Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3)

I was uneasy.

“Boss, how about we exchange our name tags?”

As I stood there staring at my name tag without trying to hide the concern reflected on my face, Myeong Haebin suddenly held out her hand.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Can we do that?”

“That’s not it.”

“Look at him. zenith He turned red just from seeing it.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Even though Haebin called me Boss, she knew far more about paranormal phenomena than I did.

Even in the face of Team Leader Yong’s blatant teasing, I couldn’t bring myself to say something graceful like, no, it’s fine.

It was much safer to do it this way.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I knew I was being a coward.

But my life could depend on it.

However, the safety pin on Haebin’s name tag wouldn’t pierce my uniform.

“Forget it, rookie. riddle It won’t work.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

And the same thing happened with my name tag when she tried to attach it to Haebin’s clothes.

After trying several more times, I had no choice but to accept that it was impossible.

As if that name tag didn’t belong to me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

While every step felt as heavy as a mountain to me, the other three split up as naturally as if they were used to it.

“Stay sharp. echo And don’t go crying, all right?”

“See you later, Boss!”

“We’ll see each other during the break.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“……”

The classroom was completely silent.

Holding my bag of cleaning tools as though it were my lifeline, I opened the rear door of the second-year, Class 1 classroom.

Clack.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

And the Teacher was there too.

All the students, identical to one another when seen from behind, remained seated facing the blackboard.

No one spoke.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

No one seemed to notice my presence.

No one turned the pages of a book.

Unlike outside, that classroom was immersed in an absolute silence that felt deeply unsettling.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Just in case, I confirmed that detail before sitting down in one of the empty seats.

Creeak.

‘There are empty desks, and none of them have names.’

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Or rather.

Creeak.

It looked as though he was holding the chalk on its tip solely to produce that unbearable screeching sound while endlessly drawing something impossible to recognize.

The Teacher began writing on the blackboard.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

It was 9:10.

‘If this is all there is, I think I can endure it. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ’

The class would probably end at 9:50.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

However, when I raised my head.

Tap.

I only had to endure forty minutes.

The Teacher was standing in front of me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Good. album Then let the transfer student answer.”

Every student in the classroom turned their head toward me.

He had arrived without making the slightest sound.

“…Yes?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

From behind, they had looked like normal people.

Had disappeared.

But their faces.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Under those chilling gazes, the Teacher asked me a question.

There was only an enormous void.

“What is the most useless part of the human body?”

“1. orbit The brain.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“3. anchor The heart.”

“4. audit The liver.”

“2. august The lungs.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“5. arrow The kidneys.”

Was the answer really among those options?

I couldn’t choose any of them.

My eyes quickly swept across the classroom.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

If I couldn’t copy the answers

But the pages were covered in black scribbles to the point of being illegible.

Some students had their books open on their desks.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“What is the answer?”

I would have to think for myself.

The Teacher raised his gray hand as he pressed me for an answer.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“……”

“What happens if I answer incorrectly?”

One of his four fingers began to slowly bend.

It was a countdown.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I received no answer.

“What is the most useless part of the human body?”

Another finger bent.

Instead of answering me, he repeated exactly the same question.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I wiped my sweat-soaked hand against my pants.

Only two remained.

The brain?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

The lungs? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

The heart?

To begin with.

They were all indispensable organs.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

If I interpreted ‘the most useless’ as ‘the one whose absence offers the greatest chance of survival.’

But there was one.

Was there really any useless organ?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Unlike the other organs, there are two kidneys.

Just as another finger began to bend, I answered.

“The kidneys.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

The blunt tip of the only index finger that remained extended slowly swayed as it pointed at me.

“Hmm…”

The lungs are also divided into two, but unlike them, a person can donate one of their kidneys and continue living.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

The next instant

That was all.

A metallic taste of blood rose from the back of my throat.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Had disappeared.

My vision began to sway.

And I had the strange sensation that something, deep inside my abdomen.

Nausea overwhelmed me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

But beneath that wet surface, resembling soaked rubber, the capillaries intertwined like a spiderweb could clearly be seen.

Not a single drop of blood fell from it.

Through the blurry vision wavering before my eyes, I saw that the Teacher was holding a piece of purplish flesh in his hand, slightly larger than a fist and shaped like a bean.

“You mean this, right?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ugh…”

That was.

I understood instinctively.

My kidney.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

My fingertips felt ice-cold.

I was breathing so heavily that my nose was almost hitting the desk.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Why?

Then why?

I got it right!

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“The most useless organ in the human body is the brain.”

With that unpleasant sound, the mass of flesh he was holding began to deform as he squeezed it.

As I clutched my abdomen and tried to organize my thoughts, the Teacher’s class continued as if nothing had happened.

Crunch.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t accept it.

“Why…?”

A stream of red blood slowly ran down his forearm.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

But the Teacher, as if he had been waiting for that question.

As if he found it amusing.

I barely managed to utter those words through the stabbing pain.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Ah.

Continued crushing my kidney.

“Because humans are unnecessarily intelligent. alert Without a brain, they stop thinking, and then they become much easier to control.”

His voice sounded as though an insect were crawling into my ear to scrape at my brain from the inside.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I was inside a paranormal phenomenon filled with monstrosities.

Of course.

This wasn’t a place where common sense prevailed.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

The kidney, completely deformed into the shape of the Teacher’s hand, fell back onto my desk with a wet sound.

“I hope this explanation was sufficient for our transfer student.”

Once again, I understood that in the worst possible way.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Tap.

“Good. arrow Let’s continue with the class.”

Tap.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Tap.

“Ha… haa…”

I breathed with difficulty.

The shoes moved away toward the blackboard again.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Or the heart?

What would have happened if I had chosen the lungs?

I tightly clutched my lower abdomen, trying to ease that painful, indescribable sensation of emptiness.

Then I thought.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I would already be dead.

Having to consider this good luck.

Or the liver? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

There was no need to think about it.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Was the worst.

Until the bell announcing the end of class rang.

I didn’t know how much time passed as I did everything I could to stop thinking about my kidney, which was still outside my body.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Dong~

Dang~

Ding~

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Dong.

After saying that, the Teacher’s body disappeared as though dissolving into smoke.

“That will be all for today.”

The students did exactly the same.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

And I.

I stared fixedly at the kidney left on the desk.

“Finally…”

Ended up being the only student left sitting in that empty classroom.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Damn it.

Then I put it inside a plastic bag, tied it tightly, and placed it inside my backpack.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Fortunately, it opened.

I shook my hands several times and pushed open the rear door.

It was still warm.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

I guess I should go back to the staircase where we split up.

As I descended the stairs, feeling the uncomfortable absence of the organ that had been ripped out of me…

On the other side, I was greeted by a hallway filled with the commotion of students.

‘We didn’t decide exactly where to meet.’

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Boss, over here! action Did everything go well?”

Haebin seemed perfectly fine.

Someone pulled on the strap of my backpack.

“I wouldn’t know how to answer that… So, no.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Nothing happened to you?” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

It seemed she really was fine.

“My head only hurt from the sound of the chalk. admire Although the hardest part was not falling asleep.”

Although, like me, perhaps she also had injuries that couldn’t be seen.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

It looked like a rest area.

There were several backless sofas and some snack vending machines.

The others had already arrived.

I followed Haebin to the end of the hallway.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“You’re nothing but skin and bones. athlete Did you have to answer a question too?”

Team Leader Yong walked toward me and grabbed my cheeks, turning my head from side to side.

“How did you know?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Because he told me.”

“Then something happened to you too, Mr. august Dohyeon…?”

He tilted his head and pointed at Jeong Dohyeon with his thumb.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Jeong Dohyeon waved the textbook he was holding with an uncomfortable expression.

“Team Leader, if you put it that way, you’re only going to confuse Hanmu more.”

“He got it right.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Damn it.

“It was thanks to this. crystal It was inside the desk. silence Didn’t you see it?”

Inside the desk?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Why didn’t it occur to me to look?

Wasn’t that book practically empty?

Although.

I had only been thinking about copying the answers.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Was the answer always inside the book?

“It didn’t look like it had anything useful in it.”

“Really? portal That’s strange. acoustic When the Teacher asks a question, some parts start becoming clear. shadow Maybe that’s why.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t even a real school, yet it insisted on behaving like one.

How unpleasant.

“There was a textbook inside the desk? amateur What question did they ask you?”

Haebin curiously flipped through the Ethics textbook Jeong Dohyeon was holding and raised her hand.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“The famous problem where people are tied to the tracks and you have to decide who gets run over.”

A train with no brakes is moving down the track.

“It was the trolley problem. amateur Do you know it?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

And you are the only person capable of pulling the lever.

If you don’t switch the track, all five will die.

Ahead, five people are tied down.

If you switch it, only one person will die.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“I know that one too, but isn’t it a problem without an answer?”

I already had an idea.

“It has one. autumn At least in this book.”

That was the question.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

So the correct answer was probably to let the five die.

After all.

Those teachers seemed to dislike human beings.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

That would be more people.

“How did you know?”

“Because the ones tied down are humans.”

“Don’t switch the track.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Although.

“Perfect answer. auction Even the explanation. atlas Hanmu, you adapt incredibly quickly.”

Jeong Dohyeon applauded softly, genuinely impressed.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Plop.

Then it was no longer an Ethics question.

If that was the case.

While we continued talking, a strange sound came from a vending machine.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

That did pique my curiosity.

“Working. matrix Besides, since today is also your orientation, I wanted to show you how we dismantle paranormal phenomena in our own way.”

“Team Leader. orbit What are you doing?”

The truth was.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Although.

The thing that had just come out of the machine looked like a soda can.

But I pointed with my index finger at Team Leader Yong’s hand.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

And every time it moved slightly. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

The material was soft.

It had a distorted logo, like a poor imitation of a commercial beverage.

I wasn’t even sure I could call it that.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Are you planning to drink that?”

“Yeah. amber Wait a moment. timber I’m just going to take a sip.”

Something seemed to stir inside it.

‘Did that just move?’

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Maybe he really did have some method.

Had this Team Leader gone crazy?

Or should I stop him?

Although he said he was working.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

But Yong raised his arm to dodge him.

The moment the can went click, Jeong Dohyeon shot forward and struck Team Leader Yong’s hand.

“No, Team Leader!”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hold me? arch Let go of me! audit Can’t I even drink a soda?”

The can began to writhe as though something were moving inside it.

“Put that down! action Hanmu, hold him!”

“What is it now? palette What?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Even so, Team Leader Yong tried to bring it to his mouth.

“Team Leader, loosen your grip!”

When Haebin lunged at him, Yong squeezed the can tightly so they couldn’t take it away.

“Anyone could tell that shouldn’t be drunk! legend Dohyeon, now!”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Jeong Dohyeon managed to snatch it away with great effort.

Then he threw it to me.

A deep red liquid began pouring out of the deformed can.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

“Rookie, don’t do that. shadow Listen to me. album Give it to me. admire I’m the Team Leader.”

“Throw it away! auction Or at least throw it as far away as possible!”

Team Leader Yong struggled to break free.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

Ended up in the middle of the chaos holding something that looked like a time bomb.

And I.

Jeong Dohyeon and Haebin did everything they could to hold him back.

One of them was telling me to give it back.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 7: Hwaae High School (3) by Indra Translations.

What the hell was I supposed to do?

The other two were shouting at me to throw it away.
