“Brother. Shouldn’t we start by considering whether it’s possible?”
“Yes. It might be impossible to give it to someone.”
In the first place, we do not know about the soul’s ship and the principle of the divine sun.
So, it is just my guess that it could be included in the stock price.
“Arima too.”
“what?”
Is there any reason why Arima would be impossible?
Everyone looked at Seungyeop because this was unexpected.
Seungyeop immediately stood up and moved towards Jincheol.
“Huh, huh!”
“Brother Jincheol, please stay still for a moment.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
After Seungyeop summoned a box out of thin air, he loitered around Jincheol.
“It’s impossible after all.”
“what?”
“I have a strange feeling as I gain the soul of Arima… According to this feeling, there is no separate soul called Arima in Jincheol-hyung’s body?”
When I heard this, something came to mind.
Looking back, Arima is similar to Ju in some ways.
This is because the main body did not escape, but rather the escape was attempted by ‘copying and pasting’ the main body’s personality into Cha Jin-cheol’s brain.
Even most of these copied personalities have been destroyed by me, and now only traces that are extremely lacking in homogeneity with the original remain.
“It seems that the witch’s spirit does not exist separately in my body. I will have to decide who to put in the box later. It is not something I can put in right now.”
“That’s right.”
And so, with my ideas scattered, our conversation for today ended.
It was a little disappointing.
[Advice: 3 -> 2]
‘Is there no way to put the witch in the soul box?’
[Normally impossible.]
?
“Usually?”
“Brother?”
‘Tell me the special method by which a witch can be placed in the soul box.’
This time the advice went unanswered.
Is this something you can’t answer directly?
Or maybe make a wish in the mirrored room?
This is impossible. There isn’t even a single completed ticket.
“Wait, wait. Let me ask you again.”
“I think Cain is giving advice.”
‘Is there a special means of trapping a witch in the soul box? Tell me, aside from the Hall of Mirrors.’
[Advice: 2 -> 1]
[It exists.]
“ah….”
“what’s the matter?”
I threw out two pieces of advice and got nothing but tantalizing answers.
How to put a witch in the soul box.
There are also other places besides the mirrored room.
…I don’t know what that is though.
My colleagues who heard my explanation just tilted their heads.
I used the remaining advice to satisfy my personal curiosity.

The next morning, we headed to the Sanctuary of Blessing early in the morning.
“Kim Muk-seong, Yu Song-i’s reinforcement is possible. Would you like to proceed?”
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard my grandfather’s name.
“The order is coming so quickly!”
Grandfather grumbled, but did not hide his anticipation.

The place where the sponsor stayed was again like an Indian temple.
Animal statues scattered everywhere and a giant elephant in the center.
“hello!”
The sponsor looked at me blankly and asked in his mind, ‘Are you ready?’
“… Of course!”
I told my colleagues that I didn’t know what kind of strength I would gain.
That’s a lie.
I know what power I will gain this time.
I just couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.
The shame was so great that my true feelings spilled out without me knowing.
“Wow, sponsor, what on earth were you thinking when you created this ability?”
The sponsor asked back, ‘Isn’t this the power you desire?’
“…”
There was no denying it.
In my defense, the power I now have is not the power that only I desire.
I’m sure that’s the power that 99% of humanity desires. That kind of ability.
“Just give it to me.”
At that time, an unexpected answer came back.
“Wait a minute? It might be dangerous if I go out now?”
What does it mean?
What happened outside?
After about three or four cups of tea, the elephant’s trunk nudged my head.

“Oh, it’s been a really long time.”
Even when I thought about it myself, words came out that were incredibly arrogant.
It must be because I couldn’t hide my inner dissatisfaction.
“…”
Instead of answering, the giant just stared at me.
He was wearing a pristine white lab coat, the kind you might wear in a laboratory.
“Didn’t you call me to give you new abilities?”
“Your personality is different from what I expected.”
“What?”
“Do you remember what you said when we first met?”
“Stop trying to hide things, it’s a bad habit that comes from being in a secret organization for a long time, become one with everyone. Wasn’t that the feeling?”
“I knew you would go crazy if I didn’t give you that advice.”
Runaway. I was breathless for a moment.
I realized too late that the giant’s behavior was completely different from before.
He no longer repeated himself or said unnecessary things.
Is last appearance the best and this appearance the real one?
Or vice versa?
Or is it meaningless to divide the real from the fake?
“You are an agent of the Management Bureau, so I hope you can understand what I am saying.”
“…”
I know. I can’t not know.
Blessings, I was aware from the beginning of the dark possibilities that communication contained.
“You can destroy your colleagues’ vision or shake their senses whenever you want. You can even manipulate messages during communication or draw only some people into the conversation.”
“…”
“Depending on how you use it, you can manipulate your colleagues. This is also an essential characteristic of communication between people.”
Injecting provocative information and manipulating public opinion by changing a word or two.
Isn’t that what always happens in reality?
The Administration is the leading expert group in this field.
“Didn’t I tell you not to do that?”
“I really didn’t know you wouldn’t do it.”
“…”
“Pfft! Why are you looking so serious?”
Suddenly, the giant’s attitude changed as if he had turned over his hand!
“uh?”
“Hey, young man! Why are you looking like that when I told you a joke?”
“I, what do you mean by youth -”
“You’re much younger than me. Have you forgotten what I told you? You could live another 500 years. Compared to that time, you’re still young, not to mention immature!”
“Haha, right… So, what’s your next ability?”
“It’s a power you’ll love. This time, it’s real. And.”
“and?”
“Be silent, don’t lose your original intention.”
The atmosphere changed again.
From a researcher to a playful old man, this time with the aura of a great sage.
I felt a strange sense of oppression at the sight of the constantly changing scenery.
“Why did you come to the hotel?”
“…”
“It was to save the world.”
“Yes.”
“You must have heard from the Master of Wisdom. The answer is in Room 206.”
This is the information that Gain found out from room 204, the hotel cinema.
“Can I ask you one more question? That room must have two legacies too -”
What should I choose?
“You’ll find out when you go in. But….”
There was a serious look in the giant’s eyes.
“It won’t be easy.”
“…”
What do you mean it’s not easy?
Isn’t it difficult for us to beat 206?
Is it not easy for me to inherit?
I knew it intuitively.
This part will not be answered even if you ask questions.
…
Even after the conversation was over, the giant didn’t send me away.
The moment I raised my head with a puzzled expression, the giant laughed.
“Wait a little longer.”
“What?”
“You guys are really….”
“yes?”
“You are strangely lucky at a crucial moment. This is also your blessing.”
“What do you mean?”
“You can go out now. Have a good time.”
Having a fun time?

[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 224
Current location: Basement, ‘Hotel Bar’
Wise Man’s Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
After Grandfather and Songi fell asleep in the Sanctuary of Blessing, the remaining people made a decision.
Let’s play today!
I suffered so much in the cursed room that I literally died, so I decided to have fun one day.
In that respect, the hotel is a truly great place.
Because if you decide to play, there are endless facilities for it.
I swam in the pool in the morning and went for a light hike up the hill for lunch.
In the evening, we gathered at a nice bar and started watching my sister making cocktails.
“Come on, let’s have a drink!”
Seungyeop stuck out his lips.
“Why am I the only one drinking cola?”
“What kind of cocktail is this for a middle school student! I’ll make it non-alcoholic for you later.”
“No, Gain hyung is also a high school student.”
“Honestly, what kind of minor is Ga-in? We should count the time she spent in the cursed room.”
That’s right. I don’t know about Songi, who isn’t here, but I don’t think I’m a minor.
“What about the maze?”
Miro answered with a confident expression.
“I just lost my memories! I’m a full-fledged adult!”
Ariga looked tired.
“Let’s just drink quickly. Seungyeop, if you want to drink, drink too.”
With this feeling, everyone spent time having a couple of light cocktails.
When I started to feel tipsy, Miro hit me.
“Gain-ah… . Try giving me some advice. Advice.”
“What? Do you have any questions?”
“Ask me what I can do to have fun.”
I looked back in disbelief and saw Miro giggling.
“Advice isn’t often used for strange purposes?”
I flinched for a moment.
“What a strange use -”
“For example! What is Elena doing at night? Is Ari in the bathtub right now?”
Elena, who was across from her, flinched greatly, and Ari just looked on as if she found it funny.
“Since we get three every day… . I’ve probably asked you over 500 questions so far, right? Is that a lot?”
“…”
“Not all of them were written meaningfully. It must have been difficult to come up with a list of 1,000 meaningful questions.”
“…”
“So, ask me. What would be fun to play with? Or what is Miro thinking about right now?”
If this were normal, I would have just passed off Miro’s words as a joke.
Miro didn’t seem to be speaking particularly seriously.
I feel strangely elated today.
Even though I only had two and a half glasses of cocktails, I had a hard time understanding why I was like this.
So I asked.
‘Tell me what I should do for fun.’
The moment I asked the question and was about to laugh out loud because I was so dumbfounded –
Something strange happened.
[Advice: 3 -> 0]
What? A triple all of a sudden? Wasn’t this just a joke?
[I recommend the drinking game. Knock everyone out of this place.]
“What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly using all three?”
“what’s the matter?”
A chaotic bar scene with everyone rolling around.
Miro, who had asked me to give her advice, is now tangled up with Elena and playing pranks.
Ariman felt something strange and approached.
“You want me to play a drinking game? You want me to knock everyone out here?”
I was confused because I couldn’t understand.
“Drinking games? I haven’t even had an entrance ceremony! I don’t know anything about drinking games -”
“I’ll help you.”
“What do you know?”
The corners of Ari’s mouth went up.
“Let me teach you a trick.”
*
Exactly three hours later, the hotel bar was burned to the ground.
“Cute and adorable~ 31!”
“I, I’m really having a hard time now -”
“How long are you going to make me dance the shoulder dance~!”
“Eww!”
Eunsol, who was making cocktails, had already vomited twice and rolled around on the floor.
Because of that, at some point it stopped being a ‘cocktail bar’.
It’s just beer and vodka.
Beer is okay, but why is vodka popping up?
Is this Elena’s style?
Come to think of it, Elena said something extraordinary from the start of the drinking party.
“Actually, in Russia, beer is not considered alcohol.”
“…”
It was already a fight from then on.
“22, 23!”
Seungyeop is happy.
“24, 25, 26!”
Ari’s cheerful cry.
“27!”
Jincheol hyung is also laughing.
and….
Elena looked at me with a slightly apologetic expression.
Contrary to his expression, his actions did not seem apologetic at all.
“28, 29, 30!”
Once again my glass was filled with alcohol, and at this point I was starting to lose consciousness.
There are still four people who are sane.
Elena comes from a country where anything less than vodka is considered alcohol.
Brother Jincheol drinks better than that Elena.
Ari rarely lost a drinking game.
Seungyeop is drinking a soft drink instead of alcohol.
What is this?
“This is… Seungyeo-eop is so baby-like….”
“Brother, I also have a stomachache because I drank too much.”
“Jiiiiiraaaaal… .”
Consciousness becomes blurred.
Ari whispered in my ear.
“I’ll definitely take down the rest.”
