widely. widely. widely. widely
My footsteps echo in the hallway. Strange sensation. It’s quiet everywhere, so even the sound of footsteps feels loud.
I haven’t been walking around alone like this since I arrived at the hotel.
After we all left Room 103 yesterday, we spent the day eating, resting, and experimenting with ‘different perspectives’.
The next day, I started searching for a hotel in the morning.
This is not my first time searching for a hotel. But this is the first time everyone has been scattered like this.
High risk hotel. During my explorations, I relied heavily on the ‘advice of wise men’ and never traveled separately.
However, the next two days will be ‘risk-free days’ declared by the hotel.
If there is no danger, is there any need to gather together to explore?
Naturally, everyone dispersed.

The hotel’s secret that is only revealed in ‘Party Time!’
Where on earth is it?
Everyone except me went down to the basement first.
Unlike the first floor, which only has the front desk, main entrance, and a hallway with 7 rooms, the basement is filled with over 100 rooms.
Each room is filled with amenities on a scale that cannot possibly be found in a ‘room’.
There was a zoo, a botanical garden, a bar, a PC room, a billiards room, a swimming pool, a photo studio, a public bathhouse, and, absurdly, places like an amusement park or hiking.
What on earth is mountain climbing? If I open the door, will a mountain come out?
Naturally, it seemed likely that there was a secret somewhere in this vast space, so everyone went down to the basement.
However, I felt like there had to be at least one person to search the first floor, so I stayed on the first floor.

Sage Advice: 3]
It’s been a while since I checked the class information. In the middle, there is a noticeable ‘Solved!’
Really, issue 103 is completely finished.
I walked to the door of room 103. What happens when you re-enter the solved room?
Could it be that you suddenly fall into outer space?
Although I was a little worried, the wise man’s advice did not make me move, so I opened the door to room 103.
there’s nothing. There is only a door in an empty space, and there is nothing in sight that could hold any secrets.
When our party cleared room 103, this room seemed to have become a meaningless space.
As I walked a little further and passed room 104, which I enter every day, and 105 and 106, I could only see the nameplate of room 107.
I remember what I heard from Ari a few days ago.
We used to call it the ‘Gateway Room’. A room that can be entered if you achieve certain results in all other rooms except that room, and when you pass, you can go up to the next floor.
‘Gwanmunbang’
Probably room 107. Room 107 has no ‘door’ at all and only a nameplate.
Perhaps you only get a ‘door’ if you achieve a certain level of performance in issues 101 to 106?
I went to the end of the hallway but couldn’t find anything.
Except for the rooms, there are just walls.
Since I can’t enter the cursed room by myself, is there really nothing in the hallway?
I’ll have to look around the front desk and the main entrance and then join them in the basement.
!
When I turned back, Ari came without a sound, as if he had been waiting.
“Huh! I’m surprised. “Why are you walking around without making a sound?”
“Did you find anything?”
If you want to be alone, use the natural informal language you are now familiar with.
“I opened room 103 and there was nothing there? Room 107 is the gateway room? “Well, something like this.”
“The story is that nothing was found.”
“okay. Now that you think about it, you seem to know quite a bit about the hotel. Do you know what the secret is that it only appears on ‘party days’?
“It will be easier to find the object if you just specify whether it is an object, a person, or a room.”
“I don’t hide the knowledge I need. What is not said is either unknown or meaningless knowledge.
In the first place, the bureau’s knowledge of the hotel is only the tip of the iceberg.
To answer your question, everything is correct.
When you find a treasure, an unknown companion, strengthen a blessing, open the next layer without passing the gate, etc., the sky is the limit.
“You already know some things.”
It immediately came to mind: ‘Room of Resurrection’, ‘Buddha’
“Are you talking about the Resurrection Room and Buddha?”
“It’s the Resurrection Room. Buddha is a concept we know nothing about. This was my first time hearing it since I came here.
You probably know the Resurrection Room just by hearing the name, right?
I heard that this is a room where contestants who lost their chance due to defeat at the hotel are resurrected through some kind of procedure and are given another chance.
Actually, the procedure seems to change every time…”
“Any other secrets?”
“There are too many. It’s different every time, so there’s no point in explaining it. In the end, we have to find out and figure things out ourselves. ”
I heard a lot of information.
I feel like the number of things I don’t know has increased.
In the end, I have no choice but to find it myself.

While walking towards the front desk, Ari followed behind.
“Aren’t you going underground? There is no space on the first floor for anything other than the front desk and the main door. Wouldn’t it be better to go somewhere much bigger?”
“There is no guarantee that secrets will be hidden only in large areas. “I… somehow got the feeling that there was something on the first floor.”
front
Outwardly, it is no different from what you commonly think of as a hotel front desk. There are just no people.
There is no one there, just a meaningless information desk and a huge display above it.

The surroundings darkened with the sound of pressing a button, and then became bright again with the sound of pressing a button.
I looked towards Ari in confusion and saw that he was fiddling with the light switch.

“You’re not a child, so I hope you’ll stop doing weird pranks, right?”
“…”
I touched this and that. I went inside the desk and opened the drawer, and a note came out.
‘87439124’Unidentified 8-digit number string.
Is this really possible?
Instinctively, I put the note in my pocket and looked at Ari. Ari continues to look at the switch near the front door.
My heart is racing.
Could it be a coincidence that a string of numbers that can only be clearly described as a ‘password’ was hidden in a desk drawer as if waiting for it?
Escape button in the elevator. I was told to put on a ‘hazardous suit’ and enter a ‘password’.
I decided to forget it. Anyway, it is meaningless unless you have a ‘protective suit’.
Is it right to hide this from everyone?
*
I couldn’t find anything special at the front desk. All the other drawers were empty, and even if I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything hidden.
Is there anything worth looking for near the front door? It’s just a huge door, so it doesn’t look like there’s much more room to hide than the front desk, but Ari wandered around for quite a while.
“Is there something?”
“Come and see this”
? What is there really?

“ah! “A real elementary school kid’s prank-”
“It’s not a joke, come and see”
The moment the lights were turned off, the entire first floor became dark.
Only then did I realize the abnormal phenomenon that had occurred!
It is a huge misconception that it is natural for it to get dark when you turn off the lights.
There is a transparent glass door here, you can see the sky outside the glass door, and there is a sun in the sky!
Of course, even if the lights inside the hotel are turned off, the sunlight outside the glass door must come in.
However, as soon as the lights were turned off, it became dark even outside the hotel.
As if the outside of the glass door transformed into a ‘different space’ as soon as the lights were turned off!
“This… Should I open the front door?”
“I didn’t know that, so I waited.”
“You don’t know? “You said there was nothing dangerous today, right?”
“I think that’s up to interpretation. This probably means that the hotel will not create a separate ‘dangerous event’.
For example, does this mean that the danger disappears even when going to an ‘originally dangerous space’? I don’t think that’s right.
“If it were that way, there would be no danger if you went to the cursed room every ‘party time,’ but there’s no way they would do that.”
“In other words, there is a possibility that the area beyond this door is an ‘originally dangerous space’?”
“That could happen. “You try holding the door.”
I slowly opened the door, paying attention to the ‘advice’ on the status window. Nothing pops up.
However, as we have already experienced in the swimming pool, we cannot completely trust the advice. Advice only works right before a crisis occurs.
If a monster attacks you about a minute after you enter the room, the advice gives no warning.
“First, let’s bring in everyone else.”
“…”
Ari looked somewhat displeased, but he didn’t stop me from going down to the basement.

“Is it true? How on earth did you find this? “We were just wasting time underground.”
“You didn’t find anything either?”
“huh. People in the basement gathered together periodically to search here and there… but the basement should be a little bigger in the first place.
I even went on a ‘hike’ trip and got lost, so other people came to look for me.”
“Let’s go into this first. I guess I’ll have to see it with my own eyes to know what’s there. “I take the lead.”
“Jincheol oppa, wait a minute.”
Songi approached Jincheolhyung and did ‘something’.
“What did you do? “There is no change.”
“By consolidating the perspective my brother’s senses accept, I prevented the information he received from being disturbed.”
“I’m sorry, but please explain it to me in a simpler way. “I’m a little out of my head.”
Actually, I didn’t understand it at all.
“You took steps to prevent something from warping your senses? “There is no guarantee that the dangerous element is something physical.”
“Is something like that even possible? “It would be very useful.”
“Only one person at a time for about 10 minutes.”
Ever since I entered the hotel, I’ve felt countless times that I was so vulnerable to mind-shaking attacks, but now I finally have a countermeasure.
The functions of ‘diverse perspectives’ are truly endless.
With Jin Cheol-hyung at the forefront, who had temporarily become stronger in both mind and body, we headed to the strange space outside the main gate that was formed when the lights were turned off.
As soon as we entered, everyone fell.
[Congratulations on reaching the Sanctuary of Blessing!]
