Episode 205 – Party Time – Last Meeting (1)
– Eunsol Lee
With those words, everyone started to feel tense for the first time in a long time. It’s been quite a while since I went into the cursed room. Usually, after solving the room of curses, you had to enter the next room of curses within 2 to 3 days, but this time, the middle period was quite long due to the use of the 3-day rest ticket in the hell of the maze.
“Room 104, Hotel Go. Everyone remember? “Me, my grandfather, and Jincheol played the role of ‘teachers,’ and the rest were students.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”
Sanghyun Kim has never experienced room 104. Everyone summarized what happened in Room 104 as they remembered and told it to Kim Sang-hyun.
We started out as teachers and students at school. A strange system that pushes students to their limits with daily paper tests and physical fitness tests, and sends those who fail to their old school. Even the fear of being replaced by someone else every time one person returned to the old school.
Seungyeop, who had been listening intently for a while as if he had forgotten something, spoke with an expression of disbelief.
“Wouldn’t the scenario change like it did in the Mansion of Horror? Because characters were added.”
Ari seemed to disagree.
“Isn’t the situation different from back then? At that time, my grandfather and I, who were NPCs inside the cursed room, had joined as colleagues, so I think it was inevitable that the scenario would need to be drastically revised. “This time, there is absolutely no scenario-related connection between the hotel doctor and the hotel school.”
“is that so?”
“I think Kim Sang-hyun will simply have a role within Hotel Go. For example, a math teacher?”
Sanghyun Kim nodded.
“I think so. “I think I will also participate in the role of a teacher.”
The grandfather wrote it down on the whiteboard in large letters so as not to forget it.
“Everyone, don’t forget this.”
‘Klitschko’s way of treating his father’
Hint from issue 106. Its meaning has not yet been fully revealed. As the meeting began in earnest, she spoke as if she was worried about Elena.
“Is it okay to have a meeting without Mr. Gain? Apart from delivering the conclusion tomorrow, I have had quite a few roles so far… .”
It seems like Elena didn’t understand exactly why I sent Ga-in to rest. When she turned her head just in case, she saw Ari and her grandfather, who were also smiling awkwardly. As expected, these two people are quick to notice this part.
“Hmm. greatness.”
“Grandpa, please tell me.”
“Elena, Ga-in should definitely be absent from this meeting. “It was a good time to rest because I was sick, but even if I was fine, it was still a good time to rest.”
After hearing that, Elena also looked like she realized something.
“ah! I forgot. “What is the biggest threat to Room 104?”
“yes? yes?”
Ari explained it to Seungyeop, who still wondered what this meant.
“The reason we’ve been feeling uneasy about No. 104 is because of the strange characteristics of the Lord’s Advent, right? It’s so different from legacy. When I think back on Ga-in’s characteristics when he wrote Advent, it was as if an arrogant angel had appeared in a human body. as it were.”
“It seems like Joo Ga-in was manipulating that guy. And we are concerned that the phenomenon will happen again in Room 104. In other words, one of the biggest dangers in Room 104 is Han Ga-in, and of course she shouldn’t know about our plans.”
“ah! That’s right… . “Do I really need to go to a room like that?”
As soon as he understood the situation, Seungyeop’s expression became anxious and he showed that he did not want to go to room 104. Room 104, a hotel that works hard day and night to induce conflict between us, may be the ultimate king.
Ari summarized it briefly.
“That’s why we’ve been avoiding room 104 for so long. However, this time, there was a penalty due to abuse of Wisdom’s sponsor’s advice. “I need to go at least once to get that penalty kicked into room 104.”
Ari’s position is clear from the beginning. The intention is not to go in to solve No. 104, but to force the penalty into No. 104 and use it as a hand to discard No. 104.
At this point, I expressed my opinion again.
“ruler! Whether you resolve Room 104 or use it as a discard, you have to go to Room 104 and do something anyway. We need to think about three things. First, what does the hint mean? Second, how can I escape? Third, what are the measures against Han Ga-in?”
Songi answered right away.
“I was thinking about it earlier. Wouldn’t the first letter always be ‘daughter’?”
“I can’t think of any other words. Here, ‘father’ is ‘lord’ in the context. “There happens to be one person in room 104 who can call you father.”
“Aurelia, guide. When interpreting father, the first letter unconditionally refers to the daughter, Aurelia.”
Ari said in retort.
“Don’t jump to conclusions based on what we know about Room 104. “If you go in and proceed further, more unknown beings may appear.”
“That also makes sense. Let’s just summarize that the first ㅁ is a daughter and the target is likely to be Aurelia, and then look at the next letter. How to play ㅁㅁ. “What are these two letters?”
Here everyone looked confused. There are many candidates. There are so many. Are there one or two two-letter words that could come from a relationship between a daughter and a father?
“Honestly, aren’t there a lot of candidates?”
Kim Sang-hyun, who had been quiet, opened his mouth.
“As it stands now, just adding any word makes sense. It can be interpreted as meaning to break that trust by adding ‘trust’, or it can be interpreted as meaning to use that love by adding ‘love’. “Can I give my opinion?”
“From now on, stop saying things like that and just say it. “You are a colleague.”
“thank you. As for the second word, let’s just skip it without making any conclusions right now. “There is too little information gathered to confirm the second word.”
Cha Jin-cheol agreed.
“I feel the same way. This word is ambiguous in a state of uncertainty! “If we make a decision between ourselves and get it wrong, we may continue to think of the wrong word and distort our judgment.”
“good. Let’s stop discussing the second word. Let’s move on to the next story. Escape scenario. First of all, Ari, who escaped on the first attempt, please summarize the experience.”
Ari remembered for a moment and explained what happened in the past. It’s a pretty fun story to hear again.
Ga-in infiltrated the old school building, confronted Aurelia, and stabbed her with a knife, rendering Aurelia unable to move. Meanwhile, Ari used hypnosis to go on a rampage inside the school, causing a large fire, and even reported it himself. In the end, as fire trucks and police arrived from outside and the situation escalated, the hotel high school gave up on Ari, and the moment Ari was imprisoned and the possibility of returning to school disappeared, the decision to escape was made.
After giving a rough summary, Ari expressed his opinion again.
“I think we can escape in a similar way this time. “The cultists of the Nine Temples are a strictly secretive organization, so if an incident of such magnitude occurs that the whole world is shocked, they may not be able to respond easily.”
Kim Sang-hyeon, who was listening intently, made a sharp point.
“This is an excellent and creative plan! However, is there a way to secure one person’s escape more quickly? As you know, if one person escapes right from the start, the remaining people can safely explore the cursed room with their survival guaranteed.”
Sanghyun Kim’s opinion is valid. In fact, this is the tactic we used in ‘Common Sense Change Media’. As soon as it started, Seung-yeop escaped, and then the others searched the broadcasting station and hospital.
It would be nice if the same method could be used in room 104… . Is there an escape method that can be used right from the start?
Seungyeop cautiously opened his mouth.
“It’s a bit of a story.”
“That’s good. “In a crazy place, the crazier the story, the better it goes.”
“As soon as I start, am I going to beat up the kids around me?”
Kim Sang-hyun tilted his head.
“Won’t you just get caught as an old teacher?”
“It goes beyond the level of discipline within the school. “He was beaten half to death with a chair.”
“aha! “Are you going to cause an accident that would cause the police to come to school from the first day?”
“yes.”
“If this were Earth, just this conversation would have made me think that Seung-yeop needed honest advice, but since the location is a hotel, I think Seung-yeop is very smart.”
“thank you… .”
Cha Jin-cheol, who was listening, also expressed his opinion.
“Aha, is it the ‘that side’ story? “I’m confident if I put my mind to it, but it would be difficult if I did it myself.”
“It would be difficult if other owners of the estate other than you were in charge of escaping. “I have to stay and uncover the secrets of the old temple.”
“Let’s prepare several ways to escape. As soon as Seung-yeop started, he decided to bust a bone with the guy next to him, “Grandpa?”
“Should I beat up a teacher too?”
“If my grandfather lifts a teacher with his arms and throws him out the window, he will be immediately caught by the police special forces.”
“It’s just right.”
Songi expressed a slightly different opinion.
“I felt it while listening. Doesn’t bringing in outside forces seem like a good thing, separate from escape? Hotel High’s social group cares about public power in that world.”
“What are you going to do?”
“For example, I showed the illusion that there was a way out of the window and made the children jump out of the window as a group.”
Slowly, Kim Sang-hyun naturally began to express his opinions among us.
“Shall I try my own trick? “For example, how about secretly touching their muscles every time they pass by, inflicting permanent physical disabilities on about 5 or 6 people and forcing the 119 rescue team to come?”
…
What would I think if someone I didn’t know well eavesdropped on our meeting? I guess it’s good. This is what hotels are supposed to be.
“I just got a great idea!”
“sister? “What is it?”
“The vice principal likes to drink coffee, and he keeps making me drink it. “Let’s add a little bit of Ari’s blood to that coffee.”
Ari was impressed.
“Then I manipulate the vice principal and make him do crazy things?”
“That’s it.”
This kind of meeting lasted until late at night. After summarizing the tactics for escaping and ways to bring in external forces to diminish Hotel High’s social group, we moved on to the next story.
“last! Now the most important part. “Let’s talk about the ‘Son of Heaven.’”
Kim Sang-hyun, who has now completely merged into us, immediately asked a question.
“Let me start with a question. There are still many things I don’t know, so please understand. Roughly how strong is the being called the ‘Son of Heaven’? “I think we need to respond differently depending on whether we can suppress that entity or not.”
The strength of the Son of Heaven… . Everyone’s memories rushed towards the past.
