Chapter 219
The corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably, but no matter how hard he tried, Uijae couldn't suppress the smirk creeping across his face.
"That was... some pretty good acting, wasn't it?"
His acting skills had definitely improved compared to before. Uijae straightened his back, which had been hunched as part of his performance, and rubbed his chin. A warm sense of pride began to well up inside him. Maybe, just maybe, he could really make his acting debut, like Yang Hyejin had suggested.

"......."
The air was filled with the odd mixture of antiseptic, blood, and dust. Uijae closed his eyes. The murmurs around him faded, and for some strange reason, he felt calm. It was as if, after a long journey, he had finally returned to the place he truly belonged.

‘Modified Hunters or experimental subjects, maybe?’
