“…”
“…”
Everyone sat around with a somewhat mesmerized look on their faces. Because the facilities were destroyed, everyone was sleeping uncomfortable and less tired.
As if that wasn’t enough, as soon as I woke up, I hurried to the underground campsite as instructed by the hotel.
As a result, everyone sat around the camping facility with tired expressions.
“Well, do I have to stay here all day today? “Is there no way out?”
“Seeing as the door disappeared as soon as I came in, it seems like they’re telling me to just hang out here for a day.”
“There’s some meat over there, as well as tents and sleeping bags. “Why don’t we just sleep some more?”
“I understand that Seungyeop is sleepy, but we should first think about whether this place is really safe.”
“Elder, do you sense anything dangerous?”
“I don’t even have psychic powers, so how would I feel? However, judging from my previous experience, didn’t something strange happen every day in the hotel, except when I entered the cursed room?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not that you won’t go into the cursed room today, it’s that you ‘can’t’ go in, right?”
“Well, Song is right, but the old man also has a point. Anyway, this hotel does what it wants. If you start taking responsibility, the reason you can’t enter the cursed room is because the hotel was destroyed, and the person who destroyed it was Ga-in, right? From the hotel’s point of view, there’s nothing special to do, and they may continue to harass you today.”
“sorry… .”
“…”
Everyone is quiet. I’ve felt this since this morning, but it feels like everyone subtly flinches and avoids me when I talk to them or approach them. Was what happened yesterday too shocking?
“It’s early, but the weather is a bit cold, so let’s make a fire. “There is no stove here, and I brought a lot of firewood over there.”
There wasn’t really anything else to do.
Naturally, everyone got up, gathered the firewood in the center, used lighters to increase the embers, and succeeded in starting the fire.
and.
The day got dark.
“…”
“Can anyone explain what this fucking situation is?”
“You haven’t gotten used to the hotel yet.”
“What are you talking about? “Elderly?”
“I came in in the morning, lit the fire, and suddenly it was night. What nonsense is this? This is not the hotel mentality. Ah, something unusual is going to happen, so the hotel kindly decided to let us know in advance by making it night! “This is the correct hotel way of thinking.”
—-Rustling. thud. Rustling.
The sound of something approaching. Naturally, everyone became dead quiet.
What appeared was a bear that appeared to weigh over 500 kg.
If this was an ordinary camping site and we were ordinary tourists, wouldn’t everyone have screamed and made an uproar when the bear appeared?
Of course, there wasn’t a single person here who would scream something like ‘barely a bear’. Rather, ‘just one bear’ is all? I feel like I want to.
Jincheol will take care of at least one bear, right?
As expected, Jincheol, who was laughing, stood up lightly. People and bears. The weight classes were so different that it was almost laughable to compare them… . I don’t think I’ll lose at all. It’s not a devil, it’s just a bear. Wouldn’t Captain Korea be enough to beat it to death?
A person appeared before his brother.
Songi casually stood up and walked towards the bear, bringing it to the campfire as if she was bringing a huge puppy, and starting to feed it some of the meat she had piled up.
“…”
“…”
“I heard that your sister raised a lot of animals, but have you ever raised a bear?”
“No way. “No one in the world keeps a bear at home.”
“It doesn’t exist in Russia.”
“Well, then I’ll correct it to ‘not in Korea.’”
“It’s right in front of me?”
“The blessing has been strengthened, so I gave it a try. It works.”
blessing. Now that I think about it, the blessings of me, Songi, and Seungyeop have been strengthened since we left the sanctuary.
The reinforcement I got was confirmation of my colleague’s location.
“Now that you think about it, how did Songi and Seungyeop’s blessings become stronger?”
“Can I convey my thoughts to a chaotic entity that has favor with me? Can you convey emotions? It feels like that. “Even though he is not a highly intelligent person like my former teacher, but is at the level of an animal like this bear, I think I am now able to convey the message, ‘Come and eat with me.’”
“Don’t you mean a demon or similar monster? “This is a bear, right?”
“Seungyeop. Don’t be stupid. How could there be an ordinary bear in a place like this? “It seems like it will grow horns and wings when it’s time to fight.”
When Seungyeop was told by Ari that he was stupid, he shrunk.
After seeing that, Ari suddenly thought of something and walked over to Seungyeop, stroking her head.
Then Seungyeop opened up again and became energetic.
What are they really doing here? Are you filming a sitcom?
“Speaking of which, I’m asking, how has Seungyeop’s blessing changed?”
“Since that day, the transparent window has been floating. It’s 82% now. Also, I haven’t tested it, but I can click on the window. “If you press it, it says do you want to activate it?”
“Is the cooldown visible and can be used when desired? It’s incredibly useful. Ah, it feels like everyone’s blessings are getting stronger, but what about my ‘HP Market’? “What I’m always dissatisfied with is that there’s nothing in this market that helps me strengthen myself.”
“If you put it that way, my status window doesn’t seem to be of much help… .”
“Even if you make it stronger, it doesn’t mean much. “All I remember is that I died recently because I was manipulated by someone.”
Everyone’s mood became gloomy again.
—-Jalang. —-Gurgling.
A strange sound, like metal rubbing against each other.
Once again, everyone became dead quiet and began to pay attention, and the bear, which had been scooping up meat like a big puppy, suddenly turned into a scared puppy and immediately ran away without even looking back!
Ridiculously, the moment it ran away, the bear’s legs split into eight. It wasn’t an ordinary bear after all. In fact, wouldn’t the situation where the bear appeared earlier have been quite a crisis if it wasn’t Songi?
Someone – approached.
*
“Hello, how are you? I am a passing merchant. “Can I borrow a light?”
An unidentified being. The entire body is covered in bandages, so no skin is visible. Are you even human? Should I kick him out?
Jincheol moved quickly and moved between us and the merchant.
“If nothing else happens, how about going on your way? “The fire isn’t even enough for us to get some air.”
“haha. This is a little disappointing. Didn’t you say you were a merchant? “My items will be of great help to the hotel participants.”
this person. You know we are hotel contestants.
While Jincheol was panicking, a cheerful voice rang out.
“Come here and show me your stuff~!”
Does Ari know something?
As you already heard, the second hotel. Isn’t this a situation where they know more than we do?
The man who naturally occupied a corner next to the fire held out a piece of paper in front of us.
“This is a catalog of what I sell. I would like to share it with each of you, but unfortunately there is only one copy, so I will read it to you one by one. After all, shouldn’t we tell you the best thing first?
The first prize is an escape ticket from the hotel!”
!
surprised. no… . Suddenly a hotel escape ticket? Isn’t there something so amazing that came out?
My sister’s cold voice echoed throughout the hall.
“Nothing is free in this world. So, what is the price of this great thing?”
‘How much?’ Not even, ‘What is it?’.
Would the merchant who showed up at this hotel to sell suspicious items really want money in return?
“haha! It’s cheap. I promise. All of my items are as good as free compared to their value. This way, there are no costs left, right? “Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m a vendor or a volunteer!”
“Stop talking nonsense and just tell me the price.”
“Three lives of the participants.”
…
The inside of the cabinet was frozen.
“Why are you doing this? There are only 8 people here, what’s the big deal about 3 people? Besides, honestly, there are people who aren’t much help, right? The young friend there? “Do you think you are useful?”
“Hmph! “Yes?”
At the same time as Seungyeop took a step back in surprise – the punch flew.
—-Kwaaaang!
The merchant was blown away with a noise that sounded more like a cannon than a human fist.
“I was wondering if this guy was going to be helpful, but then a piece of trash showed up. He says don’t worry about it all and just eat the meat. “It’s like some kind of trash-”
The merchant who flew away came back as if nothing had happened.
“You bastard!”
“Haha~ This guy’s business is really hard. How can there really be so many customers? Did I sell something to you? “If you don’t like it, just don’t buy it.”
“Next item.”
What does Ari really plan on buying from this guy?
“Tell me the next thing. “I’m sure you didn’t bring one with you, right?”
“Of course. How can there be a merchant carrying even one product?
The second prize is none other than Legacy!
everyone. Isn’t it touching? There is absolutely no need to go through hardships and hardships in the hotel’s cursed rooms to get your inheritance. All you have to do is just buy it from me. “How can this be so convenient?”
“Now, whenever you talk about a product, you also talk about the price. “Stop talking nonsense.”
“Two lives for the participant.”
…
It looks like this again. What on earth is this guy? Is it some kind of role that divides a party that doesn’t get along well with each other? It’s surprising, but I think that if the 2:6 conflict structure had intensified yesterday, the atmosphere today would have been unusual. Eunsol’s decision to somehow suture the wound was correct.
“Oh, I really can’t stand it. Do you think I should rip out your head today?”
“Ugh. “Sir, I’m not making a hard sell, and I don’t know why you’re doing this!”
“Next stuff. And if the price is your life, just shut up and get the hell away. “Tell me a product whose price is not your life.”
“Oh my gosh, the number of customers here is smaller than I thought. Of course, there are cheap products, but isn’t cheap something cheap for a reason? “It’s insignificant compared to the right to escape or inheritance.”
—Peouk
This time Grandpa Mukseong kicked.
“This is the first time I’ve had such an unpleasant conversation since I came here. Just the product and the price. Just spit it out.”
“There are two cheap ones. First, an entry-level weapon box. What’s inside is random, so it’s fun! The price is two limbs for the participant.”
Two limbs from the participant. Could it be that those limbs are the limbs I know?
“Two limbs… .”
I have an eerie feeling. Is Ari really planning on buying that?
