Where should I go?
Grandfather Silence opened his mouth.
“I think this is a problem that has been answered to some extent. Before that, I would like to mention once again the interpretation of the hint.”
“Grandpa, please tell me.”
“I’m not saying that your interpretation is necessarily wrong. However, the hotel’s hint seems to say ‘don’t be prejudiced,’ but if we blindly trust your interpretation, it could itself become ‘another prejudice.’”
“That makes sense.”
“The hint related to the strange family was interpreted as [the source of the curse is not the family]. I can’t think of any other words for this part. I’ve never been to the strange family in the first place, so I’ll skip it.
The hint related to the mansion of fear was interpreted as [Get rid of the prejudice that you have to go towards the mansion]. How about thinking about this a little more? Besides the ‘mansion’, there are quite a few more ‘two-letter’ places that I think we should go to. “Cathedral” and “study” come to mind.”
“…”
Ari received the word.
“I also think of more: ‘underground’ and ‘lake.’
I thought I had to go to the cathedral because I needed to use the bell, and I thought I had to go to the study because I needed to get information. I went underground to see what was there, and I also went to the lake because I thought I had to dig through the lake to escape. There are so many places with two-letter names that I can’t say they are ‘mansions’.
Rather, I think the two people were so caught up in the concept of ‘let’s expand the stage’ that they came to the conclusion that ‘we need to get out of the mansion itself’. “I think I should go to the mansion itself.”
Both members of the administration gave opinions in the same direction.
This means that the hints in the Mansion of Fear should not be interpreted as ‘get out of the mansion’.
…
It makes sense. I’ll have to think about it some more.
“Hmm. Let’s think about the issues related to the mansion further together. Grandpa, it looks like you’ve already made up your mind on where to go. Can you tell me?”
“I think we should definitely go with the Strange Family. What is the most important thing when deciding on a room for us to try again?
It’s the difficulty of escape.
If you retry, you must always secure an escape. Is escape 100% certain? Then it’s no different from waking up. If you try repeatedly, you will eventually solve it. Of course, I understand that there is some kind of limit to the number of times.”
Limited number of times. After saying those words, his grandfather looked towards Ari.
“Please note that I am not sure. As far as I know, there is no major problem up to 4 times, but I heard that if the number of retries exceeds 5, it starts to get weird.”
…
For a moment, everyone became quiet.
“Ari. Is that by any chance?”
“Sister. This is what I heard during the first episode. I haven’t experienced it myself. I don’t even know exactly what ‘getting weird’ means.”
Ari’s second stay at the hotel.
It must be reliable information. There is no problem up to 4 retries. After the 5th episode, things start to get weird. I remembered it. I’ve already written one episode. Additionally, be prepared to resolve the issue within 2 to 3 sessions.
“In other words, we must secure an escape and attempt a solution.
Compare the two rooms again in terms of difficulty of escape. The Mansion of Horror can actually be very difficult to escape. The way to escape from the mansion is to make it impossible to offer the 6 people as a sacrifice. So, since there are 8 of us, if 3 of us commit suicide right from the start, we can assume that our escape is confirmed.
But think again. ‘I’ and ‘Ari’ have now joined the party. Are they going to make us NPCs again?”
“What do you think we will do?”
Ari answered.
“I’m curious about that too. Maybe they can make us NPCs again, or they can just fill us in with other people. If we fill them in with other people, the total number of sacrifice candidates that the ‘elder’ can offer at that point will be 10.”
understood.
With Ari and Grandpa Mukseong joining us, if new butlers and maids are added, there are 10 candidates for sacrifice.
To ensure 100% escape in this situation, three suicides are not enough.
Even if 3 people commit suicide, there are still 7 people left, and the elder can still win if he sacrifices 6 of the 7 people.
“Maybe five people, not three, should commit suicide.”
“So, it has to be done with only three people, but the number of people is limited too tightly.”
“Continuing the story I told you earlier. I’m sure everyone understands now, but escaping from the Mansion of Horror is more difficult than you might think.
On the other hand, look at Strange Family. Isn’t it enough to just prevent contact with family and increase physical distance?
It was my first attempt because I didn’t know what I was doing, so if I prepare mentally in advance, I actually don’t need any great mental defense measures. “Isn’t it okay to just close your eyes, cover your ears, and run as soon as you start?”
“I understand roughly what Grandpa said, but I’ve been curious about one thing since a while ago.”
I always feel it, but Ari mixes up polite and informal language with everyone. Again, there was no one who pointed out things like the way they spoke in such a bizarre place.
“Me and my grandfather have no family. What happens then?”
…
Aria, I thought so, but this was the first time I learned that my grandfather also had no family. What really happens?
“Wouldn’t it create a family that doesn’t exist?”
“Hmm. I don’t know.”
“For now, let’s decide to try again with the Bizarre Family. Does anyone have any other thoughts?”
No one expressed any objection.
Overall, I was persuaded by the silent grandfather’s opinion.
First of all, what is Escape from the Mansion of Horror?
No matter what the numbers are, the key point is that ‘several people’ must commit suicide as soon as it starts. This itself was a very painful decision, even though no one said it out loud.
To put it bluntly, shouldn’t the relatively low-worth among us commit suicide? ‘Who’ should die? It’s a painful decision just thinking about it.
It was decided to try Strange Family again.
After finishing the meeting, we chatted a bit and then everyone went to bed early.
I thought about it as I went to bed.
Tomorrow, as soon as you enter, block your view with the status window filter and run out of the house.
*
We had a hearty breakfast and distributed equipment. When it comes to equipment, the only equipment I have for now is a gun and red pills. Grandpa Mukseong took the gun, and Jincheol took the red pills.
Just before entering room 101. The last meeting was brief.
“Everyone understands, right? At first, just shut up and everyone will try to escape. A few of the people who are easiest to escape will continue to escape, and the rest will proceed.”
“yes!”

Sage Advice: 3]
As soon as I came to my senses, I put a filter on my surroundings without even a second of hesitation. Blurred vision that I have now become accustomed to.
Indeed, as soon as the filter was used, normal thinking was possible. It feels like something is just buzzing in my ears. I ignored it and came out of the room.
When I deliberately blurred my eyes, I could only see the images of my male ‘family’. What an atmosphere to say. I ignored it and immediately shouted.
“I’m going to go to the convenience store and get something to drink!”
You have to make an excuse to leave so they don’t catch you.
I opened the door and went out of the house –
As soon as I got out, I fucking ran!
After running for about 10 minutes.
A notification popped up.
/You succeeded in escaping!/
Is it easy?
Isn’t there anyone who can’t do this? Is it escaping just by running?
When I first came in, I guess I just didn’t know what to do.
I waited to see everyone again in a comfortable mood.
As I found out later, not everything was this easy.

too bad.
Elena thinks this room is too unfair.
Run away as soon as it starts. But what should I do with someone who starts in the same room as my sister?
My mind is already blurry before I can do anything?
Shouldn’t we at least start by separating them?
ah. When I think about it, my family has become poor due to being in exile for a long time, so our house is small. My sister and I still share the same room. So, this is what happened.
Discrimination against the poor. too much.
The person who designed this room must be a capitalist pig who should be stabbed with a bamboo spear.
I felt my consciousness fading.
/You failed!/

—Thump thump thump!
“miss!”
Ah, this looks like a dog. The perfect escape method from Room 101 that everyone thought of during the meeting.
‘As soon as it starts, close your eyes, cover your ears, and run out of the house.’
That simple escape method was so difficult for me. The problem is simple.
I’m so rich.
Other people talked about getting out of the house as if they could do it in 3 seconds by leaving their room.
however
When you come out of the bedroom, there is ‘my living room’, when you come out of ‘my living room’, there is ‘my dressing room’, when you come out of ‘my dressing room’, there is the ‘real living room’, and when you go to the front door from the ‘real living room’, you have to go through the ‘dining room’ and the ‘dining room’ What should a person with a ‘garden’ do?
Is it possible to avoid other people while leaving such a long space?
There is also another problem. Others made it sound as if they only had to avoid two or three people, including their parents and siblings, until they got out of the house.
however
What should I do with a person who has about 5 employees and bodyguards walking around the house all the time?
So I was stuck from the start. Covering your eyes and ears with clothes and running?
—Thump thump thump!
“Miss! Are you inside?”
I’m sorry, but that’s the result.
The ‘lady’ in the house suddenly ran away, covering herself with something, as if she had lost her mind. Everyone was so surprised that they rushed towards me, so I couldn’t run properly and ended up stuck in the bedroom again. I didn’t even think about going out the window like Seungyeop. My house has a thorough security system. I don’t want to burn to death.
Sorry everyone.
No matter how I look at it, it seems impossible to proceed in this room.
Cause I’m so rich Discrimination against the rich. It’s too much.
The person who designed this room must be a communist.
Everyone, please work hard for me!
/You failed!/

– Kim Muk-seong
There was something I was very curious about even before I entered the room.
What happens to people without family? After seeing the answer to the problem, Kim Muk-seong lost his speech.
“Father? Are you hurt?”
“Grandpa? What are you doing standing still?”
The correct answer is ‘Imitate a dead family member.’
iced coffee.
Know. ‘They’ are not real. My son and my grandson are no longer from this world. We need to increase our distance immediately. If necessary, you should at least shoot them with a gun.
…
I feel so sorry for my ‘real colleagues’ out there.
However… Mukseong could not take his eyes off the sight of his son and grandson who appeared before him for the first time in 20 years.
I feel my consciousness becoming blurred. This one mistake will be enough.
…
Ari is going to have a hard time.
/You failed!/

woke up
The moment I looked around, I was mesmerized. I was curious until just before entering.
How can a hotel embody my family and my home?
My mother is dead, and I just wander around the house, doing whatever the administration gives me.
I was born in a hotel.
What the hotel thought was my home was a ‘hotel of the past’.
As a result, I entered room 101 and had a strange experience that occurred in room 103.
Isn’t there anyone who thinks it’s strange that it’s number 103?
By my standards, the rest room during the first session was room 103.
By the way, I get a feeling when I see that they woke me up in a ‘hotel of the past’ like this.
An ominous feeling.
—Boom boom!
“Ariya! Why aren’t you coming? I’m hungry!”
A voice that is so similar to mine, yet cannot hide its childishness.
A person who came before me and shaped me, but is younger than me.
my mom
The hotel doesn’t need to mess with him, he’s just a crazy person.
