Episode 477
Sometimes there were people like that.
I really don’t like that guy, everything he does seems like shit, and even breathing is a hassle, so I just want him to disappear from my life.
Despite their enmity, the pair strangely get along well and the results are good, which makes them even more annoyed at each other.
“So look, this is what the structure looks like here now? “I threw your shoes that smell of blood over here…”
“No, then you’re stuck here. Didn’t you just see it? Even though there seems to be a road, it’s blocked by a wall? And down here is a pit. “If it falls out, look for it and find out what’s underneath.”
“Fuck, then what should we do… Ah. Okay, this will work. Can you slip over here and climb the tree for a moment? “Isn’t it possible that you’re physically strong and the wood is also lumpy?”
“Damn, I don’t know if it’s possible when my feet are so stupid. … No, if the branches are sufficiently extended, I think I can hold on and climb up with my arm strength. Then the branches must be strong.”
“Looking, there were vines, but I need to check that out. So, if it’s okay, is it possible? “Is it possible?”
“Is it possible for now…?”
An endorphin high school, which has become clever for social survival, and one of the circles who have been clever from birth for his selfishness. Both had moderately well-functioning minds and a utilitarian side.
Above all, the combination of Park Da-young and Song In-myeong with the common goal of ‘I can’t keep looking at that bastard’s face, so I have to find him as soon as possible’ created a strange synergy.
‘I’m even more upset because it seems like we’re making sense. I don’t think I have the same level of sensitivity as that bastard criminal, right…?’
‘Why the fuck does it feel like something is happening? There’s no way I could have a similar level of skill to this brat…?’
Two people who secretly curse at each other and are diligently planning a way forward for their lives.
Choi Min-hong, who was quietly watching the two of them sharing their opinions while whispering in a low voice so as not to attract the monster’s attention, asked into Park Da-hoon’s ear.
“Are we getting along well?”
“…No….”
“It’s bad, but is it good?”
“…Maybe…”
On the contrary, there were teams whose efficiency increased because they loathed each other.
“….”
Of course, the fact that one side of the team was my older sister and the other side was a serial killer made Park Da-hoon, a good citizen, suffer.
‘Sister, don’t play with that bastard.’
Park Da-hoon’s eyes darkened at the sight of a family carrying out a plan with ease with an abominable serial killer, even the sound of his breath.
‘He’s an asshole who says mean things to Minhong and Seo-ah, but he’s useful anyway.’
Park Da-hoon tried to hold back tears and hugged the two kindergarten students tightly, trying to heal them.
Park Da-hoon also wanted to join in and make plans on behalf of his sister, but unfortunately, he couldn’t even understand half of their conversation. How do you remember all these landmarks just by glancing at them a few times while hiding from monsters?
“Whoa….”
Park Da-hoon is closer to the body type than the brain type.
Realizing that there was nothing he could do until the two came up with a plan, Park Da-hoon took a rest in a position where he could run away even if he was caught by monsters.
He thought to himself as he looked up at the endless ceiling.
‘…It’s really bizarre.’
It was so humid, dark and confusing.
‘Still, the freshwater theme zone was bright, but this place was really…’
The ‘Friends by the Stream’ corner was so bright that it hurt my eyes, perhaps because the water emits its own white light. But when I think about it, it seems like there was no lighting, just because the water was shining. If you think about it that way, I could roughly understand why this corner of the ‘Amazon of the World’ was dark.
The tall tropical trees were blocking the entire sky with their large leaves, and not a single ray of light could come through the cracks. If it weren’t for the lone glowing water puddle in the dark jungle, I probably wouldn’t have been able to see anything.
In some ways, it may be similar to the park in front of Oseong headquarters, but the atmosphere was different.
‘It’s a mess.’
I felt like my brain was swelled with all the noise and moisture.
“….”
It’s noisy, like a wave that will sweep you away if you lose your mind even a little.
Are there swarms of bugs gathering in my brain right in front of my ears and talking loudly?
The smell of mud and grass mixes with the breath you take in. It didn’t smell good. The smell of dirt resembled a moldy smell, and the smell of grass was sour like poison that it disturbed my mind. The hot and humid air sticks to my skin and even tickles it, making me irritated.
“…Are you okay?”
“Pick that for me.”
“It’s okay. “What about Seo-ah?”
“…Yeah….”
“It’s less okay.”
From Minhong, who calmly asks to pick some fruit from a small tree, to Seoah, who gives a vague answer as if something is uncomfortable. Park Da-hoon, who checked the condition of the two children, hugged them.
‘If it weren’t for the kids, I would have jumped out somehow.’
I wasn’t blaming the children who were only 6 years old. It was just painful that there was nothing Park Da-hoon could do.
My only advantage is that I can run much faster than others, but this was not a situation that could be solved by carrying someone else. No matter how good Park Da-hoon’s physical strength was, he couldn’t carry several people at once.
Seo-ah tugged on the sleeve of Park Da-hoon, who was thinking blankly.
“…why?”
“Are we being disturbed?”
“…no?”
“I’ll stay here quietly.”
Park Da-hoon’s face was strangely distorted.
Are you really telling me to run away and leave the kindergarten students behind?
As Park Da-hoon, a high school student, I couldn’t understand why a 6-year-old child would say things like this, given what he thought about in his daily life.
“…I won’t leave you behind.”
Moreover, Park Da-hoon had committed a crime against these children when he was attacking Eonhak High School. They killed children who could not resist in order to gain new opportunities.
But now I couldn’t do the same thing.
“I will take you. “Know that.”
“…Hi-Hi.”
At Park Da-hoon’s words, Seo-ah smiled with a relieved face, as if she had been waiting for those words. As I looked at Seo-ah in confusion, I heard her mumbling softly.
“Did you bring me too?”
“…what?”
“You didn’t pick it up? So you can’t throw it away?”
“….”
I answered with a sigh.
“I can never throw it away.”
“Do you want to throw it away?”
“no.”
“great.”
What’s good? Something like a brat.
‘He shouldn’t grow up like you.’
I was worried that when I grew up, I would give it all away without realizing it like Lee Jae-heon.
It is said that the environment at a young age has a great influence on a child’s personality. Isn’t it Lee Jae-heon who is taking care of Seo-ah now? Park Da-hoon had never seen a person like Lee Jae-heon.
This time, Minhong spoke to Park Da-hoon, who prayed that the two would not become alike.
“Then can you give me your hand?”
“…?”
“hand?”
What hand?
“Uh…”
Are you asking me to hold your hand?
‘Like what you used to do before?’
Park Da-hoon hesitated and held out his hand.
Choi Min-hong, who held Da-hoon Park’s hand as if curious, kneaded it and then buried his face on top of it. I could feel Minhong’s small eyes rolling across my palm.
In the end, Park Da-hoon, unable to hold back his doubts, asked.
“What are you doing?”
“This is not it.”
“uh?”
“I also have your hands, uncle.”
“….”
“Hand pillow….”
When Minhong said, ‘Give me your hand,’ it sounded like he really wanted to have the severed hand part itself, rather than just asking for his hand, so Park Da-hoon looked at him with a straight face.
“Do you like blood?”
“…? no?”
“Thank goodness.”
It was fortunate that it was impossible to cut off my hand without bleeding.
‘I’m worried about her future in a different way than Seo-ah.’
I just hoped that he wouldn’t grow up like the immature killer who was having a nervous war with my sister over there.

“In our experience.”
Jeong In-ho spoke firmly.
“This park is the safest.”
“It was the mildest flavor, but we didn’t know about it…”
Seo Jang-hwa opened his mouth at Vivian’s rebuttal.
“I can’t believe this place had a mild taste.”
“When I first didn’t know anything about the underworld, I was glad that the place I came to was a park. There is no need to go far right away, and even if you only go to an English high school, your chances of survival are extremely low…” As
Kang Min-ah muttered, Seo Jang-hwa frowned.
As Seo Jang-hwa, who was in reality at the time of the attack on Eonhak High School, it was difficult to imagine. Even when I was in the park, I thought it would be difficult to get lost, but it turned out that there were places even worse than that.
Soon Seo Jang-hwa realized something.
“…No, at that time, did you feel it was more difficult because of that bastard Song In-myeong?”
“Oh, maybe. “Other than him, the park itself wasn’t that difficult.”
“Song In -myung just soaked her hair.”
If it weren’t for Song In-myeong, who occasionally caused strife and casualties, the park itself wouldn’t have been that difficult.
Seo Jang-hwa, who felt a little reluctant about the option of building a shelter and staying in the park, was convinced and agreed with the opinions of other survivors.
“Then a park would definitely be nice. To be honest, just hearing about a place like that makes me dispirited. “A park with water and food is better than a crazy building where you have to follow the rules even to get in and out.”
“Thank you for agreeing…”
Seo Jang-hwa noticed Kang Min-ah’s empty tone and asked.
“…Why am I so listless?”
“No, just…”
Kang Min-ah muttered in a bitter tone and looked into space.
“It was bad timing.”
“Timing… ah.”
“Ah…”
Seo Jang-hwa and Vivian looked at Kang Min-ah and Noh Yeon-seok and nodded.
‘I can almost get a feel for what happened just by looking at it.’
‘If he was that kind of a fanatic, wasn’t he almost on the verge of confessing…’
Even though it was the weekend, Kang Min-ah was in full makeup, wearing high-heeled shoes, a neat dress, and a light blue cardigan. Noh Yeon-seok also had his hair slicked back, which was unusual for him, and he was wearing a neck collar and a V-neck knit. Looking at their well-matched outfits, it wasn’t hard to guess that they were having fun making pink appointments with each other.
In short, while they were enjoying their first date, they ended up in a secret world, and Jung In-ho and Woo Woo-young, who had heard about it in advance, reacted with astonishment like college students.
It was difficult to pretend to know the tearful stories of my co-workers.
“The other side of the world was bad.”
“I’m fine.”
“Yes, the underworld was bad.”
Seo Jang-hwa nodded and concluded the situation.
Anyway, the underworld was bad.
“So, is it true that we are the last of the number of people that can gather in the park right now?”
Jeong In-ho nodded at Seo Jang-hwa’s words as he organized the situation.
“If what Detective Hong Gyeong-jun confirmed is correct, then it is probably true.”
The number of people gathered at the meeting place now was only 7 people: Jung In-ho, Kang Min-ah, Noh Yeon-seok, Woo Woo-young, Yoon Gar-ram, Seo Jang-hwa and Vivian. Thinking back to the crowded times we had at Eonhak High School, we could say that things had become very simple.
Woo Woo-young laughed awkwardly.
“I’m sure there were a lot of people who went to other areas because it was the weekend. Yeonhee said she was alone, but I’m not sure if she’ll be okay…” “She
said she was okay until I got the call, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Yeonhee Kwon also said that she settled in a park with lots of flowers and grass, and that there was food and water nearby. “I learned a lot while working with the manager, so as long as I choose the scope of my activities carefully, I won’t get hurt.”
Jeong In-ho said that with his characteristic sincere smile.
“I’m more worried about the survivors in the aquarium.”
Everyone would know by now, but it was a smile that made me burst inside.
