Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 391

Episode 391

I knew for a long time that Lee Jae-heon’s condition was not very good.

He was basically a person with distorted common sense. There was a time when I had hopes that ‘I might be thinking normally now,’ but Jaeheon Lee was still Jaeheon Lee. All he was doing was being considerate of people who couldn’t adapt to his common sense.

Therefore, Lee Jae-heon still did not know how to save himself and was able to spend as much of himself as necessary. That aspect was revealed in the words Jaeheon Lee, who seemed to have lost a lot of his mental power recently, hurled.

‘Efficiency and all, it’s useless… Just listening to it makes me feel dizzy.’

But I never thought it would blow up like that at Unhak High School.

Jaeheon Lee asked Inho Jeong.

“Why did you call me?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know, but…”

He was dragged into the bathroom with Park Da-young and looked embarrassed. Lee Jae-heon, who rolled his eyes as if trying to understand the current situation at Jeong In-ho’s reaction, opened his mouth.

“I understand very well that you have regressed. Can I assume that you called me because I have some information to tell you? …Your expression is too bad for that to be true.”

“I’m so glad you know that I don’t have a good expression.”

No matter what the two adults said, Park Da-young was hanging on Lee Jae-heon’s waist. Jeong In-ho was rather grateful to see Park Da-young, who seemed to have no intention of opening her mouth right away. Because he also had a lot to say.

“You don’t have to worry too much because Mr. Hong Gyeong-jun, who just figured it out, is calming down the other survivors. “Let’s talk about something different…”

“What are you talking about?”

“….”

Jeong In-ho, who was choosing what to say, opened his mouth.

“Are you planning on staying on the first floor?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“I knew you would answer that way. To put it bluntly, the manager is not in a very good condition to explore the language school.”

“…Did I really go around killing people like Kang Min-ah last time?”

“That can’t be right.”

There was no way Lee Jae-heon, no one else, would harm others just because he was pushed to the edge. Especially if you are out of your mind. However, seeing him ask such stupid questions seemed like he had no trust in himself.

Jeong In-ho struggled to hold back the frustration that was welling up in his eyes.

“It’s not that I’m trying to kill someone else… I’m worried that I’m trying to kill myself.”

The art room on the 4th floor where we visited to rescue Park Da-hoon. Although Jae-heon Lee tried to stop him and comfort him several times, he lost his temper and saved Da-hoon Park.

Lee Jae-heon’s eyes must have been drawn to the pitiful sight of him half trapped in a plaster statue, bleeding all over his body as if something had happened to him. Since I wasn’t in a state where I could say my mental strength was good, I could understand that reaction to a certain extent. As if he had been waiting for him, the art teacher rushed towards Lee Jae-heon.

As a result, even though Lee Jae-heon was literally in tatters, he held on to his art teacher until the end. The monster was enjoying it as if it were a game.

“The manager died trying to save Da-hoon. Thanks to this, Da-hoon lost his senses and stumbled around until he was caught by the art teacher and turned into a plaster monster. I also couldn’t stand it because there were two monsters on one floor. Thanks to that, he was cut to death by a saw at the bottom of the stairs on the fourth floor.”

“Have you met the final boss?”

“Is that really the first thing you wonder? Ha, really….”

Jeong In-ho burst into empty laughter.

“You son of a bitch.”

Lee Jae-heon frowned as if he was displeased, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of correcting his words. I hadn’t felt this irritated while watching Lee Jae-heon for a while, but for the first time in a long time, a familiar heat rose in the back of my neck.

“Even though student Park Da-hoon was clearly the bait, the manager went up without any reason. Anyway, I agreed and went up with him, which is not something I would say, but anyone could see that it was a trap. I was targeting the manager. Da-young tried to stop him several times, but the manager pushed ahead strongly, saying that Da-hoon was still alive. “It can be done up to this point.”

“If I go up, how…”

“Are you curious about that now? Anyway, in the end, it was true that Da-hoon was alive and they even saved him, but due to the psychological shock, he was unable to escape in time and became a plaster monster. Don’t you all get along really well? In the end, it gradually collapsed in a chain reaction and we all died. “It’s not a good result.”

Throughout all of this, Jaeheon Lee was ruthless. If he was sane, he would have known that wouldn’t work, but Lee Jae-heon got angry and said, ‘If I’m criticizing you, I’m criticizing you. Why are you talking so much?’ It seems that Jung In-ho wanted to save Park Da-hoon even if he was displeased or felt pressured.

When Jeong In-ho’s persuasion did not work well, Lee Jae-heon made several attempts. I’ve done this a lot in the past, so I said I can do it well and I can save it. Since it doesn’t work, I get angry and try to go alone. At the same time, he only sees Jung In-ho as someone who needs to be protected. You blame him without realizing that your way of thinking is the problem. He insisted that what he said was right.

“What can I say about the manager at that time….”

“What.”

“I couldn’t understand anything.”

I felt like I was back in the days when I only knew ‘Manager Lee Jae-heon’.

I guess it could be said that it was a time to understand why Lee Jae-heon insisted on old school among so many concepts. Although the direction is opposite, Latte is an old man with self-centered thinking and top-down orders. If you take away his sacrificial aspects such as blindly raising his voice and discriminating against young people, he is an old man.

“…I know it, but it must have been part of an act to persuade me.”

Looking at the cool expression on his face the moment he faced the monster, I couldn’t believe that such an old-fashioned look was sincere. As Lee Jae-heon has done so far, it was just an act to control the other person’s thoughts, and Lee Jae-heon’s sacrificial nature did not go anywhere.

So it was even more frustrating.

“It wasn’t like that from the beginning. I think the manager probably thought that Da-hoon was captured because of him… and that his mental strength was greatly reduced due to the survivors who died before him. “I think that was the result.”

“…It must have been quite a mess.”

At those two words, Park Da-young, who was clinging to Lee Jae-heon’s waist, trembled. Park Da-young, who had been resting her head on his body, lifted her head and looked up at Lee Jae-heon.

“….”

“…Dayoung?”

“…Uncle….”

Park Da-young cried.

“I won’t use it too much….”

“…? Huh? “What does this mean all of a sudden?”

“I, Park Dayoung, was born again through this regression. I will do well…”

“No, what…”

Jeong In-ho took off his glasses and swept his hands around his eyes.

“…I heard that he was tortured in front of the students.”

“who. I?”

“Yes, Manager. In front of students Dayoung Park and Dahoon Park. To the art teacher monster.”

“…Is that what the part about ‘Park Da-hoon was arrested because of me’ was referring to?”

“It looked like the monster was harassing the manager to get the students out since he couldn’t enter the restroom. “At the time, I was confronting Han Do-yoon, who had become a plaster monster, in the bathroom of Building B, so I don’t know the situation at the time, but even though he was treated with medicine right after he was released from the plaster monster… the manager’s condition looked very bad.”

It wasn’t just bad, its mere existence was enough to warrant a yellow 19+ label. Although he appeared to be in good health, the thick blood staining various parts of his body made it possible to guess that he had been tortured. Park Da-young, who could intuit that and still stick to her waist, was amazing.

Recalling that image, Jeong In-ho looked back at Lee Jae-heon, who was in a relatively normal state.

“….”

“…Why do you look at it like that?”

“I think it makes me feel better to see people walking around without blood on them.”

“Oh, well…”

Lee Jae-heon looked genuinely shaken, but Jeong In-ho still felt uncomfortable, knowing that Lee Jae-heon would come out in some way even if the situation became even a little tense.

Only after hearing the small mutterings of the survivors did Jeong In-ho open his mouth.

“Please don’t do that.”

“…Of course.”

“Don’t give me an easy answer.”

“Then what and how are you telling me to answer?”

“Promise me you’ll never act like that.”

“Okay… I understand.”

“….”

Jeong In-ho was ominous. It was because I knew that I was not in a state where I could just make such a trivial promise. If the same situation happens, Lee Jae-heon will change his body at any time.

And that prediction was correct.

“So, I think it would be okay if we put him on the first floor and distract him.”

“How about putting it on the fourth floor instead? Aren’t there classes with no school rules on the 3rd grade floor during the 5th period? If you put it in there and the student next to you, Da-Hoon Park or Da-Young Park, keeps drawing attention…” “

That kind of attracting attention is not helpful. As Dayoung said just now, we need to increase the physical distance by placing them on the first floor to save time.”

“But wouldn’t it be a disaster if the art teacher took the elevator and went down to the first floor like last time? “I think it would be better to place it on the B building side of the second floor.”

“The damn art teacher keeps causing variables. After all, he is the monster with the highest intelligence, and he doesn’t hesitate to take hostages to attract Lee Jae-heon…” “

We need to solve the problem of the art teacher as quickly as possible. If you look at Song In-myeong, you can see that attacking him in anger is a phenomenon that can be exploited. If we aim for that again this time… What was it like last time when Garam Yoon periodically lit a fire and activated the sprinklers?”

“We already talked about it running for about 30 minutes and then stopping. So… if you repeat this about 50 times, the pool rail will be completely filled with water. However, as the water gets colder, the strength of the mental attack from the black water outside the rail increases. Anyway, I think it would be easier to attract an art teacher if you just repeat it about 30 times.”

“But even if you lure the monster with just that much water, you won’t be able to kill it right away. The art teacher monster also avoids water once it gets over excited, so it quickly runs away. “It would be difficult to compete with that amount of water.”

“The good news is that it has been confirmed that water alone can cause great damage to the art teacher monster. The problem is that the monster himself knows this well and avoids going near swimming pools if possible. “It’s a pain in the ass because the excitement wears off quickly.”

“Besides, if the monster is released like that, he will definitely pop out from somewhere…”

“Damn, why are you so quick on your feet? How should I handle this….”

“….”

“….”

“…Ha….”

Jeong In-ho, Hong Gyeong-jun, and the Park siblings, who were having a heated discussion, soon looked relieved.

“…Why doesn’t he survive no matter what I do?”

“You said that in some cases, you may be the first to die. “It also means that we can’t do anything about Jaeheon Lee’s ability to be blind to sacrifice.”

“It seems like the more he loses his mind, the stronger he becomes.”

“I agree….”

Park Da-young, Hong Gyeong-jun, Park Da-hoon, and Jeong In-ho lamented side by side.

As a result of numerous regressions, it was realized that the so-called ‘regressor meeting’ should be held without Jaeheon Lee in order to increase his chances of survival. Now they were in the bathroom by themselves, leaving Lee Jae-heon in the care of Yoon Ga-ram and Woo Woo-young.

Not knowing that the essence of this meeting was to ‘save Lee Jae-heon’, he looked at the returnees with a look on their faces as if asking why they were leaving him out, but did not bother to add anything. If you look closely, Lee Jae-heon is not a returner, and he seems to have judged that the situation in which returners are showing enthusiasm for success is not that bad. He respected the ways of the regressors.

“Actually, if you look at it that way, it’s a bit funny that Detective Hong Gyeong-jun is here.”

“It was you who called me.”

“Of course, the detective was aware of this situation, so he got better results… But it is true that he never went back. “It’s interesting that you accept this situation faster than anyone else.”

Although Hong Gyeong-jun had never regressed before, despite having informed him of the fact about the regression, he had been a part of this meeting from some point on. From the seventh regression.

“Anyway, isn’t the point of this meeting to save Lee Jae-heon?”

“That’s right.”

“Because it’s not a very difficult subject to accept. “I hope you call me next time.”

“I’m thinking of doing that if possible.”

Anyway, Hong Gyeong-jun, who was blind to a person named Lee Jae-heon, showed a natural talent for marking Lee Jae-heon, who had gone crazy in some way. It boasted an efficiency that could not be shown by Jeong In-ho or the Park siblings and other survivors alone.

“How many times did it happen… Anyway, it was a little funny when I saw the detective being dragged around the man’s torso during the last episode. to be honest.”

“I’ve been holding on to it for so long that even the manager is having a hard time shaking it off. “It wasn’t a bad attempt, but in fact, I think the most plausible method was pushing him into the bathroom and locking him in the last episode.”

“So the conclusion is that the detective has a talent for kidnapping and confinement?”

“…I don’t know if you remember that I am a detective. I wonder what I did and how I did in the last episode to say that… I was really hung up on it? To Jaeheon Lee? To a black adult male?”

“There’s something like that. Anyway, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun is a great help to us.”

Hong Gyeong-jun, who concluded the meeting in order not to drag on too long, continued.

“I just have some concerns.”

“It looks like you want to talk about what you said last time. Please say it.”

“…I don’t think Jaeheon Lee will like this meeting.”

“Yes, that’s what you said last time.”

Jeong In-ho smiled his characteristic neat smile.

“But you can’t kill the manager.”

Never once has someone escaped from the underworld while dead.

What if Lee Jae-heon makes another sacrifice and returns to reality thanks to him? In that case, how can Lee Jae-heon’s death be reversed? Is it even possible to return to that point in the first place?

“That’s…”

“Is that so? “We don’t know anything exactly about this regression system.”

Jeong In-ho did not want to risk Lee Jae-heon’s life on something that was not certain.

Hong Gyeong-jun was also convinced by his words, and it seemed like this episode was going through the same trial and error as the last time.

“…Mr. Jeong In-ho.”

“…Boss?”

“Would you like to talk to me for a moment?”

“….”

“Art teacher… I think I can kill him enough, but why do I keep taking the long way back?”

That was until Jaeheon Lee noticed something strange.

“Anyway, when I return to reality, all my injuries will recover? It seems like they keep leaving me out at important times… Of course, if I have work to do in that direction, I have nothing to say…” Although he

seemed to not have grasped the essence of the meeting, he said, ‘Why aren’t you actively using a good tool called Lee Jae-heon? It seemed like he was questioning the question. Lee Jae-heon, who knew nothing, was making eye contact with Jeong In-ho as if asking him to please use him in the nick of time until he died.

Let’s look at those eyes that are trembling with worry and anxiety… and have resigned themselves to death.

“That way, the manager won’t die.”

“….”

“….”

I couldn’t hold back my words.

“…what?”

And I couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Then why did you keep dying?”

“…Jung In-ho, right now….”

“Everyone is acting like a fool because they want to save you.”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon’s face was distorted in confusion and anger.

Suddenly I wanted to go back.

“I’m doing great.”

As he said before, regression was a very good tool.

It was the first time Lee Jae-heon got angry.
