Chapter 5: 4

Once a person is bitten by a virus monster, he becomes infected and transforms into the same monster.

‘To kill it, I have to attack its head.’

In the novel, it is explained that infected humans transform into grotesque monsters.

Dealing with humans who have turned into monsters like that is a bit tricky. Sometimes, depending on the physical condition before infection, monsters with enormous physiques or unusually fast monsters were born.

‘Still, there were weaknesses.’

They had weak eyesight and keen hearing. That means that you can easily lure them in with a louder sound.

Besides, they were weak to hot things like fire.

So I remembered the method I saw in the movie and brought a Molotov cocktail. Put kerosene in a wine bottle, insert a cloth to act as a wick, block the opening, and then light it to make a Molotov cocktail.

I bought an ax for my main weapon. After putting the ax in the holster on my back, I did not forget to cover it with a generous robe.

‘When it appears, throw a Molotov cocktail to disperse it, then attack its head with an axe.’

This is the perfect plan.

While I was thinking about that, I caught my breath when I saw a shadow in the distance.

At a glance, it’s a woman’s body. Putting on a robe and looking around seemed as suspicious as I was.

‘Is that aurora?’

In the novel, the reason Aurora came to 61st Street was because someone had sent her an anonymous letter.

[Come to Notium 61st Street. Then I will tell you the secret of your birth.]

I remember that it was a letter with such contents.

The heroine, Aurora, who lost her memories, was adopted by the Duke of Lancaster when she was fifteen.

The Duke of Lancaster and her brother, Eden, surrounded her with love, but the secret was always something she was curious about. It was a narrative worthy of a female lead.

However, as the novel continued throughout the year, the secret of her birth was never revealed, nor did anyone know who sent the letter.

“Oops!”

I came to my senses at the light scream that I heard. A woman wearing a robe, who had been approaching, accidentally tripped .

She nearly falls over and puts her nose in the road, but she manages to stand still and scan her surroundings, to make sure that no one witnessed this appearance.

‘I guess you’re the secretly stupid type, cute.’

Apparently, that woman is Aurora. I was watching  how she was snooping in front of the 61st mansion.

‘It looks dangerous.’

Still, since she’s the main character, she won’t die or get hurt, but isn’t it something you never know? The virus monster will appear right there, not anywhere else.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that it would be better for me to go inside the 61st st mansion myself. After all, the Elpinus herbs were kept inside the mansion.

‘Let’s jump over the fence.’

As soon as I made up my mind, I lowered my posture and entered the alley next to the mansion as unnoticed as possible.

The walls were not high, and all the lights were off in the mansion, so it didn’t look like anyone was there.

I placed the Molotov cocktail in the belt bag I was carrying so it wouldn’t spill, and then jumped over the wall.

Landing safely in the mansion’s yard, I took out the Molotov cocktail from my belt bag and checked it. Fortunately, the bottle didn’t break.

The mansion, where the lights had gone out and no one seemed to be there, was very quiet. So I had to be more careful. Because the monster might attack you while you’re off guard.

Slowly approached the front door of the mansion. The tightly closed door felt like the entrance of a tiger’s den.

‘No, the monster’s den is scarier than the tiger’s den.’

My lips were dry and my palms were sweaty. I slowly put my hand on the doorknob.

I wished someone would kill the monster in the meantime, but that miracle didn’t happen and I turned the doorknob myself.

Click.

The unlocked doorknob turned and soon after, the rusty hinges moved and made an unpleasant sound.

The lobby on the first floor of the mansion, visible through the open door, was dark. Only cool air surrounded the space, making it seem as if people had been gone for quite some time.

‘No, you don’t know that.’

As I recall, the infected person stayed alone in this mansion for several days and endured it. Where and how he got infected is not shown in the novel.

‘Why did the serialization stop with nothing revealed?’

I grumbled and looked around again.

Anyway, now the monster is starving because it hasn’t eaten people for several days.

‘I have to be alert.’

With a Molotov cocktail in hand, I took an oil lighter from my belt bag and was ready to light it at any moment.

It is fortunate that it has a European-style background in the 19th century when the industry was developed. In the 18th century, lighting would have been difficult in this situation.

‘Yes,  it doesn’t make sense to have a world view without guns to deal with zombies.’

I walked in slowly, thinking of those unnutritious thoughts to get rid of my tension.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were two stairs leading to the second floor. I stood in front of it for a while, contemplating where the Elpinus herb might be and where to start looking…

Tog.

A small box fell at my feet.

I was so shocked that I thought my heart was going to drop.

On the outside of the box that had fallen to the floor, there was a picture of a plant that looked exactly like a bug.

A plant that looks like a bug, that’s it!

It matched what was described in the novel. It was the Elpinus herb box I was looking for.

‘What, where did you fall from?’

I packed the box and put it in my belt bag. Then I looked up, and my eyes met a man staring at me from the railing on the dark second floor.

XX, what a surprise!

The man’s eyes widened.

“Hey, wait! wait!”

A man screamed and ran down the stairs. Then, in the middle, he stumbled and fell and rolled down.

Kuung-!

Then he collapsed in front of me.

What, what… !?

“Help. Help me, save me!”

The man, who soon came to his senses, hurriedly raised his upper body. He continued to limp even after barely getting back up, perhaps because his right leg was broken. Fortunately, it didn’t look like a monster bite. There were no bloodstains whatsoever.

I first protected him by putting him behind my back. And the moment I took out an oil lighter from my belt bag and tried to light the Molotov cocktail,

Kuung-

The floor shook in an instant.

With the Molotov cocktail in hand, I looked around. It was difficult to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. It was because the whole space of the mansion was resonating.

Then, a sticky green liquid fell on the floor in front of my shoe nose.

Tuk-Tuk.

‘XX.’

I barely moved my motionless head and slowly looked up at the ceiling like a broken robot.

Only then I saw three large eyes hanging from the ceiling looking down at me.

The one hanging from the ceiling chandelier had long arms and legs like a spider. His torso was swollen like water, and his head was twice the size of a normal person.

Even the pincer fangs visible through the gaping lips were like spiders. And the green saliva dripping out of it. It was an eye-popping sight.

‘It’s disgusting.’

If the world ends in the future, will I have to continue to deal with these things? In the incredible situation, I was stiff from head to toe and couldn’t move.

The monster did not move willingly.

Shhh- Shhh-

It only made an incomprehensible sound while being alert.

I quietly asked the man hiding behind my back, clutching the Molotov cocktail.

“Do you have any bites?”

“What, what? Uh…….”

“Answer me straight, I will help you. Did you get bitten by it?”

“Oh, no. When I came to this mansion, that monster was tied up in a room. My sister hasn’t been able to contact me for a few days, so I came to see her, but what kind of monster…”

Being tied up in a room, then there was someone who tied it up.

“What else? Is there anyone else here?”

“Uh, there wasn’t. There’s no one.”

I lit the firebomb wick as I watched the monster who was wary of us move his legs slowly.

At the same time the monster rushed at us. I calmly threw the firebomb at the monster.

Blows

The body caught on fire fell to the floor with a scream.

Ack! He continued to struggle in agony.

“Help me!”

In the meantime, the man with a limp leg kicked out the front door and ran away.

‘Yes, run away, you are a hindrance after all.’

I drew an ax from my back and approached to blow off the monster’s head. Then the quick-witted monster runs straight out of the open front door.

“Damn it! no!”

I ran frantically following  the monster who ran across the yard towards the gate. The direction happened to be on the side of the aurora.

“It’s dangerous! Avoid it!”

Hoping that Aurora would hear, I shouted with all my might  and ran beyond breath.

And when the monster just broke through the gate-

I swung the ax at him.

Keuag

The head was deflected, but the blade of the ax stuck right into the torso.

Whoa!

He groaned and collapsed to the floor.

“Kyaaaagh!”

A woman believed to be Aurora sat down in front of the gate, letting out her screams.

it’s X

(btw X = cursing)
