Considering Han Seori’s worries, Kim Cheonsu felt a strange feeling about the situation unfolding before his eyes.
‘Why is it so quiet?’
It should be quiet since it’s a secretly hidden place, but even considering that, it was strangely quiet.
There should have at least been people guarding this place, but they were nowhere to be seen, which felt amiss.
Perhaps Han Seori’s concerns weren’t just groundless after all, he thought.
Fortunately, it seed he wasn’t the only one who realized this, as the order to enter didn’t co.
anwhile, the group that had left to assess the situation returned, heading towards them.
Seeing their pale faces, it was clear that sothing unexpected had happened.
Soon, an order was issued from the leader who had spoken with Han Seori.
It was a simple yet sowhat ominous order to attach lights to their helts and never wander alone.
It wasn’t a difficult task, so the group quickly finished preparing and set out in teams to secure the destination.
Kim Cheonsu, who stood at the very front, frowned at the sll of blood wafting as soon as he entered the building.
It seed the “trap” he had secretly anticipated wasn’t quite right.
Perhaps this situation was even more terrible than a trap.
Inside the building, where sothing bad had clearly happened, all that remained was the stench of blood and the weapons lying here and there.
That was the only trace of people having been there.
While thinking it was fortunate in a way, Kim Cheonsu felt his body tense at the bizarre sight.
No matter how much one prepares, achieving perfect preparation is nearly impossible.
With the thought that this might be his last, he searched the building with his colleagues.
Examining the traces scattered on the floor, Kim Cheonsu felt a strange unease.
He understood that the traces were likely left by the rampaging Anomaly.
However, there were odd traces left on the victims’ equipnt.
They seed like traces left by humans rather than an Anomaly.
Especially on the flashlights they were presud to have been holding, the traces were heavy. No, it seed almost all the traces were left there.
Seeing the traces that looked as if they had been damaged by people, he had a feeling that this wasn’t simply a case of negligent Anomaly managent.
He reported this, but the order remained the sa. Only a command to investigate more carefully was returned.
‘It’s dangerous.’
His colleagues, with whom he shared the information, also tensed their faces and readjusted their weapons.
Then.
"Detected signs presud to be an Anomaly in the basent. Requesting support."
Would that even be aningful?
Considering the surrounding circumstances, he thought it might be aningless, but he had to go.
The group exchanged glances and began to descend towards the basent in unison.
Nurous lights fixed above their heads illuminated every direction.
Arriving at the guided location, they saw the group that had requested support staring sowhere with dazed faces.
“What the…”
With Kim Cheonsu’s puzzled mumbling, the group that had been called for support arrived at the scene one after another.
Thinking that an appropriate number had gathered, the order to approach was given, and even Kim Cheonsu, who had been feeling puzzled, tensed his body.
Soon, a bizarre sight ca into his view.
Sothing long and red was stretched out in all directions. Those tentacles had sharp teeth-like protrusions, with shreds of flesh, presud to be from the victims, hanging limply.
Following the source, a statue-like object could be seen, and all those tentacles seed to originate from the statue.
The tentacles protruding from the thin cracks seed to have swallowed the victims.
Looking up, the wings that sohow evoked a sense of reverence were drenched in the red traces of blood.
The hands gathered as if in prayer at the center of the chest felt as if they were begging for forgiveness for what they had done.
Could such acts be forgiven with a single prayer?
The strangest thing was that despite the scattered prey it had eagerly devoured all around.
It showed no movent at all.
As if it had turned to stone, struck by divine punishnt.
Finally, in the eyes of those who fully raised their gazes.
With a *slurp*… *slurp* sound.
7496-KR, the sli girl, was seen absorbing into her body what was presud to be the statue’s head.
“…?”
At the soft sight that didn’t match the ominous scene, question marks popped up in the minds of those watching.
At that mont, perhaps the power facility had been restored as the light returned to the passage that had been buried in darkness.
*Slurp*… *slurp*…
They thought they had seen wrong, but it was indeed 7496-KR.
The sli girl, as if greatly flustered by the current situation, was lting the object inside her belly.
Could it be that 7496-KR had devoured it?
Despite the grueso scene and the soft appearance of the girl that didn’t match it, the tension of those surrounding 7496-KR and the presud Anomaly did not ease.
Even amidst the bizarre confrontation, the sli girl diligently lted the statue.
At so point, the statue rapidly lted as if losing strength and, with a *crumble* turned into stone fragnts.
Falling onto the collapsed stone fragnts, 7496-KR, the sli girl, plopped onto the ground and placed a wriggling glob of sli on top of her head.
Then, as if surrendering, she raised her hands high.
At this, confusion spread across the faces of those aiming their weapons at her.
“It might be a trap.”
“She’ll snatch us when we let our guard down.”
Even those who had seen the sli girl’s friendly deanor didn’t readily show a positive reaction to the scene that had unfolded around the sli girl.
As Kim Cheonsu wondered how long this strange confrontation would last, he thought about Han Seori, who was still outside the building. If this bizarre standoff with the sli girl continued, she might co down to investigate herself.
‘At this rate…’
Kim Cheonsu imagined Han Seori saying she would co down to the basent.
He pondered her likely actions for a mont.
Then he concluded that she would definitely co down if the confrontation persisted. It seed inevitable that she would personally intervene.
‘It’s dangerous.’
Kim Cheonsu knew he couldn’t let that happen. There might still be other threats remaining, and what if they were targeting Han Seori?
So.
Kim Cheonsu mustered up his courage, recalling the mories of playing(?) with 7496-KR, the sli girl.
To prevent Han Seori from coming here directly.
“I… I’ll try making contact.”
“Additional equipnt, hm? What did you say?”
“I said I’ll try making contact. I think… we’ve built a bond of sorts.”
Though I don’t know what 7496-KR thinks.
The man looking at Kim Cheonsu had a face that seed to say, “What the hell did this kid eat wrong?” But when Han Seori heard his voice, she made an “Oh!” sound.
“…Pardon? You’re authorizing it? No… hm.”
The man, with a troubled look on his face, gave Kim Cheonsu a look asking if he would really be okay.
Kim Cheonsu, who confidently nodded at the worry seeping from that face, soon received permission and put down his weapon.
Then, taking off his helt, he slowly approached 7496-KR, the sli girl, and spoke.
“You… Damn Sno- no, um… what should I call you… ah, anyway, do you rember ?”
As Kim Cheonsu slowly approached and spoke, the sli girl’s face turned towards him as if reacting to his voice.
Kim Cheonsu gulped at the sowhat indifferent-looking eyes.
Is this the… Damn Snot… that I rember?
Am I going to et my end because I pointlessly spoke up?
To be honest, he had stepped forward to… earn so points from Han Seori, but now that he was up close, he sowhat regretted it.
‘Co to think of it, she spat sli at .’
Will it be okay?
“There, it’s okay now. I’ll take you to Dr. Han Seori, so…”
*Twitch*.
As Han Seori’s na left Kim Cheonsu’s mouth, the ahoge on top of the sli girl’s head twitched.
Kim Cheonsu, thinking it was a positive signal, lowered his posture and spread his arms as if waiting to pick up a child.
The sli girl, after twitching her ahoge as if pondering for a mont, acted as if sighing and slowly approached Kim Cheonsu.
The mont everyone’s attention was focused.
The sli girl clung to Kim Cheonsu.
And sprayed a bundle of tentacles from her body.
*Whoosh*! *Whoosh*!
At that abnormal behavior, gun muzzles were aid at Kim Cheonsu.
Even though Kim Cheonsu knew they weren’t pointed at him, he felt strangely disappointed and opened his mouth.
“I… I think I’m fine… You don’t have to worry.”
He was also startled by what had spurted from the sli girl’s body, but it felt familiar. Rather, this seed better than the sli.
Since he didn’t feel like his body was lting or anything, he thought it was the sli girl’s way of expressing sothing.
But.
Is it just my imagination, or does 7496-KR also look a bit flustered?
7496-KR was attached to Kim Cheonsu’s body, but she wasn’t exactly in an embracing posture. If anything, it felt like a backpack worn on the front.
The sky-blue tentacles protruding from the sli girl’s body were attached to Kim Cheonsu’s torso, seemingly supporting the sli girl’s body.
Seeing this, Kim Cheonsu felt strange.
It was like looking at a cat that didn’t want to go into the water.
‘Is it because she doesn’t want to be held by …?’
Kim Cheonsu, who had tried to hold the sli girl in his arms, felt sowhat disappointed and lowered his hands.
To others, it looked like the sli girl was tightly hugging Kim Cheonsu.
“…Does he have that kind of preference?”
“N-No, it’s not like that! I’m not touching her!”
“Hm… well, okay. I’ll assign a few personnel to escort you back to Dr. Han.”
“No, but…”
If I was really holding her, I wouldn’t even feel wronged.
Soon.
Kim Cheonsu, receiving lukewarm and dubious gazes from his colleagues.
Left the building and returned to where Han Seori was.
When 7496-KR spotted Dr. Han Seori, she released the tentacles that had been wrapping Kim Cheonsu, approached Han Seori, and hugged her.
This ti, she hugged normally without spraying tentacles.
Seeing this, Kim Cheonsu sohow felt displeased.
Why does she seem to discriminate between people?
Nevertheless.
“Ah, Agent Kim Cheonsu. Thanks to you, the situation was resolved easily. Thank you.”
“Haha… it was nothing.”
He was in a good mood again at Han Seori’s praise.
anwhile.
Han Seori, who had been patting 7496-KR with an apologetic look while holding her in her arms, hardened her face as she heard the report.
