Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 412
Episode 412
Lee Jae-heon’s phrases always contained at least 50% of the truth.
This means that Lee Jae-heon must know the underlying truth in order to make a joke, and in that sense, Lee Jae-heon also had a lot of worries. Someday, there will come a time when I will have to tell you about the police officer who was Hong Gyeong-jun’s gunner and Lee Jae-heon’s teacher.
‘I didn’t know that Noh Yeon-seok and that bastard had met in person.’
Lee Jae-heon opened his mouth, recalling the story he heard from Jeong In-ho.
“…Could you tell me exactly what you want to hear? “I’m not asking you to describe my life from beginning to end…”
Hong Gyeong-jun was caught up in Lee Jae-heon’s words asking him to narrow down the range of criticism.
“I’m curious as to why you didn’t inform me, even though you probably knew through a previous background investigation that the police officer Jae-heon Lee met was my shooter.”
“Even if I say this, it really is.”
Jaeheon Lee wrinkled his face.
“Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s safety in the secret world is very low. There’s no way I could bring up such a person’s story to someone who is so anxious to take care of their own mentality, right? “Based on the details of the investigation, it didn’t seem like things ended well for either of you.”
“…That’s right. “Because I caught it.”
Ha Seong-yoon was impressed.
“Oh, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun himself?”
“…I was the first to witness the scene of his crime. Well, even thinking about it now makes me feel sick, but if I had heard it from the other side, I would have been even more distraught. But why didn’t they tell us in reality? “I’m sure there was a chance last time too.”
Lee Jae-heon shrugged his shoulders in response to Hong Gyeong-jun’s question.
“Because it was such a large number, I didn’t have enough mental space to reveal it… Even if I were to investigate it, I don’t know much about it other than the fact that the two of you mainly worked as a team. I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship it was, but I didn’t want to spoil it by pretending to know. “We weren’t close enough to have this conversation.”
“You look at me like a soggy biscuit…”
“You really mean this.”
Lee Jae-heon clicked his tongue and looked back at Ha Seong-yoon.
“Do you have anything to ask the doctor? “It’s late, so let’s quickly clean up and go back.”
“You look really bothered… um I don’t know.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was touching his earlobe, asked.
“Are you sure you weren’t treated harshly by that person?”
“A harsh act…”
“No, really, no…”
Before Hong Gyeong-jun could express his resentment on his behalf, Lee Jae-heon’s stomach exploded. In any case, it was truly devastating to have this image of a child abuser cast upon the police, who I found out was someone with the same face and same past life as me. I wanted to throw it all away.
Jaeheon Lee answered with a bug-bitten face.
“…Yes, no. “I said clearly before that I wasn’t.”
“aha.”
“I don’t know what stories have been going around among you all this time, but… I only learned this and that from that person, but I never suffered anything that could be called harsh treatment. Of course, since I was young at the time, I have nothing to say if such teachings are described as abuse, but it did not happen like you think.”
“I’m sure you know what ‘something like that’ means, right?”
“Look at your skill in holding the horse’s tail. I know, I know. Is that torture…? “Aren’t you thinking of something similar?”
“Hmm, I guess there really wasn’t any problem.”
“Thank you for recognizing this even now.”
Jeong In-ho asked with Hong Gyeong-jun’s face in the background looking relieved as if he had taken a digestive medicine.
“Then why on earth do you live like that?”
“Are you going to start a fight?”
“Oh my. I made a mistake. “Then who made you like that, Manager?”
“…That…”
I got a little confused at this point.
It was an overly direct question and I was at a loss for words.
‘I can’t say that because I’m just from another world.’
The world of my previous life was rife with death and violence, and those were natural occurrences. What can we expect from a world where the concept of ‘abuse’ was ambiguous in the first place?
Even kicking out children with no prospects in terms of talent was a common occurrence in my past life. Lee Jae-heon was also one of the children who was kicked out.
Having spent more than half of his childhood in the back alleys, he suffered a lot of what they call ‘harsh acts.’ And he gave it back by chewing it up physically. Since I was born in a world where I didn’t die, it was natural. Not only in the back alleys, but also in the sunny areas, people didn’t think it was strange.
“….”
“…Did I ask a question that was too difficult?”
“…It’s a bit like that.”
I wish someone could make the settings for me.
“Anyway… it wasn’t him. “Really.”
Ha Seong-yoon asked Lee Jae-heon, who was trying to give a vague answer.
“Did you say ‘perfect timing’ when you summarized it earlier?”
“yes?”
“You said that you met a police officer at just the right time twice and learned survival skills… “When you summarized it for me.”
“Why do people in my family have such good memorization skills?…”
Ha Seong-yoon smiled his characteristic gentle smile as he lamented. Although it was past midnight, he had a bright smile that somehow reminded me of the sunlight. It was also an annoyingly benevolent face.
“People from my house. I must be your older brother, right? “I hope he is at least a father or an uncle.”
“What kind of strange thing is this?”
“Then, Manager, you are everyone’s mother….”
“? “Let’s not cross our lines.”
The mother’s place belongs to our Mana.
“If you ask me, I would be the father.”
“Then I will be your uncle. Anyway, what I want to ask is when was that ‘perfect timing’? “I’m curious as to when you met that police officer and expressed it that way.”
“….”
“Are you having a hard time answering this too?”
“…That…”
Jaeheon Lee instinctively hesitated.
I’m not sure, but it looks like it will make the settings on its own if you keep quiet.
“…We met in the other side of the world.”
“I know that even if I don’t hear it. “What I’m curious about is under what circumstances did you meet in the other side of the world?”
“….”
“…Did that police officer even save you?”
Fuck this.
“I got a lot of help. “Thanks to you, I have survived until now.”
Lee Jae-heon also didn’t waste his time in reality by not coming up with any hypotheses.
‘Let’s sort it out.’
The ones fighting now are the managers and the writers.
Writers cannot use their power well outside of the underworld, while managers can use their power even in reality. Jaeheon Lee is now splitting his back between these two whales, and the snake cub appears to be a prototype.
‘No matter what its true identity is, it wouldn’t be strange to call it a prototype, considering that it took the lead before me. Then, you can roughly get an answer to how this world works.’
The person who created this world is his wife, the author, but for some reason, she is receiving a lot of interference from the administrator. She ran a prototype before Jae-heon Lee to kill the manager for full authority, but failed and created ‘Jae-heon Lee’, who would not have existed originally. We are planning for the future, and that is the point at hand.
I still don’t know why the prototype exists and why it’s wandering around in the form of a ghost, but I have a sense of what it should look like here.
“To say that I received a lot of help is not enough.”
“….”
“The fact that he even served us tea and made us sit down after barging in at this hour seems to indicate that he is willing to tell us to some extent. Could I be wrong?”
“…no.”
“Then please tell me in more detail.”
When ‘Lee Jae-heon’ hesitated, Ha Seong-yoon continued.
“You have already told us what happened in the past. “He said he had a bad reaction in the swimming pool because of that.”
“….”
“If you keep equivocating, at least I can only assume that the culprit of that incident is… a police officer with a face like a snake.”
“yes?”
“No matter how you think about it, that’s the face of a serial killer.”
At Ha Seong-yoon’s words, Hong Gyeong-jun said with a hurt look on his face.
“You’re speaking too harshly…”
“Be quiet, Detective. “I have no idea what’s going on right now?”
“It’s true that you look like a snake, but being a serial killer was a bit harsh. “Aren’t Song In-myeong and Sung Dae-young in the same category right now?”
“Um… I’m a bit sorry about that. “If my misunderstanding is correct, I will correct it immediately.”
“Thank you for the quick feedback.”
‘Jaeheon Lee’ nodded as if he had relaxed as he looked at the survivors who had become more flexible with their tongues as they said they had returned to reality. It was a gesture of surrender.
“…I will tell you, so please correct me now. “It’s a bit uncomfortable for me to hear, too.”
“If you tell me correctly. I haven’t heard back yet, sir. Who is the culprit? “It seems like it happened when I had the ability to regenerate, so it must have been a human I met in the other world… is he already dead?”
“As for the dead… I don’t know.”
Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment before answering.
“Can I just tell you that it was one of the… family…?”
I plan to decide who that is after seeing the faces of my family in person. There are a lot of crazy people gathered around, but there must be at least one person who turns into a mannequin.
‘Ha Seong-yoon, I praise your rich imagination.’
Of course, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ has never actually entered the secret world and has never received the same education there as in his previous life. However, if the charges had to be placed on someone other than the snake bastard, the most likely suspects were the family of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
‘There is a limit to the probability of introducing another character here.’
Even by the standards of this world, they commit acts without conscience, are treated poorly by ‘Jae-heon Lee’, and are so accessible that ‘Jae-heon Lee’ has suffered since he was very young.
Even if he was a regular member of the underworld, he’s so crazy that you’d think he would be. A person who, even after hearing these disgusting survivors, will kneel and say, “Oh, it was worth it.” A person who understands why Lee Jae-heon did not mention the culprit or hesitated to talk about it.
If all these conditions had to be met, it was only Jaeheon Lee’s actual family.
Regardless of whether Jaeheon Lee organized the setting in his mind or not, the expressions on the survivors’ faces were not very good. Jeong In-ho stiffened while smiling, and Hong Gyeong-jun opened his eyes round. Ha Seong-yoon asked back with an expression of doubt as to whether what he heard was real and not an auditory hallucination.
“…Family?”
“Yeah whatever.”
“family.”
Immediately after that there was silence.
“….”
“….”
“…Wait a minute….”
Jeong In-ho asked, taking off his glasses and pressing his forehead. He was still smiling mischievously.
“You’re going to a family event this Friday?”
Actually, it was a family event and a party prepared at someone else’s house, but I didn’t bother to refute it. First of all, it’s okay to see the faces of your family.
“…Assistant Manager Jeong knows, but the more money a house has, the more sensitive it is to events like this. “It’s a place I can’t help but call even the ugliest youngest member who always lives as if he’s not there.”
“So you’re going?”
“I really don’t know what to say.”
Even though I was joking, I suddenly burst into laughter.
“I have to go anyway.”
It may be a bit unexpected, but a funny thing happened at this point.
“It’s an event that all my nephews and nieces come to, so it would be a shame if I, as their uncle, were to miss it.”
“Wow… Really…”
So far, no one has mentioned the police’s name.
The faces of the tired men laughed as if it was funny.
Jaeheon Lee forgot the name of his previous life. I don’t know if it was the manager’s act or the author’s insight, but it was an unfamiliar shock to know that he had forgotten something he cherished. To add another shock to this, the bastard in the police uniform of this world probably knew my name.
The policeman had the face of his past life. It seemed like his personality from his previous life was almost identical. He probably remembered more than the current Lee Jae-heon, and his strength and abilities were probably more complete. Unlike the current Lee Jae-heon, who is unstable and has been cut down on many things.
“…are you laughing now?”
“well.”
Is this change for my happiness or for my hell?
I don’t know anything yet.
“Sometimes you have to laugh.”
Ah…
I’m really upset.
