Chapter 2488 – 2488. The Devil’s Game

「Dear Seong Yujin.

Did you enjoy the last game? I had a lot of fun.

You have won and changed your life. However, it will not be enough. Rest assured. The game will continue, and you can change your life again.

We invite you to the devil’s game.

The game starts at midnight today.

You may refuse to play. Just tear this invitation yourself.

If you refuse to participate in the game, abilities and items obtained through the game will never be used again.

You can also rejoin a game you declined. If you wish to re-participate, please call 6666-6666.

However, you must start again from the beginning.

We look forward to your participation in the game.”

‘You can quit playing games?’

That was also possible in a very easy way. Tearing up the invitation. This means that you can refuse to participate in the game right away.

‘The devil’s game… It’s a terrible game. It’s a game where you really risk your life, so how can it not be scary?’

But when you win the game, your life changes.

I, who was a murderer, no longer became a murderer. It doesn’t end there, and they even provide 30 million won. The most surprising thing is that I have a superpower that allows me to answer anything.

‘If you refuse to participate in the game, this ability will disappear. That won’t work.’

My life has changed.

I came up from the abyss to the ground. No, it is still not enough to be called ground level. I am still a debtor, and loan shark Pang Cheon-su is looking for an opportunity to drag me into the abyss.

‘You just have to win. If you win, your life will change again.’

You can change a daily dirty and smelly gutter into a rich and shining luxury life every day.

‘If you don’t participate in this, you’re an idiot.’

15 hours until midnight.

I decided to kill Pang Cheon-su’s subordinate today.

• • •

It was clear that loan shark Pang Cheon-soo’s subordinates were watching this hotel.

‘Pangcheonsu. There’s no way that persistent bastard would let me go without taking money. Since I ignored what he said, he got high.’

Face. Peng Cheonsu lost face because of me. You probably think that way. The only way to restore that damaged face is to punish me, the cause.

‘He’s a real dog.’

So, if you get the chance, you should kill it without hesitation. I never wanted to pay that guy back. Even if I repaid the money, he could have played a trick on me.

‘Hey, let’s settle this first in the evening. If you go even a little bit outside the hotel, the guy watching you will appear.’

Kill his subordinates step by step. Due to the nature of this job, the more subordinates die, the more his position will be shaken.

I headed to the front door to eat dinner. The hotel restaurant was expensive but delicious. The cup ramen I used to eat every day strangely did not suit my taste. It’s not so much that I can’t eat it, but I should say that I feel bad after just one bite.

It was the moment I opened the front door without thinking.

〈Warning. There is someone at the door.〉

I stopped just before reaching for the front door handle.

I narrowed my eyes at the sudden advice and was lost in thought for a moment.

‘If this is true, there is someone waiting for me at the hotel door. There would be no reason for the hotel staff to do that…’

Pang Cheon-su’s subordinate is a scoundrel.

I remember it later. This is a hotel that Pangcheonsu would find difficult to mess with, but there is a way to do it without sending in outright thugs. Sending out thugs quietly like now.

‘Fuck. The watcher was closer than I thought.’

Rather, it went well.

Kill the guy here. Since I know that there’s a guy waiting behind this door, there’s nothing to worry about.

‘I have a superpower that makes my brain faster.’

It was even easy to activate. All you have to do is concentrate.

I opened the front door. Time slowed down, and I saw a hand reaching towards my face. There was an electric shock gun in his hand.

‘They tried to knock me out and kidnap me.’

I grabbed his arm with both hands and bent the joint in the opposite direction. As his elbow bends, the electric shock gun in his hand falls.

“Quaaaaah!?

I snatched up the electric shock gun and applied it to the guy’s neck. The guy trembled and fell down. I took him and took him into the hotel.

The camera installed in the hallway was visible.

‘It’s not like they’re watching every moment. It doesn’t matter if the police don’t come right away.’

They stripped the unconscious man and tied his hands and feet to the chair with a towel. I didn’t take off my panties. I didn’t want to see the man there.

In the process, I found a card key. It was a card key from the next room. I had no idea that he was watching me from the room right next door.

“Wake up, kid.”

Raise your fist and beat the unconscious person.

It worked. The guy opened his eyes with a bloody nose.

“Ugh… Fuck…”

“Pang Cheon-su sent it, right?”

The guy suddenly came to his senses and struggled. Because he was tied tightly with a towel, he could not be released.

“Seong Yujin… ! You fucking bastard… ! Do you think you’ll be okay after this?”

“Do you think you’ll be safe?”

Beep!

The electric pot beeped. The water just happened to be hot. I picked up the steaming electric kettle. The man’s face, which had been triumphant, turned pale.

“Huh, stop!”

“Am I your subordinate? “If you tell me to stop?”

I poured hot water on his groin.

“Aaaaah!”

“It’s noisy.”

I covered his mouth with the remaining towel. I took water again, boiled the electric pot, and asked the guy.

“Did you come alone?”

“Eup, eup!”

“You’re not answering?”

“Eup!!”

Oh right. I took off the towel covering his mouth.

“If you scream this time, I’ll pour hot water in your mouth.”

I unwrapped the towel.

“Hospital… Send me to the hospital It hurts so much…”

“You fucking bastard. You asked me if I came alone. Do you really want to go after it?”

I have already committed murder once. No, maybe five times. I took a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the solar plexus. A drop of blood comes out from the slightly pierced solar plexus. Just because of that, his attitude became polite. He seems so scared that he doesn’t even feel pain.

“I’m with my friend, Yongsik. “It’s in the next room!”

“You’re not alone after all. However… Oh, shit. Fucked. “If you were in the next room, wouldn’t you have jumped when you heard the scream?”

I covered his mouth again with a towel and moved to the next room. Since I had the card key, the front door opened right away.

A man was watching TV and eating cup ramen.

“Huh?”

I run to the panicking guy. He tried to get up quickly, but I was faster.

“Doesn’t Pangcheonsu pay for the meal?”

Deeply.

The knife went straight into the guy’s neck. As the guy fell down, the kitchen knife naturally came out of his neck. I looked down at the body for a moment. My hands were shaking. Fear? No. It’s exciting.

I’m too used to murder to feel fear.

‘The reason I was calmly eating cup ramen… Is it because the soundproofing is excellent? It’s not a 5-star hotel for nothing.’

I left the body and went back to my room.

Clean up afterward? All you have to do is win the upcoming devil’s game.

When I entered the room, the tied-up guy was startled when he saw me. He has a knife in his hand and blood on his body. Even a fool can tell what I just did.

“Let’s go in a good way. Answer the questions well.”

He said, pointing the kitchen knife at him. The guy nods his head with tears in his eyes.

The towel covering his mouth was removed, and the interrogation began.

“Is there anyone else watches me?”

“Uh, none. It’s just us.”

“Pangcheonsu. “How did that bastard know I was here?”

Did you put someone there? No, it takes too much effort to say that. Attaching a watchdog to just one debtor is a loss in itself.

I think there might be some connections or subordinates of Pang Cheon-soo in this hotel.

“Location tracker… Well, there’s a location tracker in your shoe…”

“Fuck.”

It was something unexpected. I immediately picked up my shoes and checked them. There was an unnatural blemish on the sole. When I opened it with a knife, there was a small machine inside.

‘The reason these bastards came here periodically and were so mean… It wasn’t just for the purpose of intimidation.’

There was even a location tracker on both pairs of shoes.

I was playing on the palm of Pang Cheon-su. My mood worsened, and at the same time, my murderous intent surged. Pangcheonsu. This bastard must be killed.

‘I need to throw away all my clothes, including my shoes, and get new ones. If I pay the employee to order it, he will buy it, right?’

If you leave a generous tip, they will actually like it.

“Is Paeng Cheon-su in Deoi now?”

“No, I don’t know. I heard that the boss goes to an island…”

“Island?”

“… This is an island where debtors gather. Debtors are paying their debts there.”

It was clearly an island of labor exploitation. Pay off debt? Once you get in there, you probably won’t be able to get out again.

A shiver runs down my spine. If there wasn’t the devil’s game, my future would have been there too.

“When will Pang Cheon-su return?”

“I’ll be back in about a week or so.”

“How many businesses does Pang Cheon-su run? How many subordinates does Pang Cheon-su have? “Tell me everything you know.”

There are 16 businesses.

Pang Cheon-su was not only involved in the loan business, but also engaged in most illegal activities such as clubs, brothels, illegal gambling, and illegal Toto.

I broke into a cold sweat after hearing what he said.

“Hey. That doesn’t make sense. Why does the guy who runs the club act like a loan shark?”

“I don’t know either. In fact, I’ve never even met my boss in person. “When orders come from above, we just do as they are told.”

From what I heard, Pang Cheon-su had already formed a cartel. There are several gangsters below Pangcheonsu, and there are other gangs of gangsters below them. This guy was in a fairly high position among the group of gangsters, so he knew something about the organization.

‘The thing that’s rude is… Probably not. There’s no way a bastard like this would dare scold me.’

He is not a special force or special agent, he is just a bully. He is still watching me carefully. I don’t think a guy like this will yell at me.

‘I heard that illegal Toto makes a lot of money… Pang Cheon-su: Why is this guy in the private loan business? There’s no way the private loan business could make that much money.’

Anyway, I got all the information I needed.

I dragged the gangster to the next room and stabbed him to death with a knife. At least the body won’t be found until tomorrow.

Later, I asked the hotel staff to get him new clothes and shoes. The shoes with the location tracker attached were not thrown away right away, but were roughly thrown in the corner of the room.

‘Let’s sneak out now. Pang Cheon-su, that bastard must know that I’m still in the hotel.’

There is still time until midnight.

Just in case, I cashed out the remaining money in my account. I put about 20 million won in the bag. The problem is that I don’t know where to go.

‘Should I go out of Seoul? But I don’t want to go outside of Seoul because it’s a village… First, let’s stay at another good hotel for a while.’

I liked the hotel life because it was more comfortable than I expected. Although it costs a lot of money.

And then it was midnight.

• • •

As soon as midnight, I was in a different space.

I looked around out of habit.

‘Is it a room?’

There were a total of 6 people, including me, in a fairly large room. The three are Shin Do-hyun, Eugene Myeong, and Bae Hyun-soo. People who survived the previous devil’s game together.

‘Shin Do-hyun is pretty today too. It’s a bit disappointing that he’s wearing sportswear instead of wearing a suit.’

The other two were a rugged gym guy and a beauty with a slender body. The woman’s beauty was close to Shin Do-hyeon’s. However, my preference is for Shin Do-hyun, who has a large height, breasts, and buttocks.

When I approached Shin Do-hyeon, she was surprised to see a revolver in her hand.

‘Gun? ‘How do you have a gun?’

Chijijik.

Sound comes from speakers hanging on the ceiling. Everyone looked at the ceiling and listened.

-Hello. Hello game participants. Nice to meet you.

-This game is a room escape game. The participant wins if they escape 3 rooms within 3 hours.

-Hints needed to escape the room are hidden throughout. Also, a crucial hint is on the killer’s body. If you get the crucial hint, escaping the room won’t be difficult.

-There is a murderer lurking among you. The killer must kill one of the participants within 3 hours before escaping the room. Even if the murderer escapes the room, if he fails to kill, he loses the game. Defeat means death.

-The murderer can only use the time to kill once. During the 3-minute killing time, the killer can use the most familiar cold weapon.

-Then, have a nice game.

The speaker’s voice was cut off. But I couldn’t take my eyes off the sky. Because there was a notification window there.

“Seong Yu-jin, you are a murderer.”
