Sound? Aslan stopped moving and 08acfc3542 focused on his senses.1dcc5f6011ddce25

He could feel the wind blowing outside, but he couldn’t hear any noise that would be transmitted through the mermaid communicator. He fixed his gaze on the distant lights and asked, “Can you explain in more detail what you heard?”99d05615b4b2908c

In fact, now that he had disposed of the heavy corpse, the remaining work was simple. Just one more trip. Take out the tall woman’s body and test the UV lamp. But the moment her worried, clear face came to mind, he consciously cut off his thoughts. He reached out to close the escape hatch.5816c6f4788134b5

That’s when his arm was caught by something sticky and slimy. His hand, which had been suspended in the air, didn’t move, as if it had fallen into a soft swamp. When he looked up, even the faintly shining dots had disappeared. No, they hadn’t disappeared.6c8d2ec4a6927354

“Are you laughing right now? What, I thought you held my hand yesterday because you thought I was someone who was afraid of the dark like you. Not because you’re a kind person.”4a35aae5a3680e0d

Listening to her warm grumbling, he took out the UV lamp from his pocket. When he turned it on, his vision was dyed purple, and he made eye contact with ‘it’ right in front of the emergency escape hatch. If the things he had met so far were at least inside human shells, the huge ‘something’ gripping both edges of the escape hatch was made up of constantly moving black tentacles. Only the head was white like a human skull, and the two eyes were black, hollow like black holes. His arm was pierced through its chest.55b12dd4e004f35e

Jade winked at Dylan e04796196b in a friendly manner. As the a80b18f9ae irritating static 6aa8f601c6 returned to 4a71a1b303 her ears, 8b77cf30fd Liella hesitated 522ceef4b0 before opening 5b48db6a97 her mouth.0c09436d00dd960d

“That’s a pretty name. It feels like it’s sparkling.”b59851299ade7dde

Jade repeated her name in admiration. She could have politely said thank you, but she didn’t have the mental space to chat. At her urging gaze, Jade smiled and added, as if he couldn’t help it, “That’s right. They can’t regenerate in UV light. So they react to similar lights like attacked wild animals. Especially the small ones die instantly.”9190638998fec7d4

Liella hurriedly ran over d72ccbbf4c and asked who it 970a22bdfa was, and a familiar eada5d63f3 voice came over, asking 485c06adab to be let in.

She didn’t care about the UV lamp. Cutting him off, she grabbed his hand, which was still relatively intact, and Dylan discreetly closed Jade’s door to block them off. As she led the man, who was willingly being dragged along, to her room, Liella’s head was spinning as she tried to figure out what to do first. All she had was a first aid kit and dozens of useless medical books. Should she go to the medical facility at the other end of the hallway, which she hadn’t been to yet? Was it safe?

She turned 9918aa16e9 on the 186eaeec24 shower and 0a545ab0a5 started rinsing f2e963ebc3 it with edc6db5f7e water, worried cc1e3cb253 that something 789e17ca6c might be 372180e416 left on b580e5758f the wound.

She came to her senses when the man next to her grabbed her face and lifted it up. Aslan, frowning, was looking down at her with a rare look of bewilderment. The man who had fearlessly shot at the intruder was acting as if he couldn’t dare to touch Liella with even a fingertip.

He was making that face again. The unfamiliar and awkward eyes of a boy receiving concern for the first time. The eyes of someone who doesn’t even feel the pain even while bleeding profusely from a fall… As she stared straight into those eyes, she could feel the strength slowly leaving the hand that was covering her face.
