episode_0067

A severe conflict arose in my head, but the time to make a choice was getting closer and closer. Should I wait like this and go to the 6th floor, or should I trust Sohee below?

“Sihyeon! Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer!”

The sound coming from below came closer and closer, and it seemed like there was no longer any distance left. If I just stay like this, I’ll be able to meet you soon…

“Hurry up, let’s go up quickly.”

I held the invisible being’s hand and started climbing the stairs as fast as I could.

Assuming that Sohee below was real, I wondered why she spoke so late.

“Why are you going up! Please wait!”

It was strange that even though I knew I was going up, I didn’t come up right away. If it was the Sohee I knew, she would have come up at the right time to save me, but if she could have come up, why was she waiting below?

All questions led to the conclusion that she had bought time to transform into Sohee.

I thought about many other things, but I remembered a similar ghost story and was almost certain. If the ghost story goes astray, the person next to me right now would be the real Sohee.

“Wait!!!!”

A scream-like cry was heard from below. The person leading me also walked faster at the sound, and we were finally able to reach the 6th floor.

I opened the door roughly and threw myself to the 6th floor as if flying. My whole body hurt when I hit the floor, but when I persevered and turned around, I saw it.

“…what a waste.”

The flesh that took up half of the face was wriggling like crazy, and half of it had Sohee’s face.

It was looking at me with yellow drool flowing down, but it stared at me intently as if it couldn’t enter the 6th floor and disappeared into the darkness.

“Ugh, ugh….”

When I looked to the side, I saw Sohee removing a black object from her face. Perhaps because the material was quite sticky, it did not come off easily, and his tear-filled face looked painful.

“, would you like me to help you?

“Phew. It’s okay…it hurt, but I took it all off.”

Sohee gathered the removed black objects into a circle and threw them on the stairs, then roughly closed the door.

I guess I couldn’t see his face on the stairs because of that black thing.

“I was also confused because it was my first time seeing this monster, but how did Sihyeon know?”

“…I’ve heard a similar ghost story.”

“A ghost story?”

“One day, while I was sleeping on the second floor, I woke up to the sound of my mother calling me from the first floor. The second floor is dangerous! So, the moment I was about to go down to the first floor, I heard my mother’s voice again from the bedroom on the second floor. Sihyeon! Mom heard it too, don’t go down! The sound…”

“Isn’t this a typical ghost story without an answer?”

“That’s true, but since the mother was probably sleeping on the second floor in the first place, it seemed credible that the mother on the second floor was the correct answer. Sohee was the one holding my hand from the beginning…”

There are many other reasons, such as buying time to transform into Sohee, but this ghost story helped me a lot in my choice.

“Hey…I thought of an interesting hypothesis.”

Sohee, who was looking at the door, turned around. It was definitely the image of Sohee I had been seeing all along, but I felt a sense of déjà vu somewhere.

“What do you think about the hypothesis that the monster on the second floor heard the voice of his real mother on the first floor and imitated it?”

“I’ve heard of it, but…”

Sohee slowly approached with her body swaying, giving off a scary aura and not appearing normal.

Clearly Sohee below was fake, but both of them were fake…?

“Then, be careful from now on. Because monsters try to deceive people two and three times.”

Sohee came up to me and smiled brightly as if she had never done that before and rubbed my cheek. Is it really…Sohee?

“Situations like the one just happened are unavoidable, but we must doubt again and again in every situation.”

“…Then I am most suspicious of Sohee in front of me right now.”

“I’m real! Wait, I just scared you to let you know!”

Sohee was embarrassed and pulled up her top, and her pure white chest was covered in tooth marks and red flowers. It’s all my work…

“Here, do you see the particle marks on the nipple side? Sihyeon bit me so hard it hurt a little!”

“I will believe you, I will believe you, so put on your clothes…”

“That’s not all! Even if he was a monster, he wouldn’t have been able to get this far!?”

Sohee was so excited that she tried to pull down her pants and stopped her. That’s because I knew it was real enough… You’re not doing it because you want to show it off, right?

“…Well, I’ll stop joking around here and find a way to get down.”

“Ha…ha…how do I get down…?”

I feel like I’ve already used up all my stamina trying to stop Sohee. I don’t know about Sohee, but when a man gets excited, it’s hard for him to even walk…

“I’ll have to search the 6th floor first, and if there’s nothing, I’ll have to use the stairs.”

“If you go down the stairs, won’t you come back again?”

“Maybe so, but there is no other option. Still, if you know it’s happening, there’s a solution, so you don’t have to worry too much!”

“If Sohee says that, I will believe it.”

“…Sihyeon must learn to doubt.”

Sohee smiled slightly, cupped my cheek playfully, and folded her arms. An arm was placed between soft breasts, and a soft touch was felt.

“Sohee, it’s difficult to move…”

“Don’t complain! It’s Sihyeon’s fault that she gets kidnapped if she looks away for a moment.”

…When you say that, I have nothing to say. Before I joined the ghost story research group, I didn’t see many ghosts, but recently the frequency has increased tremendously.

“First, let’s look for room 601. If you see anything that looks like a doll, please let me know first.”

We headed to room 601, feeling each other’s body heat. It’s a scary and dangerous place, but it feels like we’re on a date because we’re doing this…

Does Sohee feel the same way?

“Ah, it’s open. Sometimes there are doors that don’t open, but I’m lucky.”

I stretched out my other hand and opened the door to room 601, and the dark interior came into view. I looked for a switch to see if I could turn on the light, and a switch on the wall caught my eye.

The light blinked a few times with the sound of a switch being pressed, and then the light came on. Where does electricity come from?

We entered the room with our arms folded. I wondered if I should take off my shoes, but Sohee came in anyway, so it wouldn’t matter, right?

As I walked into the room, the first thing that caught my eye was a large bookshelf. Aside from that, the furniture was simple, including chests of drawers and wardrobes, and there was nothing that stood out.

We exchanged a look and headed towards the most suspicious bookshelf. The bookshelf was filled with books without covers, so it looked very suspicious at first glance.

“… As expected, it’s inconvenient to find it with your arms crossed. Never let go of your hand!”

After taking the book out of the bookshelf, Sohee must have finally realized it, so she uncrossed her arms and took the black-covered book in her hands.

“There were cases where important information was written in these books. Information about the ‘moon’, hospitals, etc… So even if it’s dangerous, you should read it.”

“…Has anything ever come out?”

“There were things like cursed books and ghosts coming out, but all of them could be exorcised. Still, I’m a little worried because I’m with Sihyeon…Ugh…”

Sohee tilted her head, placed her hand on her chin, and began to think. I’m worried because you’re with me…I hate myself for not being able to refute…

“Of course, I’ll have to watch it alone. If I get weird, please put an amulet on my back!”

“…Okay! You have to be careful.”

If we watch it together, it might become dangerous again, and Sohee can tell us the contents after we finish reading it. It’s best not to burden yourself with pointless curiosity.

“Okay, then read the first chapter!”

As if she had made up her mind, Sohee turned the first page of the black book.

my diary

And then I started reading out loud.

“Sohee?”

From the beginning, I sensed something strange and waved the hand I was holding, but Sohee didn’t respond in any way. I felt it was a dangerous situation, so I attached an amulet to my back, but as expected, nothing happened.

While she was embarrassed, Sohee’s white hands turned the page and began reading the next page as if nothing had happened.

I was beaten by my father again today. After my younger sister, who was much smarter and prettier than me, died in a car accident, my father always asked me why I didn’t die instead.

If you and your younger brother had switched seats, you would have been the one who died… Those words I always said turned into curses and kept spinning around in my head.

If my younger brother had lived instead of me, everyone would have been happy.

Once again, Sohee turned the page. I noticed that the diary had unusual contents and tried to stop it using somewhat drastic measures, but my body could not move.

younger brother younger brother younger brother younger brother

If you like your younger brother that much, wouldn’t it be better to call him over? If you bring my younger brother back alive, he won’t bother me anymore.

From the day I made that decision, I studied the occult. How to revive the dead, how to bring them back… at least how to call them and talk to them.

After searching all the ways, the best I can do now is

Hide and seek alone

It was this. Originally, it was said to be a form of curse or voodoo, not necromancy, but wouldn’t it be possible to summon your younger brother with a little adjustment? If my father sees my younger brother in front of him, he won’t say anything to me anymore.

That night, I dug up my brother’s grave.

“I’m sorry… Ye-eun… I’m sorry…”

He repeatedly apologized to his younger brother and completely dug into his grave. My arms were sore and my whole body was aching, but I didn’t care and kept digging and was able to find the coffin.

Wow….

When I opened the coffin, I saw my younger brother beautifully wrapped in a shroud. As I carefully unwrapped the shroud and cut it open, I could see the face of my beloved younger brother, with some flesh remaining that had not yet completely rotted away.

“Just wait a little longer, and I will save your life…”

Using the pliers I prepared in advance, I pulled out my brother’s fingernails and tore off the flesh. After completing all preparations, I took one last look at my lovely younger brother, put him in a shroud, and closed the coffin.

Sohee was reciting her diary without taking a breath. While I was rolling my eyes and looking around to find a way to stop something, I saw the notebook in my pocket glowing.

I realized that my hand was moving at the same time as a blinding light. When I reached into my pocket and took out my notebook, the light faded.

After returning home, I immediately started preparing for necromancy. He filled the doll with rice and put his younger brother’s flesh and fingernails inside.

After sewing the doll together with red thread and my own hair to keep it from bursting, I chanted a spell.

‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, come here. Come here. I have prepared a body, a body, for you. ‘

Come here.

With the last words, all the lights broke and darkness came in an instant. But even in the darkness, the notebook I was holding was clearly visible.

Suddenly, my body was able to move freely. I calmed my pounding heart and opened the first page of my notebook as calmly as possible.

1. I have to finish playing hide and seek alone. Hide in a safe place because the doll is coming for you outside.

After reading number 1, I immediately looked around, but I couldn’t see Sohee. Also, was I the only one who got sucked into this space, or was Sohee also involved?

I had a lot of questions, but I decided to worry about them later and hide myself first.

Let’s trust Sohee. I’m sure he’ll come to the rescue. And the amulet…

You used the talisman on Sohee…
