Chapter 76
76 fury
the tenth ghost story -
Herobrine from Minecraft (9)
With the blue sky and green grass stretching endlessly in dichotomy,.
A red two-story brick house lying in a pile..
It looks the same as the fairytale-like background from before, but it seems to be shaking ominously because something that shouldn't have appeared has appeared..
“···You went to the right place, right? I came back because I was confused about the direction.-”
“There was no hill like this.”
Hayoon gives a clear answer to Gyeongwon’s words..
I also nodded and said.
“Forest too. At that time, where we were, there was a forest nearby that Seona and I wandered through at first, but this place was only a house..”
“Strange... I don't understand.”
Seon-ah trembled at the eerily peaceful house..
“What should I do, manager? I'm going to go in and see
hey?”
I quietly nodded to Deokhoon’s question..
“It's suspicious, but I'll have to check it out. That's why I set out on the road.”
“Huh, there’s nothing I can do about it. Then you can take it.
Deokhoon hands me the hatchet he carries next to him..
This is the item I made earlier when I was exploring with Hayun to find the waterside..
“I think it would be better for you to write it than for me. Maybe it's because I've become an NPC, but swinging a weapon doesn't feel like it's in the game, but feels like swinging it in real life, so it's very difficult for me as I'm fat..”
“···okay. thank you”
I took the hatchet from Deokhoon and stuffed it into my belt..
A situation where you are completely inside the game and everything becomes real..
We can no longer call up menus or quickly combine ingredients to create items..
I can't even use my inventory, so the only thing I can do is stuff the handle of the ax into my waist..
‘But this is my first time touching an ax or something like that..’
Did he still think that I was better at sports than he was?.
The five of us looked down for a moment from the top of the hill..
“Let's go.”
“···huh.”
With me in the lead, they started to head out again..
After circling sideways and going down the hill, I slowly approached the red-walled stone house that quietly radiated its presence..
“After all, it’s the same… … Seona, who was decorating the details of the house, trembles..
Two-story stone house with stairs to the outside.
Construction materials scattered everywhere.
It was exactly the house we built..
But I'm sure this isn't the place..
As we were walking around the house and looking outside, Deokhoon noticed something and called us..
“Hey, it's a pulley. we used to upload things.”
“It's true.”
2A primitive type of pulley using rope and wooden poles used to move materials up and down the floors..
At that time, I was still able to use the game elements as a player, so I placed the items according to the production method and it was made quickly..
Looking at it again from the perspective of an NPC who entered the game, I wonder how they made something like this so simple..
“What happened?……
“There will be a window in the back. Let's take a look inside first..”
We walked to the back of the house.
Even when I snoop through the window and check inside, all I see is the ordinary living room we left in a while ago..
But the fireplace is crackling as if someone just put it on..
“The carpet that Hayun laid down and the fireplace that was used as a brazier... My wealth looks the same too.”
“···What should I do, manager?.”
Gyeongwon secretly asks me.
I sighed..
“There is no choice. Let's go in first..”
After a while, we gathered in front of the door, with me at the head..
I had already checked through the window that no one was there, but the ominous aura emanating from the house itself made me wary..
“ open.”
«huh
Hayun aimed the crossbow inside and I slowly pulled the doorknob..
Squeak-
Wooden door opening with a creaking sound on its hinges.
Kyungwon nodded with a nervous expression..
“Let's go in, manager..”
“···for a moment.”
As I was about to step in, I stopped and looked at the dusty floor at the entrance to the front door..
“It's a footprint.”
Since it is a newly built house, there is dust scattered all over the place from materials piled up..
There were footprints all over it..
Sigh-
We each raised nearby construction materials as weapons, led by me holding a hatchet from my belt..
I slowly stepped into the footsteps and entered the living room..
“no one… There is none……
Crack. crackling.
The only sound is the crackling sound of the wood fire in the fireplace, but as I checked through the window earlier, there is no one here..
thud. thud. thud.
Suddenly, footsteps are heard from the ceiling..
The five of us reflexively raised our heads and looked at the ceiling..
’Layer-·'Chung-·'Chung' ·
“···Let's go up.”
I held the handle of the ax tightly with both hands and quickly headed back to the front door..
“Follow me, quietly..”
« huh ”
The five of us sneak out the front door again and climb the wooden stairs outside..
And I, who was in the lead at the door on the second floor where I heard the footsteps in question, burst in..
“who is this!”
bang-
silence.
there is no one.
“manager, window!”
wide open window.
I quickly ran there and looked out..
an endless plain.
“I think I jumped out the window..”
“Everyone spread out and search!”
I quickly turned my head towards the members and gave instructions..
“There is nothing but plains around here. There is no place to hide! You guys go back down to the first floor and look around the house. Hayun and I will watch from the window on the second floor..”
“Okay, let's hurry.!”
The members, led by Deok-hoon, rush down the stairs again..
Hayun walked over with great strides, opened the window on the other side, and aimed the crossbow..
“Do you see something, Hayoon??”
“no.”
“Here too. It's just a meadow.”
Dadada-
I can hear noises from downstairs, with deputies moving around and searching..
While I was looking at the window, I suddenly heard a rustling sound and turned around to see Suna standing on the stairs with her face sticking out..
“Juna……
“Seonya. Go down and search with the kids..”
“that is……
Suna is hesitant about something.
“Ha, Hayun. Let’s go down and find it together.……
In Ha-yoon looks back with his eyebrows furrowed..
I raised my hands in confusion..
“Seon-ya, come down. Hayoon, if you find something with the crossbow here, you have to shoot it right away..”
“Then Joo, Jun doesn’t need to be here..”
“I can't see all the windows by myself..”
Suna shifts her gaze uneasily..
“I need one more person to watch over me. Come down, come on.”
But in the end, I don't back down and open my mouth again..
“Then I'm here too......
“Phew.”
I closed my eyes and sighed..
“Well, I'll take a look at the remaining window over there. That'll do it ?”
Suna hesitates and approaches the one remaining window..
Seeing that, Hayun lifted her chin slightly and responded coldly..
“Please understand the situation. Don't be needlessly jealous.”
For a moment, Suna was shocked and opened her eyes wide..
Soon, his face slowly turns bright red, and he turns and strides towards Hayun..
“Well, what did you say??”
“why.”
“Well, just now... What did you say?……
Yun Seon-a is shaking.
Clap-
Instead of answering, Hayoon quietly aimed the crossbow at Seon-ah..
“Don't be jealous.”
“this profit……
Suna's hands were shaking and she ran towards me as if she couldn't hold it in any longer..
“you… … Tukan-! A crossbow fired instantly with a light metallic sound..
The arrow flew a short distance and landed squarely in Seon-ah's forehead..
“Wook-”
Seon-a, unable to overcome the inertia of running, slips and rolls with her head tilted back..
I fell down on the floor, twisted hard..
“What, what!”
I was shocked and ran to them both..
“Seo, Seonaya? are you okay?”
“are you okay. Because it's fake.”
“···what?”
Hayun answers calmly, taking out an arrow from her belt..
“The real Suna can't even look me in the eye..”
He reloads the crossbow by inserting an arrow as if nothing had happened, then pulls the string several times to check..
Soon a commotion was heard outside, and the three members came up to the second floor again..
“Manager! I looked around, but there was nothing. I found something here - hehe!”
Gyeong-won stops talking and looks at the body and is startled..
“Wow!”
Seona, who was standing behind him, was also surprised..
“Hey, who is that?……?”
Suna puts both hands to her mouth and opens her eyes wide..
“It's you.”
They all came up with puzzled faces at my answer and checked the body..
“Whoa whoa... It's really Yoon Seon-ah.”
“why are you here.”
“Well, well……
Seon-ah looks embarrassed..
Soon, Deok-hoon taps the blunt object he is holding and interrogates him..
“Oi, please explain quickly. Are you going to say you don’t know when it’s your business?.”
“I don't know... why am i lying here…?”
Seon-ah is flustered and confused..
I cleared my throat to get their attention and explained to them what had just happened..
“···Something in the shape of Suna.”
We came down to the living room on the first floor again..
Sitting quietly on the carpet, basking in the wood fire, lost in thought..
“A house that looks the same... Suna looks the same... And Far World… hmm.”
Gyeongwon was deep in thought and muttered..
“how is it? Is there a good hypothesis that comes to mind??”
“Well, okay.”
The guy who just tilts his head as if nothing has come to mind yet..
When the situation turns this way, they leave the fight from earlier behind and cooperate for the time being..
“Nothing comes to mind, Manager. It seems clear that preventive measures need to be put in place. Also, something could imitate us.-”
“for a moment.”
At that moment, I stood up at the sound of a murmur and made a gesture to be quiet..
“Listen. “What do you hear?” Members look around with nervous expressions.
Inside the living room of a fairytale-like brick house where you can only hear the sound of a wood fire burning..
Soon, I started hearing noises from outside..
[···After all, it's the same.]
[Hey, it's a pulley. we used to upload things.]
[It's true.]
A voice searching for something. At that moment, I felt like lightning flashed in my head and quickly whispered in a sharp voice..
““Guys, hide under the window!” We quickly laid down under the window..
[What happened?…….]
[There will be a window in the back. Let's take a look inside.]
Soon, footsteps are heard, and someone looks into the living room from outside the window and mutters..
With our heads down, all we see is someone's shadow swaying on the floor..
[The carpet that Hayun laid down and the fireplace that was used as a brazier... My wealth is the same.]
Soon someone else walks by pretending to be popular..
[What should I do, Manager?] It’s Gyeongwon’s voice..
We were holding our breath and lowering our posture and looked at Gyeongwon right next to us, but he also just had an expression on his face that said he didn't understand..
[There is no choice. Let's go in first..]
I heard someone speaking in my voice and slowly moving away from the window..
As soon as they left, I crawled to the center of the group and whispered in a low voice..
“It's us. “We’re coming again.” Members nodding their heads nervously.
“Manager, what should I do? Should I escape through the window before they come through the door??”
“no.”
I shook my head..
“As I said before, there is nothing but plains around here. There is no place to hide. They'll be found out soon and there'll be a chase..”
“then?”
“…Welcome here. Whether it's a conversation or something else, the only way to do it is to face it..”
“···okay.”
Members nodding their heads with anxious expressions.
Soon we quickly lined up and waited near the entrance..
