# 105 – Nightmare Brawl # 3

Lim Huiyeon was truly dead.

It seemed she had suffered a concussion when her head hit the floor after being struck by Yang Juhui’s fist.

Gong Yerin, who had been hit on the head with a bat by Yu Dahui, was still alive.

Judging by her raspy breathing, she appeared to be unconscious.

Jeongseok, who had been collapsed throughout the fight, got up with blood streaming from both nostrils.

He looked at the dead Lim Huiyeon and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

“We killed someone.”

He was right.

We had just committed murder.

Yang Juhui said.

“They were trying to kill us too. If we hadn’t killed her, we would’ve died.”

“That’s true. Maybe it’s because this place is fundamentally a dream. Strangely, I don’t feel much guilt about killing someone. Ugh.”

Jeongseok, who had been speaking well, suddenly showed symptoms of nausea.

He might have suffered brain damage after being hit hard in the face with the bat.

But I wasn’t in any position to worry about others.

“The knife…!”

I had been stabbed with a knife.

A box cutter was still menacingly embedded in the upper left side of my chest.

It hurt so much that tears welled up, and I felt my blood boiling and then turning cold.

“I got stabbed! Aaah!”

“Yeongwon, are you okay?”

Yu Dahui dropped her bat and approached me.

She examined my wound and then suddenly yanked the box cutter out.

“Ouch!”

It hurt so much.

Yang Juhui frowned at me.

“Hey, stop making such a fuss since you’re not dying. Do you think it’s easy to pierce someone’s ribs and stab their heart with a box cutter? You just injured some muscle. You won’t die from this.”

Yang Juhui was right.

It could be considered just a surface wound with no damage to internal organs.

But this was my first time being stabbed, and I was just sad and confused.

Rustle, rustle.

Yang Juhui rummaged through Gong Yerin and Lim Huiyeon’s pockets and bags.

A lighter, bandages, a compass, and a water bottle emerged from the girls’ pockets and bags.

“Oh, nice loot.”

Yang Juhui seemed pleased with all the items she had acquired.

She brought over the rolled-up bandages and handed them to me.

“Hey, wrap this around yourself. Take off your shirt.”

I tried to take off my school uniform shirt, but I kept flinching because of the pain.

Then Kwon Sua, who had been cowering, spoke up as if gathering courage.

“…I’ll help you!”

With Kwon Sua’s help, I was able to take off my clothes.

My upper body was soaked with blood from the wound, and it was a terrifying sight.

“Ugh, I can’t look.”

“Aish, what a crybaby.”

Yang Juhui began efficiently wrapping the bandage around my body.

I was surprised by how smoothly she did it. She seemed familiar with bandaging. Perhaps she had experience treating minor injuries from all the fights she’d been in.

But something strange happened after she finished wrapping the bandage.

Ssss-.

My chest wound felt extremely itchy, and then it healed completely in an instant.

Could wounds recover this quickly?

“Wow, these weren’t ordinary bandages.”

I was amazed that my wound had healed cleanly, leaving only a 1cm scar.

The bandages, having served their purpose, turned to powder and disappeared with a soft hiss.

Truly amazing things were happening in this nightmare corridor.

Anyway.

With my wound healed, my mind cleared up as well.

I looked at Gong Yerin and Lim Huiyeon again.

Lim Huiyeon was dead.

They attacked us first, so this was unavoidable.

From the beginning, they were murderers.

According to Kwon Sua, they were psychopathic high school girls who had killed two people just today.

I had even been directly stabbed with a knife.

In other words, they deserved to die.

“Still, it’s fortunate that Gong Yerin is still alive. We can ask her various questions. Should we tie her hands or feet? She might cause trouble when she wakes up.”

I thought it would be good to restrain Gong Yerin, who had been knocked unconscious by Yu Dahui’s bat.

Soon, Jeongseok pointed at Lim Huiyeon.

“Then how about we strip Lim Huiyeon and use her clothes to tie her hands and feet?”

It was a good idea.

While Yang Juhui, Yu Dahui, and Kwon Sua were stripping Lim Huiyeon, Jeongseok and I turned to face the wall, averting our eyes from the high school girl being undressed.

During that time, we had a brief conversation.

“What the hell is going on? I got stabbed.”

“I got hit on the head with a bat too. I didn’t expect them to attack suddenly. They were looking at that compass and then their attitude suddenly changed. And they seemed somewhat familiar with this corridor.”

Despite being hit on the head, Jeongseok’s analysis was still functioning well.

“It’s heavier than I thought. A human body. Hey, you guys can turn around now.”

The undressing of Lim Huiyeon and hiding her body had been completed.

They had put Lim Huiyeon’s body in a nearby locker.

They also tightly bound Gong Yerin’s hands and feet using Lim Huiyeon’s school uniform shirt and skirt.

I wondered what would happen next.

“Hey, wake up.”

Slap, slap-.

When Yang Juhui slapped her cheeks, Gong Yerin frowned.

“Ugh-.”

Gong Yerin regained consciousness.

She was greatly shocked to see us.

“You… who are you! What did you do to me! Let me go! Untie me aaaargh!”

“Be quiet. We’ll be asking the questions.”

Jeongseok held the lit lighter close to Gong Yerin’s face.

Whether she was afraid of the blinding light or feared getting burned, Gong Yerin pulled her head back.

We decided that Jeongseok would handle the interrogation.

However, I found the current situation surreal and felt like we were doing something wrong.

Tying up a girl our age and interrogating her harshly.

If this were reality, it wouldn’t be strange to see it on the 9 o’clock news.

“You and Lim Huiyeon. What’s going on? How did you get into this old school building? If you don’t tell us honestly… you might end up like Lim Huiyeon.”

Jeongseok spoke coldly.

He was ice-cold.

Of course, having shared many emotions with him, I could tell that his voice was trembling.

After all, a first-year high school boy wouldn’t be accustomed to threatening and interrogating a female classmate. This situation must be unfamiliar and nerve-wracking for Jeongseok too.

Soon, Gong Yerin began thrashing about as if having a seizure.

“Huiyeon! Huiyeon! You killed Huiyeon! You murderers! You criminals! You murderous bastards! Save Huiyeon! Huiyeon!”

Thrash, thrash, thrash-.

Gong Yerin was almost half-crazed.

However, Kwon Sua, who had been mostly terrified since entering the corridor, found courage from somewhere and delivered a sharp rebuke.

“I… I saw it! These people killing people! They told me they would help me get out of this place, told me to stay still, then approached and beat them to death with a bat! We could have died too! They’re the murderers! We were just defending ourselves!”

With Kwon Sua’s detailed explanation, Gong Yerin’s thrashing gradually subsided.

Her eyes, which had been pretending to be a victim and feigning ignorance in panic until just now, turned cold, and the corners of her mouth twisted cynically.

“Yes, I killed them. So what?”

A chill ran down my spine.

Was this really the behavior of a high school girl who had attended the same class with us for a semester?

In some ways, Gong Yerin was more chilling than the ghosts I had seen in the old school building.

“I didn’t lie? I let you out of here. I don’t know if you know this, but this is a place you can only leave by dying. I was just helping poor people get out of here, okay?”

“Wow, this girl is shamelessly lying. Wow, it gives me goosebumps. Are you really a psychopath?”

Yang Juhui stuck out her tongue.

Even to the taekwondo girl Yang Juhui, Gong Yerin’s current attitude seemed somewhat shocking.

We all lost our words for a moment, and only Jeongseok regained his composure first and asked Gong Yerin.

“That’s not what I asked. Tell us how you got in here. And explain everything you know about this place.”

“Fuck off. If you untie me first, I’ll tell you everything. Aren’t you ashamed as a man to tie up a woman? You’re looking at my chest right now! You pervert! Aaaah!”

“Ugh….”

The cold and harsh Jeongseok stepped back as if disgusted by Gong Yerin’s fierce attitude.

Though he had always spoken like a cold boy, he seemed to shrink in various ways when faced with the ‘real thing.’ At that moment, Yu Dahui, holding the bat, struck Gong Yerin’s head again.

“…Be quiet!”

Thud-!

“Ow!”

Gong Yerin, fallen to the floor, glared and shouted.

“That hurts! What are you doing, you crazy bitch! You fucking bitch!”

“You haven’t done anything right either. Why did you go around killing people? The excuse about letting people out is just that, an excuse, right? There was another reason? If you don’t talk, I’ll hit you again.”

Grip-.

Yu Dahui tightened her grip on the bat.

“I can do worse than hitting. You have no idea what people can do to survive. I don’t give second warnings.”

Unlike her usually cheerful demeanor, Yu Dahui’s behavior was somewhat unfamiliar.

I thought this corridor was driving people crazy.

This dark, damp place was making everyone strange.

“Guys, wait a minute. Let me try.”

I thought I should calm the unpredictable atmosphere.

So I took the bat from Yu Dahui’s hand and made Jeongseok, who was holding the lighter, step back.

“Yerin, I can see you have quite a personality. Can you just tell me one thing truthfully? Is Wang Jahyeon involved in this?”

“…No, I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

Gong Yerin’s pupils shook greatly.

No matter how lethal and cunning Gong Yerin tried to appear, she was just a high school girl. Judging by her reaction, her complexion was changing like someone who had been caught off guard.

“So there is some connection with Wang Jahyeon. Then I don’t need to ask you anything; I’ll just ask him directly. Let’s see what happens in reality. You’ll probably forget everything.”

Slide-.

I got up from my seat and pretended to say to Yang Juhui.

“Then Juhui, let’s send her out too.”

“Should we? Actually, I’ve been thinking Gong Yerin has been too cocky lately and wanted to teach her a lesson. Come here.”

Yang Juhui was flexing her fists.

Soon, Gong Yerin had a fit.

“It has nothing to do with Jahyeon! If you harm Jahyeon, I’ll really kill you! Who are you guys anyway! What are you trying to do! Suddenly appearing and what!”
