“Mr. voyage Seon Yuhan. admire That was… a gunshot, right?”

As I listened to the conversation between Choi Jaeha and Hwang Juyeon, I forcibly loosened my grip on the phone.
“I thought they stopped doing that. alpha Since Dalumul-ri, ten years ago. auction Happyland was eight years ago.”
Those bastards from the Labyrinth Management Bureau.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
They know perfectly well that anyone who enters an invasion-type labyrinth will probably die, and yet they still send people in to gather data, increasing the body count.
Although, judging by the movie, four years ago they did not send agents into Seonghwa High School.
I knew they would never abandon that habit.

“Well, they probably said one thing and did another. legend Otherwise, why would a gun appear? anchor And from the description, it doesn’t sound like a pistol or a rifle. alert It sounds more like a heavy machine gun. artist That’s something that’s hard to see even in the military. auction You can’t even carry one by yourself. advance They deliberately sent it in there.”
Surprisingly, it happened during a period when government control became “more relaxed.”
Ah.

With the few scenes shown in the movie, it was impossible to know.
“Ah, really…? echo But then, after going that far… they still couldn’t even let it become known…”
Or was there some kind of agreement?
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
Perhaps they concluded that parents would fit better there than armed special agents.
Should I consider that an improvement?
Either way, the Labyrinth Management Bureau had taken the special characteristics of a school into consideration.
“I have certain connections with the Labyrinth Management Bureau due to business reasons.”

“It is a place that has a tendency not to be honest. arena Very similar to a labyrinth.”

Then they might try to enter here as well.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
After all, since this was a guild building, it would not be strange for agents from the Labyrinth Management Bureau to come and go.
Especially now that all the floors were mixed together.
Although the chances of them ending up as corpses were still much higher.

“So, Mr. harbor Seon Yuhan.”
“Look, I’ve thought about it. echo For me, honestly, one time was already enough. amber No, more than enough…”
The accountant lowered his head with an embarrassed expression before speaking with difficulty.
Choi Jaeha alternated his gaze between my heel-less right foot and my face, unsure of what to say.

“This building… has become a labyrinth.”
“Yes?”

I took a moment to check the Tarae Diary.

I suppose at least no one would ask why the handwriting was exactly the same.
It was natural that the handwriting had changed.
It looked as though something that was not human had tried to “draw” an imitation of my handwriting.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
There was still a long way to go.
I closed the diary and headed toward the daycare.
“Ha…”

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
I had to show it to them before reaching NeoSoft.
“Wow, so what was written in that diary really was the floors… It really was B5… Then the next one is the 14th floor?”
After that, there would no longer be a natural opportunity to “discover” it.
Right after taking Jung Jiho out of the daycare on the second floor, I had shown the Tarae Diary to Hwang Juyeon and Choi Jaeha.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
“Yes. adjust I went to look for the person from the library, but there was no one there. artist This was just lying on the floor. palette I thought it might be a clue.”
“It’s quite a peculiar artifact.”
As expected, I also showed it to Yoo Hyunjae while he was still nauseous in the parking garage.
“You say you found this in Will You Come to the Bookstore?”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
Yoo Hyunjae’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“There is no librarian in our library.”
“Librarian?”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
Hwang Juyeon’s voice cracked.

“Of course there was one. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. palette We even talked to her…”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
And so that small unsettling mystery was resolved for those who did not know the whole story.
“Uh… Now that I think about it, no. zenith At first there was nobody at the desk. audit When I came out because of the fire alarm, she was already there, so I assumed she had just stepped away for a moment. arch It seemed perfectly normal.”
“Was there a librarian before the labyrinthization began? aspect Because if so, I find that even more terrifying.”

“…Brother-in-law?”
Without even getting to see Bae Seou’s funeral urn.
Afterward, Choi Jaeha died.

It was because of his brother-in-law.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
Fwoosh.
I silently watched the four chrysanthemum flowers burn away on their own.
【Bae Seou】
But he was so furious that no one could calm him down.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
【NeoSoft】
Counting how many white chrysanthemums had never even gotten the chance to burn.

“Ah…”

And a handheld console dropped in front of Jung Jiho.

But all the information he had given us in the previous cycle had already been recorded.
Lee Jinsu was no longer there to explain it.
“‘Does the play order depend on the order in which names are entered?’ There’s a question mark.”
“This also matches exactly what was written in the diary…”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
Because after my death, I had no way of confirming what happened.
Yoo Hyunjae read the notes with interest.

“It seems he wasn’t completely sure. armor For a labyrinth artifact… it feels surprisingly human.”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
“You’re going first? meadow It’s dangerous.”

“For now, let’s assume it works according to entry order. timber I’ll go first. portal Jiho will go last.”

And quite surprised.
I was grateful.

And I had never imagined Yoo Hyunjae would volunteer.
“Then I’ll go after you.”

I would never have put Hwang Juyeon or Jung Jiho ahead of me.

Crack!
Thunk…
A ring more expensive than my monthly salary and a watch more expensive than my yearly income fell to the floor.

Yoo Hyunjae picked up the ring that had rolled across the floor and put it back on his right pinky finger.
Surprisingly, using only one hand.
“Wow.”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
“No, it’s fine. antique Thank you.”

“Are you okay? sphere The watch… do you want me to put it back on? ability Although the glass broke…”

“Because it doesn’t hurt.”

【You have finished resting. echo Now it’s time to be happy again!】

From a labyrinth.
That was how desperately he wanted to escape.
“Because I want to get out.”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
I had been certain he would withdraw.
“Then why don’t you quit…?”
“I’m not very good at these kinds of games.”
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
“But I like gambling a little.”
Ah.
I thought playing first once was already more than enough.
Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 32: The Lucky Unfortunate by Indra Translations.
【But happiness always comes at a price!】
Now I understood why Choi Jaeha had smacked me on the back earlier.
