I Think I’m a Horror Game Villain - Chapter 77
Chapter 77
“Tommy, would you mind pushing that wall over there?”
“Why should I suddenly push the wall?”
“Hurry!”
Tommy pushed the wall, looking confused.
“Huh?”
“How is it? Does it move?”
“…It seems to be moving as you said.”
“Is that really true, Tommy?”
“Why don’t you try pushing that side too?”
At Tommy’s words, Zion pushed the wall with all his might.
“It really is.”
“Heyna, I think this wall is moving too!”
“Here too.”
Rose and Dekir said one after another. Thanks to that, I was convinced.
“Perhaps all the walls in this room are designed to be pushed.”
The hint that the future is everywhere meant this. The future, that is, the way out is everywhere, so it means to create your own path by pushing the walls yourself.
“Heyna, how did you know you could push the wall?”
Zion asked suspiciously, and I calmly explained.
“When Tommy hit the wall just now, it sounded like it was empty inside. So I thought the wall wouldn’t be blocked.”
At my words, Tommy hit the wall again.
Thud―!
As soon as he heard the sound, Rose’s eyes widened and she exclaimed.
“It’s true! Just like Heyna said, the wall sounds empty!”
“That’s right. Heyna, you have a really good ear.”
Zion nodded with a convinced expression.
“Then, if we push this wall, we can get out?”
Rose asked with a hopeful face.
“I’m not sure, but I think so.”
At my words, Zion rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
“How about we all push one place together?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Tommy, Dekir. Come this way.”
Following Zion’s instructions, Tommy and Dekir stood beside him.
“I’ll help too.”
I also moved to where Zion was.
“Rose, aren’t you coming?”
Tommy raised his eyebrows and called out to Rose, who was alone.
“…Why, why should I do that? That’s something men should do… I’m weak, so I wouldn’t be of much help….”
“Then just keep watching from there.”
After the two finished talking, we started pushing the wall according to Zion’s shouts.
Creak―
The wall moved little by little with the sound of concrete rubbing. The wall was heavier than it looked, so it took a lot of effort to push it with four people.
“It’s not moving as well as I thought. How much have we pushed it now?”
Tommy, whose face was flushed red with effort, asked Zion.
“I think it’s been pushed about 5 centimeters now.”
“What? Only 5 centimeters?”
“Yes. Judging from the marks on the floor, it’s about that much.”
“Huh. How long do we have to keep pushing this?”
“Well, I don’t know that either.”
At my words, Tommy’s gaze turned to me. I looked away involuntarily at his eyes that seemed to demand an answer.
In fact, it was not yet certain whether we could escape from this place by pushing the wall. The fact that pushing the wall was the escape method was just my inference based on the hint.
How long do we have to push this big, heavy wall? And will there be an exit at the end?
I wanted to ask the system that gave me the hint, if only I could.
While I was speechless and hesitant…
“Let’s take a break first.”
Dekir spoke up.
“What? You’re already going to rest after pushing that much?”
“I choked on some water earlier, so I don’t have much stamina left.”
“Are you saying you’re a noble who grew up nicely?”
Tommy grumbled and sat down with a thud. Following him, Zion also sighed heavily and leaned against the wall.
‘Thank goodness.’
Thanks to Dekir, I was able to avoid answering Tommy’s question.
“Heyna.”
Dekir whispered to me only.
“I also think we can escape from here if we push this wall. And even if that method is wrong, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to feel guilty.”
“….”
My heart ached at Dekir’s words that it was not my fault.
“Thank you, Dekir.”
“You’re welcome. But Heyna, you look tired. Why don’t you go rest next to Rose? The three of us can push the wall enough.”
“No, Dekir. I’m still okay. And I was the one who said to push the wall. I don’t think I’ll be of much help, but I want to help at least a little.”
“I knew you’d say that.”
Dekir smiled and gently patted my head.
‘What? I’m not a child! I wouldn’t like this….’
Contrary to my thoughts, my heart was beating honestly.
It’s embarrassing to be excited about just having my head patted in this urgent situation. I guess I really like Dekir.
I couldn’t help it.
Every time he helps me like this, sees through my heart, and says what I want to hear. How could I not like him?
“What are you two whispering about over there? Hey, stop flirting.”
Tommy looked disgusted as he watched me and Dekir.
“No matter how much you won’t die, aren’t you too relaxed? If you have the energy to flirt, push the wall again.”
That wasn’t wrong, even though I felt bad about it.
‘Yeah. I shouldn’t be flirting with Dekir right now.’
There were two minutes left.
It was true that having one more life gave me some leeway. But that didn’t mean I wanted to die.
I couldn’t just throw away the life I had earned. Besides, I didn’t want to see Jessie again.
“Hey!”
Rose, who had been squatting on the floor, slowly approached me.
“I’ll do it with you.”
