Chapter 279
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 279:
The possessed person assured that Han Do-yoon would die.
âI read that too, sirâ¦your wife wrote it. âThatâs it.â
âso?â
âI also know that that bastard named Han Do-yoon is a firefighter. No, of course I know because Iâm wearing those clothes in the first place. âWhatâs important is that she probably has trauma related to the fire.â
The possessed person muttered while holding the iron club tightly.
âHeâs a character from the world she wrote, so of course he has that kind of past.â
âWhat do you want to say?â
ââ¦Heâs going to die. I couldnât kill it myself, but Iâm sure it will die. âThe concept of the place I was taken to was a fire accident⦠I would lose my senses and die in a panic.â
âOh, I see.â
âBecause Iâm weak.â
I could see the other personâs hands shaking. Looking at his tattered body, which was so tattered that it would not be surprising even if he were dead, it seems that he must have had a hard time surviving the secret world with an untrained body. Considering that, it was hard to understand why he was in such a state of death, so Lee Jae-heon tilted his head.
Meanwhile, the possessed person was fluttering.
âItâs because Iâm weak.â
It looks like heâs having trouble breathing.
âIf you do well, the other idiots you have gathered will also die. chick? Thatâs right, chick. You called me that every time. All the chicks you care about will die. The place where Han Do-yoon was kept is on the 8th floor, and if he goes up there, he will collapseâ¦â â
What is the conclusion?â
âPlease die, Captain. âIf you want to save them, you have to die at least once anyway.â
âYou know that when I die, I will regress. âOkay, who told you that?â
âPlease dieâ¦.â
âFirst of all, he wonât be friendly to me.â
What is certain is that there is someone who instigated this tiring situation, but it is difficult to expect that such a person will be friendly to you.
âEven so, the problem isâ¦â
Who is the entity that turned this bastard into a possessor?
âAre you a writer?â
Jaeheon Lee blinked, remembering the woman in his dream. I couldnât remember exactly what she said to me, but it was clear that she had control over much of the world of this novel. Since she was the one who brought up the topic of reincarnation, there was quite a possibility.
âI donât want to die here. You know, Captainâ¦â
âWhat?â
âA death like this is so trivial. âI donât want to die without a name.â
However, it could not have been the author who encouraged the possessed person to âkill Lee Jae-heon.â Basically, the writer was on Lee Jae-heonâs side. The author may have ordered the possession, but it must have been someone with hostility towards Lee Jae-heon who determined the possessorâs behavior.
why?
âI forgot my name too, what happened?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPlease save meâ¦.â
Or rather, why?
ââ¦I donât want to die at the hands of this bastard.â
The possessor was obsessed with Jae-heon Leeâs death and was obediently leading Jae-heon Lee to be killed by him. Considering that he even knew that he would return when he died, there would definitely be a penalty for Lee Jae-heon if he died at his hands.
I donât know what kind of penalty it is, but itâs probably a gift bad enough to cause trouble.
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heon, who was wondering what to do, opened his mouth.
ââ¦Who sent you here?â
It would be a good idea to dig up more information.
âIâm curious. I think one person came last time, but he died before we could meet him, so we couldnât talk to him. âWhy on earth did you come here?â
âI didnât come because I wanted to. Captain, you know why I come to a place like this⦠I really hate that woman⦠There is no way I would want to come to a world created by a woman like that.â
No, but this guy.
âIt keeps getting on my nerves.â
When you look at your bossâs wife and say âthat womanâ, what kind of countryâs etiquette is this? I couldnât be angry because I had to be coaxed to get the information, but I was upset. Yes, that bastard has strangely disliked the author since long ago.
As I was hiding my dark expression well, the possessed person continued speaking.
âFuck, fuck. âI donât know either⦠I really donât know.â
âWas our friend that incompetent?â
ââ¦is that me?â
Jaeheon Lee twisted his lips slightly.
âHow can you be so stupid?â
Even though that guy had his own reasons for attacking me, the fact that he didnât rush to kill me as soon as I saw him means that he must have been on good terms with him, considering they had a relationship in a previous life. Are you doubting your abilities? It was clear that this would shake the spirit of the possessed person who was already in a state of panic.
As expected, the possessed person turned white and pursed his lips.
âNo no no⦠I know. Of course I know thatâ¦â
âIâm disappointed.â
ââ¦and the manager.â
manager.
âThis time, the manager chose me, but when I came to my senses, I found myself hereâ¦â â
â¦Huh.â
I never thought I would hear that name here.
âNo, maybe I knew but just pretended not to know.â
In the world of past lives, there were people who were called agents of God. They had the ability to manipulate the raw fate given by God and give it to humans, and among them, one called âAdministratorâ was able to openly manipulate humans.
There were two methods he mainly used. First, literally controlling humans as if they were game characters. Or the secondâ¦
âHas he come into your body?â
Or get possessed.
âHeâs a guy who doesnât have anything to do. âIf itâs enough to fit into the body of someone like youâ¦â
âItâs not like that. âYou donât know, Captain, but that bastardâs qualifications have been revoked and heâs been running around getting attacked here and there these days.â
âThis is something unexpected again.â
There is no way God would abandon that guy.
ââ¦Anyway, I roughly understand what the situation is.â
The first stage manager ran away and was possessed by the cub in front of him.
In the second stage, the writer possessed the entire manager and host as extras in a 19-year-old impoverished survivor.
Through some kind of 3-step method, the manager escaped and only this bastard remained.
âAnd step 4.â
The manager informed him that in order for the remaining possessed to return to the original world like the manager, he had to kill Lee Jae-heon. The possessed person, whose mind and body are in tatters, tries to kill Lee Jae-heon in order to survive. Perhaps Jaeheon Lee knew that he would come back to life, so he embraced his life so easily.
âWhat should I do? âYou donât want to die easily, do you?â
âWhy, boss? Itâs an easy task⦠Captain, youâve done that a lot on a regular basis. Why why? Please die just once. Just this onceâ¦.â
âYou seem really out of your mind.â
If you think a little, you would guess that Lee Jae-heon would receive a huge penalty, but it seems that the shock of having his name taken away and being included in the writings of a woman he disliked was great. Seeing as how he canât even think about that.
Jaeheon Lee laughed lowly.
âThis is so much fun.â
I got a feeling. Lee Jae-heon is caught between the manager and the writer, and his back is hurting. Both of them are probably touching this world, going in and out, doing unknown things to achieve their own goals. Lee Jae-heon, who suddenly became a reincarnated person, felt aggrieved even though he did not know who did it.
âWell, even soâ¦â
Lee Jae-heon is probably on the writerâs side.
ââ¦Then letâs do it like this.â
Lee Jae-heon, who had erased his smile, calculated the distance to the angry voices coming from him. Although there were no proper combatants among those remaining in the shelter, the possessed person was unable to kill an opponent with a ânameâ, so Ha Seong-yoon and Munsangun alone were enough to have a good chance of victory.
âI donât want to die, but itâs simply a matter of pride. On the other hand, for you, whose name is unknown, your survival is at stake. âIsnât that right?â
ââ¦yes yes. thatâs right.â
âWe canât come to an agreement right away, and you donât know when you might die. So listen. Survivors are approaching. What did you learn to do when opinions differ like this? âWhat do you think is the only option left?â
ââ¦.â
An embarrassed look of joy appeared on the possessorâs face.
ââ¦Suppress.â
âyes.â
âStart.â
At the same time as those words were said, the possessed person rushed towards me with an iron club and boom! Jaeheon Lee laughed again, blocking it with his arm.
I felt refreshed by the sense of freedom I felt after meeting someone I could communicate well with after a long time.
âAha haâ¦!â
Yes, it should be like this.
âI learned it really well.â
âthank you.â
âIâm so proud of you.â
You have to be this selfish to be human.
Suddenly, he realized that this exhilaration was dulling his rationality, but his hesitation was erased by the opponentâs skill in striking him down with an iron club. Lee Jae-heon, who turned his body to avoid the attack, grabbed the opponentâs arm and cracked the joint with his other arm, narrowing his eyes.
Both were dying and both were out of their minds.
ââ¦Then who will die firstâ¦?â
Lee Jae-heon prepared to commit suicide if the situation arises.
Even if he is not possessed, if Han Do-yoon dies, it would be better to return anyway.
* * *
Han Do-yoon liked people.
This does not mean that you only see the good things in others or that you obediently accept them. Just that noisy atmosphere when like-minded people gather together. The lightness of small but lively conversations accompanied by laughter. The candid stories that come out when you relax and enjoy a drink while enjoying the fresh air. I liked things like that.
However, fundamentally, Han Do-yoon was not a good man willing to sacrifice himself for others. I couldnât easily say things like dying for someone or something like that.
ââ¦Iâ¦â
Nevertheless, Han Do-yoon became a firefighter to save people.
âI want youâ¦â
Squeakâ¦
ââ¦Iâm sorry.â
Therefore, he was an infinitely smaller sinner in front of the person he could not save.
If there was a child in front of him, blackened and as thin as a tree branch, even if it were a hallucination, it would have made Han Do-yoon sad. Even the hand squeezing his leg didnât hurt at all, so he looked pitiful. There was no way I could be angry at such a monster.
âIâm sorryâ¦â
Even if it meant trapping him in the fire, how could he be angry?
âYou were wrong.â
Han Do-yoon sat down on the heated floor. I donât know what the monster was doing, but the fire grew stronger and pitch-black smoke filled the room, but I couldnât find the strength to run away. I realized that I was so shaken up that I didnât even make a foolish attempt to escapeâ¦
âI wonât do thatâ¦â
Ugh. eww.
âIt was wrong, I wonât do that. âI wonât run away.â
Wow.
âIâll be with youâ¦â
I couldnât muster up the courage to run away.
Although Han Do-yoon was not a very sacrificial person, he was a firefighter who saved lives. How can he run away when there is a burnt and withered child in front of his eyes? That was so cruel. Han Do-yoon could not have been such a cruel person.
âWe can just stay together.â
He hugged the monster that was scratching him in his arms.
His skin, dry and crunchy as charcoal, and his bony limbs attacked him with great effort, but he didnât feel any pain. It was such a weak and insignificant power. Han Do-yoonâs face gradually became distorted.
ââ¦Why did Iâ¦â
Thereâs no reason to be so stupid, so you can just run away. I couldnât come to my senses due to the guilt gnawing at my heart. He didnât even create this monster. Even though there was no one who didnât save me.
His vision became blurry.
âWhy do I have to be like this⦠why.â
Kiyiyiâ¦.
âWhy are you really doing this to me?â
Shallow resentment turns into tears and falls.
I wish this had never happened in the first place. It would have been nice if Han Do-yoon, who knows how to take care of himself, couldnât overcome his conscience and did something stupid like this before the whole world was at peace and everyone was happy. Before he knew it, the fact that this situation was caused by a monster was erased from Han Do-yoonâs mind.
When you are just gasping in endless sadness, pain, and misery.
ââ¦.â
Ugh.
ââ¦uh?â
I heard something.
â-â¦Seed!â
âUhâ¦.â
âMr. Han Do-yoon!â
A person came in through the hot door with the sound of urgent footsteps.
âHey you damn bastard! âIf I call you, answer quickly!â
ââ¦Kim Ki-jeong.â
âUh huhâ¦? Huh? Are you crazy?! âThatâs a monster, you idiot!â
What on earth are you hugging? A frightened voice was heard.
Her clothes, which were usually neat enough to be considered obsessive, were a mess of dust and soot, and her hair, which would have been neatly slicked back, was a mess and covered in ash. Han Do-yoon looked at my face as thin, scared, and nervous as the monster I was holding in my arms, and softly cooed.
Ah really.
ââ¦.â
I didnât think this person would come to save me.
âWhat are you doing while possessed by a monster? âGet up and run away quickly!â
ââ¦Huhâ¦.â
ââ¦Are you crying? So why are you stuck in a place like thisâ¦!â
Iâm so grateful.
âKim Ki-jeongâ¦.â
âOh, donât cry, reallyâ¦! âI have to get out! Argh!â
âThank youâ¦â
This is why I like people.
Isnât this a world where even cowards like this come to save firefighters?
