Labyrinth Exploration 101 Episode 237

Dangerously(3)

The live broadcast had ended, but the online world was just getting started.

Lee Si-ah opened browsers all across her laptop. She accessed various communities and SNS platforms regardless of gender or age.

│List of spells Seol Ha-woon used against the Shaman this episode│

1. Gas Explosion

Invisible combustible particles, presumably magic power dispersed like aerosol and injected underground. Then exploding the entire space in an instant. Appears similar to a Thermobaric Weapon.

2. White Phosphorus

Unextinguishable flames. Seol Ha-woon perfectly replicated the properties of ‘white phosphorus’ with magic power.

Additionally, the thick and toxic smoke generated while burning serves as a smokescreen, hiding Seol Ha-woon’s position and buying time to prepare the next attack. A battlefield control-type spell.

─Oh that white fire was white phosphorus? Damn that’s insane

─If he specializes in replicating modern weapons, that’s really OP

┗So they say they’re already screening people in the military too lol

─Are there still a lot of fantasy telekinesis followers these days? Well, they say telekinesis has limited power if it existed in reality lol

┗There’s still a shit ton of them lol But they’ve changed their logic to say that since there’s no other sorcerer like Seol Hawoon, we’re ultimately right.

│Let’s learn about Seol Ha-woon called ‘Amanbo’│

│Why university professors are watching Seol Ha-woon│

│Is the last Seol Ha-woon a clone?│

Which one is the clone? The one in military uniform must be the clone, right?

─The one in military uniform seems real. If it’s Seol Ha-woon, he’d definitely wear military uniform

└But his legs are fine, how can he be real..

─The staff is probably real.

─The military uniform one is obviously the clone;

└You never know. Considering what the production team thinks, who knows what twist they prepared?

│Ah Mitamnan is really too much│

Ending it like this, the production team are really crazy bastards

│Imperfect clone << Is this it│

Isn’t the story kind of predictable? Eventually it’s clone vs real structure.

─No no, there’s no way it’s such a simple maze

─Always saying everything’s predictable, what a fucking idiot lol

│Last Seol Ha-woon close-up screenshot│

│Seol Ha-woon standing on both legs│

│Soldier Seol Ha-woon????????│

│Reasons why Seol Ha-woon with healthy legs is a clone.txt│

Clone = ‘newly’ created based on DNA.

Therefore, it cannot reproduce the injuries Seol Ha-woon sustained while living. Injury = being real.

─Couldn’t his legs have been healed when entering the labyrinth?

└Then it would be a healing labyrinth, not an apocalypse labyrinth

└Would the wrinkles in his brain also be healed?

─Hmm.. I’m a bit against that

─Ah, I’m so fucking excited for Seolhaun with healthy legs lol

─If one of them is fake, will they fight each other intensely?

│In-depth analysis of this episode (no summary)│

There’s this passage in the Noah’s Ark Project content.

Therefore, we will clone only carefully selected superior genetic information (DNA) and regenerate them as perfect new humans.

So not all explorers were cloned, only some of them, and most of those clones would be failures.

My prediction is that Soldier Ha-woon is the clone, but I don’t know if there are other humans successfully cloned like Soldier Ha-woon..

─If it’s superior genes, is Im Hae-jun excluded?

┗Im Hae-jun is also elite; His father is a real estate tycoon and he’s an elite archer himself, why do you keep ignoring him,,

┗The Im Hae-jun bashing is too severe these days

┗Hae-jun is funny, not pathetic

┗Hae-jun isn’t stupid

─If Seol Ha-woon is a clone, would he also be Je Mal-ol?

─If Seol Ha-woon is imperfectly cloned, wouldn’t that be a disaster? What if he says only he is right and kills everyone else

┗ For real, that could happen. Like “I’m the clone but I’m the real one and everyone else is fake” lol

┗No, if you listen to insider rumors, this seems really possible.

│Yeah, this is below Wolryeong Labyrinth level│

│Apocalypse Labyrinth next week preview analysis│

The last narration is Seol Ha-woon, right? This Seol Ha-woon is the real Seol Ha-woon with the cane.

Since clones are created by extracting DNA and creating them completely anew, they cannot replicate Seol Ha-woon’s injuries.

Therefore, the ‘Soldier Seol Ha-woon’ that Kate met is the clone.

The problem is Kate and clone Seol Ha-woon…

Clone Seol Ha-woon is a very dangerous existence. You all know the concept of doppelganger, right? Why would they try to kill themselves when they discover their other self?

One of us is fake, but since neither can accept that they’re the fake one, they try to kill each other..

So, I cautiously speculate that this labyrinth’s biggest villain might be clone Seol Ha-woon

─Oh; that sounds plausible.

─If Seol Ha-un, who’s more villain-like than actual villains, becomes a real villain, that would be legendary lol

─Here comes the fortune teller

│Wolryeong Labyrinth comprehensive explorer evaluation│

S : Seol Ha-woon, Lee Jun-ho

A+ : Kate, Kang Hyeon, Yoon Hwa-rim

A : Seo Ji-woo, Im Hae-jun….

Popular posts on every page of every site multiplied into dozens.

Basic view count was in the millions, with comments exceeding thousands.

But these things weren’t enough. They only made things more confusing. Analysis posts were called analysis posts, but they were ultimately just speculation.

“…Ha.”

Eventually, she picked up her smartphone to check ‘that account’.

An account where an anonymous informant claiming to be a Mitamnan insider posts all sorts of rumors and spoilers.

The accuracy rate wasn’t low. About 20-30% was correct. Much more accurate than analysis posts where 97 out of 100 were wrong.

She had quit for a while because it only annoyed her when there were bad stories about Seol Ha-woon.

But today, just for today, she couldn’t help it.

How could she resist when Seol Ha-woon walking on both legs appeared?

@nanabmddddd

Regarding this episode

Overall : Inside the production team, expectations for this ‘Apocalypse’ labyrinth are surprisingly low. Rumors say they put too much effort into Wolryeong Labyrinth.

Seol Ha-woon : Starting from this labyrinth, there’s a possibility of image risk for Seol Ha-woon. Analysis suggests his existing ‘problem solver’ position could be shaken. Could be a turning point in popularity.

Rumor has it, Seol Ha-woon’s most honest true face might be revealed?

Kate : Kate’s narrative momentum will reach its peak. There are observations that she could become the protagonist of this labyrinth.

Kang Hyeon : Rumors say Kang Hyeon’s image will change in a positive direction. Seems the production team was moved by Kang Hyeon’s appearance in this apocalypse.

Im Hae-jun : His current image will likely be maintained until the end….

Lee Si-ah stared at a certain paragraph and muttered.

“Seol Ha-woon’s most honest true face…?”

Somehow, it was wording that felt very ominous yet very anticipated.

│Another Mitamnan-like ending as expected… Who is the military uniform Seol Ha-woon?!│

│Two Seol Ha-woons?!│

│Seol Ha-woon is walking around?!│

│Mitamnan once again sheds light on the dark side of labyrinths… What was the 2007 Doppelganger Labyrinth incident?│

│”Holding breath until next week” Global fandom in ‘panic’ over shocking ending!│

Labyrinth Inside Set Stage. Kim Jeong-wook scanned through the news pouring out like crazy as soon as the live broadcast ended.

The titles are all filled with shock, astonishment, question marks, and exclamation points, and the comments are the same.

·These crazy bastards!

·How can they cut it off like this!

·Ah! These sons of bitches!

·I’m curious how much money the production team has been taking.

·Seol Ha-woon. Originally. Walks around. This reporter. Damn it!

Portal sites have a slightly older demographic, and communities are full of speculators.

Kim Jeong-wook looked around at the Labyrinth Inside production staff.

They were also quietly flipping through their smartphones. Because of the massive cliffhanger from the live broadcast ending and preview.

Kim Jeong-wook also checked American sites.

The situation was the same there.

The timeline exploded with Mitamnan.

@RealTalkJones Fxxk what’s going on with that ending?! Is the soldier Haun a CLONE?

What’s with that ending, the soldier Ha-woon is a clone, right?

@KateStan4Life Everyone’s talking about Haun but can we discuss Kate’s cliffhanger?! #TeamKate

Everyone’s only talking about Ha-woon, but can’t we talk about Kate’s scene?

@Archive_Worm The narrative implications are insane.

This labyrinth’s narrative implications are insane.

Kim Jeong-wook typed another address into his browser.

NEC.morg

NEC stands for NaN Election Commission.

It’s a voting site created by some MIT engineering student who’s a fan of Mitamnan.

Any American can vote, and it provides transparent data visualization, rapidly increasing traffic to the point of receiving corporate investment.

He checked the real-time voting status in North America.

[LA]

1st place Seol Ha-woon, 2nd place Kate (0.8%p -)

[New York]

1st place Kate, 2nd place Seol Ha-woon (2.1%p -)

[Texas]

1st place Kang Hyeon, 2nd place Lee Jun-ho (2.2%p -)

[Florida]

1st place Seo Ji-woo, 2nd place Yoon Hwa-rim (9.8%p -)

[Illinois]

1st place Kate, 2nd place Seol Ha-woon (1.5%p -)

This NEC also has a community function, but it’s all just clone talk.

Who’s the clone, whether the military uniform is a clone or the cane is a clone, whether they’ll eventually fight when they meet, no wait one’s in Texas and one’s in Florida so how would they even meet, etc…

“…Um. What happens next week?”

Kim Jeong-wook carefully asked the Labyrinth Inside production staff.

The production staff turned their heads one by one.

“We don’t know either.”

“Come on. You’re monitoring though.”

The Labyrinth Inside production staff also participates in Mitamnan.

“Just tell me. I’m really tight-lipped. I’m a former soldier? I’ll handle it like classified information.”

Kim Jeong-wook laughed. Then the PD shook his head.

“We really don’t know. Especially this labyrinth’s ending was edited directly by PD Yoon.”

“There were rumors going around. That Seol Ha-woon’s bare face would be shown.”

“Well… those kinds of rumors are spread by viral marketing companies the way we want them to.”

Kim Jeong-wook gritted his teeth.

The curiosity is killing me, really.

“Let’s do our content first. You know the ideal type world cup?”

“…Ideal type world cup?”

“Yes. We analyze the labyrinths that have appeared in Mitamnan so far and rank which ones were more interesting.”

“Ah… yes.”

A staff member holding a slate walked out onto the set stage. Kim Jeong-wook put down his phone for now.

Zone 5

DEATH OR ALIVE

I used the round-trip ticket, and the apartment’s portal closed.

“Nothing happened?”

I asked the fox and camel in the corner of the apartment.

They both quietly yawned. It seemed they had become friends with each other.

I looked out the window. The scenery outside the apartment had been constructed.

“…A park.”

There’s a park, a convenience store, a parking garage. The scenery of an ordinary apartment complex.

I opened the door to my room. I took Truck out of subspace and deployed it first.

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle.

By the way, Truck is completely connected to my sequence, so it can operate autonomously.

Think of it as a ‘sequence artificial intelligence’ that I crafted and implanted with consciousness.

Rattle rattle rattle rattle.

Truck goes down the stairs.

Passing through the entrance and heading to the park, there’s some bill fallen under a trash can in the park.

It’s a 10,000 won bill.

Korean won seems to regenerate somewhere around here.

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle.

While moving around the park, suddenly.

“What?”

I casually looked up.

The sky was a ceiling.

No stars or moon, just a concrete ceiling. Does this mean the entire apartment complex is one giant building?

That’s when it happened.

─What’s this?

Someone discovered Truck. I turned Truck’s head.

There was a thin boy.

He looked about thirteen. Too young to be in a place like this.

“Who is it?

─Ahhh!

He screams in surprise then quickly covers his mouth.

─…The truck is talking.

“Are you a resident? I’m controlling the truck.”

─Ah… no. Are you an apartment resident?

“How are you here if you’re not a resident?”

─We got kicked out. For not paying rent.

We. Meaning he’s not alone at least.

─But how do you control this thing?

The young boy looks at Truck with curious eyes under the park’s streetlight.

─Ah. Are you perhaps a new resident? Then, this is a shameless request but could you spare some food…?

Click!

Something made a snapping sound and the streetlight went out.

─Gasp! Oh, no!

The man made a frightened sound. I turned on Truck’s headlights brightly.

The man who had almost fallen into panic let out a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on?”

─Phew, thank goodness. The fire must never go out. Do you see over there?

Where the man pointed, there was a form clumped together in the darkness.

It’s small. Size-wise, it would be about 4-5 years old.

─That thing is a Shadow. That’s why you shouldn’t wander around in places without light.

“What were you doing here?”

─Making money, earning experience, and most importantly I need food supplies and medicine. My sister is very sick.

The man’s words seem to contain no lies. Though it’s slightly inaccurate since Truck is doing the assessment.

“Good. I’ll give you food. In return, you tell me everything you know about this 5th Zone, without any lies.”

He seems like a sharp kid somehow, so let’s try using him as a guide.
