Episode 566:
What happened in the last episode that made Jung In-ho’s eyes rot, Yoon Gar-ram predict a murder, and Ha Seong-yoon actively support his daughter’s declaration of crime?
It was really simple.
“I guess this is why they say people can’t be rewritten.”
The root of all evil was Song In-myeong.
And Ha Seong-yoon shook his head at Yoon Garam’s words.
“No, I don’t agree with some things, but I think that might be a narrow-minded view.”
“then…?”
“In the world, there is trash that can be recycled, there is trash that cannot be recycled, there is trash that is just useless, there is trash that is just dirty, and there is also trash that is harmful.”
“Like radioactive waste?”
“Our Garam has good understanding.”
“I’m embarrassed.”
The father and daughter, who were not two fathers, harshly criticized Song In-myeong and strengthened their affection.
‘Anyway, no matter how hard I try to do it, Song In-myeong cannot be reused.’
Ha Seong-yoon’s backbone was severely strained.
What happened in the last episode can be summarized by Song In-myeong Award and Jung Eun-woo. With Song In-myeong chasing behind him and Jeong Eun-woo running wild above him, it was a complete mess of madness.
―Gachwiga job!!
―Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
More than anything, Seo Jang-hwa was under a lot of stress.
Song In-myeong followed up to kill Seo Jang-hwa, perhaps because he believed that the most threatening target among the group he was chasing was Seo Jang-hwa, or because he had different standards that ordinary people could not understand.
Seo Jang-hwa eventually collapsed due to that persistent obsession.
“Hmm…”
She looked worried as if Yoon Garam had a similar thought.
“I’m worried about my boots.”
“Don’t worry, Student Janghwa won’t remember the last episode.”
“Oh, that’s right, but… I just feel like that.”
“That’s how everyone reacts when they first regress.”
Still, Garam Yoon seemed to be adapting very well.
‘I wondered what I would do if I couldn’t overcome the confusion and let go of reason, but I’m glad I did.’
Ha Seong-yoon’s worries were not excessive, as usually the last survivor would end up in a very dire situation. Basically, this is a return that requires you to die while all your colleagues are dead.
In the same context, most of those who returned as the final survivors showed symptoms of confusion and anxiety, whereas Yoon Garam was no different from usual except for his obsession with ‘I will kill Song In-myeong.’
“….”
No, is that ‘I will kill you’ thought the problem?
“…Hmm….”
“Teacher? “Why are you doing this?”
“No, I just wanted to go to the concert hall again sometime.”
Ha Seong-yoon decided to just leave it alone.
‘Because Song In-myeong must die after all.’
Ha Seong-yoon came to a simple conclusion, but Yoon Gar-ram, who did not know what was going on, just nodded.
“Well, it will take a long time to get to the concert venue… This is largely because the aquarium is so large.”
“The thought of having my leg torn off one more time gives me a headache.”
It was already known that if you couldn’t demonstrate physical ability at an extraordinary level like Seo Jang-hwa or Jeong Eun-woo, you would have to sacrifice your legs to cross the ‘Friends by the Stream.’
In the last episode, Ha Seong-yoon overthrew Yoon Gar-ram and followed Han Do-yoon, who took the lead. That was a way to reduce the amount of blood shed.
“But since I already know the path of ‘Friends by the Creek’, I can say that it is fortunate that I will definitely be ripped off less than last time.”
“This time, I’ll just walk.”
“huh? No, what can I say… Garam just needs to keep Song In-myeong and Jung Eun-woo in mind.”
Ha Seong-yoon said that and looked around.
“…I think we haven’t found the coin yet.”
Where they are now is the lobby where the aquarium’s ticket office is located. In other words, it seemed like we had just entered the aquarium building.
“You need a coin to get in. Where is it?”
“What I found was on the ceiling.”
“Oh, that’s right… That really hit home.”
“I was able to get it out because I had a ladder.”
“Anyway, it’s a funny place.”
The two from last episode spent quite a bit of time in this lobby. This was because it took some time to find out that you needed a coin to buy a ticket at the ticket booth and go inside.
‘Moreover, it was difficult to actually find the coin, perhaps because other survivors had already gone in looking for it…’ Didn’t In-ho Jeong,
Jang-hwa Seo, Han Do-yoon, and Ki-jeong Kim already come to the aquarium earlier? They probably also found coins to give to the ticket booth to enter, and perhaps because of that, all the remaining coins were in strange places.
One was in the gap between the ceiling lights, as Garam Yoon said, and the other was in the backrest of the sofa in the lobby. Either way, it wasn’t an easy place to find.
“This is the advantage of regression.”
Anyway, this wasn’t a big problem for the two who remembered the last episode.
“Even if a complex problem arises, I can solve it quickly.”
“It’s really convenient.”
“I’m glad you felt that way.”
Ha Seong-yoon smiled slightly as he looked at the confident figure of Yoon Gar-ram, who was dragging a large ladder all by himself.
“Garam.”
“yes? yes.”
“Are you okay?”
“….”
“I’m just worried.”
At least the scene Ha Seong-yoon remembers from the last episode was not very peaceful.
“This time too, I died first…”
Ha Seong-yoon was the second person to die from Song In-myeong after Seo Jang-hwa.
“Looking at you, it looks like you succeeded in getting out of the aquarium, but I guess you must have been very tired. “I’m not sure what happened, but it must have been heartbreaking.”
“….”
“The only combat personnel left in the park were Detective Hong Gyeong-jun and student Vivian, but Bian, who was trustworthy, didn’t know about the return… Detective Detective, who knew well, had a lot of untrustworthy aspects. Even though Kang Min-ah is dependable, there is something insecure about her. “Isn’t that right?”
“Haha, it was a bit like that.”
“So I was wondering if you were okay.”
Ha Seong-yoon smiled slightly, like the smile that Garam Yoon made.
“If something happened that made you tired, you suggested having a chat with me behind my back.”
“Going behind my back? Oh my…”
Ha Seong-yoon’s words were so funny that Yoon Garam couldn’t erase his smile.
“I don’t think there is a word that suits teacher better than this.”
“You tend to see me as too nice.”
“It’s a little bit like that. But, well, nothing happened.”
Garam Yoon’s words were sincere.
“It was difficult to leave the aquarium because of Song In-myeong and Jeong Eun-woo… but Da-hoon and I escaped alive.”
For some reason, Song In-myeong did not follow me outside the aquarium. When I visited the aquarium again, I found his body, which appeared to have committed suicide, at the entrance.
“The way back to the park was simple, and everyone cooperated well after returning to the park, so there was nothing difficult.”
In other words, it meant that no one other than Yoon Garam and Park Dahoon left the aquarium alive.
Because of the atrocious survival rate, I kept seeing other colleagues who had died in the aquarium, but that was all. The survivors who had enough time at the park took care of Yoon Garam and Park Dahoon as much as they could.
“After that, no matter how I became the final survivor, it just happened that everyone died and I was the only one left. Rather than something happening, it was more like a few people died while coming in and out of the aquarium, and the weakest people left in the park were attacked by a monster.”
“….”
“Wouldn’t that be enough to call it a natural death in the other world…? “It’s not like he went around killing everyone else to become the final survivor like Song In-myeong did.”
Ha Seong-yoon sighed in an awkward mood.
“I feel bad because it seems like our Garam has learned something bad….”
“It’s a bad thing.”
“How can I say it, it feels like an innocent child realizing the dirty capitalism of adults… that’s how it feels. “I don’t know how to express it, but that’s how it is now.”
“Wasn’t I too big to be pure?”
“Was it too pretentious?”
It was difficult for Ha Seong-yoon to explain why he felt this bitterness. It just felt that way.
“…Still, I’m glad there didn’t seem to be any major conflicts.”
This rule that ‘the last surviving survivor becomes the target of regression’ was a condition sufficient to destroy a person’s spirit. This means that Ha Seong-yoon was not worried about Yoon Gar-ram’s mental state for no reason.
However, Garam Yoon did not seem to be very tired, so Ha Seongyoon relaxed.
“….”
Of course, I wonder what it would be like, but…
‘I knew right away that Garam was a little different from others.’
In the underworld, being slightly crazy was more advantageous for survival.
“Now here’s the coin.”
“Thank you.”
Ha Seong-yoon and Yoon Garam each took coins from a place they remembered. Because the location was already known, the time it took was significantly less. Garam Yoon returned the ladder to its original location and went to the ticket office.
“Now you just have to buy a ticket, right?”
“Yes, that’s right… I feel strangely impatient.”
“That’s the same for me too. “I get nervous because I don’t know what the people inside are doing.”
“There is no harm in going faster. “Because there is a lot of work to be done.”
That was when the two of them were trying to buy tickets.
“Over there…”
“!”
“!”
An unfamiliar voice came from the entrance.
A brown-haired man hesitated and spoke to the two.
“I’m sorry, but if I have that coin… will I be able to go inside…?”
Garam Yoon blinked in a situation that did not exist in the last episode.
‘This has never happened before…?’
Wondering how to interpret this, I looked back at Ha Seong-yoon and saw that Ha Seong-yoon was making a soft expression. It seemed like Ha Seong-yoon’s speed had become complicated. It was clear that none of the numerous regressions had ever happened like this.
As the two fell silent, the man seemed embarrassed.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. “I was just wondering how I could get in, so I tried to talk to him, and I’m really sorry.”
Ha Seong-yoon opened his mouth.
“No, it’s okay. I was just a little surprised because it had been a long time since I met someone new here. “You have nothing to be sorry about.”
“Is that so?”
“But you just asked about my position…”
“Oh yes.”
The man asked a question with a slightly relaxed expression.
“If I have that coin, can I go inside? “I wanted to go in, but I didn’t know how to buy a ticket… I have money, but the mannequin at the ticket booth doesn’t even take money.”
“Aha… Yes, if you find a coin that looks like this, you can exchange it for a ticket.”
Ha Seong-yoon asked.
“But why do you want to go in here? “It would be safer outside, right?”
“…I think there might be someone I know in there…”
“Are you going to look for a friend?”
“yes yes.”
The man said while looking at me.
“I’m sorry, this may be unpleasant, but I saw you going into the aquarium… and I followed you. I wasn’t confident in going in alone and didn’t know how to get in, so I was wandering around outside to see if there was another way, and then I saw the two of you…” ”
….”
“I was watching from the entrance and it seemed like you knew how to get in. So I knew it was rude, but I continued. It’s not that I was spying on you in a bad way or anything… It’s really hard to go in alone…”
Ha Seong-yoon nodded inwardly.
‘If so, the contradictions in the current situation can be roughly explained.’
The man from the last episode may have been tired of Yoon Garam and Ha Seongyoon worrying at the entrance and not being able to go inside, so he may not have spoken to them. It made even more sense when they said they were looking for a separate entrance other than the main gate, saying, ‘I was wondering if there was another way.’
Then, after Yoon Garam and Ha Seongyoon went inside after finding the coin, they didn’t know how to get in and didn’t have the courage to go in alone, so they couldn’t see it at the aquarium.
“….”
Still, something feels uneasy…
‘…Strangely, Fitz has been under low pressure since a while ago.’
Ha Seong-yoon glanced down at Fitz at our feet.
In the last episode, this little monster that was left behind at the ‘Friends by the Stream’ seemed strangely in a bad mood from the moment the man spoke to him. However, it was not like he reacted as strongly as a bite, and it was even more difficult to make a judgment.
‘I’m not doing this because I’m a bad person, but it could just be because I’m a stranger…’
As Ha Seong-yoon continued to worry, the man added.
“Are you trying to go inside now? Can I go too? “I can assure you that I will never be in your way.”
Ha Seong-yoon swallowed a sigh at the sight of him not seeming to back down and asked.
“What is your name?”
“What’s your name…?”
“Shouldn’t we make a full statement?”
That was permission for the man to join.
‘If you’re going to come to the aquarium anyway, it’s better to join from now on.’
The identity of the other person was unclear. It was a stranger, and Fitz’s reaction was subtle. However, when he refused to accompany me, the man already knew that he could enter through a coin. Judging by his obsession with his ‘friend’, it seemed like he would catch up with him even if I left him here.
Ha Seong-yoon introduced us and urged the other party.
“I am Ha Seong-yoon and this is Yoon Gar-ram.”
“Ah ah… right.”
A brown-haired man with a shy smile answered.
“My name is Park Min-jun.”
“….”
“Thank you… for allowing me to accompany you.”
