Trading for a weapon with 2 limbs. Was Ahri really going to do such a crazy thing?
I opened my mouth.
I dont know what youre thinking, but dont forget the fact that we still have to stay in this place for more than 10 hours. If you stay without your limbs for that long, you will die before we can even go to Room 105 for the doctor.
Ahri. Grandpa Mooksung followed up. I havent stopped you for anything after coming to this place but this ti it is quite worriso. Is there a need for you to go through so much pain just for a weapon?
His words were slightly strange it sounded as if there would be no risk to her life despite her having to go through so level of pain.
We havent had access to any proper weapons ever since we ca to this place. Even though Songee did obtain a powerful Inheritance, its not good for simple and straightforward fights. I think its about ti for us to get one.
Struck speechless, everyone stared at Ahri with their eyes wide open.
But I am still scared of pain. Can you help out, Songee?
Y, yes. But I cant perfectly stop another persons sense of pain. The pain will co back in 10 minutes.
It had been a while since I last heard Songee stutter like that. She changed so much after coming out of the Farm and had turned into a cold and sharp lady, but she was now showing a timid attitude like the shy high school student she was on the first day.
Thats more than enough.
Ahri nonchalantly ripped out her left arm and left leg using so supernatural strength. There was not a single drop of blood as if those were the limbs of a doll.
Everyone was speechless from the common-sense-defying scenery in front of their eyes when a hearty laughter echoed from sowhere.
Hahahaha! Looks like its not the worst day for after all! I am very glad to serve one custor. Well then, here is the Weapon Supply Box but I do not know whats inside the box either! By the way, I recomnd you open the box at Room 105 because sotis, you might get so violent weapons.
Songee hurriedly walked up and used the power of the bracelet and Ahri took the box and sat down with the support of Grandpa Mooksung. After so ti, she started to sweat buckets out and fainted, while we had no choice but to watch on with no way of helping her.
Despite her fainting, the proposals of the mad rchant did not stop.
Now for the next item! Its a sha that everyone is only looking for cheap items, and this is the last cheap one I have. The 2nd Item on the list is Secrets of the Hotel. What kind of secrets? I do not know, but let tell you that these secrets will be very helpful for your survival and your escape! The price is also very cheap. 5 fingers will be enough!
5 fingers was cheap? It was dumbfounding but considering how so items cost peoples lives and limbs, 5 fingers was indeed comparatively cheaper.
Jinchul-hyung said with a trembling voice.
N no we dont want it. Just go. Go away!
Hmm Does nobody want to buy it?
Do all the fingers have to be from one person? Eunsol-noona raised a question.
Noonim! Whats gotten into you?
Be quiet. Do they have to be from one person?
Haha! Unfortunately, that is indeed the case. Of course, you might think it is less dangerous for 5 people to each share their finger, but think about it from a different perspective. That ans I need to tell the secrets to all 5 of you, right? You need to rember that secrets lose value when shared.
Does that matter? We are going to be sharing all the secrets about the Hotel between ourselves though?
That is up to the custor to decide after having a look at all the secrets. Unfortunately, my offer stays firm. All 5 fingers must be from one single person.
I will do it, said Eunsol-noona as Jinchul-hyung raised his voice in return.
Noonim!
Young miss, you should sit down. I think its better for an old man like to take care of horrible things like this.
Whats wrong with you now, sir?
Just listen to . Cutting fingers? Pain is the only problem because the Hotel will put the fingers back together as long as we go to Room 105. Now, Secrets of the Hotel dont you think we know way too little about the Hotel? We wont be getting anything if we are scared of making sacrifices. A life isnt sothing we can pay but fingers Theyll co back anyway so whats the issue there?
You are absolutely correct! Even if I take your fingers, your fingers co back after a good nights sleep anyway, dont they? This is why Im telling you I am making a loss here!
Can you please shut your mouth.
I do agree with what you said, Miss Eunsol. Grandpa Mooksung said. The secret is worth going through pain, but is there a need for a young lady like you to go through that pain? As I said already, I believe it is better for an old man like to do this.
There is no need to feel guilty or anything from this sir, because I am not trying to cut my fingers out of so self-sacrificial mindset. Lets think this logically. Wheres the guarantee that there wont be anything dangerous happening after this transaction is over? Who knows if there might be more monsters? Ahri was the only one that could survive after cutting her limbs so thats why she had to be the one, but cutting fingers is sothing anyone can do, so its correct for soone with a comparatively lower value to do this. Jinchul and sir, you are the best fighters of our group. Songee has her bracelet, Ahri is already unconscious, Elena can fight with the Blessing of Justice and Kain is our last resort. My fingers have the least value.
U, umm, in that case noona. I cant do anything either so how about I
Sorry, but kids should stay out of this. Seungyub, just stay seated.
The campsite turned silent. What this made realise once again was that this noona had a stronger mindset than normal people. Even if she wasnt born into a wealthy family, I had a feeling that she still would have led a life that was different from others.
You can help stop my blood, right sir?
I have gone through enough battles in my life to know that
Hey! So how are you going to tell that secret? Are you going to whisper it to ?
Hahaha! There might be people here with abnormal hearing abilities, so of course that is not an option!
I am not planning on hiding anything though? Eunsol-noona asked again but the rchant replied with a smirk.
Well, that is up to you to decide after hearing the secrets. Please do not worry about the secrets I will let you know in a way that only you can see.
Alright. Kain. You have your dagger with you right? Give it to .
I didnt know what I was supposed to do. Did I really have to give her the dagger?
While I was puzzled as to what to do, noona walked up in large strides and snatched the dagger from .
Im not sure if I can cut them myself. Can you lend a hand sir?
And Songee. I need your help as well. I think 10 minutes of pain relief will still go a long way.
What happened next was sothing I didnt even want to think about. Forgetting it would be the best for everyone.
*
After the deal, the unpleasant rchant blabbered about hoping to have another great deal so Jinchul-hyung threw him away and he never ca back. Left behind in the campsite was a girl with one arm and one leg gone, and a lady with a fingerless hand.
Everyone was feeling very down like we were in the middle of a battlefield. Without even thinking about touching the at, we wandered around the two groaning ladies, and waited and waited while wiping off their sweat whenever we could.
We hoped that the Massive Construction Work of the Hotel would end soon so that we could hurry back to Room 105. Fortunately, the horrible day ca to an end and nothing dangerous happened until the door reappeared near the camping grounds.

I imdiately went to the dining room as soon as it was ti for breakfast. It seed that everyone was thinking the sa thing as , and we all gathered at the dining room in less than 10 seconds. We looked around shortly after seeing each other.
Where was Eunsol-noona?
Where was Ahri?
Surprisingly enough, they were both inside the room in one piece!
Noona! Are you okay?
Haha~. You were worried right? Look at this.
She pushed her hands forward as if nothing happened and fortunately, all her 10 fingers were fine. Everyone then turned to Ahri who also had 4 limbs as if nothing happened yesterday.
I dont need to shake mine, right?
Ahris jest loosened the tension in the atmosphere. Seriously, even though they werent my fingers and my limbs, I had trouble falling asleep yesterday, and everyone seed to have thought the sa thing.
Elena grabbed Eunsol-noonas hands with reddened eyes, while Songee silently fidgeted with Ahris arms before suddenly giving her a hug.
Aht! Unni, if you do this, my arm might fall out again.
Dont say that even as a joke!
Its not like the guys werent feeling anything, and we were just watching them from nearby because it would be a bit awkward for us to go for hugs. I was feeling greatly relaxed and was feeling incredibly happy after seeing them back in one piece, and all the other guys appeared to be under the sa impression when I looked at them.
After we all relieved ourselves of the ntal burden and pain from yesterday, we started a delightful al while talking about the items that we bought.
*
By the way, its surprising that you both ca out in one day. When I was injured, I had to skip a whole day so I thought it would be hard to see you guys today. Especially Ahri.
Well, it was only fingers after all, replied Eunsol-noona. Soone at the level of a dical god that can heal crushed organs in one day should have no trouble healing fingers in 10 minutes right? I dont know though. I didnt even get to talk to the doctor.
My limbs are a bit different from a normal persons. It was probably easier for them to put them back together. And of course, I didnt get to talk to the doctor like Kain either.
A lot of things changed in just one day. Ahri was talking about how her body was different from a normal persons as if it was nothing, and no-one bothered delving into that including Songee, who used to be the most aggressive about it.
The common consensus was to leave it at that.
We couldnt figure out everything happening inside the Hotel, and we only needed to know what was needed. That was the sa for our teammates.
So, what were those secrets? Ah, of course if you dont want to share them then
Co on. Please! Are you pretending to be that rchant? I brought the letter itself in case you had any funny ideas about it.
Letter?
A letter fell on my head when I woke up from my sleep. And the secrets were written there. You can read them yourself.
She tossed the letter as if it wasnt important. Instead of a letter, it was more like a mo that only had two sentences on it.
1. Escape Route 2 is to jump out of the Main Entrance wearing Wing Boots.
2. You can acquire Wing Boots by resolving the request of a mysterious craftsman hidden sowhere on the 2nd Floor.
Escape route So the main entrance that we saw was indeed an escape thod, huh.
Honestly, the first sentence ans nothing but the second one is quite important, because that ans we can go outside if that mysterious rchant sowhere on the 2nd floor makes shoes for us thats called Wing Boots.
Wing Boots. I think I can imagine what they are just by hearing the na. Theyre probably shoes that let you fly, right?
I would assu so.
Hmm. Noonim. This is important information, but its not sothing that we can make use of right now, is it?
Thats true. It doesnt have anything to do with us when we are already having a hard ti on the 1st floor of the Hotel. But we should keep this in mind anyway, because we will be going to the 2nd floor one day. Make sure we look for the mysterious rchant there. Now! Thats it from .
Noona tapped the table once before retrieving the letter.
Then, Ahri brought a box.
