Chapter 122: Room 107 – The Gate Room, The Third Trial Finish (13)

– Han Kain

As I used to be deep in thought, I noticed that simply over a minute remained.

I’m dropping it!

I felt like I used to be on the verge of understanding one thing, however the time was too quick.

The great factor was that I used to be sure who the “execution goal” can be this time.

It might positively be Ahri.

I knowledgeable Elena to guard Ahri utilizing the identical methodology as earlier than.

Nevertheless, the selection was finally Elena’s.

I hoped she would belief me and defend Ahri…

nn

The solar is setting. The day is over, and Hyde’s time has come.

nn

My consciousness light…

***

– sixth Spherical, Han Kain.

As quickly as I opened my eyes, I used to be stuffed with pleasure.

Success!

This time, nobody was lacking.

The Moderator descended.

n n

Congratulations. Hyde’s fifth execution has failed. The Physician efficiently protected the fitting goal.

The Hyde of the fifth spherical was “Elena”. Now Hyde will transfer to a different particular person.

nn

We managed to outlive one other flip.

The order had now develop into clearer.

Han Kain → Yu Songee → Park Seungyub → Kim Ahri → Elena

Solely Kim Mooksung and Lee Eunsol remained as potential hosts.

Elena, who had heard the Moderator’s announcement, calmly spoke.

“It’s secure to disclose now. I’m the Physician.”

“What? Why reveal that now?! Did you get caught?” Eunsol-noona replied in shock.

Elena glanced barely in direction of me and replied.

“Sure. When chosen because the Physician, a hologram together with your names seems in entrance of my imaginative and prescient. Hyde will need to have seen it too. There is no level in hiding it anymore.”

“It’s the final spherical anyway. Solely Grandpa Mooksung and I are left as attainable hosts. As soon as we get by means of this flip, who Hyde possessed might be confirmed.” Eunsol-noona mentioned.

Grandpa Mooksung responded,

“Then simply select between me and Eunsol.”

Eunsol-noona had a special view.

“No, we don’t have to rush. If we make a mistake, it simply will increase the casualties. If we survive another flip, solely one among us will fall, so let’s assume a bit extra.”

Because the dialogue continued, I lastly understood Hyde’s criterion.

My preliminary thought was that it was based mostly on the “order of risk to Hyde”.

Since Songee and I had been Inheritance holders that would have an effect on the thoughts, we’d have posed a big risk to Hyde.

Nevertheless, I quickly realized this criterion was flawed.

Who’s the true greatest risk to Hyde?

Songee, who could not do something till the second she died, or me, who was nonetheless pondering?

The reply is neither.

Seungyub picked Songee, the primary host, proper from the beginning.

Within the subsequent spherical, because the host of Hyde, he naturally didn’t decide anybody.

It was as if he obtained it proper twice in a row.

If the criterion was “order of risk”, Hyde ought to have focused Seungyub instantly within the first or, on the newest, the second spherical.

As a substitute, Hyde focused me till the third spherical.

Furthermore, the “order of risk” didn’t clarify the rating of others who had no Inheritance or hadn’t contributed a lot to the sport.

After a lot thought, I thought of one other criterion.

Probably the most intuitive one for the Resort to judge us by.

Contribution factors.

The extra vital the contributions in every room, the upper the collected contributions, resulting in enhanced Blessings.

Whereas we couldn’t instantly see our contributions, there have been indicators.

Enhancements within the Sanctum of Blessings.

The extra enhancements somebody had, the upper their collected contributions, and the earlier one enhanced, the nearer they had been to their subsequent enhancement.

Once we first visited the Sanctum after resolving the Human Farm, those that had been enhanced had been me, Park Seungyub, and Yu Songee.

Once we visited the Sanctum a second time after resolving the Frequent Sense Renovating Media, those that enhanced had been me, Kim Ahri, Elena, and Cha Jinchul.

Nevertheless, I delayed my enhancement for a extra highly effective one later.

Our third go to was after resolving the Mansion of Worry. Those that enhanced them had been me, Kim Mooksung, and Lee Eunsol.

I observed one thing as I counted.

I used to be current each time.

Wow! Am I carrying this celebration?

nnnn

If I had used my Inheritance extra proactively, understood the standards sooner, or provide you with the concept of tricking Hyde earlier, we might have had an ideal run on this room!

“…”

It didn’t matter.

Nobody blamed one another for not pondering of it sooner within the relentless 15-minute cycles that left us barely respiration.

The remaining time of the seventh spherical was nearly over.

Lastly, the chatter died down and everybody turned to take a look at Eunsol-noona in a considerably awkward method.

Hyde couldn’t possess the identical particular person twice.

Since Hyde had simply possessed Grandpa, the one remaining host candidate was Eunsol-noona.

“Why the gloomy environment? It’s not like we’re saying goodbye ceaselessly, proper? I’ll be going forward. See you outdoors! And… it’s onerous to say this myself, however don’t revive me,” She mentioned with a smile.

“…”

We identified Eunsol-noona as Hyde.

The Moderator descended, and the room briefly darkened.

When the sunshine returned, Eunsol-noona was gone.

The selection is over! The consequence?

Ding dong! Congratulations, contributors! You have got discovered Hyde.

Congratulations on passing the Third Trial. Now, you may revive one of many deceased from the Jekyll and Hyde sport.

A hologram appeared within the heart of the desk, itemizing the deceased.

1. Yu Songee

2. Park Seungyub

3. Lee Eunsol

Jinchul-hyung wasn’t listed.

As anticipated, he wasn’t a revival candidate since he was eradicated earlier than the sport.

Who ought to we revive?

A dialogue started among the many remaining contributors.

Grandpa Mooksung was the primary to supply an opinion.

“Shouldn’t we revive somebody with an Inheritance?”

Elena agreed.

“Certainly. Though the talents of the opposite two are useful, I believe the bracelet can be most helpful on this state of affairs.”

I agreed and didn’t converse up.

Surprisingly, Ahri had a special opinion.

“I believe we must always revive Seungyub.”

“Do you might have a motive?”

“Take a look at the development thus far. The primary trial sealed Blessings, the second sealed Inheritance, and the third sealed Blessings once more. By that sample, the fourth trial ought to seal Inheritance. Even when Songee comes again, the bracelet won’t be usable.”

“That’s simply your hypothesis. Even when it’s true, why do you assume Seungyub’s Blessing is extra helpful than Inheritance? Do you assume his luck is extra helpful?”

“Sure. All through the trials, I’ve observed that Seungyub is absurdly fortunate. Within the First Trial, he ‘coincidentally’ had essentially the most cooperative pretend, the pretend actually did the trial for him. Within the Second Trial, his luck made him randomly shoot the witch’s weak factors, inflicting her to retreat, after which he additionally deceived her with card methods. Within the Third Trial, he successfully recognized Hyde twice. If we hadn’t doubted his selections, we might have ended the sport early.”

“That’s true, however our Blessings had been sealed within the First and Third Trials. Wasn’t it simply pure luck?”

“That makes it much more outstanding. My guess is that Blessings are given to these with associated talents. Eunsol-noona is wealthy and gained Wealth, Jinchul-hyung is robust and gained Braveness, Grandpa Mooksung is talkative and gained Communication.”

Elena chimed in.

“Songee likes animals and gained Affinity, Ahri has many secrets and techniques and gained Secret, and I’ve an curiosity in justice and gained Justice?”

“Precisely. Seungyub is already fortunate, and his luck has been additional enhanced by Fortune. If we contemplate the Fourth Trial the place Inheritances could be sealed, Seungyub’s Fortune can be extra versatile than Songee’s Affinity, which depends on the existence of ‘Being of Chaos’.”

Listening to Ahri’s rationalization, I felt considerably satisfied.

Nevertheless, Grandpa Mooksung nonetheless appeared to disagree.

“I perceive the logic of sealing inheritance within the Fourth Trial and prioritizing Seungyub based mostly on Blessings, however finally, we have to clear the Fifth Trial too. Within the closing trial, wouldn’t Songee together with her bracelet be extra advantageous?”

“If we don’t clear the Fourth Trial, we gained’t even get to the Fifth. Specializing in the instant problem makes extra sense.”

“Don’t neglect about Perro. With out Songee, that chicken has been doing nothing however pulling my hair and consuming sunflower seeds. With out her, it’s onerous to regulate him correctly.”

“Perro has been plucking Grandpa’s hair even with Songee round. He’s simply been idle as a result of there’s nothing for him to do now. Perro nonetheless acknowledges us and can assist even with out Songee.”

Ahri’s behavior of blending casual and formal speech when excited remains to be the identical…

And Perro at all times pulls Grandpa’s hair.

No less than that is constant.

“…”

Grandpa Mooksung insisted on reviving Songee together with her bracelet, whereas Ahri advocated strongly for Seungyub and his luck.

Elena and I sighed, glancing at one another.

Who ought to we revive?

It appears Seungyub’s efforts within the Resort weren’t solely in useless.

I’ll must let him know later how onerous Ahri fought for his /genesisforsaken
