Chapter 249

Episode 249:

There are two cases in which a plaster monster is created.

First thing first. According to Rule 9, the body of a survivor who is trapped in one space for a certain period of time changes. It is important to unite with colleagues who are waiting outside or coming to the connected space before it is too late, but this may have been the case with Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon, who were locked in the auditorium in the last episode, when this was not possible.

‘I don’t know what happened to the body that looked like student Maeng Na-eun...’

Park Da-young was probably strangled to death by Park Da-hoon. They probably killed them before they turned into plaster monsters so as not to cause as much disadvantage to the survivors who would come looking for them. Considering that Park Da-young’s legs had turned into white plaster, it was almost certain.

“...Mr. Jeong In-ho.”

When Lee Jae-heon, who just peeked his head out of the elevator, called out Jeong In-ho, the other person answered in a calm and quiet tone.

“...That’s the plaster statue I told you about. It was very fast and strong, but even the manager couldn’t handle it. “I think we should avoid our eyes as much as possible.”

They were taking the elevator up to escape from a classroom with no school rules and rescue a student they had never seen before.

“Huh...”

Lee Jae-heon and Jeong In-ho closed the elevator door again, went inside, and sighed under their breath. The main character may have exhaled from tension, but Jaeheon Lee exhaled from frustration.

The second route where plaster monsters are created.

‘You were chosen by the teacher monster.’

This is the case when the teacher monster appoints a survivor as ‘class president’.

If you are attacked so severely that your bones are visible and your flesh falls off, and you are tied to a chair, it is obviously difficult to survive. The other students who had just entered the underworld and were attacked were probably already dead. However, even a student who was tied up like that could have been appointed by the teacher monster before he died.

‘I guess it hasn’t been that long since that bastard became a monster...’ Although it

was never described separately in the novel, Lee Jae-heon remembered Park Da-hoon, who had a lot to say for a plaster monster in the last episode. It didn’t even rush at the survivor as soon as it saw it. Lee Jae-heon judged that it was because Park Da-hoon’s body was less stiff enough to be able to endure it with his will. The plaster monsters in the novel could barely speak and their gestures were particularly elastic.

In that sense, the plaster monster I had just seen outside the elevator door was a little softer than the other monsters and was stuck in a corner. It seems like he’s muttering something. The speculation that it was definitely a less hardened plaster monster was given even more weight.

“You said the plaster monster was a survivor transformed.”

“Yes... Dahun was in that state. “It was the same for the other survivors in the warehouse.”

“How did that student end up like that?”

“...Manager....”

No, fuck. I didn’t say that because I felt sorry.

‘I’m really curious about why it happened like that.’

Seeing that his movements were smooth, it seemed clear that it was not the guy who had just been caught when he entered the underworld, but the guy who had stolen his jacket. However, I am curious as to what talent the guy who was arrested for not having a jacket was appointed to. Because teacher monsters don’t appoint all dogs or cows as class presidents.

For reference, in the novel, Garam Yoon receives an appointment offer, accepts it, and almost becomes a plaster monster. Jeong In-ho immediately cut off Yoon Gar-ram’s left hand, stopping the process and leaving her as a human...

“...”

“... Why do you look at me like that?”

“...If I were to tell you that when you turn into a plaster monster, you can survive by cutting off only the advanced parts, would you do that?”

“Is that really the only way? Then there is nothing we can do.”

“You disgusting bastard.”

“No, what... the manager is stronger than me.”

After all, the main character was the main character.

“I agree with Mr. Jeong In-ho’s opinion. “That is correct.”

“The doctor says so too.”

The doctor was also a doctor.

‘I really hate this combination.’

Writer, I want to go home.

Yes. Lee Jae-heon, Jeong In-ho, and Ha Seong-yoon were riding in an elevator that could accommodate only three people. It was a truly difficult combination for Lee Jae-heon, who recognized the ability of disgusting things but could not confirm their existence, but was able to defend himself by saying, ‘It is still better than Hong Gyeong-jun’s arrival.’ The students who saw it for the first time did the right thing by relying on the police and leaving it below.

“I don’t know how that monster came to be. “Seeing as it is made from survivors... there must be conditions.”

“Isn’t that because of Rule 9? Didn’t they say that when you’re locked in a room without someone waiting for you outside, the time limit appears on your wrist? “Isn’t it because the teacher was captured by the monster and locked in the classroom that he turned into such a monster?”

The protagonist, who was trying to answer Ha Seong-yoon’s question based on his memories from the previous episode, soon shook his head.

“...Um no. If that were the case, all the students captured by the teacher monster would have turned into such monsters. “Seeing that that student has changed so much, it seems clear that there are more conditions.”

In fact, Jaeheon Lee could have secretly told me the correct answer at this point. Because it is not difficult to create an experience that did not exist for ‘Lee Jae-heon’ and subtly expose it to him, as he has already done a few times.

‘But this method also has its limitations.’

“It certainly is.”

Ha Seong-yoon nodded, looked back at Lee Jae-heon and Jeong In-ho and asked.

“Then who would like to hide in the chair? “I saw it briefly earlier, but the space was quite wide and long, so hiding itself didn’t seem like a burden.”

“If it’s okay with you, Inho Jeong, please come in.”

The protagonist blinked at Lee Jae-heon’s words.

“...I...you mean? “Why?”

“Think about why we brought Ha Seong-yoon here. Even if we find a student whose jacket was stolen, there is a high probability that he or she is in bad condition, so a doctor is needed.”

“Has my expression become very bitter? I think so. The person I had questions about was not Ha Seong-yoon, but the manager. “Do you really think I should hide?”

“That’s right, I’ve been to the school once before, and at least out of all the people gathered here, I’m probably the quickest at reacting. “I don’t know what rules are left, so I think I should go.”

“...Boss.”

“What is it?”

At Lee Jae-heon’s words, Jeong In-ho was seen taking off his glasses and pressing them between his eyes. As I watched him doing this with a rather tired face, the protagonist, who had calmed down before he knew it, opened his mouth.

“Do you have any pain?”

“....”

“Your gait seemed a little strange.”

“...There is no pain...”

“If you really don’t have any pain, you won’t mind if I lift your clothes, right?”

Fuck.

“...Isn’t that crazy? Inho Jeong knows my walk because it’s been a while since he’s seen me. No, it wouldn’t have been that obvious in the first place, right?”

“It looks like you’re sick. If it were like before, I would have covered it up by being an old man or insisted somehow. “It’s so funny that I have to be confused by the fact that you acknowledge it so obediently.”

“You disgusting bastard.”

“I think Ha Seong-yoon also has something to say.”

“No...”

Ha Seong-yoon was staring at Lee Jae-heon with a look of betrayal.

In the end, it was Lee Jae-heon who decided to hide in the chair. There was nothing I could do because the wounds on my legs and abdomen were revealed and I was almost grabbed by the collar. If I had insisted a little more, I would have really been grabbed by the collar and nagged for 10 minutes.

As break time was coming to an end, they came out of the elevator and walked carefully.

“....”

“....”

Fortunately, the plaster monster was still loitering at the end of the hallway.

‘Teacher monsters are coming from the grade room.’

For reference, this teacher monster does not inform the plaster monster even if it encounters a survivor in the hallway. Jaeheon Lee headed to the classroom closest to the elevator and hid under a chair after seeing the two survivors entering the classroom just in time for the monster teacher to open the door.

I heard the classroom door slam shut.

“....”

What period was this?

‘It must have been about 6 or 7 periods...’

When you’re in the other side of the world, you definitely lose the concept of time. It was because I didn’t have the presence of mind to check the time, but at this school, I had to at least know what period it was. That way, I will be able to leave school within 1 minute after the 8th period ends.

So no matter how much I thought about it, escaping from school this episode was impossible.

‘How many classrooms are there on the 4th floor? Once you check all of that, you’ll have to plan for the next school dismissal time. Then, you’ve already lost all your mental energy in the classroom. How can you leave school in that state?’

Jaeheon Lee didn’t say he would go into the classroom for nothing. Perhaps the Park siblings had an unusual mentality and were able to endure it well, but the survivors who received classes in the classroom were set to suffer a mental blow. It is also a blow that reflects the individual survivor’s school days.

In this situation, you’re going to leave school after only two? Even though you don’t know all the rules?

‘It’s really unreasonable.’

Lee Jae-heon shook his head inwardly, hiding further inside his chair as the class bell rang cheerfully yet gloomily. I could hear the footsteps of monsters going here and there.

Besides, it wasn’t just about hiding like this. In order for Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho to be able to get out of the space they are trapped in at the right time, they have to go in the middle and allow them to come out. If possible, as the students said, I could have called and given permission. Either way was just as dangerous.

‘There’s no way I won’t be caught by the plaster monster even once.’

It’s really hard to make a living.
