[한국어로 보기]
In the basement of an abandoned building in Seoul, Gi-hun, Sang-woo, Ji-young, and Jun-ho were gathered.
The surroundings were dark and damp, but their eyes were resolute.
A large screen on the wall displayed CCTV footage from various parts of the city.
"We've finally reached the last stage,"
Gi-hun said.
His face showed fatigue and tension, but also a strong determination.
Sang-woo nodded.
"Yes, hyung. Based on the information we've gathered so far,
it seems the final destination of this game is the 63 Building."
Ji-young continued with an anxious expression.
"But there's still so much uncertainty.
Are we really getting closer to the truth?"
Jun-ho stepped forward.
"According to what I've confirmed through the police internal network,
there's a massive facility under the 63 Building.
That's probably the headquarters of the Squid Game."
Gi-hun took a deep breath.
Scenes from past games flashed through his mind:
the slaughter in the 'Red Light, Green Light' game, the terror in the mirror maze, and the final moment of choice.
It seemed like everything had been preparation for this moment.
"We must end this game,"
Gi-hun said resolutely.
"There should be no more sacrifices."
Suddenly, the Front Man's face appeared on the screen.
His voice filled the room.
"Congratulations, everyone. Welcome to the final game.
The name of this game is 'The Final Choice'.
You have one hour to reach the top of the 63 Building.
There, you will make the final choice that awaits you."
As the screen went dark, tension settled on everyone's faces.
"Let's go,"
Gi-hun said.
"There's no turning back now."
They quickly left the abandoned building and ran towards the 63 Building.
The city felt like a giant maze, with hidden dangers seemingly lurking everywhere.
Suddenly, cars stopped in the middle of the road.
It seemed as if all the drivers had disappeared.
"What's this...?"
Ji-young asked in surprise.
Then, simultaneously, a voice came from the radios of all the cars.
"It's time to choose. Will you go forward, or backward?"
Gi-hun quickly assessed the situation.
"This is a trap. We must keep moving forward!"
They quickly passed through the stopped cars.
Explosions were heard from behind, but they didn't look back.
As they got closer to the 63 Building, the city transformed into increasingly bizarre forms.
Buildings seemed to move as if alive, and street signs displayed messages that seemed to mock them.
"Stay focused,"
Sang-woo said.
"This is all just an illusion. They're trying to cloud our minds."
They continued forward, relying on each other.
When they finally arrived in front of the 63 Building, they witnessed an astonishing sight.
The entire building had transformed into a giant Squid Game board.
Different games were unfolding on each floor, and countless participants were desperately climbing upwards.
"This is... unbelievable,"
Jun-ho muttered.
Gi-hun spoke with a determined expression.
"We must reach the top. All the answers will be there."
They entered the building.
On each floor, they had to face games from the past:
'Red Light, Green Light', the dalgona game, tug of war, the marble game, and the glass bridge.
Every moment was a crossroads between life and death.
They helped each other, sometimes cooperating with other participants, as they climbed floor by floor.
When they reached the final floor, they were exhausted.
But their eyes still shone with strong determination.
The top floor was like a giant circular arena.
In the center was a table with a red button on it.
The Front Man appeared before them.
He slowly removed his mask, revealing the face of Hwang In-ho.
"Congratulations,"
he said.
"You've reached the final game. Now only the final choice remains."
Gi-hun stepped forward.
"There are no more games. Now we must end everything."
In-ho smiled.
"That's right, Mr. Seong Gi-hun. But that choice is yours to make."
He pointed to the button on the table.
"If you press this button, all Squid Games will end forever.
But at the same time, all records and evidence of the games will disappear.
The world will never know of the game's existence."
Gi-hun's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?"
In-ho continued to explain.
"On the other hand, if you don't press the button, the game will continue.
But you'll be able to reveal the existence of this game to the world with all the evidence.
The choice is yours."
Everyone was shocked.
This was the true 'final choice'.
"What should we do?"
Ji-young asked in a trembling voice.
Sang-woo said,
"The reason we came this far was to reveal the truth. But..."
Jun-ho interjected.
"But if this game continues, more people will die."
Gi-hun fell into deep contemplation.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind:
the people who died in the game, those who survived, and those who might participate in this game in the future...
"Time is running out,"
In-ho said.
"Choose."
Gi-hun slowly reached for the button.
His hand was trembling.
"Wait!"
Sang-woo shouted.
"Is this really the best choice?"
Ji-young nodded.
"That's right. Have we really considered everything?"
Jun-ho continued.
"Ending the game is important, but so is revealing the truth."
Gi-hun stopped his hand.
He looked at his companions and could read the determination in their eyes.
"You're right,"
Gi-hun said to In-ho.
"The choice is ours. But it's not a choice we make alone, but together."
He nodded to his companions, and they responded in kind.
"This is our choice,"
Gi-hun said.
"We will end this game. But at the same time, we will reveal the truth to the world. We can't give up on either."
A look of surprise flashed across In-ho's face.
"But that's impossible. You..."
Gi-hun cut him off.
"Impossible? We've already done the impossible. The fact that we've survived this game this far is a miracle."
He reached for the button but didn't press it.
Instead, he removed the button from the table.
"You say this button controls everything? Then we'll take it.
We'll end the game ourselves, and at the same time, reveal the truth to the world."
In-ho's face hardened.
"You don't understand the scale of this game.
This isn't just a simple survival game. This is..."
Suddenly, the entire building began to shake.
Alarms sounded, and explosions were heard from all directions.
"What's happening?"
Ji-young shouted.
Jun-ho pointed out the window.
"Look at that!"
The entire Seoul visible from the window was changing.
Buildings were collapsing, streets were splitting.
But it wasn't destruction.
It was as if a giant set was being dismantled.
"What is this...?"
Sang-woo muttered.
In-ho sighed.
"Now everything is over.
Because of your choice, the true nature of the game has been revealed."
Gi-hun glared at In-ho.
"What do you mean?"
"All of this, the entire Seoul, was one giant game arena,"
In-ho explained.
"We completely blurred the boundary between reality and game.
Everything you experienced, even this building, was part of the game."
Gi-hun and his companions were shocked.
Before their eyes, the city was being dismantled, revealing giant machinery and screens underneath.
"Then everything we knew was... a lie?"
Sang-woo asked in a trembling voice.
In-ho shook his head.
"No, it wasn't a lie. Your experiences, emotions, choices...
they were all real. We just provided the stage for them."
Suddenly, the building shook violently.
Cracks began to spread across the floor.
"We need to get out of here!"
Ji-young shouted.
Gi-hun quickly assessed the situation.
"Everyone this way! We need to take the elevator!"
They all ran to the elevator, including In-ho.
As the doors closed, the upper part of the building began to collapse.
As the elevator descended rapidly, Gi-hun still held the button in his hand.
"What should we do now?" he asked.
In-ho took a deep breath.
"That button is now meaningless. The game is already over.
But because of your choice, a new beginning has opened up."
"What do you mean?"
Jun-ho asked.
"You've realized the essence of the game.
Beyond the boundary between reality and game,
you've understood the true meaning of choice.
Now, a greater responsibility falls on you."
The elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened.
Before them stretched a completely changed world.
A landscape where virtual and reality seemed mixed, and in the distance, countless people were approaching.
"Who are those people?"
Ji-young asked.
In-ho answered.
"The game participants, operators, and the audience who watched all of this. Now they too will stand at the same crossroads of choice as you."
Gi-hun took a deep breath.
Determination settled in his eyes.
"Then we have something we must do."
"What will you do?"
In-ho asked.
Gi-hun answered.
"We will reveal the truth of this game to the world.
But at the same time, we will share the lessons we've learned.
The importance of choice, the value of humanity, and
how strong we can become when we work together..."
Sang-woo, Ji-young, and Jun-ho nodded.
The same determination was set in their eyes.
"Well,"
Gi-hun said.
"Shall we start the real game now? The game of changing the world."
They moved forward together.
They didn't know what challenges lay ahead, but they had now become a true 'team' in every sense of the word.
In the distance, the sunlight of a new day began to shine.
The Squid Game had ended, but their true journey was just beginning.
Thus ends Part 6, "The Final Game", bringing the curtain down on Squid Game Season 2.
In a world where the boundary between reality and game has collapsed,
the protagonists now begin a new journey, carrying greater challenges and responsibilities.
