30 min have passed and all of them is seated in their seat.
Dokja grabbed the remote and press play in it.

「 Dokkaebi. The first time he appeared, someone said so. 」
(Korean goblin. Check out the link for more information.)
I didn’t know why but that sentence suddenly popped up in my head.
The stopped subway train, the dark room... These details gave me a sense of deja vu.
"Deja Vu??"
Lee hyunsung ask confusedly.
The subway had stopped before, but it was rare. Even so, why? I remembered the familiar words from a novel... but it was ridiculous. Wasn’t it impossible?
"Are you comparing our world in a novel, ahjussi?"
Lee Jihye said teasingly but Kim Dokja didn't answer and only look at the screen.
This made the group to look at him worriedly.
At this moment, the door of car 3807 opened wide, and the electricity returned.
Yoo Sangah muttered by my side, “...Dokkaebi?”
"You are really smart, Yoo Sangah-sshi!
Hewoon compliment her and patted her back as Lee Jihye nodded.
My head was ringing. I trembled uneasily as the novel I knew and the reality before me overlapped.
「With two small horns and wearing a small straw mat, the strange and fluffy creature was floating in the air. 」
「 It was too strange to call it a fairy, too evil to call it an angel, and too tranquil to call it a demon. 」
「Thus, it was called a ‘dokkkaebi. 」
And I already knew the first thing the dokkaebi would say.
「&아#@!&아#@! ......」
[&아#@!&아#@!.......]
Fiction and reality overlapped precisely.
"What does this mean...?"
Lee Jihye ask suspiciously at Kim Dokja who only stayed silent.
He look at his face and noticed that his expression change into a cold one.
This made her uneasiness grew bigger and bigger.
“What is this?”
“Augmented reality?”
Amidst the chattering people, I was thrown into another world alone. This was unmistakably a dokkaebi—the very dokkaebi that opened the door to tragedy for thousands of lives in Ways of Survival.
"That novel again...."
Yoo Sangah hands tremble, as if realizing my implications.
...It was Yoo Sangah’s voice that broke me out of my thoughts. “It sounds vaguely like Spanish. Should I talk to it?”
I was a bit taken aback and asked, “...Do you know what that is? Will you ask it for money?”
“No but...”
It was at this time that I heard the correct pronunciation of Korean. [Ah. Ah. Does this sound good? Ah, I had a hard time because the Korean patch didn’t work. Everyone, can you hear my words?]
