Shot. Jung-bae was struck by a bullet to the heart and collapsed to the floor. The Front Man and the guards retreated, leaving Gi-hun to mourn his fallen friend.
Out of the 15 players who had decided to confront the Front Man, only Seong Gi-hun returned, escorted by the guards into the lobby. De-ho and others sat on their beds, looking shocked, seeing only Gi-hun come back..
The second round of voting began, as the previous vote had ended in a tie. However, since then, about 30 players had been eliminated, and the results had changed. It was decided to continue the game.
The players were led into a spacious hall, where two massive dolls stood. The female doll was almost identical to the one from the first game, "Red Light, Green Light," but opposite her stood a male doll. Next to them was a two-colored traffic light, resembling one at a railway crossing, with red and green colors.
"Attention, players. Form a line in a single file."
A female voice echoed through the speakers. The players began to line up in single file. You positioned yourself behind Gi-hun—after all, he had won the Squid Game once, even though the games were different now, he was like a good luck charm. As the players lined up, guards stood on either side, ensuring order.
"Players, get ready. The next game: Dong Dong Dongdaemun. When the music plays and the green light is on, the line moves under the 'bridge' formed by the hosts' arms. When the red light turns on and the music stops, the line must stop. Those who remain under the bridge at that moment will be eliminated. Your task is to avoid being caught by the hosts for 10 minutes. Time starts now."
Gi-hun's eyes widened. He quickly scanned the dolls and the distance between them. In one go, they could catch at least four people. There were 157 players left. If the music stopped every 30 seconds, even with the pauses, at least 60 players would be eliminated. The music began to play, and the players quickly began to move, like a train, rushing to pass under the "bridge.".
