Theatrical Regression Life

Chapter 487

Episode 487

Park Da-hoon was always unsure.

I couldn’t be confident.

Even though I was only one year older than my older sister, I still had no idea why my parents hated me so much, and even though I was left out, I had to pretend that it didn’t happen.

He looked sideways at other children and learned from their lives. I even learned that from my older sister.

So, I wasn’t confident in myself.

I needed to know how to envision and plan for the distant future and make wiser choices, but I was too scared of the difficulties that were just around the corner. Park Da-hoon, who was anxious to complete the task in front of him, was a weak person who was shaken from his very foundation.

“Bar Park Da-young. Hey, this isn’t this… Hey no… Why is this…”

He gasped.

“Your legs. sister. Sister’s legs…”

“Hey, it’s okay. “You can take a break at a cafe and look for medicine.”

“Why… oh why…”

I can only do what I am told.

“Why…”

They managed to get out of the rainforest, but Park Da-hoon’s tears did not stop.

I couldn’t believe that even though I did everything I was told, my sister was hurt this much. Even though I knew it wasn’t my fault that the vine was cut in that situation, I couldn’t breathe.

Was that really a good thing? Couldn’t we have done better? What would have been different if I had been able to think smartly like these people and act on my own instead of just listening to and following what these people say…?

‘Am I doing it right?’

I became so scared when I saw my family’s blood.

“Oh, really, why are you doing this? If you’re that worried, go get some medicine. huh? “That’s fine then.”

“Sister….”

“You really make me explode.”

“sister.”

“Oh why again?”

I felt disillusioned with myself.

“I’m scared.”

It suddenly occurred to me that something was going wrong.

Of course, Da-hoon Park himself knows that he didn’t do anything wrong. If he weren’t an omniscient and omnipotent god, I wouldn’t have been able to connect the broken vines or pull up the falling Park Da-young instead of Song In-myeong.

It was an accident that caused Park Da-young’s legs to become so tattered. Not only that, but everyone couldn’t help it.

But it was strange from the beginning.

‘It was strange.’

After all, Song In-myeong becomes our group, someone must get hurt to cross the next street, and we have to protect the insignificant kindergarten students who need to hide in a safe place. It felt so strange and unreasonable. I felt like I was watching a messy story.

Park Da-hoon knew he was acting stupid. How can everything in the world happen just the way you want it to? It wasn’t always as ideal as the plan.

The reason he was so scared and cried was just a complaint of his own weakness.

“Are you crying? Are you crying? Damn, I’m really crying. It’s so fucking disgusting to see your sister cry because she’s hurt…”

“Oh really, oh really…! Won’t you shut up?!”

“Ack, did you hit me just now?!”

“I hit you, this is a dog!”

Song In-myeong, who started a fight, Park Da-young, who naturally scolded him, and two kindergarten students who watched us without crying.

It all felt unrealistic.

“….”

All I know is that I probably won’t be able to succeed all at once.

‘…It’s only natural that we die again.’

No one has ever succeeded in escaping without dying.

Without Park Da-hoon knowing, someone else would return. And those trapped in an aquarium full of monsters will probably die before anyone can return.

Park Da-hoon’s current thoughts could not be conveyed to the next episode, so they were meaningless.

None of them said, ‘We are going to die,’ but everyone knew it. Since Park Da-hoon knew, it was clear that others also knew. Only after dying so meaninglessly and dying again would the present Park Da-hoon leave behind an unknown value.

“…Ugh….”

“It’s really funny why you cry when it’s me who is hurting.”

“….”

Park Da-hoon carefully hugged Park Da-young, who was sitting on the bench in the connecting hallway, her legs dangling helplessly.

“Hey, why are you being like this?”

“….”

Even though he was alive, he was cold.

Probably because the temperature in the aquarium is low.

“…is it okay?”

“Is that true? “How many times am I saying this?”

“You can’t run.”

“You can run on my back.”

“okay.”

“…don’t be soft.”

I know it means asking you to step down.

In fact, they were in a position to protect two kindergarten students. If Park Da-hoon and Park Da-young die in the middle, Song In-myeong will use the two children as bait without mercy. And then he will run away alone. So Park Da-hoon, who has quick feet and good physical strength, had to protect the kindergarten students.

Moreover, Da-hoon Park owed a great debt to kindergarten students. You may not remember those children, but Park Da-hoon killed them with his own hands. It was for the trivial reason that I wanted to move on to the next episode.

Only by protecting kindergarteners from these crazy fish will we be able to repay the minimum amount of debt. That will happen, but…

“…I won’t back down.”

It’s not a bad thing to put your family among the people you want to protect.

That’s not such a bad thing, Park Da-young.

“….”

“….”

Make eye contact for a moment.

Just when I thought my sister’s eyes had turned purple, she opened her mouth.

“it’s okay.”

“….”

“What a disgusting thing.” “Take care of the kids, Park Da-hoon.”

Park Da-young knew that he owed his heart to the kindergarten students, and he also knew that he could not entrust Song In-myeong with those children.

In the end, the two children had to be taken care of by Park Da-hoon, who is strong and quick-footed, and he did not have the resources to help Park Da-young.

Everything she said was right. It was the right decision.

“Our teacher Song In-myeong will carry me on my back. “Right?”

In the end, Park Da-young asked the killer for help again with a smiling face.

“what? You fucking treat me like this? “Your younger brother said he would take care of it, but why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

“If I do well this time, I will persuade the survivors to go to the aquarium and hang out with you.”

“…I was going to stick with you even if you didn’t persuade me.”

“Then let’s escape and have dinner with you.”

“Deal. Please tell me right away. “I will take you safely, customer.”

It was too light a conversation to be having in the air filled with the smell of blood.

Park Da-hoon was able to roughly read the thoughts of those two. In order to get Song In-myeong’s help, Park Da-young had to walk away from the meal with Song In-myeong, and Song In-myeong wanted assurance from Lee Jae-heon that he could receive compensation for helping them.

There was no room for Park Da-hoon to intervene.

“….”

Park Da-young’s judgment in refusing Park Da-hoon’s help was objectively correct. It was wise to have Park Da-hoon play the kindergarten student and Park Da-young play Song In-myeong.

So I just laughed.

“…I think you two have become very close.”

“What kind of nonsense is that now?”

“Dahun, you are talking nonsense.”

“Why is that right?”

I was a little grumpy.

Because there was nothing Park Da-hoon could do other than supporting Park Da-young’s right judgment.

That’s right, it’s just that things in the world don’t go the way you want them to. It was a fact I learned at a young age that being foolish doesn’t solve everything and that being stubborn can actually cost you more.

“I think there was a cafe in the hallway connecting here. How about I go get my leg treated?”

“It looks like a monster is chasing me… but I guess I can’t keep moving like this. Yeah fuck. Get on your back. “If it’s a space the size of a cafe, there might be something to defend for a while.”

In the end, Song In-myeong carried Park Da-young. Both of them had blood dripping at their feet, but no one complained about it.

That’s why Park Da-hoon also swallowed the complaint that was on the tip of his tongue.

“…I hope the smell of blood doesn’t spread too far…”

He muttered something meaningless and grabbed the hands of the two kindergarteners again.

“….”

I missed you.

‘…I’m tired.’

We have no intention of complaining unnecessarily when things are difficult, but we also say, ‘It’s natural for young children to complain.’ They needed Lee Jae-heon, who stayed silently by their side as they had not yet become adults.

I also thought I could understand why Jeong In-ho treated Lee Jae-heon as his talisman.

“Are you okay, Park Da-hoon?”

“are you okay.”

All we can say is ‘It’s okay.’

Because Lee Jae-heon is the only one who can deny that…

* * *

And back at the concert hall, Lee Jae-heon’s point of view.

“….”

Lee Jae-heon blinked as he looked at the files that were tattered with bright red juice.

“…Oh, this….”

I’m going to go crazy if I keep thinking about it.

‘I don’t fit in with the aquarium more than I thought.’

The dark blue and humid air made Lee Jae-heon’s heart pound every time he took a breath, and the bloody smell that reached his sensitive sense of smell continued to stimulate Lee Jae-heon’s brain. It would have been nice if it had been a good stimulus and energized me, but it was difficult to expect that from the behind-the-scenes world.

The fatigue Jaeheon Lee felt while inserting a knife into the colorful files that were fluttering and refusing to die and separating their bones and flesh was beyond imagination.

‘…Even though the prototype’s personality may have become stronger, the fact that I now feel repulsed by the sight of blood must be some kind of curse imposed by this monster or the environment itself. It’s probably a similar type of curse to the bitten hand that still bleeds.’

I thought it was probably a curse that made me feel double the guilt or discomfort that comes from killing a living creature.

Jaeheon Lee looked down at the remains of disembodied files.

“….”

“Chief?”

“…Huh….”

I felt a bit dizzy.

“…the key came out.”

Still, I have to say something.

Regardless of the fatigue he felt, the viper’s personality was becoming stronger. In other words, the behavior of a poisonous snake emerged unconsciously.

Even though he was in a daze, Lee Jae-heon wanted to share information with Jeong Eun-woo, whom he recognized as a fellow teammate.

Only then will an efficient attack be possible.

“Each file had a key on its body. If you touch it even slightly with a knife, it will oxidize, so unfortunately I will have to get another red file. “The degree of corrosion for each key is different, so it seems like each key has a different purpose… Then there will be a use for the key in the red file as well.”

“If it were a key, would it be able to open six locked doors?”

“If that happens, the question remains as to what the other key will be used for…”

According to Eunwoo Jeong, out of the 12 doors in total, 6 are open. They had already checked that there were no monsters in the first, second, and third rooms, but that there were monsters in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms.

‘Actually, the only room without monsters is the second kitchen where I am now, so Eunwoo Jeong’s report is wrong, but anyway, that’s separate from that. If it is true that a total of 7 keys, including the key in the red file, are used to open the door, then what is the remaining key used for?’

Lee Jae-heon, who was blinking slowly, let out an exclamation.

“ah.”

“…Boss?”

“Jung Eun-woo.”

Jaeheon Lee gave instructions to Eunwoo Jeong.

“Isn’t there a door to the souvenir shop here?”

Yes. The exit of this aquarium is by stopping at the last space, the souvenir shop. The main character in the original story also tried to head to the exit beyond the souvenir shop, but the door was blocked, so he gave up going that way, but the door to this souvenir shop was at the 12 o’clock position of the concert hall.

Jeong Eun-woo also nodded, probably thinking of him.

“Yes, there is.”

“Please go and check.”

Even without a subject, Jeong Eun-woo understood that it meant ‘Check if there is a lock or something that can be used as a key’ and immediately followed Lee Jae-heon’s instructions.

Lee Jae-heon, who was fiddling with the keys inside the kitchen, heard Jeong Eun-woo’s voice from far away.

“I checked the lock.”

“Oh, as expected.”

I’m telling you, please describe the main character bastard properly.
