The moment a harsh voice rang out, I concentrated all my concentration.
“The dangers of mirror warfare, the myths and doctrines of the cult, empty the enemy’s magazine.”
What is he saying now?
Even after hearing the first two keywords, nothing came to mind.
Fortunately, I felt the third phrase, empty the enemy’s magazine, as soon as I heard it.
Considering the nature of the magazine, this expression means emptying the enemy’s weapon in advance, which has a limited number of uses.
The ‘enemy’s magazine’ that this metaphor refers to is definitely Advent!
At that time, the hotel, where it was hard to see even the people next to it, suddenly started to brighten up.
When the remaining colleagues noticed the change in situation and looked around, a familiar voice was heard.
“uh… . How was everyone? I think there are a few people missing… .”
“sister!”
*
With the third question, the Heavenly Energy Leakage event ended, and Eunsol’s sister also woke up.
As soon as my sister came to her senses and told us about the situation, the first thing she did was write down our answers on the whiteboard.
“Make sure it’s what I wrote! “I don’t want a single letter to be wrong.”
No. 205: Absolute master. inevitable death. Lucky tricks do not work, and exceptional force is required.
No. 206: 3-way competition, frequently check the original material and date.
No. 104: The dangers of mirror warfare, the myths and doctrines of the cult, empty the enemy’s magazine.
I am somewhat confident in my memory, but it matched my memory. It was the same as the content of the memo Ari had written up to number 2.
“That’s accurate.”
“I’m glad.”
Normally we would have talked about various things about what was written, but now there was something more urgent.
“The location of the disappeared people is ‘Agwi Hell’?”
“yes.”
“Grandpa, have you tried using the chat window?”
“I’ve tried private chatting several times, but there’s no response. “It doesn’t seem to be a street where the chat window can be reached.”
Afterwards, the remaining people discussed with each other how to save their colleagues who had fallen into Hell, but no progress was made.
“What is the Hell of Anglers doing in the first place?”
I answered because something came to mind.
“This is speculation, but I don’t think the name ‘Hell’ was given for no reason. As it happens, we know of another place with the word hell.”
“Hard ice hell.”
“Another name and role of the ‘Room of Resurrection’ is Hanbing Hell. “This is a place where eliminated contestants are trapped and suffer.”
Grandfather asked me a question.
“Do you think that hell is a similar place? A place where eliminated contestants are kept?”
“I guess so?”
Eunsol’s older sister intervened.
“Regardless of the identity of the Hell of the Dead, how can we approach it?”
The grandfather’s expression was very dark as he answered that question.
“I think there is no way to access Mt. Hell from where we are.”
“Oh, why!”
To Seungyeop’s almost screaming question, the grandfather calmly answered.
“Everyone knows Ari’s blessing and ‘secret’ now, right? “Isn’t it the power to find out the secrets of the hotel?”
“Yes.”
“We found all the hidden rooms on the first and second floors. According to Ari’s Blessing, the hidden room on the first floor is a souvenir shop and sanctuary of blessing. “The hidden rooms on the second floor are the Resurrection Room and the Mirror Room.”
“I heard there is one hidden NPC left?”
“The name is ‘Agwi Hell,’ isn’t it? No matter how you look at it, this is the name of ‘space’ rather than the name of an NPC.”
I understood what my grandfather meant.
Under the circumstances, what kind of space is the Hell of the Devil, and if it were a place we could find, its existence should have been known through a blessing or a ‘secret’.
Eunsol’s sister muttered with concern.
“Yes. “The fact that Ari’s Blessing was not aware of its existence means that it is a place we cannot find.”
A gloomy atmosphere descended. If we cannot help our comrades who have fallen into Hell, there is only one answer.
They must escape on their own.
Grandpa said with some hope.
“There must be a way to get out. When Jincheol first asked me to tell you the entire scenario of No. 205, I told you to lower the level of questions because it would be a punishment that a fortune teller can’t handle, right? Afterwards, Jincheol lowered the level of questions.”
In other words, the current divine punishment is a punishment that those who have fallen can ‘bear.’
Therefore, we decided to trust our colleagues and wait.

Cigarette butts and crumbling leaves blew in the wind, raising a cloud of black dust on the streets.
Apparently, there were no subways or cars running normally, but there was only loud noise everywhere.
The trees on the street are withering, and only traces of the lawn are withered.
Like this, the city’s bleak appearance was extremely desolate… .
Only two strong emotions boiled over: hatred and hunger.
“you! “You bitch!”
“…”
“What were you thinking when you looked at me just now?”
“…”
“Do you think I don’t know? I know everything! “What do bitches like you think!”
“okay?”
“I heard… . I heard you! ‘So-and-so, if you don’t study hard, you’ll end up just picking up trash on the street like that guy.’ “This shit-”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Do not lie! Yo, do you know how difficult it is to get a job in this world these days? You’ve never earned a single penny, have you? joy! “She’s like a parasite who steals her husband’s money.”
“I have never been married and have no children. And my salary is really high? “There is over 120 billion won in the bank account managed by the bureau.”
“…”
The ‘Agwi’ in front of me was momentarily speechless, perhaps overwhelmed by the number 120 billion.
Is it because I have had a variety of experiences at the hotel?
I just felt like I knew.
Apparently, that hungry ghost was originally human.
I think my occupation was a sanitation worker, and I must have lived faithfully in my own way.
There are often parents like that in the world.
In another way, he points his finger at people who work hard and live well, perhaps to teach their children a lesson.
‘Hey, why don’t you study hard? If you don’t get accepted to a prestigious university, you end up living like a scum like those lower class people.’
I don’t know if this kind of sighing is really helpful for a child’s education, but it is clear that it has at least scarred the man for life.
good. It’s too bad for you, you’ve had a hard time. The person who said that was definitely a piece of trash.
however… .
“Hey, you bitch! Where are you lying? I will rip off your flesh and swallow your sins! “I drink every drop of your blood.”
— Come on!
Why are you yelling at me earlier?
I have never once in my life singled out people in a specific occupation and looked down on them.
Because the Bureau’s motto is ‘All humans are equal!’
There is some text after that, but this again does not mean discriminating against ordinary people based on their wealth or occupation.
Since they couldn’t communicate with each other, I had no choice but to separate their heads and bodies.
Afterwards, he chopped off the head of a salesperson who failed to protest even after being slapped five times by a customer, and threw a subordinate who was taking the boss’s child to school every day into a manhole.
It is true.
This city is a land of despair where failed contestants wander in hunger, haunted by the most terrible memories of their lives.
It’s hell.

“Ha~! “This loveless bastard – hmm.”
You have to endure it.
When I think about it, I’m not really a very gentle person and I swear quite a bit.
It’s an excuse, but should I say it’s a habit I developed naturally because I often meet tough people at the gym and do sparring?
Young kids and beautiful girls in the hotel – ugh!
As I spent time with my colleagues, my speech naturally became smoother, but now that I was alone and meeting a bunch of idiots, I started to curse.
“Hey, you fucking bastard! “I lit a cigarette to say that I had done something wrong.”
It came out again.
Looking at you smoking cigarettes, did you get bullied by bullies at school?
I just ignored it and ran.
“Why have those bastards been fucking with me ever since?”
Did I bother you? Did I burn myself with a cigarette? I quit smoking a long time ago, you bastard!
“Hmph! “Let’s take a deep breath.”
It’s an unpleasant place.
A world full of directionless hatred and hunger.
The first thing that appeared before me was an old man carrying a heavy load.
He asked me so earnestly for help that I felt anxious, but I helped him carry his luggage with me. Suddenly, the young guy said something and tried to hit me on the back of the head.
As I was constantly exposed to this kind of unexplained malicious intent, I was on the verge of becoming mentally ill.
Part of me wanted to attack everyone I saw, but my stamina was precious, so I avoided them whenever possible.
— Ding dong!
As soon as I entered the convenience store, something I had experienced countless times was repeated.
“You fucking idiot, you don’t sell cigarettes to minors!”
“…”
“Oh, you’re not a minor, you’re an old man? hey! Are you so easy on me just because I have a part-time job? this -”
— Uddangtang!
Is this guy a part-time worker who was bullied by a drunk man and a group of people asking for cigarettes?
I was too tired to think about it, so I just threw it out of the store and looked at the items in the store.
Again, there is none. It was clearly a place that looked like a convenience store, but there was no food or drinks in sight.
I tried going into restaurants and supermarkets, but they were all the same.
There was nothing to eat or drink anywhere.
All that exists are ‘hungry ghosts’ consumed by hatred and hunger for unknown reasons.
“Whoa… .”
It’s still okay.
It’s only been half a day, so I’m just a little thirsty.
“…”
Can I continue to bear it?
Even if you can endure hunger, can you endure thirst?
“There must be a way out… .”

The thick smell of blood stung my nose.
Since blood has never flowed from my body and I have not harmed anyone, the identity of the smell is clear.
It seems that anglerfish are killing and eating each other nearby.
— Boom!
Although I was slowly giving up my expectations, I decided to go to a nearby university because I thought it would be a great place to have something to eat and drink.
Is it because it is a place where young people in their prime gather?
There was quite an interesting story heard around me.
“Ayoung you! Oh, you think my brother doesn’t know? I heard it all! “What are you doing with senior Jinho?”
“Yeah~! You idiot, everyone knows it except you. Do you understand now? 이 병신같은 한남 새끼야, 니 좆 크기가 -”
I listened and resisted the urge to hear the next sentence.
It was a really interesting development, but after seeing the man pull out a sharp object, I didn’t think the subsequent scene would be any more interesting.
“Is there even a bottle of water somewhere…” .”
When I slightly opened the lab door, which looked quite decent, I saw Agui busy working.
“what?”
“…”
“What are you, you bastard!”
“no.”
“Why not? hey! Do you think I did something very wrong? This kid is a business school professor -”
“Are you a graduate student? The person whose limbs disintegrated on the floor is the professor? “Have I treated you like a slave?”
“Uh, uh, uh… .”
“I’ve heard this story about 20 times so far. Just keep doing what you’re doing. By the way, it looks like the professor is also a ghost, so he won’t die easily. Even if you die, it seems like you will be resurrected soon anyway.”
“Boo, bow?”
“You are reacting to the word ‘resurrection.’ That’s fine, but is there a bottle of water nearby?”
“Resurrection Resurrection Resurrection Resurrection Department-”
“That’s a disaster.”
— Druk!
I’m getting tired.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the fighting power of the hungry ghosts was not a big issue.
Although they are immortal beings who suffer forever in hell and can regenerate over time even if their limbs are torn apart, their physical abilities are not much different from humans.
To be honest, even if 100 of them attacked at once, I wouldn’t be hurt at all.
The problem is food and water. Isn’t it the way of the world that even the best coriander in the world can’t survive even a week without water?
“I wonder how other colleagues are holding up… . “I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to meet.”
Suddenly, an unbearable hatred took hold of my soul.
As I watched the endless suffering that ghosts go through, I couldn’t help but think of ‘my experience’.
That’s why I couldn’t help but shout.
“Why on earth did you create this hell!”
Why do hotels exist, and why do they cause suffering to so many people?
At that moment, a notification appeared as if it was teasing me.
「Mission: Escape from hell!
How does it feel to be thrown into hell for coveting the hotel’s secrets?
It won’t be fun.
Do not worry!
If you follow the instructions, you can return to your beloved companions within two to three days at most.
Everyone, what did you think when you saw the demons of hell?
Don’t you pity the poor beings who suffer from hunger and are haunted by the most miserable memories of their lives?
If you can relieve some of their resentment… .
“That good karma will soon become the rope of salvation.”
