I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 46
Chapter 46
That means when they enter the Memory Room, they’ll get evidence that I’m the villain again.
‘I don’t know what will come out, but I have to clear the mission first.’
I glanced back.
– Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go.
– Let’s play! Ahh!
– If you become a doll, you can live in this form forever. Forever, forever, forever!
A stuffed doll with an arm torn off. A wooden doll with a loose jaw that makes a loud rattling noise every time it moves. A rusty old robot.
All sorts of dolls were chasing after us.
Red light flashed in the dolls’ eyes. The moment they made eye contact with me….
Clack, clack, clack, clack.
The wooden doll’s jaw moved three times faster than normal.
Next to it, the dolls laughed and waved their hands, growl.
– Heyna looked this way!
– Heyna, look at me too.
– Look this way too, Heyna!
Stop calling my name, you crazy dolls!

We managed to shake off the dolls, went into the bedroom and locked the door. Just in case, we even pulled the mattress to the door and blocked it, and only then could we finally catch our breath.
[Zion’s suspicion of ‘Heyna’ has increased by 1.]
He must have been too busy running away to suspect anything earlier, but now Zion’s suspicion has gone up.
“I’m sorry to say this in this situation, but I can’t help but think that the ghost named Anna and the dolls are strangely friendly to Heyna.”
Zion’s sharp observation made my heart sink.
Yes, Anna had been friendly towards me all along. Not now, of course.
“Friendly? What are you talking about, Zion? Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see Heyna’s arm right now?”
Rose came to my defense and snapped at him.
‘That’s right. He shouldn’t be saying things like that after seeing Anna attack me with his own two eyes.’
“…I’m sorry, Heyna. I was being shortsighted.”
His apology didn’t match his suspicion, which remained the same.
Fine, go ahead. Suspect me, suspect me!
This was not the time to be concerned about Zion.
“What we’re doing right now is tag, right?”
Rose answered yes to my question.
Tag.
The game that Anna started on a whim was tag.
Hide-and-seek and now tag.
They’re both games that children like.
‘Wait a minute. But why….’
I looked around. Just in case, I checked the home and mission windows, but…
‘It’s not here.’
There was no sign of what I was looking for anywhere.
“Hey, this is a tag game. There are different rules, right?”
Rose tilted her head at my question.
“Yes. The person who’s ‘it’ chases the others and if they catch everyone, ‘it’ wins. And if they don’t catch everyone within the time limit, the runners win, right?”
Zion and Dekir answered next.
“The tag I know has the same rules as the hide-and-seek we played earlier.”
“Mine’s similar. The only difference is that the first person to be caught by ‘it’ becomes the new ‘it’.”
Tommy finished off bluntly.
“The tag I know is like the one Rose knows. So what’s the problem?”
“…We don’t have a time limit, do we?”
At my question, Zion’s eyes frantically searched the air. He seemed to be looking for a timer somewhere.
“That’s right. There’s no timer….”
“What does that matter? Do we need a timer?”
Tommy spoke irritably to Rose, who still didn’t understand the situation we were in.
“You idiot. If there’s no timer, that means tag won’t end until ‘it’ catches all of us.”
“…What?”
Rose’s complexion turned blue.
“Then, what should we do?”
“What else? We just have to keep running until we find a way to kill it.”
We must kill the ghost to survive. Otherwise, this terrible ghost hunting will never end.
Bang!
The door shook violently, and the mattress blocking it was pushed.
– Are you there?
– We’re here!
– Kids, come out now. Let’s play together!
Bang!
The door was shaking violently as if it was not being pushed by small dolls.
“What do we do? It’s going to break!”
We were like rats trapped in poison.
‘That’s why you must scatter and run away when playing ghost hunting.’
“How about saving first?” Dekir said in a leisurely tone that did not fit this situation at all.
“Oh, right! There was such a function.”
“Yes. The save function was not activated earlier… It’s activated again.”
At Zion’s words, everyone opened the menu and pressed [Save].
I also opened the menu with a little hope, but…
[New Game]
[Load]
[Collection]
[Exit]
Of course. There was still no save button on my menu.
Look at this. I’m the only one without a save button. I’m in hell mode.
‘This d*mned system.’
