After my grandfather’s sudden death, a meeting was held among the remaining people to discuss progress. After a long meeting, we were able to come up with our own direction for Park Soo-mi’s ‘Newlywed Memories’.

Eunsol, who was writing down the meeting details on the whiteboard, was the first to voice her opinion.

“Let’s start with the most important part. The last movie starts right away with the three people excluding us meeting drama writer Do In-ho, right? “At first glance, it seems like a meaningless introduction, but it actually contains a very important hint.”

Ari nodded.

“All three are alive and well.”

“That’s it. There was no one alive or disabled. Given the circumstances, all three are ordinary people. In other words, the strange stories in movies have scenarios in which ordinary people can escape unharmed.”

I also opened my mouth.

“Are you saying we shouldn’t overuse inheritance or blessings?”

“yes. I think legacy and blessings are a last resort. You wrote it because your grandfather was caught by a murderer couple at the end and was on the verge of being murdered, right? “Isn’t that exactly what it feels like?”

My thoughts are a little different, but since Eunsol-noona is now at the point where she is entering, I refrained from saying anything. In the end, those who enter will do as they think.

“I have a general understanding of ‘Newlywed Memories.’ I have a keen sense of what my grandfather missed and how we should proceed. The problem is next… .”

Next, I honestly have no idea about ‘Demon Girl’. In the first place, the grandfather died within a minute, so all we found out was that the setting was a high school.

“There is no choice. I will find out more, and then Seungyeop will find out more and wake up. “But there is something uneasy about it.”

“What is it?”

“My tools. Everything will go in safely, right?”

I wasn’t worried about that part. This is because her grandfather was able to use the ‘arms of a warrior’ even though he had turned into a young woman in her 20s. I think my sister’s tools will also get inside in some way.

In the first place, hotel compensation is something that is meant to be used. Choosing between inheritance and blessing has nothing to do with tools that are neither, and it is normal to be able to use them if there is nothing to say.

My sister drank three cups of cold water with a somewhat nervous expression and then walked towards the screen. The choice was, of course, Legacy, ‘Flute of Rest’.

Phew… . It’s starting now.

The initial progression is the same as what you saw in the movie. I woke up in the downtown area and moved to a coffee shop, where I met the writer Do In-ho, who presided over the meeting, the noble lady Park Soo-mi, the female student Han Yu-ri, and Cha Eun-pyo, whom I don’t know yet.

Soon after, Do In-ho pointed out ‘Park Soo-mi’ as before and asked her to talk. At that moment, she remembered the words Do In-ho had said when her grandfather passed: ‘Let’s try again later.’

Since the grandfather couldn’t wake up normally, did this mean that the ‘next person’ should wake up again? What if I wake up normally? Does the next person skip the story that ended normally and start from there?

At that time, the space shook and the first story began.

*

– First story, memories of newlyweds

As soon as the story started, I checked the status of ‘my tools’. Badges and brooches were attached near my chest and on my head like ordinary decorations. The chef’s hat was in his handbag.

As expected, all the tools came. As I slowly stretched out my hand, the flute appeared and disappeared without a problem.

“… I should at least bring a kitchen knife, just in case.”

The progress in the beginning was the same as it was in my grandfather’s time. Park Sang-ho expressed that she wanted to go to her hometown, and she agreed because she thought there was no point in interfering with the scenario itself. Three days later, I arrived at the country house where a crazy old couple lived.

“Hello, mother.”

“baby! “I heard it often from my friend and me.”

“Oh my! Mutual, you bastard! How did you get such a pretty and true girl? “This lady is old, and her eyes are bright!”

“father… .”

After realizing that the old couple were serial killers, I almost laughed out loud during this short conversation.

What happened afterwards was similar. The young man, who was said to be her husband’s younger brother, looked at Park Soo-mi in fascination and then ran away, and the sullen sister-in-law showed a strange reaction. She came all the way here.

From now on, we must proceed differently from what our grandfather did.

In the evening, the grandfather went to the ‘kitchen’ in the countryside and found it strange when he saw the behavior of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who did not even allow them to touch the tools around them. What was the reason?

Ari found a surprisingly simple answer.

Why is my husband’s parents’ home in such a remote countryside? Of course, this is to hide the serial murders from the outside world.

However, due to the geographical problem of being in a secluded location, there are not many tools in this house and the house is not very large. This means that there cannot be a separate, grand facility for torturing, killing, and cleaning up people.

To put it simply, the ‘kitchen’ is a place where tools for killing people are stored and also a place where corpses are disposed of. So, in order to hide the crime, I had no choice but to block my access as an outsider. There may have been a reason to prevent the prey from obtaining weapons.

So instead of going to the kitchen and provoking the killers, I moved to another location while they were preparing for their early morning ‘killing mission’.

…

I thought about it as I walked. What was the secret to a helpless girl in her 20s escaping from this hell inhabited by a serial murderer?

That is, ‘collaborator’.

— Squeak!

I approached the barn where the young man had appeared and slowly opened the door. Indeed, the place that looked like a livestock barn was not a livestock barn, but a place where people lived who were treated like livestock.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The young man was sitting on a pile of dirty, dirty cloth, doing chores. As soon as I entered, he was startled and made the sound of boiling phlegm, and motioned for me to quickly get out.

Hmm… . As expected, they didn’t respond as soon as I entered. Have you been brainwashed in this hell for a long time?

In that case, it may be necessary to stimulate a little ‘manly instinct’. It is probably no coincidence that Park Soo-mi is a great beauty.

“oh! young master? What the hell is this place… . Are you being punished?”

As he approached the young man, he was startled and fell backwards. He deliberately brought his face close to him, then took out a wet towel from his handbag and wiped the young man’s face.

“Why would such a handsome person be so dirty! “Please stay still.”

“Turn it off… .”

I guessed it, but I can’t say it. Did they even cut out her tongue? She didn’t bother to open her mouth.

Park Soo-mi was truly quite a beauty and had an elegant aura. In other words, she was the type of ‘city girl’ that country bachelors would think of as their ideal type.

Naturally, the young man’s face immediately turned red and he didn’t know what to do. After being kind for a while, eh! To be honest, I was ‘tempting’ and waiting for the right time.

Hey, isn’t it normal to think of something when you see a pretty girl like this?

… Honestly, I’m glad it’s not my real body right now.

In the end, the moment came when the male instinct overcame the killer’s brainwashing. The trembling young man handed over a small piece of paper from his pocket.

“This… . “It’s a ‘letter’ that Mr. Sang-ho sent home.”

It became clear that some of the various scenarios we had imagined out there were correct. I looked at the letter with meaningful eyes and then took a look at the young man.

The young man trembled as if he was afraid of his actions, then picked up the black dirt on the floor and wrote letters in his hand.

‘Run away.’

Boy, I know this place is dangerous.

“Master, I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden. You’re too playful. Besides, how can I run away alone in a country like this?”

At those words, the young man opened his eyes wide and did not know what to do.

“I’ll just leave.”

The moment I left the barn, the young man tried to grab my clothes as if he had something more to say, but stopped. He might need some more time to think about it too.

The content of the letter was simple.

‘I saved my wife again. I really like it this time.’

*

Late at night, I quietly opened my handbag while looking at Park Sang-ho who was sleeping next to me. The ‘kitchen knife’ brought from Seoul is contained in a letter envelope.

I guess we’ll see the outcome soon. There is no need to wait for the other person to target me. It would be nice if ‘Bob’ had also finished mentally preparing.

— Sigh!

Now in one shot –

— Pow! Clink!

Suddenly, Park Sang-ho, who was lying next to me, stood up and kicked me! This guy, were you pretending to sleep?

“her! No way, I did it. I heard you suddenly stopped by the barn during the day, so I thought it was impossible. Did that dirty bastard even flutter his snout? No, he pulled out his tongue right away, so there’s no way his snout could open… .”

“Ugh… !”

“Sumi, can you do it with just one knife? Ha, really… . A woman is supposed to be obedient, but it’s a shame. “Come in!”

The wall flipped over and an old couple came in.

“haha… . City dear, you are disappointed. “I don’t know why kids these days are so cute.”

“You too, just tie it up and pull out a few teeth and you’ll become cute right away?”

“Draw it?”

I thought as I stood up, leaning on the floor.

Their attitude right now is just relaxed. Well, it’s even more strange that two old men and a strong adult man who are accustomed to life in the countryside are scared of a young woman in her 20s.

Is it a failure? Did I also fail the first story like this?

“baby? Do you have anything to say? “I’m already scared – why are you wearing a hat all of a sudden?”

“Maw ripe!”

“What-”

“It would be better to just grind up your trash life and use it as livestock feed.”

As they threw out swear words at random as they came to mind, the three of them froze like stones at the same time, as if they were in a trance! Now is the time!

“Eight!”

I stretched out the kitchen knife that had fallen on the floor and swung it towards my mother-in-law who was right in front of me. Thanks to the effect of the chef’s charisma, the old woman, who was as hard as stone, was unable to resist even once and ended up with a huge hole in her neck.

“Ugh! you! “He suddenly started talking nonsense so I said something and -”

Has it been released already? I was hoping I could kill at least two!

I kicked the door open and ran out, avoiding the hands of my ‘husband’ and ‘father-in-law’ who started moving slowly. I thought as I ran down a dark dirt road in the countryside that wasn’t even illuminated by the moon.

Surely you wouldn’t say that wearing a hat once ruined the plot? You’re not even wearing a transparent badge or a butterfly brooch? Honestly, it’s a shame to judge yourself as a failure just by wearing a hat once!

It’s not like I killed them all with my mighty hands like my grandfather did. If an elegant city girl who seems to never swear once in her life suddenly spits out two curses, even if it’s not just a hat, she can turn into a stone in shock.

So, please take a look at the hat at least once! Understand?
