'That said, Lee Ji-min now knows I wasn't with the girls during that time. My alibi's completely shot.'
This made Lee Ji-min's presence a bit of a nuisance.
She knew I'd been gone the whole time, so she might start getting suspicious.
Of course, since she'd agreed to become my pussy slave, she might keep her mouth shut and hold onto the secret... but still.
'If it looks like she's gonna blab to the other girls, I'll kidnap Lee Ji-min first and lock her up in the basement.'
I checked that Park Si-eun and Jeong Su-bin were sleeping soundly, then casually headed back to the shower room.
I gently nudged their bodies to wake them up.
"Girls, time to get up. We should head down to the first floor soon."
"...Ugh, mm..."
"Hngh... mm..."
I woke the two cute bitches, who whined and fussed adorably in their half-asleep state.
I shoved my cock back into their pussies and gave each of them three more creampies.
That fully snapped them awake.
"...M-Master... Do normal guys cum this much...?"
"Doubt it. I'm exceptional in every way."
Their wombs and pussies overflowing once more with thick white cum, my pussy slaves clutched their heavy lower bellies, faces twisted in discomfort like they'd stuffed themselves too full at a meal.
They seemed eager to wash their pussies clean and scrape out all the semen inside,
but I ordered them to put on their panties and clothes just like that—with the cum still dripping from their pussies—and head down to the villa's first floor.
The pussy slaves made it obvious they hated the sticky feeling down there, but...
They couldn't dream of disobeying my command, so they meekly dressed and descended the stairs to the first floor.
I followed right behind them, groping their bodies possessively as we went.
I fondled their soft asses and tits, savoring the feel, but pulled my hands away whenever we neared spots where the other girls might see.
When we reached the first-floor living room, the girls were all up, finishing tidying their bedding or taking turns in the bathroom.
A few were grabbing biscuits or bread from the kitchen and sharing them around for a simple breakfast.
We joined the group, straightened up our sleeping spots, and had a quick bite.
Once the bedding was packed away and everyone had eaten, the girls stared straight at me.
It felt like they were indirectly asking me to take the lead.
I didn't find it burdensome or annoying at all—I gladly stepped up.
And this was exactly the role the original protagonist, Joon-chang, had played in the game.
'Above all... taking charge like this makes it easy to manipulate these bitches however I want. Heh heh heh...'
But Kim Seo-hyun was glaring daggers at me.
She must've really hated that I'd groped her chest while pretending to sleep last night.
'I'll find an opening and kidnap that bitch Kim Seo-hyun soon to lock her away.'
I didn't know exactly how things would play out,
but once I started snatching the girls one by one, this place would turn into a game of Mafia—Among Us in the villa.
Everyone would start suspecting each other, wondering if the culprit was among them.
Judging by Kim Seo-hyun's eyes, though, that bitch would push to pin it on me first, guilty or not.
Of course, since I was the culprit, her suspicions would be spot on...
'...If Kim Seo-hyun starts screeching that I'm suspicious, even the girls who didn't doubt me before will start watching my every move. And if they catch the slightest slip-up, I'm done for as the culprit.'
No matter how carefully I built my alibis and moved, I was only human—bound to slip somewhere.
Having some brainless accuser yelling that I was guilty from the start would be a huge problem.
Kim Seo-hyun, nursing a grudge from last night, had become a real thorn in my side.
'For now, it's tricky since everyone's on high alert and sticking close together. In the original, the girls only kidnapped when vigilance slipped after a day or two.'
I could see why the original Joon-chang's split personality, 'Devil,' only claimed victims every 2-5 days.
The first couple days, everyone was hyper-vigilant, and with Devil stuck controlling a normal person's specs plus suppressing his good side, he faced all sorts of restrictions.
That's why he waited for their guard to drop, striking with murders or kidnappings then.
'Plus, they still haven't even thought to post night watches while sleeping. ...Heh heh heh. If I don't wanna see Kim Seo-hyun strutting around, I could just kidnap her tonight while everyone's asleep.'
Since I knew the game inside out, I had a few reliable tricks.
1. Kidnap them while everyone's asleep.
2. Slip sleeping pills into their food and grab them once they're out.
3. Suggest a drinking party with the villa's booze to lighten the mood.
These were straight from the original Joon-chang... or rather, Devil's playbook.
He'd nabbed one girl each time using those methods.
'They're all girls, so even after this happens, they haven't considered night watches yet. Or maybe it's the game world? Forces them not to prepare until it happens? ...Hmm, who knows. Works in my favor anyway.'
The girls would only feel the crisis and start watches after one vanished in the night.
I'd already clocked that weakness, but no reason to tip them off.
"Ahem. Sun's up, bedding's sorted, breakfast's done—so let's head out like we talked about last night. No cars, so we'll have to walk."
"Yeah... no choice."
The girls looked utterly defeated at the no-car reality.
They'd known it already, but facing it again hit hard emotionally.
'Don't worry. You'll see the bridges and paths blown to hell soon enough.'
I led the girls down the path we'd taken to the villa.
They'd packed their bags to escape the isolated villa, but...
I knew it'd fail anyway, so I told them to grab only essentials.
Excusing it as something we could fetch later when rescue came back with us.
Convinced, they took just wallets and vital items and followed me on foot.
We hadn't walked far when
we spotted the iron bridges we'd crossed and the cliff paths—blown apart and gone.
The bridges were obliterated beyond use, barely scraps left,
and the cliff paths had collapsed or vanished entirely from the explosives.
"...N-No way... This can't be."
"No... How could..."
To leave now meant descending sheer thousand-foot cliffs...
Even for me at superhuman level, it looked insanely risky—not that general girls stood a chance.
Especially 20-year-old girls with weak strength; it was a nightmare descent.
'I could probably force my way out solo if I tried... but no point. Heh heh heh...'
Besides, if I wanted out, I could use the safe outer passage from the fifth underground floor.
The secret passage from the underground fifth-floor control room led outside.
This was the escape route ending in the original game.
I had no need for it now,
but if I ever had to leave the isolated villa, this was the way.
Motorcycles and cars were stashed there, letting you reach the city easy.
"This is insane—we're totally trapped now..."
"Who did this...? Connected to our missing friends...?"
"Sob... No signal here either..."
The girls despaired.
I blended in, feigning a grim expression.
Lee Ji-min, who'd been watching me closely, wore a strange look... but I ignored it.
If she kept sending signals like 'I suspect you. Kidnap and lock me up first,' I'd toss her in the third-floor basement cell before Kim Seo-hyun.
"Haa... I know you're all confused and hurting, but... let's head back to the villa. Can't stay here. It's hot, and the sun's brutal."
"Yeah, you're right. Girls, back to the villa for now... Standing around like idiots isn't helping."
Kim Mi-young, the efficiency nut, backed me up and herded the girls.
