Chapter 7 – Episode 7- Disaster (2)
The desperate scream of a person you would hear in a horror movie.
Surprised by something, frightened by something, the sound of scratching one’s throat and spitting out, quietly but sharply pierced everyone’s ears.
“… What.”
I raised myself reflexively.
I didn’t know what it was, but I got up without knowing it in a hesitant posture.
Meanwhile, an unpleasant sensation ran through my body.
The feeling of something sticky sticking to my body.
The feeling of something in a thin film quickly passing through my body was a sensation I had definitely felt somewhere, so I naturally recalled this sensation and looked back at my memories.
“Ah.”
A low, cold shriek is heard from the side.
When I turned my head to the cool voice I had never heard before, to my surprise, it was Miho who spoke out.
Miho closed his eyes and stiffened the corners of his mouth that always smiled.
As I looked at it, the memory of the sensation I felt earlier came to mind without me knowing.
‘Barrier.’
It’s obviously unfamiliar, but unlike before, it’s an unpleasant feeling.
This sensation was the one I felt as I passed the stairs the day I first met Miho.
“Quaaaaagh!”
The screams from outside grow louder.
At the same time, the sound of something breaking and crushing overlapped.
Kudang, Kagagak!
A tremendous roar that can be heard when a blunt instrument hits a desk or a wall.
And in the middle, there is a cracking sound that sounds like something soft is exploding.
The faces of everyone in the class began to harden.
“Hey… Guys, calm down… Calm down.”
The teacher standing in front of the blackboard calms us down, shaking his hands.
Even her calming teacher showed signs of panic, but her teacher picked up his cellphone from her podium in the midst of her panic.
“I don’t know what’s going on… Call the police…”
The teacher picks up her cell phone and taps the screen.
The teacher, who seemed to press the screen accurately while shaking her hand, was crushing it with her fingers as if breaking her cell phone as time passed.
“Why… Why not?!”
Feeling strange, I hurriedly took out my cell phone.
The top line of the status bar on the screen, there was a signal that the antenna had disappeared and the communication service was unavailable.
Kwaduk…! Wooddeuk…!
In an instant, silence arrived in half.
We were holding our breath in this small space, as if the unknown cracking and breaking sounds outside were all illusions.
But the silence was broken by a sound.
Come and go
The sound of several people rushing up the stairs.
This academy consisted of a first floor, a second floor, and a rooftop.
This class we are in is on the second floor.
So the sound of climbing those stairs was talking to us.
‘That sound is not an illusion, it’s a disaster that will strike you as well.’
“I… Get out, boys!”
The teacher wags her arm and yells at us.
But before the words could be uttered, the guys in the back seat were already instinctively opening the door and running outside.
As the door swung open, a more chaotic mixture of noises entered.
Screams, footsteps, piercings and piercings.
In this chaotic situation that seemed to have turned into a mayhem in an instant, I moved on.
“Let’s go, Miho.”
I grabbed the hand of Miho, who had a surprisingly cold expression next to me.
I hurriedly took Miho and tried to get out.
Miho let go of my hand without saying anything.
“…?”
What am I doing? Turn your head.
I saw Miho with a complicated expression.
“Miho…?”
Before I knew it, all the kids in my class had already passed out into the hallway.
In the classroom where only the two of them were left, Miho stared at me.
“Han Joon-ah.”
Miho slowly approaches me.
Miho, who grabbed my shoulder, smiled faintly, then lifted his tiptoe and put his lips on mine.
“Uh… Huh?”
What’s going on?
For a moment, my head couldn’t react.
I couldn’t understand Miho kissing me in such an urgent situation, and Miho kissing me without hypnotizing me.
As I stared blankly at Miho, Miho hardened his expression as if he had made up his mind and looked up at me.
At that moment, Miho’s eyes turned red.
“Han Jun-ah, run away. You have to escape somehow and live.”
Miho touches my cheek and whispers.
As if hypnotizing me, or as if making a promise to herself, Miho spat out the words and her body trembled.
Then, three tails and triangular ears protruded from Miho’s body.
Miho, who had even dyed his hair white before he knew it, grabbed my hand and led me.
As if everyone had already gone up to the rooftop, Miho reached the stairs after passing through the empty hallway and let go of my hand.
Whoops… Whoops!
A creepy sound echoes from the bottom of the stairs.
If at first it was mixed with the sounds of something breaking and people spewing out screams.
Now all I could hear was sobbing and chewing.
As I stopped walking, Miho looked up at me again with red eyes and said,
“Han Jun-ah, run away. And make sure to live.”
Miho looks at me intently.
Red eyes, hypnotic.
As I have been doing, I must move.
“……”
Let me slowly move my steps towards the stairs going up.
Miho, who had her eyes on me for a moment, headed down the stairs.
Whoops… Whoops!
Every time I climb the stairs, step by step, my feet feel heavy as if submerged in a swamp.
Bones twist, and the sound of snapping reverberates in my ears.
Before coming, the body of the cat I saw in the alley came to mind.
A corpse with a hole in one corner of the stomach and the intestines dripping.
That figure instantly changed to Miho’s.
Because she had always lingered in my mind, I recalled Miho’s corpse in detail without realizing it.
With his three tails drooping, Miho’s blood is dripping.
Tall.
I stopped.
After walking a little further, there was a door to the roof, but I couldn’t go any further.
Miho.
It had only been a few days since I met Miho, but she was already deeply embedded in my daily life.
She was annoying because she was the complete opposite of me, who was clumsy in human relationships and always pushed me away.
But.
More than that, it was also fun.
Miho acted arbitrarily, but that’s why he was dazzling.
As a man, I was happy because he showed his feelings without hesitation, as if he really liked me.
So.
I couldn’t just leave the girl I liked and run away alone.
Even if it’s something that isn’t a person.
To go down the stairs, he turned his body around.
As I was slowly going downstairs, something on the floor next to the stairs caught my eye.
A bright red thing with a cylindrical nozzle.
Carefully picking up the object I had seen in zombie movies and other media, I slowly headed towards the first floor.
* *
Miho Lee.
She suppressed her pounding heart and headed down slowly.
Wood deuk… Ugh!
Although the creepy sound and thick bloody smell stimulated the sensitive senses of hearing and smell.
Miho pretended nothing was wrong and stepped onto the first floor.
“Ouddeuk…! Quick!”
Then, a black giant came into Miho’s eyes.
Mostly it was human in shape, but with a grotesque twist.
There were only large teeth and two bright yellow eyes where the head should be.
On both hands where the hands would be, there were crumpled scissors-like hands and hammer-like hands.
“… Disgusting bastard.”
After the person who was put in its teeth and crushed into small pieces came to the academy, Miho realized that he was the person she greeted and bit his lip.
“Ouddeuk…!”
The giant that had swallowed a whole person before she knew it lowered her head and looked down at Miho.
The giant squinted his eyes as if it were laughing, and made a grotesque noise while looking at Miho.
“Queek…! Queek…! Queek…!”
An unpleasant sound that mimics human laughter.
Miho unknowingly spat out a curse.
“The shallow shadow fiend fearlessly spread a barrier right here where I am.”
She proudly spreads her tail.
It exhales condensed yin energy from its body, creating a fox orb on its tail.
After taking a deep breath and practicing the magic she had learned so far, Miho faced the shadow demon in front of him.
The Shadow Fiend’s weakness is fire.
Even if that shadow fiend is a fiend whose magical power has become stronger by devouring dozens of people.
If it was this fox orb with the attribute of fire, it would have been able to deal with it somehow.
“Queek…! Queek…?!”
The Shadow Fiend twists his head.
Curiously, with her face twisted, the shadow fiend looked at the golden fox orb for a moment before suddenly lowering herself.
And after inflating his body in an instant, he jumped at Miho.
Kwajik!
The sound of the floor breaking was heard, and in an instant, the guy had arrived right in front of Miho.
Despite being bounced at great speed, Miho calmly unleashed his fox orb, curling his tail forward.
Piing-!
The three blue fox marbles are broken, and blue flames are spewed out.
The blue flames spewed out in all directions burned the shadow fiend’s body, but it was not enough to stop its speed.
“Turn it off… Kikiiik!”
The Shadow Fiend reaches out to her.
The twisted pair of scissors tried to stab Miho in the stomach, but Miho flexibly twisted his back to avoid the attack.
However.
“…?!”
The right hand made of the shadow devil’s hammer that was hidden by blue flames and was not seen.
That right hand was rushing toward the space he had avoided.
“Kick…!”
As the shadow fiend burns in flames, it laughs in a grotesque voice.
Could it be that you were aiming for that?
A shadow demon that eats people and absorbs people’s knowledge and life force.
Realizing that the number of people it had eaten was higher than he thought, Miho widened his eyes.
Unfortunately, he could not undo the fact that he realized belatedly.
Fuck!
The eyes go white.
My mind was cut off for a moment by the dull sound of impact and the dizzying pain I heard.
Miho, who came to his senses, realized that he had flown through the air and was pinned to a wall.
“Kikgiggik…! Kkigiggeek!”
The Shadow Fiend cuts off the blue flames attached to my body with scissors.
Watching that thing with only simple intelligence take its own damage and cut off its own flesh to prevent it from igniting any more, Miho laughed out loud.
‘… This.’
I guessed roughly.
He said he couldn’t stop him.
Unlike his older sisters, as an imperfect himself, he couldn’t stop him.
‘Ah.’
Seeing the shadow fiend approaching her, Miho let out regret inwardly.
I was afraid of the fact that death was coming soon, but when I remembered the image of a boy who suddenly came to my mind, I felt regret.
‘I want to see you just once.’
Miho smiled bitterly.
Because I knew it was a wish that would not come true.
However, then.
“Hey, this chew!”
Suddenly, a familiar sound was heard.
He couldn’t believe his ears because he was the one who hypnotized him and was sure he wouldn’t be able to come here.
Seeing Kang Han-jun wielding a fire extinguisher, flying in the air from afar in the blurred vision, Miho was shocked.
“You bastard!”
Caang!
A cheerful sound echoed, and the fire extinguisher collapsed.
The fire extinguisher, which was accurately inserted into the shadow fiend’s eyeball, twisted my body and turned the shadow fiend’s face once.
The giant shadow fiend’s body slowly collapses.
Kang Han-jun picked up a cracked fire extinguisher, climbed on top of it, and continued to hit it.
“Erai chew!”
Caang! Caang! Caang!
The fire extinguisher made a cheerful sound, only striking the shadow fiend’s face.
Miho couldn’t understand the situation at all, so he stared blankly at the scene for a while.
