Escaping the Mystery Hotel - Chapter 246
Only Krnovel
Serenade, who had been standing blankly, suddenly laughed.
“What on earth is difficult?”
“…”
“No, you all know how to control Rudach, right? Our ancestors already figured it out 800 years ago and taught us how to do it from generation to generation, right? “Your bureau has also learned from it and is using it well.”
“…”
“We need to transplant it into humans.”
— Clink!
After Serenade broke the water tank, she caught Rudach, the ‘conductor’ inside. Rudach, who was soggy, struggled and wrapped his arms around Serenade. She slowly walked towards her deputy director.
“Well, what is it? “Why are you coming to me?”
“To fuck you.”
“yes? Oh no! There have already been several attempts at transplantation -”
“They’re all dead, right?”
“…”
“There is no way a human would be able to survive after being implanted with a monster like this. So how many people did you kill? “How many people have you killed just to try transplanting this, you crazy bastards?”
“You clearly won’t kill me -”
Before the words were finished, the deputy director’s body became as stiff as stone. Serenade calmly drove a large snail into the deputy director’s body. It didn’t take long for the deputy director’s body to wriggle like jelly.
It wasn’t particularly pitiful. No matter how you think about it, the researchers at this lab have crossed the human line too far. Rather, I felt fortunate that the ‘conductor’ entered the deputy director’s body and came out unharmed.
What should I do now?
At first, I thought about using the escape method I used on Ga-in on myself. The so-called ‘fish transformation’. Of course, I soon realized that it was impossible.
In the scenario, Mr. Ga-in is a being who has not committed any crime against the sea god. Therefore, he was able to avoid the sea god’s wrath by transforming into a pure white fishman. On the other hand, I am a descendant of sinners.
There is also a hypothesis that the problem of ancestors is that the first sin was forgiven, so let’s say so. Regardless of the issue of my ancestors, I am a sinner no matter how I look at it because I even worked at this research institute in the first place.
There was no easy way to escape the sea god’s wrath. Wouldn’t it be better to give up the fish transformation and trust this flute, which is said to weaken the power of the sea god?
If we can somehow control that ‘conductor’ and use the power of the ‘living flutes’ that fill this place, we will be able to suppress the madness that has spread throughout the laboratory. Perhaps we can also stop the ominous force spreading from afar, the descent of the Sea God.
I tried to control it by reaching for the ‘conductor’, but there was no chin. ‘Queen Rudach’, who resides in the bodies of me and Serenade, can dominate and control other weak Rudachs. However, this ‘conductor’ seemed to be at least several times stronger than Queen Rudach. Of course, my command had no effect.
While I was leaning against the wall in a daze, feeling dizzy, Serenade went outside and brought in one after another people who were not affected by the monster wave. And, there were more and more things mixing people and slime around.
…
It’s a wonder I haven’t thrown up yet. Eunsol also said that she sometimes got sick of staying in hotels, but that’s exactly my situation.
When there were about 4 slimes, they grabbed Serenade’s arm.
“Sister, let’s leave it at this. “Anyway, the people in this lab will die if we leave them alone.”
“Then what should we do? “Can we transplant it into our bodies?”
“We already have Rudach. Is it possible to transplant two animals? Think a little more-”
“Elena, did you happen to ‘time travel’ too?”
… Do you still believe the lie that Mr. Gain told? No, if you think about it, it’s not necessarily a lie.
“…”
“You did it too. “It seemed a lot different than before.”
With those words, Serenade looked somewhat let go.
“I’ll give it a try this time. If I fail, please stop me ‘next time’. got it?”
“serenade… .”
“thank god. I’m glad I have you who can time travel. Really – I’m glad.”
I felt the madness in Serenade’s eyes.
The sight of a creature that was believed to be a member of God’s family all its life becoming nothing more than a laboratory rat, numerous test subjects mixed with humans and fish, the advent of the sea god approaching at every moment, and inevitable destruction.
As if this wasn’t enough, between the monster waves that filled the lab and the new humans scattered around like insects, I felt that Serenade had let go of everything. She has already crossed the line that her heart can bear.
Soon, there was one more slime. Now I’m alone in this crazy place.
I leaned against the lab wall in a daze. Really, really left alone. It seems like all the colleagues I trusted and relied on are dead. Let alone my colleagues, there was not a single sane NPC around.
It is truly a miserable atmosphere that is so fitting for the word ‘hell’.
…
Coincidentally, I have the ability to fit this atmosphere perfectly. Disturbing imagination fills the entire laboratory.
Funnily enough, the lab environment was perfect for using my abilities. Even the most positive person in the world would feel like they have fallen into hell in this place.
I just prayed earnestly. May there be salvation for me and everyone.
I hope that the child I will create in this hell will be strong enough to accept the ‘conductor’.
In this way, I hope that I can lead a living brass band and calm all the confusion.
And then, in the darkness, the moth woke up.
