Sage Advice: 3]
The fire began to burn in the furnace and a crackling sound came out.
My colleagues, who had been moving around frantically, also began to sit down here and there to rest.
“Gain.”
“grandfather?”
“Doesn’t the scenario tell us anything?”
“Iknow, right. “I entered the house as instructed, but the next information has not yet appeared.”
Ari, who was leaning next to me, answered.
“If you think about it like a movie, I think it’s not time yet.”
It’s time… . Is something starting to happen soon?
Ari sighed as if he felt something was regretful.
“Ah, I took five pistols with me on the train! I also brought 4 transparent badges. “It’s all flying away.”
In the first trial, ‘Doppelganger Train’, everyone’s items except Legacy were duplicated.
Not only handguns, but also badges, pens, and gloves were all provided to the fakes.
Ari picked these up one by one, but unfortunately, when the first trial was over, all the duplicated items disappeared.
“That pistol was obtained by ripping off your limbs in the first place. “It’s considered a precious item in its own way, but I didn’t think it would be copied that easily.”
“That’s right. By the way, if it’s ‘The Witch’s Forest,’ there will be a witch, right?”
“I guess so.”
Songi, who was listening, joined in.
“Should we kill the witch?”
“well? “I don’t think there will be any mistakes if we proceed by referring to my ‘understanding of the scenario’ instead of judging ourselves right away.”
“I’m hungry. Should I look for something to eat?”
With those words, Eunsol stood up and headed toward the kitchen.
At that moment, a notification appeared.
/I will seal the participant’s legacy from now until the end of the second trial./
The blessing is sealed in the first trial, and the inheritance is sealed in the second trial.
Is it a structure that seals in turns?
‘Understand Scenario’ started flashing again along with the notification.
Now it’s starting in earnest.
/Scenario: Gateway Room – ‘Witch’s Forest’
The group, who were resting in a suspicious house, opened the tea cabinet and drawers to get some snacks.
Unusual traces found inside! The party sensed a crisis, but it was already too late.
A witch approaches the mansion. Can her group survive the witch’s threat?
Please check back at midnight for the following information./
??? Suddenly what-
“Aaaah!”
An ear-piercing scream! Everyone looked into the kitchen in surprise and saw Eunsol shaking with the tea cabinet open.
Grandpa Mukseong ran and checked the surroundings.
“Eray shiiibaaaal! Eunsol, come out!”
The swear words immediately burst out. What on earth?
“What is it?”
“The owner of this house is a crazy cannibal. “Every bowl is full of human corpses!”
I also forced myself to stand up and look, then immediately turned my head away.
A transparent bowl like Lock&Lock was filled with human eyeballs and human body parts here and there.
By the time everyone was horrified by the true nature of the ‘witch’.
Beasts throughout the forest began to howl.
—Kung! Wow!
—Awww!
I do not have the Blessing of Friendship, but even without it I could understand the meaning of this call.
A cry of fear! It must be a signal from the beasts telling everyone to run away because a monster has appeared.
Everyone began to move frantically in the terrible atmosphere.
Jincheol still hasn’t come to his senses. We can’t run away from the mansion. We have to hold on here.
Time filled with tension passed as we secured doors and windows, made torches just in case, and filled our pistols with bullets.
Who has fighting power? Unfortunately, Jincheol, the strongest brother, has been incapacitated!
It was difficult for me to move properly, and Song and Ari became ordinary girls when their inheritance was sealed.
In fact, is this silent old man with a gun going to have to fight alone?
As I turned my head, I spotted a second combatant.
“Song!”
“yes?”
“You said you could talk to Pero, right? “Tell him to immediately transform into a monster like last time!”
As soon as she heard what I said, Songi acted as if she was communicating with Pero.
Did you understand? Perot moved near the door of the house, his bunch flying off his shoulder.
This is not the time for me to lie down in vain. I clenched my teeth and stood up.
As soon as I stood up, my arms and legs started shaking, and a stabbing pain hit me. I can’t help it.
I prepared for battle by fiddling with capsaicin spray and a silver dagger.
—thud! thud! bang! bang!
Finally, the appearance of the ‘witch’ arrived near the mansion and was revealed through the window.
I have never seen such a horrible creature in my life.
Perhaps because of the word ‘ma’, it looked like a female-type creature.
It looked like it had about eight limbs, and eyes protruded like protrusions here and there on its body.
Even though it was crawling, the height from the floor to its head seemed to be about 3 meters, and its mouth was full of teeth as sharp as awls.
When the horrible monster saw us through the window, it laughed from ear to ear.
… The moment I saw that smile, I was so disgusted that I almost vomited.
Does that monster think ‘meal’ feels like it came into the house on its own?
—bang! bang!
As soon as the figure was revealed, Grandfather Mukseong started shooting.
I looked with the torch shining on it. It doesn’t feel like it’s working properly.
It wasn’t to the extent of deflecting the bullet, but the bullet just entered the body as if it were in jelly, and the witch moved as if nothing had happened.
—thud!
The witch tried to rip the door off with both hands!
“Stop it!”
They frantically brought tables and furniture from all over the mansion and blocked the door.
“The gun doesn’t work properly, so how do I deal with that!”
“Do you understand it’s me! “It would be easy if there were a star, but the inheritance is sealed and Cha Jin-cheol has no intention of waking up, so I don’t know what to do!”
“Don’t you think we should burn it with fire?”
“What can we do when there is no oil? “They say you can catch fire just by holding a torch!”
—Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
With the sound of rough scraping on the wall, a huge hand came through the window!
In an instant, the hand was about to attack Seungyeop, but Seungyeop ‘accidentally’ fell and avoided the hand.
—Piyooooo!
Pero transformed into a grotesque and slashed at the witch’s hand with his huge beak.
The witch made a strange sound as if she was angry, grabbed Pero’s head and threw it away!
Not knowing that my body was hurting, I frantically walked over and lifted Pero’s head, which had hit the wall, and inspected the wound. Even Pero, who usually ran away whenever I got close, didn’t avoid me now.
There is no real answer. There are no stars, and now that Jincheol has fainted, there is no way for us to stop that monster.
“Just die! 이 개새끼야!”
He stretched an object like a pitchfork that was hanging in the mansion outside the window and swung it wildly. The witch who was trying to come in by tearing down the window took a slight step back.
Creepy eyes stared at me, writhing counterclockwise.
The moment I looked into those eyes, one thought came to mind.
I ran frantically and grabbed my grandfather’s gun.
Although my grandfather was embarrassed, he gave me the gun, and I handed it to Seung-yeop.
“Write a blessing and shoot!”
“yes?”
“Write a blessing and shoot like you hit a balloon!”
Only then did Seungyeop understand what I was saying and went to the window –
I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger without even looking at the witch.
—bang! bang!
Indeed, good luck! He shot without even looking, and blood spouted out from several of the witch’s eyes like a ghost.
No matter how much of a monster it is, can it survive its eyeballs exploding?
—Keeeeeeeeek!
With a scream that shook the entire mansion, the witch began to run away.
…
Everyone was lying on the floor with a dazed look on their faces.
In terms of time, maybe it was about 20 minutes? It was a really brief fight, but I felt like I was going crazy.
It’s an absurd monster.
Sister Eunsol muttered absentmindedly.
“Is this enough?”
Grandfather Mukseong was skeptical.
“Is that possible? “If it’s that much of a monster, its eyes will definitely regenerate!”
“How on earth does the Bureau deal with such a monster?”
“It’s simple. “Usually we take a helicopter and fire rockets or missiles while using the cannon.”
“yes? I beg your pardon? helicopter?”
“Then you thought we were going to sprinkle some holy water and pray? It’s the 21st century! It’s a machine gun rather than a cannon, and it’s a missile rather than a machine gun. In the 21st century, monsters’ greatest natural enemies are not priests but helicopters and tanks. “It’s difficult for a tank to enter a forest like this, so it’s a helicopter.”
“… It’s an impressive story, but we don’t have a helicopter right now.”
“I know. I don’t know how the management bureau sends us out to catch monsters that we will use equipment to catch… .”
I lost all my strength. A monster that even veterans who have hunted monsters their entire lives feel that there is no answer to other than military weapons such as helicopters or tanks.
How on earth can you catch such a monster without any legacy?
Ari stood up and started speaking.
“Something is strange. “I have broken through the cursed room several times in the meantime, but there has never been a case like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“This hotel is basically designed to be broken with thought rather than with ignorant force, right? Suddenly, they throw such an absurd monster at me and say, ‘Come on, break it with all your might.’ “It’s not like this!”
Everyone nodded.
right. It’s not the hotel’s way to suddenly throw in an absurdly strong monster and ask you to fight it.
There is clearly a different strategy.
Immediately everyone got up and started walking around the mansion looking for hints.
*
As soon as I saw him, I swore and ran away to the kitchen, then went back in.
The entire place was full of food made with human ingredients.
A small glass jar was filled with food that looked like pickles made from eyeballs, and on one side of the ceiling hung sausages that were obviously made from human flesh.
In addition to these, some truly creative dishes were discovered.
“Why on earth does this pervert want to do this to people?”
I was walking around sighing.
For the first time, I felt uncomfortable.
…
What did the witch we saw earlier look like?
It was truly a twisted monster itself.
It had several arms and legs twisted in a random manner, and eyeballs protruded like protrusions all over its body.
Even though it was crawling, it looked like it was 3 meters tall. How big would it be if it stood on two legs?
Would a man that big be able to fit into this average-sized mansion? Even if you come in, can you move properly?
Even making such ‘food’ with such a twisted body?
I immediately called my colleagues and shared my thoughts.
Ari nodded.
“That makes sense. “This house is certainly not big enough for such a monster, and there is no way these foods could be made with a body like that.”
Silent grandfather received it.
“You mean you can change into a normal human form?”
I answered right away.
“I think that is the key to the solution. No matter how much I think about it, fighting that monster from earlier is not the answer. “Wouldn’t it be possible to kill them by somehow changing them into human form?”
“When I hear that, something comes to mind.”
“what?”
“The contents of the ‘scenario’ that Ga-in told me about earlier. You asked me to check the next information at midnight, right? “Isn’t there something that changes at midnight?”
