Huh…huh…
I woke up feeling dizzy.
What on earth just happened? I met ‘Lord’. The hotel’s notice was distorted. Like in Animal Farm? no. different.
Looking back on the changes during Animal Farm, it felt like the hotel had just changed its name as we were moving on to the ‘next stage’, so to speak, Phase 2.
This time, it was distorted as if it had been ‘hacked’. This is clearly the first time something like this has happened.
how… . What did I see? Heavenly throne. Master of the world.
And – a golden light seeped into me. light. light. light.
I feel a storm of light rushing inside my head. She held her head in both hands and trembled.
Someone held my hand.
“I don’t know what happened, but don’t think about it for now.”
“ari… . “You escaped.”
“You can’t even imagine how hard it was for me, right? As soon as I came out, I tried to beat him up again this time. “Seeing your condition makes me angry.”
Someone else held my hand. A somewhat refreshing feeling. The headache disappeared along with the sensation as if my head had been dipped into cold water and then taken out.
“Oh my, how did you do this again? “What is the function of the bracelet?”
“Ari, what are you going to do?”
“…”
“Thank you Song. “I’m curious too, what did you do to me?”
“Rather than what I did, it was my brother’s sense. This part was a little distorted, so I corrected it. “I don’t know what ‘medical’ meaning that means.”
“I bet it’s a power far greater than medicine.”
Little by little, the confusion subsided, so I stood up and looked around. Besides Songi and Ari, everyone else looked at me with worried eyes.
Perhaps because they were conscious of me, everyone quietly headed to room 105.
Even while walking, I periodically suffered from paroxysmal headaches and confusion, and Songi continued to stabilize my mind every time.
How long will this happen?
By the time I got to room 105, I had doubts. Are other people okay? It may be surprising, but haven’t other people also met quite painful deaths?
“Are you all okay? Even if Seung-yeop was distraught, I think Jin-cheol and Song-i would have fought hard and died?”
“Well, that’s fine. “I’m rather curious about your condition right now, Cain.”
“yes? “Are you okay?”
“Think about what we’ve been through so far. If you think about it, each and every one of them was a series of terrible pain and death that would remain as a trauma for most people’s lives. Aside from that, everyone is usually fine. So I just thought that the hotel would automatically fix things like trauma and PTSD.”
“Actually, I think like Jincheol. Everyone didn’t say it, but didn’t they feel it? Even if I die so horribly that I vomit, once I leave the hotel room, I feel like it’s not something I experienced? All that remained was the feeling of reading the words written in a book.
“Of course, it’s not a pleasant memory, and it’s a memory I don’t want to think about, but I’ve never had symptoms as severe as you have.”
“I have a bit of a guess.”
ari.
Not surprising. The only person who can answer about this ‘supernatural phenomenon’ is Ari or Grandpa Mukseong.
“The management bureau has received information from survivors in the hotel several times, and they all said the same thing as Jincheol and Eunsol. ‘No matter how terrible the experience was, once it came out, the experience only came to mind as a simple series of letters, and there was no significant PTSD or mental aftereffects.’
In the first place, even if your limbs fall off or your internal organs are crushed, they will send a doctor to treat everything, and given the nature of the hotel, which resurrects you even if you die in the room of curses, it can be said that even mental injuries can be healed.
therefore… . Ga-in oppa is not doing this because of the trauma he suffered in the hotel.”
“Then what causes it?”
“I guess you have some guesses yourself? I’ll be honest. From a while ago, I felt a creepy power boiling over you. “What the hell did you get?”
got something That’s the cause of this seizure.
‘I have given light to you.’ With those words, light seeped into me.
“ruler. ruler. Let’s leave it at this for now. At first glance, it seems like Ga-in doesn’t know much, but I don’t think I’ll get a good answer if I ask him now. When I looked at the time, it was just before dinner. “Let’s talk while eating something.”
“You’re right. And, the order needs to be corrected. “I think there is someone else who will answer before Ga-in.”
There is tension. Ever since she left the ranch, Songi has always shown herself to keep Ari in check. Now I feel the same way. We wanted to avoid elements that could cause conflict as much as possible in a hotel where ordeals are repeated, but this is now our limit. It has gotten to the point where covering it up more would actually break trust.
Naturally, the eyes of the six people turned to Ari and Grandfather Mukseong.
Like, the 2:6 composition. Subtle tension.
“Pfft. What is this atmosphere? Even if it doesn’t, I was planning to tell you everything I need to tell you by today, so don’t look at me scared. “Why don’t we just go in and have some food and talk?”
“okay. First, let’s eat something and talk. We’re not fighting right now, are we? The purpose is to just let each other know what we need to know. “Let’s go in.”
Fortunately, Eunsol’s older sister responded favorably and the tension subsided.
*
In Eunsol’s opinion, this hotel seems to be relieving all the participants’ complaints with meals.
Even though I swear about the hotel about 30 times a day, the swearing disappears every meal time. How can all the food be so delicious?
Hotel meals sometimes feature a variety of foods that each person likes, and sometimes have a unified concept, and tonight’s dinner is a barbecue concept. A variety of meats were being grilled on a huge grill, and the grill itself rotated to grill the meat on its own, so all you had to do was eat it.
Plus, after living in a hotel for a few weeks, we became quite savvy.
For example, the use of ‘shy employees’.
At first, when I didn’t know much, if I ran out of food or drink, I would ask for understanding from people around me and leave the room all together.
Then, at some point, I realized. There was no need for the power to go out so inconveniently. All you have to do is escape everyone’s gaze. If you want to get a refill of your drink or food, simply lower your cup or plate to the bottom of the table and then raise it.
As I ate the lamb ribs, which were soft pink and medium rare on the inside and crispy on the outside, mixed with mint jelly, I was impressed once again.
I thought I had plenty of gastronomic experience in my life thanks to being born as the daughter of the Daeyang Group. The standard of food provided by this hotel is truly very high.
Thanks to you, everyone’s tension has calmed down. thank god. I thought that one day I would eventually have to have an honest conversation with the two agents of the Chaos Disaster Management Bureau.
However, ‘dialogue’ should never lead to catastrophe. Hotels are very dangerous places.
Our division itself is a serious problem, and the two agents are beings with unidentified powers. Beings that must somehow prevent conflict and attract others.
Exactly, I think now would be a good time. Good food makes people’s hearts happy. The more difficult a conversation is, the better it will be when the food is delicious.
“Now that everyone’s stomachs have been filled, why don’t we talk about some of the things we’re curious about?”
Ari put down the spoon as if he had been waiting.
“Uhm. “Is the hearing for me and my grandfather starting now?”
“Hearing? Let’s not say things like that. What kind of minister are you picking here? “I just want to confide in each other.”
“great.”
And so, the hearing began.
*
Ari opened his mouth first.
“First of all, it would be better for me to organize it myself and tell you. After that, you can ask questions. What are your questions? Aren’t there three main things? 1. Who am I? 2. What is my purpose? 3. What powers do I have?
First, I was born in a hotel.”
…
From the beginning, everyone was speechless due to the bombshell remarks.
“My mother was chosen for the hotel a long time ago, and she gave birth to me here. She doesn’t have to think she’s weird. Because she wanted it herself. And she said she grew up here and this and that… . She gained strength, escaped and came back.
Why on earth did you come back to this unanswered place? That would be the second answer. I want to free her ex-mother from the hotel. Resurrection, if possible. If that is not possible, at least we can free ourselves from the painful cycle of reincarnation and give ourselves rest.
third. You have already guessed my ‘blessing’, right? There is probably no one who does not know what hypnosis is. There are various effects related to the mind, and in order to achieve powerful effects, I need to use my own blood. There is someone over there who has already drunk my blood twice.
I think I said it roughly, right? “Anyone more curious?”
“I understand the first and second. I hope you cheer up. I hope you can save your mother. However, I don’t think the third part was explained sufficiently. I distinctly remember you ‘flying in’ and grabbing me by the neck. “Unless I don’t know what ‘hypnosis’ means, I can guarantee you that it doesn’t include ‘flight’.”
“I can sum it up by saying that I have my own secrets.”
“Who is going to organize it however they want?”
“So, do you plan to tell me everything you can do every time you increase your bracelet mastery? Just because you ‘healed’ Ga-in earlier, I don’t think you told me before that such a transfer was possible.”
“Why are you suddenly playing my story? It’s not that I’m hiding it intentionally, I’m just realizing it in real time while wearing the bracelet, so I just couldn’t say anything -”
“Why should I tell you all my strength in the first place? “Did I intentionally threaten you this whole time?”
——-bang!
“Sleep! Songi and Ari, both stay quiet for now! We’re not talking to fight. Let’s tell each other what we need so that we can trust each other more. That’s the intention!
Everyone, please don’t forget. This hotel is hell and we are eight sailors on the same boat. “Even if we all stick together, it’s hard to survive in hell, so what are you trying to do by fighting?”
There was silence at the table.
“Hmm. The atmosphere here is cold. First of all, Ari spoke harshly, so I would like to apologize to Ms. Songi on my behalf. What I don’t want you to misunderstand is that Ari is in no way hiding anything to hurt you.
Our ‘Administrative Bureau’ is an organization that inevitably has many secrets, and of course the abilities of its agents are among those secrets.
If you find it hard to trust us, trust the ‘Administrative Bureau’. At least we have contributed greatly to calming the chaos in the world since the ‘Great Disaster’.”
“Let me also say something. In the grand scheme of things, I understand what Eunsol says. We must never fight here. However, the more secrets there are between each other, the more difficult it is to develop trust. “Even the silent elders, please tell them.”
“It’s good. I’m comfortable with that too. Like Ari, let me tell you in that order who I am, what my purpose is, and what power I have.
It’s not that I was born in a hotel like Ari, I’m just a person who lived a good life in the world and ended up dedicating myself to work at the management bureau.
Just be clear about your purpose and say it without hiding anything. I am a person who came under orders from the management bureau. Like Ari, I don’t have a separate personal goal. In other words, my purpose is the administration’s purpose and position.
The Bureau found out that this hotel had ‘the power to stabilize reality’ and dispatched us. I don’t know if it’s a legacy, a blessing, what. “My goal is just to rescue it somehow.”
“The power to stabilize reality? “What on earth is that?”
“You said you didn’t know. This isn’t something to hide. The management bureau doesn’t even know. However, that power will be incredibly useful to us… . Let’s just say there was a ‘prophecy.’”
“It feels like the more I talk, the more things I don’t know.”
“And, my abilities. Of course, say it without hiding anything. There is no such thing. “There is nothing other than the chat window that you all know.”
Unlike during Ari’s time, everyone seems to agree. Sister Eunsol responded.
“Honestly, I thought so. This time at ‘school’, I was working with an elderly person… . “I observed the elderly on a regular basis.”
“I’m embarrassed that my young wife stalked me.”
“… Especially on the day of the escape, I saw that the old man just died right up until the moment when the other person showed up with a gun and shot him. “I thought this person didn’t really have any superpowers.”
“That’s kind of sad. “Isn’t it because the reason there is no suspicion is because of incompetence?”
“Can you please stop twisting my words?”
“In my defense, isn’t this weird? It feels like I’m making excuses for why I’m incompetent. Anyway, in my defense, let me say that there are actually very few cases in the Bureau that have special powers like Ahri. “Most people are just ordinary people with a lot of knowledge and proper training.”
“excuse me. “There is something I wanted to say earlier.”
“Seungyeop, tell me too.”
“Gain’s condition is strange.”
In the storm of information, the attention that had been focused on Ari and Mukseong finally turned to Ga-in.
There was a boy there, radiating a soft light all over his body.
