Chapter 3: Abandoned Hospital
The abandoned hospital was reflected in her pale violet eyes.
To the girl, it didn’t look ominous so much as dirty.
In fact, the park in front of her apartment was eerier than that place, and even more so was the place where the black stone-bound Death Knight Aslan resided.
Contrary to her personal impressions, the chat window was a mess, filled with over-the-top reactions and self-proclaimed experts. Several people had apparently crossed the line and, like the girl, lost the ability to type messages.

“...Is this kind of thing supposed to be scary?”

“...I guess that’s what it looks like to your eyes, huh?”

Hyesung’s nervous voice, which contrasted with his previously goofy tone, leaked from the phone. His face wasn’t on screen, but somehow, it felt like he was trembling.
“Why’s he so freaked out?”
