Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10)
Terribly pleasant.
[The feeling of guilt has been separated and disposed of.]
That was really, truly……
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Why was I crying?”
The suffocating sensation that had filled my chest to the point of discomfort, the nausea that threatened to make me vomit at any moment, and even the tears that had begun to flow on their own disappeared in an instant.
I ran my fingertips around the strangely damp corners of my eyes.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Was something like that really a reason to cry?
“……Ah. arcade Right. atomic That civilian died.”
“Boss, are you okay?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“It’s nothing. zenith I just find it interesting.”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Myeong Haebin tilted her head to one side as she watched me.
I didn’t understand.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Myeong Haebin stared at me from so close that our noses nearly touched, but soon smiled broadly and stepped back. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“I guess I meant that I like how Boss is different from everyone else.”
“What do you find interesting?”
It had to be an effect of Waste Separation.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
[The Waste Separation tutorial has ended.]
I wanted to check the new function.
Leaving Myeong Haebin squeezing the hem of her uniform, which was still dripping with water, I turned on my phone.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Range: Things owned by Kim Hanmu.
Allows you to select something unnecessary, separate it, and dispose of it.
[Waste Separation]
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
‘Can I separate and dispose of my uniform?’
Should I test it?
It was an extremely simple explanation.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
[Y] [N]
[Would you like to separate and dispose of Uniform (Daecheonmyeong)?]
So it didn’t only work on emotions, but on objects as well.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
[This item cannot be separated and disposed of.]
After pressing [N], I looked at Myeong Haebin, who was wringing out her soaked hair.
‘I wanted to see how far “things owned by Kim Hanmu” extends, but it doesn’t work on people.’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Was it because a person couldn’t be owned?
‘Can’t I recover something after I’ve separated and disposed of it?’
Does this count as a question too?
[No answer is available.]
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
However, now that I had drunk some water and my head was clear, I could think properly again.
How strict.
“Boss, are you dry now?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
It was impossible to dry off completely, but Myeong Haebin, who had managed to squeeze out a good amount of water, approached me and let out a deep sigh.
“It’s fine. timber We’ll be getting out of here soon.”
“You haven’t wrung anything out! athlete You’re going to catch a cold!”

If my assumption was correct, it should have returned.
I shook out my damp hair and stood up. timber The pond water that had collected in my pants poured onto the ground in streams.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s go.”
“When have I ever asked you to take responsibility for anything, Haebin?”
“Don’t blame me if you regret it later.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
I grabbed her hand and strode through the fog.
‘…….’
Maybe because I was no longer thirsty, my steps felt light despite being soaked.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The shop owner had been right.
It had to be the exit. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
In the middle of a path without even a fork stood a sign pointing only toward the West Gate.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
After throwing trash into the perfect pond, the path to the exit appeared.
Myeong Haebin’s words, which only moments ago had sounded as though she were about to jump for joy, gradually lost their strength.
“It’s the West Gate! sphere Boss, it’s the West Gate! airport Wait, but I think there were anomalous phenomena this time too……”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Don’t you think it’s strange? acid The fish, the temporary booth, all of them were anomalous phenomena. sphere Then why isn’t the East Gate appearing even though there’s a monster in the pond?”
[Completion Condition: Clean the pond of Chodam Park, the horror story.]
Bzzz―.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“The loop and the anomalous phenomena were just decoys.”
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had been tricked.
I turned my back on the sign pointing toward the exit without the slightest hesitation.
“What?! alert After everything we went through?!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Instead of wasting time answering, I started walking back the way we had come.
“Finish explaining before you leave! artist Besides, we don’t even have any equipment right now……”
“Let’s clean the pond.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
First, the shop.
The owner still didn’t appear, but the items I was looking for were still there.
I untied the rope that tightly secured the waterproof tarp.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Tear some bags open. artist Just the sides and bottom, so we can turn them into a single sheet of plastic.”
“But we don’t have any tools.”
Then I went straight to the temporary booth and grabbed a handful of neatly folded plastic bags.
“If there’s no knife, we’ll have to use our teeth.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The cuts came out crooked, but it didn’t matter.
We could join them together with the duct tape I had brought from the shop.
As she reluctantly tore through the plastic with her teeth, Myeong Haebin asked,
The plastic bags were thinner than official garbage bags, so all it took was biting into them with my canines and pulling to tear them open.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“What was the loop in this park like?”
“Extremely long. agent It took away our food, we had nothing to drink, and the anomalous phenomena…… well, they weren’t that dangerous, but they were pretty annoying.”
“Explain a little. advance What do you mean when you say they were decoys?”
All those characteristics had something in common.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Exactly.”
“Without knowing there’s a real monster underneath waiting with its mouth open.”
“The loop in this park exists to force people to walk over and over until they’re completely exhausted. acid When someone reaches a state of extreme dehydration, they eventually drink the pond water, because it looks like the cleanest water available.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“They were deceiving us from the very beginning. aluminum The water-level gauge rose whenever we gave a wrong answer so that we’d become obsessed with the idea that we had to find the anomalous phenomena.”
I tore off a piece of duct tape and replied indifferently. advance I could feel the sticky adhesive clinging to my canines.
Riiip.

“We were so focused on the loop that we didn’t think about the increasing contamination of the pond. palette And in the meantime, we lost the easy way to escape.”
If the level rose whenever we incorrectly identified an anomalous phenomenon or violated something that seemed to be a rule of the park, it was only natural that we would end up paying more attention to the gauge than to the pollution in the pond.
Or, more precisely, I should say that the water-level gauge had blinded us.
It was a blind spot caused by our own preconceptions.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“We were wrong from the very beginning. amber We should’ve just participated in the environmental campaign.”
In the end, the image of the head hooked onto the fishing hook on the No Fishing sign made sense.
As the pollution progressed, the monster in the pond had gradually accumulated strength.
“We didn’t know that at the time.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Thanks to offering the monster a special sacrifice, we could now leave.
But if we left like this, what would happen to the cleaning?
In other words, a person had to be thrown into the pond to lure out the monster that served as the fish.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
When we finished taping it together, we had created a special garbage bag bigger than Myeong Haebin and me combined.
Now that the only trash remaining in the pond was the monster, there was only one way to clean it.
“This should be enough.”
I clenched my molars tightly and tore off the last piece of duct tape.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Didn’t the duck have teeth?”
“It’s not going to work. august It’ll definitely tear! athlete It’s as big as the two of us put together, and that monster is incredibly strong too.”
I had something I could rely on.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Since I had also used this bag when we caught the duck, I didn’t have to worry about whether or not it counted as a garbage bag.
“And how are you planning to open something that big? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. galaxy And how are we going to lure the monster?”
‘The Tool Enhancement clearly said it applied to every garbage bag I used.’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“It’s just that Boss has been acting weird for a while now…….”
“Haebin, since when did you become so distrustful of me?”
I absentmindedly patted her head a few times as she answered hesitantly, then handed her the enormous plastic bag we had just finished making.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Myeong Haebin picked up the duct tape and the enormous plastic bag, stood up, and disappeared into the fog.
“Understood. atomic Ah, seriously, Boss is going to make me die of worry.”
Myeong Haebin bit her lip throughout my entire explanation, but eventually nodded.
“That’s the narrowest section and where the fog is thickest…… understood?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
I watched her leave before heading in the opposite direction, toward the pond.
It was impossible to imagine that a monster capable of devouring a person in an instant lived there.
“Hmm…….”
The water was still completely crystal clear.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Why had the duck attacked Park Hyeonho?
‘As expected.’
But no monster appeared. arch There wasn’t even any sign that a single ripple would form aside from the ones I caused myself.
I dipped one hand into the cold water and stirred it slightly.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
You could say Woo Minhyeong had simply been nearby, but when I had searched for it for quite a while, it had remained quiet. wizard Yet the moment Park Hyeonho stepped onto dry land, it lunged at him.
I had thrown myself into the water and done all sorts of things, but it hadn’t even poked its head out.
The monster in the pond hadn’t attacked us either.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“It was strange that it could be removed.”

There was one difference between Woo Minhyeong and Park Hyeonho, and us.
The ‘Responsible Environmental Guardian of Chodam Park’ wristband.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
In this park, anyone who isn’t wearing the wristband is considered trash. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
The creature at the temporary booth had said.
‘Are you trash?’
I removed the green rubber wristband and dropped it into the pond.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
In the distance, bubbles began rising from the water.
Blub.
I decided to turn myself into trash.
“Good.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
And then it happened.
I instinctively stepped back.
An enormous number of bubbles began rising from the bottom of the pond.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Its jaws snapped shut on empty air right where I had been standing.
The surface exploded upward, and the gigantic axolotl-shaped monster burst through the column of water and shot out.
Woooosh!
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
It had lost the agility it possessed in the water, but its sheer mass was still overwhelming.
— Kiiiiiek! matrix Grrruuk!
If I had reacted even a second later, it probably would have torn off my entire torso.
Frustrated at having missed its prey, the monster let out a grotesque shriek as it dragged its enormous body onto dry land.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Without looking back, I plunged into the thick fog.
‘Maybe we should’ve made the bag even bigger.’
Every time it planted one foot on the ground, all the garbage stuck to its body—old tires, crushed cans, rotting nets, and other filth—produced an ominous mixture of crunching and rattling sounds.
It looked exactly like something that belonged in the trash.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The muscles in my thighs, utterly wrecked after being pushed to their limits for so long, screamed as though they might tear apart at any moment.
‘Where is it?’
The monster’s footsteps crushed the ground behind me, making the earth tremble like an earthquake.
Boom! anxiety Boom! apple Clang!
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The narrowest part of the path, where the fog gathered most densely.
Just as the jaws of the monster, which had shoved its head into that narrow passage while chasing me, came so close they could almost reach me, I finally found it.
Duct tape.
A flat strip of tape lay stretched across the middle of the path like a branch.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Riiip―!
I crouched down and slid across the ground as if performing a sweep, grabbed the tape, and pulled downward with all my weight.
“Haebin, hold it tight!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“Uah! adopt Boss, help me!”
The enormous plastic bag that had been precariously suspended between the trees on both sides suddenly opened like a fishing net and dropped over the monster’s head.
If the trash was too big to carry to the bag……
Then all we had to do was make the trash walk into the bag by itself.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Myeong Haebin, who had climbed a tree to hold the mouth of the bag open, lost her balance and fell.

I ran toward where she was falling.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Thud.
“Huh?! anxiety The mouth of the bag!”
There was no time to worry about the pain in my back, which must have struck something.
I ended up getting crushed beneath her in a rather inelegant fashion, though I hadn’t exactly expected to catch her stylishly.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The monster, which had come looking for food only to end up trapped inside the translucent plastic, began struggling so violently that my entire body shook.
— Grrruk! amber Kirik!
I grabbed the mouth of the bag with both hands before the monster could drag it away and pull it completely open.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Sweat soaked my palms as I nearly lost my grip on the edge of the bag.
I had never had to throw away trash that moved before.
It swung its long tail, which was near the mouth of the bag, and my body went flying along with it before crashing into the bushes.
“Ugh……!” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
“It’s too big! alpha We can’t tie a knot!”
Even then, it wasn’t enough.
“Give me the tape!”
Myeong Haebin, who had already gotten off me, practically climbed on top of the monster’s tail and began forcing as much air as possible out of the bag.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
The instant Myeong Haebin let go with one hand to remove the roll of tape from her arm, the monster thrashed violently and sent the intruder sitting on its tail flying through the air.
I heard Myeong Haebin slam hard into something solid, probably a tree.
“Aagh!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
— Kirik! echo Kyagarak!
The tape that had fallen from her wrist rolled to a stop near me, but after freeing itself from one of the forces pinning it down, the monster twisted its body around, swapping the positions of its head and tail.
I didn’t have time to look.
“Damn it!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
It opened its jaws as though, since it couldn’t bite through the plastic, it intended to chew me up along with it.
Its whitish breath spread across the inside of the plastic and blocked my vision.
Its green gums, covered in sharp metal fragments, looked more like a shredder than a mouth.
‘Why do all the creatures in this place have such fucked-up teeth?’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
I grabbed the protruding end with my teeth, pulled out a long strip, and wrapped it around the mouth of the bag that I was still holding shut.
Just before the monster closed its mouth, I leaned my torso as far back as I could and caught the roll of tape with my outstretched hand.
‘Got it!’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
Then it stepped on my ankle.
Crack.
Instead of biting me, the monster tore off a large chunk of plastic and raised its enormous body.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
I heard a sound I really didn’t like.
It happened at that moment.
“Damn it. afford I did exactly what you wanted! orbit When the hell are you going to collect the trash?!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
It was so enormous that it could have swallowed not only me, but several monsters the size of the one that lived in that pond.
That void devoured the entire space containing the bag with the trapped monster in a single gulp.
Gulp.
A void resembling a black hole appeared in midair.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 31: West Gate of Chodam Park (10) by Indra Translations.
[Completed]
It sounds strange, but at that exact moment, I felt with my entire body as a new string of text appeared with absolute clarity.
