Chapter 19 – 19. Night School
Daily life has returned to normal.
I feel like I just had a midsummer night’s dream. Thinking that I had just had a dream that didn’t fit the bill, I felt at ease.
It was my fault for hoping for something sweet in this damn world, this sick world.
I didn’t leave the bunker for about two months.
The only time I went out was to occasionally open the bunker door and sit at the entrance to soak in the sun for an hour or two.
There are plenty of groceries and coins to spare, so you won’t die if you don’t go out.
I wasn’t interested in how the world worked or how many people were dying every day.
My only concern is, what on earth are these guys aiming for that created the world like this? It was something to do.
If there were people in the world who could play pranks like this, they would have been able to destroy them in an instant.
The message I saw on the first day. The message that evaporated people over the age of 70 from the world at once.
If they had that level of power, it wouldn’t be a problem to destroy the world just by changing a few numbers.
These are the guys who prevented new life from being born, killed older humans all at once, and had no hesitation in letting people kill people.
My first conclusion was that they wanted to have fun.
I don’t know how, but it’s like an observational entertainment show that uses that seemingly omniscient and omnipotent ability to look into each one of us and see how ants-like humans will live in this world if we create various situations.
It can be seen as the worst of bad tastes. You bastards are trash.
I don’t know who it is, but it’s natural to feel repulsive toward those bastards.
But the more I thought about it, the more strange it became.
If you just wanted fun, you wouldn’t be able to create a world this boring.
If we want humans to kill and kill each other, we need to put more stringent restrictions on it.
If the conditions are the same as they are now, there will be quite a few people like me who are stuck in a safe place and don’t move.
Are you guys with pervert tastes?
Isn’t it just voyeurism, not the purpose of seeing provocative things?
I don’t know. First, there is too little information.
And I don’t know where I can get more of that information.
I decided to go outside for the first time in two months.
There was no particular reason. I just wanted to go for a walk or something.
I don’t have a craving for sex, I don’t have a lack of food, and I don’t have things I want to see or people to meet.
I was just curious about the world.
And maybe you could accidentally die?
If there are people who created the world this way, there is no way that the world after death will be completely nothing.
Because it’s an afterlife, I think we can create it and have them fight and kill each other there.
In conclusion, the fear or dread of death has disappeared.
Therefore, the formula that going out = risk has been broken.
Rather, I was a little curious about what happens after death.
If you do this and there’s really nothing, you just run after it.
Where should I go?
I don’t want to go to the officetel area.
I don’t want to go to a studio apartment either.
Yeonju, I want to see that saintly prostitute, but I don’t want to.
I don’t want to go to the underground shopping mall or subway station.
Now I want to walk under the moonlight. I don’t want to go underground.
Should we go to the supermarket?
The destination was decided, but it wasn’t anything urgent, so I walked leisurely.
A street with no one.
The lights are on in every house.
The world is ruined, but the world is still bright because water and electricity are running without interruption.
An ironic world where streetlights and neon signs turn on as the sun goes down.
Why were electricity and water saved? Are you saying you don’t want to go back to the Stone Age and see people living in squalor?
A street without any signs of popularity is a bitch.
Without humans, human habitats are deteriorating faster than expected.
As I was walking like that, I saw something falling near the wall.
Bags and scattered items.
Shampoo, toothbrush, stockings, nail clippers… What is this, was this stolen from the living section of a supermarket somewhere?
While I was thinking that, I felt something foreign.
Why is this here? Who left something like this here…
A thought popped into my head.
Someone didn’t leave it here.
I had no choice but to take it with me and leave it here.
If the person carrying it dies and disappears, you have no choice but to leave it behind.
I replayed the situation in my head.
Someone was attacked while carrying these items and ended up leaning against the wall, and the bag he was carrying fell to the floor and the items were scattered around.
The person who receives the attack dies and disappears.
The person who attacked leisurely approaches, takes the coin, and leaves without paying any attention to the dropped items…
Plausible reasoning.
The biggest problem is that the bag is too clean.
There was no dust on the fallen items, and there were no traces of rain or anything.
The story is that it hasn’t been long since it fell.
Feeling a sense of crisis, I hid in the shadows and quietly looked around.
Quiet surroundings without any sign.
Thinking that if someone had been watching me, I would have attacked several times already, I looked for the tallest building nearby.
I saw a water tank on the roof of a five-story villa and quickly climbed up to it.
Fortunately, the rooftop door was open.
Climbing up to a high place is something that should not be done easily because it blocks the escape route, but considering my abilities, this is better.
In any case, if there are three or fewer enemies, I am confident that I can win as soon as I can see.
I slowly looked around to see if anything was moving.
It would be nice to have night vision goggles.
All the nearby areas are residential complexes, so there are only houses.
The only place with an open view is the school. The building that looks like a gymnasium has “High school” Written on it.
And there was something moving toward that high school.
It was a bit far away, and it was night, so I couldn’t see exactly if it was a man or a woman, but it was definitely a person.
A person who runs in a hurry.
And after a while, another person follows that person.
I felt my backbone being stretched.
You can tell just by looking at the way they chase.
The person chasing him probably doesn’t chase him like that just to have a brief conversation with him.
Moreover, I remembered the traces of the shampoo I had just seen.
No matter how much I think about it, it seems related to this.
What should I do with this…
I don’t want to get involved in other people’s business, but I was also curious.
Is it because I’ve been living a dull life for the past two months? I don’t know either.
Even though I know it’s best not to get involved, I’m already heading down the villa towards the school.
Eh, I don’t know. Fuck.
What are you thinking deeply about? Just live the way you want.
School at night is gloomy and filled with mysterious horror.
Anyone who has ever been to school will feel that same feeling, even though the lights are on.
The one being chased and the one being chased carefully take steps in the direction where they disappeared.
Hide as much as possible and move slowly while checking to see if there are other people around.
“@#$@#$@#$@”
A scream was heard from afar, echoing off the walls of the building.
It’s a woman’s scream.
I walked down the brick-paved road behind the school and hid behind a large air conditioner cooler.
I couldn’t hear it very well because of the loud buzzing sound of the air conditioner cooler, but that also helped me hide better.
A man is standing, and a boy is lying on the floor.
And a girl shaking the boy who was lying down next to him and glaring at the man.
When the man extends his hand, something like a whip comes out and hits the girl.
The momentum is so vicious that it looks like the girl will be torn in half at any moment.
However, a pale shield appeared around the girl, blocking her whip.
What. Is he a shield too? Women really like shields.
The shield was so strong that it continued to block other people’s whips.
After attacking for a while, he approached the woman to see if the remaining whip would work.
However, it seems that nothing, including hands and feet, can do anything about the woman’s defense shield.
It’s stronger than you think, right? The shield seems surprisingly good as well. If you look only at defense.
The problem is that it’s useless.
Although the woman was protected by a shield, her expression did not look very good.
He looked nervous. Perhaps it was because of the man lying down next to him.
She is a woman who cannot do this or that and just spreads her defenses and is confused.
And the whip was still standing in front of that woman.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the shield.
In the end, it means you won’t lose. It’s not a skill that can win.
I could see the woman’s expression becoming increasingly confused.
A boy lying next to her was seen coughing blood from his mouth.
A woman who wants to somehow save the boy while wearing a protective shield, but is unable to do anything because of the whipping man standing in front of her.
In the end, the boy’s head fell sideways and disappeared.
“Jungwoo!!!!!!!”
A girl’s sharp scream.
When the boy died, the golden pouch that formed in his place disappeared as if it was being sucked into the girl.
A woman looking at the whipping man with a devastated expression.
And the whipping man who sat openly in front of such a woman.
How long can the shield last? It must last for a while, right? Can I use them in succession? I don’t know.
Anyway, just by looking at the woman’s expression, you can tell that the current situation is not that good.
If there was a way, we would have done it already. We wouldn’t have been staring at each other for minutes like this.
I put my whip to sleep.
A woman is startled when suddenly the whip picks her and falls down.
When he gets up from behind the outdoor unit and goes in front of the woman, he is startled to see another person come out.
Without worrying about that, I picked up a brick nearby and walked in front of the woman.
Long black hair, youthful face, baggy gym clothes.
It’s a pretty face. If you put on proper makeup, you will look prettier.
No matter how you look at his age, he looks younger than 20.
Considering that the gym uniform she is wearing is a school uniform, she is either a high school student or just in her twenties.
I approached the woman who was very wary of me as a new person and placed a brick down in front of the protective shield.
“Do you want revenge?”
A woman who is embarrassed by my question because she doesn’t know what she is talking about.
“This guy killed your friend, right?”
Only then did spark sparkle in the woman’s eyes.
“If you hit this guy’s head with that, you can get revenge right away. It’s not that difficult.”
How do I look in the eyes of this girl?
Will it seem like a devil who suddenly appears and offers sweet temptations?
But the girl is hesitating.
You don’t want to kill people? Or are you wary of me?
“If I feel uncomfortable, I will go. Instead, you must kill this guy. He will wake up in a while. You shouldn’t run away or try to avoid this place? Next time, there might not be anyone like me to help you. Even if you kill him, there will be no corpses or blood left behind. Did you see the boy next to you? So don’t hesitate and hit him with one hit, right?
Looking at the woman’s hesitant face, I thought it was somehow funny.
