So I became SNS friends with Snow White, Baek Seol-hee. This was what happened after.

[Ji-hwan, this is a new movie that just came out. Have you seen it?]

[I wish I could go watch it with you if I have time, but I have some work and I think I can't goㅠㅠ]

[Please be sure to tell me your thoughts after watching it!]

We often shared our thoughts about all sorts of things, such as the latest novels we read, the latest movies we watched, and the latest comics we read.

It was not inconvenient.

It was a good thing to have a friend to share hobbies with in this world where I had no friends.

I was just worried that if this woman later found out about my identity, she might try to kill me after feeling betrayed.

'I should keep up the good rapport, so in case everything goes south, she might take me in.'

That was just in case, but what if everything suddenly collapsed?

Yi Mangmaengyang was not a benevolent organization.

It was an evil organization, not inferior in its pragmatism to the many evil organizations in the real world.

If I built up enough rapport to recruit a one-man army-like officer of such an organization, I could at least maintain my life even if I wasn't able to leave my house and was confined indoors.

Rather than being a government dog, I would become one of Snow White's dwarves.

It was a pitiful thought, but it was not so bad.

If it was for survival, I could do anything.

It was the same now.

"There will be a brief inspection."

As soon as I crossed the bridge on a bike, the soldiers in front stopped me.

"What is your purpose for entering the island?"

"I passed the civil service exam this time, and I'm going to work. Here's the certificate."

"Have you received permission for the bike?"

"Yes. Here is the vehicle registration and permit."

I presented the soldier with the ID and certificate I had prepared in advance.

"Hmm... Lieutenant. Everything seems to be in order."

"Cross-verification. ...No issues."

A Lieutenant and a Major.

These ranks would never be intimidated by anything. They were fully armed and conducted the inspection properly.

Ordinary soldiers would be on watch at other posts or on perimeter duty, and high-ranking individuals like Lieutenants or Majors were conducting the face-to-face inspections?

This was proof of the challenging process of entering Sejong Island.

"We'll need to inspect your bike's storage compartment for a moment. We appreciate your cooperation."

"Of course."

I stood away from my bike.

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Even if you are an Academy staff, this is the standard procedure and law for first-time entrants to go through this kind of search."

"Of course."

The items that could be brought onto the island are extremely limited by law.

I also planned to buy basic necessities on the island; the only thing I was bringing was a suit.
