Chapter 27: Backlash Part 1
Quietness blanketed the Event hall. Everyone froze in place, disbelief written on their faces.
It had taken several seconds too long before they all realized they were still alive.
Sighs escaped everyone as they fell to the ground, their limbs weak and shaking.
Sae-wee was the only one standing. Despite being covered in wounds and bleeding, she stood, peering at the wall Min-ho’s and Ji-su’s puzzle room rested behind.
Inside, Ji-su crumbled to the ground, his heart hammering in his chest.
He was shaken and deathly pale.
Besides the heavy breathing filling the air, no one said anything.
Opening his eyes, Min-ho jolted up. He felt his skin crawl due to the eerie silence that overtook the environment.
For a moment, he feared the worst.
But just then, a familiar voice rang out.
"Ji-su?" Dok-su called out. His voice finally audible from the other side of the wall.
