I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 211
I am not a returner Episode 211:
Snake’s Head (4)
“Ugh!”
When Cheon Sang-gil, sensing a crisis, urgently tried to pull his body back.
It’s a joke!
The blue lightning that erupted from Ojin’s fingertips flowed through his wet hanbok and struck him.
“Kuhuheook!”
Cheon Sang-gil fell to the floor, letting out a breath full of pain.
Pajik! Puzzle!
Blue sparks that lingered like reverberations burned around his body.
“Oh Ojina, what are you doing to installment?!”
Ha-eun came running with a scared expression.
“no.”
“ok? “What do you mean it’s not…”
“It’s not the elder Cheon Sang-gil.”
This is just something else wearing his mask.
Oh Jin looked down at Cheon Sang-gil, who had fallen on the floor, with cold eyes and continued speaking.
“If he was really an old man, he wouldn’t have collapsed like that from this level of attack.”
“That’s…”
“Oh Jin is right, sister.”
Isabella, who followed behind, nodded.
“Ugh… How?”
Cheon Sang-gil, who had fallen on the floor, looked back at Oh Jin as if he couldn’t understand.
Do you even want to ask me how I found out?
“I thought it was a bit strange from the beginning.”
Ojin clicked his tongue lightly.
A feeling of foreignness that came to mind when I first contacted Cheon Sang-gil.
At the time, it was just a question, but as the situation unfolded, the question turned into doubt.
“Why was I the first person to contact you?”
More than the Cheonhye Guild, of which she is the guild leader, more than Isabella, who claimed to be in charge of reporting on Oh Jin’s behalf during the last Living Armor incident, and more than Ha-eun, who destroyed the black pillar that rose from under downtown Sokcho during the demonic beast attack.
why.
Did he contact himself first?
“If you wanted to collect the Guardian Saint, if you wanted to call Isabella to someone who participated during the Sokcho Demonic Beast Attack incident, it would have been right to contact your sister first.”
He doesn’t even have a very close relationship with Heavenly Road.
Cheon Sang-gil, who had fallen to the floor, looked up at Oh Jin with a puzzled expression.
“Just… you attacked me with something like that?”
“Well, actually, I just thought it was a little strange at the time and didn’t suspect anything.”
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come to Sokcho in the first place.
but.
“Isn’t it too amazing to be a coincidence?”
The crack opened 10 days ago and Cheon Sang-gil discovered the crack only 3 days later.
And the fact that the rift was created targeting only Ojin, and that Cheon Sang-gil only contacted himself, leaving aside Isabella, the main contact person of the guardian castle, and Ha-eun, who once trained under him.
If you look at each thing individually, you could think it was a coincidence, but when coincidences overlap to this extent, you can’t help but be suspicious.
“…Ugh.”
It wasn’t Cheon Sang-gil who fell to the floor, but someone who looked like him swallowed hard.
He, who was writhing in pain, raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Even if you knew my identity, it was already too late.”
Grumbling.
In an instant, his face was crushed and began to change into dozens of faces like clay.
Eventually, the monster’s entire body turned into black slime.
It was a monster that looked like the silhouette of a criminal from Conan.
Ojin narrowed his eyes and looked at the monster made of black slime.
As soon as I saw the monster, a name came to mind.
‘Doppelganger.’
A monster with the ability to change its appearance at will.
There are only rumors of the existence of such a monster in ‘The Demonic World’, but it has never been discovered on Earth yet.
‘Now that I think about it, it was in Sokcho that I got my transformation.’
The ability Choi Jong-cheol gained at that time, when he turned into a demonic beast, was transformation.
Could it be that there was some kind of connection with the doppelganger?
With no way to find an answer to the question that arose, the doppelganger, who had changed his appearance to black slime, spoke while showing his pure white teeth.
“Since you came here… you will die at the hands of ‘him’.”
The doppelganger, spitting out an ominous warning, quickly got up and started running away.
“Where are you going?”
“Huh!”
Isabella suddenly appeared in front of the doppelganger and glared at her with eyes as cold as frost.
Small droplets of blood gathered on my pure white fingertips and fell to the floor.
“Oh Jin, you haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The blood drops that fell on the floor formed a small puddle.
Blood-red chains spewed out from the pool and wrapped around the body of the fleeing doppelganger.
“Ugh! “Let it go!”
The doppelganger twisted its body with a puzzled expression.
Isabella approached her doppelganger at a leisurely pace.
“damn…!”
The body of the doppelganger, who cursed, began to turn around, making a gurgling sound.
A doppelganger who changed his body to look like Ojin.
He looked at Isabella with sorrowful eyes and opened his mouth.
“Isabella. “Are you really planning to attack me?”
It was a power unique to doppelgangers that could read the other person’s desires and change their appearance into that person’s most precious person.
The sense organ that humans most rely on is vision.
Even if you know in your head that it’s not real, if a being with the same face and voice as the person you love the most appears in front of you, you can’t help but feel momentarily embarrassed –
“What are you doing?”
A low voice.
The blue eyes that used to sparkle with bright light contracted and turned dark, like the eyes of a doll that had lost all emotions.
“…uh?”
The doppelganger trembled, feeling a terrible, life-threatening feeling as if it were choking her.
Quack!
Isabella dug her finger into Ojin’s shape-shifting doppelganger’s collarbone.
The flesh broke open and black mucus gushed out.
“I asked… what are you doing?”
“Aaaah! Kahak!! “Ugh!”
Quad deuk, quade deuk! Quack!
I roughly dug the fingers that were stuck in my collarbone, as if digging out the inside of a fruit.
A horrendous scream burst from the doppelganger’s mouth along with an eerie bone-crushing sound.
“Not anyone else… How dare you dare… imitate Mr. Ojin?”
Isabella muttered in a voice full of murder and completely dismantled the doppelganger that had taken the form of Ojin.
The clavicle was torn off, the muscle and fat filling it were cut out, and the shoulder blade connected to the clavicle was twisted out.
“Wow! Crumble! “Kruk!”
As the cruel disintegration continued, the doppelganger rolled its eyes and vomited white foam.
When Isabella pulled out the arm of the doppelganger, who was writhing in pain, and dug her finger into the other side’s collarbone.
“Wait a moment.”
Ojin grabbed Isabella’s shoulder.
Her eyes, which had lost their shine, returned to their original state and a bright smile appeared on her lips.
“Yes Mr. Ojin!”
A simple smile that had no idea that this was a woman who had just crushed bones and torn flesh without any mercy.
A drop of black blood splattered down the corner of his mouth and dripped down his cheek.
“…He’s okay, right?”
Ha-eun whispered softly with a horrified expression.
Ojin nodded as if telling him not to worry.
No matter how sharp the fangs are, it doesn’t matter as long as they don’t point in this direction.
“are you okay.”
At least for me.
“Ah ah. ah.”
Ojin approached the fallen doppelganger.
“Where is the escape?”
“There is no way out.”
“Don’t talk bullshit.”
Crack!
“Aaaaa!!”
Ojin’s eyes shined coldly as he roughly stepped on the section where his arm had been pulled out.
As long as there was a way in, there was no way there was no way out.
The reason that less than 5% of the information about the Demonic Sutra was revealed in the first place is not because they could not enter the Demonic Sutra, but because they did not enter it.
“You… can’t survive here…”
“Isabella.”
“Yes, Oh Jin!”
“Hey! Now wait! “Wait a minute!”
As Isabella, with a smile on her face, approached, the doppelganger’s complexion turned pale.
Without daring to meet Isabella’s gaze, he pointed to a tall rock with a trembling hand.
“If you go straight in the direction of that rock, you will see a crack.”
“okay?”
Ohjin nodded and roughly stepped on the doppelganger’s legs.
“Aaaaaaa!!”
Both legs were crushed horribly, as if they had been caught in an industrial press.
“Isabella, the chains that bind her will remain in place?”
“yes. “It will last for about a day.”
Ojin nodded and turned in the direction pointed by the doppelganger.
“If you lied, you will see me again.”
“Keueuuuuu. “Huh.”
The doppelganger nodded, wriggling like a bug.
[My child had such a cruel side.]
Vega, who was sitting holding Ojin’s hair, said in a slightly shocked voice.
To her, who had only seen Oh Jin’s heroic side until now, seeing Oh Jin like this felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Oh Jin asked with a stinging expression.
“Are you disappointed?”
[No. In order to save the world, you may need to have poison in your heart. Don’t worry about it.]
Vega shook her head and stretched out her small hand to stroke Ojin’s head.
A tickling sensation like shaking a feather.
Ohjin frowned and walked towards the rock pointed by the doppelganger.
When I was slowly walking towards the rock like that.
“Mr. Ohjin… over there.”
Isabella narrowed her eyes and looked to one side.
“why?”
“I smell blood.”
It’s also very dark.
“…Let’s go.”
“I will take the lead, Oh Jin.”
Isabella walked towards Ojin, blocking him as if he were protecting him.
It must have been quite a distance, so I had to walk for close to 20 minutes to get to the place she said.
A small clearing created between tall rocks.
Hundreds of corpses were scattered inside.
“Ojina this….”
“They are natural guild members.”
Ojin frowned and looked at the corpses.
Bodies violently torn and crushed.
The condition of the corpses was so miserable that it seemed as if they had been sucked into an industrial machine.
[It looks like he was trying to protect something.]
Vega, who was looking at the corpses lying around with sad eyes, opened his mouth quietly.
As she said, the state of the corpses looked like they were trying to protect something precious from an intruder.
Ohjin nodded and found something that the Cheonhye guild members risked their lives to protect.
“Ojina! “It looks like this place!”
Ha-eun pointed to a narrow gap between rocks.
Grumble!
The flames that rose around her illuminated the surroundings.
Narrow rock crevice.
What was in between was….
“Ha installment…!”
It was Cheon Sang-gil’s dead body with his left chest cut open.
It must have been quite some time since he died, but the corpse was vibrating with rotten me.
“….”
Oh Jin looked down at the dead body of Cheon Sang-gil and gently closed his eyes.
Although I expected it when the doppelganger appeared in the form of Heavenly Road.
Seeing the corpse in person like this made me feel confused.
‘I didn’t catch the snake by the tail.’
he is.
They grabbed the snake’s head, not its tail.
It also has the head of a snake with very vicious fangs.
Rumbling!
The entire rocky area shook with a thunderous roar.
Ojin gently bit his lip and raised his spear.
“come.”
A group of hundreds of demonic beasts jumped from the high rock.
