Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6)

‘Haebin?’

And now where the hell had he hidden it?

I had put on that whole show just to get a textbook.

At that moment, something hard and flat lightly tapped me on the back.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

There was a Korean Language textbook on her desk.

‘You have to call me “Haebin.” accent Although I suppose I should have refused, right?’

Barely moving her lips, Myeong Haebin whispered to me in a voice so low I could hardly hear it.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The Teacher’s words made me react immediately.

“Don’t be so nervous. advance It’s an easy question. antenna Page 91, exercise number 4.”

Team Leader Yong had given her the book he had stolen.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

If Team Leader Yong didn’t have a book, all I had to do was read mine and let him copy the answer from the desk next to him.

While the Teacher read the passage in his monotonous voice, I followed the text with my eyes.

I quickly flipped through the pages until I reached page 91.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I was walking along a lonely mountain road in the middle of the night, where there were hardly any streetlights. ability Suddenly, I saw a human being sitting beneath a bus stop shelter. attic Their head was deeply bowed, and their hands trembled with anxiety. alien They looked especially miserable.

It was a simple question.

Compassion.
Anger.
Happiness.
Fear.
Disgust.

“What emotion should the narrator feel in this situation?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

But both the passage and the proposed emotions gave off that unsettling feeling unique to paranormal phenomena.

‘This book doesn’t have the answer marked beforehand.’

Back when I was a student, there were people who solved the exercises in advance.

All you had to do was read the passage and choose an answer.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I already knew the answer.

However.

But the owner of this book didn’t seem to be one of them.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

That had already been made clear in both Jeong Dohyeon’s test and mine.

‘This paranormal phenomenon hates human beings. shadow It rips out brains and, if it could, it would kill as many humans as possible.’

And if there was anyone who knew it even better, it was Team Leader Yong.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

In the passage, that human being was completely alone, in an extremely dangerous place, and in a state of absolute vulnerability.

Then.

Wasn’t that the perfect prey for an anomaly?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I discreetly lowered my hand out of the Teacher’s field of vision and held up three fingers.

But just then.

Team Leader Yong smiled and nodded.

‘The answer has to be number 3. matrix Happiness.’

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

It was a hunch.

Why did everything seem so obvious?

A chill ran through my entire body.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

‘Since when has anything in this paranormal phenomenon been this obvious? All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ’

If all you had to do was answer based solely on the passage the Teacher had just read.

The answer was in the textbook.

Jeong Dohyeon had said it.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Beside exercise number 4 was a small note connected by a dotted line.

I hurriedly shifted my gaze toward it.

Why would you need the book?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

‘Let’s think a little more.’

The moment I tried to read it, the letters began writhing like worms made of ink.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The passage was a trap.

As if that information wasn’t permitted for me.

The real answer was there.

There was no doubt.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

My entire field of vision turned red.

[Let’s think a little more. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. audit Of course you would want it. aluminum But…]

When I forced my eyes to keep reading, blood began pouring from my nose and fell onto the book.

Gush.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Even so, I desperately separated those letters piled on top of one another and kept reading.

[If you really could do as you pleased…]

I had to.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

A rice cake in a picture.

[…Why would the expression “a rice cake in a picture” exist?]

I focused all my senses as I followed, one by one, the words trying to escape my sight.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Something that looks so real you can almost touch it.

The book was already soaked with the blood dripping from my nose.

But I felt as if a light had switched on inside my head.

But that you can never obtain.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

It was anger.

The anger of having what you desire right in front of you and being unable to reach it.

The answer wasn’t happiness.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I tried to warn Team Leader Yong before he answered.

‘That…!’

But my lips were completely sealed.

I couldn’t speak.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Even my hands, which had been moving perfectly normally just a moment ago, became completely still.

“Shhh. silence If you tell your classmate the answer, the question loses its whole meaning, don’t you think?”

I couldn’t even breathe.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The correct answer was number 2.

It was a trap.

There was no longer any doubt.

The Teacher’s soft whisper brushed against the edge of my ear.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Meanwhile, Team Leader Yong looked me straight in the eyes, as if saying that everything was under control.

But no matter how hard I tried to shout it, the words remained trapped inside me.

And answered.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Incorrect.”

For an instant, I thought I saw the Teacher’s mouth open into an impossible smile.

“The answer is number 3.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The very instant I regained control of my body.

The Teacher’s fingers, sharper than an awl and more cutting than the edge of a sword, came down violently on the back of Team Leader Yong’s hand.

“……!”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I wanted to jump out of my chair immediately.

Meanwhile, the Teacher began explaining the answer in a voice so kind that it was sickening.

But the mere presence of the Teacher in front of me prevented me from doing so.

“Why did you think you would feel happiness? action Did that human being want to obtain it that badly? aluminum Of course, you would be happy. portal How delighted would you be?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Ugh… ngh…!”

“But do you really think it would be possible with such a fragile body? aluminum You should know your place.”

The blood, which first formed small droplets, eventually became a stream that formed a puddle.

The nails buried deep in the back of Team Leader Yong’s hand began slowly sliding downward with a horrifying tearing sound.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Team Leader Yong firmly grabbed the Teacher’s hand that was piercing through the back of his own.

The Teacher held Yong’s gaze, whose eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth, and raised only the corners of his lips.

“Thank you very much for the lesson, Teacher.”

“That is why the emotion you should have felt was anger.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Aaaagh…!”

The nails were ripped out of his hand in one swift motion.

“Exactly.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“I hope the lesson was useful, but I think you should stop by the nurse’s office.”

In the end, Team Leader Yong couldn’t suppress a scream, and his hand began trembling violently.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Tap.

Only when the sound of his footsteps receded toward the front of the classroom could we breathe normally again.

Tap.

Tap.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Myeong Haebin hurriedly pulled out a compression bandage and offered it to him.

“Look at all that blood. anxiety I have bandages.”

“Are you okay?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“No… I just thought we got lucky. arch Look.”

The Teacher was still calmly writing on the board with his hand completely covered in Team Leader Yong’s blood.

However, Team Leader Yong, panting, continued staring at the Teacher with a smile.

“What’s so funny?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Setting aside the fact that he seemed unable to see it.

Had he really done something that crazy, knowing his hand would be pierced, just to place that mark?

On the back of that hand, a Marker of Dismantlement was clearly shining.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Was this really the time to smile with that “we got one” expression, you crazy old man? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Give me your hand.”

Even so.

Haebin extended hers again.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll handle it. arcade You sit down.”

The other students were already beginning to look at us strangely because we were whispering.

But I gently moved her hand aside and made her step back.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

I tightly squeezed the hand, which seemed incapable of exerting any strength at all, to stop the bleeding.

The cut was so deep that the bone was visible.

The wound was severe even at a glance.

Only then did he seem able to breathe a little easier.

Was he carrying painkillers?

Team Leader Yong rummaged inside his uniform with his other hand, pulled out a bottle of pills, and swallowed one in a single gulp.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“If you hadn’t given the book to Haebin in the first place, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Are you already starting to get smart with me?”

But after clicking his tongue and saying he would let it slide this time, he lowered his voice.

He looked like he wanted to knock me on the head.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

It was surprising that he could say something like that with his hand torn to shreds.

“I appreciate you thinking about Haebin, but what are you going to do? palette The Teacher told you to go to the nurse’s office.”

“Haebin is the only teammate you have on your team. orbit If something happens, it’s better for at least one team to remain intact.”

But the real problem wasn’t that hand.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

If that happened.

Only Haebin and I would be left.

Forget the orientation and everything else.

With an injury that severe, there was a strong possibility that, just like Jeong Dohyeon, he would be forced to leave the school.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Well, for now it was only a recommendation, right? altitude Don’t overthink it.”

Damn it.

Out of habit, Team Leader Yong raised his hand as if he were going to pat me on the shoulder.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Understood…”

“Don’t make that face. arctic I’m the one who makes the decisions and bears the responsibility. abandon I’m the leader, after all. artist You just worry about getting home.”

But he immediately frowned from the pain and let it fall again. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

And even so.

Even after swallowing a painkiller, his hand was still trembling from the pain.

Maybe that was why he was the Team Leader.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, the bell announcing the end of third period rang.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Team Leader Yong’s hand, now tucked inside the desk but still giving off a strong smell of blood.

He was still worrying about his teammates before himself.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Dong~

Ding~

Dang~

Dong.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go. accent Move.”

At last, we could talk freely.

“I don’t remember exactly where it was, but there was a general map of the school on the first floor. august Let’s go look at it.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Beside the main lobby, on the wall to the left of the staircase, hung a large map of the school.

The moment the bell rang, we raced down the stairs as if we were in a race against time.

“Laboratory… Home Economics Practice Room…”

“There are Science Labs 1 and 2, but there’s no Home Economics Practice Room.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The three of us practically pressed our noses against the map as we carefully checked each floor.

But there was no place called the Home Economics Practice Room.

“Haebin, are you sure you didn’t mistake it for another classroom?”

“No! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. apple I’m sure I saw it! zenith Then why isn’t it here?”

“Let’s go up and check it ourselves. legend The map might not match the actual school.”

Second floor.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

And even the fourth.

We went through every classroom.

Third floor.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“That’s strange… I’m sure I saw it… It was when I went to look for Boss after first period ended. aspect I’m certain I passed by it. action Then… why isn’t it there anymore?”

There was no Home Economics Practice Room.

On the third floor, where the second-year classrooms were located, there were only classrooms, the second-year teachers’ office, the music room, and the counseling room.

The map was correct.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“Why now? apron It’s at the end of the hallway!”

But Haebin insisted she had seen it while she was on her way to find me.

“Let’s go to the rest area.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

So I led both of them back to the area where the vending machine I had cleaned was located.

Although Team Leader Yong protested, I didn’t want to waste the ten-minute break.

“Haebin, when you came to find me, which way did you go?”

But the machine wasn’t what I was looking for.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The fourth-floor rest area, where the first-year classrooms were located, ended right beside a staircase.

Anomalies didn’t obey common sense.

“Since your classroom was one floor below, I went down these stairs.”

“Let’s follow exactly the same route you took back then.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Maybe it would appear.

I followed Haebin down the stairs.

So I thought that if we recreated exactly the same conditions under which Haebin had seen that room.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“See? portal I told you I wasn’t imagining it!”

“This looks like a secret room. arctic They hid a classroom.”

But.

I wasn’t expecting much, because we had already inspected that place from top to bottom earlier.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Right in front of the stairs appeared a classroom that hadn’t existed before.

Home Economics Practice Room.

The door read.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

Use of this Home Economics Practice Room has been suspended. apron Students are prohibited from entering.

[No Entry]

Could it only be found by coming down those stairs?

“Things like this happen sometimes. aspect What matters is that we found it.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“With it secured this well, it doesn’t look like anyone could hide anything in here either.”

“After all that searching, it turns out it’s locked.”

However, the thick iron padlock and the no-entry sign left me puzzled.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

While I tried to peer through the window to get a look inside and ease my disappointment a little.

I heard a heavy noise beside me.

“Rookie, you underestimate students too much.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

“What do you think I’m doing? arch Opening it. acquire If someone wants to do something in secret, they have to put in a little effort.”

“What are you doing?”

When I turned around, I saw Team Leader Yong, with a thick bloodstained bandage wrapped around one hand, shaking the window.

Clank.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 10: Hwaae High School (6) by Indra Translations.

The words “I’m starting to have serious doubts about what you were like in your youth” nearly slipped out of my mouth.
