I Became the Hidden Mastermind

Chapter 42

042 – Corridor Strategy # 2

I did not invite Yoo Da-hee to the hallway.

But Yoo Da-hee was in this “Corridor of nightmares.”

And the situation is screaming at us that we need to get out of 「1-4」 Quickly.

I, who has turned several crises into opportunities, now understand exactly what the situation is.

The identity of Yoo Da-hee.

It may be….

“Dahee. Yoo Da-hee. “I have a favor to ask you. Would you like to come into class 4?”

I invited Yoo Da-hee to Class 4 to clearly reveal her identity.

Ghosts could not enter class 4, which was full of amulets.

If Yoo Da-hee is a ghost, then Yoo Da-hee also wouldn’t be able to enter class 4.

Smart Jeongseok also added words as if he had read my thoughts.

“Yes! Yoo Da-hee! “You too, come in here quickly!”

“Come in! Come in!”

“… Guys, now is not the time to be like that! “We have to get out of there quickly!”

We let Yoo Da-hee in, and Yoo Da-hee tries to kick us out of the class.

The meaning of this situation was very clear.

“The identity of the third ghost was Yoo Da-hee! “The reason why everyone he met was dead and that no one had ever seen the identity of a ghost was because the speaker himself was the third ghost!”

The identity of Yoo Da-hee.

That is the third ghost that appears in the hallway, 「??? It was clear that it was a “Ghost”!

The identity of the third ghost is a “High school girl ghost”!

“Yoo Da-hee, how could you deceive us! I trusted you! I trusted you! “You b*tch!”

“I… “Get away from me!”

Both Jeongseok and I screamed at Yoo Dahee with anger and fear for having been deceived all this time.

Please go!

If Yoo Da-hee is in front of class 4, we can’t escape!

If we keep staying here, we’ll be trapped mice!

“… ….”

At that time, Yoo Da-hee looked around.

Then, perhaps because something bothered him or because he discovered something, he ran off somewhere.

“Go!”

“Eternal! “We defeated the ghost!”

When Jeongseok and I were embracing each other and jumping around in joy, we started to hear the sound of rattles and rattles. Jeongseok’s body stiffened.

“Hey. This sound….”

“Okay. “It’s the shaman ghost I met during Feng Shui Ghost.”

Tingling-.

Something came towards us from the end of the hallway, shaking the bundle of bells in his hand.

Because I was holding the candle in the hand that wasn’t holding the bell, I could see it quite clearly.

She was a woman wearing colorful clothes.

Her face was so ugly that it could be seen even from a distance, and her tongue was hanging out.

“Wow, I’m scared.”

Drurr-.

First, the classroom door was closed.

I knew that the shaman’s ghost couldn’t enter 「1-4」, But it was just a case in point.

Tingle-tangle-.

The sound of bells getting closer and closer.

Now the distance has narrowed to the point where even the creepy murmurs of the shaman ghost can be heard.

“Where is it? I can’t see it. I can’t see it. Where is it? I can’t see it. I can’t see it. Where is it? Where where where where.”

It still sounded like he was looking for something.

What on earth is the shaman’s ghost looking for?

When I was thinking that, Jeongseok, who was hiding under the desk, quietly asked as if he was curious.

“But Yeongwon. Yoo Da-hee just ran away somewhere. Didn’t it look like he was running away from this shaman’s ghost? “Aren’t ghosts not supposed to harm each other?”

Is that so?

In that regard, Dahee Yoo’s actions seemed to have left the place because he knew that this shaman ghost was coming from far away.

I don’t know what that meant, but the important thing is that it would be a good idea to send the shaman ghost away and join Yang Joo-hee.

Drurr-.

At that time, the door to “1-4” Opened.

I had goosebumps running down my back and felt like I was suffocating.

“It’s here, it’s here, it’s here, it’s here.”

The shaman ghost opened the door to 1-4… ?

Aren’t ghosts not allowed in 1-4?

Yoo Da-hee didn’t even come inside earlier!

When I am embarrassed-.

Jalang-jalang-.

The shaman’s ghost came into the classroom of “1-4” One step at a time, making the sound of a bell.

Jeongseok and I must have thought the same thing at the same time.

f*cked.

Jeongseok and I each crouched under our desks.

We held our breath, covered our mouths and noses, and stayed so still that not even the slightest sound could be made.

Jalang-jalang-.

“Where are you here? Where are you here? I can’t see you, I can’t see you. It’s dark. Come out quickly.”

Light. Light.

The shaman ghost walked around the classroom on his feet wearing socks.

I don’t think I can see, but I don’t know why I don’t bump into the desk or chair.

Jalang-jalang-.

The shaman’s ghost finally passed by the desk where I was hiding.

I became dizzy as I felt goosebumps and tension running from my tailbone to my head with excitement.

I literally feel like I came back from the dead.

The good news was that, as we expected, the shaman’s ghost ‘could not be seen’.

Please leave like this─.

When I was thinking that, something strange happened.

“Wook.”

A stench so strong that it made me nauseous began to assault my nose. This was similar to several lockers and trash cans that had amulets attached to them.

I held back my nausea somehow.

But the problem was that, having grown up as a boy from a rich family, he had no tolerance for such bad smells.

“Ugh!”

Jeongseok vomited loudly, as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.

It was right then.

Jalang-!

The bell rang loudly, and the shaman ghost, who was moving as if he was going to leave the classroom, turned his shoulders sharply and smiled at Jeong-seok with a creepy face.

“Chajaaa! Kihihihihihi! Heeheeheehee!”

It was a very creepy situation.

A woman with her mouth torn open up to her ears sticks out her tongue and rushes towards Jeongseok.

Jeongseok was so surprised that he fell over and had no idea what would happen if he stayed like this.

I… A decision had to be made.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s here! Here! Shaman! You bastard! Here! Wow! Wow!”

I got up from my seat and made a loud noise on purpose.

He pounded on the desk and screamed very loudly.

Honestly, I was very scared.

I felt like I was going to have a heart attack at any moment, but I was able to hold on thanks to the new trait 《Strong Heart》.

“Why did you commit suicide at school and become a ghost? Damn it! You f*cking nuisance b*tch! Argh!”

Jangle jangle jangle-!

“Khihihihihihi! Heeheeheehee!”

The shaman ghost started running towards me. With your mouth wide open. The mouth, which was torn open all the way to my ears, was so big that it looked like it could swallow my entire head in one mouthful.

She is a woman without eyes, so why can she run so fast!

I also ran right away.

If I stopped even just a little bit, I would be overtaken, and I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if I did.

One thing was certain: if you stop, you’re screwed!

“aaah! aaah!”

I screamed wildly while desperately suppressing the feeling that I was going to pee my pants.

Now I am a walking siren itself.

Of course, there was a reason for screaming like this.

“Hey! What! What! You are Ha Young-won! What!”

Yang Joo-hee!

Yang Joo-hee appeared in that hallway!

The sight of Yang Joo-hee holding the light of a lighter in her hand is literally light itself!

I was able to understand the feelings of the people of Gondor when they saw the cavalry of Rohan!

“Hey! Hey Joohee! Help me! Help me! Stab it with a knife! “Stick that shaman with a knife!!!”

The reason why I screamed so loudly was to attract the shaman’s aggro for the sake of Jeongseok, but also to drag Yang Joo-hee towards me.

I thought that Yang Joo-hee would definitely hear the sound and come that way!

“This…” This… “You f*cking b*tch!”

Padadadadat-.

Yang Joo-hee seemed to be running towards me, but then she lunged at the shaman ghost and powerfully slashed its face with a box cutter!

Jalang-!

＞

A shaman ghost screaming in a voice full of anger and pain and clutching its own face.

“That’s enough! Well done Joohee! Then let’s go! Hurry! “Let’s go retrieve Jeongseok!”

When Yang Joo-hee stabbed the ghost in the elevator with a knife, the ghost suffered for about 20 seconds. We had these 20 seconds to retrieve Jeongseok and run to as safe a place as possible.

Of course, now that “1-4” Has been destroyed by the stench, where can there be a safe place?

“Hey! Standard! “Is there one?”

“Oh, oh!”

Jeongseok fell asleep near “1-4” Without being able to escape properly.

He was a complete super coward.

But it was fortunate for us!

If this guy had run too far, it would have been difficult to join him!

Palak-!

After Jeongseok joined us, I unfolded the map using Yang Joohee’s lighter as the light source.

First, we have to find a place to hide!

“Teacher’s office! “There is a teacher’s office!”

Jeongseok pointed to the teacher’s office marked on the map.

But as I remember, the teacher’s office was closed.

“The staff room is locked!”

“Locked? Then around here… Broadcast room! “There’s a broadcasting room!”

Thanks to Jeongseok’s quick reading of the map, we were able to set a goal.

# # #

Fortunately, the broadcast room was not locked.

Because it was a place with various soundproofing settings, when the door was closed, it felt like the surroundings became quiet for a moment.

Jjringjjringjjring-!

“Ahhhhh!”

But outside, the crazy sound of bells and a woman’s screams could still be heard.

The muttering that seemed to be searching for something became filled with screams filled with malice, hatred, and murderous intent after being stabbed by Yang Joo-hee.

If you get caught… It’s going to suck.

“Ha Young-won. I took a look at the map. I think the red lines on this map indicate locked doors. There’s a red door in the teacher’s office too. “This broadcast room has a blue door.”

“Oh. “After hearing it, I saw it.”

It wasn’t helpful at all when I encountered a ghost, but when planning a strategy or analyzing a situation like this, Jeongseok was so helpful that it was almost like flying.

If you look at this map, you can know in advance which areas are locked and which areas are open—that’s right.

The best map! From now on, I will have to put class leader Jeong So-jin in the hallways more and have her ask for good items!

“Huh….”

I lost all strength in my legs and collapsed into the broadcasting room.

Yang Joo-hee soon asked.

“Hey. “What happened?”

“We don’t know the details either. A ghost came into 「1-4」. Before that, there was Yoo Da-hee.”

I briefly explained the situation.

Then Yang Ju-hee became very angry.

“Yoo Da-hee, you f*cking b*tch! It was a ghost? “Somehow it seemed like it!”

Yoo Da-hee was a ghost….

It was an important story, but on the other hand, there was an even more important story.

Why did the shaman’s ghost come into 「1-4」 And start to smell bad?

That was more important to me.

“… “Isn’t the talisman some kind of shield?”

I was imagining that if I had an amulet, ghosts would not be able to approach me, feeling like, “Wow, is this a barrier?”

However, the shaman’s ghost just entered 「1-4」, Which was full of amulets.

Jeongseok said.

“Eternal. I think it would have a similar effect to the “Subtle perfume” You had before. Wouldn’t the amulet have the effect of reducing our presence as much as possible? “It wasn’t completely hidden.”

A talisman does not block ghosts… Its role was to hide the identity of those of us nearby.

I thought I was invincible because I had an amulet, but in 「1-4」, I made a very loud noise to call Yang Joo-hee, and as a result, the shaman’s ghost was aggro, and the amulet did not help, and the ghost came in.

It was a reasonable guess.

“The amulet seems to emit a foul odor if there is a ghost nearby. The same goes for the trash can we were hiding in at that time. In other words, it would have been better not to introduce ghosts in 「1-4」 From the beginning.”

Jeongseok came to a conclusion.

I agreed with that conclusion and felt that I had done something very unfortunate.

I did something foolish thinking that the amulet was invincible, and lost only one safe zone for no reason.

“… So, did Yoo Da-hee know this? “So you were trying to take us outside?”

I recalled the time when Yoo Da-hee told us that we had to come out of 「1-4」.

What if that action was not meant to kill us by taking us out of the class, but was meant to help us because they knew this would happen?

Ah—I don’t know.

At that time, Yang Joo-hee, who was looking around as always, seemed to have discovered something.

“Hey. You. Have you ever seen anything like this?”

There was a large hole where Yang Joo-hee pointed.

A hole in the floor.

It was a hole drilled underground.
