Date: Day 21
Current location: Tier 1, Room 106 (Mission Room – Hotel Land of Hope)
Sage advice: 1]
4. Really? FALSE? Hall of mirrors.
I realized it only after I saw the monster attacking me and fell back and fell on my butt.
Monsters cannot pass through mirrors.
I hit the mirror again and again as if it were a wall I could never overcome, but the mirror didn’t even flinch.
Can’t you get over the mirror on your own?
I was so dumbfounded that I went in front of the mirror and gave the monster my middle finger a couple of times.
“Let’s not be alarmed. “Why are there so many monsters in this hotel?”
When I relaxed a little and looked upward, I saw only one place without a mirror.
As I watched, the number kept changing until it reached 59 minutes and 30 seconds.
The meaning of this is clear. This means that you have to escape this space within that time!
Let’s think about it.
Unless the structure of the maze itself changes, if you keep following along with your hand on one wall, the exit will inevitably appear.
Also, the monsters reflected in the mirror cannot come out of the mirror.
Isn’t it a simple problem?
Just ignore the monsters that won’t come out anyway and find your way.
I put my hand on the wall again and went forward. Just to be safe, she took off the cardigan she wore on her upper body and placed it on the floor.
It’s been about 10 minutes since I ignored the monster and moved on.
The cardigan that I had put down on the floor earlier reappeared. I returned to my original position.
I didn’t feel the structure of the maze change the entire time I was moving. Unless something has changed in an area I can’t perceive… .
There is no exit from this maze.
What if there is no exit? Simply put, you just need to create an exit.
mirror. Unless this mirror is some kind of bulletproof mirror, wouldn’t it break if you just hit it with your fist?
Coincidentally, there is a cardigan and a dagger. If you wrap your hand with a cardigan and hit it with the handle of a dagger, you will be able to wake it up without getting hurt.
Would breaking the mirror and leaving be the right choice?
I thought about it for a moment, but the clock on the ceiling said it was already 47 minutes. There is no point in wasting time. A decision must be made.
There is still one piece of sage advice left. In the bumper car, it tells you the location of the accelerator once, and in the gyro drop, it tells you to extend your hand towards Ari. There is only one thing left.
Although it often feels unhelpful, this advice has ultimately saved my life countless times. I’ll help you this time too.
On the other side of the mirror, a monster that looked similar to me at first glance, but with its head split into ‘four’ parts, was threatening me.
The moment when the dagger is raised to strike the mirror.
[If you hit it, you will be killed by the monster.]
I lowered the dagger again. I really did it just in case. If I break the mirror, will those monsters come over here? I had my doubts, but I never thought a real monster existed.
The monster on the other side of the mirror actually exists. I can’t climb over the mirror on my own, but if I carelessly break the mirror, the monster will jump over and kill me.
What do we do?
1. There is no exit from the mirror maze.
2. You must break the mirror to create an exit.
3. When I break the mirror, the monster on the other side of the mirror jumps towards me.
I was in confusion. Is this something that can only be defeated by someone like Jincheol who can fight and defeat a monster?
For some reason, it doesn’t seem like a problem that can be solved that way. From my experience so far, physical strength is not that important in getting through this hotel.
42 minutes. My heart is beating more and more. Is it the end if we pass this? If there are any next steps after passing, you need to make a decision quickly.
Isn’t there a safe mirror somewhere? For example, is there a mirror in which monsters do not appear?
After looking around, I ran and looked at the mirrors in the maze.
Not long after, I found a mirror that showed nothing even when I was standing in front of it.
Is this really the answer? Find the mirror without the monster and break it to create an exit!
I felt like I had finally found the answer. I tried to break the mirror again with the dagger handle –
It stopped. Now that we don’t have sage advice, we must act more cautiously.
Let’s think rationally.
Of course, the mirror with the monster appearing across from it is not normal.
But is a mirror that doesn’t reflect anything normal? This too is abnormal.
I calmly looked into the mirror, which reflected nothing.
?
Top right. I saw something shiny about shoulder height.
what? Feeling puzzled, I lifted my head towards her to take a closer look.
No, really, just do it in moderation, you crazy bastards.
I couldn’t breathe and I cursed.
Absurdly, the mirror that reflected nothing was actually a mirror where a monster was ‘hiding’.
An unknown monster that seemed to have been modeled after me was hiding outside the mirror holding a knife. The thing that was shining was none other than a knife.
As I got closer, I almost fainted when I saw that I, who had five eyes, was hiding with a knife and extended the knife as soon as he saw me.
There is no time. I feel like I’m going crazy, but I don’t have time to shiver.
Already 37 minutes. I really have to get out now. There is no guarantee that this is the end.
Let’s summarize the information we have obtained so far.
1. On the other side of the mirror is a monster modeled after me.
2. If I break the mirror, a monster will come over and kill me.
3. There are no safe mirrors. Even in mirrors that reflect nothing, there are monsters lurking in them.
no. 1. ‘A monster modeled after me’.
Will monsters appear even when I am not reflected in the mirror at an angle?
It is similar to number 3, but it is a different approach.
Number 3 is a situation where nothing appears even though it is the angle I am shining at. At this time, the conclusion was reached that a monster had in fact formed but was hidden.
So, will monsters appear even when the light is not illuminated from an angle in the first place?
I moved to the left side of the mirror in front and looked at it from an angle where my body was not reflected at all.
At first glance, nothing appeared.
…
Let’s make a decision.
Even if you think infinitely, there is no guarantee that you will find the answer. I struck the mirror by pushing the dagger in as much as possible from the outside of the mirror so that my entire body was not reflected in the mirror.
—-Clink!
…
I waited, but didn’t see any monsters.
I passed through the space created when the mirror broke.
*
/Ding dong dang! That’s correct. The participant passed first.
However, there are colleagues who have not yet passed. You can help your colleagues.
If necessary, how about choosing a more trustworthy version?/
Answer: By preventing the mirror from reflecting its body, the monster is prevented from forming, and then breaks the mirror with a tool to create an exit.
You got it right. But as you might have guessed, it wasn’t the end. You need to get another colleague to come out.
‘Choose a trustworthy appearance’
What is this?
*
As I walked out of the exit, I arrived at a strange room.
There were several huge full-length mirrors outside the room, and in the middle stood a board with ID photos of all of my colleagues attached to it.
And a huge clock
There are about 30 minutes left now.
When I arrived at the center of the room and looked at the full-length mirrors outside, I saw the images of my four colleagues who were still alive on the other side of the mirror. Cha Jin-cheol, Park Seung-yeop, Elena, Kim Ari.
I realized what I had to do.
From now on, I have to make my colleagues break the ‘mirror in which I see myself’ and come out and come into the room where I am.
I also understood the meaning of ‘Choose a trustworthy figure.’ Every time I touched the ID photo attached to the board in the center of the room, the ‘my image’ reflected in the mirror changed to the person in the ID photo.
*
30 minutes. Suffice. All I have to do is have my colleagues trust me and break the mirror to come out.
The most difficult thing. ‘Trust me’. How do I get my colleagues to trust me?
I thought about it from the perspective of my colleagues. You fall into a maze full of mirrors, and monsters that resemble you appear in the mirrors and threaten you.
At this time, ‘Han Ga-in’ suddenly appears in one of the mirrors and beckons me to come here.
Even though this is the case, will we trust ‘Han Ga-in’ and follow what she tells us?
Wouldn’t you think it’s just a mirror with another unidentified monster in it?
How can I make you trust me?
‘A board that can change its appearance’
Let’s think about this. There is no way they gave you unnecessary tools. Try using this.
What kind of person should I change into to attract my colleagues?
The first person that came to mind was Ari. The most mysterious girl among us. A girl whose abilities no one knows the extent of.
If it’s Ari.
If it’s Ari, wouldn’t it be possible to appear in someone else’s mirror through some kind of magical means?
In reality, it’s not important whether Ari can do it or not.
The important thing is that Ari, in the opinion of his colleagues, is a being capable of causing mysterious phenomena.
I immediately put my hand on Ari’s ID photo.
My reflection in the mirror changed to Ari.
different?
what? It resembles Ari, and although it looks almost the same, it is a bit different. His hair was almost silver.
Silver hair and red eyes, just like a cartoon character. The impression is also slightly different. A more gentle expression?
Has Ari’s black hair been dyed just now?
I don’t think there is a big problem. Aside from the hair color, anyone could see that it was Ari.
I went to Seungyeop first.
*
—-Clink!
Seungyeop came out with the sound of a mirror breaking.
Approximately 10 seconds. It’s really so easy. Because it is this easy, I feel defeated.
Just as Ari, he went to the mirror on Seung-yeop’s side and with a flick of his hand, he immediately stuck to the mirror, and when he pretended to hit the mirror, he immediately came out with a headbutt.
I think Seungyeop would run without hesitation even if Ari told him to come with his back to the lava.
“Huh? Bro? Where’s Ari?”
“…”
“brother?”
“I’m busy taking out other people right now, so stay over there.”
I roughly pushed Seungyeop aside and started rescuing others.
The next rescue target is… . Let’s go with Ari. For some reason, Ari is smart and seems like he will quickly figure out the situation.
The situation turned out completely differently than I expected.
*
“Mom? Mom? How on earth are you there?”
“…”
For the first time since arriving at this hotel, I saw Ari make a ‘childlike’ expression.
