I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 59
Chapter 59
While Heyna was organizing her thoughts, Dekir started communicating with Zion via the walkie-talkie.
The strategy for Zion’s ‘future’ was to follow the arrow pattern on the stepping stones in the current room where we were.
However…
“That’s strange. I told you exactly what I saw.”
“I’m sorry, I think I gave you the wrong direction for one of the arrows in the middle.”
Dekir kept giving the wrong direction for one of the arrows in the middle, so Zion died and came back to life twice.
– Dekir, do you have a grudge to me?
“Of course not. It was a mistake. I’m really sorry, Zion.”
Zion’s voice was strangely suspicious. However, as there was no evidence that Dekir had deliberately given the wrong information, he could not say anything more.
After a series of twists and turns, Zion also safely moved to the next room.
After the communication ended, I asked Dekir.
“Dekir, was it really a mistake?”
“Huh?”
“I’m talking about when you gave him the wrong direction for the arrow earlier.”
Dekir smiled naturally and nodded. However, when I didn’t take my suspicious eyes off him, he hesitated and said.
“Actually…”
Dekir continued, looking like a child caught playing a naughty trick.
“Zion was being mean to Heyna all the time. He kept suspecting you without any evidence and pressing you, so I got a little angry.”
“So you deliberately gave me the wrong direction?”
“…At first, it really was a mistake.”
“And then?”
“….”
Dekir avoided my gaze without answering.
As I thought, he deliberately gave him the wrong information after that.
“Don’t do that again. Zion is pitiful.”
“…Okay.”
To be honest, it was a little refreshing.
‘Anyway, he can come back to life.’
But I felt sorry for making him go through a terrible experience twice, just because he was mean to me.
After finishing the conversation, I started feeling the wall.
“Heyna?”
She should be around here.
According to Rose, there was a door across the stepping stones in the past room. However, there was no door in sight to the next room in the present where we were and the future where Zion was.
This part was the same as the room escape content I knew.
If nothing has changed from what I know, the way to get to the next room is to find and press the button hidden in the wall.
Focusing my senses on my fingertips, I felt the smooth wall…
“Oh, here it is!”
I felt a subtle gap opening.
I put my strength into my fingers.
Click!
With the sound of the button being pressed―
“Aahh!”
“Heyna!”
The ground suddenly disappeared.
***
Thud.
Fortunately, there was a soft seat on the floor.
“Dekir, are you okay?”
“Yes. What about Heyna?”
“I’m okay too.”
After confirming that Dekir was safe, I looked around.
The room was dark. However, there was enough light to distinguish what was where.
We landed on a thick mattress. The soft red velvet seat was surrounded by a gold-colored border. It looked more like a display stand for precious items than a bed.
A red circle was drawn at our feet.
A large circle drawn around the red six-pointed star in the center. The twelve letters of the alphabet were neatly lined up inside the double-layered circular border.
‘Thank goodness. This is the room I know!’
Just in case, I checked several times to see if the position of the alphabet matched my memory. I didn’t want to have a terrible experience again because I was careless like before.
W at 12 o’clock. Then P at 1 o’clock. Reading the letters listed in a clockwise direction―
W P A N F D M S D J E L
At first glance, it seems like a meaningless arrangement.
Okay. So far, it’s the same as I remember. Now I have to find ‘that’.
As I was looking for the item needed to solve the problem, Dekir called me.
“Heyna, take a look at this.”
Dekir was holding a black hardcover book.
“Jessie’s Diary”
Jessie’s diary? I never put that in there.
The room we are in is the past, the place where secret black magic experiments were conducted in Clarence. And Jessie was one of the victims who died here.
There are two reasons why Jessie’s diary, which I never put in, is here.
Either Im Ha-yeon put it in without telling me, or…
‘The answer might have changed, just like in the previous room.’
“Let’s check it out.”
Even though there was a problem right in front of me that I knew the answer for, I decided to check Jessie’s diary first.
“This is…”
“The writing is too blurry to make out.”
The densely written words were too blurry to recognize.
“I’ll keep flipping through it.”
[Xth of Xth month
I’ve finally filled 100 slots.
Five people came today.
The red-haired woman who was noisy and argumentative all the time and the violent blue-haired man. The blonde woman who was scared and huddled quietly in the corner, and the hypocritical blonde man. And…
Who was the other one? I can’t remember properly.
Anyway.
I’ve fulfilled the contract, so
I should be free from this terrible curse now, right?]
Read ahead eight chapters here.
