After somehow finishing the second episode amidst the confusion, I was finally able to meet the doctor and Jincheol again. Unlike the doctor, who seemed to have some sense of hurt pride but was grateful for saving his life, his brother’s reaction was one of ’emptiness’ itself.
“and… . What is it really? I was so immersed that I thought there was no moment in my life that shined brighter than this… .”
As we watched, we also felt that my brother was extremely immersed in the movie. I was immersed in it and thought it was a shining moment in my life, but when they suddenly added a hair growth ending at the end, what did I think?
After the grandfather smiled and comforted his older brother, he decided to go to the first floor and rest.
“brother! Now that you think about it, what was the transformation during the movie? He suddenly turned into some kind of black leopard. A blessing from the founder of the empire?”
Jincheol looked at me with an expression that asked me what on earth I was talking about.
“What are you talking about? “What kind of transformation?”
Everyone’s steps stopped.
*
It’s a strange thing.
My brother had no idea that he had been ‘transformed’ at all, and was even more surprised when he told me that his skin had turned into black scales on the kurta’s body.
“No, that’s why the hair growth product commercial came out at the end? “Do I have to make hair because my hair disappears when my body transforms?”
My sister agreed.
“I think so.”
“Ha fuck! Are you ruining the ending for that reason? “No, aside from what happened in the past, why can’t I remember anything?”
“As we were watching the movie, we felt that the scene was edited out, but we didn’t know that you didn’t know anything either.”
In this situation, there is only one ability that is useful.
[Advice: 3 -> 2]
‘Why did Cha Jin-cheol lose his memories of transformation?’
[This is nothing more than a useless act of someone with narrow vision. There is no need to worry.]
“What is this answer again?”
Because the attention of those around me was flocking to me, I relayed the content as is. While everyone was tilting their heads for a moment, Ari gave a cheerful response.
“Let’s go get something to eat!”
“…”
“You say there’s no need to worry? “It means that it is not a very important issue in the eyes of the sponsor.”
*
During the meal, Ari opened his mouth with an amused expression on his face.
“Everyone listen to me. Any changes that occur in our bodies within the cursed chamber are reset when we come out. “The changes that Jincheol went through also disappeared as if they were natural since they were shown in the movie.”
“It seems like the mission room is similar to the curse room in that respect.”
“If you go outside, your hair will grow back anyway, so why did they forcefully include an ad for a hair growth product?”
… Is that so?
After listening to it, I found Ari’s words persuasive. Let’s say that when you defeat Kurta, you are eligible to obtain ‘Fighter’s Fur that Can Withstand Wall Force’.
If the problem is that your brother’s hair has disappeared due to scales forming on his body, just give it to him after he goes outside. There is no reason to bother inserting a hair growth product advertisement during the movie.
“It’s simple. This is because the principle is to give it while the movie is in progress. “Then why did such a principle arise?”
If there is a principle that wing boots should be rewarded within the movie, the question is resolved, but the next question arises. Why is there such a strange principle in the first place?
Eunsol, who had been listening up to this point, suddenly put down her spoon with a disgusted expression on her face.
“… I just had a terrible idea.”
Ari responded immediately.
“If it’s a terrible idea, it’s probably right. “I’m thinking the same thing.”
Grandpa looked tired.
“Don’t just keep it to yourself, tell me about it too.”
“Grandpa, the material for wing boots… . Maybe it’s all ‘our bodies’?”
In an instant, there was silence around. My sister continued speaking with a gloomy expression.
“The identity of the fighter’s hair, which can withstand even the force of a wall, was Jincheol’s hair that withstood being attacked by lightning by a kurta.”
Songi muttered with her mouth half open.
“Are the wing feathers of the bird flying through the typhoon the feathers of Perot?”
I opened my mouth in great confusion.
“No, it’s okay to pull out hair and feathers, so what about eyeballs? “Pull out my eyeballs?”
My sister muttered with an increasingly gloomy expression.
“So there is a principle that Ari realized. Compensation should be given within the movie, more precisely, ‘in a place where the injury disappears as soon as you escape.’ You have to gouge out your eyeballs inside the movie or inside the Chamber of the Damned. Then you will recover as soon as you go outside.”
understood. If the reward is given outside the room, feathers or hair may not be the answer, but eyeballs are not the answer. Of course, we also have the means to treat injuries outside the room. This is room 105 and the doctor.
But it’s not like cutting off a finger, it’s an eyeball. Relying on only 105 or a doctor to remove an eye is too risky.
… Somehow, I felt like I knew ‘whose eyes’ I should pluck out.
Because among us, there is only one who possesses ‘special eyes’ enough to be mentioned in such a reward. While everyone was looking at their older sister, who had her head down with an ominous premonition, unable to open their mouths, a lively voice was heard.
“Let’s try it!”
“Grandpa?”
“You can’t just pull out an eyeball, right? Moreover, even if your hypothesis is correct, Eunsol cannot be selected at any time, but must be selected ‘while observing all things from the peak,’ but the conditions themselves are complicated.”
“That’s it… .”
“So we need to test whether the hypothesis is correct. That one! That cheeky parrot! Throw it into the typhoon!”
— Beep!
The parrot, which had been dozing off throughout the movie, was so startled that it screamed. His grandfather looked happier than ever.
“As soon as I see something that resembles a typhoon, I’ll throw it right away, so don’t worry, everyone. “Pero, all I have to do is pull out the same number of hairs on my hair as he has pulled out!”
“Ha, grandpa! “That’s gross animal abuse!”
“Song, have you forgotten that that guy has been abusing my hair all these years?”
Songi no longer opened her mouth.

Around evening, we talked with everyone about whether or not we would go to the movies tomorrow. This is because the guide even warned us that horror movies would be on a different level.
Eunsol’s older sister expressed her opinion.
“The guide spoke in a rather threatening manner… . In fact, it is equally dangerous to go to the cursed room. Besides, there are a lot of us left, right?”
I answered immediately.
“Yes. “There are five people left, including me, Ari, Seungyeop, my older sister, and my grandfather.”
“Anyway, isn’t ‘Hotel Cinema’ a bit easy? I felt that way. “I beat both the first and second movies in just two attempts.”
Ari nodded.
“that’s right. I also feel that hotel cinema is a bit easy. “I think I know why.”
“reason?”
Ari glanced in the direction of the doctor and opened his mouth.
“All nine of us are alive and well.”
The teacher chuckled.
“okay. That’s really big. Imagine that, like in the previous party, two people died on the first floor, and after coming to the second floor and fighting again, two people died, and four or five people entered the cinema. “There is already one chance left.”
My head nodded automatically.
“There is that aspect. I thought it was a solo play where we couldn’t help each other, but in that respect, it’s a team play. “If the relationship has been good so far, does it get easier because there are more opportunities?”
Elena also brought up another story.
“Being able to persuade the judges is also important. Actually, both times were originally failures, right? I passed it by insisting on it. “The souvenir lady is surprisingly easy to communicate with, and the guide doesn’t seem to be able to use pressure in public.”
Grandpa sighed.
“In that respect, that merchant was the biggest bastard. “He just can’t be persuaded.”
“Well, if only the other two pass, you will pass.”
Everyone’s opinion was that the hotel cinema was easier than expected, and let’s go in tomorrow too. Since I had some advice left, I asked. Of course, he didn’t ask about the movie’s content. Because I won’t answer those questions.
[Advice: 2 -> 1]
‘Any notes on the last movie? ‘I’m not asking about the content.’
[Ask the guide in detail why horror movies are difficult.]
“uh?”
“What does the owl say?”
“They asked me to ask them in detail why horror movies are difficult?”
“Hmm… . “What does it mean?”
I thought about it here and there, but couldn’t come up with an easy answer.
“I asked you to ask, so let’s ask tomorrow. “I have no choice but to do so.”
It’s not a problem that can be answered by thinking about it among ourselves, so we decided to ask tomorrow. The final topic of the meeting was ‘Who wants to go in first?’ This time his grandfather displayed a gloomy demeanor.
“I’ll go in first.”
“…”
“Now you know it. It is better for those who are likely to break to go to the bottom of the list. “Anyway, the person who is having a hard time breaking it has to go first and find out some variables before dying.”
Eunsol’s older sister intervened.
“Not to mention Ga-in and Ariya, even Seung-yeop’s ‘luck’ is obviously a skill that would be useful in a horror movie, so it’s a low priority. So, it’s right for me and my grandfather to go in first… . “Why don’t I just go first?”
“You have a legacy, right? “You’re better than me, so you should go in behind.”
“Is there any guarantee that the legacy will be helpful?”
“It’s a horror movie? How could a legacy that neutralizes mental attacks not help? “You’re self-harming so much.”
“Is that so?”
It was decided that the first person to enter tomorrow would be my grandfather. This concludes today’s meeting.

Late at night, as I was looking at the snow field on the second floor, I saw a snowstorm that was much less severe than before, but was enough to blur my vision, and I had a strange thought. Isn’t a blizzard a type of typhoon?
As it happened, there was one piece of advice left.
[Advice: 1 -> 0]
‘Speaking of wing boot material, couldn’t I just throw the pero in there and pull out the feathers?’
You can pluck the feathers anyway, right? Wouldn’t it be a hassle to pluck out a parrot’s feathers while going through an ordeal in the Chamber of Curses?
[… give it a try.]
This didn’t seem to be the case.
*
The next day, we came back into room 204 to tackle the last movie. Following the owl’s advice, when we asked why horror movies were difficult, the guide answered obediently.
“What? Now all of a sudden?”
“haha! Miss Eunsol, why are you doing this? If you think about it, it’s not that unusual of a change. “Don’t you feel like this is a special privilege?”
“What a privilege!”
“It’s a privilege. In the previous two episodes, you received ‘excessive benefits’ that did not exist in the Room of the Cursed. Now we’re just reaping the benefits.”
“…”
“You don’t have to be too afraid. Rather, isn’t this a more familiar condition to you? “The Chamber of Curses has always been like this.”
The last movie, ‘Scary Stories’, takes place in ‘real time’.
“So far, you’ve been able to gauge where you are based on the movie’s running time. When a scene that ‘looks’ like an ordinary scene appears, you can predict that there will be a hidden crisis. Now these benefits are gone.”
“…”
“The audience outside, of course, sees the film after it has been edited. However, for those who go inside, it is real time. Five hours, 10 hours may pass, or a week may pass. “There are no scenes omitted, so there is no easy way to know whether or not the situation is currently in crisis.”
“…”
“But this is the mission room. You still have the option of retreating. Would you like to step back? “How about going to another room?”
“Just don’t go in. “What do you mean by changing?”
“Then let us begin. “Participant Kim Muk-seong, please come in.”
As promised, the grandfather went forward with a stern expression. The movie ‘Scary Stories’ has begun.
