Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 245

Episode 245

Lee Jae-heon didn’t remember all of the rules of this school, but he did memorize them to some extent. Even if I didn’t intend to, as I became immersed in the story of the main character struggling to survive, I started to vaguely remember it.

And one of the rules was this.

[Rule 9. Do not clink.]

At first glance, it seems like a simple exhortation, but it is not. Unless it is a ‘classroom without rules’, there are a total of 9 rules, one of which is written in each classroom. If you do not follow these rules within the school, you will be subject to corresponding disadvantages. The above phrase was also a rule that was pondered over throughout the school episode.

Rule number 9. Don’t ding. All spaces within the school, including classrooms, are once recognized and once entered, there is no way back out. When a certain period of time passes or certain conditions are met, one is trapped in one space and becomes a plaster statue. If the person waiting outside allows you to come out, you can come and go again, but if there is no one waiting for you, you are trapped inside and become a 100% monster.

‘Then all the intact survivors inside it will be destroyed.’

It’s not just this. The plaster monster created in this way can sometimes be in one space under the influence of Rule 9, or it can wander around the hallway like the one the search team just encountered. This means that unlike the student monsters that only roam around in certain areas, this is a guy that can move around freely.

So let’s think about it.

‘What if the reason the Park siblings couldn’t come to the first floor was because, unlike in the novel, they moved with their classmates, and when they came down like that, they couldn’t properly understand the school rules, so they ended up being left out and barely made it into the auditorium.’

On the second floor, where the auditorium is located, there is a plaster monster wandering the hallways. Even if there were students waiting outside the auditorium, they would have spotted the monster and jumped out, and even if they hadn’t, they would have been killed by the monster. Then, students who enter the auditorium have no way to get out. Because the exit and entrance of the auditorium are the same.

So, are the survivors inside the auditorium really okay? That would be great, but looking at the blood leading from the hallway to the auditorium, at least one person was already dead. If a certain amount of time had passed or certain conditions had been met, even living survivors would have become plaster monsters. Even if the search team, including Lee Jae-heon, came belatedly, there was no way the students inside would be okay.

“…I’ve almost reached the end. “Let’s go.”

“Hurry before I look back…!”

Now, let’s return to the situation of the search team.

“I saw it! I saw that. “It’s coming!”

“Go in quickly. “We’ll stop it from the front!”

“Don’t get too close!”

For reference, the plaster monster is considered the strongest in the school.

The monster, which must have already killed at least one person, discovered the presence of the search team and ran like crazy, its speed no different from flying. Hong Gyeong-jun and Yoon Gar-ram, who did not know that the monster could be this fast, gritted their teeth and confronted the monster. They had to quickly enter the auditorium and lock the door from the inside.

But Jaeheon Lee knocked on the auditorium door and shouted.

“Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon! Are you there?! Answer me!”

“What are you doing if you’re not going in?”

“…Mr. Jeong….”

There is no answer.

‘If there’s no one there, there’s a chance I can survive.’

It would be fortunate if there was no one at all, but there is a high probability that there would be a monster inside.

The hallway on the second floor is heavily guarded by plaster monsters, and Yoon Garam and Hong Kyungjun alone won’t be able to handle it. You can temporarily avoid it by hiding in the bathroom or under a chair, but no one can stay in the second floor hallway and wait for someone who goes inside. Even if a new search team is called in by phone, how many minutes can our search team survive inside the auditorium?

The bat swung by Garam Yoon cracked! The eyes of the monster that hit his head met Lee Jae-heon’s eyes.

“…Aissi.”

The eyes of someone who is neither dead nor alive, shedding bloody tears.

As Jaeheon Lee opened the heavy door and quickly entered the auditorium, Gyeongjun Hong, Sungyoon Ha, and Garam Yoon followed him in. The auditorium door slammed shut with the sound of something being torn apart. It was fortunate that there was a device that could be easily locked from the inside.

bang! bang! bang…!

“….”

It was only then that the survivors gasped as they heard the monster gradually retreating after knocking on the auditorium several times.

“…Hehehehe….”

“Well…there is such a crazy school.”

“…This really almost killed me…”

Ha Seong-yoon, who was muttering softly, blinked slowly in the dark auditorium. Ha Seong-yoon looked into the auditorium, where he could not see an inch in front of him, with eyes as blue as glass, and slowly straightened his back.

He muttered blankly wondering what he was seeing.

“…this.”

Lee Jae-heon seemed to know roughly what Ha Seong-yoon saw.

“We can’t go out again now, right…?”

“I want to ask you if you’re crazy, but… what’s going on?”

“We ended up in the tiger’s den.”

He muttered in despair.

“…it’s a tiger’s den in the back….”

Ttogak, ttogak, ttogak.

The sound of strangely elastic footsteps gradually gets closer.

“evil! “The snow…”

“Who lit the fire…?”

Sweet.

Jaeheon Lee, who was not surprised by the sudden brightening of the auditorium, looked around.

He saw corpses strewn on the floor. The body of Park Da-young, with one broken, torn, and crushed piece of meat and her legs stained pale white. She had dark handprints, as if she had been strangled. Lee Jae-heon, who calmly checked all of this, was able to see who turned on the light.

“…Crazy….”

It was Park Da-hoon with smooth white skin.

“…sister.”

“….”

“I’m scared.”

Creak.

It sounds like an unoiled wooden doll moving. Park Da-hoon, who had become a plaster monster, slowly approached the search team with awkward steps. Bloody tears were flowing from both eyes.

“scared.”

Lee Jae-heon quietly lifted the crowbar.

“…Is there storage within the auditorium? “There should be at least one supply room.”

“…there is.”

“Get ready to run.”

Jaeheon Lee slowly pushed the search team back and whispered.

“Hong Gyeong-jun.”

“…Please don’t do anything weird.”

“Please open the auditorium door just once.”

“….”

“Quickly.”

At those words, Hong Gyeong-jun, who was closest to the door, grabbed the handle of the auditorium door and applied force, but the door did not rattle as if it were a decoration. This meant that there was no one waiting outside and the entrance and exit were in the same space, so there was no way out.

“I somehow felt dirty…”

“…I wondered why you called the kids from outside instead of entering the auditorium. Did you have any idea about this situation?”

“Even though it’s not Eunhak High School, I’ve visited the school a couple of times in the past. “We had similar rules.”

“Rules?”

“It’s probably written in every classroom. If you don’t follow it, you will be at a disadvantage…”

Lee Jae-heon said, taking a deep breath.

“That’s not what’s important right now.”

“…Jaeheon Lee.”

“Dahun is now in the same state as that monster outside. It’s very fast and strong. From the looks of it, both the detective and the boss were injured just in that brief confrontation…” “

Can we just go to the supply room? “Let’s go together.”

“If you become a plaster monster like that, you are neither dead nor alive. The brain maintains the survivor’s ego, but the body doesn’t keep up. “They’re trying to kill people.”

“….”

“…there is no way to turn it back.”

At those words, the search team’s gaze landed on the face of Park Da-hoon, the plaster monster. Unlike other body parts, the eyes, which were dripping with bloody tears, had a strange liveliness.

Park Da-hoon muttered.

“Sister….”

“….”

“I’m scared. “I’m scared, I’m scared.”

“….”

“Sister.”

Park Da-hoon muttered continuously as he approached little by little.

“…Uncle is coming.”

“Are you hurt? I can’t do it. “Is there any medicine in the nurse’s office?”

“No, no, no….”

“Please no. Park Da-young, no.”

“People will come. “Let’s wait. It’s okay.”

“…Park Dayoung, please.”

“please.”

Fighting.

The sound of bloody tears falling on the floor was particularly loud.

“There must be a way.”

“…Dahun.”

“I believe there is a way to bring you back, Park Da-young….”

“Park Da-hoon.”

“No, please no. “I won’t do it.”

“….”

“Why are you making me a murderer? “Don’t leave me behind…”

His mouth, as hard as plaster, didn’t move at all, but the words that came out of it were diverse. Lee Jae-heon knew that he was repeating the words he had spoken before becoming a plaster monster. It is the cry of a kind of plaster monster.

Lee Jae-heon picked up his cell phone with one hand and made a call to the person who had already set the speed dial number to 1. The call was addressed to Jeong In-ho, who must be staring at his cell phone right now. Without looking further, he set it to speakerphone mode so he could hear the other person clearly.

“I.”

“…get ready.”

“what.”

“As soon as you enter the warehouse, lock the door.”

“How…”

“I won’t be able to buy everything anyway.”

“Did you have to?”

At that time, the short call connection tone was cut off and a familiar voice was heard.

-…Boss?

“….”

– Manager? Are you okay?

There was a very shallow and strange silence.

“….”

“….”

?….

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.

“What am I doing?”

“…ruler.”

“What should I have done?”

The monster tilted its head and lunged at them.

“What should I have done…!!”

At the same time as he said that, Jaeheon Lee shouted.

“now!”

The search team all rushed towards the warehouse, and the plaster monster was much faster than the search team. Every time the monster ran, the sound of the wooden planks on the floor clenching loudly echoed throughout the auditorium. I couldn’t even tell if the pounding sound was the monster’s footsteps or the sound of my heart.

When Yoon Garam quickly opened the door to the warehouse and Ha Seongyoon and Hong Gyeongjun went inside one by one.

“…Ugh!”

Jaeheon Lee lost his footing.

“Jaeheon Lee!”

“Close the door… you idiots!”

Quang!

“Ugh.”

Lee Jae-heon used the recoil of his body to forcefully close the warehouse door, and due to the inertia of running, his body slammed into the door. Just before I fell, I turned forward and avoided being hit face-first into the door, but instead my back hit me so hard that the impact caused blood to flow from the wound on my abdomen.

The plaster monster grabbed Lee Jae-heon’s neck hard and pinned him against the door once again.

Quack!

“evil…!”

Barely suppressing his moans, the plaster monster Park Da-hoon muttered once again.

“The uncle will come.”

“Cough huh.”

“It’s okay, let’s wait.”

“…Ugh…!”

“Park Dayoung, please. no.”

A young student shedding bloody tears came into Lee Jae-heon’s field of vision.

I knew that I was going to die from the moment I entered the auditorium. So what should Lee Jae-heon do now? Why did I call the main character? Lee Jae-heon opened his mouth after pushing away the hand of the plaster monster that was strangling him with ridiculously strong force as much as possible.

“2nd floor auditorium…! “There’s a monster…!”

“It’s going to be okay.”

“Inside car… Ugh, warehouse survivor….”

No more words came out.

“no.”

“….”

“Please.”

“…Da hun….”

“No, please.”

A loud sound rang from the cell phone that had been dropped on the floor, but perhaps because my neck was held so tightly, my brain buzzed. In an instant, I felt heat rushing to my face and the bones in my neck were crunching.

Lee Jae-heon thought as his reason was blurred by his grip growing exponentially stronger.

“I don’t want to kill you.”

“…Dahun. ah.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay…”

Is there really no way to turn back?

really?

“…It’s okay….”

“….”

“….”

…Let’s think about it for a moment.
