Chapter 535
Theatrical Regression Life
Episode 535
Lee Jae-heon was so out of his mind that I forgot about it for a moment, but he was an old man by nature.
And to be more precise, he was closer to a âbastard pretending to be an old guyâ.
âAre you provoking me now?â
When Jeong In-ho asked with a smile, Lee Jae-heon shamelessly answered back.
âIf my right remark sounded like a provocation, I think it was all because of my juniorâs twisted mentality.â
âIt breaks my heart to hear the manager, who is the number one person with a twisted mentality here, say something like that.â
âI am so happy that you value me so much that it breaks my heart. I didnât know that my junior thought of me this much? But why do things work that way?â
âI always do my job well, so why are you arguing?â
âIs it really right for a junior like that to pick a fight with a senior who is like the sky? âDo you want your work life to become more tiring than it is now?â
âHahaâ¦.â
Jeong In-hoâs smile deepened as he calmly accepted the words even though it was like telling a zombie to go away.
âI really canât tie that thing up anywhere.â
I didnât even think I would win because I couldnât communicate.
One of Lee Jae-heonâs really stupid habits was âpretending to be an old man.â He would imitate an old man in order to provoke others, divert words, or somehow make things more advantageous for his own plans.
It seems that Jung In-ho is probably following Lee Jae-heonâs older brother whom I saw before⦠but in any case, it was very unpleasant.
ââ¦.â
Jeong In-ho, who succeeded in slowly taking a deep breath, looked back at Song In-myeong.
ââ¦What on earth did you do while this human being was flying off? Student Song In-myeong?â
âWhat should I do if you say that to me? Did I cut that wrist? no itâs not?â
âIf you had cut me off, would I have stayed still now?â
I donât think Song In-myeong cut off Lee Jae-heonâs wrist.
Of course, if it were Lee Jae-heon now, he would have willingly offered his hand when he said, âOh, I need some help, so Iâll cut it off,â but I donât think Song In-myeong would have done such a thing when he was genuinely questioning it.
âPerhaps Lee Jae-heon decided it was necessary and cut off Jiâs hand.â
But what did you do instead of stopping it?
âLast time, the bastard who went around cutting people down all by himself is now acting cowardlyâ¦? You couldnât stop Lee Jae-heon, who was such a tattered rag? Do you think that makes sense now?â
Because Seo Jang-hwa was there, he didnât say it very directly, butâ¦
No, I donât know everything, and Jeong In-ho couldnât put a filter in his mouth because the back of his neck was so hot. Regardless of whether Seo Jang-hwa noticed the return or not, I felt like I had to say something.
âSo the people you killed in the last episode were scarecrows?â
âAh, why the fuck are you blaming me for being a scarecrowâ¦? Is this so fucking ridiculous? And is it okay to say this when the kids and other guys are listening? âIs it obvious that the filtering is not working now that Yama has turned around?â
âItâs filtering and I just want you to go to sleep and get down on your knees and beg. So what did you do instead of stopping that person? caliber? Have you been watching? âWhile eating popcorn?â
âI did that damn thing without even having a chance to stop it, so what can you do with me? âOh, what a dog!â
âSo why couldnât you stop it? âI guess you didnât stop me!â
âNo, itâs really fucking unfair?!â
Song In-myeong jumped up.
âhey! Do you know what kind of steel killer I am?! Iâm made of flesh and blood too, and I know Iâm fucking tired too! âYou damn bastard, you know that when youâre tired, your body loses strength!â
âIs that what a serial killer is proud of?!â
âI know that no matter what I brag about, you wonât hear it as bragging!â
Song In-myeong got irritated by going on a rampage over the topic of killing a person.
âNo matter how much I chopped up people in the last episode, I guess I wasnât tired, right? âIâm tired too!â
âWhy are you fucking with us after you killed us!â
âAnd you said I went in and out of that souvenir shop by myself? Canât you see Iâm covered in blood right now?! Does this look like decoration?!â
Seo Jang-hwa, who was watching the childish fight between the two, was delighted and said, âWhat kind of bullshit is this?â, but Song In-myeong never stopped.
âAnd what more! I! how! âIâm thinking Iâll be able to stop that guy!â
Jeong In-ho frowned at the reaction that was more intense than expected.
âwhat?â
âDo you fucking look like a human?! âIsnât that a human?!â
âIs that what you want to say in front of the parties right now?â
âCanât you get my point right now? Iâm losing?! With one hand, I was overpowered by that guy with one hand! âI will admit that I was distracted when he was cutting off my hand, but I wouldnât have been able to stop him anyway, right?â
ââ¦.â
When Jeong In-ho looked back at Lee Jae-heon, Lee Jae-heon smiled brightly.
âDo you have anything to say?â
ââ¦.â
Jeong In-ho, whose expression became even more strange, looked at Song In-myeong.
ââ¦How can that tattered human subdue you? âYou donât even have hands?â
âItâs so fucking unfair. âYou guys would have to be hit by that guy with one hand to realize that it wasnât our Inmyeong who hit Gura.â
âI donât know where to start and how to react.â
Lee Jae-heon opened his mouth at Jeong In-hoâs shocked reaction.
âIs it so surprising that I defeated writer Song In-myeong?â
ââ¦It would be a surprise to anyone if he could subdue that crazy killer with such a bloody body.â
âWhat I mean is, is it any wonder that Iâm stronger than that friend now?â
âWhy are you looking so proud? It really gives me a headacheâ¦â
Jeong In-ho muttered like a sigh and pursed his lips.
ââ¦.â
There was no immediate answer as to what this was.
ââ¦Why does everything seem so twisted?â
It felt like my stomach was filled with thick mud and was about to burst.
To be honest, Jeong In-ho understood what Song In-myeong said. Iâm not sure why, but the current Song In-myeong was less threatening than the last episode, and Lee Jae-heon, on the other hand, gave off a much more monster-like vibe.
Even though it was obviously looking at the target clearly, that gray gaze that seemed strangely distorted in focus⦠it didnât really feel like a human being. The bright red blood all over his body and even the missing body parts made Lee Jae-heon feel like a being from a ghost story, separated from reality.
â⦠Iâm a little annoyed.â
âMy junior is so angry. âIt would be easier if I just adapted to reality, wouldnât it?â
âThat also irritates me.â
Jeong In-ho was not Lee Jae-heonâs junior.
I didnât want to conform to reality and I didnât want to agree with Jaeheon Lee.
âI feel like nothing is going to happen.â
Jeong Eun-woo was also a person in the same context, but Jeong In-ho swallowed anything about him. They didnât really want to talk to Jung Eun-woo right now, and more than anything, they had work to do right now.
I had to save Park Da-hoon.
âWhat do you mean, nothing happens?â
âSo is something going right?â
âMe and my friend Song In-myeong found a good method.â
âI think the problem is that itâs not okay at allâ¦.â
âThereâs nothing to worry about.â
ââ¦.â
âIsnât it a simple problem?â
Lee Jae-heon looked around at the entire group and asked.
âAre you going to kill Park Da-hoon or me?â
âBoss.â
In-ho Jeong called Jae-heon Lee as if to stop him, but Jae-heon Lee still responded calmly.
âLooking at it, it looks like we havenât even found the wetsuit yet. Then, at what time will you save student Park Da-hoon? On the other hand, using this doll is simpler. The mermaids in the tank were cooperative, and all I had to do was persuade Dahoon Park.â
Jeong In-ho hoped that Lee Jae-heon would shut up, but there was no way he could stop Lee Jae-heon, who even Song In-myeong could not.
He continued talking with a wicked smile that made me sick just by looking at it.
âDayoung.â
ââ¦.â
âYou hope your little brother doesnât die, right?â
ââ¦Uhâ¦.â
âDrowning would be very difficult. If the water were to rise little by little like that, it would already be very cold. It would be better if I died of hypothermia, but drowning is really inconvenient and painfulâ¦â
Park Da-youngâs hands trembled slightly at Lee Jae-heonâs kind words.
Lee Jae-heon gently wrapped Park Da-youngâs hand and slowly bent down to make eye contact with her.
âHave you ever gotten caught while drinking water, Dayoung?â
Lee Jae-heonâs words continue softly.
âIf water enters the airway incorrectly, you cough like that, but if it gets completely blocked, you canât cough even if you want to, which is very painful. My throat is itchy and my lungs are full of water and I canât spit it out. âIâm already crying with tears in my eyes, but my watery eyes are stinging and I donât even know Iâm crying, so all I can do is struggle.â
ââ¦.â
âWill the water only go into the throatâ¦? Go into your nose. Go into your ears. Have you ever had water get into a place like that while taking a shower? Normally, you would be able to get the water out by blowing your nose or wiping your ears, but you wouldnât be able to do that while youâre drowning. It just continues to be painful. Since they canât die right away, they struggle and struggle and suffocate to death. âYou die while your whole body is in pain and you feel every organ rotting away.â
Lee Jae-heonâs voice was clear like an excellent announcer, kind like a parent admonishing a child, and quiet like a teacher teaching his student. Regardless of the cruelty of the content, Lee Jae-heonâs view of Park Da-young was just kind.
But Park Da-young was already scared.
ââ¦Dahunâ¦goâ¦.â
âI hope he doesnât die, right? Anyway, I think drowning would be very difficult. is not it?â
âIt would be nice if I didnât die, but I still⦠You tooâ¦â
âIf I die, I wonât have to scare you anymore.â
ââ¦.â
âDayoung.â
Lee Jae-heonâs hand, which was wrapping Park Da-youngâs hand, went up to her shoulder.
âYouâre scared of me.â
ââ¦.â
âI understand.â
She wanted to deny it, but in the end, Park Da-young couldnât say anything.
âUhâ¦â
What Jaeheon Lee said was true.
Park Da-young was scared of Lee Jae-heon, who forgot about us and became a monster, was scared of Lee Jae-heon who scolded her so cruelly, and was scared of Lee Jae-heon who might never return to his original state.
And Lee Jae-heon has already noticed Park Da-young.
ââ¦.â
Even if I deny it, they wonât believe me.
ââ¦But really, I⦠I wish you hadnât diedâ¦.â
âItâs because youâre kind.â
âNoâ¦â
âItâs so sweet and soft⦠isnât it?â
ââ¦Itâs notâ¦.â
âMy chick.â
Lee Jae-heon smiled slightly and took his hand away from Park Da-young. He straightened his bent back and said.
âItâs too small.â
ââ¦.â
Park Da-young had to think for a long time about what Lee Jae-heonâs statement âtoo smallâ meant.
But whatever that meant, I could tell that Lee Jae-heon had decided not to believe Park Da-young any longer.
Lee Jae-heon will definitely be âconsiderateâ of Park Da-young, who is afraid of him.
ââ¦.â
As Park Da-young lowered her head, Seo Jang-hwa approached Lee Jae-heon.
âAre you doing well, uncle? âWhy are you scaring the child?â
âWell⦠I didnât mean to do that, but Iâm sorry.â
âAre you really crazy?â
Seo Jang-hwa wrapped Park Da-youngâs shoulders and pulled her towards me.
âHe is a high school student now. Iâm just 19 years old. Do you think itâs right to talk about drowning and praying to a kid like that? âDoes anyone have anything to traumatize?â
âI donât think Iâm wrong.â
âYou were so fucking wrong from beginning to end, right?â
âThen who does Janghwa want to die?â
Lee Jae-heon looked at Seo Jang-hwa and gently rolled his eyes.
âNow listen. say it.â
ââ¦.â
âWould it be better to kill Da-hoon, who is younger than Da-young, who you say is 19 years old?â
âWhatâ¦â
âOr would it be better for me to die?â
When Seo Jang-hwa couldnât answer, Lee Jae-heonâs smile grew even deeper.
âIs it really something that Da-hoon, a young and weak 18-year-old, should go through, seeing the cold water rising with his own eyes, shivering as his body temperature gradually decreases, crawling all the way to the end, unable to even scream, and dying slowly from the rising water? âAt least Iâm not afraid of death?â
ââ¦.â
âHuh? Answer me, Janghwa.â
ââ¦You crazy bastard.â
âItâs a story I hear often.â
Jaeheon Lee asked, looking back at the quiet group.
âWho would object?â
There was someone who raised his hand as if he had been waiting.
ââ¦.â
ââ¦.â
It was Minhong Choi.
âI am against it.â
