Episode 310
First of all, Lee Jae-heon decided to be thankful that Kang Min-ah was not the final survivor.
‘Because it must have been Kang Min-ah who killed Seong Ji-ho.’
Even Lee Jae-heon doesn’t know what exactly happened. It was not easy to take control of the body that had turned into a monster, and even moving to where you wanted was overwhelming. Since I couldn’t see any living survivors around me, I was able to move with a squeak, and what I came across in the lobby on the first floor was Seong Ji-ho’s body.
The whole body was struck several times with a small hammer. Since he didn’t know the vital location and the target didn’t die at once, he struck here and there out of impatience, so he was clearly an amateur…
‘There can be no one but Kang Min-ah.’
I don’t know what happened, but it was clear that Kang Min-ah went crazy and tried to kill the survivors. I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to recover if she had memories from before she returned.
“….”
The problem was that Park Da-hoon, who appeared to be the final survivor, looked very bad. It makes me wonder what would have happened if Kang Min-ah had been the final survivor.
“sister.”
“Hey, why are you really like that?”
“Sister….”
“Park Da-hoon.”
From the looks of it, Park Da-young died in a pretty miserable way in the last episode.
As soon as he got away from Lee Jae-heon, Park Da-hoon was hugged by his older sister. When I saw her use the title ‘sister’, which she didn’t usually say, she looked like she was completely out of her mind. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Park Da-hoon to ignore the gazes of others and cling to his older sister, who would be one year older, like a cicada.
‘I usually pay attention to the point where I feel like it’s excessive, but if I was in a state where I couldn’t pay attention to that much, I’d say everything. I’m not the type of person to show myself like that in front of my high school friends…’
Lee Jae-heon let out a shaky breath.
“…Haa….”
Moreover, the protagonist went one step further.
“Mr. In-ho….”
“….”
“Mr. In-ho, are you okay?”
“no.”
“….”
“It’s not okay.”
“…Ah….”
Kang Min-ah, who, along with Park Da-young, had vaguely figured out what the situation was, was fidgeting in front of Jeong In-ho, who was mesmerized. Seeing that even the bare minimum of image management was thrown away, I could guess that the main character’s mentality was not normal either.
‘I’ve said enough to ask you to kill me directly.’
This means that even trying to survive as long as possible and gather as much information as possible before the next regression was burdensome. As Jung In-ho said in the previous episode, that bastard needed a break.
And…
“Teacher.”
“I get really scared every time you call me that.”
“Isn’t there someone else who would be scared?”
Ha Seong-yoon, who was staring blankly into space as if he had gathered his thoughts, approached with a smile. Lee Jae-heon slowly blinked his eyes as he looked at his usual face.
“…Why did you call me?”
“I called you because I thought we needed to talk.”
“Do you want to change seats?”
“Then it’s better.”
Unlike Hong Gyeong-jun, who grasped the situation at least superficially and talked with Kim Yeon-woo, Jae-heon Lee nodded when he saw Kim Ki-jeong still confused. I hadn’t fully figured out the regression system yet, so I couldn’t announce it to the world. No matter how the other survivors viewed them, they had to get away first.
‘So we can come up with something.’
I felt like I wouldn’t be able to come to my senses if I continued to see the mess here. Apprenticeship is something you have to know properly to be able to do it. In order to find out the full story, Lee Jae-heon followed Ha Seong-yoon to a place a little away from the shelter.
After finding a suitable spot to avoid the gazes full of doubt, worry, and embarrassment, Ha Seong-yoon spoke.
“It’s a mess.”
“I can tell just by looking at it.”
Seeing how harsh words are being said, it seems that Ha Seong-yoon’s mental state is not very healthy. Lee Jae-heon, who was shaking his head in frustration, wiped the corners of his mouth and spoke.
“So… what kind of situation is this? “I’m asking because I absolutely don’t understand.”
According to the setting, Lee Jae-heon cannot remember what happened before his regression.
‘My condition may not look very good, but I can say that my heart was pounding because I realized that the search for Eonhak High School in the previous episode had failed.’
After organizing his thoughts, Lee Jae-heon continued.
“It looks like this regression point was just before entering school. As Professor Ha Seong-yoon said, judging by the messed up investigation team, it seems like the exploration was a complete failure… Is that right?”
“It was a situation that cannot be expressed with the cute word ‘failure.’”
I guess so.
“I will sort it out as soon as possible. “Mina Kang was brought in to discover new rules or rules we didn’t know about and understand their risks, and as a result, one of her hands was blown off.”
“Oh my.”
“It seemed like he was having a hard time coming to his senses, so I made him rest on the first floor, and the rest somehow managed to climb up step by step. From there, the real problem began…”
Lee Jae-heon nodded after hearing the story from the last episode that Ha Seong-yoon remembered.
“It was hell.”
“I could put it that way too. “It was hell, really.”
“I’m glad that Kang Min-ah is not the final survivor.”
“That is correct.”
“But…”
Jaeheon Lee said, crossing his arms.
“Dahun didn’t look very normal either.”
“…I don’t know until that point. “All Ha Seong-yoon knows from the last episode is what happened up to the second floor, and only the person involved will know what happened downstairs or outside.”
“You’ll have to hear it from Dahun’s mouth, but…”
“Didn’t it seem difficult right now?”
“Yes. “Right now, I don’t know what I’ll be able to hear within a year.”
Ha Seong-yoon nodded at Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“Jung In-ho is also a problem. I don’t know if I can express it this way, but it seemed like I was experiencing burnout. “The schedule so far has been burdensome, and the previous episode seems to have been a decisive shock… Is this how I can go back to language school?”
“Still, I’m glad that you have the will to explore Eonhak High School again.”
He wanted to give up Eonhak High School and look for another monster to escape from, but according to what he remembered from the novel, the closest thing was the fish tank.
‘But the problem is that changing the route to Sujogwan does not seem to improve the situation compared to Eonhak High School.’
Of course, he remembered the rules and atmosphere of the aquarium to some extent, but that made him even more reluctant. This was because the aquarium had its own difficulties.
‘Besides, it’s too late to give up studying at a language school now…’
Lee Jae-heon listened to Ha Seong-yoon’s next words.
“I found quite a few clues. “I can’t run away, even if it’s unfair, because I’ve been rolling around like dust for so long and haven’t achieved any results.”
To agree.
Ha Seong-yoon’s glass-colored eyes, which were wandering in the air, landed on Lee Jae-heon, who was nodding inwardly.
“Besides, no matter how I think about it, it seems true that there is an escape monster at Eonhak High School.”
“…Are you talking about that art teacher?”
“I don’t know exactly what form it will take, but I think it would have had a big impact. “I think we need to return to reality as soon as possible to get that pervert out of Unhak High School.”
“transformation?”
“ah.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who remembered that Jae-heon Lee did not yet know much about art teachers, gave him a simple explanation.
“It was a report received from student Seong Ji-ho, and strangely, he said that he had a lot of power in the school and that he was a pervert who kissed a plaster statue. “Aside from discriminating against and treating students poorly, he seemed to be a person with many problems.”
“….”
“You look like I’m hallucinating, but if that’s the case, I guess I heard correctly.”
Jaeheon Lee let out a tired sigh.
“If that’s true, then it seems like perverts aren’t just ordinary perverts… If we’re too picky, we might end up with victims that you only see on the news.”
“If you think about the photo of the girl’s body found in the grade room where you went to get the key, she may have already committed murder. I kept thinking about it, but I felt too uncomfortable. A pervert who is excessively obsessed with plaster statues seems to have a strong family reputation. However, working as a teacher at a school is not something that can be overlooked.”
“It was already a school with some strange corners, but I had no idea that it was a school that harbored such a full-blown perversion. “Let’s take action as soon as we get back to reality.”
“To do that, we have to get out of the underworld quickly.”
“Hmm….”
Lee Jae-heon asked after examining Ha Seong-yoon.
“I guess you’re in better shape than I thought?”
“This may make me angry, but I will listen to it first. “Why did you say that?”
“Is there any reason? I just asked because you recovered faster than other returnees and seemed to have the will to re-enter the hellish language school. “I didn’t have any intention.”
“Then are you going to leave that pervert alone?”
“You’re not wrong.”
“….”
Ha Seong-yoon said after kissing his lips a few times.
“…Perhaps… I recovered quickly because I stopped at visual information.”
“…aha.”
“Jung In-ho said that he himself is the one who returns time, and the last survivor accepts the memories of that time as if they were someone else’s. If we look at the type of burden this system imposes, the worst would be Jeong In-ho, followed by the final survivor. And the last one will be me.”
“Just looking?”
“Unlike Jeong In-ho and the final survivors, I have no awareness that it is me. You literally just look at it. It feels like I’m watching a simulation video about us. “The content may be nauseating, but it is not directly damaging.”
“I think about it all the time.”
Lee Jae-heon pointed his finger at Ha Seong-yoon’s glass eyes.
“I really wonder what those eyes are.”
“It’s not that different for me.”
“Didn’t you know from the beginning?”
“I… just knew that I needed it, but I didn’t know the details.”
“Who told you that?”
“From a friend of mine who has been here before.”
“Who is that friend?”
“If you ask me what kind of person my friend was that gave me this information, I can’t even ask him now. “I’m always asleep for more than half of the day, and even when I wake up, it’s hard to say I’m in a good state of mind, so it’s hard to respond properly.”
“Then how did you get that information?”
“I would appreciate it if you could recognize that this is the result of hard work. “I don’t think Lee Jae-heon knows how much effort I put into finding out the whereabouts of my family from that friend.”
“….”
“…Ah….”
Perhaps because he realized that he had been excited for a moment, Ha Seong-yoon rubbed his face with both hands and muttered in a quiet voice.
“…I say yes. you’re right.”
He sighed.
“I came to the underworld to find my family.”
I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
‘After all, this person is not sane either.’
Ha Seong-yoon was a disgusting chick who was able to urge and criticize the main character, Jeong In-ho, and had a knack for making fun of the situation. I remember that until the beginning, I maintained a rough relationship with my companions and went into the case while observing the situation. Ha Seong-yoon was a person who did not often talk about himself.
‘But if you’re going to blurt out such an important story… then Ha Seong-yoon is definitely out of his mind. Well, I’ve had a lot of work to do to maintain my sanity.’
Jaeheon Lee, who had finished assessing the situation in his mind, tilted his head and asked.
“…Even going crazy on purpose?”
“It was that precious. I was created because of them, and I respected and admired them that much. “I want to become that kind of doctor…”
“Would you get angry if I ask you more?”
“no. But if you ask, you will only get a trivial answer.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s brow furrowed.
“I wanted to know why and how they died.”
Was someone’s death important enough to voluntarily go crazy?
“….”
“You look like you have difficulty understanding, Mr. Lee Jae-heon.”
“To be honest, yes. I was thinking that it would be much more beneficial to preserve my sanity when I could avoid going crazy. “I can’t say for sure because everyone has different values and ways of thinking, but that’s the way I am.”
“They weren’t the ones to die like that.”
Ha Seong-yoon looked a little angry.
“They were kind and kind people, and even though they weren’t perfect, they were people everyone could respect. He never committed a sin that warranted death in a world like this, and he was kind to everyone. Not only did he donate goods and money, but he also volunteered hard for both individuals and groups. He was a great doctor…” “….”
“
… There are many more people than that… who donated money through the hands of my parents. came back to life.”
“You respect me.”
“I respect you. “I admired and praised him.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s face, where any sign of anger disappeared, was filled with only calm sadness. Nevertheless, there was a red tint in one pupil, and soon even the glass eye was turning red.
“Why did those people have to die here?”
What on earth does that mean?
“…The other world is a kind of natural disaster. Are you going to blame nature?”
“No, I decided to blame God.”
“I thought you were a religious believer, but I was mistaken.”
“I can complain because I believe in the existence of God.”
Ha Seong-yoon muttered, adjusting his drooping glasses.
“I thought it was too contrived.”
“…Are you saying that God intentionally killed Ha Seong-yoon’s parents?”
“It doesn’t matter if you criticize me for thinking too much. I felt that way and was sad. I was angry. Why did my parents enter a world where one had to be crazy or be around a crazy person? Why did you have to die in such a barren and dry place?”
“Would you like an apple?”
“An apology is needed from someone other than the teacher.”
Ha Seong-yoon’s face hardened again.
“There’s no way my parents were crazy, so someone must have dragged them away, but I couldn’t guess who. Among the people I was close enough to contact, I never saw anyone go crazy. If a crazy person approached and made contact intentionally, no, even if the contact was accidental…”
“Even if that’s the case?”
“I would like to receive an apology from that person.”
He bit his lip and continued speaking.
“…I couldn’t even afford a funeral for my respected parents.”
“…The mannequin is still alive.”
“They keep tormenting me with memories and longings. When you are overcome by deep longing and even heavier resentment, it only takes a moment to go crazy. I dreamed of becoming a doctor, looking at my parents… but when I finally got to my feet, I realized that the doctors I respected the most in the world were dead. “By others.”
“Are you angry?”
“I’m angry. Even if a human did it, that’s not true. Even if a god did it…”
A voice full of resentment rang through the forest.
“How can that be?”
“….”
“…How can you be so cruel…?”
Jaeheon Lee suddenly became curious.
If there is a god in the other world, how will Ha Seong-yoon react?
