Chapter 312
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 312
Team leader Woo Soo-young was an ordinary person, and Lee Jae-heon was not the only one who thought that way. The reason Yoon Garam has recently shown great favor towards Woo Wooyoung is because he was attracted to her ordinariness.
Lee Jae-heon recalled Woo Woo-youngâs reaction when he first entered the secret world.
âWhat did it look like then?â
I guess he was crying so pitifully.
The fact that Kwon Yeon-hee, who had almost lost her senses, regained her composure in response to Woo Joo-youngâs violent reaction was clearly proof that Team Leader Woo Joo-youngâs mental head was so ordinary that he could not withstand the atmosphere of the behind-the-scenes world.

âMr. Lee Jae-heon?â
âIâm on my way.â
Lee Jae-heon thought as he followed Ha Seong-yoon.
âBut for something like thatâ¦â
Wasnât it too ordinary?
âIt feels a little strange saying it like this.â
In other words, it continues to show an ordinary appearance that is difficult to find in this world. It is true that Woo Woo-young is an ordinary good person, but it was difficult for him to act like that even in the other world. Isnât it hard to find someone like Woo Woo-young even in Lee Yun-byeol, the most ordinary human being?
ââ¦Team leader Woo Joo-young.â
âYes, whatâs going on?â
âHow have you been these days?â
ââ¦.â
Ha Seong-yoon, who rolled his eyes at Lee Jae-heonâs words, answered.
ââ¦You seem to be doing well, but⦠Is there a problem?â
âNo, there is none. âI was just curious.â
Then, one more question arises here.
âHow are you?â
In this crazy world?
ââ¦Isnât it a little strange?â
Because he has memories of his past life, Lee Jae-heon often goes back and forth, but that doesnât mean he doesnât know whatâs normal. The secret world was a special place even based on Lee Jae-heonâs past life, and Woo Joo-young was an ordinary good person even by this world.
âBut is that person doing well in the secret world? Is it possible? Thereâs even an abandoned dog monster and a key ring monster near the shelter⦠Even if you rely on the survivors you stay with, youâll still have to come to your senses sometimes.â
Itâs not for nothing that only crazy people can enter this underworld. A person with an ordinary mental head cannot withstand the heavy air and goes crazy and commits suicide, murders others, or gets stuck somewhere and only sheds tears before being killed by a monster. It was one of three.
ââ¦Iâm glad youâre doing well.â
Even as I muttered that, I became curious.
âHow should I interpret this?â
Number 1, I acted like I was normal.
âNo, if I had done that, I wouldnât have shown that kind of side when I first entered the secret world. Itâs true that Woo Joo-young is a good employee, but heâs not a good chick.â
Number 2: Iâm acting like Iâm okay.
ââ¦Pretending to be okay is something that can only be done if you have the leisure, but the extremely ordinary team leader Woo Soo-young has that kind of strength left? Itâs not impossible, but the probability itself is low.â
If so, number 3.
âAh, Managerâ¦!â
âTeam leader Woo.â
I am adapting to the underworld.
âOver there, In-ho and Da-hoon are in really bad condition.â
âokay?â
âCould you please go with the doctor and take a look? I heard that his condition suddenly worsened in front of the school, but it could have really been some kind of monster that put a curse on himâ¦â
Lee Jae-heon looked into Woo Woo-youngâs face.
All the signs of a dying chicken that had been struggling in the beginning were gone, and the ordinary, everyday worries that can only be seen in reality were filled in the eyes. It was a genuine and serious concern, not something made up.
ââ¦Huh.â
ââ¦Boss?â
âI think you need some time alone, so leave it alone. If it is truly a curse, it will be closer to a mental attack, so you will need time to calm yourself down. âItâs even more of a problem if you touch it and think strange things about it.â
âBut it looks so painfulâ¦â
âItâs probably closer to confusion than pain. Please tell others not to touch it as much as possible and to leave it alone. âI will also intervene based on the situation, and if a problem arises, the doctor here will take appropriate action.â
Ha Seong-yoon, who was pointed out by Lee Jae-heon, rolled his eyes and smiled.
âI am not a neurologist or psychiatrist.â
âI heard you studied. At least it will be better than amateurs like us. And I think approaching it right away will only backfire, so we can talk about it when both of you calm down.â
âI donât think itâs a bad idea.â
Ha Seong-yoon nodded.
Knowing that Jeong In-ho and Park Da-hoon were regressors, he would have thought that Lee Jae-heonâs words were valid to some extent. Even if you donât know how those two died in the previous episode, you would have guessed that the ending would have been hell itself.
âIf I were to intervene in that situation, it would get even worse.â
Iâm not sure about Park Da-hoon, but Jeong In-ho was so exhausted that he immediately chose to die. Even if I were to see âLee Jae-heonâ, who turned into a plaster monster, again, I wouldnât get the right reaction. In that case, it would have been better to leave it alone until it calmed down to a minimum.
Woo Joo-young, who was taken aback by Lee Jae-heon and Ha Seong-yoonâs reactions, soon nodded.
âAh, I get it.â
Although he was still skeptical, he seemed to think that our choice would be much wiser as he was a senior in the secret world.
ââ¦Wellâ¦.â
It was a look I often saw at work.
Team Leader Woo Soo-youngâs attitude of following the decisions of his superiors in some way, even though he had his own opinion, could be said to be a great advantage.
âI donât know what it means, but since Assistant Manager Jeong and Da-hoon are in such bad condition, it seems impossible to start exploring the school again. Since this is happening, why not rest a little more? âThereâs no need to rush.â
Since he could not yet tell us the facts about the regression, Lee Jae-heon gave a brief overview of the condition of the returnees. In fact, Ha Seong-yoon was only barely able to become a âdoctorâ, but he had reached his mental limit, so he had to return to reality quickly, but he couldnât go to kill the final boss in this situation.
ââ¦Thereâs no fucking sane bastard.â
When Lee Jae-heon looked at Ha Seong-yoon with a sour gaze, the other person smiled and asked.
âSay it in words, patient.â
âAre you okay?â
âItâll be okay.â
Itâs not okay.
âIf Ha Seong-yoon had lost his temper, I would have said everything.â
Among the chicks, the survivor who was closest to an adult was Ha Seong-yoon. The fact that even Ha Seong-yoon answered vaguely, âItâll be okay,â meant that he, too, was not in his right mind. There was no way the exploration could proceed when all major power sources were destroyed.
âEven if we try to use this opportunity to raise other personnel, it would be impossible right nowâ¦â
It was the same even if we searched somewhere other than Unhak High School. Finding the final boss is not that easy, and you probably wonât be able to kill it even if you find it, so it was better to rest until you can recover.
ââ¦Just⦠letâs all get some rest together. âVery well.â
Lee Jae-heon muttered in a half-resigned tone.
âBefore we all start searching together.â
To be honest, Lee Jae-heonâs condition was not very good. Although he was barely able to hold on to reason, he was walking around like a monster until just before, and even died as a monster. Lee Jae-heon, who remembers that unpleasant feeling, canât possibly be in a good state.
âteacher?â
âWhat is it?â
âTeacher, please go in and rest. âDo you know whatâs going on right now?â
âDid it happen like this?â
âIf you know now, it would be better to rest.â
Ha Seong-yoon said with a smile.
âNow that the situation is like this, why donât you get some rest, Woo Joo-young? I know that you have worked hard to take care of the survivors even though it is a world where you feel like you are going crazy just by breathing. âYou must be tired, so letâs rest for a while.â
ââ¦Am I really okay? âWhat on earth happened in front of the school?â
It seemed like he thought he had encountered a monster or a trap near the main gate of Eonhak High School, but since he had nothing else to say, I was grateful if he believed that. Lee Jae-heon turned his head from looking at Woo Woo-young and looked at Ha Seong-yoon.
âLetâs take a break too.â
âOh, letâs take a look at the patientsâ condition for a momentâ¦â
âThen just check my condition and take a rest. Ha Seong-yoon has also opened his eyes now.â
ââ¦.â
Ha Seong-yoon, tracing the area around his eyes with his hand, nodded.
ââ¦I donât know what was in front of Eonhak High School, but itâs scary. âItâs driving me crazy too.â
âThatâs right.â
Lee Jae-heon sighed inwardly at the sight of Ha Seong-yoon calmly matching Lee Jae-heonâs lies.
âI wonât be able to move for a while.â
Not only Jung In-ho but also Ha Seong-yoon must have been under a lot of stress. From what Iâve heard, it seems like he feels a lot of shame about himself for not being a âdoctorâ, but he couldnât have been stressed since he couldnât even perform a proper surgery and his pride was hurt by Azaleaâs folk remedies.
Lee Jae-heon nodded inwardly and pushed Ha Seong-yoon toward the rest area and looked at Woo Woo-young.
âTeam leader Woo.â
âyes yes?â
âIs our Team Leader Woo okay?â
âMe? Thatâs fine with meâ¦â
âWhy?
ââ¦Did I do something wrongâ¦?â
âwell.â
He laughed at my everyday shyness towards âManager Lee Jae-heonâ as if I were in reality. Woo Joo-youngâs shoulders shook greatly as he smiled a gentle smile that did not suit âManager Lee Jae-heonâ. Lee Jae-heon observed it calmly and continued.
âIâm not sure.â
I was curious as to why Woo Joo-young looked so fine.
âItâs not a bad thing, butâ¦â
It was true that it had stabilized a lot compared to the beginning when I was restless and restless.
The only difference from the time when I was so pale and unable to say anything was that I was able to say everything I wanted to say even while crying, but in any case, it meant that I had adapted to the behind-the-scenes world, so it was something that should be praised.
ââ¦.â
Wait a minute.
âadaptation?â
So you adapted to the underworld?
âTeam Wooâ¦â
Lee Jae-heon, who discovered the identity of the discomfort, tried to call Woo Woo-young, who was looking at me strangely, but someone came up in an instant and got in between them.
âYou are here.â
âUgh!â
âHuh.â
ââ¦Why are you both surprisedâ¦?â
Garam Yoon said with a sheepish smile on his face.
âDahun was looking for the manager earlier. Dayoung is taking care of me a lot by my side, but since I canât calm down easily, Dayoung is also cryingâ¦â At
those words, Woo Joo-young looked at Lee Jae-heon with a look that said, âIâm right.â Lee Jae-heon, who frowned for a moment, quickly responded with a calm expression.
âOh, Iâll go.â
âIâm sorry you must be tired.â
âWhat are you saying? I didnât even go to schoolâ¦â
At those words, Ha Seong-yoon turned to Lee Jae-heon. It must have sounded strange because the image of âLee Jae-heonâ walking around the school was vivid in my memory. However, âLee Jae-heonâ had no memories before returning, so he nodded as if he understood.
âI will go to Jeong In-ho.â
âTake a break, right?â
âIâd like to have a brief conversation.â
Ha Seong-yoon left before Jae-heon Lee could stop him. It seemed like he thought it would be more mentally comfortable to go around and see patients rather than just sit still.
ââ¦.â
Lee Jae-heon, who was looking at Ha Seong-yoonâs back, approached Park Da-hoon.
âDahun?â
ââ¦mister.â
âThe condition is not good.â
As he said, Park Da-hoonâs condition looked very bad. His eyes, which had been sparkling with gun and survival instincts until he entered language high school, had sunken so pitifully that he must have suffered a great psychological shock. Doesnât this face look like itâs about to pout?
âmister.â
âokay.â
ââ¦.â
Park Da-hoon, who was looking up at Lee Jae-heon blankly, asked.
ââ¦Are you going to scold me?â
From the looks of it, it didnât really seem like âLee Jae-heonâ had called him because he was happy to see him.
âThere is a strange feeling of rejection.â
It wasnât the type of rejection that made him hate âLee Jae-heonâ, but Park Da-hoon was reluctant to talk to him. Nevertheless, calling him out also meant that there was information that needed to be conveyed somehow.
Jaeheon Lee asked, pretending not to know anything.
âWhat did you do to say something like that?â
âDonât throw it away.â
âI wonât throw it away.â
ââ¦Reallyâ¦.â
âIâm not throwing it away.â
Lee Jae-heon looked back at Park Da-young with the meaning of âWhy on earth is he like this?â But he must have sensed something in Park Da-hoonâs condition and Park Da-youngâs condition didnât seem to be very good. Lee Jae-heon sighed after seeing the faintly shining purple in the eyes of the two siblings. It was time to talk to Ki-gon Park again.
ââ¦I think I should run away.â
âWhere?â
âIn this mountainâ¦â
he muttered.
âEveryone died on this mountain.â
Lee Jae-heon instinctively sensed that Park Da-hoon was lying, but he didnât bother to criticize him.
ââ¦.â
He asked Park Da-hoon, pretending to be calm with a faint smile.
âWhere shall we run away?â
ââ¦.â
Park Da-hoon muttered.
âVegetable garden.â
âGarden?â
ââ¦I can live there.â
âaha.â
Jaeheon Leeâs smile deepened.
And yet they all died on the mountain?
