Chapter 291
The garden was in really good conditions so that I could make a decision as soon as I finished assessing the situation.
“First of all, there aren’t really any rules.”
Jeong In-ho, who returned to the shelter, spread three fingers and said.
“Number 1: Don’t harm other people’s gardens. 2. Growing crops with care. Number 3: Don’t bring in pets. “This is all.”
“Uh... who told you all that? “It’s very detailed, unlike at school.”
“There was a sign posted. It was written in a very cute font that kindergarten teachers would find useful. It looked like it was written with crayons.
“I’m not that curious about that...”
Kim Ki-jeong asked, scratching the back of his neck.
“But number 1... don’t harm other people’s gardens. Wouldn’t there be no reason for us to move to the garden? “It means that even if there is food, you can’t use it.”
“Oh, that’s okay too.”
“yes? why?”
“The residents are friendly.”
“yes...?”
With a pale, tired face, Kim Ki-jeong stuttered.
“Speaking of residents... aren’t those mannequins the only ones here?”
“No, it was a scarecrow.”
“Wow, I’m going crazy.”
While Kim Ki-jeong insulted the diversity of the underworld with words, Do-yoon Han raised one hand. The survivors were very worried about him because he had experienced something more difficult than they could have imagined, such as being kidnapped, but seeing him look quite cheerful, he seemed to have recovered while resting at the shelter.
“You said it was a scarecrow, but from what you say, I guess there is no aggression?”
“Yes, that was really friendly. “It may be funny to say this, but it makes me wonder if there is such a group of people among humans.”
“I didn’t know that the other side of the world was so gentle.”
“Of course it was creepy.”
Kang Min-ah lowered her head as if she greatly agreed with Jung In-ho’s words.
“The upper body is human, but the lower body is a wooden stick.”
“To be exact, it looked like a person was split in half and a pole was placed at the bottom. “It didn’t just look like that, blood was actually dripping from the cut torso.”
“I wouldn’t know it once I got out of there, but it was so disgusting that my whole body was bleeding like sweat...” “
Even the eyes and mouth were sewn up beautifully with thread. “It may not be enough to be a doctor, but if you were to make a doll, it was pretty decent.”
“The inside of the head was full of rice straw, and it looked a little disgusting because it looked like rice straw had been stuffed inside human skin.”
Han Do-yoon gave a thumbs up to the conversation between Kang Min-ah and Ha Seong-yoon.
“Okay, I’ll stay here!”
“No, but he was really kind... and gave me some seedlings.”
“...seedlings?”
“I also gave them seeds. They said they would welcome a new resident...”
“Are you even talking? “I heard your mouth was sewn shut?”
“They were carrying signs. Floating along the field road...”
“What is it? “Are you a ghost?”
“It looked more like a balloon than that. It wasn’t really that big of a thing floating off the ground. “I didn’t go anywhere unless it was on a designated path.”
“It’s funny and it’s also gross....”
“It’s like that with all monsters in the other world.”
Garam Yoon intervened in the conversation between Minah Kang and Yoon Han.
“What does a survivor have to say about the garden? desire? will? Anyway, the moment we want to belong to it, our own area is created inside it. “It felt like they were encouraging me to come quickly.”
Jaeheon Lee intervened in her words.
“The problem is that such spaces usually end up causing trouble later.”
“...But let’s move the shelter there?”
“I know that those types of traps don’t reveal the truth until much later. I think it’s either when the crops are fully grown or when I announce that I’m going to abandon the garden. If it’s the former, I think they’ll attack you by saying, ‘Actually, you were the fertilizer for these crops!’ If it’s the latter, they’ll attack you by saying, ‘You’re ridiculous for daring to leave the garden?’...” “I guess you’ve seen a lot of movies.
”
“Did you know that the underworld is created based on the thoughts of humans? Movies were created by humans, and those who watch movies are also humans. There are all kinds of clichés in the behind-the-scenes world, so what a naive statement. “When I return to reality, I’ll have to do some prep work with movies and cartoons.”
“Wow...”
“Would you like to grill tomatoes and cucumbers? “Well, I like it, but...”
Azalea asked, adjusting her glasses.
“Isn’t this poisonous? “Those scarecrows went crazy giving gifts, didn’t they?”
“No poison.”
“Have you tried it?”
“Thanks to you, I got scolded.”
“Fish oil.”
Lee Jae-heon frowned at Azalea’s gaze as if he were an immature child.
“...Don’t you usually appreciate it if you check for poison first? “Why do I always get scolded like this?”
“I’m so glad I didn’t get married.”
“What kind of cruel words...?”
“Anyway, it’s not poisonous. So what does this gift mean?”
Jeong In-ho, who was looking at Lee Jae-heon with pitch-black eyes, smiled and answered.
“It seemed like a kidnapper baiting children with candy. Right now, it seems like the intention is to settle the situation rather than attack...”
“...Uh... So is this a business gift...?”
Kwon Yeon-hee, who was looking into the basket, seemed to remember her brilliant performance in the past, saying, ‘Monsters are good at business...’ She smiled and looked at the crops next to the azalea.
“Something is good. I’m sorry for sounding like I’m complaining, but I’m a little bit stoked to keep eating only convenience store food... No, you’re complaining, right? Anyway, it’s nice to see fresh vegetables.”
“I refused to give him an old pumpkin because it seemed too heavy.”
“Aren’t those monsters angry? “You stole so much from me... and even refused the gift...?”
“They were really kind people. “He just smiled and let me go.”
Kwon Yeon-hee made a strange expression at Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“...The more I listen to it, the more I feel uncomfortable because it feels like a trap. “Why are you so nice to me?”
“Pompitz likes people even if they don’t receive anything.”
“Uh uh... what about that guy? Since he’s a dog, I can kind of understand... but if he’s a monster with a human motif... it’s a bit...” “
That’s true. “It’s natural that it’s hard to believe.”
Jaeheon Lee shrugged his shoulders.
“So shouldn’t we eat everything we can?”
“...Is that how it happens?”
“Plus, it says that pets are not allowed in the garden, but perhaps because of that rule, other monsters weren’t able to enter.”
Kim Ki-jeong muttered to him.
“If that’s the case, you can sleep with your pet and just put a sign saying no animals allowed...”
“This is probably a result of the reality that it is difficult to sanction even wild animals. I waited for an hour just in case the monster passed by, but it did not come into the garden. “I thought I was going to take a look, but I passed by quietly.”
“...It’s definitely more comfortable than the mountain behind the school. “If you live there.”
“It may be better than just watching inconveniently due to disadvantages that may arise at any time.”
Woo Joo-young accepted Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“Well then... how about a few people spend time in the garden for a week or so? With the number of people who can quickly recognize and easily escape even if something happens....” “
It won’t be too late to make a decision after stopping by two more times. “Going to the pharmacy has also been canceled, so I think it would be a good idea for people who don’t usually go out often to go as well.”
At those words, Lee Yun-byeol raised his head.
“Someone like me...?”
“If it’s not too uncomfortable. “If you are worried about Seo-ah and Min-hong, there is nothing you can do, but since you never know when you might end up alone, I think it would be a good idea to learn basic search and response techniques.”
“Ah...”
Lee Yun-byeol nodded slowly.
“Please do me a favor. “I think I need to learn more...”
Her gaze was directed at the sleeping kindergarten students.
“I was lucky enough to be with Kim Ki-jeong this time, but there is no guarantee that will happen next time. “If I want to protect my children, I think it would be a good idea to learn something.”
“Actually, if you just remember how to hide well and hold on, there won’t be any major problems... I understand.”
To conclude, Yunbyeol Lee did not adapt well. If a monster popped out on the way, I would panic, and just seeing the monster standing still would make me motion sick. Nevertheless, Lee Jae-heon was satisfied with the way he persevered, paying attention to not having a negative impact on others due to his poor condition. For a weak-hearted young resident, Jumin was a hard worker.
When it was confirmed that there was no major problem in the garden, Lee Yun-byeol and other standby crew members learned search methods, and Han Do-yoon and other patients recovered mentally and physically to some extent.
The exploration of Eonhak High School was finally decided.
