Chapter 110:
In the ancient kingdom, within the palace of Sanctum, Ban Yu-won sat with his companions in a room guided by a knight, drinking tea. There was no poison in it. If a cultist had infiltrated the palace and they had to repeat the farce from Room 24, it would have meant war with the tower, not just the cultists. He would have ridden Lilith to the top of the tower, occupied it, and staged a sit-in.
“I was worried we might have to go all the way to Room 30, but thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“If you hadn’t stepped forward, we might have ended up in Room 30.”
Naturally, the structure of the rooms that appeared in sequence was heavily influenced by the activities in the previous rooms. The fact that the atmosphere among people was subdued in Room 24, due to the rumor of two constellations materializing in Room 23, was a clear example.
Ban Yu-won had caused a stir in every room he was allowed, and the scale of events expanded with each transition. If he hadn’t done so, he might still have been playing a game of wits with cultists hiding their identities in the big city.
“Don’t lie, Ban. Nearly 60% of the guys you took down weren’t even cultists.”
“Light, look into my eyes.”
“Ah, ugh?”
Ban Yu-won’s endlessly serious eyes met Light’s.
