Episode 405 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ (7)
– Kim Ari
“We must join the protest too!”
“Isn’t this the opportunity? To overturn the false paradise that the sijo created -”
The flames of protest that heated up the city spread to the Demon King’s cult without exception.
From the beginning, the religious order was hostile to the city’s leadership.
The enemy of my enemy is my comrade, so the idea of joining the protesters is reasonable from the perspective of the church.
What about me?
I thought about it carefully.
Why is Gain doing this, and what should I do?
…
Once in room 102, and once on the first attempt in room 104.
I have quite a bit of experience working on a scenario where only the two of us are left in a hotel.
So I had a vague intuition of his intentions.
Throwing chaos into the entire city, freeing the movements of your comrades.
Also, in this process, the secrets that the enemies have been hiding are naturally revealed.
This is his goal.
So what should I do?
— Bam!
“Oh! Apostle Kim Ari, what do you think?”
I made a decision.

[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 264 (+33)
Current Location: Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’
Wise Man’s Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
As soon as I fell, the order of the city collapsed.
Soon, the enraged people spontaneously formed a militia and began to drive out the informers and occupy the main government offices in Paradise.
I watched the situation, then quietly got up and dusted off my clothes, but ironically, the militia’s advance did not stop whether I got up or not.
Because in the first place, this confusion wasn’t caused by me alone.
Anyway, during this process, corpses piled up like a mountain.
Was that why?
Captured by the angry militia – I would have been summarily executed if I hadn’t taken action – Jincheol made a pained expression.
“Cain, did you really have to do it this way? Was this the only way to provoke the guys above?”
“…”
The first answer that comes to mind is, ‘Why are you still like this?’
It’s not even your first day at the hotel, and you’re still so obsessed with the NPC’s life?
Of course, these words only serve to provoke Jincheol hyung.
This person, unlike the NPCs, is my true comrade, so I guess I need to be considerate of him.
So, I gave Cha Jin-cheol an answer that he could understand.
“Brother, don’t you think all this was inevitable?”
“It’s inevitable?”
“In essence, these people are just fighting against a dictator. The grievances have been building for decades at the very least. The mine incident is just a trigger.”
“…”
“If the revolution was wrong, is it right to continue to work like slaves and die under Leon Kadyrov?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
In the end, Jincheol agreed with what I said and backed down.
As the fighting between the militia and the informers grew increasingly brutal and uncontrollable, the long-awaited response finally arrived.
The one who holds all the secrets of Room 206 – Leon Kadyrov’s airship has appeared.
“Citizens, please calm down. If our ancestors knew what happened today, how heartbroken they would be. Violence does not solve anything.”
“Leon Kadyrov! Get back!”
“Get out!”
Shouts of ‘get out’ came from all directions.
“I heard you say to step down. But before that, I would like to hear your opinion. I have served you for over 30 years. Please give me a chance to talk.”
Jincheol, who was listening to the broadcast, tilted his head.
“Isn’t the broadcast more polite than you thought?”
“That’s right. These reactionaries! I was expecting something like, ‘We’re going to crush them with tanks!’”
“The atmosphere has calmed down a little bit?”
“…”
As he said, the chaos in the city began to slowly subside.
Because Leon Kadyrov’s words were persuasive even to the excited people who heard them.
If you think about it, that’s true.
If it can be resolved through dialogue, wouldn’t it be beneficial for everyone to do so?
and….
Something unexpected happened.
“Mr. Han Ga-in, I know you’re still alive. Would you like to come this way?”
You’re calling me all of a sudden?
For a moment, the surrounding civilians were confused and their eyes naturally turned to me.
“…”
“Go, Gain! Kadyrov is calling you.”
“…”
“If you could convey clearly what kind of difficulties we are experiencing… .”
The recent revolution that shook the city was started by me, no matter what anyone says.
Of course, I was a huge celebrity and an iconic figure.
So I couldn’t refuse Kadyrov’s offer.
*
Kadyrov stood on a red-draped podium, surrounded by a crowd of informants.
“…”
“You’re Gain. I’ve been hearing a lot about you for the past few days.”
“…”
“Oh, by the way, you met Songi a few days ago, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a shame. Songi said he wasn’t that dangerous….”
“…”
“Well, my daughter is young, so I guess I’ll have to learn more about this.”
There are countless cameras focusing on me.
Hundreds of thousands of people were watching Leon and I talk.
First, let’s start with a plausible story.
“Mr. Mayor, what do you think is the cause of this situation?”
“…”
“If you think I’m the only one, you’re very mistaken. The discontent of the 4th class citizens has been building up for a long time -”
“I guess that’s okay.”
what?
What the heck is this kid?
Do you not know how many people are listening to this conversation right now?
“Rebellions will happen when the time comes. There is no need to examine each and every reason.”
“You said you wanted to talk -”
“If I say it like that, you’ll come out obediently. I’m done being annoying. Get me!”
The moment Leon Kadyrov shouted, more than 10 informers rushed at me.
There was no way for me to rebel against him since I had lost all my superpowers.
*
What the hell is going on?
Even at this moment, when I was being dragged away by Kadyrov’s gang, I still couldn’t understand the situation.
Earlier, I didn’t step forward without thinking.
I set out, trusting in the hundreds of cameras shining on me and the militia of citizens rising up as if they were going to turn the city upside down.
Even a fairly crazy dictator would be expected to at least show some consideration in front of angry citizens and cameras.
Even if he was planning to kill me, it would be normal to do it secretly and pretend it was an accident.
Are you dragging me away in front of everyone?
I can bet both my fingers that war has already started in the city again.
That guy acts like he doesn’t need to worry about the ‘back’.
I know very well people who act similarly to Leon Kadyrov today.
*
Kadyrov’s men took me deep underground in the city, and there were three people in front of me.
It’s Eunsol, Grandpa Mukseong, and the teacher.
Han Ga-in, Lee Eun-sol, Kim Muk-seong, Kim Sang-hyun.
Just by looking at the list, I could guess why they were brought here.
The three people besides me are all people who have leaked confidential information to me.
If Jincheol hadn’t been captured by the militia, he would have been brought in too.
“They’re really great. Aren’t they?”
Kadyrov looked at Eunsol, his grandfather, and his teacher as if he was having fun.
“Two are second-class citizens, one is an informer. Aren’t they all eating well and living well?”
My older sister smiled bitterly.
“I thought I could get caught, but I really did get caught.”
“Director Lee Eun-sol, even your speech has become shorter? Did you get caught?”
“…”
“This is truly incredible. What on earth could they possibly be dissatisfied with? This is why governing a city is so difficult.”
After a while, all four ‘reactionaries’ were captured and taken to a strange place.
“What the heck is this….”
— Boom!
“what’s this?”
— Boom!
A mass of light that emits pure white flashes of light, and pulses periodically like a heart.
Leon Kadyrov’s mouth opened.
“I have good news for you reactionaries.”
“…”
“You are a bunch of worthless trash. You are traitors who are not worth saving. But the founder has created an amazing miracle.”
“…”
“He gave insects like you one last chance to serve the city.”
Service to the city?
At that moment, I was at a loss as to what he was saying – my grandfather shouted roughly.
“The hearth of the soul! No, the indomitable reason!”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the grandfather.
“Fuck! These guys are trying to sacrifice us to their indomitable reason!”
The mayor frowned and ordered.
“How on earth… . Eight! Put it in!”
Immediately the informers grabbed the grandfather by the collar and threw him towards the light condensation.
In an instant, my grandfather’s body disintegrated like a grain of sand and was absorbed into ‘Indomitable Reason’.
Soon, Eunsol and the teacher also died, unable to resist.
The mayor walked towards me with a mocking expression.
“Okay, do you have anything to say?”
“…”
“I saw on TV that you speak quite well. You should at least make a will on your way there.”
“…”
“Haha! This guy, it looks like he’s having trouble breathing when he’s about to die.”
I think.
How on earth can I survive this situation?
All superpowers were sealed.
There are plenty of muscular enforcers around me who can suppress someone as strong as me on their own.
His comrades also died without putting up a fight.
— Crazy!
“Hey, hey! Miss!”
A loud noise was heard from the other side.
The informers who had been so strong towards me were at a loss and didn’t know what to do in front of one girl.
Leon Kadyrov said with a frown.
“What are you doing without stopping me! Who is talking nonsense to that kid -”
At that very moment, my mouth moved without me knowing.
“Master, master!”
The world stopped.
The vicious informers, and the irritating mayor.
Everyone looked at me with a look of being hit with a hammer.
“What, what, what, what, what, why are you saying all of a sudden -”
“Elder! Leon! I promised Songi and the future!”
“Hey, hey, where the hell is that crazy kid talking nonsense -!”
“Look! Otherwise, why would my daughter come all the way here to save me?”
At that moment, when the market was staggering with its mouth wide open, I shouted urgently.
“Master! Didn’t you arrange a meeting between me and Songi a few days ago?”
“When did I!”
“That meeting was truly an unforgettable moment for both of us.”
“You little brat -”
“That day, I talked a lot with Songi, promising a future together. Oh, did you know that Songi has a heart-shaped mole on her right shoulder?”
“I kill him right now!
Hey, was it too much to talk about dots?
We should have just ended it with an engagement –
“Eight!”
“miss!”
Songi finally broke through the informers and appeared in front of me.
Even the world’s greatest Leon Kadyrov couldn’t stop Songi from rushing in like a mad boar.
in the end.
Songi, the mayor’s daughter, the second most noble person in the city, my savior.
Blocked my path.
“If you kill this man, I will commit suicide too!”
The inside of my stomach froze again.
