Episode 488
I looked at Sun Ah-hyun.
‘Let’s exchange cards?’
Besides, the guy who called me to the outside of his room took something out of his pocket.
“…!”
Gold with QR code.
It is a commodity used to exchange cards.
“Where did you find it?”
“Uh, actually….”
Sun Ah-hyun whispered quietly.
He said that when he woke up in his room, he searched the room while reading the profile.
“Then under the bed…I found it.”
“….”
That means you found it at the beginning of the game.
‘And you’ve been keeping your mouth shut all this time?’
Seon Ah-hyun?
I was involuntarily amazed.
‘Everyone knows a little bit about entertainment.’
It was kind of odd. I can’t wait to see how this will turn out if it’s edited according to the scenario Ryu Seo-rin put together.
“But I don’t know if it’s okay to write like this. It could be used at a crucial moment.”
Then, Seon Ah-hyun nodded with a determined expression.
“I need to know the information, so it’s okay to spend my gold…!”
“hmm.”
Originally, when it comes to efficiency, the correct answer is not to do it until someone else does it… ….
‘This is entertainment.’
It was good for the development to get rid of the first attempt quickly. So I nodded.
“Then let’s get to know each other’s jobs. I think that would be good.”
“Okay I…I am a scholar.”
oh.
I nodded.
“Moondae…?”
“I am a doctor.”
“Ah ah!”
“It’s a good job,” Sun Ah-hyun blushed and nodded.
With that, the story is over.
“Exchange our cards.”
“Huh?”
“Did you find the gold?”
I called the other members and stood in front of the front door.
“I’m just going to try it out once.”
“okay.”
Big Sejin nodded.
I once again organized the rules of the game.
“If one of us is going to be the sacrifice, this card exchange will change the sacrifice.”
“Yeah right.”
It’s like passing the joker in a card game.
‘Is it a bomb transfer?’
However, this seemed like a survival game with a culprit, a murderer, hiding like a mafia game.
But whether it’s mafia or citizen, I don’t think it’s necessary to put a job like ‘scholar’ or ‘doctor’ first.
I remembered the answer I gave to Liu Cheng-wu earlier.
Which job do you think is most likely to die?
– A detective or a clown.
If the person chosen as the sacrifice is the mafia, if it is a detective, if it is a citizen, it is a clown.
‘This is the standard route.’
Jobs such as scholars and doctors do not attract more aggro than those two.
So, in front of the dark entrance, the only one where the lights still don’t come on.
Relying solely on the light from the panel, we lifted the card.
“do.”
“Yes.”
I scanned the QR codes of Seon Ah-hyun and Gold as they were.
“….”
Then, the screen on the front door panel began to swirl silently in dark red.
“Boo!”
“Oh, you’re scarier than I thought?”
I fixed my eyes on the panel while listening to the nervous voices of the guys.
The vortex lasted for 3-4 seconds and then disappeared.
All that remains on the screen are the backs of the two cards.
[Token exchange completed]
[Park Moon-dae < - > Seon Ah-hyun]
“Oh.”
“That’s how you do it.”
A small exclamation of admiration rang out from the members.
And I messed up my card.
‘There is no other information.’
It seemed that only the records of exchanges were neatly stored there.
“It was nothing.”
“Yes. still…It was amazing!”
“It is.”
There were no other clutter. Seon Ah-hyun and I walked away from the front door like that, as if we were satisfied with the demonstration.
After that, it was a series of searches.
“Mundaemundae~ Couldn’t you open the bathroom door in this dorm? Oh, if it’s this difficult, I think there’s gold in here too… .”
“There is a ghost inside.”
“Uhhhh.”
and conte.
“There’s chicken in the fridge!”
“…!!”
“The fact that they serve rice is really impressive.”
It was also a moment when the atmosphere was about to loosen up a bit as the conte continued.
The members scattered around the two spacious lodgings as if they had gradually become numb to the environment.
‘Has it already passed two hours?’
and after a while
Beep beep!
“…!”
An alarm went off on the porch.
Then, like an emergency notice, the voice began repeating itself with the sound of a siren.
[Enter the room of the beginning of warning.]
[Enter the room of the beginning of warning.]
[Enter the room of the beginning of warning.]
“What what.”
“The starting room?”
The scattered members ran out. I screamed loudly, conscious of the sound of the siren.
“I think we’re talking about the room we each started in!”
“iced coffee!”
“See you all in a little while!”
The guys who ran to the front door soon dispersed in perfect order. Indeed, it was like the guys who ate broadcast jjambab.
I also returned to the room where I started.
The room that reproduced my room in the previous accommodation.
Click.
It was the moment when I went in there and closed the door, blocking out the sound of the siren.
Ding-dong!!
“…!!”
[This is the middle notice time.]
…There are also speakers here.
‘…after.’
You’re doing this on purpose to scare people.
I sat down on the bed in the corner of the dark room because the fluorescent light didn’t come on again before I knew it.
Then the grotesque mechanical sound rode through the speakers again.
[Check the bedside drawer.]
Come on.
I moved my hand Inside the bedside drawer was an electronic device.
It obviously wasn’t there before.
‘Did the filming staff come out and put it in?’
You are suffering. I muttered to myself when I saw the black box with only the camera protruding from the corner
and carefully turned on the screen of the electronic device. It was a five-star tap, probably because it was received through PPL.
Beep.
The lighted screen cuts through the dark air and sparkles.
[Job Ability Disclosure]
[Your job ability is….]
‘Hoo.’
You split the members because of this.
I read it all slowly.
“….”
‘This… Was it written here?’
It was quite interesting.
I was rubbing my chin while thinking of a few applications, when a snooze sounded.
‘hmm?’
The pad’s screen changed again.
[01:00:00]
[※Marks can be checked※]
Time remaining until the end of the game and…Is it a token of my card?
“….”
I raised my hand and touched the pad.
[Kyahahaha!]
The first thing I heard was the laughter of a child.
That innocent sound creates a sense of incongruity somewhere and sends chills down the spine.
And without warning, a huge red circular pattern filled the pad.
Lamb skull pattern.
[Your card is ‘Sacrifice Mark’.]
[Current Lamb: Moondae Park]
“….”
Right.
I took my eyes off the pad screen for a moment and caught my breath.
The sacrifice mark is on me.
So if I go on like this, I will die.
* * *
“Ughhhh~ Did everyone see it well!”
“Yeah bro!”
The siren sounded again and the members got out of their respective rooms.
And the remaining hour went by in an instant.
Now, rather than searching for gold, he went back to talking and monitoring.
“Huh? Where are the two older brothers going~ Exchange cards by any chance?”
“…I’m going to heat that chicken.”
“…yep.”
Externally, an hour passed smoothly without any incidents or conflicts.
However, a strange tension was rising.
‘soon.’
That’s it.
I waited and waited for the ending.
and after a while
Beep beep!!
“Oh.”
“I guess time is up.”
I wasn’t too surprised this time.
However, everyone looked a little nervous.
‘The dropouts are decided.’
After being in this for several hours, the degree of immersion naturally became stronger, and the word ‘sacrifice’ seemed to feel a bit terrifying.
It’s like entering an amusement park haunted house.
“It’s up.”
And the panel on the front door was really counting down.
[00:00:00]
Then, huge letters appear to cover it.
[End of Exchange]
“….”
The modulated mechanical sound began to flow from the speakers again.
[Pre-announcement notice.]
[The first sacrifice token you received was determined by the supporters’ vote.]
“After the supporters…?”
[Voting result of fans who love you]
‘… …Pan?’
The red graph went up endlessly on the screen, and the figure of 20374 votes appeared.
Combining those high numbers and explanations… .
“no way…Was this a fan vote?”
“When did you receive it?”
‘I know yeah.’
Whether the astonished members are surprised or not, the panel silently narrates.
[The one job that got the most votes was 20374 votes.]
Now everyone is watching the panel with bated breath.
[And now that the time limit has passed, the class with this sacrifice mark is… ….]
Gulp.
The moment I heard the sound of swallowing saliva in dreary tension.
The result rang.
[Scholar.]
“…!!”
“ah.”
I reflexively glanced back at Seon Ah-hyun.
Seon Ah-hyun had a pale face.
‘….’
-Ugh I… a scholar
Sun Ah-hyun obviously said that.
And the members immediately started looking around to find the person concerned.
“Scholar?”
“Who are the scholars? tell me!”
“….”
But it was still.
No one stepped forward, and Seon Ah-hyun kept her mouth shut.
“uh?”
“…Why is no one coming out?”
Sejin Bae narrowed his eyes and Raebin Kim looked around with a puzzled expression.
“Isn’t it a situation where the outcome can’t be changed anyway?”
“that’s right!”
“But why…?”
It was a time when everyone was talking with confused expressions.
[The room of the offering has been opened.]
Shik.
“omg.”
The front door opened automatically.
And after that, I could see that another door opened automatically.
as soon as…A solitary room in our side of the dorm.
It is the room that has not been opened.
“Is this the sacrificial room?”
“I guess so.”
It popped into my head reflexively.
The note that Kim Rae-bin picked up after falling under that door.
– I open at the end.
‘Did that mean that room would open at the end of this game?’
Or when it is decided who will die or who will end… is it.
I assumed that for the time being and followed them. I thought I should say this in an interview because of the atmosphere.
And in front of the open solitary door.
“I’m in!”
Cha Yu-jin stepped forward without hesitation. but….
“Oops!!”
“Why why.”
The boy frowned and stepped back.
‘what?’
Everyone looked into the room in amazement at the reaction.
“…!!”
Inside the room… It was like an altar of some pseudo-church.
The torn black wallpaper and burning red candles swayed eerily.
And a huge coffin-shaped altar located in the middle. On it was carved a pattern of a red sheep’s head skull.
‘You’re crazy.’
Kwak!
“Ahh!”
Is there even a thunder effect?
In front of the space where the art team was replaced, the members became a group of penguins again.
“Moondaemundae I don’t think I can sleep in this room anymore….”
“I’m glad you moved.”
“huh.”
Anyway, we entered it cautiously.
“…I have a name tag.”
“Ugh.”
And soon, like a table for guests, it took on a shape that surrounded the coffin-shaped altar according to the marked names.
That was the moment.
[Participants.]
“I knew it would be like this.”
“me too.”
The bizarre narration started flowing through the speakers again.
The camera from the coffin rotates to capture our faces.
[Welcome to the Sacrifice Room.]
“Are we really supposed to sacrifice a member here?!”
“Calm down, Rabin.”
[Participants must find the black sheep here.]
“….”
black sheep?
[The participant who handed over his sacrifice fate to another participant.]
[In other words, the culprit who sacrificed the ‘scholar’ through the last token exchange is the ‘black sheep’.]
“Huh.”
“Wow, I don’t know more and more about this.”
I sorted it out quickly.
‘hmm.’
So it means to find the one who left the last mark to the ‘scholar’ who eventually became the final sacrifice.
It seems that the act was judged as a kind of ‘mafia’ or ‘criminal’.
‘Then I just need to find the guy I exchanged with the scholar last time.’
It was a moment when I wondered if it was too easy to reason about.
Another condition has been added.
[If the black sheep is properly deduced, the culprit will be burnt along with the sacrifice.]
[But if the black sheep cannot be found]
“…then?”
[Everything except the black sheep and the sacrifice is burnt.
]
“Wow, this is a complete horror game!”
Screams and violent reactions came out from here and there at the sound of annihilation.
‘oh.’
So, this is a structure that you can live with if the sacrifice keeps its mouth shut.
‘If I do this, I won’t tell you who I traded with.’
I admired the viciousness of the production crew.
[Then, good luck.]
Good luck- Good luck….
The speaker, which had been echoing ominously, soon crackled and cut off.
And the skull pattern on the coffin was illuminated with red light.
“Oh!”
“Looks like it should start.”
While sticking out his tongue at the awesome room, the atmosphere soon settled in its own way.
The members seemed to think of something to talk about while organizing their thoughts so far.
Of course, this is probably number one.
‘It must be who the scholar who became the sacrifice was.’
In fact, wouldn’t it be the end if we somehow interrogated that person and caught the person who made the last exchange?
But the first thing he said was,
“Wait! I have something to tell you first.”
It was Bae Se-jin.
The boy spoke calmly.
“I knew what my job was.”
“yes?”
“I am a lawyer.”
And as he told me, he started telling me everything he knew.
‘Is this reasonable since it’s the last minute?’
I nodded inwardly.
If you know all the occupations, it is easy to infer who has which occupation by elimination.
“But there is one person who has given a job that no one else has! That person… .”
And it was the moment Bae Se-jin was about to say Kim Rae-bin’s name.
“Huh? wait a minute.”
‘…?’
Big Sejin suddenly intervened. The guy immediately asks Bae Se-jin, who stopped talking in embarrassment.
“What is your job like?”
“…I’m a lawyer. Because the lawyer’s professional skills can know other professions… .”
“…? No, your brother is a lawyer?”
Big Sejin laughed.
And he made a bombshell statement.
“weird. Am I a lawyer?”
“…!!”
“Uh huh?”
“There can be no two jobs that are the same. Right?”
“….”
The members opened their mouths and looked back at the two people with the same name.
Big Sejin stroked the back of his neck.
“Ugh. Judging from the reactions, it seems that Sejin-hyung has been saying that he is a lawyer here and there, but that lawyer can’t do that because of his mission.
“…!!”
Keun Sejin looked at the members’ reactions, then frowned and smiled bitterly.
And he sighed.
“Oh, you’ve all been tricked by hyung-nim. You’ve all been tricked.”
“….”
A moment of embarrassing silence separated the members.
That moment.
“wait for a sec.”
Bae Se-jin said firmly with a white face.
“You’re the one cheating!”
‘oh my god.’
I swallowed my saliva.
‘One of the two is unconditionally trolling, right?’
I can already see viewers who can’t breathe and chew popcorn.
It was literally the beginning of a melee.
