What Ahri went through (2)

Ox!

This was getting exhausting. And it seemed that mom did not know about the basic etiquette of shiritori.

Should I scold her and tell her that she cant start off with a word like that?

Fifth Attempt. The horrifying alarms that popped up at the start of the attempt.

[The Enemy is aware of the contestants.]

[The power of the curse has been enhanced.]

[You cannot escape.]

Seeing that gave me goosebumps, which definitely wasnt common. I prepared myself in case my mom pounced at me from the get go.

But nothing happened.

What was it?

Theres no way that notice wouldnt have meant anything. It didnt feel like Kim Sangmin was trying to do anything to me, and the power of the curse didnt feel stronger either.

Was it because I was in the Hotel, which was cut off from the external world?

But in that case, how did mom get infected by the curse in the first place?

It was way too confusing. Blankly, I waited there hoping for the place to crumble down along with the message that we resolved the curse.

Good luck everyone~!

Ox! Hurry up!

Whatever. It was about time we made our way to the TV Station anyway, so lets just ignore her.

She would probably break the door and come in and I would be at the TV Station by the time I came to myself, right?

.

.

Time went by.

Mom didnt try to break through the door, nor did I get any alarms about the resolution of the curse.

That was strange. My mom had never been such a patient person.

In order to see what she was trying to do, I opened the door and walked outside. Leaving Room 103, I followed down the corridor all the way to the main entrance of the Hotel where I finally found her.

This was definitely strange.

My mom was definitely not someone who would quietly stand there watching the scenery.

That was when I suddenly recalled all the doubts that had been budding in my mind ever since I entered Room 101.

How was mom infected by the curse inside the Hotel, which had no way to communicate with the outside?

There were all sorts of penalties in place after the Fifth Attempt began, so why was nothing happening to me?

Added to that was the strange actions of my mom standing in the distance.

As if struck by a lightning bolt, my mind flashed with understanding. An answer that could provide the answer to all my doubts popped up in my mind.

Who in the world are you?!

What a disappointment.

What?

Do you think you can bluff in front of me? If devilish Convicts like you were able to go on a rampage inside the rooms, we wouldnt be able to solve any of them. You must be already pushing yourself quite hard to show up here, arent you? And besides, Im sure its only possible because were at the Fifth Attempt with some regulations gone. Am I wrong?

Did that hit the mark?

Looking at him leisurely gazing across the surroundings, it didnt seem like I was able to make him speechless with my words or anything.

More than that It seemed like he was bored by this conversation.

I suppose your brain is not that slow even though you only left the previous Hotel by sheer luck. As you said, this little prank of mine is only possible because this is your Fifth Attempt. Actually, I have no plans on interrupting with your team. In fact, Im hoping they clear this as quickly as possible. I have already dealt with the hospital the nurses wont be overly aggressive and Sangmin was making some dolls so I broke them except for one. As for the one that I left behind, you have to understand its only exciting when theres an enemy involved after all. Right now, the bulky one from your teammates is fighting with the doll, so it should be over soon.

What did he mean?

The Head Director said that as if he was helping us like the Devouring One.

You look confused. The looks of confusion on human faces are quite an interesting sight. Im pretty nice so dont worry in fact, the plan is almost complete so theres no reason not to explain it for you. If you resolve the room, the entire world inside the room will start to crumble, as well as this Hotel inside the Hotel.

Naturally, in that process, the Convicts will crumble to nothing as well. However, since I am free compared to them, I am going to help them endure through the collapse. It will be for a short moment but dozens of Convicts like me will manage to regain their freedom! When that happens, do you think Room 101 will be able to last?

I see.

If my teammates resolved the room, the dimension inside the room would crumble down. His plan was to aim for that exact moment and try to destroy Room 101 along with the help of dozens of other Convicts.

Would it be possible for them to escape like that?

I had no idea. It was way too beyond my comprehension that I couldnt be certain of anything.

However, there was one thing I could say for sure.

If dozens of Convicts that were inside the Hotel inside the Hotel were to break free, how long would it take for Earth to be destroyed? 10 minutes?

GUSHH!

The sound of an enormous flood echoed across. It was an external noise breaking through the supposedly unbreachable walls of the Hotel.

It appeared that my teammates had done it.

Everything started to crumble.

The Hotel inside the Hotel was starting to collapse

The Head Director of the Hospital, who had been waiting for this moment, slowly turned his gaze to the sky.

An inexplicable radiance started to exude out of his body.

Were there five colors? Or maybe seven? With my knowledge and senses, it was impossible to express the radiant light in front of me.

Along with the otherworldly halo behind him, the director reached his arms to the side. Immediately, dozens of arms started to shoot out of his body as they each flew to all the rooms of the Hotel.

Kugung!

The doors of the Hotel started to melt.

GOOHHHH!

RAHHHHH!

KKAAAAAKKK!

Deafening roars reverberated across the Hotel. Their roars echoed through the walls of the crumbling Hotel and reached all the way outside.

I was simply baffled by the supernatural scene before my eyes.

What was I supposed to do? Would me attacking him change anything?

Do humans stop construction because of an ant? Would they even care about it?

The Hotel came crumbling down and so did each of the rooms.

Blankly, I watched as countless Convicts retained their form in the radiant, dazzling hands of the Head Director.

Each and every one of them were evil and wicked gods that considered mortals as insects.

The mighty presence of the evil gods shook heaven and the earth.

It was then.

Down came from the peak of the high heavens, a pillar.
