Episode 105 – Party Time (7) – Understanding the Scenario
* Party time, evening of day 2
– Han Ga-in
It was when Ari was trying to tell me something important.
Lights began flashing throughout the hotel, and unusual sounds began to be heard.
Ari, who was about to open his mouth, also looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know what it is, but let’s get moving!”
“Bow!”
The moment you turn back –
—hook!
As soon as I heard Ari’s warning, something flew at me, and I immediately bent down.
What is this guy again?
A giant whose identity is unknown. He seemed to be about 2 meters tall and had boxing gloves on both hands.
He was spitting out his mouth and making strange noises.
“Kids these days lack grit. Is it really that big of a deal to break an arm or a leg? Learn boxing from me. Learn boxing from me!”
Ari made a noise in the back as if he was trying to do something, but there was no need for that.
The guy’s body was taken away in an instant.
…
Is something strange?
There are no ‘memories’ in my head.
It contains just one line that kids these days say.
Is this kind of being a human being?
I roughly broke the guy’s leg and returned to my original body.
“Did you just come back after harming yourself by possessing that guy?”
“huh. “What the hell is this guy?”
“I don’t know. “Let’s join our colleagues first.”
As I moved toward room 105, Eunsol appeared, frantically putting on clothes.
“Are you guys okay?”
“We are okay. “What about the others?”
“Let’s go underground. “It seemed like everyone was going down to play in the basement earlier.”
The three of us went down to the basement together. As soon as I got down, my colleagues, including Elena, Songi, Mukseong, and Jincheol, appeared.
I saw more than 10 crazy boxers I had dealt with lying around.
“Is everyone okay?”
To be honest, I wasn’t worried when I asked.
Could it be that a crazy boxer with some strength could be a threat to us?
“Of course it’s okay. But, where on earth do these guys come from? “It seems as if it is sprouting out of the ground. Even if you kill it, it will appear even if you kill it.”
Unlike me, my colleagues were aware of the situation through the underground display.
“A surprise event at the request of a participant? nightmare? “Who on earth asked for this?”
Grandfather Mukseong was also in an absurd mood.
“That’s what I said! “I don’t know who asked for it.”
Suddenly, Eunsol, who lowered her head, opened her mouth.
“maybe… . “I would have asked for it.”
requested. No, I would have asked for it.
When I heard the whole story for a moment, I was dumbfounded.
When I asked the ‘Hand of Greed’ for a useful weapon, they turned the hotel upside down like this.
Surprisingly, Jincheol answered positively.
“sister. Don’t worry. It doesn’t seem like they’re all that special anyway, and if you can kill a few of these guys and get some useful weapons, it’s a very useful business. “Well done.”
“Yeah, right?”
“Sister, it’s okay!”
“Everything is good, but where is Seungyeop now?”
“uh? what?”
“Cain! “Check Seung-yeop’s location using the location information.”
…
“Gain?”
While there was a loud noise around me, I was quite startled.
‘Understand Scenario’ started flashing in the status window.
It can’t only be used in the cursed room!
Even in a hotel, it can be used in situations like now where a strange event occurs and a ‘scenario’ exists.
The moment I pressed it, a long window blocked my view.
/Scenario: Hotel Event – Nightmare
On a peaceful night at the hotel, where everyone was laughing and having fun, a boy suffering from an unachievable love climbs the mountain alone to build his courage and encounters a mysterious butterfly… .
Please check the following information in the hotel basement and hiking./
While I was busy reading, someone hit my shoulder.
“uh?”
“What? what. Ga-in thought you were strange too. “What’s showing up in the status window?”
“Ah, scenario understanding is starting to kick in.”
I relayed the information to everyone right away.
“If it’s a boy, does that mean Seung-yeop is the old guy? Build courage? Climb a mountain alone? I don’t know what this means. “Let’s go hiking underground first!”
Amidst the chaos, everyone moved towards the hotel basement and ‘hiking’.
Ari’s expression turned pale after hearing my explanation.
Before I could point out anything, Songi, who had already sensed something, asked Ari.
“Ari. “Do you have any guesses?”
“… Seungyeop was so clingy to me yesterday that I made a joke.”
“joke?”
“I said, ‘I don’t like children who are timid and scared.’”
At those words, Grandfather Mukseong let out an admiring voice.
“Kya! So Ari, after hearing what you said, you went hiking at night to build up your courage?”
“…”
“Let’s go to the mountains. When you enter the ‘hiking room,’ it looks like Ga-in will be able to tell you something more about ‘understanding the scenario.’”
*
We all moved to the ‘hiking room’ together.
Was it because it was night at the hotel?
The inside of the ‘climbing room’ was completely dark, and nothing was visible.
Jincheol turned on the flashlight he brought, and I checked the ‘scenario’ again.
/Scenario: Hotel Event – Nightmare
The identity of the mysterious butterfly is ‘Nightmare Butterfly’.
The boy who met the butterfly confronts the nightmare hidden deep in his heart, and eventually falls into trauma without being able to bear it.
Soon, the boy’s nightmare began to spread to the world.
At the moment of crisis, the boy’s companions arrived at the mountain to rescue him.
Please check the following information on the mountainside./
“You just have to climb halfway up the mountain!”
“I don’t know what the hell is going on at night.”
Aside from being confused, I don’t feel bad.
Now I’m starting to get a rough idea of what ‘scenario understanding’ is.
Isn’t this a function that guides us to who is threatening us in the room and where to go to solve the problem?
Without this, we would have been wandering around the hotel basement, not knowing who the enemy was or where to go!
If you had this ability early on, you could have eaten a room like Common Sense Media completely raw.
I began to realize the power of the ‘strong reinforcement’ that the owl had been talking about.
Not long after we started climbing the mountain, a painful fight began.
Monsters emerged from all over the darkness and attacked us.
We formed up and started to fight.
Kim Muk-seong, Cha Jin-cheol, me, Kim Ari, and Yoo Song, who had combat power, came forward and attacked the monsters with their own abilities, while Elena and Eunsol began to be protected inside the formation.
It’s surprising, but I think we’ve become really strong now.
Each of the monsters were grotesque creatures that seemed to have come out of a horror movie, but there was no sense of danger.
Jin-cheol just flew into the midst of the monsters and ran wild like a wolf among sheep, while Song-i just waved her hands and did things like a wizard.
Earlier, I snatched the body of a large snake-like monster and went on a rampage.
Grandpa Arina Mukseong was also fighting well.
At this level, aren’t we already close to the ranks of legendary heroes?
Anyway, the monsters were literally endless.
Each one of them is nothing special to us today, but strangely enough, no matter how many times we kill them, they rise up endlessly.
After going on like this, I felt like I was going to use up the time limit for ‘possession’ in a place like this, so I returned to my body.
The remaining possession time was now about 20 minutes.
It will recover again as the days pass, but there are still about 2 hours left until the third day begins.
The chat window started working.
Mookseong Kim: Attention! I don’t think this is it. Even if you kill, there is no end.
Ari Kim: The title of the scenario is Nightmare. It’s about a boy’s nightmare spreading to the world. These monsters seem to be from Seungyeop’s nightmares.
Eunsol Lee: Then should we find Seungyeop and wake him up?
Cha Jin-cheol: I use the stars to run forward and open the way.
In the end, Jincheol ran forward, wearing a star.
We waited for a while and started to distance ourselves.
As Songi sat down on the floor next to her, looking exhausted, Pero sat on Songi’s shoulder and started rubbing his beak against her cheek.
Is it cute?
“The situation is infested with monsters. Is Pero okay? “I was worried that he might transform and go on a rampage, but he’s calm.”
“Pero is very smart, so it’s okay!”
“It’s okay because I’m smart?”
“Perot can instinctively feel the strength of those around him. Pero thinks the monsters on this mountain are worse than our group. So he’s not scared at all.”
Is it because you are conveying Perrault’s thoughts? Song’s tone sounded awkward.
The last time I got scared was when I was alone and Jincheol hit me.
The latter is of course a scary situation, so I guess we’ll just have to worry about the former from now on.
I wanted to touch it too, so I walked over to the songi.
—Beep!
In an instant, Pero let out a loud scream and entered Songi’s clothes.
“oh! “Your brother is over there!”
“…”
Why on earth do you hate me so much?
… When I think about it, there are too many elements to dislike.
On the first day of party time, after Eunsol came up with the idea of a ‘parachute’, I came up with the idea of possessing Perrault and flying outside the hotel to check it out.
After that, I possessed Perot about three more times and ‘practiced flying.’
All I learned was that even if a human mind could enter the body of a bird, it would be incredibly difficult to fly.
Pero had to lose a handful of hair before I realized that.
After that, whenever Pero saw me, he screamed and ran away.
While I was standing there awkwardly, Ari tapped me.
“Do it in moderation. “It’s a precious animal that came from a golden egg, but because of you, it started to lose its hair.”
I guess this is enough, right?
Two or three minutes had passed since Jincheol took out the star and ran upstairs.
We also set off again.
As a result of my brother’s aggro and clearing of the stars, there were twisted remains of monsters everywhere, and the road was now safe.
When I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I opened the status window again.
/Scenario: Hotel Event – Nightmare
Colleagues found the boy immersed in a nightmare from which he could not wake up. A boy dying every moment in a nightmare! Can the companions save the boy and defeat the ‘Nightmare Butterfly’?/
‘found?’
It looks like Jincheol, who went up first, has already found Seungyeop.
I feel like this is the last content. The instructions on where to go disappeared, and the ‘goal’ was also given.
Wake up Seung-yeop and catch the monster called ‘Nightmare Butterfly’.
I looked away and went to the place where my colleagues were gathered.
Jincheol had wrapped Seungyeop in clothes and placed him in a soft place.
“Is Seungyeop okay? He says he’s dying in ‘Understanding the Scenario’?”
“Come and see. “It’s in really bad condition.”
As I got closer, a muffled sound came out.
Seungyeop wasn’t really chubby, but had a typical thin body type.
Now he looked like a starving boy from an African documentary.
My body was so dry that it seemed like only bones were left.
While everyone was confused, there were two people who were the only ones who were not embarrassed.
“It’s a monster you know. “Do they call this ‘nightmare butterfly’ in the hotel?”
“You know?”
“It’s on Earth too. The management bureau calls them ‘Dream Eaters’, but they are clearly the same or similar type. “They are mainly common in Western countries, especially Europe.”
…is it on Earth too? Is it even common in Europe?
What kind of place was the Earth I lived on?
I guess it’s good. If you know the identity, you will know how to deal with it.
Grandpa Mukseong noticed Ari. Ari looked slightly worried, and then she approached me.
“drink.”
“Do I have to drink your blood again? What should I do-”
“I’m running out of time, so I’ll go in and explain. Drink it right away.”
I drank it in.
… In an instant, my consciousness seemed to fade away, and my body collapsed.
