045 – Corridor Strategy # 5
Yoo Da-hee said.
If you don’t be quiet, ‘that woman’ will come.
“Are you talking about the shaman’s ghost?”
I was now more afraid of Yoo Da-hee than the shaman’s ghost.
I wanted to ask Yoo Da-hee what she did to Yang Joo-hee.
She wondered why Yang Joo-hee, who had gone up to the broadcasting room, disappeared leaving behind only a trace of blood!
I was so curious and scared about it that I was going crazy!
I was going so crazy that it felt like stinging and itchy ants were running around on my skin.
But I couldn’t ask a single question.
Because Yoo Da-hee’s palm was covering my mouth.
Time passed with all five senses operating so slowly that I wondered if time had stopped.
5 Minutes. 10 Minutes.
Actually, I don’t know.
Anyway, after a long time had passed, Yu Da-hee released her mouth.
“I don’t think there are any around. Still, I can’t rest assured. The woman roams freely through the hallways on the first floor. “If she’s in this broadcast room, it’ll only be a matter of time before she gets caught.”
“Who the hell is that woman? Shaman ghost?”
Let’s ask Yoo Da-hee about why this happened.
It could be said that it is information that will be forgotten after death anyway, but there is a what if.
If I can survive this journey, the benefit of that information will be enormous.
“… Shaman is not a ghost. I don’t know the details about that woman. Because she had never really met. But it’s dangerous. If we encounter her, she will definitely die.”
“If she’s talking about her third ghost… What are you? Yoo Da-hee. “What on earth is your identity?”
Yoo Da-hee was like an onion, even if you peel it, the skin keeps coming out.
I was almost crazy with curiosity and wanted an honest answer.
“Yoo Da-hee. You decided to grant my wish. What the hell are you! Is it a person? Are you a ghost? What!”
Even though I was holding a lighter, I couldn’t see Yoo Da-hee’s face clearly because of the darkness.
The uncertain facial features stimulated my fear even more.
What on earth is this?
I was so curious that if I died like this, I wouldn’t be able to sleep because of the injustice.
Soon, Yoo Da-hee grabbed my hand and slowly put it inside her uniform!
“What… What… !”
I have been amazed by the feel of smooth skin ever since I was born.
It felt like my brain was not properly recognizing the current situation and was stuttering.
Earlier, it occurred to me that the structure of the human optic nerve is quite inefficient, so most of the brain focuses on vision.
Because of the darkness, my senses of touch and hearing were clearer than my sense of sight, so the hand that I put into Yoo Da-hee’s school uniform was a kind of tongue, eyes, and nose.
Throb, pound, pound.
Under Dahee Yoo’s clothes, her heart was beating very loudly.
“What do you think? “Do you still think I’m a ghost?”
Doo doo doo doo doo pound -.
A heart that is clearly beating between warm and fuzzy things.
For some reason, his heartbeat was fast enough to be similar to mine, which was experiencing something embarrassing.
My mind is half-fuzzy.
I felt like a melting butterfly in a soft, soft hell.
Wow.
I was so startled that I came to my senses and quickly removed my hand from inside Yoo Da-hee’s clothes.
“Hmm. Yoo Da-hee. It doesn’t change that there’s something you’re hiding from me. You seem to be familiar with the current situation, so I wish you would tell me the truth. Otherwise—.”
“… “What if I don’t?”
If not, what should I do?
Hit me hard?
Suddenly I started thinking about a person named Ha Young-won.
Can I seriously hit a woman?
“If you don’t tell the truth, I will beat you up. “They hit me hard.”
This was almost like a spell, as if to console myself.
Then Yoo Da-hee laughed.
“Lie. Youngwon, you can’t do that. You are a good person “Like the Catcher in the Rye.”
“No! Am I a really bad guy? “It really hits me!”
“Wow!”
“Gotcha!”
I raised my hand and slapped Yoo Da-hee’s cheek with all my force!
It was because I was so surprised by Yoo Da-hee who suddenly shouted.
Good!
The sensation of being wrapped around my palm was so amazing that even I was surprised by this behavior.
I can’t believe I slapped a woman!
It must be thanks to “Strong Heart” That such a bold feat is possible! I was such a manly man now.
“Aye!”
Yoo Da-hee finally collapsed and collapsed, probably because she didn’t really think she was going to get hit by me.
I was embarrassed too, but I was glad that it had already happened.
I even warned him that he might hit me, but it was Yoo Da-hee’s fault for surprising me.
“Quickly tell the truth! “What are you?”
“… For a moment. I was really shocked. I really didn’t know you were going to hit me. Ouch, it hurts.”
“… I can hit you more! So tell me everything you know!”
I really want to live!
I want to find out what killed Yang Joo-hee!
I was almost on the verge of going crazy.
Yoo Da-hee asked in a quiet voice whether he felt my sincerity.
“… Do you know the story about dreams? A girl is studying for her final exam in the classroom. When I thought about it carefully, it was a dream. So I thought, ‘Ah, this is a dream. “I said, ‘I don’t have to study,’ and all my classmates glared at me.”
Yoo Da-hee’s story started suddenly.
It was a format I had heard from Jeongseok before.
“After that, the girl’s dream became more and more vivid and realistic. As if trying not to find out that it was a dream. It gets longer. Become more sophisticated….”
“That… So what.”
“As time passed, the girl came to live in the middle of two worlds, unable to distinguish between a dream and reality. In the end, what is a dream… Which? This place? Or not….”
It was an eerie story.
Is this Yoo Da-hee’s own story?
“Of course this is the dream! So please, let’s go out!”
Sch-.
Yoo Da-hee, who was sitting in her seat, stood up.
And I pointed to the map I was holding tightly in my hand.
“I will mark the location of the statue on the map. But it won’t be easy. Because that woman will be guarding it. When someone touches her idol she starts to move. “She’s already active.”
# # #
Sch-.
Yoo Da-hee marked the map.
1St floor women’s restroom.
“The new items on the first floor are here. I’m sure it’s because I saw it. But there’s a good chance she’s being guarded by that woman. “Don’t let anyone leave this school without permission.”
Fortunately, the women’s restroom on the first floor was very close to this broadcast room.
However, there is a high probability that ‘that woman’ whom Yoo Da-hee warns about is in front of him.
“Eternal. There is only one talisman to escape. “Only one of you or I can go out.”
Yoo Da-hee’s voice felt somehow eerie.
Do we have to have a death match for an escape ticket?
Maybe I should think about it later….
If anything, I, who have better physical ability, can take the amulet from Yoo Da-hee by force.
I asked Yoo Da-hee.
“Dahee. You said you’ve been dreaming of this hallway for some time. “Then have you ever been caught by a ghost or died in this hallway?”
“… No. Not that I remember. “I always escaped from the underground gods.”

Is this a true story?
He was a beginner in the game “Abyss Corridor,” But he seems to have been an expert in the real-life “Nightmare Corridor.”
Now that you think about it, when playing “The Corridor of the Abyss,” Yoo Da-hee said, “It’s fascinating. “This is how the game works.”
At the time, I thought it was simply the impression of a girl who was playing a game for the first time, but when I think about it again, it was an exclamation comparing reality and the game.
Dahee said.
“It was like that that day too. That day too, I found an amulet in the basement. For some reason, there were other people besides me in this hallway that day. Geonho Kim. Joohee Yang. Sojin Jeong. And… you. Ha Young-won.”
I felt like I was out of breath.
Because I knew exactly when the ‘day’ that Dahee Yoo was talking about was.
“I am rather curious. Eternal. “How are you guys dreaming like this?”
We both have questions… Is that what you mean?
I was worried about whether it would be okay to tell Yoo Da-hee about “Nightmare Corridor” And the status window I had.
About “Hero” And “Watcher.”
It occurred to me that I am actually a mafia in a mafia game.
“… I don’t know either. Rather, I also want to know. Dahee, I thought you knew.”
I decided to vaguely explain it.
Then Yoo Da-hee said, “Hmm… “He snorted.
I don’t know if I was adequately convinced.
Anyway.
We headed towards the women’s restroom on the first floor.
A situation where neither the head ghost nor the shaman ghost can be seen nearby.
In some ways, it could be said to be a blessing in disguise.
“Eternal. Are you really going to go into the women’s bathroom?”
Yoo Da-hee asked me.
It’s as if he’s a man and wants to go into the women’s bathroom? It felt like the same joke.
Are you in the mood to joke even in this situation? Or are you just joking because this is the situation?
I entered the women’s bathroom of the old school building with a slightly trembling heart.
Unlike the men’s restroom, the women’s restroom had no urinals and was lined with partitions. It was very difficult to breathe because the smell was worse than expected.
“Are you sure the new statue is here?”
I asked, covering my nose with my hand.
Yoo Da-hee pointed to the fourth column.
“It’s in number four over there. You were lucky. If you see that there are no ghosts. It’s just my guess, but I don’t think the ghosts know where the statue is. So it seems like I can’t protect it.”
Sch-.
I opened the fourth bathroom door.
Then there was something that looked like a really strange statue of a god. While the one in the basement was a semi-virtual statue with Buddhist colors, this one looked like a Western-style statue of the Virgin Mary.
The head was still cut off. Instead, the amulet is firmly attached to the chest.
If you just burn that amulet, you will be able to escape.
But what if Yoo Da-hee suddenly changes and targets the amulet?
It was around the time when Yoo Da-hee started to notice.
I could feel a somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
You could call it an intuition that has crossed the line for a long time, or it could also be expressed as a kind of spiritual ability or sixth sense.
So I turned my head without thinking.
And then I saw ‘it’ standing at the entrance to the women’s restroom.
It was very big.
He looked to be at least 2 meters tall, but he almost crouched down and entered this woman’s bathroom.
She was wearing a bright red dress and her feet were bare.
Her eyes were all white with no black parts, and she was wearing a bright red mask.
“Bah… Red.”
How would a rat feel if it suddenly encountered a snake?
I was clearly feeling that feeling right now.
All nerves and muscles are so stiff that it is difficult to even breathe.
Heart attack.
If it weren’t for the newly acquired trait, 《Strong Heart》, it might have been something like that.
“f*ck you!”
I came to my senses and obtained the amulet.
The woman in the red mask caught Yoo Da-hee. And before she could even think, she opened her mouth so wide that it seemed like Yoo Da-hee came to her senses only then.
“Eternal. “This time, I’m letting you go—.”
Wow!
A mouth so large that you couldn’t even imagine opened wide.
A rumble like a scream from hell could be heard coming from inside.
Jeokjeokjeok-kwajikkwajikkwajik-.
Yoo Da-hee turns into blood and flows down─.
I could only watch as a person disappeared without a trace through the maw of hell.
Yes. I saw.
Because that was the only thing I could do right now.
Thanks to that, I was able to see the clear scar on the woman’s neck and the shape of a butterfly fluttering across her face, so ugly that it made my heart fail.
It was something very familiar to me and a very important clue.
The third ghost whose identity is unknown because all the witnesses are dead.
I will escape alive even after meeting him!
I burned the amulet with the flame of a lighter, holding my trembling hands.
Hwareuk-!
