Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1)
‘Do these hands attack?’
Along with the pungent smell of decomposition beginning to set in, I was suddenly hit by an intense scent of blood that I hadn’t noticed before.
That didn’t seem to be the case.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Above the swaying hands, I briefly caught sight of Jeong Dohyeon’s face.
They were simply the hands of dead people, swaying irregularly more or less at eye level.
“Hanmu! beacon What are you doing in there?!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“You said you were going to give us the sticker. alien Obviously, I had to follow the guy who said he was going to give me something, right?”
Jeong Dohan was there too.
I asked Jeong Dohan.
“Why did you come this way? absorb Why didn’t you go through the staff door?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Considering Team Leader Jo and Seo Gitae had gone in through there, there was clearly some method.
“My brother is talking nonsense. meadow That door wouldn’t open. crystal It seems there’s some condition for being able to enter.”
But we, who had no information, had no choice but to enter the exhibition hall.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I’ll find my phone and come right out.”
Where did it go?
“And why are you in there?”
I thought it would be easy to distinguish because it was black, but since they all had similar shapes, it was difficult to find.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Outside the exhibit, the docent and Jeong Dohan were arguing.
“Human Exhibition: On the Infinity of the Human Body is an exhibition that explores the theme of ‘the infinity of humanity’ and expresses it through art.”
“He says he lost something inside the exhibit. wizard Shouldn’t you help him find it?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Our exhibition primarily uses human men and women between the ages of twenty and thirty, with the goal of pushing the beauty of the human body to its limits…….”
“That’s not what I asked.”
It didn’t seem possible to have a normal conversation with him.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Jeong Dohyeon seemed worried because I was inside the exhibit.
“Hey, Jeong Dohyeon!”
“Hyung, this isn’t going to work. arctic I’ll go in and quickly find Hanmu’s phone.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Like spiders descending on their threads, the hands had lowered themselves to shoulder height. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
At that moment, one of the hands touched my shoulder.
‘No way. crystal They were all at eye level…….’
When had they lowered themselves?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Ignoring Jeong Dohan’s attempt to stop him, Jeong Dohyeon entered the exhibit to help me and pointed in one direction.
It was an instinctive bad feeling.
“……Dohyeon. alien I think you’d better get out.”
“The hand from before was black, right? afford I think I caught a glimpse of it over there.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
The black hand, as if realizing it had been discovered, jumped to the floor.
I turned my head toward where Jeong Dohyeon was looking.
“But Hanmu’s phone is over there. voyage Aren’t you going to take it back?”
“Shit!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Stiff joints, bones, and flesh completely devoid of body heat began feeling my face.
Forgetting my bad feeling, I took a step toward the center of [Ten Thousand Left Hands] to retrieve my phone first.
At that instant, the ‘hands’ grabbed hold of me.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Callused fingertips brushed across my eyelids before sliding down my cheeks.
The hands, carefully arranged to fit within that supposed work of art, began pressing down on my shoulders and wrapping around my waist, immobilizing me with brutal strength.
The more I tried to force my way forward, the worse the situation became.
‘Disgusting!’

“Give me back my phone before you run away!”
“I’ve got it!”
I knew shouting at a thief to return what it had stolen was stupid, but it was the only thing I could say while those hands kept me trapped.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I only need the phone. aspect Just the phone!”
Jeong Dohyeon, who was less restrained than I was, lunged at the black hand.
“This hand is stronger than it looks…….”
The black hand, trapped between his hands, writhed like a fish freshly pulled from the water, trying to escape.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
And as if that weren’t enough, it shot out of the exhibit without even looking back.
The moment Jeong Dohyeon let go with one hand to try to snatch the phone away, the black hand escaped his grasp.
Slip.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Sorry.”
It was my fault for stupidly letting my phone get stolen in the first place.
After the black hand disappeared around the corner of a tall partition, the threat surrounding us became much more obvious.
“……You have nothing to apologize for, Dohyeon.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“The hand you are currently observing belonged to a thirty-four-year-old man who managed a chicken restaurant.”
Outside, the docent continued explaining details about the works to Jeong Dohan that no one had asked about.
“We’d better think about how to get out of here.”
Although we were already right in the middle of [Ten Thousand Left Hands], with dozens of hands gripping us so tightly that we couldn’t even move our feet.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Although I had barely had time to read them, I remembered the app’s instructions.
Explanation?
“The hand on the left belonged to a twenty-one-year-old woman. adapt If you observe the gel nail polish on her fingertips…….”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
It is recommended that you listen carefully to the audio guide and appreciate the works according to its instructions.
If there were works on display, there had to be one somewhere.
The audio guide.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“You mean the QR code? atom This?”
“Dohan! galaxy Do you see an audio guide out there?”
I twisted around, trying to shake off even one of the hands clinging all over my body, and shouted to Jeong Dohan.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Beside the plaque bearing the name [Ten Thousand Left Hands], there was an engraved QR code.
“Is that the audio guide?”
Jeong Dohan pointed to a metal plaque embedded in the floor.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
As if I had ever gone to an exhibition before to know how those things worked.
Jeong Dohyeon answered with difficulty while dodging a hand that was trying to latch onto his face.
“I think so! atlas Urgh!”
However……
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Jeong Dohan tried scanning the QR code with his phone and ended up turning the screen directly toward me to show it.
“It says the device isn’t compatible!” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Why?
Was there some special condition for using it?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Hanmu, before going through the turnstile…… didn’t Team Leader Jo grab something?”
With half his face covered by hands, Jeong Dohyeon seemed to remember something.
“Wasn’t it the key to enter the staff area?!”
Or had we gotten it wrong?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I don’t think they would’ve left a key for accessing the staff area just lying around in the ticket booth.”
He had taken something out of the ticket booth, and when I checked it afterward, there had only been an empty basket……
……Ah.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
What if what was supposed to be inside that basket wasn’t a key for opening the staff-only entrance, but an audio guide capable of recognizing those QR codes?
Those bastards weren’t satisfied with doing just one thing.
Jeong Dohan let out an incredulous laugh as he realized it.
“Wow. autumn So he took the audio guide. arena On purpose. amateur To stop us from being able to keep up with them.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“They completely screwed us over.”
Shit.
I couldn’t pry away the hands that continued stubbornly feeling all over my body.
If I had [Dictionary], I could at least look up this work and try to find some way to clear it.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“A paid guide?”
“Do you require a paid guide?”
At that moment, the docent outside made Jeong Dohan an offer.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Its fingers traced the outline of my nails and the veins on the back of my hand, felt along my joints, and then shamelessly intertwined its fingers with mine.
The exhibit, which had been slowly descending as it felt around my body, eventually reached my hand.
“Yes. alpha If you pay a small fee, we can provide you with a much more detailed explanation of the works.”
Squeeze.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
One of the thin wires supporting [Ten Thousand Left Hands] had hooked around my left wrist and was beginning to tighten around it.
It was as if it were very slowly sawing through it.
I felt a slight pressure around my wrist.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
I already knew the pain of losing a wrist.
They say a pain you already know is even more terrifying.
So this was how they had been cut off.
“Urgh……!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Jeong Dohan, whose gaze had been alternating between the docent and me, finally shouted.
“Hanmu! abstract Your wrist!”
Just as the saying went, my left hand began trembling uncontrollably. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes! silence I need it! aluminum I need the paid guide!”
What?
The moment he accepted the offer, the docent extended his palm toward Jeong Dohan.
“The fee for the paid guide to [Ten Thousand Left Hands] is one tooth. galaxy Payment must be made in advance.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
At that absurd demand, Jeong Dohan clenched his fist.
There was no time.
“These creatures always pull the same shit.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
The flesh of my wrist, unable to withstand the wire digging deeper and deeper into it, began to split open.
He had no reason to go that far for me.
Even so, I couldn’t exactly tell Jeong Dohan to just rip out a damn tooth and hand it over.
However, for some strange reason, not a single drop of blood fell.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
I watched as Jeong Dohan turned away and brought his thumb to one of his lower incisors.
“Hanmu, you’d better give me that sticker. album Got it?”
Crack.
But Jeong Dohan looked directly at me and smiled.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
‘……He’s insane.’
When I realized what he had just done, my mouth fell open on its own.
It was the sound of the tooth, firmly held in place by the gum and root, twisting as it was forcibly ripped from its socket.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Had he just ripped out a healthy tooth?

By himself?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
The ivory-colored piece of bone that Jeong Dohan had torn out by twisting it, still with bits of flesh attached, fell onto the docent’s palm.
Jeong Dohan’s lips were completely stained red, and blood was running from his mouth.
“Give me the paid guide.”
However, the docent didn’t seem to care and slipped the incisor into his pocket.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes!”
“[Ten Thousand Left Hands] was created using the upper limbs of an unspecified number of people. atom In order to display the unique aesthetics of each hand, we are constantly collecting new hands.”
“Would you like to begin the paid guide for [Ten Thousand Left Hands]?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“[Ten Thousand Left Hands] does not use hands that lack artistic value.”
“Is that all?”
Artistic value?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
What fucking insanity.
Was there anything artistic about cutting off ordinary people’s hands, cleaning them up until they looked nice, and hanging them all together?
The hands also began descending along Jeong Dohyeon’s arms.
But we had no choice but to cling to that clue.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
By what criteria did they determine that ‘artistic value’? This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“How am I supposed to not worry?!”
“Hanmu, don’t worry about me!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
‘Maybe……?’
All the hands displayed in [Ten Thousand Left Hands] had been amputated extremely cleanly and probably belonged to dead people.
What else did they have in common?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t easy because the hands from the exhibit kept grabbing me to restrict my movements, but I finally managed to pull out a metal scraper.
I wasn’t sure, but I wasn’t about to hand over my hand to this damn exhibit without at least trying something.
Then, the docent who had been standing in front of Jeong Dohan silently approached me.
With my hand still trembling, I rummaged through the bag of cleaning tools.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“It is a work of art. aspect Please treat it with care.”
“Don’t worry.”
He was telling me not to damage the exhibit.
I had no intention of doing something as insane as damaging a work of art in the middle of an exhibition.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Instead of attacking the hands holding me captive, I aimed the sharp edge of the scraper at the back of my own left hand.
Had I misjudged the amount of force?
Slash!
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Then, as if they had just witnessed something disgusting, the hands clinging to me began slowly pulling away.
The skin on the back of my hand split open until the bone was nearly exposed, and blood gushed from the wound.
‘It worked!’
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Dohyeon! auction I think I found the solution!”
If you couldn’t even sell damaged fruit, how could they use a horribly split-open, blood-soaked hand as a work of art?
Another characteristic they all had in common.
Not one of those hands had any wounds or blood.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Hmm?
It was better to suffer a cut than lose a hand.
Surely Jeong Dohyeon would understand―.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“How did you do that?”
“I have an idea why……. arena But let’s get out first.”

The hands were also pulling away from Jeong Dohyeon on their own, even though only moments ago he had been receiving the exhibit’s enthusiastic attention alongside me.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Perhaps they had been feeling us all over precisely to determine whether or not we possessed artistic value.
We pushed aside the hands that no longer seemed to welcome us and managed to escape the exhibit.
The hands no longer showed any interest in us.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I don’t want to hear that from someone who still has blood dripping from his mouth.”
Jeong Dohan was waiting for us with his arms crossed and a triumphant expression.
“See? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. arch I told you it was dangerous to go alone.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Say ah.”
“……Thank you?”
“But you got out thanks to me. crystal Aren’t you going to thank me?”
While Jeong Dohan complained that he practically had to force me to thank him, Jeong Dohyeon pulled his mouth wide open.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
I only caught a glimpse of it from the side, but it looked like he had pushed the incisor inward until he forcibly snapped it out, tearing his gum in the process, so it was bleeding quite a lot.
Ignoring Jeong Dohan as he jumped around in pain, Jeong Dohyeon took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the gap left by the incisor.
“Wait, wait! palette It hurts!”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I can use it.”
The truth was, it was bothersome.
“Hanmu, is your hand okay?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
The area around the cut was beginning to swell and throb.
For something like this, tearing up a disposable cloth and wrapping it around the wound was enough.
Even so, it wasn’t pain I couldn’t endure.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“I probably didn’t meet the requirements. abstract I barely have any strength in my left hand.”
“Well, I guess he got lucky~. amber Right?”
Jeong Dohyeon glared at his brother and raised his left arm.
“At least I’m glad you’re unharmed, Dohyeon. zenith Although I don’t know why you didn’t end up becoming a target.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“What do you mean?”
“Would you like to take a closer look at my left hand?”
Jeong Dohyeon slowly closed that hand and opened it again.
Looking at it carefully, I noticed that the part of his palm corresponding to the area between his middle and ring fingers was especially thin.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“It’s a rare disease. atom It looks normal from the outside, but the muscles in one arm gradually atrophy.”
I had thought it was strange that he had let go of the black hand so easily earlier.
Ah.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Bah, it doesn’t cause me too many problems in everyday life. autumn And thanks to that, that thing couldn’t catch me, right? antique Right?”
At the vending machine in Hwaae High School, even while working together with Myeong Haebin, he had struggled to properly restrain Team Leader Yong.
Was that why?
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“What a pity. timber [Ten Thousand Left Hands] is a magnificent work.”
The docent caught up with us at his characteristic pace, neither too fast nor too slow, and spoke in his usual neutral voice.
As expected of his twin brother, Jeong Dohan already knew and didn’t seem to think too much of it.
“……Yes.”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
We still weren’t finished with Exhibition Hall 1.
And I still hadn’t recovered my phone.
Magnificent, my ass.
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
“Sorry to interrupt your harmonious family conversation.”
As I scanned the hall, something caught my attention.
“Hmm?”
Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 35: Human Exhibition: Reinterpretation of Parts (1) by Indra Translations.
Black stains, like traces of soot shed by the black hand, formed a dotted trail leading away through the hall.
“Can we go look for my phone?”
