Chapter 153 Her and the Girl (2)

Chi-Woo ran All he focused on while carrying the girl was running He didn’t knohere he was going or even where he was

‘So that he had been going in circles, but he just kept running tohere the girl pointed hi was the fact that notheir way Since he kept evading their attacks, it see after hione, but Chi-Woo placed all worries and fears behind hih the city was in ruins now because of the war, they soon arrived at a place that used to be the don area There, the girl raised her index finger Chi-Woo looked over, and his eyes widened There was a sizable building built out of faded whitesteeples stood on each of its corners like a lighthouse and were connected by walls to form a square shape On top, there lay a dome in the shape of an onion, and beloas an arched entrance Surprisingly, the exterior of the building was intact It showed signs of weathering, but no effects of the war There were two possibilities: it was left untouched for some unknowable reason, or it had been protected

It was a curious matter, but Chi-Woo quickly went up the stairs as he was in a hurry No, he tried to cliasped when he found no purchase

“Huh?” He was sure he was stepping on the stairs, but his feet passed right through the step and landed on the ground instead He tried irl pointed with her index finger in frustration again She pointed left, then right, right again, and then left Chi-Woo stared down at the girl blankly

—She’s telling you to step on the stairs in order

Chi-Woo heard Philip holding in his laughter

‘What?’

—Come on, look around you

Chi-Woo scanned his surroundings in a daze Nothing particularly seeht about it, the city was quiet and way too still The loud commotion outside, the merciless bloodlust, the snipers, and his pursuers—they were all gone like they had been wiped out

—Why are you even surprised?

Philip snickered

—It’s not your first tih spaces Recall the time you saved this kid

Chi-Woo remembered the space warp he saw on the rooftop of the Academy ‘Then, like that time on the rooftop…!’

—The sexy witch dealt with everything that tih a space warp

‘What? sexy witch?’

—Cos

‘Stop your nonsense Call her Lady Evelyn or Ms Onorable’

—You are hilarious, ravated?

‘I’ you to be careful in the way you speak

—Ah, I got it! I got it!

Although there was a short period of confusion, Chi-Woo understood the general situation now He had stepped through a spatial boundary and entered another space Entering another space was fara barrier, since it involved exploiting the inherent gaps between the barriers inside a world—or at least that hat Evelyn had told hi as they didn’t have a person with skills comparable to the Abyss’ witch, they were safe for the ti Thus, Chi-Woo readied hiirl had pointed hian to climb up one step at a time

He soon reached the top and stood in front of the arching entrance The htly shut, and at their center, there was a syirl in Chi-Woo’s aran to squirm Before Chi-Woo could carefully let her down, she hopped off and ran toward the entrance Without even slowing down to open the door, she ran right at it

‘Isn’t she going to collide with the door—’ Chi-Woo hurriedly chased after her before he stopped

“Ahnu!” At that single word, the doors slid open like an automatic door

Meanwhile, the detach toward the center of the city They were able to move so quickly and approach the inner part of the city thanks to all the attention Chi-Woo had draard hione after Chi-Woo, and the closer they got to the heart of the city, the closer they were to the Dehter

Fulfilling his expectations, Ru Aain and quickly found a hiding spot, plastering hi’s wall

“I think we’re al around “But hoe find the eighth recruits?”

“…”

“Hey captain! Why…” Hoda and closed his mouth when he saw Ru A

“What is it? What happened?”

“Wait Give me a moment I need to think…” Ru Amuh muttered

Like all abilities, one couldn’t become too dependent on it and needed to knohen to use it This rule applied to even rare abilities like synesthesia Thus, Ru Amuh didn’t just trust it blindly His synesthesia told hi spot where the snipers’ vision didn’t reach; there was no doubt about that But for so that was difficult for hi was off He had suddenly felt a wave of killing intent after running into no threats for a good while, and a hiding place just happened to be near? That was too much of a coincidence… It felt like they had been purposefully led here Why? There was only one possibility: to sweep theht for strike his ears It was already too late when he realized it
