Chapter 3 – Hotel Exploration

  PlotTwistJosh

  [User: Han Ga-in (Wisdom) Date: Day 1

  Current location: Tier 1, Room 105 (Room of Rest)

  Wise Man's Advice: 2]

  It was a great meal.

  I don't really know about other foods because I only eat spaghetti and steak, but I can say that these two were delicious.

  Before the meal, my head was spinning with confusion, fear, and anger, but after eating my fill and enjoying the delicious meal, I thought, "Well, at least the food came out well, so that's okay."

  When I see things like this, I wonder if people are ultimately animals...

  Looking at everyone's expressions, it seems like their thoughts aren't that different from mine, and they all look satisfied.

  At that moment, just in case, I looked at my watch. Lunch time was from 12 to 1:30, and the current time was about 1:24.

  There are only about six minutes left until meal time ends.

  There was someone else besides me who checked their watches.

  “Well, it seems like everyone just had a quick meal, so shouldn’t we change locations?”

  “Umm... Eunsol, how about we just continue our conversation here? I think we might even have some coffee or something.”

  “We all experienced this before, right? After the meal time, we will no longer be able to see each other like before.

  It's a great hotel that protects 'privacy'. I don't know why such a great pce kidnapped us... but anyway, we still have a lot to talk about.

  “We need to move. How is Jincheol? Is your arm okay now?”

  “It’s okay now. It was just a little scratched. And I agree with what you said, sister.

  We still have a lot to decide. Starting with what to do right now... Let's move.”

  “It’s true that we should move, but where should we go? If we go outside, that monster will be there again, and inside the room, everyone will disappear again at 1:30...”

  At that moment, a guide appeared.

  Dear guests! How was your meal? Hotel Pioneer prepares fresh ingredients every day to provide our guests with excellent meals, and our carefully selected chefs prepare the food.

  I hope you always have a pleasant meal.

  Today's surprise event: There are no bad animals in the world. has ended.

  Everyone was momentarily speechless.

  “This is a very timely reminder for our conversation.”

  “Very... opportune. At this point, it feels like something in this hotel is watching us at every moment.

  “The event ended as if it had been waiting for me to talk about monsters... Does that mean it’s safe outside now?”

  “There are no bad animals. If a monkey wielding a knife and running wild trying to eat people isn’t a bad animal, then what is?

  “This hotel is really going crazy. What on earth did you do to come to a pce like this?”

  “Animals are originally afraid of people and sometimes become somewhat violent.

  “Rather than being evil and violent, it’s more like they’re acting out of fear and being aggressive in their defense? Something like that...”

  Do you like animals? Songi's answer is somewhat unexpected.

  “No, what Songi-yang thinks of as ‘defensive behavior’ includes a monkey stabbing my arm with a knife? Is there such a ‘defense’ in the world?”

  When Mr. Cha Jin-cheol, who already seemed intimidating with his size, raised his voice, Song-i, who had seemed timid to begin with, shrank back again, feeling like a turtle.

  When he saw that, Cha Jin-cheol couldn't hide his embarrassment.

  “Huh... No, I mean, that’s just what I said. No... No, I guess my voice was a bit loud.

  “I’m sorry. I got stabbed earlier and just thinking about the monkey made me a little angry… I didn’t say anything to Songi.”

  It seems like this guy has a better personality than I thought.

  “Come on! There’s only about a minute left. Let’s all get up and go! Let’s go out and talk.”

  At some point, Eunsol started shouting confidently, like the leader of the group.

  It was very natural and I didn't feel any resistance. It's not just a matter of this older sister being the oldest among us.

  Something... I got the feeling that this person was used to taking control of and leading others.

  At Eunsol's shout, everyone naturally got up and went out of the restaurant, then opened the door to room 105.

  [I understood a little about my colleagues.]

  It's clean.

  Surprisingly, the outside was very clean.

  Clearly, I fought the monsters in the morning, throwing all sorts of things at both the monsters and people...

  Are you saying that all the 'embarrassing employees' have been cleaned up in the meantime?

  In fact, the traces of that brawl were not something that could be resolved with some kind of 'cleaning' and seemed to require major repairs.

  It's refreshing. Now there's no need to question every strange thing.

  As we walked towards the front, we saw drinks and snacks set up on a table opposite the front.

  The number of people was just right, and there was a mix of coffee, juice, and soda, as if they had considered people with different tastes.

  “Haha… These people are really meticulous. How embarrassed do these meticulous people have that they can’t even show a single hair on their head?

  “There are more than one or two things I would ask you, even if I had to grab you by the colr and shake you.”

  “This taste is more than absurd... it’s kind of creepy.”

  “Does it taste strange, Eunsol?”

  “It’s not weird, it’s just the taste I like. The sugar ratio, the amount of milk… maybe even the type of coffee beans.

  As soon as I saw it, I couldn't believe it because the color was so familiar to me. You guys should take a look too.

  I think the drink you're most looking for is just right!

  For me, this isn't such a bad situation because I can drink Pepsi Zero Lime right away anyway.

  Anyway, isn't eating and drinking delicious food a good thing? I don't want to think about it any deeper.

  After slowly rexing over a drink, the conversation started with Cha Jin-cheol, as expected.

  “I still don’t know what’s going on, but… I’ve been having trouble getting a signal on my phone for a while now. Is it the same for all of them?”

  Everyone nodded.

  “As expected... I think I’ve only seen this kind of thing in articles reted to the National Disaster Management Agency, but I never thought I’d get involved.

  First of all, isn't everyone's goal to somehow get out?

  Let’s start from the main gate. In fact, it doesn’t seem like they’ll let you go easily in this situation, but we need to check what we can.”

  Luckily, there was a rough diagram of the building next to the front desk, but it wasn't too complicated.

  We all went down half a floor from the front desk, turned left, and walked down the hallway. We saw the main entrance on the other side.

  And when we arrived at the main gate, we were all once again speechless.

  It's the sky.

  It was really the sky. Outside the door, there was only a clear blue sky, and clouds could be seen far below. The ground was so far away that it was barely visible.

  The moment I opened the door and was about to take a peek underneath, the arm went off.

  [Opening the door in heaven without tools is suicide]

  “Ah... Ah... They said not to open the door.”

  “Gain, were you really going to open the door? You can’t open the window on an airpne, so of course you can’t open the door in the sky. I thought you were just going near the door.”

  “Hahaha... That’s right. It was such an absurd situation that I didn’t even realize it.”

  “No, really… Is this hotel like a flying machine? I’ve never imagined anything like this in my life.”

  Eunsol, with her dazed expression, also agreed.

  “I used to think that I had lived well, eaten well, traveled abroad a lot, and seen a lot of new and interesting things until this age, but I guess I lived in vain. I saw something so ridiculous.”

  “At least you can’t get out of here. Not unless you have wings. Haha, I never imagined Jeju Isnd would be such a great isnd. There’s a flying hotel.”

  “Hey! What does it say here?”

  When everyone turned around at Songi's voice, they saw strange graffiti carved into the wall to the right of the main entrance.

  

  What the heck. Escape route 2? So there's also 1?

  No, but rather, the main gate is one of the real escape routes? And what is that 'special tool' behind it?

  Is it possible to go to a pce like this without becoming a flying tool?

  Also, who wrote this inscription? I have a feeling it wasn't a hotel.

  Looking at the past methods, hotels did not convey information 'this way'.

  Is there anyone else in this hotel besides us? It's starting to feel a little creepy.

  I immediately conveyed the thought that occurred to me.

  “It says escape route 2. 1 is definitely there, and if you do well, 3, 4, or 5 are there too, right?

  At least... there seems to be an easier way than finding a way to fly.”

  I decided to leave aside the question of who did the graffiti. There are already so many creepy things going on that I don't want to make the atmosphere even creepier.

  “I feel a little better after hearing that. For now, let’s go back to where we were drinking coffee earlier. The shy employee was okay with pouring coffee.”

  Although they had some idea, when the quick escape was foiled, everyone returned to the table feeling a bit empty.

  The table where everyone had eaten and drunk as if it were a given was neatly set up again with drinks and snacks as if nothing had happened.

  This time, no one said anything new or surprising.

  This time, I spoke first.

  “First of all, how about we walk around the hotel and take a look at the yout? There was something a bit strange when I looked at this yout a little while ago.”

  “I felt something was wrong. What happened?”

  “There are no stairs. The floor pn shows the basement, first floor, second floor, third floor, and even a gym, a swimming pool, and all sorts of other facilities, but absurdly, there are not a single staircase.

  There's only an elevator. Well, it's rare to use stairs in a hotel, but usually there's an emergency staircase, right?

  “There must be an emergency staircase on the structural diagram for things like fires and earthquakes, but I can’t see it.”

  A response came immediately from Jincheol Cha, who stood up immediately and examined the structural diagram.

  “Really? There are no stairs at all. There are no stairs with the red markings on them that indicate that you should escape here in case of an emergency, as if that person is running.”

  “Um... Whatever we do, we should at least have a rough idea of the yout of this hotel. First, after we finish drinking, let’s get up and walk around to see if there’s anything out of the ordinary.

  Oh, and if possible, let's all go together. Something... feels off. It doesn't seem like a pce you'd go alone."

  After Sister Eunsol finished summarizing the situation, we all got up and decided to search the hotel.

  After about an hour and a half of searching, the following conclusions were reached.

  1. There are various convenience facilities in the basement, the first floor is the front desk, slightly downstairs there are the main entrance and 'small' rooms, the second floor has 'medium-sized rooms', and the third floor has 'rge rooms'. 2. There are no stairs in this building.

  3. The only means of moving between floors is the elevator.
