Chapter 571
Theatrical Regression Life Chapter 571
Episode 571
It was a pity for Jeong In-ho, whose mental strength was completely lost due to Lee Jae-heon’s flashy self-harm show, but anyway, the current man felt quite refreshed.
“Ha…”
This feeling of having removed one or two of the lumps sticking to my neck.
‘It’s cool.’
If Jung In-ho had heard it, it was nonsense that would have been enough to hit him on the back fifteen times.
‘It was still itchy, but it went well. ‘Maybe I should have ripped it off a long time ago instead of just staring at it.’
As expected, it was something that would have horrified Jeong In-ho, but from the man’s perspective, it was quite a valid story. For someone who regarded his injury as a waste of a tool, the tickling sensation of transformation was more painful than the pain of his own life.
Of course, the man who had adapted to being a detective in Korea knew that doing so would surprise the other person. But wouldn’t it be too unfair if I couldn’t do even this much as I wanted?
‘It’s better to be in pain than to be tickled.’
The man, who had swallowed his words, looked at Jeong In-ho.
“…It’s done.”
“Yes, you said that earlier. “I replied, ‘Thank you for your hard work.’”
“There was no response after that, so I called you one more time. “You may not have heard it.”
“Don’t worry, your ears are well pierced.”
Jeong In-ho, who said that, smiled roundly.
“….”
“…Why do you look at me like that?”
“No, just.”
The man was disgusted.
“Because it’s gross.”
No matter how you look at it, this is the reincarnation of your junior, right?
‘Baby, isn’t it really…? Is it true that he looks just like your junior?
Even though the couple was in the midst of their own fight, I asked the question regardless, but there was no answer. It only made the man feel more depressed.
‘Gyeongjun, senior lives like this.’
In that way, Jeong In-ho’s mood also dropped.
“They keep calling me gross. “Why?”
“…Because it’s gross…?”
“If you think about it that way, the manager is no slouch either.”
“The gills originally looked a bit creepy.”
“Did it seem like I was saying that?”
As the other person’s smile grew deeper, I felt like I couldn’t continue the same topic any longer. The man changed his stance, blaming himself for giving Jeong In-ho an excuse to start an argument.
“So what should I do now?”
“well. “What do you want to do?”
“…I don’t think you should ask me that.”
“Actually, I don’t know much.”
“….”
“The look in your eyes that says, ‘You are so useless,’ is really hurtful, so please stop.”
Jeong In-ho shrugged his shoulders.
“I was just waiting for Ha Seong-yoon to arrive.”
“I think it was a returner…”
“you’re right. Strictly speaking, he’s not a true regressor because he has a device for his eyes… but he died later than me, so he must know more. “It is necessary to confirm who the winner of this round is.”
“I guess you died early in the last episode.”
Jeong In-ho laughed slightly at the man’s question.
“He died while trying to stop Song In-myeong.”
“aha.”
“As soon as the manager died, his true colors were revealed. Thanks to this, I had to go through some hardships with Song In-myeong in the front and Jung Eun-woo in the back. “He died with his boots, but I’m not sure what happened to him after that.”
“I wonder if the one who just dragged Song In-myeong away…”
“I haven’t killed him yet.”
yet.
Yes, not yet. I see…
“I think we should proceed with dealing with that guy after gathering the opinions of other regressors.”
“…Do you have a lot of experience with murder… junior?”
Hehehe.
For a moment, I almost asked, ‘Mr. In-ho Jeong?’
‘Please. I really need to come to my senses… There is no way the current Lee Jae-heon can call this guy Jung In-ho like he used to. Oh, please, if I get caught, this really won’t be resolved…’
Jeong In-ho, who did not know the insides of the man who was sweating coldly and struggling behind his back, simply answered calmly.
“It’s not a lot. If I had any experience killing something, it was mostly against monsters. Even in various previous episodes, it appears that they have rarely, if possible, taken up arms against people.”
“You don’t seem to have much thought about that.”
The current man was not a poisonous snake lacking the common sense of this world, nor was Lee Jae-heon, who had become strangely confused by mixing with the spirit of the old man in the original. Rather, I had strong memories of living as a citizen of the Republic of Korea and a detective in a healthy body. So I could see that the main character’s reaction was unique.
‘Of course, in the original work, he was shown as a much more insensitive psychopath than this, but I still remember that he was very protected and gentle while he was with Lee Jae-heon. I think it’s a bit surprising that a guy like that would kill Song In-myeong…’
Jung In-ho answered.
“I’m always thinking about who to kill.”
“….”
That’s not me, right In-ho Jeong?
‘Please say no.’
It’s truly terrifying to think that a strong adult man with creepy black eyes is targeting my back.
“I had similar thoughts with a ghost police officer I knew briefly…”
Oh, it was really me.
“I felt the same way about the manager’s brother whom I met before.”
“… Speaking of brothers….”
“I heard he was the director of this party, but I guess you don’t remember right now, right? He is the older brother of Director Lee Jae-heon. “He had a conversation with me once.”
“Are you close?”
“yes?”
“sorry.”
He apologized right away. I tried to joke around for a moment and pretend I didn’t know anything, but the other person’s reaction was more sensitive than I imagined. As expected, I will have to postpone harassing the main character after his regression until later.
‘For my future.’
The man continued talking casually.
“It seems like there are a lot of people who really want to kill.”
“In the past, my manager also had thoughts along those lines.”
“Perhaps my dream was about being a serial killer…”
“Is that possible?”
Jeong In-ho laughed as if he had just told a very funny joke.
“In fact, no matter what happened, I would never have killed the manager. In the first place, I was wondering if the manager, who is good at fighting people, would be easily defeated by me… There’s no way he would kill someone just because he’s an old guy who proudly asked me to do this too and forced me to work overtime when I was about to leave work after barely finishing the overtime work he had just given me, right?”
“….”
The face is already dead?
“…If I apologize, you won’t kill me…?”
Wouldn’t it be difficult if I died now?
‘Did you come with some other plan that I don’t know about?’
However, Jeong In-ho waved his hand as if there were no such plans.
“You are saying scary things. “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to kill you while you’re sleeping?”
“Ah yes…”
“Do I look like a radioactive pollutant that will kill everyone if I mess up like Song In-myeong? “When I think about it again, the manager back then was pathetic, disgusting, and annoying, but I’m not crazy enough to kill someone for that reason.”
“okay.”
Sorry, but I seemed crazy enough.
‘Why did this friend’s eyes turn even more when he returned?’
Wow, that’s gross.
From the looks of it, In-ho Jeong seemed to have regressed after losing his mental strength. Well, the fact that he came out out of nowhere and said, ‘I fantasize about killing people a lot,’ and the way he kept smiling so disgustingly didn’t seem like he was in his right mind.
Jeong In-ho, who did not know the man’s true intentions, simply spoke with a stern expression.
“I’m just telling you in advance that I might not have any aversion to murder at all.”
“…Why did you do that…”
“Don’t be surprised later.”
“….”
Huh.
‘Look at this kid.’
Although he could never show it, the detective secretly looked down on the main character as if he was cute.
‘No matter how much I want to act according to my temper… I don’t want to be hated by my dear Manager Lee Jae-heon, right?’
He was appealing to people not to worry too much if he ruined or killed Song In-myeong, who was a useful tool in the future, and at the same time, he was no different from a childish idiot who grumbled that I had such a hard time in the last episode.
‘The real Lee Jae-heon raised me.’
I guess we should have made it at least for our Gyeongjun.
“….”
“…Boss?”
“…Sorry, I was thinking about something for a moment…”
“Do I have to call you senior again?”
“I like that.”
“I guess so.”
For a moment, a feeling of self-destruction passed by.
This disgusting thing seemed pitiful for no reason, considering it was a fluffy chick.
‘I’m pretty broken too.’
Where has the hoop machine that tormented the members of my past life gone and is this hoop machine the only thing left? No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like I had become so dull living as a police officer in this soft-spoken Republic of Korea.
‘Living as a ghost has made me feel much more lonely…’
Baby, please pick me up. No, don’t pick it up. No, take it back….
Half of it was because of that bitch manager, and the other half was a man who voluntarily wandered around like a ghost. However, even if one’s will was mixed to some extent, the feeling of isolation from not being able to communicate with people was difficult to shake off.
‘I have become weak….’
Yes, I admit it. The man was a human being who had adapted to this soft world.
It’s really hard to make a living.
“….”
“….”
“…Senior, you’ve been losing your mind since a while ago…”
“My mind is fine.”
“It’s crazy.”
Surprisingly, I couldn’t refute it.
‘I can’t say I’m sane right now.’
Jeong In-ho seemed to know the man’s feelings and smiled as he rolled his eyes.
“Is your neck feeling okay?”
“…No problem, except that the blood is trying to spray out everywhere through the gills and mouth.”
“It seems like enough problems have already arisen. “Can’t it stop the bleeding?”
“….”
There is nothing that cannot be burned with fire.
‘Then you won’t hate it, you old man.’
However, since ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is not in his right mind right now, I decided to throw the filtering away. The man imitated Lee Jae-heon and opened his mouth as if he had thought of a clear answer.
“If it burns with fire….”
“Let’s try to resolve it within common sense.”
“….”
“Are you so lacking in common sense that you can’t say anything? “Don’t you think of things like hemostatic agents or medicine from the world behind bandages?”
“ah.”
No, it wasn’t that I didn’t know about it at all.
‘I wasn’t considering it as an option because it was too cumbersome.’
As the man looked embarrassed, Jeong In-ho’s smile deepened.
“…Let’s block it with a cloth or something first. “If this continues, I will die from excessive bleeding.”
“It might be okay because it’s a side world.”
“But there’s no harm in stopping the bleeding. “It’s also bad to look at.”
“understand.”
“You must express your concerns in this way to be accepted, Manager.”
Jeong In-ho, who maintained a smile, sighed a little and asked.
“I’ve rarely seen fish being dismembered, so I didn’t know much… Are gills supposed to bleed this much in the first place? Perhaps because I plucked it with my hands, the bleeding hasn’t stopped…” “
I understand that the gills are the part of the fish where the capillaries are concentrated. “I don’t think you’ve ever seen gills that bleed when you touch them.”
“Have you ever seen something like that?”
“A raw fish restaurant or something…”
“You remember things like that well. Well, I’m not the type of person who particularly enjoys raw things, and I’ve never seen a scene of disintegration like that.”
“….”
The man thought.
‘Isn’t this guy a very picky eater for the main character?’
I don’t like sweets, I don’t like raw fish…
‘If this continues, I’m going to say I don’t like meat either.’
Since you said you don’t like ‘raw food’, doesn’t that mean you won’t eat raw meat?
‘He’s a friend who doesn’t know how to eat anything.’
In the original, it seems like he just ate everything he could fit in his mouth, but Lee Jae-heon raised him so soft that he was a very picky eater.
‘On the first day of work, our Gyeongjun came dressed like a lawyer and ate a bowl of soup so happily. Hong Gyeong-jun wins 1st time.’
The man who came to his own conclusion looked around.
“…Even if I wanted to stop the bleeding, I don’t have any cloth…”
“I’m just thankful that they don’t want to put a stapler in like they used to.”
“If you say something like that after just hearing about bandages and medicine, that’s almost a lack of intelligence, junior.”
“Then I guess the previous manager lacked intelligence.”
“….”
“Luckily, I have friends who have cloth.”
The man tilted his head.
“Song In-myeong’s clothes?”
“That’s Gigi.”
“….”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I strongly advise against using such a bandage because it is so contaminated that it is not suitable for use as a hemostatic bandage.”
“…So what is the main point?”
“Children.”
“…?”
It was a bit creepy when the guy with black eyes answered, ‘Children,’ to the question, ‘What should we do to stop the bleeding?’
‘Of course, I didn’t mean to say it with bad intentions, but…’
The man reflexively turned his gaze to look in the direction Jeong In-ho was pointing.
“….”
“….”
“Ah….”
Two kindergarten students were waiting in the tank with white handkerchiefs.
“Here…”
“Ours…”
“It’s clean.”
“Jingjaro.”
“I never used it.”
The man could not trample on those bright expectations.
“…thank you.”
It is healing.
After all, the kids are cute.
