Chapter 27: Bait Role

Chapter 27: Bait Role

1.

The next day, Monday, at the D-Mart shelter.

Early in the morning, those who looked out the window caused a commotion.

Eh, what? What is that?

Some kind of barrier has appeared?

Hurry and call Mr. Doha! Isnt this a big deal!?

A dome-shaped barrier appeared, wrapping around D-Mart. It looked as if a glass bowl was placed over the mart.

What was even more fascinating was the scenery inside the barrier.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Sunlight penetrated the barrier, turning into a more intense golden light and shining down, and made the ground inside the barrier glow as if it was blessed.

Wow

It doesnt seem like a bad thing, right?

It was the effect of [Land of Hope], which was activated in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep.

2.

About 30 minutes after dawn, there was no survivor in D-Mart who didnt know about the incident.

People gathered near the main entrance on the first floor, sharing their opinions like a hive of bees.

Can we pass through that barrier?

What if we cant pass through? Are we trapped here?

Lets all try to go through it at least once.

What if zombies attack us when we go out?

First, try throwing something near it.

No, rather than that

The noise was so tumultuous it felt like a bustling street market. The general atmosphere among the people was half fear and half curiosity.

As I made my way through the crowd to the front, all eyes turned to me.

Ah, Mr. Doha is here!

Doha! Do you know what that is?

I took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

Everyone! Calm down!

.

Everyone quieted down. As the representative and leader of the punitive force of D-Mart, I was respected and given the right to speak.

In one hour, at exactly 9 oclock, we will hold a survivors representative meeting. If you have any opinions, please express them there.

I finished speaking and observed the reactions of the people. Everyone nodded without complaint and dispersed into the mart in small groups.

Among them, two individuals stood out.

Firstly, Seo Yuna.

Seo Yuna had always attended the punitive forces activities without fail but never participated in any other gathering or interaction.

She was, simply put, a voluntary introvert.

I had never seen her with anyone else, and her face was always so faint that it never revealed any emotion.

However, now, she was frowning.

Is there something shes unhappy about?

I decided to approach Seo Yuna later on.

And the second person who caught my eye was Baek Jihun.

Baek Jihun was intently staring at his sister, Baek Seona.

And what was Baek Seona doing?

She was quietly watching the people entering the mart, but upon noticing Baek Jihuns gaze, she looked startled and hurried away with an unnatural stride.

Its so awkward.

Wouldnt it be better to just shout, I know something!, Seona

Baek Jihun, who had been staring intently at Baek Seona, now turned his gaze to me. He then walked over and asked.

Hyung. Is there some sort of connection between that curtain and my sister?

I dont know.

I quickly glanced around. No one seemed to be eavesdropping on our conversation.

Baek Jihun smiled as if he had already figured everything out.

No use trying to hide it. Seeing how awkward my sister is acting, how could I, her younger brother, not notice?

I distinctly remember telling them yesterday that the three of us must keep this a secret from everyone else

But it failed in just a day.

3.

I secretly summoned Serena and Baek Seona and gathered them in my room.

I apologize for not informing you earlier. Its actually my ability. A special realm ability, Land of Hope.

What what did you say?

Land of Hope?

Baek Jihun revealed his power at the D-Mart shelters survivors representative meeting, bringing the mornings commotion to a close.

Immediately after, Baek Jihun headed to the center of the first floor and exclaimed, Emerge! As soon as he did, water sprang forth from the ground. Everyone, without a doubt, acknowledged Baek Jihun as the possessor of this ability.

With the emergence of a resource supplier akin to rain during drought, there was no longer a need to worry about water supply.

While everyone hugged and cheered, Baek Seona stood at the back, watching somberly.

Silently, I embraced her.

It was also a result of the decision I made, a burden I had to bear.

5.

I was lying on the bed in my room, lost in thought.

Master.

Serena called out to me.

Are you alright?

As I lifted my head, calm green eyes stared back at me.

It wasnt the ever-bright Serena I was accustomed to. This was a special look she only showed when she was concerned about me.

I smiled and opened my arms.

Come here, Serena.

Serena quietly climbed onto the bed and nestled in my embrace. I gently held her close and embraced her comfort.

The soft touch of golden hair slipping through my fingers, the gentle thud of her heart I could feel from her chest pressed against mine, the warm breath finding its way between her collarbones, and the comforting scent of her that eased my restless heart.

At that moment, Serena was consoling me with her whole being.

Master.

Mm?

A faint whisper came from beneath my chin.

Dont suffer alone. No matter how heavy the burden, I will share it with you.

No matter the thorny path you walk, I will always be by your side. Always with a smiling face. As long as Im with you, Master, it always feels like a path of flowers.

Thank you, Serena.

Hearing her sincere whispers, my heart filled with warmth, an emotion that words could hardly capture.

At the same time, blood rushed to my groin.

Master.

Its not my intention. Its just that Serena is so enticing.

Hehe. Im flattered to hear that.

She gently stroked my groin as she spoke.

You pushed yourself too hard yesterday. Although I also deeply desire to be intimate with you You should rest today.

Mm, I understand

Thats right, good.

With a compassionate touch, Serena stroked me, which only intensified my arousal.

We shouldnt.

I know.

It was time to sleep. Serena got up to turn off the lights, then nestled back into my embrace. As we held each other, waiting to drift off to sleep, Serena suddenly spoke.

Master.

Mm?

Seona and Jihun seem to get along really well, dont they?

Yes, they do.

I wish I had a sister too.

A sister

Serena, who used to be a Real Doll and became human due to my ability, probably wants another Real Doll to be transformed into a human being as her sister.

I was actually planning to look for one soon.

Really?

Yes. Ill be leaving soon for the Real Doll companys warehouse in Paju. I think I might be able to find a sister for you there

Master youre the best.

With the anticipation of a new sister, I could hear Serenas giggly laugh as she hugged my neck, Hehehe.

And with that, sharing each others warmth, we drifted off to sleep.
