Episode 11. The Five Senses Stolen (5)
“Hruuuh…….”
A snow-white mass, as if struck by a hard frost, groaned in midair.
I couldn’t recognize it at all until I heard the sound.
That thing hanging on the rope was a person.
No, can it even be called a person?
“Please…… help me……”
A woman entangled in white 「Ant String」.
But she was too small.
Only her torso and head maintained the shape of a human; her lower body had unraveled into threads.
It looked like a scarf that had come apart, dangling loosely.
Is that 「Ant String」’s contamination?
“Please save me……”
The woman begging for her life was still young.
And she was already exhausted.
“Mommaaa…….”
When the woman finally sobbed, Kwon Mu-seop spoke in a calm tone.
“I’m sorry. You have already undergone contamination to a degree that makes rescue impossible.”
“What do you mean……”
“However, we can assist you in finding peace. Do you wish that?”
Kwon Mu-seop’s voice was solemn.
For her, that must have been even more despairing.
“I want to live……”
“We plan to stay here for 28 hours. Once we leave, you may have to spend a very long time in that state.”
“No, hhh…!”
“We regret that we cannot rescue you. We will return three more times around nine hours apart. Please make a decision in the meantime.”
