Theatrical Regression Life - Chapter 551
Episode 551
Lee Jae-heon needed Park Da-young.
To be precise, the abilities of these Park siblings are needed.
‘In the original novel, the two switched places and somehow survived. At least it means that we can kill time by switching positions. In the process of killing the final boss, every second will be urgent, so these two abilities must be utilized…’
However, for some reason, unlike the original novel, Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon were unable to properly awaken their abilities.
Jaeheon Lee could hardly understand. I could have awakened him with just a little effort, so why was he left like this? If you see that he is a telepath, he has already awakened to some extent, so it wouldn’t have been that difficult.
‘…There would be no point in worrying about what I am now. It’s an inefficient idea.’
Instead, Jaeheon Lee smiled softly.
“Can you talk to Dahun now?”
If Lee Jae-heon of the past couldn’t do it, the current Lee Jae-heon could do it instead.
The first step was communicating with Park Da-hoon, who was in a state of panic.
“I think Dayoung said that earlier that things aren’t going well…” “
…Yes, I think it’s very bad.”
Park Da-young, who was patted in Lee Jae-heon’s arms, fell out with a sound of nose-blindness. The unfocused eyes and lack of proper eye contact made me look like I was sulking, but it didn’t matter.
He patted the poor chick again and asked.
“okay? How about now? “You still can’t speak?”
“…yes.”
“I thought so.”
Since Park Da-hoon was so far away, there was a problem that it was difficult to communicate with anyone other than Park Da-young. Park Da-hoon’s condition did not seem to be very good even for the survivors to check from a distance where they could not even make eye contact.
My body was stiff and trembling. He was breathing as if he were dead, occasionally shaking and struggling as if he were struggling. Although the sound was muffled by the water in the tank, he often screamed.
“I definitely feel like I’ve lost my temper.”
In the meantime, holding on to at least one doll made me feel grumpy for no reason.
‘…If he had accidentally torn it while struggling while out of his mind, Da-hoon Park would have felt less guilty and it would have been easier for me and the other survivors. These soft chicks really bother people…’
Of course, thanks to that, it seemed like it would be a little more likely to awaken the abilities of the Park siblings. Giving the chicks harsh training right away wouldn’t go well with ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who was said to be kind and affectionate towards them.
Lee Jae-heon quietly thanked Park Da-hoon for giving him an excuse like this.
“Then can Dayoung comfort her little brother?”
“…Please comfort me?”
“Yeah, I guess I’ll try to comfort her. “If it’s a situation where conversation isn’t possible, just enough to be able to move Dahoon’s tense, stiff hands… just that much.”
“…You want me to control Da-hoon…?”
“No, I’m trying to persuade you. “We are now in a situation where we have to expect Dahun to tear up the doll.”
“….”
“Do you think you can do it?”
As I asked carefully, being considerate of the extremely soft chick, I saw Park Da-young looking up at me with an uncomfortable expression. Perhaps ‘Lee Jae-heon’ wasn’t like this normally, but it couldn’t be helped.
‘Because I know very little about Lee Jae-heon in the past.’
Judging by the reaction, it seemed like the character from the original was loosely copied from the old manager.
But Lee Jae-heon behaved much more gently than that. It probably seemed like it was part of an act to restore the relationship with the main character while justifying the pathetic behavior of the old manager in the past.
‘But if that’s going to happen, I should have done better. What is this? It’s clearly visible that the chicks were just manipulated without being able to raise them properly… What a pathetic bastard.’
Anyway, the current Lee Jae-heon did not want to act like he used to. Not only did I not know exactly how it was done, but Jae-heon Lee’s method in the past was too inefficient in the current situation.
“huh? “Dayoung.”
That’s why Jaeheon Lee encouraged Dayoung Park.
As gently as possible. Be careful not to make the soft chick feel like a threat.
“Try talking to me first.”
“…Uncle….”
“You can do it. You’re smart and strong, right? Dahun seems very scared… It wouldn’t be strange or bad to appease him. “My younger brother is having a hard time.”
“…I really…”
“There’s nothing for you to be afraid of.”
You’re going to die or regress anyway.
“I’m just trying to get your little brother out of that stuffy box.”
“….”
“Nothing more or less than that… right?”
Jaeheon Lee rolled his eyes.
‘i envy you.’
You can die.
‘…Maybe it’s because my injury is so severe, but I keep having random thoughts. ‘It shouldn’t be like this.’
Perhaps because the sound of the water is disturbing the brain, it is not very effective. Rather than harboring useless sentiments, shouldn’t we encourage them to quickly defeat the final boss and move on?
Lee Jae-heon caught the spirit that was about to jump to a strange place. He commanded gently but firmly.
“Try talking to me.”
Only then did Park Da-young nod her head.
“….”
“….”
The little chick started crying.
“Dayoung.”
“…Uh ah….”
“Dayoung, you should listen to him.”
“Mister….”
“Oh my.”
The dark purple sparkling eyes are very pretty.
“You’re doing your best.”
“Ugh….”
“That’s amazing.”
Jaeheon Lee smiled softly.
“But what if you get swept away by your younger brother? “That won’t work.”
Perhaps because she was trying too hard, Park Da-young seemed to identify herself with her younger brother, Park Da-hoon.
This also meant that Park Da-hoon fell into a severe panic. The mental confusion was so severe that even Park Da-young, the channel of communication, was swept away. I didn’t think anything good would happen if I left it like this.
“….”
Jaeheon Lee exhaled quietly and slowly.
‘That’s why I don’t want to get involved with soft people…’
Aren’t they really troublesome people?
“I want to go out…”
“Focus.”
However, Jaeheon Lee decided to be patient and guide this chick.
“Dayoung.”
Jaeheon Lee stroked Dayoung Park’s cheek and made eye contact with her.
Jaeheon Lee spoke to Dayoung Park while constantly stimulating her through tactile and visual senses. Just like I did in the past for my teammates who were struggling due to lack of strength…
“Park Da-young. You are here and your younger brother, Park Da-hoon, is in that box. You are not Dahoon Park. There’s no need to cry. You are already out, and if this goes well, your younger brother can come out too. No one will die and no one will be trapped.”
“It’s frustrating…”
“It’s okay, I can breathe. “Try breathing slowly.”
“Inhale…”
“…1 2 3… inhale 4 5 6… exhale…”
Fortunately, the smart chick followed Jaeheon Lee’s words well even while panting.
“That’s right, you’re good at it.”
He also showered her with generous praise so that she could imprint her progress.
“What is your name, Dayoung?”
“…Park Dayoung….”
“Where are you now? Who do you see in front of you?”
“…Uncle yo….”
“What are you doing now?”
Jaeheon Lee asked.
“Who am I talking to in my head right now?”
“… Dahun… and….”
“Really? “What does Dahun say now?”
“….”
Park Da-young stutters her answer.
“It’s scary…”
“Yes.”
“It’s hard to ask for your life. “It’s too cold.”
“I see.”
“I asked you to take it out… just…”
“Are you crying?”
“…Yes….”
“It’s pitiful. yes?”
“….”
“We should help.”
Because he was connected to Park Da-hoon, who was in a state of severe panic, Park Da-young’s confusion also became extreme, making it very easy to delve into his brain.
The answer came quickly as I held her and shook her gently with a gentle voice.
“I need help.”
“that’s right.”
“Dahun, Dahun is crying….”
“He’s having a hard time.”
“It looks so difficult… I need to get it out quickly.”
“I think you’re right.”
Jaeheon Lee laughed slightly.
“Ask Dahun if he’s having a hard time.”
“….”
“Ask me if I feel very cold, lonely, and scared. “Did you do that?”
“….”
“Then ask if you need help now.”
As Park Da-young’s lips moved, Lee Jae-heon asked a soft question.
“Did Dahun answer?”
“…Yes….”
“What?”
“Please help me.”
“Then tell me to grab the doll.”
“….”
Park Da-young started crying.
No matter how distraught he was and how much he was shaken by Lee Jae-heon, he seemed to be deeply heartbroken that his beloved ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was in the process of dying. It was such a stupid and ineffective sentiment.
Jaeheon Lee urged.
“Did I tell you to grab the doll?”
“…I’m already holding it….”
“You have to hold it harder.”
“….”
“You have to hold it with both hands. That’s right, hold it with
both hands…” Stroking Park Da-young’s cheek with his only hand, Lee Jae-heon rolled his eyes and looked at the glass box inside the tank. I saw Park Da-hoon trapped inside. The poor chick was wet and shaking.
He was holding a doll in both hands.
“….”
He was holding the doll’s arms, one in each hand, gasping for water as the water lapping at the edge of the neck, and tears were streaming down from fear for no reason… with a face that I couldn’t tell if he was angry or scared.
Jaeheon Lee thought.
‘It seems that the greater the mental confusion, the faster the water rises. Yes, it seems clear.’
I thought this might be information that could be used in the next episode.
Jaeheon Lee saw Dayoung Park again.
“Is Dahun telling you that you’re ready?”
When I spoke as softly as possible, Dayoung Park trembled and bit her lip.
“…It hurts so much when you cry like that, Dayoung.”
“…Ah, uncle….”
“You really look a lot like your younger brother.”
“Mister….”
“You guys look so much alike. “They look like twins.”
It didn’t mean that they really had identical faces like twins.
Those eyes, which looked gentle and clever just like a half moon, were very similar to that pale expression that was shaking with fear of death.
“Definitely…”
Lee Jae-heon trailed off due to an unexpected sentiment.
“….”
The man’s expression also darkened.
It soon becomes expressionless.
“….”
Twins D.
“….”
I know children who look a lot like you.
I know that too…
“―Uncle!!”
“…!”
Startle.
Lee Jae-heon raised his head in surprise at Song In-myeong’s call.
“…Song In-myeong….”
“Mister!!”
“…Why are you calling me?”
As Lee Jae-heon asked, Jeong In-ho, who followed Song In-myeong, asked urgently.
“Chief, do you know where Minhong and Seoah went?!”
“…yes?”
“I can’t see either of you! Neither of them are in the concert hall! No matter how hard I search…!”
“….”
Lee Jae-heon’s body, which was covering Park Da-young as if he was going to eat her, quietly fell away.
“….”
His eyes scanned the concert hall.
A large concert hall. Numerous rooms arranged around a large water tank. A bottom where clear water laps shallowly. Spacious audience seating that can be accessed by stairs.
A bright blue world. Full of blue water….
“….”
The two small figures were nowhere to be seen.
“…ah.”
then.
It doesn’t work…?
