Episode 444
Lee Jae-heon’s confusion was resolved sooner than expected.
“It wasn’t resolved, it was postponed, right?”
“You know me too well.”
To be exact, it wasn’t resolved, it was just postponed.
Of course, Lee Jae-heon was on Mana’s side, but he didn’t think that Ha Seong-yoon, a mere printmaker, could do anything to her. Therefore, Jaeheon Lee did not necessarily come to a conclusion already. The fight between the whale and the shrimp made my back explode, but that’s something to think about later.
“Anyway, is there any more information you can give?”
“What do you think?”
“I think there’s information left that wasn’t told.”
“As expected, a viper who squeezes out every last drop.”
“Don’t call me that because it’s embarrassing. Do you know how embarrassing it is to be called a poisonous snake or something after you’re over 40? “Isn’t it funny that your grown-up wife calls you such a childish nickname?”
“Oh, I liked it because it was tangy.”
“Are you crazy?”
Jaeheon Lee asked, clenching his tongue.
“So what is the role of the possessed person that the manager is dragging here?”
“What can I do, I guess I’ll kill the captain. “I told you this before, right?”
“I know that the ultimate goal is to eliminate our writer. Nevertheless, what I want to ask is whether I can really die through that and whether there will be any disadvantages to me due to the attempts of such possessors.”
The possessed person stared at Lee Jae-heon and tilted his head.
“…I wonder?”
“I’m curious.”
“Then you should give me at least one kiss.”
“Is this crazy?”
“That’s right, it’s crazy! “I’m crazy about the captain…!”
“Wow…”
I frowned as if I was disgusted, and the possessed person who saw that laughed and laughed. He had a very satisfied expression.
“Oh, it tastes like this. Did you know that you also have a taste for teasing yourself? “It’s more fun now that you’ve changed into this body, right?”
“I’m not eating that. “Please support me.”
“Mmm nyang nyang nyang.”
“What do you gain by humiliating me this much?”
“My happiness. The driving force of life. “Increased combat power.”
“It’s more efficient than reporting news.”
“Of course, whose subordinate is he?”
Jaeheon Lee blinked his eyes slowly.
“Are you still my subordinate?”
“…yes.”
“Then you will have an obligation to answer my questions.”
The possessed person spoke seriously.
“Don’t lower your voice like that. It’s perfect to excite perverts.”
“This is real.”
“This is advice that will become your lifeblood, so listen carefully. “The captain is already a type of sexual abnormality, so you have to be careful to maintain your chastity.”
“When was my virginity taken away?”
“It won’t be that body.”
“….”
As Lee Jae-heon crossed his arms and blocked the front of his chest, the possessed person became even more serious.
“Oh, don’t get defensive. “Tell me how many times you’re excited.”
“Can we just have a police officer with us for a moment and then proceed with the conversation?”
“You can’t miss this precious opportunity to talk alone. “There’s no way around it.”
“You pervert….”
“Oh, don’t curse in a low voice. “I have a fetish for that.”
“I am raising a child now. “You can do perverted things while ignoring people.”
“Tsk, tsk, anyway, we have a lot of affection…”
The possessed person, who was making a fuss, soon burst into laughter.
“Isn’t it true that the one who loves more loses?”
“Don’t you think you’ve won a lot at this level?”
“I’ll let you know. “You’ve shown such a cute side, but if you eat it raw, you’ll get sick.”
“We speak the same language, right?”
“The manager made threats like this to the possessors.”
The possessed person, who completely ignored Lee Jae-heon, tucked his short hair behind his ear and continued speaking.
“If you kill the captain, I will send you back to the original world.”
“….”
“But, sir. Our bodies, possessed by this world, are too weak. Since even my name has been taken away, the mental burden is high. “I am in a vulnerable situation to survive in a dungeon like a secret world, so how could I kill the captain?”
“There was a guy who made a successful attempt. “We met near Eonhak High School.”
“You really have great tenacity. The secret world was my wife’s domain, so all kinds of monsters would have attacked her, but I managed to survive and reach my boss. “If that level of obsession is something, isn’t it love?”
“You still talk about love in strange places.”
“The captain asked, right? “You said you could die.”
The possessed person laughed cheerfully.
“I can’t die.”
“aha.”
“It’s not impossible, but it must be very difficult, right? Regardless of whether it’s in reality or in the underworld, right now, ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ wife has authority over his body. Even if you die in real life, your wife will probably bring you back to life. In that case, you need to think about what excuse you will make to your new contacts in advance.”
“I don’t want the settings to increase further here…”
“The manager brought us in to kill that boss. “Only by causing that kind of direct harm can you go beyond your wife’s authority and interfere with the captain, and only by interfering in that way can you erase the captain’s existence.”
What this means is that although the old police chief ‘Lee Jae-heon’ will never die, his personality as a poisonous snake and a ghost police officer can be erased. What if you continue to be attacked by the possessors who are the administrator’s limbs?
“hmm.”
Delete it.
“What happens if it gets erased?”
“Only ‘Lee Jae-heon’ will remain?”
“Oh so?”
“So, to you, Captain, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is something of a kind. “It’s like a mannequin.”
When the original characters of this world die in the other world, mannequins remain to minimize confusion in reality. However, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ is something that the writer hastily created after the failure of the prototype…
“So, you don’t even have my mannequin?”
“I don’t know the details, but I think there might be some connection.”
“A ghost police officer has been filling the mannequin’s place, so I thought he might be the mannequin’s replacement. In fact, it never happened in the first place. Our ghost came into the empty space and lived there….”
Strictly speaking, it was difficult to say that ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was a being of this world.
“But in the novel, Old Man Manager Lee Jae-heon appeared.”
“It’s probably been less than an hour since I told you not to believe that novel, Captain.”
Although he spoke harshly, the possessed person developed a hypothesis.
“Perhaps the original Kkondae manager was remodeled to create a place for the captain to stay, or the information about the Kkondae manager that you remembered was wrong. “It’s probably one of the two.”
“I guess the difference is whether the content was modified later or my memory is wrong.”
“I guess so, right? I don’t even know about that. “I couldn’t even have a long conversation with my wife because of the manager’s interference.”
“Maybe I just kicked you out because I didn’t want to see your face…”
“Oh, it was nice to see you after such a long time.”
“Your nerves have become stronger.”
Lee Jae-heon, who looked into the air for a moment, asked.
“What would happen if only ‘Lee Jae-heon’ remained?”
“…Wouldn’t it be like a mannequin? “I don’t know if he has any memories of being the captain or not, but the traces of those days will never be visible.”
“It’s nice that it’s neat.”
“….”
the possessed person said.
“That means dying.”
“I know.”
“The captain disappears without leaving a single memory, trace, or person behind.”
“I guess so.”
“But you’re saying it’s good because it’s neat?”
“If I die like that, will the people here remember me?”
“I’m staying.”
“….”
Jaeheon Lee shrugged his shoulders.
“That’s a bit disappointing.”
“I will remember all the stories we shared with you and the things you protected us from. However, the captain disappeared without a trace, and only some strange old man was sitting there. “How embarrassing and absurd can this be?”
“I have to be careful.”
“Yes?”
The possessed person lowered his eyes and laughed.
“But don’t worry, just because you die doesn’t mean all traces end. “It may vary depending on the person, but only some of the most recent memories will disappear.”
“….”
“If he gradually loses his memory and in the end only ‘Lee Jae-heon’ remains, it will be the manager’s victory. When that time comes, your wife won’t be able to do anything. Maybe you could give up and leave this world. Like the gods of our world. “There’s no reason to watch anymore…”
“I’m not that irresponsible.”
“That too is a thing of the past. Madam, you are no longer a typewriter like us. Look at how they are giving up all their children and trying to save only the leader. “It will be harder to find your old self.”
“still.”
“Do you still love me?”
Jaeheon Lee did not answer, and the possessed person heard the answer.
“Well, I thought you would. When people like you start a love that is so clear and clean, it really goes on forever. “I think it’s great.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“I guess I should go soon.”
“okay.”
“Captain.”
The possessed person got up from the chair and called him.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“What.”
“Please hug me tight.”
“no.”
“Please kiss me deeply.”
“no.”
“Please kill me.”
“….”
Lee Jae-heon got up from his seat, gently hugged the possessed person, and kissed the shell of the person’s ear. The possessed person’s eyes widened in surprise.
Lee Jae-heon, who confirmed this, stroked the possessed person as if praising him with the hand that was supporting his head, and then slowly walked away.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“…yes.”
“I received so much love and I will do my best to remember it.”
“yes.”
“Next time, let’s see each other in a world where we can be happy.”
She smiled brightly, her cheeks turning red.
“i love you.”
“thanked.”
“Thank you.”
The possessed person left Jaeheon Lee’s house.
“….”
I got out of the elevator, passed the officetel door, and walked among the buildings rising high into the sky. So much time had passed while we were talking that it was already night.
The possessed person looked up at the pitch-black ceiling and muttered.
“…oh my god.”
She touched my ear.
“Days like this always come.”
The happy face smiled as if in ecstasy.
She still remembered my captain from the original world. He always had a smile on his face and the iron wall was amazing. When he narrows his narrow eyes and smiles, a gaze filled with a strange sense of playfulness comes to mind. I wasn’t in love with that face. One day, when I returned from a mission given to him, I fell in love with him.
How can people be so cruel? She was assigned to a traumatic mission, and the mission was a success. Rather, I remember that it was a mission for which she was suited because she was afraid of the mission. I thought they didn’t care about the trauma of even one subordinate for the sake of the results, but that wasn’t the case.
‘Did you have a good trip?’
‘yes.’
‘okay.’
There wasn’t a single word like ‘Thank goodness’ or ‘Good job’.
‘….’
Rather, it would be crazy if I felt that the other person was worried about me in that regard.
I don’t know if he really cared about me or not. But I did know that they cared. Whenever an employee other than her came back from a similar situation, he always praised them with one word, ‘I see.’ As if anything more would sound like teasing. This is a person who is usually good at speaking out loud.
I thought that was lovely. It was great to see him being obedient and not even making excuses, just smiling and accepting the blame if it was a crime he knew he had committed. When he fell in love, he became overly fluffy and soft. The more I looked at it, the more attractive it became and I began to love it.
“I didn’t expect this though.”
He was a man with a clear distinction between construction and construction, and had a strong iron wall. But it was only today that he finally showed me his affection, perhaps because his weak body aroused sympathy. Even if it was not his intention to love me, I was just excited and intoxicated with happiness.
She smiled as if she knew nothing and rubbed her flushed cheeks.
“Haa….”
Before I knew it, there was no one around.
Rebar from a construction site fell overhead.
“I feel good.”
―Kwasik.
