Chapter 250

Episode 250

There are a total of 38 classrooms from the 2nd to 4th floors. Among them, there were 13 classrooms on the 4th floor alone. This meant that even if Jeong In-ho and Ha Seong-yoon each visited one classroom, they had to visit the classroom at least six times.

‘The problem is this class bell that rings from time to time.’

Total class time is 50 minutes. There is a 10 minute break that follows. All survivors had to sit in their classroom chairs until the class bell rang once every 60 minutes. Otherwise...

Jeong In-ho’s eyes landed on the limp lumps of meat in the classroom.

‘...Did I say that Dayoung’s class was the first class of 3rd grade?’

As they didn’t know what would happen in the classroom, Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho were both in the same classroom, and this was the classroom closest to the elevator, which was Da-young Park’s class, 3rd grade, 1st class. In the classroom where they were sitting, they could see corpses with various limbs crushed.

Even if they were told that all they had to do was avoid being caught by the teacher monster, they would not have had the luxury of doing so.

“....”

I gasped.

‘I felt a little strange coming from a classroom without school rules... I wonder if there are any real disadvantages.’

Lee Jae-heon repeatedly talked about the secret world being a place where your mental strength is diminished just by taking a breath, and Jeong In-ho also sympathized with that point. Should I say that it feels as if someone is showering me with hatred, as if telling me to die right away? Because of that, he didn’t feel it at first, but as time passed, In-ho Jeong became more confident after entering the classroom.

The school’s ‘lessons’ quickly eroded the survivor’s mental strength.

“....”

“....”

In fact, even if the underworld and school did not have a direct impact on the survivors, it was a psychologically harmful situation. There were mannequin monsters sitting on each of the approximately 20 seats, and corpses hanging out here and there between the monsters. The sound of mechanical writing coming from all directions and the monster teacher standing at the table looking only at the students.

Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho even removed the body and sat there. No matter how high the emotional threshold Jung In-ho was and Ha Seong-yoon, who was used to torn flesh, it was a situation that could not help but feel bad.

‘It’s hard to even get the words out.’

Since I didn’t know exactly what conditions would be required for the teacher monster to attack directly, it was a wise decision to adapt to the surrounding atmosphere if possible. If Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho were whispering or writing to each other and the monster teacher who saw them got angry, it would have been difficult to handle.

Jeong In-ho sighed very faintly.

“...Haa....”

Time passed so slowly.

Jeong In-ho raised his head and looked around the classroom. Despite the ticking sound, the hands of the clock do not move. Students’ notes take notes at different speeds, but nothing is actually written down. A teacher who looks only at the students and not at the blackboard. Student monsters that look the same as if they were printed in a factory, and corpses hanging everywhere.

A situation where you have to endure all of this for 50 minutes without being able to say anything or move to another place.

“....”

That made Jeong In-ho crazy.

‘...I thought I could go out comfortably if I just followed the rules.’

It was a ridiculous idea. The five rules that Da-hoon Park organized were really helpful, but I didn’t know what the other four rules were, and I wasn’t even sure if the remaining four rules were correct.

Besides, having to endure this crazy situation for 50 minutes was not something a human would do. I felt like insect-like nervousness and strange fear were gnawing away at my feet and digging into my brain. When I first arrived in the other side of the world, I was able to calm my mind and regain my composure as much as possible in reality, but I felt empty, as if the treasure I had worked so hard to save was empty.

“....”

I want to go out.

Just the thought of wanting to get out and wanting to get out filled my brain.

‘I could really go crazy like this.’

Jeong In-ho, scratching his neck in frustration that was getting worse, looked at Ha Seong-yoon sitting next to him, but his situation did not seem much different from Jeong In-ho’s. Ha Seong-yoon had his hands clasped together and his eyes tightly closed. His expression was expressionless and not distorted at all, but his opponent was Ha Seong-yoon, who was always smiling, so this was a reaction that showed that he was quite mentally concentrated.

“....”

In the end, Jeong In-ho also closed his eyes. The good news among the misfortunes is that the teacher monster does not get angry or swing his hand at such disloyal students.

The moment I thought that.

~♫?????????

“...?!”

“her.”

Soft classical music could be heard from a desk drawer right in front of Ha Seong-yoon. Although the song name was so unfamiliar that it was hard to tell, it was certain that it made Jeong In-ho and Ha Seong-yoon’s hearts flutter.

And in an instant, the teacher monster approached and broke through the Kwasik desk and smashed the cell phone inside.

“...Ah.”

“....”

“...Injured leg....”

“Yes.”

“Damn it.”

Ha Seong-yoon took a deep breath and muttered.

“I hope you continue to hide in that spot.”

They recalled Lee Jae-heon, who had a sullen expression on his face when they told him to hide. If it had been other people, I would have gladly accepted it and been grateful, but it seems like I have to come forward first to be able to resolve my feelings. That amazing and selfish spirit of sacrifice.

He was a person you could hardly trust.

*

... Just in case, I blocked the speaker with my finger.

‘It looks like they’re moving to the next half.’

Fortunately, the plaster monster headed towards the building on the other side. Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho seemed to know this as well, and I heard them moving around the classroom twice to avoid the attention of the student monsters. Then, when the class bell rang, I heard the sound of something being pushed out loud. It seemed like he probably pushed away a student monster.

Lee Jae-heon, who heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway, hid himself in the space under the chair again.

“...it’s hard to lie down....”

I don’t know what the survivors who are suffering in the classroom will think when they hear this, but Jaeheon Lee was sincere in his own way.

He had wounds on his abdomen and calves that could never be healed or regenerated in the other world. The prone position that allowed me to get up quickly if the situation occurred to me subtly made my wounds more painful.

If anything, I was at least mentally normal during my last trip to the other side of the world, but now the mental pain of being a weak old manager who had just suffered in real life had not yet healed. It meant that, like last time, there was a limit to being able to withstand the pain with mental strength.

‘This too will get better over time.’

As expected, Lee Jae-heon was more comfortable in the behind-the-scenes world than in reality.

‘Rather... the problem is how to leave school.’

First of all, it is impossible to escape right away this time.

It’s probably the 7th or 8th period right now, so even if you ring the bell for dismissal separately, how can they who are gathered on the 3rd and 4th floors be able to go down to the 1st floor within 1 minute? Kim Hee-chan’s whereabouts are still unknown, and he can’t even leave unless it’s the front door.

‘Even if those two get used to it and go to each classroom separately, it won’t be possible to get off school this time, and then we’ll have to go to class 8 more times. Wouldn’t the emotional burden be lessened if we only found out that Kim Hee-chan was already dead? In that case, if you just hang around on the first floor and escape... Oh, before that, you’ll have to call the survivors who will wait for you on the second and first floors.’

Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking of an escape route in his mind, muttered softly.

“...Mr. Ha....”

I shouldn’t have felt this way already, but this episode was really not good.

Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking carefully about possible escape routes, naturally had no choice but to think about preparing for the next episode. If I couldn’t finish it this time, I thought I should inform the protagonist and other returnees about the existence of rule number 8 and its difficulty within this episode as much as possible.

And you guys said I was at my fastest just before I died...?

“....”

If he’s going to die anyway, at least the main character should be saved and sent out.

Just like that, the class bell rang and the dismissal bell rang again. The voices that had been buzzing at the sound of a different bell quieted down and I heard the class bell ring again and again.

“―Aaaahhh...!”

“Please come to your senses!”

“mister...!”

Lee Jae-heon, who woke up as if he had been waiting for the faint sound of a scream coming from the third floor, gazed at the plaster monster scurrying at high speed from the building on the other side.

Just then, his cell phone rang and his eyes met the monster.

“....”

“....”

Lee Jae-heon took off his gloves and held a crowbar in his hands.

“You bastard....”

Let’s look at the name tag.
