79 Figurine Containing a God

Ian and Kim Iseo boarded the elevator.

It was fairly spacious. The elevator's interior was large enough to transport patients.

She didn't just press the button for the basement. Like the ghost story about an “elevator to another world,” she operated a great many buttons at once.

It probably wasn't actually using the ghost story. Unlike the Vatican, which rejects and exterminates mysteries, the Management Bureau focused on research and exploitation, but even so, it wouldn't leave a ghost story roaming around inside the building.

Of course. An elevator to another world? If something really went wrong, who knew what might burst out from inside—who would dare use it carelessly?

Mysteries were basically malicious toward humans, and if their categories were similar, they often appeared together. Even the library Ian had visited had other eyeball-like monsters lurking outside besides the library anomaly, hadn't it?

If the conditions were right and a passage existed, they wouldn't hesitate to cross into reality. The moment an elevator opened as a definite entrance, that place would instantly turn into chaos.

If the passengers themselves were the ones crossing over, that'd be one thing, but mysteries weren't that kind.

It was always right to assume the worst.
