Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5)
I snapped back to my senses and reached out to pull Woo Minhyeong by the arm. adjust What was Park Hyeonho doing?
Woo Minhyeong’s eyes flew wide open, and when the pain hit her a moment later, she writhed and dropped to her knees, letting out an agonized scream.
“Aaaaaagh!!”
“You over there! galaxy What are you doing? harbor Are you just going to leave her like this?!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Chunks of flesh flew in every direction, and Park Hyeonho’s face, as he watched it all from closer than anyone else, turned completely pale.
“No, I, uh…….”
The duck didn’t just bite down on Woo Minhyeong’s calf. anchor It violently shook its head like a rabid dog refusing to let go of its prey.
He had panicked.

“Haebin, take that man and run.”
Could I force that tightly clenched beak open?
“Yes! All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com beacon What about you, Boss?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
In its place, an enormous amount of blood began gushing from Woo Minhyeong’s calf, where a fist-sized chunk of flesh had been torn away.
Wham!
It looked like a duck on the outside, but on the inside, it was an anomaly. ability Rather than grabbing it and awkwardly wrestling with it…… Screw it.
I kicked it in the stomach, and the duck, much lighter than I expected, went flying into the bushes beside the path and crashed into them.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Hold her.”
I released Woo Minhyeong’s arm as she panted, her face covered in tears and saliva.
“Aaaaaagh!! crystal H-Hah, haah! amber My leg, s-save me…….”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Rustling and scraping sounds came simultaneously from the bushes where the duck had been sent flying.
Park Hyeonho, who had gone ahead while Haebin practically dragged him along, must have heard the scream because he came back, his face still deathly pale.
The creature limped out from between them as though the kick had broken one of its legs, the feathers on its chest soaked in blood.
“Minhyeong, hey, Woo Minhyeong. advance Stay with me. portal Are you okay?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The creature opened its empty maw wide and spread both wings.
Inside its beak, instead of a tongue or teeth, several layers of shards from broken glass bottles of various colors were growing.
Inside its mouth, it noisily chewed the chunk of Woo Minhyeong’s flesh until it finally swallowed it.
— Quaaack!
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Aren’t you going to hold her?”
Park Hyeonho’s unfocused eyes turned toward me. alien He seemed to regain his focus and nodded.
No wonder her leg had ended up like that after being bitten by that thing.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Hah, haah……. alpha It hurts…….”
In my current condition, carrying an adult woman by myself while we fled would have been too much, but when Park Hyeonho supported Woo Minhyeong’s other arm, the weight I had to bear decreased considerably.
“M-Minhyeong. antenna Let’s go. arctic Okay?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Yes!”
— Quack, quack! legend Quack!
I entrusted the task to Haebin, the only one among us who could move freely, while Park Hyeonho and I supported Woo Minhyeong, who was trembling and could barely use her left leg.
“Haebin, go ahead and record the anomalies.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“What happened to the path? amateur Hey, i-is this the same path we came through before?!”

The duck’s metallic, strangled quacking pursued us, accompanied by the flapping of its wings and the uneven sound of its feet splashing against the ground.
The park had clearly changed.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Leaves hanging from the overgrown trees repeatedly lashed against our faces.
“Yes, it’s the same one. canvas Keep moving.”
The humidity had increased so much that a whitish mist covered the area, making it difficult to see normally.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“How can you be so sure?”
“Then stay there.”
Park Hyeonho’s breathing grew ragged as he felt threatened by the transformed surroundings.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Could I have said it more kindly?
Since he didn’t want to run into the duck again either, Park Hyeonho hoisted Woo Minhyeong’s arm higher and began moving forward with greater effort.
“……Fuck off!”
Try walking 45 kilometers without eating or drinking anything, staying constantly on edge, and then running while carrying someone with a mangled leg.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
— Quaaack!
The duck continued chasing us without falling behind, dragging one of its legs.
Let’s see if you can still come up with kind words.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“What are you doing?! riddle Cross!”
Park Hyeonho, who had been breathing heavily just moments ago, stood frozen in front of the stepping stones crossing the pond, unable to move forward.
However, our group suddenly came to a stop.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“The water rose even more! anxiety And what the hell are all these weird fish?!”
Haebin, who had already made it about halfway across the stones, shouted from ahead, but Park Hyeonho’s terrified voice trembled.
The level had risen again.
The pond water was already covering the stones enough that it would reach the tops of our feet as we crossed.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
As if desperate to escape the water, they forced their way onto the stones and even onto dry land, where they writhed and flapped around.
The duck’s shrill quacking drew even closer, accompanied by the cracking of branches as it pushed through them.
— Quack! album Quack! wizard Quack!
The fish had multiplied tremendously as well. arch There were so many of them that it looked more like a landfill than a pond.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Park Hyeonho cursed and jumped onto the stones. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“Ugh…… Ugh……. apron Fuck!”
The foul-smelling water splashed violently.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Shit! accent I fucking hate this shit, fuck!”
Following Park Hyeonho, who couldn’t stop swearing, we climbed one after another onto the stones crossing the pond.
The garbage fish trapped beneath his feet thrashed violently, making the surface of the pond bubble as though it were boiling.
And I couldn’t blame him. athlete Every time we stepped on one of those fish made of garbage, they burst and spilled their guts everywhere.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
But we couldn’t stop or turn back. acquire All we could do was look straight ahead and force ourselves to take one step after another until we reached the opposite shore, which had practically turned into a mud pit as well.
Feeling that water seep into our shoes was disgusting beyond description.
The water was sticky and crunchy, a mixture of glitter, pieces of plastic, straws, and things resembling melted ice cream.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Hah, the duck, haah…….”

With our breathing pushed to the limit, only then did we realize that we could no longer hear the duck’s quacking.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Now that we could finally stop running, exhausted groans began sounding from all around.
“I’m seriously going to die…….”
“Looks like…… it’s gone, hah…….”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“S-Slowly, plea…… Aaaaaagh!”
“……Let’s have Ms. zenith Minhyeong lie down here for a moment.”
I was no exception. crystal My entire body was drenched as though I had just stepped out of the shower.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The wound, with an enormous chunk of flesh missing from it, had come into contact with that contaminated water and now looked so revolting that I hesitated to even touch it. arcade On top of that, it was still bleeding.
Of course, I had never treated a person before.
Even changing her position seemed to cause unbearable pain, and Woo Minhyeong’s scream echoed through the silent park.
‘How do I stop the bleeding?’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
At that moment, Haebin lightly nudged me aside with her shoulder and slipped in between us.
I vaguely remembered having some unopened disposable cloths inside my bag, but we had lost everything and now I had nothing.
All I knew how to do was put on a bandage, apply ointment, and take someone to the hospital.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Park Hyeonho took off his windbreaker almost reflexively and handed it over. crystal Haebin took it and, without the slightest hesitation, pressed it firmly against Woo Minhyeong’s wound.
“Let me see. meadow You, take off your jacket!”
“Of course it hurts! anxiety You’re alive because it didn’t reach your artery. silence And are you just going to stand there and watch? audit At least lift her leg. crystal Boss, bring me the headband she was wearing.”
“Agh! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. august Hah……. action It hurts, it hurts.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
She tightly tied the headband a little above Woo Minhyeong’s wound while Park Hyeonho kept her leg raised. atlas Apparently deciding that wasn’t enough, she snapped off a long branch hanging nearby, slipped it through the headband, and twisted it like a tourniquet to tighten it even further.
Although she had suggested abandoning them not long ago, Haebin seemed much more accustomed to this kind of situation than I had imagined.
Only then did the blood that had been dripping nonstop begin to slow.
“Huff! alert We’ve stopped the bleeding for now. audit Though I don’t think she can hold out like this for very long.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh…….”
“You’re skilled. alert Have you done this a lot?”
After tightly tying one of the windbreaker’s sleeves to maintain the pressure, Haebin finally straightened her back, as if she could relax a little.
“A little? timber Team Leader Yong says people like us, who get injured so often, should learn this stuff, so he gives us first-aid lessons from time to time.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Do you really work for a cleaning company?”
Park Hyeonho, who was still holding up her leg, stared at us.
Woo Minhyeong still seemed to be conscious.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Before I could make up an answer, Haebin spoke first.
Ah.
Right. matrix Employees at a normal cleaning company usually didn’t get injured this often.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“You should be grateful. anxiety What if we didn’t work for a cleaning company?”
“We went through the trouble of explaining everything to you, and all you do is question us. apron You’re just getting in the way.”
“I-I was just asking.”
“I’m sor……ry.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Well, he had probably become aggressive because he was having trouble accepting the situation too.
I would try to understand.

The defiant attitude he had shown earlier disappeared, and Park Hyeonho apologized timidly, completely subdued.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The fish desperately trying to escape the pond, and the duck, which had never left the water before……
Anyway, before crossing the pond, we had clearly heard the duck’s noisy footsteps and quacking, but now there was absolutely no sound.
‘It seems like something changed. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. ’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
But the rising water level alone didn’t seem like enough of an explanation.
If so, it would make sense that the duck couldn’t cross.
What was I overlooking?
‘Did something happen in the pond that’s preventing it from feeding in the water?’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The park, which hadn’t seemed particularly dangerous at first, was now beginning to take on an appearance worthy of a horror story.
Woo Minhyeong, lying on her back on the ground, panted in a voice that sounded as though she were on the verge of death.
There was only one level left before [Perfect].
“Can’t we…… rest for a moment before we keep going……?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Without knowing what variable was affecting the pond, I didn’t want to waste any more time.
“I’d like to let you rest longer, but if we’re not careful, you might end up resting forever.”
And there was also the condition of Woo Minhyeong’s leg.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Good decision.”
It happened just as I took her hand.
Woo Minhyeong clenched her fist as if she had made up her mind and began to sit up, reaching out her hand for me to help her.
“I-I’ll go. arch I can…… keep going.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
And then Woo Minhyeong’s head disappeared.
Completely white feathers filled my field of vision for the briefest instant.
Flap―.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The hand she had just reached toward me fell.
Her heart, which had not yet stopped, continued pumping blood, and a stream of fresh blood shot from her carotid artery like a fountain.
Thump. athlete Splurt, gush.
I had never wanted to know what sound a person’s body made when it lost its head.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
The headless body collapsed onto its knees on the ground.
A name stumbled from Park Hyeonho’s lips, never reaching completion.
“Woo, Woo Min…….”
It was an empty call that no longer had anyone to reach.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
My gaze naturally shifted toward it.
A beak opened and closed with a sound as though something were chewing ravenously.
— Quack, kwek.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
A lock of fine, curly hair, along with an ear, protruded above its beak before being swallowed and disappearing.
And as if even that weren’t enough, the creature continued snapping its beak as though chewing its cud while staring at us.
The duck stood there, flapping its fully spread wings with its beak raised.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Before that, could a duck even tear a person’s head off in the blink of an eye?

No.
Was it possible for such a small duck to swallow a person’s head whole?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
‘Instead of crossing over the stones, did it follow us all the way around the edge of the pond?’
From the spot soaked with Woo Minhyeong’s blood all the way to the bushes along the edge of the pond, a trail of white, misshapen feathers marked its path.
Only then did I notice the ground beneath its feet.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
“Fuck……. ……say it.”
The last thread of sanity he had been clinging to had finally snapped.
Park Hyeonho’s muttering broke the silence.
His eyes, red from the whites all the way to the eyelids, bore into me.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
What could I say to him?
I already knew that horror stories could take human lives as easily as those of mere flies.
“Tell me right now that this is a fucking hidden-camera prank!!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
At that moment, Haebin punched Park Hyeonho.
Wham!
But seeing it happen right in front of my eyes……
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
With her fist.
The blow was strong enough to make him stagger as he clutched his face.
In the cheek. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Then she turned toward me and smiled broadly, as though expecting praise.
It was so sudden that even Park Hyeonho, who had been beside himself with rage just a moment ago, stared at her in complete shock.
“I already told you that you were getting in the way.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
She had been calm for so long that I had forgotten.
“I tried to do it the way I was taught, but I guess it’s not that easy to knock someone unconscious with a single punch!”
Right.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Myeong Haebin was that kind of person.
The headache I had forgotten returned.
Someone capable of becoming infinitely inhuman.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Park Hyeonho had lost his mind.
Woo Minhyeong was dead.
“Haebin, the situation is already complicated enough. academy Don’t cause me any more problems.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
And on top of that……
No feeding.
Myeong Haebin was acting unpredictably.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
Hadn’t the water-level gauge gone up again?
“Since it looks like we’re screwed anyway, why don’t we feed the duck some more first?”
If it had finally reached the maximum, then what came next would be……
Was this really okay?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 26: West Gate of Chodam Park (5) by Indra Translations.
I literally just told you not to cause me any more problems.
