Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 312
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-young’s reaction when he first entered the secret world.
‘What did it look like then?’
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-young’s violent reaction was clearly proof that Team Leader Woo Joo-young’s mental head was so ordinary that he could not withstand the atmosphere of the behind-the-scenes world.
“….”
“Mr. Lee Jae-heon?”
“I’m on my way.”
Lee Jae-heon thought as he followed Ha Seong-yoon.
‘But for something like that…’
Wasn’t it too ordinary?
‘It feels a little strange saying it like this.’
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. Isn’t it hard to find someone like Woo Woo-young even in Lee Yun-byeol, the most ordinary human being?
“…Team leader Woo Joo-young.”
“Yes, what’s going on?”
“How have you been these days?”
“….”
Ha Seong-yoon, who rolled his eyes at Lee Jae-heon’s words, answered.
“…You seem to be doing well, but… Is there a problem?”
“No, there is none. “I was just curious.”
Then, one more question arises here.
‘How are you?’
In this crazy world?
‘…Isn’t it a little strange?’
Because he has memories of his past life, Lee Jae-heon often goes back and forth, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what’s normal. The secret world was a special place even based on Lee Jae-heon’s past life, and Woo Joo-young was an ordinary good person even by this world.
‘But is that person doing well in the secret world? Is it possible? There’s even an abandoned dog monster and a key ring monster near the shelter… Even if you rely on the survivors you stay with, you’ll still have to come to your senses sometimes.’
It’s 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.
“…I’m glad you’re doing well.”
Even as I muttered that, I became curious.
‘How should I interpret this?’
Number 1, I acted like I was normal.
‘No, if I had done that, I wouldn’t have shown that kind of side when I first entered the secret world. It’s true that Woo Joo-young is a good employee, but he’s not a good chick.’
Number 2: I’m acting like I’m okay.
‘…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? It’s not impossible, but the probability itself is low.’
If so, number 3.
“Ah, Manager…!”
“Team leader Woo.”
I am adapting to the underworld.
“Over there, In-ho and Da-hoon are in really bad condition.”
“okay?”
“Could 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 him…”
Lee Jae-heon looked into Woo Woo-young’s 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.
“…Huh.”
“…Boss?”
“I 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. “It’s even more of a problem if you touch it and think strange things about it.”
“But it looks so painful…”
“It’s probably closer to confusion than pain. Please tell others not to touch it as much as possible and to leave it alone. “I will also intervene based on the situation, and if a problem arises, the doctor here will take appropriate action.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was pointed out by Lee Jae-heon, rolled his eyes and smiled.
“I am not a neurologist or psychiatrist.”
“I 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.”
“I don’t think it’s a bad idea.”
Ha Seong-yoon nodded.
Knowing that Jeong In-ho and Park Da-hoon were regressors, he would have thought that Lee Jae-heon’s words were valid to some extent. Even if you don’t know how those two died in the previous episode, you would have guessed that the ending would have been hell itself.
‘If I were to intervene in that situation, it would get even worse.’
I’m 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 ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who turned into a plaster monster, again, I wouldn’t 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-yoon’s reactions, soon nodded.
“Ah, I get it.”
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.
“…Well….”
It was a look I often saw at work.
Team Leader Woo Soo-young’s 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.
“I don’t 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? “There’s no need to rush.”
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 ‘doctor’, but he had reached his mental limit, so he had to return to reality quickly, but he couldn’t go to kill the final boss in this situation.
‘…There’s no fucking sane bastard.’
When Lee Jae-heon looked at Ha Seong-yoon with a sour gaze, the other person smiled and asked.
“Say it in words, patient.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’ll be okay.”
It’s not okay.
‘If Ha Seong-yoon had lost his temper, I would have said everything.’
Among the chicks, the survivor who was closest to an adult was Ha Seong-yoon. The fact that even Ha Seong-yoon answered vaguely, ‘It’ll be okay,’ 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.
‘Even if we try to use this opportunity to raise other personnel, it would be impossible right now…’
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 won’t be able to kill it even if you find it, so it was better to rest until you can recover.
“…Just… let’s all get some rest together. “Very well.”
Lee Jae-heon muttered in a half-resigned tone.
“Before we all start searching together.”
To be honest, Lee Jae-heon’s 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, can’t possibly be in a good state.
“teacher?”
“What is it?”
“Teacher, please go in and rest. “Do you know what’s going on right now?”
“Did it happen like this?”
“If you know now, it would be better to rest.”
Ha Seong-yoon said with a smile.
“Now that the situation is like this, why don’t 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. “You must be tired, so let’s rest for a while.”
“…Am I really okay? “What on earth happened in front of the school?”
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.
“Let’s take a break too.”
“Oh, let’s take a look at the patients’ condition for a moment…”
“Then just check my condition and take a rest. Ha Seong-yoon has also opened his eyes now.”
“….”
Ha Seong-yoon, tracing the area around his eyes with his hand, nodded.
“…I don’t know what was in front of Eonhak High School, but it’s scary. “It’s driving me crazy too.”
“That’s right.”
Lee Jae-heon sighed inwardly at the sight of Ha Seong-yoon calmly matching Lee Jae-heon’s lies.
‘I won’t be able to move for a while.’
Not only Jung In-ho but also Ha Seong-yoon must have been under a lot of stress. From what I’ve heard, it seems like he feels a lot of shame about himself for not being a ‘doctor’, but he couldn’t have been stressed since he couldn’t even perform a proper surgery and his pride was hurt by Azalea’s folk remedies.
Lee Jae-heon nodded inwardly and pushed Ha Seong-yoon toward the rest area and looked at Woo Woo-young.
“Team leader Woo.”
“yes yes?”
“Is our Team Leader Woo okay?”
“Me? That’s fine with me…”
“Why?
“…Did I do something wrong…?”
“well.”
He laughed at my everyday shyness towards ‘Manager Lee Jae-heon’ as if I were in reality. Woo Joo-young’s shoulders shook greatly as he smiled a gentle smile that did not suit ‘Manager Lee Jae-heon’. Lee Jae-heon observed it calmly and continued.
“I’m not sure.”
I was curious as to why Woo Joo-young looked so fine.
‘It’s not a bad thing, but…’
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.
“….”
Wait a minute.
‘adaptation?’
So you adapted to the underworld?
“Team Woo…”
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.
“You are here.”
“Ugh!”
“Huh.”
“…Why are you both surprised…?”
Garam Yoon said with a sheepish smile on his face.
“Dahun was looking for the manager earlier. Dayoung is taking care of me a lot by my side, but since I can’t calm down easily, Dayoung is also crying…” At
those words, Woo Joo-young looked at Lee Jae-heon with a look that said, ‘I’m right.’ Lee Jae-heon, who frowned for a moment, quickly responded with a calm expression.
“Oh, I’ll go.”
“I’m sorry you must be tired.”
“What are you saying? I didn’t even go to school…”
At those words, Ha Seong-yoon turned to Lee Jae-heon. It must have sounded strange because the image of ‘Lee Jae-heon’ walking around the school was vivid in my memory. However, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had no memories before returning, so he nodded as if he understood.
“I will go to Jeong In-ho.”
“Take a break, right?”
“I’d like to have a brief conversation.”
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.
“….”
Lee Jae-heon, who was looking at Ha Seong-yoon’s back, approached Park Da-hoon.
“Dahun?”
“…mister.”
“The condition is not good.”
As he said, Park Da-hoon’s 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. Doesn’t this face look like it’s about to pout?
“mister.”
“okay.”
“….”
Park Da-hoon, who was looking up at Lee Jae-heon blankly, asked.
“…Are you going to scold me?”
From the looks of it, it didn’t really seem like ‘Lee Jae-heon’ had called him because he was happy to see him.
‘There is a strange feeling of rejection.’
It wasn’t the type of rejection that made him hate ‘Lee Jae-heon’, 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.
“What did you do to say something like that?”
“Don’t throw it away.”
“I won’t throw it away.”
“…Really….”
“I’m not throwing it away.”
Lee Jae-heon looked back at Park Da-young with the meaning of ‘Why on earth is he like this?’ But he must have sensed something in Park Da-hoon’s condition and Park Da-young’s condition didn’t 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.
“…I think I should run away.”
“Where?”
“In this mountain…”
he muttered.
“Everyone died on this mountain.”
Lee Jae-heon instinctively sensed that Park Da-hoon was lying, but he didn’t bother to criticize him.
“….”
He asked Park Da-hoon, pretending to be calm with a faint smile.
“Where shall we run away?”
“….”
Park Da-hoon muttered.
“Vegetable garden.”
“Garden?”
“…I can live there.”
“aha.”
Jaeheon Lee’s smile deepened.
And yet they all died on the mountain?
