Chapter 1047 – Surviving the Main Store.

Few!! The flesh monster’s body contorted.
Looking to the side, a female employee with a lively impression flew like a rocket and was kicking.

“There are only crabs!! They say they come from somewhere!!”

Other users also stood up and glared at the monsters approaching.
Their eyes were full of fighting spirit and rage without fear.

‘…Is your mental defense working?’

Yun also took a fighting stance.
All employees. In other words, when the users took a combat stance, powerful energy was released.

Even though a fairly vast amount of mana flowed, the monsters approached with a stupid sound, as if they didn’t feel it, and they were all killed in one second.
The lively female employee brushed off her blood and looked down at the fat male employee who had died earlier.

“Damn it. You fat pig. That’s why I told you to train yourself normally, so you get beaten by these sluggish things.”

Took. Took. She put on a pitying expression as she touched the corpse of her male employee with her foot.
Soon his corpse burned, and soon disappeared into ashes.
Yuni Ho. Moaned.

“…These monsters have nothing to do with eight.”

Burning a corpse means that the user’s body has returned to the ‘starting point’.
Of course, there are cases where even if the body burns and disappears, it does not resurrect. Yun intuitively felt that this fat male employee had used up her resurrection rights.

‘The monsters of the mind realm created by Yeodere were very fearful regardless of their strength.’

Come to think of it, the praying mantis monster. Or a giant ship. Giant tree insects. Its attack power is enormous, and it can kill users in an instant, and the problem is that such beings radiate out almost infinitely. If there are dozens or hundreds of them, users will be able to calmly use their special privileges to simply knock them down.
However, I was distracted by the urgent situation and could not respond calmly.

‘It means that the mental defense didn’t work.’

There is something that pierces even the user’s mental defense, which allows them to stand in front of the body of all gods who were once absolute gods.

But now something didn’t work.
Even though they were in a situation where the shelter they entered could be hell, everyone calmly dealt with the monsters.

It was said that the inside of the headquarters was completely safe in the heart world.

‘At least for now.’

Yun tilted her head as she looked around at the fragmented corpses of the monsters.

“Then what are these…?”

Why did these monsters appear in the head office, which was not affected by the mental world?
Yoon felt uneasy at the thought that a variable she did not know appeared.

“More than that. I had a good idea.”

A man with impressive narrow eyes raised his hand.

“Good idea? Which one?”

When the light-eyed man asked, the narrow-eyed man shook his head vigorously.

“Did you see that fat friend’s corpse disappear? Hey you. Are you close with that friend?”

When she asked the lively female employee, she said yes.

“I’m usually good at talking.”

Now that I look at it, I can see that she has a great body.
Maybe it was her relationship with that male employee of hers chasing after her earlier, Yoon thought.

“If you’re close, did you tell me how many resurrection tickets were left…?”

The surplus of resurrection tickets is a sensitive subject as it is like each user’s trump weapon.
She couldn’t help but be wary of the questions.
The lively female employee did not say anything because the situation was the situation, but answered hesitantly.

“…I think he said he had one left.”
“Also!!”

A narrow-eyed man snapping his fingers.

“You mean that if you die inside the headquarters, the right to resurrect will work?

What is this guy talking about? Half of them looked like that.
But half of them were very rude.

“That’s right! This friend has been properly resurrected! Come to think of it, wasn’t he able to be resurrected even if he was killed by the monsters of the depths that chased us earlier? Maybe the only ones left after being killed by eight days were those who were hit by the cutting knife?”

At that moment, Yoon stepped forward.

“Right. You have a point.”
“Eh.”

The lively female employee put on an expression as if she had been betrayed, saying that she couldn’t believe you would say that.

And Yoon immediately spoke.

“But I think the resurrection right doesn’t work if you die from the power related to the eight days. I don’t think you can’t be resurrected unless you die with a cutting sword.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Recall what happened earlier. The ones that shot us were the heads of our head office employees…? They were used as bullets because there were corpses left behind, but I don’t think eight days would have killed all of them.”

In eight days, he must have killed that many comrades with his own slicing knife…

‘…Maybe. Let’s skip that possibility for now.’

Yun looked at the reactions of her employees.
The narrow-eyed male employee said in surprise.

“Huh, huh? If I die in the mental realm, does the resurrection right break down…?”
“No. At least from the information collected by the head office, there is no such case.”

I don’t know Reina or Makia, but Poise had a savage personality, so he killed most of the people who annoyed him.
According to the head office’s investigation, there was a time when users were killed on a large scale in the deep world, but all of them were safely resurrected.

“But isn’t eight days different?”

It wouldn’t be strange if there were any variables in what that peculiar guy was doing.
Yun, who had explained up to that point, saw all of the employees.

“It’s the first time in history that the resurrection right doesn’t work at all. I don’t know what variable it is. As long as that guy’s mind is working, I think suicide is too dangerous.”

The previous male employee was a rare case, and only his corpse disappeared, and he may not have been resurrected.

“It might be an out in itself to die in this room with eight people. I don’t want to gamble with my life in chips.”
“So do i.”

The lively female employee quickly agreed.

“Above all, we’ve found a sure way out now to just face death.”

The tree wind seen from the rooftop belongs to Shin Jin-pae, nicknamed Pungmok Nando.
He told the employees to come up to the roof.

“Suicide should be done in the worst case. I don’t think it’s bad to go up to the roof first, right?”

Those who had expressed dissatisfaction with suicide from the beginning rushed in favor.
Although the upcoming eight days were frightening. She didn’t want to choose death without doing anything.
It would be too wasteful to simply consume the precious benefit of the resurrection ticket.

“Ah, okay. Okay.”

The narrow-eyed man took a step back because he could do it anytime if he wanted to commit suicide.

“Then shall we go up the stairs?”
“Let’s do it. If it’s an elevator, there’s a chance it’ll break down while going up.”

For users, escaping from the elevator in case of emergency is not a problem, but the problem is that if the elevator breaks down in this situation, it is highly likely that the monsters did it.
He didn’t want to fight surrounded by monsters with high lethality in the confined space of an elevator.

“How many floors were there up to the roof?”
“The 300th floor.”
“It’s very high.”

With the perception that they are now somewhat safe, the temples have regained their composure and have time to look around.
The first floor, which was usually the most active, was dark due to power outages, but it wasn’t particularly messy.

‘But. They must have been excellent enough to work at the head office, so they must have calmly climbed up without panic.’

The thoughts that tangled-haired male employee or Yoon had in mind must have come to mind quickly. There is a possibility that he has already met the chairman and is working with him.
However, while scouting the first floor, a new problem arose.

“…Where are the stairs?”
“I know.”
“Wouldn’t it be in the emergency exit?”

Employees rushed to the emergency exit and tried to open it. There was only one elevator.

“Let’s scatter and find it. It’s a little safer, but you don’t know when this safety will be broken. Hurry up.”

At Yoon’s instruction, the employees scattered and looked for the stairs.
However. Even though he moved quickly and searched every nook and cranny, he could not see the stairs at all.

“Gather!!”

At Yoon’s cry, the employees gathered again.

“Couldn’t it be… Did you make the stairs disappear so you can’t climb up in case of an emergency?”
“But the elevator remains, right? And the headquarters staff?”
“It’s an elevator, just turn it off. Didn’t it stop immediately after the employees at the headquarters went up?”
“…Should we just climb through the ceiling?”

Yoongi who was thinking about it came out!! He fired lightning at the ceiling.

Slither.

The lightning melts and disappears without a trace.
Yoon Hee. She clicked her tongue, and a lively female employee followed her, mocking the head office’s behavior.

“Don’t come through.”

Instead of being sarcastic, Yoon held his chin and pondered.

“Strange. Then where did the monsters come from…”

Chara Larak.

Weak, but The users all turned their heads at the small sound they could hear.
It was the sound of an elevator running.

Weiying.

The elevator that went up to the 104th floor stopped for a few seconds and then started to come down to the first floor.
Users took out their weapons and held them with nervous faces.
It was the right choice.

“Kreur…”

Tying! When the elevator arrived on the first floor, it opened, and what appeared was a huge, three-meter-tall creature with no nose, red eyes, and steel-hard gray skin.

Her right arm was equipped with a sword instead of a hand.
Players rushed at the monster without saying who was first.

“Krea!!”

The monster was strong on a different level from the fleshy monsters earlier, but it couldn’t stand the combined attack of close to 10 players.
The boy soon died by having his arms and neck pulled out.

“Fuck. Do monsters use elevators?”

Everyone seemed to agree with the words of the female employee, who unknowingly spat out curse words but was lively.

“…Are you saying that the only way to get to the roof is the elevator that these monsters use?”

Yun made her face she was terribly reluctant to go in.

Rumble! Cudangtang!!

“?!”
“What…”

Everyone turned their heads at the sound of a distant roar.
There, the employees who had rushed toward the door, like themselves from before, were sweating and gasping for breath.

They are not the end 2nd wave. 3 waves rushed in.
It was a very large lobby, so it felt quiet with only 10 people. Almost 60 people gathered and it became crowded.

“As expected, the headquarters.”
“Are you saying ordinary employees survived to this extent?”

Listening to the proud voices of the employees, Yoon clicked her tongue in her heart.

‘How many employees does the head office have? There are too few survivors…’

It was too weak during a crisis for a subject that was usually measured as an elite among elites.
No.
Is Dre strong?

Beep-!!

A sudden glass-scraping sound echoed from above, and everyone naturally listened.

[You have gathered.]

“…Chairman!!”
“It’s the president’s voice!!”

Chairman Shin Soo-ryun.
When she realized that the man she used to think was a man was actually a woman, and that she had a look that even looked like a goddess, her fans increased enormously. There were many people who memorized her voice, so even though she was her voice mixed with noise, everyone quickly recognized it as her.

“Chairman!! Please save us!!”
“I live!!”

Unlike her jubilant co-workers, Yun felt ominous. Anxiety soon became a reality.

[All of you gathered now are the last survivors of our headquarters.]

Only 60 are the last survivors?
A sharp voice interrupted the murmur.

[This is disappointing.]

Silence.

The usual training exercised absolute influence at the main store. After revealing his real face, he earned respect and fear from the staff with his natural charisma that emanated from the combination of his status and appearance.

It was no task for her to manipulate and dominate her humans not only with her charisma, but also with her unique mind-reading skills, so she was the president and absolute queen.
Soo-ryun’s voice continues to her temples, who stiffen at the queen’s stern voice.

[It’s disappointing, but these are the people who have worked tirelessly for the company. So give me a chance. Currently, the headquarters has become a chaotic world where all kinds of space are jumbled together.]
“What… Are you talking about?”
“Shh. Listen carefully.”

Su-ryun did not particularly consider the listeners and continued to speak calmly.

[As the dimensional corridor collapsed, Department 0, which managed all dimensions, also naturally collapsed. What was managed by Department 0 was released in large quantities. Currently, the headquarters is littered with test subjects managed by Department 0.]

What were you managing?
It was an unsettling sound.

[However. Currently, the priestess is confined to one of the 300 floors due to some circumstances. We pass on the work to you. Find the priestess somewhere on the 300th floor. The rooftop will be open to those who find it. The door won’t open to those who couldn’t find it.]

The silence soon turned into whispers and hum.
Even though he knows the agitation of the employees, he continues to talk as if it is not a big deal.

[I can tell you for sure. You will never be allowed on the roof unless I give you my permission. Another expedient way to drill is… Well. I sincerely advise you, but I do not recommend it.]

About 5 seconds of silence.
While the employees were concentrating with serious faces, Soo-ryun’s voice rang out.

[Then, good luck.]

The broadcast was cut off.

“What, what?”
“Is this the end…?”
“…What does it mean that Department 0 manages it?”
“I don’t know. It’s not called the Mystery Department for nothing…”
“Aaaaa!”

As uneasiness flared up here and there, someone shouted loudly and pointed out the door.

“Outside…!!”

A curtain wall made entirely of glass. The temples found countless monsters approaching through the glass walls.

“Kuh…!”
“I can’t believe they’ve already come this far!”

While users are confused, mate! Match! Match! The sound of applause drew their attention.
What attracted attention was a female employee who seemed to have a strong spirit.

“One of my perks is the people I’ve come into contact with. Up to 100 people can share simple opinions or records with each other in real time. Each of us splits up and investigates the floor to find the priestess!!”

A female employee shouts that since there are a total of 300 floors, each person only needs to go around five times.
Ignoring those words, someone tapped Yoon on the shoulder as he was calculating various factors.
Looking back, she was a lively female employee.

“Let’s go to the 104th floor.”
“…Uh?”
“Why?”

In response to the answer of the narrow-eyed man who approached Yoon, the female employee secretly said,

“The monster we dealt with earlier. It was injured. And it was hard to believe that the wound was inflicted by a monster.”
“…That…”

It seems so.
In other words. She is the one who hurt the monster and is human. Since this is the head office, she guessed that the staff at the head office might have hurt her.
But. What if the guess is wrong and monsters are just dens?
Yoon was not very confident in her fighting side, so she was unsure.
The narrow-eyed man did what Yoon wanted to say instead.

“It’s just a guess? Isn’t it too dangerous?”
“Then, would you like to stay here and get eaten? It’s dangerous no matter where you are.”

She said let’s gamble on her, and Yun barely nodded her head.

Yoon Eun-eun, she is strong, approached the female employee and she said that we will move together as nine people. She put on a ferocious expression.

“Nine people? Time’s too tight for such a split!”

However, when other employees soon expressed their opinion that it would be too dangerous alone, it was decided to move in groups of 10 people.
Fortunately, there were only six elevators.

‘Why are the numbers right and fussed?’

Yun, who felt uneasy about each element, gnashed his teeth.
Once she made up her mind, she acted quickly.

The employees of the head office climbed into the elevator to avoid the monsters of the mind that might enter the lobby on the first floor.

“Press.”

A lively female employee pressed the 104th floor with her nervous voice.

Woo woo woo.

An elevator that goes up in an instant.

Clap.

The door is open.
…Dark.
There are also smashed here and there.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, it felt like something was going to come out.

I really hate to go out.
Such an atmosphere flowed among the temples.

“…One of them stays here and presses the open button.”
“Why?”

Yoon answered the lively female employee’s question.

“It’s to escape right away in case of emergency. And there’s no guarantee that monsters in the depths of the world won’t ignore us and take the elevator…? It’ll be awkward if the elevator goes somewhere else while we’re fighting.”

Everyone seemed to want to stay in the elevator. In the end, a female user with a weak impression who seemed to have the least combat ability remained.
The rest came out of the elevator nervously.

Thud. Thud.

“Come.”
“The footsteps are exactly the same weight as that monster.”

Players prepare for battle.
If the object was injured earlier, how strong would the uninjured monster be…?

Thud. Thud. Thud. Swoop.

And seeing the monster that appeared, the users thought that they were worrying for nothing.
The monster that appeared was in a miserable state with its upper half blown away and its bones exposed.

“Kreuk. Kreuk.”

The guy who seemed to be very afraid of something looked around even after discovering the users. And.

Woowook!!

“?!”

Suddenly, the air moved and pierced the monster’s heart.

“Kreak.”

The monster slumped and fell to the floor.
An unidentified person who only materialized his arm swung his arm and brushed off the black blood.

‘I had no idea…’

That someone was hiding
Amid more tension than before. Turtuck. Yoon and the lively female employee grabbed her shoulders from behind her.

‘For sure…’
‘I was nervous?!’

The moment you stop breathing. He said.

“It must be a bit dangerous here.”
“Hoo-wook!”
“Whoops!”

Yoon and the lively female employee both looked back at the same time and swung their arms to attack. The unidentified man had already moved in front of them.
The employees of the head office, who quickly turned their backs and prepared themselves, were stunned.

“You, you…!”

Yoon stuttered and said his name.

“…Intangible?!”

The man. The intangible said after scratching his head with the handle of the dagger.

“What is it? Me. Famous among strangers?”
