Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3)

Or at least, that was what I believed.

Even those endless corridors eventually had an end if one kept walking long enough.

Without a doubt, everything had gone relatively well.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

‘A forced labor workshop?’

And when we opened it, we found a completely different space.

And at the end of those corridors covered in bars, blood, and flesh, there was a door.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Probably.

And everywhere there was blood, chunks of flesh, severed knees, and twisted fingers.

There were old lockers lined up against the walls, broken desks and cabinets, pieces of old machinery, and fragments of rusted metal larger than the palm of a hand.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Remains that had already died, yet still remained there, corroded by erosion.

Dust had settled over all that chaos.

Director Mok silently took out the extractor from within his clothes.

Like someone’s memories.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The indicator light on the device glowed a faint red.

“……”

It was approximately ten percent full.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I became curious about what he was looking at and followed the direction of his eyes.

Then he suddenly raised his head. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

And his gaze drifted toward empty space.

He observed the extractor in silence for a few seconds.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

‘What is he looking at?’

But all I saw was a blood-soaked wall.

And in one corner, a piece of flesh resembling an ear slowly writhed.

The wall was stained a dark red.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“There is someone.”

“……Excuse me?”

Director Mok answered in a low voice.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

But the meaning of his words was entirely different.

“Besides us. silence They belong to another organization. aspect It’s strange. abstract If possible, it would be better not to encounter them.”

His voice remained calm.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“I will temporarily change our route.”

The fact that there was someone else in this place.

That meant the existence of a variable impossible to control.

“Yes.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And I shrugged while pretending to maintain a calm expression.

Supervisor Shik tilted his head.

Director Mok put the extractor away once more.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Then the three of us opened the next door.

The heavy iron door slowly opened.

Creeeeak.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I froze.

And another dark corridor appeared.

At that moment.

“Huh?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I was alone.

Director Mok and Supervisor Shik had disappeared.

“……What…? matrix What the hell…?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The door was closed.

Completely alone.

With a certainty so absolute it was unbearable.

No.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The door we had just entered through had vanished without a trace.

It had disappeared.

It wasn’t even closed.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Fuck.’

In its place, there was only a dead-end wall.

The smell of decay saturated the air.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The floor was covered with dried remains of flesh.

And grotesque voices continued leaking from within them.

Barred cells stretched along both sides of the corridor.

The structure was similar to that of the previous hallway.

But the lighting here was much dimmer.

“PleasesavememomanddadarewaitingformeI’mnotaprisonerItoldyouIwasjustgoingtoschoolImissyoumomhelpmedad”

“……Kill me…… kill me…… kill meee……”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hihihihihihihihi……”

My stomach felt unsettled.

I swallowed again.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

This was bad.

Neither the pulse of the bone pen nor the warmth of the rosary were of much help.

‘I’m alone.’

My survival instinct kept hammering at my mind.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

By myself, I could do nothing.

I could not be here without Director Mok or Supervisor Shik.

This was not a place where someone could be alone.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Thunk.

That was when it happened.

— You are trash.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The sound of metal boots striking the floor.

Slow, steady footsteps. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

I heard it.

Somewhere in the corridor.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Thunk.

It was a prison guard.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The sound was approaching.

Thunk.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

It was coming directly toward me.

But without stopping.

Slowly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The corridor was completely straight.

A kind of endless dead-end passage.

‘An escape route?’

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I literally had nowhere to go.

And from the opposite end, a prison guard was slowly advancing.

The door I had entered through no longer existed.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

‘…Damn it.’

The moment I inhaled, the footsteps stopped.

I looked around.

The guard had detected my presence.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

In one of them was a tongue as long as a person.

Indescribable things stirred behind the bars.

Cells to the left and right.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

In another, an armless man repeatedly slammed his head against the wall while chanting over and over.

“……Ah.”

“Open it. absorb Open it. altitude Open it.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

None of them.

The answer was simple.

Which of these cells could I hide in?

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I lowered my gaze to the corridor floor.

‘Then there’s only one option left.’

And escape was impossible.

The exit had disappeared.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Flesh.

Blood.

Countless corpses were piled on top of one another.

Entrails.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I bit my lip and stretched out my hand.

Skin.

Bones.

Rotting remains stuck to the floor.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I gathered handfuls of flesh and human remains and threw them over my body.

I no longer had time to think.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

It was not simply the smell of flesh and blood.

Then I buried myself within that pile.

It was like being swallowed by a solidified mass of suffering and terror.

An unimaginable stench pierced my lungs.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Twisted my body until it matched the posture of a corpse.

I buried my face in the blood.

And forced one leg into a crooked angle.

Bent my arms as though they were broken.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The effort of keeping my chest from moving sent cold sweat running down my back.

I even eliminated the sound of my breathing.

‘It has to believe I’m dead. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Thunk.

Thunk.

The guard’s footsteps echoed at the end of the corridor.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“……”

Thunk.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I held my breath.

Thunk.

It felt like my brain was about to explode.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Thunk.

‘It’s right in front of me.’

The footsteps stopped.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The guard stood motionless beside me for several seconds.

Then it slowly turned around.

I felt a damp breath.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And then.

Thunk.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

My lips moved almost imperceptibly.

I could see the guard’s back.

It started walking again.

I opened my eyes and slightly turned my head.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Thunk.

And when it seemed like it was about to collide with the wall, the wall simply absorbed it.

The monster continued walking calmly down the corridor.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The sound gradually faded away.

Even then, I did not move.

Thunk.

Thunk.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And it was not pain that was suffocating me.

My entire body was covered in blood and chunks of flesh.

It was disgust.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I slowly sat up from the bloody mass.

Rotten blood dripped from my body.

‘Did it leave…?’

I was so covered in blood and human remains that I looked like a living corpse.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

From somewhere in the hallway came the creak of a door opening.

‘Good. apron If I stay still a little longer and then move…’

The metallic stench of blood had adhered to me like a nauseating layer, and within it, I carefully tried to catch my breath.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Someone.

Had appeared again.

Just as I was about to throw myself back onto the floor and pretend to be dead, I heard a voice.

Or something.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“Uh… excuse me… is someone there?”

Could prison guards talk?

And at the same time, I thought only one thing.

My heart jumped.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And with such a young voice, at that?

Instinctively, I lowered myself and hid among the corpses again.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“Is… is someone there…?”

It was obvious.

As I did, I replayed that youthful voice still echoing in my ears.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And then, at the end of the corridor, around a bent corner, a boy appeared.

I slowly raised my head.

The voice of a teenage boy, probably between fifteen and eighteen years old.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The tattered remains of a torn shirt.

Bloodstained pants and sneakers.

A short school uniform jacket.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

More specifically, he looked like a dying high school student.

‘…A student. acquire Middle school or high school?’

He was too young.

And in his left hand, he tightly gripped a small metal pipe he had probably picked up somewhere.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And one of his knees appeared twisted.

His left eye was so swollen he could barely open it.

His bloodied face was covered in bruises.

Then our eyes met.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“I… I was just on my way to school and… when I woke up… I was here…”

“……”

“Ah… I…”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I had risen from among the corpses covered in blood.

His voice cracked.

It was the voice of a terrified child struggling not to cry.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ah-ah! apple I’m sorry! academy I’m so sorry! antique Sorry for talking to you for no reason!”

And upon seeing me, the boy stumbled backward in shock.

“……”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“What’s your name?”

The boy pressed his lips together.

I slowly opened my mouth.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“What’s the last thing you remember?”

“…Lee Seong-hoon.”

After hesitating for several seconds, he answered in a low voice. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

At my words, Lee Seong-hoon flinched and began stammering.

“I’m asking how you got here.”

“Huh?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

My mind began to work.

“I just… uh… I was in the library. acid I was going to the bathroom and then I saw a strange hallway…”

“And then?”

“I think I passed out for a moment. wizard When I woke up… I was here…”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

If the Anomalous Disaster Management Department existed to rescue civilians in disasters like this, they probably had protocols for situations like these.

But I was nothing more than a rookie employee at an absurd company infested with monsters.

‘He’s a completely normal civilian.’

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

That was when something caught my attention.

“I DON’T KNOW! accent I really don’t know! arcade I think I saw the sun rise several times, but… maybe that was a dream too…”

“Tell me how long you’ve been here.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

An obvious wound on the back of his neck.

Something visible beneath the collar of his clothes.

Perhaps he had been attacked by a prison guard.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

When I saw it, I closed my mouth.

The blood was still fresh and had not yet dried.

The boy was still trembling.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Depending on what I did now, he might live or die.

His eyes constantly shifted between distrust and hope as he looked at me.

He could barely remain standing and leaned against the wall.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I sighed silently and cautiously extended a hand.

‘I can barely take care of myself…’

Maybe it was also because I was afraid of being alone myself.

But I still had not fully adapted to this company’s madness to the point where I could ignore such a desperate look.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

He said nothing.

“…My name is Jeong Haeil. agent There are people I know in here. acquire If we can find them, we can get out together.”

At that moment, his pupils widened.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The emotion of having survived.

It was the first time I had seen a genuinely human emotion inside this hellish prison.

As I looked at that mixture of terror and relief in his eyes, I realized something.

But I could read it clearly. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“A-are you… a real person?”

“Huh…?”

“Yes. acquire Probably.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

He was trembling so badly that he seemed unable to control his knees.

At first, he had looked at me as though he had found salvation.

The boy was acting exactly the way I had when I first entered the company.

Without saying anything, I placed a hand on his shoulder.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The sticky blood and entrails were still covering me.

And now he was looking at me as though begging for help.

‘I can’t even protect myself, and now I have to carry a kid along.’

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Even so, I tried to wear the calmest expression possible to reassure him.

A place where even standing still to survive could become a crime.

And above all, we were still inside a distorted zone.

Prison guards could appear at any moment.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s alright. avalanche We’re still okay. matrix If you just stick close to me, you might not die.”

“I said you can survive. antique I don’t know under what conditions, but you can.”

“…Really?”

I tried to soften my words.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I could hear him suppressing a sob.

And apparently, it worked.

Trembling, Lee Seong-hoon nodded beside me.

We began walking down the corridor again.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The flesh still covered the floor.

Whispers and cries continued leaking from the cells.

The screams still clung to the walls like stains.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I turned my gaze toward the cells.

But I ignored them.

And Lee Seong-hoon, terrified, did not speak again either.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

Without saying anything, I looked at Lee Seong-hoon again.

And a concentrated smell of blood.

Darkness from which grotesque sounds emerged.

Closed iron doors.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I slightly turned my head.

“Takemewithyoutakemewithyoutakemewithyouyoucomeintooyoucomeintooyoucomeintoo”

“Hyung…”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

I let out a sigh and spoke in a low voice.

“LetusreceivesalvationandgotoheavenwewillgototheheavenofthesavedtheGreatBeingwilldevourusall”

“Thatdaytheteachersaidwewereallsinnersandhesaidwehadtobepunishedandhesaidwewouldallcontinuetobesinnersuntilthesaviorwhodevourstheworldarrived”

The grotesque voices continued flowing endlessly.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“Ignore them.”

“They’re probably beings being eroded by Gangsol Prison. attic We’re not. arctic I can’t do anything for them.”

“…Huh?”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

The very same words Director Mok had told me a short while ago were now the words I was repeating.

It was ironic.

Lee Seong-hoon hesitated for several seconds as he looked at the countless cells stretching out on both sides.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

My tone was firm.

Then he looked back at me.

“It doesn’t matter who’s in there. legend It’s not our concern.”

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

“…Understood, hyung. arch Thank you.”

Finally, he spoke cautiously.

Lee Seong-hoon chewed on his lips for several seconds and then lowered his head.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

And after who knows how long…

We continued moving down the corridor.

But for some reason, the sticky sensation beneath my feet became a little more bearable.

I did not respond.

Translation of There Are No Humans in the Monster Company - Chapter 42: Gangsol Prison (3) by Indra Translations.

It looked like the enormous open mouth of some gigantic creature.

At the end of that hallway covered in viscous darkness, a fork in the path appeared.
