"I think you really need to read the article. It's... no, it's very important!"
김석진
"What's going on?"
강슬기
"Hyunjin... was a police officer."
Seokjin was surprised by Seolgi's words and pushed Jimin and Seolgi who were standing in front of the door and ran outside to see the article.
Seokjin, who checked the article, was surprised but also confused.
김석진
"If it goes like this..."
Seokjin swallowed his next words for fear that someone might hear.
And he searched all over the village to find the seed.
The last place Seokjin stopped by, just in case, was a restaurant. Several participants were gathered together eating, and Jongin was among them.
Seokjin, in an attempt to approach Jongin as naturally as possible, took the food on his plate even though he had no appetite and sat down next to Jongin.
김종인
"I knew you would come."
Jong-in lowered his head, pretended to put his fingers to his lips, and spoke quietly enough for Seok-jin to hear.
Jong-in's words sounded like he could explain the situation.
Seokjin waited for Jongin, just picking at the rice until Jongin finished eating.
Jong-in knew Seok-jin was like that, but he steadfastly finished his meal. And just as Jong-in finished his meal, the announcement came on that it was time to vote, so Seok-jin headed to the execution chamber without even being able to have a proper conversation with Jong-in.

"It's voting time again. Now, let's debate freely."
김종인
"Is there anything you want to discuss? Let's finish quickly."
The mood shifted towards a hasty vote to condemn Seung-cheol to the gallows. The citizens smiled at the thought of catching the mafia, but the thought of someone's life being brutally ended filled them with sadness, guilt, and bitterness, as if on the verge of tears.
In this situation, Jeong-guk felt even more frantic. He was the one carrying out the execution, and no one else. The thought of taking someone's life with his own hands was too much to bear. His chest tightened, and he couldn't hear a single sound.
Just a moment later, the image of Seungcheol, writhing desperately with his body hanging, flashed before my eyes, and I felt sick and dizzy.
Jeongguk opened his mouth with difficulty.

"J... Wait a minute. Just this once more... Can't we just let it go?"
민윤기
"Is there a reason?"
Yoongi had noticed something odd about Jungkook for a while. At Yoongi's question, Jungkook fidgeted with his fingers, swallowed, and spoke.
전정국
"I had to carry out the execution... I made a deal, Host Boast. That day, when we were locked up in a prison-like place, I agreed to carry out the execution in exchange for freeing us all."
A silence fell over Jeongguk. The participants lowered their gazes to the floor, lost in thought. Should they kill the mafia and destroy Jeongguk's ego as well, or should they spare the mafia and give Jeongguk a little more time?
김석진
"We can't delay any longer... I appreciate your sacrifice for us, but... we need to get out of here quickly."
최연준
“Still... wouldn’t it be better to give it a little more time?”
김종인
"24 hours won't make a difference. Let's just get this over with quickly.
The participants' opinions were sharply divided: some said they should hurry up and kill the mafia for the sake of the two participants who died first, and for us, and end the game as quickly as possible; others said they should take a little more time for themselves, who would be in pain and have to watch someone die.
Seungcheol simply sat in a nearby Benz, staring at his toes, doing nothing. He seemed to be accepting his own death.
But when the idea of postponing the vote came up again, Seungcheol spoke with a trembling voice as if he had made up his mind.
최승철
"Just... kill me... please..."
A single tear rolled pitifully down Seungcheol's cheek, and within hours, his gaze had become that of a dying man. There was no life, no will.
최승철
"I feel like I'm going crazy with guilt... Please have mercy on me one last time... Please end this suffering."
Seungcheol knelt down and cried endlessly as he spoke. The other contestants looked at Jungkook, as if handing him the choice.
최승철
"I'll do my best not to struggle. Please, kill me."
At first, Jungkook was furious at Seungchul's plea to kill him. "You want to end the guilt? What guilt do I have to bear? You only think of yourself to the end, it's so disgusting." He cursed inwardly, but couldn't actually say anything.
It was because Seungcheol's gaze tightened her chest. Until just a moment ago, she'd thought of the mafia as nothing more than murderers. But now that she thought about it, they were no different. They seemed to be simply trying to survive. Like the citizens who were trying to kill someone through voting...
Jungkook looked into Seungcheol's soulless eyes and felt a sense of kinship and sympathy, and soon he shared Seungcheol's gaze and spoke with tears in his eyes.
전정국
"I'll kill you... I'll make it... comfortable..."
