Episode 118: The 3 Million Dollar Man (5)

“Hey you bastards! Is this fun!”

Mudaguchi Genji, who participated in the first round of the Yotube Worldwide Quiz Contest, was now shaking unsuitably for the good cell character in his name.

This is because the difficulty of the game he is currently challenging was such that the words “crazy!” came out of nowhere.

“Chiksho!”

In fact, when Jamie Sue first heard the word escape, he was confident.

‘I’m the one who escaped everything from Jukai Forest to Alcatraz.’

It was because he had already experienced all the escape room cafes in Shinjuku, Tokyo with his girlfriends.

However.

His confident attitude did not last long.

The reality of the game appeared before his eyes.

“Escape room in Tokyo was not like this! You bastard Yankees! I can't even watch zombies!"

Things he had never experienced before.

It was a sight I didn't want to see even in my dreams.

blink- blink-

Full body mannequin on the operating table.

Its eyes, resembling children's toys, blink continuously,

"Help me... give me... please..."

From the mannequin's mouth, words were constantly coming out of the mannequin.

'Crazy lamb cubs...'

Genji's arm, who was looking at the mannequin, trembled.

When he saw the appearance of the second room, he seemed to understand why the tube side had asked him to write an oath.

Even those who successfully passed the first stage had no choice but to stop at the second stage.

Genji looked around.

Then, besides the mannequins blinking on the operating table.

A muddy red liquid stagnated on the floor.

Dirty surgical instruments with dark spots on them.

Even the red surgical lights flickering incessantly.

An eerie landscape caught my eye.

‘Crazy, why is the difficulty level so high all of a sudden!’

In fact, when he solved the problems in the first room, he thought the problems were really easy.

Because the problems in the first room were following the usual escape room cafe method.

Because he's in the first room.

rumble-

Only when he found the door leading to the second room.

“The three million dollars are mine.”

He thought his victory was imminent.

But now.

“Damn it! How can I break this!”

That thought had long been shattered.

"It hurts... save me..."

No matter how much I looked at it, I couldn't even come up with a solution to the problem.

'Damn it! I can't solve the problem even though I found the hint.'

Actually, finding the hint itself wasn't that difficult.

When he entered this set.

[Product order form]

1. It is an organ that secretes digestive enzymes and hormones. The digestive enzymes secreted from this organ are colorless and transparent and perform the functions of proteolytic enzymes, lipolytic enzymes, and carbohydrates.

2. A short organ below the ileal opening in the human right lower abdomen, which has no specific function and functions as a part of the large intestine.

3. It is an organ located in the right upper part of the human abdomen, and it is an organ that performs carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid and protein metabolism...◆ Attention! Prepare the products in the order indicated on the order form.

As if to solve the problem openly, there was a paper with hints on it and an electronic scale next to the operating table.

Besides, the problem.

‘I see that the second one is useless. But you don't know what the first one is?'

It wasn't too difficult, except for one thing.

‘Ah, let’s put what we know first. And then, otherwise, I can upload other things one by one.’

So if there was a problem, it was the mannequin blinking on the operating table.

‘Oh, I really hate it.’

Genji sighed and lifted his head.

Then he walked towards the operating table.

However.

When he tried to put his hand on the mannequin, his hand trembled.

'If you don't want to, why don't you make it with a real person! It’s even scarier because your face is Kongsoon!’

I'd rather not move at all.

Seeing the mannequin rolling his eyes while looking at him even now, he couldn't help himself.

But.

Tick ​​tock-

30 minutes had already passed.

I had to get out of this room as quickly as possible, as I didn't know how many rooms like this were left in the future.

Otherwise.

‘Three million dollars! Yes, three million dollars, Genji! That way, you can make a beautiful girlfriend as much as you want!’

The $3 million prize money will end up in someone else's hands.

Genji, who once again strengthened his will, closed his eyes tightly and put his hand into the mannequin's stomach.

OK.

“Ugh.”

A cold rubber organ touched his fingertips.

and after a while.

He managed to find his first target, the liver.

“Yoshi!”

But then.

Something flashed through his mind.

That's right.

◆ Attention! Prepare the products in the order indicated on the order form.

It was a note at the bottom of the order.

‘I can’t help it.’

However, there was no other way, as we did not yet know what the first organ was.

Desperately, he touched the mannequin's liver.

Then that moment.

“Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou. Darling Allaboo. Darling Allaboo. Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou. Darling Alabou...”

The mannequin's mouth began to move non-stop.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

A loud scream erupted from Genji's mouth as he looked at it.

after a while.

“I really hate dolls!”

His angry voice echoed through the operating room.

and.

There was someone looking at him with a happy expression on his face.

That person's name is Jamie Sue.

He was the CEO of Yo Tube and Executive Producer of this competition.

“Anderson. Who designed the second room?”

She said suddenly, looking at her monitor with her smile on her face.

“Ah, it’s Blacowitz from the design team… is there anything you don’t like?”

Then, the broadcaster Anderson, who was standing next to her, answered with a nervous expression on her face.

But she shook her head and opened her mouth.

"no. Exceeding expectations. I never thought that I would show this level of quality... Hmmm, that there was such a talented person... I think I should consider promotion."

Jamie Sue's words brightened Anderson's expression.

Probably because it was the story that she liked the current situation.

In fact, when designing the second room, there were many differences of opinion inside.

'No, aren't you crazy? What kind of organ trafficking operating room are you creating? Are you going to ruin your company because of a lawsuit?’

'Have you not been to the Escape Room Cafe? What do you need a lover to go to? If you have time, go by yourself. There are many more realistic and scary concepts than that.’

If we follow the opposing side, the overall appearance is too flat, and if we follow the opposing side's opinion, we are afraid of a subsequent lawsuit.

Therefore, the current appearance was made by negotiating the opinions of both sides as much as possible.

Decorating the set so that the atmosphere is preserved as much as possible, but the feeling that this place is a fake is certain.

And the results seemed to be better than expected.

But then.

“What is the audience reaction?”

Jamie Sue asked Anderson.

Anderson then operates the tablet PC for a while and then makes a bright expression.

Then she held out her tablet PC to Jamie Sue and opened her mouth.

“I think it would be good to see it for yourself.”

At Anderson's words, Jamie Sue accepted her tablet PC.

[User 1: I really hate dolls!!! It looks like a samurai, so it's surprisingly girly, isn't it?

[User 2: That's right haha. But in the first room, he was doing well, but in the second room, why did he become such a jerk?]

[User 3: Let's get the atmosphere cool]

[User 4: No, it's a mannequin, so what's scary?]

[User 5: Haven't you seen Satan's doll? Be sure to check it out when you have time. Children's dolls will be scared too?]

.

.

A dark smile appeared on Jamie Sue's lips.

“People are responding well. What is the total number of viewers now?”

“About 73 million people are watching this tournament right now… well, it’s getting higher and higher, so it could be over 75 million soon.”

There are currently 50 contestants in total.

So there were about 1.5 million viewers for each challenger.

Although the engineers under Yotube are being divided in real time, advertising revenue and recognition were also increasing tremendously in real time.

From the standpoint of Yotube, the situation could not be better than this.

Naturally, Jamie Sue also answered Anderson, who had no choice but to have a good expression.

But.

“What happened to the blue chips? Is the number of viewers much different from other people?”

“Ah, that’s what those people are talking about. Please wait."

Anderson's face, who was operating the tablet PC, suddenly began to darken.

Jamie Sue then looked at him with a puzzled expression.

blue chip.

It was a nickname for people whose names have been known for a long time among those who participated in this competition.

As most of them are people who have built up recognition for their outstanding abilities.

In general, they were people who were specially managed by the company because they thought they would perform better than other challengers.

However.

Looking at Anderson's expression on the tablet PC, it seemed that the situation was worse than expected.

Jamie Sue opened her mouth with a slight frown.“No, why? Are you in a bad mood?”

At her words, Anderson nodded her head cautiously.

“Eh... Mystery writer Egatha Fuchs... passes through the first room, and then stops in the second room. No... I'm back in the first room again."

Jamie Sue heard Anderson's words and looked at Anderson with a puzzled expression.

"why not?"

Anderson scratched the cheek with a trembling expression.

“I think it was because I was afraid. When I entered the first room and kept saying, ‘I hate dolls, I hate dolls.’

"Ha, okay... Then what's next?"

"Ummm...and then... the trickster Aleksandr Benham... has surprisingly stayed on the first level and has just found the entrance to the second room."

“Still? You only have 20 minutes left?”

“Is that… there’s a problem with the language of the first room? It seems that I got caught there...Actually, finding the entrance right now is almost a mess, so it will be difficult to win.”

"ha···."

At this point, Jamie Sue's expression distorted.

As much as I had high expectations, I was also very disappointed.

Anderson, who was watching her, opened his mouth in a cautious tone.

“Ummm... Still, O'Brien Sten is ahead of the rest, as we expected. You have already passed through the second room and entered the third room.”

Jamie Sue sighed in relief upon hearing the story.

“It’s fortunate that at least one person seems to be doing everything I need to do…”

At least one person seemed to be paying for the meal, so he looked happy.

Anderson looked at her expression and slowly opened his mouth.

“Ah, and the last Kim Chun-hyung challenger...”

OK.

“Okay. Because I checked Seven Hearts earlier. It didn't seem like there was much going on as expected, but it's okay if I don't have to talk about it. I cared so much, but as soon as I started I gave up…”

Jamie Sue frowned and shook her head.

It must have reminded me of Junyoung sitting on the bed earlier.

However?

"Yes? No, what are you talking about... it is the room that has the most viewers right now.”

Are Anderson's words strange?

Jamie Sue looked at Anderson with a startled look at her unexpected words.

"Huh? I beg your pardon? Didn't you just give up? So you know that the person in charge was also put in?”

Anderson then nodded her head with a look of understanding why.

“From then on, I started moving in earnest.”

Jamie Sue, hearing Anderson's words, opened her mouth with a look of disbelief in her.

“Then what stage is he now? A step or two?”

Hearing her question, Anderson manipulated the tablet PC.

"Let's see... ah..."

In an instant, Anderson's expression hardened as he watched Joon-young's broadcast.

"What's wrong? Will you give up?”

Jamie Jung asked with a still-looking expression.

However.

"no. It’s right in front of your nose.”

The words that came out of Anderson's mouth were not what she expected.

"I beg your pardon?"

When JB Sue asks again.

“It’s just before the escape.”

Anderson smirked and held out her tablet PC to Jamie Sue.

Jamie Sue looked at her tablet PC.

Then she went there.

“In the case of this door, the key . . . is hidden right here. how is it? It's easy, isn't it?"

The figure of Joon-young who solved the last problem came to mind.
