Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Lee Jae

-heon, who woke up and woke up with a more normal mind, thought.

‘I guess I have to go to school one more time.’

It was a story that would have grabbed the survivors by the throat if they heard it, but there was nothing they could do. It seemed that the survivors had not been turned into plaster statues for no reason.

For example, the final boss monster is related to a plaster statue.

‘A plaster statue… If it were a plaster statue in a school, it would be in the art room. I had never visited any space other than the classroom or bathroom, so it was natural that I didn’t know. The rules of the school are designed to only allow people to enter and leave the classroom as much as possible…’

As Jaeheon Lee was shaking his head, Inho Jeong asked.

“Chief, are you feeling very unwell?”

“Not really, but…?”

“Suddenly, his expression hardened, so I asked him. If you’re still not feeling well, let’s delay going to the pharmacy. “If only you could bear the pain in your chest any longer.”

“…Let’s just go quickly. “I hate dragging my feet over trivial things like this.”

“I knew you would say that, but it’s really obnoxious.”

“If you tease me, you will be buried.”

“Haha….”

As I was condescending, Jeong In-ho smiled neatly and left. Jaeheon Lee clicked his tongue inwardly at the sight of him not attracting attention as easily as before. As I became a middle-aged chick, I became less interested in playing with it.

“….”

I suddenly became curious about the protagonist’s mental state. Usually, chicks lose their mental strength as they move, so Jung In-ho will not be much different, but does he need to be managed at least once?

‘Well, that’s not important right now.’

Jaeheon Lee continued his thoughts again. Is it really true that there is a final boss at school?

‘This part has never been described in the novel.’

In the original story, Eonhak High School was a place where the main character and his group stopped by for a while. There was no explanation other than the essential rules or basic structure, and as a result, Lee Jae-heon had a lot of trouble when he entered the language school. There may or may not be other rules in the language school other than the ones identified, so how do you know if there is a final boss in them?

“I talked to the police officers, Chief.”

Kang Min-ah quietly approached and said.

“The manager has just woken up and there are many survivors who have not yet recovered, so we decided to move after a few days, even considering the safety of the standby team. “There is no shortage of food right now.”

“I do not care.”

“Ha Seong-yoon said it would be uncomfortable to breathe, but I don’t think it will really matter, Manager.”

“Why is Chief Kang really doing this to me?”

“I’m just…”

Lee Jae-heon lamented as he slowly retreated and returned to the group of women who were looking at them with interest. No, of course, it could be seen that it was the right situation for survivors to become close friends, but a strange sense of disgust got on his nerves.

“…Haa….”

I resumed my thoughts after being interrupted twice.

‘… So… I don’t know if there will really be a final boss at school, but it’s not out of the question… Have you even thought about it?’

In the original story, the final boss who completed the second trip to the other side was in the aquarium. In fact, now that Lee Jae-heon has remembered his past life, he is thinking of hunting the monster that is the final boss, but the original protagonist and his party, who did not even have that, avoided the monster as much as possible.

‘They had one life, so they had no choice but to be careful…’

Because they rarely killed monsters, escaping from the other world was slow, and because of that, Lee Jae-heon did not know the ecology of the final boss-like monster. Even if you know where the final boss is, you don’t know if there is common sense that applies to all final bosses.

So, in fact, there may have been more final bosses than expected. Who knows, maybe there’s one at Eonhak High School right across the street or at a shopping mall over there?

“Are you okay, uncle?”

“…It seems like everyone asks the same thing at least once.”

“It means I love you that much.”

“I suddenly feel sick.”

“Oh, please really worry.”

Park Da-young, who grumbled for a moment, sat down next to him.

“So what are you thinking?”

Lee Jae-heon, who thought for a moment because he didn’t think he was asking without knowing anything, nodded and answered.

“I was wondering if there would be a final boss at Unhak High School.”

“If there is… I guess we can grab it and get out?”

“Well, I’m just imagining it. Even if it is an incredibly strong monster, it may not be the key to escaping the other side of the world…”

This was my biggest worry.

“If you kill it with great difficulty but cannot escape, nothing can be as bad as that.”

All of the final bosses in the novel were strong. So much so that you have to be prepared to lose your limbs. Even if you kill such a monster, if you are unable to escape the other side of the world, you will be in such trouble. The blown limbs will not recover.

Lee Jae-heon asked Park Da-young, who was holding her hair tightly with both hands.

“Do you think the school has a final boss?”

“It could be… I think there is.”

Dayoung Park fidgeted with the hand holding her hair.

“As I kept chatting with the kids, I thought, strangely, it felt like the school rules didn’t go beyond the classroom… well, that’s what it felt like.”

It was the same as what Jaeheon Lee felt.

“I don’t know who makes the rules for the building, but if you look at games like that, it’s all planned by the final boss, right? I don’t know who makes the rules of the behind-the-scenes world, but didn’t they come up with those rules so that they could just kill people while hiding in a safe place? “The main body is somewhere other than the classroom.”

“That’s a good idea…”

“Right?”

Park Da-young looked around for a moment, confirmed that no one was listening to their story, and continued speaking.

“And they say that if you’re locked in that classroom, you’ll turn into a plaster statue. Usually, when you think of a plaster statue, it’s not an art room, right? There are a lot of plaster statues at our school. “We also teach drawing.”

“So the plaster statues are only in the art room?”

“…Uh… No, I guess there were more here and there than I thought.”

“A plaster statue? why?”

Lee Jae-heon, who had asked questions without realizing it, was soon able to recall the scenes inside the school that he had seen in previous episodes. I was very out of it when I entered, but it seemed like there was something scattered all over the place.

Park Da-young, who did not know Lee Jae-heon’s true feelings, began to explain step by step.

“Because it is a very brittle material, if there is a blemish, we throw it away, and we ask the students to do that. However, for those of us who are stuck at school, these plaster statues are such good toys that many kids either completely destroy them or play with them.”

“You crave the kind of peripheral pleasure that only a kindergartener would have? Aren’t you a high school student? “Isn’t the day after tomorrow a saint?”

“You know that peripheral pleasure is the best when you’re stuck at school…”

Park Da-young, who had been muttering sadly, recovered and continued speaking again.

“Anyway, when I asked those students to do it, the plaster statues ended up wandering around here and there instead of in the garbage dump. Teachers don’t say anything because it’s annoying. “We don’t know who disobeyed and left it like that, and even if they found it, it would be difficult to hold them accountable because they did it to students who had no obligation to do so.”

“So… are there that many plaster statues in the school?”

“The art teacher is very strict. We have no intention of falling into the arts and physical education, but it seems like the students want to become great artists. You practice really hard, but the students are very distracted, right? As a result, the plaster statue got scratched and I still had to give it some drawing training… so I bought a lot of it. I think it’s almost like an obsession. “I saw everything piled up in the art room storage room.”

“Be terrible.”

“It’s a bit like that.”

The strictness of the teachers seems to have played a role in the stricter school rules at Eonhak High School. If Dayoung Park says it, it’s precisely because of the art teacher’s strictness.

“…Anyway, then… the range expands a little.”

How do we know whether the reason survivors are turned into plaster statues is because of the grudges of the plaster statues locked in the art room or the grudges of the plaster statues toward the students? Even if the exact reason was found, the plaster statues spread everywhere could have harassed the survivors the moment they moved toward the plaster statue.

Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment and muttered.

“What on earth are Eonhak High School students thinking about on a daily basis?”

“I don’t want to study, I have to sit in front of my desk, etc… So of course I have a lot to think about. “Some people are praying for a meteorite to come and destroy the school.”

“This is why the Underworld School is not the place to go.”

The world behind the scenes is created not by the thoughts of an object that has been hidden, but by the thoughts of people who see such an object and think of it. The reason it changed like that is not because the plaster statue has any grudges, but because the thoughts of people who saw the plaster statue and thought that way were accumulated.

“In such a large school, if the object of change for the survivors was a plaster statue, it would mean that it had that much of an impact.”

“There are quite a few plaster statues themselves. I don’t know what it is, but the art teacher seemed to have a very strong influence even among the teachers. “Isn’t that to blame?”

“I’m not sure anymore.”

Jaeheon Lee wiped the corners of his mouth.

“Then… I guess I should check the art room at least once.”

“Is there really a final boss there?”

“I don’t think it’s impossible. I don’t know where the final boss will be, and I don’t know how it is made. It wouldn’t be strange if there was an escape monster in the art room. That’s true, but…”

There was a problem.

“How many of these people want to go back to school?”

“Ah…”

The same goes for other survivors, but Kim Hee-chan in particular is worried about whether he will be able to attend school when he returns to reality. Eonhak High School in the hidden world was a place that boasted such great dignity.

‘Well, it’s surprising that right after the park, which was the most normal, was school.’

But the funny thing is that in the original story, the main character and his group stopped by the hospital right after leaving the park. There are rules there that are just as big or even bigger than those at Unhak High School, but now I’m having a hard time at school.

“If you’re going to mess with the final boss in the school, I think a lot of people will tell you to look elsewhere.”

“…I guess so. “I don’t want to go in right now, mister.”

“It’s hard to make a living.”

Jaeheon Lee clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘I think I need to at least check.’

Regardless of whether there was a final boss in the art room or not, just checking it out was a great achievement. Even if there is no reason to look the other way, you have found a key to escape from the other side. Just checking it will be beneficial either way.

“…Well, there’s no need to check right now.”

“That’s right, you haven’t even fully recovered. And I heard that there is no recovery at all in areas like the stomach…and the legs. “I think it would be best to take it as easy as possible.”

“I had no intention of just going in and checking. Rather, you will have to plan carefully… and share your opinions with others.”

“But you know what?”

“What do you mean?”

“These days, you keep using polite language.”

“….”

Oops.

“…I made a mistake.”

“It’s really unique. “They also treat people like us with respect.”

“So even if it’s a mistake.”

“mister.”

Park Da-young said, leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Do not get sick.”

“…okay.”

“I think you can just live your life a little longer.”

“What kind of habit is that when speaking to an adult?”

“It’s not because I work too hard. They say that not all adults live each moment desperately like you do. “Me and Park Da-hoon are like that too.”

“This is just a personal matter….”

“It’s personal, let’s sleep and live comfortably.”

Park Da-young’s voice became quieter.

“…sorry.”

“suddenly?”

“They said we killed him before.”

Jaeheon Lee snorted.

“That’s nonsense.”

“You don’t have to kill yourself to commit murder….”

“I just left you alone and you’re thinking all kinds of weird thoughts?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’ll hear more details from Park Da-hoon.”

Park Da-young stood up suddenly.

“Don’t scold us too much.”

“…Even if I tell you to scold me, there is nothing to scold me for.”

“thank you.”

After saying that, Park Da-young quickly hid among the students and hugged Park Da-hoon from behind. It was quite amusing to see the other students’ faces turn white at this affectionate behavior that was not seen in other siblings.

Lee Jae-heon, who was quietly watching this, muttered.

“…Live comfortably….”

Try living comfortably.

“….”

I’m already living comfortably, so what more can I do?

It looks like he still hasn’t adapted to this world.
