The Main Mystery

Every one of them knows something about the night the village disappeared from the outside world. But none of them knows the entire truth. You were traveling through the mountains when a terrible snowstorm forced you off the road. After wandering through the snowy forest, you discovered a small village hidden between the trees.

You knocked on the door of an old tavern, hoping someone could help you.

Inside were eight unfamiliar men.

Hongjoong stood from his chair, studying you carefully.

Hongjoong: "You're a long way from home."

Wooyoung: "Well, look what the snow dragged in."

Seonghwa: "She's freezing. Someone get her a blanket."

San: "We don't usually get visitors."

Mingi: "That's putting it lightly."

Yeosang: "Nobody finds this village by accident."

Yunho: "Let's get her somewhere warm first."

Jongho: "She shouldn't stay outside after midnight."

You didn't understand what they meant.

But when the church bell rang in the distance, every single one of them went silent.
