Episode 583
Opinions were eventually narrowed down to one.
“Is there any better option than to die?”
“Isn’t that the problem…?”
“Uncle Kijeong is here and we will attack him.”
“Why on earth am I being treated like this?”
Whether it’s porridge or food, let’s kill the final boss once.
“So what do you do with it?”
There was a moment of silence among the survivors in response to Seo Jang-hwa’s question.
“hey?”
“Ah, I thought about it for a moment…”
“I thought I was going to give up and just leave because no one said anything.”
“Shouldn’t we first find a way to open the glass box and avoid the mermaids?”
Park Da-young nodded vigorously at Jung Eun-woo’s words.
“Please take Dahun out. “It’s so bloated that even the broth is spilling out now.”
“The tone of those words is a bit strange….”
“I’m telling you, it’s going to be a bit later? “Look at me getting seasick.”
Da-young Park proudly pointed to her younger brother, but no one could confirm whether Da-hoon Park was really suffering from motion sickness or not. Kim Ki-jeong, the only one who could hear the sound, simply added, ‘It’s strangely quiet.’
And as he said, Park Da-hoon was quite exhausted.
“My stomach is bursting…”
Park Da-hoon muttered softly.
“I’m so upset I feel like I’m going to explode.”
‘Oh, just be patient.’
“Can you hold back your vomiting?”
Dayoung Park sent a telepathic message, but that didn’t suddenly make my bad feelings better.
Isn’t this a situation where you’re stuck in a narrow box where you can’t move your arms and legs comfortably, waiting for all the water to fill up? Plus, there are mermaids wandering around…
“I’ll go after them.”
I couldn’t help but feel physically and mentally exhausted.
“Save people….”
‘You think we’ll be able to get out soon?’
“I’m really motion sick. “Can I vomit?”
‘Is it okay? Forgetting your social reputation, you’re going to have to stay with your vomit until you open the box, right? What should I do with the foreign substances floating on the water?’
“Miss, don’t go into detail…”
I’m already feeling motion sick, but I’m feeling more nauseous.
“…I’m going out….”
The good news was that I was able to calm my mind and body a little by talking with Park Da-young. Park Da-hoon was quietly shocked by the water that was up to his chin and whined at his older sister.
“It’s so fucking cold in here… Park Da-young, your younger brother is suffering from hypothermia…”
‘Don’t search, you crazy idiot.’
“I decide that….”
‘What do you do if you decide that?’
Park Da-young was just as excited.
“Ah, this weakness of will is real.”
To be exact, what they were doing was closer to mind sharing than telepathy. Gong Yoo became clearer to the point where she could feel the situation as her own as she couldn’t understand what the other person was saying, and perhaps because of that, Park Da-young also felt sick to her stomach.
Garam Yoon looked at the Park siblings in amazement.
“Not long ago, it was all about sharing emotions… but progress is fast.”
“Iknow, right. “Didn’t we share it very generously?”
Park Da-young, who was suffering from motion sickness while steadily communicating with her younger brother, responded to Yoon Garam and Seo Jang-hwa’s words.
“I did it and it worked.”
“You were able to evolve further by using your abilities repeatedly?”
“I guess so…”
The man inside Lee Jae-heon thought to himself as he heard Park Da-young’s words.
‘Actually, it might be closer to the fact that the original ability has finally been properly manifested.’
As far as he remembers, the abilities of the characters in the original work never developed further through effort. Yoon Garam was in a similar situation, and at any rate, at this point, I was hoping that the location exchange seen in the original work would be possible.
‘That’s the actual ability of the Park siblings. share.’
They were able to share not only emotions and thoughts, but also taste, hearing, sight, and even location. It can be said that the affectionate camaraderie of sharing at least one bean shone through.
“Oh, Park Da-hoon, don’t throw up…!”
“―… ――…!!”
“Even I’m feeling nauseous!”
“….”
“Seriously, don’t do it…!”
But it didn’t seem like it was there yet.
‘…After all, friendship only comes when a crisis strikes…?’
The man who thought that far gave up his plan.
‘This time, it’s not a problem that can be solved just by getting one body.’
Even if you create a crisis to awaken them, wouldn’t you ultimately have to put the people involved, Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon, in danger? As a man who was the people’s staff, I didn’t want to go that far. These kids are already having a hard time making a living, so what is the crisis?
“….”
I didn’t understand why it was necessary to awaken the Park siblings’ abilities in the first place.
‘Isn’t this a problem that can be solved if I and the others get along well…?’
Does it really have to be just me and those chicks?
‘Inefficient bastard.’
It hurts so much that I get sick later.
There was a time when I was a poisonous snake, so I have nothing to say about that, but Lee Jae-heon was very pessimistic about the topic of having a personality mixed with that of an old man. Anyway, it felt like thorns would grow on my tongue if I didn’t sacrifice myself.
After organizing his thoughts, the man opened his mouth.
“…If only there was a way to avoid the mermaid… Don’t you think you could get help from Eun-woo Jeong, whether it’s rescuing student Park Da-hoon or killing the final boss?”
All eyes were focused on Lee Jae-heon.
“….”
“….”
“…Why?”
Honestly, I was a little scared.
‘What the fuck?’
He spoke in a sufficiently frantic tone, his pupils were slightly dilated, and while he slowly adjusted his speaking speed, his pronunciation itself was clear. I felt like I was properly imitating ‘Crazy Lee Jae-heon’, but I couldn’t figure out why I was receiving such attention.
The answer was soon heard from Dayoung Park.
“My uncle said he would get help from others…”
“…?”
“what? “Is today April Fool’s Day?”
suddenly?
“If it wasn’t April Fool’s Day, you wouldn’t have said something like that?”
Am I not even human?
‘Can’t I get help…?’
I don’t know the division of work, so I divide the work?
It was absurd. If Lee Jae-heon had thrown himself so hard all this time, he would have reacted like that. Honestly, it would have been much more efficient to go with all the others rather than just Jaeheon Lee!
‘Fortunately, Lee Jae-heon thought he was truly crazy, so he was just surprised by my crazy remarks…’
But then he suddenly said, ‘Who are you!’ I felt relieved because I didn’t have to hear the sound, but on the other hand, it was uncomfortable. As expected, I felt like I needed to figure out a way to get out of this body as soon as this strategy was over.
‘I can’t live like this.’
Even now, the main character’s pitch-black gaze is disgusting and I can’t stand it.
“Boss.”
“…You’re calling me, right?”
“you’re right. “I was wondering if he had a serious head injury and was in trouble.”
“I have always been sane.”
“Seeing as you say that, it seems like you are the usual manager…”
“…”
“If you are on the verge of spitting out your brains, please tell me in advance.”
“…Of course.”
In my mind, the words ‘What kind of Cthulhu-like being do you see Lee Jae-heon as?’ went beyond my vocal cords and went up and down my tongue, but I could barely bear it. Wouldn’t it be better to endure it than to be exposed by the crazy protagonist and the crazy doctor and get ripped off?
The man sighed.
‘Starting a new life with a body like this is a joke, honey…? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is right.’
Why do I have to bear the karma of Lee Jae-heon?
‘It’s hard to make a living.’
Jeong Eun-woo, who had been quiet all this time, nodded and said, probably as if he was gathering the thoughts that Jae-heon Lee had expressed while the man was soaking in grief.
“What Director Lee Jae-heon said is correct. If I could avoid the mermaid, take student Park Da-hoon out of the box, and kill the mermaid, the final boss, at the same time in the process, it couldn’t be any neater than that. The amount of manpower involved can be minimized, and most importantly, I can breathe underwater using a wetsuit. “In many ways, there is less risk.”
“But isn’t it difficult to avoid the mermaids’ gaze and bring out Park Da-hoon in the first place?”
The most important thing was ‘how to avoid mermaids’.
“Actually, even if just this is resolved, I think more than half of my current concerns will disappear.”
Park Da-young nodded at Song In-myeong’s words.
“That man is right.”
“Thank you very much for treating me like a human being.”
“The radioactive waste tells us how much the world has developed. Anyway, have you ever found any information related to mermaids at a concert hall or anywhere else? Or there are parts that I can roughly guess…”
Park Da-young’s eyes were secretly focused on returnees like Jeong In-ho and Yoon Gar-ram. The intention was to tell them now if there was any information they couldn’t reveal in the last episode, but unfortunately, they also didn’t know how to avoid the mermaid’s gaze.
Park Da-young, who noticed their expression, muttered as if she was troubled.
“…It would probably be difficult to just go to the glass box. “I think the mermaids will get in the way.”
“Maybe the mermaid won’t interfere?”
The survivors smiled lukewarmly at Park Min-jun’s hopeful remarks.
“The monsters in the underworld may not be aggressive. Of course it is.”
“Maybe it’s a little hard to hope for that….”
“Haha, it’s really nice to see Park Min-jun’s positive mind!”
Park Min-jun thought to himself about their reactions.
‘Fuck I know.’
At this point, I felt like I had to make one ignorant comment to maintain my image as a harmless survivor, so I just said whatever came to mind.
‘Is there any way that the monsters my wife created in the first place wouldn’t be aggressive?’
The monsters in the other world were all hostile to the survivors. It was inevitable because it was a space created by the underworld to kill administrators without hesitation. Among them, if there was a monster that did not harm survivors, there was a high probability that it would be greatly influenced by the survivors.
Regardless of Park Min-jun’s thoughts, the story continued.
“But isn’t it possible that what Mr. Park Min-jun said is right? I don’t think it would be a bad idea to check it at least once, but…”
“How are you going to check that? “If you want to know whether a monster is aggressive or not, don’t you have to go into that tank yourself?”
“Even if you don’t really go in, won’t you react if you get close?”
Han Do-yoon intervened in the words of Kim Ki-jeong and Seo Jang-hwa.
“Why not just dip one foot in it?”
“If you want to become a cripple, go for it. “I’m really curious how you’ll react once your foot flies off, Firefighter Han Do-yoon.”
“We have brought it to a new era.”
“?? What are you talking about? Really…”
Kim Ki-jeong was now quite adept at ignoring Do-yoon Han’s nonsense. Kim Ki-jeong, who gave a shocked expression, raised his head and looked towards the glass box where Park Da-hoon was trapped.
“Um…”
“What do you hear?”
“yes? No, I can only hear the sound of Da-hoon Park dying.”
“I was wondering if you could hear that sound….”
Kim Ki-jeong looked embarrassed at Yoon Garam’s words.
“No, I’m not saying he’s really dying… that’s…”
“That’s just cruelty.”
Park Da-young acted calmly and scolded her younger brother for no reason.
“No matter what I say, it doesn’t seem to calm my stomach. Thanks to this, I am also feeling sick. “It feels like I’ve been riding a really shaking bus for about 10 hours.”
“It looks like Dahun is having a hard time.”
“…Your water is filling up faster and faster.”
It was a well-known story that the lower your mental strength, the faster the water in the glass box filled. It was the result of the returnees’ amazing thumping, and the survivors’ expressions darkened because of it.
“We need to save them quickly…”
“But what about the mermaid?”
Once again, when the survivors’ opinions were divided, Lee Jae-heon raised his hand.
To be exact, the man inside it.
“I just have an opinion.”
“It’s a little ominous, but the opinion you just made was quite valid, so I’ll give you the floor.”
“What if I become bait?”
“ah-ha, I see.”
Jeong In-ho smiled warmly.
“I’m an idiot for believing.”
What niche market are you targeting?
