I entered the hospital in extreme tension.
Contrary to expectations, the twisted nurses did not attack right away.
Rather, it was like greeting someone like they did when they first entered yesterday.
However, perhaps because my older brother and grandfather were in a violent mood, the twisted nurses also put their hands inside their bodies –
“Both of you, lower your weapons!”
I came to my senses. This situation. If I do well, I think I can avoid a fight.
Only then did my older brother and grandfather hide their tonfas and guns behind them, as if they had realized the situation.
The tension eased.
…
what? Surely, didn’t a notification pop up when you entered room 101?
[The adversaries recognize the participant’s intrusion.]
Wasn’t this why ‘Kim Sang-min’ manipulated those infected with the curse to attack us?
I don’t know why, but it was good if this hospital treated us like ‘customers’.
I asked for ‘advice’ just in case.
‘How about asking the hospital to treat Elena?’
[I will treat Elena now.]
… Vague answer. ‘now’.
Does that mean things can change over time?
This is what I have felt since I started actively writing ‘advice’.
This power does not feel like an all-purpose strategy book that will give you all the knowledge you want.
Rather, it seems like a hint that combines the information I have already gathered, or goes ‘slightly’ further.
There is no other way. I feel it the most as I carry Elena.
If things continue like this, Elena will die.
“Patient! There is a patient! He is bleeding heavily. First aid is needed. Now!”
My older brother and grandfather seemed taken aback by my sudden action of jumping out and holding out Elena.
Three nurses came over and carried Elena somewhere.
… In that moment, even with the filter in place, I became dizzy thanks to the curse written on me by the nurse.
Is Elena going to be okay? Since ‘Justice’ was still active, she believed that she would endure the curse.
My brother said worriedly.
“I heard that they treat you as a guest when you come in, but even so, will they even give you treatment? Aren’t they going to kill Elena?”
“If you were planning on killing us, wouldn’t you have attacked us as soon as we entered the hospital? Besides, if you were planning on killing Elena, you could have just stabbed her as soon as you got there. Is there a need to enter the hospital bed with so many people like that?”
“Stop talking and look over there.”
When I looked to the side, I saw a nurse going to Elena’s room, dragging a tray containing blood transfusion packs and bandages.
“It looks like you are really planning to heal my sister.”
“Well, didn’t you know that when you enter the entrance, it becomes like an ordinary hospital? An emergency patient has entered an ordinary hospital, so of course we have to treat him. Now, let’s go to that guy named Kim Sang-min’s room.”
The moment you turn to go upstairs.
An intense pain came over me.
“Ugh! Ugh~!”
I instantly fell to the floor and rolled a couple of times.
When I lost consciousness and came to my senses late, a lump of blood, teeth, and flesh came out of my mouth. I felt like throwing up when I saw that disgusting sight.
When it became clear that my condition was not normal, the nurses around me approached me.
… I think the situation will get more serious when the nurses approach.
“Anyway, it’s not the time to treat just Elena. The place where the curse went deepest was the house, right?
“I have a gun, Songi has a bracelet, and the boar is strong, so we ended the fight quickly, but it seems like the curse hit you the hardest while you were fighting with your clothes on.”
“it’s okay.”
“No, no one can see that it’s not okay. Aren’t even the internal organs damaged?”
“…”
My brother also continued speaking.
“Gain. I think it would be better for you to just rest. Besides, in a way, you feel like the final insurance policy. Rather than trying to make a half-hearted effort and dying, I think it would be better to use Kangrim when we all fail.”
“You can know whether we are alive or dead with ‘location information,’ right? Check it as soon as you wake up, and if we are all dead, come down and destroy us, flesh and all.”
“… I will do that.”
The nurses approach.
The cause of my body’s destruction is a curse, so does it make sense for nurses who spread that curse to treat me?
…consciousness becomes blurred.
I couldn’t tell if it was because of the curse or because my body was so weak.
That was my last memory of being in this room.

– Cha Jin-cheol
My heart becomes heavy. Now three people.
We’re almost there.
…No matter how you look at it, it seems like it will be difficult for Songi to proceed any further.
Songi’s one arm, which had been visible but pretended not to know each other.
Now it looks more like an alien creature than a human arm.
As they try to go upstairs to the hospital, a monster nurse approaches and makes strange noises. When Songi naturally went forward and said something about ‘Kim Sang-min’, the nurse stepped aside.
The old man next to me opened his mouth.
“This hospital.”
“yes?”
“It seems that ‘Kim Sang-min’s’ control is not working. The hospital seems to regard him as an ordinary patient. The other day, when Song-i shot himself in the flesh, the nurses attacked him, not because he was in control, but ‘because he was causing trouble at the hospital.’ Was it?”
“So who controls this hospital?”
“The hospital director. That bastard. I was left feeling uncomfortable until the last moment.”
After walking for about 10 minutes, we arrived near the hospital room where the culprit was said to be.
“Huhhh!”
When I turned around in surprise, I saw that one of Songi’s arms was strangling her neck!
I was so scared that I removed a piece of flesh that I couldn’t even call an arm anymore. When the large piece of flesh was removed, it split into three pieces and stabbed Songi’s body.
When they finally tore it all out, Songi, unable to bear the pain, began to scream.
… It’s painful for me too.
The old man approached with a gun.
“Songi, you can’t handle it anymore. Will you make it easier for me?”
The other arm with the bracelet on it moved weakly and touched me.
A white flash instantly filled the entire space!
A subtle halo began to radiate from my entire body.
When I looked towards Songi in surprise, she had already closed her eyes.
“Anyway, didn’t they gather up all their remaining strength and pour it on you? It looks like they used extremely powerful mental protection?”
“Well, I guess so.”
“Then run now! While it lasts, you’ll destroy that fucking piece of flesh! I’ll stop the nurses from coming here.”
—bang!
I opened the door and entered the hospital room.
A bizarre scene I’ve already heard of. As we entered a space that seemed almost like an alien planet rather than this world, a giant with a physique of over 3 meters appeared.
Wasn’t there any word that there was a guy like this? Did you prepare in advance because you knew we were coming?
Before I had time to think about anything, the monster’s arm attacked me.
…
First, let’s increase the distance. As long as the shape is similar to a human, the attack trajectory can also be predicted.
Three steps back.
A huge arm passes by me.
As I went straight inside, this time he blocked my approach by raising a knee as big as my torso.
Using that knee as support –
—bang!
I put all my soul into the guy’s head and uppercutted him with the tonfa.
The head is tilted back.
If it were a person, it would have exploded their head with such force, but the monster simply bent back.
This time he grabbed me with both hands.
I also stretched out both hands and grabbed his hand.
power struggle.
Considering his physique, it would be absolutely impossible, but it felt like a brief battle.
It’s worth a try!
“Ryaaaaaaaap!”
I screamed and pushed away the arm of the guy who was trying to strangle me.
Little by little, my strength overcame his strength and I began to push his arm away.
The moment the monster’s expression becomes distorted and its posture shakes –
I stretched out my right leg and kicked the guy’s leg violently.
In the end, it couldn’t hold out and the monster fell to the floor.
—bang! bang! bang!
—Kwaaaaaaaa!
It would be even stranger if there was no response from the hospital amid such a huge uproar.
Tremendous roars, screams, and gunshots came from behind me.
And a soft golden light penetrated into the hospital room.
Elena is awake!
Even outside the hospital room, Elena and the old man seem to be having a huge fight with the nurses.
Let’s end it quickly.
Without even taking a breath, he ran towards the giant and punched him like crazy.
Has about 10 seconds passed? The giant’s body went limp.
I think I’ve only used it properly once, but the tonfa couldn’t hold up and broke.
Well, it’s strange that a sturdy wooden stick can withstand the fight against these monsters.
“상민아! 이 개새끼야! 이제 너랑 나 사이에 아무것도 없다! 뒤질 준비 해라!”
A lump of flesh. see.
A ringing sound reaches my ears.
As I approached, a whining sound rang in my ears.
Well, it looks like he lived a miserable life in his own way. Who bothered me? Do I have a grudge against someone? What do I do?
“Ah! The kid is so fucking whining. Won’t you shut up? No matter what happened to you, if you made the world this way, you deserve to be beaten to death by me.”
… But how do you kill it?
Just beat it ignorantly.
—bang! —bang! —bang!
I think about it every time I hit it. If I had some of this strength outside, I would have been able to become a world champion in martial arts.
Oh, isn’t it? If I had this kind of power, I might have been dragged to the management bureau first as a monster.
My fist can break even concrete. There’s no way it could survive just a lump of flesh.
When the ‘piece of flesh’ scatters and only ‘pieces of flesh’ remain here and there.
I found a shiny stone.
…
The moment I tried to grab it, my fingers, which were heading towards the stone, split to the left and right, and a violent mutation occurred.
This is the culprit. The source of all circumstances.
Ignoring whether my fingers were torn or not, I pulled the stone out from between the pieces of flesh.
When the stone came out, the pieces of flesh fell apart and scattered.
Everything – starts to fall apart.
The hospital room, hospital, and broadcasting station disappear in that order.
When I turned my head, I saw the old man and Elena standing in the distance with surprised expressions.
An information window appeared.
/You succeeded!

Is it over now? It was really hard. There were moments when I felt sorry for everyone, so it was hard to lift my head, but this time, I am putting an end to it.
Please, let me rest now. No matter how strong you are, this kind of work is too difficult.
…
Why doesn’t it end? What else is left?
