Episode 154 – Room 201, Room of the Curse – ‘□ □□’ (3)
– Kim Ari
In a chaotic atmosphere, Seungyeop opened his mouth in an uncertain manner.
“Should I choose the next route again? I was wrong once. Shall we try Active? “It’s in a usable condition.”
“From now on, let’s call the active ‘Cheonun’. Don’t use your luck. “The cooldown is really long.”
Mukseong also had the same view.
“Heavenly luck? The naming sense is great too… . Anyway, Seungyeop, as you say, Heavenly Luck is an active skill, isn’t it a skill that works automatically? It activates automatically when necessary. During Weird Family, it was used automatically, and at Hotel Go, a notification popped up asking if it was okay to use it. Just wait. “It will be used automatically when needed.”
After listening to it, it really is like that.
From now on, the Lucky Active Skill, which we will call ‘Heavenly Luck’, is not an active skill at all.
It is a rare skill that is used automatically when there is a crisis, and even recommends to the owner to use it when necessary.
Even the cooldown time is arbitrary. It was certain that it was very long, but Seungyeop himself didn’t know exactly how long it was.
It felt like it was different every time.
It may be surprising, but luck is the most difficult to understand among all blessings.
In the end, Seungyeop took the next route again. This time, the back door.
I called Elizabeth and went to the back door together.
We set off towards the fourth mansion.
While walking down the underground passage, Songi sighed and said.
“It’s late, but where is Pero?”
When Mukseong, who was walking right next to her, nudged her to use the chat window, only then did Songi keep her mouth shut.
… Honestly, I don’t think it matters.
Unless that woman, Elizabeth, is an imbecile, there’s no way she wouldn’t know by now that we’re hiding something and that we have the means to communicate only among ourselves.
If you just look at the party’s power that was revealed for a short time, there is the Glove of Silence and the Star of Jincheol.
From the outside, it would seem strange that they were acting as if they had a connection even though they didn’t say anything.
Despite this, Elizabeth never questioned him.
…
Should I shoot you in the back?
Just like us, that woman is wearing full body armor and a helmet, so she cannot be killed instantly.
Since he is an agent with combat power, he will resist. But here, there is Cha Jin-cheol.
I was seriously thinking about killing that woman right now.
Slightly move the muzzle towards Elizabeth –
Eunsol Lee: Ari, stop.
Ari Kim: Suspicious.
Eunsol Lee: What does it mean?
Kim Muk-seong: Calm down!
Let’s watch a little more. Isn’t the Curse Room basically a structure where you have to try multiple times to break it?
Rather than immediately eliminating something because it looks dangerous, you need to watch it and find out what the secret is.
I also had another concern.
We are also ‘set’ to have such diverse superpowers, but is that woman really an ordinary human being?
Since I’m an agent of the Management Bureau, I can’t let my guard down about that woman’s fighting skills.
I relaxed somewhat. The topic Songi mentioned earlier began to be mentioned in the chat window.
Mukseong Kim: Perrault x from the beginning.
Yoo Song-i: This is my first time doing something like this.
Park Seung-yeop: Somewhere else like Ga-in?
Ari Kim: Is the location itself a piece of cake?
— Shake it off!
Elizabeth, who was at the front, opened the door to the fourth mansion.
Tension arose again, and the chat window stopped.
Where is Pero now?
*
After experiencing up to the third mansion, we developed a hypothesis regarding this ordeal.
A kind of ‘find the difference’ is in progress.
Each of the repeated mansions has one difference.
There is always a monster hidden in those differences. Attacks after a certain period of time.
Therefore, as soon as we entered the front door of the fourth mansion, we literally turned on our eyes and searched everywhere.
The previous three times, I was helpless because I had no idea what was happening, but this time, the situation changed because I had a response strategy.
Eunsol, the owner of powerful eyes, noticed the difference in an instant.
“there! A tree in the living room! “The breed has changed.”
I can’t repeat the same mistake I made when I lost Elena.
Immediately, Mukseong and Jincheol shot at the tree.
— Bang! bang! bang! bang!
When 4 or 5 bullets were hit in succession, an abnormal phenomenon occurred.
The tree seemed to bleed like an animal, then it soaked into the ground and disappeared.
…
After that, no more special phenomena occurred in the fourth mansion.
I finally figured out one correct way to respond.
After taking a moment to catch her breath, Eunsol gave instructions through the chat window.
Eunsol Lee: Seungyeop. Next room.
Seung-Yeop Park: A monster appears in every room you choose. Can’t someone else just choose it instead of me?
Eunsol Lee: Saving type. No one blames you. Just pick one.
It’s true.
In this situation, none of us are enough to complain that a monster came out of the room that Seung-yeop chose.
Since I don’t know how to choose, I have to take pictures anyway, so how can it be any better if someone else takes the pictures?
However, Seung-yeop’s mentality seemed to be very shaken as monsters appeared one after another in the room he had chosen.
“ruler! “Everyone this way!”
Suddenly, Elizabeth’s voice was deep for a woman’s voice.
When everyone turned their heads in surprise, Elizabeth was opening the back door.
Cha Jin-cheol, who was embarrassed, went and persuaded him.
“Team leader, please wait a moment. Let’s discuss further where to go and then -”
“top? Have you ever worn a top? Isn’t it just a child who keeps choosing things? And monsters are coming out of every room you enter.”
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
We exchanged opinions among ourselves through a chat window, but to Elizabeth, it must have seemed like a strange sight, with everyone remaining silent and following the direction the child chose.
If Elizabeth was a trustworthy person and the situation was calm, she would have listened to what she had to say.
Honestly, I can’t afford to do that right now.
Ari Kim: I’m reluctant. Elizabeth Let’s kill her here.
Cha Jin-cheol: Suddenly?
Kim Muk-seong: An impulsive decision, unlike you.
Eunsol Lee: Why did you do that earlier?
Yoo Song-i: Calm down.
Everyone is against it. Songi isn’t even good at writing English!
I sighed slightly. I understand why everyone is against it.
The reason why I feel suspicious about that woman is that she keeps acting independently and doesn’t react much even when she sees our supernatural powers.
The reader’s actions can be seen as just his own search, and his lack of reaction upon seeing his supernatural powers is not particularly unusual, considering that he is an agent of the Management Bureau.
If you think rationally, it’s natural that it seems strange that I would suddenly kill Elizabeth just because she expressed a different opinion.
The reason I continue to doubt Elizabeth… .
It’s my intuition!
When it comes to time for these devilish events, your combined experience is less than mine!
Experienced police officers often feel suspicious just by looking at the behavior of passers-by.
In the same way, my instincts have been warning me that that woman is suspicious.
At that moment, Elizabeth seemed to sense the delicate atmosphere between us and made a statement that gave us room for compromise.
“If anyone thinks a different route is appropriate, please voice your opinion. Let’s share our opinions normally. “Don’t keep letting the child make choices.”
No one answered.
In the first place, we were not in a situation where we had decided on a path based on logical reasoning, so we couldn’t think of anything persuasive.
Also, in any case, it is true that monsters appeared one after another in the room Seungyeop chose.
Everyone seems to be thinking of finding another way.
It’s a little strange.
Even if he didn’t use his luck, isn’t Seung-yeop proud of the trick of getting a 6 every time he throws a dice?
Of course, even then, 6 did not come out every time. Ultimately, it’s a matter of probability.
However, I’m sure I was lucky, but I was a little surprised because I got the wrong answer twice in a row.
To put it simply, it may be that the blessing is not working properly because the person is already psychologically depressed.
But let’s think about it from another perspective.
Maybe Seungyeop is answering the question correctly?
Since there is a monster in every room you choose, isn’t it wrong to think that you are answering incorrectly?
My head became confused again.
Through the back door, I walked down the now familiar underground passage and headed to the next mansion.
At the end of the passage, as always, was a door leading to the next mansion.
Elizabeth opened the door and –
“You idiots.”
Immediately, Elizabeth became invisible and disappeared somewhere!
“Ugh! “What is it?”
“What the hell!” “I told you to kill that bitch!”
There was no time to curse anymore.
On the other side of the door was not the mansion I had seen before, but a very large white space, and in the center was a huge gorilla.
— Gra la la la la!
A shout that shakes the heavens and earth!
This room is a ‘shit’. Seung-Yeop has been avoiding the ‘bang’ all this time!
The gorilla was running towards us at great speed.
— Bang! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
In an instant, everyone was running frantically in all directions and simultaneously pulling the trigger.
Flames spewed out from the muzzle, and a flash of light erupted from the bracelet.
Something shocking happened. The bullet ricocheted!
“stop! Stop shooting! “The bullets are flying and we are in danger!”
More than a dozen rounds were fired in a short period of time, but they could not even pierce the monster’s skin.
At least the bracelet is effective.
The gorilla seemed to be struggling because it couldn’t find our location –
This time, it just started randomly swinging everywhere!
In less than three seconds, the gorilla’s fist, which was swinging everywhere, flew towards Songi.
— Bang!
Seung-yeop threw himself with a loud noise, caught the punch, and hit the wall!
Will it be okay? I guess he didn’t die because he had a protective suit, right? I’ll give you a hug when I get out!
Songi was shocked in the confusion.
“Win, Seungyeop! oh my god? That gorilla is highly intelligent. Just throw it all over the place -”
— Boom!
Cha Jin-cheol rushed into the back of the gorilla. I hit the floor so hard that it made me vibrate.
At the same time, a violent wave occurred in front of Jincheol, along with a feeling of pressure on his skin.
Even if it were a bullet-repelling monster, would it be able to withstand a star?
— Wow!
A completely different reaction!
In an instant, the star began to twist the skin on the gorilla’s back. Ore erupted from the monster’s back, and the flesh began to spread!
After seeing that, Mukseong and I shot at the same time.
different! As the skin became distorted, it lost its unique, strong defense ability.
As the bullet entered its body, the gorilla let out a groan of pain.
— Bang!
“Ahh!”
The next moment, a bullet flew out of the invisible air and Songi fell with a scream.
“Elizabeth!”
Elizabeth, who had become invisible and was hiding somewhere, attacked Songi!
It doesn’t look like he’s dead thanks to the full body armor, but even body armor cannot completely eliminate the power of the gun. It is clear that the impact was like being hit with a hammer.
Songi crawled on the floor as if in pain, and the gorilla, free from the bracelet’s control, immediately corrected its direction and rushed at Cha Jin-cheol.
— Boom! bang!
“Aaaah! “What kind of King Kong is this? Shiiibaaaal -”
2 seconds? 3 seconds? The speed with which the gorilla punched Cha Jin-cheol was faster than the speed with which Byul killed the gorilla.
It’s a one-time attack, but it’s clear.
The physical power of that monster far surpassed even Cha Jin-cheol. It’s no joke, it really reminded me of the gorilla in the movie competing with the dinosaur.
The gorilla even had good hair. It’s not the end just because he flew Cha Jin-cheol, he immediately jumps into the sky and-
Can you jump like that with that size? Are you Hulk?
I couldn’t bear to look any further. With a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, Cha Jin-cheol became ‘what used to be Cha Jin-cheol’.
It wasn’t without results.
While the gorilla was hitting Cha Jin-cheol with its huge fist, Cha Jin-cheol couldn’t even properly fight back.
However, the star that had already been summoned steadily emitted waves of the other world until just before Cha Jin-cheol’s death.
In terms of time, it was only a few seconds, but in that time, more than half of the gorilla’s strong skin was reduced to tattered flesh.
In this chaos, I… .
Honestly, there is nothing I can do.
How to? Old blood has various abilities, but it doesn’t have the ability to work against an ignorant guy like that.
Approach and hypnotize? A gorilla can turn me to jelly faster than I can hypnotize it, right?
The good news is that after the gorilla regained its senses, Elizabeth disappeared as if she had died.
It seemed that the gorilla did not regard her as Elizabeth.
The moment the room was filled with fear, a butterfly appeared in the air.
…
A beautiful blue butterfly, a being truly out of place in this terrible space where flesh, blood, and bones splatter everywhere.
The butterfly moved towards the gorilla, fluttering slowly as if it were playing a joke.
Even the gorilla paused for a moment, seemingly dumbfounded, and then lightly waved his palm to create a butterfly.
As soon as the butterfly touched the gorilla’s palm, it soaked into it!
Eunsol is hiding somewhere! Like Elizabeth!
For the first time since the battle began, the gorilla began to stumble.
At the same time, the chat window rang.
Kim Muk-seong: Ari! now!
I immediately grabbed my gun and ran towards the gorilla’s twisted skin.
