Chapter 121 – 121 Wishes (3)
*
It was the weekend, and Seo-ah and I went out alone.
I thought it was something grandiose just because it was a wish, but it feels like a normal date.
Did you say escape the room? I’ve never done it before, so I don’t know what I’m here for.
I can do all of these requests without having to use a wish, but since you said you’d be with me all day.
I might discount other requests later.
“Then would you please sign the consent form?”
“Can I do it here?”
“Yes.. Please wait a moment.”
On the tablet, along with a simple personal information, was a contract stating that he would not tell what was going on here.
“The theme I chose is a horror psychiatric ward theme. Something scary might come out, so you have to be careful.”
There was also a statement that there would be no reimbursement for problems caused by casual surprise or fear of lockdown.
What would cause a big problem to be surprised? If you fall, you will have to worry that the devices will break.
“Siwoo.. Have you tried it..?”
“It’s my first time doing something like this.”
“Really..?”
We signed the contract and were waiting in the waiting area.
I took out my smartwatch when I was told that I couldn’t bring electronic devices with me, but it felt empty.
‘I said it was about an hour, so it’s okay, right?’
Wearing the similar look I bought the other day, Seo Ah was following me and filling out the consent form.
Others might think that Seo-Ah’s expression did not change, but there was something different about that expressionless face.
It seemed like a pleasure because it was my first experience.
Neither Seo-ah nor I had ever had such an ordinary experience, so I was a little interested.
“Have you ever used our store?”
“No, this is the first time.”
“The devices inside are designed to open without much force, so you can’t force it. The lock used in this room is…”
I saw a lot of locks I had never seen before. The lock with English letters was a simple method, and the unusual thing was the direction key lock, but it was not that difficult to use.
“Would you like to try it?”
Seeing the explanation earlier, they just showed it and moved on, but I received a directional lock and roughly manipulated it.
“Yes, you can do that~”
Pretending it was a mistake, he sneakily grabbed my hand, but it went well enough.
“… “
Seo Ah’s planting next to her seems uncomfortable, but she doesn’t seem to have any thoughts about it.
“Then close your eyes, both of you… Put your hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you who is behind you.. If her shoulder is tired, would you like to put your hand on her waist?”
I was in the front and Seo-ah was behind her, but the height difference between them made Seo-ah’s posture look uncomfortable.
“Yes..”
Seo Ah listened to her part-time job and grabbed my waist.
“Then I’ll go to my room~”
With her eyes closed, she moved into the room following the part-timer’s guidance.
“Then, after a while, the music starts playing. Hints are unlimited, but only up to number 4 are recognized as escapes~”
Albasaeng said that and went out the door.
“Then open your eyes and start! Make sure to escape!”
A thump, the sound of the door closing, and the music that seemed to be quite urgent began to play.
When she opened her eyes and checked with Seo-ah, an hour of time was passing on the tablet she had just handed over.
“Okay then…”
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw locks scattered everywhere and equipment that could only be found in hospitals.
“… “
I looked around without speaking. I don’t have any experience like this, so I have no idea what to start with.
“What should I do first?”
“I don’t know..”
Since there was no explanation, I felt at a loss as to what to do first.
Seo Ah was also looking around with a blank expression on her face, as if she was the same as me. Then my eyes met.
“He..”
Even Seo-ah laughed as if the situation was funny. I also found her to be cute, so the corners of her mouth naturally went up.
“Shall we look around?”
“Huh..”
Although she wasted a little time as her eyes were drawn to the useless parts, she found what appeared to be strange papers.
There were hints about the current situation and what to do next so that you can immerse yourself in escaping the room.
“This is an insane asylum and a strange doctor has locked us up… Here we are…”
I muttered as I read what was written on the document. It seems that in order to go to the next room, you just have to arrange the surgical instruments scattered over there.
Perhaps for safety, things like scalpels and scissors had blunt blades, so it didn’t seem like there was any harm.
“Hmm..”
“… “
Neither had any interest in this at all, so I had no idea what to do.
Hints were used from the start.
“What’s this..”
The answer was so absurdly simple. Among the surgical tools, the scalpel was inserted into the designated position, and the door opened with a clang sound.
After that, I used the hint 2 more times as I progressed. I wasted a lot of time almost in the beginning.
“Anyway, I think you’re feeling better now?”
“Yeah…It’s not that difficult…”
It was my first time, so I didn’t know how to proceed, but the problem wasn’t that difficult.
“This… I think I can do it like this..”
Seo-ah, who was lost in the beginning, began to solve the problem quickly.
When I looked for clues, I quickly found the answer.
We talked about our approach, looked for clues, and continued on to the next room.
I heard that she had a horror theme, but Seo-ah wasn’t afraid at all.
The speed at which Seo-ah solved problems was so fast that Seo-ah solved most of them, but I was able to solve problems that she sometimes got lost in.
“Take that… Take it out…”
“Okay, wait a minute…”
__Kiaaaaa!!!
“Oh, noisy”
In the middle, a device popped out to surprise us, but it’s noisy, I don’t know if it’s scary.
“Hi-Hi..”
I was laughing as if that figure I knew was funny.
As she progressed through the room, a narrow space came out. Time was running out, so I had to hurry.
She thought it was childish at first, but as she progressed, she was able to immerse herself in the current situation.
“Ah..Are you okay..?”
“Okay, let’s find it quickly.”
As two people searched in a small space, they had no choice but to touch their bodies.
‘Even though it’s narrow… It’s not like this, right?’
It was to the point where I had the illusion that Seo Ah was intentionally rubbing her body. Or maybe she wasn’t mistaken.
The fact that her ears were slightly red was a feeling that she was doing it on purpose.
The thought of expressing affection like this in a place where other people are watching made me feel strange.
Well, it’s a light act that won’t be a problem even if others see it, but it felt different because it was a different experience.
Rather than searching around to see if Seo-ah was conscious of me, it felt like she was focusing on me.
“You have to stand, what’s there over there?”
“Yes? Ah… Wait a minute…”
Awakened by my voice, Seo-ah rummaged through the drawers and found another document.
“I found something…”
It was a document with clues to solve the next problem along with what appeared to be a monologue of the main character.
I’ve been watching it as it went on, so now I’m used to how it works.
“Ah..”
“Huh?”
“No…It’s nothing…”
I hugged Seo Ah from behind to check the contents of the document. I felt a soft touch with a unique cold feeling.
Perhaps it was because she was completely in contact with her, and I felt a sweet scent from the nape of her Seo-ah’s neck.
Seo Ah-do must have sensed my body, and her body trembled.
It was to the point where I felt like I could hear Seo-ah’s heartbeat.
“Do you think you can solve it with that?”
“Ah.. Yes..”
She was able to escape with a slightly slow reaction.
In the beginning, both of them were a little lost, but they were able to escape quickly, probably because they got used to the method of solving while looking at the hints.
I took her picture and went outside.
Because today is still a long day.

The light is a small LED light.
It was a place full of darkness everywhere, and it was full of humid air as if the ventilation was not good.
The fishy and salty smell stung her nose, and the dark smoke that made it difficult to breathe was wriggling around.
“Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…Fuck…”
The black object with her limbs bound continued to curse.
He was unhappy with everything. Should he be treated like this for what he did wrong?
The torture that continues to be subjected to because it is an experiment has left her half-conscious.
As he went out of his mind, the man’s empty, empty eyes were filled with darkness before he knew it.
Only something very sticky remained, glowing.
“Fuck you.. I’m going to kill you.. Fuck.. Fuck..”
Hong Ryu-seok started to twist his whole body in a situation where his limbs were bound.
He hated everything. He wanted to kill all the members of the Order who tried to kill him, the Hunter Union who allowed him to become like this, and the crazy woman who tortured him.
However, he did not have the strength to get out of here.
As if reacting to Hong Ryu-seok’s emotions, the thick and unpleasant color of Magi began to change to blacker.
At first he wished he would rather die, but now it was different.
It was too unfair to just die. I wanted to take revenge on the world that made me spend such a painful time.
Hong Ryu-seok, who only had evil, was very different from before.
“… ?”
At that time, a black portal began to appear in the air with a very familiar energy.
Contrary to its hideous appearance, as if tearing up space, it was secretive and quiet.
Beyond that, he sees a figure dressed similar to those who first approached him.
“Wow.. I really feel like throwing up.”
At the sound of her woman’s voice, Hong Liu-seok raised his head in silence.
“… “
Ryuseok Hong stared at the person who appeared in front of him without saying anything.
He didn’t struggle or scream, just stared quietly.
On the outside, it looked okay, but on the inside, the demons around it started to fluctuate.
Magi, who grew up eating Hong Ryu-seok’s dark emotions, stung like a sharp blade.
“What is it… But it’s become quite usable?”
“… “
Emotions were fluctuating due to resentment, but Hong Ryu-seok showed patience.
“What’s going on..?”
“Don’t you want revenge?”
The woman speaks in a calm voice, but she smiles as she sees Hong Liu-seok spewing life to the point of stinging her throat.
She had the feeling that with a little trimming she would become a usable human being. Came to retrieve her powers, but decided to change her mind.
“You’re going to use me again… Dogs.”
“Hmm?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Not yet. Can you wait a little longer?”
“I will wait as long as I can get revenge…”
