“ colon.”
“···It's Gyeongwon..”
“I wasn't sleeping yet?”
“Phew.”
I stopped organizing the map and rubbed my eyes..
And out of habit, I checked the watch on my wrist..
“···It's already 3 am. Jinhee is back?”
“just now
“···What do you think??”
“As the captain predicted, the floor where the light was on in the middle of the fake 63 building was not a survivor but a trap..”
“ also……
“The bodies of the three members who entered first merged together, and even their brains merged together to spit out ominous prophecies.……
“…You handled it. great job.”
I brushed the hair that had fallen from fatigue behind my forehead and then asked:.
“What about Jinhee? Be safe?”
Kyungwon nods his head.
“Be safe.”
“thank you. You worked hard, really..”
“Captain, go in now and close your eyes. I will finish organizing the map..”
“yes please.”
A map of Seoul with the subway route map on the desk highlighted..
For each area, the currently sighted ghost stories, dangerous places to avoid, and the locations of survivor shelters and supplies are organized in detail..
Sometimes the map changes at will and tries to depict a future where everyone is wiped out and there are no survivors..
We are in the process of periodically revising the map and creating multiple copies..
“here. I was comparing it again with the copy centered around Noryangjin Station. You can start from here. I feel like something has changed……
« huh ”
“In particular, this fast food restaurant in front of Sillim Station… The explanation I wrote down seems to have changed, so read it carefully..”
“I get it, I get it. I understand, so go in and sleep. Before I get angry.”
“thank you.”
I got up from my office, rubbed my eyes, and went out into the hallway..
The members who had just completed their exploration took the elevator from the ground, came down to the underground operation base, took off their protective gear with a diamond pattern, and swam.
chatted acidically.
After briefly nodding and saying hello from afar with Jinhee, who was leading them, he headed to the monitor room..
“Captain, aren't you sleeping yet?.”
Deokhoon greets me, sweating and scooping up cup ramen with chopsticks..
“Nothing special?”
“doesn't exist. Except for losing three more crew members..”
“I want to see the body cameras on the crew, the moment right before they died..”
“It's already well recorded. Turn it on
Should I give it to you??”
« huh ”
Deokhoon is pounding on the keyboard while munching on his ramen..
Three of the dozens of surveillance monitors were converted to video from the crew's body cameras..
Two of the three monitors show footage of members entering the fake 63 Building..
However, the other video showed a woman with a red, blood-covered face laughing madly and raising her head to fill the screen..
“Yikes, one video is already contaminated..”
Deokhoon quickly deleted the video of the smiling woman..
Since the resurrection of the Demon King, the world has been slowly becoming contaminated with madness and ghost stories..
Footage from the remaining two functioning body cameras..
The crew wandered around the inside of the fake 63 Building, focusing on their first-person perspective video..
It's hard to even call it a building. The inside is all sticky, as if it's moving around in the stomach of some kind of creature.
full of liquid.
[think. standby.]
In the recorded video, Jinhee's voice was heard leading the crew..
[Following my instructions, the entry team kicks in the door. Three, two, one. approach.]
[Suddenly-]
1Operator's right foot kicking down the sticky door in person perspective.
And as soon as we entered the interior, the video burst into brilliant colors..
Ugh, what, what?!]
[Holy shit!]
Bizarre fluorescent colors mix brilliantly throughout the screen, as if they were colors from outer space..
And suddenly something hits the camera and the screen goes dark..
The camera gradually penetrates the object that was hit and takes close-up pictures of the inside..
Human organs are visible.
“after.”
When I turned my head and couldn't see any more, Deokhoon turned off the video..
“Slurp, slurp.”
Like a guy with a strong stomach, he eats ramen without a problem even after watching this grotesque video..
This is why I appointed this guy as the person in charge of the monitor room..
In this day and age, there is nothing in print, video, pictures, etc. that stays still, so we have to be careful in everything so that our spirit does not collapse..
I turned my head again and looked at one CCTV showing the 63 Building among the many monitors..
There are two large buildings standing there with the ruined city at night in the background..
One is the 63 Building and the other is a fake 63 Building made up of ghost stories..
We're guessing it's more of a living thing than a building..
Above the building, a huge dragon made of human corpses can be seen flying above dark clouds..
“Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to go to sleep now.”
“Slurp, good night..”
I muttered softly as I left the monitor room and headed to the sleeping room..
‘status window.’

That guy once explained it to me
all.
There are crazy people in this world who keep playing games even after seeing the bad ending..
I couldn't believe it at the time.
“···Phew.”
Since the Demon King's resurrection, the text on the status window has become increasingly difficult to read, and most functions are no longer working..
I spent a few years… No, I went to bed wondering how many more days I could last..

“Jun. Jun, Jun!”
“Um, hmm? Well, what is it… What kind of bastard is he?.”
I got up from my desk drooling at the sound of Seon-ah waking me up..
“4Instead of teaching and national history, it’s a job information session… wake up……
“Um, um, um… It was like that.”
I wiped my saliva and checked the time on the status window as a habit..
[2019Friday, March 22,, 10：57]
[Lee Jun - 2nd episode]
[ghost story point : 202]
[causality : 11%]
‘Oops, 3 minutes left..’
I stood up, rubbing my eyes..
After everyone in the class has already left the classroom.
Only Seona and I remained in the quiet classroom..
“Ah, why are you holding a useless job briefing session? I'm planning on making a living off the lottery anyway..”
“let's go quickly……
Suna stamps her feet while complaining to me..
I had no choice but to rub my eyes and head to the auditorium..
Gymnasium on the left side of the main building.
When events or briefings are held like this, it is also used as an auditorium, and when we entered the place, it was packed with all students..
[Quiet! Quietness!]
A scary teacher who was in charge of the upper grade was standing on the podium and constantly yelling at me to be quiet through the microphone..
“Where is our class??”
“excuse me······
As I squeezed my way through the hundreds of students talking frantically and the teachers yelling and walking around, looking for a familiar face, I saw my homeroom teacher leisurely sticking out his stomach in the distance..
“It's my homeroom teacher! Let's go there.”
“huh”
Suna was pushed by the students and followed with a whining expression..
“Manager, you’re here. He was sleeping so soundly that I didn't wake him up and just came..”
“okay. thank you for your concern.”
I passed Gyeongwon, who was showing all his strange consideration, and squeezed into the empty seat next to him..
As I sat with my legs crossed on the uncomfortable folding chair, one of the teachers who was in charge of the moderator stood at the podium..
“From now on, there will be a job information session at Nakseong High School. Come today
Those giving lectures are all people who have worked hard as members of society in their respective fields for over 10 years. Today is a weekday, right? Even though it was a day when students had to work, they took a precious step to Nakseong High School to help students with their careers. So, our students, let's not doze off and focus and listen. Hey, it's on the second floor! Put your cell phone on the second floor! Hey you bastard, one, two, three! You in the third row! Yeah, you man! I just told you not to fall asleep and listen intently, but this bastard-”
I saw the Korean history teacher gasping in surprise and running to the second floor..
I think he was a student in his class..
Zzz
puck
“Ugh！”
I went into the audio options in the status window settings, muted the sound, and was quietly dozing, when Kyungwon suddenly hit me with his elbow..
I looked up in surprise and saw my homeroom teacher glaring at me from afar..
I rub my eyes and look at the podium to see a man who looks scary like a bear holding the microphone and muttering..
‘after. He said he had trouble sleeping last night because he was acting psychotic. Please get some sleep.……
I opened the audio options and turned the sound back to normal..
Then, you slowly hear what the man is saying..
“What's interesting is that in the case of gods who committed suicide by hanging, they discharged semen.……
Then the man who made eye contact with me.
He suddenly winks and continues his explanation..
Was it because of my mood??
I'm sure it wasn't done to me out of hundreds of students.?
Then lunch time.
“Rock, paper, scissors, rock, paper, scissors. Suna won.”
“Seonya, choose quickly.!”
“ Ugh ”
Instead of going back to the main building, we were choosing a lunch menu through a delivery app..
“I want to eat chicken……
“good. what taste?”
“Sprinkled with cheese powder……
The next time is CA time, when clubs can work autonomously..
Instead of going straight to the cafeteria, we plan to order delivery food and eat it in the club room..
“Let's play rock, paper, scissors one more time, with the loser getting food from the first floor..”
“Good.”
Because the school allowed it, I was allowed to order and eat special delivery food during CA time, but that didn't mean I was allowed to eat it at the main school.
It's not like delivery workers can come in and out of the building at will..
1I had to wait near the playground on the floor and get my food..
“Rock, paper, scissors! rock paper scissors!”
i lost.
Seona and Gyeongwon went up to the club room first, giggling, while I stomped my feet on the first floor and waited for the chicken..
‘Did you order the delivery that comes exactly on time by turning on your cell phone in advance during class? They are great brave men..’
Delivery drivers ride motorcycles
Upon entering the building, he handed heavy paper bags containing food to students waiting on the first floor of the main building..
In the distance, you can see the security guard at the entrance looking dissatisfied, pacing the front gate and glaring at the motorcycle..
As expected, older people might find this scene unpleasant..
It's a generation gap.
But what can you do if the school allows it?.
After a while.
“Great value for money Wow Chicken Snow Cheese
I'll give you what you did. Where is the ghost story club??”
“Oh, it's me.!”
Me being handed chicken at the entrance of the main building.
Some of the guys in the strangely named Ghost Story Club looked at me..
Just as I was about to turn around after receiving my food, I ran into Hayoon, who was heading to the cafeteria..
“Juna.”
“Oh, hi.”
Hayun quietly looking at the chicken in my hand.
Without thinking much about it, I ordered it with the three members I used to eat with, but when I thought about it, I realized later that I might feel left out if other club members saw it..
Now, I am not just a student, but a manager leading a club..
“This chicken, that is……
She quietly looks at me.
Why is he blaming me for not inviting him?.
“I'm sorry... It just so happened that.”
“I hate you.”
Hayun poking out her mouth.
Fortunately, the tone seems to be stretching it out on purpose.
all. He didn't look that angry..
“Hey, Hayun... Let's eat chicken together?”
“It's late, Jun..”
Hayun refused in a friendly tone and tried to pass by and go straight to the cafeteria..
“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry……
This is because our club does not yet have a proper contact network..
If there was a group chat room, it would have been okay to post a message asking them to have lunch together in the East Room..
“ah. Hey, wait a minute.!”
Hayoon passed by and tried to go to the cafeteria.
I called him from behind again..
“Hey, can you give me your number??”
“huh‘?”
Hayun looks at me intently..
“number. I think we should also have a group chat room..”
She smiles at me as I hesitantly hold out my cell phone..
“I'm curious about my number?”
“huh. that is……
“If Suna found out, she would hate it..”
For a moment, my heart skipped a beat..
“No, what are you talking about! That's not it
I want to create a group chat room.”
“Uhuhuhu.”
Hayoon smiles teasingly.
“Jun is very interested in me..”
“Hey, that's not it……
“Are you curious about my number? Well, what should I do? I need to think about it..”
She laughs and tilts her head here and there, teasing me..
Even stretching it out while speaking softly and smiling makes me feel like it's not normal..
The moment I say something, the more it feels like it's my excuse..
‘Wait, this composition. Where was it once?……
When was it??
I think I've been teased like this once before..
Like when you wake up from a dream and try to remember the contents, you feel like you can't remember anything..
‘···dream?’
Oh, that's right.
It was in a dream.
[transformation. Jun is a pervert.]
I remembered.
An ecstatic moment in my dream when my consciousness was blown away by Hayun’s breath..
I opened my eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of me..
Hayun smiled and snatched the cell phone from me, then entered her number and handed it back..
“How can you do that, Jun? I'm hurt.”
“Chi, chicken? Sorry, I'm really sorry about that... If we go together now-”
Hayun cut me off, stuck out her mouth and blurted out a word..
“How could you leave a pretty girl like me alone on the rooftop? Jun is disqualified from being a man.”
And then he turned around gracefully and walked away..
I stood there dumbfounded, holding the chicken in one hand and the cell phone with Hayun's number in the other, and only belatedly did I shout out to her back..
‘status window.’
