Chapter 30 – 30. Officetel 2 With the Lights Off
I waited another day, but no one came out like a lie.
When I went to college, something surprising kept popping up, but I guess I’m unlucky this time.
Once I returned home, I took a deep breath, checked the camera, and went back to the officetel.
Whatever it is, I think it will be refreshing to check this clearly.
I can’t live like this because I’m worried.
I watched for another two days, but there was no sign of anything. I went home again, rested, and came out again.
If it’s like this, I guess I can assume there’s no one inside, right? No matter how scared I am, the one who is more careful than this is Oba.
I entered the first floor of the officetel at dawn.
A silent building without any noise. And darkness.
The sound of my footsteps is so loud that it bothers me to take a single step.
Considering that neither the elevator nor the sensors nor anything else lights up, it seems correct that the electricity in the building was completely turned off.
But why are those emergency exit lights on? Is that a different power source? Or do you use batteries?
Anyway, I’m glad. Without that, it was so dark I almost couldn’t see anything.
Now what should I do?
I’d like to look through every room in this officetel at least once, but it’s impossible to do on my own.
As far as I know, there are 20 households on one floor, but 20 households on the 25th floor means 500 rooms.
When are you going through all of that? . I can’t even control it completely.
There is no need to do that. Because there is the best way.
I went down to the basement.
I don’t know where the transformer is, but if it is, it’s probably underground.
I went down to the 3rd basement floor and found a place where there was a transformer. A high-pressure sign welcoming me and a sign prohibiting entry except for authorized personnel.
Is the door locked? I don’t think so. Fortunately, the door opened just like I wanted.
The squeak of the hinge made my heart pound, but there was no one inside.
That would be natural. Even if I took a break in between, I watched it for 5 days.
When I looked inside, there was nothing that looked particularly unusual, and I could tell right away that it was a transformer.
After carefully examining the inside, I went back outside.
Since it was right in front of the underground parking lot, there were several cars, so I took a look at them all.
Even in this situation, the doors of the cars are all locked.
There might be at least one open one… While thinking this, I looked around and there happened to be a car with the car door open.
A fairly large SUV. This is just fine. The location is good, and the size is spacious.
If this is the place… We can check everyone entering the electrical room. I’m glad I don’t have to break another car’s window for no reason.
Now it’s time for a large-scale provocation.
I don’t know who the guy who turned this officetel into like this is, but if he hasn’t completely left this area, there’s no way he wouldn’t fall for my provocation.
I went to the electrical room and looked at the transformer.
Fortunately, the battleship was not a very difficult structure. This breaker that is down is probably the main breaker.
Because there were ridiculously thick wires connected above it.
Since I’m an engineering student, I didn’t have to worry about getting an electric shock when I turned on the switch, so I turned on the breaker without hesitation.
There was a clicking sound as a heavy switch went up, and the sound of the building waking up was heard.
Buzz buzz buzz
Electricity came on in the electrical room.
When I went out the door, there was a light on in the underground parking lot. Good. Now all I have to do is wait for those who are provoked.
I went to the SUV with the door open earlier and hid in the back seat.
Indeed, when will it come? If you can’t see the officetel, you probably won’t come right away.
It doesn’t matter because I did this with the intention of waiting a few days. Because I am an insomniac.
As I hid comfortably in the back of the car and waited, I remembered a few loopholes.
I didn’t think that if all the electricity in the building that had been turned off suddenly turned on, people other than the people who turned it off might come.
Hmm… Should I have done it during the day? I think this is the only way to attract all the surrounding bastards.
Whatever it is, you probably don’t know that I’m hiding here, and I’m confident in ambushes, so it doesn’t matter… I feel like I made a big deal out of it for no reason.
Whatever it is, please come with no more than three people. Please.
Contrary to my concerns, the underground parking lot was infinitely quiet.
An underground parking lot where no one comes even after time passes.
The entrance is blocked and the stairs leading down to the underground parking lot are blocked, so the only way to get here is from the first floor.
Because of insomnia, I can’t sleep, and I feel dizzy as I stare at the door.
I looked at the clock, and it was already 3 PM. Only about twelve hours have passed?
Did I think wrong? I thought someone would attack, whether it was the guy who turned off all the lights in the officetel or other guys.
Have I been messing around by myself for a few days? Is it right to just go back?
A feeling of skepticism keeps rising in my mind.
I came here with the intention of setting up an ambush for several days, but this is what it looks like after only 12 hours.
It’s clear that I’ve lost my original intention. There’s oil in the boat.
Ignore all the doubts, anxiety, and regrets that come to mind and lie quietly in the car.
Since when did I become someone who thinks about giving up before I even try enough?
Has the sense of desperation gone just because you have some coins in your hand?
That’s what I’m thinking… The moment I’ve been waiting for has come.
The door to the underground parking lot was opened.
My heart, startled, started pounding like crazy. And my little head that secretes thrilling adrenaline and dopamine.
It felt like my eyes were shining brightly as I stared at the door.
And the person coming inside the door.
And. What are they?
The first guy who came in was holding a shield.
A half-transparent shield carried by riot police. It actually had POLICE written on the bottom.
Moreover, the guy who followed him was holding a crossbow. And. Is that a real crossbow?
Are you a tank or a ranged dealer in the lead? Besides, the posture looks reasonable… It’s strangely clumsy. Did you learn it through games?
And the man coming in behind the crossbow was holding nothing. Already three. Is there really more? Please, there are three of us.
Unfortunately, one more person came in. A man looking around with a high bar in his hand.
All four of them are men and wearing what looks like bulletproof vests. What are they doing? I don’t think they are police or soldiers. I just can’t shake the feeling that civilians worked hard at farming.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a gathering of people in their 20s who worked hard at gaming…
They form their own ranks and make hand signals as if to go towards the electric room.
It was so funny that I could only watch. Does that hand signal have any meaning? They seem to think they are moving systematically, but when I look at them, they just look like they are cosplaying as special forces.
Perhaps others think they are amazing, right?
Four people. I’m a little tired.
If there were three of them, they would already be sleeping, but there were four. What should I do with this?
The one who looks the most dangerous among them is the one who came in third and has nothing.
Probably because his skills are good enough, he’s not holding anything. And then the guy with the crossbow.
I don’t know how powerful that thing is, but if it fires properly, I could get hit by a blind arrow and lose my life.
I have to put three of them to sleep… First, I decided to put the third one and the crossbow to sleep, but between the shield and the high bar, who should I put to sleep?
On my own, four people were cautiously heading to the electrical room. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think they are the ones who cut off the electricity for this officetel.
I think people who have electricity will be more familiar with this place.
What should I do with this… Should I go on an adventure? I really want that crossbow.
The shield opened the door to the electrical room and went inside, hiding itself behind the shield.
And the crossbow went in, and so did the bare body. The last remaining Hi Bar takes a quick look around the underground parking lot and then goes inside for the last time.
I quietly opened the car door and went out.
Even though there are only four of them, I think I can catch them if I see their movements.
I hid in the car and waited for them to come out. There’s nothing special inside there anyway.
Wooooow.
All the lights in the underground parking lot went out, and the fans that were whirring noisily turned off.
What? Did you turn off the electricity? So, are those guys the ones who robbed the officetel?
My heart is beating loudly. The difference between when there are three opponents and when there are four is this big.
If there are three people… There is no tension or excitement, just calmness.
Squeak
There was the sound of the electric room door opening, followed by the sound of cautious footsteps and clothes being brushed.
Are you going back out like that? Then… You’re going back to the first floor, right?
Thanks to the green glowing emergency exit sign, four people could be seen heading toward the door leading to the first floor.
And the sound of the door opening, now is your chance. There is no chance other than now.
When I can see them, and they can’t see me, right now!
