Chapter 63 – 063
After coming back to reality, I took out my smart phone, found Jun Chang in my recent contact list, and immediately called him.
– Rurrrr. Turrrr. –
-“Hello.”-
“Uh, Junchang. It’s me.”
-“Huh? Uh, okay. Why? … Oh, are you calling about the funeral? Oh, do you want to go with me?”-
Hmm? What funeral?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Just when I was thinking that.
I remembered the reason why Junchang contacted me.
I had contacted him because a classmate of his had died.
But I thought it wasn’t that important to me and quickly forgot about it.
And actually, even now, that doesn’t really matter.
“Ah…, No. Something like that. … More than that, there’s that game you made a while ago. Its a villa escape survival game. You asked me to take a test for your university assignment. What was the password for using that secret passage? That thing you type on the keypad.”
-“… Huh? Suddenly, out of nowhere… , … Do you still have that game?”-
“No, don’t talk nonsense… “Don’t you remember the password for the secret passage in that game?”
-“That’s the password…” ” ? Uh… , Ah… , I don’t remember. It’s still the first game I’ve made. “It’s my off-duty birthday.”-
“Your birthday? When is your birthday?”
-“Hey. Don’t you even know my birthday? You asked the same question back then. Oh my, this kid is not making any progress…”-
“Oh, I don’t know. Just let me know quickly.”
-“Ah-oh…, This is really what you call a friend… It’s May 5th. Children’s Day. That’s why I said that the kids who get the gifts I get every year only get them twice a year instead of the three times they get them. Others are Children’s Day, Christmas, and birthdays. I got this three times. I can’t receive it alone…”-
“Oh, that’s not that important. So the password is probably 0505? But I think it was a bit more complicated… ?”
-“Oh my, you bastard…” ” ” , You really say it the same way as before… How come you’re really not making any progress? He really is like a consistent pine tree…”-
“Shut up. Please tell me the password quickly. … Oh, it’s urgent.”
-“You have to put the two stars next to the well pavilion in front of your password. You should add 2 stars and 00. Therefore… , The password is **000505. But what happened all of a sudden that made you want to play that game I made a while ago? I guess that was more fun than I thought? “You said the story was so funny back then.”-
“Huh. It’s still a joke. Anyway, thank you for telling me the password. I’ll hang up. Hehe… I feel a little sorry for you in that world.”
-“… Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Have you been drinking?”-
“No. It is nothing. I hung up.”
– Drop –
After hanging up the phone, I returned to the world on the 4th floor of the tower.
I still had the keypad where I entered my password in front of me.
I entered the password ‘**000505’.
Then, the sound of mechanical gears moving behind the bookshelf was heard, and the heavy bookshelf moved to the side.
– Rumbling –
It was the sound of something heavy moving that I heard outside the door.
I grinned and entered the secret passage.
When I went inside, there was an ‘open’ and ‘close’ button on one wall that could open and close the entrance to the secret passage behind me.
When you press the close button, the entrance to the secret passage behind closes and becomes hidden as before.
– Rumbling, rumbling –
The secret passage led to the first basement floor,
There were several motorcycles placed there.
‘This guy used this to move quickly and secure an alibi for the crime.’
The underground space of the villa is very vast. Honestly, it’s a scale that makes no sense.
The underground space is from the 1st basement level to the 5th basement level.
Among them, the first basement floor has a huge, spiderweb-like secret passage connecting the villa and various places around the villa, and dozens of motorcycles are placed here and there.
‘The setting is that he is a super genius scientist, but they also set up things like teleportation devices and hyperloop rails. The best you can do is use a motorcycle in a secret underground passage? ? Anyway, it’s the poor imagination of the game creator. It’s a virtual game anyway, so instantaneous movement would have been nice.’
I rode one of the assigned motorcycles.
All keys were automatically inserted, so all you had to do was start the car and move.
I started driving a motorcycle when I was 20 years old so I could seduce women… ,
It wasn’t difficult because I had just had a taste of it.
And this motorcycle was a very high-end model.
– Rumble! –
I started the motorcycle and moved to the place where Jun-chang was likely to be.
Perhaps because it is a high-end motorcycle, the 0-100 acceleration was very good and I was able to reach my destination very quickly.
Above all, the driving difficulty was very easy as I was the only one who had to drive in a straight line in a wide underground passage.
Basically, driving is difficult, changing lanes while worrying about other people,
I feel very comfortable driving alone on an empty road.
When I arrived at my destination, I turned off the engine and got off the motorcycle.
Is my prediction correct?
There was a motorcycle parked here that felt the heat of the engine as if someone had just ridden it.
‘Hehe, then that’s right.’
What will the criminal, Jun-chang, do first?
It’s about isolating this place.
They’ve probably already blocked all landline phone lines and such,
Wireless phones that use radio waves, such as cell phones, were set to be blocked using a jamming device developed by a super genius.
Then the only thing left is to escape directly by land.
That is why…
‘I’m going to break the leg. Just like it did in the game. Hehe…’
I took the stairs from the passage on the first basement floor, went up one floor, and pressed the button that said ‘open’.
– Rumbling –
Here, a secret passage hidden not in the bookshelf in the room but in a crevice in the rock of a small cave opens.
I got out of there and slowly walked towards where Junchang was likely to be.
– Knock! Quaaaaa! Kukukuk! –
As I am taking steps out of the cave,
I can hear the sound of something exploding and collapsing outside.
It’s just as I expected.
Junchang was currently cutting down the iron bridges that were the only passage to the outside of the villa area.
I walked a little further towards the place where I heard the sound.
At the cliff of the Thousand Road Cliff, you could see part of the only road being blown up with explosives and the bridge being cut off on purpose.
‘Good work. Your role ends here. Jun Chang. Hehe…’
I quietly approached Junchang, who was working hard on blowing something up.
Junchang probably approached me quietly from behind,
I had no idea that I was coming.
Maybe he doesn’t even dream that someone will follow him at this moment.
‘Tsk, tsk, you can’t let your guard down like that.
Even in real life, when we played games together, you let your guard down and lost every time.
Same here too…’
After staring at the back of the guy’s head for a while and smiling darkly,
This got a little boring, so I just let Junchang know that I was here.
“Junchang. “Did you cut off the length and the bridge?”
“Uh. I’m done with quitting now. Just finishing it up…
Uh… ? … Yes, how are you? W, here… ?
… Oh, what? … Uh? … Huh? Uh, how… ?”
Junchang’s facial expression is different from usual.
It is not a simple and innocent face, but a face with a very mean and dark expression.
But his face turned very embarrassed.
Hehe… Why are you so embarrassed?
Jun Chang… , No. Devil…
… Oh, fuck. That name really sucks.
It’s a cringe-inducing name that I really don’t want to pronounce.
“You’ve had a shitty naming sense ever since.”
I prepared in advance in subspace,
I took out a pistol with a silencer.
I aimed at Jun Chang’s head with a pistol.
“Anyway, that’s what you were going to do. I’ll do everything. Hehe…”
Junchang is very embarrassed.
It seemed like he realized my pistol was a real gun.
If you were a typical Korean, you might have suspected it was a toy or a fake gun… ,
As expected, in this worldview, he is a guy full of thoughts of killing people, so he immediately knows if this gun is real.
“… Wow, why are you suddenly doing this to me? … Well, where did you get that gun?”
“Is it okay for you to say something like that to me? “I know why you cut off the bridge and destroyed the only way to get here by blowing it up.”
“… Well, that, uh, how… ?”
Hehe, no more small talk. Just die.
The dirty things you did with the girls you were trying to enjoy… ,
Because I will do everything. Hehe…
Thank you. “For providing all these things.”
“… Holy shit… I can’t believe I’m being taken advantage of…
… Uh, how did you find out? Are you some sort of superpower?
How could I have my own secret plan that I didn’t tell anyone about…”
I aimed precisely at Jun-chang’s forehead.
I am even more confused as to whether Junchang sensed death.
Just as I was about to pull the trigger to put a bullet between his eyes.
There was one question that suddenly came to mind and bothered me.
‘… Wait a minute, the fourth and final hidden ordeal. It was all about survival, right? Surely killing this bastard won’t work?’
