Escape Room: Read The Precautions
First Room-Solve the Secret of Death #2
Every time I blinked, the number in front of my eyes decreased.
Unlike the dimly lit room, the surroundings were completely dark.
Emma
(No, that's impossible.)
I thought it might be a well-made VR game, but it felt different.
Emma
(It's too realistic to be a game.)
Emma
(It's overwhelmingly vivid.)
Even the cold wind blowing was too real to be fake.
My heart was beating erratically.
Now I have 59 minutes left.
I'll have to do something.
Emma
(Let's take a look around first.)
When my eyes had adapted a little to the darkness,
I carefully took some steps forward.
Emma
This looks like a remote neighborhood...
I couldn't see any high-rise buildings,
and the streetlights were extremely sparse, almost non-existent.
Emma
(There's nowhere to hide)
Emma
How am I supposed to survive in a place like this...
While grinding my teeth, I looked down
and my gaze stopped at a strong red color.
Upon closer inspection, I was unmistakably dressed as the victim from the newspaper.
I can't believe my appearance has become the target of the killer...
Emma
Does this even make sense?
And then, the terror that crept up my spine
made me hunch down and scan the surroundings.
Emma
(Clues... I should find some clues.)
There aren't many clues I can get from around here for now.
I racked my brain, recalling the content of the newspaper article I read earlier.
Emma
(The victim of Seongnan City, Suyeol-dong... was a 24-year old college student...)
Emma
(If the last victim's testimony 12 years ago mentioned a man in his 30s, by now...)
Emma
(He would have been in his 40s.)
Emma
(About 170 cm in height... brown hair, but he could easily dye it...)
Emma
(There's not enough information about the victim.)
Emma
(The newspaper article alone isn't enough...)
Then I suddenly realized that I was carrying a bag that I didn't have before I got here.
Emma
(There might be more clues in the bag.)
I frantically searched through the bag.
The first thing I found was a phone, but,
unfortunately, the phone was completely out of battery.
There were two psychology-related books and a notebook,
Maybe I should check the wallet first.
Emma
There's a picture in the wallet...
Inside the wallet, there was a faded picture.
One girl and a woman who resemble the girl were smiling brightly.
Emma
(Is it her mother...? Or maybe her sister?)
On the back of the photo,
<My sister's last birthday. I miss her.
2010.07.16>
These words were written with a ballpoint pen.
Emma
(The last birthday...?)
Emma
(Does this mean her sister is gone now...?)
And there were a few banknotes,
Emma
(This should help me find out the victim's information.)
I quickly took the ID card and examined it.
The name of the person who is now 'me' is Sooah Lee.
Since she's 24 years old, just like in the newspaper article,
It seems she's the victim in the article who was killed by the serial murderer.
Emma
But the address on the ID card is not Suyeol-dong, Seonam City...
When I flipped the ID card
Fortunately, a new address was written on it after they moved.
379-1 Seobit apartment, Kyungsan-ro, Sooyul-dong, Seo-nam City...
It's good to know the address, but..
Emma
(My phone is out of battery, how am I supposed to find the way...)
Heavily sighing about the harsh reality ahead,
I remembered that I could use the phone I got at the escape room to get hints.
Emma
Is there anything helpful?
Frantically searching my pocket, I pulled out my phone
Fortunately, there was a map installed as a basic app.
I entered the address on the map and
slowly walked following the marked location on the map.
