Episode 166 – Room 201, Room of the Curse – ‘The Cube’ (15)
– Han Ga-in
“… There’s something I didn’t tell you.”
“What is it?”
“You said there was an army from the Management Bureau when you came out the door of the lab, right?”
“yes.”
“Actually, escape didn’t happen as soon as I walked out the door. “I also saw the scene of Beatrix fighting the Bureau’s army.”
“Yes???”
Everyone looked at Eunsol in surprise!
“No, that’s right. As soon as I saw the Bureau’s military, I thought of it. “If I’m trapped somewhere and the Bureau’s military kills Beatrix while I’m still alive, wouldn’t it be resolved?”
“Of course you can. There is no need to kill our opponents directly in the first place. In issue 103, it was the ‘devourer’ who killed Athanasia.”
“So, as soon as I came out, I used my badge and hid a little. “The management bureau recognized me and didn’t attack me.”
Grandfather asked in frustration.
“Oh, by the way, why is the preface so long? “Who won?”
“If the Bureau won, I would have come out with the inheritance, right?”
“…”
“At first, the Bureau thought they would win because they destroyed Beatrix’s body with firepower. “He rebuilt his body as if nothing had happened, and when he shouted once, an army of immortal monsters poured out from the underground.”
We were speechless.
“The management bureau also fought quite well. I killed almost all of those monsters one way or another. That’s why I escaped too. But in the end, the tide was tilted in Beatrix’s favor, so I jumped out without even taking a breath.”
I barely managed to come to my senses and said.
“Beatrix’s success wasn’t limited to Cube.”
“Rather, I think the guys left in Cube were ambiguous guys. “The guys in the basement are real.”
“… But do you really think it will be resolved once my seal is released?”
My sister drank a cup of coffee slowly and answered in a surprisingly relaxed mood.
“I actually felt confident after seeing that scene.”
“What confidence do you have?”
“Room 201 is not a room made to beat Beatrix to death by force.”
“This is not a room where you can be beaten to death with force… .”
“You are too strong to try to win with force and determination. In the first place, the organization that was supposed to protect the Earth lost even if it brought in an army? I feel sorry for all of you who tried to beat Beatrix on the second attempt, but the Beatrix you had a hard time dealing with was actually… .”
The older sister paused for a moment, but Elena answered.
“It was like they were just playing with us. “My true ability was to create monsters, and the successful works I created with that power were buried in the basement of the headquarters and never used.”
“that’s right. It’s just a matter of playing around. Beatrix has never felt a real sense of danger against us. And, since it is that strong, it is rather certain. He was not created to win through force. And, the hotel doesn’t give you impossible missions. It is impossible to win through force, but it is possible. Simple, right? There is a way to win without fighting. certainly.”
Room of the Cursed, Room 102 – Reminded me of the nebula dragon fetus in the Mansion of Terror. Normally, it was something that could never be defeated.
The scenario was twisted and twisted several times, so I had no choice but to use the cheat key called ‘Descent’ to overcome it, but if things had progressed normally, it was an opponent that I would have no need to fight with force.
Beatrix is similar. If even the Management Bureau’s military has collapsed, there is virtually nothing we can do about it with our current military strength.
“Now that I look at it, I guess the ‘Gyeonjimangwol’ that the owl delivered twice also meant something like that. This is not a room made to fight Beatrix, so why are you obsessed with the finger called Beatrix and thinking about winning with force? “It all makes sense, but what should we do?”
My sister calmly pointed at me.
“Am I really the answer? Do you think it can be easily dealt with through ‘possession’?”
“That may be true, but it’s not a problem that can be solved by possession, right? That’s also a kind of ‘winning by force’ approach, but I think that’s wrong. Ga-in, just because your alter ego is in front of you, is it possible for you to possess the original body?”
It seems difficult. This is a question that feels like whether you can watch TV and become possessed by the person on TV, but that is impossible.
“I think I can only possess Beatrix’s clone or the monster in front of me.”
“So, I don’t think Ga-in will be able to find an answer even with your possession. There are more than one or two monsters, so is there any meaning in possessing one of them? Just unleash an army of monsters, Cain destroys your body, and Beatrix will win.”
Ari, who was drinking a drink next to him, answered.
“I understand what Eunsol means. There is no way for Beatrix to win through force, and she must find another solution.”
It seemed like the grandfather now understood why Eunsol was so confident.
“The chief researcher was the one who raised Beatrix into this monster in the first place. If he wasn’t an idiot, he would have prepared a means to control Beatrix. Of course, it looks like the means were not perfect, so the means are there.”
As I listened, there was a basis for my sister’s thought, ‘If I just lift my seal, everything will work out.’
Beatrix cannot be defeated by force, and the hotel does not give impossible missions.
To compare it to a game, if you look at the stats, your health is 99999, but there is a boss mob with an invincibility cheat!
I didn’t know at first, so I fought with determination. However, after realizing to some extent the strength of the opponent, I came to the conclusion that he was not the opponent I had come to fight and win in the first place.
There must be a way to subdue it without fighting.
Under the circumstances, the person who would have prepared the means is the chief researcher. This is because there is no way that a person who experimented with a girl who creates monsters as if they were breathing would not have prepared a means of control.
“Was there any information in Patrick’s room regarding the means?”
My sister sighed lightly.
“If I had found it, I would have told you about it first. However, there is circumstantial evidence.”
“Circumstantial evidence?”
“It was a kind of diary, and there were many records showing that Beatrix was afraid of the head researcher.”
understood. If Beatrix, a monster with overwhelming power, was afraid, there must have been a reason to be afraid.
Perhaps because it was late, Songi looked tired.
“At this point, I think we’ve said almost everything we wanted to say. Ga-in, let’s write some advice quickly, right?”
I agree. We had said most of what we wanted to say, and it was late.
It’s time to listen to the advice of an unfriendly sponsor.
[Advice: 3 -> 2]
‘Is there a way for the chief researcher to subdue Beatrix?’
It seemed like it might be there, but you need to confirm it accurately through advice.
[Dog owners do not leave their dogs far away from the leash.]
Is it because it is a question about an area in which we have already gathered so much information that we are half sure about it?
I got a pretty friendly answer!
Of course, there is a way to subdue the dog, but doesn’t that mean that the way is near the dog’s owner, that is, the chief researcher?
When I told the answer to my colleagues, their faces brightened.
Elena asked curiously.
“Your answer is quite kind, isn’t it? “Without even throwing out idioms?”
Now I know the answer.
“It’s because it’s a question that requires us to gather enough information, arrive at the correct answer, and then check it again. “When something is unkind, it’s when you ask something in a situation where you don’t know the answer due to lack of information.”
“Isn’t it absurd even though it makes sense? “I’m asking a question because I don’t know much in the first place, but because I don’t know much, I’m giving an unkind answer.”
“Iknow, right.”
One of my wishes is to hit at least one owl before leaving the hotel.
Eunsol said with a happy expression.
“look! Did I tell you? Given the circumstances, it is inevitable that Cain’s seal and the solution are very closely related. You can never win with strength, but it is possible to break. This means that there is a way to win without fighting, and is there anyone other than the chief researcher who would have prepared the means for that?”
I was somewhat relieved when the results of the group’s guesses and advice came out in a consistent direction.
The remaining two tips were used to ask essential questions to resolve the room.
…
The content of the answers was somewhat expected, but there were also some unexpected parts.
I found out where Beatrix’s body was.
I also realized why ‘I’ had to be sealed, not other colleagues.
Room of the Curse, Room 201 – ‘The Cube’.
With the information I have now, it will only take an hour from when I wake up to resolve the issue.

[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 85
You are here: Tier 1, Elevator
Sage Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
“Can we solve it today?”
“I hope so.”
Is it because yesterday’s long discussion led to a solution of its own?
I could see my colleagues reacting with both tension and anticipation.
“Because it was morning, the number of advices was also new. “Do you have any questions?”
My sister answered firmly.
“There are so many. So save it.”
Actually, I was planning on saving it anyway. I asked once out of courtesy.
The plan the group made was actually focused on ‘unsealing Han Ga-in’, and they obtained almost all the information for this.
What I don’t know is what to do after I wake up.
There are currently many unknowns about what Senior Researcher Han Ga-in will do after being liberated.
When I wake up later, I have to figure it out based on the chief researcher’s memories.
So it would be better for me to write it when I wake up later.
— Ding! dong!
A huge chill hit me along with the elevator alarm.
Really, this guy’s chills are a big problem!
I’m guessing that the ‘Hotel Repair Event’ will occur after Room 201 is resolved and party time begins, but how will it proceed?
I have no idea. What kind of sick hotel makes its customers do repairs in the first place?
“Good luck everyone!”
The moment Jincheol hyung ran alone and reached the door and opened the door, shouting “Fighting”, I, who had been running for a while, was also sucked into the door.
…
…
…
Bubbles rising from all directions.
Now a familiar test tube. People rushing around outside.
After a while, consciousness fades.
…
…
…
— Clink!
[The seal has been lifted!]
Now, it’s time for the protagonist to step forward!

– Third attempt, Kim Ari
“Team Leader Elizabeth, this mansion is the Hasbut Mansion.”
“hmm. Are you saying that three-digit numbers of people have already been sacrificed in places like this?”
“If the current pace continues, it will be in the four digits by next year.”
“Isn’t that what we came here to stop? “Let’s go in.”
— Rumble!
“What is this sound?”
“Team leader Elizabeth! “The door is locked!”
“What do you mean? “Contact headquarters!”
“what? What is it? “The radio wave has been cut off!”
— Beep!
The initial progress is no different from the past.
The difference is that I no longer had any intention of playing with Elizabeth.
When it starts going on a rampage, it does strange things like summoning monsters from other rooms, so it’s better to kill it in advance.
“Hey, team leader.”
“Cha Jin-cheol? “If you have any complaints about me-”
— Sigh!
“It’s time to stop adding extras.”
Cha Jin-cheol immediately broke Elizabeth’s neck 360 degrees and then observed her for a moment, wondering if she might turn into a monster. Fortunately, there was no significant change after he was killed.
Of course, Oliver was shouting something loudly next to him, but Mukseong Kim just beat him up and made him not follow. I’m sorry, but it’s better for this person to just stay still.
Eunsol approached.
“This time, let’s just follow the first route. “Did you just leave the TV room at that time?”
“okay. Basement in the first mansion, main entrance in the second mansion. “This was the TV room.”
Not long after, we all arrived at the TV room together.
Oath! As soon as it started, I pressed mute and opened the way to headquarters.
It took less than 10 minutes to get here.
Cha Jin-cheol shouted as if he was impressed.
“Is it refreshing?”
“Don’t relax. Because we have to start fighting in earnest after entering the headquarters. “Beyond the TV, there are quite a few special forces at headquarters.”
As Kim Muk-seong said, I felt tense as I stood in front of the TV.
The real start starts now! If Gain breaks the seal and finds a way to subdue Beatrix through the chief researcher’s memories, won’t this damn cube be over?
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
Ah, I know, but there is only one way to safely enter the headquarters.
I had to sigh heavily and take out the syringe.
“Please, everyone, give me some money. How dare you suck human blood like this. “You’ve inherited the power of a vampire, so why do you just suck blood?”
