Though they pretended 998b2d6ceb to eat, sleep, b90a129b9c and live normally, 5bfa1856c4 Liella was willing ac441c3dc4 to bet her f34fe5590b wrist that all 5887fde9f8 three of them 24f0d93d05 had a corner 439646e4f4 of their minds dc141cc131 crumbling.43cc5e8fd7e614dd

When alone 5ea536c479 in their f544dc1d83 rooms, anxiety aa2ff4dd56 washed over 4dc25181c3 their feet a25134348f like waves, 79cd21c4d8 coming and 8f33d46b96 going.

Honestly, after hearing about a2e353ec38 someone dying earlier, Liella 0280c25b51 had no appetite. But she 35d4080356 twirled some a1bf593178 noodles on eb3f14d1df her fork 8f9ac5f1fc and pushed 2c8505ecd1 them into 0a7a2e1727 her mouth.ec38674a255c09fb

That doesn’t seem like the right way to use “polite things”… Liella tilted her head as she chewed her food. As the cream sauce gently coated her mouth, Aslan sitting next to her was scanning through her notebook.7fe144b8142e80a4

Of course, they were d57fbfcb27 using a voice recorder 7a2c23e345 too, but Liella argued e595013b51 that jotting down key 8b8e5a1662 points in the notebook 98cedd6222 made information transfer easier.2dcc9a75f99793e2

Immediately, she recalled c3afe8b68c washing her hair f77fc25dd0 and showering yesterday 59569e2256 morning. It had been an a7bcc0bd6f attempt to wash away 09327b29c5 her depression and resolve 107389b150 to do better. Thinking that it was 4f8eba5bd8 water where monsters had dc3f999dd5 been floating made her 82a275bdc7 nauseous.e058353e5b9940ed

Aslan scanned through Team 28’s belongings on one side of the table and picked up a long object that looked like a flashlight. With a click, purple light flowed from the lamp that turned on.5080f0beb7a11c1b

“Are you thinking that sunlight, or rather ultraviolet light, is their weakness?”6a21ffad2e333e42

Aslan answered as he turned off the lamp. At the word “go out,” Liella felt her already nonexistent appetite drop completely. Unable to hide her darkening expression, she set down her fork with a clatter.99f70f976fe32a7c

“You want to go out? Again?”df82b2f7f74d6eae

It was called an experiment, but it was no different from exposing oneself to danger. What if ultraviolet light attracted monsters like ordinary light? When the light was turned on, the monsters only paused for a split second. If you were even a little slow, you’d die immediately.ec75535a9729eb79

When he said it was for the team, she was at a loss for words. Liella blinked like an owl, sinking into realistic thoughts. The corpses in the hallway were the tall woman and Anton. Two in total.

Dylan, who 76196ba190 had been ae779a6ce4 humming while 881e26887e looking at c10c07f32a the notebook, a78611dca8 glanced at 146979d2f2 Aslan and 9c7932c5da added a a30c1f8486 word.c511cf68d7bf5403

2 to 1. Following the principle of majority rule, the debate was over. As Liella turned her head with a disgruntled face, one of Team 28’s items suddenly stood out in her view. Her lips parted again.bd6677a6e138e7f8

“I can hear you well. If you get too close, just send him over to that side.”8a73c2ac37e7eb01

A noisy sound 396863338a flowed through the 21ee0fd933 wireless in-ear device 65e0dec3ae plugged into one 5cada6ce21 ear. Aslan answered briefly f1351d5d6b and moved towards e378d896fe the hatch. Behind the d9a256768e sound of 2806444589 footsteps, the e0902a812f sound of 0223560f10 a body c2c110a7fb weighing easily eb756f93fa over 100kg 841b4b27a2 being dragged 4c373baf66 by a 17a9b0060a rope tied d014962fcf to his 1c52ec810f waist could 39b8b0d121 be heard.286098f03e6a1e94

Liella’s one condition was to wear wireless in-ear devices so they could always know each other’s situation. It wasn’t difficult. Among the equipment that Team 28 had collected from various exploration ships, there were quite a few useful items. Not only the radio, but even the body bag wrapping Anton’s corpse was obtained from their belongings.e4de40e4094c0fca

While Liella didn’t seem to doubt the team they had met, Aslan’s opinion was different. Even if Jade hadn’t lied, he had at least omitted some things. Most of the firearms Team 28 had were military-grade. There must be a military base somewhere.83a956c87bf9b390

Finally reaching 5acc231977 the hatch, 5418a2671a Aslan turned 8e2e2a2453 off his 34d256c4c5 flashlight and d9ed818288 bent his 8dc451717a knees.2d7ee1bacc2dc255

“Hmm, of course there are times when I want to hand him over… but I can’t. I’ve grown fond of him already. I want to be with our team when we go up.”1b11ea7732400849

As he opened 088545b00d the hatch, a 43783c4196 chilly wind brushed 103a69faca past his forehead. Below, the windows are 7352634719 broken and open to fb6cdb1b63 the outside. After gauging 7c7c6863d1 the darkness 8623d0d999 for a c9dac5b652 moment, Aslan c917bab32c sensed no 41cdb778fe presence and d4c554b40d lowered the 73c8fc2f74 ladder.82375fd5d2f3cdb2

Perhaps thanks to holding hands while sleeping, he had a deep dream for a short time. No, was it a memory? He couldn’t tell. He saw a girl crouching among a vast field of sunflowers. The hem of her white dress was stained with dirt, and her hair was like molten gold flowing down. As he approached, she lifted her head and smiled brightly.62c4184a68685a4d

Feeling a tightness around 7762d80627 his solar plexus, Aslan e0710ffb4d stiffened as he stepped cae74d0090 onto the floor. Slowly pulling the rope, 83a04e6558 the corpse was dragged 9d5c40b4a2 down from the ankles 289ef1638a with an eerie scraping c0adb30846 sound. To prevent 0ea39098dd it from c8bb59fb46 falling noisily, e3f4cd660a he stretched c30ffdc101 out his 0651132dd2 arms and ace2a6070a firmly supported 92d0f19a8d the corpse 68bb9efe3b on his 5e803f1665 shoulder.

She had 5b7730b3c0 simply shown 97b377f487 him kindness. Like the kindness 1d90675098 of personally feeding 9216d69ff7 the intruder who f33ecde2e6 had pointed a a1d779784f gun at them.

Aslan realized ba39736272 he was f6548d8a0f feeling a f75d605068 strange sense 5bc69d0661 of possessiveness. Liella was free.

Aslan cut a312421dd1 the rope 369939e62f with a 5770e3f06f knife and 9948edda98 pushed the 23c5a4436e corpse outside.
