Rattle rattle rattle!

After shaking the metal door for a while, Dan was convinced.

I got stuck in the elevator.

With a patient bleeding excessively and a psychopathic professor holding a pistol.

“Robin. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Dan asked, but Robin just answered calmly.

“Well. Something may have changed the flow.”

“Is it okay for you to speak so casually? The professor brought you here!”

“It was the only way for you to live.”

“Ah, yes. Also, at times like this, you talk as if you know everything. I don’t even know how to get out of here right now.”

Robin just smiled quietly.

“Ha… … . professor. Please.”

“Just call me Robin. Me too, please.”

It’s always fun to tease newbies.

I never get tired of it after almost half a century.

Dan gave up and turned back to the door.

“Keep shaking the door. Then maybe a solution will come out.”

“Robin. Are you kidding me?”

“Hmm. I don’t know.”

This is a common occurrence when working with new employees.

They make a fuss about insignificant things, but at the most important moment, they get nervous and end up dying.

This is why experienced workers are treated well at the foundation.

“Dan. Here’s some advice: It’s not the elevator doors that are important.”

“Then what is it?”

“Pay attention to the situation around you. Sometimes a bold leap of logic is necessary.”

“Yes. You must be happy because you are a genius. He even became a professor at that age. You probably don’t care about stupid drivers.”

Robin tasted bitterly.

I wasn’t offended by Dan’s remarks.

As long as my thinking ability did not decline, I maintained my physical age as high as possible.

My current body is in my early to mid 30s.

Is it better to walk around looking a little older?

“Ugh.”

Robin bowed.

The driver wasn’t the only thing she had to take care of.

Riko Ichinose.

I gather my thoughts while examining the condition of the foundation researcher who was seriously injured.

‘It’s clear that there was an anomalous entity here.’

A brief feeling of fear and emptiness. And forgetfulness that occurred infrequently.

You can know it from experience.

Anomalous entity. It is also an influence intentionally exerted on the mind of a living being by a hostile entity.

But now I don’t feel anything.

‘There was an elevator crash in between.’

Was there an anomalous entity that got crushed by an elevator and died?

no way.

A being with this level of ability would not die from being hit by the ceiling of an elevator.

To die because of the selfishness of civilization. This only applies to stupid Cthulhu.

Judging from past experience, this is someone coming to help.

But who?

professor?

He can’t do that.

So is this another survivor who entered this apartment?

It would be quite interesting if they knew about the anomaly and the underbelly of the world.

Robin stood up.

“Dan. Come out this way.”

Dan had been working on dismantling the door for a while, but was exhausted and leaning against the door.

“Now I see you are thinking of using a leap of logic.”

“No. There is no such thing anymore.”

Geek-

Robin was the only one in the elevator who heard the slightest noise coming through the crack in the door.

“I just think it would hurt quite a bit if I stayed there.”

This time, Robin smiled brightly and adjusted his clothes.

It’s impossible for a British lady to look disheveled in front of a stranger.

Dan just looked dumbly towards Robin.

“What does that mean… … .”

It was before the words were even finished.

“One, two, three!”

“Open!!!”

Gigi Gigi Geek-

Tooung!

The door suddenly opened, and Dan, who was leaning against the door, fell outside.

“Uhm. W-what is this!?”

Dan, who was struggling with his arms, was hit hard on the head with a stick by an unfamiliar girl.

Kang!

” billion.”

Dan came back into the elevator with a single scream.

Robin frowned slightly.

“U. It must hurt.”

By the way, it appears that it was a door that could never be opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door from the outside was just a girl holding a palu.

Next to the girl, two men are standing very nervous.

“Hello. It’s my first time seeing you.”

Robin lightly held out his hand and faced the new rescue team.

“Shall we shake hands?”

***

Inside the elevator, there was a lot more space.

Heo Yoon looked down at the floor.

The floor, which had been so wet, was dry and soft as if it had never been that way.

As always, this place is full of things that are completely incomprehensible.

Am I doing well?

Seok Hyun-min, Yoon Da-ju, and Jeong Hae-won left for the elevator across the street.

Dabin is still unconscious. Choi Se-rim and AI are taking care of Dabin by his side.

But just listing simple facts doesn’t help the situation.

Instead, I almost got in the way.

I lost my composure and started talking to myself, only to end up wasting time.

What would have happened if Daju and Hyunmin had listened to me?

What if I left here and moved to another floor?

What if you went around there looking for a way to treat Dabin?

I may have abandoned what little potential I had and faced greater danger.

Perhaps, it could have completely ruined Dabin’s planned painting.

Dabin has the authority of a librarian.

It is said that one can even glimpse into the future to some extent.

That’s why they always get ahead of themselves and don’t tell you anything.

I know it’s something that can’t be helped.

Knowledge of the future is itself poison. An extreme poison that puts your life at risk just by hearing or recognizing it.

All I can do is follow Dabin with all my might.

It was her job to lead those who had fallen behind.

Everyone only believes in themselves.

Heo Yun could not trust anyone. Even herself.

“Serim. How is Dabin?”

“I have a hard time breathing and my body is shaking very badly. I keep getting cold sweats.”

In the meantime, it was fortunate that Choi Se-rim found her composure.

“Keep it warm.”

“Sister. Is Dabin okay?”

“I don’t know. Just looking at the symptoms, I think I’m going into shock, but I don’t know what to do.”

Panting breathing.

Faint heartbeat.

Cold skin, cold sweat.

These are all symptoms that appear when blood is insufficient.

If this continues, shock may occur and life may become dangerous.

“Give me the clothes.”

Heo Yoon rolled up the clothes and put them under Im Da-bin’s legs.

“I’m running low on blood right now, so I lift my leg and force the blood towards my head.”

“Yes… … .”

“What’s next?”

“You might vomit, so watch carefully and don’t choke.”

Heo Yoon continued to shine the light in front of the elevator door so that the group that went outside could return.

After a while.

A human figure emerged from the darkness.

I was nervous for a moment.

Daju Yoon returned with people she had never seen before.

“Wait,”

There was no way to stop him.

One man and two women enter the elevator.

The man was carrying a woman wearing a lab coat, and he seemed to have been carrying the injured woman.

Are these people really part of Dabin’s plan, so they can help us?

Seok Hyeon-min and Yoon Da-ju came in after them. Jeong Haewon.

Heo Yoon lowered his voice for no reason.

“Hyeonmin. Have you talked to those people?”

“… … Yes.”

First of all, Hyunmin seems to be sane.

Also, since it means that they didn’t come back because they were possessed by something strange, those people can be trusted to some extent.

maybe.

“Hey,”

“Hello. My name is Robin.”

“This is Heo Yoon. however… … . korea… … Are you human?”

“No. I’m from England. It’s amazing that we can communicate.”

“Yes.”

Heo Yun nodded blankly.

Anyone can see that he is a Westerner, but he speaks Korean very fluently. Plus, you can have a two-way conversation.

‘How on earth… … ?’

I gave up my thoughts.

I don’t understand it, but that’s not that important.

Because there is something more important than that.

“I’ll ask you straight.”

“I’ll start with the main point.”

Robin and Heo Yun.

The two people’s voices overlapped.

It was Robin who gave in.

“Please speak first.”

Heo Yoon gestured toward the inside of the elevator.

This is where Lim Da-bin collapsed.

“And, who was walking with me, is on the verge of going into shock due to lack of blood. Before I collapsed, you said you knew the cure.”

“Is that so?”

“You know, right? The cure.”

Robin shook his head slightly.

“No. Actually, I don’t know anything about treatment. We also have a patient, and if there was a cure, we would have cured this person right away.”

“Then… … ?”

“But I think I know something. By feeling.”

“By feeling?”

“No. Let me just say this.”

When Heo Yoon responded with disbelief, Robin changed his words.

“I know the floor that can treat dying patients. I know how to get there.”

“How can you believe that?”

“Because we are in an urgent situation.”

Unlike Heo Yoon, who became very anxious, Robin seemed relaxed.

It was a tug-of-war where the winner and loser were decided from the beginning.

“… … Okay.”

“Then, I will press the button.”

Heo Yoon moved aside so Robin could press the elevator button.

Hold. Hold. Hold.

“The elevator is a bit narrow. People… … Because there are nine people.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

While answering roughly, Heo Yoon concentrated on the tips of his fingers moving between the buttons.

I have no intention of fully trusting this woman named Robin.

I was planning to secretly remember the floor number, but my intention was so obvious that it was read.

“Ah. There is no need to try to memorize the numbers.”

Heo Yun quickly averted his eyes, but Robin was still looking at the number plate.

At the foundation, she had almost always lived a calm, serious, and sometimes nervous life, but she changed when she was in front of new recruits.

Because teasing newbies was something I never got tired of.

It was very unfortunate for her that she was promoted to a high-ranking position and could not see new employees.

Survivors encountered in another elevator.

These people are definitely not from the Foundation.

But now that you’ve stepped foot here, it means you’re a newbie among newbies.

Robin smiled brightly and turned around.

“I pressed anything anyway.”

“Hey, you crazy… … !”

Heo Yoon rushed out and tried to stop Robin, but it was already too late.

Before I had time to adjust my posture, the elevator began to fall rapidly.

“What are you doing now? Are you crazy?”

“Mr. Heo? No. I should call you Mr. Yoon.”

“Hey. Seok Hyeon-min. Take it down quickly! Help me from here!”

Robin continued speaking while being held by the collar.

“Do you believe in fate, Mr. Yoon?”

Although we do not have the ability to foresee the future, we can see the trends created by others.

From the moment Robin encountered the survivors inside the apartment.

Destiny was fixed on one path.
