Hide and Seek <Horror>

Chapter 3 | Traces of the Soul

...

The screaming stopped abruptly in front of the break room.

김여주

Are you here?

최수빈

...huh

Knock.-

We slowly opened the door to the break room and entered.

...

..

.

민채린

uh??

민채린

Senior Yeoju..!!

신무연

I hope you are safe..

강태현

...thank goodness

강태현

...ugh,

최수빈

?

최연준

What is it, Kang Tae-hyun?

최연준

Where are you hurt?

민채린

I was running away from a ghost earlier...

민채린

I tripped over a broken plank.

유민석

Are you hurt a lot..?

강태현

...No, it's okay

강태현

It's just a little scratched

황지예

...is it bleeding?

강태현

...

김여주

...it won't work,

김여주

We'll get a first aid kit.

최연준

I know where it is

김여주

Maybe it's in the health room

윤미래

The health room is right in front of the break room.

김여주

Oh, right

김여주

?

김여주

But who are you?

윤미래

My name is Yoon Mirae, I'm 18 years old and a high school student.

황지예

...It's a face I haven't seen at school.

민채린

This person was also trapped in this world due to the necromancy spell we used.

유민석

So, all the people who practice necromancy will gather here?

최수빈

...and other people

최수빈

There's no way you could have done this necromancy alone.

윤미래

...

윤미래

...died

윤미래

Just now, to those ghosts.

김여주

...Ghosts?

윤미래

You saw them too, right?

윤미래

Black Shadow Ghosts

황지예

...Yes, until just now

김여주

But what is that

윤미래

Here are the dead souls

윤미래

In the end, if you can't escape this world, your soul will leave your body and you will become a ghost.

윤미래

My friends... also ended up like that

윤미래

And then he becomes a ghost and eats living humans.

윤미래

And when that person dies, only the soul remains and becomes another ghost.

윤미래

This is a repeat

최연준

So, how many more ghosts are there here?

윤미래

..I don't know that either

윤미래

Anyway, it's not that bad.

유민석

...her

유민석

Don't you know how to get out?

윤미래

If I had known, I wouldn't be doing this.

민채린

That's right...

윤미래

This is definitely not an ordinary world.

윤미래

It's full of souls with a grudge

신무연

...

신무연

How long has it been since you came here?

윤미래

...I know

윤미래

It's been a long time since I lost the concept of time...

윤미래

...how many days, no, how many months passed?

윤미래

I don't know either

김여주

...

김여주

...Do you want to come with us?

김여주

Let's find a way to escape this place together.

민채린

...okay!!

민채린

It's so scary to go alone...

윤미래

...Then I'm grateful,,

최수빈

Then let's split up and go

최수빈

The team that will go to the infirmary to find a first aid kit to treat Taehyun, the team that will stay here with the injured Taehyun, and the investigation team.

민채린

I'll stay by Taehyun's side

윤미래

Then I'll be here too

김여주

Then Jiye and Muyeon, help me find the first aid kit in the infirmary.

신무연

yes

황지예

..yes!

최수빈

Then, the rest of the men, let's go investigate the data room.

최연준

ok

유민석

Ahh - I see

So we divided into three teams and expanded our scope of activities.

민채린

Everyone, take care on your way back safely..!!

윤미래

If you encounter a ghost, the best way to avoid it is to run away as much as possible.

김여주

Yeah, I'll be back

강태현

...Thank you all

김여주

Kang Tae-hyun, you

김여주

Rest well and don't move anywhere.

강태현

yes..

...

..

.

Rummaging around...

황지예

senior..!!

황지예

Here are some bandages and tape!!

Jiye came back with bandages and tape.

김여주

Oh, good job

신무연

Here, first aid kit and saline solution.

김여주

Fortunately, the items in the infirmary are intact.

신무연

That's right, it's like someone just took it

황지예

...no way

황지예

Scary..lol;;

신무연

There's no harm in being careful.

신무연

It's hard to believe even people

황지예

..?

김여주

What does that mean?

신무연

...Yoon Mirae

신무연

Can I trust you?

김여주

huh?

신무연

...I keep feeling a little uneasy

황지예

...Ehehe,, I'm so nervous because I fell in a place like this..

황지예

Me too... I'm surprised even though I'm a member of our club...

신무연

...That's not it

신무연

The smell

김여주

smell..?

신무연

I could smell a faint scent of blood on that person.

황지예

It can't be helped

황지예

All my friends... said it happened like that...

신무연

...That's right

김여주

Yeah, let's not be suspicious

김여주

We all need to work together...

황지예

...that's right!

신무연

...yes

김여주

Well, now that we've packed a decent amount of first aid supplies, shall we head to the break room?

황지예

yes

신무연

yes

...

..

.

Whoosh.-

As I came out of the infirmary, a black figure emerged from the break room and quickly disappeared down the hallway.

김여주

!

김여주

Did you see it..?

황지예

..yes?

황지예

What is it?

김여주

Just now... I'm talking about the black shadow that came out of the rest area...

신무연

...I saw it too

황지예

...to?

황지예

I haven't seen it..;;

황지예

What the... you two... are you kidding me..???

김여주

No...I really saw it

김여주

I think we just made eye contact...

신무연

...

신무연

...Senior, let's go to the break room quickly.

We opened the door to the break room and went in, feeling something ominous.

...

..

.

As we entered the break room, we witnessed a shocking sight.

...

민채린

...........

Inside the break room, Chaerin looked like a dried, twisted corpse, like a mummy.

김여주

...!?

김여주

Chaerin..!?

황지예

..huh..uh..uh,,,..

황지예

...Huh..uh..uh wooow..!

신무연

...

김여주

..what..is this,,

When I saw my junior's hideous corpse right before my eyes... I couldn't come to my senses.

Is this corpse really Chaerin? It must be a lie... My hopes of not being able to do so are fading away.

The name tag on the twisted corpse's school uniform had the words "Min Chae-rin" written clearly on it.

김여주

....

김여주

....No way,,

황지예

...Is it really Chaerin?

황지예

...

황지예

...lie,,

황지예

no...

황지예

...That can't be true,,

Ji-ye denied reality, as if she was mentally exhausted by Chae-rin's corpse.

신무연

...That's right, senior Chaerin

황지예

...

윤미래

...ugh,,

At that moment, I heard Mirae's voice groaning from the corner.

김여주

..!

김여주

Future, what happened?

윤미래

..uh..uh, heh..ha.

Mirae was bleeding profusely as if she had been stabbed in the side.

김여주

Okay.. Let's start with treatment first.

The heroine opened the first aid kit and started with first aid.

윤미래

Ugh...ugh, ha..

신무연

...are you okay?

윤미래

...ha,, yeah

윤미래

But... more than that, Chaerin...

황지예

...

김여주

What happened...

김여주

More than that...what about Taehyun?

김여주

Where did Taehyun go..???

윤미래

Taehyun was suddenly captured by the black shadow ghost.

윤미래

And Chaerin... her soul was sucked out...

윤미래

...ugh,

윤미래

I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you... Ugh...

김여주

..No, you're hurt like this too

김여주

...I wish there was at least one more person protecting this place.

김여주

It's my fault...

윤미래

no..

황지예

Senior Yeoju...

황지예

What about Chaerin...?

김여주

...

김여주

...First, let's cover it with a cloth.

김여주

So that the kids won't be surprised when they come later...

신무연

...yes

...

..

.

Meanwhile, the investigation team...

유민석

I don't think there's anything particularly noticeable.

유민석

It's just all old documents

최수빈

I wonder if I might find any trace of this place.

최수빈

...let's take a good look

...

최연준

Kids, this is a newspaper.

유민석

Wow... it's really old

유민석

What year is it...?

최연준

This is a newspaper article about this school.

유민석

...1..1989?

최수빈

...what does it say?

최연준

...hmm

November 13, 1989

##4 elementary school students attending ##gu ## elementary school have gone missing.

Currently, 70 prosecutors and investigators have been dispatched to search the surrounding area.

The four missing children were of different ages and went missing at different times, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all students at ## Elementary School. However, nothing else is known about them, and there are no traces of their disappearance, so the prosecution appears to be having great difficulty in the investigation.

The prosecution is planning to narrow down the scope of the investigation, assuming that this was a group kidnapping targeting elementary school students.

The personal information and descriptions of the missing children are as shown in the photo above.

The first missing person on October 1, 1989, Kim Min-ji, 11 years old and in the 5th grade of elementary school, was reported to have been 158cm tall with short hair and wearing a pink baseball jacket when she went missing during school hours.

The second missing person, Bae Myung-jun, was 11 years old and a fifth-grader on October 1, 1989. His disappearance is believed to have occurred around the same time as Kim Min-ji. At the time, he was reportedly 156cm tall and wearing a striped T-shirt and blue sneakers.

October 17, 1989. The third missing person, Park Dae-hee, was 10 years old and a fourth grader. His disappearance occurred at the same time as other children. At the time, he was said to be 148cm tall, wearing green-rimmed glasses, a shirt, and long pants.

The fourth missing person, Chae Young-hee, was 10 years old and in the third grade of elementary school on November 4, 1989. The time of disappearance was the same, and at the time, she was said to be 142cm tall and carrying a white one-piece dress and a red Sailor Moon bag.

If you have seen any children believed to be in the photo above, please report it to the nearest police station or the prosecutor in charge.

The families of the missing are said to be desperately waiting for their children to return safely.

...

유민석

...Anyway, it's certain that something bad happened at this school, right?

최수빈

...I guess I should look at it that way.

최연준

...;;

최연준

Damn, but why are we trapped here..;;

최연준

What does this incident have to do with us...;

최수빈

...It's true that we opened the door to the afterlife where we were sleeping.

최수빈

I might have gotten involved in something like this...

최연준

...what,

최연준

It's not even a movie...

The Fed couldn't believe all this was happening.

최수빈

...First of all, I think I've investigated everything here.

최수빈

Let's go to the supply room

최수빈

I think we have to solve something to get out of here.

유민석

...okay,

...

"Please save me"
