Second ghost story - The smiling woman (4)
···When I came to, I was sitting at my desk..
A classroom illuminated by morning sunlight.
students sitting quietly.
It's school.
‘···school.’
crane.
...School....
I was mesmerized for a moment and then let out a deep breath..
Whoo, whoo.
···I'm alive.
alive anyway.
‘You're back again.’
With that boring entrance ceremony.
It's not the first time.
Indeed.
no, it's a bit weird.
Even the morning and classroom are the same..
But something is subtly different.
What is it... It's something different. what.
···lamp.
It was late in the morning to notice because the sun was bright and it didn't make much difference whether or not I turned on the lights, but the lights were on in the classroom..
It was obviously turned off during the entrance ceremony because there was a power outage..
‘It's now and it's seven?’
I immediately took my phone out of my pocket and checked the date..
[35th of the month, Tuesday. 07：59]
At the same time, the front door of the classroom swings open violently..
“Heh, heh······
It was Suna.
Seon-ah, who barely avoided being late, took a breath and sat down at a nearby empty desk..
I am back this morning.
After a while, my homeroom teacher, a middle-aged balding man, came into the classroom smiling and saying ‘Hohohoho’ and took his seat.
They said they would divide it by drawing..
“Alright everyone. Each person in front of you should come forward and take out this piece of paper..”
The students in the class quietly got up and lined up around the teacher's table..
You can also see Seon-a and Gyeong-won standing awkwardly among the students..
‘This time I'm back this morning.’
What is the standard?.
With that thought in mind, I stood up and stood in line..
s
‘What kind of paper did you pull out earlier? this
Was it??’
When I pulled it out and unfolded it, fortunately it was 26. It was the same number as before..
Now that I'm back, I thought I should just go with the same flow and observe slowly rather than making any changes..
And when I went to the seat written on the number, my partner, Deokhoon, was next to me, breathing heavily and organizing his luggage..
‘Earlier, I said hello first, and when I guessed that he was an otaku through the way he spoke, my level of understanding increased..’
Suddenly, the system window shows the same time
I was wondering if he had gone back, so I opened Deokhoon's status window before saying hello..
pot-
《status window》
Name: Oh Deok-hoon
age : 17
tendency : ???
special abilities : ???
eccentricity : ???
understanding : 15/100
‘Hmm……
Understanding has already increased.
Perhaps this system works beyond rewinding time..
·♦·Well, I already checked that through the statistics in the main menu last night..
“Hello, nice to meet you. Let's get along well.”
“Huh... Nice to meet you……
And after a brief conversation, I asked a question like before..
“Deokhoon, there is a school notice that you received at the entrance ceremony yesterday and then immediately threw away..”
“···uh.”
“I remember there was a strange story written there.?”
Deokhoon took off his earphones and spoke while looking somewhere in the middle of nowhere near me..
“Ah, are you talking about the smiling woman?
“Yes, that's right. I remember that?”
The guy who laughs and laughs.
“If you meet a smiling woman, never act like you know her.……
“You can't pretend to know?”
“Dame.”
“Other than that, I don't remember any words.
uh‘?”
“Zen Zen.”
“Damerang zenzen, what does that mean? It's Japanese?”
Deokhoon flinched and answered..
“…‘It means ‘no way’ and ‘not at all’..”
“I see, thank you.”
Deokhoon put his earphones back on and started engrossed in the anime..
‘'It wasn't a very meaningful word.' The next place we visited was Suna’s place..
The first thing that catches your eye is good education.
Hayun, who gave off the air of a precious daughter of the upper class, was reading a book calmly..
And next to her is poor Seon-ah fidgeting next to her partner whom she has never seen before..
When Suna spots me, she looks happy..
I want to quickly pretend to know, but my face hesitates, perhaps due to my timid personality..
When I saw Suna like that, I felt an unknown feeling of affection..
Is it because we just ran away from death together?.
Or is it because I can now become friends again without any pressure?.
“hi. I almost was late today.”
“My grandmother woke me up late……
“I live with my grandmother?”
« huh ”
“What about your partner? I said hello?”
“yet……
Hayun glances this way and goes back to reading the book..
I said hello.
“Hello, I'm Lee Jun.”
Then, when was Hayoon expressionless?
He immediately smiles and says hello to me as if asking..
“Yes, hi. I'm In Ha-yoon.”
“Do you remember handing out notices yesterday and then collecting them again??”
“huh. why?”
“I heard there was a strange warning there, do you remember??”
“I remember. curious?”
“Uh, I'm curious. can you tell me?”
She then places a thin finger to her lips and makes a thinking gesture..
“Woman smiling strangely at school
If you see one, pretend not to see it and act naturally until it passes by... I think it was.”
“It's so creepy.”
The trend here was that Seon-ah was alienated and went to the canteen to relieve herself..
‘Let's not go to the store.’
Thinking like that, I finished the sentence while looking at Sun-ah this time..
“right? It's creepy?”
Suna was shocked, but then smiled slightly relieved..
“Wow, that's strange.”
And the three of us spent the break simply chatting about what middle school we graduated from..
The next class was English class, and since it was the first class, each person's name was introduced in English and the class passed..
Back to next break.
Instead of going to the store, I went out into the hallway alone and watched the store through the hallway window..
‘That girl, where did she come from??’
After waiting for a moment, something white popped up on the wall that marks the school's boundary line, adjacent to the cafeteria.
I saw it coming out.
A woman with a white face was sticking out on the wall with a big smile on her face..
The smiling woman was standing behind the wall.
The woman climbed onto the roof of the cafeteria adjacent to the wall outside the school, crawled on the roof, and climbed down to the cafeteria entrance..
‘So even though there were a lot of people, he was able to suddenly appear in the middle of the entrance..’
As I was observing in cold sweat, Gyeongwon came next to me and asked me to drink water.
was.
“hi. This is the first time I saw you yesterday and said hello. What are you looking at??”
“Um, uh... Kyungwon..”
As I was embarrassed, Gyeongwon followed my gaze and looked out the window. Then he noticed the woman and frowned..
“···What does this person do??”
“Kyungwon, over there.……
I hesitated for a moment, then decided and spoke..
“Kyungwon, that probably looks like the smiling woman written on the notice yesterday..”
“what?”
Deok- hoon and Hayun thought the warning about being careful of smiling women was strange, but they didn't seem to know anything more than that..
However, Kyungwon was the only one who saw the warning and clearly told me that this was a manual ghost story..
I thought this guy might know something more..
At the same time, students standing near the cafeteria can be heard murmuring..
“What are you surprised?……
“What is it, lady? Don't block the way here, get out of the way..”
“Oh, fuck, road block……
It won't be long before that woman moves..
I asked urgently.
“Gyeongwon, it may be strange, but answer me right away. Manual: How to survive a ghost story‘?”
Kyungwon tilted his head and turned to me..
“Answer me right away, right away. How does the main character survive in a manual ghost story??”
“···hero?”
Very embarrassed look.
“As soon as anything comes to mind!”
“that is… I think I said yesterday that it wasn't a story with a specific main character. There is no ups and downs.”
Suddenly he lowers his gaze as if slightly belittling.
“Do you still not understand? It was a simple concept.”
But I didn't give in and pushed him..
“I understand, so fuck it, how do people who saw that survive? Tell me about it quickly!”
Contrary to high pride, swearing
The guy seems to be a bit embarrassed and flinches as if he is not immune or is under pressure from my threats..
I rolled my eyes for a moment and eventually answered what came to mind..
“Maybe, well… Since it's a manual ghost story, won't you survive if you follow the manual? Basically, it is in the form of a caution or warning statement..”
right | 99
Kyungwon then smiled and looked out the window again..
“You're being unnecessarily serious. Are you really saying that because of that woman? That's just a crazy woman-”
“ No, ah, evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
At that moment, the woman let out a loud scream and threw something she was holding in this direction..
industrial cutter knife.
It flew in a straight line and hit the hallway window..
Clink-
I broke it and it hit Gyeongwon’s forehead in a straight line..
Yoo Wook Ha
I couldn't even scream, I made a 'whoop' sound and my head was thrown back.
Lin, handsome boy.
Even after doing that, I guess I still had the strength of the cutter knife, so I dragged Gyeongwon’s body behind me for a while..
flutter.
In the end, it only stopped when it hit the wall..
I droop my forehead and bow my head..
My friend with high self-esteem who I’ve known for just one day.
optician.
It happened so quickly.
Except for a few students far in the hallway gasping in surprise.
no one has noticed yet.
The location where Gyeongwon fell is at an angle that cannot be seen from outside the window, so even those in the cafeteria don't seem to know what happened..
I can still see students shouting to get out of the way..
I quickly went back into the classroom..
‘…According to the manual? Pretend not to see?’
crazy… Is that something humans can do?.
In front of my eyes, a crazy woman kills people with a big smile, naturally.
to act?
Even if a movie star came, he wouldn't be able to act like that..
‘Fuck you, fuck you……
I don't know.
I'm not the type of hero who steps up and solves difficult problems for no reason..
Anyway, it's just one lady..
Either the police can solve it or the military can solve it, fuck you..
Just when I was about to grab my shoe bag from the locker and run away with the intention of running away, I suddenly saw Seon-ah..
Next to a partner who is not interested in you
Sitting quietly without knowing anything.
I quickly walked to Suna’s seat..
“Seonya.”
“···huh?”
Suna looks back with a happy expression on her face again..
“excuse me······
What should I do?.
I'm thinking of running away for now, but.
I refuse to survive alone like I did in my last life..
If I run away from the school with Seon-ah while that woman is causing trouble in the cafeteria, if I run away to the subway station like last time, then maybe something will work out..
The rest... Let's think about it later.
I was in a panic and thinking about how to get out of this situation..
“Seon-ya, I… Won’t you go for a walk to the playground with me??”
Suna opened her eyes and looked at me..
“Break time will end soon……
“They said the break time has been extended. Due to school circumstances.”
Hearing those words, Hayun sitting next to me glances this way..
I didn't care and just said whatever came out of my mouth..
“20I heard it was extended by several minutes. I guess the class schedule was messed up because it was the day after the entrance ceremony. let's go for a walk.”
“Ah, yes. Then let's do that……
When Suna reluctantly stood up, I hurried out of the classroom with her..
‘Wow!-’
‘Ouch - help me-’
Gradually, screams began to be heard from the store..
“huh? excuse me……
“let's go quickly.”
As Suna passed through the hallway, she tilted her head and tried to look out the window..
When I asked urgently, he hesitated and eventually just followed me..
The back of the main building where we are is located
It is a dot, and the front is a playground..
As expected, it took some time for the commotion that occurred in the cafeteria to go beyond the main building and reach the playground, but the playground still looked peaceful..
The seniors who took advantage of that short time to run out to play soccer and the female students who took a walk with a smile on their faces.
“ this way.”
“ Ugh······
Seona and I joined the walking group and started walking towards the perimeter of the playground..
The goal is the main gate.
I didn't have the time to pay attention because the situation was urgent, but Suna was making an awkward expression, probably because I dragged her out so suddenly..
I'm taking long strides, Seona is squirming.
We walked in silence like that..
Soon we arrived at the front gate.
Fortunately, the front door was open as a truck delivering meal supplies came in..
I saw the security guard stop the lunch car and chat with the driver, talking about the weather towards the driver's seat..
I waited in silence at the basketball court near the main entrance..
Seon-ah also stands still, looking at me..
‘Wow!!’
‘Ugh, ugh.’
Before I knew it, I began to hear low screams coming from the main building..
From the main gate to the main building, it was across the playground to the completely opposite side, and even though it was quite a distance, I started to feel a commotion..
Students who were walking in the playground stopped and put their hands on their foreheads because they wanted to know something.
I looked up at the main building, blocking the sunlight..
“what's going on?”
“Hey, look over there..”
Through the classroom windows on the middle floor, I could see something flying around with a scream and students screaming..
You can occasionally see students tossing and turning through the fluttering curtains..
Soon, several students stuck their heads out the window and shouted towards the playground..
“help! help! Please call the police! police!”
“Please save me! Please save me!”
Some of the students even leaned out of the window to escape, clinging to the railing and walking sideways..
All the students on the playground were muttering loudly..
The security guard standing in front of the main gate and the truck driver leaned out of their cars to see the school building standing there..
“···What is there??”
“Umm”
A male student tried to squeeze out of a classroom window on the middle floor and ride a pipe to the next classroom..
A woman sticks her head out of the window she just came out of, points a finger at him, and laughs maniacally..
“ Cluck, clap, clap, clap.
As he was trying to cross the pipe dangerously, he panicked when he heard laughter right next to him and ended up slipping and falling to the ground..
“Ahhhhh
Powok-
“ Cluck cluck clap clap”
“Wow!!”
“someone fell!”
Students on the playground screaming.
Seona was also looking at the main building as if she was anxious..
“Seonya.”
“huh?”
I grabbed Suna and started talking step by step..
“Seonya, listen carefully. Right now, this crazy person has come into the school and is brandishing a weapon. Let's stay outside the school until the situation is resolved. Because it’s dangerous.”
Suna opened her eyes and looked at me, then reluctantly nodded..
“To do that, you have to go through that main gate without the security guard knowing. Stay quiet and follow me. Okay?”
Nod.
I took Suna with me and went out the main gate, hiding behind the food truck to avoid the guards who were busy watching the commotion in the main building..
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Uhhhh!”
Suddenly, screaming began to be heard from the back playground..
What's going on? Has that woman already come out to the playground?.
After taking a few more steps from the front door, I looked back to understand the situation..
A white lady was running towards me with a big smile, raising a cloud of dust in the playground..
“ I'm going to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As if forcing a videotape to fast-forward, the woman quickly jumped over the food truck, twisting her arms and legs rapidly..
A bright white face with a big smile comes closer to your eyes..
hiss-
‘···Fuck you.’
With my head floating in the air, I burst out laughing as I mercilessly butchered my decapitated body and Seon-ah.
I lost my mind when I saw the woman..
[Restart from checkpoint.]
[Loading…….]
* * *
Grumble-tap.
“Heh, heh······
Seon-ah, who barely managed to avoid being late, takes a breath and tries to sit down at a nearby empty desk..
The classroom is back again.
Even if you encounter it, you will die, and even if you try to run away, you will die..
‘What should I do, fuck.’
Hint given by Gyeongwon, follow the manual Ghostam’s manual..
[If you see a girl smiling strangely in school, pretend not to see her and act naturally until she passes by..]
Acting naturally in front of women with superhuman acting skills.
that's the only way……?
‘Crazy, how do you do something like that?.’
Pretending not to notice doesn't just mean turning your head or closing your eyes..
I have already seen many victims turn their heads and run away when they see a woman, or sometimes tremble and close their eyes before dying..
Pretending not to see really means acting as if you can't see..
He said he acted like nothing was wrong while looking at that woman..
‘I'm going to turn around……
Is that possible??
At least it looks a little less scary..
A bizarre middle-aged woman wearing white powder and laughing while frantically swinging a cutter knife.
Fuck it, you'll be lucky if you don't pee..
‘But for now, I have no choice but to try it.……
You have to meet one-on-one with a smiling woman..
In a situation where there is no one around.
Other people will quickly start whispering and provoking the woman..
Before the woman climbs up the roof of the cafeteria from beyond the wall, the only way is for me to go over the wall first, face the approaching woman one-on-one, and follow the manual..
