Chapter 281:
In the world of my previous life, there were many orphans.
There were families with deep affection between parents and children, but those were the few who could afford it, and most provided only the bare minimum of care, hoping that their children would not turn a knife on them in the future. In cases where there was no time to even worry about the future, it was common to abandon one’s children. Lee Jae-heon was also one of those who was kicked out of the house.
“…It hurts.”
There was a school where such orphans, as well as children who had run away from domestic violence or were determined to get ahead, gathered together.
“I’m tired.”
“…sorry.”
“It’s okay. Since when did we start talking about things like that?”
“sorry.”
“Even if it’s okay.”
Yes, I remembered.
“…you… were one of my juniors.”
The guy in front of me was probably one of the members of that school.
“But why can’t I still remember the name? It’s so strange…”
“…Do you remember me?”
“I remembered. “He was the kind of horse who would argue with my wife about everything.”
“That woman…”
“I told you to be careful with your mouth. “Have you still not gotten over your habit?”
Jaeheon Lee slowly blinked his eyes. A strange feeling of fatigue, like that felt right before death, enveloped his body. The reason he didn’t die right away even though his solar plexus was severely pierced was only thanks to Lee Jae-heon’s mental strength that allowed him to endure.
“Yeah, what did that manager do if you killed me?”
“…They said it would help us return to reality.”
“It’s the same for you and me, and it’s the same with other people getting into fights.”
“She was the one who put me in here in the first place…”
“You should have behaved better. “If they hadn’t brought in a manager, he wouldn’t have come here.”
“Really, why do you always treat me so badly? It’s sad.”
“Isn’t it me who is sad?”
I was sobbing and blood was flowing out of my mouth.
“…I look like I’m going to die soon.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s voice was heard from afar.
“I’m curious. “What penalty would there be if I died like this?”
“…penalty?”
“It looks like you still haven’t come to your senses, so why did that manager tell you to kill me? If I were to come back to life after dying like this, I’m sure there would be some kind of problem…” “
…Captain.”
The possessed person said, holding the blood-stained piece of metal tightly.
“Can’t you go back with me…?”
“Another nonsense.”
“There are a lot of people looking for you, sir.”
“Why are there so many bastards who want to kill people who want to die?”
“God has abandoned us, sir.”
“I knew it would happen. Even the damned high-ranking people will have a hard time.”
“I’m so scared….”
“Please go back.”
Jaeheon Lee blinked his eyes slowly.
“Anyway… wouldn’t my body have been burned? “At least it would have been rotten.”
“I’ll give you another one.”
“Just please.”
I sighed.
“Leave me alone… you damn chicks.”
I thought I could die, but I couldn’t, and I was trying to enjoy a bit of wealth and fame, but I ended up in a novel about survival, impoverished under the age of 19. The emptiness alone is driving me crazy, but now I want to go back to the world of my previous life?
Is there a curse worse than that?
“Even if I go, how much will it ruin me? “Isn’t that right?”
“Now… I won’t do that. Anyway, I’m rolling along with you, Captain….”
“Then did you think that the thing below won’t roll while the Captain is rolling? “It’s ridiculous.”
“Captain.”
“No, I can’t, I won’t do it.”
There were two options left for Lee Jae-heon. Either you roll here and die from wear and tear, or you see a happy ending here and gain wealth and fame. There was no option to go back to my previous life.
“So just…”
At that moment, an old voice was heard.
“Jaeheon Lee!”
“….”
“…Mr. Lee Jae-heon?”
This is Ha Seong-yoon. I couldn’t see him because he was lying down, but I felt like I could tell his expression just by his voice.
“…What the fuck is that guy doing?”
“Hey friend….”
“What are you doing, you idiot?”
Despite the conversation between the possessed person and Lee Jae-heon, Ha Seong-yoon’s voice was not heard. They probably saw an iron club gleaming with blood in the possessor’s hand and Lee Jae-heon, who was on the verge of death with his solar plexus severely pierced.
Soon Ha Seong-yoon’s voice was heard.
“under?”
It was a crazy sound.
Wow I’m scared.
* * *
“Woo Joo-young, come behind me!”
Kwasik!
Woo Woo-young hid behind Yoon Gar-ram, who shouted while hitting the baseball bat.
“Thank you…!”
“It’s okay, so please open the door. Come on!”
“Yes, yes! Wait!”
They were trapped inside a building in a shopping mall.
Among the eight members of the search team, Vivian Hong Gyeong-jun and Kim Ki-jeong went to a nearby apartment complex. Kim Yeon-woo and Jeong In-ho go to a shopping mall. Kang Min-ah, Woo Woo-young, and Yoon Gar-ram decided to look around other places. While leaving the shopping mall and searching an unfamiliar place where there were a lot of cat monsters, Yoon Garam and Woo Wooyoung fell into a trap.
“Ahh…! “This door won’t even open, boss!”
“Then let’s quickly move to the other side. Come over here!”
When I came to my senses, I found that I had moved inside an unfamiliar building.
If I had to look for a place that looked similar, it would be a toy specialty store. The toys piled high in the colorful display cases had their wrappings peeled off, while others did not. The problem was that this place was like a maze where the same space was repeated over and over again and the toys engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
“Min Min-ah, you’ll be okay, right?!”
“It’ll be okay. Kang Min-ah is much more skilled than me…!”
“is that so…?”
“for now! “I think we should go out first!”
Puk puk! Kwasik!
Garam Yoon used a baseball bat to hit various objects coming from all directions.
“Be careful not to step on anything!”
After coming to my senses, I saw the inside of the building, which looked like a large toy store, but it was messy and the structure of the space was as inefficient as a maze, so it was difficult to find the exit door. It was difficult to find a proper exit among the numerous doors in the windowless room.
In addition, the screams of the toys pouring in clouded their judgment.
“really really…!”
Ahhh!
“It would be much more refreshing if that sound wasn’t there!”
Woo Woo-young whined and swung the iron baton. It was a simple weapon made by breaking a toy holder, and the one he had previously carried had long since disappeared buried among the toys. She was jumping around on a high stand and screaming as the toy knocked it over.
“Waaaaaaaaah! Argh!”
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Haha! Oh go away! Argh!”
The decibel level was so loud that it was impossible to tell who was louder.
‘But you still persevere well.’
Woo Woo-young’s face had been stained with tears and snot for a long time, but for a person who kept screaming to the point of telling the crows to go away, he was holding on better than Noh Yeon-seok before. It was a quick and quick gesture that made Yoon Garam, who was in a state of panic because he couldn’t find an exit, calm down.
“Let’s go into that room first! Woo Woo-young, please open it!”
“Yes, opening soon…!”
It had already been several hours since Yoon Garam was blocking the oncoming tsunami of toys while Woo Sooyoung hid behind her and opened the door. Luckily, the door wasn’t locked this time, and Woo Joo-young let out a bright voice.
“It’s open! “It’s open, boss!”
“Go in first, and close the door as soon as you go in…!”
“I’m in!”
“Ugh…!”
Yoon Garam pushed away the large teddy bear that was sticking his face out of the way and quickly entered the door, where Woo Wooyoung immediately closed the door.
“Ugh…!”
bang! Waaddeuk paang!
There were so many different noises that I couldn’t tell what was going on outside the door.
“That’s definitely the sound of a water balloon popping… Isn’t this a world without conscience? How can I do this…? Woooooo….”
“Woo Joo-young, you did a good job though. It seems like there are no toys here. “Thanks to you, I came in safely, so let’s take a little rest and find our way.”
“Sigh… thank you. “I really, really, would have died if it weren’t for Boss Yoon….”
“I really would have been in big trouble if Woo Joo-young wasn’t there.”
In response to her joke, Woo Joo-young laid down on the sofa while secretly observing Yoon Gar-ram. Yoon Garam smiled at Woo Joo-young and looked around.
“Is this the employee lounge…?”
A water purifier and the drawer that supports it. Soft single-seater sofas. refrigerator. Although it was blocked by a concrete wall, the neat room painted white looked like an employee lounge. Garam Yoon rummaged through numerous drawers to escape.
“Oh, of course there is. “It’s a bundle of keys.”
“…This is a really strange world. It really seems like they were made to die, but there is definitely a way for them to survive…”
“That’s right. “For what purpose… well, through what process is this world created?”
Remembering that Ha Seong-yoon was very interested in this topic, Yoon Gar-ram took out a bundle of keys. With this, I felt like I could easily open the doors I couldn’t open just now, as well as the new locked doors I was about to see. Garam Yoon breathed a sigh of relief and handed it over to Woo Wooyoung.
“If you don’t mind… I would like to ask you to keep the door open in the future. “Will it be very difficult?”
“Oh no! no! It’s really okay! Boss Yoon blocks all the toys, which I am thankful for. Really…”
“Thank you so much.”
Garam Yoon was grateful that Woo Soo-young was a cooperative survivor. Both Yoon Ga-ram and Woo Woo-young were the type of person who trembled with fear but did their job.
‘…Surprisingly… does it fit well?’
Suddenly, Garam Yoon felt excited because he had a friend.
‘I’m an ordinary person. ‘Not like us.’
Kang Min-ah and Kwon Yeon-hee are also very nice people, but apart from that, Yoon Gar-ram couldn’t openly tell them about her constitution. Because the other person’s personality is great and being a good match for that person are two different things. Until now, Garam Yoon’s world was limited.
However, by leaving Ha Seong-yoon and meeting Lee Jae-heon, Yoon Gar-ram gained courage.
“….”
“…CEO of the company? why…?”
And Woo Joo-young had a cuteness that Yoon Gar-ram liked. There is something internal that makes her different from the objectively cute Kwon Yeon-hee.
“…I will protect you well.”
“yes? Ah, yes… thank you…?”
“So please protect me too.”
Woo Woo-young was an ordinary person.
“…? “Of course.”
“…Ahaha.”
And he was a courageous person.
“thank you.”
Laughter spread over Yoon Garam’s longing for always wanting to be an ordinary person.
“Then shall we move slowly? Kang Min-ah is probably worried.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to go out that door over there? “It looks like the door you came through earlier was completely blocked by toys…”
“I think that would be good. I think it would be important to find the key in a room where you can rest in between, like now, and since there was no room like this in the place we already passed… go to the other side and look around one by one.”
“Looking at it earlier, if I didn’t catch my eye on the toy at the top of the shelf, the same thing as before wouldn’t have happened. Shall we try crawling…? “There are so many toys that I don’t think I’ll be caught if I crawl.”
“Well…”
Yoon Garam was afraid of using fire.
It was true that she was a person who had been busy hiding her ugliness all her life, and even though she had now gained abilities related to the past, she did not have the courage to use them right away. Moreover, what if Yoon Garam himself becomes possessed by the fire or others get caught up in it and get hurt? She would never forgive herself.
But because Lee Jae-heon encouraged her.
‘You can save people with that power.’
The person who approved of Garam Yoon’s strange tastes and constitution and brought her down to everyday life trusted her, so there was no reason for Garam Yoon to hesitate after coming this far.
“…I have one way.”
“…yes? How? Please tell me. Can we escape?”
“Woo Joo-young might not like it a little. “You will be scared.”
“I’m already scared to death. What could get worse from here…!”
“Ahaha, is that so?”
Garam Yoon also decided to show courage.
“Woo Joo-young, me.”
“yes yes.”
“I like fire.”
“yes?”
“I wish the whole world would burn.”
Woo Woo-young blinked at that.
“…Wow crazy.”
“Ahahahaha! ha ha ha…!”
“Am I over there?”
Garam Yoon burst out laughing because he liked the lightness in the bewildered look in his gaze. It was a refreshing reaction not seen from Ha Seong-yoon or Lee Jae-heon.
Garam Yoon spoke confidently as he opened the door.
“Please protect me.”
“…Uh….”
As long as you stay by my side and don’t make me lonely.
“I will protect you too.”
Grumble!
Flames rose from Garam Yoon’s hand to the wooden door.
A bright yellow light flashed in her eyes.
