The tenth ghost story -

Herobrine from Minecraft (14)

bang-!

［Junana, I don’t have any money, so buy me some chicken.]

Knocking down the front door, fake Seon-ah comes running hard..

“Ugh!”

At first, she swung the ax, but Seon-a slightly changed direction to avoid it and jumped straight at her..

［Why are you asking for money?］

“Eight!”

At that moment, the real Seon-a next to me swung the leg with all her might..

Huh-

Because the distance between them was so small, the tree flew past my hair with a booming sound and hit the fake Seon-ah's face..

Powok-

Crunchy soup

“Ha, ha, Seonya, thank you!”

“It's coming! Here it comes again!”

Soon, another Deokhoon comes walking from outside, wading through the mud..

[Where is Watachi's happiness? Desha aaaat!]

Tukan-!

He was hit in the head by an arrow fired by Hayun, and fell backwards, hitting the back of his head in the mud..

Cheolpuk-

[You guys! Why are you installing it if you can't even study?!]

“When did I say that?!”

Next, Gyeongwon from our side stabbed Gyeongwon, who was about to climb through the window, with a rebar, causing him to fall outside..

tata tatak-

Another Hayoon comes in through the front door during a busy moment. And then someone runs from behind and goes up to the second floor..

Tukan“!

The fake Hayun dodged the arrow fired by Hayun from our side by lightly twisting her head, then turned her head again and smiled wryly..

Clap-

While Hayun is reloading the arrow, an alter ego with black hair flutters and jumps into the center of the living room..

“To Kusokura!”

Boom-

He ducked his head to avoid the poker that Deok-hoon was swinging, and then rushed towards Gyeong-won, who was wrestling with his other self at the window..

Dadada - Cheolpuk!

“Argh! What is this!”

Kyung-won screams when someone clings to him from behind while he is wrestling with his fake self..

“Take it away! Please take it off!”

Soon, Seon-a swung the wooden block and hit Hayun's back, who was clinging to her, and I also ran to help..

The two were entangled and struggling, and it seemed like Gyeongwon would get hurt if I hurriedly swung the ax, so I instead grabbed Hayun by the hair and tried to knock her off..

“away!”

“Argh! Ahhhhh!”

However, she strongly grabbed Gyeongwon's waist from behind with her legs and clawed at the nape of his neck..

wickedness! wickedness! wickedness!

“Argh! Ahhhh-”

“Get out of the way!”

When we hurriedly retreated at the sound of Hayun's shout from our side, an arrow flew out with a cheerful gold sound and lodged itself in the side of the fake's head..

puffing-

dump.

She loses her strength and collapses. And taking advantage of the confusion, the fake optician climbs through the window again..

［I have to hunt down all the people who are worse at studying than me..]

“Shut the fuck up!!”

I hit the arm of the guy who was falling, and the fake fell into the mud screaming..

[Fuck the ghost story club shit.!]

Then, my clone came running from the front door, jumped on me and attacked me, and we rolled around on the floor..

“Such a fucking bastard!”

[이 개새끼!]

Uddangtangtang-

Fortunately, I was able to get the upper hand on the guy after he stopped rolling around, and I immediately punched the fake Lee Jun in the face..

“go away! away!”

Puck - puk-

[Just a moment, just a moment!]

Fake Lee Joon shouting with a nosebleed.

[Gyeongwon! help me!]

“I'm going now, manager.!”

“Don't be fooled! I'm real!”

Gyeongwon is approaching with great strides holding a wooden block..

“know! The manager is real! Because!”

Just swing the wooden block at me..

“I'm fake too!”

puck _

Fortunately, I quickly raised my arm to block it, but I felt tremendous pain in the arm that was hit by the leg..

“Eight!”

Fortunately, Sun-ah immediately throws a swing at the fake glasses shop's back..

The fake one fell over with blood gushing from its nose..

When I looked through the window, I saw that the real Gyeongwon was swinging a rebar and threatening other members who were trying to climb through the window, so he wasn't paying any attention to this area..

“Hehehe, hehehe… Jun. are you okay……?”

[Uh, it's okay.]

“Uh, okay… You bastard!!”

Fake Lee Joon, who answers on my behalf as if it were natural while standing next to me..

Just as the fierce psychological battle to determine what was real and what was fake was about to begin, I quickly picked up an ax from the floor and chopped off the guy's head first..

“You fucking bastard!”

Puuk-

[Cough-]

He collapsed with blood gushing from his neck.

Fake Lee Joon who loses.

“Joo, Juna……?”

“It's a sure win, you son of a bitch. Where are you talking nonsense in front of me?.”

Holding the hatchet, I took a deep breath and wiped my sweat..

My constant appearance of being mean but active.

Suna must have been relieved that it was real, so she nodded and quickly ran to help the other members..

[Oooi- I am the manager.-]

When the monster with my face on Deok-hoon's huge body waddled in, Gyeong-won and Seon-ah stunned it with blunt weapons..

［Junana, please give me a warranty.

puffing-

［I won’t cause you any inconvenience, so give me a guarantee.］

Next, Hayun's arrows hit the head of Yun Seon-ah, who was crawling on all six feet..

“Heo Eok, Heo Eok, In Ha-yoon is white-haired.……

“Kyungwon, the nape of your neck is okay.?”

“It's okay, manager... I just scratched it with my fingernails..”

The skin on his skin turns bright red and drops of blood appear on his bony neck..

It certainly didn't look like a deep wound, but it looked like it hurt a lot..

“Here we come again! also!”

“Jun, stay behind me.!”

The members hastily prepare themselves for the wave coming again, and Seona stands in my way..

I urgently gave instructions, thinking that things could not go on like this..

“2floor! Let's go to the second floor! It's difficult because there are two entrances from here! If you go to the second floor, you only need to block one door.!”

“Ugh! But they must have already taken over the second floor.!”

The guys who had taken advantage of the rush earlier to run up to the second floor one by one..

I don't know why, but after going to the second floor, I still haven't felt anything..

“Damn it, I can't help it! It's late, but let's do it and secure the second floor.!”

“i get it!”

Next, our members rush out the front door..

Clap, Clap, Clap.

“Wow!!”

As she was about to climb the stairs through the mud, Seon-ah screamed and looked up to see Deok-hoon, who was lying down, holding her ankle..

[Oh my gosh.]

“Yikes!”

I drove the ax into the guy's head with all my might, like chopping firewood, and only then did Oh Deok-hoon let go..

“Heo, heo, heo, what, what… I thought you were dead.”

“It's a zombie, manager! When you die, you turn into a zombie again.!”

“Holy shit.”

Until the end of the night, monsters that clone us will be created endlessly..

Even in the game system, corpses turn into zombies, so you have to kill them twice..

Can I survive here?.

“Go up! Let's go up first!”

“Heo, heo, heo.”

pouring rain.

We hurriedly climb the stairs.

［Rich, rich, rich.］

Another fake comes running towards us from below, splashing mud..

“Ugh!”

Tukan-!

Hayoon's arrow flies once again at the guy climbing the stairs to catch up with us..

puffing-

However, as I was shooting in the dark rain with limited visibility, this time it ended up in my shoulder..

[Argh... police, call the police.]

“shut up!”

An optician pushes his own alter ego, who is staggering up the stairs, by forcefully stabbing him with a rebar..

[Ah... I'm going to sue you...] The fake optician was rolling down the stairs, and his neck must have been broken, so he ended up with his face stuck in the mud..

“quickly, quickly!”

“gasp, gasp.”

Shoot aaaaaaa-

Coo goong, boom.

Falling storm, flashing lightning.

We climb the stairs in one go and open the wooden door on the second floor..

Kkeik-tang!

“Go in! Go in!”

“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

The second floor is dark because there is no fireplace..

We quickly went in and closed the door..

“gasp, gasp.”

“Whoo, whoo.”

We take a breath and calm down.

［cucumber! Where has everyone gone?! I heard you bought bread!］

［Jun... Don't abandon me... Juna

……

A voice desperately searching for us can be heard from below..

“Hehehe, hehehe… But is it quiet here? Some people didn't go up to the second floor earlier.?”

“Well, I don’t know… It's dark and I can't see anything……

Coogung- Coogungung-

Suddenly, lightning struck outside, and a flash of light revealed the inside of the room..

Coogung- Coogungung-

In the corner of the room, the bodies of the five of us were mixed up, and a strange creature was staring at us with bated breath..

flashing-

We stayed silent and looked at the monster without saying anything..

Soggy. Muddy.

A monster made up of several pieces of flesh mixed together crawled this way, dragging its heavy body..

Crying - Crying-

The sound of thunder flashes again.

Among the five faces, I see the mouth of the face that looks like me open..

[hi guys.]

[I know what this space means?]

Soggy. Soggy.

Eyes that have already adapted to the darkness.

Now I could make out the silhouette of the terrible monster even without the flash of lightning..

[Ah, can I explain that? Because it's my role.]

Among the lumps of flesh, Gyeongwon’s glasses sparkle..

[Okay, Gyeongwon. Please explain.]

［This space, Manager. Needless to say, beyond the end of the world, it's 'Far World'.］

［Oh, oh, I know that much.］

Five faces chatting among themselves while making a fuss..

［A space where only random variables created through procedural level creation, beyond the control of the developer, run wild. Isn’t it hell that copies everything?.］

［Hehehe. That's not all, listen.］

Kyungwon smiles and raises his glasses..

［This game wasn't made just for the purpose of selling it to people. Behind it all, there is a conspiracy about Clover Corporation's social experiment..]

[really? Just kidding?]

[Hehehe, manager… A grand conspiracy of multinational corporations that transcend national boundaries? That's already a cliche. No wonder it's so cliché.]

[Yeah, I see.…….]

My face nods as if I agree with Kyungwon’s words..

[Everyone knows that a few years ago, a famous Korean baduk player played against Clover Corporation’s artificial intelligence and lost, right?] [Of course. It's a very famous fact. The news was crazy too.]

[What does it mean for a large company that has to hide its source to its core to disclose its technology so openly, Manager? Such advanced technology. Someone could steal it. In fact, there was an artificial intelligence boom after that..]

[Umm, well? I've never thought about the way of thinking of large corporations.……』

[The truth is, such technology has already been perfected 10 years ago..]

[10years ago……?]

My face in slime that surprises me.

［okay. 10 years ago.］

The face of the optician hanging from the flesh grins..

［Clover Corporation was so unrivaled that some even said that it was developing technology by torturing aliens. Of course, the new products that are being released to the world are technologies that have already been perfected a long time ago..］

［But if that technology is perfected, you can sell it quickly and make money! why do you do that?］

［Even if you don't sell it in a hurry, there will be no shortage. It is already an unrivaled No. 1 company to the point where there is no second-in-command. If the world develops too suddenly, it can cause confusion, so we are slowly unraveling technology..]

Three, oh my god.]

My face with a surprised expression and Suna’s face with a puzzled expression.

[Jun... it's so difficult.......]

[Kyung-won, I don’t think Seon-a understands. Could you explain it a little easier??]

[Oh, I'm sorry. But if you didn't understand what I just said, you can just skip it. The important thing starts now.] Gyeongwon smiles while touching his glasses..

[This game is a simulation world that recreates a virtual universe using advanced artificial intelligence. However, modern computer specifications could not handle it, so the specifications were compromised by using a six-sided cube as the minimum unit..]

[A virtual universe.]

[Hundreds of millions of players around the world are running simulations and providing research data on behalf of Clover Corporation..]

[Ah, anyway, it goes back to a regular computer.?]

[This is possible because highly advanced AI processes the calculations for you. The fact that the graphics are rotten is a bonus.]

[···but. You can't see it in graphics in 2019.]

[But there was a problem. I wonder if this virtual universe has an gravitational force that is created by itself, and the minds of the players are drawn into the game..]

The squishy creatures stood in the center of the room and continued talking among themselves..

[10A year ago, a researcher was first taken from the development stage. His name is Herobrine.]

[I see… the first person to be taken away…….]

[The developers quickly set about researching what the problem was, and soon discovered that the attraction to the human mind came from beyond the edges of the game's world. Matter generates gravity simply by existing, and this world also generates attractive force simply by existing..]

[.·.That's where we are now.]

[Programmers recoded the world map to define a safe space within the game that can be controlled, and installed a transparent wall to prevent anyone from going beyond it. After that, the mind-sucking problem disappeared, and now it's just a ghost story that spreads around the world like a rumor..]

At those words, Deokhoon, who was listening next to me, frowned and complained..

[Oio/)], the problem hasn’t gone away! Aren’t we stuck in a game like this now?!]

[That's exactly what I said before. The reality is that hackers have hacked the game's security and even unlocked 'things that shouldn't have been unlocked'..]

The optician in slime leisurely raises his glasses and continues his explanation..

[A wall beyond the world barely blocked by top-notch programmers called aliens. Third-rate hackers shamelessly modified the coding to improve security, and ended up touching parts that shouldn't have been touched..]

[It's the illegal version we're playing.…….]

[that's right. The hackers, who realized they had touched something wrong, hastily recoded the transparent wall to block the end of the world, but it was literally a wall built by third-rate people without any know-how. The flow of gravity from beyond the end of the world was completely unblocked..]

[In that state, I just released the file on the Internet.…….]

[yes.]

[They are total trolls..]

Kyung-won smiles with satisfaction when it seems like the members are following his explanation well..

[So here's the problem. Herobrine was initially trapped in the game. What happened to that person??]

[Uhm, well?]

The worried faces of members.

［I couldn't escape.?］

［Correct answer.］

The lump of flesh twitches and tries to clap or something..

［Of course, if you end the game in a normal place, the mind quickly returns to its original owner. There are no particular side effects. The problem is where you terminate the connection and how long you were in the game..］

［place and time.］

［As I said, Herobrine, he is a researcher in the prime of development. At that point, the wall at the end of the world had not yet been built. As I wandered around, I ended up in the wrong place..]

[It means that they were in an unusual place like us. Then the time is?]

Hayoon's still face answered my question instead..

[Isn’t this referring to time passing differently from reality??]

[Yes, exactly. A day in the game is 20 minutes in real life. After Herobrine was taken in, all the scientists were mobilized to help, but unfortunately, it took several months to solve the problem.] [It only took a few months.……』

［Approximately 20 years of time here.］

［Three, oh my god……』

The members who are glued to the flesh look at each other's faces as if they are horrified..

［He had already been killed by monsters in the game a long time ago, and his mind and personality were constantly duplicated and divided within the program, so even the smallest piece of his heart was divided and absorbed here..］

［It's terrible……』

［This is the result.］

The lump of flesh that had been shrinking until now gradually opened up..

Then it expanded to almost twice its size and the optician's face almost reached the ceiling..

Five faces put their lips together and make a sound.

［There is no such thing as reason anymore. After dividing, duplicating, and then combining again, and repeating this infinitely, all that remains is a jumbled personality and an incomprehensible monster..］

［After infinite repetition, all that remains is a jumbled personality and an incomprehensible monster..］

［Infinite repetition, jumbled personality］

［It's all mixed up and I can't understand it］

［Jumbled Jumbled Jumbled Jumbled.］

［Juna…….］

The faces that had been concentrating on their own conversations finally looked at us..

［Jun... Come here and let us become one.…….］

Suna's face quietly whispering to me.

［Don't let anyone take us away... … .] And slowly crawl towards us

coming.

Daldaldaldaldaldal.

‘Fuck, why aren't you answering the phone?.’

Jinhee's old motorcycle, which she bought used, stopped in front of the PC room, making a weak idling sound..

Jinhee lifts the windshield of her black-tinted motorcycle helmet and angrily ends the call she was making to Lee Joon..

‘I need to go in and smoke just one cigarette..’

I park roughly near the entrance, take out a lighter from the front pocket of my rider jacket, and light it..

“Phew.”

In front of the PC room building in an alley in the neighborhood where it has already become evening.

The cigarette smoke exhaled by Jinhee mixes with the neon sign and spreads through various lights..
