A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 31
EP.31 Quiz Show
"I kind of like it that way."
While drinking iced tea, I continued speaking. hmm. It's sweet.
"Slightly… unbalanced by the contrast between atmosphere and situation? For example, something like this. It's like a fairy tale world. The prince and princess are living with a smile, haha. The two decided to gather together their forest animal friends and hold a banquet.."
"If you listen to this point, it's a very beautiful picture, right? But here is a variation. A handsome prince, a beautiful princess, a brave lion, a cute rabbit, and a laid-back turtle come together. Together... well. Well, it's like smoking together.."
"No, brother, what kind of bizarre thing is that??"
Seo-eun looked at me with a disgusted expression..
No, there's nothing to freak out about....
"I think I know what you're talking about.."
"Subin unni?"
When Seo-eun looked at Subin with a surprised expression, as if she had been betrayed, Subin was embarrassed and waved his hand as if that was not the case..
"No, I mean. I think I know what Mr. Dain wants to say. A slightly cruel fairy tale? You're talking about that feeling.?"
"Well, that's right. It feels similar.."
I nodded and said.
Actually, more accurately, it's more like a drama with a squid game as its motif..
Squid game, marbles game, Dalgona drawing, etc..
Something that is very familiar to us and makes us feel like a child just by hearing it..
The feeling of disparity when such things are used not for fun games, but for survival and death..
If you pull out the dalgona correctly, you will not receive dalgona as a gift, but if you do not pull out the dalgona correctly, you will die horribly. That kind of rule. A game with such rules is so cruel, yet funny and familiar at the same time. It gives a great feeling of disparity..
...Even if I tried to tell this to the two of them, they would be scolded to speak straight and not talk gibberish. Seo-eun directly, and Soobin with his eyes..
And in fact, it's difficult to understand because there are no dramas in this world with the squid game as a motif. As a patriot, I can say that it is very sad that one of the elements of Gukbbong has been reduced..
"So... that's what this terrorist attack is about.?"
"you're right. In anything, the concept of terrorism must be clear. I've written about the dilemma twice, so this time I'll go with the cruel fairy tale concept.."

[THE EGO SHOW]
[Now Live]
altitude 25000 feet.
All communications with the outside world, including phone calls and the Internet, are cut off..
enclosed space in the sky.
This place has about 80 people on board..
It was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard..
No, to be precise, only the sound of people talking has disappeared..
People were just silently listening to the voices coming out of the speakers..
[Welcome to the world’s largest quiz show, The Ego Show Live.!]
[Now, let's start the game.!]
they didn't know.
The voice they heard while eating dinner on the news.
The voice they heard giggling on YouTube.
Is it really this scary?.
It was definitely a voice I heard on TV at least once..
A voice that is a bit frivolous, yet pleasant at the same time, and yet makes people naturally concentrate..
But why does his voice coming out of the speaker right now give everyone a primal fear?.
Only now were they able to look back on what Egostick had done so far..
Two large-scale terrorist attacks.
More than 10 people were killed with their own hands..
Selected by the association as a class A villain who is ‘extremely cruel and has a high possibility of escape’.
Everyone smiled and said mango stick, mango stick, but.
Only when reality hit them did they know.
Why are egotics called villains?.
His words coming from the speaker seemed like he was playing a fun game, like an innocent child..
The contents inside were nothing short of cruel..
[Well, the rules of the game are simple!]
[1th. Never make a sound! The moment anyone makes a sound, one of the three wires attached to the bomb will cut itself! If everything gets cut off... you know.?]
[2th. Do not communicate! Cheating is a crime. A crime. If our communication is discovered in any way... well, I'll just blow it up right away. You can do the quiz show anytime next time..]
The faces of the people on the plane turned pale as they continued to hear the terrifying remarks..
Some people swallowed their saliva, some shed tears, and some closed their eyes and prayed to God..
Either way, the voice continued to flow from the speaker..
[Now, let me explain the main point, number 3..]
At the same time, the display device in front of the seat with a changed screen.
80A black-and-white animation in the style of an American cartoon from the 1960s was played, and text began to appear in English..
[EGO's Funny Non-Sense Quiz]
'nonsense quiz...?'
Egostick's words continued to come out of the speakers, as if answering the questions that came to people's minds..
[The rules are simple! There will be a nonsense quiz with a total of 10 questions, and you just have to answer them correctly! If just one person guesses everything, be quiet. And be safe! I'll let go of the plane. But what if everyone is wrong? pop. A bomb explodes!]
It was a story that seemed so simple to hear..
Answer 10 nonsense quiz questions correctly?
It's like a game that elementary school students can play when they don't have anything else to play with..
A game too childish for adults to play.
But when your life is at stake, it's a different story..
[I do the nonsense quiz myself, starting from number 1! I'll read it to you, and you'll be able to read it on the display in front of you. Where can I send the answer? Just look at the texting app on your phone! I got a text from an unknown number.?]
After he finished speaking, people quickly took out their cell phones, and there was actually a text message..
[THE EGO SHOW The answer is here!]
One text from the first number.
I don't know how he sent a text message on an airplane with no radio signal, but it was definitely there anyway..
Speaker announces again.
[After the question appears, you can write your answer within 3 minutes and send it to us via text message! Wow, 3 minutes! Time for one cup ramen to be fully cooked. It's really long, right? Why, if you pour water into cup ramen and wait 3 minutes, you will have to wait a long time before you can eat it. I gave it a little extra for you guys. haha.]
'What is enough, you crazy guy?!'
People just thought that in their minds, but couldn't say it out loud..
Because there was a promise from Ego Stick that the moment a sound was made, the bomb wire would explode..
[If you get even one question wrong, you’re out! There is no opportunity to try again. If you get the first question wrong, knowing the answers to the remaining nine questions won't mean anything, right? Still, among so many people, there must be at least one person who can answer them all. I believe!]
A rule that seems very unreasonable.
However, they did not have the right to veto.
Before people could come to their senses, cheerful music started coming from the speakers..
With exciting music in the background, a cheerful egotic shout.
[ruler! Well then, let’s get started and start the 1st Ego Show right away! First problem! How many people can fit on the Titanic's lifeboat??]
At the same time, the question appeared on the display in front of the passengers' seats..
[First problem. How many people can fit on the Titanic's lifeboat??]
And below that, the numbers starting to count down in bold red letters..
[3 : 00]
[2 : 59]
[2 : 58]
People hurriedly started typing answers on their mobile phones..
As time passed, Ego Stick's words began to be broadcast again along with cheerful music..
[yes The time limit for the first question has expired. The correct answer is.... 9 people in the lifeboat! It was. Hey, I tried to make it a bit easier and you got almost everything right. After all, Koreans are the people of humor! It's cool.]
[9Those who sent the text message [name] received a text message saying [Correct answer!].
Some people sighed in relief, but some people's faces turned white..
Anyway, Ego Stick's broadcast continued..
[ruler! Now, let’s go straight to the second question! What is the hottest fruit in the world??]....
***
[Hell’s quiz showㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[Wow, if I were there, I would have peed.]
[Ego stick ㄹㅇ He's a villain, but who called him a hero? They all look like they're dead]
[Fact) It’s okay if it’s not just me]
[Wow, how did they install the bomb on the plane? Basically, aren’t they thoroughly inspected for explosives??]
[I don't know either?]
[What is the captain doing?... Will it work if I make an emergency landing??]
[If I do that, I think my ego will start freaking out right away..]
"Chairman of the Association, when the criminal is doing that in the sky, what can we do??"
"we are useless."
The president of the association watched the broadcast with a sad expression and continued..
"Go get some popcorn, Starders.."
Starders threw the popcorn next to him at the president's face..
