Chapter 340 – Chapter 340 Yggdrasil (3-48)
Min Ha-yeon muttered in a low voice as he came out of the hole.
“I think it would be better not to use the hole more than necessary. Like a safe zone, I use it only when I need it.”
“Yes.”
At Min Ha-yeon’s words, Son Hye-eun nodded her head and came out of her hole and began to examine her surroundings.
The two met while wandering around looking for other party members.
The two people who met that way immediately went around looking for other members, found a hole, entered the hole and started to see what function it had.
“I think it’s good that there are several places connected unlike the safe zone.”
“That monster… Would you like to go around?”
“….”
Min Ha-yeon could not answer easily.
No, she was screaming that her instincts didn’t answer.
The moment I spit it out of my mouth, I started to be filled with the imagination of what really happened.
Min Ha-yeon, who rose to the top as an archery player, has lived her life listening to each such proverb.
Thanks to that, the moment she said her words, she was in a state of fear that it would be true.
She turned her words to Hyeeun’s answer and started to look around the large tunnels.
“Let’s find another party member first.”
“… Yes.”
Son Hye-eun nodded her head trembling in fear and began to look around her.
“There is a hole there too. Looking at the number of holes, it doesn’t seem that difficult….”
“No.”
“… ?”
Son Hye-eun tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand even though she looked at the various holes, and waited for an explanation in silence.
Min Ha-yeon immediately began to explain.
“You can’t just count the number of holes. We need to tie all the passageways connected to the hole into one.”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it. It was clearly expressed as a collapse in words.”
“Yes, that’s how the notice came… Ah! Then!”
“It’s a story that when we go into one hole, all of the passages count down and collapse at once.”
Hye-eun Son, who had the complacency to waste her time wandering between the aisles, immediately lowered her head and began to put on a look of despair.
Each safe zone was intuitively visible and clearly visible to the eye, but there was no guarantee that it was safe just because there were a lot of holes.
What if you are in an emergency situation, and someone has already taken advantage of the hole and you have less than 10 seconds left?
It will feel like real despair is right in front of you.
After Min Ha-yeon finished her explanation, she could see an alarm that suddenly popped up.
=====
1:20:00
Survivors: 7
[Eyes of Death], [Nose of Death], [Ears of Death]
Death ears have been activated. Death now begins to detect you not only by sight and smell, but also by sound.
=====
As soon as Min Ha-yeon saw her hologram notification, she sighed heavily.
“Ha….”
A hologram appeared saying that something unknown had been activated from earlier, but the two were able to roughly understand what that expression was.
At the end of the defense, a monster that suddenly became a huge jewel.
A monster with three heads in the shape of a dog or a wolf, far exceeding the size of a building.
Min Ha-yeon thought that death, which her notifications indicated, would refer to the monster.
When Min Ha-yeon was looking at her hologram with a serious expression, Son Hye-eun also looked at her in the air and muttered.
“Also… Are you going to face that monster?”
“….”
This time, Min Ha-yeon did not answer easily.
“Quickly find others.”
It was the moment when he tried to lead Son Hye-eun by taking the lead instead of answering.
“Yes?”
I could see Hanbom coming out of the hole on the far side.
Hanbom came out of a hole about 50 meters away.
Min Ha-yeon, who normally had good eyesight, saw Hanbom from a distance as clearly as a person standing in front of her.
“Spring!!”
“Sister? Sister!”
Han Bom looked around her at Min Ha-yeon’s cry, found her, and was about to run to her.
Coo kung… Cuckoo… Cuckoo coo coo!
Earthquake… No, the feast of fast-approaching footsteps began to follow.
“Well, something is coming!”
“Oh, sister!”
“Spring! Don’t come here! Hide there!”
Min Ha-yeon was sure.
The fact that the approaching existence will arrive much faster than the meeting between Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom, scattering the aftermath of the earthquake that is now being heard….
“Hurry! Hide quickly!”
“Ah Okay!”
At Min Ha-yeon’s screaming cry, Hanbom came to her senses and hid in the hole she came out of.
“Spring! Don’t stay here waiting for me, run away to another place as much as possible! Hurry!”
(Okay!)
Min Ha-yeon began to feel relieved at Han Bom’s voice.
But her relief did not last long.
Son Hye-eun grabbed the arm of Min Ha-yeon, who kept shouting at Han Bom, and began to pull.
“Ha, Ha-yeon! Let’s go in quickly!”
“Oops!”
It was at that moment when Min Ha-yeon was hurriedly grabbed by Son Hye-eun’s arm and dragged into her hole.
“Uh… Whoops!”
Coo kung! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!!!
She saw a scene she shouldn’t have seen.
A gigantic monster from afar, as large as a building, whose entire body was covered with green flames.
A monster running towards the huge cave as if toppling it.
She feared even the appearance of the monster she had seen before parting ways with Seong Su-ho, but the completed form of the monster running towards her had turned into a being that chased Min Ha-yeon as if she were seeing a small insect.
Min Ha-yeon said that if it had not been for Son Hye-eun, she would have been destined to have her legs untied and torn apart by the heads of her three dogs on the spot, splitting her body into three parts.
But fortunately, thanks to Son Hye-eun, that did not happen.
“D-Come in! Ha Yeon! More inside! What, what!”
“Huh… Ha… No, that’s unbelievable….”
Within seconds of the two entering, the massive animal’s paws began scratching frantically in front of the hole.
Kwak! Kakakanghaha! Creeper!
Even while they were scratching to break through the wall, Min Ha-yeon and Son Hye-eun did not even think of running away.
“What, what… What is that, what is that….”
After Son Hye-eun dragged Min Ha-yeon into the hole, she suddenly sat down on the spot with her legs loosened at the sight of the front paws of a huge animal frantically digging through the hole.
“Do, run, run, run… I have to run….”
Tasted a different level of fear than when they saw the zombies earlier, the two of them just stared at Cerberus’ paws, losing their reason, as they continued to dig into them.
That was the moment.
[Wake!]
“Uh!?”
Min Ha-yeon was awakened by Seong Soo-ho’s sudden cry and started calling him.
“Guardian? Are you Suho?”
[Quickly wake up and run away! Hurry!]
“Uh… Uh! Ah Okay!”
Min Ha-yeon answered that, and she grabbed the arm of Son Hye-eun, who was sitting on the floor next to her in a devastated state, and began to pull.
“Run away!”
“Ha, but… Me, there… A monster, a monster!”
“Then we must run! Quickly!”
“Ah…. Ah! Yes!”
Her son, Hye-eun, came to her senses with a flash of her Min-ha-yeon’s scream and started following her into her dark hole.
***
[I was evacuated once. You can rest assured.]
‘Well done!’
I was relieved to hear Armonia’s words.
Hearing the urgent situation of Min Ha-yeon and Son Hye-eun, I asked Armonia to send my voice via telecommunication.
Fortunately, if Armonia was available, she decided that it would be better to mobilize everything as much as possible, so she agreed and delivered my voice.
[I think it’s better to pretend you don’t know later.]
‘Yeah, don’t worry. I’m good at acting.’
We were able to secure Min Ha-yeon’s safety.
Fortunately, there was still time left in the hole where Min Ha-yeon was.
If there was not much time left in the hole she was sitting in, she thought to warp boldly.
It was unknown whether Armonia would allow that part….
‘It’s going to get harder and harder.’
At first, he walked slowly, but when he started to smell, he picked up speed, and using his hearing, he began to sense his position with great speed.
[Probably, when the sense of smell is activated, it mainly detects the route passed, but when the sense of hearing is activated, it seems to detect the approximate location. You should be careful.]
‘I’m at this level right now, but I’m worried about what will come out later….’
It was still only 40 minutes had passed.
However, the fact that it continues to change every 20 minutes meant that there was a high possibility that the ability would bloom again in the second half.
‘We have to gather quickly.’
Unlike Shockby, it was advantageous to have as many people as possible during the boss fight now.
There were conspicuously many safe zones in the forest where the boss fight on the 0th floor took place, but it was equipped with a function to manufacture ragtags called limiting the number of people.
So, even if they wanted to go together, there were inevitable situations in which they abandoned their allies in the middle.
But here it was different.
No matter how many people were in the hole, it was allowed.
In other words, the later we gather, the more….
‘… It means that the probability of dying will increase significantly.’
The remaining hole will collapse in vain, leaving no place to hide.
Clearly, if the place was made like this, the number of holes would not have been made comfortably.
As for other humans, our party had the best passive skill in the current situation.
[I can’t confirm the exact fork in the hole, but if you turn left, it’s the point where it intersects with Hanbom.]
‘Great!’
I said to Park Jin-hee and Park Sun-hee, who were immediately following me.
“Let’s go left.”
“Yes.”
The two of them showed no signs of doubt or anxiety about my instructions.
When I asked to go, he just nodded and answered.
Proceeding that way, we saw a bright hole and decided to get out.
The reason was simple.
“That’s fortunate. Because there are only three minutes left in this hole. Go out and go back to the big aisle.”
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“Once you get out, check the other hole right away and proceed.”
Recklessly going into a hole is a bad idea, but leaving a hole and dying without being able to use it was a mistake beyond a bad idea.
As soon as we got out like that, we immediately looked for the hole, and found it at some distance.
“First of all, we will proceed to not use the hole as much as possible.”
“Yes… But you are amazing.”
“Yes?”
It was a sudden outrageous thing, so she wanted something, so she turned her head and Park Seon-hee walked next to her and started talking.
“Right now, not only us, but other people must be terribly terrified. Suho doesn’t show any fear at all.”
Haha… No way I’m scared too.”
“At least you’re not trembling like we are. If it wasn’t for Suho earlier, we would have been sitting there like fools and he would have died.”
“It’s always like that at first.”
I smiled and gratefully received Park Sun-hee’s compliment.
But why did I suddenly want to express my gratitude in this situation, there was a reason.
“And I’m sorry.”
“Yes? What?”
At first, I wondered if I had made a mistake, but the reason for the apology had nothing to do with the current situation.
Her apology was about the past.
“When I first met Suho… You were too indifferent.”
In fact, as Park Seon-hee said, not only her, but also Son Hye-eun and Park Jin-hee, who went with her, had similar attitudes.
Even after going through several regressions, the beginning has not changed.
Although I didn’t have a big contact point in the last episode, it was because it was true that I didn’t pay attention to me at all in the end.
It could be said to be an area of indifference.
“It is our first meeting. It is natural to be vigilant.”
“… But now that I think about it, I think it was too shameless.”
At first, the trio was indifferent to me, but after coming up to the first floor and seeing my skills, they started to close the distance from then on.
I stayed still, but the girls were indifferent on their own, and then came on their own.
I had no intention of blaming it.
Because people cannot know everything in a short meeting, and human relationships are always changing.
“Don’t think so. I also had such an experience. There were people who distanced themselves thinking it was not very important.”
“OMG? Are you Suho? Can’t you imagine?”
“I think Suho will accept this person and that person for some reason.”
After receiving the compliments from Park Jin-hee and Park Sun-hee with a smile, the story continued.
“I am not necessarily like that. But one thing is important.”
“… ?”
“It means there were people who went through that relationship and then established a better relationship.”
“Aha!”
A relationship in which you become close and depend on each other without any information from the beginning?
I don’t think there is any relationship as dangerous as that.
The trio must have already experienced it and know it.
It is midsummer.
Human beings who showed themselves that they could end up in catastrophe if they became too close just by looking at each other without knowing anything at first.
Not all humans are like that, but it was important for humans to approach slowly while keeping a distance.
Park Seon-hee smiled dejectedly and opened her mouth.
“Because of this, I regret it even more. We didn’t get to know each other quickly.”
“Me too… Hayeon, I envy you.”
Haha….”
Perhaps the trio are already aware of the relationship between me, Min Ha-yeon, and Midsummer.
Even if you want to pretend you don’t know, you won’t be able to know.
When the three of them see it, the relationship between Hayeon Min and I will look strange.
It must feel like a sudden change.
However, I can’t tell you about regression, so I’ll just think that Min Ha-yeon and I are in a relationship where love was born accidentally by playing with fire.
It was when I was walking for such a long time.
‘Armonia, how are Hayeon and Bom located?’
[It’s not that far from Hanbom. However, Min Ha-yeon is taking the opposite route from her.]
‘… It would be a way to lure them to us after spring meets soon.’
Considering Cerberus’ movement speed, it would not be safe to be far away, but at least a group would be easier to lure.
If he went to Min Ha-yeon’s side, there could be a difficult situation to deal with.
‘Armonia. Can I ask for a favor in the worst case?’
[… Please keep in mind that warp is a total of two times. Also, amnesia can be erased with Enel, but please keep in mind that the cost is high.]
‘Yeah, thank you.’
Armonia hurriedly wrote an expression of permission to me.
In any case, I wanted to avoid the situation where Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom died.
In my opinion, I want to kill time after warping everything and come back later, but I wasn’t in a position to tell the girls my position right now.
You may think it’s an easy path, but in the end, you’ll walk the worst path.
It was the moment I thought so.
