It was a great meal.
I only ate spaghetti and steak, so I’m not sure about the other foods, but I can say that these two were delicious.
Even before the meal, I felt like my head was spinning with confusion, fear, and anger, but after eating my fill and delicious food, I thought it was all good as the food came out well.
Looking at things like this, are people ultimately animals?
Looking at everyone’s expressions, it seems like their thoughts are not that different from mine, and they look satisfied.
Around that time, I looked at my watch just in case. Lunch time is from 12:00 to 1:30, the current time is around 1:24.
There were only about 6 minutes left until meal time ended.
There was someone else besides me who checked the watch.
“Well, it looks like everyone ate roughly. Shouldn’t we move to a new location?”
“Hmm… Eunsol, why don’t we just talk here more? “I think there will be some coffee or something.”
“We all experienced it earlier, right? After meal time, we will no longer be able to see each other like before.
Because it is a great hotel that protects ‘privacy’. I don’t know why such a great place kidnapped us, but… Anyway, we still have a lot to talk about.
I need to move location. How are you, Jincheol? “Is your arm okay now?”
“It’s okay now. It was a little scratched. And I agree with what you said.
We still have many decisions to make. “Let’s start with what to do right away… and then move to a new location.”
“It’s true that we should move, but where should we go? “If you go outside, the monster will be there again, and each person in the room will disappear again at 1:30…”
At that moment, a notice appeared.
Dear customers! Did you enjoy your meal? Our Hotel Pioneer prepares fresh ingredients every day and prepares the food with the skill of a carefully selected chef to ensure a great meal for our guests.
We hope you always enjoy your meal.
Today’s surprise event: There are no bad animals in the world. has ended.
We were all temporarily speechless.
“This is a very timely notice to the conversation.”
“Very… timely. At this rate, I actually feel like something in this hotel is watching us at every moment.
“When I started talking about monsters, the event ended as if I had been waiting… Does that mean it’s safe outside now?”
“There are no bad animals. If a monkey that runs around with a knife trying to eat people is not a bad animal, then what on earth is a bad animal?
This hotel is really going crazy. “What on earth did you do to come to a place like this?”
“Animals are naturally afraid when they see people, so they sometimes become somewhat violent.
Is it really an extreme defensive action that comes about because they are more scared than just being evil and violent? With that feeling…”
Do you like animals? Songi’s answer is somewhat unexpected.
“No, the ‘defensive action’ that Miss Song is thinking of includes the monkey stabbing my arm with a knife? “Is there such a ‘defense’ in the world?”
When Cha Jin-cheol, who was already intimidating just because of his size, raised his voice, Songi, who had always looked timid, shrank back and felt like a turtle.
When Cha Jin-cheol saw that, he could not hide his embarrassment.
“Huh… no, I mean, that’s just the way it is. No… no, first of all, I have a loud voice.
I’m sorry. “After getting stabbed earlier, I got a little angry thinking about the monkey… I didn’t say anything to Ms. Songi.”
I guess this guy has a better personality than I thought.
“now! There is only one minute left now. Let’s all get up and go out! “We need to go out and talk.”
Suddenly, Eunsol shouted confidently, like the leader of the group.
It felt very natural, and I didn’t feel any resistance. This is not simply a matter of this sister being the oldest among us.
Something… This person is naturally accustomed to controlling and leading someone. I had that feeling.
Everyone naturally got up at Eunsol’s shout, walked out of the restaurant, and opened the door to room 105.
[I understood a little about my colleague.]
Clean.
Strangely enough, the outside was very clean.
It seems like they were fighting monsters in the morning, throwing all sorts of things at them…
Are you saying that the ‘shy employees’ have cleaned it all up?
In fact, it seems that the traces of the scuffle were not something that could be resolved by ‘cleaning up’, but were in need of large-scale repairs.
It’s surprising. Now there is no need to question every strange thing.
As I walked towards the front desk, I saw drinks and refreshments set up on the table opposite the front desk.
The number of people was just right, and there was a mix of coffee, juice, and soda. As if they were considerate of people with different tastes.
“Hehe… These people are so meticulous. How much shame do these meticulous people have that they can’t even see a single hair?
“I have more than one question to ask, even if I just grab my collar and shake it as soon as it comes out.”
“It’s more than just ridiculous… it’s a little creepy.”
“Does it taste weird? Eunsol unnie?”
“It’s not strange, it’s just the taste I like. Sugar ratio, amount of milk… maybe even the type of coffee beans.
As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a color I knew. Everyone, please take a look.
In my opinion, it’s the drink you want the most! “It feels like it’s aligned.”
Anyway, I can drink Pepsi Zero lime flavor right away, so this situation is not bad.
Anyway, isn’t it good to eat and drink delicious food? I don’t want to think about it any further.
After slowly relaxing over a drink, it was Cha Jin-cheol who started the conversation.
“I still don’t know what the hell is… First of all, I heard earlier that cell phones can’t pick up radio waves. Are they all the same?”
Everyone nodded.
“As expected… I think I’ve only seen this kind of thing in articles about the Disaster Management Bureau, but I never thought I’d be involved.
First of all, isn’t the goal for everyone to get out somehow?
Let’s start from the front door. “Actually, it doesn’t look like they’ll let you go easily in this situation, but I’ll have to check.”
Fortunately, there was a rough layout of the building next to the front desk, and it wasn’t that complicated.
We all went down half a floor from the front desk, turned left, and walked straight down the hallway. We saw the front door across from us.
And when we arrived at the front gate, we were all speechless once again.
It is heaven.
It was truly heavenly. Outside the door, there is just a blue sky stretching out, with clouds visible far below. The land was so far away that I could barely see it.
The moment I opened the door and was about to take a quick look underneath, an alarm went off.
[Opening a door in the sky without tools is suicidal]
“Ah… ah… they say you can’t open the door.”
“Gain, were you really trying to open the door? You can’t open the window when you get on an airplane, so of course you can’t open the door in the sky. “I thought I was just going near the door.”
“Hahaha… of course. “It was such an absurd situation that I didn’t even know.”
“No, this is really… Is this damn hotel flying in the sky? “I could never have imagined something like this in my life.”
Eunsol, who had a dumbfounded expression on her face, also agreed.
“In my own way… I prided myself on having eaten well, lived well, traveled to many foreign countries, and seen many interesting and interesting things until this age, but my life was in vain. “I can’t believe I saw something like this.”
“At least I can’t go out here. Unless it has wings. Haha, I had no idea Jeju Island was such an amazing island. There are flying hotels.”
“excuse me! “What’s written here!”
When everyone turned around at the sound of Songi’s voice, they saw strange graffiti engraved on the wall to the right of the front door.
What on earth? Escape route 2? So does that mean there is even 1?
Or rather, the front door is really one of the ways to escape? What is the ‘special tool’ in the background?
Is it possible to go to a place like this without at least a flying tool?
Moreover, who engraved this text? I don’t think it’s a hotel.
Looking at the previous method, the hotel did not convey information ‘in this way’.
Is there anyone else in this hotel besides us? It’s starting to get a little creepy.
I immediately conveyed the thoughts that came to my mind.
“It says Escape Route 2. 1 is absolutely there, and wouldn’t 3, 4, or 5 be there if you do well?
At least… I think there might be an easier way than finding a way to fly.”
I decided to save the question of who wrote the graffiti. There are already so many scary things happening, and I don’t want to make the atmosphere scary again.
“I feel better after hearing that. For now, let’s go back to where we were drinking coffee earlier. “It was okay for the shy staff member to make his own coffee.”
We guessed it to some extent, but as the quick escape was foiled, everyone returned to the table feeling a little empty.
As if it were natural, the table where everyone ate and drank was neatly set again with drinks and refreshments as if nothing had happened.
This time, no one even said anything about how amazing it was.
This time I spoke first.
“First, why don’t we walk around the hotel and take a look at the layout? “When I was looking at this structure diagram a while ago, there was something a little strange.”
“I felt wrong. “What was there?”
“There are no stairs. The structural diagram shows the basement, first, second, and third floors as well as a gymnasium? There are all kinds of facilities, including a swimming pool, but absurdly, there are no stairs.
There is only an elevator. Well, it’s rare to use stairs in hotels, but don’t they usually have emergency stairs?
“It must be there for fire, earthquake, etc., and the emergency staircase should be on the structure map, but I can’t see it.”
Cha Jin-cheol, who immediately stood up and looked at the structure diagram, immediately responded.
“Is it true? There are no stairs at all. “In the first place, there is a blue sign that shows the person running, and there are no stairs that say, ‘Escape here in case of a disaster.’”
“Hmm… Whatever you do, you should first know the structure of this hotel. First of all, when you’ve finished drinking, let’s get up and walk around to check for anything unusual.
Oh, and if possible, let’s all go out together. Something… feels a bit off. “I don’t think it’s a place worth going alone.”
After summarizing Eunsol’s situation, we all decided to get up and search the hotel.
After a search of about 1 hour and 30 minutes, the following conclusion was reached.
1. Various convenience facilities are located in the basement, the first floor is the front desk, slightly down is the main entrance and ‘small’ rooms, the second floor is ‘medium rooms’, and the third floor is ‘large rooms’.2. There are no stairs in this building.
3. The elevator is the only means of moving between floors.
