Chapter 258
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 258 Lee Jae-
heon was surprised that this âpretending to be weakâ worked better than he expected, even though he had been secretly preparing for it for a long time. Apart from the fact that he expected this to be the case, it was a situation that he could not understand at all based on his common sense, which was steeped in memories of his past life.
âIf it were me, Iâd just be pathetic and annoyed.â
Or maybe itâs just funny.
Unlike this world, in the world of past lives where people survive even after death, there was no tendency to worry about others. Even if you worry, it will recover sooner or later, so why waste that much energy? Among them, Lee Jae-heon, who had the ability to regenerate, was a person who laughed at others harder than anyone else. How ridiculous and outrageous is it that the modification called âpretending to be weakâ works for him?
However, unlike Lee Jae-heon, the residents of this world seem to be very worried about him.
âSo when are you going to explain this injury?â
âSeeing as how close you are to Hong Gyeong-jun, it seems like there must be a connectionâ¦â
âFirst of all, it means you know the whole story, detective.â
âShall I fetch you?â
ââ¦Oh pleaseâ¦!â
Inside the makeshift shelter where the survivors were huddled together, Lee Jae-heon was keenly feeling the side effects of âpretending to be weak.â I had no idea it would get ripped off this much.
âWhy are you so interested in me? Why on earth!â
âOh my god, asking such a question? âYou came here with such big and small scars, but you really have no conscience.â
âIt will get better anyway! It didnât really hurt and it wasnât a big deal! âIsnât everyone reacting too loudly when a grown adult gets hurt?â
âYou really have no conscienceâ¦.â
âDonât emphasize it! âItâs not a matter of conscience, but when did I get hurt because I wanted to?â
I got hurt because I wanted to get hurt.
ââ¦I really just made a mistake, so whatâ¦â
It wasnât even a mistake.
ââ¦Anyway, you really shouldnât react like this. âIt could be a good thing, but would you feel relieved if you had to point this out like that?â
âI think youâve forgotten how many times I told you earlier that it would make you feel relieved.â
âNo, what does my injury mean to youâ¦â
âChief.â
Jeong In-ho said with a creepy smile.
âGo back to reality and shut up before you regret it.â
ââ¦I said something so stupid?â
âYou seem to be good at objectification, but itâs strange that it doesnât work out well. âItâs such a strange thing.â
âWas it really that badâ¦?â
To be honest, yes. Jaeheon Leeâs condition was not normal.
ââ¦driving me crazy.â
I knew that too.
âIt was so big that I couldnât fully recover from reality and ended up in the other side of the world.â
If it had been my previous lifeâs body, I would have been able to crawl around with one arm and one leg flying off, but in this life, no matter how much my body was strengthened and reminded of my past life, it had limitations as my main body was an old man. He was in a lot of pain because he only had a puncture in his stomach and a scratch on his calf.
Since I took a bath in cold water in that condition, the wound festered like a wound, the fever rose to a tropical level, my head felt hot, and my mind was already shaking. It was natural that I couldnât act properly because my brain hurt. Still, the reason I persisted was because I was used to itâ¦
âSir.â
ââ¦What is it? âIâm really scared when you call me that.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you knew, you should have done well. âItâs not a big deal, butâ¦â
âNormally, if you say that, itâs a big deal.â
âMay I ask which of your family members was the culprit?â
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heon, who had been pondering Ha Seong-yoonâs words for a moment, asked creakingly.
ââ¦what?â
âWho in the familyâ¦â
âNo, wait a minute.â
Lee Jae-heon said, adjusting his expression as quickly as possible.
âWhy is my family suddenly here? âDid you really mean what you said?â
âEven if you change your expression so suddenly, itâs hard to fool you.â
âDamn it.â
Was the problem that I pretended to be weak in a way that didnât suit me? It was clear that God found Lee Jae-heonâs modified work disgusting and punished him with heaven. Jaeheon Lee couldnât understand why he had to be interrogated like this by the chicks.
ââ¦Letâs just listen to what I have to say first. Why did you come to that conclusion?â
âNo matter how you look at it, the culprit seems to be an unknown criminal, and this group is famous for collaborating with illegal loan companies, and given the nature of the teacher, he would not have reacted like a scolded child after being treated like this⦠How many people in the world would do something like that?â
âSo⦠thatâs my family?â
âIsnât it?â
Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment and shook his head with an expressionless face.
âno.â
ââ¦Hong Gyeong-jun! Detective!â
âAhh fuck! Thatâs right! âPlease shut up!â
For the crime of enjoying a moment of deviation, Lee Jae-heon ended up putting Hong Gyeong-jun in front of him. Lee Jae-heon gritted his teeth as he looked at Detective Hong Gyeong-jun, who was resting in the other shelter and crawled into this shelter.
âNo matter how blatantly I called you, did you really have to come all the way here?â
âIf a citizen openly calls the police, you should go without saying anything, Mr. Lee Jae-heon. âWhat an obvious statement.â
âYes, you must have been a police officer since you were born. âI donât know why everyone is sincere in torturing me like this.â
âArenât we being bullied? Mainly from a mental perspectiveâ¦â
âThen I guess Iâm being bullied physically?â
âI think you got hit.â
âNo, this person is reallyâ¦.â
When Lee Jae-heon couldnât bear it and grumbled, Yoon Gar-ram, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his hand. It was not a gentle act like clasping a finger, but rather like the touch of a predator snatching down its prey. When Lee Jae-heon looked at Yoon Garam with unnecessary stealth and agility, the other person smiled softly.
âYouâre sick.â
ââ¦yes?â
âThey say being angry is bad for your health, Manager.â
ââ¦Thatâs rightâ¦.â
âDonât be angry.â
I felt strong pressure to tell it all and not say anything.
âBut it doesnât look like itâs damaged anywhere, right?â
ââ¦Uhâ¦.â
âIs it fried?â
âno.â
âWhat a relief. âThen I would have been very disappointed.â
What the fuck are you sad about?
âIs it the disappointment of being betrayed by someone other than myself?â
Itâs a thought that occurs to me, but even if Yoon Garam had been born in Lee Jae-heonâs past life, he would have eaten well and lived well. Even in my past life, I had friends with unusual tastes who would sometimes grab me by the collar, saying, âHow dare you get hit by someone other than me?â But among them, Yoon Garamâs uniqueness was one that was rare to see.
I feel strangely anxious because I think this guy will be smiling brightly even when my corpse is burning in the combustion chamber.
âI hope you donât get sick.â
Can I believe this?
ââ¦.â
ââ¦Hmm.â
Lee Jae-heon, who made eye contact with Hong Gyeong-jun, shed a sigh of relief. This was because the chick who didnât even know what Yoon Garam was thinking was scolding her with a look that said, âYouâre so worried about me, are you really not going to tell me?â
Honestly, at this point I didnât have the energy to hold on any longer.
ââ¦Iâll tell you if you promise not to nag me anymore.â
âYou sounded like our affectionate concern was nagging, Manager.â
âDonât do things like this. âIâm really tired.â
ââ¦A person like that is very goodâ¦.â
Looking at Jeong In-hoâs lips pouting, the next sentence was probably something along the lines of âYou made that damn noise in the last episode.â It seems like they were concerned about the fact that there were people who were not regressors and cut out the backstory, but the expressions on the faces of the regressors who shared the same memories as In-ho Jeong were similar to those of the main character.
Ah, then what should I do? Because I donât remember? I canât do it, so what can I do?
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heon, who was grumbling to himself, reflected on his life for a moment. Isnât that why you turned 40? It wasnât like I was thinking about my past life for this purpose. No matter how much brain power you have, what kind of obscenity is this?
He sighed and opened his mouth.
ââ¦Itâs family. Among them, my brother did it.â
Park Da-young raised her hand as the words came out with difficulty.
âPolice man.â
âDid you call me?â
âThere is a victim of domestic violence here.â
Thatâs you, you chicks. Lee Jae-heon grumbled with a strange sense of unfairness.
âIt was really no big deal. It was just a little fight between brothers. âI donât know why everyone is making such a fuss, but isnât it possible to get hurt like this in life?â
âHere is someone spreading false information.â
âWhy are you even doing this, doctor?â
âAre you really saying this?â¦â
âYour attitude towards me is getting worse and worse.â
âAre you always doing well, sir?â
âHuh.â
Lee Jae-heon truly thought it was fortunate that Team Leader Woo Soo-young was not here. I was already having a hard time getting used to the appearance of âLee Jae-heonâ, but if I had listened to this conversation, I could have been 5 years old again. Iâll be babbling again. It must have been a difficult position for Team Leader Woo, who was an extremely normal person.
Kwon Yeon-hee asked, looking at Lee Jae-heon, who was holding his head as his thoughts wandered this time.
âHey there⦠By the way. âNot that bird.â
young?
âWhy is he like that? âWhat did the manager do wrong?â
âItâs not because I did something wrong, I just foughtâ¦â
âOh, please! Anyway, there must have been an opportunity, because no one would put in that much effort just because they were bored!â
âThere are people in this world who put in such effort because they are bored.â
ââ¦.â
At those words, the faces of Kwon Yeon-hee and other fluffy chicks turned pale. Lee Jae-heon, who blinked for a moment as the atmosphere suddenly calmed down, soon realized that he had made a mistake.
âThat wasnât my case. I was just saying that there are situations like that in the worldâ¦.â â
â¦.â
âNo, Iâm not saying I was that guyâs boring peanut⦠I really wasnât. âThe ladyâs words keep getting weirder, but itâs not usually like this.â
ââ¦uh uhuhâ¦.â
âStop coming to your senses and listen to meâ¦! It was because I made a mistake! âIt was a trivial mistake that caused us to get upset and fight!â
Lee Jae-heon did his best to make excuses, but there was no way that would work now. Hong Gyeong-jun, who knew the situation, lowered his head and covered his eyes because he could not see Lee Jae-heonâs struggles, Ha Seong-yoon was cursing Lee Jae-hyung, whom he had never met, with a smiling face, and Jeong In-hoâs face had no expression at all.
What about the other chicksâ¦.
ââ¦Huhâ¦.â
âDonât cry.â
âHuhhhhhâ¦.â
âPlease, please, pleaseâ¦!â
Everything was explained by Kwon Yeon-hee crying loudly.
â⦠Manager, would you like to transfer the family register? âIâll ask my parents.â
âChief Kang, is he crazy? âWhere on earth should I move the family register of a man over 40?â
âBut thatâs okayâ¦â
âBut whatâs the point?â âYou have to say something that makes sense.â
âUh ohâ¦â
Please stop. I really hate this atmosphere.
âI hope a meteorite falls from the sky.â
Then the attention would have shifted from me to the meteorite, which was a real shame.
Thatâs how much Lee Jae-heon was really a rat in this atmosphere. I was just walking and I was like, âYouâre such a good walker! I received applause saying, âYouâre amazing, youâre a talented person who will save the world!â I came out without a coat, and I sneezed a little due to the chill, but people around me said, âDoctorâ¦! Is there a doctor here! This person just sneezed! I felt like I was making a fuss, saying, âYes, that sneeze!â If we were to make an analogy in line with the common sense of chicks.
ââ¦Can you just not worry? I really hate this situation. Itâs extremely unfamiliarâ¦â
âIâm sorry, but this is a normal reaction.â
ââ¦Ha, I guess so⦠Iâm the only one who is strangeâ¦â
As Lee Jae-heon was unable to raise his head in embarrassment, unfamiliarity, and confusion, the middle-class chicks who exchanged glances with each other quickly nodded. By the time he raised his head, Yoon Garam, Jeong In-ho, Ha Seong-yoon, and the Park siblings were looking at Lee Jae-heon with smiling faces.
When Lee Jae-heon flinched at the very foreign smile, Yoon Gar-ram said.
âThen I wonât do that anymore, Manager.â
âI really didnât mean to bother you⦠Iâm sorry. âI didnât know you would hate it this much.â
âInstead, letâs look at the wound one more time. Donât move as much as possible. âYou said you would go to the convenience store when the sun rises, but please stop that too.â
âThatâs right, uncle. âWe will come back.â
âWe can do well.â
Why are you like this?
ââ¦did I do something wrong?â
âno? âPlease rest.â
âUhâ¦what, did I say bullshit again?â
âNo, itâs really okay.â
âWhat is it reallyâ¦?â
Looking at Lee Jae-heon, who was confused and anxious at the sudden end of the situation, Garam Yoon gently patted the hand that Lee Jae-heon was holding.
âDo you want to sleep?â
ââ¦Just tell me what I did wrong.â
âYou didnât do anything wrong?â
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heon kept his mouth shut due to an inexplicable feeling of goosebumps.
Something seems to be going wrong, but I donât know whatâs wrong.
