Chapter 433:
I could understand why the survivors were so worried.
‘He looked like this after going to this party, so you must have thought that he must have suffered a lot from his abusive family. The timing is so messed up.’
But surprisingly, this was really the first time. It’s like a situation that arose while struggling, unable to overcome a nightmare. When Jaeheon Lee was alone, he lived well on his own.
It’s just a little dream I had today…
“… Manager, you’re not having strange thoughts again, are you?”
“I will never die.”
“Why am I so distrustful?”
“Are you going to start a fight?”
While shaking off Jeong In-ho, who was arguing, I blinked at a strange feeling.
‘I felt like I was getting something back.’
Things I had to forget. I felt like I had gotten back what I had lost through a dream. It was quite creepy to have emotions and memories that I didn’t even know I had come up spontaneously.
It was already known that he had forgotten many things after becoming ‘Lee Jae-heon’. But how did I kill the person I loved, what did the children look like when they left, and what did the manager do as a result of rebelling against God’s demands?
‘Even the feeling I had of hating God.’
Now I remembered. It occurred to me.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the mirror on the floor.
“….”
The ghost policeman was nowhere to be seen.
‘…I think there’s a connection.’
I instinctively felt it was related.
The ghost that was always looking at Lee Jae-heon in the mirror was invisible for some reason, and even though I woke up from such a dream, my heart was beating calmly. My mind is cool. I feel like I have a piece that I didn’t have before. I had to ask him directly to find out, but I had a feeling that he had taken something from the prototype.
Even if that was the author’s intention to complete me.
“…Can you see it?”
“…Not now.”
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not.”
“I see.”
Jeong In-ho looked at the mirror that Lee Jae-heon was looking at with a creepy smile on his face. Even so, In-ho Jeong cannot see the ghost sitting on Jae-heon Lee’s mannequin. Is it because I still don’t know what attitude to take towards the ghost police? Jeong In-ho’s gaze when he looked in the mirror was very dark.
I continued my thoughts while looking at that face.
‘Why did I forget this?’
That face. That disgusting face. He was very similar to my junior, who always smiled and rebelled. Even Lee Jae-heon, who had forgotten many things, had a reason to hate it when the main character smiled, thinking it was gross. I don’t know how many times I’ve been stabbed in the back by that smile.
Ha Seong-yoon, who had also glanced at the mirror, approached.
“Then, shall we have a little talk? “I think we’ll have a lot to talk about, including the fact that I met the manager’s older brother last time.”
“Ah…”
“The kids have all gone to bed.”
A gathering of adults with only minors included. Jaeheon Lee’s expression crumpled.
“I hate it so much.”
“I’ll give it back exactly as you said. Do you have any idea how absurd I was when I met the manager’s older brother? “I really hated it.”
“I guess you don’t have a lot of personality.”
“Why would someone with such inhumanity come up to me and start a fight?”
“…I was going to explain, but…”
“Then try it. “Everyone is listening.”
“Am I being interrogated now?”
“Are you going to be angry if we even bring in Detective Hong Gyeong-jun?”
“So, it happened last time when I had just escaped from the underworld…”
Does it make sense to bring Hong Gyeong-jun, who is busy catching up with the information Lee Jae-heon gave him, to a place like this? How can you call a busy man even if you just leave him alone? Jaeheon Lee quickly resigned himself and began to explain.
“Do you remember? “When I came out and killed the green algae monster in the park.”
“You are talking about an incident where the manager was tattered like a rag after 40 years of use. “I remember.”
“Even if I say it like that… That’s right, this is the story right after I got tattered and escaped from the other side of the world.”
“Right after the first escape. You worked really diligently. “Without our knowledge.”
“Honestly, we weren’t meant to share even the smallest details.”
“Are you telling me this because you’re in a relationship like that now? “The manager’s relative is acting like a troll, so I have no choice but to reveal it.”
“Why is Assistant Manager Jeong talking so much when he asks me to explain?”
“Try it and I’ll listen.”
“Hey, you disgusting bastard.”
The sarcasm is doubly hurtful because he is doing that with the face of a junior he remembers.
“I met Detective Hong Gyeong-jun by chance at a real-life park. Of course, I stopped by to check, and Detective Hong Gyeong-jun also came and met me because he was curious about the current status of the survivors…”
“Did you stop by there again? As soon as you get into that situation at the park? “What’s going on, boss?”
“Kwon Yeonhee’s small hamster, be quiet. “The manager is talking right now.”
“…Squeak….”
“Oh, you’re pretty. Anyway, the work started from there.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was listening while wearing his outerwear, wondering if he should go back to the hospital, covered his eyes with one hand. Seeing him do that without even touching his earlobe, it seems like his head just hurt rather than rolling. I’m telling you because you asked me to, but why do there seem to be so many complaints?
A body that was thrown away anyway. Jaeheon Lee put everything aside and told the story step by step. Lee Jae-heon suggested that he become a corrupt police officer, and Hong Gyeong-jun nodded to catch Song In-myeong even though it seemed absurd. There is even a hostage named Kim Yeon-woo who will fool the eyes of the high-ranking people who are paying attention to them.
“…No, wait a minute, hostage?”
“Because Detective Hong Gyeong-jun had to give the bastard named Lee Jae-heon a reason to cooperate.”
“Oh yes, I see. “I’ll take a moment to sort things out.”
Team leader Woo Soo-young, who was listening with a sour expression on his face, came forward.
“The reason the manager and the detective joined hands is to eliminate Song In-myeong and the industry. However, the manager is under surveillance at home and suddenly brings the detective to the house, so the party believes that there must be some kind of connection between the two. To make that point more plausible, the detective was made into a corrupt police officer who investigated the background of ordinary citizens, but on the surface, would-be murderer Lee Jae-heon used Hong Gyeong-jun, who was chasing the industry, to meet writer Song In-myeong. The reason Hong Gyeong-jun cooperated in the setting was to monitor Lee Jae-heon and to ensure the safety of Kim Yeon-woo, who became a hostage. And the real purpose was to create an environment so that Hong Gyeong-jun could pursue the industry even in radical ways, while the manager himself tried to become Song In-myeong’s bait.”
“….”
“…What does this mean?”
Woo Joo-young, who finished speaking as if he was confused even after organizing it himself, looked at Lee Jae-heon. It seemed like the question of what kind of crazy story this was was being asked even without me saying it. Jaeheon Lee smiled kindly at his subordinate who had worked under him for several years.
“As expected, Team Leader Woo’s ability to organize things is outstanding, isn’t it?”
“Boss. Please don’t laugh like that when it’s not even your company. “There’s something similar to trauma about the manager who let me fly without a soul.”
“Is this a rejection of the manager’s love?”
“Honestly, if you’ve been rubbing your palms this much for several years, wouldn’t it be okay to reject it?”
“I don’t know why things are so cocky these days.”
“Don’t keep diluting the point….”
“When do you say I diluted the point?”
They are the ones who started the fight first and they are really funny jjamppong rip-offs. If you do something, don’t change your mind. Then you can leave it alone for me to explain.
While muttering that to himself, Jaeheon Lee rubbed the corner of his mouth with a strange sense of discomfort.
‘I feel strange.’
For some reason, I’m not as grumpy as usual.
I feel like the opposite sex has become a little colder.
“…Do I need further explanation here?”
I don’t know if it’s the effect of regaining some of his memories, but I feel that his personality is closer to that of his past life than that of the old manager. Even though it is reality, not a hidden world where survival is threatened.
Jaeheon Lee adjusted his expression to be as natural as possible so that the survivors would not notice me.
Jeong In-ho asks if it is effective, only interested in the story he told.
“So, are you saying that the manager is a would-be murderer who is possessed by Song In-myeong’s work?”
“I guess so?”
“Are we survivors who went in and out of Director’s house and got close to him the potential victims of ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ tricks?”
“I know.”
“Buying houses for students would have been treated in the same context…”
“Is it progressing quickly?”
“Lee Jae-hyung approached me, the scapegoat, in order to pick a fight with the manager who touched his pride…? To disturb ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ enjoyment?”
“that’s right.”
“Boss.”
Jeong In-ho laughed grimly.
“I don’t know what to say now.”
“Let’s just stay still and not know.”
“So, let me pass the baton to Ha Seong-yoon.”
“Huh, Ha-geuk-sang….”
“Now is not the time to sound like Ha-geuk-sang.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was watching the exchange of words between the two, also smiled softly and joined in.
“teacher.”
“yes.”
“You’re saying that losing your fingernails, getting holes in your stomach and legs, and getting the flu were all things you brought on yourself? I can’t say anything about scratching my neck while having nightmares, but don’t you think it’s too much? “What happens to those of us who deeply care about the manager?”
“Shall we kneel and raise our hands?”
“I can’t ask that much of a sick person. If it weren’t for my patient, I would have slapped him on the back, but you can’t do that to someone who is already tired. All I can do is give him a warm look…”
“I think it would be better to kneel and raise your hand.”
“Do you think I would leave it like that? “How dare you talk about patients.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s smiling face subtly twisted. It was a smile that seemed evil.
“It was that kind of situation…”
“You look like you’re about to kill someone. Please calm down.”
“Just think about the family members who found out that our poor patient came back after being beaten outside.”
“No, who is whose family?”
“You probably know that if you step out of here, you’ll become an absolute bastard, right?”
“So are you kneeling?”
“I’ll think about it when you’re better, but for now, Boss Yoon.”
Yoon Garam, who was standing next to Ha Seongyoon like a tree, smiled and answered.
“Yes, teacher.”
“Would you like me to roll up the blanket for you?”
“That’s a good idea.”
Lee Jae-heon once again became a blanket thief.
“What is this… It’s not even a mat…”
“You have to go to work tomorrow, so you should get a good night’s sleep.”
“It’s so stuffy, where can you sleep? “I’d rather die than get sick.”
“No dying.”
“Huh?”
“I said it was prohibited.”
“Are these guys real?”
Jaeheon Lee grumbled, but didn’t bother to get out of the blanket. In some cases, the punishment was weaker than expected, and in some cases, consideration was given to survivors who seemed to be suffering greatly. On the topic of chicks, isn’t it obvious that if you keep trying to be considerate of other people but still keep going after seeing that, you’ll only get criticized?
Lee Jae-heon, whose body was filled with fatigue proportional to his stuffiness, rolled his head.
‘…So what should I do?’
Since Lee Dang is somewhat related to the industry and ‘Jae-heon Lee,’ who recalled his past life, is a member of the Lee Dang group, I thought it was only natural that there would be a manager in the family. I still think that the probability of that happening is the highest.
‘Still, the fact that I couldn’t find the manager probably means that there is no manager among the relatives I’ve seen, or that he’s a distant relative. I heard from another affiliate that your brother has not retired yet. Should we look there too?’
No, in fact, it is difficult to ignore the possibility that Lee Jae-heon did not know even though he saw it. I have to wonder if the lady, the old man, the older sister, and the older brother are all managers. The opponent is an expert who freely controls the ability to possess. It is easy to handle a possessed body without any discomfort.
‘Lee Jae-hyung looks particularly stupid, but he may have been using the concept to catch me off guard. First of all, I smelled a manager in the industry, so if I searched mainly for people with deep ties to that field, I might come across… Who is this party that claims to have built up connections?’
And another problem comes to mind.
“Are you sleeping?”
“Manager, I’m not sleeping.”
“…I think it’s my dad.”
“Use it.”
Among the relatives I met this time, there were no mannequins.
Yeah, this part. This part was the problem. This is the part where there was no mannequin even though Jae-heon Lee found it himself. And Jae-heon Lee came to a conclusion immediately after noticing the problem.
So what exactly is that conclusion?
‘You just have to make something that doesn’t exist.’
The target is Lee Jae-hee.
The time has come for that man to die.
