Episode 308 – Room 204, Mission Room – ‘Hotel Cinema’ (30)
– Park Seung-yeop
When I activated the Primordial Man, my consciousness left my body and arrived in a pure white space where I couldn’t do anything. It was a really strange place. Incomprehensible letters flew everywhere, and a black flame-like shape appeared in front of me.
‘Where on earth am I?’
I tried to speak, but no words came out. Because right now I don’t have a mouth.
…
Strangely enough, I felt like I knew what to do.
Did the older brothers and sisters who realized how to use their inheritance the moment they received it have a similar experience? I have to squeeze out an ‘order’ from this mysterious place. From now on, we must create a revelation that the ‘other me’ who will awaken will follow like a golden bird.
“where?”
‘… In the mansion?’
“until when?”
‘Until the movie ends?’
“what?”
This is easy.
‘survival!’
“how?”
I was momentarily speechless. How do you survive? Did I use my abilities because I didn’t know that?
While I was thinking about it, the ‘gap’ started to shake. There is no time to leisurely think.
‘Oh, take care of it! well!’
Consciousness becomes blurred. I felt another me waking up in my body.

– Park Seung-yeop (Human from the beginning)
Suddenly, I came to my senses in a strange place. Where am I? Who am I again?
“Survive in the mansion on your own until the movie ends.”
A revelation has come. As a heavy voice sounded in my head, my confused mind cleared and I knew that this sentence was a command that I must follow.
… It was difficult to understand the content of the revelation.
This does not mean that you do not know the meaning of each word. Strangely enough, the meaning of the word came to mind spontaneously.
The mansion is this huge house that I am in now.
The movie is about several people looking at a black wall in a large place where strange illusions appear.
But what does it mean to say until the end of the movie? There is no black wall around me where illusions come from?
I don’t even know what it means to survive on your own. Am I alive and safe? Is something threatening me?
At that time, the pink elephant in front opened its mouth.
“Kevin, what are you doing if you’re not drinking tea?”
“… Kevin? Is that my name? Who are you?”
“me? “It’s Dollyphant!”
“Dollyphant? “Let me ask you a question.”
“question?”
“Where is the movie playing now?”
Doliphant responded by asking what on earth he was talking about.
“movie? “There’s nothing like that in this house?”
“But I have to live until the movie ends.”
“What on earth are you talking about? “Until the movie ends?”
“Uhm… . Let’s say the movie is like that. Does ‘Survive’ mean something threatens me? “Is there anything dangerous around?”
The pink elephant, Dollyphant, tilted his head.
“A dangerous being? This place is safe! If you’re talking about Thomas, there’s no need to worry. “I already broke it.”
“aha! “There was originally a threat in this place, but you already destroyed it?”
“maybe? So Kevin, don’t worry and drink your tea.”
“Is this water called tea?”
“okay.”
“I’ll have a drink.”
I felt relieved and drank water from a huge cup. After taking two sips, it tasted a bit bitter. I raised her head and Dolly Punt glared at me with her eyes wide.
“Kevin, you don’t mean to leave behind the tea I carefully brewed, do you?”
“It’s not? “Do you want to drink it later?”
“You’re going to drink it later? “It’s tea time now!”
“What is tea time?”
Dollyphant seemed confused for a moment, then took a small book from next to him.
“Tea time is the time to drink tea!”
“I see. But I drank tea, right?”
“You didn’t drink it all!”
“Do I have to drink it all? “At tea time, does it say to drink all the tea without leaving a drop behind?”
Dollyphant was embarrassed again and started turning the book with his nose. He was curious, so he went closer and started reading along.
“Do I have to drink it all? that… . I didn’t say anything like that… .”
“Look at this! Doesn’t it say that if you are a good English gentleman, you should always be able to enjoy a cup of tea with ease and dignity?”
“… huh.”
“They say drink leisurely. There is no need to drink it all at once. “I want to drink slowly.”
“Greungga? But Kevin, this picture is a little weird!”
“what?”
“Why do English gentlemen have such short noses? “My nose is much longer?”
“Because you are an elephant and the gentleman is a man?”
“Can’t an elephant be an English gentleman?”
I thought about those words for a moment. Can’t an elephant be an English gentleman? Why didn’t the being who gave the revelation mention this important issue?
As I flipped through the booklet and looked closely, I found a sentence written in a slightly different font.
‘Elephants who participate in tea time can use their trunks instead of their hands.’
“Dollyphant! Look at this. “An elephant can use its trunk to replace its hands, so its trunk is its hand.”
“Then why do I have my hand on my nose?”
“Maybe hand position doesn’t matter. “There’s nothing that says the hands have to be close to the body.”
“thank god!”
“But I discovered a serious problem.”
As soon as a serious problem was mentioned, Dollyphant’s expression darkened. He flipped through the booklet and pointed to a scene where a woman dressed like a flower was drinking her tea.
“look. “You drink by tilting the teacup with your hand, right?”
“huh.”
“But Dollyphant is sucking the tea through its nose and putting it in its mouth.”
“Huh? “No way!”
“Dollyphant has been seriously violating tea time etiquette. Now, tilt the teacup with your nose and drink it.”
Dollyphant looked serious and began to tip the teacup with his nose. Is it because I can’t move my nose as precisely as my hands? The teacup lost its balance and the tea water began to flow on the floor.
“crying! What is this? Why is it so difficult?”
“It’s because I lack training. “Look at me.”
I straightened my back and concentrated my strength on both arms. I gathered all my concentration and slightly tilted the teacup as big as my torso, and managed to drink the tea without spilling it.
“look! This is how you do it! “Try dollypanting with your hands, or even your nose.”
“Well, can’t Kevin just write it down in the book like before?”
“Would you like me to write it in your book?”
“An elephant can suck tea through its nose.”
“no! Rules cannot be broken arbitrarily. “As soon as I came to my senses, I remembered a rule that I must follow, so you must follow it too.”
When asked to follow tea time etiquette, Dollyphant nodded with a sad expression. Afterwards, I had Dollyphant practice tilting the teacup while holding his nose.

– theater
Yoo Song-i, with her mouth half-open, muttered with an absurd expression.
“… What on earth is this?”
Ga-in started giggling uncontrollably earlier.
“What is it? “A man teaches an elephant how to drink tea!”
“Oh, no! That’s right! Why did the structure suddenly change like this?”
Ga-in said, barely suppressing laughter.
“It seems like it came to this somehow, but wouldn’t the situation itself be a surprisingly standard hotel strategy? Doliphant is a monster that sets strange rules and attacks anyone who breaks them. “Seungyeop put the monster in a contradiction by pointing out that ‘you are also breaking the rules.’”
When Song-i tilted her head at Ga-in’s words, Kim Sang-hyun opened his mouth.
“Seungyeop’s new power, the original human, is quite fascinating. He lost his memory? Perhaps because of that, I feel a lot smarter than usual. Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean that Seungyeop was always lacking.”
Cain agreed.
“It seems that because common sense disappears, the scope of thinking becomes free and people act like that. but… .”
“I think the command was made a little incorrectly.”
“I understand the word movie, but I don’t understand the ‘situation’ of being in a movie. Moreover, since the content does not include who the threat to him is, he does not understand why he is in danger even when a murder doll is placed in front of him.”
“It’s a bit disappointing, but it worked out better. Aren’t you acting like that because you don’t know that Dollyphant is scary?”
“Honestly, it looks a little different than I expected. “I expected a scene like a crazy person running away but living with crazy luck.”
“That is also a possibility, and now this is also a possibility. By the way, I see one big advantage of that ability.”
“The duration is incredibly long. “It’s so incredible that it can’t even be compared to heavenly luck.”
People in the theater felt the tension slowly dissipate. This is because there is not much time left until tea time ends.
“Hiya! “I didn’t know Seungyeop would pass it off like this?”
Cha Jin-cheol was impressed.
“oh! “Seungyeop just saw Dollyphant and pointed out why it doesn’t stand on its own two feet!”
“He’s telling me to do it again. Are you really trying to stand up on your own two feet?”
Along with the elasticity of the bunch, there was an elephant who had now started practicing ballet by hand to imitate a human.
When everyone realized that the end of the third story was approaching, Dollyphant’s voice, with a very satisfied expression, flowed from the screen for some unknown reason.
“It was a very useful time! I had a great tea time thanks to Kevin. Now I can be a great British elephant too! “Did you have fun too, Kevin?”
A smile appeared on Ga-in’s face. Now that elephant is starting to look cute.
“Isn’t that guy cute to see again? “Do you think he’s secretly kind?”
“okay. “I see myself strictly following the rules.”
“no.”
“hmm?”
“Did I hear wrong?”
“It wasn’t fun. “Black tea is especially the worst.”
“S-Seungyeop?”
“Ugh!”
“Why are you drinking this bitter water? “I never want to do something like tea time again.”
“Ouch! “He, he’s crazy!”
Everyone except one boy was shocked and scared. Even the elephant on screen had an expression of shock with its mouth agape.
“I, I, I! Park Seung-yeop, you crazy bastard! “You don’t have to be afraid!”
“Especially teaching you, Dollyphant, was the most tiring. In the first place, don’t you feel it when you look at this booklet? “What kind of tea time is an elephant’s tea time?”
Ga-in decided to just laugh.
“ha ha ha! “Well, Seung-yeop has never experienced anything scary, but it’s even weirder if he’s acting cautiously.”
Cha Jin-cheol was in endless despair.
“Break it all, that idiot!”
“Puuuuuuu!”
The elephant’s mournful cries burst from the screen.

“Puuuuuuu!”
Dollyphant suddenly stood up and made a loud noise that made my body shake. Tears flowed from the pink elephant’s eyes and wet the floor. At that time, I thought for the first time.
“Did I do something wrong?”
The moment the dollyphant stands up and raises its front paw upward instead of answering –
Before my head could think, my body rolled to the floor.
— Boom!
The floor of the mansion was crushed by the blow. It wasn’t until this point that I started to wonder!
Could it be that the entity threatening me wasn’t Doliphant? Well, then it would have been nice if you had let me know when you made the revelation!
“Oooooh!”
A huge roar! I rolled to the side frantically and ran towards the door. Instead of chasing me right away, Dollyphant stayed in the room and started howling.
“Dolly dolly! Are you mad! I’m angry! Kevin! I’m going to put it in the kettle and boil it! “I’m going to stomp it flat and turn it into paper!”
“How can a person become paper?”
“shut up!”
Why do I get angry when I just asked a question? This elephant has a strange personality!
The mansion began to shake as Dollyphant roared and writhed. It seems like the mansion was damaged in the process! With a sound, the mansion suddenly became dark.
As the darkness fell so that I couldn’t even see my hand in front of me, Dollyphant started to get angrier.
“Keeeeeevin!” “Where are you hiding?”
— Boom! Kwazijic!
The sound of an elephant running wild is heard.
Even the sturdy and sturdy mansion could not withstand the monster’s body slam. There was a constant vibration that shook the entire house, and various decorations from the ceiling began to fall.
It was dark so I couldn’t see anything, but fortunately nothing fell in my direction. As I stretched out my hand and played with the walls and stairs, I touched a soft lump of down.
“Well, – sip”
I immediately shut my mouth for fear that Dollyphant would hear. However, there was a strange sound coming from her ball of cotton.
“I burst out in laughter. I understand. KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
What are you saying? Kevin won because he touched my back? Does Som actually talk? When he saw the cotton making noise, he became anxious and threw it far away.
— Kugoogung!
The mansion began to shake again. Is it because there was a series of shocks that I couldn’t handle? This time, I began to hear a truly unusual sound.
Finally, the sound! With a sound, the huge wall collapsed and light outside the mansion began to come in. Perhaps because light suddenly came into the darkness, the elephant that broke down the wall extended its trunk and covered its eyes.
By then, I was worried. The revelation told me to ‘survive in the mansion on your own until the movie ends.’
Does this mean not to go outside the mansion? Or does this mean that since I succeeded in surviving outside the mansion, I can do whatever I want from then on?
Let’s think comfortably!
I don’t know what ‘until the movie ends’ means, so let’s leave it out. Then all that remains is ‘Survive in the mansion on your own.’ What if you go out of the mansion? I guess I succeeded in surviving on my own while I was in the mansion.
I smiled happily and came out of the mansion. I have successfully completed the revelation!
“Ha ha ha ha ha! success!”
… Consciousness slowly returns.
