43 – No. 210 (1)

Passasac Mansion.

Climb the stairs attached to the outer wall and arrive at the second floor.

and at the end of the hallway.

A familiar doll was standing around and looking at me.

“It’s local.”

“···I’m here?”

180CM is way over the top.

Black hair cut short.

Sharp eyes and jawline.

It was exactly the same as the sister in my memory.

After I approached my sister at a quick pace.

A glance.

『No. 210』

I checked the lake of the house where I live by squinting.

Naturally, the end of the corridor was room 210, not room 209.

“You know room 210.”

“Yes, there is.”

“What are we going to do?”

“There wasn’t, but it just came into being.”

I wanted to be joking, but

Looking at his expression, it didn’t seem that way.

My younger sister Lee Hyun-ji passed me by,

He walked down the hallway and talked.

“Follow me for a second.”

“yes? Why all of a sudden?”

“Stop talking and hurry up.”

I don’t know why, but I followed my sister down to the first floor.

*

Mansion front yard.

The sister raised her head,

We talked while looking at the second floor of the building.

“Isn’t it strange?”

“what? Don’t omit it, and talk properly.”

“Look if you have eyes. How many windows are there on the second floor?”

At those words, I followed my sister’s gaze and looked up at the outer wall of the mansion.

leftmost.

I can see the window of room 201.

Next, number 202. No. 203…

‘what?’

I wondered if I was counting wrong, so I slowly checked the number of windows again from the left.

. . but the result did not change.

nine windows.

If you add up to No. 210, it should be ten, but no matter how many times you count, only nine results come out.

‘Wait a minute, come to think of it, why isn’t that window there again?’

There was one more strange thing.

The identity of the house I live in.

Broken windows were nowhere to be seen.

All of them were intact windows.

“I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me if I just said it, so I confirmed it.”

My sister put her hand on my shoulder as I stared blankly upstairs.

“As soon as I heard you come up to the second floor, the hallway suddenly expanded.”

“What the hell is that…”

“There is a new space. To the room with room 210.”

I got a little goosebumps.

Still, he maintained a calm expression.

I met my sister’s eyes and asked.

“It’s local. Didn’t I say that room 210 was created when I came? Would you like to go up again now?”

“···okay.”

After the sister went up the stairs like that.

I also went up with a little time difference.

And before I even ask

My younger sister was the first to speak.

“Just like that. Since you started coming up, the space increased.”

“yes···?”

I don’t think it’s a lie.

Because the younger sister in my memory wasn’t the type to play silly pranks like this.

‘No, but why the hell does a space appear when I go up the stairs?’

I was thinking about the supernatural phenomena that are happening right now.

Lee Hyun-ji started reasoning first.

“Lee Hyun-seong. Have you ever brought anyone here?”

“I’ve brought the instructor once before.”

“Did nothing happen then?”

“If I had, I would have sensed something strange from then on.”

When Instructor Tak Jae-hwan came to the housewarming party.

I thought about the difference between then and now.

‘ah. At that time, I went to the first floor to meet you.’

…There was no income whatsoever.

I thought more deeply.

Compare the past and present situation.

I’ve been trying to reason for a while why that space only appears when I’m there.

‘The state-of-the-art biometrics… It’s not…’

I was lost in thought with my hands in my pockets.

A small piece of cold metal caught on my fingertips.

‘…Can this be?’

I immediately took out the metal and held it up.

The key to Room 210.

Maybe there is some kind of power in this.

It was not a foolish reasoning.

I had heard of an artifact with a similar effect.

“It’s local. Take this key and go down for a while.”

So I decided to check it out.

Is going up to the second floor with this key the right way to enter the hidden space?

“…”

And my predictions were right.

The moment my sister arrived on the first floor.

The space in the hallway began to shrink rapidly.

‘what is this? He’s giving me a house key as an artifact…’

Apparently, it was not an ordinary mansion.

***

Since then, several experiments have been conducted.

As far as I found out.

The fact that room 210 appears only when you go up to the second floor with this key.

When the person with the key entered Room 210.

The outer space is contracted again.

There was this much.

‘I’ll have to try contacting the landlord later.’

anyway.

Having figured out the cause of the strange phenomenon that happened today, we are now…

“Come on, coffee.”

“···thanks.”

I go into the room normally and sit down.

Just because it’s a room made of artifacts doesn’t really change anything.

safe and good

“No, but… Can I find out more?”

Unlike me, who doesn’t mind.

The younger sister who was handed the coffee had a slightly confused expression.

“There’s nothing wrong with living.”

“It seems to be a lot of trouble…”

My sister looked around the room and continued.

“That···. Why don’t you try contacting the realtor who introduced you to this mansion?”

“yes? Isn’t that the room you got from the real estate?”

For reference, this room was contracted directly with the landlord without going through a real estate agent.

The most popular home finding app.

There is such a thing as ‘jjikppang’.

In the past, I was about to go into real estate to find a house, but a man wearing a hat and covering his face with a mask suddenly approached me and told me about it.

Of course, he was so suspicious that he asked why he covered his face.

The reason was nothing.

Is it to keep your identity hidden from real estate agents?

The man said that he was being scammed in real estate here, and that he was stealing customers this way to retaliate.

anyway.

At that time, I was able to find a room after seeing a post on the jjappang.

It was roughly like this.

—

『Passasac Mansion』

: There is only one left for No. 210. The monthly rent is only 150,000 won, which is half of the other rooms. If you contact me, I will not receive it, so please do not contact me if possible.

※This is the room where the murder occurred.

※Ghosts do not appear.

—

I just wanted to stay here.

It was not easy to find a room for 150,000 won.

I liked the contract more because it was an oral contract.

Lee Hyun-ji, who heard this, raised his voice as if he was dumbfounded.

“The house where the murder happened? What do you live in a place like this!?”

For an ordinary person, it was just cause for concern.

I don’t really care

My younger sister seems uneasy, so I summoned a guide to reassure me.

It was to let Bob’s sense of danger know that this room was a harmless place.

That’s when I was about to proceed with the summoning.

─Kei!

– Appearance.

Kaebi and iron rice bowls came out of nowhere.

It comes out even if I don’t call anymore.

It wasn’t true a while ago

Named… No, it seemed that the summoned beasts with the cost could come out of their own volition.

Of course, I warned them not to jump out at any time.

I just came out knowing that it was still my room.

“Are these the summoned beasts you always talked about on the phone?”

“yes. And did you say that too? Our rice cooker is said to be very good at detecting danger.”

I talk to my sister on the phone once a day and talk about this and that, so I also talked about the iron rice bowl’s performance in the back room.

So there was no need to add an explanation.

“Bob bucket. Perception of danger.”

─Confirm command entry. detect.

after giving the order.

After about 5 seconds.

─Danger. doesn’t exist.

The Iron Rice Bowl reported.

It was a natural result.

It’s an order I gave yesterday just in case.

“Did you see it? It’s a room without any problems.”

“…then what chills do you feel right now? Aren’t there ghosts?”

The younger sister seemed to still not believe it, perhaps because she had only heard about Iron Rice Bowl’s competence.

That’s because it’s not dangerous.

There was no way there could be a ghost.

If so, when I looked around the room with the landlord.

He must have noticed that there was an evil spirit attached to him long ago and searched for another room.

I knew that it was a completely different feeling from the chill felt by ghosts, so I had been doing nothing.

‘The reason why I was pressed by the scissors must have been because I was tired physically and mentally.’

Although I had nightmares at the beginning of moving in,

Now, let alone nightmares, he is sleeping soundly.

In addition, when I woke up, my body felt refreshed as if I had drank a recovery potion.

This is a house that is possessed by evil spirits?

don’t know anything else

I was 100 percent sure that this was a haunted house.

It’s not like I’ve seen demons once or twice.

after.

I was trying to convince my younger sister not to worry too much.

Kaebi stayed close to me and looked at Lee Hyun-ji and asked quietly.

─That one. cock?

“It’s a female.”

I also answered quietly.

─Keii…

Kaebi growled and glared at Lee Hyun-ji fiercely.

Lee Hyun-ji didn’t care about that gaze and moved his gaze to the iron rice bowl.

“Can I give him a command, too?”

“yes? what command?”

“You said there was nothing dangerous. Then I was wondering if you could detect something that isn’t dangerous.”

Even if my sister isn’t as dangerous as an evil spirit.

He added that there might be something unknown.

I knew that it was an unusual room, so I accepted the opinion.

Of course, I gave the order.

The iron rice bowl won’t listen unless it’s my order.

─Exploring…

inside the room.

Maybe because it was a vague command to detect something that wasn’t mine?

It took a little while.

About 10 minutes passed like that.

—Assuming that there is something… error. Not sure.

It seemed that Bob’s search had failed.

But then.

─Kei!

Kaebi sees the rice bowl and soaks it in arsenic.

He started to walk around the room, sniffing like a dog.

And stopped in the center of the room.

─Keii! here!

“What are you doing, Kaebi!?”

Kaebi suddenly started ripping the floor at random.

The moment I, surprised by the sudden action, tried to dissuade Kkaebi.

under the ripped-off floor.

Kkaebi took out a jet-black jewel and put on a triumphant expression.

─Kei!

A kkaebi holding out a jewel toward an iron rice bowl.

Poof!

The iron rice bowl snatched the jewel from Kaebi’s hand.

─Detecting.

─Give it up!

─Turn it off. detecting.

After pushing the head of the kkaebi who was begging for it back with one hand, and placing the jewel on its face, the iron rice bowl, which had been closely observing it, soon met my gaze and said,

─The spirit stone… Presumed to be the corpse of an ancient spirit.
