"Mr. Suren, I... do I really have to keep my eyes covered? I can't see anything."
"Yes, because they're already here."
Suren did not explain how he knew someone had arrived, and Rena did not ask any further questions.
Although they had not known each other for long, Rena had developed an almost blind trust in this stranger her aunt had introduced to her.
She knew the killer was powerful, and she knew this underground chamber was filled with danger, yet from beginning to end, she had never seen the slightest trace of panic on this man. He was always calm and composed. Because of this composure, even Rena felt influenced by him, gaining the courage to face even death with serenity.
At that moment, Suren was leading her by the hand, and her head was covered by a thick blindfold. She had no idea where they were going.
Being blindfolded naturally meant completely giving up on fighting.
It was not that Rena lacked combat ability. On the contrary, her fundamentals were quite solid. Whether it was hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, or alchemy, she far surpassed an ordinary Tier 1 Professional.
However, in this desperate situation, whether against a Mutated Monster or a killer, Rena's combat strength was simply not enough.
Instead, focusing on being "bait" gave her a better chance of staying alive.
After being blindfolded, she did not notice the pairs of scarlet eyes lighting up in the darkness around her, nor did she see the almost deranged grin spreading across Suren's face.
In this dangerous situation, Suren once again felt that adrenaline-fueled sensation. "He" also loved this feeling of walking on a tightrope.
Run away?
Tsk, tsk.
No. He wanted to kill the people, take the Sealed Item, and kill the monsters too!
Wasn't he short of high-quality
