Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 250

Episode 250

There are a total of 38 classrooms from the 2nd to 4th floors. Among them, there were 13 classrooms on the 4th floor alone. This meant that even if Jeong In-ho and Ha Seong-yoon each visited one classroom, they had to visit the classroom at least six times.

‘The problem is this class bell that rings from time to time.’

Total class time is 50 minutes. There is a 10 minute break that follows. All survivors had to sit in their classroom chairs until the class bell rang once every 60 minutes. Otherwise…

Jeong In-ho’s eyes landed on the limp lumps of meat in the classroom.

‘…Did I say that Dayoung’s class was the first class of 3rd grade?’

As they didn’t know what would happen in the classroom, Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho were both in the same classroom, and this was the classroom closest to the elevator, which was Da-young Park’s class, 3rd grade, 1st class. In the classroom where they were sitting, they could see corpses with various limbs crushed.

Even if they were told that all they had to do was avoid being caught by the teacher monster, they would not have had the luxury of doing so.

“….”

I gasped.

‘I felt a little strange coming from a classroom without school rules… I wonder if there are any real disadvantages.’

Lee Jae-heon repeatedly talked about the secret world being a place where your mental strength is diminished just by taking a breath, and Jeong In-ho also sympathized with that point. Should I say that it feels as if someone is showering me with hatred, as if telling me to die right away? Because of that, he didn’t feel it at first, but as time passed, In-ho Jeong became more confident after entering the classroom.

The school’s ‘lessons’ quickly eroded the survivor’s mental strength.

“….”

“….”

In fact, even if the underworld and school did not have a direct impact on the survivors, it was a psychologically harmful situation. There were mannequin monsters sitting on each of the approximately 20 seats, and corpses hanging out here and there between the monsters. The sound of mechanical writing coming from all directions and the monster teacher standing at the table looking only at the students.

Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho even removed the body and sat there. No matter how high the emotional threshold Jung In-ho was and Ha Seong-yoon, who was used to torn flesh, it was a situation that could not help but feel bad.

‘It’s hard to even get the words out.’

Since I didn’t know exactly what conditions would be required for the teacher monster to attack directly, it was a wise decision to adapt to the surrounding atmosphere if possible. If Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho were whispering or writing to each other and the monster teacher who saw them got angry, it would have been difficult to handle.

Jeong In-ho sighed very faintly.

“…Haa….”

Time passed so slowly.

Jeong In-ho raised his head and looked around the classroom. Despite the ticking sound, the hands of the clock do not move. Students’ notes take notes at different speeds, but nothing is actually written down. A teacher who looks only at the students and not at the blackboard. Student monsters that look the same as if they were printed in a factory, and corpses hanging everywhere.

A situation where you have to endure all of this for 50 minutes without being able to say anything or move to another place.

“….”

That made Jeong In-ho crazy.

‘…I thought I could go out comfortably if I just followed the rules.’

It was a ridiculous idea. The five rules that Da-hoon Park organized were really helpful, but I didn’t know what the other four rules were, and I wasn’t even sure if the remaining four rules were correct.

Besides, having to endure this crazy situation for 50 minutes was not something a human would do. I felt like insect-like nervousness and strange fear were gnawing away at my feet and digging into my brain. When I first arrived in the other side of the world, I was able to calm my mind and regain my composure as much as possible in reality, but I felt empty, as if the treasure I had worked so hard to save was empty.

“….”

I want to go out.

Just the thought of wanting to get out and wanting to get out filled my brain.

‘I could really go crazy like this.’

Jeong In-ho, scratching his neck in frustration that was getting worse, looked at Ha Seong-yoon sitting next to him, but his situation did not seem much different from Jeong In-ho’s. Ha Seong-yoon had his hands clasped together and his eyes tightly closed. His expression was expressionless and not distorted at all, but his opponent was Ha Seong-yoon, who was always smiling, so this was a reaction that showed that he was quite mentally concentrated.

“….”

In the end, Jeong In-ho also closed his eyes. The good news among the misfortunes is that the teacher monster does not get angry or swing his hand at such disloyal students.

The moment I thought that.

~??????????

“…?!”

“her.”

Soft classical music could be heard from a desk drawer right in front of Ha Seong-yoon. Although the song name was so unfamiliar that it was hard to tell, it was certain that it made Jeong In-ho and Ha Seong-yoon’s hearts flutter.

And in an instant, the teacher monster approached and broke through the Kwasik desk and smashed the cell phone inside.

The monster, which was quietly staring at the shattered cell phone, turned its head and looked at Ha Seong-yoon.

“….”

“….”

A monster with human-like hair and clothes full of life, like the mannequins that survivors often see in reality mirrors. It had no mouth, nose or eyes, passed by Ha Seong-yoon, looked around, and then slowly stretched out its hand and grabbed the head of the corpse sitting in front of Ha Seong-yoon.

Kwasik! Pow!

“….”

“….”

… again, again, again….

As he slammed the corpse on the floor while holding its head, the corpse was crushed into a shape as bad as the cell phone the monster was holding.

As soon as I finished my work, I was once again standing somewhere else at the teacher’s table. Ha Seong-yoon was looking at the teacher monster as if it made no sense.

Jeong In-ho covered his mouth with his hand, almost sighing.

‘…Even if it’s not my cell phone, if a sound rings from where I’m sitting, that’s what happens.’

It seemed like there were more things to be careful about. Jeong In-ho was shocked by the bloody and flesh-filled advice to figure out what traps might be hidden. These corpses were also 19 years old at most.

As time passed, it was time to take a break.

“…Let’s go out, please.”

“I agree.”

They stood up immediately, even their legs were shaking. Of course, there was a plaster monster in the hallway with its eyes lit up looking for survivors, but my desire to get out of this crappy place was greater than that monster.

Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho sighed as they approached the door to watch the movements of the plaster monster.

“…I understand why the students looked so haggard. “If you take this crazy class over and over again, you’re bound to get tired.”

“My neck and wrists are so tight. I feel like I want to go around in more comfortable clothes… but I said I couldn’t do that. All I could do was sit there and I couldn’t even talk. “I thought I was going crazy.”

“Did you scratch it until it bled?”

Jeong In-ho blinked in surprise at what Ha Seong-yoon said and traced the pastoral line with his hand. Although it was not as serious as Lee Jae-heon’s in the park, fluid and blood were flowing out of the wound caused by being scratched hard. Jeong In-ho felt a slightly harsh feeling on his fingertips and muttered with an embarrassed expression.

“…okay. “I didn’t know.”

“…I didn’t go to that extent, but… I don’t know if it’s because In-ho Jeong and this school are particularly incompatible, or because I experienced some of Jae-heon Lee’s pain.”

“I think it’s probably both. “The manager is also the manager, but I wasn’t close to the school.”

“It’s surprising. It seems like you were very sincere. “Actually, being sincere and being a good fit are two different things.”

“No… I don’t think I was a particularly diligent student.”

“That’s really surprising.”

When it was time for recess to see if it was true that this school was run in its own way based on a real school, the teacher monster came out of the classroom. Thanks to this, Jeong In-ho, who was chatting about various things a little more casually, once again checked the location of the monsters roaming the hallways and called Jae-heon Lee, who was hiding in a chair.

“Boss.”

?…Please come out.

“thank you.”

Only then did the door that had not budged open slightly.

“…The break time is 10 minutes, so there is still plenty of time, but it would be too risky to move around while only checking inside the classroom in the hallway, right?”

“I’d like to do that too… but there’s a plaster monster walking around like that. “I don’t know the exact role of those mannequins in school uniforms, but I don’t think there’s anything good about them standing out.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to go out the front door and go in through the back door of the class right next door. Kim Hee…Chan inside. I think we should move to the next class right after checking to see if Kim Hee-chan is there. How many times can you move during recess?”

“This time, it took a lot of time for us to get used to it, so… well, I think we’ll be able to move up to 2 spaces next time. “What I’m most worried about is how I can get to the classroom in the building on the other side.”

“Dahun said there was a long bench and a bathroom in the hallway connecting Buildings A and B. “We have no choice but to move around and hide from the monsters as much as possible.”

As soon as they said that, one person came into their minds.

“…I don’t know if the manager is hiding well.”

“It’s big on the inside, so you’ll be able to escape easily if you have the chance.”

Ha Seong-yoon’s words also made sense. The building, which looked like a haze shaking when seen from the outside, surprisingly looked like an ordinary school when you went inside, but when viewed from a larger perspective, it looked closer to a ‘?’ shape. There are two rectangular buildings with classrooms lined up in a row, and there is a hallway connecting them. Isn’t there an additional annex there?

There are a lot of places to run and a lot of places to hide, so Jaeheon Lee, who is the most physically capable among us, would be able to avoid it well…

“…Ah.”

“….”

“…Injured leg….”

“Yes.”

“Damn it.”

Ha Seong-yoon took a deep breath and muttered.

“I hope you continue to hide in that spot.”

They recalled Lee Jae-heon, who had a sullen expression on his face when they told him to hide. If it had been other people, I would have gladly accepted it and been grateful, but it seems like I have to come forward first to be able to resolve my feelings. That amazing and selfish spirit of sacrifice.

He was a person you could hardly trust.

*

… Just in case, I blocked the speaker with my finger.

‘It looks like they’re moving to the next half.’

Fortunately, the plaster monster headed towards the building on the other side. Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho seemed to know this as well, and I heard them moving around the classroom twice to avoid the attention of the student monsters. Then, when the class bell rang, I heard the sound of something being pushed out loud. It seemed like he probably pushed away a student monster.

Lee Jae-heon, who heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway, hid himself in the space under the chair again.

“…it’s hard to lie down….”

I don’t know what the survivors who are suffering in the classroom will think when they hear this, but Jaeheon Lee was sincere in his own way.

He had wounds on his abdomen and calves that could never be healed or regenerated in the other world. The prone position that allowed me to get up quickly if the situation occurred to me subtly made my wounds more painful.

If anything, I was at least mentally normal during my last trip to the other side of the world, but now the mental pain of being a weak old manager who had just suffered in real life had not yet healed. It meant that, like last time, there was a limit to being able to withstand the pain with mental strength.

‘This too will get better over time.’

As expected, Lee Jae-heon was more comfortable in the behind-the-scenes world than in reality.

‘Rather… the problem is how to leave school.’

First of all, it is impossible to escape right away this time.

It’s probably the 7th or 8th period right now, so even if you ring the bell for dismissal separately, how can they who are gathered on the 3rd and 4th floors be able to go down to the 1st floor within 1 minute? Kim Hee-chan’s whereabouts are still unknown, and he can’t even leave unless it’s the front door.

‘Even if those two get used to it and go to each classroom separately, it won’t be possible to get off school this time, and then we’ll have to go to class 8 more times. Wouldn’t the emotional burden be lessened if we only found out that Kim Hee-chan was already dead? In that case, if you just hang around on the first floor and escape… Oh, before that, you’ll have to call the survivors who will wait for you on the second and first floors.’

Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking of an escape route in his mind, muttered softly.

“…Mr. Ha….”

I shouldn’t have felt this way already, but this episode was really not good.

Lee Jae-heon, who was thinking carefully about possible escape routes, naturally had no choice but to think about preparing for the next episode. If I couldn’t finish it this time, I thought I should inform the protagonist and other returnees about the existence of rule number 8 and its difficulty within this episode as much as possible.

And you guys said I was at my fastest just before I died…?

“….”

If he’s going to die anyway, at least the main character should be saved and sent out.

Just like that, the class bell rang and the dismissal bell rang again. The voices that had been buzzing at the sound of a different bell quieted down and I heard the class bell ring again and again.

“?Aaaahhh…!”

“Please come to your senses!”

“mister…!”

Lee Jae-heon, who woke up as if he had been waiting for the faint sound of a scream coming from the third floor, gazed at the plaster monster scurrying at high speed from the building on the other side.

Just then, his cell phone rang and his eyes met the monster.

“….”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon took off his gloves and held a crowbar in his hands.

“You bastard….”

Let’s look at the name tag.
