Sixth Ghost Story - Songs Banned from the College Scholastic Ability Test (11)
A dressing room full of tension and silence..
The leader mustered up the courage first and slowly approached the girl..
“Hey, you know.”
“Sister! Don't go!”
Members holding back from behind.
The leader calmly looked back at her
I told them.
“It's okay, guys. You were with us for a month. It'll be okay.”
Leader slowly approaches a girl standing upside down.
“Hey, you… what is your name?”
“Was it a ghost? Where and how do you go……
“We'll help you. Want to tell me??”
Slurp-
The girl lightly straightens her posture again..
An unnatural movement, as if floating slightly in the air without any weight..
Even as her body rotated, the girl's face remained fixed straight ahead, appearing like a clumsy CG..
“Are you the cause of this incident? Why is it like that??”
The leader who advises again step by step.
The girl ghost stayed still in an upright position, opened her mouth and said something silently..
[“ pho”]
[“ lean“]
『count“]
『s”]
“···Porinces? Yes, we are Porincess. No need to hide it. tell me, yeah?”
[“ ah”]
[“this“]
『rock“]
“···what? huh?”
The girl looks at us again
ghost.
Her appearance is becoming blurry..
The leader urged as if he felt sorry..
“Idol? That's right, I'm an idol, why? huh?”
The girl just stands still with a sad smile.
She becomes more and more transparent like a video fading out..
disappearing.
“hey! I, the leader, am asking this! Tell me, come on!”
With those words, the girl said one last thing.
muttered and disappeared.
It was blurry, but the system read a few letters..
[“ go”]
[“ ”]
[“ ”]
[“ ”]
And the message that appears before my eyes.
[E-Class Ghost Story - The Kite Buried on the Floor
I survived an encounter with the ghost of a monk..]
[The ghost resolved its attachment to the world and ascended to heaven..]
There was no mention of points being earned..
‘ self?’
quiet dressing room.
The girl has completely disappeared, but the members are still staring into space..
In the midst of this, I also quietly got lost in thought..
The message that the ghost story has been solved comes to mind.
I woke up.
Is this the end of the case??
I didn't think that was it..
The message that just occurred to me was about ghosts, not a ghost story about a song..
‘···I see..’
A ghost story that just disappeared.
A trainee girl ghost who let go of her regrets and ascended to heaven.
It was about a ghost story that had been floating around this broadcasting station for some time that the leader mentioned earlier..
-There has been a rumor going around for some time that if you walk alone somewhere around this broadcasting station, you can hear a woman muttering. The lyricist heard it while he was walking around here on business last month.…….
I don't know why, but the ghost himself has let go of his attachment to the world and has already disappeared..
But a song derived from that ghost story, made with words muttered by a ghost, that drives people crazy..
The ghost story about that song still remains..
It seems like there are still a few things left to do in order to unravel the ghost story about a song written about the resentment of a ghost who died unjustly..
I slowly looked around the dressing room..
The four girls of Porincess were looking at each other, as if they were slowly coming to terms with the situation, hoping that someone would give them some explanation..
“Hmm······
They slowly turn around at the sound of me clearing my throat.
Some people had their mouths open in surprise, some had sad expressions, and some had blank expressions because they didn't understand yet..
“Could you please focus? Let me start explaining.”
After confirming that all eyes were gathered, I calmed my voice..
“Not long ago, a woman was murdered by someone and buried in waiting room number 3 of this station..”
“I guess he's probably one of the trainees who hasn't debuted yet. And around that time, a ghost story began to circulate within the broadcasting station..”
“ghost story······
someone muttered.
“Yes, you've probably heard it too. It's a ghost story that says that while walking somewhere in a broadcasting station, you suddenly hear the voice of a woman muttering quietly..”
One by one, we made eye contact..
Everyone is contemplating their memories and focusing on me..
“And the person who actually experienced the ghost story
There was a person. It was Yangban, the lyricist. This is what you all know so far..”
“The lyricist was inspired by the murmurs of a ghost to complete the song's lyrics. Sure enough, your new song became a huge hit..”
“That's natural. In this field, it is a well-established belief that if you see a ghost while working, you will hit the jackpot. Moreover, your new song goes beyond encountering a ghost and even sings sentences spoken by a ghost.
I put it in the refrain of……
When the youngest's hands were shaking, another member next to her held her hands firmly..
“The refrain of that song. If you play it back, a certain sentence will be complete. The sentence is ‘I’m buried under the floor of waiting room number 3.’.”
“Three, oh my god……
The members are shaking their shoulders as if it was something they had no idea about even though they had sung it hundreds of times over the course of a month..
“The girl who died unfairly was constantly announcing waiting room number 3 where she was buried, and that was turned into a song.
As a result, this song became a 'song filled with resentment' of a trainee who was unfairly killed..”
“If you are familiar with the Japanese horror film Ring, you will understand quickly. The 'cursed song' containing the dead girl's resentment was born..”
“That cursed song……
“We've enjoyed those songs ever since……
The members' faces turn white and they look at each other..
I nodded quietly..
“Her resentful murmur. A song that contains that. The addictive melody and the people's enthusiastic response create a tremendous synergy, and the cursed song quickly grows in strength. Not only did it shake the minds of the listeners, but it also brought back the buried soul of the trainee himself..”
“W, soul……
“yes. This is the girl who was with you just now..”
The members looked at each other with dizzy expressions and said a word..
“Well, now that I think about it… That girl didn't eat anything or sleep……
“I thought I knew his name and we were friends, but I don't remember what kind of kid he was.……
“How could I not have known until now? oh my god……
four girls making noise.
“I was possessed, I was delusional... I think it would be better to express it that way. Even those of you who seemed fine at first glance were actually under the control of the cursed song..”
“It can't be……
Astonished girls.
“Well, then is it all over now? The ghost just disappeared.”
The member who stood on her head until the end asked me with an earnest expression..
but i shook my head.
“look at the window.”
Perhaps due to the special purpose of the dressing room, the window is coated black and barely lets in any light..
The youngest looked outside and shook his head with a dark expression.
all.
It was confirmed that the city was still in shambles..
“I saw it in a book written by a shaman.……
Kyungwon, who had just been standing behind him until now, finally turned to the members and supplemented his explanation in a low voice..
“It is said that there are many reasons why ghosts wander around this world, relieve their attachments, ascend to heaven, and become Buddha. Even if it's not necessarily about resolving resentment, anything that can appease it can be an opportunity..”
“soothing?”
An optician nodding his head.
Unlike the usual harsh tone he used to speak to friends of the same age, he explained carefully, using the word 'yo'..
“Shamans say that anything that can be an opportunity can be an object you liked, something you wanted to have, or anything that comforts you. I don't know why, but she was satisfied with something and left.……
“In other words, he achieved Buddhahood because his lingering attachment to something was resolved, but we did not relieve him of resentment. In the first place, the woman he left behind and the song written about his resentment were two separate things.…
Songs are created by people with lyrics transcribed at will.……
“Well, then what does resolving grudges mean? What should I do for you??”
The leader asks while stuttering..
Gyeongwon calmly adjusted his glasses and said.
“Taking revenge on a woman who was wrongfully murdered... Doesn’t that mean we need to catch the culprit? And judging from the lyrics about being buried in waiting room number 3, it seems like the body should also be taken out from there and buried in a sunny place.……
I nodded at what he said..
It's time to finish the explanation and leave..
“Do you understand? I can't believe I'm stuck here waiting for the military. This is nonsense. The military or the police cannot solve the current situation. Come with us to waiting room number 3. that's the only solution.”
“3waiting room……
The leader muttered with a pale expression..
I wonder if she's finally made up her mind
The moment you try to nod the dog.
"Thump · 'Thump · "Thump ·
Someone knocked on the dressing room door.
K | W
Seon-ah was startled and looked beyond the locked door with the cutter raised..
thud. thud. thud.
“Are you there?!”
a man shouted from beyond the door.
“Wow?”
The members tilt their heads as if they recognize the voice..
“Someone?”
I asked quickly and the leader answered.
“This is our manager who was dragged away by broadcasting station officials after causing a disturbance this morning..”
“manager. Hmm……
'Thump · 'Thump · 'thud ·
“Are you there?!”
A man knocking on the door again.
The leader was cautious and slowly approached the door..
And quietly asks the closed door.
“Manager?”
“I'm here to guide you.!”
When she asks a question, the loud answer comes back.
“What are you guiding me to??”
“3I need you to go to the waiting room now.!”
“yes?”
“Your friend is looking for you!”
Members quietly looking at each other.
“It definitely doesn't seem normal yet, so what should I do??”
“What can I do? Let's kick them out. It's like a trap.”
After finishing the discussion, the leader turned to the door and spoke again..
“We're planning to go on our own, so the manager should go somewhere else..”
“Then I'll call someone else.!”
Steps heading somewhere with those words.
“what.”
After a while.
thud. thud. thud.
Someone knocked on the closed dressing room door again..
“Who are you??”
“It's Singer Pyo Yong Day! I'm here to guide you.!”
66 | 99
We were all surprised.
Pyo Yong Day.
This is because he was a top-class singer in Korea, a man called the king of the music industry that no one could surpass in Korea, and a legend praised as the so-called king of singers..
That kind of person is now in front of us.!
“Come on, senior! What kind of guidance??”
The surprising leader of Porincess, Cha Ji Won.
As time goes by, she will also become the top girl group idol, but at the moment, she is just the leader of a new and emerging idol..
He looked clearly embarrassed when he was faced with a great senior from the distant music industry..
“3I was ordered to take you to the waiting room.!”
A loud voice was heard once again from beyond the door..
“3th… waiting room……
Place aside, this person’s ideal
What on earth is that tone of voice?.
He may have been a senior, but the way he spoke to us politely made us feel as if he was dealing with a superior..
“A friend is calling!”
“What should I do??”
The leader looks at us with disapproval.
“There will be no end to this. If you send one person, another one will come.”
“hmm.”
I thought for a moment and said.
“Let's open it and hope it's not a trap. I'm going to waiting room number 3 anyway.
Because I was going to do it.”
The leader nodded cautiously at my suggestion and headed toward the door..
When Suna, who was guarding the door, moved aside, she unlocked the door and slowly turned the doorknob..
Eventually, the door opened and the figure of a man came into view..
Although he is not big in stature, he exudes a huge sense of intimidation as the king of singers..
An unknown aura that emanates from a person who has reached the level of a field..
Although the members of Porincess sensed that he was already out of his mind, they bowed 90 degrees and greeted him..
“hello! This is the girl group Porincess! I really wanted to meet you sometime!”
Members singing together in unison with unified movements and slogans.
They say that in the entertainment industry, there is a lot of discipline in personnel management between seniors and juniors, so I guess they practiced it on a regular basis..
However, the man did not even seem to hear their greeting and shouted again in a louder voice..
“3I was ordered by the person in charge to guide me to the waiting room!! You can come here!”
« 2”
Members tilting their heads and tilting their heads.
Only then were they able to see the empty eyes and turned ankles of the King of Singers, Pyo Yong-il..
waddle.
A man walking backwards with a twisted ankle.
As expected, I was in love with the song..
“3I have been ordered to take you to the waiting room! Can you come this way?
all!”
Singer Pyo Yong-il slowly moved down the hallway as if he was telling us to follow him..
We glanced at each other for a moment while we were in the dressing room, but decided to follow along without any other choice..
Our ghost story club and Porincess moved in a line following King Pyo Yong-il, who came to guide us..
As we turned the corner of the hallway and stood in front of the emergency exit stairs, several people standing on their hands caught a glimpse of us, but surprisingly, they didn't pay much attention and headed in another direction, humming..
“Oh, I'm not touching it.?”
“Hmm.”
I quietly asked Kyungwon behind me..
“Hey, Gyeongwon. How did this happen??”
“for a moment.”
Gyeongwon followed the path, quietly adjusting his glasses as if he could guess something..
As I was going up the stairs, I heard a loud chorus coming from upstairs..
3It was on the 5th floor where the waiting room was located..
The singers waiting there were
I heard that it exploded and no one came down, but I guess they were here singing like a fanatic the whole time..
“This way!”
The king of singers, Pyo Yong-il, stopped at the entrance of the 5th floor and took a pavilion pose with his hands folded politely..
Through the closed emergency door, I could hear singers singing Porincess's new song at the top of their lungs..
Singers singing together as if the building would collapse.
It's beyond the door, but it's ringing so loudly that it makes my ears tingle..
Each person was singing a different section as they pleased, and it was a scene of ridiculous noise that could not even be tolerated as it was a round song..
“Juna……
Suna holds my hand tightly as if she is scared..
The four girls of Porinses also embrace each other and tremble..
“···It'll be okay, probably.”
I made up my mind and opened the emergency door..
Squeak-
For a moment, the loud chorus stopped and
All eyes were focused on us..
Singers and celebrities lined up in a narrow hallway.
There are old people and there are young people.
I saw some famous faces that I had only seen on TV and some that I had never seen before, but what they had in common was that they all wore fancy stage costumes or suits..
And they all have empty eyes and one part of their body, such as an arm or leg, is bent backwards..
The people who were standing so close together with no time to pass suddenly moved.
clear the way.
Crack. Wow.
The people on the wall were pressed down until their bones were crushed, but they stepped on each other's feet and made a path like the parting of the Red Sea..
And the process was surprisingly quiet..
They compressed each other to clear the way, but no one screamed..
Since they were the closest people to the source, it seems they have gone beyond being possessed and have become puppets..
Wow. Crackling.
Eventually there was just enough space for us to pass..
It's like a red carpet leading to an important stage somewhere..
We were anxious and cautiously walked through the crowd and soon reached our destination..
[3waiting room]
The place where hundreds of people made their way in an eerie silence was waiting room number 3..
The seven of us stood in front of the door and held our breath for a moment..
“I see. Is it the mother body?.”
I heard Gyeongwon’s voice muttering behind me..
“Previously, the manager compared this song to an infectious disease. We are being guided by the mother of the virus.”
I'm not sure, but I nodded for now..
“ open.”
I spoke softly and turned the doorknob of waiting room number 3..
Squeak-
waiting room.
Inside, a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair.
sat tied up.
Interior neatly designed in matte black.
A place where the program's cast members can normally wait while adjusting their makeup..
A man sitting tied up in the middle.
“so… I did it, but I……
The man was constantly muttering something..
This person clearly isn't sane either..
When I passed by and looked around, I saw a tile half-cut in the corner of the waiting room.
I saw something.
I slowly moved to the pine tile in the corner..
When I looked inside, I saw a woman's body buried in cement..
It must have originally been buried so tightly that it couldn't be seen, but it looks like someone just dug it up and uncovered it..
It was difficult to recognize her because of the advanced decay, but at first glance, I felt that she was similar to the girl who had been hiding in Porincess just now..
She is the body of a trainee who was unjustly murdered..
I slowly stood up and walked towards the man..
“Debut, they told me to do it, they persuaded me
A man tied to a chair and speaking gibberish.
The way Porincess members look at that man is unusual..
“Is this a familiar face??”
I asked and the leader nodded..
“huh. This is the broadcasting station president..”
“ president······
“Once before when I went to an open audition.
I was there to observe, and I remember him looking at my legs for a sticky look..”
A man who is talking gibberish without even recognizing us right in front of him..
“They said they would let me debut right away with my agency.……
As I listened carefully to what the man said, I was able to roughly understand the context..
“This guy killed it..”
He used his position as the president of a broadcasting station to snoop around at entertainment agencies and auditions..
He tried to satisfy his desire by telling a trainee to debut, but when that didn't work out, he killed him in a fit of rage..
Perhaps where we are now is the scene of the murder.
Due to the nature of the broadcasting station where many eyes were watching, it was difficult to take the body out, so a contractor was called in and the body was buried on the ground..
That was last month.
It was before the entrance ceremony, which was the limit of how far I can go back in time..
Even if I go back, I can't stop it.
“They said they would let me debut… Seduce
west……
I left the gibbering man behind and approached the corpse..
I knelt down and quietly looked at her face..
The man buried it so well that not even a bug was attracted to it..
In my memories of my past life, three years passed without this trainee being found..
“I was told that my friend was calling me, so I followed him..”
“I've got everything ready. Pan-India, you
This buried place.”
A foul odor emanates from the corpse, as if decomposition has begun..
However, at first glance, the woman's slender face line was very beautiful..
If she were alive, she would have been a very beautiful girl. Of course, I already checked it in the dressing room..
He was probably about the same age as me..
“I'm sorry that even if I go back, I won't be able to save you..”
“Do you want me to put that person in? in jail?”
“It's difficult right now. The people who enforce the law are all crazy..”
“It's because you're so good. Dancing and singing. You worked hard.”
“How was it? How does it feel to be the best idol in Korea? Have you lost some of your regrets??”
I stood up again and turned to the man..
“I need proof that you killed this woman..”
The overweight middle-aged man spoke gibberish and rolled his eyes here and there..
“semen. my semen......
“Fuck you!”
The leader eventually couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the man in the face..
“dirty bastard!”
"Umm..."
The leader who beats the man and the Porincess members who passively stop him.
I quietly called out to the youngest girl..
“We need your cell phone number.”
“My, my number.?”
“yes.”
Even though she is embarrassed, she readily teaches me..
I recited the number and said it to Kyungwon before leaving the waiting room..
“We are guarding it well so that no one can touch the body. I have something to do.”
“Are you going to do it now? Turning back time.”
huh
“Then, Manager, I have a favor to ask of you..”
When I asked him with a look, he adjusted his glasses and answered..
“The first cell phone I bought was Clover's AMOLED feature phone. If you tell me that and convince me, maybe we'll make sense..”
“···Should I trust you with that??”
“maybe. I will believe you.”
The guy nodded again..
“Please, manager..”
“okay. i am grateful.”
When I left the waiting room, the singers who were packed in were kneeling..
Seniors in the music industry were bowing to the newly born idol queen..
