Yerin POV:

Reaper was excitedly flapping its feet wildly.

Reaper's gaze was fixed on the sky.

Reaper's arms were reaching out into the air as if trying to grab something.

Tyrannosaurus!

Reaper and I were standing in front of a huge dinosaur.

I thought Reaper wouldn't really like stuff like this, but it enjoyed it more than expected.

Objects revived as dinosaurs were found quite often.

However, there weren't that many currently living specimens.

Due to lifespan issues and cases of them being killed off.

Who knew Reaper liked dinosaurs? Next time should I take it to the 'Mars Research Institute' that has isolated many dinosaurs?

It would be nice if I could get permission to take Reaper out to the Mars Research Institute.

Reaper (MC) POV:

Hmm.

I can't help but be fascinated by dinosaurs.

Anyone, regardless of age or gender, likes them, right?

Yerin's expression looking at me seems a bit ruder...

We enjoyed the tour so much that lunchtime had passed by a long while ago.

I'm fine without eating anything, but it must be tough for Yerin.

As I looked around for a place to eat, I saw a Research Institute booth.

It was set up like a performance venue you'd occasionally see at a zoo, but although a bit pricey, they had plenty of food prepared.

We sat down and ate things like hot dogs while watching the performance prepared by the Research Institute.

Since it was an Object Research Institute, instead of dolphins, a yeti performed.

A yeti jumping through a ring of fire.

A yeti on a large swing.

A Yeti that gets stung by electricity while making a fuss.

A yeti riding a large ball.

A yeti falling off a unicycle and getting electrocuted.

A yeti fired from a cannon towards a target.

There were some strange things in between, but it was quite fun.

It was closer to a circus than a zoo, but since it was enjoyable, I had no complaints.

After finishing the meal and performance, we resumed our tour and there were still many amazing Objects.

At the Sejong Research Institute booth, they were exhibiting just one Object.

<Unbreakable Cube>

<It renders surrounding objects physically indestructible>

<No side effects have been reported.>

'Wow, a physics immunity granting Object!'

I must still have some human emotions left as I couldn't help but be amazed by this Object.

Just briefly thinking about it, the potential uses seemed endless.

An Object this good should obviously be famous, but I had never seen it before.

So I checked and found it was a newly discovered Object from just a month ago.

Wow, brand new!

I also noticed the isolation facility made by the government hosting this exhibition.

As expected of the organizers, the facilities were magnificent and extensive, but one Object there looked extremely dangerous.

<Unstealable Thief.>

It had arms, legs, and an indistinct face like a person.

It was just sitting blankly in the center of the isolation room, making me wonder how this was supposed to be a thief.

<If not kept within sight for more than 10 seconds, it disappears.>

<Upon disappearing, it reappears in front of the nearest locked lock or door.>

My vision went dark, and sounds faded away.

Someone gently caught my falling head.

The last thing I felt was Reaper's soft, fluffy touch on my cheek before my memory cut off.

Reaper (MC) POV:

A ripple burst out from the golden tree.

It was a ripple that put people to sleep.

Checking Yerin's condition, who had collapsed headfirst, she seemed perfectly healthy.

She had simply fallen into an unexplained slumber.

No matter how much I poked her cheek with my palm, there were no signs of her waking up.

The situation was serious.

Like the zoo, this exhibition could not avoid the jinx either.

I needed to return to the Sehee Research Institute booth, but I didn't have the strength to carry Yerin.

If I left Yerin here, she would obviously die.

But if I stayed near Yerin, the Sehee Research Institute employees would die instead.

The exhibition hall where everyone had fallen asleep was already showing signs of disturbance.

Tung.

With a heavy thud, the darkness thickly filled the exhibition hall that had been brightly lit.

The cheerful music playing from the speakers also cut off.

The only sounds were the growls of biological Objects.

Electricity had disappeared from the exhibition hall.

Had the Magnetic-Sphere broken out of isolation?

Objects continued to escape.

The beginning was a herd of yetis with blood smeared around their mouths.

The yetis, who had held a festival with the blood of the keepers who had sustained them with electricity, poured out onto the streets and searched for new prey.

From far away, the loud roar of a Tyrannosaurus could be heard.

What kind of crazy person opened the isolation room doors?

The hungry yetis were slowly approaching where Yerin was, trying to satisfy their hunger.

I shattered the pathetic yetis' heads that were targeting Yerin.

Without any physical immunity or regenerative abilities, the yetis finally noticed me and scampered away.

If I had two bodies, I wouldn't have to worry about this...

Should I have learned the clone technique beforehand?

Speaking of clones, one ability came to mind.

Mini Golden Reapers.

Although I can't control them as I wish, I created the Golden Reapers with a do-or-die mindset.

One.

Two.

...

I created enough Golden Reapers to fill the area around me.

The doll-like figures that looked just like me simultaneously raised their heads and glanced around.

The mini Reapers looked at me, and one of them hopped over and clung to me.

Just one?

Last time, they all clung to me and the cat.

Then another one clung to Yerin's sleeping cheek.

After that, the Golden Reapers didn't take any special actions.

As expected, this ability isn't helpful in such situations?

After glancing around for a few seconds, the Golden Reapers began to scatter in all directions, like dispersing sparrows.

It was as if a golden wave of Reapers began spreading out.

And the scattered Reapers clung to people, one per person.

One Reaper per person.

1 person 1 Reaper.

They clung to the people who had collapsed in the exhibition hall.
