Episode 279:
The possessed person assured that Han Do-yoon would die.
“I read that too, sir…your wife wrote it. “That’s it.”
“so?”
“I also know that that bastard named Han Do-yoon is a firefighter. No, of course I know because I’m wearing those clothes in the first place. “What’s important is that she probably has trauma related to the fire.”
The possessed person muttered while holding the iron club tightly.
“He’s a character from the world she wrote, so of course he has that kind of past.”
“What do you want to say?”
“…He’s going to die. I couldn’t kill it myself, but I’m sure it will die. “The concept of the place I was taken to was a fire accident… I would lose my senses and die in a panic.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Because I’m weak.”
I could see the other person’s hands shaking. Looking at his tattered body, which was so tattered that it would not be surprising even if he were dead, it seems that he must have had a hard time surviving the secret world with an untrained body. Considering that, it was hard to understand why he was in such a state of death, so Lee Jae-heon tilted his head.
Meanwhile, the possessed person was fluttering.
“It’s because I’m weak.”
It looks like he’s having trouble breathing.
“If you do well, the other idiots you have gathered will also die. chick? That’s right, chick. You called me that every time. All the chicks you care about will die. The place where Han Do-yoon was kept is on the 8th floor, and if he goes up there, he will collapse…” “
What is the conclusion?”
“Please die, Captain. “If you want to save them, you have to die at least once anyway.”
“You know that when I die, I will regress. “Okay, who told you that?”
“Please die….”
“First of all, he won’t be friendly to me.”
What is certain is that there is someone who instigated this tiring situation, but it is difficult to expect that such a person will be friendly to you.
‘Even so, the problem is…’
Who is the entity that turned this bastard into a possessor?
‘Are you a writer?’
Jaeheon Lee blinked, remembering the woman in his dream. I couldn’t remember exactly what she said to me, but it was clear that she had control over much of the world of this novel. Since she was the one who brought up the topic of reincarnation, there was quite a possibility.
“I don’t want to die here. You know, Captain…”
“What?”
“A death like this is so trivial. “I don’t want to die without a name.”
However, it could not have been the author who encouraged the possessed person to ‘kill Lee Jae-heon.’ Basically, the writer was on Lee Jae-heon’s side. The author may have ordered the possession, but it must have been someone with hostility towards Lee Jae-heon who determined the possessor’s behavior.
why?
“I forgot my name too, what happened?”
“Please save me….”
Or rather, why?
‘…I don’t want to die at the hands of this bastard.’
The possessor was obsessed with Jae-heon Lee’s death and was obediently leading Jae-heon Lee to be killed by him. Considering that he even knew that he would return when he died, there would definitely be a penalty for Lee Jae-heon if he died at his hands.
I don’t know what kind of penalty it is, but it’s probably a gift bad enough to cause trouble.
“….”
Lee Jae-heon, who was wondering what to do, opened his mouth.
“…Who sent you here?”
It would be a good idea to dig up more information.
“I’m curious. I think one person came last time, but he died before we could meet him, so we couldn’t talk to him. “Why on earth did you come here?”
“I didn’t come because I wanted to. Captain, you know why I come to a place like this… I really hate that woman… There is no way I would want to come to a world created by a woman like that.”
No, but this guy.
‘It keeps getting on my nerves.’
When you look at your boss’s wife and say ‘that woman’, what kind of country’s etiquette is this? I couldn’t be angry because I had to be coaxed to get the information, but I was upset. Yes, that bastard has strangely disliked the author since long ago.
As I was hiding my dark expression well, the possessed person continued speaking.
“Fuck, fuck. “I don’t know either… I really don’t know.”
“Was our friend that incompetent?”
“…is that me?”
Jaeheon Lee twisted his lips slightly.
“How can you be so stupid?”
Even though that guy had his own reasons for attacking me, the fact that he didn’t rush to kill me as soon as I saw him means that he must have been on good terms with him, considering they had a relationship in a previous life. Are you doubting your abilities? It was clear that this would shake the spirit of the possessed person who was already in a state of panic.
As expected, the possessed person turned white and pursed his lips.
“No no no… I know. Of course I know that…”
“I’m disappointed.”
“…and the manager.”
manager.
“This time, the manager chose me, but when I came to my senses, I found myself here…” “
…Huh.”
I never thought I would hear that name here.
‘No, maybe I knew but just pretended not to know.’
In the world of past lives, there were people who were called agents of God. They had the ability to manipulate the raw fate given by God and give it to humans, and among them, one called ‘Administrator’ was able to openly manipulate humans.
There were two methods he mainly used. First, literally controlling humans as if they were game characters. Or the second…
“Has he come into your body?”
Or get possessed.
“He’s a guy who doesn’t have anything to do. “If it’s enough to fit into the body of someone like you…”
“It’s not like that. “You don’t know, Captain, but that bastard’s qualifications have been revoked and he’s been running around getting attacked here and there these days.”
“This is something unexpected again.”
There is no way God would abandon that guy.
‘…Anyway, I roughly understand what the situation is.’
The first stage manager ran away and was possessed by the cub in front of him.
In the second stage, the writer possessed the entire manager and host as extras in a 19-year-old impoverished survivor.
Through some kind of 3-step method, the manager escaped and only this bastard remained.
‘And step 4.’
The manager informed him that in order for the remaining possessed to return to the original world like the manager, he had to kill Lee Jae-heon. The possessed person, whose mind and body are in tatters, tries to kill Lee Jae-heon in order to survive. Perhaps Jaeheon Lee knew that he would come back to life, so he embraced his life so easily.
“What should I do? “You don’t want to die easily, do you?”
“Why, boss? It’s an easy task… Captain, you’ve done that a lot on a regular basis. Why why? Please die just once. Just this once….”
“You seem really out of your mind.”
If you think a little, you would guess that Lee Jae-heon would receive a huge penalty, but it seems that the shock of having his name taken away and being included in the writings of a woman he disliked was great. Seeing as how he can’t even think about that.
Jaeheon Lee laughed lowly.
“This is so much fun.”
I got a feeling. Lee Jae-heon is caught between the manager and the writer, and his back is hurting. Both of them are probably touching this world, going in and out, doing unknown things to achieve their own goals. Lee Jae-heon, who suddenly became a reincarnated person, felt aggrieved even though he did not know who did it.
‘Well, even so…’
Lee Jae-heon is probably on the writer’s side.
“…Then let’s do it like this.”
Lee Jae-heon, who had erased his smile, calculated the distance to the angry voices coming from him. Although there were no proper combatants among those remaining in the shelter, the possessed person was unable to kill an opponent with a ‘name’, so Ha Seong-yoon and Munsangun alone were enough to have a good chance of victory.
“I don’t want to die, but it’s simply a matter of pride. On the other hand, for you, whose name is unknown, your survival is at stake. “Isn’t that right?”
“…yes yes. that’s right.”
“We can’t come to an agreement right away, and you don’t know when you might die. So listen. Survivors are approaching. What did you learn to do when opinions differ like this? “What do you think is the only option left?”
“….”
An embarrassed look of joy appeared on the possessor’s face.
“…Suppress.”
“yes.”
“Start.”
At the same time as those words were said, the possessed person rushed towards me with an iron club and boom! Jaeheon Lee laughed again, blocking it with his arm.
I felt refreshed by the sense of freedom I felt after meeting someone I could communicate well with after a long time.
“Aha ha…!”
Yes, it should be like this.
“I learned it really well.”
“thank you.”
“I’m so proud of you.”
You have to be this selfish to be human.
Suddenly, he realized that this exhilaration was dulling his rationality, but his hesitation was erased by the opponent’s skill in striking him down with an iron club. Lee Jae-heon, who turned his body to avoid the attack, grabbed the opponent’s arm and cracked the joint with his other arm, narrowing his eyes.
Both were dying and both were out of their minds.
“…Then who will die first…?”
Lee Jae-heon prepared to commit suicide if the situation arises.
Even if he is not possessed, if Han Do-yoon dies, it would be better to return anyway.
* * *
Han Do-yoon liked people.
This does not mean that you only see the good things in others or that you obediently accept them. Just that noisy atmosphere when like-minded people gather together. The lightness of small but lively conversations accompanied by laughter. The candid stories that come out when you relax and enjoy a drink while enjoying the fresh air. I liked things like that.
However, fundamentally, Han Do-yoon was not a good man willing to sacrifice himself for others. I couldn’t easily say things like dying for someone or something like that.
“…I…”
Nevertheless, Han Do-yoon became a firefighter to save people.
“I want you…”
Squeak…
“…I’m sorry.”
Therefore, he was an infinitely smaller sinner in front of the person he could not save.
If there was a child in front of him, blackened and as thin as a tree branch, even if it were a hallucination, it would have made Han Do-yoon sad. Even the hand squeezing his leg didn’t hurt at all, so he looked pitiful. There was no way I could be angry at such a monster.
“I’m sorry…”
Even if it meant trapping him in the fire, how could he be angry?
“You were wrong.”
Han Do-yoon sat down on the heated floor. I don’t know what the monster was doing, but the fire grew stronger and pitch-black smoke filled the room, but I couldn’t find the strength to run away. I realized that I was so shaken up that I didn’t even make a foolish attempt to escape…
“I won’t do that…”
Ugh. eww.
“It was wrong, I won’t do that. “I won’t run away.”
Wow.
“I’ll be with you…”
I couldn’t muster up the courage to run away.
Although Han Do-yoon was not a very sacrificial person, he was a firefighter who saved lives. How can he run away when there is a burnt and withered child in front of his eyes? That was so cruel. Han Do-yoon could not have been such a cruel person.
“We can just stay together.”
He hugged the monster that was scratching him in his arms.
His skin, dry and crunchy as charcoal, and his bony limbs attacked him with great effort, but he didn’t feel any pain. It was such a weak and insignificant power. Han Do-yoon’s face gradually became distorted.
“…Why did I…”
There’s no reason to be so stupid, so you can just run away. I couldn’t come to my senses due to the guilt gnawing at my heart. He didn’t even create this monster. Even though there was no one who didn’t save me.
His vision became blurry.
“Why do I have to be like this… why.”
Kiyiyi….
“Why are you really doing this to me?”
Shallow resentment turns into tears and falls.
I wish this had never happened in the first place. It would have been nice if Han Do-yoon, who knows how to take care of himself, couldn’t overcome his conscience and did something stupid like this before the whole world was at peace and everyone was happy. Before he knew it, the fact that this situation was caused by a monster was erased from Han Do-yoon’s mind.
When you are just gasping in endless sadness, pain, and misery.
“….”
Ugh.
“…uh?”
I heard something.
“-…Seed!”
“Uh….”
“Mr. Han Do-yoon!”
A person came in through the hot door with the sound of urgent footsteps.
“Hey you damn bastard! “If I call you, answer quickly!”
“…Kim Ki-jeong.”
“Uh huh…? Huh? Are you crazy?! “That’s a monster, you idiot!”
What on earth are you hugging? A frightened voice was heard.
Her clothes, which were usually neat enough to be considered obsessive, were a mess of dust and soot, and her hair, which would have been neatly slicked back, was a mess and covered in ash. Han Do-yoon looked at my face as thin, scared, and nervous as the monster I was holding in my arms, and softly cooed.
Ah really.
“….”
I didn’t think this person would come to save me.
“What are you doing while possessed by a monster? “Get up and run away quickly!”
“…Huh….”
“…Are you crying? So why are you stuck in a place like this…!”
I’m so grateful.
“Kim Ki-jeong….”
“Oh, don’t cry, really…! “I have to get out! Argh!”
“Thank you…”
This is why I like people.
Isn’t this a world where even cowards like this come to save firefighters?
