Chapter 462

Episode 462

‘Crazy.’

Homma couldn’t breathe properly and waited for the game to finish installing.

Originally, it was a national rule for modern people to surf the web on KakaoTalk or SNS on their smartphones for a while while installing the app, but it was simply not the mind.

‘When and how did you make something like this?’ There was no time for questioning or analysis. My heart was pounding like tension with just excitement and overwhelming anticipation.

and after a while

[Installation complete.]

-Execute ( )

She checked the box without hesitation.

Then the screen goes black and the logo passes by.

[Ruin Factory Area]

-Stars Orbit

And the title comes up as Testa’s logo, which has been transformed to remind people of corporations or industrial accidents, descends from the top.

[Roll the Dice]

~please enter the code

The softly flowing main melody of this title song is slightly dreary and remixed in a modern way.

A dark wooden floor, a board game board, and dice are projected behind it.

It was perfect quality.

“Wow.”

Is this serious?

Homma felt joy almost bewildered, but at the same time she felt a little bit worried.

‘But I don’t know much about the game... .’

At best, I thought it would be for fan service, but now that it’s like this, I’m a bit hesitant about whether I can enjoy it properly.

She didn’t know much about the unwritten rules of the game, and she didn’t know much about the parts that needed to be controlled. < 127 Section > was also a mobile game, so I enjoyed it roughly.

And there are people who hate games, so I thought that I would secretly like or dislike it.

‘Mmm.’

Of course, the accumulated anticipation overcame everything. No time to hesitate!

“let’s go!”

She bravely pressed ‘New game’!

Then the letters disappeared as if sucked in and the dice rolled... .

short loading.

and... The screen brightened.

[2025. 06. 01.]

[PM 07:03]

-Yoohoo!

A sports car speeding down the road at sunset filled the computer screen.

“... ??”

What’s this.

Even people in sports cars are new to each other.

It was a man and a woman wearing sunglasses, but the man’s side was never like Testa.

It’s a game character, how can you be sure... .

‘Is it live action?’

Because it wasn’t graphics!

-♩♪♬♬~ ♪♪♬~

Sports cars running to the exciting music are connected like a scene from a movie.

It was a moment where she could have misunderstood that a defective product was shipped incorrectly, but she already knew that it was not.

‘this... It’s a pose.’

The song playing in the sports car was Testa’s previous new song, ‘Pose’. A light dance song suitable for driving flowed like BGM.

‘This is the Testa app.’

So she decided to wait a while.

The sports car in the screen continues to speed along the road in the mountains reddened by the setting sun.

And then, an oddity appeared.

the road is blocked

“... ?”

Huge barricades of alternating yellow and black and flashing emergency lights were located in the middle of the road.

– What?

the music fades

Then, someone approached the stopped sports car.

He is a tall, tall man.

-Wait a minute, sir.

“omg.”

It was Sejin Lee!

Lee Se-jin, dressed in a police uniform and well-dressed, smiled and tilted her head towards her sports car.

A woman in the driver’s seat waggled her arms rudely.

-Why are you like that?

-Ah, the road in front of here is closed to traffic. I’m sorry, but please turn around and use the main road.

-Where does the main road come from? I have to go back for another 30 minutes, but let’s hear my reasons.

-I want to do that too, but it’s hard to explain the details because I’m in the middle of public affairs. I beg you.

Sejin Lee smiled softly and kindly.

‘handsome... .’

Her hair, with her forehead exposed, suited her perfectly.

However, the woman sitting in the driver’s seat seemed to be the type who was really faithful to her lover.

Instead, it is meaningfully caught on camera as she continues to scan Lee Se-jin with strange eyes.

-... ... .

– Sir, could you give me back the car?

A strange tension rose.

The BGM has changed.

‘What is it?’

– The police teacher is very young.

-Ah, the order is coming this time. haha.

-is it so?

-yes. It may be inconvenient, but please.

However, Sejin Lee smiled until the end and slightly lowered his head.

However, the tense BGM and strangely loud footsteps did not end.

thump thump.

“... ... .”

And after Lee Se-jin enters the guard post under the red sunset light.

Booung.

The sports car turned around and started to leave the spot.

‘phew.’

Strangely, it was when Homma let out a sigh of relief.

The quiet man in the passenger seat broke the silence and opened his mouth.

-uh? Isn’t this a big road?

‘uh??’

-Uh, going back here will lead you right back to the temple, honey.

-what?

-I’m going to the road blocked by that bastard.

yes??

And as if representing Homma’s feelings, the man in the passenger seat was also shocked.

-Why are you going in there? You said the police stopped you.

-police?

The driver snorted.

-Have you ever seen a cop talking sarcastically at a speeding sports car?

-what?

– And look. That’s blocking the road.

As the man in the passenger seat turned his head, the view on the screen also returned.

barricade.

It was slowly caught on the screen once more, and Lee Se-jin’s smiling lower officials crossed each other like a flashback.

The voice of a woman in the driver’s seat echoes.

-That barricade is a police kid. it’s cheap

-... !!

-I don’t think that bastard is a cop.

-ah... .

-Look at how young he is. where is youtuber Vijay? Isn’t that guy joking around? hide the camera

That was the moment.

The lower part of the sports car’s field of view turned slightly translucent, and then something floated up on the screen.

▶[It could be. -Relieved]

▶[How can you be sure of that? -Guardian]

It was a choice!

‘yes. Because it’s a game, there are choices.’

It’s a bit unfamiliar, but I thought I’d just pick something that appealed to me.

however... .

[00:10:00]

There is a time limit!

’10 seconds?!’

She was taken aback, but soon, for some reason, she chose to go down.

– How can you be sure of that?

It was a feeling that came from a movie cliché.

Isn’t it natural that if you go into a blocked area, a bad incident will start unconditionally.

‘Sejin told me not to come!’

Then don’t go in! why go! Does it matter if you’re a real cop?

‘Even an idol should listen!’

No, I don’t know why he chooses the position of these people who are not in the position of Testa in the first place... Hurry up and choose under the pressure of the time limit.

– Oh don’t believe me.

The man behind the wheel is mad!

[The other party is displeased.]

“Ahhh.”

The more critical the error, the smaller the number required.

‘Whoa!’

-Oh~ Today’s coffee.

She narrowly avoids Lee Se-jin’s eyes and barely hides in a cabinet to catch her breath.

And soon after... You will also see Choi Ae’s face.

-hmm.

“Aww!”

Moondae was in the lab!

The problem was something like an injection... It was that he was in a cold sweat and looked very distressed.

By the way, I ask you not to remove the syringe yourself!

-... no please

▶[Break the syringe. -Sympathy]

▶[I just let it go. -Unsteady mind]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Homma, who was moving Kim Rae-bin, was shocked, but eventually turned upward with trembling hands.

‘I’m sorry, Moondae... !’

But if I don’t break the syringe here... ! In a movie cliché, Mundae dies!

And sure enough, when the syringe was broken, the door was immediately stabilized.

She lost her mind and looked at the close-up shot of Mundae, who fell down with a relaxed face, with teary eyes, and pressed capture.

Fortunately, Kim Rae-bin lifted the bag and moved it to a safe place.

‘thank god... .’

The overinvolved Homma wiped away the cold sweat.

Anyway, after that, there was a dizzying chase with Ryu Chung-woo, who fought with Cha Yu-jin inside the iron gate to find out information.

And soon, the thieves finish their reasoning that this is a strange place where the test subjects are confined and the information about the ‘jewel’ they obtained is part of the experiment subject fishing.

– We need to escape.

So they correct the route and soon find an official escape route thanks to Cha Yoo-jin’s aggro... .

Here was the final difficulty.

-If you go around this outskirts... .

-Shh.

‘Hey Ahyeon!’

thump thump.

Suppression baton gloves military boots chin. eye.

Walking from the other side of the corridor was directed with the same mise-en-scène as in the movie.

Sun Ah-hyun only appeared in a cool and calm feeling throughout this movie or game.

It also had an unexpected charm because it matched so well.

‘It’s also a face... .’

Homma was silent.

And I got a feel for it anyway.

‘In that music video... When Bae Se-jin escaped, there was a hint that Ah-hyun was the same one who suppressed it!’

It was clear that this was the hint. With her heart pounding, she repeatedly hit ‘hide’ from the options unconditionally.

-... ... .

Surprisingly, it seemed like the right choice, but the dice rolled.

[Standard value: 6]

60% chance!

Homema gritted it.

swarm... .

‘please please... !’

The eyes pointed out by the slowly stopped dice... .

[2]

“Okay!!”

Seon Ah-hyun slowly disappeared across the hallway.

That’s how I passed the turn safely.

‘phew.’

-let’s go.

She sighed and watched Bae Se-jin approach the huge iron gate.

It was the scene I saw in the music video.

Put your key on the lock pad and now enter your code... .

‘uh?’

Come to think of it... .

[______]

What’s the code?

“... ... .”

Game progress has stopped.

So there was no time limit of 10 seconds like before. This means that you can type comfortably at any time.

but... What code do you mean?

At that moment, Bae Se-jin’s narration flowed on the screen.

-This is the code I already know.

-I was told by the thief when I received this key.

And this time, he began to hear the voice of Liu Cheng-wu that he recalled.

-I want you to analyze the key.

Bae Se-jin’s eyes were close-up.

-And I analyzed.

-The information the phantom thief wanted came out. It’s like a gem of a location. However, there was also a lot of dummy data that seemed to have been put in on purpose.

-As if to increase the hard-to-find capacity.

-At that time, there was a picture of a man among the dummy data that I almost inadvertently overlooked... There was a code on the back of the photo.

The narration ended there.

‘What is it?’

Homma was taken aback and read the subtitles again.

‘Men’s... A picture.’

“... ... .”

no way?

“omg!”

She jumped up and took out the USB and picked up the album box she had pushed aside.

And I took out the only component left in it.

photo card.

On the back of Kim Rae-bin’s photo card with the tip of an awl in her mouth, a code was written along with a logo.

[Roll the Dice]

~please enter the code

[AW23-5DQ2-B25E]

She entered it with trembling hands.

... The moment you hit enter.

Bae Se-jin in the screen also began to move his hand over the lock pad.

and.

-success... did!

The door is open.

“done!”

She reflexively clasped her hands together, then realized.

‘and!’

This is a structure that makes me feel very worthwhile to buy an album!

In any case, she got up from her seat with a reflex intuition of a happy ending.

It was the reaction of a gamer who did not know that what he saw was about ‘normal ending -3’.

Anyway, now I’m starting to lower my rating a little bit.

‘It was really immersive!’

I don’t know how the hell this was filmed and how different the kids must have been... I wanted to do it again right away and choose another option!

The most important thing is that I like the costumes, and the acting is good because it doesn’t make me cringe.

To be honest, Sejin Bae acted so well that synergy came out.

But what bothers me is... .

‘Oh, didn’t the thieves appear like the main characters?’

There are some problems with the amount of time, but oddly, it felt like the event was organized from the perspective of the phantom thief.

‘Ah, Ahyeon’s actual amount is a bit less.’

And there was still an unanswered question about what the board game was... ... .

‘really... It was of unbelievable quality.’

I don’t know what to say about this. It’s like watching a movie and I’m choosing what the characters do!

If this is the case, I think even fans who don’t like games will like it.

She nodded eagerly as it was her first time to properly encounter the ‘interactive movie’ genre.

‘Thinking about it again, the outfit was so good... Ha, it’s really the best.’

While waiting for the epilogue to load, she finally decided to go to the bathroom.

And naturally, it was when I picked up my smartphone.

-Hurry up and play the other version of the album

. ??”

-Because of the crazy version 2, the prologue changed and the prisoner came out

. A phantom thief prison guard?

what what?

-The main stream is almost the same, but the individual events are different. What is it

? ... .”

Homma panicked and rushed to the bathroom and to the delivery box.

And I opened the second USB box.

The second USB album that I hurriedly took out while pushing Cha Yoo-jin’s photo card with her tongue slightly exposed.

she swallowed.

‘Should I start with this?’

Since Moon-Dae is a prisoner, do I have to do this to see a lot of Moon-Dae? When Homma is in confusion.

Again, the smartphone screen lit up.

-Uh, since you don’t break this syringe, you can

become a phantom thief at Moondae. thighs!

“... ?!”

that... what else is that... ?

It was the beginning of Testa’s album rice cake.
