My Villains Episode 221

47. Nightmare (3)

I feel like my head is going to explode.

Waking up in a modern mansion was confusing enough, but not only Kol, but Ellen, Utequoi, Munchi, and Hayla followed him here?

“I’m going back. “What on earth were you thinking by following me in, everyone?”

“It was an urgent situation. “Phoenix was being sucked into the black disk, so I was trying to stop it.”

“You guys were sucked in like that?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Cole, wearing a white straitjacket, was neatly rolling up his sleeves, which didn’t seem to be easy.

“I even remember being sucked into some kind of pitch-black cave. Finally, right after the princess came in,

“The mouth is blocked, and grunt-”

The sleeves of the straitjacket were uncomfortably long and the fabric was tough and thick. So no matter how neatly you fold it, it ends up bunching up like a thick bracelet near your wrist.

Kol glanced around the room for a moment and then looked at my behavior.

“Do you by any chance have a knife?”

“Does this seem like a good place for something like that?”

“… … “Do you know where this is?”

Cole, who was asking a question with a surprised face, said ‘Ah!’ He exclaimed.

“When Master Phoenix was sitting on the throne and losing consciousness, the vampire said something strange.”

“What?”

“I was shocked to hear that Poynix was building a dream territory. “When I noticed it, it seemed like something unexpected had happened.”

Cole swallowed dryly as he looked at the unfamiliar objects around him.

“Then, this is what Poynix made… … “Is this a dream territory?” “well?” He wrapped the stainless steel rod around the blanket on the bed where Cole was lying and twisted it with force. The bong, which had been swinging around like a taffy stick, broke as if torn apart with a blunt sound.

“I’m not sure because it’s a place too unfamiliar to be in my dreams. And because it’s so quiet, it feels ominous.”

“Is that so?”

“uh. “Give me your hand.”

Cole held out his drooping sleeves. After making a hole in an appropriate location with the sharp cross section of a stainless steel rod, I inserted my finger and hung it.

“But, well, dreams are arbitrary. “I’m not sure either.”

As I pulled on the sleeve, the dense fabric tore with a ‘clack’ sound.

“Anyway, it seems certain that this place is not real.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Isn’t it full of things you’ve never seen before?”

With both hands free, Cole cracked his knuckles and slowly stood up. Then, as he looked around the room, he found a small light window, stood in front of it, and let out a low exclamation.

“This is the same. Even the cathedral in Lemeric didn’t have transparent glass like this… …

“Is now the time to be amazed? Quickly grab whatever you need. “Get out.”

“Do you have any plans?”

“First, we should look for other colleagues. “I might be tied up nearby like you.”

“Um, I understand.”

While Cole searched the room, I looked at the wall through the skylight.

“… … what?”

Can you see the gate?

Perhaps because I turned a corner in the hallway, I could see the direction of the mansion’s entrance from this room.

A small, gently rippling pond and a stone-paved path were visible between well-groomed trees. And at the end of the road, there stood a large, shiny black door that could not be determined whether it was made of iron or wood.

… … A black gate on a gray wall. It’s a combination that shouldn’t be strange, but somehow it feels odd.

Meanwhile, Cole looked as calm as usual.

As a resident of Middle World came to the modern room, everything must have been unfamiliar and strange, but it seems that he had suppressed his curiosity for a while as if he understood the strangeness of the situation.

However, despite his calmness, he could not find anything particularly useful. He had things like an unresponsive intercom and plastic clothes hangers, but he couldn’t use those items as weapons.

“… … Shall we look around from the inside?”

Cole, who followed me to the door, opened his mouth slightly when he saw the cozy light emitted by the acrylic lighting. Then I came to my senses and quickly nodded.

“… … That would be nice. Do you know which side is inside?”

“I woke up there. Follow me.”

Even though we didn’t say anything, we kept our voices very low. I took the first step, and Cole followed me, making no sound.

at that time.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose.

-You want to go back to that horrible place? self? How could you do such a stupid thing?

“eww ”

Oh, why are you doing this all of a sudden? Just like when I first woke up here, my head hurts and my chest feels tight… … .

“Phoenix?”

“… … “Well, it’s nothing.”

He waved his hand roughly and forced his legs to move.

Headaches and frustration increase in intensity with every step.

It added up, but I couldn’t just sit down and whine. It was partly because she was worried about her colleagues who might be trapped somewhere that she didn’t know about, but she also didn’t want to seem embarrassed to Cole.

As I walked around in a half-conscious state, I reached my room.

The sound of a grand piano can be heard beyond the maroon door. A familiar melody. Tempest 3rd movement.

… … uh? Even if the melody is okay, how do you know the name of the song? I am completely ignorant of music.

No, let’s leave the question aside for a moment.

As I stopped and adjusted my grip on the stainless steel rod, Cole, who was following me, asked a question.

“Why are you doing that?”

When he looked back, a puzzlement appeared in his eyes.

“… … “Can’t you hear this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Piano sound.”

“What is piano?”

I made blank eye contact with Cole, who narrowed his eyes, and the sound of the piano grew louder. Even the sound of gently touching the keyboard pierces the eardrums like the sound of thunder. Cole still looked like he didn’t know what was going on.

“… … Ha, I’m going crazy.”

I couldn’t bear the frustration and threw open the door.

Suddenly, the piano sound stopped.

“Whoa, whoo-”

I looked around the room, holding the stainless steel rod with trembling hands.

There was no one in the room.

After the piano sound that had been piercing my ears stopped, the headache and chest pain disappeared as if they had been washed away.

Although my son-in-law was still quiet, I suppressed the ominous feeling and searched each room with Cole.

“I can’t believe there’s no one in this large mansion… … . “What on earth are we doing here?”

There were a total of thirty-six doors lined up in a hallway that was curved in the shape of the letter 己, and every one of them was wide open. It was a trace of our search.

“… … “It was probably a facility to confine people.”

“Training people? “Are you saying it’s a prison?”

“It’s somewhat similar.”

“But how do you know that?”

“You were tied up like a prisoner, and all the windows were locked. No, it wasn’t just that it was locked, it was structured so that it couldn’t be opened from the beginning.” “Isn’t it strange to leave glass windows in a prison? “If you want, you can break the glass and escape.”

Without realizing it, I burst into laughter.

“I guess it’s not glass that breaks that easily?”

“… … “Are you saying it’s an enchanted object?”

“It’s similar. And no matter how I wake up and leave, I don’t think the yard will be empty.”

“O ugh”

—HB”.

Cole, possessed by the silence, looked back while adjusting the handle of the rolling pin he had obtained from a certain room.

“So do you want to go downstairs?”

“That’s right. “Shouldn’t we search through everything?”

“you’re right.”

Kol licked his dry lips as if he felt uncomfortable and muttered, ‘It would be nice if bugs cried.’

Cole is as master of the poker face as Heyla. When that guy ■ shows signs of being nervous, instead of making me anxious, I somehow feel relieved. Should I say that I feel reassured that I am not the only one who is scared?

We slowly went down the stairs.

Unlike the cozy hallway reminiscent of a hotel, the stairs with thick fire doors had a very desolate atmosphere, perhaps due to the pale lighting. The floor was made of cold rubber, so there was a ‘snap’ sound every time the soles of my bare feet fell.

Even that small sound echoed in the sealed staircase and was amplified several times, irritating my nerves.

All that was visible beyond the iron railing without any handprints was the stairs leading downward. If there had been stairs leading to the upper floor or the rooftop, I would have been a bit concerned, but luckily the floor we were on seemed to be the highest floor.

As I passed the landing and came downstairs, I saw a fire door like the one seen above blocking my path. After looking down the stairs to the lower floor for a moment, I placed my hand on the long button-type door with the word ‘Push’ written in yellow letters on a red background.

It was at that moment that something strange happened.

I hadn’t even pressed the button yet, but there was a ‘clunk’ sound coming from the room’s door.

I unconsciously took a step back, holding my breath, and Cole also took a step back, aiming the gunny sack toward the fire door.

What appeared before us in confusion was,

She was a lady with a warm appearance.

“oh?”

The woman, wearing a light green nursing uniform that would be worn at an oriental medicine clinic and holding a black hardcover file on her chest, widened her eyes when she saw me.

“Isn’t it time for a walk now?”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

“And the patient over there.”

The middle-aged nurse opened the file and quickly flipped through the plastic pages. As I swiped through the large keys of Poynix, all the papers stuck in the vinyl were blank and white… … .

At some point, the plastic pages that were busy turning came to a halt. The nurse looked at the file, then looked at Cole and frowned.

“That’s right. You don’t have permission to walk. “How did you get out?”

After receiving the question, Cole blinked and looked back at me.

“… … “It seems like an Eastern language.”

It looks like he doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

I left the call, licked my lips for a moment, and then asked the nurse a question in familiar Korean.

“Where am I?”

“yes?”

The nurse, who was frowning, let out a quick laugh and waved her hand.

“Do you think this is a joke? Please go back to your room before calling Director Heo. “The patient over there, too, come on.”

She was giving off a hint of boredom. Me and Cole talking as if we were very familiar, it was like we were doing a play.

“… … “First of all, please tell me where this is.”

“I’ll tell you when I get back to my room.”

The nurse who responded harshly closed the file and sighed deeply.

“And, you know that the lady is coming in the afternoon, right? “Please understand that I will definitely report this matter.”

“miss? “What kind of lady?”

“I think that’s because the patient over there will also tell Choi Gan. Now, go, come on!”

The nurse said that and pushed my arm.

However, there was no way I would back down from the touch of an ordinary woman, and she suddenly got irritated.

“Oh, why are you so disobedient! “Go back before you get angry!” “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but where are the others?”

“This is your final warning. “I’m calling Director Heo, really?”

She took out her cell phone from her pocket with a stern look on her face. Cole leaned in close to the glow from her old-fashioned smart phone.

“Phoenix, do you see that? “It’s a magic tool.”

“It’s not dangerous, so stay still.”

“What is she saying now? “Do you understand?”

When Cole asked me, looking sideways at me, the nurse shouted loudly with her face turning red.

“What are you doing if you’re not moving fast! “I have to prepare dinner soon!”

“Phoenix, something is strange-”

“Stay still, you two!”

Cole was clutching his head and screaming, but he was extremely nervous and the nurse was screaming loudly, and the misunderstanding was growing as they glared at each other.

“Ugh, uh, really-!” The nurse, who was shaking her fist, suddenly threw away the cell phone and file she was holding.

“I barely escaped from the poop that I was cleaning after my old friends, but do I have to deal with these crazy bastards? why me?”

The nurse, who had looked so calm just a moment ago, not only turned red in the face, but even her blood vessels began to bulge.

“Why did I commit such a big crime that I was chased to a place like this? Is taking a few painkillers such a big mistake? “You damn bastards!”

Cole kicked the cell phone that had fallen on the floor down the stairs and aimed the push pin at the nurse, whose face was contorted into a vicious figure.

“Phoenix, what is this woman saying?”

Just before I could answer, the nurse turned her head.

No, I wasn’t turning my head. My neck began to twist 360 degrees.

“You fucking bastard-”

The twisted neck stretched so long that the head rose as if it was touching the ceiling, and a thick injection needle sprouted from where the fingernail had been.

“It’s time to take your medicine!”

In front of the strange-looking nurse, whose entire body was dyed red and blue, with only her neck sticking out, I froze for an instant.

I was scared as I had attacked without hesitation a troll several times larger than the nurse in front of me or a ghoul dozens of times more terrifying.

At that moment, I realized what I had lost before arriving in this world.

Fighting, anger, hatred, revenge.

A broken sense of superiority that can only be relieved by defeating an opponent with force, a twisted aesthetic intoxicated by the trajectory of a sword, a thirst for blood, an impulse to kill, and a desire to tear apart and destroy something beautiful and whole.

A cruel and nasty ego created by mixing the darkness of Kim Seung-soo and Phoenix.

That ego, the darkness that had made me an undefeated warrior, had been completely torn away.

“••••••Uh, ugh.” While I was foolishly taking a step back, Cole launched himself and attacked the nurse, no, the monster.

“Sigh!”

Cole, who had a body that exceeded the average level thanks to his diligent training, lashed out with the force of a wild beast.

As the sharp edge of the push pin stuck into the twisted neck, the monster screamed at a high pitched ear-piercing sound.

“Kyaaaaa, you bastard!”

With that, the monster extended both arms and inserted a needle into Cole’s body.

“Ugh,”

The thing in the monster’s hand was a thick needle, almost like an iron needle, but it didn’t seem to cause any serious damage because it didn’t hit the vital area.

Cole groaned and kicked the ground again,

“••••••Ugh.”

I let out a suppressed voice and lost my balance and fell down the stairs.

“Ko, call!”

I had been trembling miserably until then, but I forced myself to take a step.

“X arm,”

With the thought that no matter how scared I was, I couldn’t watch my subordinate die right in front of me, surprisingly, my body performed a movement that was close to instinct.

He threw a spear, or rather a stainless steel rod, and pierced the monster’s stomach, then grabbed its legs and knocked it down in one fell swoop. And he broke all of his arms so easily, as if he was touching a toy doll.

“… … uh?” I once again felt the power of my body, but at the same time, a glimmer of courage rose up amidst the fear filling my heart.

With that courage, I grabbed the screaming monster by the throat. And right before he gave strength to his anglerfish and ripped off the neck that hung down like a sundae,

“Off, huh, manager! Chief Heo-!”

The monster, which was screaming loudly, suddenly died with a loud sound.

“Ha, ha, sir—”

Before I could sigh in relief, I heard a pounding sound from far away.

It was a roar similar to the one I saw a while ago when Drake lunged at me… … .

I felt the handful of courage I had welling up quickly subside, so I quickly grabbed my phone and headed upstairs.
