Theatrical Regression Life

Episode 484 Kwon

Yeon-hee’s way of thinking was simple, so she had an easy life, but she also had a knack for it. He muttered ‘comrade’ in such a sorrowful voice, and it was not difficult to guess that he had a sad past.

It’s a bit awkward to ask about that sad situation when you’re just meeting for the first time. Yeonhee Kwon came to a conclusion on her own.

‘…It looks like the survivors in this area were busy fighting among themselves.’

What I understood right away was that Kwon Yeon-hee also still vividly remembers the shock she felt when she first encountered the secret world.

That miserable feeling when everything in front of you is suddenly torn apart and you are trapped in a strange space that seems familiar but is not familiar at all.

My ears are ringing, as if the whole world is shouting at me to die, and I realize that no one will help me.

It’s already hard to breathe and I’m dying, but the decent people I know are swinging swords at each other, blood is splattered everywhere, murderous intent and malice are overflowing… I don’t know when and where a

monster will pop out or what traps are hidden. It was a dangerous world.

‘We too would have died if it weren’t for the manager. When the spider’s legs first popped out, I’m sure at least one person was already dead… No, I’m sure many people died when they ran away from that bastard. In that situation, it was a miracle that I left the company without a single argument.’

You are in a situation where your life is being threatened without even knowing what is going on. In that chaos, it was natural that if everyone did not come together, conflict would break out.

Seeing Kwon Yeon-hee’s awkward appearance, the man looked at her and said.

“So, I guess Kwon Yeon-hee and her group are on good terms with each other.”

I was just amazed and envious, but there wasn’t much of a hint of sarcasm.

Kwon Yeon-hee, who was anxious as to whether I had incited conflict in a foreign place again without notice, inwardly sighed in relief. She answered, thinking of the survivors she would probably meet again in the park.

“Yes, they are all good people.”

“He’s kind… I see.”

Dr. Seo In-young, who was muttering as if she wanted to refute something in response to Kwon Yeon-hee’s words, nodded. He also seemed to have no intention of calming the mood by criticizing the words of Kwon Yeon-hee, who was meeting him for the first time.

‘Looking at things like this, he definitely seems like a cooperative person…?’

Kwon Yeon-hee rolled her eyes and observed the other person.

No matter how simple Kwon Yeon-hee’s mindset was, she still had a sense of crisis. As a midge with no combat power, the odds of her winning a fight against an adult man were low. Even if there are a few skills learned from our combat personnel, there is a difference in basic strength.

‘But it seems like they’re wary of me too… Even though they’re acting bad, they at least seem to have the luxury of being polite. I don’t know if he has a weapon or not, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking me. Besides, it seems like I want to talk to you as well.’

I wasn’t completely relieved, but it didn’t look like they were going to attack me right away, so it was okay.

Kwon Yeon-hee smiled awkwardly and continued. I felt like I knew what Seo In-young wanted to refute.

“Actually, there were many dangerous situations. Since many people gather together, some fights are bound to occur. “It is true that our group is kind, but… I think we were lucky in many ways.”

“That alone would have been difficult… I guess there would have been someone to mediate?”

“Oh, that’s right. The manager of the same company took the center stage. Maybe it’s because I have experience in the underworld, but the Jjambap was different. “If you hurt us instead of hurting us…”

“I’m sure it would have created a good atmosphere.” People naturally become more sensitive when they are sick, but if I had someone who could handle the pain for me, I would have been much more mentally stable.”

Dr. Seo In-young, who was mumbling as if she was talking to herself, was startled and shook her head.

“Oh, no, that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing that the manager got hurt…! I just thought it was like that. No, I’m not saying that getting hurt is part of the job, ah… no…”

“Calm down. “I don’t think you said it with bad intentions…!”

“sorry. That’s just ah…”

The doctor, whose face was bright red, spoke gibberish.

“I’m really sorry. To be honest, I did it because I was jealous. When I heard that there was someone who could lead people in that way, it was too much of a comparison to my situation…” “It’s

really, really okay, so calm down. “Your face is really red.”

“It’s big.”

Kwon Yeon-hee thought to herself as she watched him save face now.

‘…He doesn’t seem like a bad person after all.’

It would be true that he is a crazy person if you see him wandering around in the secret world.

“Are you calm?”

“Yes, thank you. Anyway… you’re lucky. “The atmosphere must have been really nice.”

“that’s right. That’s right…”

As the other person said, we were truly in a peaceful situation.

‘We didn’t fight much.’

Although they fought occasionally, they never deviated from the purpose of exchanging opinions, and most of them were very cooperative, making it easy to divide work.

On the contrary, it seems that they were so intimidated by Lee Jae-heon’s self-indulgence in taking the initiative and were busy trying to stop him. It seemed as if I could hear the voices of survivors shouting, ‘Chief!’

Other survivors also became more active because they thought that if Lee Jae-heon was left alone, he would die someday.

‘Even if that wasn’t the case, everyone had a strong spirit and tried to do their part.’

It was the same for Kwon Yeon-hee.

“….”

“….”

After a brief pause in conversation, Dr. Seo In-young spoke first.

“…I think we guessed it…but the atmosphere wasn’t very good.”

“Oh yes.”

“There were so many people at my workplace with bad personalities that when I first came to this world, most of them… well, they ended up fighting with each other and falling out.”

“Ah…”

Kwon Yeon-hee realized that the doctor’s words ‘they fell apart’ meant ‘they killed each other.’

Even the normally gentle people in Kwon Yeon-hee’s marketing department went on a rampage with knives as soon as they entered the secret world. It would have been incredible if they had been colleagues who would say that she had a bad personality.

“I was able to maintain my senses, but it seems other people were not. There was no such mess… so I secretly ran away. After that, I met four groups of survivors, but they all had conflicts. “I… I sneaked out every time, and it was embarrassing, but… I kept running away.”

“What’s so shameful about that? We’re all just trying to make a living.”

“Thank you so much. Anyway, I think I’m still alive thanks to you. To be honest, I don’t know what happened to the survivors I met or if there are any other survivors. “I didn’t know there were other survivors outside of this area.”

“I’ve only heard about it, but this is the first time I’ve seen survivors in another area.”

Maybe it was because we were busy living among ourselves, but if we think about it, the same thing would have happened in other areas as well. This means that we were not the only survivors of the underworld.

‘…It was said that most people who were eaten in the early stages when they couldn’t come to their senses ended up dying.’

As I was thinking about that, a phone call came.

“uh…!”

“How can I make a phone call…?”

“Now wait a minute!”

Yeonhee Kwon urgently answered the phone.

“Detective Tongue?”

―Yes, Yeonhee Kwon. Are you safe?

“Yes yes yes. I’m fine. “The house is well built, and there aren’t many monsters nearby.”

-Fortunately, the. Yeonhee Kwon was the only one who had gone far away, and other people were also worried about her being alone. How can it hold up?

“Yes, it’s really okay. And I’m not alone now…!”

―…I’m not alone.

Hong Gyeong-jun’s voice subsided slightly. Just as Kwon Yeon-hee was beginning to question him, Hong Gyeong-jun spoke again.

-Are you a person or a monster? Or an object…

“What on earth are you looking at me for? “Of course it’s a person!”

-Excuse me. I thought I might be alleviating my loneliness by sitting down with a doll.

“Do I have that kind of image…?”

―If people are pushed to the edge, they can’t do anything.

“That’s true, but it’s a little unfair. “Other people won’t worry about that.”

―No, Mr. Noh Yeon-seok, I have similar concerns.

“I will take this as a compliment that our souls are pure.”

-Good posture.

Hong Gyeong-jun asked next.

―So, is there another survivor next to you now? There is no way Kwon Yeon-hee could have talked to a corpse, so she must be a survivor who can communicate…

“Are you kidding me?”

―Then are you also listening to the content of the current phone call?

Kwon Yeon-hee raised her head and saw Dr. Seo In-young.

The person on the other end, although completely shocked and embarrassed by the fact that phone calls were possible in the other world, did not interrupt the conversation between Kwon Yeon-hee and Hong Gyeong-jun. He was truly the same person inside and out.

“Yes, probably. “I think you’re listening.”

“I’m sorry.”

―It’s okay if you don’t feel sorry. It seems like the phone calls can be heard exceptionally well in the other world. We need to meet you face-to-face and say hello, but please understand that due to the circumstances, this will be replaced by phone calls.

“Yes eh. “My name is Seo In-young, and I’m a doctor…”

Hong Gyeong-jun’s stiff tone of voice made him look very uncomfortable. Is it because the tone is too angular?

―Yes, nice to meet you. My name is Detective Hong Gyeong-jun. When you say you are a doctor, what field are you in?

“Ah, it may not be enough, but I am currently working as an emergency medicine specialist. “I mainly work in the emergency room, so I can treat most injuries easily.”

Seo In-young’s voice was straight and clear when talking about her abilities as a doctor.

Suddenly, that appearance reminded Kwon Yeon-hee of Ha Seong-yoon. Mr. Heo Yeo-Mulgan, who took great pride in being a doctor.

‘…Are all doctors like that?’

Hong Gyeong-jun may have had similar thoughts, but his response was a little slow.

-…okay. Nice to meet you again. Kwon Yeon-hee was worried about being left alone, but I think she would be very relieved if the doctor helped her.

“I… I’m not particularly good at putting in effort, so I’m not sure if it will help.”

-Seeing that you have survived so far, I think you can be of great help.

Hong Gyeong-jun, who concluded with a firm voice as if he was going to do it, then continued speaking in his characteristic emotionless tone.

―I didn’t call you with any special purpose, I just called you to say hello. I’m glad you haven’t had any trouble.

“yes yes. But the detective is still at school, then…?”

-yes. I thought there would be no problem on my own, so I sent Kim Ki-jeong and Do-yoon Han to the park, and police officer Kim Yeon-woo will be arriving soon to replace them. It seems like the school monsters have become a lot gentler since I last killed the art teacher’s monster, so you don’t have to worry about me.

Seo In-young stiffened her shoulders in shock at Hong Gyeong-jun’s words.

“Art teacher….”

“Why are you doing that?”

When Kwon Yeon-hee asked, Dr. Seo In-young, whose face turned blue for some reason, shook her head.

“Oh no. sorry. Recently, I saw someone who had a bad relationship with an art teacher, so stop…”

“How did such an incident happen?”

“That’s right.”

“The world is really a mess these days. “Those who are true teachers.”

Kwon Yeon-hee, who knew that Lee Jae-heon was the one who suffered a lot from art teacher Seong Dae-young, also became uncomfortable. Kwon Yeon-hee, who was frowning with a bad attitude, asked Hong Gyeong-jun.

“Oh right. What about the manager? “Other students and babies…”

―…I think we need more time as we haven’t fully grasped the situation yet. Once we have certain news, we will deliver it to you.

“Yes, you must be tired, but thank you.”

-No, not much to say.

Hong Gyeong-jun, who was leaning against the sink in the bathroom at Eonhak High School, gave his final greeting.

“Kwon Yeon-hee, please be careful.”

―Yes, your cell phone battery may be low, so you can turn it off first.

“Then please excuse me.”

Pop.

Hong Gyeong-jun stared at the cell phone screen that had lost contact.

“….”

He muttered softly.

“…There is a new survivor.”

To be honest, I thought it wouldn’t happen.

‘Then how can we interpret the regression phenomenon we experience?’

It has been a question for a long time.

If Lee Jae-heon’s words are true, and considering the existence of Gyeonggi-do member Seo In-young, there must be survivors all over the country. So, do survivors in other regions, not just us, experience regression?

If that had been the case, it would probably not have been the case because the flag bearer would have lasted longer than Jae-heon Lee said. This meant that regressions and other things were only happening to our survivor team centered around Lee Jae-heon.

“…Only some survivors experience regression….”

Hong Gyeong-jun muttered softly.

“Then maybe there’s a reason why we’re the only ones in the spotlight.”

Things like settings that only the actors on stage experience. Only the characters described on the pages that appear within the cartoon’s cuts are eligible for that standard.

Jaeheon Lee and Inho Jeong said that there is a ‘main character’ in this world.

“….”

Hong Gyeong-jun laughed.

“I can’t think of anything.”

As I experienced something that felt like something out of a novel, I felt like I was thinking something like this.

However, if only some of the protagonist and his recognized colleagues or companions have a miraculous experience such as regression. If Hong Gyeong-jun’s foolish thoughts are true….

“….”

Is there any being other than God who would be worthy of watching repeated deaths?

Such an omnipotent and cruel being.

“…Where this time….”

Hong Gyeong-jun erased the clumsy script from his mind as he calculated and found the person to call next. He had to ensure the safety of the survivors as much as possible before the precious cell phone battery ran out.

I felt like such long-winded delusions about gods and plays did not suit me.
