Episode 565
“….”
The man was in trouble.
‘Where am I?’
No, it was really, really difficult.
‘I’m back now…? Did you do that? Is that right?’
The man took pains to define himself.
Name Lee Jae-heon. Age 42. A South Korean detective who was a reader who was possessed by the body of an old man with a dirty personality.
“….”
…maybe….
“…Uncle? are you okay?”
“it’s okay.”
“I don’t think so.”
“it’s okay.”
“Oh yeah….”
“….”
I reflexively responded to Song In-myeong’s question, but I didn’t understand what the situation was.
The South Korean detective, now Lee Jae-heon, thought while trying to hide his embarrassment.
‘Why am I here?’
No, you just said that, is it true that I regressed?
‘Why am I in Lee Jae-heon’s body?’
The man’s pupils were greatly dilated in embarrassment and fear.
‘Am I… sorted out now?’
After a series of questions, the man was able to come to a conclusion.
“….”
How do you do this, Gyeongjun?
‘It looks like I’ve really been possessed.’
I think he returned immediately after his death by switching places with Park Da-hoon in the last episode, but for some reason, his mind was much clearer than before. It was so clear that it made me wonder if his personality had completely changed.
Yes, the personality that now took control of Manager Kkondae’s body was not a poisonous snake in a remote world, nor was it the personality of Lee Jae-heon, who had come to his senses at the beginning of the original work.
“….”
He was a detective who was in charge of Hong Kyung-jun’s shooting and a ghost police officer who stayed by Lee Jae-heon’s side.
‘Fuck you. And…’
The man secretly swallowed dry saliva.
‘If this is discovered, you will be punished at least fifteen times more.’
I’m not going to lie, I had goosebumps on my back and cold sweat.
To be honest, there was a time when I wished something would turn out for ‘Lee Jae-heon’. Well, the man at the time was in a situation where he failed at everything and had to watch ‘Lee Jae-heon’ lead the way, and he hated seeing ‘Lee Jae-heon’ creating all kinds of false rumors without his consent.
However, that did not mean that in this situation, he would abandon ‘Lee Jae-heon’ and take over the body of the old manager.
“….”
The man, who could barely maintain his demented appearance, racked his brain.
‘…So when is now? ‘When did we go back?’
He glanced around.
‘First of all, the location is right for the concert hall.’
Judging by the way I was looking up at the water tank, it seemed like I had been dazed for a while.
And just because I was so shocked didn’t mean I was just looking at the fish tank every time, so I was able to roughly guess what time it was by combining the people remaining in the concert hall.
“….”
I don’t feel any pain in the gill area.
‘So… when the wetsuit team had just left the venue?’
The people at the concert hall are Lee Jae-heon, Song In-myeong, Jeong In-ho, and two kindergarten students playing in the corner. If I were to guess roughly, I could tell that it was when Jeong Eun-woo, Seo Jang-hwa, and Park Da-young left again to look for wetsuits.
“….”
Of course, knowing that didn’t mean the situation changed dramatically.
‘Now… the main character will also be at this concert hall, right?’
The man struggled to control his expression.
He tried his best to remember what he looked like before returning. This means that you should relax your eyes and just look at the mermaid like a person with no facial muscles and just lose your mind.
At that moment, the protagonist of this world, who had clearly returned, approached me.
“Boss.”
“….”
You shouldn’t answer right away just because you’re scared. That’s behavior that doesn’t fit Lee Jae-heon’s setting.
“Boss.”
“….”
“…Seniors.”
Yes, right now…!
“…Did you call me?”
“….”
“….”
Nice, it was natural.
‘Fuck, my heart is pounding.’
The man who made eye contact with Jeong In-ho tried to control his pounding heart. Part of me wanted to grab my solar plexus.
I don’t know what happened after Lee Jae-heon’s death, but Jeong In-ho’s eyes were as black as sweet potatoes in a bonfire that had been burning for a long time. The fear got even worse because the man who died in the water tank after casting ‘Ah I don’t know’ was not without sin.
‘Besides, these bastards already hate me, and if they find out that the personality of this body is a ghost police officer, then it will be really…’
It will be difficult to deal with.
The man calmed his breathing discreetly with the same skill as when conducting an undercover investigation.
Fortunately, Jung In-ho didn’t react much, perhaps because he couldn’t sense the difference between the crazy Lee Jae-heon and the current man, or because he wasn’t conscious enough to notice.
“No, I just called you once.”
“You’re getting more cocky by the day.”
“Then can I see your neck now?”
“….”
neck?
‘…ah.’
Come to think of it, by now Jaeheon Lee had not yet announced that he had gills on his neck. It was natural for the protagonist, who remembered the gills that were dripping blood, to want to check Lee Jae-heon’s neck as soon as he returned.
‘It doesn’t really matter to me now…’
But if he shows it, it wouldn’t be Lee Jae-heon going crazy.
“…Hmm….”
The man smiled weakly and took a step back. His actions were slow enough to make you think, ‘Oh, this kid still has a screw loose,’ but he was also resolute in never revealing his injuries.
The man opened his mouth, praising himself for showing off an excellent performance.
“Suddenly I don’t know what you’re talking about. “We showed our necks… was it something like that?”
“….”
“When you ask for something, you have to do it politely, junior.”
The man felt a little sick in his stomach as he called Jeong In-ho ‘junior’. The ‘junior’ that the man called so tiresomely was Hong Gyeong-jun, who was not the disgusting protagonist in front of us, but a complete fashion terrorist.
However, he was full of karma accumulated in the previous episode. It made even more sense to pretend to come to his senses now, so the man had to call the other person ‘junior’.
“How are you going to live a social life if you don’t know these basic things? “Isn’t that right?”
I smiled as slyly as I could and made a defensive motion like Lee Jae-heon from the previous episode, and I saw the main character blink. Like an empty cave in the middle of the night, pitch black eyes appeared covered with eyelids.
“….”
“….”
and.
It’s so fucking gross.
‘…Fuck Kyeongjun, save me….’
He looks like he’s mad right now.
He was usually a man who didn’t swear much, but this time he couldn’t help it. It was difficult for him to endure this hellish silence, having come into a body he did not want in a situation he did not want at all.
“….”
A long silence passed and Jeong In-ho looked down and saw Lee Jae-heon’s finger.
“…Yes, I see.”
“….”
“Then it’s okay.”
With those words, Jeong In-ho grabbed Song In-myeong by the collar and headed to room number 11. Song In-myeong suddenly saw Jung In-ho getting angry and asked, “What the fuck, why are you doing this?” He was scolded for saying, “Your eyes have turned,” but Jeong In-ho remained steadfast.
The man left alone in front of the tank looked at his finger.
“….”
murmur.
“….”
He thought as he looked at his slightly trembling fingertips.
I bought it and lived it.
‘…I guess I just left after checking that the gills had not yet been plucked with my fingers.’
Unlike the last episode, Lee Jae-heon’s fingers were not overtly bloody, although they had many wounds. What this meant was that I had never done anything to the point where there was a lot of blood up to the second knuckle of my finger.
The man was thankful for the timing of his return.
‘How would they have reacted if their gills had already been torn off?’
I don’t know what it was, but judging by the chills running down my spine once again, it didn’t seem like it would be a good reaction. The man barely maintained his expression and looked at the fish tank again.
“….”
He lamented about a life in which he could not even sigh in peace.
‘It’s hard to make a living.’
Anyway, since there was no one else nearby, the man had a chance to organize his thoughts once again. I had to be careful because if I missed this opportunity and talked to other survivors without organizing my thoughts, I could get into big trouble.
‘Okay, I roughly know when it is.’
The biggest problem was why the detective’s personality took over Lee Jae-heon’s body.
‘…No, to be precise… Is this the situation where the stakes for my personality have grown the greatest?’
I think it was probably because Lee Jae-heon had the most rational personality among the poisonous snake detectives that he ended up like this, but it was deplorable in many ways. I thought it would be a similar situation to the previous situation where the old manager and Lee Jae-heon were fighting for personality, and Lee Jae-heon, who was the stronger mentally, ended up taking over the body.
Nevertheless, the good news was that the current man at least did not have memory loss.
“….”
The man was clearly taken by his wife.
‘… When I say this, it seems like I’m an ugly husband who stayed out all night and got dragged around while getting hit on the back…’
Anyway, that was the truth. As he was wandering around, enjoying the ghost life, the writer of this world caught him, and when he came to his senses, the situation was like this.
So… it means that he entered the body of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
“….”
I think things will be sorted out once I get out of this body.
‘… Well, originally, Lee Jae-heon was almost the same person as the poisonous snake personality of his previous life… If you think about it that way, the only thing that was different from usual was me. ‘I’m the only foreign object that keeps coming in.’
Of course, all three personalities have the same fundamentals, so they can be said to be the same person, but the man’s thoughts were slightly different. In the first place, Lee Jae-heon, who recalled his past life, and the man who is Hong Gyeong-jun’s shooter are different in their personalities.
‘You can’t see those things as the same.’
If Lee Jae-heon also failed like the man, I was thinking of taking over his body, but it was a bit difficult now. In this chaotic situation where the final boss has not even been conquered.
‘If something like this had happened in a peaceful reality, I would have thought about it a little bit.’
In a situation like this, isn’t there anything good about a man taking over the body?
“….”
The man, who had roughly organized his thoughts, sighed.
‘…Anyway, I’m not sure what our Mana is thinking.’
This tendency was strong in the past, even when he was a poisoner rather than a detective in Korea. But for some reason, after becoming the author and god of this world, it became more difficult to understand his true intentions.
Sometimes I thought that way too.
“….”
I wonder if I can really think of her as the person I remembered.
You feel that kind of distance.
“…My head hurts.”
It was true that my cool-headedness had returned, but other than that, I was too distracted.
‘I almost understand why they forced me into this body.’
Mana hoped that her beloved husband would be more perfect and complete.
Therefore, originally, if he failed to kill the ‘manager’, the man’s soul was going to reenter the old manager’s body and become mentally connected.
However, the manager destroyed the man’s soul, and the man also wanted to escape from the writer’s clutches, so he lived a ghostly life.
So, if a man entered this body, it would be after Lee Jae-heon, who had become a completely separate soul, had completely disappeared. It’s not like it’s finely mixed together in a blender like it is now…
“…Then what should I do now…?”
Whatever it is, really.
The man was just confused.
* * *
“First of all…”
Yoon Garam, who returned, said.
“Let’s start by killing Song In-myeong.”
Ha Seong-yoon, who had memories before returning, said:
“That would be nice.”
“Hehe.”
“Hehehe….”
They calmed down their hatred toward Song In-myeong in a friendly manner.
