Chapter 2489 – 2489. The Devil’s Game

“Seong Yu-jin, you are a murderer.”

“If you succeed in killing, you can escape the room whenever you want. If you escape, you are judged to have won the game.”

「You can use the killer’s time once.」

I quickly read the notification window floating in the air and almost burst out laughing.

‘Isn’t this a huge advantage to the murderer?’

You only need to kill more than one person.

All you have to do is pretend to be crazy and kill the person right next to you. Of course, people are aware of the existence of a murderer, so they are on guard… If it were me, I could kill one guy for sure.

‘… No. Shin Do-hyun is holding a revolver. The weapon that appears when activating the killer’s time is a cold weapon. You can’t beat a gun.’

You must not act recklessly.

‘I would like to continue a good relationship with Shin Do-hyun. If I commit murder carelessly, my relationship with Shin Do-hyeon will be ruined.’

Rape Shin Do-hyun? Hmm. Shin Do-hyun is holding a gun? And Shin Do-hyun was not an ordinary woman, but a candidate for my girlfriend.

‘So what now? ‘Who should I kill?’

• • •

Eugene Myung knew the essence of the game as soon as he heard it.

Escape from the room is secondary, and the real game is finding the murderer. It can be said to be a type of mafia game.

Therefore, Eugene Myung used the ability he received as a reward from the last game as soon as the voice from the speaker ended.

Ability that can be used twice a day.

Determination of truth.

Determine the truth of visible objects. It was also possible to determine whether the subject’s words were true or false.

But it wasn’t a lie detector. Rather, it is closer to an O/X quiz game. When this person asks a question, the ability determines truth and lies and answers the question.

Eugene Myung looked at Seong Yujin and asked a question.

‘Is Seong Yu-jin a murderer designated by the devil’s game?’

「Truth.」

The murderer was found at once.

If you kill Seong Yu-jin and search through his body, you can get a crucial hint.

And if you want to kill Seong Yu-jin, it has to be now. The sooner a murderer dies, the better.

‘It’s not good.’

Eugene Myung had to continue playing the devil’s game. She also researched the devil’s game.

‘The devil’s game is basically individual survival… Surprisingly, there are many games played in teams. And just because it’s an individual game doesn’t mean you can’t form a team. If you form a team in an individual game, it actually becomes more advantageous.’

In this devil’s game, trustworthy allies are essential. Eugene Myung chose Seong Yujin as his colleague.

‘The physicality to beat Jang Hwi-chun in a one-on-one fight. I have already seen Sung Yu-jin’s physical strength with my own eyes. Considering future games, Sung Yu-jin’s physicality is essential.’

Yu Jin-myeong’s eyes turn to Seong Yu-jin’s side. There was a rugged, muscular man. Just by looking at his appearance, he seemed twice as strong as Seong Yu-jin.

‘I don’t have the eerie feeling I had when I first saw Seong Yu-jin.’

Still, I don’t know. He might be stronger than Seong Yu-jin.

‘I need to get information first.’

• • •

As everyone became wary of each other, the surrounding atmosphere became heavy.

I’m nervous. Did anyone realize that I was a murderer? Should I get involved in politics? Since I don’t play games these days, I’m not good at politics.

‘If Shin Do-hyun finds out that I am a murderer, he will shoot me without hesitation, right? That’s a bitch.’

Jinmyeong Eugene was the first to open his mouth.

“Everyone. Let me briefly introduce myself. There are people who can’t see it. First, let me tell you in advance, the four of us worked together to survive in the previous game. It can be said to be spherical. How are you two doing?”

The rugged man and the slender beauty looked at each other and shared a look. And nods.

“We also met in the last game and worked together to survive.”

“Yes. I was lucky…”

The beauty’s face darkens. It seems like she doesn’t have a very good memory.

“My name is Eugene Myung. “I am a college student taking a leave of absence for personal reasons.”

“This is Bae Hyun-soo. I’m a high school student.”

Bae Hyun-soo did not fall from Yoo Jin-myeong’s side. Anyone who sees it will think it’s my younger brother.

“… Shin Do-hyeon.”

Shin Do-hyun held the revolver tightly. I was very alert.

“Seong Yujin. I am unemployed.”

I decided not to go to the factory, so I was unemployed. He cannot be introduced as a debt collector.

“I am Oh Geun-seong. I used to be a candidate for the national taekwondo team, and now I run a gym. If you come to our gym, we will give you it for cheap. Haha.”

Taekwondo player? Is that also national representative level?

Am I tired of fighting? It doesn’t look that strong.

“This is Jo Na-young. Idol trainee… It was. “I’m debuting this time.”

Idol? It was somehow pretty. The body feels thin and firm.

‘Hmm. Are your breasts around a B cup? It’s not small. It’s not small…’

Compared to Shin Do-hyeon, he was small. Shin Do-hyun has two watermelons on his chest.

“Hey, Mr. Shin Do-hyun. “Is that pistol real?”

Oh Geun-seong asked Shin Do-hyeon. From the hardness of his voice, he was very nervous. Isn’t it natural since the other person is holding a gun?

“Shall we test whether it is real or fake?”

Shin Do-hyeon held a revolver with both hands and pointed the gun at Oh Geun-seong.

“No. No. I believe it. I’m just curious how you hold the gun. “Would you please lower the muzzle?”

“… I’ll tell you in advance. I’m not a murderer. If I were a murderer, I would have shot and killed one person right away. Because that’s the easiest way.”

Among us, only Shin Do-hyun has a weapon. Also, a pistol. She was the strongest here.

Eugene Myung raised her hand and intervened.

“Okay, everyone calm down. Finding out who the murderer is important, but… For now, we need to focus on escaping the room. Shin Do-hyun’s pistol is probably a reward from the last game. Didn’t Oh Geun-seong and Jo Na-young receive compensation?”

“What a reward. Suddenly I had money. Are you giving me a gun too?”

“… I’m talking about additional compensation. It seems that if you kill all Jang Huichun within 3 hours, you will receive an additional reward. “Did you fail to kill Jang Hwi-chun?”

“… Just hiding and running away was too much. No, how can I deal with Jang Hwi-chun with my bare hands?”

“Ah. I see. We were lucky and were able to kill Jang Hwi-chun. “Wasn’t the place a school?”

“School? It was a large hospital.”

“It’s a little different from us. We don’t have time, so let’s talk about it in detail later and take a look around here first.”

Let’s spread out and look. That said, the size of the room was about 10 pyeong. It was a small space where everyone could monitor each other. There was a desk, drawers, and a computer. When I turned on the computer, all I could do was minesweeper.

There were two keys in the drawer. They were keys of different colors, red and yellow.

There were a total of three doors in the room. Two doors are red and yellow, respectively. There is a handle where you can insert the key. The door in the middle requires a password to enter.

“This is a door that requires a password to escape. There is no limit to the number of times… There is a time limit. You can only enter once per minute. The hint is probably inside those doors. Let’s divide into three groups and go inside the door to get a hint.”

Jo Na-young bet her opinion on Eugene Myeong’s words.

“Do we really have to divide people? It’s safer if we all move together. Like in the last game, a killer may appear…”

Eugene Jinmyeong shook his head resolutely.

“This game and the last game are different types. The killer won’t show up. And we don’t have time. There is only one murderer. If three people move together, it becomes a 2-to-1 composition. As a murderer, you cannot act rashly. I will go to the red door with Hyunsu and Shin Dohyeon. Are you dissatisfied with the staffing arrangement?”

“… I have no complaints. Yes. That would be nice.”

Jo Na-young glanced at Oh Geun-seong and said. It seems like they think it’s okay since they had a good time together in the previous game.

‘I want to move with Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young… There is no justification.’

Should I force it?

If she said she wanted to be with women, she would be suspected of being a murderer.

‘Shit. I don’t know what to do. Should I wait and see for now?’

There is no need to be too hasty. Escape the room is only stage 1, and there are more than 2 hours and 40 minutes left.

I opened the yellow door and entered with Jo Na-young and Oh Geun-seong. A long hallway continued. There was no word throughout the walk. Because everyone is suspicious of each other.

‘Especially because you openly doubt me.’

I could tell just by looking at his eyes.

It wasn’t a good idea to move now.

Sigh! Sigh!

As many as 30 snakes appeared in front of me.

“Ahhhhh!”

Jo Na-young screamed and ran back. Oh, Geun-seong and I were surprised and took a step back.

Only after increasing the distance a little bit, I was able to find the note between the snakes. The note was folded, so you had to open it by hand to find out the contents.

“That looks like a pit viper.”

Oh Geun-seong said. I looked at him and asked back.

“Are you sure?”

“Isn’t your head triangular? But why are you speaking informally?”

Oh Geun-seong opened his eyes and glared at me. I frowned and glared at him.

“Ha, that’s it. I don’t really want to argue with someone like you. The problem is how to get that note over there. There is nothing that can be used as a weapon…”

“I give up.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t want to die from a snakebite just to get a hint. “I’m going to fall in.”

It was a moment to step back.

Taang!

A gunshot rang out from behind. Shin Do-hyun shot someone.

‘Shin Do-hyeon is not a murderer, so he wouldn’t have shot someone.’

Unlike me, Oh Geun-seong and Jo Na-young’s expressions were as hard as stone. I left them behind and went out. The two of them thought about it and then followed me outside.

Jinmyeong Eugene and his party returned after about 5 minutes. There was a note in his hand. Bae Hyun-soo and Shin Do-hyun’s expressions looked somewhat serious.

“We got two numbers. It says 24.”

“We didn’t get it. There were 30 pit vipers inside. “I came out because I didn’t want to die.”

“30 pit vipers are a bit scary. There was one wild dog on our side. So fierce… If it weren’t for Shin Do-hyun, he would have been in big trouble. Let’s leave the yellow door alone for now and tackle Minesweeper on the computer first. They’ll probably give you a hint once you clear Minesweeper. I will do it.

We had to find 40 mines in a 16×16 space. Jinmyeong Eugene held the mouse and clicked continuously and cleared it in one minute. A hint has appeared. 0000. It seemed to tell me that the password was four digits.

“Hmm. Before looking for other hints, let’s try typing in the password. 2468.”

Tiririri.

The door opened.

“You’re lucky.”

Eugene Myung smiled.

“Oh, oh! After all, Jinmyeong is my older brother!”

“Haha. I’m glad it worked out well.”

Everyone liked it. Even as a murderer, I liked forcing the corners of my mouth to turn up. If I’m the only one who gets offended, it shows that I’m a murderer.

Moved to the next room.

There were red, yellow, and blue doors and an iron door with a password.

In the center of the room there was a chair, a table, a chessboard, and a small refrigerator. The refrigerator contains water, alcohol, and beverages.

‘If you don’t know the answer, give up and search.’

There was writing on the red, yellow, and blue doors.

– Two people must enter.

To get the hint, you had to open that door and go inside.

‘Only two people can enter…’ You have to go in with the murderer. This room is for a murderer.’

I understand why there is a table and chairs. The goal is to find the murderer in this room.

The intention of the game organizer was clearly felt.

‘If I take the opportunity and kill one person, it will be fine. If possible, I want to kill Oh Geun-seong…’

It’s not a bad idea to go in the door with Shin Do-hyun and Jo Na-young. Now that things are like this, shouldn’t the girl graduate?

Crash.

Shin Do-hyun moved. Her revolver raises and aims at Oh Geun-seong’s head. The distance is only about 2 m. It was a distance that could never be avoided.

Oh Geun-seong raised both her hands with a stern expression.

“Mr. Shin Do-hyun. What is this? I’m not a murderer. And the magazine seems to be empty.”

“There is one foot left. If it seems like a lie, try testing it.”

“Hey everyone. It seems to me that Shin Do-hyun misunderstands something…”

Oh Geun-seong, who continued speaking, kept his mouth shut. Because Eugene Myung was so calm. Bae Hyun-soo was also nervous, but not nervous. The only ones who are embarrassed are Jo Na-young and me.

Okay. Shin Do-hyun’s actions were planned in advance.

“There is a strategy with the highest winning rate in this game. It’s about deciding on a victim. If the victim is a murderer, all the better. Even if it’s not that.”

Eugene looked at everyone once, then finally looked at me. He looked straight into my eyes and said.

“All you have to do is allow the murderer to kill his victim. We decided to join hands with the killer. As for the murderer, kill Oh Geun-seong. The murderer has no reason to cause discord with us, as the victory condition has been achieved with that. Escape from the room is possible with just the hints here. “

He said, still not taking his eyes off me.

“If you are a murderer, kill Oh Geun-seong.”
