what? how… . What the hell!
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the front of the train, and Ga-in asked me a strange question and then started acting crazy! At first, he calmly went to Grandfather Mukseong and borrowed a gun.
“grandfather. “I want to check something. Could you give me your gun?”
Would there be any suspicion among co-workers if you asked to borrow a gun?
“Are you trying to shoot at the window? Give it a try. But it won’t break, right?”
“hmm. Even if you can’t duplicate a legacy, can you duplicate a gun? “It’s easier than a knife.”
“what?”
“grandfather. Do you remember the name of the deceased grandson you mentioned earlier?”
“What do you mean all of a sudden? That’s her name… . what?”
—bang!
When Grandpa Mukseong tilted his head, Ga-in immediately pulled the trigger.
…
The train compartment I was in also began to fill with screams.
“Go, Cain! “What on earth are you doing!”
“Tell me your siblings’ names.”
“what? What happened suddenly-”
—bang!
“What were the names of the dogs raised at home?”
“Ugh! brother! “Please save me-”
—bang!
In an instant, Grandpa Mukseong, older sister Eunsol, and older sister Songi collapsed. Is he dead?
I’m so scared… .
What on earth is going on?
—bang!
The sound of something being thrown, yelling. Jincheol and Gain started fighting.
“Gain, you crazy bastard! “What on earth-”
“I was out of my mind? really? “Isn’t it the opposite?”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? No, you’re not Ga-in, are you? “Is there a ghost?”
—bang!
“of course. I’m not Han Ga-in. And you too.”
“이 개새끼가 대체 무슨 헛소리를 -”
“You really don’t know? Or are you pretending not to know because you don’t want to know? “If you really are Cha Jin-cheol, take out the ‘star’.”
“…”
What on earth does this mean?
Jincheol, who had been yelling just a moment ago, took out a star and suddenly stood still as if he had lost his mind.
Something is strange. If a star appears, there should be a huge wave that tickles the skin, but why is nothing happening? Ga-in calmly approached and stabbed Jin-cheol with a knife.
“Do you understand now? Actually, you were already feeling it, right? “Someday, the time of suffering will begin again, but for now, I hope you can rest.”
…
One by one, one by one. The number of living people in the train compartment decreased. scary. It’s so scary. My heart is pounding and I can’t move.
—widely!
The only survivor of this train compartment besides me sat in front of me.
“Are you okay? “I’m covered in cold sweat.”
“…”
“Relax. “You will have to go further.”
“Who is your brother?”
“You still don’t know? I still don’t know who I am. What is certain is that you are the only ‘real’ person in this space.”
“…”
“The rest is all fake. Including me. “He was probably a participant from a long time ago.”
“How on earth do you know that!”
“I felt unwell from the beginning. Maybe it’s because it’s not my real body? Also, the parrot did something when it was just passing by. The parrot only responded to you, right? I did it because you were the only one who knew. Next time I looked out the window, my memory was strange. I remember the recording business when I was young, but now that I think about it, the recording business ended decades ago, right? There is no way Han Ga-in had a recording business in her childhood. Lastly, I tried summoning a grimoire, and a book that just mimicked the shape came out. The only thing sealed on the train was the blessing, but there is only one reason why the inheritance was fake. Because I don’t have the real thing.”
“…”
“Ah~ Who on earth am I? “I can’t seem to remember anything.”
“Why did you help me?”
As soon as the man heard that, he laughed for a while and then patted my head.
“Are you really stupid?”
Has it been about 5 minutes? Someone came across from the front of the train compartment. The person who came over was Songi, who was carrying Pero on her shoulder. After seeing that, the man in front of me spoke up.
“aha! Are you the ‘real’ Song? How did you realize this? Seeing your parrot only following you? Or a bracelet?”
“… who is real?”
“You can’t tell just by looking at it, right? “This kid is real!”
Sister Song’s right arm, ‘Various Perspectives’, gave off a faint flash of light.
“Over! Do you think I might take him hostage? “I don’t plan on being so ugly.”
“…”
“Give me a little time. “Just a little.”
“Time?”
“Time to remember who I ‘really’ am.” “I cleaned up the fakes for you in advance, but you can’t even give me that much time?”
Sister Songi approached. Pero on her shoulder tapped my head. She held my arm and leaned against the side of the train without saying a word.
“Sister, what is it?”
“Out of all the people in this compartment, everyone is fake except you.”
“I heard that.”
“In my room, I was the only one who was real. “I guess we were all divided into separate compartments on the train.”
About 3 minutes passed? Gain hyung, or rather ‘someone’, who seemed to be thinking, stood up.
“done. I will finish it myself, so please pass by. By the way, it would be better to go quickly, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“When you decide to use NPCs in a hotel, there is absolutely no way their ‘original personality’ will come back. But as soon as I started, I felt uncomfortable and out of place, and when I looked outside the window, I realized the truth. You know what I mean, right? The structure is such that after a certain period of time, all the fakes come to their senses. It’s time attack. Will everyone be as cooperative as me? You better go quickly. “If you want to save your ‘real colleagues.’”
My sister’s expression suddenly hardened, and she immediately approached the man. ‘Someone’ who was looking at it smiled and quietly put his gun to his head. … A question that remains unknown until now. Why did that man help me?
Before pulling the trigger, the man muttered softly.
“Ah, now I understand. My name is Cha Seung-jin. If I want to brag a little, I have experience in the Navy Special Forces and Navy Seals. I am confident that I can be of great help to you. “Please remember my name.”
—bang!
… That man wanted a chance at resurrection in exchange for helping us. After picking up the gun from the man’s body, my sister headed to the next compartment with me.

– Park Seung-yeop
As we entered the next compartment, everyone in that compartment looked at us with wide eyes. Songi and I were also in the train compartment, so the number of us suddenly increased.
In the confusion, my sister next to me raised a gun –
—bang!
I blew off the head of the ‘fake Songi sister’ right in front of me!
“People with inheritances, take them out immediately!”
Even without my sister saying anything, the miscarriage had already come out as someone from the next compartment suddenly started shooting. It didn’t take even a second for me to figure out who the ‘real’ person in this room was.
—Squeak!
Ari, who understood the situation in a moment, attacked from behind and started killing the fakes!
… It’s a painful moment.
No matter how fake it is, they still think of themselves as Han Ga-in, Yoo Song, and Cha Jin-cheol, so do they have no choice but to kill them? . Sister Songi and Sister Ari attacked back and forth, and the ‘fake’ ones have no legacy.
In the end, they were all exterminated so quickly that it was pointless. Sister Ari picked up the gun from the fake silent grandfather’s body and then approached us.
“Is it possible that Pero only touched me? I did it, but was it really fake? “It’s absurd.”
“We have to go quickly!”
“huh?”
“The fake who came to his senses told me. As time goes by, the fakes automatically realize that they are fake. “What will those people do?”
“… Let’s go right away. By the way, how do people without inheritance determine authenticity?”
“I think I know Pero when I see him.”
–Slap!
The pistol was loaded.
“The parrot is finally starting to pay for the golden balloon. By the way, unlike the legacy, it seems like guns were given to all silent people on the train? “Do you think you can take this with you?”
The process was similar until the fourth column.
As soon as they crossed over, Ari and Song-i shot and killed Ari, Song-i, and Seung-yeop, who were all fake, and this time they used Pero. Pero flew and sat on Eunsol’s shoulder, and killed all the others.
The problem started with the fifth column.
By the time we passed, the ‘fake’s in the fifth compartment had already started to wake up. When the incomprehensible ‘true self’ began to awaken in the minds of people who until a little while ago thought they were Yoo Song, Kim A-ri, and Park Seung-yeop, they started going crazy.
The good news is that The real person in the fifth compartment was Grandfather Mukseong. The train sealed the blessing, and the rest was fake, so the legacy was lost. There was no one to stop the old man who was the only one with a gun.
When we arrived, the grandfather was already standing among the seven corpses with a dejected expression on his face. Even when Pero flew up and pulled out his grandfather’s hair, the grandfather just stayed still.
The real person in the sixth compartment is Jincheol hyung. Even if you have a legacy, taking out a star without blessing is no different from suicide. Despite this, his brother was forced to summon a star to deal with Dasu alone.
While the fight was in full swing, we went over and subdued the fakes, but Jincheol was already in a state of confusion.
“Jincheol oppa! brother! Are you okay? oh my god… . oh my god!”
How brutal was the fight in a short period of time? His brother was bleeding everywhere on his body and had even been hit by his gun. In the meantime, he even summoned a star, and his skin turned into a lizard skin.
In fact, it was scary to even look at it as it turned into half a lizard-like shell and half a jellyfish-like state. Ari said calmly.
“Let’s go to the next room by ourselves. There’s no way we can treat it anyway. Since I’m still alive, I have to somehow get through this room and get the blessing again. Then the regenerative power will save Jincheol.”
“Ari said… . right. Just go. “Going forward is the path that will save me.”
“Oppa Jincheol!”
Ari didn’t listen any more and headed to the next compartment, dragging Songi with her. Sister Eunsol and Grandpa Mukseong also passed Jincheol with gritted teeth.
It’s getting scary. As we got to the back compartment, the fakes came to their senses and started acting full of madness. I realized once again how lucky I was. Even though there was no blessing!
Cha Seung-jin, the ‘fake’ who woke up first in my compartment, wanted to cooperate with the real one instead of going on a meaningless rampage to get a chance for resurrection in the future.
It’s not just that I’m grateful that you helped me. If a person can make rational judgments even in the midst of extreme confusion and fear where egos are mixed, wouldn’t they definitely be a candidate for people we can resurrect later?
I remembered the name ‘Cha Seung-jin’.
The remaining spaces are the seventh and eighth spaces. A situation where the fakes would have come to their senses a long time ago. What on earth happened?

– 1 hour ago, Han Ga-in
—Clap! Clap!
The train moves endlessly along the endlessly extending railroad tracks. Time passes like a wave. I quietly leaned against the window and looked outside.
It has been a long time since I had the experience of sitting blankly on a train like this. When I was very young, I used to travel on trains like this.
Back then, I was annoyed because my cell phone wouldn’t work when I went to the countryside where my grandfather lived!
I heard that at some point, wifi was installed in rural community centers as well.
Ah, what is it really?
There is a secret inside this train compartment, and only when we find it will the barrier leading to the front compartment disappear… . While I was tilting my head, someone tapped my shoulder.
