I Don't Want This Reincarnation [2]

277

Cheon Sa-yeon's back leaving the mansion was engulfed in pitch-black darkness.

After such a long time, a new scene began to unfold. The white hallway, the faint smell of drugs, countless people in white coats, and...

"Cheon Sa-yeon?"

Through the large glass, I could see Cheon Sa-yeon, whose body was tied up.

His eyes were covered, his mouth was gagged, and his wrists and ankles were fastened with heavy iron shackles.

"What the hell is this..."

Just looking at him took my breath away. In the white room beyond the glass, Cheon Sa-yeon was sitting alone, tied to the chair. Others would watch him outside the glass or write something down.

It was only when I looked at the nameplate of a researcher passing by with his head bowed, that I knew that this was the former guild management headquarters.

「I don't understand. Why is it underground?」

「Dangerous person is underground for safety...」

「A dangerous person? Is that how Korea divides talented people?」

A familiar voice came from across the hallway. It was obviously Chloe who was walking here with the researchers.

How many years ago was this? Chloe, who I met again in Cheon Sa-yeon's memory, had a slightly different hairstyle and a more cynical tone when she spoke.

Chloe, who turned her gaze away from the researcher who was chasing right next to her, and found Cheon Sa-yeon tied behind the glass, increased her walking speed with a startled expression.

「Wait. Why are you doing this now?」

「Ye, yes? Is there any problem...?」

「Are you asking because you don't know that now?」

Chloe approached right in front of the glass and slowly examined Cheon Sa-yeon's condition.

「Why did you tie him up like that? Since when?」

The man in charge opened his mouth with an awkward smile as if he had difficulty understanding the question.

「Of course... because he's dangerous, that's why we did it. Currently, the building has over 300 employees. The duration is short. About a week...」

「A week?」

Chloe's eyes were filled with displeasure as she looked around the director and the researchers.

「According to what I heard, that person with that ability is said to be a survivor of the gate explosion. A survivor who barely survived from the death. Isn't it?」

「That, that's right.」

「He is a talented person who doesn't attack or harm anyone and doesn't run wild. even underage. Is this how the Korean management headquarters treat minors?」

「No, it's not that. There seems to be a misunderstanding.」

The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead and made an excuse in a hurry.

「As Athena Deputy Master knows, this person is the first SS-rank talented person in Korea. So there's a lot of things to check...」

「So what?」

「But that... the staff wouldn't even want to come near this place if we didn't do that, so I had no choice but to do it. He is the first SS-rank in Korea, and in particular, his ability...」
