Chapter 150
Shin Hae-ryang kept watch outside the elevator, while Seo Jihyuk was inside with the others. Baek Ae-young tinkered with the elevator’s internal panel and then called for Shin Hae-ryang. Shin Hae-ryang, who entered the elevator backward while keeping his eyes on the front, nodded at Baek Ae-young’s question.
“Should we go up right away?”
“Yeah. Right now.”
The elevator doors closed. As it started to ascend with a slight dizziness, those who were standing gradually slid down to the floor, clinging to the elevator walls. Tumanako leaned his head against the elevator wall and slumped down lifelessly. As if even breathing was bothersome, Tumanako spoke with difficulty.
“I’m tired. I want to go home.”
I too lost my strength and slumped down like a pile of discarded clothes on the floor. John Doe was lying with his back against the floor, as if he didn’t care how dirty the elevator floor was.
It seemed only the three members of Engineering Team D looked somewhat normal. My palms were sticky with dried blood. I didn’t want to think about anything. I just wanted to go home and lie down in my own bed.
And facing the reality that wasn’t so, I leaned my body against the elevator wall. I’m sick of elevators now. It’s the 21st century, why don’t we have winged transportation yet?
“Are you okay?”
