Chapter 138 – Episode 138 Last Game (1)

“But… Just because those guys are trash doesn’t mean you’re not trash, right?”

Jia heard Dohyeong’s words and couldn’t reply.

This was because every single word Dohyeong said went right through Jia’s heart.

Until now, compared to Ji-sun, Tae-hyeon, and Eun-ji, whom she thought were too much for her, she thought that she had not done anything to deserve Do-hyeong’s resentment, but when she looked at her actions objectively rather than simply comparing them, she realized that she had done something mean to Do-hyeong. Because it was true that I had been doing it.

“Ah… Well, that is… Uh…”

Jia, who just a moment ago had been full of thoughts of clinging to Dohyeong and yelling at him to somehow forgive her, began to be filled with thoughts of looking back on her own mistakes that she had not thought about until now.

‘I… Was I trash too…?’

Thinking about what she had done to Do-hyeong in the past, Jia felt a little guilty, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Looking at Jia like that, Dohyeong pushed Jia, who was clinging to his leg, with his foot, and Jia fell to the side helplessly.

“Well, anyway, I gave you one last chance and you were the ones who blew it. Don’t blame me too much.”

After pushing Ji-ah out of the way, Do-hyeong turned his head towards Ji-seon and Eun-ji who were looking at him and said.

‘S-what the fuck are you trying to do…? ‘Could it be that they are trying to kill us?’

‘Seo, you sure won’t kill me too, right? ‘I-I have my baby in my stomach… So I won’t kill him… Won’t I?’

The moment they heard that Do-hyeong was talking about this being their last chance, the word death came to Ji-seon and Eun-ji’s mind.

It’s just that they can’t reflect because they don’t feel guilty about what happened in the past, and both of them are aware that they are receiving revenge for what they did to Do-hyeong in the past.

So, it sounded like they were going to end this revenge on what was said to be the last, and they predicted that the end would mean their own deaths.

Often, revenge can only end in two ways.

The person taking revenge forgives the person against whom he or she is resenting.

Or kill the person you are resenting.

These are the only two things that can happen, but Do-hyeong didn’t seem to have the heart to forgive them, and they wondered if getting killed as the only remaining one would be the end for them.

Unlike Ji-seon, Eun-ji was slightly hopeful that Do-hyeong would kill her. Eun-ji believes that since Do-hyeong has a baby in her stomach, if Do-hyeong kills her, it would be the same as killing the baby.

He said since he got pregnant, Dohyung has been treating him better than anything he’s ever handled before. For Eun-ji, who believes it was thanks to being pregnant, the baby in her stomach was her very hope for survival.

Do-hyeong smiled bitterly as he looked at Ji-seon and Eun-ji who were looking at him with nervous expressions.

“Heh, now that you are about to die, you two make that same expression. It seems like you don’t want to die either?”

“Well, that’s natural… Right.”

“Well, I don’t want to die…”

Ji-seon and Eun-ji, who heard Do-hyeong’s words, responded with trembling voices filled with the emotion of never wanting to die.

“Then you shouldn’t have done that back in the day. You never would have imagined that the toy you were pranking would later come back as a monster. Anyway, you will die by my hands today.”

Ji-seon, who was lying on the floor, Ji-seon, who was clenching her fists, and Eun-ji, who was covering her stomach with her hands, were shocked as if they had been hit on the head as Do-hyeong proudly declared that he was going to kill them.

They had clearly read the atmosphere of the shape that seemed to kill them, but putting it into words directly was an experience they had experienced for the first time in their lives.

Fear of death.

It is the law of the world that creatures born with life will one day die, and everyone knows it well.

However, it can often happen that one experiences having one’s death decided by others. You may lose your life or even be killed in an accident caused by another person.

However, few people will ever experience the experience of the person right in front of them boldly declaring with their mouth that they are going to kill them.

When all three realized that they were really going to die, tears welled up in their eyes and their bodies began to tremble against their will.

In fact, they vaguely knew that Dohyeong had the right to live and die, and that he could kill them whenever he wanted. But all three of them were so scared that they were really going to die from Dohyeong.

‘Oh, no… I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die, master…’

Jia falls to the floor and sheds tears when told that she is going to die.

‘Fuck it! Fuck! I’m going to die anyway, should I fight a little longer? Wouldn’t there be a higher chance of survival if you try to resist rather than just wait for death?’

Ji-seon glares at Do-hyeong, clenching her fists and clenching her molars.

‘Still… There are a lot of things I want to do. Are you really saying I’m going to die?’

Eun-ji doesn’t want to believe Do-hyeong’s words that she will die soon.

The three people each had different thoughts, but they all had the same feeling of not wanting to die. All I could think about was that and my body was shaking.

“Step.”

The three people, who were shaking like aspen trees, came to their senses with a single word from Dohyeong.

“Okay, let’s save one person.”

The three people’s eyes widened as a short, but hopeful word came out of Dohyeong’s mouth. Looking at the three people’s surprised expressions, Dohyeong laughed as if it was amusing.

“Kkkk, it’s so funny to see that surprised expression. I can clearly see that you scum also desperately want to live.”

“Lord, master? What do you mean by saving my life…?”

Jia, who had been lying down on the floor when Dohyeong said she might be able to survive, slowly got up and asked.

“It’s not a particularly difficult thing to say, is it?”

Dohyeong held out his hand and showed only his index finger so that the three could see clearly.

“Just one person. I will save just one person, no more, no less.”

In Dohyeong’s words, the three people saw hope that they could survive. They said they would only save one person, but that didn’t matter.

The most important thing was that I was given the opportunity to live.

“You will now play the last game of your lives. If you win, you will survive, and everyone else… Will die by my hand, right?”

As Dohyeong finished speaking and raised his fist, the three people got goosebumps on their backs as they imagined themselves being beaten to death by that fist.

In particular, Ji-seon, who had experience being beaten to death by Do-hyung, was even more scared because she knew very well how much it hurt to be hit with that fist.

“You might be very curious about what kind of game it is, but I’ll explain it to you once we set up the stage. Follow me.”

Dohyung walked towards the basement door and spoke as he opened it. The three had to follow the shape without saying anything.

Since the three of them had nothing to do other than follow Do-hyeong’s words at the moment, they had no choice but to walk forward with hope when Do-hyeong said that only one person would be saved.

As the three people followed him out into the hallway, Dohyeong pointed to the end of the hallway with his finger.

“You each go into the room one by one. Afterwards, I will explain the rules of the game.”

“Yes… Master…”

All three went to the end of the hallway, entered the three open rooms one by one, and closed the doors.

Slam!

When I went inside, the door automatically locked.

“What the hell is this place…”

The three tried to look around the room, which became dark after the door closed. However, the room without any light was just darkness, so I couldn’t see anything.

As I tried to be alone in a dark room with no vision, I became more and more scared.

I had already experienced the fear of death because of shapes a little while ago, but I couldn’t help but feel even more scared as I entered a dark environment where people can’t help but feel fear.

‘What on earth is this place? What on earth are you trying to do…’

‘I can’t see anything. You’re not going to kill me here even though you said you’d let me live, right?’

‘Please… It’s none of my business if the other two years die, so please let me live alone…’

The three people couldn’t see anything in front of them, but they couldn’t stand still near the door, so they cautiously walked slowly into the room, hoping to survive on their own.

Flash!

“Ugh!”

The three people who were walking very slowly in the dark room frowned and blocked the light with their hands due to the sudden light pouring in.

“Is this… A TV?”

The three people’s eyes were used to being in a dark space, so it was difficult to see for a moment because of the light from the TV that suddenly turned on, but as they gradually became accustomed to the light, they were able to see the TV screen.

“Master?”

A shape was shown on the TV screen in each of the three people’s rooms.

“Can you see me well? Well, even if you can’t, it doesn’t matter as long as you can hear the sound coming from here. Now, let’s begin my final game with you guys. The final game that will never come again in my life.”

The three people who never wanted to die focused on the image and voice of Dohyeong on TV.

“This game, you see the scoreboard up here? It’s a game where the person with the highest score survives.”

When the figure on the TV screen pointed to the right side of his head, a table containing the names of Jia, Ji-seon, and Eun-ji appeared. In the space below the name was the number 0.

“This game is… A game for those of you who haven’t even reflected properly.”

When Dohyeong emphasized the word ‘reflection’, the three people became anxious.

“If you can’t reflect with your head, shouldn’t you do it with your body? If you look in the room, there will be tools for you.”

As soon as Do-hyeong finished speaking, the lights in the room came on and the room, which had only been lit by the TV screen, became bright.

The three people looked around the room they were in and couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw the object in the corner of the room.

There was a wide range of items available, including various torture tools and adult products.

“So, you might be wondering how to get points? Use the objects you see and ask for my forgiveness. If you like me, I’ll give you that many points. It’s simple, right?”

As the three people looked at the items, they felt their faces turn pale when they heard Dohyeong’s words.

This means asking for forgiveness by harming yourself using the objects you see in front of you.

In addition, seeing that other people’s scores were displayed instead of only showing one’s own scores, I could immediately see that the purpose was to compete by showing other people’s scores in real time.

This is because if someone gains a score from 0, the person who falls behind will eventually have no choice but to die.

It was a game with a vicious cycle structure in which people who did not want to die would harm themselves to get a score, and if they got a higher score, others would cut themselves to get a higher score.

Plus, I was even more anxious because I couldn’t see what other people were doing.

“Okay, then… I’ll give you 12 hours. It starts now.”

As Dohyeong spoke, the number on the TV screen gradually began to decrease from 12 hours.
