Chapter 77
I sprinted through the night, where even moonlight dared not reach.
The streets were deserted—unsurprising at this late hour. I climbed the outer wall of a shopping building near the arena and pulled myself onto the rooftop, letting out a long, exhausted breath.
‘This is insane...’
A metallic taste rose up my throat like it did after a full-out sprint.
Unable to go any further, I collapsed in the center of the rooftop and desperately held on to my fading consciousness.
This wasn’t going to work. Urgent as the situation was, if I pushed myself any more, I was going to pass out in the middle of the street.
Ignoring Kwon Taehyuk’s offer to give me a ride was one thing—but collapsing in public would mean my identity splashed across the front page of every paper by morning.
Even with the skill altering my appearance—face, build, voice—I didn’t turn into a completely different person. At best, I’d look like Cha Seohu’s brother.
‘If people start saying Cover and Cha Seohu are connected... the lab bastards will figure out that Cha Sahyeon is with me.’
If they tracked me down without the right allies in place, everything would be over.
Peeling off the blood-soaked mask, I looked up at the cloud-covered night sky, then reluctantly retrieved an item from my inventory.
