Chapter 292: Doll Expo (10)
In a Seoul apartment complex, the master bedroom of a comfy 3-person family apartment was pitch black.
Lights off, thick blackout curtains blocking even a speck of light.
Looked like someone had dragged a bed to block the entrance, cutting off the outside world.
Boom!
A powerful shockwave rolled in from far across the river.
Crumble.
The shaking apartment sounded like a bombed building in a movie, with bits of stone falling.
“Mom…”
A terrified kid’s voice echoed in the dark room.
“It’s okay. We’ll be fine.”
The mom hugged the kid, patting their back, but looked super anxious.
If the thick darkness hadn’t hidden her face, the kid would’ve been even more scared.
The Association Dolls that were supposed to be so safe going berserk, and intense shockwaves starting just minutes ago.
While mom trembled from all the chaos, dad was peering through the blackout curtains with binoculars.
“It’s done.”
Dad’s low voice echoed in the room.
He gasped because the dolls that filled the streets had vanished without a trace.
Actually, the situation outside looked hopeless, but things started slowly changing with shockwaves from across the river.
It started with a huge increase in Black Reapers.
Giant Black Reapers had gobbled up tons of dolls early in the doll crisis, then stopped moving.
They just sat there with bulging bellies full of dolls.
But at some point, the frozen Black Reapers stood up and marched quickly towards southern Seoul.
When they came back, their bellies were flat, and they started swallowing dolls again.
As Black Reapers rapidly reduced the dolls, other mini Reapers got busy.
Golden Reapers, who seemed too few to handle all the dolls, started searching every nook and cranny, and other mini Reapers poked their heads out too.
Of course mini Reapers are the best companion Objects. Association Dolls always felt off.
Dad started praising mini Reapers, forgetting how his living room got taken over by the doll he bought.
At this rate, the doll rampage will be over soon!
As dad was enjoying the mini Reapers’ action, a huge Golden Reaper face filled his view.
Hehe.
The Golden Reaper wore a slightly mischievous smile.
!!!
Dad jumped back from the binoculars, and there was a Golden Reaper dangling from the end.
Warm sun scent filling the room.
Soft golden light spreading.
Maybe because the room was so dark, the Golden Reaper’s warmth filled the whole space.
That cozy warmth felt like the doll rampage wrecking Seoul would be over soon.
