Chapter 104

Episode 104

So, to summarize,

“Right before entering this world, I ran into the child and said that he was the same age as Jang Seo-ah, although I don’t know the child’s name or exact age.”

“….”

“I don’t remember the pants, but there was a boy wearing a white T-shirt and an adult next to him, but Teacher Lee Yun-byeol said he wasn’t trustworthy. Not only is his behavior bad, but there are also problems with common sense…”

There were exactly three points that made Lee Jae-heon’s astonishment.

‘Why do you trust me?’

The radar seems to be working well as it keeps glancing at the main character and a few others, but what does it mean that it doesn’t respond to Lee Jae-heon, who has actually killed tens of thousands of people? Although his plan went astray, he really didn’t know that Hong Gyeong-jun’s radar would also break down.

And the second.

‘Why are you an old and weak person?’

The guy who was originally an old villain recalled his past life and became an amazing piece of trash, but paradoxically, that was why Lee Jae-heon respected the elderly and the weak. Even if the simulation was run under all conditions and with all materials, any person in power would fall into ruin at some point the moment they touched the elderly or weak.

However, it was said that it was a child who fell into a remote place, and the detective was giving Lee Jae-heon an unreasonable belief, saying, ‘Of course you will help that child, right?’ I don’t know where or how this belief came from, but it was a situation I could never back out of.

And the third.

‘There wasn’t a person like that in the novel?’

The first and last child who appeared in the underworld of the 19+ poverty-stricken survival story was Jang Seo-ah, who is now wiggling her fingers in the arms of teacher Lee Yun-byeol. But now you have another child? Also, is there an adult next to him?

‘No matter how much I rolled the snowball, this…? Is it too harsh…?’

Lee Jae-heon knew his own way. Of course, it is said that the flapping of the wings of a very small butterfly can bring about a storm, but how much of a butterfly can do that?

Although it exists in the other world, if it did not appear in the novel, it would mean that it is dead, but the fact that it saved two lives that should have died originally without even knowing it is difficult to explain. It was just so confusing.

‘Or was there a description of seeing a child’s body?’

Most of the monsters in the other world left behind corpses unless they swallowed them completely. Since the protagonist, the narrator, pursues goodness, he would have been quite shocked if he had seen the child’s corpse. Even though he wandered around for a while until the end, there was never a mention of seeing the child’s corpse. Except for Jang Seo-ah.

No, that’s right. I’ve done a lot of things, so it’s not that I don’t understand it at all, but…

“…Then shouldn’t we look for it now?”

Lee Jae-heon quickly put a look of crude worry on his face.

What is a ruined plan and what is frustration? Regardless of how the original novel progressed, Lee Jae-heon had to live anyway. Now that things have gotten this far, it’s time to say, ‘I’m actually a prospective criminal!’ ‘You’re a bastard who can kill someone at any time!’ I couldn’t take the same stance.

‘Apart from that, we need to instill some new caution, but the timing is not good right now.’

There is an image that has been built up until now, and that image has been faithful respect for the elderly. There were limits to the actions Jaeheon Lee could show in the current situation.

The detective took Lee Jae-heon’s appearance as if it were very natural.

“You are right, but visibility is difficult and there are many injuries.”

“Then I guess I should take a look around…”

“I don’t think that’s what the most seriously injured person would say.”

“….”

Fuck, then why did you tell me?

Jaeheon Lee was dumbfounded. In his opinion, he was the one who would be most helpful among the survivors gathered now, so he naturally believed that Hong Kyung-jun’s intention in telling him this information was to seek cooperation.

However, there was one thing that Jaeheon Lee was missing.

“I heard from my grandmother that her physical condition is really serious. According to Kim Yeon-woo’s testimony, the number of injuries increased during that time. “Especially… the neck or something.”

“….”

“Did you say that a monster suddenly rushed in and the group was scattered? You were probably very tired from walking around looking for them. So, if possible, I don’t want to receive help from Jaeheon Lee.”

“Huh.”

To be honest, my pride was a little hurt.

‘If only I had the right skills, I wouldn’t have been treated like this.’

To sum it up roughly, ‘How dare you refuse my help?’ It was about that. Of course, Lee Jae-heon didn’t really have any intention of helping, but apart from that, I should say that he felt like his own value had been denigrated because he was rejected first. Anyway, I felt bad.

However, Lee Jae-heon quickly accepted that too.

‘This bastard probably didn’t say it maliciously.’

No matter how much he is a police officer, he is still a chick on a cushion, so I don’t really understand it, but he must have said it out of kindness.

Lee Jae-heon knows his own limitations, but other chicks don’t. Lee Jae-heon in his current state was confident that he could fly better than other guys with intact limbs, but he was probably saying this because he didn’t know that. If you look at it based on common sense from your past life, it’s something to ignore or ridicule, because it’s different here.

But then why on earth did you bring this up to me?

“Still, the reason I’m telling you this is… I don’t know if it’s rude to say it, but I wanted Jaeheon Lee to not do anything excessive.”

“…yes? “It’s too much.”

“I don’t know if I can tell you this, but Jaeheon Lee. hmm.”

Unfortunately, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun hesitated to answer.

“You seem to have a lack of safety awareness.”

“…What…”

Since his previous life was a past life, Lee Jae-heon also knew what safety insensitivity was. Isn’t it because they are not aware of safety accidents? And Jaeheon Lee was not insensitive to safety.

‘Fuck, there’s no one who can sense danger as well as me.’

The reason Lee Jae-heon got hurt so far was not because he didn’t feel danger, but because he stepped forward to solve the problem. It becomes a problem if the person who has to find out if there are traps around and lead the group has insensitivity to safety.

Therefore, the reason Lee Jae-heon felt bad about Detective Hong’s words was because his detection ability was ignored. Detective Hong, who was puzzled by his reaction, also guessed what he was thinking and made an ambiguous expression.

“Of course, I think Lee Jae-heon’s group survived well thanks to you. “I heard that other people were barely hurt.”

“Yes.”

“But the thing I was talking about… the insensitivity to safety. So…”

Detective Hong, who was pondering, spoke up.

“It was a question about my identity. “It’s not about how well you detect danger, but rather how much damage the incident will cause to you.”

“….”

“As proof, the fact that Jaeheon Lee is walking now is close to a miracle.”

There was nothing more to say about that.

‘…That’s true.’

Although he was so out of his mind that his concept was lost, there was no way Lee Jae-heon was unaware of his own condition. Still, in the beginning, I consistently used common sense from today’s life to make calculations, but as the time in the other world increased, my judgment became blurred.

In his previous life, Jaeheon Lee had near-perfect regenerative abilities, but not here. To be honest, feeling this constant external pain was unfamiliar to Lee Jae-heon. I think I was able to pay less attention because I was cursed or poisoned.

As he hesitated, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun sighed and continued.

“…I don’t know how you handled things in the past, but I don’t think it’s a good habit. “Didn’t the people around you say something in the first place?”

“There’s a reason to… um.”

“….”

“No, thank you for the advice.”

Detective Hong’s eyebrows rose, but they did not come into Lee Jae-heon’s field of vision. He was very concerned about a chick snooping around inside the dome watching us.

“Then why did you give me the information?”

“As I just said, the intention was for you to refrain from acting as much as possible. I think Lee Jae-heon would be able to easily tell that there is a problem with his senses….” “….”

“

In that case, there is a high probability that he will make a move, so I thought it would be better to just let him know in advance. “If possible, I hope Mr. Lee Jae-heon will not participate in saving the child.”

“…under.”

It was absurd.

‘What on earth do you believe in and act out like this?’

So, doesn’t it mean, ‘If you find out that your child is missing, you, being a good person, will naturally run away without fear, so exercise restraint?’ This was not something to say to Lee Jae-heon, who just wanted to enjoy wealth and fame while sitting on gold and silver treasures.

At this point, Lee Jae-heon even became suspicious. This is at best the second time he has met Detective Hong Gyeong-jun. Considering the time they spent together, it was even less, and Jaeheon Lee himself was not on his radar. I don’t know if it’s completely broken, but other people are carefully suspecting it.

Why am I doing this?

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

To put it in my own way, it was improbable, improbable. I’ve worked so hard to plan and rely on that radar, but now what if only a few areas are broken?

Around that time, Jaeheon Lee came up with a hypothesis.

“….”

“I’m sorry if my words sounded unpleasant, but Lee Jae-heon’s condition is not very good.”

“…It wasn’t unpleasant.”

If something improbable happens in reality, there is a clear medium within it.

“Isn’t this telling you to take care of yourself?”

And this was also a common cliché.

‘Overlap view.’

In this side world, there is nothing that strange.

Situations often arise where we overlap someone we remember and unconsciously ignore them even if there are differences. You come to see the other person as the person you remember.

But if there is a problem…

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon didn’t know the details of Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s past.

‘Because I’m not in a position to have a friendly conversation with the main character.’

All points of view in the novel take place from the main character’s point of view, and facts he does not know or misunderstand are depicted as they are in the book. This was usually used as a narrative trick when people were hallucinating and losing their sanity.

In the same vein, the protagonist could not have a very friendly conversation with Detective Hong Gyeong-jun. So, of course, I don’t know his past history, what happened or what connections he has.

Therefore, Jaeheon Lee doesn’t know either.

“….”

Who the fuck are you looking at me over?

Although he was shocked, Lee Jae-heon continued speaking with as calm a face as possible. It was because I was getting on my nerves because the bright yellow person was fidgeting and fidgeting because I couldn’t easily access the conversations they were having.

“Still… I can’t just not move. There is a group of people who are separated, but only I know where they are. “There is also one person who doesn’t know where he is.”

“Oh, I heard. “There is one doctor.”

“This person has an abdominal injury. You’ve endured well so far, but I don’t know what will happen when you’re left alone. “There is no time to hesitate.”

“That is true, but…”

Detective Hong Gyeong-jun, who was pondering, quickly nodded.

“So when are you planning to leave?”

“We will move as soon as visibility becomes clear.”

“Until then, please get as much rest as possible, Jaeheon Lee. “I repeat, it is a miracle that you are walking and talking now.”

“I’m sick of hearing it.”

“I’m sorry for repeating the story.”

Glancing.

Hong Gyeong-jun glanced at the brown-haired chick, gave a short nod and then walked away.

‘…I don’t know why you’re not wary of me because you’re overlapping with some guy.’

I was worried about how to keep my guard up if my plan went astray.

After completing the promise with the green algae monster, I was going to be wary anyway, but I was worried that Lee Jae-heon’s actions were so sudden that they seemed improbable.

Lee Jae-heon sighed and spoke to the brown chick.

“What is it?”

“….”

“…Oh no.”

This is employee Yeonhee Kwon.

“What? “Everyone is sleeping and snooping around here.”

“…But the manager isn’t sleeping either….”

“It’s not my fault that I can’t sleep.”

“Maybe it’s not completely wrong…? maybe?”

“Why are you doing this to me these days?”

I don’t know what part of Lee Jae-heon’s inner intimacy was felt, but these days, the number of extreme situations has been increasing significantly. It was a really sad and regrettable thing for Lee Jae-heon, who still has the soul of a third-rate old villain.

Nevertheless, I can’t sleep at night and my shoulders are shaking, so it seems like I have a lot to say.

“…Come on.”

“….”

“Let’s have a conversation, Kwon Yeon-hee.”

Jaeheon Lee had to call her.

It may not seem like it, but that guy is mentally broken right now.
