Chapter 2513 – 2513. The Devil’s Game
1. You must not look back or walk backwards within the station. Ignore any sounds behind you and walk forward.
2. There are no station staff at this station. Anyone impersonating a station employee is not a station employee. If you see a station attendant, kill him before he shouts.
3. There are exits 1 to 12. Of these, only exit 12 is a real exit. All exits except exit 12 lead to terrible places rather than the ground.
4. When you hear the subway announcement sound, go down to the basement and board the subway.
5. The subway does not come to this station. Number 4 is false.
6. When you hear the subway sound, stop walking and close your eyes until the sound ends.
7. Do not enter the emergency exit. There are no emergency exits at this station.
8. If you feel a cold breeze, move quickly. If you smell the smell of decay in the cold wind, immediately use your escape ticket and give up the grand game.
9. Even if you hear the voice of a deceased family member or friend, ignore it.
10. Talk as little as possible and act quietly. Do not use firearms within the station.
11. Aisle 4 is safe. In aisle 4, you can look back, walk backwards, or change direction.
12. Exit 12 must appear. Don’t give up.
13. If you understand all of the above, you will be able to leave the station safely.
Bae Hyun-soo trembled after reading the cover.
“Jinmyeong hyung… Do I have to go in here? This is a kind of Neapolitan ghost story. There are also monsters, so of course this ghost story is true…”
I am equally reluctant.
However, Jinmyeong Eugene stared at the sign and answered calmly.
“We know. Maybe this ghost story is true. But I don’t think this is bad. It’s telling you how to act.”
I frowned and glared at the sign. I tried to memorize it, but it wasn’t easy at all. I wish I had a smartphone… All I have in my hand is a lightning axe.
“Eu Jinmyeong. Can you say what is written here is real? Number 4 is clearly stated as a lie.”
“What Mr. Eugene says makes sense. And fortunately, I have the ability to determine the truth. “What this sign says is the truth.”
“Then there’s no problem. Just do what the signs say.”
“I memorized everything on the sign. Stand side by side and go down. Be careful not to look back. You might find something and be startled and walk backwards… At that time, it would be better to close your eyes and sit down. Eugene and I will solve it.”
Eugene Myung spoke calmly as always. I was surprised that Eugene Myung memorized the entire contents of the sign. In terms of time, less than 3 minutes would have passed.
I only remembered the main points of the sign.
Do not look back or walk backwards. If you see a station employee, kill him. When you hear the subway signal, stop and close your eyes. Move as quietly as possible. If you feel a cold wind, you run. If you smell corruption, you use your escape ticket. Aisle 4 is safe. Exit 12 is real.
After understanding the contents, we slowly went down the stairs.
‘You tell me not to look back, so I want to look back even more.’
I know there’s nothing behind me. There is no sense of presence. But curiosity continues to arise. Why not look back just once?
‘Let’s be patient.’
After coming down the stairs, I entered the station. It was bright and clean. There was even a fluorescent light on the ceiling. Bright. But it was eerie.
There was no specific rule not to say anything, so I spoke to Eugene Myung.
“Jinmyeong. If you look at the map, doesn’t exit 12 appear?”
“Unfortunately, nothing shows up on Hyeonsu’s map. Let’s say it’s painted pitch black. The map seems to be lacking in power.”
“I can’t help it.”
Walk forward.
Passage 3.
There was nothing.
However, a voice was heard from behind. It was Shin Do-hyun’s voice.
-Eujin. Please help me.
Shin Do-hyeon was walking on my right. I glance at Shin Do-hyeon’s face with just a glance. His expression wasn’t very good. She seems to hear her voice too. Does she have her own voice? Or is it someone else’s voice? I don’t know that much.
– Mr. Eugene. Please check behind you for a moment.
This time, Jinmyeong Eugene’s voice.
-Ahhhhh!
Jo Na-young’s scream.
-Seong Yujin! You fucking bastard! Are you that handsome?! Shin Do-hyun is mine!
I flinch.
She almost turned back when she heard Bae Hyun-soo’s voice. But I stopped with superhuman patience.
Soon, Exit 3 came into view. These are the stairs leading to the ground level. I felt a warm light from above. But it’s a trap. We ignored it and walked down aisle 3.
After passage 3, passage 7 came out. Bae Hyun-soo let out a sigh of regret. It seems that they expected that there would be a safe passage 4 instead of passage 7.
There was an emergency exit in aisle 7. Inside the slightly open emergency exit, a long-haired, pale-faced virgin ghost was smiling and peeping at us.
I made eye contact with a ghost. It’s an ugly bitch. So, she died as a virgin and became a ghost.
“Knife.”
He said, extending his hand to Shin Do-hyeon. Shin Do-hyeon took out a dagger from subspace and placed it in my hand.
Immediately throw the dagger.
The dagger flew in a straight line and stuck in the middle of the virgin ghost’s forehead. The virgin ghost falls backwards.
“You have earned 10 game points.”
If I could kill, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“Hey…”
Bae Hyun-soo trembled. It seems that the tension was relieved to some extent after the virgin ghost died.
“Hyeonsu. At least hold my hand.”
Eugene Myung, who was no better, came forward.
“Thank you. Brother. Yeah, but the ceiling vents…”
He raised his head. Another virgin ghost was looking at us. This time, I reached out to Shin Do-hyeon.
“It’s not like there’s an infinite amount of daggers.”
“Just grab that.”
Puck!
This time, he pierced right between the ghost’s eyes. I smiled in satisfaction. If I threw it, I felt like throwing it because it was a hundred shots.
“You have earned 10 game points.”
‘I’m a girl with nothing special, but she gives me a lot of game points.’
Ghosts are scary. However, if it is a ghost that can be killed, the story is different.
Exit 7 was visible. We ignored the exit and walked forward.
-♪♩♫♪~
A melody came from a speaker hanging on the ceiling.
“This is a guidance sound. Everyone stop and close your eyes. “You must not move.”
We followed Eugene Myung’s words.
-The train to hell is coming now.
A female announcer’s voice mixed with noise.
-Kaaaaa!
-Get on the train!
-This hell is a good hell!
Crash.
Even though we were clearly in a passageway, we could hear the subway door opening right in front of us. And then a hot and unpleasant wind caressed my body.
– Boarding, boarding, boarding.
– Actually, it is not a train to hell, but to heaven. You want to go to heaven, right? Get on it.
-Open your eyes!
-Get in, you fucking bastard!
-Kaaaaa!
Crash.
The train door closes. And then there was the sound of the train leaving.
-The train to hell has left. The next train to Hell arrives in 44 minutes. Thank you.
-♪♩♫♪~
Since it seems like it’s over, I decide to open my eyes. If this were fishing, I would have gotten some advice. I can see advice even if I close my eyes.
“Done. Open your eyes.”
“Ha. “I was really surprised.”
Shin Do-hyun and other team members sighed.
Arrived at aisle 4. Safe aisle 4. And where there is a merchant who sells sacred weapons to kill demons.
I looked back at aisle 4. I was curious about what was behind it.
The scene behind was ordinary. It was an ordinary subway passage. It was so unexpectedly ordinary that my curiosity disappeared.
Unlike me, who was calm, my teammates were sweating profusely. Eugene Myung was the same. I was the only one who was fine and didn’t break a drop of sweat.
We took a sip of cool water each and moved.
Found a merchant. A merchant, completely wrapped in tattered clothes, was sitting on the floor with a mat spread out. Objects were placed in front of him.
“Haha. Nice to meet you, guests. It looks like you came to see me. Now, let’s take a look.”
I frowned at the harsh voice that sounded like scratching on an iron plate.
Pajijik.
I gripped the hilt of my lightning ax tightly. If I kill the merchant, wouldn’t I be able to take all his goods?
〈Warning. Do not attack merchants.〉
I decided to do as the advice told me.
I checked the items placed on the mat. Cutter, drinks, coins, flash grenades, spray. A total of 5. It would not be an ordinary object like an axe.
“Where is the sacred weapon that can kill the devil? “I guess this cutter knife isn’t a weapon?”
“Oh. You came to me with information about the sacred weapon. I knew very well that the customers were not ordinary. Of course, I have the sacred weapon. “It’s here.”
The merchant took off part of his tattered clothes. There was nothing where his belly button should be. He put his hand into the darkness and took it out again. His hand was holding a heavy single-edged sword.
“This is Ascalon, the holy sword said to have been used by Saint George. It is said that he decapitated a dragon with this sword. It is said that it is a sword so sacred that even the devil is afraid of it.”
“Is it 100 game points?”
「Ascalon
Holy weapon. You can kill the devil.”
“Hey. You know the exact price too. Yes. 100 game points is correct.”
“I buy it.”
“Yes. Please do so.”
Game points were deducted the moment you received Ascalon from the merchant.
「Game points held: 21」
I swung Ascalon in the air a few times. The center of gravity was at the tip of the sword. Although it is a little awkward, it is a heavy and good sword.
“Guests. There are other good items too, so take a look. We will disclose the product’s function and price transparently.”
「Slash cutter knife
Consumes one cutter blade to perform a slash.
120GP.”
「Satanic Ionic Drink
Completely recovers stamina.
30GP.”
「Coin
Earn random game points by tossing a coin.
50GP”
「Flashbang
It’s a flashbang.
30GP”
「Stop spray
A disposable spray that freezes the target.
50GP”
“The Slashing Cutter is more expensive than Ascalon.”
“That’s because when considering only killing power, the slash cutter knife is superior. Considering that you can use it a total of 12 times, I think it’s cheap, right? For reference, I also purchase gaming tools. Oh, you can also save up game points and make purchases.”
I asked my team members how much they had.
All together, 155 GP.
“How much can I buy these dice for?”
“Ah. This is good stuff. “I will purchase it for 70 GP.”
“…”
Only 70GP? From the beginning, I had no intention of doing anything, but now I have no more intention.
Eugene Myung took out the utility key and asked.
“How much is this?”
“You’re an all-rounder. 25GP would be appropriate.”
“…”
Of course, Jinmyeong Eugene did not sell it either.
