Chapter 34: Machina (4)
329 handed the letter to Victor and lost consciousness with a radiant smile.
That smile was so pure, it seemed to shine despite the twisted face and the body covered in implants.
“Sleep well...”
Victor carefully lifted a worn-out blanket and covered 329’s body.
As he adjusted the blanket, he could see 329’s chest faintly rising and falling.
329 was alive, but for some reason, a thought crossed Victor’s mind—that he might never wake up again.
It looked like he had been holding out, pushing past the limit this whole time.
Was it called a memory-assist device?
It seemed like an overload had occurred from using it far beyond its intended purpose.
Victor let out a sigh as he stared at 329, who had fallen asleep in an unnaturally distorted position due to the abnormally attached implants.
Then, he exited the narrow cave.
As Victor stepped out of 329’s cave, the black sky and acrid air greeted him.
