Episode 101 – Party Time (3) – Grotesque, Counseling
* Party time early morning of the 1st
– Yoosongi
—Beep!
I woke up to the sound of beeping. I turned on the light in my room and checked the clock, it was 3 am.
When I went to the nest made of towels scattered around the hotel, I found that Pero had just finished eating the meal he had prepared.
I need to prepare food again.
As I moved to leave the room, Pero started looking at me intently.
Remembering the warning to ‘don’t leave me alone’, I deliberately opened the door to room 105 wide so Perot could still see me.
Outside the door, there is a pile of parrot food that Eunsol ordered.
When I made a decent meal with the feed and eggs I brought, Pero, who was watching it next to me, immediately stuck his beak in the bowl and started eating.
…
It seems like they hatched last night, but the growth is noticeable in just a few hours.
Its size has become similar to that of a small parrot, and it no longer needs to be fed with a syringe, but instead comes and eats its own food. They have already started eating the nuts included in the parrot food.
Their intelligence is surprisingly high, so they dispose of their excrement in a separate place.
Isn’t this much easier to raise than a dog or cat?
The only thing that makes me tired is the huge amount of food I eat.
Is it because we are still in the growth phase?
The child, who is a little bigger than my hand, eats the same amount of food as most young humans.
Of course, it wasn’t enough to eat that much all day long with such a small beak.
After watching, I felt sleepy again and fell asleep.
.
.
.
—Squeak
.
.
.
—bang!!!
Tremendous noise and shock!
In an instant, my body bounced and hit the wall.
“ah! what?”
“What is this?”
“uh? “What are you all doing?”
When I came to my senses, my entire team was sprawled around the room.
Meanwhile, Elena, who was only wearing a negligee, and Jincheol, who was taking off his top, were picking up clothes around them in embarrassment.
—bang!!!
Again, with a huge explosion, the door of room 105, which was staggering, was completely torn off and thrown away.
When I looked towards the door in shock, there was a huge monster I had never seen before in the hotel.
Height is at least 4M?
It looked like a very large and vicious ostrich, and its beak was so big that it could fit my head in its mouth.
In addition, hard, sharp fur that looked like a mixture of feathers and scales grew all over its body, and instead of wings, a lump of flesh with a mixture of tentacles and horns sprouted from its back.
A monster that looks like something out of a horror movie!
Everyone opened their mouths.
A monster came into the space where the door was torn off, ‘looking at me’.
As soon as I approached, the monster’s emotions were conveyed to me.
Nice to meet you. Relief. pleasure.
…
Is that really possible?
But, it was already too late.
“Everyone be careful!”
Before I could stop him, Jincheol ran out yelling –
He struck the giant bird’s beak with his fist and kicked its body with his kick.
Then the monster fell backwards.
no? Why is that guy really so strong?
“hey! Everyone calm down -”
—Pyooooooo!
A harsh roar erupted from the mouth of the monster, or rather ‘Pero’, that was thrown outward.
The next moment, a terrible feeling began to boil in my heart.
A total of negative emotions that seem to be a random mixture of fear, disgust, and anger!
Does Perot have that kind of power? Why, in this situation!
Although I was belatedly protected by the power of the bracelet, others had already begun to become extremely excited by the power of the roar.
Jincheol oppa screamed and ran towards the bird.
Although it is a situation where a person is running towards a monster, this situation is clear.
Faroe is in crisis!
Pero was sent flying with just one punch or kick, right?
This is not a fight that Perot will win just because he is bigger in weight class.
Fortunately, Pero instinctively sensed that fact and started running away like crazy.
As I was panicking, someone grabbed my shoulder.
“That monster, the bird that came out of the golden egg, right?”
“Ari? are you okay?”
“I’m okay.”
“that’s right. Pero, you are the bird that came out of the golden egg.”
“Why did it become like that? Come with me right now and let’s stop Jincheol. “Before the bird gets hit and dies.”
I went out of room 105 without any hesitation.
Should I say I’m glad?
Jincheol oppa must have come to his senses and was leaning against the wall, holding his head.
But a weak man who has already been beaten hard – no, honestly, he doesn’t look weak. – Perrault was so frightened that he went on a complete rampage!
“brother! Are you okay?”
“Ah, it’s okay now. What is that roar? “My head suddenly got hot and I felt angry.”
Ari joined in from the side.
“For something like that, you came to your senses quickly?”
“Has this happened once or twice in this hotel? I thought it was strange, so I stopped without realizing it… . “That’s the golden egg bird, right?”
“Pero is right!”
“Pero?”
“I guess Songi named him Pero. “Anyway, how do I calm him down?”
—bang! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Clink!
This looks like a scene from some kind of monster movie.
People quickly came to their senses because they had become accustomed to strange things and everyone was aware of the existence of the bird that came out of the golden egg.
However, at the point where Pero had already been hit and flew away, he was so scared that he was destroying everything around him.
The good news is that Jincheol, who beat me up and sent me flying, was scared and didn’t come close to us.
While everyone was looking at them, not knowing what to do, Ga-in oppa walked out.
“I will make it quiet. “It won’t hurt you.”
what?
…
My brother, who was walking, stopped and stared at Perot.
The next moment, the bracelet recognized a ‘change in sensation’.
I can’t really explain this feeling, but I just knew.
Now, Gain’s brother’s consciousness has hijacked Perot’s body!
… The moment when Perrault’s consciousness fades away.
I felt a tremendous, indescribable fear arise from Perrault’s mind.
The situation was quickly resolved.
When Ga-in entered Pero’s body, Pero naturally returned to his original cute appearance.
Afterwards, while Ga-in tried to ‘fly’ –
“brother! “Don’t do anything strange and just stay still!”
… While trying to ‘fly’, he hit the wall three times and suddenly fell backwards and started dancing.
Even if a person enters the body of a bird, it seems very difficult to fly.
I picked up Pero’s body, and a little later, Gain returned to his own body.
“Did you know I was in a new body?”
“Maybe it was because I kept paying attention, but I felt it right away.”
“The bracelet is amazing. hmm.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“No, this is my first time actually being possessed, and I found out something unexpected.”
Ari joined in because it seemed interesting.
“An unexpected fact?”
“I’ll try a few more times and let you know. “I may have been mistaken.”
Ga-in started thinking about something alone in the hallway, and the rest of the people started to figure out what was going on.
The full story of a major accident that occurred early in the morning!
The facts that I found out after observing Perot’s heart as he dug into me in fear and looking at the traces of the surroundings were a bit absurd.
Early in the morning, I opened the door in front of Pero, who was hungry, and scooped up some parrot feed that I had kept outside the room.
After seeing that, Pero realized that ‘the food is outside the door.’ He woke up again at night and this time went to find the food on his own without looking for me!
However, for some reason, Perrault was able to leave Room 105, but was unable to re-enter.
Finally, after several hours had passed and he was left alone outside, Pero became so scared that he transformed into a monster and destroyed the door.
…
I heard Eunsol’s bewildered voice.
“So, you went out because you were hungry, and now you’re saying you’re scared because you’re left alone, so you made a fuss?”
“I guess so.”
“under… . okay. It’s a bird’s head, so what can I do? But, how did you even open a visit to a new topic in the first place?”
Grandfather Silence carefully played with the handle attached to the remains of the door and answered.
“You can see quite a few scratches from biting it with its beak. It looks like it was probably biting the end of the handle with its beak and flopping down. Ah, you bastard! “Just be strong.”
“No, why did you go through so much trouble to get out!”
“Well, do I understand your new heart? Parrots are curious animals, so it seems like they wanted to go outside. “When I left, I probably didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to come in.”
Why?
“Why couldn’t I come back in? If you learned how to turn the doorknob, you could just turn the doorknob again to open it and come in. “There are no keys to this hotel, right?”
“This is a problem I’ve thought about for the first time, but if you think about it, isn’t room 105 a state where numerous spaces overlap? Even among ourselves, we can’t meet unless it’s time to eat. “It appears that non-participants cannot normally enter Room 105 unless they enter with a participant.”
Seungyeop, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, sighed.
“So, what do we do now? Perot destroyed room 105.”
Ari answered.
“Well, Ga-in already broke it once, right? “Since we’re going to do major repairs again, won’t you tell us to go camping?”
Two hours later.
In the morning, everyone knew that Ari’s prediction was correct.
We had to go to the camping site again.
* Party time, morning of day 1
– Han Ga-in
Since it was already our second time, everyone was now familiar with sitting around the campsite.
As I brought meat from the side and started grilling it, it actually felt fresher and more fun than when I was resting inside the hotel.
by the way… .
As I was still pondering, Ari approached me.
“What are you thinking about for so long?”
“A bird and a grimoire.”
“Pero? I don’t think Song will come down from my shoulder over there. Is his ability limited to transforming into a monster or making emotionally shaking cries?”
“There might be more.”
“As of now, this is an incredible amount of power. So, what’s strange about the grimoire?”
“I used the grimoire for the first time, and something strange happened.”
“It’s a magic book… . From what I heard earlier, I heard that possession and incarnation are possible, right? “He said he didn’t understand Hwasin yet, so he must have felt something strange while using possession.”
“that’s right.”
“What?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the status window has disappeared. And a strange number appeared in the bottom right.”
“Hmm.”
After thinking for a moment, Ari made an easy decision.
“Try it on me now.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“This is the fastest. Write it quickly.”
…
Second attempt.
Looking at Ari, I felt the sense of taking off my body and ‘wearing’ Ari’s body.
I felt like my consciousness was being sucked in somewhere –
I found myself in TS as a beautiful girl in my mid-teens!
Are you strangely excited all of a sudden?
Still, let’s check what needs to be checked first.
[59:52]
[59:44]
…
It’s the same as when I was possessed by Pero.
The status window disappeared, and only a small number appeared. The meaning of the numbers is also clear. 1 hour timer.
Is there really a time limit to possession?
But ‘Apostle’ didn’t have such restrictions?
Just as ‘Sacrifice’, the third power in the grimoire, was edited, were these restrictions placed on possession as well?
Even with the restrictions, why did the status window disappear?
Confusing.
hmm… . For some reason, there was something I wanted to do.
I think this scene appeared in a movie I saw a while ago.
Slightly lower your hand towards your chest –
—Thunk!
With the sensation of something being thrown away, my consciousness instantly returned to my original body.
“Ahahaha! What are you? I really felt like an elementary school student just now. “Did you want to touch me that much?”
…
ah! Why did you really want to do something like that?
I lowered my head in a sudden rush of self-destruction… .
Why did it bounce? I’m not curious about anything like that.
If you think about it, when Sky’s Daughter hypnotized us at Hotel High, Ari woke up on her own through some kind of means. It seems like a similar method was used.
“Do you still want to touch it?”
“… sorry. “Stop for a moment.”
“Wow, that was really funny. So, has something similar happened again?”
“The status window has disappeared. There is also a 1 hour timer. “What do you think this means?”
“The latter is simple. There is a time limit. The bracelet and the star piece all perform differently inside the room and when they come out, right? “It would be the same with the grimoire.”
“I feel sorry about something… . “I thought I had gained eternal life by obtaining this grimoire.”
Eternal life.
When Ari heard those words, he looked at the sky with a distant expression.
I feel this every time, how old is he?
Although I didn’t really ask for it, I at least guessed that it wasn’t as old as it seemed.
“Eternal life was probably actually obtained. Maybe someone else besides you.”
“What are you talking about? If possession has a time limit, wouldn’t it be possible to enjoy eternal life by switching bodies? Besides, it’s someone else?”
“Have you ever seen Jincheol regenerate?”
“…”
“Even though my skin burned and bullets pierced my body, it all regenerated. Would such a body really experience aging?”
“…”
“It’s the same with your grimoire. If the hotel was planning to weaken the grimoire itself, wouldn’t it have left a trace by editing ‘Possession’ itself, just as it edited ‘Sacrifice’? But according to what you said after reading the grimoire, there are no traces of editing in the possession.”
“What do you mean?”
“The creation of a timer means that it has nothing to do with changes in the performance of the grimoire itself. Status window disappears, timer starts. “Look at both in a similar context.”
“Similar context?”
“You said you also wanted to receive counseling related to ‘Advent’ from me, right? The story I’m about to tell you is connected to all the problems you experience. “This is going to be a bit of a long story, so listen carefully.”
