Chapter 363: Shadow Cast By The Wind (6)
Set in the Pung Empire, the inside of the gate appeared like a desolate, abandoned city with no people in sight.
Yet, it wasn't entirely devoid of life. There were indeed presences within the Persona Gate.
Though they were not real people but NPCs. They moved according to predetermined stories and fates.
The lively chatter in the market irritated Hong Bi-Yeon, causing her to frown deeply.
It was the expression she wore when she was truly in a foul mood.
Normally, Baek Yu-Seol would tread carefully around her at such times, but today was different.
"Oh... It looks like this place is modeled after the scene from 150 years ago."
"How do you know that?"
As Baek Yu-Seol observed the bustling market, Hong Bi-Yeon also glanced around. While she hadn't visited the Pung Empire often, the clothing styles and architecture seemed outdated compared to the present day.
"See that mask with the nine wheels? It was famously worn by an assassin around two centuries ago. He would kill corrupt aristocrats, steal their wealth, and give it to the poor. I guess to the people of that time, he was a kind of folk hero."
The strange mask with nine wheels painted on it could be seen everywhere, and some people were even wearing them.
