Episode 447 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ Re (12)
– Kim Ari
According to the sponsor, the last cursed room on each floor of the hotel is particularly difficult.
Why is Room 206 more difficult than the other cursed rooms on the second floor?
This is because the Demon King’s nature is extremely destructive and he is an incommunicative being.
In other rooms, such as Room 103, there is no room for the prisoners to help, or for the prisoners to negotiate, as in Room 202.
On that subject, the Demon King is ridiculously strong.
The Demon King is a being who cannot avoid conflict and has no chance of winning in a fight.
However, there is a group that suppressed this great demon king and built a city on top of him.
They are called the Society of Reason and are the force that holds the most important secret of Room 206.
So I came down to the depths of paradise.
First, to find out how the Demon King was initially sealed and what his weaknesses are.
Second, to find the labyrinth and the pero.
*
“It must have been over 100 years ago, but I guess something is starting to happen?”
“…”
“Don’t worry. It may be a bit noisy now, but we’ll be able to put the Demon King to sleep soon.”
‘Master of Time’
This is the name given to the treasure that shakes time in the struggle for reason.
The performance of the original was incomparable to the degraded version used by Leon Kadyrov in Paradise.
According to the director, it can perform various miracles, including time reversal, time delay, and acceleration.
As an agent of the Administration, I can assure you that the ‘Time Masters’ are not man-made.
Of course, the current problem is not the identity of that treasure.
“8, 8th area is locked down! Containment object out – AAAH!”
“3rd District Demon King -”
Even though screams were heard in real time from all directions, the director’s attitude remained calm.
As if such sacrifices were nothing.
Could it be that the Demon King’s excessive pressure has broken this woman’s spirit?
No, someone with such a weak mind can’t be given the grand title of ‘high-ranking official’ in an organization like the Management Bureau.
There is something I firmly believe in.
Do you believe in the Time Lord? Or is it some phenomenon created by the Time Lord?
Very interesting.
Also, I absolutely must find out that secret.
The problem is….
“You said not to worry, the Demon King will be put to sleep soon, right?”
“I told you so.”
“To the Director, no, it seems there is still some final solution left in the case.”
“… I’m very busy right now -”
“What is it? A Time Lord? Or some other means?”
“…”
This woman has no intention of sharing her secret with me.
It only placates me and doesn’t give me any meaningful information.
Why?
I have to hit well to be of a similar ‘class’ to Airavata.
The first time, Shijo did not recognize the face of the labyrinth that came up from underground.
The people of Paradise were just ordinary people, so they revered her as a ‘progenitor’ and a ‘hero’, but in the eyes of the organization, she was at best a mid-level executive or lower.
I understand.
I’ve never had to explain anything to my subordinates while working as an agent.
Besides, this is an emergency situation so there’s really no time.
but.
I know.
Whatever this woman is preparing, it is bound to fail!
If I had time, I would consider resolving this through peaceful dialogue, but I don’t have time right now.
Of course, a lot of time will have passed outside.
“…”
“You said Ari? I’m really busy right now -”
“sorry.”
“Huh? What -”
— Bang! Bang!
“Eww!”
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, killing the two soldiers near the general, and rushed at the general.
— Grararara!
As if he had been waiting, Pero transformed into a grotesque and let out a loud roar, preventing the outside soldiers from intervening.
“This crazy -”
The moment I was about to grab the scruffy, bad-mouthed Miro by the collar, Miro’s body suddenly became translucent and my hand slid through the air.
This is an application of the time-shifting technology that was previously featured in the midnight maze.
I never thought the director would actually be able to use the time zone!
— Clang!
The sound of a needle moving.
“Robert! Get this crazy woman off me!”
‘Robert’, who appeared distorting the air, was a being that looked like a humanoid robot.
Should I call this a blessing?
Is it because Ga-in doesn’t pop out like when Miro really wrote it?
— Boom!
Grotesque, who came running like lightning, knocked Robert back with a headbutt – failure!
Ironically, the cyborg blocked Pero’s charge with one hand and shot him with the other.
— Bang! That’s right!
You didn’t shoot with your hand holding the gun, the bullet came out of your hand!
What kind of monster is that? Isn’t it some kind of cyborg weapon rather than human?
In an instant, the grotesque was covered in blood and groaning, while I clenched my teeth and strangled Miro’s neck, locking eyes with him.
“Eww! Let go of this -”
Stop holding back and fall for the suggestion!
Tell me all the information, and wake up the real Maze!
“Eww!”
“Stop holding on!”
“You, you… ‘You can’t hurt me.’”
Can you even use the ‘voice’ of the maze?
“I’m not saying it’s harmful!”
“Eww!”
The old blood’s hints don’t work!
Why?
Are you sure you’re not using the unchanging blessing?
But then you couldn’t use the second stage of constancy?
Or a scenario-based force independent of blessings or inheritance?
Since you’re an executive of a similar management organization, you have strong mental resistance?
For a moment, numerous question marks crossed my mind.
Either way, the only option left for me was ‘stronger suggestion’.
— Ugh!
As I bit the flesh inside my mouth, including my tongue, lips, and the inside of my cheeks, intense pain and thick blood filled my mouth.
In that state, I poured my blood into Miro’s mouth.
“Eeeeeep!”
The body of the chief, who had been resisting by twisting his whole body, went limp.
Finally, I entered the vast mental world of the director.
*
Suddenly, it occurred to me that it had been quite some time since I had gone beyond simple hypnosis and delved into the mind itself.
When was the last time you did it?
When Seungyeop was consumed by the nightmare butterfly?
I think I did it to Elena once after that.
My memory is vague.
Either way, at some point I stopped doing this kind of thing.
This is because Gain is much better at digging into other people’s minds to get information.
…
I calmly looked over the curator’s memories.
‘I graduated from high school early and entered a top engineering school in the U.S. with a full scholarship-‘
It’s great, but the management has run into this guy.
‘A paper on isolation of chaotic entities written during undergraduate school attracted the attention of the public –’
Is this a world where information about chaos bodies is widespread enough in the general public to be able to write papers about it?
‘Although he made many mistakes in the field during his junior days, he achieved outstanding results in research –’
Despite having a fraudulent legacy of being a time zone expert, he was not good at physical combat and had no talent for field work.
This is something I’m not good at!
Memories that summarize the life of the person called Sojang pass by quickly.
Most of it was worthless information.
Even now, when I think about the passage of time, I feel suffocated.
That’s why I don’t do this kind of drudgery!
If it was Gain, all you had to do was stay in her body for about 10 seconds and the book would automatically find the necessary memories!
Old blood is the problem.
In terms of the diversity of abilities, it’s like a combination of five or six legacies, but when you look at them individually, they feel like inferior versions of specialized legacies.
In the past, I thought it wasn’t a big problem because the advantage of diversity was so great, but after watching Miro’s Time Zone, I feel like I’m losing out on something.
A time when you can use your legacy as a legacy. Isn’t this the best fraudulent legacy?
At this point, I was just boiling inside the director’s vast memories.
“Huh? Ariya?”
A ‘voice’ was heard in a place where no one else’s voice could be heard.
He is someone I know very well.
“… maze.”
“Huh? Hey! Ariga released my seal!”
“…”
Like this?
Wasn’t it unintentional for the maze to come looking for me?
I thought I would have to take the time to calm the curator’s mind, or bring Eunsol to play the flute in the next episode.
“The maze. The seal has been released. Did you get a notification?”
“Notification? I haven’t seen anything like that….”
The seal has not been broken yet.
We just found a maze trapped in the mind of the director, but the control of the body is still in the director’s hands.
Let’s start with the urgent matter.
“Sit next to me -”
“Ariya! Ariya!”
“… why?”
“Hey, my breath smells weird! Did I drink something weird?”
“…”
“Eww! What, I just saw it!”
I think that as soon as I came to my senses, I began to vaguely feel what state my body was in.
“Why is Ari with me, height, height -”
“Be quiet and don’t listen to me!”
“… yes.”
“Shut up and sit down next to me and think about the Demon King! Then the memories will come back to you.”
Miro was confused, but he did as I told him.
After a while.
‘The seeds of apocalypse fell from the sky.’
Wouldn’t this be the feeling you get when you watch a 10-hour video and pause it when the highlight comes up?
I concentrated all my mind and searched the curator’s memories.
From this part onwards, you can’t miss a single word!
…
…
…
I just found out.
Before the Alliance of Reason built Paradise, I first learned how to suppress the Demon King.
I also got a general idea of what the Demon King was like.
… but.
Still, it was unclear how to ‘solve’ the unprecedented disaster that was the Demon King.
In the first place, I was defeated because I didn’t know how to use reason.
“We’ll have to go out and think about a solution. First, let’s escape.”
therefore –
“Ariya! Ariya!”
The maze shook me urgently.
“What’s wrong? If it’s because of the seal, I’m sorry. I don’t know how to get you out.”
You need to have a power specialized in the mental side like Eunsol’s flute –
“No, that’s not it! While you were looking at the memories, Norbert? That robot killed Pero and tried to kill you -”
Oh my god.
I almost died without even knowing it.
“…”
Miro’s next words were very shocking.
“Gain has appeared!”
“to?”
*
I came back to reality alone.
This is because he has not been able to find a way to pull out the labyrinthine self he discovered in the vast mental world of the director.
If I studied it leisurely and carefully, I would have found something, but I didn’t have time.
“…”
While I was wrestling with the spirit of the curator, Pero had long since turned into a red lump of flesh.
Meanwhile, the cyborg called ‘Robert’ summoned by the curator was serving his ‘new master’.
“You, what the -”
My colleague, Han Ga-in, who is controlling Robert and preventing other soldiers from approaching.
As soon as I saw him, a lot of questions crossed my mind.
How did you end up in this place?
You came in late because we didn’t come back?
That doesn’t make sense!
You don’t have eyes that can see through the darkness like Eunsol, nor do you have luck like Seungyeop, but you found the lab so quickly?
— Snap!
Before I could even finish speaking, Gain grabbed my hand with an urgent expression.
“How did you get in -”
“Explanation later!”
He had an expression on his face that seemed, incongruously, like he was about to vomit from the tension.
“Ariya! Please! Did you figure something out?”
“Huh? Huh?”
“Do it now! Right now!”
