Episode 578
Jeong Eun-wooâs reaction was quite intuitive.
âuh? what? What do you really see?â
Jeong Eun-woo nodded to Seo Jang-hwaâs question.
âI see your number.â
ânumber?â
âItâs number 19 right now.â
ââ¦now?â
âNow itâs number three.â
âSay it so I can understand what youâre saying.â
âIt is difficult to know by what principle the change is taking place.â
ââ¦.â
Seo Jang-hwa, who had difficulty understanding Jeong Eun-wooâs words, looked at the map but could not find any significant changes. I couldnât figure out where the numbers were floating around.
âThen it looks like thereâs something that only people with wetsuit certification can see.â
By then, Jeong Eun-woo must have finished organizing his thoughts and opened his mouth.
ââ¦Do you know that it is a magic eye?â
âhuh?â
âOr a color blindness test sheet.â
ââ¦Arenât these materials not very related?â
âI donât know if I can explain it this way, but it feels similar to those two things. âIn the sense that those who can see are seen.â
ââ¦.â
âYou can see hidden numbers behind the 29 circles within the Sea Treasure Hall section of the map. âIt has a light gray color, but the numbers keep changing and itâs not consistent.â
âWhat now?â
âWeâre talking 16 now. âI donât think the circles are pointing exactly to the location of the treasure chest.â
âUhâ¦â
Seo Jang-hwa frowned.
âWhat the fuck are you asking me to do then?â
Isnât this a situation that can be solved just by showing numbers?
It was correct that there were 29 treasure chests in the Sea Treasure Hall. It was clear that the number Eunwoo Jeong was looking at was the number of the winning box. But there was no other information.
âI know what the order will be.â
I wouldnât have known if the treasure chest had a number tag like 1, 2, 3, etc. But that wasnât the case now. In a situation where you couldnât even tell where number 1 came from, the treasure chest wasnât even listed on one side.
âTreasure chests are on both sides of the Sea Treasure Hall hallway.â
If so, is it a box beyond the left wall or a box beyond the right wall? Are the numbers listed in order from 1 to 29 correct? If so, there is no way to know where number 1 starts and where the last number ends.
ââ¦Any other hints? âItâs a bit difficult to find the treasure chest with just this amount.â
âUnfortunately, I donât see any further hints than this.â
Han Do-yoon stepped forward.
âThen is there any possibility that there are other hints hidden in the Sea Treasure Hall? Even if you didnât find anything unusual when you came, there might be a hint beyond the walls of the Sea Treasure Hall.â
âThatâs right. âI havenât checked there yet.â
However, Park Min-junâs opinion was negative.
ââ¦I didnât find any such hints even in the last episodeâ¦â
He would keep it quiet since it would be like revealing that he was a possessor and a returnee, but in his view, it was clear that there were no additional hints in this aquarium. If there was such a thing, the anomaly would have been discovered when the treasure chest search was conducted in the previous episode.
Even if there was a hint that Jung Eun-woo or Park Min-jun could not find, it was a problem. This is a hint that the two, who are confident in their observation skills as natural subordinates, were unable to find. In what time period would you find it and save Park Da-hoon?
âI guess Iâll catch the kid in the meantime.â
Therefore, Park Min-jun saw Kim Ki-jeong.
âHey, Mr. Kim Ki-jeong.â
ââ¦yes yes?â
âCanât you hear anything else?â
âSound? No, I donât think thereâs a monster coming.â
âNot that one.â
Kim Ki-jeongâs hearing ability was such that his wife recognized it as a cheat.
âI asked because I was curious about whether there was a sound that would make me feel a meaningful change inside the Sea Treasure Museum.â
âHow can I hear something like thatâ¦â
âI heard you hear wellâ¦?â
ââ¦.â
Kim Ki-jeong was disgusted by Park Min-junâs bizarre request, but he soon showed an expression of agreement, probably because he was aware of the increasingly bizarre hearing in the other world.
Kim Ki-jeong stood at the entrance of the Sea Treasure Hall, taking a quick look at the survivors who were having a heated discussion.
ââ¦Hmmâ¦.â
Kim Ki-jeong gently touched the wall of water that filled the inside of the Sea Treasure Hall.
ââ¦.â
âCan you hear something?â
âJust stay still.â
Kim Ki-jeong, who shook off Park Min-jun with a sharp tone, probably because he had become sensitive from concentrating on the sound, stood like a stone for a while and then slowly opened his mouth. His expression was as if he had heard something.
ââ¦I can hear a gurgling sound.â
âGurgling sound?â
Do-yoon Han, who was watching Kim Ki-jeongâs actions, approached.
âWhat exactly do you mean?â
âShould I say itâs the sound of moving water⦠Itâs rumbling and a little crazy.â
âItâs so full of water that you canât move at all, right?â
âThatâs not what it sounds likeâ¦?â
Kim Ki-jeong, who hesitated, spoke to Do-yoon Han.
âIâll come back in a moment.â
ââ¦Kim Ki-jeong?â
âI think you have to go inside to hear it.â
âKim Ki-jeong?!â
There were times when Kim Ki-jeong became brave in strange places.
âand.â
Park Min-jun was impressed.
âWhat is the point that this guy is talking about?â
In the last episode as well, when Do-yoon Han casted âYou and I, deathâ, it was Kim Ki-jeong who headed into the arms of the monster Jeong Eun-woo, saying âHow dare you?â And Park Min-jun knew that people who were usually so timid but often turned around like that were more difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Kim Ki-jeong did not stay in the water for very long.
âI hear sounds in turns.â
âWhat does that mean? Or rather, what should I do if I declare it right away and go to a dangerous placeâ¦!â
âYou little one, stay still, Iâm talking to you right now!â
âUgh, thatâs too muchâ¦!â
aha.
Park Min-jun realized this.
âHeâs the type of person who gets his pride hurt when heâs worried about someone younger than him, so heâs doing that.â
Actually, a man in his 30s who was worried about a young man in his 20s would have his pride hurt.
âI also have a strong desire to make sure that I can help in this way.â
In the behind-the-scenes world, Kim Ki-jung was generally in the weakest position. Maybe thatâs why he was usually protected when he was protected by others, but there were only a few situations where he could help, but when he judged that he could be helpful to his teammates, he seemed to have a tendency to just go out of his way.
Whether Han Do-yoon was whining or not, Kim Ki-jeong continued talking.
âSo what Iâm saying is that I can hear the sound alternating between the left wall and the right wall. âIt feels like turning on a faucet going back and forth from both sides.â
Park Min-jun intervened.
âDid you hear exactly which box the sound was coming from?â
âBecause itâs underwater, itâs okay⦠I think youâll be able to tell the difference better if you hear it through the air.â
In response to Kim Ki-jeongâs answer, Jeong Eun-woo said as if it went well.
âThen Kim Ki-jeong, please go up with us.â
ââ¦Are you going up? âWhere?â
âThe top of the long, narrow hallway in the Sea Treasure Hall is not a tight ceiling. âAs you may have seen, Mr. Kim Ki-jeong, didnât you confirm that if you swim all the way up the hallway, you can move beyond the glass wall of the hallway?â
âNo, yes, thatâs right.â
âSo, Mr. Kim Ki-jeong, you can go with us.â
ââ¦.â
Kim Ki-jeongâs face turned white as he imagined himself swimming on the dark surface of the water for a moment.
âIâm going to suffocate.â
âI will help you.â
âHow can you help me? They say I donât have enough lung capacity. Are you going to get me an oxygen tank somewhere?â
âIf you need artificial respiration, we will do that.â
âeww.â
Kim Ki-jeong was truly disgusted.
âno, I do not want.â
âYou are resolute.â
ââ¦.â
He said he didnât like it, but this time, Kim Ki-jeong was worried.
âWell, I will never receive artificial respiration from Jung Eun-woo, butâ¦â
Kim Ki-jung joined anyway for the sake of the treasure box team.
âI think it will definitely help, but itâs a bit difficult to pull it back.â
In the end, Kim Ki-jeong sighed and nodded.
ââ¦No, Iâm going. âBy then, I will be able to hear the sound more clearly.â
âArtificial respirationâ¦.â
âI will sue.â
âWhat kind of crime is that?â
âfraud. Threat. Defamation.â
âI will be careful.â
Jung Eun-woo seemed really happy when he answered like that. Kim Ki-jeong was even more disgusted by that sight, and Seo Jang-hwa gave him a disapproving look. It was nice to go from a machine to a human, but the lively Jeong Eun-woo had a somewhat unpleasant side.
Seo Janghwa thought to himself.
âNo, itâs funny, it was always like that.â
After becoming a human being, isnât it a case of showing off a more upgraded sense of sass?
ââ¦I can roughly guess from whom Jeong In-ho learned his strange hatred.â
Oh my gosh, the blood between uncle and nephew is this deep. Because of the way they did things and the way they looked, anyone who saw them would think they were father and son.
âThen I guess we need someone to help Mr. Kim Ki-jeong.â
âMe?â
âI do not remember? Kim Ki-jeong, even when passing through the underwater world, he was dragged by us because he had limited lung capacity. âNow why donât you come and be surprised again?â
ââ¦.â
âItâs okay. People may be a bit weak.â
Kim Ki-jeong was moved.
âItâs not that Iâm weak, itâs that you are extremely healthy⦠Iâm the average modern person.â
âThen letâs say that.â
âIâm not saying thatâs the caseâ¦.â
âWe are recruiting party members to help Mr. Kim Ki-jeong.â
Han Do-yoon raised his hand before Park Min-jun could feel a sense of déjà vu.
âI canât miss a party like this. A beautiful firefighter in his 20s is participating.â
âAre you crazy? Does this sound like a feast? Why is this a feast?â
âOkay, if Jeong Han Do-yoon is the one, then a fresh and lively art student in his 20s will also participate.â
âNo, are you all crazy??â
Kim Ki-jeong was completely ignored.
ââ¦.â
ââ¦.â
Looking at them, Garam Yoon quietly picked up Fitz, who was lying on the floor.
âIâm glad everyone is in good spirits.â
âKeuâ¦.â
âRight?â
Fitz had a lot to say, but he seemed to be holding back.
Garam Yoon and Minjun Park decided to wait outside the Sea Treasure Hall in preparation for any unexpected situation.
âBecause we need reserve power to respond if something happens inside.â
âI think weâll need at least two spare forces⦠so Iâll stay too.â
Just like that, Kim Ki-jeong was caught by Seo Jang-hwa and Do-yoon Han and dragged to the surface.
âSave the personâ¦.â
âYou saved the personâs life. âWhy is this so sad?â
âIâm so sad. âDoyun is going to cry.â
âYou devilsâ¦â
Jeong Eun-woo, who came to the surface first and was leaning against the thick glass wall, grinned.
âBut wouldnât you hate it if I did artificial respiration?â
âYouâd rather kill me.â
âThis time Iâll be accused of murder.â
âBad bastardsâ¦.â
It seems that the Sea Treasure Hall was too much of a challenge for Kim Ki-jeong, who had limited lung capacity. Han Do-yoon felt sorry for the flower pot that had become shabby after drinking seawater.
âShould I make him exercise too?â
âhelp me.â
The result of that pity may never be the kind that Kim Ki-jeong hopes for.
Seo Jang-hwa and Han Do-yoon laid Kim Ki-jeong, who no longer had the strength to swim, face down on the glass wall. Then, each of them took up either side of Kim Ki-jeong, and for a moment, Jeong Eun-woo thought of the criminal in the news who was caught by the police and dragged away by car.
Anyway, it was Seo Jang-hwa who opened his mouth first.
âSo what can you hear now?â
âGive me some time to breathe and askâ¦â
âThen are you breathing with carbon dioxide?â
âThis is why I canât communicate with people who exerciseâ¦.â
âSo, you, try your hand at ironing. The world will change.â
âThe behind-the-scenes changes are enough to change the world. More than thatâ¦â
Kim Ki-jeong, who was taking a deep breath, frowned a moment later and said.
ââ¦It seems like the sound⦠changes every five seconds.â
Jeong Eun-woo, who was looking at the map, opened his mouth.
âWhat a coincidence. âThe numbers are changing at exactly 5-second intervals.â
âThen we can assume that this is the sound of the winning box changing⦠right?â
âI guess so.â
Eunwoo Jeong saw Kim Kijeong.
âSo where does number 1 start? I think you need to know the order first so you can open the corresponding box when the number appears.â
ââ¦.â
âConductor Kim Ki-jeong?â
ââ¦Thatâ¦â
Kim Ki-jeong continued, speechless.
âItâs over there now.â
2nd position from the left on the left wall of box 8.
âItâs over there now.â
8th position from the left on the right wall of box 11.
âAnd now over thereâ¦â
Position 4 on the left side of the wall on the right side of box 27.
ââ¦.â
ââ¦.â
ââ¦Oh shit.â
Seo Jang-hwa clicked his tongue.
âItâs a game of wit.â
So, I had to remember the locations and numbers of a total of 29 boxes.
