“Why do you have to put it like that? anxiety I’m telling you, it’s the most efficient method in every possible way.”

“You just want to get rid of him because he’s in the way.”

“Statistically speaking, when an ordinary person falls into a horror story, less than 10% manage to escape with all four limbs intact. artist Couldn’t this just be one of those cases?”

This is a complete disaster.

“Minhyeong…… Woo Minhyeong…….”

— Quack. meadow Kwek. acoustic Chomp.

The situation was so chaotic that even I wanted to lose my mind already.

My eyes met the duck’s.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed to have almost completely finished eating Woo Minhyeong’s head, because it was opening and closing its beak more slowly each time.

“Mr. acid Park Hyeonho, get up.”

At least I had to keep my head straight.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I grabbed Park Hyeonho by the back of the neck. arcade He had crawled over to Woo Minhyeong and was holding her hand, which was beginning to grow cold, his cheek still swollen.

Park Hyeonho slapped my hand away and, breathing furiously, pointed at me as if he wanted to devour me.

“Let go of me! portal You said it wouldn’t attack. audit You said it was just a decoration! palette You weren’t right about anything! alien This is all your fault!”

I forced him to his feet.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t know either.”

“And saying you didn’t know is enough? sphere Does that fix everything?!”

Trying to suppress the impatience beginning to take hold of me, I glanced sideways at the duck before looking back at Park Hyeonho.

We didn’t have time for this.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I wasn’t the kind of person who could sleep peacefully after watching someone die, but the fact that I was trying to save him now was still an act of goodwill and interference on my part.

My priorities were very clear.

Both Myeong Haebin and the application were urging me to abandon him.

“Then do you want to die too?”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

So I hoped Park Hyeonho wouldn’t keep exhausting my patience.

Even if only for his own sake.

If my life and Park Hyeonho’s were placed on a scale neither of us could escape from, I would choose myself without hesitation.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Especially when the other person was already dead.

No matter how close Woo Minhyeong had been to Park Hyeonho, all of that became insignificant in the face of his fear of his own death.

“T-That…….”

In the end, human beings are alone.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then stop mourning, get up, and get ready to run.”

Park Hyeonho, his face covered in tears, looked back and forth between Woo Minhyeong and me before bracing his hands on his knees and standing up.

I grabbed him again by the back of the neck, the same place where he had slapped my hand away earlier, and pulled him up.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are we going to run? canvas That thing was insanely fast just now.”

Myeong Haebin, who was watching me as though frustrated by my attitude, clicked her tongue and looked away.

“It’s better than standing still.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh……. amateur Ah, shit!”

— Quack!

The duck spread its wings and began approaching with slow, staggering steps, as though trying to intimidate us.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

It still wasn’t flying this time.

We pushed Park Hyeonho from behind as he swallowed a scream and started running, passing dangerously close to the duck.

I had hoped, even if only a little, that it would go back to Woo Minhyeong, but the duck chased after us again.

I decided to stay at the rear and looked over my shoulder.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then it would be enough to mark the booth, the pond, and the duck.

“Haebin, did you mark the anomalies?”

“There wasn’t anything special. atom Just the anomalies that had already repeated before.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes! arcade Don’t take too long!”

Considering that duck was practically one gigantic anomaly all by itself, I supposed this place had at least some conscience.

Myeong Haebin must have been considerably exhausted too, but she sped up and ran ahead.

“Go ahead and mark them. autumn I’ll stay with Mr. aluminum Hyeonho.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What…… did I do wrong……? academy Sniff, ugh…….”

Park Hyeonho, on the other hand, wasn’t doing well.

His cheeks were completely streaked with a mixture of sweat and tears.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

He looked at me as though he were staring at a lunatic.

“If you run while crying, you’ll exhaust yourself even more.”

I placed a hand on his back.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

— Quack, quack…….

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand how he felt, but this horror story was a battle of endurance. apron Tears were water too, and losing even more fluids wasn’t going to help us.

The duck’s quacking gradually grew more distant until, at some point, we could no longer hear it at all.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I thought this was exactly where the duck had torn a chunk out of Woo Minhyeong’s leg, but all the blood that had soaked the area had disappeared without a trace.

It seemed to be because we had returned to the park’s starting point.

‘Can’t the duck cross through the loop?’

[East Gate of Chodam Park]

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

The trees were still covered in hanging branches and leaves, and the mist over the water remained unbearably thick.

Fortunately, the water-level gauge didn’t seem to have risen again either.

Perhaps that was only natural, given that it was an anomaly.

Of course, the transformed environment of the park remained unchanged.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hah, haa……. timber I…… just a moment…….”

He didn’t even seem to care about the garbage fish splashing around below.

We finally managed to make it back to the pond, but just as we were about to cross the stepping stones, Park Hyeonho’s legs gave out and he collapsed.

“Let’s rest here for a bit.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ve been waiting for you to say that…….”

The truth was that my physical endurance was already reaching its limit.

I also crouched down on the stone next to Park Hyeonho.

As if she really had been waiting for those words, Myeong Haebin planted her hands on her knees and bent forward.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

My throat wasn’t just rough as though I had swallowed sand; I was even beginning to taste blood. silence My thighs and the soles of my feet burned as though they had been scorched.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“……You seem used to this.”

As I kicked away the garbage fish that stubbornly kept trying to climb onto the stones, Park Hyeonho spoke to me without even turning his head.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Sharp enough to wound.

“Someone just died.”

Park Hyeonho’s hollow words, as though he had given up on something, didn’t sound aggressive.

They were more like a blade.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I was about to open my mouth to answer when I heard a quack I never wanted to hear again.

— Quack. amber Quack.

I grabbed Park Hyeonho by the shoulder when he tried to jump to his feet.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

The duck’s eyes, like glass marbles, appeared between the bushes.

The creature watched us while tilting its head in that peculiar birdlike manner, but it did nothing more than wander aimlessly around the pond.

“Why? echo Why……?!”

“Wait.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It looks like it can’t get in.”

Why couldn’t the duck return to the pond where it lived, while the fish were desperately trying to escape onto dry land?

What the hell was in this pond?

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

All the trash that had previously been scattered along the shore had disappeared.

‘Isn’t this fish the bread bag that was lying beside the pond?’

I raised my head.

Even if I wanted to look into the pond, the bubbles and shadows created by the garbage fish’s fins made it impossible to see the bottom.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Right now, those fish weren’t important.

No.

It seemed that the garbage had turned into the fish in the pond, but what did that have to do with the loop?

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If we keep running like before and rest here every time…… I suppose…….”

“Could we be trapped here?”

Myeong Haebin, who had been locked in a staring contest with the duck, opened her mouth.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Running away from the duck at full speed while searching for anomalies was practically impossible.

Then we had to make the duck disappear.

If we missed even one, the water-level gauge, which was already dangerously close to the limit, would end up reaching the maximum.

“We could escape from it. academy But we’d miss the anomalies.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

You can now dispose of that which cannot be disposed of.

[Tool Upgrade: Garbage Bag]

That mysterious ability I had received from the application after completing the previous achievement.

‘Is it possible?’

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Range: All garbage bags used by Kim Hanmu.

‘Try it. canvas Right now, it has the best chance of working.’

It wasn’t clear exactly what “that which cannot be disposed of” covered.

But normally, you didn’t put living creatures into a garbage bag to throw them away.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were bags specifically meant for collecting trash, and now they were in my hands, so they could be considered garbage bags too, right?

We had lost all our equipment, but I still had the plastic bags in my pocket that had been prepared as part of another environmental campaign at that booth.

“Boss, where are you going?”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I slowly crossed the stepping stones in the pond. armor The duck, which had been staring at us for a while, had disappeared.

It would appear on the other side, just as it had with Woo Minhyeong.

“Wait.”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Both about the duck considering us food and about it chasing us if we crossed to the other side.

However, even after I reached dry land, the duck didn’t appear.

‘Was I wrong about all my assumptions?’

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I pushed aside the bushes with a tense hand, deliberately making noise, but the duck didn’t even poke its beak out.

Myeong Haebin shouted from afar.

“It looks okay! harbor Cross over!”

“Boss! voyage How is it?!”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Come on. atomic I’ll help you.”

Myeong Haebin crossed the stones in long strides, and Park Hyeonho followed behind her.

If it hadn’t appeared even after I searched for this long, there probably wouldn’t be a problem.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“C-Can I really……?”

— Quaaack!

It happened just as Park Hyeonho’s foot touched the ground while he clung to my forearm.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

From the exact same bush I had checked, the duck shot out with its beak wide open.

‘Why now?!’

The inside of its mouth was a mess of blood, chunks of flesh, hair, and skin, with several rows of sharp teeth overlapping one another.

I let go of Park Hyeonho and opened the plastic bag I was gripping.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh……!”

— Quack! atom Quack!

My shoulder hit the ground with a Thud. silence To make matters worse, it was the same side where I had suffered the burn, and a sharp pain shot through my body.

The weight of the duck crashing into the plastic, which I hadn’t managed to fully open, made me lose my balance.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had tied enough garbage bags to fill several trucks.

The duck struggled violently, trying to break free from me. wizard With the plastic bag suddenly covering it, it flapped its wings, jumped around, and repeatedly snapped its beak.

“Stay still……!”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

And when I tightly tied the neck of the bag, now completely compressed…….

— Quack, quaaack!

I shoved the duck’s neck inside, gripped the opening of the bag tightly, and pulled downward to force the air out. orbit Then I swung it around several times in the air.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

The garbage bag, which now contained something resembling a mangled mass of feathers, fell onto the damp ground.

The quacking that had been echoing everywhere went silent as though someone had cut the power.

“……Wow.”

Thud.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

What was inside the bag was no longer that monstrous duck that moved like a living creature.

It really worked.

Now it was nothing more than garbage crushed by force, as though it had been put through a press filled with teeth.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

But before I could carefully check what it had become, it disappeared.

It was as if the garbage had been collected the very instant I threw it away.

The plastic bag vanished along with its contents, as though it had never existed.

It literally evaporated.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

The application sent a new message.

So was the application really the one taking away the garbage bags?

A duck emoji.

[Well done. advance Keep cleaning! 🦆]

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

I didn’t think it had spoken like that before.

‘Setting that aside, what’s with that way of speaking?’

But none of the other tabs had changed.

Wasn’t the tone of that sentence a little strange?

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Boss, how did you do that? antique Huh? adapt Huh?”

“What was that just now?”

After checking another screen and returning, the message had disappeared again.

Myeong Haebin was the one who broke the silence.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

……How the hell was I supposed to explain this?

I remained completely still for quite a while before I finally managed to get something out of my mouth.

Myeong Haebin ran toward me with shining eyes, examined both my hands, and began patting me all over as though she wanted to search me.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Well…… I don’t know. accent I just thought it would work?”

My answer was extremely suspicious, but Myeong Haebin looked ready to lift me into the air and toss me upward in celebration if she could.

“Boss, you’re a genius! crystal The greatest talent in our entire company!”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes.

That guy’s reaction was the normal one.

“That’s not normal…….”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Normal people felt wary or afraid of the unknown.

If someone saw a person stuff a monstrous duck-like creature into a bag and then make it disappear completely, the logical reaction would be fear.

Park Hyeonho, his face completely pale, was slowly backing away from me, leaving bloodstains on the ground.

“Are you all right?”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe it had been too much to expect an appropriate reaction from an ordinary person who knew absolutely nothing about this kind of thing.

We were inside a horror story where common sense was useless.

After moving Myeong Haebin aside for a moment, I approached Park Hyeonho. athlete Terrified, he began frantically rubbing his hands together.

“It’s just…… no, I’m sorry. antique Since all I do is get in the way…….”

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-Where……?”

After Woo Minhyeong’s death, Park Hyeonho seemed to have lost half his sanity, so I decided there was no point in pushing him any further.

“It’s fine. auction Let’s go.”

Regardless of his bewildered question, I could still taste blood in my throat.

Content of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 27: West Gate of Chodam Park (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

Catching a single monster didn’t mean this damn loop was over.

I nudged one of the feathers the duck had left on the ground with the tip of my foot and looked beyond the mist over the water.

Now that it seemed we had more or less gotten things under control, it was time to loot that damn store we hadn’t been able to return to earlier.

“My blood sugar is low.”
