I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 74
Chapter 74
“De, Dekir…?”
I called out to him without fully understanding the situation yet.
It seems I’m back in reality, judging by the fact that I can speak as I please.
“Heynaaaaa!”
Rose hugged me tightly, her eyes overflowing with tears.
“Huwaa, I was so scared. I thought Heyna was going to die like this…”
What is all this?
I calmly tried to sort out the situation.
I was caught by Jessie and fell into the current room, where I lost consciousness in the water. And I glimpsed two facts while looking into the memories of the previous round’s Heyna.
Heyna from the previous round was in a relationship with Zion, and she liked Dekir, not Zion.
That wasn’t much help in terms of seeing the ending, but it was still important information. If I know what happened to Hyna in the previous round, maybe I can figure out why she became the villain.
‘I must have been unconscious the whole time while I was peeking into her memories.’
Then why was Dekir kissing me just now…
‘It must have been for artificial respiration.’
“Did Dekir save me?”
Rose replied with a sniffle to my question.
“Yeah. Dekir jumped right after you fell. And he came out after saving you, but…”
“Wait a minute, Rose. You just said he jumped down?”
“Yeah.”
“…You mean he just jumped down without holding onto the handrail?”
“Yeah.”
“Dekir, is that true?”
I looked at Dekir with a surprised expression. Dekir, who met my eyes, nodded innocently, as if he didn’t understand what the problem was.
“Hey, this…”
You crazy human! I barely swallowed the swear words that were about to come out of my mouth.
‘No, I can’t swear!’
The distance from the current room to the future room was quite high. Even if there was water below, you could get seriously hurt if you jumped down the wrong way.
“What were you going to do if you got hurt!”
“At that time, I didn’t think of anything other than saving you, so my body moved first.”
“Even so…”
“If the same thing happens again next time, I’ll make the same choice. Isn’t it better to try something than to do nothing and regret it?”
I agreed with the words that followed. It’s better to try something, whether it’s a success or a failure, than to do nothing and regret it.
“You guys talk a lot.”
Tommy, who was listening to our conversation, crossed his arms and sneered.
“Anyway, you’re going to come back to life even if you die. Who would think Heyna almost died for real?”
‘I almost died for real! But he won’t understand since he can come back to life anytime.’
I wanted to hit Tommy, who was talking so nonchalantly as if it wasn’t his business.
‘Calm down, calm down. Tommy is that kind of guy.’
Unlike me, who was trying hard to suppress my anger….
“Why did you protect Rose, Tommy?”
Dekir didn’t hold back.
“As you said, Tommy, you’ll come back to life even if you die, so there’s no reason to protect Rose, right? Thanks to that, you even hurt your shoulder.”
“De, Dekir, how did you…”
Tommy stammered, as if he was embarrassed.
“Tommy got hurt because of me…?”
Rose seemed to be quite embarrassed as well.
“Tommy, what’s the matter?”
“….”
Tommy avoided Rose’s question in a shy way. Was it because he hasn’t realized his own feelings yet? Or is he trying to sort out his feelings on his own, which won’t happen as planned in the original story? I don’t know which one it is, but Tommy didn’t seem to want Rose to find out about his feelings.
Tommy must be embarrassed enough as it is.
“So, Tommy. When are you going to answer the question I asked earlier?”
Dekir didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Tommy go.
“What question?”
Rose asked, noticing that it was about her. Dekir opened his mouth with a sly smile.
“Tommy, you are…”
“Okay, okay. Everyone calm down.”
Zion interrupted Dekir and intervened.
“This is not the time to be doing this. Right, Heyna?”
‘Huh? Me?’
I was surprised to be called suddenly, but thanks to that, the situation was sorted out, so I decided to agree with him.
“That’s right. Let’s talk about that later and find a way to get out of here first.”
“I agree with Heyna. We don’t have much time left, so let’s not waste time on trivial matters.”
Trivial matters. You cursed son of a gun who adds unnecessary words to irritate people.
I didn’t like Zion’s choice of words, but I didn’t have time to worry about that.
“Come to think of it, how much time do we have left?”
I had forgotten about the timer for a while because of all the crazy things that had happened since the room was revealed.
“The remaining time is…”
I opened the timer interface that had been closed.
[00:10]
‘We’re doomed. There’s only 10 minutes left!’
