章節 144: Slipping Away 2

Ye Rim also wondered why she was more disgusted than afraid of that grotesque thing and whose face vaguely resembled Yuna. It was like a cockroach. Something hateful, but you couldn't really be afraid. Ye Rim knew that the creature could not attack her or do any kind of harm. She thought about speaking the words louder and more clearly, and maybe even going up to the sink to get closer to the creature. Shouldn't the Sun Serpent Prayer work?

However, the door behind her suddenly opened, hitting her in the back. It threw Ye Rim forward, and the woman who had opened the door apologized, embarrassed and distressed. Ye Rim still felt the painful impact on her lower back, when the creature took the moment to escape like a gecko. The thing ran across the wall and ran through the top of the open door in that liquid, terrifying way that she had seen once.

The human, of course, saw nothing, and still apologized effusively, asking if she had hurt Ye Rim.
