Chapter 77
77 fury
the tenth ghost story -
Herobrine from Minecraft (10)
Crackling- Crackling-
In the living room where you can only hear the sound of burning wood fire.
I am waiting at the front, holding an axe, and Hayun is right behind me, aiming at the door with a crossbow..
And the members held their breath in the back, each holding their blunt weapons tightly..
A few minutes passed in tension, and eventually Gyeongwon came up behind me and asked in a whisper..
“Why isn't it coming in??”
“I don't know. for a moment.”
We waited for a few minutes again..
But I don't even feel the signs of popularity that were being talked about just now..
All I can hear is the sound of a burning wood fire. Finally, I carefully take a step toward the door..
“I'll go out and see. give me cover.”
“be careful.”
I walked slowly to the wooden door, being extremely careful not to make the floor creak..
And slowly, holding the handle, I pushed the door open..
Fortunately, the wooden door opens without a sound thanks to caution..
“ doesn't exist.”
All we see outside is a plain and a small grassy hill where we first found this house..
The sky was a little dark, as if the sun was about to set, and the pastures were still vast..
“No one? But until now, it seemed like it was popular.……
Gyeongwon muttering in a cold sweat.
I nodded to tell them to come out and take a look..
Soon, Hayun walked towards me, aiming the crossbow..
“see……
I also fell asleep and went out the door..
After all, there is no one.
And the moment I turned around and was about to say something.
I ran into five members of the ghost story club who were hiding in a row right behind the open wooden door..
Five people looking at me with their eyes wide open.
Soon Hayun, who was walking out the front door holding a crossbow, noticed my gaze and ran out in one step, twisted her body and aimed her gun at the back of the door..
Clap-
“It's us, we're coming again”
“What should I do, Manager? Should I commit suicide by stabbing myself with the window glass before barging in through the door?”
“No, like I said before, there's only plains around here. There's nowhere to hide. They'll get caught in no time and you'll just be eaten as human flesh.”
“Why isn't it coming in?”
“I don't know, I'll just go out for a moment, give me cover.”
Guys with their eyes wide open and muttering quickly without intonation..
Hayun clenched his teeth and fired the crossbow he was aiming at..
Tukan“‘!
Powok-
Another arrow pierced the neck of In Ha-yoon, who had her eyes wide open..
But there is no movement.
“Manager! What's going on?!”
The members of the department noticed something unusual in the living room and walked out, asking loudly..
“Seon- ah, I told you to go down and search with the kids. Why are you bothering? Hayyun said you should shoot an arrow in the head with a crossbow here.”
“Haha, Yoon, let’s go down and look for it together, don’t act like a fox to Jun here.”
“Please understand the situation. Don't be needlessly jealous. It's okay. It's fake. I know the real person. I'm a bitch and don't even have money to pay for a PC room.”
I also hurriedly raised my ax and took a stance..
At the same time, when Hayun bit her lip and was about to pull out the arrow from her side again, the fake glasses clerk opened his jaw..
“Make sure to think about it, Manager. You take responsibility for how we survive. Use us until we die. Treat us as you please. As a point of ghost stories, buy everything you want alone, eat everything you want, treat us like dogs, and don't say such nonsense as saying, "If I could turn back time, it would be fine."”
“shut up! What are you!”
I swung the ax once in the air menacingly..
“What is it! say!”
Our members come rushing out of the living room..
At the same time, the fakes on the wall all stretched out their right arms forward like machines and bent their left legs..
And in that same posture, they begin to run away in a line, alternating between their right and left feet and jumping around like a robot..
Tukan-!
Next, Hayun's arrow was fired and hit Deokhun's back as he was running away, but it had no effect..
“Boo, boss! Who are all those people?!”
“Get it! run and catch it!”
I hurried to catch up with the members who chased after me, but the speed was incredible..
It is as if the characters in the game were all entering commands at once, mechanically running in perfect harmony with the choreography without any error..
“gasp, gasp.”
“Huh, wow.”
After chasing after us for a while, we eventually collapsed in the middle of the plain, exhausted from the ridiculous speed..
A fake ghost story club that quickly becomes a dot over the horizon and moves away..
“I missed it, gasp, gasp..”
“Okay, let's go back inside... ha… ha……
* * *
“A house just like the one we built. And we look the same……
We returned home and stood in front of the front door.
I suddenly had the idea to check Seon-ah's body on the second floor..
“Guys, before we go in, let’s check the second floor first..”
“why?”
Suna tilts her head.
“Among those who ran away earlier, there was another one, Seon-ah. But Hayun already caught the fake Seon-ah with an arrow when they first searched the house..”
“···Hmm, I see. Let's check it out.”
We climb the wooden stairs nervously.
2When I open the wooden door and go in, I see Seon-ah's body lying down with an arrow still stuck in her head..
“I feel bad……
Suna turns her head when she sees her dead body..
“What does this mean?.”
I quietly looked at the body and asked the staff..
“I already killed him, but the fake one again... There was one more……
“There might not be just one more, but many more..”
Gyeongwon looks nervous and Deokhoon strokes his chin behind him..
Is it a ‘copy’?.”
Deokhoon mutters.
“I don't know what happened... The house and ourselves. It looks like it's being copied..”
“It might be dangerous to go any further here, Manager. Let's go back.”
Kyungwon looked at me with a serious expression and said.
“It's not because I'm scared like before. I'm saying this because realistically it's a pretty dangerous situation..”
“···Yeah, I think so..”
Do you admit to yourself that you panicked and acted like a jerk when you entered Far World?.
But I'm sorry, if I go back now I won't have found anything..
“First, let's go back to the first floor. Why keep talking next to a dead body?.”
« huh ”
We soon came back down to the living room on the first floor, the space where the wood fire was burning..
I took a deep breath and spoke to the members..
“But I'm sorry, my opinion is that we should explore this place some more..”
«hmm
This time, instead of going crazy, Gyeongwon looks quietly and worried..
“Can you tell me the reason??”
“of course.”
I cleared my throat..
“First of all, we haven't discovered or eradicated anything yet. If we come this far and go back, all our efforts will have been in vain..”
Start from the bare ground, explore the world along the edge of the world, and work hard to build a house across the edge.…….
Even though we had some emotional struggles, we ended up coming this far..
If we just keep going like this, there is no gain..
Only empty PC room fees are waiting there..
“It's a shame I worked so hard. There has never been a time when it wasn't a crisis to go back because it was dangerous..”
“but.”
I looked at the expressions of the guys who looked a little burdened..
“But I'm willing to sacrifice myself just to see you guys
I'm not asking you to do it..”
« Wow
“3The world will be destroyed in a year, so I ask you to follow me and fight with me, because everything goes back to you even if you die anyway, right? I think that's terrible too.”
I may have died many times, but for these guys, every moment is their first experience risking their lives..
“None of us should accept such an obligation..”
Even though they did not express it outwardly, the members silently agreed, perhaps because they had been thinking about it deep down..
I nodded as if I understood too..
Because I was the one who had the most trouble with that the first time..
“Instead, I think I would like to give you a more personal motivation..”
“motive? which?”
I nodded..
“Points earned by defeating today's ghost story. I'll write it all for you.”

Guys with surprised faces.
“Even if you convert it into money, it will cost hundreds of thousands of won per person, and this system also has a function that allows you to raise your level. I don't know how it will work, but I think you'll definitely get something out of it..”
“Hoo.”
Deokhoon strokes his chin with an expression of interest..
“The manager's lip reading skills and other things. Does this mean we can also gain such superpowers??”
“…I guess I'll have to try it to find out. I haven't raised your level yet..”
“Cooum.”
Deokhoon nods his head slowly..
Then, the mood of the members slowly began to change..
Everyone looks interested.
“Of course, as I said before, you can receive it in money or items other than leveling up. One point is worth about 10,000 won..”
“Well, it's okay.”
The one who reacted best was Deokhoon..
Hayun wasn't expecting it either, but she folded her arms and nodded as if it was unexpected..
At this point I decided to give them a much better offer..
It is human psychology that if you offer a small reward first and then suddenly give a large reward that you did not expect, the effect will be twice as large as the original expectation..
“And on graduation day, after saving the world, you use your power, whether it be a lottery or something, to give away 1 billion won..”
« Abbae
what.
The mood of thinking, “Did I hear something wrong?”.
The expressions of the members who had just been calculating in hundreds of thousands of won slowly harden..
“Of course, assuming there is a happy ending..”
“···manager.”
Gyeongwon opened his jaw and asked.
“Just kidding?”
“It's real.”
I shrugged..
“What can't be done?.”
Everyone's expressions gradually changed, as if they were slowly understanding the meaning..
“Hey, hey. Are you serious?……!”
“Jun... you really can do it......?”
“oh my god.”
I nodded, looking at the guys who were a little excited..
“You can do it, you can turn back time. Whether it's the lottery, Bitcoin, or stocks, there are many ways..”
“Ahhhhh!”
Deokhoon suddenly became excited and screamed..
“Juenzaaaaaang! I believed it!”
Starting with Deokhoon's thunderous shout, the excited atmosphere gradually increased..
“Actually, I thought about that often, but I couldn't say it because I was afraid it would show too much. I never thought the manager would mention it first..”
“Juna……
Suna, whose eyes shine brightly.
“Tontemo Yatjanaika! Your guy is doing his job!”
He made a gesture to calm down the fussy Deokhoon and calmed down the overheated atmosphere..
“3Years later, three years later. I have no intention of playing the lottery or anything like that right now. Anyway, under current law, minors cannot buy lottery tickets or receive winnings. I got caught under the Youth Protection Act..”
““From what you’re saying, it seems like the manager figured out a lot of things on his own.” I smile and wave my hand at Gyeongwon, who is grinning as if he knows everything..
“How about asking a detective or a teacher, Jun? Then you can buy a lottery ticket right now.……
“no. Although we've been through a lot of different incidents, in the end, we're still people who have only known each other for a little over a month. I can't entrust you with such a large amount of money. And like I said, it's not that I can't do it, it's just that I have no intention of doing it right now..”
“Why don't you want to do it??”
“I don't need money right now.”
I started talking to convince them..
I've already thought about this countless times since my first regression, so it's something that's neatly organized in my head..
