Chapter 151
...The phrase 'What a relief that you're alive' carried two implied premises.
That he knew who the other person is.
And that he had assumed that person was dead.
All of it pointed back to one thing.
The Security Team's sergeant had recognized me, the one sitting in the taxi driver's seat, as Supervisor Kim Soleum of the Field Exploration Team who had been declared deceased.
'...Since when?'
I checked the sergeant sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He was wearing his worn security uniform as if they were civilian clothes, cap pulled low.
I couldn't see his face clearly.
But somehow... he seemed relieved.
Suddenly, I remembered what Supervisor Park Minseong had said.
– Sergeant Jay from the Security Team asked about you sometimes... I didn't say you got lost in a Darkness or anything... but a few days ago, he seemed to have figured it out already.
...Given his years of experience as a sergeant in the Security Team, he would've seen plenty of rookies from Daydream Inc.'s Field Exploration Team vanish.
