After I saw that message, everything around me turned white started moving up.
"Wooaahh-!"
Then I woke up again
" AHHH, I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!"
The man runs to the door to try to get out, but gets pushed back by an invisible barrier.
"What's going on? I'm back?"
But I'm sure I got stabbed, so I really went back in time.
Then the angel comes back,
[You guys can't leave until the Game is over!]
[ I see that most of you aren't moving enough, so I'll speed this up for you!]
The angel snaps his fingers, and the time left shortens.
-[ Time Left: 22:34-->10:00]-
[ There! Now you only have 10 minutes left!]
Since I know what's going to happen, I look to my right and see the man already starting to run at me.
"Tsk! Not this time!"
I quickly move out of the way, and kick his arm up so that it doesn't stab anyone, causing him to toss the knife next to Jinsung. I fall down because of the way I kicked it and the man kept moving and ended hitting himself on the seat and getting knocked out.
I sighed in relief.
"Junghwa are you alright?!" asked Soonhyeok
"That guy came out of nowhere!" said Minjoo
"Yes I'm okay, I have some quick instincts. Thanks for worrying about me, but we have to find more cockroaches so we can survive, we only have 10 minutes. Let's meet back up after we find one."
Everyone nods in agreement and we begin looking for more cockroaches, people kept looking at us wondering what we were doing, I told everyone not to tell anyone before you find a cockroach. Eventually, we all find a cockroach and group up.
-[Time left: 1:58]-
I look over at the passengers, and all the other passengers were fighting each other, some were even beating people to death in groups.
"Alright, 3...2...1!"
Everyone crushes the cockroaches they had, and I was about to, but the guy that stabbed me woke up and bumped into me, causing me to drop my cockroach.
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
"Huh? Wait...the cockroaches! HEY EVERYONE!! YOU CAN JUST KILL COCKROACHES INSTEAD OF KILLING EACH OTHER!!"
Everyone heard him. They realized what he had just said, and they all got down and started looking for more cockroaches, but they won't find any more than one now because there were only 5 cockroaches on this cabin.
"Junghwa! Quick, we gotta find your cockroach!"
said Soonhyeok.
"Oh! Right!"
I had completely forgotten that I dropped my cockroach. We start looking for my cockroach.
-[Time left: 30 seconds]-
"Damn it, where is it?! said Minjoo
-[Time left: 20 Seconds]
" I can't find it!" said Jinsung
-[Time left: 10 seconds]
Shit! Am I going to die again?! I can't just keep dying, I can't just keep repeating the same events over and over!
-[ Time left: 5 seconds]-
With only five seconds left, I'm already at the back of the cabin. I look to the other side and see a woman holding the last cockroach.
I look at her, she looks at me, and crushes the cockroach.
-[Time left: 0s]-
"Junghwa!"
Who said that? I wondered while I felt pressure quickly and painfully building up in my head, and I black out.
-[You have died]-
-[Regression is being activated]-
Then, I wake up again
"AHHH! I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!"
I see the man try to get out the door and fail.
And yet again, the angel showed up.
[You guys can't leave until the Game is over!]
[ I see that most of you aren't moving enough, so I'll speed this up for you!]
The angel snaps his fingers, and the time left shortens.
-[ Time Left: 22:34-->10:00]-
[ There! Now you only have 10 minutes left!]
I'm still in shock from how I just died, that I forgot that a man was going to stab me, so he stabbed me again.
I fell back on my seat from the force of him stabbing me, and Soonhyeok takes off his jacket and covers my wound to stop the bleeding, and Shinhui grasped my cheeks and said, " Junghwa! Junghwa, please!"
Please? Why are you saying this? You barely know me.
"You can't die!"
Why not? I'm just gonna keep dying.
"You have to live!"
When I heard those words. Those words gave me enough willpower to think straight.
"That's right. I need to live."
-[You have died]-
I see a bright light and wake up again
"AHHH! I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!"
I see the man try to get out the door and fail.
And, the angel showed up again. Then I ask everyone to huddle up,
" Guys, listen, I think I know a way we can survive without killing anyone. The angel is asking us to kill a living creature, not a human, so we can kill something like cockroaches."
The group looks at me and at each other.
"Are you sure?" asked Soonhyeok
"If you're wrong, we could all die," says Minjoo
I can tell they're scared and still shocked from the situation.
"Please just trust me on this, if you don't, then would you rather live by killing people or live without killing anyone?"
Everyone looked at each other,
" Alright, I trust you, Jung-hwa," said Soonhyeok,
" I trust you too," said Minjoo,
" Me too! I trust you too, Junghwa!" said Shinhui,
"I'll always trust you Junghwa!" said Jinsung
The angel snaps his fingers, and the time left shortens.
-[ Time Left: 22:34-->10:00]-
[ There! Now you only have 10 minutes left!]
"Alright, thanks, guys!"
Then I turned around and saw the man starting to run at me with the knife. So I quickly turn around, separating myself from the group in the process, and confidently grabbed his wrist withand pulled it behind me and then punched his solar plexus.
"Wow, I did not think he would get knocked out in one punch."
" What the hell!? Did he just try to kill you?! " screamed Minjoo
"Are you okay?" asked Soonhyeok
"Whoa! That was really fast! How did you know he was coming?" asked Jinsung
"Yes, I'm okay, and I saw him at the corner of my eye and acted quickly, there's no way I'm gonna get killed that easily."
Even though he had already killed me two times. Those aikido classes came in handy even in this situation.
"But, now that's over with, let's find those cockroaches."
-[Time left: 8:55]
We then spent the next 6 minutes searching for the cockroaches, people were yet again looking at us, wondering what we were doing, but eventually we all found all of the cockroaches and met back up, but this time away from the knocked out.
-[Time left: 1:52]-
"Alright, on three
1...
2...
3!"
We all squished the cockroaches at the same time.
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
-[ You have killed a living creature, you have received 300 coins]-
" It worked! I never doubted you Junghwa" said Minjoo
"Sure..." I said sarcasticly
But out of curiosity, I looked over at the woman that killed my cockroach last time and got me killed, and I saw her holding a lizard. I couldn't believe it, she already had something to kill, and she didn't, but why?
"That's interesting..."
"Huh? did you say something Junghwa?" asked Shinhui
"Oh! Sorry it's nothing..." Before I could finish my sentence, I looked past Shinhui and saw another cockroach under the seat. I never expected that, I quickly run past everyone, duck down and grab the cockroach.
"Whoa! is that another cockroach? Are you gonna keep it?" asked Minjoo
"Hmm...Probably not..."
I start walking towards the woman with the lizard.
"Wait, where are you going?" asked Minjoo
" I'll be right back!"
There has to be a reason why she didn't kill that lizard, it may be her pet or something. She may have killed me last time, but she might be useful later. I walk up to her and whisper,
"Y'know, you don't have to kill someone to survive right now."
