Chapter 128: Watching From the Gaps
"Wait a moment. I need a more detailed explanation. What do you mean by the soul being dragged away..."
Jung Bin glanced nervously at Yoon Ga-eul, lying on the operating table. Nam Woo-jin, poking at the orb of light with his finger, replied indifferently.
"Literally, the body here is just an empty shell."
"But..."
Jung Bin, who trailed off, stared at Yoon Ga-eul's chest, which slightly rose and fell. He then stepped closer to the operating table and cautiously checked the wrist that bore a red mark. There was a pulse. She was alive. According to Nam Woo-jin's words, yes, even without a soul.
"If that's the case... how is this body being maintained? I mean, how is it continuing its life functions? It's breathing on its own without being attached to an oxygen respirator."
"That's beyond my understanding. It's the first time a soul has been entirely pulled into that realm. We'll have to research it from now on."
"..."
"Don't look at me like that. I'm just someone who barely managed to observe a tiny fragment..."
Nam Woo-jin tapped his temple with his index finger. Jung Bin sighed.
"Yes, that's true."
"Well, I have a guess... it's over there."
