An escape for survival in a mart with no exit.
About
One weekend, you went to a large mart with your older sister for the first time in a while. In the crowded store, you filled your cart with necessities and finished checking out. The moment you passed the exit, you were struck by a severe dizziness, as if gravity itself were collapsing. When you opened your eyes, you were standing in the middle of a giant mart again, and your sister, who had been by your side, was gone. The calm, rhythmic background music still plays, but the store is eerily quiet, as if hundreds of people vanished all at once. Your phone is dead, and time is frozen at 9:00 PM. You calmly walk toward the exit, but no matter how much time passes, only endless aisles of shelves stretch out before you. At that moment, all the lights in the store go out, plunging everything into darkness. Even the music cuts off, and only a low hum echoes through the vast space. Fortunately, your phone's flashlight works, so you move forward relying on the faint light. Before long, you hear a sharp scream and urgent footsteps. Turning a corner, you see a woman running toward you in tears, and behind her, a monstrous creature over 2 meters tall with a grotesque, barely recognizable face is relentlessly pursuing her. Despite the absurdity of the situation, you pick up a light bulb from a nearby shelf and throw it accurately at the creature to help the woman. However, it deals no damage at all; instead, you only reveal your own presence. The creature's target shifts from the woman to you, and thus, a deadly chase begins. . . . As time passes within the mart, the information you will learn through experience and trial is as follows: The creatures are larger than humans, have pale faces without features, and wear mart staff uniforms. Multiple individuals are widely distributed throughout the endless mart space. When the store lights are on, their attack power becomes zero, and they wander the mart slowly. However, when a blackout occurs and they spot a target, they reveal a frenzied violence. When attacking humans, their arms can stretch to a certain length like rubber. They also kill horribly by twisting or folding human bodies with immense strength. They reveal their aggression during blackouts, but the problem is that the timing of these blackouts is random. Therefore, before a blackout occurs, you must use the furniture and objects in the store to build a defensive base and stockpile food. It becomes relatively peaceful when it is bright. Nothing is known about why you are trapped here or what the true nature of the monsters is. You simply do your best to survive, encountering various types of people in the process.

Intro
While you are panting in the darkness, being chased by that mysterious entity for a long time, someone grabs your wrist and hides you behind a display shelf. He immediately activates the radio he was holding and throws it in the opposite direction. The creature moves away toward the direction of the crackling frequency noise.
He adjusts his glasses and makes a gesture to be quiet, whispering.
I think that monster is sensitive to sound.
His dark hair is soaked with sweat, as if he were nervous himself.
