Theatrical Regression Life

Episode 558

Although she came out confidently, Yoon Garam was quite scared.

‘I don’t know if it’s my fire… I’m weak on my own.’

Garam Yoon’s abilities were so powerful that he saved the lives of survivors several times in the underworld. However, that does not mean that Garam Yoon himself was strong.

How strong would the owner who graduated from school and ran a flower shop have a strong body? Unless there were unusual cases like Jeong Eun-woo, who was the secretary of this party, most people would have been in the same situation as Yoon Gar-ram.

‘If I don’t use my abilities properly, I will definitely die.’

Garam Yoon’s body was so weak that it could not be compared to the monsters of the other world in terms of its fighting skills and toughness. They said they were working out recently in preparation for a visit from the underworld, but it was obvious that it wouldn’t be enough.

Therefore, Garam Yoon had to rely on his own abilities.

“Whoa….”

Hwaaaaaaa!

He took a deep breath and covered the walls and ceiling of ‘Friends by the Creek’ with fire.

“….”

A heat so strong that even Yoon Garam himself found it difficult to breathe enveloped the wide hallway.

“…Isn’t my fire pretty?”

“….”

“I know it sounds strange, but I think people look at it quite kindly.”

Her voice was trembling slightly.

It wasn’t exactly empty words. In reality, Jung Eun-woo, who had become a monster, was appreciating the flames that had grown abundantly with his bizarre eyes. He looked like a child trying to pop bubbles for the first time.

“I’m glad you like it, too.”

It was good news for Yoon Garam that the attention of such a monster was immediately attracted.

“I was wondering what if you weren’t interested….”

mate-!!

When Yoon Garam clapped his hands, flames soared in front of Jeong Eunwoo.

“….”

The fire is still well controlled.

He said, gently removing the hand that was attached to him.

“…I’m glad you’re a curious person.”

It seemed like Jeong Eun-woo finally realized that he was trapped in the flames.

Before Garam Yoon joined ‘Friends by the Stream’, Doyun Han told us a lot about Eunwoo Jeong. Starting from the human Jeong Eun-woo to the monster Jeong Eun-woo.

‘He said he was very interested in the mysterious side of the world.’

Han Do-yoon acted as if he was quite bored when explaining Jung Eun-woo’s characteristics. Jung Eun-woo has a childlike side in a strange place. Aside from being fearless, he seems to secretly enjoy seeing the unrealistic scenes of the other side of the world.

Moreover, Jung Eun-woo, who became a monster, was very cautious and curious, so it took quite a while before he took action. Han Do-yoon explained that it was probably the result of a reflection of his original personality to some extent.

“I wish you would dry up and die like this…”

Yoon Garam laughed awkwardly.

Based on Han Do-yoon’s explanation, she came up with her own strategy, but her plan only ended there.

Even though Jung Eun-woo was trapped in the flames, there was no way to know whether the monster would actually be hit by the fire.

“Do-yoon Han said that he didn’t feel anything when you were eaten by the treasure chest and went missing. It was probably one of two things. “Either it was because Jeong Eun-woo wasn’t close to us, or… he’s not dead right now.”

“….”

“If you keep talking to someone who is in a vegetative state, they say they are listening to everything inside. Is it possible that Jung Eun-woo is in that state right now…? “Then, can you please take a look at it for a moment?”

I heard that this person is Jeong In-ho’s uncle.

“Even if it’s because I’m thinking of Jeong In-ho, who I care about a lot.”

Can’t you just die?

“….”

“….”

I don’t know what he was thinking, but Jeong Eun-woo didn’t move at all in the fire.

‘…I guess we’re not in a state where we can communicate.’

Jeong Eun-woo was just staring at the flame that Yoon Ga-ram had lit.

Jeong Eun-woo’s breathing has become so heavy that even Yoon Gar-ram can hear it. However, Jung Eun-woo’s bizarre eyes as he looked at the flames still remained. Eunwoo Jeong was standing and breathing like a corpse.

“…Inho….”

“…!”

Startle.

Garam Yoon’s body shook as he heard Jung Eunwoo’s voice for the first time.

“Inho…go.”

Jung Eun-woo said while looking at the yellow flame.

“Inho.”

“….”

“I guess you’re back home.”

There was something about his soft voice that sent chills down one’s spine.

“Someone came to the house.”

I have to go home.

It was a low-pitched voice, but at the same time, it was rough, like the voice of someone who has not had water for a long time. However, the clear yet choppy voice, as if it came from a broken machine, felt somewhat bizarre.

“at home.”

“…Where is your house?”

“…My house….”

“Where is it?”

“This is where Inho is.”

“….”

“I shouldn’t leave Inho alone. I’m still young. Small. Weak. So I said it wouldn’t happen if I left it alone.”

Jeong Eun-woo blinked his eyes rapidly, like a blinking light. Garam Yoon took a step back as he noticed that not only his voice but also his actions had become abrupt.

For some reason, I felt bad.

“…Home….”

Jung Eun-woo laughed roundly.

“let’s go.”

“…!”

― Quad Deuk!!

Regardless of the fact that his body was on fire, Jeong Eun-woo broke through the flames and rushed towards Yoon Gar-ram. Thanks to keeping an eye on Jung Eun-woo, Yoon Gar-ram narrowly avoided it and fell once on the floor.

Immediately after that, Jung Eun-woo attacked Yoon Gar-ram and slammed his hand towards her head.

Kwasik!!

“Ugh…!”

Yoon Garam, who moved his head to avoid the watermelon bursting by a single piece of paper, grabbed Jeong Eunwoo, who was on top of her, tightly, as if wrapping both hands around his neck.

“Just a little bit…!”

Grumbling-!!

“Please die in moderation!!”

“…!!!”

As fire crawled into his gills, Jeong Eun-woo twisted his body greatly.

Garam Yoon wanted to torture Jeong Eun-woo’s breathing even if it meant seriously hurting him, but Jeong Eun-woo’s struggle was too strong for him to keep holding on to his neck.

“…! …!!”

“sick? “Yes, it hurts, right?”

“Ah…”

Even though he looked like he was in so much pain, Jung Eun-woo didn’t scream even once. Didn’t make any loud noises.

“It hurts…”

Jeong Eun-woo’s eyes rolled busily.

“It shouldn’t hurt… It should

n’t hurt…” “If it hurts, it hurts, but what does it mean that it shouldn’t hurt?”

“I am….”

Crack, cluck…!

Jeong Eun-woo scratched his neck with his black-stained fingernails.

In the meantime, Garam Yoon moved his hips back and slowly walked away, then staggered to his feet and looked for a place to run away.

At the same time, I was wondering how I could kill Jeong Eun-woo.

‘The gills are definitely the weak point.’

He remembered that his breathing was so heavy that he reflexively attacked him, but Jeong Eun-woo, who had acted calmly despite breaking through the wall made of fire, was now visibly suffering. There was no moaning, but a squeak and a sound of struggle could be heard.

“Oh, Inho… at home….”

“….”

“Are you at home? When you go home, go home. “I want to go…”

“…Ha…”

“In-ho.”

I saw a monster as pale as a corpse grinning.

“it hurts?”

Crack, clap, clap…

“Are you in pain?”

Like a ghost in a ghost story, Jung Eun-woo started scratching his face after asking a creepy question into the air. He was scratching his eyes as if he wanted to gouge them out.

“it hurts? sick? die? please? Are you Inho? it hurts?”

Jeong Eun-woo, who was acting like something was really broken, looked up and saw Yoon Gar-ram.

“….”

“….”

He hesitated….

Yoon Garam waited for an opportunity to attack Jeong Eun-woo’s gills once again, and when Jeong Eun-woo saw her, he tore his lips and smiled like a monster.

It seemed like he was urging me to answer.

“Are you sick?”

“…no.”

“sick.”

“I guess so.”

“I want to go home.”

“me too.”

“It’ll be warm there.”

After a series of incomprehensible sentences, Jeong Eun-woo wiped his smile.

“It’s cold.”

It was not something a monster with a burnt throat and oozing fluids would say.

“I have to go back.”

“…! for a moment…!”

“home.”

Huuuk kwajik-!!

“…!!”

Yoon Garam fell down without even being able to scream when Jeong Eunwoo stepped on and broke his leg. As I sat down on the floor with my mouth covered, the flames that filled ‘Friends by the Creek’ swayed back and forth as if caught by a strong wind.

“Go back…”

Jeong Eun-woo, who had seen the flame showing a delicate response, looked down at Yoon Garam again.

Eunwoo Jeong seemed to know that the yellow flames that filled ‘Friends by the Stream’ belonged to Garam Yoon. Also, that’s why I figured out that if I hurt Yoon Garam, or if I kill her, I can return to the hole in the ceiling. It was like that.

Jeong Eun-woo, who wanted to return home, reached out to Yoon Gar-ram.

“….”

I soon got it.

“…Are you Inho’s friend?”

Still saying things that don’t make sense.

“Your friend is here. Yes, you should play a lot at that age. “They said so.”

“…What…”

“Does it hurt a lot? That won’t work. Should we go to the hospital together? Isn’t that what it is? I want to be alone?”

“….”

“I understand. I understand too. I know. “I studied.”

Beetle.

Jeong Eun-woo, who straightened his back with slow movements, nodded.

“Let’s go home, Inho.”

Jung Eun-woo muttered that in a very hoarse voice and quickly climbed up the wall and disappeared into a hole in the ceiling where the flames were blurred. It really happened in a split second.

Garam Yoon stared blankly at the place where Eunwoo Jeong had disappeared, not knowing what situation he was in.

“….”

Yoon Garam pursed his lips while holding his crushed and bleeding leg.

“… Ah…”

The hole in the ceiling was being filled.

Just like the skin of a living person.

* * *

At this point, let me tell you something really surprising.

“Puh-haa!!”

“Knock, knock….”

The kindergarten students had crawled up to the surface of the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’.

In reality, it was impossible for them, who were only kindergarteners, to swim at a height that would be too difficult for even adults, but somehow they ended up arriving just in front of the ladder of the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’.

Whatever the process, that much was clear.

“There’s a ladder here!”

“Oh brother. I think you better be careful… It’s too deep…”

“It’s okay! “I’m strong!”

“I don’t think that’s the problem….”

“You can do it!”

Even kindergarteners’ goals were very clear.

“I’m going to open the treasure chest!”

It was about opening a treasure chest and finding the key for the adults.

Since they had come this far, the vast fear unfolding before them was no problem for Choi Min-hong and Jang Seo-ah. Choi Min-hong rarely felt fear in the secret world to begin with, and Jang Seo-ah was distracted by the compulsion to accomplish something.

“Umm… um… do it like this…”

Minhong Choi stuttered but steadily climbed the ladder and went down to where the treasure chest was.

It was a sight that would make adults faint from fear, but the kindergarten students who were actually doing it were anxious and never stopped.

“Uh uh….”

“Take care of it, brother! “Don’t fall!”

“I know!”

However, it was difficult for Choi Min-hong, who had much shorter limbs, to easily climb the ladder that even Jung Eun-woo took a year to climb down.

Especially because he had been swimming so hard just before, Minhong Choi felt his strength gradually slipping out of his grip.

“Uh…”

Just like that.

When the hand holding on to the ladder completely lost its strength.

“No, brother…! careful…!!”

“….”

“…Uh…?”

There was someone who stably held Choi Min-hong, who was falling.

Jang Seo-ah opened her eyes wide and looked at the familiar face. The man who appeared on the ladder as if he had been transported in an instant was clearly someone Jang Seo-ah knew.

“…Uncle Jeong Eun-woo….”

It was none other than Jeong Eun-woo, who had become a monster.
