Escape Room: Read The Precautions
First Room- Solve the Secret of Death #1
I slowly took off the blindfold and looked around.
The room was dark, fitting the horror theme.
The room wasn't that big.
I approached the door to hand the blindfold and keys.
Emma
Speaking of which, earlier...
Emma
They did say to fill my pocket.
So, just in case, I crammed the key and the eye mask into my pocket.
Then, suddenly, I saw the notice beside the hook.
The same phrase I saw on SNS was written right there.
Emma
It's the precautions I saw back then.
<Precautions>
~Do not make eye contact
If you make eye contact, run away.~
In the morning, I thought this precaution wouldn't be a big deal,
But when I saw this text in the dark room, I felt an eerie feeling for some reason.
Moreover, there were only those two precautions.
Emma
(It's creepy... What is this...?)
I turned my head and looked around the room.
As the staff had mentioned, a phone was placed on the table.
I put the phone in my pocket as well.
Emma
(I need to find some clues)
Emma
Oh, isn't this a newspaper?
I saw a newspaper lying on the table.
I immediately picked up the newspaper.
<Serial killer reappears after 12 years...
Dismembered body found...>
<Issued on October 4th, 2022>
<The so-called ring Finger Serial Killer, who mutilated and took away the left ring finger 12 years ago, has reappeared after 12 years, causing fear among the citizens.>
Emma
The ring Finger Serial Killer...
<12 years ago, already 5 people had lost their lives to the killer,
and the 6th victim narrowly escaped death.
A few people have posted speculative articles, saying that it is definitely the same perpetrator due to the fact that the killer targeted women wearing red clothes, cut off and took away the left ring finger, and targeted long-haired women.
The police also find it highly probable that it's the same perpetrator, as the sharp weapon used by the suspect looks similar to the one used in previous killings.>
Emma
So... the 'ring Finger Serial Killer' has reappeared?
<According to the testimony of the surviving victim at the time,
the killer is a man in his mid-30s,
with a height of about 170 cm, a thin build, and brown hair.
The recent victim is 24- year old college student Miss Lee, living in Suyeol-dong, Seonam City. She was wearing a red sweater and black pants. One of her black sneakers was found at the scene, while the other is still missing. The police continue to search the area near the crime scene.
Also, a smoked cigarette believed to be from the perpetrator was found next to the victim's body, and a DNA analysis is currently underway.>
The back part of the newspaper was cut off, so this was all I could read.
Emma
Is the theme about solving a murder case?
I put the newspaper back on the table.
As I turned my head, I saw the foot of a mannequin.
Emma
Woah! That startled me!
Emma
(...I thought it was a person)
Emma
(...But why does it only have one shoe on...?)
Emma
(A black sneaker...?)
As I slowly shifted my gaze,
I noticed that the mannequin's left ring finger was missing.
On top of that, a red sweater...
Emma
(This... is the same as the victim I just read about in the newspaper...?)
I was startled and started at the mannequin's face.
At the moment when my eyes met those of the creepy and lifelike mannequin,
The warning I read earlier flashed in my mind.
I was told...not to make eye contact...
Then, everything went dark.
Did the darkness last for about three seconds?
Something like a game status window appeared before my eyes.
<Survive from the serial killer with your best effort.>
<Time limit 60 minutes.>
