Seoul Object Story

James strutted into the sleek, impeccably organized international airport, fresh off his private jet. The airport staff greeted him with polite nods, and in return, he flashed them a confident smile.

“Hello, Korea! I have returned!”

It was only his second visit, but James felt oddly familiar with the place.

Was it because I grew attached to this place after overcoming the danger that was threatening my life, or was there some residual mental corruption from the ‘Lake Object’?

Walking behind James, there were four fidgety bodyguards. Since he had announced that he would bring another relic with him, which was relic no. 0, the association appointed those 4 to accompany him.

Well, it was a good thing for James.

In order to prevent something like the previous crisis from happening to him again, he had thought he should bring some reliable personnel. But, before he could choose his own personnel, the association gave him some reliable personnel.

As he entered the arrivals hall after passing through the automatic doors, James saw a familiar face.

“Oh! “It’s really nice to see you after such a long time!”

James expressed his happiness by hugging the interpreter who had overcome hardships together with him at the pudding factory.

“Ah yes. Nice to meet you too, James.”

However, the interpreter’s answer seemed to have no energy, as if he was not very pleased to meet James again.

“Hmm? Is there something wrong?”

“There really is no need for an interpreter this time, right?”

The interpreter said with an ashen face.

“Besides, probably because I’m having such scary nightmares, I feel anxious for some reason.”

“Are you worried that an accident might occur again?”

James laughed out loud and patted the interpreter on the back.

“There is no need to worry. I brought a good security team this time around, so there won’t be any major problems.”

When James turned around and looked at the four bodyguards, the bodyguards nodded and greeted the interpreter with emotionless expressions.

The interpreter felt a little reassured by the professional appearance of the security guards who, despite their indifferent expressions, continued to pay attention to their surroundings.

“Well, with them around, there’s no chance we will be caught up in a series of incidents, right? Haha.”

The interpreter guided James and his group with a more relaxed expression.

What James looked at as soon as he arrived in Korea was the current location of the Gray Reaper.

It was only natural since the Gray Reaper was the main purpose of setting up a pudding factory in Korea as well as the reason why he brought Relic number 0 to Korea.

The interpreter called the Sehee Research Institute to get some information before rallying it to James.

“Currently, the Gray Reaper has been transported to ‘Trinity Research Institute.’ I heard it will take a week before it will return to the Sehee Research Institute. What should we do now?”

“I heard that unlike in the U.S, Object research institutes in Korea allow people to view Objects simply by applying for it. Then, let’s go to Trinity Research Institute.”

James’ bulletproof vehicle turned and began heading towards Gwanak-gu, the area where Trinity Research Institute was located.
