As the movie ended, the light on the screen disappeared. After a while, the screen lit up again, indicating that the next person should come in. Now I am the last person left with a chance.
Until this moment, many of my colleagues did not fully understand what was happening on the screen.
“What, what? Why did it end? “Didn’t Seungyeop escape?”
The doctor also responded that it was difficult to understand Jincheol’s embarrassed words.
“The movie ended without the coffee shop scene. Does this mean it happened in an instant? Then, who harmed Seung-yeop? Could it be Doliphant?”
“Brother Sanghyun, the elephant was quite far from Seungyeop. Besides, don’t you think he would have picked Seung-yeop up with his nose and then killed him rather than ambush him and kill him?”
Elena and Song-i also didn’t understand why the movie ended as soon as Seung-yeop escaped the mansion.
And I… .
I saw the person who harmed Seungyeop. He finally realized its true identity!
“Everyone, please listen to me.”
My colleagues gaped after hearing my explanation. The doctor asked curiously.
“How did you notice? “If it had been Eunsol and not Ga-in, I would have guessed that she would have recognized it through the power of her eyes, but the fact that Ga-in noticed it is surprising.”
“As you said, it’s not because my eyes are particularly good. “It’s just because I had a similar experience once.”
Similar experience. When the story came out, everyone nodded.
Afterwards, I talked about the questions that came to mind while watching Seungyeop’s progress and the better progress I thought of. Over a period of time, I refined my plan more thoroughly.
Songi asked what he was planning to take.
“Oppa Cain, what do you plan on taking, the grimoire or the blessing? Of course, a grimoire?”
Blessing of Wisdom alone consists of 3 pieces of advice and a mental protection filter. It’s not bad, but it lacks active abilities, so grimoires are usually better. Without the mental protection filter, there are restrictions on the use of grimoires, but even grimoires with those limitations are more useful than blessings.
but… .
“blessing. “I don’t think the grimoire should be used in the movie that’s about to start.”
Songi thought for a moment about what he meant, but then nodded.
“Oh, that’s right. “At the beginning of the story, Cha Eun-pyo said that his story wasn’t that great, right?”
“You can say things like you were lucky or had a brilliant idea when it comes to crisis alerts or advice, but possession is unreasonable. The development itself of Cha Eun-pyo suddenly being possessed is strange, and it is even stranger to say that it was no big deal after such an experience.”
The doctor also pointed out other problems.
“Gain has become very strong both mentally and physically for various reasons.”
“I guess so. “I feel like I’ve developed some kind of extra sense recently.”
“Thanks to you, Gain can use the grimoire for a short period of time without the status window… . “The original grimoire said that ordinary humans would die the moment they opened it?”
Yes. I also took advantage of this and used the grimoire as a mental attack weapon.
“I think it’s very dangerous to turn into Kevin and use a grimoire in a child’s body.”
After talking about that, I started moving towards the screen, and my heart started beating wildly before I even got into it. I am the last person. There is no longer anyone behind me to save me.
Colleagues around him seemed to have felt this as well and began to tremble and show an anxious attitude. When I saw Elena who had started praying in silence, the doctor with her hands together next to her, Songi biting her nails, and my brother who couldn’t raise his head, I became frustrated.
…
In the meantime, when I saw the parrot pecking Songi’s head to give me the sunflower seeds right away, I burst into laughter and relaxed. It would be just fine like this.
A while ago, I was reminded of ‘The Beginning Man’, which showed a much more refreshing progression than the original Seung-yeop. A hotel is a place that sometimes requires an attitude that makes you feel like you’ve turned around.
“I’m going in. “I will choose blessing.”
The initial progress was similar to what Ari and Seungyeop showed. After arriving at the coffee shop and apologizing for being late, Cha Eun-pyo soon began to tell his story.
“This is a story from when I was young… .”

– Home alone
“Kevin!”
After listening to Kevin’s mom nag for a while, he raised his hand.
“Mom, I have something to ask.”
“huh?”
“Do you have any snacks at home?”
“of course! Umm… . “But you shouldn’t eat too many cookies.”
“Honey, Kevin will be home alone this time, so let’s get him some snacks.”
“is it so. Kevin, I’ll show you where the cookie box is! You know you can’t eat too much, right? “Do you have to brush your teeth after eating?”
“yes.”
After my parents left, I took a moment to gather my thoughts.
This is because there were parts that I couldn’t understand while watching Seungyeop’s progress. Seungyeop’s response to the toys in the mansion is as follows.
Move with your back against the wall and avoid Happy Happy’s attacks.
Step on the furniture in advance and move it to a good place to run, then run on the furniture to avoid Thomas’ attacks.
Control the Dollyphant by editing the contents of the booklet containing tea time etiquette.
…
How does a 12 year old do this?
That’s a response method that people who observed the monsters’ behavior patterns outside of the movie came up with together as a group. A 12-year-old kid remembered everything in real time? What Einstein?
Let’s say that Cha Eun-pyo, or rather Kevin, was such a genius when he was young that he miraculously remembered everything. Even when you think about it again when you grow up, isn’t it a quickness that you think is crazy?
To put it jokingly, it feels like ‘a video that can be played at a funeral,’ but Cha Eun-pyo said, ‘My story isn’t that great.’
The story is that Kevin actually survived in a much easier and simpler way. The real answer is hidden in the behavior and way of thinking that a child would do.
“Meow!”
As I was moving into the living room of Kevin’s room where the toys were, the cat lying on the floor yawned and made a noise. Looks like he’s going to fall asleep soon.
“… Now that I think about it, your existence itself was a hint.”
After the parents disappeared, in addition to Kevin, there was a dog named Susie and a cat named Cathy in the mansion.
Among these, Suzy temporarily blocked Happy Happy both times when Ari entered and when Seung-yeop entered, showing tearful loyalty to die on behalf of the owner.
Where on earth was this cat, Cathy, at that time, so that she never meowed? That in itself was another hint.
I went in front of the toy boxes and read the descriptions on the boxes.
“Make cookies with Dollyphant, lay rails for Thomas and friends, and have fun playing tag with Happy Happy.”
Ari found the first two sentences right away when he first entered. I just didn’t attach much meaning to this sentence. In the first place, if it is a toy, it is difficult to believe that this commonly written sentence has great meaning.
I tried to think of things that a 12-year-old boy would do as best I could.

“Kevin! Let’s start a New Year’s party for you!”
This is already the third time. The mansion began to shake with the sound announcing the start of the party. By the time the mansion stopped shaking, the three toys began to take action.
「Happy happy! “Kevin, from now on, let’s play tag!”
“Thomas is leaving! “We need to lay rails, so please make way!”
“Dolly dolly!” It’s tea time! Good children, please come to the second floor.”
— Boom!
The first toy, Happy Happy, appeared with a loud noise.
What did Kevin, a 12-year-old boy, do when he opened the gift box in anticipation and found this hideous clown doll? Wouldn’t he have been angry and ruined it?
“Eeeeeeeeeebuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulraaeaeae -”
“… your speech is really slow.”
Happy Happy, whose neck was turned backwards because I broke it while he was a doll, spoke extremely slowly. It is similar to the state of the broken Happy Happy that Seungyeop met earlier.
Thinking about it this way, Ari’s judgment was correct when he opened the box on his first attempt and kicked Happy Happy in anger as soon as he saw it. He just didn’t kick hard enough.
“Eight!”
— Tak!
I pushed the broken doll that appeared behind me with my hand. What does it mean to talk to me with your neck turned back?
That means the back is in front!
Before I could finish explaining the rules of tag, Happy Happy was touched on the back by me and fell to the floor.
“I touched it inside and understood it. Keeviyin won!”
“Be quiet.”
After neutralizing Happy Happy in 3 seconds, this time it moved towards the horn while listening. What is Thomas like?
“Thomas, are you having fun?”
“of course! Kevin, thanks for laying the rails!”
The toy that Kevin would have loved the most was Thomas, the toy train. So, isn’t it normal to open the box as soon as you find it, play with it, and lay down the rails?
Thomas looked happy as he ran endlessly on the rails that had been laid out in the shape of a circle in advance.
In fact, the main job of a train is to run on rails, not to lay rails. Perhaps even for Thomas, laying the rails would have been unpleasant.
After checking the train that found peace as soon as it started, I moved to the second floor to check the third toy.
“Dolly dolly!” It’s tea time! Good children, please come to the second floor.”
I moved as fast as I could and went to the reception room on the second floor where the Dollyphant was located.
“Dolly dolly!”
“Dolly dolly!”
“Kevin! I didn’t know it would come so soon! “Kevin is smart, isn’t he?”
“okay?”
“good! “Come and sit here!”
Earlier, I was in trouble thinking about what to do with Dollyphant.
This is because in the box containing Dollyphant, there was a small booklet titled ‘Tea Time Etiquette for British Gentlemen.’ Since it has been found that Doliphant strictly follows the content of the book, one option is to revise the content in advance.
But I didn’t touch the content of the book. No matter how you look at it, opening the book and writing small letters was far from the common sense behavior of a 12-year-old boy.
“Kevin, wait a minute. “Kevin came very early and we aren’t ready yet.”
“okay.”
Dollyphant carefully tilted the boiling teapot and began to pour the tea. Obviously, the stubby feet were of little help, so it seemed quite difficult to work with only the nose.
When the work was finished, Dollyphant with a happy expression said to me.
“drink! “It will definitely be delicious!”
After taking a sip, I opened my mouth.
“It’s a little bitter.”
“What? Kevin, are you saying my black tea tastes weird right now?”
“No way! Black tea is usually slightly bitter. “The problem is not with the tea, but somewhere else.”
“The problem lies elsewhere?”
“It’s tea time, but there are no snacks. “Black tea is bitter, so you should eat it with sweet snacks.”
In reality, wouldn’t Kevin have said something more arrogant than this? is not it? Could it be that he was so frightened by the talking elephant that he spoke more intimidated?
The attitude is good. To young children, tea means nothing more than bitter water. When you eat something like that, you naturally think of snacks.
“And snacks?”
“Since it’s tea time, shouldn’t there be snacks?”
Dollyphant looked at ‘Tea Time Etiquette for the English Gentleman’ in confusion, and soon discovered that every illustration in the book had a cookie or bread next to the teacup.
“Really! After all, Kevin is smart, right? “Black tea should be eaten with sweet cookies or bread!”
“Are there any snacks?”
“…no snacks. How to?”
“If you search the mansion, you’ll find snacks somewhere. “Why don’t we look for it together?”
“good!”
Soon, Dollyphant rose to his gigantic size and began wandering around the mansion. Of course, it won’t be easy for Dollyphant to find the cookies.
Because Suzy and I ate everything earlier!
In the first place, what would a 12-year-old boy put up with after finding out the location of the snacks? Of course, you have to eat it all on the spot!
“Now that the toys have been roughly disposed of… .”
It’s time to uncover the secrets of the house itself, the real culprit that caused all the strange phenomena.
