BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 Found Jacob
Learning what Sonya said, Asqa felt a bit of annoyance rising by itself in her heart. Asqa wanted to immediately refute Sonya's words and say that what she said was not true.
However, Asqa immediately realized that what Sonya said actually made sense.
She also felt it when she saw Clyde turning his back on them after finishing his breakfast earlier.
She had opened her mouth a little and wanted to throw a rebuttal to Sonya. But Asqa immediately closed her mouth again.
"You do realize that, right?" Sonya asked, looking at Asqa.
"I think..." Asqa said. "I think he has his reasons."
"Yeah, I hope that reason is because he doesn't want to see us get hurt," Sonya replied. "But I don't fully believe that."
Asqa was silent and stared blankly ahead. She ignored her returning hunger.
While Sonya was beside her and stared at Asqa's face which seemed to be daydreaming. She was clearly thinking about what she had
just said.
'She looks like an innocent girl who doesn't know anything,' Sonya thought, looking at Asqa. 'Ah, damnit. I thought it wouldn't be this complicated.'
They had only been together for three days. Yet Sonya already feels a kind of bond with Asqa.
Asqa looks like a little sister that she has to protect.
That's how Sonya feels about her. Even though Sonya already knows that in a world like this, she can't develop a bond like that with anyone.
She was supposed to be with them only for the sake of her own survival.
That's what Sonya thought from the beginning she saw Clyde and Asqa on the subway that time. She just wanted to take advantage of them.
But it seems everything is different now.
'Ahh, whatever.'
Sonya tossed her empty bag of potato chips and sank down on the bed. Decided not to think about it any further because it would only torment her.
'I'd better sleep.'
Sonya returned to her habits. Namely sleeping when her mind is full of complicated things that she can't find the solution to.
Asqa only glanced at Sonya but didn't say anything.
Inside her head, Asqa was praying that what Sonya was saying - and what was now starting to make sense to her - would not come true.
If that happened, how would she survive in this chaotic world in the future?

On the other hand, Clyde is fighting to kill Wendigos in that abandoned building.
Now he has arrived at the fourth floor.
Clyde stopped counting how many Wendigos he had killed.
But he remembered getting the Level up notification two more times. So now he is at Level 67.
Clyde took a deep breath after he finally finished off all the Wendigos on this floor.
He looked up and the room's light illuminated his face which was decorated with Wendigo's pale red blood.
The sound of his stomach sounding very loud was heard again.
Clyde took a cheeseburger from his Inventory then sat down on a chair and placed the Elderglass Sword on his lap.
'I haven't found it yet.'
Clyde complained while starting to chew his cheeseburger. He glanced at the clock which coincidentally still worked.
It's now 7.41 am. Actually, it was still very early in the morning.
But once again, Clyde can't help but feel anxious because he doesn't know when he will actually find the Wendigo with the green, blue, and red colors.
As for the Personal Request from Agatha, Clyde is sure he can kill 1,000 Wendigo before this Chapter ends.
Now he had even killed a total of 230 Wendigos since receiving that Personal Request.
Clyde finished his cheeseburger in no time. Then he took a drink from the dispenser with a full gallon on the floor.
This building is small. So one floor is only filled by one room which is like an office. It makes things easier for Clyde's search.
He climbed the stairs leading to the fifth floor which was most likely the last floor.
Unexpectedly, at that place he found a Wendigo figure sitting on a chair.
Its body seemed bigger and more muscular than the Wendigo that Clyde had previously met.
The Wendigo looks like a muscular human with a bald head and yellow eyes.
The thing that made everything even more shocking was that it has dark green skin.
"Hey," the Wendigo said in the voice of a normal grown man.
The way it looked at Clyde who had just come up from the stairs was also very sane, unlike the other Wendigos who only stared with their yellow eyes that reflected hunger.
Clyde, of course, did not answer the green-skinned Wendigo's greeting. He was busy observing with a frown of astonishment.
"Can you help me?" the green Wendigo asked. "I felt very hungry this morning. And I don't remember what happened. As soon as I woke up, I saw my body had become like this."
Clyde was really confused. He couldn't even reply to the words of the green Wendigo.
'What the actual fuck?' Clyde thought in shock.
"Did you hear me?" the green Wendigo asked again.
Clyde took a deep breath. Trying to calm down as much as possible from the shock. 'Calm down, Clyde. You've found your target.'
"Didn't you hear anything from downstairs?" Clyde was finally able to ask the green Wendigo again.
"I... I don't know," it said.
Although the green Wendigo looks sane, it doesn't look quite right.
It looks confused. There may still be some humanity left in its brain, but it's still turned into a Wendigo.
Clyde, who had woken up from his shock, realized that there were pieces of Wendigo's body around the green Wendigo. And the number of body parts was quite a lot.
Clyde stared at the green Wendigo. He wondered how the green Wendigo could still speak and act - almost - like a human.
"You really don't remember anything?" Clyde asked.
The Green Wendigo shook his head. "No."
"You uhh... Have a name?"
"Jacob."
Surprisingly, the green Wendigo said its name.
