Chapter 111 – 111. Did You Open It Already?

Jo Jun and his party continued to move around the building. It’s already been 3 hours since they came in. However, they still haven’t found anything. In other words, I couldn’t even find the exit, let alone the Buddha statue.

Moreover, the outside of the window, which should be connected to the outside of the building, was also tinged with darkness, so it was impossible to escape even through the window. They just had to open the door without hesitation. Keep going until you get what you want.

The only benefit Cho Joon gained from entering the concrete building was a nine-tailed fox whose mana had been exhausted. Of course, Sam benefited greatly from that alone, but the greedy Jo Joon wanted more. He wanted to get everything, even the nine-tailed fox’s sister and something dangerous hidden somewhere in this building.

If that was impossible, I wanted to take at least one of Lee Joo-ha’s younger siblings or the items hidden in the building.

‘I don’t know where …

In the meantime, Lee Joo-ha desperately searched for her missing sister. I haven’t been able to find even a trace of Lee Eun-ha for several hours. Slowly, a feeling of despair rose in Lee Joo-ha’s heart.

Perhaps Lee Eun-ha may have already been caught by the Korean-Chinese who entered the building. Or maybe some threat lurking in the building took Lee Eun-ha’s life.

When I thought that, Lee Joo-ha felt so anxious and scared. He thought he might die at the hands of the Korean-Chinese and told him to run away, but rather he survived and his brother died. She, for her part, was driven mad by her remorse.

‘Eunha.. Please.. Be safe… Unnie will go find her soon..’

Lee Joo-ha’s throat was burning, and she felt like she was about to go out of her mind, fearing that her brother might be at fault. Seeing Lee Ju-ha looking anxious and impatient, Jo Joon comforted her by placing his hand on her shoulder.

“You will find it. So don’t fret too much. Then I always buy it.”

“Ah, I get it.. I don’t have the ability to know that. I guess I was too worried.. I’m sorry for bothering you..”

She wanted to exhort her to speed up the migrating search, but she was already overpowered by her man named Jo Joon, so she had no choice but to reply to his words as if to make an excuse.

Soon they reopened. This time, there was a room with a cabinet and a desk. It was a fairly small room. A room too small for all five people to fit in. It was like a staff room.

“This time, there was a place like a mart employee lounge. Lord, do you want to go in?”

“No. Too cramped. Let’s just close the door and open it again.”

“Huh!”

Inside the building, there were thousands of rooms, numerous hallways, bathrooms, and other special spaces. With such a variety of spaces appearing, Jo Jun could not get a sense of what purpose the building was used in the past.

There was a hospital room with an operating table, a hotel bedroom, or an old elementary school classroom. The interior of the building was twisted as if time and space were all twisted together.

‘It’s definitely strange that all these spaces are gathered in one building… Maybe…’

Joon Joon thought that maybe these unspecified spaces might not be spaces that actually exist inside the building, but rather spaces created by something nestled in the building.

It was as if this building was randomly generating a place imprinted in human memory.

‘Obviously… There are some rules. The problem is, I can’t figure out what the rules are… But I have to find them to get out of here quickly.’

Aim grabbed each and rolled his head to figure out the rules. Then he tried to open the door in various ways several times over an hour, and thanks to that, he was able to find out the rules of this building.

The first rule of concrete buildings.

This building reflects the psychology of the person who opened the door and creates a place beyond the door.

For example, when someone who wants to run away opens the door, a series of corridors that they can run through come out, and when someone who wants to take a break opens the door, a staff lounge or an empty hotel room pops out just like before.

Also, when hungry people open the door, there is a restaurant or supermarket. Of course, all of them were food in form, but there was nothing that could actually be eaten.

Thinking of showing what he wanted, Jo Joon asked Lee Joo Ha to open the door. With her earnest desire that she would find her sister, Eun-ha Lee, she wondered if Lee Eun-ha would be there when she opened the door. However, when Lee Ju-ha opened the door, all that came out was an office-like space or a place that looked like a police station.

‘You’re creating a room where you never give what you want and feel like you can get what you want. Then, what follows is the detailed form and detailed design of these rooms…’

The answer to this question was also readily available to him.

“Kokoha… Oba Achan no Mierundakedo…? (This looks like… Her grandmother’s house..?)”

“Privately soumieru… (I look like that too…)”

“What?”

“Ah, that’s it. This is Harmony Jeeve Gasm.”

“You mean this is like grandma’s house?”

“High.”

The room Hotaru opened was the living room of an old wooden house with tatami mats. However, Hotaru said that when he saw the tatami room that appeared out of nowhere, he felt the atmosphere of his grandmother’s house. Moreover, the gyaru standing next to her, Nanasa and Rei, Hotaru’s girlfriends, said they felt the same way.

Through this, Jo Joon was able to guess that this strange building shows a space created by reflecting the memories of those who entered him.

‘The type of room changes depending on the desire or emotion you are currently feeling… The detailed design of the space is built by collecting fragments of the person who opens the door… Then…’

With this, we have now gathered all the clues to find Lee Joo-ha’s younger brother.

Once the door is opened, the person who opens it must move. Lee Joo-ha and Lee Eun-ha are both North Koreans and sisters, so they probably share similar sensibilities. Also, if Lee Ju-ha opens the door with the emotions Lee Eun-ha felt while running away from the Korean-Chinese.

Perhaps she could go where Lee Eun-ha would have reached.

“Got it? Imagine the emotions Lee Eun-ha must have felt. And she opens the door You are the key to finding your brother.”

“Ah, I see… The feelings she must have felt as the child ran away…”

I put my hand on the moving doorknob and pondered for a while.

The frustration and fear that her brother, who had no ability to do, must have felt in the forest, the guilt of abandoning her sister, and the desire to get out of here. She could easily imagine.

‘Eunha more than anything else… She must have wanted to get out of here… If so… She really wanted to get out of here with a heart full of fear and… Horror…”

– Kik…

When Lee Ju-ha opened the door, a completely different atmosphere appeared in the hallway.

It was a very old and run-down hallway. It was so full of dust that the footprints of people who had passed this hallway before were imprinted on the floor.

She got the right answer right away. As a result of feeling her feelings almost similar to Eun-ha Lee, she was able to reach the hallway where Eun-ha Lee passed her last.

The concrete building builds a space based on the emotions and memories of the person who opens the door as Cho Joon expected. All places outside the building were excluded, and only places inside the building found in the subject’s memory were created.

Also, the concrete building made those who entered wander around until exhausted if they wanted to find something, get something, or run away from something.

That’s why the Korean-Chinese who were looking for sisters Lee Ju-ha and Lee Eun-ha continued to go round and round, moving to different places. Also, Jang Jo-joon and his party, who came in aiming for a casting, were spinning round and round because they couldn’t find their way. Lee’s sisters, who were looking for a place to escape from the Korean-Chinese, also ran around inside.

This building leads only those with a single purpose to its very depths. Most of the humans must have come in to get something from this huge building built in the middle of the forest.

However, such people can never go to the deepest part. Only those who thought they wanted to stop going out, give up and get some fresh air were lured into the deepest part.

Ironically, only those who gave up everything and wanted to go outside were called into the deepest place. Now, only those who think they want to leave the building are selected and lured into the deepest part. It was a very malicious tactic. It was a cursed place that made you tired and then ate it if you wanted to leave.

As Lee Eun-ha abandoned her older sister, Lee Joo-ha, and ran away, she felt various emotions. Then she thought that now she wanted to get out of this strange building.

She thought she wanted to get out of here and go back to her house. And at that moment, the building invited Lee Eun-ha to her deepest heart.

In the end, Lee Eun-ha passed through this old corridor and arrived at the red door. Migrating, she accurately caught her brother’s heart and artificially reached her place of rest.

“Somehow I feel like your brother is on the other side.”

“I agree..”

Gulp..

After passing through the old hallway, the party stood in front of the red door at the other end of the hallway. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Lee Eun-ha might be on the other side of this door. She must have opened this door, her own brother, and is now trapped inside. Migrating was so sure.

“Then. Open…”

The only red door in a concrete building that has a fixed destination.

Jang Jo-jun opened the door.

-Kiik…

“Uh…”

There was nothing beyond the door.

It was just dark and gloomy. The walls were stained black, and all the candles that would have been lit just before were all extinguished. No, it had completely melted.

And the grotesquely turned Buddha statue was glaring at them with a stern expression.

Jo Joon and his party could not enter the bleak room. Meanwhile, Seong Ha-rin, snooping in front of the room, found something.

“There is a wooden box over there.”

“That’s right… It’s a wooden box with a lot of amulets attached to it. It’s wide open now, but…”

In one corner of the room was a square wooden box large enough to hold a newborn baby.

With the amulet ripped off and the lid wide open.

It was clear that someone had already opened the lid of that wooden box. Maybe it was Lee Eun-ha.

‘It’s clear that it’s Kotoriba… The problem is that someone has already opened the lid of the sealed box… And something inside came out…’

Out of curiosity, Joon grabbed Seong Harin by the shoulder as she tried to step her foot into her room and quickly sent her behind him.

It was because, from the moment I opened the entrance to the room, Yang Ji-sang was screaming that I had to run away.

“Wait, Harin. There’s something in there. The moment you enter, the battle will begin… There is no guarantee of survival.”

“Ah.. I’m sorry..”

Sung Harin quickly stepped back from her. Because of the blue moon beast’s habit of walking in front of her wherever she was, this time she was willing to take her own risk at the forefront. Joon had just dried it up. Because she didn’t know if she went in wrong, she might die right there.

She then glanced at her for a moment and then she said Lee Joo-ha was about to go inside her. Jo Jun hugged Lee Ju-ha from behind and prevented her from entering.

“Oh, brother… I can smell the galaxy… The galaxy. Eunha..! Eunha!!! Sister came!! Come out soon!! Eunha!! No!! Eunha is over there!! So let go!! This is Kanna!! Let go!! Guinea will come out looking for her brother!! Let go of my hand!!”

“Hey you crazy bitch! You can’t go in there! I die!!!”

“Let go!!! Please..! I’m dying for my sake..! Hmm … Please let go … Oh, it’s galaxy … “

Jo Joon held on to Lee Joo Ha and never let go. It was a very regretful existence to lose. The only thing I gained from entering this building was making Lee Joo-ha a slave. However, if Lee Joo-ha was lost here, he would have been a waste of time.

‘Damn… What the hell is that in there… So fucking ominous…’

Joon had a similar feeling once.

It was the same goosebumps he felt when he first entered the black market, the box man wearing a wooden box full of eyeballs on his head.

It was so ominous and creepy. It was as if the stale malice was pouring out of the door. It seemed that more than half of the party would die if they made a mistake. He thought that only he and Harin would be able to survive and get out of here. That was too much of a loss.

‘Evil gods… Are there… I want to ask for some help…’

Aim Joon eventually took out the cheat key. For 24 hours, he decided to receive help from the evil spirits who closely observed every single detail of his sleep.

According to the rules of the event, they were evil spirits who couldn’t give much information, but since they had already reached the end, they could tell them how to get out.

[Hmm. I honestly hoped it wouldn’t go in because it was a trap… To get out of that space. I have to kill the one in that room.]

At Indicron’s words, Jo Joon thought that he was ruined. He must have been openly a trap. He wondered if he had too much faith in luck 666 again.

[Still, there will be a reward if you catch the stuff that has settled there. So take out Kysyria. Or she would call that vicious dragonslayer.]

Indicron advised Cho Joon to just use a special move. Similarly, Kysyria’s cooldown was full, and the dragon slayer received a reward from him, and she was able to summon him because she got one ‘dragon slayer’s guardian’ that could summon him once.

By the way, when you summon Kysyria, the huge Kysyria will devastate her surroundings for about 3 minutes. In return, all the burden of summoning that he gained from manifesting in reality will be passed on to Jo Jun. If that happens, Joon will faint. Also, once summoned, he cannot be summoned again for two weeks.

On the other hand, there is no danger in summoning dragon hunters, but there is no danger, but they can only be summoned for one minute, and once the summoning right is used, it is over. Furthermore, if the dragon catcher is busy, the summon is ignored.

‘Damn, who should I call…’

Both beings are beings whose likability and intimacy are greatly reduced if summoned to a trivial fight. I wondered if Kotoribako would be enough of an enemy to meet their needs.

Ironically, Jo Joon was now contemplating whether the enemy was too weak.

If Hotaru, the Onmyoji who was trembling in fear when he smelled the smell of death wafting from the room, would have treated Jo Joon as a madman if he had caught a glimpse of his thoughts. Because he had never seen Kisheria or the dragon slayer himself.

‘If they consider it an insignificant enemy… Damn it.’

Carshinax spoke to Jo Jun, who was worried that the enemy might be too weak now.

[My first tentacle… Is also there.. He will never fall in love with you no matter what you do.]

‘No, I’m rather afraid to call it out…’

[Kuhm…]

Carshinax sighed and disappeared.

Cho Joon, who had a forced contract last time and couldn’t even break his contract, was very wary of Aenax, who was out of his control. Thanks to that, Carshinax’s sly and lascivious plans had just come to naught.

‘The space is too small to summon Kisseria right away. Anax… I might get reverse raped if I took it out. Therefore, the only way left is to summon the dragon hunter…’

Jo Joon took out the dragon slayer’s guard from the inside pocket. If the dragon hunter was busy, he might not respond to the summons. If that happens, only the precious summoning ticket will fly away.

‘May the dragon hunter be free… And be satisfied with that bastard…’

Soon Joon tore the Guardian.

[Warning!! Warning!!]
[The savage destroyer of ‘No Man’s Land’ appears in the Simple Dungeon!!!]
[The Demon Hunter, ‘The Great Dragon Slayer Siegfried’ appears in the present world!!!]
[This is an NPC that shouldn’t exist in the current version!!!]
[The dragon slayer bears the burden of summoning!!]
[The penalty will be removed!!]
[Can be summoned in about 1 minute. The Guardian Department will be torn apart!!]

The notification window that covers my eyes passes by.

Jo Jun’s reliable ally and the most powerful human being he has ever known appeared.

A gigantic tall human, nearly 3 meters tall. No, he was a man who scattered such strong spirit around him that one wondered if it was right to see him as the same human being.

He even had a dragon head the size of a human torso in his hand. It seems that he was hunting a dragon a little while ago.

‘What is this again..?’

At the appearance of the dragon slayer, Hotaru couldn’t stop his body from shaking. He felt defeated just by facing him. It was the same with Lee Joo-ha. Up until just a moment ago, she had gone mad saying she had to save Lee Eun-ha, but when the dragon slayer appeared, she hiccupped and sat down on the floor.

Haha! I don’t know if it’s been a while or if I’ve seen it already!”

The dragon slayer roughly threw the head of the dragon he was holding onto the floor and hit Jo Jun on the back with a hearty laugh. Joon felt that his HP was being cut off in real time.

“There is no time, so hurry up and tell me which enemies to kill! Is this glasses man? Or a fox here? The Beast of Blue Moon is also involved, but not her. Ruler! One of them!! Who is your enemy!!”

Joon, who managed to swallow the intestines he was about to regurgitate, pointed his finger beyond the red door.

“Me, over there. It is in me.”

“Ohhh.. That.. Quite a vicious thing.. Attached to the human body. Wait.”

-Bang!

The dragon slayer flew past the party who were standing there blankly. He inserted the sword he was holding into his waist and entered the room and closed the door. It was to prevent the aftermath of the destruction from spreading out and killing Cho Joon and his party.

Soon the sound of something being crushed, mashed, smashed could be heard from beyond the red door.

-Kiik..

In the blink of an eye, the door opened again. Lights were lit everywhere in the dark room. The Buddha statue with a bizarre expression was smashed or crushed into pieces of stone, and the wooden box containing Kotoribako was burnt and disappeared without a trace.

Most of all, Lee Eun-ha, who fainted, was embraced by the dragon hunter. She had soot all over her skin.

‘What the hell did he do in there…?’

Jo Jun could not imagine what had happened in the closet. The monster, which half of the party thought was going to die, was torn apart in a matter of seconds, and even Lee Eun-ha, who was being held, was rescued.

Haha! No big deal. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, so I forgot the strategy, so it took more time. By the way, the child-stealing box was quite fresh. If you ever have to deal with that guy again, start by smashing the distorted Buddha statues around you and destroying the box. Not everyone knows it, but actually those two are its main body. There’s no point in hitting the black haze. Destroy those two to start the real fight.”

“Oh, there he is. Thank you!!”

“Haha. Well then, the time is about to run out. Let’s just go back Oh, by the way, the exit and reward will be far away from the room. Well see you next time! Let’s have a drink sometime!”

“Ah yes! Really! Thanked!!”

He was a dragon hunter who tore Kotoribako to pieces within 25 seconds of being summoned and saved Lee Eun-ha intact.

He even delivered Kotoribako’s strategy and left the dropped rewards and the summoned dragon’s head intact.

Because it wasn’t that important to him.

In many ways, it was an NPC with crazy specs. The more important point here is the fact that Jo Joon has an acquaintance with such a person.
