I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Yes, there was a walkie-talkie! Only now did the existence of the walkie-talkie come to mind.
“Wait a moment, Heyna.”
Dekir fiddled with the walkie-talkie, examining it from all angles.
“Just press this button and speak.”
I followed Dekir’s instructions and pressed the button next to the walkie-talkie, speaking into it.
“Ah, ah. Rose, can you hear me?”
Bzzt!
Soon after, Rose’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
-Heyna!
I tried to explain the situation to Rose first.
-Huhuhu.
But before that, Rose’s voice trembled and whimpered.
-Heyna, I can’t take it anymore. Help me, please!
Could it be that Rose had experienced the same thing as me?
“Rose, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me calmly.”
-Tommy…
“Why? Did something happen to him?”
-It’s not that… Hey! What are you doing?
What?
I faintly heard Tommy’s annoyed voice.
-Can’t you sit quietly and wait while I’m talking to Heyna?
-Why should I?
-Why? Well, obviously…
-Look, there’s no reason, right?
-No, just wait. I’m thinking right now.
-Then tell me after you finish thinking.
-Hey! Tommy!
As I listened to their conversation, it didn’t seem like there was any major problem. They were just having another minor argument as they had done before.
-I’m going crazy. I don’t want to be in the same space as that unpredictable man anymore!
-Who said you had to endure it?
-It’s noisy! Don’t interrupt while I’m talking to Heyna.
I quickly interjected to prevent Rose and Tommy from arguing any further.
“Rose, is there something like a platform on your side? A rainbow-colored platform.”
-Platform?
Rose responded in a puzzled voice and then suddenly understood with an “Ah.”
-Yes, there was.
“Then… you passed by that room?”
-Yes.
“How?”
-How? Well, I just stepped on the places where there were platforms…
What does this mean?
Suddenly, the writing on the floor caught my eye.
[Follow the footsteps, and the path will be made. The future path lies within present.]
Footsteps are the traces left behind when you step and move forward. They represent the journey of the past.
‘That’s it! This hint wasn’t for solving the puzzle in this room. It was written from the beginning, ‘Follow the footsteps.’’
“Rose, were the platforms in your room also rainbow-colored?”
-Yes, they were.
As expected.
“Can you go back to the original room?”
Hmm, just a moment. Hey, Tommy!
Rose’s voice calling for Tommy faded into the distance.
I prayed that Rose and Tommy would be able to return to the previous room. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to follow the footsteps.
“Heyna, did you figure something out?”
Dekir, who had been listening from behind, asked curiously. I nodded confidently and replied.
“Yes. The way to pass through here was there from the beginning, in the past.”
“If it’s the past, you mean the room where those two are?”
“Yes. It says ‘Follow the footsteps’ here. It means we have to follow the path Rose and Tommy took in the past.”
Quick to catch on, Dekir understood my words immediately.
“So that’s what it means.”
“And the part about ‘The future path lies within present….'”
Before I could finish my sentence, Rose’s voice flowed out of the walkie-talkie.
-Heyna, we’ve returned to the room with the platform, as you said.
Thank goodness. They were able to go back to the room they had passed through.
“Then can you tell me the colors of the platform you passed in order?”
Yes. First was red, then green…
“Wait a moment, Rose.”
The three platforms Rose called out, red, green, and yellow, were lined up like a path.
“Dekir, let’s go.”
I resolutely stepped towards the red platform.
No, I was about to step on it.
“Dekir?”
Dekir, who was standing next to me, stepped onto the red platform first. Dekir moved his foot on it and then smiled at me.
“Have you already forgotten? Heyna. I told you I’d do all the dangerous things for you.”
I thought it was just to comfort me.
“Come here, Heyna.”
Dekir held out his hand like a gentleman asking for a dance. I couldn’t hide my foolish expression and took his hand.
The step onto the red platform was surprisingly light.
I almost fell to my death under the platform just now, but strangely, I wasn’t scared at all this time.
“What’s next?”
