~707's POV~

The moment I saw the reply, I knew something was definitely wrong. She should have said "Hello..." instead, but her answer this time was completely different.

I kept staring at the chat. No one else seemed to realize that her reply was different from usual. I mean, how could they? Everyone just followed the program like they always do without even getting the slightest feeling of suspicion.

But not me, I was different. I was more self-aware than anyone else in the game.

For now, I thought it was best to play along and pretend. I searched for the IP address of her phone and it pointed to Rika's apartment.

Everyone began to panic, especially Yoosung. They all bombarded the poor girl with questions. Who she was, what was she doing in the messenger, eventually they all strayed from the subject and began talking about Zen's job. All except Jumin got sidetracked.

The stranger revealed to us that she was called Legacy and that she was really happy to be able to chat with everyone. The RFA members just kept chatting according to the program, completely ignoring her weird replies.

While everyone was busy chatting with this person called Legacy, I searched for the identity of our mysterious stranger, although I already knew what she looked liked. It was the same girl every time, the company always gave the main character a generic appearance: long straight brown hair, fair complexion, and no eyes.

I kind of found it weird that they gave the main character no eyes, but I soon found out that it was to give the target audience their own visual on how she would look like. Makes sense, I guess.

I lost count on how many times I've done a background check on that same girl, but there was one thing I know I wouldn't forget about her, and that was the fact that her bangs were so ridiculously long that it covered half of her face.

"SO WHY THE HELL DOES SHE HAVE EYES NOW!?!" My jaw dropped when I stared at the computer screen. The MC has eyes. When did she gET EYES!?

I checked the messenger again. Everyone kept asking Legacy about how she ended up in the chatroom, but they eventually resorted into asking for V's help. It was my role to call V when it comes to these kinds of serious matters, so I gave him a ring and chatted while waiting for him to pick up.

I couldn't help but wonder if I should mention any of this to him. Then again, V followed the programming as strictly as everyone else, so I decided against it.

Now what are we going to do?

707

V's coming here soon. He just hung up.

V

* * * * * *

The rest of the chat went as planned. Because of V's request for Legacy to join the organization, everyone was trying to persuade her into becoming a member. She was hesitating about joining, even being absolutely pessimistic about it, saying that she was not good enough for a job in our kind of organization.

I made sure to read her replies extra carefully. I suddenly remembered the girl I chatted with yesterday when I hacked the system.Maybe she was the same girl...?

Both sides argued for a while until we decided to threaten her by telling her that she was going to be sued for trespassing into Rika's apartment. I did what I had to do and register her as a new member of Rika's Fundraising Association, whether she liked it or not.

One by one, everyone exited the chatroom and I was left alone in my office with my thoughts, though I really should be working right about now. But I wanted to know more about this girl. Who was she? And what happened to the MC? Did the company change her appearance? More importantly, WHERE THE HELL DID SHE GET EYES ALL OF A SUDDEN!?

I couldn't just sit there all day thinking about it, so I picked up my phone once, and dialed her number. I just wanted to check if my suspicions about her were true.

After a couple of rings, I heard the call being picked up. I grinned and spoke in a cheerful way.

"Hello~ This is Defender of Justice, Seven Zero Seven welcoming you to the RFA!" I rocked back and forth in my chair as I spoke into the phone.

There was a giggle from the other side of the line and I completely froze at the sound.

"Did she...just laugh?"

I never heard her voice before. Okay, so she had eyes AND a voice now? When was the company gonna announce this to us?!

I heard a high pitched beep and an irritated voice muttering something about 'blank answer boxes'. Seconds later, she finally replied to me,

"I am the notorious Legacy! I've come to take away all your Honey Buddha chips, Seven Zero Seven!!" She cackled at the end, faking a deep villainous voice to match her persona.

I couldn't believe what he was hearing. She was actually talking to me.

There was an awkward silence and I just sat there with my phone pressed against my ear.

What was I supposed to say?

This wasn't part of the program!

"...Hello? Are you still there?" She asked worriedly after not hearing anything from me. "Maybe this answer button isn't working?? Do I need to press something or what? Arghhh!! What am I supposed to do!?"

I heard the loud beeps from multiple buttons being pressed from the other line and frustrated screaming about not knowing how to use her own phone. I began to chuckle in amusement. She was definitely not what I had expected.

"Ahhh, did you want to hear my voice so badly~?" I teased. The beeping stopped and I waited for a reply.

"...How is it that your voice gets sexier every minute, Seven?" She blurted out loud without thinking.

I could've sworn that my heart bursted straight out of my chest!! My soul was practically flying out of my mouth! !

I managed out a laugh, how could I even reply to something like that? I gave a fake excuse that I had some work coming up and I had to leave.

"I'll talk to you next time. Then Seven Zero Seven! Returning to the world of darkness! BAAM!"

I hurriedly ended the call before I said anything stupid. At least now I know that this girl wasn't the same MC we were all were used to seeing. For one thing, she actually spoke.

She had a voice. Her own thoughts.

I continued to wonder if this was the same person I had been chatting with when I hacked the app.

If so, what was she doing inside the game?
