Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 483
Chapter 483:
Seodang Dog: Kwon Yeon-hee was said to have had a good month in three years and had poor combat power, but her survival skills were now at a level that could not be ignored.
It was worthwhile for the combat personnel to work hard to prepare for an unexpected situation.
When faced with a situation where she had to survive alone, Kwon Yeon-hee moved quickly.
“What you need to prepare is house fire, weapons, and bottled water. “Food comes after those four things are prepared, and since we got weapons from a convenience store and water is nearby, it’s time to complete the house.”
If it were normal survival, fire would have been prioritized over home, but this is a secret world. It was a dangerous mess full of monsters.
A shelter that would hide oneself from the monster’s sight was very important. Since it is a world where mental power is at the forefront, you can achieve peace of mind, so it can be said that you are killing two birds with one stone.
Yeonhee Kwon made a house on a tree by gathering long tree branches and wide leaves with a large spanner she brought from a convenience store.
Kwon Yeon-hee, who always added her own hands to what Yeon-seok and Bian led, was able to create a decent roof and floor after investing time.
“…It’s like this, so there’s no way there’s a monster living in the tree…?”
However, the sky-like manager said that most of the time, there are no dangerous monsters on trees that are not easily visible to humans. Of course, there are crazy people everywhere, and I don’t know what kind of monster that bastard’s thoughts might have created, so I asked him to take a close look and decide on a location, but there was no monster in sight here.
‘I must have checked carefully.’
If it had been real, there would have been traces of the beast’s life, but there was no such thing for the monsters of the other world. I had to keep my eyes peeled for monsters and avoid them on my own.
Because the house was built on trees, fires could not be lit inside the shelter.
“It will stand out.”
Kwon Yeon-hee lit a bonfire on the ground a little below the house. The lighter that all survivors of the underworld carry with them played a big role.
“I’m glad this lighter didn’t rot.”
A chill ran down my spine as I thought about how, if I had been unlucky, I would have had to start a fire with my own life.
I have said it many times, but Kwon Yeon-hee’s combat power, physical strength and strength were close to that of a midge. I managed to build the house in a timely manner, but I wasn’t confident that I could create a 100% pure organic fire by rubbing wood together.
As smoke came out of the bonfire, all the bug monsters went away.
“This is just like reality.”
Kwon Yeon-hee looked around the bonfire, recalling memories of staying in the park in front of Oseong headquarters. Seeing that it was burning brightly, it seemed like there would be no problem for the next few hours, and the day passed like that.
The next day, Kwon Yeon-hee went to fetch water. The lake was much further away than it was in reality, perhaps because it had turned into a hidden world.
She realized that there were fish living in the lake.
“… Are there caterpillars that taste like blood here too?”
Compared to the park in front of Oseong headquarters, which had become a jungle, it was a flat flower field, but even so, there were quite a few trees where Kwon Yeon-hee was staying.
If you tear open the tree bark, you might be able to find larvae inside that can be used as fish bait.
In conclusion, I didn’t find the bug I was looking for, but I still found a similar type of bait.
“Boss…!”
There was an earthworm made of blood.
“Ah, Manager! I miss you, Manager…! “It’s disgusting!”
What on earth is this monster that was created with such thoughts that it ends up looking like this?
In fact, the bright red earthworm was a monster whose thoughts were embodied based on the earthworms that passers-by had stepped on, but Kwon Yeon-hee had no way of knowing that. It was just disgusting.
Even though she was half crying, Kwon Yeon-hee diligently made a fish trap, put an earthworm inside it, attached a string, and placed it in the lake.
So we returned to the tree shelter, but…
“…hehe.”
Within a few hours, we headed back to the lake.
However, perhaps because it was a garden with strong natural elements, the place where Kwon Yeon-hee stayed was peaceful. There seemed to be no disadvantage as long as you didn’t go into the flower garden, and there were few threatening monsters. But with no survivors to talk to, there was no way I was in the mood for a good rest.
In short, it was boring to sit still and wait. It would have been right to find a safer place or reinforce the shelter during times of boredom, but I didn’t have enough stamina to do that.
In the end, what Yeonhee Kwon chose was to stop by the lake where the fish were swimming and check the traps.
“Wow, crazy.”
And there were quite a lot of fish caught in the trap.
“what? Are you saying this kind of luck will come to me? “I can’t believe it?”
That was when Kwon Yeon-hee was pulling up the fish trap.
Rustling.
“It’s mom.”
That’s why she cried out for her mother at the sight of an unfamiliar person.
At first I thought it was a monster. It may seem like she came out of boredom without much thought, and that’s true, but Yeonhee Kwon was still wary that there might be a monster nearby. Maybe there is a dangerous monster living in this lake. Like the green algae monster from before.
For a moment, she put down the fish trap and grabbed a wrench, but what Kwon Yeon-hee saw was none other than a person.
“who are you?”
It was a funny question even though he asked it himself.
I was surprised because I didn’t expect to encounter an unfamiliar survivor who wasn’t even a monster in such a remote area, but it was also true that my reaction was really dumb.
The other person was a man with a thin body and a weak appearance.
“Hey, I, I… who…?”
“You mean you’ll meet a survivor here?”
“Wait a minute, who are you really…?”
Unlike Kwon Yeon-hee, who immediately accepted it by saying, ‘Wow, you’re a crazy survivor?’, the man seemed to have less understanding of the situation. Eyes wide open as if embarrassed and a step backward as if contemplating whether to jump or not. The reaction was that people thought she was either a monster imitating a human or a dangerous survivor.
However, Kwon Yeon-hee, who was living alone, had no intention of losing her partner.
Kwon Yeon-hee didn’t know when others would kill the final boss. As she imagined being left alone for that long, she was hungry for conversation. The man who walked away like a delicate deer was good prey for Kwon Yeon-hee.
‘Think about it, Kwon Yeon-hee.’
How did they kidnap you?
“Would you like to eat fish with me? “I also cook amazing fish.”
“yes?”
“Ah, don’t go. I’m not a strange person.”
…That was the meeting that happened.
Kwon Yeon-hee was able to become happy only after she succeeded in crying and holding on to the man who seemed to have impure intentions as he slowly tried to walk away. Just knowing that I was not alone gave me a great sense of mental stability.
“My name is Yeonhee Kwon! I’m working at the Oseong headquarters, and today was the weekend, so I went out to have some fun and was blown away! “I am very happy to meet a survivor with all four limbs intact!”
“…My limbs are fine….”
“Ah, stop talking to the manager.”
It seemed that Lee Jae-heon’s speaking habit, which was usually obsessed with the presence or absence of limbs, had taken over.
The man tried to run away again, perhaps sensing the eerieness of his choice of words, but he couldn’t let him go anymore since he had dragged him to the shelter. Kwon Yeon-hee clung to the man’s waist and cried.
“Don’t abandon me! Don’t go! Ah, where are you going…!”
“Hehehe…”
“I’m not a scary person…! “I’m a total sick person, no, I’m just a midge…!”
As expected, he almost called himself a chick, just like Lee Jae-heon’s speaking habit, but he thought he was too cute to compare himself to, so he changed the word. I didn’t want to seem like a terminally ill patient who was referring to himself as a chick to the precious survivor I was meeting for the first time.
Fortunately, the man acknowledged that Kwon Yeon-hee, who was crying like a dumpling, was harmless and sat down again.
“…I am Seo In-young. “It’s that doctor.”
“Heook, awesome! A job specialized in survival in the underworld! “You have to carry the doctor on your back!”
“Oh, no, you don’t mean that…”
Doctor Seo In-young, who was shaking her hand and head as if she was unfamiliar with such fuss, soon blinked and asked back.
“…The other side of the world?”
“yes? Ah yes. “It’s the other side of the world.”
“…Do you call this the underworld?”
“ah.”
Seo In-young seemed to not know much about the behind-the-scenes world.
In fact, our survivor team was also arbitrarily using the name ‘Behind the Scenes’ as an official name, so this actually embarrassed Kwon Yeon-hee. Kwon Yeon-hee, who was doing some calculations, instead asked Seo In-young a question.
“Uh, here… When was your first encounter with this world?”
“…I think it was around March of this year… “I’m not sure.”
“Oh, it was just that time for me too. “Then who were you holding hands with at that time?”
“yes? “What…”
“No, were you in contact?”
“Oh no?”
“aha!”
Yeonhee Kwon drew a clear conclusion.
“You’re crazy too! nice to meet you!”
“…yes…?”
“It’s okay. People can go a little crazy.”
“….”
“Ah, don’t go. I’m not really a strange person.”
It seemed like the other person was too wary, so Kwon Yeon-hee explained what she knew about the behind-the-scenes world.
This crazy world was created to reflect the thoughts of real people, and in March, new members of the other side were forcibly recruited. And even the fact that Seo In-young will probably be a regular member.
“Fixed members can enter the secret world as soon as it opens, even if there is no contact. If you are sure that you are a normal person, there probably was someone nearby who was selected as a regular member when the secret world was first opened. When recruiting new members, they say that you will be brought to the other side of the world just by being in that building or place….” “….” “If you were
dragged
in like that and completely acclimatized when you first visited the other side of the world, you will be considered a regular member. You would have been considered “I also became a fixed member in a similar vein.”
“Oh… that…”
Doctor Seo In-young asked.
“Who told you that? “That person called the manager…?”
“yes that’s right. Our manager is the last survivor among the members of the last secret world…? It’s the same thing, so they know more about this and that than us. “The name ‘Underworld’ was not created by the manager, but was recorded by another survivor and is being used as the official name.”
“Ah…”
After hearing Kwon Yeon-hee’s words, Seo In-young lowered her head and muttered.
“These days, I meet a lot of people called managers….”
“Huh?”
“Oh no. it’s nothing.”
Seo In-young shook her head and asked again.
“Then do you know how to get out of this world? Judging by your reaction, it seems like you know something…”
“Huh? yes. “You just have to kill the final boss.”
“….”
Seo In-young’s shocked expression made it seem as if she could hear her inner thoughts, saying, ‘What nonsense?’ even without saying anything.
“…Really.”
Kwon Yeon-hee had to explain it like an excuse.
Somewhere in this world, dangerous monsters that would not be strange to call the final boss live, and if you kill them, which is the key, all survivors can return to reality.
And then he added:
“I’m giving up. Other people will kill you. No matter what I do, I’m useless in combat…”
“Ah…”
Doctor Seo In-young let out an exclamation as if she understood. Even to him, who is seeing her for the first time, Kwon Yeon-hee’s fighting skills do not seem very usable.
Kwon Yeon-hee became a little bitter. I tried to exercise like the team leader, but I was afraid that I would end up in the underworld while I was at the exercise academy, so I couldn’t even apply.
‘But I’m still working hard at running…’
“…So then, Yeonhee Kwon is not a resident of this area.”
“Oh, right. “All my colleagues in the other world are over there.”
“…colleague.”
“….”
It’s a sullen voice.
‘…Did I step on a landmine just now?’
Holy shit. Kwon Yeon-hee broke into a cold sweat.
The reaction was too pitiful to be considered not a land mine.
