Episode 287 – Room 204, Mission Room – ‘Hotel Cinema’ (10)
– Kim Sang-hyun
The door to the living room opened and a small wooden table came in. I laughed out loud when I looked at the fairly colored meal on top of it. It’s so obvious.
Rather than being obvious, it may be because Songi showed it once. Due to the nature of the movie, uninteresting scenes were omitted without hesitation, so why did the meal scene appear out of nowhere?
As soon as the ‘moving scene’, in which Song Yi had never appeared before, appeared, I felt a sense of discomfort. I hope others will refer to this in the future as well. I can bet money that the meal in front of me is poisonous.
*
“Uhm… . “Please don’t let other people talk like Sanghyun.”
“Regardless of the guy being a bit funny, his advice is persuasive, so everyone should remember it. A scene that wasn’t supposed to appear suddenly appeared? “That in itself is a crisis signal.”
Songi answered in a confident tone.
“There are no uninteresting scenes in the movie! Everyone, please keep this in mind.”
*
After completing the ceremonial explanation, I called a servant outside to check the meal again.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, the outside started to get noisy. Once the ‘poison attempt event’ was prevented, the next order was patrolling the wall and meeting with the generals.
“Tomorrow, in the Plains of Triran -”
“Murtanieh’s army crossed the hill -”
“There was an opinion to rotate, but -”
“Yes you bastard! “I didn’t even think about protecting the walls -”
The generals were very upset. The old man sitting at the head table, probably the commander in chief, had a tired expression on his face.
The story that came out was simple. The enemy commander, Murtanie, had devised a cowardly move, that is, a brilliant plan, and had cut off the supply line and blocked communication with the home country.
As the situation was like this, there was an idea to take a turn and annihilate Murtanie and the nomadic army before it got worse. Of course, there were many opinions that it was reasonable to protect the walls and wait for support from the home country.
From time to time, the generals around me turned their heads towards me as if to ask my opinion.
Given the circumstances, it seems like I can take control of the meeting if I open my mouth in this situation. As he is the main character of the movie, he is given the role of a general who has strong trust from those around him.
But I kept my mouth shut. What do I know about pre-modern warfare in the first place?
If it were a modern war, I would be confident in making noise for three days and nights. However, wars fought with spear knives and modern warfare are too different to be considered the same war. While I was silent, the meeting decided to give Murtanye a close match before it was too late.
Is this decision really wise? I do not know.
I know nothing about the strategies and tactics of pre-modern warfare, and the same goes for everyone else. However, among the options of ‘return and water battle’, I chose rotation, so if I fail, it would be okay for others to choose water battle.
The old man sitting at the head of the table thumped the table! The moment I hit it, the space shook and moved on to the next scene.
*
When I came to my senses, I found myself in the middle of the battlefield riding a huge black horse!
No, did you see this MOTHER FUCKER development! Is this really a hotel bug, you bastards? Even if it’s not a warning before the war starts, prepare your mind –
Let’s calm down. Let’s calm down!
I quickly turned the reins and headed towards the hill behind –
— Whiik!
“Ugh! YOU BASTARD! “Horo cubs without a mother and father are bowing from behind -”
Even though I was a general and wore strong armor, the momentary pain almost brought me to tears. Even the huge black horse I was riding got even more excited and seemed ready to lunge at me.
I’m afraid it’s not a real animal, so I’m like a low-intelligence bastard! It’s up to you whether you search or not.
If you don’t even know how to drive a horse in the first place, what’s the use of riding a horse that’s ready to run into the enemy camp because you can’t control it properly? I got off my horse and started running backwards.
I thought it was ‘unbecoming a general’, but anyway, in this situation, riding a horse I don’t know how to drive would lead to my death, so it would be better to live a little longer.
“General! Wherever you lead us -”
Do you understand?
I ran like crazy, climbed up a hill, took a breath, and looked around the battlefield. The situation clearly revealed in the waving flag –
You don’t know, you bastards!
I’ve never been through such a stupid old-fashioned war in my life, so you’ll understand just by looking at it! Just a dusty landscape, screams filling the world, metal sounds coming from all directions, and the fishy smell of blood. This is the end.
*
“Sir, Mr. Sanghyun?”
Everyone was left speechless by the excited voices and swearing that constantly appeared on the giant screen. Ari, who barely came to his senses, opened his mouth.
“calm down. To us, it’s a narration, but to the people involved, it’s just ‘thoughts’. “The situation is confusing, and it seems like it’s a war zone, so it’s difficult for even you to control your thoughts.”
“You Bastard, ah -, hmmm. “It was said out loud that they were children without parents, right?”
“…”
Mukseong showed an attitude that it was no big deal.
“Well, isn’t it a battlefield? “If you don’t get excited in that situation, you’re not human.”
*
I ran and ran again.
A little while ago, I stepped on something soft and jelly-like under my feet, but I decided not to check. A little while ago, a thick liquid splashed on my cheek, but I didn’t bother to wipe it off.
… I feel like I’m going crazy. What’s the point in just running away like this?
In the end, I leaned against a nearby tree and turned back again. The situation of the war that I could not know before, I now know. Not only am I the only one who knows, but most of the low-ranking soldiers around me don’t know either. This is because we have reached a stage where we cannot know even if we want to.
Unintelligible shouts were heard from all directions. East, West, North. There are only enemies blowing strange horns. Was it a mistake to come down outside the castle walls? Now I don’t know.
A huge shadow appears. He came this way, slaughtering countless soldiers like a farmer harvesting grain.
Durkai’s general, Murtanieh. The horse he was riding had more than 10 heads hanging from it. I recognized some of his dogs. These are the heads of the generals who attended the meeting earlier.
You came to cut off my head. No matter how much I got off my horse and ran away, I couldn’t help but realize that I was of an unusual status. Because the armor they are wearing is different from that of soldiers.
I took a deep breath and reflected on the abilities I had. Medicine? It’s useless in the current situation. Marksmanship? Astronaut abilities? It’s more useless.
… I laughed out loud. I thought I had trained many abilities throughout my life, but in my current situation, I don’t have a single ability that is useful.
“Kwaaaak!”
A scream is heard. I decided not to run away anymore. Shouldn’t we at least die to see how the enemy fights for the sake of our comrades?
Murtanier’s combat power, observed with concentration, was simply absurd.
Blue-black energy emanated from Murtanier’s spear, which spun in a spiral. When he stabbed the air with his spear, a blue-black energy pierced the air and destroyed the soldiers.
What kind of Jedi are you? The power of the Force?
That wasn’t the end. When his spear pierced the ground with a light cheer, the ground in the area shook for an instant and hundreds of soldiers lost their balance and stumbled.
“Taaaat!”
A lion’s rear that shook the heavens and earth exploded from Murtanye’s mouth. The soldiers, who had lost their balance and stumbled, began to lie around, bleeding from their ears.
This is why you lost! This is why I lost! A guy like that runs rampant on a pre-modern battlefield. How can he win, even though he is an empire!
“It’s boring. Is there no one in Jincheon who can take Murtanie’s spear? “Have you discussed the empire and the wall with such power?”
It was a provocation that wasn’t even funny, but there was a general who got caught. In fact, if things continued like this, the war was lost and it was time to do something.
The general shouted bravely and rushed forward, but before he even had time to drink a sip of water, his entire body was cut into pieces by just two stabs. The spear, which rotated like a drill, burst into flames with one blow and crushed the general’s armor and body with one blow.
…
sorry. It looked ugly. To be honest, I had no idea that this was a movie that was coming out like this.
The second movie, Guardians of the Wall, is a bit different from Taming the Prince. Just power. It’s strength. I said earlier that it would be important whether it is a rotation or a water-based battle, right?
When I think about it again, it makes no sense. What would be the point of hiding behind a castle wall from a monster like that? This guy has to break the castle wall with a spear to get in. No matter what choice we make, we will be in conflict with Murtanier.
Someone who can beat that guy needs to come in.
“That sucks. Are you saying you are a general? The day is not far when the Jincheon Empire will fall. “It’s a waste of time to have a window on the main throne.”
Murtanie lightly stretched his hand into the air and clenched his fist. At the same time, his entire body began to crumble.
“Ugh, wow!”
I prayed and prayed in the pain of my limbs being crushed alive.
iced coffee… . Father in heaven. What sin have I committed that you have to suffer like this? I have lived faithfully all my life and saved many people.
So please give me salvation. Please get me out of this hell. If that is not possible, then please kill me.

“…”
“…”
Everyone was speechless in a theater full of silence and a miserable atmosphere so different from the previous movie. At the last moment, the colleagues who heard Kim Sang-hyun’s appeal for losing his ‘poker face’ in pain felt depressed.
“Huh!”
Finally, when people began to cry, Gain felt the need to calm the situation.
“Well, let’s calm down. The doctor is not completely dead. The last words were only said because the pain was so severe. later… . “Let’s comfort each other by eating together later.”
If the guide had come out while making that damn noise, this gloomy atmosphere would have stopped. Unfortunately, the minimum condition for the success of a hotel cinema is ‘survival’.
Even if it was the same failure, Elena survived until the end and was able to receive the judges’ evaluation, but because Sanghyeon died, the judges did not show up at all.
Instead, the screen became opaque and signaled the next person to enter. Instead of paying attention to other people, Ari placed her hand on Cha Jin-cheol’s shoulder.
“Do you think you’ll win?”
“… A guy named Murtanier?”
“huh. This movie is completely different from the first one. Sanghyun understood the situation accurately in the end. It’s not a movie about some kind of scheme. If you really consider the genre… .”
“It’s a martial arts movie, an action movie. “There may be times when you have to use your brain to do something, but basically you have to compete against a strong opponent and win.”
Cain made an important point.
“There is a more terrible point. “Do you know that only 30 minutes have passed since the movie started?”
“There are more than two hours left.”
“In an action movie, does the final boss appear 30 minutes into the movie?”
“… There must be an even bigger monster waiting behind you.”
Ga-in looked back at Ari and muttered.
“We made a big mistake.”
“huh?”
“I think Elena should have gone in here. “Murtanier’s fighting power shown on screen was great, but it wasn’t so much that Elena couldn’t overpower him.”
“Let’s stop talking about the past. “More than that, looking at the situation, it is a meaningless waste of time for a certain number of people to enter.”
Ga-in nodded. In this type of movie, for example, the entrance of silence or Eunsol has no meaning. It wouldn’t be surprising if Murtanie pierced them both to death with a single spear shot while he was dozing off.
Even if it is Seung-yeop, it is not much different. Luck can sometimes exert uncanny power, but it is not a power without limits. If it were truly infinite, Seungyeop would have already acquired a couple of inheritances.
Among the members who still have a chance, the only three who can face such a being are Han Ga-in, Cha Jin-cheol, and Kim Ari. Considering that even more powerful beings are waiting behind that being, the situation becomes even more threatening.
After thinking for a while, Gain expressed a cautious opinion.
“My ability is similar to a kind of instant death. If it works, you will definitely win, and if it doesn’t work, you will definitely lose. So, everything depends on whether possession works or not.”
“Do you think possession won’t work on Murtanie?”
“no. Honestly, that’s not it. Unless you are a being of demigod status, you cannot resist possession, but Murtanier did not seem to be of that high rank. “What I’m worried about is what comes after that.”
At that time, Cha Jin-cheol opened his mouth.
“Let me go and see.”
“…”
“Well, I don’t know just by looking at the video, but aren’t martial arts masters or anything else ultimately human? “If I take the blessing and beat it with my teeth, I think I’ll die.”
“When I swung the spear, a black tornado flew around?”
“You can just avoid it.”
As everyone’s eyes focused on Cha Jin-cheol, Cha Jin-cheol joked slightly.
“Why is everyone like this? Isn’t this the movie that best suits my abilities? I find horror movies more burdensome and I dislike them. Obviously, in a horror movie, an absurd monster appears and places a strange curse. “Rather than meet a guy like that and die without even swinging a punch, I’d rather compete with that Murtanier.”
With those words, Jincheol looked around. Some people have a sorry look, others have a worried look. It was as if something so difficult and painful had to be left to him.
In it –
Jincheol felt memories of long-forgotten madness bubbling up. No. 101, the first experience of media that changes common sense. Memories of struggle filled with flesh, blood and bones.
Wasn’t there a moment when his hands broke the neck and crushed the limbs of his enemy? There was a time long ago when a broken piece of wood, a tonpa, was used to pierce the enemy’s uvula.
Strangely enough, I didn’t feel bad. Instead, she was filled with a sense of elation that she couldn’t even recognize. I wanted to go into movies right away. He depicted himself twisting his neck to avoid Murtanier’s spear.
“I will go in. Guide! I am a blessing. “You can’t use stars without blessings anyway.”
As he walked towards the screen, a strange sound of laughter came to his ears. A throne full of swords, lava, and skulls. I felt the illusion of a giant sitting on top of me. He heard a delighted laugh at the fighting spirit of the warrior he had chosen.
