Chapter 424
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 424 Itâs
an unfortunate fact, but in order to beat Seong Dae-young, Lee Dangâs help was needed.
To be precise, it is about this partyâs insane lawlessness and the need for concealment power that can turn even crows into pigeons. It wouldnât be difficult to sneak out and slit the head of art teacher Seong Dae-young if he wanted to, but it was obvious that there would be an uproar if a guy who was also a high school teacher suddenly died.
âThatâs troublesome.â
Whether Lee Jae-heon killed himself or enlisted the help of someone else, it was clear that he would absolutely need the help of a powerful person with excellent concealment skills. And the easiest hand for Lee Jae-heon to lend was Lee Dang. If I was going to get help from Lee Dang anyway, it would have been better to push Jae-heon Lee away from responsibility as much as possible.
When you think about it that way, the neatest thing was the scenario where Seong Dae-young dared to touch âLee Jae-heonâ and Lee Dang took revenge. Looking at Seong Dae-young, who returned to his seat with a sigh, it seemed like it wouldnât be that difficult.
âDude, do you see that? âThatâs what I made.â
âYou can see it very wellâ¦.â
âOh, look closely. Do you know how easy it is to connect thin hair like that? âI went through so much trouble plaiting and stretching all the hair that was breaking off and putting it on the loom.â
âHuh.â
I feel sorry for Song In-myeong, who painstakingly explains each and every âworkâ up for auction, but Lee Jae-heon has no such hobby. Actually, I wasnât even sorry. Even though the goal of provoking the target, Seong Dae-young, was achieved, I wondered if I had to watch the whole thing.
ââ¦I think I just need to make one connection with Seong Dae-young.â
Lee Jae-heon asked Song In-myeong.
âWhen will Sung Dae-youngâs work come out?â
ââ¦Youâre going to buy Seong Daeyoungâs, not mine?â
âYou seem to have forgotten why I came here, but I came to kill Seong Dae-young. Please cooperate.â
âWhy donât you buy mine?â
âYou buy other peopleâs hair and use it for something. âI donât have anywhere to put it at home.â
âIâd recommend a smaller one.â
âOh, thereâs no need. âIf you get caught with something like that, youâll be in trouble.â
âSomething really small⦠something like a ringâ¦â
âThatâs because you said you donât need it.â
Song In-myeong, who was obsessed with strange places, continued speaking in a determined voice.
âIf you buy it, Iâll give you a gift too.â
âDo you know that this is a really funny situation?â
âYou really wonât regret it.â
âCrazy bastardâ¦â
It is true that he is easier to deal with than other chicks, but in some ways, I was tired of him. This bastard would have to be defeated at the right time, but since he was so useless, I didnât think the day would come when he would become useless. If I just find the manager and kill him, Iâll throw this guy away too.
Song In-myeong made Lee Jae-heon buy a necklace.
âIf you look closely at that string, is it a bone? âIt was made by carving out a whole human leg boneâ¦â
The disgusting explanation went in one ear and out the other. If the ivory necklace chain is a human bone, what on earth is the red jewel attached to it called?
âA gem is just a gem. âI did the work myself.â
âHe knows how to make jewelry and is very dexterous.â
âOh, the white thing you see inside the jewel over there is also bone.â
âYou said that too early.â
My feelings were even more complicated because on the outside it looked like a normal necklace with a small jewel attached to a pale platinum chain. If only the materials had been ordinary, Song In-myeong could have become a famous writer. This talent may have been revealed in the first place because he enjoyed getting his hands dirty with murder, but it didnât feel good anyway.
On the contrary, Song In-myeong, who was in a good mood, willingly considered Seong Dae-youngâs work.
âMost of Daeyoung Sungâs works are so big that it would be difficult to take them home⦠Oh, thatâs right.â
âWhat is it?â
âItâs small to use infants as ingredients.â
ââ¦.â
âHey, I made this recommendation seriously, but why are you looking like that?â
Even if the ego of the previous life was strong, it does not mean that the personality of the old manager has disappeared. Listening to Song In-myeongâs explanation, I felt like I was eating dinner without even eating it. I was even more upset because Lee Jae-heon in his previous life didnât have any hobbies like this. Suddenly, childrenâs characteristic fern-like hands came to mind.
Even when I received my mission, there was nothing against kids, but the world is in such a bad place. Even in this soft world, crazy people existed.
ââ¦Do it in moderation.â
âOh, are you angry? do not be angry. âIâm going to give you a really nice gift.â
âIâm not angry, so do it in moderation.â
âIs that so?â
I canât believe that âJaeheon Leeâ makes this recommendation despite knowing how kind he is to the kids.
You may have wanted to see Lee Jae-heonâs reaction to a work that did not suit his personality, but his ego from his previous life also suffered a blow. There was a different feeling of discomfort compared to when I was on duty.
âNo, but thatâs because I donât know what you want. Can I buy just one of Daeyoung Sungâs works? Where should I buy it and put it?â
ââ¦I hope it still retains its original form.â
âItâs circular.â
Song In-myeong muttered and nodded.
âThatâs a lot. âSung Dae-young is a writer who doesnât put too much effort into the material he likes.â
âIs that so.â
Although it was said that it was a work in which the original material remains, this meant that it was an undamaged corpse. Even though it was an event that Song In-myeong had forced to participate in, there was no way âLee Jae-heonâ could remain silent after seeing someone elseâs healthy body. If possible, they will try to return it to the bereaved family or friends.
I hope that Seong Dae-young sees that and approaches me again. It is not difficult to hand a business card to a customer who likes your work. Since he is a very suspicious and cautious person, Lee Jae-heon may have to approach him first, but in any case, he feels reassured if he creates a connection called âworkâ.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFor a work like that, number 17 would be more appropriateâ¦â
âWhat number was it now?â
âNumber 12. âYou just have to wait five more.â
âAre there many of Seong Dae-youngâs works among them?â
âI have two.â
âWhat about after number 17?â
âTwo of those too.â
ââ¦If I try to leave the event midway, please catch me.â
âwho. âMister?â
âThen who would it be?â
âIs this the picture Iâm holding on to? âWhat would Seong Dae-young think?â
âIs this my business?â¦â
It didnât matter what Seong Dae-young thought of âLee Jae-heonâ. In any case, if you react by flinching or averting your gaze only to the art teacherâs work, the person named âLee Jae-heonâ will be well remembered. I didnât know whether the result would be negative or positive, but I knew well that it would make Seong Dae-young impatient.
I know this because I saw several similar crazy people in my past life.
âStrangely enough, they paid more attention to me when I showed signs of dislike.â
Iâve never seen one of those guys who wasnât a control freak. Itâs extremely stressful to be in an uncontrolled situation, and thatâs what it feels like when âLee Jae-heonâ rejects Seong Dae-youngâs work. If you really wanted to be interested in and approach âLee Jae-heonâ, you should have given the most harmless impression, but you couldnât.
Seong Dae-young didnât seem to have much patience compared to his caution, so it seemed like he could be easily lured in by gently provoking him. The reaction was even more dramatic when they showed Song In-myeong getting caught while trying to leave in the middle. This is a guy who can pierce the back of your head with his gaze.
ââ¦Thatâs number 17.â
ââ¦.â
âYou donât like it?â
A mysterious woman trapped in glass, not plaster.
Like most âworksâ on stage, it was beautiful. The glass sparkling on the stage under the dark hall lights is like a smooth and brilliant jewel. The brown hair, loosely fixed like ripe grain, looked so natural that it was hard to believe it was trapped in glass. A peaceful face with both eyes closed and mouth slightly open, like someone enjoying a languid wastewater. Although he is in a standing position, the arm supporting the ball as if he is leaning on something is impressive.
If the thing inside wasnât human, would it have been worth seeing?
ââ¦well.â
I didnât want to store it in my brain, so I swallowed all the thoughts that came to mind.
Among people who are crazy about âart,â Lee Jae-heon bought the 17th work.
* * *
The boring event has come to an end.
Seong Dae-youngâs business card came with number 17, which Lee Jae-heon purchased.
âIs this the original format?â
âNo, I only give you the work I bought, I donât necessarily give you the artistâs business card. âI think Seong Dae-young is playing a trick.â
âNot bad.â
It was a little disappointing that I didnât hand it over in person, but at this level, the intended goal was achieved. It didnât matter if Lee Jae-heon contacted me directly under another excuse, and it was okay if he approached me first, pretending to be a coincidence. Even though Song In-myeong didnât say anything, he was very trustworthy because he would comfort Seong Dae-young in the middle.
âI wonder if a visit to Song In-myeongâs studio would be a suitable stimulusâ¦â
Since the water had been opened, it would be easy to catch Sung Dae-young as long as the opportunity was clear. Even if progress is slow, if Sung Dae-young is left to chase the tail of âLee Jae-heonâ, the party that feels the annoyance will think about cleaning it up on its own. We fell into the mud together to pull the cautious guy out of the hole, but we were satisfied with this.
âBut you have to take good care of that necklaceâ¦.â
âItâs noisy.â
âOh, it goes bad really quickly? Even if you touch it with bare hands. Iâve never bought any jewelry. âIt gets scratched really easily, so you have to touch it gently.â
âItâs noisy.â
âAhâ¦â
Song In-myeong, who was grumbling, soon said with a grin.
âThen can I show you my gift now?â
ââ¦Itâs already ominous.â
âNo, youâll really like it, right?â
Song In-myeong, who came out of the basement event hall, led Lee Jae-heon up to the 14th floor of the building. Small companies were located up to the 10th floor, and above that were officetels. In the unique atmosphere of a building where people live, Lee Jae-heon looked around the hallway and stopped Jeong Eun-woo, who had followed him late.
âAre you going to follow me again? âIâm starting to get annoyed.â
âBut the Chairmanâ¦â
âThere is no need to watch him take a break.â
âWouldnât it be okay to wait in front of the door?â
âLike that.â
The room I entered after barely shaking off Jung Eun-woo was safer than I thought.
âIs this a common officetel?â
Approximately between 60 pyeong and 70 pyeong in size. Perhaps it was a house for a single or two-person household, but the size of the room was larger than the number of rooms. A normal atmosphere without any crazy human body exhibits that I was worried about. Except for the fact that it was too cool, it seemed like an ordinary house with everything you need, like a floor table and a kitchen.
Jaeheon Lee asked as he took off his outerwear.
ââ¦So why did you come here? You will think that it was a proper gift. âIf I had a necklace like this, I would leave right away.â
âItâs not like that. âI told you you would like it.â
âI feel anxious.â
I was worried whether Song In-myeong had prepared something as a gift that âLee Jae-heonâ would like. There was something about Song In-myeong that kept getting on peopleâs nerves. Theyâre probably doing that on purpose.
As I was looking at him without hiding my anger, Song In-myeong started talking.
âI know that? âI recently found out that there is a product that provides an adoption experience.â
ââ¦Adoption experience?â
âI also wondered what this meant. To be honest, not everyone in the same industry knows how to make a living. Why is it like that with Oseong alone? If there is a planning team, there is a separate marketing team. There may be times when we have meetings, but we donât always work together. âWe are similar too.â
âI donât know what you want to say.â
âThe main purpose of our industry is to fill needs that are often unmet. âIt exists for customers who want to expand their world without being caught by the law, or for customers who want to buy things that cannot be obtained through ordinary means.â
âWhy is thatâ¦â
âIt includes experience. The world is wide and there are many unique tastes, right? âMaybe thatâs why they made a lot of unique products.â
âLee Jae-heonâ said with a frown.
âI believe you donât mean to give me that kind of experience.â
âOf course not! Even if I donât give you a gift, youâre experiencing various things on your own, right?â
âItâs not an experience you enjoy.â
âI guess so. âIâm not doing it because I like it because my face is too bad.â
ââ¦What on earth are we going to do? âWhy did you drag me here?â
âI told you I would give you a gift. âI am confident.â
Song In-myeong opened the door that appeared to be the master bedroom.
âBecause I brought you something you like.â
ââ¦.â
Little Inyoung is sitting inside the room, fiddling with a doll.
Her elaborately dyed hair was tied up beautifully, and her clothes were as cute as a little girl from a storybook. The white dress with moderate lace was even more unrealistic as it resembled the childâs porcelain face.
ââ¦ah.â
The child raises his head and lets out an exclamation.
ââ¦Seoya?â
âItâs a zombie guy.â
Why is he here?
Three seconds later, modern manâs conscience screamed with questions.
