"..Did you guys hear that?"

"Hm? Hear what?"

"Did you hear something dongsaeng?"

"...No it's nothing."

'Strange. I could have sworn I just heard something..'

Having already made it to Oksu station, the four teens are currently waiting for Kim Dokja to get eaten.

Although the barrier made it difficult to know exactly what was going on, they could see a general outline of what was going on on the other side of the glowing wall.

'Plus I'm seeing a lot of notifications from Kim Dokjas' side.'

{'If this man truly is a prophet, all his actions are convincing.'}

{'A prophet will certainly be helpful.'}

'Seems like he's already reading that regressors' thoughts.'

Despite missing most of the conversation between Kim Dokja and the regressor, it wasn't an issue since Cale was quickly able to get the gist of what was happening. It was concerning how close they were to running into that psycho sunfish bastard, but more importantly..

'We need to find Bud and Archie before they do something stupid.'

Knowing those two, they'd be more likely to wipe out a couple high grade monsters than actually be in any real danger.

'Still, it'd be troublesome having to deal with those damn dokkaebi if something goes wrong.'

Keeping that thought in mind, Cale went back to focusing on the issue in front of him.

{[There are 50 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]}

{'Not just the 46th scenario, but later when fighting the 'Zarathustra'. But... can I really believe him?'}

{[There are 40 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]}

{'...If this person finds a way to survive here, then is it possible that... could I protect them this time..?'}

Them? Is he talking about the rest of the group?

'Mm, probably not since he didn't know about Kim Dokja either.'

If that's the case, then who could 'they' be referring to?

{[Excessive immersion has severely worn out your mental strength.]}

{[Exclusive skill, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has been turned off.]}

{[There are 20 seconds left to the end of the scenario.]}

"Looks like it's almost over."

This should be good enough.

Facing the three teens, one look from the young redhead was enough for them to understand.

It was time to go.

Without saying another word to the remaining survivors, the four quietly left the remaining survivors. It didn't matter if they didn't stay to watch Kim Dokja and the regressor anymore. Because right now they had more important things to do.
