Escape Room: Read The Precautions
First Room-Who is the Real Culprit #6
Seongtae seemed a bit surprised by my question.
Seong-tae Lee
As long as you don't feel uneasy
Seong-tae Lee
I can be with you.
Seong-tae Lee
If it's really Lee Jangjun who's targeting you, this place might be dangerous too.
Seong-tae Lee
Should we go to my house? Or maybe school...
If Lee Jangjun is definitely going to kill me,
and has investigated me...
My house might be actually dangerous.
Emma
(But why would Lee Jangjun? Why me?)
Emma
(And he left the mental hospital yesterday...)
Emma
(Could he have investigated someone?)
Several questions flashed through my mind for a moment.
There was no other way right now.
Emma
Yeah, Seongtae. Your house would be safer.
I made up my mind and nodded.
Seong-tae Lee
Then let's go over before it gets too late.
Seong-tae Lee
Just pack up what you need quickly and come out. I'll be out here smoking a cigarette.
So Seongtae left the house first,
and I grabbed Sooah's half-charged phone.
Then I looked around the room to see if I had missed anything.
Emma
(Did I leave anything behind...?)
Emma
(Ah, right. The diary!)
I opened the diary that I had left on the desk.
Emma
Nothing special inside...
For a moment, some writing on the date of October 3rd, which I hadn't noticed before, caught my eye.
The handwriting looked as if it was hastily scribbled.
That one word was all there was, no other content.
and stepped outside the house as I couldn't waste any more time.
Upon turning on the cellphone, the status window caught my attention.
Emma
(I have 28 minutes left...)
I've survived for more than half the time, so should I be grateful for this...
As I went down the stairs, Seongtae was smoking a cigarette under the streetlight right outside the house.
Emma
(In the beginning, when I read the newspaper article...)
Emma
(The perpetrator was suspected of smoking a cigarette butt...)
Emma
(But... Lee Jangjun doesn't actually smoke...)
Only then did it occur to me that I was the one who got killed-
The thought crossed my mind that it might not be Lee Jangjun.
Emma
(It could be the work of a copycat...!)
Emma
(Why did I naturally assume that Lee Jangjun would be the one who killed me?)
At that moment, Seongtae, who had emptied out the last bit of his cigarette, looked back at me.
Emma
(At all costs, act as calm as possible.)
Emma
(I still don't know who the culprit might be...)
Struggling to act nonchalant, I walked side by side with him, our shoulders aligned with each other.
Emma
Why did you asked if I watched TV?
Emma
Did you do anything fun today?
Emma
So, what... was there any special news or something?
Seong-tae Lee
Ah, no, it's just... I was curious.
While walking along the road, the entire time
I was reminded of the scene where Seongtae was smoking a cigarette.
Emma
(There's a chance that Lee Jangjun is not the one who killed me.)
Emma
(I think I need to look for more clues...)
