The exposed concrete and steel structure repeat infinitely.

I ran endlessly inside the long building.

Behind him, Park Seong-jin is chasing after him at breakneck speed.

“7 To do this, hold a reverse knife and cut to squeeze out the artery. People surrounded it and tried to survive. For the ceremony-”

Looking at what he says, he seems to have completely lost his senses.

It is impossible to hide due to the structure of the building. You have no choice but to keep going inside.

“Why does it keep being a straight line?”

“For now, just keep running!”

“Can’t we just fight?”

thud.

Heo Yoon kept his mouth shut when he heard the sound coming from behind him.

“Crazy.”

With one swing of the paru, the wall collapses and the surrounding windows break.

The dark red liquid that continued to flow from Park Seong-jin’s body began to move as if it had will.

“What happened… Is it true that something like that can happen with just one meme killer…?”

Taking a deep breath, I told him what I had learned before.

“It’s not just about being a meme killer.”

“What?”

“They say it’s about planting a ritual in the head that calls out something, but usually people can’t handle the ritual process and end up harming themselves and dying…”

“Not that guy?”

“Yes. I think so. Seeing that he is alive and well until now.”

“I’m still doing that right now. What happens if I bring it into my consciousness?”

Before Heo Yoon asks a question, he quickly exhales.

Unlike Park Seong-jin, who was getting increasingly brighter, we were slowly getting tired.

“Sister! There’s a road over there!”

“Huh?”

To the left of the endlessly repeating straight space, there is an alley that turns inward.

There is a path behind the fallen vending machine. There is a placard hanging above it.

[Beverage Factory]

Heo Yoon, who was running in the lead, changed direction.

“Let’s go in there.”

I feel bad.

The words came out without me even realizing it.

“Really?”

“If you keep running in a straight line, you will get caught anyway. Better hide over there.”

“That’s true, but…”

Crispy!

Debris flies from afar and hits the ground.

Like a baseball pitcher, Park Seong-jin was throwing a rock the size of his head.

“Crazy man, really!!!”

Quang!

There is no other way.

When you turn and enter the alley, you will see another door at the end of the street.

“Dabin! Run!!!”

Heo Yoon and Choi Se-rim are already holding on to the door.

Is it true that my stamina has decreased since I became a woman? I was already lagging behind at the end.

“Heo Eok. omg. Wow…”

It felt like I was going to collapse at any moment, but I gritted my teeth and ran to the inside.

Heo Yoon closes the door with all his might and turns the handle to lock it tightly.

For a while, all you can hear is the sound of breathing.

The cells in my head are screaming, and it feels like the inside of my chest is burning with every breath.

“……Sister. Shall I turn on the flashlight?”

“Not yet.”

Choi Se-rim takes out a flashlight and Heo Yoon shakes his head.

“Before the uncle comes, it would be worth it for us to get used to the darkness first.”

As they say, your eyes gradually become accustomed to the darkness.

Surrounded by an old food factory.

The paint on the walls is yellowing. The white tile floor is covered in sticky liquid here and there, making a clicking sound every time you walk.

“Dabin. What was written on the placard earlier?”

“The factory. Beverage factory.”

“Factory…Then is there room to hide behind machines or something?”

ha. ha…

Choi Se-rim, who was breathing heavily while speaking, glanced back.

“Dabin.”

“……Yes.”

“How about over there?”

“Control room?”

“Yes.”

This time Heo Yoon intervened.

“Maybe it’s locked?”

My heart was still beating very fast, but not to the point where I couldn’t move. I got up and headed toward the back door.

“I will check.”

“Go together. Don’t fall alone.”

Heo Yoon stood in front of me, and Choi Se-rim followed next to me.

“Let’s go, Dabin.”

Sigh-

Fortunately, the door was open. The moment I was just about to open the warehouse door.

Rattle rattle rattle!

Seongjin Park arrived at the door.

Heo Yoon runs out immediately.

“I’ll come see you!”

Soon, a voice full of astonishment is heard.

“Break down the door with a paru? Does this make sense?”

Kaang! Kang!

A sharp sound mixed with the sound of metal crushing.

If things continue like this, it’s only a matter of time before they get caught. I need to do something quickly. What do we do?

No matter how much you think about it, fighting back is impossible. Two women. Plus, I also have a female body now. Inside the elevator, the people who were murdered by Park Seong-jin were piled up like a mountain. How do you beat a monster that smashes iron doors with a wooden spoon?

In the darkness, Choi Se-rim quietly pointed to a corner of the warehouse.

“That.”

valve. And pipes.

I followed the PVC pipes extending throughout the factory with my eyes. All the pipes come together and connect to one point on the wall. no way.

“Is there a water tank behind the wall?”

“I think so.”

To be exact, what I thought was a tank wall was a huge water tank.

“Sister. Flashlight.”

When light shines on it, a shadow of the water appears inside. The dirty tank was filled with beverage concentrate.

This is it. Maybe something can be done?

The round toothed valve was held tightly.

“Wait a minute. Are you going to play that right away? Won’t we be swept away too?”

Now that I think about it, the first ones to be swept away are us standing close to the warehouse. Wouldn’t it be easier to get caught by being swept out to the entrance?

“And the density of the concentrate is higher than expected. If you pour all that out, it will turn into a swamp.”

It’s a swamp…

“Sister. There was a table outside, right?”

“Yes.”

“Please collect the items in front of the door with Yuni. As much as possible.”

“Okay.”

Kwasik! Kaang!

Along with the back of Choi Se-rim running quickly, the situation outside comes into view.

Now the iron gate is almost completely torn off, leaving the outside visible. The warehouse, which was dark just a moment ago, has now become brighter thanks to the light coming in.

“Aren’t you crazy? Really!”

Heo Yoon screams as if he is dumbfounded. Choi Se-rim approaches and urgently conveys the plan.

“Sister. Please help me move the table.”

“Yes! I already piled it up in front of the door…”

“No. There in front of the warehouse.”

“What?”

Two people lining up a table vertically. I grabbed the valve handle and turned it as hard as I could.

Deddd-

It was so powerful that the entire warehouse shook.

First, a sweet smell fills the surrounding space. Gas is released from the sugar that has been fermented for a long time.

After a while.

The juice of the drink began to burst out from the wall with great force.

Delicious orange color. Is it caramel liquid?

Slap, slap.

I ran out of the warehouse, cutting through the sticky liquid.

“Now, let’s take each table! Head up!”

High-density liquid begins to rise from the bottom.

As Choi Se-rim said, the surrounding area is a sweet swamp.

The liquid is now up to my waist.

Park Seong-jin is seen screaming and kicking in the door.

“Now raise the table above the water!!!”

slam!

I put down a wide table on the sticky swamp and lean on the table to pull myself up.

“Sister! Hold my hand!”

Choi Se-rim helps the struggling Heo Yoon. Fortunately, both men succeeded in settling down on the swamp.

The caramel liquid continues to pour out.

Park Seong-jin runs wildly, but falls down after being swept away by the rapids.

“Come here! Crumble! Cough, cluck!”

I stood on the board and watched Park Seong-jin, covered in caramel, struggling.

“Don’t stop and keep pulling up the surrounding tables.”

Even if you avoid sinking right away, this table is also destined to sink slowly.

You have to keep raising the surrounding tables higher to create new supports.

The moment I grabbed the table leg and pulled it out with all my strength from the sticky liquid.

“It’s not over yet. The ceremony is not over yet!!!!!”

Sigh-

A strong arm splits the caramel liquid, and Park Seong-jin rises above the swamp.

eye. nose. mouth. Open wounds on the shoulders, abdomen, and chest. Blood began to spurt out from Park Seong-jin’s entire body.

“What, what…”

While Choi Se-rim mumbles, the dark red liquid gathers tightly and forms a chain.

The dark red liquid soon begins to lift Park Seong-jin’s body. Heo Yun screams loudly.

“We have to stop it!”

But it was only for a moment. The blood mixed with the liquid of the drink boiled, spewing out smoke and spreading to the surrounding area.

“Kuhuh. Sigh. No, no, no…”

Snap.

Park Seong-jin is no longer visible.

The caramel juice that continued to flow heavily covered his body.

I looked bitterly at Seongjin Park disappearing and stood up from the table.

“Let’s leave quickly. If you just go over the curved part of the alley earlier, you’ll be fine.”

Heo Yun swings her arms back and forth and takes a stance.

“All I have to do is jump as far as possible from here, right?”

“Yes. Then you just have to walk away somehow.”

“Okay.”

Heo Yoon jumped and landed far away.

As soon as I set foot on a place where the water is still shallow, a loud clanging sound is heard.

That’s it, with barely any movement. The physicality is no joke.

Next is Choi Se-rim. It wasn’t as bad as Heo Yoon’s, but he managed to land safely in a safe place.

Then me too…

“Wow.”

I tried to run as far as I could, but I almost fell into the swamp.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. Thank you, sister.”

Choi Se-rim lifts my waist and drags me out.

“Now let’s go.”

I went around the alley I came from to avoid the caramel juice pouring out from behind me.

“Ha…I almost died.”

Heo Yoon sighs and shakes off the liquid stuck to his hair.

Even though he survived safely, I still feel for Park Seong-jin.

“……”

It’s such a complicated feeling that I can’t put into words, I don’t even know what I’m thinking. just. I just keep sighing. My eyes feel hot.

Talk.

When I turned around, I saw Heo Yoon putting his hand on my head.

“Don’t worry about that guy. This is the person who has been saying that for a long time.”

“Yes?”

“Whenever someone turned into a monster, that guy always took care of it. He said that if that happens to him too, please stop thinking about useless things and just kill him.”

Heo Yoon removes a chunk of caramel from my hair and throws it on the floor.

“So don’t worry about it.”

“Yes…”

“I also obtained an amnestic agent. We’re all safe, right?”

Ssuk suk.

A pleasant touch tickles my head. Heo Yun is stroking my head. It feels like stickiness is mixing in, but it’s still good.

“Now let’s go back.”

Heo Yoon presses the elevator button. Choi Se-rim stays quiet and then suddenly says something.

“Dabin. Are you crying?”

“No. Just…”

“Good job.”

For some reason, the corpses that were piled up a moment ago are no longer visible.

Clean elevator interior.

Get on the elevator and press the button. 7th floor. It’s time to go back.
