[How can this be! Didn’t I clearly say before that if anyone makes a sound, I would cut one of the wires? Then why are you opening your mouth? I will cut another wire.]
With that, a wire somewhere on the airplane was indeed cut, just like that.
The people who saw this happen in real time through the screen in front of their seats.
“!!!…..!”
They lost their wits momentarily and were about to burst with outrage.
But now, because there was really only one wire left, they couldn’t even dare to open their mouths and had to express their anger with their expressions alone.
[Wow, this is seriously devilish.]
[This is like saying ‘raise your hands or I’ll shoot!’ and then ‘oh, why are you moving your hand?’ and shooting LOL.]
[Is this… egostick? Where’s the mangostick I knew until now?]
[??? : Are you finally coming to your senses?]
Even the chat room, which was usually favorable to Egostick, couldn’t help but express amazement at their cruelty.
Egostick, with a voice as if it was only natural, spoke even louder.
[Why use words to speak? Use body language. Like sign language. Really, the lack of sense.]
People’s anger was rising until suddenly they calmed down. They all eventually realized the truth.
The meaninglessness of there being only one wire left to prevent the bomb from exploding.
The fact that if they got the last question wrong, the bomb would detonate anyway.
A bone-chilling coldness filled the air.
Only the voice from the speaker cheerfully delivered the final question.
[Now! The 10th and final question! If you get this right, everyone can safely disembark from the plane, but if you get it wrong… well, you know. Here’s the question. What kind of oil do children like the most? Countdown starts now!]
[3:00]
[2:59]
[2:58]
…
As the last question was posed.
Everyone’s attention was sweatingly focused on a middle-aged man.
Those who couldn’t guess the answer at all.
Those who somewhat knew the answer.
Those who were certain of the answer, yet couldn’t utter a word.
They only desperately—more desperately than ever—looked at the middle-aged man.
“….”
The man with the flushed face pondered for a long while.
[0:03]
[0:02]
[0:01]
At the final moment, he wrote down an answer.
[Three, two, one. Ding! Let’s check the answer. Let’s see, you’ve written IU. Alright, let’s see. Yes! The answer is…]
A suffocating tension.
Both the passengers on the plane.
And the people watching the broadcast on the ground.
Everyone swallowed their saliva while waiting for the answer to be announced.
[The oil that children like the most is…May oil (5월 Oil)! IU is, unfortunately, not the answer!!! That’s too bad. Well, then, so long.]
Egostick pondered for a moment before continuing.
[That’s it, goodbye!]
Bang.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
With the sound of something exploding.
The airplane began to fall.
