Chapter 338. Winter
He planned to pick up the Department Store 9th floor women from Cheongnyangni Station.
He hadn’t yet decided whether to take them all the way to Choguljae or have them join the Ark Annihilation Alliance in Guri. He had intended to ask for their opinions before deciding.
*But how could he ask anyone if no one was there?*
He thoroughly searched the station building and the interior of the Department Store. Only traces of human habitation remained; there was no sign of anyone.
“Still, it doesn’t look like they fled in a hurry or that anything bad happened.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. These are clearly signs that they prepared well before leaving.”
They were currently examining the place where the women had stayed on the 9th floor of the Department Store. Seonyoung pointed to neatly folded bedding and clothes. The place they left was spotless.
“Then I understand it even less. If they weren’t chased out, then why did they leave?”
“The reason… Oppa said he’d come back?”
“Yeah. He told them he’d return and asked them to wait.”
He reread the memo left on the spacious dining table. It was a message someone had left behind, almost like a code.
– Goodbye, everyone~ I’m leaving this world’s entire… anyway, I’m off!
*Even after rereading it, he still didn’t understand. All he could gather was that the handwriting was round and cute.*
“Hehe. Oppa, why are you looking so serious? Don’t you know what that is?”
“Huh? I don’t know.”
“That’s a famous comic book line. They probably just wrote it as a joke.”
