Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 181
Shape of You(1)
Lee Si-ah is still watching the ongoing live broadcast.
─James: Theme parks, hospitals, beaches, educational facilities… it was a colony with everything. I thought this place would become a paradise in space.
Supervisor James recites his story with a sorrowful expression, while Kate’s party quietly listens beside him.
─James: But…
Kruaaaaa! Grroaaaak!
Zombies beneath the tracks. They seem to be lying dead somewhere, but the moment they detect living beings, they spring up and charge.
─James: Everyone turned into monsters like these.
James is just right. He doesn’t express sadness too excessively, nor does he seem like he’s overacting.
-James looks so fucking nice lol
-But seriously it’s like watching a movie
-Isn’t Mitamnan popular overseas too?
-This season’s ratings are almost 40% I heard.
-I live in LA and whether white or black, small talk is always about Mitamnan
These days Mitamnan is a regular source of national pride. It’s setting records for consecutive #1 on global OTT platforms and most viewing hours.
Meanwhile, the train arrives at its final destination.
─James: This is it. Cosmos A Section. Deep inside the mothership.
Ominous background music plays as Kate’s party gets off the train.
-It’s really a labyrinth..
-Explorers conquer labyrinths much harder than this, right? Damn
-There was a reason explorers make so much money fuck..
-Seriously the scale compared to season 1 is fucking night and day
─James: Be careful. This is where all the tragedy began.
The party first explores the surroundings.
─Jo Woon: Desktop found.
Jo Woon discovers a desktop, and according to the predetermined order, Kate upgrades her skill.
─James: If you wait in this hangar, my colleagues will come.
James seems to want to wait for his colleagues, but.
─Kate: No. There’s no need for that. We just need to go up, right?
─James: Uh… what?
Kate uses her skill. Blue magic power forms a framework and transforms into a small transport that can carry 9-10 people.
48-hour cooldown. It’s the perfect ‘Mini Transport’ for her, who commands countless slaves… no, butlers.
─Kate: Get on. Let’s go.
─Lee Jun-ho: Oh? It got bigger? Did you just upgrade it?
─Kate: It’s max level now.
─Yoon Hwa-rim: Kate! Kate! Kate! Make me a slave too!
─Kate: …I said they’re butlers.
Yoon Hwa-rim cheered for Kate as she boarded the transport, and a strange light flashed across James’s expression.
「Ether Storage Ship」
In a warehouse full of various machine parts, Im Hae-jun and two warriors are trapped. Their haggard appearance from lack of food and water is evident.
─Im Hae-jun: Hyungs.
Thinking this couldn’t continue, Im Hae-jun stepped forward with a determined face.
─Im Hae-jun: I’ll draw their attention.
─Lee Jong-soo: What?
─Jin Ho-jong: Why?
The two older brothers quickly look up.
-Wow Im Hae-jun?
-Hae-jun-ping?
-That scared kid?
Everyone on KakaoTalk is also reacting with surprise.
─Lee Jong-soo: Are you crazy?
─Im Hae-jun: No. We can’t stay trapped here forever. I’ve been… I’ve only been a burden because I was scared of zombies.
─Lee Jong-soo: What if you get eliminated?
─Im Hae-jun: Then I get eliminated. And I still have many lives left.
Lee Jong-soo has been eliminated once, and Jin Ho-jong has already been eliminated twice.
“…Hae-jun is growing.”
Lee Si-ah is pleased. The fandoms of Seol Ha-woon and Im Hae-jun are almost in an alliance.
─Im Hae-jun: I’ll lead the escape operation.
-He’s learning well from the right person
-But where is he copying that from?
-He likes manga. Sounds like a manga line
─Im Hae-jun: I’ll draw the aggro to the ventilation duct on the opposite side. When that happens, run away.
Then Lee Jong-soo and Jin Ho-jong look at him with admiring eyes. The three people reach out and put their hands together neatly. Like in apartment games.
─Lee Jong-soo: I won’t forget.
─Jin Ho-jong: Thanks, Hae-jun.
─Im Hae-jun: …It’s nothing.
-But those two warriors look fucking useless
-For real, they’re abandoning the youngest
-What abandoning, he said he’d do it himself lol
-lolololol Ah but Lee Jong-soo cracks me up every time I see him lolol His expressions are so transparent lololol
-Lee Jong-soo’s inner thoughts) Thank god, fuck
In the spirit of unity, Lee Jong-soo lets out a sigh of relief, and Im Hae-jun goes out first.
─Im Hae-jun: Aaaaaaahhhhh!
He runs frantically while drawing the zombies’ aggro.
─Lee Jong-soo: Hae-jun. I won’t forget.
After the almost tearful Lee Jong-soo and Jin Ho-jong.
「Cosmos A Section」
Seol Ha-woon’s group taking a rest appears.
Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo are sleeping, and Seol Ha-woon has somehow woken up and is lost in thought.
-Jemal-ol is really three-dimensional
-Looks like he’s thinking of a strategy
-He does give off eldest brother vibes
-Feels like he alone has different undertones
Lee Si-ah agreed with SilTalk’s chat.
Kang Hyeon is incredibly handsome. Lee Jun-ho is also incredibly handsome. Same goes for Seo Ji-woo and Kate. If you were to grade their appearance, they’d be S++ class.
Seol Ha-woon definitely isn’t at that level.
But his aura is different, you could say. On screen, he particularly pierces through like an awl.
It really feels like he alone has thick undertones.
-No matter how I think about it, Jemal-ol definitely got plastic surgery during his vacation
─Eldia: What are you thinking about?
Suddenly Eldia butted in.
Lee Si-ah’s eyes narrowed into triangles.
─Eldia: Ha-woon. Everyone’s sleeping, so you can rest a bit more
─Seol Ha-woon: I planned to sleep only 2 hours from the beginning.
─Eldia: Wow. Is that possible for you? I guess it’s because you’re from the Special Forces. I need so much sleep….
She shyly tucks her hair behind her ear. Lee Si-ah’s brow furrows.
Flirting in this situation?
Even more suspicious.
─Seol Ha-woon: Haha… What happened to your companions?
But somehow Seol Ha-woon seems to be flirting too. He’s someone who would never smile like that upon first meeting.
Could it be?
In a situation that would shake even Lee Si-ah, the viewers are going even more crazy.
-Fuck are they filming a romance
-Wow Seol Ha-woon’s serious, look at him smile
-He’s using up 10 episodes worth of smiles right now
-Ah just watch it fuck so much chatter
-lololol the pine caterpillars are having seizures lololol
-The bugs are squirming lol
─Eldia: We’ll be able to meet them soon when the hangar opens.
─Seol Ha-woon: If we go deeper inside, are there many survivors?
─Eldia: There definitely will be. Like Truck. I ran away alone though….
She lowers her head as if feeling guilty.
─Seol Ha-woon: Anyone would have done the same.
Seol Ha-woon comforts her.
Look at that tone of voice. From Seol Ha-woon who was always cold and meticulous, a quite sweet tone flows out.
-lolol
-lolololololololololol
-Seol Ha-woon’s gonna get called to a parliamentary audit
─Eldia: …Thank you.
Beep beep-
Suddenly a sound rings from Eldia’s terminal.
─Seol Ha-woon: Wake up.
Seol Ha-woon also pokes Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo with his walking stick.
─Seo Ji-woo: …What time is it now.
Seo Ji-woo gets up groggily. Her face looks like a steamed bun. Kang Hyeon is also puffy. SilTalk is going crazy saying it’s cute.
─Eldia: Let’s move. Everyone follow me.
「Hangar」
They arrive at the hangar. A space surrounded on all sides by precision steel plates.
─Eldia: This way.
Everyone enters the control booth that overlooks the entire hangar, and Eldia sits in front of the desktop.
─Seo Ji-woo: …Honestly, let’s just do rock-paper-scissors for this.
As soon as she sees the desktop, Seo Ji-woo’s eyes light up with fire. Kang Hyeon quickly joins in and extends his fist.
─Seo Ji-woo: What? You go away. Get lost, quickly. Shoo shoo.
─Kang Hyeon: Why me? I want to join too.
─Seo Ji-woo: You’re going to level up your terminal anyway.
─Kang Hyeon: Hyung said that was good though.
─Seol Ha-woon: It’s not good. It’s more like having one person in the party is okay? We don’t need level 3 or higher….
The three of them bicker, but unfortunately, it’s a desktop that Kate has already used.
-Kate came much faster
-I knew it
-Kate won this time
─Eldia: I’ll open the hangar!
Eldia seems to have finished her work, and the massive gate of the hangar opens.
A small hull quietly flies in from space.
Quite a few people disembark from inside.
─Eldia: Everyone, over here!
─Raid: Eldia!
Among them, a blonde man who appears to be the leader spreads his arms toward Eldia. Eldia ignores him and gestures.
─Eldia: Everyone, come inside the spaceship!
Seol Ha-woon’s party also approaches that way, but the man called Raid blocks them.
─Raid: …I heard the story. You delayed our rendezvous time because you were gathering supplies?
─Seol Ha-woon: Yes. We are a mercenary group, after all.
─Raid: Haha. That’s fine, I suppose. How did you get that injury? Were you perhaps bitten by something-
─Seol Ha-woon: It’s a disability. I’m disabled.
-They’re having a power struggle lol
-Is it because of Eldia?
-But that guy’s handsome too
-Why are there so many people rating looks whenever Labyrinth People appear?
─Seol Ha-woon: Please explain the operation first.
─Raid: It’s simple. We’ll use Eldia’s supervisor authority to open all the hangars. And all the hangars in every sector of the Cosmos Ship are connected to each other. We’ll use the hangars as vertical passages.
─Seol Ha-woon: Take this spaceship and go into the deepest part of the Cosmos Ship?
─Raid: That’s right. Jekol, prepare for takeoff!
Vroooom. The spaceship rises vertically. Eldia, who has somehow taken a seat at the pilot’s seat, taps on her laptop and activates her supervisor authority.
Seol Ha-woon gazes at her back with a strangely wistful look.
-Seol Ha-woon immediately pushed to the back lolol
-Eldia wasn’t interested in Seol Ha-woon from the beginning
-lolol Jemal-ol looks so sad
-But why is Jemal-ol suddenly like that? Why is he so fixated on Eldia?
-I think his eyes just went crazy. She must be totally his type
Surely it’s not some dog-like backstory where she resembles a lover he lost during an operation or something.
─Eldia: …Done. I’ve sent the signal, so they’ll open in sequence.
Whoooosh!
The warship rises, expelling fuel.
─Eldia: Everyone sit down and fasten your safety belts!
Whoooosh──
The spaceship takes off vertically. Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo keep swallowing as if their ears are blocked, while Seol Ha-woon remains quiet as if lost in thought.
─Eldia: There. We’ve arrived.
In the meantime, the spaceship stops.
Hissssss──
The external door opens.
─Raid: Get off. Quickly, quickly~ We don’t have time~ Thanks to you people wasting it~
Raid’s urging. Seol Ha-woon gets off first. Tap. Tap. Using his walking stick.
Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo follow behind him.
─Seo Ji-woo: Why is it so dark? Hey Kang Hyeon. Turn on the radar.
─Kang Hyeon: You called me useless before. Now you only look for me at times like this.
─Seo Ji-woo: …Yeah. I’m sorry. I was blinded by the desktop-
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep!
A sound that suddenly echoes loudly. Seo Ji-woo flinches and trembles, and Seol Ha-woon turns around.
─Seol Ha-woon: Is this the right place?
“Huh….”
The situation is strange.
The three of them are outside, but Eldia’s party is still inside the hull.
Without taking a single step out… they’re aiming firearms.
─Seo Ji-woo: …Um, Eldia?
─Eldia: I’m sorry.
Those first words.
A sudden apology.
-What
-???
-Wow
-Wow hahahahaha
-Backstab
-Wow shit
-Crazy shit
-??
-????
SilTalk messages are flooding down incredibly fast too.
─Eldia: I have no choice but to betray your trust.
The moment Kang Hyeon takes one step forward.
─Raid: Move any further and I’ll shoot you dead.
A red dot appears on his chest.
Eldia also shakes her head as if to stop him.
─Eldia: …Mr. Kang Hyeon. It’s a laser. Even someone like you can’t dodge light.
Seol Ha-woon glares at her and asks.
─Seol Ha-woon: Did you plan this from the beginning?
─Eldia: …I should at least thank you for helping. In return, I won’t kill you directly. But we have different objectives, so this was unavoidable.
─Seol Ha-woon: Are there actually survivors inside?
─Eldia: There should be a few.
Cold. Like she doesn’t care whether those bastards live or die. That indifference seeps out like thorns. The heavenly appearance from before has completely vanished.
-Wow that bitch is a bastard
-She’s crazy
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Blinded by Seolhaun’s beauty and got hit in the back of the head ㅋㅋㅋ
-This is why you can’t trust Labyrinth People
-hahahaha
-Jemallot going to hell~~
-Even the people around Seolhaun are saying “you’re so right, you’re so right” so it seems like his ego is through the roof lol
-I knew this bastard would get screwed once. Seriously disgusting how he thought he was something special
-Let’s go to hell refreshingly
-Hauna, you should turn off Instagram comments ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Other fans, or antis, are jumping out thinking this is their chance. Not just SilTalk.
All Mitamnan-related communities except Seol Ha-woon fans are excited.
Especially the communities in Seol Ha-woon’s tab are under concentrated artillery fire.
│Ah shit if you’re gonna fail, fail alone don’t drag Kang Hyeon down with you│
│Who’s the one failing with Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo?? Who??│
│You’re absolutely right lol it’s just fucking bullshit│
│You guys are screwed right?│
From now on this is Manchester Unai…
“Damn it.”
Even these guys are barging in. This is driving me crazy.
Since it’s a program with such high ratings that everyone watches regardless of age or gender, the trolling is unmanageable.
Even Seol Ha-woon’s most recent Instagram post is…
@Seolhaun
The scenery is nice.
[♥885k]
Your luck finally ran out, huh? Pathetic.
What a fucking idiot lololololol
YOU RUINED EVERYTHING DAMN CRIPPLE…
It’s hell.
“Crazy.”
All kinds of languages are being spewed – English, Latin, Japanese, etc., and most of them seem like curses.
─Seol Ha-woon: Is your objective that substance?
Meanwhile, Seol Ha-woon asks Eldia something.
About some substance that caused the zombie outbreak.
─Seol Ha-woon: What you want is… immortality?
─Eldia: You’re quick to catch on. That’s right. In the age of interstellar travel, wealth and glory no longer have any meaning. The only meaningful resource is time.
-What good is being quick when you’re already fucked
-Blinded by looks, tsk tsk
-Ah shit even Kang Hyeon is going down with him, Kang Hyeon seemed to suspect Eldia
-Right Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo consistently suspected Eldia but shit Seol Ha-woon trusted her so much
That’s true.
Until Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo joined up with Seol Ha-woon, there was ‘editing’ that showed them observing Eldia from a distance, seeming not to fully trust her.
If it really ends like this, only Seol Ha-woon will be under concentrated fire.
─Eldia: A clue to immortality that might not be obtainable even if we invested all the energy in the universe has appeared right here, so why should we give that up?
Eldia waves her hand.
─Eldia: This place is a prison. We’ve trapped hundreds, maybe thousands of zombies. Try living here for a while. If you’re lucky, you might survive.
Those bastards leave among themselves,
Thud!
The gate closes in the prison. Darkness where not a single point of light enters.
“Oh please.”
Lee Si-ah prays.
Usually at times like this, it continues next week.
Please don’t do that.
─Seo Ji-woo : …Wow, crazy.
Fortunately, it continues.
─Seo Ji-woo : My head is burning right now. No, that crazy… is there really such a crazy bitch.
Sizzle! Seo Ji-woo ignites a Blue Flame.
Seo Ji-woo asks Kang Hyeon.
─Seo Ji-woo : Hey Kang Hyeon, you didn’t suspect either, right?
─Kang Hyeon : Because Ha-woon hyung believed her.
-Agreed lol Kang Hyeon has reason to blame Seol Ha-woon
-Kang Hyeon seems pissed too. Saying that to his face lol
-Seol Ha-woon total loss
-That’s right
-Even the fanboys will admit it this time
-lololol They always barked like dogs saying Jemallot wins in the end lolololol Cut by a Labyrinth Person
-Seol Ha-woon got his throat slit, right?
-Taking Kang Hyeon and Seo Ji-woo and retiring is pretty big lol Can the fandom handle it?
-No, even if they fall, they fall together, so what does it matter? Did someone threaten them to work with Seol Ha-woon;;?
-Fanboy above shut your mouth
─Seo Ji-woo : She deceived Jemallot… Then is that crazy woman smarter than Seer?
-No, doesn’t seem like it
-Seol Ha-woon was bewitched by Eldia
-Look at Seol Ha-woon just sitting there lol Really like a sick bastard lol I’m going to cancel my vote for that guy.
Seol Ha-woon stays still. Without saying anything, just as if he’s resigned.
│Look at Seol Ha-woon spacing out│
│He didn’t think this far either│
│Jemallot was Icarus│
│He got to be the protagonist this long, that’s enough.│
As traffic builds up and the communities slow down.
──Kwaaaaang!
A sudden explosion.
A huge roar shakes the speakers. Vibrations surround and shake the interior.
“Oh, that startled me.”
Even as Lee Si-ah is surprised, ear-splitting noise continues from the TV.
Krrrrrrrk──-
The sound of something getting completely destroyed. Shockwaves sweep across the screen with devastating force.
Krrrrrrk──-!
The sound of something being shattered to pieces. Something like a massive object being ground in a blender.
─Seo Ji-woo : Wha… what was that just now?
Seo Ji-woo blinks in confusion, and suddenly Kang Hyeon turns to look at Seol Ha-woon.
─Kang Hyeon : …Hyung?
Before they knew it, Seol Ha-woon had turned coldly calm.
As if cold air was rising, a streak of blue light suddenly flashed through his pupils.
─Seol Ha-woon : I installed batteries inside the spaceship.
A flashback is inserted with his dry explanation.
The scene of him suspiciously watching Eldia from the Casino VVIP Room.
The scene of him tying premium batteries he farmed there with tape and installing them like bombs inside the spaceship.
At that moment, Lee Si-ah’s mouth fell open.
─Seol Ha-woon : Hyeon-ah.
Seol Ha-woon’s pupils are shown in close-up. Eyes sharp like a beast. Cold and desolate. Making goosebumps rise all over the viewer’s body.
─Seol Ha-woon : Do I look like someone who would trust anyone?
Scary. Chilling.
And just as much, thrilling.
Lee Si-ah stared blankly at SilTalk. SilTalk also slowed down for a moment.
Was it too unexpected a development? Did they stop while typing curses?
But, not long after.
-Holy shit
-Wh at??
-Just lol
-alksjdflaksjdf
-Crazy shit
-????
-lololololol
-??
-Wow
-Just
-Fuck..
-Never doubt Jemallot
-Fuck he’s just on top of everyone’s head..
-This bastard really came as an active player to kids’ fights
-This crazy bastard lolololol
-He’s insane
-Backstab of a backstab what the hell
-Fuck how does he flip it like this;;
–Is Seol Ha-woon a god? Is Seol Ha-woon a god? Is Seol Ha-woon a god? Is Seol Ha-woon a god?
-He’s just a fucking master of psychological warfare. The Labyrinth People can’t win lol
-Jemallot, what the hell are you;
-This is legendary level
-No way, these bastards are getting totally played by the production crew every time lololol
-Holy shit
-The production crew just uses the same pattern, anyone who falls for this should question their intelligence level
-Fucking gives me chills
-Fucking crazy bastard for real
-Seol Ha-woon’s Instagram is fucking hilarious lololol hurry up and go delete your comments
-Wow
-Ah fuck lololol this is so ridiculous
The chat messages are going up like crazy. The speed is different. The community is the same.
Even refreshing doesn’t make it move.
All sites would have considered Mitamnan traffic for this Friday time slot, but Seol Ha-woon managed to crash even that.
And the Labyrinth Exploration live broadcast.
[To be continued next week]
