Chapter 121: Short
Jung Bin examined the boy's face. Beneath the fierce expression, there was a hint of wariness.
'It seems like calming his wariness should come first.'
He would have to stay with the boy until his powers stabilized. The faster they built trust, the better. Jung Bin calmly pulled out a laptop from his inventory and spoke.
"Let me first explain the situation. I'm Hunter Jung Bin from the Awakened Management Bureau. I heard there was a facility where people were being kidnapped for experiments, and I went there. You were the only survivor, so I rescued you and brought you here."
"..."
"I have many things to tell you and many questions to ask, but..."
Jung Bin cautiously asked.
"First, let me ask you one thing. Did you happen to see a white, square window?"
The boy, who had been silent, slowly nodded. Seeing the system window meant that the boy had been chosen by the system, meaning he was an Awakener. It was as Jung Bin had expected.
"You've awakened. Do you remember when you first saw it?"
"...Not long ago."
It was a vague answer. Jung Bin tapped on his laptop and made eye contact with the boy. The wariness still hadn't disappeared.
