ALL THE PLAYERS had been escorted out into the corridor. The white room had been a recurring place, although something was different this time. Seventeen mannequins were presented before them, donning pink vests with numbers that ranges from 1 to 17.
Seong Gi-hun examined each of the mannequins, trying to figure out what is the next game. Cho Sang-woo was looking around the players, trying to find a certain woman he suspected knew the next game. Gi-hun noticed that Lisa was nowhere in sight, he looked around, and when he confirmed that Lisa was gone, he made his way over to the square masked guard.
"Sir, player 457 is missing." He informed quietly so the other players won't heard him. The players was too busy talking to each others to noticed that Gi-hun was talking to the square guard. The guard looked at him blankly before his eyes wandered at every players, trying to spot a certain woman. Once he didn't saw her, his heart dropped and his blank expression turned to worry, though no one could see it since he wore the stupid black mask.
He immediately stormed off the white room and practically ran towards the VIPs' watch room where Front man should be in.
"Welcome, players, to the fifth game. Before we begin, please make your way down the steps and choose one of the mannequins that you see presented before you." The PA woman announced.
Either the last or first numbers are closer to the unpredictable. Player number 244 was the first one to walked to the mannequins and chose a number.
"It was on the sixth day that God created the first man on earth. And now, i'll go back to that day God made us sinless and innocent." Player 244 said quietly as he grabbed the pink vest with number 6.
Another player with number 151 walked towards the mannequin and chose number 7. "Okay...lucky number, seven." He said as he grabbed the pink vest. Everyone started running to choose the middle numbers.
....
Meanwhile, Front man was fuming in anger, "What do you think you're doing?!" He shouted furiously at the square masked guard in front of him as they stood still like a statue. "How can you just let her out of your sight?!"
"She went to the bathroom, sir." The square masked guard responded with his robotic voice.
"Bathroom...bathroom..." Front man repeated quietly as he walked around the room uneasily. "Huh? What are you waiting for? FIND HER!" His booming voice echoed the room, and the guards immediately started running to the bathroom.
They burst opened the door, and all of the guards were holding a guns and pointed it at everywhere. All of them checked every inches of the bathroom though no one realize the ceiling in one of the bathrooms was slightly opened.
....
A while ago, Lisa excused herself to go to the bathroom before the game begin. She eventually ended up in the front man's room by crawling through the ceiling from the bathroom.
In the V.I.Ps suite, a different guards serve than the usual reddish pink guards, in here all of them wore a black suits with a black masks. Surprisingly, there's also a few women who looked to be in their 40s, wearing a classic black dress showing that they're a waitresses.
'There's a women here? Their appearance suited for waitress. But who was they serving for?' Lisa thought, hiding herself so no one could see her.
As those servants were going to serve the V.I.Ps with wines, one of them got caught by none other than Lisa as she pointed her gun at the servant.
"Your shift is over." She said coldly.
After knocking out the servant, she changed her clothes and put the mask on, she grabbed the phone - where she found it in the dress's pocket - to record everything for blackmail and put it inside her dress's pocket.
"I need to get to the end of this, blackmail them and they should release me from this madness." She said quietly as she got ready to start her mission.
...
The Front man was looking at the screen in his monitor when the square guard whispered to him, "We are still looking for her, we also found a knocked out naked waitress." The Front man stayed silent, he glanced at the V.I.Ps who were chilling each on the couch in front of the big screen.
"Make sure to catch her. I want no harm on her, not even a single scratch." The Front man threatened.
'As if i'm going to let that happen to her.' The square guard thought, before nodding and went out, leaving another square guard beside the Front man.
"So how are your scores so far? Bet on any winners?" The lion golden mask V.I.P asked as he took a glass of wine from Lisa.
"No. For some reason, i keep picking losers." The tiger golden mask V.I.P said bitterly. "Now is your chance to catch up. The serious betting starts in this round." The buffalo V.I.P said as he looked at the screen of all players.
Lisa's sharp eyes traveled around the room, analysing the V.I.Ps, she noticed one V.I.P with the eagle golden mask staring at her.
"And how much are you gonna bet?" The deer golden mask V.I.P asked, the tiger V.I.P thought for a second. "I'm doubling my stakes on this round." The lion golden mask V.I.P said determined, smirking as he drank his wine.
"Are you sure about that? You don't even know what game it's gonna be." The buffalo V.I.P asked, unsure about his choice.
Lisa noticed the tiger golden mask V.I.P was waving at him to come closer, making him walked towards the V.I.P. "It doesn't matter what game it is, i trust my gut." The lion V.I.P smirked confidently.
The tiger golden mask V.I.P gestured Lisa to get close to him as he took the wine slowly keeping eye contact with her, Lisa glared at him coldly before walked away.
"God damn it! Just tell us about the next game. How long are you gonna string us along like that." The tiger golden mask complained angrily.
"Gentlemen, let me introduce the next game." The Front man gestured the square guard beside him to show the V.I.Ps the mini game modele.
"What's that thing?" The V.I.P asked curiously, not knowing what kind of game the players are going to play.
"Looks like a bridge of some sort, i like the looks of it." The deer V.I.P said impressed at the modele of the game. "What the hell is that?" The tiger golden mask V.I.P asked quietly.
"Ooh, this is exciting. Gentlemen, this may be the deciding moment." The lion V.I.P said excitedly. "There are plenty of other variables but i think the order in which they compete matters most." The buffalo V.I.P said confidently about his theory of the game.
"Who are you betting on this time?" The deer golden mask V.I.P asked as he looked at the screen. "069." The tiger golden mask V.I.P answered simply.
"What's your reason?" The deer V.I.P asked curiously.
"Well, if i can't do 069, i'll try 096." The tiger V.I.P replied, making the other V.I.Ps laughed so hard.
"Good luck with that." The lion golden mask V.I.P said laughing. "How do you know this guy?" The buffalo V.I.P asked the lion V.I.P about his acquaintance with the tiger V.I.P.
"I didn’t bring him, i thought you brought him." The lion V.I.P said making the others laughed. "Me? No." The buffalo V.I.P said laughing.
The V.I.Ps were joking and laughing while Lisa was watching them, and heard everything they said. Unbeknownst to her, the tiger golden mask were keeping an eye on her.
