Dok-ja saw the notification quickly and so did the others after they passed through a black barrier to enter the cinema.

'Just don't be dead already,' Dok-ja thought as he walked up the stairs wanting to make his way to the top floor, It is most likely that Jung-hyuk is up there fighting the Cinema Master.

He knew he didn't need to worry about anything at the station since Haru was there.

Back at the station,

Haru was keeping an eye on the monsters while Queresha was sitting beside him. Jin-ah and Alea were also nearby with Sang-ah as Hee-won was still asleep. She seemed to be having a nice sleep considering the drool.

"Haru-ssi, it has been more than three hours since Dok-ja-ssi and the others went to find Jung-hyuk-ssi," Sang-ah was worried about their safety since there has been no word from them yet.

"All of us can't leave because of the situation here, normally I'd say we should trust them but I am also a little worried," Haru said still keeping his eyes on the monsters.

'It would be quite pitiful if they die like this,' Haru was thinking deeply while tapping his thigh.

"I'll be back in a minute," Queresha said as she stood up and walked away from the group.

"Haru-ssi, Where is Queresha-ssi going?" Sang-ah asked as she saw Queresha climbing the escalator to the first basement floor.

The toilets were on the floor they were currently at, and there was no one on the first floor, so what would Queresha do there?

"She is going to see if Dok-ja and the others are safe or not," Haru said without turning back, just like how Queresha understood what Haru wanted, He also knew why she went ahead.

They always had this tacit understanding between them. And it was something that no one else understood, not even Hae-in and the others.

"But wouldn't that be dangerous?" Sang-ah was shocked at the revelation. Isn't this going to put her in danger?

"Don't worry, She can handle it," Haru looked back at Sang-ah reassuring her with a smile.

"...I see," Sang-ah seemed to have realized that Queresha wasn't really weak, she was probably the strongest after Haru and Jung-hyuk.

Sang-ah got all worried for no reason at all, so it was a little embarrassing for her. But Haru smiled seeing this, it seemed like what they have been doing has started to bear fruit.

Queresha was also thinking the same while walking up the stairs to the Dae-Han cinema, but her thoughts were a little different.

'It is still not enough, they won't be of any help at this rate,' Queresha silently went into the cinema climbing up the stairs to the second floor.

She wasn't satisfied with the growth shown by others in the group and she was even more disappointed with the people in the station.

But she had decided to take matters into her own hands as Haru was about to focus on a different front starting now.

'All of the posters here have been ripped,' Queresha looked at the movie posters.

Currently, she was on the 4th floor and she didn't see a single monster till now. She couldn't help but wonder what type of dungeon this was.

There was no blood on the floor nor were the hallways messy, there were no clues suggesting any sign of battles or struggle here.

[You have entered the reward room.]

[You are limited to two items per incarnation.]

Queresha reached the fifth floor and was greeted with a shiny display of weapons clothes or accessories that were placed inside glass boxes.

'So the props here have been turned into artifacts because of the mana? This is certainly interesting,' Queresha had been in their theatre before and this room was just a props display room where the replicas of the weapons that were used in the movies were kept.

But now all of them were turned into real artifacts after the scenario started. There was another key detail that she noted about these weapons as she looked at the Military knife that was in a display box. This one was the same as Nam-woon had but his one was normal and this one was an artifact.

They weren't that great but this information was worth more than anything as it would help her confirm the theory she and Haru came up with about the artifacts Dok-ja brought back from Dong-guk University.

'I should let others know about it, but after I do what I came here for, This is certainly going to be helpful,' Queresha picked up two items from the room before going up to the sixth floor.

For the first time she saw someone in the corridor and it was a familiar face.

"Eh? Queresha Unnie why are you here?" It was Ji-hye she was leaning against the wall below a ripped poster and her complexion didn't look the best currently.

"I came to see what was taking all of you so long," Queresha spoke in her flat tone observing Ji-hye.

"...Don't talk about that, It was such a pain to clear this dungeon," Ji-hye sighed heavily as she stood up.

"Everyone just went up earlier, we can easily catch up to them," Ji-hye grinned as she pointed at the stairs that were just a little distance away.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened, Is what I'd like to say," Queresha cut right to the chase as Ji-hye's face froze.

"Did Unnie ...Saw it as well?" Ji-hye asked looking away, she wasn't like her usual animated self.

"Yes, we were shown that during the first scenario," Queresha was talking about the clip of Ji-hye that was shown in the first scenario where she killed someone to pass it.

"She was my friend," Ji-hye answered there was no point in hiding in, Dok-ja knew of it, so it made sense that Queresha also had an idea about it.

Queresha didn't fully deduce this, she saw that Ji-hye killed someone in the first scenario and her friends were most likely dead as well, since she was the sole survivor of her class and the fact that she was alone on this station with only Jung-hyuk.

From the way Ji-hye looked at the time she was hearing the story from Jin-ah and Alea, she wanted to brag about it to someone. And a 17-year-old girl like her could only brag about knowing of famous delinquent battles to her friends.

'But the one she killed was her own friend,' Queresha thought as it was good to act like she knew it for certain so that Ji-hye would tell the real truth herself, if she pretends as if she knows of it.

"It is alright, I understand what you are going through, so if you ever feel like it is too much to bear on your own, you can come to me, you call me unnie so I have to act like it, Understand?" Queresha said patting Ji-hye's head slowly.

"O-Okay Unnie," Ji-hye was shocked to receive such motherly affection from Queresha, the small smile on her face also showed that she actually cared for her.

And, To Ji-hye it didn't look like Queresha was lying when she said she understood her situation. She didn't ask it since she also knew how hard it is to talk about such a topic.

"Unnie if you need someone to lean on you can count on me," Ji-hye said as Queresha nodded.

"I'll keep it in mind," Queresha said as Ji-hye smiled happily.

'That spot is already taken and I don't think it will ever be empty,' Queresha kept the words to herself, and the two went to the terrace of the cinema as a blue panel appeared in front of them.

[The Constellation 'Naval God of Warfare' is thanking the Incarnation 'Queresha Calistria']

[500 coins have been sponsored.]

Queresha looked at the message for a few seconds before looking up as they stepped on the now powered-off escalator.

[You have entered 8F 'The Sky Garden']

The eighth floor of the theatre was a rooftop. It was a small dome reminiscent of an opera house. As soon as they stepped onto the green grass of the rooftop, Ji-Hye could see the situation wasn't good or it can be said that it was worse.

"W-What happened here?" Ji-hye was shocked as soon as she saw the scene in front of their eyes.

"Hey, Hey, get up," Ji-hye tried to wake up Hyun-sung who was lodged into the wall near the entrance. He was unconscious currently with blood dripping down his mouth.
