Theatrical Regression Life Chapter 208

Episode 208

“…A reference point?”

“I don’t know the details either.”

Jaeheon Lee sighed.

“But we know roughly how history unfolded.”

This was a setting where the content of the novel I already knew was half based on Lee Jae-heon’s guess.

The fact that history exists in the other world is something that also appears in the original novel. For example, a water snake monster that lives in a small lake. This guy got tired of the survivors blaming him for self-destruction by eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, so he went into the water. Therefore, all that remains on land is its skin.

“…Ah, about the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, I heard a little about it from Ha Seong-yoon. Is it in the same context?”

“It’s the same thing… I think. “If I were to make a rough guess, that would be it.”

In the first place, the hidden world reflects the thoughts of reality and at the same time periodically preys on the humans of that era. There are humans as well as monsters, so there is no way they have no history. Although the setting of the history of the underworld was never explained in detail in the novel, I remembered the secret history connected with the occasionally mentioned monsters.

So what we can say for sure is that there is a God, at least in the other side of the world.

‘Actually, if you look at it, it’s a world where the author is also a god.’

Lee Jae-heon swallowed his thoughts and continued.

“In the underworld, you can sometimes find traces of survivors. “It’s things like a rotting, flimsy wooden house, torn clothes, a worn-out notebook, or graffiti carved on the wall with a sharp object… You can read secret stories like wanting to go home, wanting to kill everyone, or a survival diary like something out of a movie.”

“…I suddenly feel upset.”

“In some of them, you can even find records of what happened in the underworld. There is nothing more important than survival, so I have never searched for such records, but based on what I have seen so far, I can say that there is a God. “I predict that there will be at least a transcendent person who can look down on the hidden world and exert influence.”

Of course, Lee Jae-heon didn’t find the records by rolling around himself; they were things he had read in novels in his past life, but since he couldn’t say such things now, he swallowed them cleanly down his throat.

And from here on, I had to mix Lee Jae-heon’s guess with the settings I had made.

“…First of all, yes, that’s right. There is a kind of genealogy.”

Fuck, honestly, this isn’t even a setting I created. Sounds like a fucking doctor.

“I think Ha Seong-yoon and Jeong In-ho have already figured it out, but there is one person who taught me.”

“…I taught you.”

“He is the one who taught me how to behave and survive in the underworld. “If my memory is not distorted, I think he was a police officer.”

Suddenly, my past life ended up teaching me in my current life.

‘If Ha Seong-yoon’s imagination had been a little lacking or if I had held on to my senses at the time, there wouldn’t have been a need for such a self-destructive device. I’m really going to turn around.’

However, the wide-open eyes that Ha Seong-yoon still wears were clearly looking at Lee Jae-heon’s past life. Since he spent most of his past life wearing a uniform, it would be impossible not to know that he was a police officer. I don’t know if you saw the face, but I couldn’t create a character in vain. If possible, the police officer who existed in ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ past had to imitate Lee Jae-heon in his past life.

For some reason, Jeong In-ho’s expression hardened slightly due to embarrassment and emptiness, and Jung In-ho’s expression also sank, as if he was thinking something when he saw that. The smile was still there, but those pitch black eyes were the same.

“What are you thinking with that look on your face?”

“No, please keep talking.”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon wiped his face and continued.

“We met when we were quite young. Thanks to that person, I didn’t die and am still alive today. “I lived with quite a lot of help until that man died.”

“okay.”

“…Why is your expression….”

“I’m listening carefully.”

“….”

Lee Jae-heon wiped his face once again and continued with a strange sense of resentment.

“…He wasn’t a bad person.”

“I guess so.”

Fuck.

‘Look at how the seed isn’t even working.’

Yeah, that’s why I felt even more uncomfortable. This is why I didn’t want to create a character with a Past Life Day motif.

In the other world, I was so crazy that I couldn’t understand the meaning of the obvious reactions, but now I knew everything. Didn’t he even have a serious conversation with Employee Kwon? Now, the survivors were treating all of ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ former classmates like bastards.

‘They probably thought it was all because of them that my common sense was distorted.’

But voila, I was just reminiscing about my past life!

“….”

“…not real….”

“Yes.”

“….”

I’m sorry, guys. I’m sorry baby.

No, but it’s all set up by those bastards, so please just look at it. It’s all these chicks who turned you into assholes and turned you into a single woman. I did my best. I defended Mojiri like you, and of course I have nothing to say to you… but honey, you dragged me in. Anyway, I’m not at fault…

Jeong In-ho, who was quietly observing Lee Jae-heon in agony, slightly rolled his eyes and asked.

“Can you tell me how you were helped?”

“…hmm.”

Lee Jae-heon chose his words carefully, feeling threatened that if he answered incorrectly here, he would end up being the one who cursed at me in his past life. What should I say to say this?

“…You saved me first, right?”

“Isn’t it natural for the police to save the child?”

“No, but it was that kind of environment… What is normal here is not normal there… Anyway, you didn’t do anything bad by saving my life, right?”

“I never said it was bad.”

“Look at your eyes, you don’t have a face that wouldn’t say something like that.”

Why do people listen so crookedly when they say they saved someone’s life?

“And… passing on survival knowledge?”

“To a child? “You can’t do everything yourself?”

“…I’ve been thinking about it since last time, but I think Mr. In-ho Jeong has very high standards for what a ‘police officer’ should be. “I will never hear you say you are a good police officer.”

“I think it’s a normal standard.”

“Let’s lower the standards a little bit before the police around the world start crying.”

Jeong In-ho said with a sly smile.

“Protecting a child for no reason should be the duty of a human being, even before the police.”

“….”

I can’t believe how well you did in the novel.

‘If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have even thought of protecting Jang Seo-ah, you chick.’

Of course, there is nothing to criticize since he died the moment he came to his senses, but to Lee Jae-heon, who read the novel, the protagonist’s statement seemed quite contradictory.

“…But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to teach people the knowledge they need to survive.”

“Then let me ask you one more question. “Did your child ever pick up a weapon during that process?”

Oh, there is no excuse for this.

‘Otherwise it’s a configuration error.’

Since I don’t know what events I will experience in the future, Lee Jae-heon’s childhood in my past life and my childhood in my current life overlapped quite a bit. Young Lee Jae-heon in his previous life naturally knew how to use weapons, so if he said no here, he could have been caught lying someday.

He answered, making an embarrassed face.

“…I did…catch it.”

“okay.”

“But it’s natural to learn how to protect yourself in such an environment.”

“For that matter, you’ve never given something like that to another kindergarten student or high school sibling, right, Manager?”

“….”

There wasn’t much that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ could say here.

“That’s right… it’s more efficient… and since I’m there, there’s no need for them to learn that…”

“Haha, I understand.”

“You don’t look like you understand at all, Jeong In-ho.”

At that, Jeong In-ho’s smile grew even deeper. Now the folded eyes had become very narrow.

“To be honest, the manager has some distorted common sense. In our opinion, if such common sense is not instilled from a young age, it makes no sense.”

“…I admit that I said a few nonsense while I was in the other world. But those were all just words that came out because I was out of my mind. Attaching too much meaning to it….”

“Wouldn’t it have been even more true since I was out of my mind?”

“….”

“Furthermore, it seems a little strange to me that the manager is trying so desperately to protect that person. Unless he was really influenced by me, the manager wouldn’t have defended others this much. “He probably just said ‘I see’ in response to my comment.”

I had nothing to say.

‘…I knew it would end up like this…’

Still, I felt so fucking wronged that I tried to defend myself.

Additionally, even if this misunderstanding deepens, there is no problem with probability. That’s why Jaeheon Lee grumbled and talked a little about his past life. Let them make their own mistakes.

But it was really unfair… It’s true that I was a bitch in my past life, but I never brainwashed newborn chicks. This means that even in the world of previous lives, crimes involving children were despised.

“…like that….”

Okay, whatever happens happens.

‘What the fuck do you know? ‘They’re both me.’

It was a perfect draw, with no need to distinguish between the victim and the perpetrator, since my past life was the one who bullied me in my current life anyway. Since I couldn’t throw away the settings that were already in place, I had no choice but to refine them to my discretion.

“….”

From now on, I am a dog. Moon-wol-rumbling.

“…such a bad person….”

‘Lee Jae-heon’ trailed off with a faint frown on his face.

“…No, it’s done. After all, I wasn’t trying to talk about the sins that person committed. “Let’s get back to the point.”

“Are you avoiding me?”

“I’m not avoiding it. It’s just that Mr. Inho Jeong’s perspective is bound to be different from mine. You’ve never seen that person in person. “I was the one who experienced that person first-hand, and In-ho Jeong only heard the story… so I think there is a difference in opinion.”

“I don’t think that’s the problem.”

“That man was a good cop. “You saved the lives of so many people that I can’t compare to you… and just…”

His fingertips trembled slightly. He avoids gaze and his voice wavers faintly. Jeong In-ho slowly blinked at the sight of ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who seemed to anyone to be a good victim whose weak point had been stabbed.

“…I’m sorry. Yes, I see.”

“….”

“That could be true. I think I pushed too narrow an opinion. “I think I became sensitive because I was worried about the manager.”

“…That’s it.”

‘Lee Jae-heon’ sighed and cleared his mind before continuing.

“Anyway, he said he had chosen me as his successor. “When I was young, I thought he was just referring to that person’s disciples or juniors, but after he died, I realized that too.”

“What?”

“It was true that this world has a god and a protagonist determined by it.”

He stared into space for about three seconds, licked his lips as if hesitating, and then continued.

“…the ‘main character’ chosen by God cannot die.”
