Episode 179
“Baby.”
“huh?”
“I think I’ll try writing a novel, so I’ll use their motif.”
“What are you going to write?”
“That’s popular these days.”
A laughing voice filled the room.
“Reincarnation of regression possession.”
“….”
“I will write you specifically as a reincarnated person.”
“Huh.”
“Why are you giving everything?”
* * *
Lee Jae-heon unconsciously wiped his face as he recalled what his wife had said about writing.
‘I was wondering why I couldn’t even see the reincarnation’s ‘ㅎ’ character in the text…’
Honey, people should be creative. If you put everything in just because it’s popular, you’re a failure. They put as many as three settings into one work, making it difficult to choose just one to write about. Being greedy is one of your charms, but why did you bring it all the way here?
Lee Jae-heon, who was trying hard to clear his head, sighed.
“…I roughly…understood.”
Although it is not yet certain, there is a strong possibility that Choi Min-hong’s guardian was a possessed person. This was a conclusion that could be made because Lee Jae-heon, who was reincarnated in a novel written by his wife, also felt sothing. Because so unknown system may have decided that people who were not born in this world are not ‘characters’.
‘If I had to really ask, the idea of a possessed person would be more persuasive than a return or reincarnation.’
Of course, he could be a reincarnation like Lee Jae-heon, or he could be a regressor, or it could be sothing else that he didn’t think of, but the fact that he was just a nobody cannot be explained by the story in the novel that Lee Jae-heon read, considering the testimonies of many survivors and the information gathered so far. There were too many things I didn’t do.
In particular, since Song In-myeong is a guy with a strong backing, he would not have given a clue to his identity to such an insignificant guy, so the fact that he knew about it from the beginning of the episode was absurd. It’s not probable, it’s probable.
‘But if you read the novel like , it also roughly explains why you knew Song In-myeong’s identity…’ I also
understand the situation in the last episode where Lee Jae-heon felt a particularly strong sense of discomfort when only the body disappeared as if it had been erased with an eraser. went and went I don’t know if a new monster has appeared, but as far as Lee Jae-heon knows, there has never been a monster that only eats pieces of at with a lot of blood sprinkled on top. It was even strangely clean. Most of them wanted to leave a trace of cruelty that was hard to see.
‘But if it disappeared so cleanly, it may have sothing to do with the fact that Choi Min-hong’s guardian was not treated as a character.’
And if that happens….
‘The question of whether March 1st is a holiday would have been in a similar context.’
Since the public holiday in this world is March 3, I received strange looks, but if the public holiday in my world was originally March 1, it would not have been understandable. Because that was the sa in the world of Lee Jae-heon’s past life. I still don’t know why the kindergarten teacher treated him like an asshole more than he should have, but he must have been acting like an asshole quite a bit.
In any case, the biggest reason why Lee Jae-heon assud him to be possessed was, of course, his mana. I said that much. At this point, I thought it was almost like spoon-feeding.
‘…If it was soone from the sa world, what are the odds that it would be soone I know…’
Lee Jae-heon, who put aside the thought that suddenly occurred to him, continued speaking naturally.
“In that case, it would be a good idea to talk to In-ho Jeong or Seong-yoon Ha.”
“By any chance, both of you…”
“It’s a little different from Kang Min-ah. Ha Seong-yoon got information because of his blue eyes, and Jeong In-ho… rembers every episode. As Kang Min-ah said, if you compare it to a novel, you could call it a returner.”
As he muttered in frustration, Kang Min-ah looked at him in surprise.
“Uh… you know that well.”
“What.”
“Sothing like a regressor. “Do you read fantasy novels or sothing?”
“…It’s not , is it? “I read what you said, but…”
Lee Jae-heon, who was rambling, answered.
“I learned about it thanks to soone who likes that kind of thing.”
That was just my wife in my past life.
‘Thanks to our house’s Mana, what trouble is this?’
I’m not sure if the possessed character was intentional, but no matter how much I thought about it, it seed like Lee Jae-heon’s reincarnation, the main character’s return, etc., the dark side of it all was his wife from his previous life. Sohow, the situations seed too cliché. Strangely, it revolves around .
‘Well, there was no reason for these guys to care about my well-being like this.’
That’s right, I already knew that you liked clichés. But I didn’t know it would bother this much…
Lee Jae-heon pressed his temple and continued.
“What was it like next ti?”
“What’s next?”
“I’m worried this might be a sensitive question, but I’m curious about how the person who looked exactly like Kang Min-ah behaved after President Yoon’s death. “Can you please answer?”
“Ah… yes that. are you okay.”
Kang Min-ah hesitated and answered.
“Because it doesn’t really feel like my job.”
“It’s a blessing in disguise.”
If he had truly experienced death, he might have gone out of his mind like Jeong In-ho.
‘Of course, even if that’s the case, it’s worth praising that it’s in such good condition.’
From Lee Jae-heon’s point of view, he was a talented person with the ‘possibility to adapt to the behind-the-scenes world’ that could be seen as having already been filtered out once. If Kang Min-ah had really been a dull and weak-hearted person like an ordinary resident of this world, she would have died without coming to her senses right after being eaten by the other world.
Kang Min-ah must have noticed Lee Jae-heon’s gaze and said with a shy face.
“It’s a strange thing to say, but it felt like I was watching a vivid horror play…”
“Not a movie, but a play?”
“It’s an audience-participatory play. Sotis there are events held in Daehakro. Have you been there? “The quality at Korea University is especially high.”
“I don’t really have any hobbies like that.”
“As you can see, it resonates much better than the movie. If you were to call it a movie, it feels like 4D…?”
“I understand what you an.”
It seed like he himself was frustrated with the gibberish.
“…I’m sorry. You gave a lot of ti, but I still don’t understand exactly what I’ve been through… Even though I said I was preparing, my words keep leaking out sowhere else.”
“That’s possible. it’s okay.”
“….”
For a mont, Kang Min-ah looked at Lee Jae-heon and made a strange expression. Looking at the muttering of his mouth, it seed like he was saying, ‘I wish the company would do this much, too.’ To be honest, it was unfair to Lee Jae-heon. If you guys had just handled things the way I wanted, would you have been so angry? Mr. Park, how arrogant are you in front of the manager?
As I was trying to pretend not to notice, Kang Min-ah wiggled her fingers and continued speaking.
“So… Mr. Garam Yoon, um. “After he died…”
Kang Min-ah stared into space as if recalling sothing far away. The head was facing slightly downward.
“The green algae monster chased us.”
“…Green algae monster?”
“Student Vivian was blocking it, but even that has its limits. The good news is that after President Garam Yoon passed away, the lights in the park gradually disappeared. Thanks to that, my body didn’t catch fire again, but the problem is…” “
…”
“After that… smoke was pouring out like crazy.”
Kuuk.
The hand holding the hamr went into strength.
“It’s a ridiculous expression, but it felt like a fairy tale.”
Contrary to what the word itself suggests, it did not have a very positive connotation.
“Leaves that had already burned to ashes co back to life, or the bark of trees that have been scorched by fire cos back to life with a glossy shine… Plants that seed to have lost all their moisture beco much more vivid than before. “It’s as sparkling as Boss Yoon’s eyes I saw the last ti…”
“Huh.”
“After it changed like that, smoke poured out imdiately. It cos from above and flows from below, that’s really it. “Really… just like the small lake we saw before…”
Kang Min-ah, who pursed her lips a few tis, continued.
“I was scared.”
It was a face filled with fear, but not that of soone consud by despair.
“That’s why Kang Min-ah thought I should save Teacher Ha Seong-yoon.”
“….”
“Only in that way can we all survive, and I think I can endure it…”
I don’t know if it was because of her mood, but Kang Min-ah’s eyes seed to be colored with an alien color for a mont.
“…is it so.”
If I had to be specific, it would be a dark blue, close to black.
‘Everyone is quite crazy.’
Even though he knew it wasn’t what he wanted to say, Lee Jae-heon was secretly impressed. I didn’t particularly want to know the other person’s level of arousal or trigger through a change in eye color, but I couldn’t help but be able to see it directly like this.
A strange feeling arose as if I had accidentally looked into my teenage daughter’s room without permission. I knew it, but the secret world was a place where privacy was not protected.
“….”
Well, it’s a place where survival is not guaranteed, so what about privacy?
“Then what happened to Ha Seong-yoon? “He said he thought he was dead.”
“…You really know.”
Kang Min-ah answered with an expression between fear, confusion, and joy.
“yes that’s right. I tried to leave the park right away, but the green algae monster was chasing and there was a lot of smoke… I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t see. “I thought I knew the way, so I took the lead, but Teacher Ha Seong-yoon couldn’t follow.”
“It looks like that guy is surprisingly lacking in stamina.”
“That’s not it. No, I don’t think so…”
Kang Min-ah, who had returned to her original black eyes, chose her words one by one.
“There were a lot of injuries and various other things before that. There was constant conflict with Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s team, and I wasn’t normal either… I know that Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho had a hard ti. “The high school siblings also seed anxious.”
wait for a sec.
“…How was Yeon-seok?”
“….”
“If Director Kang wasn’t in his right mind, our soft rocks wouldn’t have stayed still. “I don’t know exactly what happened then, but a guy who looked like an intern at Noh Yeon-seok…”
“We got into a fight.”
Kang Min-ah was unable to raise her head while fiddling with the hamr. The end of his voice was shaking like when he first told Jaeheon Lee about his dream, and his fingertips were pale. He was clearly shocked, but he seed determined not to make a fool of himself.
After biting her lip for a mont, she raised her face and t Lee Jae-heon’s eyes.
“Actually, we didn’t fight, it was a little because of .”
“It looks like you did sothing bad.”
“…It’s because of . Even though Kang Min-ah was in good spirits at the ti, Yeon-seok wouldn’t have been that angry, but the manager. “The image of him dying like that… it stayed in my mind.”
“Mr. Kang Min-ah.”
“I was acting foolish for no reason…”
“Kang Min.”
Lee Jae-heon carefully grabbed Kang Min-ah’s shoulder and gave a faint squeeze.
“That’s not you.”
“…But…”
“Why are you suddenly absorbed? They said it was all a play. “You were just a spectator, weren’t you?”
“….”
Kang Min-ah hesitated and nodded.
“sorry.”
A crying voice ca out.
“I just hated that the manager died.”
“…It’s not a big deal that I died….”
“Everything else doesn’t matter. It really felt like I was watching a play. However, I rember so vividly how the manager died and what his body looked like, that I can’t say that it wasn’t . “I don’t know why I’m doing this, but…”
“Breathe.”
“I’m sorry, Manager. really sorry. sorry. I wasn’t holding your hand at that ti. I should have fallen off the cliff on my own, but I was scared. I was so scared… “Because I don’t want to die…”
“Breath.”
Kuuk.
I gave strength to the hand holding my shoulder.
“Rest.”
“….”
“Minaya.”
After a short silence, she opened her mouth.
“…yes.”
Fortunately, Kang Min-ah was breathing properly again.
“…I’m sorry….”
“Oh please. “I feel like I’m going to put a scab on your ear, so stop.”
“I didn’t an to do this.”
After sniffling once, Kang Min-ah struggled to speak.
“…Yeonseok kept fighting with Vivian. “Actually, it’s a bit absurd to say we fought, and what can I say?”
“You can speak slowly.” “Yes,
that
….”
His wet eyes rolled and stared into space.
“…I mistreated you…?”
“…mistreatnt?”
That guy with a murderous face that looks like a killer, but the air around him is stronger than that of a large dog? What are you doing? Mistreatnt? How much does that squishy chick treat soone else? Do we even know the actual aning of the word ‘retaliation’ in the first place?
“…? …??”
“yes.”
As Lee Jae-heon did not hide his confusion, Kang Min-ah nodded.
“I don’t think it suits either. But at that ti, he had a really scary face. He looked at Vivian with a completely expressionless face and clearly recited about 18 reasons why Vivian should be detained… I couldn’t help but think that he wasn’t a Korean university student. “Please make sure to hire as a full-ti employee in the future.”
“This is crazy.”
“He was a friend of Song In-myeong, so the other survivors did not strongly refute him… Detective Hong Gyeong-jun actually welcod him. Kang Min-ah was so distracted at the ti that she didn’t think much of it, but she rembers Vivian becoming more and more helpless. “I used to be a quiet student.”
“Really crazy…”
I feel sorry for saying this to non-Korean college students, but I couldn’t imagine it at all.
“A little later, the two of them started hitting and fighting, and although they didn’t touch each other… Yeonseok’s expression didn’t clear up.”
“Am I the only one who doesn’t believe it?”
“It can’t be. So I asked Kang Min-ah too, and she seed to be aware that she was being grumpy for no reason. “If you ask if I regret it, I will say that I do regret it, but I would do the sa thing if I went back.”
“You said that to Kang Min-ah?”
“Well, he was just muttering while he was in my arms.”
“….”
That’s wrong.
‘It’s so bad, you little chick.’
If you act like that, will Kang Min-ah see you as a man or a boy? If he was hugged by Chief Kang Min-ah, who is already full of responsibility, and acted foolishly, no one could see that it was the latter. I was starting to start to doubt Noh Yeon-seok’s sincerity, whether he really wanted to date her.
As I was lanting for no reason, Kang Min-ah wiggled her hands and continued speaking.
“It would have been nice if the two of them could have had a proper conversation, but the atmosphere was getting worse and worse, and the green algae monster ca in… Student Vivian stopped the green algae monster as he heard, and Yeon-seok died while holding on to CEO Jeong-man Choi with In-ho Jeong. . “If you think about it, we haven’t been able to identify Jeong In-ho’s body.”
“…So what about Ha Seong-yoon?”
“He died right in front of the park entrance.”
I repeated it over and over again.
“Not right before the entrance, but right in front.”
“I heard Ha Seong-yoon died before he could escape.”
“No, of course he lost his mind… but he died after leaving the park. “He chuckled a few tis, sat down near the entrance, closed his eyes as if he was falling asleep, and passed away.”
“…I see…”
Lee Jae-heon sighed in relief at the sight of Kang Min-ah so calmly reciting the words that soone had died. Although progress was slow, it still seed like it would be possible to escape from being a chick to so extent.
After thinking, Jaeheon Lee asked.
“Then, Kang Min-ah.”
“…I…”
She blinked and answered.
“He died at the pharmacy.”
“…pharmacy?”
“Yes, and I saw sothing strange…”
His voice trembled.
“Are there ghosts here?”
perhaps.
“….”
“…there might be.”
Even Jaeheon Lee wasn’t sure about this.
Because he didn’t know how the souls of the dead were used here.
