“Who exactly is this Detective Lim…?”
I’d seen a channel with a similar name in the old YouTube algorithm, but…
The person I was seeing now looked completely different.
[Cling-]
“Master? I… want to do it…”
As she clung to Detective Kim’s left arm, a trauma resurfaced for no reason.
…A memory I didn’t want to recall.
More than that, she wants to do it… do what?
“Anyway, Detective Kim… I think it’d be best if you left quickly…”
Detective Kim still wasn’t moving an inch.
Could it be that this person too…
Well, how often does one get to have physical contact with a pretty girl?
But if we stayed like this, the masked figures would surely come in.
But no matter what, I didn’t want to do the same thing as last time.
“Detective Kim… do you know that person?”
“-…Yes…! She was my proud… senior colleague.”
To think she even knew her, and quite intimately at that.
Then it seemed certain that she had lost her reason.
[Thud-]
“Hey… Detective Lim, was it? Anyway, you.”
“This person respected you, wouldn’t showing this side of yourself be embarrassing…?”
She stopped moving for a moment and looked at me.
Does she remember the name and actions…?
[Thud]
“Wh-What are you…!”
“A whore like you doesn’t deserve to touch us…”
She suddenly spat at my clothes as she said that.
Was she always like this…? Or was her personality altered?
As bad as the situation was, my mood worsened.
After she finished speaking, she continued to cling to Detective Kim, making things difficult.
Just as I was thinking that maybe she was a spy sent from the game…
[Thud-]
A bizarrely shaped pink gun fell from Detective Kim’s hand, and I immediately knew what it was.
I didn’t know how to shoot it… but first, I picked up the gun.
I vaguely remembered what would happen if I shot it.
Doesn’t it need to be loaded?
[Bang-!]
“Ah…”
When I pulled the trigger towards the floor, the entire room instantly began to fill with smoke.
Frankly, I was briefly taken aback because the power was beyond my imagination.
But… now was the chance.
[Cling-]
“…Let’s go quickly.”
I grabbed his hand and opened the door, thankfully there were no masked figures in sight.
Whether it was a trap… or not…
Anyway, we had to get out of here quickly.
“Wa-Wait a minute!”
[Bang!]
I shot at the floor once more, and smoke billowed up.
Doesn’t it need a magazine or reloading…?
The recoil was strong, but it was practically an unlimited smoke screen.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Well… I did serve in the military.”
It wasn’t really much of a military service, it felt like a gunfight from a sci-fi movie.
“Shall we go to the auditorium?”
“Let’s do that for now. But…”
But?
“Depending on the situation, we might have to abandon you and leave on our own.”
Well, that was within the realm of possibility.
I nodded silently and started walking down the hallway again.
[5]
The auditorium is near District 10… we had quite a bit to run.
At that moment.
“There’s a participant here…!”
As a masked figure popped out in the hallway, I tried to aim the gun at the ceiling.
But before long, the masked figure raised a gun, and I knew it would be too late if I shot at the ceiling.
[Bang-!]
“Haa… I don’t know…”
Shooting the gun right in front of me, an ear-splitting sound rang out.
For something that looked like a toy, it was beyond my imagination.
[Thud-]
“Ugh!?”
Along with the sound, a recoil that was distinctly different from before struck me.
Did I… fall?
“Ah ah…”
“Are you okay?”
My butt kept hurting.
Did I inhale too much smoke…? My upper body felt languid.
And as the fog began to clear…
“Hngh…!”
“Huh?”
A groan suddenly escaped my lips.
Come to think of it, there was a sensation on my chest…
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
He quickly got up, making it even harder to understand the situation.
What on earth just happened?
“Ugh…”
[Shuffle…]
Maybe it was because I inhaled the smoke too often, it felt like I was having phantom pains.
“…I’m the one who should be sorry. By the way, the masked figures will be here soon.”
“I’m really… sorry!”
Why does this person keep apologizing…?
At that moment, I heard someone slowly walking out of the hallway.
“Ugh…”
That masked figure I saw earlier… their body shape was very different from before.
Was it a hit?
“You…! My thing…”
The reaction was quite a sight to see.
I couldn’t see their face because it was covered by a mask, but I could roughly guess what kind of expression they were making.
The pain, along with the result of instantly losing their manhood, must have left them speechless.
Well, they castrated me too, so it was better to see it as self-defense.
[Thump! Thump!]
But before I could enjoy the reaction,
I began to hear the sound of masked figures running from the end of the hallway.
“…I don’t think the auditorium is possible, is it?”
“It can’t be helped. Let’s go straight to the ventilation shaft.”
…
“By the way… are you really okay?”
“Why do you keep asking that…? Let’s just run.”
That’s what I said, but.
To be honest, it was too hard.
I know my diet is unbalanced and I haven’t exercised in a long time, but…
It definitely seemed like my changed body had much less stamina.
Above all, the collar of the maid outfit was getting in the way here too.
“Haa… haa…”
“Are you okay? Should I carry you?”
Frankly, it felt strange that I was this tired when I don’t think I even ran 300 meters.
“I’m okay… how much further is it?”
“We only have to run through 3 more districts.”
3 more districts…
Looking at the hallway, I couldn’t even properly complete District 5.
It definitely hurt my pride, but… it couldn’t be helped.
[Cling-]
“I… I must be heavy.”
“How could you be heavy when you’re so pretty? Haha…”
Does this person really think of me as a woman?
Still, it would be a good thing for me if we escaped like this.
[Thump… Thump…]
To be honest, I wasn’t completely without attachment to the 3 billion won.
If I went back like this, I would be castrated, stripped of my identity, and returned to society…
But if I stayed here while being modified like this, I felt like my mind would break first.
It had only been 10 days, but most of the participants’ minds had been turned upside down.
If even I became accustomed to that place…
I might be sold on the illegal black market, let alone return to society.
“…You’re fast.”
“I was also surprised that you were lighter than I thought.”
When I was a man, I easily weighed over 80 kilograms.
No matter how strong I was, it would have been impossible to run this leisurely.
It seemed like my weight had also decreased as I changed into this body.
“Haa…”
The more I thought about the changed body, the more I realized that I had become a woman.
If possible, I should stop thinking about this…
[Bang-]
“Ouch…”
I suddenly felt a stinging sensation from behind.
Before long, I felt a small amount of smoke rising.
Was I hit by a stray bullet…?
“What’s wrong?”
He stopped running and asked, making me feel guilty for no reason.
“I’m okay… we don’t have time, let’s go quickly.”
Looking at my hand for a moment, it didn’t seem like my body was changing like last time.
In the first place, I didn’t feel the pain from back then…
[Thump… Thump…]
“How many more districts are left?”
“We only have to go through 1 more district.”
I didn’t know what the stinging sensation from earlier was, but the escape was right in front of me.
First, I should go home and eat something…
Maybe I would have to create a new identity from scratch.
Then after creating an identity?
Well, if I became a celebrity, I could earn 30 billion won, let alone 3 billion won.
To be honest, I wasn’t attracted to men… but didn’t I have to earn money?
I was already running through various wishful thinking scenarios.
But after all, it would be better to tell the people who helped me about the situation…
“We’re almost there!”
“Ah… then I’ll follow you directly now.”
He gave me a hesitant look as if asking if I was really okay, but I didn’t care.
[Cling-]
“Hoo…”
Still, wouldn’t it be better to run on my own feet when escaping?
“Then where do we go now?”
“Let’s climb up the ventilation shaft above.”
Ventilation shaft…
“Wait… the ventilation shaft?”
Could it be that the detectives blatantly infiltrated this place through the ventilation shaft?
Judging from my previous bad memories, it was sure to be a trap.
“When did you arrive here?”
“Uh… about a day ago?”
…
It was blatantly a trap.
I thought they would at least come with a helicopter or submarine against a group of this size…
I should have realized it from the start when there were surprisingly few detectives.
[Shuffle… Shuffle…]
At that moment, I heard the sound of footsteps from a large number of people at both ends of the hallway.
“So why did you come into this place? Detective.”
Along with a uniquely delicate voice, I heard a familiar tone and turned around.
A more three-dimensional black mask and a black suit…
Who is it?
“Ah~ The precious No. 456 is on the left.”
“I’m the front girl in charge of hosting this game! Heh.”
So that guy… no, that bastard is the mastermind behind the game?
An indescribable rage suddenly welled up.
Not only did he change my body… but he shamelessly showed himself in front of me.
“Hey… come here. Because of you, I…!”
[Thud-]
Ah.
I expected that stinging sensation from earlier… was it an anesthetic?
“Just so you know, it’s not an anesthetic?”
“It’s something I was asked to do, so it might be a bit of a hindrance to your life in general… good luck!”
I could hear the voice, but my vision was slowly closing.
To think it would end like this in front of the exit…
✦✦✦
[Shuffle…]
“Ah…”
It was the auditorium again.
