Heo Yoon sat quietly and examined Lim Da-bin’s condition.

Dabin lying on the floor of the elevator.

His eyes are closed and he cannot wake up, but there is no visible trauma.

“Everyone, come out to the back.”

First, I made the others move aside.

There are a lot of questions that come to mind, but the first thing to do is to understand the situation.

“Daju.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Please take a look at the elevator over there with Haewon.”

It’s not just Dabin who needs to be concerned.

Another elevator visible outside the torn door.

As soon as that elevator appeared, Dabin threw himself towards it.

So, does that mean Dabin used that?

Cheeek-

The newly appeared elevator appears to be completely broken, stopping in the air and spouting smoke.

A box with no idea where it came from or who is inside it.

Da-ju Yoon and Hae-won Jeong look over there carefully.

“Don’t get too close.”

“Yes.”

As soon as Heo Yoon speaks, Da-ju Yoon loses her balance and struggles.

“Wow!”

“Sister!”

Fortunately, Jeong Hae-won caught him, so he didn’t fall outside.

“Wow, I almost died. Right.”

“Be careful, please.”

Heo Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

The one who almost fell is Yoon Da-joo, but Jung Hae-won looks even more surprised.

Daju is not at all intimidated and is thinking about going out again.

“I just had a good idea, Haewon, would you like to hold on to me like before?”

“Yes? Why?”

“That way you can see further.”

“… … Is that so?”

I feel like I’m going to stretch out of the elevator again right now.

I thought Jeong Hae-won was okay. What’s going on over there?

“No.”

While resolutely interjecting, Heo Yoon tapped Seok Hyeon-min, who was next to him, with his elbow.

“Hey. Seok Hyun-min.”

“Okay.”

It’s because I’m anxious about leaving it to just those two.

Hyeonmin quickly approaches the door where the two people are.

I left the surveillance outside for a while and checked Dabin’s condition again.

Looking back on the knowledge I learned in the past.

I worked as a nurse for a while, so I can do this easily.

First of all, breathing.

I lifted my index finger and gently placed it on Dabin’s face.

The wind feels weak. For now, I am breathing.

Next, the wet outer clothing was removed and the movement of the chest was checked.

Breathing is not very regular.

Is it a mental issue like a panic attack?

Or heart problems?

The moment I lifted my wrist to check my pulse, I felt my heart sink.

“Uh.”

A sigh escapes my throat without my knowledge.

My skin is as cold as ice.

The limp wrists were white and bloodless,

Above all, I can’t find a pulse.

“Sister. How is Dabin’s condition now?”

Beside me, Choi Se-rim asks anxiously.

“It’s not serious, right? Yes?”

Heo Yun swallowed back the tears that threatened to burst out and concentrated all his mind on the sensation of his fingertips again.

But coming back only brought even more despair.

“… … .”

“Sister?”

I threw away my wrist and this time placed my hand under Dabin’s ribs and pressed down.

I was finally able to properly check the pulse that had been so hard to find.

My heart was beating at an incredible speed.

Intermittent tremor seizures are also observed.

So this is… … .

“Not enough blood.”

“Yes? What do you think is lacking?”

“I really don’t have enough blood.”

Dabin’s heart is working hard to circulate the desperately lacking blood throughout his body.

What on earth have you done?

I took off my wet outerwear a little while ago, and just now I took off my outer clothes to check my pulse.

Still, there is no visible trauma. No matter where you look, all you see is pale, smooth skin.

Although there is no injury, symptoms such as excessive bleeding appear.

Can this be explained medically?

Heo Yoon lowered his voice so that others could not hear.

The only ones nearby are Choi Se-rim and AI.

Everyone else is checking the other elevator outside.

“Can I get a blood transfusion here?”

AI asks helplessly.

“What? Blood transfusion? Of course I can’t. All I can do is first aid.”

“… … Tell me what to do.”

Choi Se-rim is almost on the verge of tears.

In a desperate situation, Heo Yoon squeezed out the memories that remained in his mind.

“First of all, there will be symptoms of dehydration. So, starting with water. However, you should not drink a lot of water, and at first, just wet a cloth with water and wipe your lips… … .”

“I understand.”

Choi Se-rim moves to the bag against the wall.

“And it will become difficult to maintain body temperature.”

“I’ll bring clothes.”

“Yes.”

While the AI was rummaging through the bag, Heo Yoon took off the clothes she was wearing and covered Da-bin Lim’s body.

It’s a short-sleeved t-shirt, but it’s better than nothing.

A chill reached my exposed underwear.

This is the elevator where water was pouring down just a moment ago. It was impossible to look forward to the summer heat.

“Hu… … .”

I gritted my teeth and wiped the cold sweat from Dabin’s forehead.

Even though I only touched him for a moment, I could tell that Dabin was shaking.

“What on earth did you do? … .”

“Probably used permission.”

“Permissions?”

“The librarian authority I gave you. I did something with that.”

“What?”

I can’t think properly.

Heo Yoon continued to ask questions in short answers, and soon recalled memories that had become blurred.

“We were almost scared a little while ago. Water continued to pour from the ceiling. Wasn’t your memory strange too?”

“… … yes. Why didn’t I remember?”

“But now?”

“I’m fine. All of us.”

Choi Se-rim also realized something late.

“There was something. Dabin got rid of it.”

“So, you are saying that you used your librarian authority at that time. Then I overexerted myself and it ended up like this… … .”

“Serim!?”

dump.

Serim Choi knelt and sat down by Dabin Lim’s bedside.

‘How did you do it alone… … .’

The librarian’s authority has now passed to Dabin Lim, but it was once hers.

The ability to read and manipulate other people’s thoughts, which was originally possessed.

The librarian’s authority is added to that.

Even with those two things, he couldn’t change anything.

‘How on earth… … .’

Just cowardly, messing with other people’s hearts.

I was just hiding in a corner of the apartment.

And now,

‘Dabin was just hiding behind me.’

It’s all your fault.

Dabin accepted the burden that should have been his own without any hesitation.

Without any ability, even trying to do it alone like this.

A burning sense of guilt continued to chip away at Choi Se-rim’s heart.

“Ugh.”

“Serim.”

“Huh… … .”

Although she couldn’t hold back her tears, Choi Se-rim forced her head up.

This was before Heo Yoon could say anything.

“Then, you have to do something now.”

“Yes.”

“Somehow, find a floor where blood transfusion or treatment is possible, find it… … . Dabin needs to be saved.”

Heo Yoon nodded silently.

His gaze was placed somewhere behind Choi Se-rim.

With his hand, he is wiping Dabin Lim’s lips with a wet cloth to provide moisture.

“Sister. You have a ball and a notebook, right? I’ll look for it there. I.”

“Wait a minute.”

“You have to move quickly now. Hi! That’s how it should be.”

“Wait a minute.”

“Give it to me quickly!”

Choi Se-rim roughly snatched the notebook containing the exploration data that Heo Yoon was holding.

Next, Choi Se-rim flips through the paper and looks at it.

But Heo Yun couldn’t bear to look in that direction.

“… … .”

Three people at the door, looking nervous.

It wasn’t just because I noticed Dabin’s condition.

There is someone in the newly appeared elevator on the other side.

Druk, Druk.

The metal door doesn’t seem to open when you press the button, but a loud noise is coming from inside.

Daju says, fiddling with the palu in her hand.

“Sister, what should I do? Can you help me?”

“I know who it is over there.”

“These are the people who came with Dabin oppa.”

Heo Yoon was speechless.

It’s so naive that I can’t refute it.

Seok Hyun-min seems to be similarly speechless, but there is only one person: Jeong Hae-won, and they get along very well.

“Huh? Is it even possible to think like that?”

“That’s right.”

“Now that I think about it again, I think what you said is right?”

“Let’s go and help. Then there will be some way.”

“But isn’t there a need for my sister to approach first? It’s not too late to check who’s inside before leaving.”

Jeong Hae-won makes a reasonable point.

But Daju’s side also seemed to have its own thoughts.

“You have to help first to get points. Wouldn’t that allow us to confidently ask for help?”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“What do you think?”

The decision-making power again passed to Heo Yoon.

She has been the leader ever since her uncle died.

“… … Of course not.”

Heo Yoon pointed to the abyss outside the door.

Even though Dabin Lim has removed ‘something dangerous’, the long hallway is still waiting with its mouth wide open.

“It’s dangerous to cross right away. The distance is too far.”

“You can hang a rope.”

“What? Where?”

“Actually, I already hung it.”

Daju Yoon held up a rope that was pulled tautly.

“I tied it to the protruding part over there. It won’t fall anyway.”

“Did you go out the door and tie it up? Is that really why you guys were so quiet?”

“Yes.”

Daju smiles triumphantly even in a hopeless situation.

“How do you feel? If I want to save Davin, wouldn’t it be right to bet here?”

Heo Yoon cupped his forehead and sighed.

“Hey, Seok Hyeon-min. Didn’t you know I sent you to stop them?”

“Huh? Was it something like that? Don’t talk.”

“I’m going crazy, really… … .”

bang! bang! bang!

Druk, Druk, Druk!

As you cross, the noise from the elevator gets worse, and now it’s loud enough to rumble through the hallway.

“If you cross now, you won’t be late.”

“No.”

Heo Yun shook his head resolutely.

“It’s too dangerous.”

“… … Daju does what he says.”

“What?”

A low voice coming from next to me.

It was Choi Se-rim.

“Choi Se-rim, why are you like this?”

“… … .”

It was absurd.

Others may not know, but Choi Se-rim was always calm.

Why did you lose your composure at a time like this?

It seemed like it was because Dabin was injured. I don’t know much about them, but their relationship seemed special even from afar.

Heo Yoon gave up completely and asked Seok Hyeon-min this time.

” Seok Hyun-min, you. What do you think?”

“I think it’s right not to do it.”

“Right?”

“But I don’t think it would be of any use if we tried to stop it.”

“You know anyway. I heard earlier that Dabin was in a very serious situation.”

“That’s what I’m saying! What will Dabin do if things get worse? If you say you have to get out of the elevator!”

Heo Yoon raised his voice.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

Aside from Daju, Serim and Hyunmin. Why is everyone doing this?

It’s clear that everyone has lost their composure because of Dabin’s incident.

Otherwise, there would be no way to proceed with something so reckless.

No matter how much he thought about it, Heo Yun couldn’t understand other people.

Instead, I just stuck to my initial thoughts.

“Listen carefully. All you have to do is go to another floor and find something like a blood transfusion pack or treatment. Then Dabin can be saved, and everyone can get out of this hallway safely. Why don’t we do this? Why?”

“Sister.”

“What. Am I wrong?”

“Calm down. Sister, I was so excited.”

“Who is excited about who right now?”

“And it’s the same even if you go to another floor anyway. It’s equally dangerous.”

“… … .”

Heo Yoon took a breath and leaned with his hands on the mirrored wall.

Now I can finally see my condition.

Her cheeks are flushed, and tears are welling up at the corners of her eyes.

The person who was losing his composure was clearly himself.

“Then, ”

He asked in a slightly calmer voice.

“Then is this method safe?”

“Yes. This is trusting Dabin.”

Seok Hyun-min raises his glasses and calmly comforts Heo Yoon.

“It’s the elevator that Dabin brought.”

“Same thing as what Daju said.”

“If there was something truly dangerous trapped in there, there is no way Dabin would have dragged it to us.”

“What if you had no choice but to come up?”

“In that case, I would have rather stayed downstairs alone. I think Dabin jumped with that in mind from the beginning.”

“You may have done it without knowing.”

Seok Hyeon-min quietly shook his head.

While patting Heo Yoon’s shoulder with his hand.

“You know too. What did Dabin get from the library?”

“… … Librarian’s authority.”

“Yes. He probably knew it to some extent.”

“Okay.”

Heo Yoon took a deep breath and composed himself.

” I’ll do as you say. What about the other kids?”

“I went there a long time ago.”

“… … .”

“Good job.”

***

Shake!

Shake!

Shake!

Inside the tightly closed elevator door.

Dan, the driver, tried to shake the door, but there was no sign of it opening.

Rico falls unconscious with serious injuries.

and even Robin, a member of the Foundation’s council.

The three people were trapped in the elevator, just waiting for the situation to turn around.
