Suddenly the floor shook. Did I step on something? The moment I wondered,
“Kaaaaaaaa!”
“What the fuck is this?”
Screams and swearing fill the swimming pool.
Something, something strange, ‘rose up’.
Lips suddenly protruded from the floor, walls, and ceiling.
The huge lips open, as if they were just the lips of a huge person removed and pasted together.
A tongue the size of your forearm. How can something that stretches out like that be called a ‘tongue’?
A frog’s tongue stretches out like that to catch flies.
The problem was, ‘we were the flies.’
Quadang!
The balance was momentarily lost.
In confusion, I moved my gaze to my right leg, and saw a tongue rising from the floor, grabbing my ankle.
I was startled and tried to wiggle my legs around and try to pry off the hideous tongue with my hands, but there was no way.
It didn’t budge, as if a thick rope was holding the leg tightly!
Bleep!
A cry that cannot be believed to have come from a human mouth.
what? When I turned my gaze towards the sound, I could see that the ‘lips’ were twisted in the shape of screaming in pain.
Indeed, Jincheol is different from us. When I just ‘ripped off’ the tongue with a bit of force and threw it away, my lips screamed!
That monster feels pain too. Just like a human tongue.
When I cut off a couple of tongues with such force that it felt like tearing off a rope with my bare hands, the tongues no longer went toward Jincheol, perhaps because I was tired of them.
As soon as that happened, Jincheol quickly ran away, and in less than a minute, Eunsol, Seungyeop, and I were free.
But – the situation has just begun.
“Uh, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
Unfortunately, at this point, the two people in the water, Elena and Songi, cannot come out.
The moment I approached and saw the inside of the swimming pool, I was speechless.
Lips. Huge-lips. Such huge lips.
The size is completely different from the lips protruding from the wall or floor outside the swimming pool.
At this point, isn’t it the size of a whale’s mouth?
The thickness of the tongue coming out of it was also on a different level.
While other tongues were as thick as a thin forearm, that tongue was as thick as an average person’s leg.
It even had two tongues instead of one.
Before I could do anything, Jincheol approached me.
It will be resolved somehow. Over the past few days, I have confirmed several times that my brother’s extraordinary strength is beyond common sense.
Even if it is a tongue as thick as a human leg…
If you have the strength to crush concrete with your fist, you will be able to do anything.
The situation turned out differently than I had hoped.
“Ugh, really, why does this bastard’s snout get so big! Gain!! Come and let’s pull together!”
I ran frantically. My brother put on a show of strength, pulling Elena with one arm and Songi with the other, then let go of one hand, and I pulled the songi with all my might.
While pulling – I was puzzled for a moment.
Although the tongue is powerful, it is ultimately only the tongue.
It’s not as hard as steel.
Even with my strength, it felt soft, but wasn’t Jincheol-hyung’s strength, which I’ve seen so far, enough to cut off the tongue itself?
I had already seen small tongues snapping off in a second or two, like cutting a rotten rope, when saving someone else, so I thought it wouldn’t be difficult even with a big tongue.
It wasn’t until I got closer and started pulling on the bunch that I realized the problem.
As soon as the incident occurred, both Songi and Elena tried to get out of the water, but they were late, so most of their bodies were still in the water. Naturally, the tongue that grabs and pulls the leg is also in the water.
How could a person who finds it difficult to even float still in the water be able to go in there and cut off his tongue!
In fact, it is a problem even if you are good at swimming.
Aside from being strong, unless you ignore the laws of physics, it is difficult to use your strength properly when there is nothing to support your body in the water.
Little by little, Songi and I were pulled to the bottom of the pool at the same time.
Oh my!
The mouth at the bottom of the pool opens.
The water swirls and is sucked into the huge mouth.
I feel the pressure becoming more and more difficult to bear.
Ah… Mouth! That mouth! Countless disgusting teeth flash from the open mouth.
At least, if you go in there, you won’t die a nice death.
Compared to dying inside there, freezing to death in room 101 wasn’t quite a merciful death.
When the mouth opened, the sound of Songi’s screams and crying became twice as loud, and now it was deafening.
Tingrrrrrr-
At that time, a metal object fell next to me.
Silver dagger.
This is a decorative dagger I found in the hallway the morning I was supposed to enter room 101.
I couldn’t actually use it in issue 101, but I kept it after that.
It looked so flashy and expensive that I was thinking of carrying it with me in the future, and I remember playing around with it with Seung-yeop and Jin-cheol.
I played with a work of art that looked incredibly expensive, worth tens of millions of won, maybe even hundreds of millions of won, like a toy.
I hear Seung-yeop shouting something.
You took the dagger out of my clothes and threw it.
I understood the intention. He picked up his dagger and stabbed his tongue with all his might.
This tongue is strong and not as hard as steel, so there is no way it can withstand a blade!
Sooooook-
As expected, the dagger dug into his tongue.
A very stiff texture, as if cutting extremely tough meat.
The stench was so bad that it made me vomit, and blood spouted out.
Bleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A scream so loud that even my deafened ears pierced.
It filled the pool, suppressing all other sounds.
And finally, Songi and I were free.
“Oppa, oppa, thank you – tuet, thank you – cluck, no”
“I’ll say that later and take a deep breath.”
“You really should stop saying things like that later and stick your tongue here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
A loud roaring sound
I ran frantically to take a picture of Elena’s ankle.
[Bow down to the floor right now!]
? What is this all of a sudden?
And flew into the sky.
This is the first time in my life that I have felt floating in the air like this.
Suddenly, my vision flashed, and my body flew 7 or 8 meters like a bird and hit the wall.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ssivaaaaaal! Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
My whole body feels crushed.
From head to toe, it felt like someone was hitting me with a hammer.
Lately, I realized. That crazy tongue – it came flying and hit me like a shot put.
Ah, so there was a warning to bow down.
But what should I do?
Couldn’t you have read the future and warned me in advance?
By the time I saw that, it was already too late…
Ah, in the midst of this, I realized part of the ‘warning’ mechanism.
‘Advice from a wise man’ is always given when danger becomes real and a crisis occurs within a few seconds.
The reason why this ‘sage advice’ didn’t work the moment we explored the hotel’s amenities and even entered the pool was quite simple.
Because that mouth wasn’t in the swimming pool.
Even when the mouth came out, the warning didn’t appear immediately, and it didn’t appear until the tongue of the mouth was about to half kill me!
Only then did I realize that this ‘advice’ had more weaknesses than I thought.
But maybe it’s already too late.
I feel like dying.
Could this really be beyond the limit of what the human body can withstand?
Is this what it feels like when you get hit by a truck?
It hurts so, so much.
On the contrary, it hurts so much that it is difficult to lose consciousness.
And, from somewhere – red liquid is seen being sprayed.
What is that? In the meantime, I’m curious. Eunsol’s sister swings a strange container and sprays out liquid.
Strangely, the liquid displayed truly magical powers.
Every time the liquid touched them, their tongues went beyond running away as if they were startled and just fell apart and trembled. Even the big tongue is no different.
When I poured the liquid into the large tongue with the force of emptying the bucket, the tongue that struck me and the two tongues that held Elena just rolled on the floor and trembled, as if the disgusting force they had shown earlier had disappeared in an instant.
What kind of miraculous magic potion did Eunsol obtain? How can you neutralize a monster like that so easily?
Mouth – closed.
The whirlpool in the swimming pool stops.
And, when the confusion finally subsided, I relaxed and lost consciousness.

“Sister, sister, sister, oppa, oppa, what should I do? What should I do? Is Ga-in oppa not waking up? Is Ga-in oppa not waking up? brother?”
“Song, you’re crazy, so please stay still. Jincheol said you did some exercise? “Can’t you do first aid?”
“We are doing it now. My arm… my arm was just crushed. “At least my arm absorbed the shock, so if I had been hit in the stomach, I would have been dead already.”
“Arm… I’m not a doctor, but this… No matter how you look at this, it’s not just your arm that’s injured, right? It flew away… I saw it too. Ga-in just flew 10 meters and got stuck!”
“I saw it too… Even if I didn’t see this, my internal organs were all messed up. This, this… I can’t just put on a splint like this, the doctor needs to come, no, you fucking hotel bastards, the doctor needs to come!!!!! “Can’t you hear me!!!!!!!!!!”
“Sister… Sister… Shouldn’t we buy something at that market? “Do you have any potions or something like that?”
“The market items there don’t deviate from common sense… There’s no way there’s a potion or something when there’s no gun. Even though it is true, there is no answer. “I already bought capsaicin and the bandages I’m wearing now, and I use them three times a week.”
The sound of speech. The sound of speech. It’s so loud that I can barely come to my senses.
Ah, the true identity of that miracle potion was capsaicin.
Come to think of it, it’s the tongue.
It’s even weirder that I can’t resist pouring capsaicin solution onto my tongue.
This is not a matter of how strong or weak the tongue is.
Once again, my sister’s quick wits, who remembered capsaicin in the midst of all the confusion, were also amazing.
Before I knew it, something was touching my arm and people were panicking.
Crying girl. There’s no need for that.
A young lady standing and shaking as if she had lost her mind.
Seeing that such a beautiful woman worries me, I guess I didn’t live in vain.
A boy running. Why on earth is he running?
I feel like I’m out of my mind and don’t know what I’m doing.
And, a notification flashes in the corner of my vision.
[Please return to room 105 immediately]
Room 105, Rest Room.
Didn’t the meaning of ‘rest’ simply mean providing food, drink, and a place to sleep?
If you think about it, in the games you played when you were young, the ‘inn’ was a place where your stamina and magic power were filled when you woke up…
I really only spit out two words with all my might.
“No. 105, No. 105”
That was all the strength I had left.
