Episode 480:
Perhaps because the underworld was explained from the beginning by comparing it to a ga-like dium, Jung Eun-woo did not find it strange at all when he was told, ‘You have to solve the puzzle to get a reward.’
‘Actually, if you look at it that way, the problem is that I didn’t even ask basic questions such as why I know so much about the underworld and what I do here… Anyway.’
He had adapted surprisingly well to the underworld.
“First, we need to think about the purpose of each room. The first was the pool, the second was the kitchen, and the third was where the file irons were located.”
“The purpose of the room is to keep swimming in order.”
“The reward you want to get is located in the third room, the filing cabinet, so their rainbow colors probably have sothing to do with the pool rather than the kitchen, right?”
“Then it would be right to stop by the pool first. If you get a clue from there, you will know where to go and what to do.”
And he and Lee Jae-heon were a good fit.
‘Yes, this is it.’
Lee Jae-heon felt a deep sense of satisfaction. The efficiency is on a completely different level from when I was with the chicks who were nagging and saying that this and that didn’t work. A clean exchange of information with no room for unnecessary sentints. An extraordinary sense of pleasure ca to Lee Jae-heon.
Jeong Eun-woo was more useful than Lee Jae-heon imagined. I felt a sense of security, as if I was working with teammates from my previous life. I felt like I wanted to gather all the other survivors in one place and just go around with this bastard.
“Do you want to go to the pool?”
“Oh wait. Before that…” After
Eun-woo Jeong asked about his intentions, Jae-heon Lee stopped by the kitchen again.
Ta-da, Jaeheon Lee got a kitchen knife.
“Fortunately, the. “They bring it out.”
“Are there cases where you cannot bring it with you?”
This ti it was a question that felt quite soulful. Eunwoo Jung probably thought that he needed to have this level of prior knowledge in order to do his job. Because it is a dangerous world full of monsters.
‘If it’s such an amazing reason, there’s no reason not to tell you.’
Jaeheon Lee nodded and answered.
“yes. If your items are restricted to that room, you may not be able to take them out of the restricted area. Or, there are tis when you can bring it out, but it is not usable or there are disadvantages to the user.”
“So, are you saying that the knife you just brought out could have side effects?”
“I hope that doesn’t happen, but usually when I want sothing like this, it goes the other way. “Once I can bring it out, I just hope that I can use it without any problems.”
If it were other chicks, they would have freaked out and taken the kitchen knife away as soon as they heard the story, but Jeong Eun-woo calmly agreed. He asked Jaeheon Lee.
“Wouldn’t it be easier if I tried it first and told you what I thought?”
“no.”
“All right.”
That was the end.
‘Isn’t this the true nature of a subordinate?’
Jaeheon Lee was satisfied once again.
This feeling of exhilaration, as if one’s body strength was suddenly going down. Freedom. Unless a superior gives instructions first, he or she does nothing other than give a simple opinion and simply follows orders in silence. It was truly Jaehee Lee’s ability as a secretary.
And Lee Jae-heon, who had let go of his personal feelings, imdiately judged the situation calmly.
‘You can’t undermine the ntal strength of such talented personnel… I knew there would be so side effects to this knife, so I passed it on. ‘I don’t know when I’m going to lose my mind, and there’s soone to protect on the other side, so Jung Eun-woo needs to remain as intact as possible.’
The aquarium was the worst stage for Lee Jae-heon. The compatibility was very bad. Lee Jae-heon, whose ntal strength was being deteriorated in real ti, would soon beco a worthless manpower.
‘No, it would be better if it was worthless.’
If he went crazy and actively interfered with the strategy, it would definitely be a problem.
At this point, Jaeheon Lee himself had no idea how he would go crazy. Will it be just a burden, or will it be an enemy, or will it turn into a monster?…
“….”
“Chief?”
Should I take so dicine in advance?
“Jung Eun-woo.”
“Say yes.”
“If I beco incapable of fighting, kill .”
“hmm.”
Jeong Eun-woo’s answer was quick.
“In that case, whose orders should I listen to next?”
“You can listen to the words of Park Da-young, a 19-year-old female student wearing civilian clothes. “I’ll tell you again later in case you forget.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As expected, it was a satisfactory response.
‘You don’t know how the situation will turn out, so it will be easier to tell in advance.’
Although I said this, Lee Jae-heon’s request would not have much effect, at least in this episode.
That’s why Jaeheon Lee was thinking that he would die first, and rather than who would survive first in this aquarium, the probability that both of them would die and that a regressor would erge from among the people outside was greater.
Therefore, there was a high possibility that Lee Jae-heon’s request would not be conveyed in the next episode. Nevertheless, the reason for making this aningless request was for the poor chicks who will die in this episode.
‘Isn’t this kind of affectionate?’
Jaeheon Lee smiled softly.
“Song In-myeong will be with the students. If he is a threat to the students, I would appreciate it if you could get rid of him.”
“All right.”
“Are you asking anything?”
“….”
Jeong Eun-woo asked with his characteristic neat expression.
“Can I understand that the director, who is incapable of combat, judged that he would pose a threat to the students on the sa level as Song In-myeong?”
“yes.”
“understand. thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
If we had to be specific, there would be a big difference between Lee Jae-heon and Song In-myeong, but it was true that if he beca a monster, he would pose a threat to the survivors.
Lee Jae-heon, who answered Eun-woo Jeong’s foolish questions, went to the pool with him.
“Do you have any weapons?”
I asked because I thought there was one. You are ‘that’ Lee Jae-hee’s secretary.
“Yes, I have a firearm and… a small three-pointed knife.”
“In that outfit?”
“In this outfit.”
I can’t believe there were such vicious weapons under the warm-colored, soft-looking civilian clothes. It was just fun to have a secretary who wasn’t a security guard and wasn’t even working in plain clothes. It was clear that this bastard was out of his mind.
If you ask , Jaeheon Lee is not in his right mind either. He gave good-natured advice to Jung Eun-woo, who he would see often in the underworld from now on.
“Weapons prepared in advance with the intention of preparing for the underworld may corrode during the transfer process and beco unusable. “I unexpectedly ended up in the other side of the world today, so I think things will be fine, but please check.”
“Hmm…”
Jeong Eun-woo nodded, checking everything from a small gun to a stick knife without saying a word.
“I’m fine.”
“In fact, it is difficult for sticks and guns to be very effective against monsters in the underworld. “Knives are a little better, but they are similar, and if possible, finding a weapon inside the underworld and using it would be effective.”
“Then shall I also get a knife from the kitchen?”
“Jung Eun-woo, I would appreciate it if you could keep as intact as possible in case I beco incapable of combat. “I will check whether the knife has any side effects.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Jaeheon Lee glanced at the ‘rmaids’ watching us in the aquarium and grabbed the handle of the pool door. Fortunately, the monsters haven’t attacked so far, as if they haven’t broken any rules. Jaeheon Lee opened the door, hoping to gain as much information as possible before a problem arose.
Lee Jae-heon crumpled his face in the pool, which was so high it easily covered his thighs.
“…There must be a clue in here.”
“Maybe.”
“Huh.”
It was a room that was difficult to see with the naked eye other than that it was full of balls of seven rainbow colors. The fact that he had to swim blindly without knowing what might be inside brought out a sigh from Lee Jae-heon.
That didn’t an I was going to back down.
“Just in case, could you please hold the door from the outside again this ti?”
“If it’s okay, I’ll go in this ti.”
“I’m more familiar with the rules and pranks of the underworld, so I’ll go in. “If the door is closed even though you are holding it, there is a high chance that you will find a puzzle in another room that can solve it, so please keep that in mind.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Fortunately, the door did not close even when Lee Jae-heon stepped through the balls. It was a generosity that was on a completely different level from the English high school where the door was shut like a knife after just one minute of dismissal ti.
“―Cough!”
“Are you okay?”
“Hehehe these damn round bastards really are.”
However, it wasn’t all that comfortable.
“Does it make sense to be suffocated when locked in a ball?”
These were clearly balls that could be caught in the hand and rolled around, but when gathered in groups, they seed to have the properties of water. As evidence, Jaeheon Lee’s thighs were already wet.
Fortunately, it didn’t turn rainbow-colored, but the clothes turned dull black and damp, causing discomfort.
Moreover, having the properties of water did not an that the properties of the ball disappeared. If he took one wrong step, he was so resilient that even Lee Jae-heon, who had a good sense of balance, would fall, and if he fell like that, his entire body would fall into the pool.
“Keuhum keek keuhuk….”
That was the reason why Jaeheon Lee kept coughing.
“I coughed… how many tis have I missed it now?”
“I’m not sure, but you missed it 6 tis in 10 minutes.”
“I’m going to die like this.”
“If you’re having a hard ti, can I co in?”
After saying that, Jeong Eun-woo continued speaking after a short silence.
“…this.”
“It’s an ominous elastic sound. Why are you doing that?”
“I can’t go in.”
“Aha, is it blocked by a transparent wall?”
In response to Lee Jae-heon’s question about rubbing the black water off his face with his hand, Jeong Eun-woo, who had been moving his hand around a few tis as if he was experinting, answered.
“Rather than that… I feel like I’m being brainwashed into thinking, ‘You can’t go in.’ Like there’s nothing in here and you don’t need to go in. “I could have gone in if I wanted to, but I felt like if I did that, I would forget the existence of Director Jae-heon Lee, so I stopped for now.”
“Oh good thing you stopped. Listening to Eunwoo Jeong’s comnts, I really feel like my existence might be erased. “If you ignore that feeling and co into this pool, Eunwoo Jeong.”
“If two or more people enter a room, will the person who entered first disappear? Or maybe it’s just forgotten or not recognized.”
“Either way, it is certainly not a pleasant experience. “I’ll take care of it, so just keep holding the door.”
I had forgotten for a mont that this aquarium basically had a stance that required at least one person to be sacrificed. If this rule applies to all rooms, it would have been wiser for Lee Jae-heon to go into the next room alone and solve the problem.
If it’s going to break anyway, it would be beneficial to extract maximum efficiency before that happens.
“Are you okay?”
“That’s right…”
Jaeheon Lee continued after a mont of objectification.
“it’s okay.”
If you accidentally step on the ball and fall into it, you will hear a child’s voice coming from within the water.
It was the laughter of children who were once my children.
