Chapter 1048 – Surviving the Main Store.
Wei Ying.
The elevator closed and descended.
The faces of the employees looked tired.
They were looking at the system window in front of their eyes, but it was not a normal system window, but a perk of a strong female employee.
They checked the real-time situation by looking at the screen.
“How many floors are left now?”
“Still on the 200th floor…”
“You checked the 100th floor? You did a lot…”
Listening to the powerless conversations, Yun was ten minutes ago. It reminded me of meeting the intangible, a colleague of eight days.
He surprisingly did nothing to them.
What Intangible said to the vigilant employees was, ‘I am only a role that prevents them from escaping. The purpose is not to kill you guys.’
‘Don’t let them run away.’
At that, no one could be outraged or protested.
It was because he had sashimied dozens of monsters that could easily be subdued only if many users clung to them.
After that. Employees were silently engaged in the investigation of the floor.
He came to realize that he could never stand against the forces of eight days.
“It’s dangerous… Wouldn’t eight or so monsters have entered the building by now?”
“I don’t know… Even if that’s the case, we can’t stop investigating the floor.”
A sense of nervousness and urgency.
It is unbelievable misery that it is the headquarters of the user’s strongest force, which was overflowing with leisure just an hour ago.
“…Hey. You.”
“Yes why?”
Yoon spoke to the lively, now lively female employee.
She looked tired, but she still responded.
“The story I heard from the intangible earlier. Do you remember?”
“Of course I remember.”
The intangible told them a piece of information right before they went down the elevator, saying it was a great service.
‘I’ll give you some advice after seeing the pretty sister over there, but the eight-year-old said. There are a total of 18 bangs out of a total of 300 floors, and two of them are super bangs. Don’t get caught there Good luck.’
Yoon asked her to wait a minute and how could she tell if she was a jerk?
‘Ah? I don’t know.’
When an outgoing female employee called him anxiously to ignore him and leave, the intangible reluctantly answered.
‘I really don’t know. Well… But I heard that you can feel it just by looking at it. So if the elevator door opens and the atmosphere on that floor feels dangerous, don’t get off?’
Then, someday, after some time, Yeodere asked if he would die, and Yoon replied, and the intangible was sneering.
‘That’s none of my business. What is it If you feel unfair, do you appeal to Yeodere that I am not wrong? That bastard is a pervert.
Yoon stops her flashback and presses the button on the floor she was going down to cancel it, and she presses the floor she had once finished investigating.
“Uh. Hey. Why is that…”
“Didn’t you get rid of all the monsters on each floor? It’s perfect to talk quietly.”
Until now, the floors where the temples stopped were usually full of monsters of some kind.
Yoondeul was looking for her priestess while eliminating monsters on that floor.
And I felt a sense of incongruity that it was too ‘smooth’.
“Aren’t they monsters that are so strong that our head office users, who are recognized as elite among users, have trouble?”
“It did…”
“But it’s not a joke.”
I did have to pay a little attention though. If the power of the user, it was at a level that could be defeated somehow.
There were absolutely no things that would warn strong people like intangibles or eight days to be bad.
“So what are you going to do? Are you hiding because you’re afraid of a bang?”
“Didn’t I say that you can feel it just by looking at the boom?
Yoon stares at the two employees who seem to be blaming.
“You all felt a sense of incongruity. Don’t look away.”
The staff kept their mouths shut.
As Yoon said, everyone was feeling strange.
In a place full of monsters like this.
If there is even a layer that is extremely dangerous to the extent that it is called a boom.
Is the priestess still alive…?
“Chairman Shin told me to find her priestess. But, as far as I know, the elite of the higher departments are already attached to her priestess.”
“What is it?”
“Why do we need to rescue them?”
If they were monsters of the level that this team and other teams had attacked so far, the priestess would have moved to a safe place long ago.
If even the elites fell on a dangerous floor that they could not handle, there was no reason for low-level employees like Yun to move.
There’s no way they could rescue the priestess with just this number of people.
Perhaps the elites had already suffered and only the priestess survived and committed themselves with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw… In that case. There will be no more loyalty to the headquarters.
“I heard that priestesses have special abilities in the first place.”
I don’t know how she did it, but her head office and her hostile clans targeted her and tried to kidnap or kill her, but they couldn’t even brush her.
She is absolute, if not natural, when it comes to preparing for and avoiding her dangers.
“The priestess doesn’t need help like us.”
“…So what are you going to do?”
Is it because I heard ‘something like that’? The male employee said in a violent tone.
“Don’t get excited. Let’s see the reality. I… I don’t think the president has any intention of saving us.”
Silence passed.
Because that’s what everyone was feeling.
“Now this strange phenomenon is that the dimensional corridor collapsed. Something managed by Department 0 was destroyed, and the managed items were spread all over the floor.”
“However…?”
“Considering the spread of the test subjects, isn’t the concept of each floor too clear…?”
Insect monsters like caterpillars are full, or monsters like monkeys form the forest.
Considering that less than an hour had passed since the collapse of the dimensional corridor. It was definitely strange.
The monsters didn’t create the environment, but it felt like each floor was just connected to the environment already equipped.
“This is hypothetical. Maybe… Could it be that the dimensional corridor collapsed and the space of another place merged with the headquarters? No. Really, what if the things that Department 0 managed were not test subjects, but things like gates leading to other places? Couldn’t they have been just observing, not managing in the first place?”
Those of the main store are excellent ones.
Everyone understood the meaning of Yun’s lengthy story and turned pale.
“You mean… It wasn’t that the dimensional corridor collapsed and temporarily lost control of what the Mystery Department was managing. It was a dangerous place that had no control in the first place…?”
“Okay.”
Perhaps the place managed by Department 0 might have been a place with dangerous quests comparable to that of the Kaiju.
“Now that the main office is halfway collapsed, I don’t think we’ll be able to observe this dangerous and attractive space from now on. Maybe they’re trying to get data by changing their workforce one last time… I wonder.”
In other words. The story of the priestess is an excuse, and the 60 people who gave the order now are experimental subjects to obtain the data of each floor.
The muscular man trembled his body and shouted out in a fit of fuss.
“No matter how much it is, does it make sense to treat elites like us as maruta? How are you going to handle the aftermath?!”
Are we the elite who can’t handle even one person for eight days? Yoon laughed inwardly, but barely answered without showing it.
“Do I need to handle it?”
“What?”
“She was told that her power hidden by her chairman was beyond her imagination. She was convinced by the attitude of the day. Our employees are just her parts to her. It doesn’t matter when she throws them away. “
Real power is different.
Garbage that we can always get rid of, even if we protest. Yoon thought he would be watching that much.
Pushing away the muscular male employee who was about to have a seizure, the lively female employee spoke.
“So? What do you want to do?”
“…I want to do what Suhan said earlier.”
“Let’s put the mysterious creature in the Mystery Department against Yeodee?”
Would that make sense?
“There is no other way for us to survive!!
If you’re going to die anyway, it’s better to try something.
So, shouldn’t Jindeuk discuss how to move before the final assault?
Tying!
The elevator stopped.
103rd floor.
Yoon let out a sigh as she pressed the open button on her.
At that time. A male employee said.
“…Uh. Wait.”
“Why?”
“Something. The number of floor updates has noticeably decreased.”
The perk of a strong female employee is that she can’t share all situations, but she has simple words. I was able to grasp the simple current situation, such as how many floors she had conquered.
The letters were constantly being updated because everyone was enthusiastic…
At the male employee’s words, all the employees confirmed the privileges at once. She made a puzzled face.
[There is a red hat…]
[Watch out for the red hat.]
[Red… Wet…]
“…Little Red Riding Hood?”
“Watch out for Little Red Riding Hood?”
“Milk? What do you mean?”
Not one, but dozens of phrases. ‘Beware of the red hat.’
And now. A high-spirited female employee who used the privilege asked each team how many people were left and what floor they were on.
[Team 1. 3 people]
[Team 2. 1 person]
[Team 3. 5 people]
[Team 5…]
Each team said their surviving numbers, and Yoon and the employees opened their mouths.
“…It’s drastically reduced.”
“Whoa… What happened?”
“Are you here at least eight days?”
Yoon shook her head.
Yeddre is not.
Something to headquarters. There is something else.
[Team 4. What about you?]
4 teams. This is Yoon’s team.
After thinking about it, Yun replied that the nine of them remained.
And.
[Ah. Then it ends there?]
And the perk ‘disappeared.’
“…”
“…”
“…”
It feels bleak and creepy. I get goosebumps.
No one opened their mouths.
After a while, a man opened his mouth.
“Can we just… Stay in the elevator?”
“…”
“That’s why. The other people seem to have died while exploring the floor. I thought it might be safe in the elevator.”
“Yes, yes. If I keep waiting, won’t even eight days pass by…?”
Yoon gritted it.
I hoped that these idiots would realize the reality and work together on a plan to get rid of acne. My heart is broken now because of this.
‘Assholes.’
Yoon, who had endured so far, felt that his mind was spinning out of control in various extreme situations.
I’m trying so hard to survive 이 개새끼들은 자칭 엘리트 주제에 뭘 하는 거지?
Yun jumped up, opened his eyes, and pointed with his finger.
“This write…!”
Reggie. I was trying to say until.
Doo doo doo doo.
A strange noise was heard.
The sound of something running.
It must have been only darkness. Beyond that darkness something red…
“…Close it.”
The lively female employee muttered.
Yoon stood there blankly. The female employee kicked him hard.
“Close it, you asshole!!”
“Kuk!!”
Tak tok tok tok. Yoon presses the close button repeatedly.
What is that in this space where all the monsters must have been subdued?
[Should I give you a present?]
…It’s red.
And he was wearing something like a Santa hat.
But it’s not a hat.
It looks like a hat, but has white eyeballs at the end of a fleshy mass full of blood vessels.
There were a lot of women’s breasts attached to the body, and it was cracked from time to time. She spurted out a liquid she didn’t know was breast milk.
If you look closely, the legs are also wet, and that monster was running while secreting liquid on the floor.
Tooth support.
The floor in contact with the liquid quickly corrodes.
And. More than anything… That hideous aura.
To the point where I’m pretty sure I can never win. Overwhelming strength!
Giggling giggling giggling.
Dozens of mouths appeared on the body, and countless voices rang out.
[Come on!]
[Ruler! Ruler!]
[Let’s play]
[Brother. I’m safe today!!]
Hey hey. Widely.
Fortunately, the door was closed in time.
The moment Yoon was relieved, the female employee pushed him and pressed him to any floor.
“You bastard!! He has enough senses and intelligence to figure out where we are!! What if he’s standing there blankly with the door closed?!”
Woo woo woo. Yun, who was staring blankly at the number of elevators moving between floors, slowly turned his head to the lively female employee.
The eyes were bloodshot and sunken.
It was like a crazy person.
“…Fool?”
“…Yes?”
An immediate atmosphere.
The problem is. There was no one who could dampen this atmosphere now.
Rather blame each other. The atmosphere of irritation intensified.
Reasonable Yun tried to control his emotions somehow, but he grew more and more angry…
‘…Why are you doing this?’
Normally, I’d be annoyed, but the reason I’m so angry is…
‘Performance?’
Suddenly, the elevator was filled with strange smoke.
What does this acting mean?
How. What floor is it coming from?
‘Damn!! The elevator wasn’t safe either…’
Tying!
“?!”
“!!”
The elevator stopped.
The floor where the lively female employee clicked anywhere. 83rd floor.
Hey hey
The door opens.
Ripple ripple.
Water comes in
“Uh?”
“Water…?”
Ripple ripple quirrrr!!
“Huh? Huh?!?!”
“Door! Close the door!!”
But the door opens, but I can’t close it right away.
As the door opened, black water rushed into the elevator.
Yoon desperately pressed the close button.
I instinctively sensed it.
This ominous feeling that the hairs all over the body stand on end.
Intuition that this place is much more dangerous than that… Red Riding Hood.
This is where ‘kwang’ comes in.
The water was already up to my waist.
Then the elevator door starts to close…
Charrrr!!
Suddenly, tentacles emerged from the black water, coiling around her temples and pulling them in.
“Ahh!”
“This!”
Employees who struggled were dragged into the water and cut off their tentacles while panicking.
But the tentacle’s pull was so strong that the elevator was already far away.
No.
The elevator… Crashes into the deep sea.
“Growl…”
How many meters deep is it?
It looks like it will be crushed by the enormous water pressure.
Despite the body of a high-level stranger…!! I can’t stand it!!
In order to get on the elevator again, users desperately used their legs to swim.
The tentacles stretched out again and wrapped themselves around the two.
Two people opened their mouths for help, but no one turned around.
Three like that. Four people. Five…
Soon, Yoon and a lively female employee. And only three muscular male employees remained. The three barely entered the elevator and pressed the close button, clutching their eyes that were about to explode.
Chaaaaagh!
Tentacles cut through the current and stretch out.
The three prepared for the tentacles that had entered the elevator to attack them. The tentacle… Pressed the open button.
“?!?!”
“Growl…!!”
This monster is also highly intelligent!!
It’s a while to struggle in a creepy situation.
Swoop.
Far away
The source of the tentacles… Something that looks like a squid is approaching directly.
It looks like a squid. That thing hanging in the middle… What is that white woman’s face?
It’s so bizarre that he’s laughing.
More than anything. Big.
Over several tens of meters.
Overtly. A monster much taller than one floor of the headquarters.
“Grumbling…”
“Curl…”
“Knock off…”
When the three struggle in fear
Quaang-!!
Something squid and kwaang! Bumped into
A huge… Fish-like thing was biting a squid.
The squid struggled, but the giant fish did nothing. Enemy. I chewed up the squid so easily.
It seemed to easily exceed a hundred meters in size.
Only then did Yoon press the close button again.
And before closing. Gap.
In a mirror-like space far away… The two saw each other.
Famous ranker. 4th place.
The sight of Continental Sword Kanggeomil wrestling with monsters holding chain ropes…
How in the water…? That looks like a dungeon…?
But it wasn’t the time to be thinking about such things.
The elevator was still full of water.
Users soon struggled in pain.
‘Breath…!’
‘I can’t rest…!’
The lung capacity of users is beyond imagination. Breathing was strangely rapid in this water.
It’s like being back in a normal person’s body… A helpless feeling.
“Growl…”
“Koruk…!”
You have to press down on any layer to get the water out.
But. Is it because I ran with all my might to the elevator? My body wasn’t strong enough…
Like this… Drowning…
Tying!
Cheer up.
Chwaaaaa!
As soon as the door was opened, the water drained out.
The three of them haha I gasped and gasped for breath.
[Found~ done~]
To that voice. Hardened
Thud. Thud.
The one who walked into the elevator was the one from before… “Little Red Riding Hood”
“Come on, go to sleep…”
[Haeup]
A red hat clung to him at the same time as the muscular male employee reached out his hand. Creepy soon. A terrible sound is heard. Yoon and the lively female employee ran out of the elevator without saying anything first.
‘What is this?’
It is an interior where everything seems to be made of flesh.
First of all, the two of them were running to get away from the monster…
[Oh? What?]
Hee hee. It’s a sacrifice! Hi-Hi!]
“?!?!”
“Ah, aaaaa!!”
Two from the front. The same monsters as Red Riding Hood appeared earlier.
Yoon tried to stay calm and sensed his surroundings. She was desperate
At least… Dozens.
There are dozens of these mighty monsters.
‘…Calm down. There is a place without monsters…!’
Yoon senses a place where there are no poisonous monsters and runs.
“Go, go together-!!”
The woman with less sensitivity than Yoon hurriedly followed after Yoon.
Yoon said she was annoying.
“Get out!! Don’t follow me!”
“Everyone, shut up!! You instigated us?! Take responsibility and save me!!”
The quarrel between the two was noisy, so it called more monsters.
Suddenly… Dozens of red hats were chasing them.
They were each holding a body part of a head office employee and giggling.
Among them. One head stood out in particular.
The high-spirited female employee from earlier was making an expression of fear.
[You fucker!! Standing there]
[I’ll rape you so it doesn’t hurt!]
[Chuckling giggling]
I think I’m going to lose my mind.
Yoon couldn’t think of anything anymore, and ran towards the place where there were no monsters.
Deep.
Deeper.
And then. Before I knew it, I got out of the space full of flesh and arrived at a dark room.
In a room full of darkness… A huge door decorated with blood-red jewels stood dozens of meters long.
“…Huh-uh… Heh-uh…”
“What, what are you doing here…”
There are no monsters here, but something is dangerous.
I am overwhelmed by the atmosphere alone.
And.
[He came on his own.]
[Offerings.]
“!!”
“?!”
Two monsters followed.
Unlike other red hats, these guys have two ‘hats’.
“What?”
“Sacrifices?”
Right after the two users’ questioning.
Intercepting device…
Door. Open
It’s just creepy. Creepy. I couldn’t move my body with goosebumps.
‘…Ahhh…’
This is what intangible said… ‘Super boom’.
I was so afraid that the two people who decided to fight to the death were on their knees without knowing it.
This feeling… I tasted it once.
I saw it from far away. The pressure she felt when she saw Inris, the demon lord of True Purgatory, right in front of her nose.
When the red door opened, chuaaaaa!! Blood pours out like the sea.
And. Out of the door comes something… Absurdly ominous.
[O king!]
[O king! Sacrifice!]
The red hats bow.
Inside the door came something out of step with the Red Riding Hoods.
It was a giant red hat.
Unlike the other red caps, the head is five times as big. The eyes are ‘magic eyes’…
‘Cut off head’
[Eh?]
[Uh?]
“Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyically”
In blood. The man who walked out with his head grimaced.
“Oh, the smell of blood. Huh?”
Yoon and a lively female employee. And even the two monsters were stunned.
[…King?]
[Wow, waaang?!?!?!?!]
“Huh? Wangwang? What is it? Are you crying cutely?”
The man tossed away the huge red mori’s head, tilted his head, and looked at Yun.
“Why are they like that?”
“…You…”
Yoongi said in a trembling voice.
“Why are you out there…? Eight days…”
