Sage Advice: 2]
Will you continue to challenge No. 101?
Everyone was quiet.
In fact, it is difficult to talk about anything. This is something I encounter many times during discussions in hotels. To discuss something, you need a minimum amount of information, but since you don’t know how things are going to change, it’s difficult to give an opinion.
“Everyone seems to have a lot to worry about. I understand. I don’t think there’s any point in dragging this topic on for too long. Let’s decide it by voting.”
My sister just tore up the notebook, made several small pieces of paper, and handed them out.
I picked up the paper and thought.
It is true that I am afraid of entering room 101 again, where something has already become strange.
However, would it be easy to go to another room with insufficient qualifications? There is a high possibility that this will be the 5th time after escaping from that room several times.
Rather, it could have been a self-defeating move that would have been easy to beat if I had acquired another legacy and attempted the challenge 5 times after making a clumsy attempt with insufficient specs.
Regardless of my logical thinking, I didn’t even want to run away to another room after all the hard work we had done to figure out this and that.
Let’s see the end this time.
Even though we don’t know what to change or how to change it, we already have almost all the information related to solving the room!
/No.101/

Voting ended quickly. 6:2. Room 101 has 6 people. It has been decided.
“Then, this is the end of this matter. Now, let’s organize the last information we found about Room 101 and plan how to proceed in the last attempt. Ga-in?”
“I will finally summarize what I found out in the fourth attempt. When you open the rooftop door of the broadcasting station, it leads to the entrance to the hospital. According to looking inside the hospital, the spaces that appear when you violate the ‘precautions’ found at the broadcasting station seem to be part of the hospital. do.
In other words, the broadcasting station is connected to the hospital.
When we entered the hospital through the rooftop of the broadcasting station, the nurses did not act hostile and treated us like ‘guests’.
Why the reaction is different from when entering through other places. From a ‘hospital perspective’, wouldn’t a case where someone showed up at a place other than the main entrance be treated as a ‘wandering patient’?
If you go to the hospital room at the end of the hallway on the 4th floor, you will see a lump of flesh that was probably originally ‘Kim Sang-min’. I think destroying it will solve the problem.
For reference, the hospital room on the 4th floor is subject to extremely powerful mental attacks. Even my filter can’t handle it. “With the means we have now, the bracelet and the red pill will be all we can get by.”
The grandfather who had been listening continued to speak.
“The difficulty is that you can’t approach him on the 4th floor except for the bracelet and the red pill.”
Ari answered.
“No, there is one more person who can approach you.”
… Who is it?
“Elena, have you forgotten what happened at Hotel High?
Once ‘Justice’ was activated, my sister was not affected by the angel’s brainwashing at all. ‘Execution must not stop.’ I think that mechanism is functioning as some kind of immunity to mental attacks.
Elena’s sister? what do you think about it?”
“Oh! I see. I think it was definitely like that at Hotel High. But can we bring about justice? Most of the people in Room 101 are just victims of a curse.
“It is said that the being on the 4th floor of the hospital is not a person but a ‘piece of flesh.’”
“Elena, can I say it so simply?
listen carefully. In criminal law, people who are manipulated by others and used as instruments of crime are called ‘indirect criminal users’, right? Of course, these people will not be punished by law.
However, in the process of the police suppressing crime, these people must also be defeated and subdued. Only then will we be able to stop crime. Punishment in court is a separate matter.
I understand? Even if it is something like a victim of a curse, it can be suppressed separately from punishment.”
… A law lecture out of nowhere. What is this all of a sudden? A speech came out of nowhere and everyone was taken aback.
But Ari looked at Elena without wavering, and Elena nodded awkwardly.
“Listen more. You said that ‘Kim Sang-min’ has become a lump of flesh, so it’s hard to see him as a person, right? Isn’t that too one-dimensional?
What about the angel at Hotel Go? Even though he had wings, flew around, and had all kinds of superpowers, didn’t you think he was a ‘human’?
What is the difference between an angel and a lump of flesh? The former looks more ‘human-like’, so is it a human?
Anyway, they were both originally human, and later, through supernatural events, one became an angel and the other became a lump of flesh. “Isn’t it discrimination to treat only the former as people?”
What are you talking about? Why does discrimination come out there? I don’t know the purpose of this long conversation.
But Ari still stared at Elena.
In the end, Elena nodded under pressure from Ari who didn’t know what it was.
“Yes. Yes. I think Ari is right.”
“Then keep in mind. Even if they are victims of a curse, they can be subdued. Even if they look like a lump of flesh, they are originally human. Do you admit it?”
“I don’t know why you’re acting like this all of a sudden… but I’ll admit it.”
Ari and Elena’s philosophical(?) discussion, the purpose of which is unknown, has ended.
… It seems like Ari was trying to instill a certain ‘concept’ into Elena.
Vaguely, I felt like I knew something.
Couldn’t Ari have wanted to say this to Elena?
‘Aren’t broadcasting station employees and nurses also capable of subduing them? ‘Kim Sang-min’, who became a lump of flesh, was originally a human being, so isn’t he something that can be punished?’
I understand the meaning, but is it meaningful if Elena is persuaded by these words?
Unless the blessing changes as Elena thinks –
—widely!
Eunsol’s sister slapped the desk to get his attention.
“Okay! The conversation suddenly got sidetracked. Let’s go back to our original plan.
No matter how you get to the rooftop, you end up having to break a chunk of flesh there, right? The biggest problem is the mental attack that I can’t withstand even with Ga-in’s filter.
In the end, I think things have become simpler?
“I think Jincheol can take the red pill as soon as he enters and come to the broadcasting station.”
“I’m just wondering if the wild boar will make another mistake. Do you know what it means to take the red pill and gain immunity to mental contamination?
This means that since you won’t be cursed, teleportation is impossible. In short, like Ga-in or Song-i, you have to bring your family with you.”
Almost for the first time, my brother raised his head.
“I’ll take the medicine and take my mother with me.”
“That’s right. All you have to do is drag your family by force.”
As I was about to organize it, Ari answered.
“Wait a minute! Are you planning on taking Jincheol’s medicine as soon as he starts?”
“Do you have any other thoughts?”
“Yes. I think it’s better to save the red pill whenever possible and use Songi’s bracelet to solve the problem if possible. Songi protects your brother’s mind, and when you feel like that’s not enough, why not take the red pill?”
Ari looked at Songi, mentioning the Songi bracelet.
“Of course, based on what I have seen and seen in person, I can easily withstand it with the strength of the bracelet.”
“Consumables are ultimately meant to be used when needed, but is there a need to force them to save? Besides, this is the fifth attempt. It’s too risky to save anything. If you try to save and teleport back, there’s another accident where Jincheol brings his mother. “What are you going to do?”
“I won’t make the same mistake again. And, you have Elena, right? It’s a precious consumable that can only be used once, so there’s no need to eat it right from the start, right?”
Looking at Elena’s expression, it seemed like she wasn’t confident, but Ari naturally put her in the ‘combatant’ category.
Songi also responded positively.
“This time, I’ll go as fast as I can. Still, I can’t go as fast as ‘teleportation,’ so Jincheol, why don’t you leave about 10 minutes late? Then, if there’s an accident, I can use the bracelet to deal with it.”
If Song-i arrives before Jin-cheol, even if he makes a mistake, he can somehow fix it. A problem that can be solved by dropping both hats through hallucinations.
While listening to the conversation, I felt that not only Ari but also Song-i think that it is better to save on the ‘red pill’ if possible.
Both ideas are understandable.
Since this is a dangerous situation, it makes sense to eat it as soon as it starts, and since it is a precious consumable that can only be used once, it also makes sense to save it until it is absolutely necessary.
“Anyway, the one you’re going to eat is the wild boar, so let him decide.”
“I’ll save it for now and go a little later like Song said.”
“I’ve said everything I wanted to say. Does anyone have anything more to say?”
I was exhausted, and my plan became clear. Everyone finished eating and rested without saying anything.
Tomorrow, we will receive our second miscarriage.

Sage Advice: 3]
We all looked at each other and finalized our plans.
1. Gather together at the broadcasting station.
2. Eliminate the staff and go to the rooftop to enter the hospital.
3. Pretending to be a guest, he arrived at Kim Sang-min’s room.
4. Use the power of the red pill or bracelet to remove lumps of flesh.
The most important role ultimately comes from Jincheol.
It was confirmed that the ‘nurses’ would approach when they started attacking the flesh. In the end, considering the fight with the nurse, one gun is not enough.
As everyone’s eyes turned to Jincheol, he also nodded.
I won’t make that mistake twice.
“Huh… I’m nervous as I go in. How on earth will it change? Ga-in, does anything come to mind for you?”
“I’ve thought about several scenarios, but the more I think about it, the less I want to go into it.”
Entered.

– ???
sick. it hurts. Since when did it start? It hurts everywhere.
Is my arm hurting? Are your legs hurting?
…
Why do I have no arms or legs?
I don’t know. My whole body became a lump that felt nothing but pain.
I feel resentful.
who?
…
I don’t know. Originally, I think there were people who were very hateful… .
I can’t remember anyone’s face anymore.
I hate the world. I hate the world that left me alone in pain.
Twist! Twist!
I let out my screams to the whole world. Until the whole world is twisted and twisted like me!
…
No matter how twisted the world was, my suffering did not end.
iced coffee.
teacher. Director, teacher. Where are you in now?
The moment when I was gripped by the greatest despair.
The moment when I lost all hope because everyone was pushing me.
At that time, the teacher came to me and handed me a ‘star’.
Please come back.
Please don’t abandon me.

[The participant’s fifth attempt begins!]
An incomprehensible phrase.
‘Eyes’ has long since disappeared, so how on earth am I seeing this phrase?
…
Now, incomprehensible information was pouring into my head without me even knowing where it was.
…
iced coffee! I get it.
Those guys who want to cause me pain again have come in.
Not a single one will survive.
Kill them all. Until the entire star is filled with corpses!
