Chapter 2485 – 2485. The Devil’s Game

I left the messy classroom behind and went out into the hallway.

Clean hallway without any trash. It was similar yet different from the high school I attended a few years ago. When I glance back, there is a 3-2 sign posted in front of the door.

‘I’m tired.’

I was tired physically but also mentally. I feel like I got away from doing meaningless repetitive tasks for hours.

Should I go up? Or should I go down?

‘The top is probably the rooftop. There are limited places to run or hide. Let’s go to the first floor.’

I walk down the hallway and look out the window. In addition to the main building, there was an annex. If you are looking for a place to hide, the first floor is better. Because there are more places to escape to if the situation arises.

‘From what I can see, there are more places to hide on the first floor.’

Right now, the only things on the third floor are classrooms and hallways. There are only two places to hide in the classroom. A place where you can easily check even that.

‘Not even 10 minutes have passed yet out of the 3 hours I have to endure.’

I sighed and carefully went down to the first floor. There happened to be a nurse’s office, so I went inside.

Grumbling.

Beds and cabinets are visible. Something feels strange. It seems like it smells somehow. Should I say it smells like cosmetics?

‘Is there a woman hiding?’

First, I rummaged through the desk and drawers. There might be something useful.

I found a bandage.

Medicines were also found. I couldn’t read the medicine bottle because it was written in English. I do not know English. It’s okay to read… This was so long I didn’t even want to read it. Even if you read it, you don’t know the meaning.

‘First, take the bandages… There is also Madecassol and Albochil. Should I take care of it?’

I grab a few and stop. The empty space in the drawer feels particularly unnatural. As if someone had taken the items that were here just a moment ago.

‘It’s the same with smelling cosmetics… Is there someone hides here?’

There are limited places where people can hide. Inside cabinets and under beds. He quietly held a kitchen knife in both hands. If I’m under the bed, all I can see is my legs.

“I know you’re hiding. Come out. I’m not a murderer. “I have no intention of fighting.”

If this is really a game, the goal is survival. There is no rule that says survivors must fight among themselves. In a way, the survivors were on the same team.

‘The problem is that team kills are possible. Because wherever you go, there are trolls.’

It takes strength to hold the kitchen knife in both hands. The person hiding could be a murderer like Jang Hwi-chun.

‘It’s like a horror game. A surprise event that suddenly strikes while hiding.’

Quiet. It doesn’t come out. Am I mistaken? I opened my mouth again.

“Didn’t you move here after receiving a suspicious black letter? I also received that invitation. And if I were a murderer, would I be talking to you so politely?”

I think of Jang Hwi-chun, who I just killed. A guy who was somewhat strange because he didn’t say a word.

“… “Stay there.”

A woman’s voice echoes from under the bed. It’s pretty good to hear.

My body feels tense. Come to think of it, how long has it been since you last talked to a woman? Is this my first time working as a part-timer at a convenience store since high school, excluding the factory lady?

A woman crawled out from under the bed in the hospital room with a sound of tossing and turning. Her flowing long hair, suit jacket and skirt. On her legs were bare stockings and high-heeled shoes. Underneath the suit jacket, the blouse was so puffy that it seemed as if it would burst at any moment.

‘How can you hide under the bed with breasts like that?’

I tried to raise my gaze upward. His pursed red lips and venomous eyes glared at me. In her pretty hands was a pair of scissors. Silver scissors sharp enough to kill a person.

“… “Do you think the killer is you?”

“No, this is…” . “There are circumstances.”

I panicked and lowered the kitchen knife in both hands. I realized it too late, and there was blood on my clothes. Anyone could see that he had the appearance of a murderer.

I explained what had just happened before she misunderstood any further.

“… There was Jang Hwi-chun? Jang Chu-hoon, the famous killer 10 years ago? “You killed Jang Hwi-chun?”

“Yes. There is a body on the third floor. If you’re in doubt, go and check. “I will stay here.”

“…”

She frowned. I don’t feel angry. He seems to be thinking about various things.

“Good. I’ll believe you. But apart from that, don’t come near me.”

“I understand, sister.”

“Who is your sister?”

“Was it your younger brother? How old are you?”

Although she was pretty, she didn’t feel young. The clothes she is wearing clearly resemble those of an office worker. Moreover, it feels like I have a lot of life experience.

“… Twenty-five.”

“You’re my older sister. This is Seong Yu-jin. “This is also fate, so why don’t you say anything?”

“Are you so shameless?”

I was a bit surprised too. In the past, I couldn’t talk well with the girls in my class. But now the words come out freely.

“So what’s your name? “It is beneficial to cooperate here.”

“Shin Do-hyeon. Don’t do anything nonsense. “If you do anything even remotely suspicious, I won’t stay silent.”

What will I do if I don’t stay still? I barely held back from being sarcastic without realizing it.

“Shin Do-hyeon. “It’s kind of a masculine name.”

“That’s not something you should say with a girly name.”

Nod your head. The name Eugene was quite common. So far, I’ve met two people with the same name, and they were both women.

We faced each other, wary of each other. We decided to cooperate, but we couldn’t trust each other at all.

Da-da-da-da-da-da!

The sound of footsteps rushing down the hallway.

“Aaaaahhh!”

A man is screaming and running away. You can hear footsteps chasing after him, but unlike the man running away, they are calm and quiet.

Shin Do-hyeon crawled down into bed. He honestly seemed kind of cute. Because in my view, there was no point in hiding under the bed. It’s better to hide near the window. If necessary, you can escape through the window.

I squatted down next to the entrance to the nurse’s office. When the guy came in, I planned to stab him in the leg with a kitchen knife, then stand up and stab him in the neck.

My plan didn’t work out. They passed by the nurse’s office at once. Slowly open the door and check outside.

A man dressed in black is chasing a man. The man in black throws his kitchen knife towards the man’s back. Fortunately, the man avoided the kitchen knife. The chase continued.

‘Does that back look like Jang Hwi-chun? No, is that possible? I killed Jang Hwi-chun.’

They say that the dead Jang Hwi-chun came back to life, or that there are multiple Jang Hwi-chun… Either way could not be said to be reality.

‘My being here right now is a bit different from reality in the first place.’

Shin Do-hyun crawls out of bed. His panties were not visible between his thighs wrapped in stockings. No light came in and it was pitch black. Maybe he’s in pitch black panties. Well, I’m wearing pantyhose.

“Dohyun. What should I do?”

“… You. “There are a lot of cheesy things, aren’t there?”

“So what are you going to do? I think I need to move. “If I keep staying here, I’ll eventually get caught.”

It wasn’t a good idea to hide. Because the view outside from here is limited.

“… Where are you going?”

“An annex on the side of the hill. It’s on a hill, so the view is good, and the road is good. In my opinion, it’s much better than the one here in the main building.”

“Okay. Let’s do as you say. “You move first.”

I opened the door and went out of the nurse’s office. Shin Do-hyun’s gaze is cold on my back. It didn’t feel good to be showing my back to others. If anything goes wrong, I might stab myself in the back with the scissors in my hand.

‘Still, she’s a beauty. Let’s be patient.’

“Why are you going that way? “That’s the direction they went earlier.”

“If you go the other way, it goes too far. And if you go down here in the hallway, you won’t be noticed.”

“If you’re walking around like that, you’ll be able to see through the window in the hallway, right?”

“We can see it too. And the hallway is the playground. If we see something, we can deal with it first.”

“… Looks somehow familiar? “Isn’t this your first time doing this?”

“It’s my first time. There can’t be that many things like this.”

To be honest, I was surprised too. I never thought I could do this. Moreover, even as I speak, he is rolling his eyes and being wary of his surroundings.

A body was found in front of the door leading outside through the hallway. It was a body that had been brutally mutilated. Blood and organs are dug out.

“Wow…”

Shin Do-hyeon stumbled, covering his mouth with his hand. Looking at the trembling around his eyes, he must have been in great shock.

Of course, I also had mental trauma. Honestly, I feel sick to my stomach. I didn’t want to know what the human body looks like this.

‘It’s a bit irritating, but… You can’t embarrass yourself and throw up in front of a woman.’

You have to show bluff at times like this.

“He went up to the second floor using the stairs next to him. Let’s go to the annex during this gap.”

Bloody footprints were seen going up to the second floor. Unless you come down suddenly, you won’t encounter anything.

“You’re calm. What’s your occupation? Are you a soldier… ?”

“I worked in a factory before I started.”

“… Meat factory?”

“Crockery Factory.”

It was my job to pack and transport the finished dishes.

On the way to the annex, I ran into someone else. There was one man who appeared to be a college student and one male student who appeared to be a high school student. The male student was easy to recognize because he was wearing a school uniform.

While Shin Do-hyeon and I were on guard, a man who looked like a college student quickly pointed to the annex.

“Are you two heading to the annex, too? I can’t afford to stay here like this, so let’s go and talk. “If you linger here, the killer Jang Hwi-chun might notice and follow you.”

What the college student said was right. We arrived at the annex. The restaurant on the first floor was spacious. I tried to lock the entrance door, but it didn’t lock as if the lock was broken.

“The door here doesn’t lock either.”

“Same?”

I asked back.

“Yes. We were on the second floor of the classroom, so we went to the rooftop first and then came down. The rooftop door was open and not locked. “I guess all the doors here don’t lock.”

I looked at the man again. The impression was ordinary, with no notable features. But it’s very calm. This is compared to the high school student next to me who is trembling and avoiding my eyes.

I don’t know if he was a high school student, but this guy seemed like he could be quite useful. Of course, he is worse than Shin Do-hyun. Because Shin Do-hyun is pretty.

“I am Seong Yu-jin. “And you?”

“This is Eugene Myung.”

I held out my hand with the intention of doing my best. It was a hand with a little blood on it. Jinmyeong Eugene paused for a moment and then took my hand.
