I open my eyes wide and await the grotesque.
Empty space fills my open eyes, replacing the burst eyeballs.
Whoosh.
I feel the grotesque tearing through the wind, rushing fiercely.
Its target isn’t me, but the young man beside me.
It seems seeing the grotesque’s corpse was treated as a violation of the rules.

“Ha, hahaha. Is this how I die? If I knew this would happen, I would have cashed in my savings and gone on a trip.”
I heard the young man lamenting his fate as he sat on the ground, but I didn’t particularly feel like saving him.

He’s a kidnapper who abducts children with his handsome face, and he likes young girls.
He was a bad guy I really didn’t want to save, but I decided to kill the grotesque.
In the first place, the reason I came here was to eat.
I kill the grotesque for my meal.

“Kieeeek!!!”
Perhaps resentful of having died once, it thrashed even more violently, swinging its scythe-like long arm at the young man’s neck.
There are many ways to perceive the surrounding environment without relying on sight.
I sense the subtle vibrations in the air and capture the grotesque’s movements.

Thud.
I intercepted the arm the grotesque swung at the young man.
Êň u ṁ ӓ
I tore off the arm as it was, then relentlessly pummeled its torso.
Thwack, whack, thwack, whack.
In case it has regenerative abilities, I hit it repeatedly, surely, until right before it dies.
I tenderized it meticulously, like mincing meat to make tonkatsu.
As I kept hitting it, at some point the grotesque stopped moving altogether.
I groped for the fallen creature, squeezing it tightly as if making a rice ball, compressing it.

Soon, the grotesque became a carefully shaped, round food.
“I’ll eat well.”
As I bit into the round apple, a sticky liquid oozed out.
Not a bad taste, in its own way.
After eating the entire apple, I regenerated my lost eyes, and the young man was staring at me with a blank expression.
“T, thank you…”
Ёñ ům̌ ӑ . i̊ d̈
The young man thanked me with a face as if his soul had left his body.
It wasn’t like I had acted to save the young man, but there was no need to correct him, so I remained silent.

“By the way, what’s your name, mister?”
“Kim Hyun-sung. My name is Kim Hyun-sung.”
“You can speak casually. I don’t mind.”
“Ah… Okay, I understand. I’ll say it again. Thank you for saving me.”

As the grotesque collapsed, the grotesque space melted and crumbled.
The surroundings instantly regained their original alleyway scenery and returned to reality.
Many people were blocking the entrance to the alleyway.
There were quite a few people, from those wearing ordinary plain clothes to those armed with rifles and other weapons.

No one was pointing a weapon at me.
“Princess. Won’t you come to our research institute with us? Those people also want you to be with us.”
E ǹu̇m̊ а.і̃_d̃
Hyun-sung pointed his finger and indicated the people blocking the alleyway with a friendly tone.
They were all wearing forced smiles, as if they were faking it to take a group photo.
“Isn’t that the place that kidnaps young children?”
“Huh? W, what kind of misunderstanding is that? We’re a public research institute run by the country. We don’t do bad things.”
Hyun-sung looked at me with an anxious expression, his lips twitching nervously.
No matter how much he pleads, I can’t just trust and follow someone I don’t know.

“Do you have a place to stay? A place to sleep? You’re not sleeping outside, are you?”
Ugh. He hit the nail on the head.
I escaped from the Backrooms today, so I haven’t slept outside yet, but it’s true that I don’t have a place to stay.
Hyun-sung seemed to gain confidence after seeing my expression and quickly continued.
“If you come to our research institute, we’ll provide you with a good room! We’ll provide you with three meals a day, and there’s a fluffy bed. If you want, we can listen to other things too. How about it, won’t you come to our research institute?”
Hyun-sung forced the corners of his mouth up and made an earnest expression.
E n u m̀ӓ.. і̄ ḋ
It’s certainly an attractive offer.
I’ll need money to survive in Korea, but right now I’m penniless and no different from a beggar.

“Do you have a computer there?”
“Of course! If you want, we can put in not only a computer but also a gaming console. Just say the word.”
“Okay. I’ll go to the research institute.”
When I said I would go to the research institute, Hyun-sung finally let out a sigh of relief, as if relieved.
Ẁ е́b̀ n̊ о̊v̌ е l Е n̆ ů m̌ a.
Hyun-sung naturally took my hand and led me out of the alleyway.
I felt a warm warmth from the hands clasped together.
Some of the people who were blocking the entrance to the alleyway left for other places, and some followed Hyun-sung and me.
I got into a huge car and looked out the window.

The scenery of the Earth, which I had forgotten for a long time, unfolded outside the window of the car heading to the research institute, and I stared blankly at it.
How many hours had passed?
Е̂nům̀а̇
When I got out of the car, a huge white building came into view.
I entered the building with Hyun-sung, passing through several entrances.
Each time we passed through an entrance, Hyun-sung went through various procedures, such as scanning a card key or having his identity verified by a security guard.
Soon, we entered a small white room.
“Can you wait here for a moment? I need to discuss with other people which room to have you stay in.”
“Yes, that’s fine.”

Hyun-sung let go of our clasped hands, left the white room, and closed the door.
As the door closed, the room became a completely sealed room.
‘The thickness is about 50 cm. Why did they build it so thick?’
The white room had incredibly thick walls.
Could it be that a new architectural style became popular while I was gone to the Backrooms?
I felt faint vibrations beyond the thick walls.
Ŵ е̇ bn̊ö vе l̂ Е_ñ ŭ_m а̀
I put my ear to the wall and felt the vibrations.
“What? Is that really true?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Yes. I witnessed with my own two eyes that the grotesque was consuming other grotesques. Also, I confirmed that the grotesque space collapsed, ignoring the rules of the grotesque story, when it consumed another grotesque.”
“If that’s true, the whole world will want to have this thing. The United States and China might both covet it.”
“One thing that’s unsettling is that we haven’t yet figured out what the grotesque’s desires are. No one knows what kind of disaster will unfold if we use it recklessly.”
“Hoo. For now, try to cater to its whims as much as possible. What are the things it has requested?”
Е̇_nũ m̈ a
“That’s… It asked for a computer with an internet connection.”
“What? A computer? We’ll have to tear up the entire floor to lay an internet line in the isolation room. Haa… I’ve never heard of such a request before. Okay, I understand. Go quickly and build as close a relationship as possible with that thing.”
The vibrations stopped, and after a while, the door opened and Hyun-sung came in.
Hyun-sung took my hand again and spoke in a friendly voice.

“You’ll be staying in the best room in our research institute. It’ll take some time to install the computer because we have to do construction. Is that okay?”
“Yes. That’s fine. But…”
Е̌n̄ŭ.m̊ ã . і d̊
As I trailed off, a faint darkness fell over Hyun-sung’s expression.
“Can you let go of my hand? Why do you keep holding my hand? I hate men.”
“…Ah.”
Hyun-sung quickly dropped our clasped hands.
The darkness disappeared from Hyun-sung’s expression, but it became a complex and subtle, unreadable expression.
“S, sorry. I won’t hold it again.”

Eventually, Hyun-sung and I moved to the room I was assigned to.
While moving to the room, Hyun-sung walked two steps away from me.
The room I finally arrived at was a bit unusual.
Various security devices were attached to the entrance, and the door was made of thick metal.
I could only enter the room after passing through double and triple entrances.
“Well, this is the room you’ll be staying in from now on. I’ll be going now. Take care.”
E n ǔ m̊ а̀ .і́d
I said a simple farewell to Hyun-sung and parted ways.
I was left alone and looked around the room.

I had predicted that the research institute room would be all white, but it wasn’t exactly like that.
It had a comfortable interior with a strong atmosphere of an ordinary home.
“Huh? There’s a computer?”
Hyun-sung had clearly said that it would take time to install the computer, but a computer was placed on one of the desks.
Е̄n̄úm а̇..і̀d̂
Did they bring a computer without an internet connection in advance?
“But why did they give me such an old computer?”
The computer looked very old at first glance.
The monitor was a CRT monitor with a bulging back that I had only heard of.

In addition, the case of the main unit, which was once pure white, was faded and yellowish.
I felt a little upset about the computer that would be suitable for a museum.
Е̊n u m̆ а̊.і̆d̂
Still, since there’s a computer, I decided to turn it on for now.
Surprisingly, unlike its old appearance, the latest operating system was installed.
After turning on the computer, I clicked on the internet browser.
