Chapter 123: Trinity Research Institute: 3rd Division – Epilogue (2)
Inside the Sehee Research Institute, long safety lines were placed to guide visitors.
“Sehee unnie, are you sure it’s okay to open the containment room to visitors?” I asked.
I mean, it’s the Gray Reaper we’re talking about!
“We have no choice,” Sehee unnie replied, her expression totally unbothered. “There were just too many people requesting to see the Gray Reaper. Since we got permission from the association, as long as no accidents happen, it’ll be fine.”
She said it so calmly, but I wasn’t convinced. Actually, I really didn’t want Reaper’s containment room opened to the public at all.
Like, what if they took away my playtime with Reaper? Not fair! And besides, what if people saw me playing with it? They’d think I was some weird researcher or something…
At 10 a.m. sharp, a bunch of people wearing visitor IDs started gathering along the safety line. So many of them, it was like a parade!
Kim Jungrwi sunbae was the one leading them, looking all serious and professional.
Maybe it was because this was the first time Reaper’s containment room was open to the public, but wow, the crowd was huge! Everyone wanted to see the Gray Reaper up close.
Probably sensing the crowd, Reaper’s antenna tilted slightly toward the magic mirror, like it was curious or something.
It swayed from side to side, almost like it was dancing!
And oh my gosh, the Golden Reapers weren’t about to be outdone—they swarmed toward the magic mirror, jumping around and causing such a fuss. It was adorable!
“Waaah!”
The visitors all gasped in delight, which was totally expected. I mean, how could they not when the Reapers were being that cute?
Unlike before, people actually seemed to like the Gray Reaper now. Everyone was peering into the containment room with these soft, warm eyes, like they were looking at a cute little puppy or something.
So much noise filled the hallway, either from people gushing over how the Gray Reaper was watching TV, or because they were squealing over how precious the Golden Reapers were.
The whole atmosphere was just so calm and fun.
What a relief… It didn’t look like there was going to be any accident today!
