I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 269
Part 2 begins
I am not a returner Episode 269
Greed and love (1)
“Ojinaa~!”
When I opened the hospital room door, I heard a familiar voice.
A voice that makes you feel happy, as if your body is floating just by hearing it.
Ha-eun, who I thought had fallen asleep from exhaustion, approached me at a slow pace.
“Where did you go?”
“Let’s get some air for a moment.”
Oh Jin hung the coat he was wearing on a hanger and entered the VIP hospital room, which was as spacious as a hotel room.
“huh?”
Haeun tilts her head.
She walked towards Ojin and gently touched his cheek.
“…What’s going on?”
“….”
What’s going on?
Nothing particularly special happened.
It’s just that I realized something I hadn’t realized until now.
But how can I tell Ha-eun that?
The identity of the Heavenly Demon is none other than himself.
‘I don’t know what they did to get back to the past.’
It is different from general ‘regression’.
Because the consciousness of my past life was not superimposed on me now.
Rather than a regression, this was closer to going back in time in a time machine.
Otherwise, the existence of two ‘misdiagnoses’ at the same time cannot be explained.
“Are you coming?”
“ah. huh. never mind.”
“It’s nothing.”
The hand that was smoothing my cheek continues to pull it.
Ha-eun frowned slightly and put on a stern expression.
“Do you want to keep lying to your sister? “It’s written all over your face that something happened, but why is it that nothing happened?”
Was it all revealed on his face enough for Ha-eun to notice?
Oh Jin smiled bitterly.
Now that it was like this, I had no choice but to use another method.
“I heard news that the kings of the Demon World are on the move.”
“The king of the devil?”
“huh.”
Ha-eun’s attention was diverted to other topics, keeping the matter of Cheonma’s identity buried deep in her mind.
“So… those so-called kings are attacking Earth?”
Ha-eun asked back with a serious expression.
Fortunately, it seems like they were able to trick Ojin into thinking that the reason his expression was so hard was because of the kings of the Demon World.
Ohjin nodded and continued speaking.
“Probably so.”
“Then contact the council right away…”
“Probably not right away.”
Until now, the being called the King of Demonic Worlds has never directly invaded Earth.
No, most people didn’t even know that there was a being called ‘King’ in the Demonic World.
That means there was no noticeable movement.
“There must have been some kind of restriction.”
No matter how much the Heavenly Demon intervenes, they will not swarm into Earth overnight.
“Okay. “Are they the next ones after the Black Saints?”
Ha-eun shook her head as if she was fed up.
“Ojina, but you said ‘kings’ earlier, right? “Are there more than one king?”
“I guess so?”
“So how many kings are there?”
“That’s…”
There is only one city that Ojin sees in the Demonic World that can be called a ‘kingdom’.
I didn’t know how many such cities there were.
“I don’t know either.”
[Then you can ask Riak.]
“Huh?”
Ojin’s eyes widened at the sudden voice.
While I was preoccupied with the conversation with Ha-eun, Vega suddenly appeared and was soaring.
Vega naturally sat on Ojin’s head as if it were a reserved seat.
She sighed deeply and tapped Ojin’s forehead.
[I came here to scold you after hearing that you had regained consciousness from the leech child… but I heard something troubling.] I heard you said you could
n’t see Isabella, so maybe she went to the sanctuary.
“Anyway, what do you mean, ask Riak?”
Ha-eun asked, tilting her head.
[Riak is from the Demon Lord.]
“What?”
[Well, it’s already been over a hundred years, but… that child probably knows more about Demon Lord than the real woman.]
Ha-eun’s mouth widened.
“So, you’re saying that the arrogant poop puppy used to be a magic beast?”
[To be exact, he is a member of the beastman tribe.]
“Huh? “Isn’t it true that only demonic beasts live in the Demon World?”
[Hmm… From the perspective of humans, it would not be wrong to say that the beastmen are also a type of demon beast.] The
strange creatures that came to Earth after the first crack opened 10 years ago are collectively called monsters or demon beasts.
In fact, that was the same as calling humans, tigers, rabbits, and bears all mammals without distinction since they are all the same mammals.
The reason dozens of species are collectively called demon beasts is simply because the information about demon beasts that humanity possesses is poor.
‘Not long ago, there was a lot of talk about whether they should be called monsters or demon beasts.’
Originally, normal entities were divided into monsters, mutant entities, and demonic entities, but due to the rapid increase in mutant entities, the distinction between regular entities and mutant entities became blurred, so they were called simply magical beasts.
Anyway, whether it was a monster or a demon beast, it couldn’t be called an accurate name.
“Then can you call Riak right away?”
[Uhm. Please wait a moment.]
Vega, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, soon shook her head.
[It looks like he’s stuck in the training room again.]
“Can’t you contact me?”
Vega nodded.
[I guess I’ll have to go and get it myself.]
“No. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Even if I called Riak right now and heard how many demon kings there were, it wasn’t like I could come up with a plan right away.
“When those kings come to Earth… will it be like it was 10 years ago?”
“Worst case.”
“….”
Ha-eun gently bit her lip.
The first crack opened and the demonic beasts poured out.
The image of the street becoming hell flashed through my head.
Oh Jin lightly placed his hand on Ha Eun’s shoulder, who was clenching her fist with a serious expression.
“are you okay. “I will stop it before it happens.”
“Do you have any ideas in mind?”
Ohjin nodded slightly.
He looked around at Ha-eun and Vega and opened his mouth quietly.
“You can’t wait until the other side hits you right?”
Even if you find out the identity of the Heavenly Demon.
I didn’t know what his purpose was or what his specific plan was.
But one thing is certain.
There is no way to stop him by just waiting for the disaster to come.
[What is that….]
“Let’s go.”
Oh Jin looked out the darkened window with deeply sunken eyes.
“To the devil’s eye.”
It was not a problem that could be solved by staying quiet.
We had to move here first before being fully prepared and attacking from the other side.
“…under.”
Ha-eun laughed with an absurd expression on her face.
I’m going to go to the devil’s palace.
It wasn’t an easy way to think of it.
Because the Demonic World was a forbidden land for mankind that they were reluctant to even mention.
but.
“I can’t stop you anyway.”
If he decides to go.
Ha-eun had no choice but to follow him quietly.
Even if it were a place where the limbs had little chance of returning alive, it would be much better than a world without misdiagnosis.
[…No matter how much you may be a returner, you really act as if you have multiple lives.]
Vega also placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
“I know it’s dangerous.”
Magyeong.
Even 10 years after the first crack opened, it is an unknown land with less than 5% of it still uncovered.
Going there was so reckless that it was practically a declaration of suicide.
but.
“But I have no intention of matching his rhythm.”
Ojin’s eyes narrowed.
It does not matter whether the identity of the Heavenly Demon is his/her past life self or not.
Whatever he lost in his past life.
No matter what despair and tragedy you have experienced.
What do you mean?
“….”
“huh? “Why are you coming?”
Oh Jin firmly held Ha Eun’s hand as she tilted her head.
No matter what happened to you in your past life.
It is he, not he, who is protecting her by her side now.
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
Ha-eun blushed and cleared her throat.
He glanced at Ojin with a coy look and gently leaned in.
“Even if you don’t hold on tight like this, your sister will go with you, so don’t worry?”
Ha-eun stuck out her chest as if showing off.
The curvaceous curve of the chest was emphasized and stole Oh Jin’s attention.
Vega, who was looking at Ha-eun with his arms crossed and a sullen expression, opened his mouth.
[Of course, the main woman will follow too!]
Vega, who was sitting on top of Ojin’s head, pulled Ojin’s hair.
Hmm!
Vega let out a strong snort and glared at Ha-eun.
[I’m not going alone with you!]
“Heng. “It’s not like we can stay together forever.”
[That’s it.]
Vega clenched his fists as if he was angry.
[But aren’t the restrictions weaker than before?]
“Hmm? “Restrictions have become weaker?”
Ohjin tilted his head as he heard this news for the first time.
[Oh, by the way, I guess you didn’t hear it.]
Vega continued, crossing her arms.
[The restrictions of the law have been weakened a few days ago.]
“Again? “You were weak last time too.”
[I’m not sure why. A long time has passed since the giants who created the law disappeared…]
Vega narrows his eyes as if he doesn’t know what’s going on.
“So now the constellations can directly appear in the material world?”
[Not to that extent. Ah, but it is possible to manifest indirectly using a prosthetic body like the original woman.]
Until now, indirectly manifesting using a prosthetic body was impossible unless you were a constellation of the North Star like Vega.
[anyway! This means that the time the main woman can remain incarnate has also become longer!]
Vega, who was flying through the air, sat down on Ojin’s shoulder and broke his leg.
Ha-eun pursed her lips as if she didn’t like Vega’s smug expression.
“So when do you plan to go to the Demon Lord?”
“There is a lot to prepare, so it will be difficult right now.”
This is the road to Magyeong, not any other place.
Since we don’t know how many people will be in the devil’s eye, a lot of preparation will be needed.
“We need to meet the other Chilseongs and talk about the king.”
“Well, this isn’t something that only we know about.”
Ha-eun nodded.
“Then I’ll tell Manager Gorilla.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Don’t try to overexert yourself for the time being and stay quietly in the hospital room.”
Ha-eun dragged Oh Jin to the bed in the hospital room.
“You’re still a patient, right?”
“…Who was the person who attacked the patient?”
Oh Jin laughed as if it was absurd.
Well, as she said, it is true that she has not yet completely recovered from the aftereffects of Gaecheon.
Even though the heukcheon had bloomed for the ninth time, instead of overflowing with strength, only deep fatigue was weighing down my body.
“I’ll be leaving then, so get some rest.”
“ok.”
[I guess I should go see Riak too.]
Ha-eun and Vega left the hospital room.
“Whoa.”
Left alone, Oh Jin lay down on the wide bed.
‘First of all, I need to get some rest like my sister said.’
Although there was a lot of work to be done.
This was something that could not be done when the body had not recovered.
Oh Jin lay down on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
* * *
haha.
A warm breath touches your lips.
Beautiful platinum blonde hair that looks like it was made of melted gold tickles your cheeks.
“Oh Jin… will you keep your promise?”
The two peaks boasting incredible volume press on Ojin’s chest as if a landslide had occurred.
A soft texture that feels like being surrounded by clouds.
‘what.’
Is it a dream?
