Chapter 2484 – 2484. The Devil’s Game

「Dear Seong Yujin.

We will give you a chance to change your life.

We invite you to the devil’s game.

The game starts at midnight today.

There is no right of veto.”

Even after looking through the envelope, there was no sender.

‘Is this like a chain letter? ‘He’s a guy with nothing to do.’

Even though there was a mailbox at the entrance of the building, it was strange that it was placed on the stairs.

‘My inbox is full of debt reminders, so I’m deliberately ignoring them. Because looking at it just makes me feel uneasy.’

Suddenly I felt puzzled.

The letter was lying on the stairs, unscathed, with no traces that the gangster had touched it. Since the letter is in my name, he must be the one to touch it.

‘This is not the time to be like this. You have to run away before you get caught.’

I just impulsively killed someone. When I remembered that fact, my heart pounded. The restless beating of my heart was quite unpleasant. I feel nauseous.

I threw away the black letter and came out. The sky was still bright.

‘Where should I go?’

There is no family. Relatives and friends have lost contact with each other for a long time. Factory boss and co-workers? We’re not that close. All we do is chat briefly while working. In particular, the president was not a person with a good personality, even to say the least. He is famous for taking a small amount of the wages of foreign workers.

‘That crazy guy even tried to take away my salary just because he made a mistake. … Now that I think about it, it’s a bit annoying. Should I go and kill him?’

I am a murderer who has already committed murder. Even if you kill 1-2 more people here, nothing will change. No, do you want to be called the killer Seong Yu-jin?

‘I think it would be a great achievement to make Korea tremble with a murderer.’

Even though I’m still a little scared, I don’t think there’s anything I can’t kill.

Beep beep!

A police car appeared.

I was startled and tensed my body. I reflexively checked the alley. An alley I’ve never been to before. If I go in there and hide, wouldn’t I be able to avoid the police?

Fortunately, the police car passed by. The direction is not in the direction where my house is.

‘My house is semi-basement. The body won’t be found unless you come inside. It’s not like the corpse is immediately decomposing and giving off a rotten smell…’

It wasn’t summer yet.

Everything was fine until the loan shark, who noticed something strange, sent another gangster to find it.

‘Fuck… Where should I really go? I’m hungry too…’

Even if you wanted to go kill Taesan Park, you wouldn’t even be able to go inside the apartment. If you contact them, you will definitely be ignored. Since that day, Park Tae-san has completely ignored me.

‘I don’t want to die without being able to fuck Park Tae-san’s girlfriend…’

My hands trembled when I thought about murder. Fear. And excitement. Murder. I committed a crime that an ordinary person could not do. I feel strangely uplifted by that fact. Would you say I feel stronger?

‘… You have crossed the line.’

A line that can never be returned.

The future just disappeared. My fucked up life just got messier.

Thinking like that made me feel a little more at ease. Rather, I feel relieved. Because I feel like I can do anything.

‘This damn Korea… Why are there so many cameras?’

Cameras that I didn’t even know existed keep coming into my sight. It was even inside the alley. If things continued like this, I would probably get caught by the police tonight or tomorrow.

‘If I go down to the countryside instead of Seoul and live like a dead rat, they won’t be able to chase me.’

Wouldn’t it be a way to go to a suitable mountain and become a natural person?

‘No. Let’s not be weak. It’s short and thick. He kills Park Tae-san, fucks Park Tae-san’s girlfriend, and commits suicide.’

I had no intention of living my life worrying about the police coming.

As I was passing through an alley, I saw a small supermarket. I took a quick look and there was no one there.

Growling.

‘I’m hungry.’

My feet head towards the supermarket. I just killed someone, but it’s just theft.

‘I don’t know how to open the money box… Let’s grab some ramen and some food. There’s a bag too.’

Everything is there.

Of course, there was also a kitchen knife.

‘The bastards might come after me. And if you want to kill Taesan Park, you have to have a knife.’

I packed 5 kitchen knives that looked reasonably good. If you bring more, it’s not good because it’s heavy. I drank a can of Coke and grabbed some ramen and a hot bar. If it were a convenience store, there would have been triangle gimbap… Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the supermarket.

‘I’m so scared that the owner will come. If the owner comes now… If you run away, they will chase you… Wouldn’t it be better to kill him?’

Fortunately, the supermarket owner did not show up. I ate stolen snacks and banana milk while walking. It felt like if I stopped, the police or the gangsters would come after me.

Check Taesan Park’s Instagram.

A new post has appeared. It was a photo taken at a Japanese ramen restaurant with my girlfriend.

‘Fuck you.’

I can’t believe it wasn’t in Korea.

How can timing be so bad?

I couldn’t help but sigh.

‘… It’s not written when it’s coming… Shall we go to Pakchon? I have an emergency fund of 50,000 won, but this should be enough, right?’

He’s a police officer and a bully, so shouldn’t he die without pity before he dies?

If things don’t work out, it’s not a bad idea to find a beautiful woman and rape her.

‘But if you’re going to rape, it’s advantageous to do it with a gorgeous woman. For example… ‘Something like a celebrity.’

There is a problem as to where the celebrities are… Wouldn’t it be okay to stay in front of her agency’s building and chase after the celebrity?

“Ha.”

What should I do?

I sat blankly in a deserted alley. There was no place to sleep right now. I picked up my smartphone and went to a community site that could be said to be a source of pleasure from a miserable life.

「Right now, he killed a person and is running away.

There’s nowhere to go…

What should I do? “I have 50,000 won.”

「01: Wow! Murderer!」

「02: Let’s surrender and find light.」

「03: What kind of aggro is this again?」

‘I can’t believe there are 3 comments. It looks like these bastards don’t have much to do.’

It was something I wrote, but honestly, it was a piece of shit. I wouldn’t have even clicked after seeing the title.

Time passed quickly as I searched for things like how to kill and run away, murder sentences, the location of a small town, celebrity home addresses, etc.

‘I need to save my smartphone battery…’

I couldn’t stop.

If I don’t do this, I feel anxious and going crazy.

Time has passed. For dinner, I ate raw ramen and filled my stomach.

‘I don’t want to live with smelly homeless people… I have to move into a suitable empty house and live there.’

At first glance, I saw a few houses that looked like there were no people in them.

Time passes so meaninglessly… It’s 1 minute until 12 o’clock.

I am reminded of the contents of the black letter I saw a few hours ago.

‘The game starts at midnight? They’re going to start without me. Well, the starting location of the game wasn’t even written down. But was that letter really sent by someone who was doing something?’

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no one who would play a prank on me like that.

It was the moment when the smartphone clock showed 12:00.

I broke the window of an empty house, sneaked in, and jumped up from my lying down.

The surrounding scenery has changed. Desks and chairs lined up in a large space. Blackboard in the front, lockers and posts in the back.

“… School?”

I was so dumbfounded that I muttered.

What’s even more absurd is that the sky is bright. When I look at the clock on the wall, it says 12 PM.

-Ding dong ding-dong.

Broadcast sound came from the speakers hanging on the ceiling.

-Hello, game participants. Nice to meet you.

Modulated male voice.

-You risk your life to play a game. If you win the game, your life will change for the better.

I’ve seen this similar situation in a cartoon.

‘Am I dreaming?’

Clench your hands tightly. I felt pain. Then I realized there was nothing in my hand. Smartphones also disappeared.

-This game is about survival. If you survive for 3 hours, the participant wins.

‘Survive? From what?’

I looked out the window. It seems to be roughly 3 to 4 stories high. I saw an empty playground. The school gate can be seen behind it.

And there was nothing outside the school gate. This is not a metaphor, there really was nothing. There is only darkness. The sun was brilliant, but the light did not seem to reach outside the school gate. It was obviously strange.

‘Something like a cartoon or drama actually happened.’

My heart is pounding.

My heart was beating hard, but my head was cool.

‘I thought something like this might happen someday…’

What should I do?

Should I hide? If you hide, where?

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps sound. I looked around in surprise. The place to hide in this classroom… There is only a cleaning tool box in the corner and under the teacher’s desk in front of the classroom.

‘Fuck. Even if I am the culprit, I will definitely check those two places first.’

It seems like there is no place to hide.

‘Fight. I have also killed people. There’s no reason to be afraid of something like this.’

Contrary to what I had planned, my hands were still shaking.

Grumbling.

The back door of the classroom opens, and a large figure dressed in black enters. He was holding a kitchen knife in both hands. An angular face that appears to be in the mid to late 30s. Feeling somehow familiar, I threw the chair at the guy.

The guy didn’t avoid it. He raises his arms, blocks the chair, and approaches me. He doesn’t even run, he walks. I felt relaxed in those steps. In this battle, he seemed to consider himself to have an overwhelming advantage.

No, I don’t even consider it a battle. He is hunting now.

As they widened the distance, they threw chairs and desks at random. Instead of approaching him ignorantly like before, he tried to avoid it… Everything I threw was hit.

Rather than saying he couldn’t avoid it, I felt like I was good at hitting it.

‘Was I originally this good at guessing?’

Hold the end of the chair and lift it.

For a moment, the world seemed to slow down. What should I say about this phenomenon?

‘… I think it was like this when I killed that gangster.’

Threw a chair Just because the world slowed down didn’t mean my body sped up.

Poop!

The guy who got hit by the chair ran towards me as if he couldn’t take it anymore. I, holding the chair, had a slightly longer reach than the guy with the kitchen knife in both hands. Instinctively, I measured the distance, swung the chair, and beat the guy.

Sweat flows down my cheeks. He thought he had strengthened his body by working in a factory… Maybe it’s because my body is tense, but it’s been hard even after just a few minutes.

“Kaaaaa!”

The guy in heat screams and rushes in.

It was a moment when I gritted my teeth. The world slowed down again. The direction in which it moves and the movement of the kitchen knife are visible.

The thing that catches my eye the most is his knee. He seemed to be telling me to kick it. So I did that.

Puck!

I kicked the guy’s knee with all my might. The guy loses his balance and falls on his side. I dodged to the side and hit the back of my head with the desk.

The guy who fell on the floor didn’t move.

‘Is he dead? Or did you faint?’

I flinch.

The guy’s body just moved.

My body reacted earlier than I thought. The man’s head was repeatedly shot with a chair.

My attack stopped only after the guy’s head bled. All strength is drained from my entire body.

‘It was easier to kill the bastard… What is this guy?’

I took the two kitchen knives from both of his hands, turned his body over, and checked his belongings. I thought there was at least a smartphone… There was nothing.

‘This face… Where do you think I saw this?’

I remembered.

Jang Hwi-chun, a serial killer who caused an uproar in Korea 10 years ago!

He is the man who shook the Republic of Korea by killing a total of 17 people. He even told a ghost story about him.

‘Why is this guy here who should be rotting in prison?’

Even if I think about it, I don’t know.

‘Let’s move first. ‘This bastard might have a friend.’
