I Became the Cute One in the Troubleshooter Squad

To be honest, it was an overwhelmingly disorienting feeling.

Just moments ago, I was still with Raven inside that dark laboratory.

But when I came to, I was being held in the arms of a stranger.

I lifted my gaze—and saw the side profile of a woman running forward, panting for breath.

It was so abrupt and jarring, it felt like someone had sliced the middle of my memory with scissors.

And yet, despite the chaos, maybe because my mind was oddly clear and focused,

I was able to calm my emotions quickly and vaguely grasp what was happening.

‘Is this... someone else’s memory? Because of the Invader shard?’

There was only one reason I could reach that conclusion.

The moment the box opened, a wave of power had poured out. My consciousness blurred—then this.

Tracing it back, it could only be that shard of Invader stored inside the box.

Which meant I couldn’t just sit here blinking like an idiot.
