Episode 589
After finishing the phone call with Ha Seong-yoon, Lee Jae-heon looked around the house.
“….”
Jang Seo-ah was nowhere to be seen.
‘Is President Choi Jeong-man still taking care of it?’
It was probably correct, as the place where I left my child before entering the aquarium was CEO Jeongman Choi’s home. Since I entered this side world and left it fairly quickly, I didn’t think there would be any major changes to the kindergarten students’ residences.
“….”
Lee Jae-heon blinked slowly as he looked at the strangely chilly house.
“…You also have a strong stomach.”
Even though it was modeled after children, it was still a mannequin.
Since I have a younger sister at home, it would have been difficult to show off my discomfort while looking at the mannequin, but the fact that I still had kindergarten students who were mannequins…
‘That’s why I want to be the first to check when the children come home.’
Or maybe it was because he wanted to reassure me.
“….”
That would be a proper father.
“It’s also great.”
This was something Jaeheon Lee couldn’t do.
‘No.’
Was it something that had already been done?
“….”
I was a little out of my mind.
Even considering that I had just visited the secret world, I was extremely tired.
‘…It’s been a very long time since I’ve been torn apart like this…’
Neither in my past life nor in my current life have my entire body been torn apart as much as this time. Even in his previous life, he was a poisonous snake with a high position. What reason could there be for losing nearly half of one’s body?
“….”
However, I felt a little unwell.
“…Isn’t this all your fault?”
When I asked the front door mirror, I heard a rather unpleasant voice.
“Why is it my fault? “You blame others too much, my friend.”
“I always have reasonable doubt…”
“It’s reasonable.”
“No, wait a minute.”
Why can’t I hear an answer?
Jaeheon Lee looked back at the mirror with his face wrinkled.
“Are you talking now?”
“I could always talk. “You know I’m not dumb.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything until now? “I thought it was either because of the limitations of the mirror as a medium, or because I was really dumb.”
“You raise an argument very gracefully. Even now, my blood pressure is rising like this, so what kind of affection and passion could I have spoken to you? “Of course not.”
“Oh, I was so unlucky that I didn’t want to deal with you?”
“Oh, did you know that now?”
“….”
“….”
Lee Jae-heon, who had been wandering around looking for a hammer for a while, soon settled back on the mirror.
“I… have no energy right now.”
“So you’re saying you don’t have the strength to break the mirror?”
“That’s all you need to know.”
A deep sigh escaped Lee Jae-heon’s mouth.
“Why am I like this….”
“No, who can say that? I just sighed and fell asleep.”
“I would be very grateful if you could stop arguing and just explain the situation.”
“…I guess so.”
The ghost police officer in the mirror agreed quite obediently.
In the first place, Lee Jae-heon was not the only person whose body was torn apart by mermaids. The man who moved that body and decided on his actions was equally tired.
“You think they’re looking after me because I don’t have the stamina left to bite and tear at anyone.”
If I had no intention of exchanging information, I would not have revealed from the beginning that I could talk.
“Let’s start explaining.”
“yes.”
“Mana number 1 put me in your body.”
“yes.”
“I don’t know what process took place number 2, but as a result, my mental head was finely ground like strawberry banana chocolate juice.”
“yes?”
“Three times, when the juice got to the point where I couldn’t use it, I, the strawberry that was the least chopped out of all the strawberries, pretended it was banana chocolate juice.”
“….”
“Do you understand?”
Lee Jae-heon gathered all the strength he had from breastfeeding to build the Oman statue.
“…What the fuck are you talking about….”
“Huh, your intelligence has decreased since this became strawberry banana chocolate.”
“No, I roughly understood.”
Strawberry was a ghost police officer and Banana Chocolate was the current Lee Jae-heon. So, it seemed like it meant a chocolate old man who remembered his past life as a banana, but Malbonsae didn’t like this bizarre explanation anyway.
Lee Jae-heon’s old-fashioned spirit, which had been suppressed due to fatigue, naturally came out and disturbed his mood.
“What I’m saying is, do you really need to say it that way?”
“I used to live like this. “I feel really sorry for our Director Lee Jae-heon, right?”
“Are you telling me this is just like my previous life?”
“Oh, either look in the mirror or something. “If you’re scared, just shut your mouth and go to sleep.”
“What a brat with no long hair.”
“Is it because I had the face I had when I was young, or because I lived longer than you?”
“Anyway, you’re causing trouble to Mana by running away from home.”
“Huh…?? “How good is the beggar doing that he’s drifting as Mana?!”
The ghost policeman shouted, widening his eyes and tearing the corners of his mouth as if he was really going crazy.
“Did you find the manager? Did you find it?! “You couldn’t find it!!”
“….”
“You can’t even do what Mana tells you to do, but you just shout out loud. “What do you know how to do properly…!!”
“….”
“…I was wrong, so please stop digging.”
The ghost policeman looked frustrated and went crazy, but Lee Jae-heon, who was already devastated, couldn’t hear it.
Those damn ghost police words hit me where it hurts.
‘Fuck…’
In an instant, Jaeheon Lee, who felt like shit about himself and everything in his life, was sagging like seaweed on the sofa with his eyes measuring the temperature of the water in the Han River.
‘ruined.’
I felt like I was losing my mind because my life had been ruined so badly.
‘What the hell should I do?’
Before entering the aquarium, he had decided to somehow kill Lee Jae-hee to establish the fact that he had been abused by his family in the other world and in reality since he was a child.
‘In the other world.’
Only then will we be able to create a mannequin that fits the probability of a ‘family member who is no longer dead.’
However, the plan went quite awry when Jung Eun-woo was dragged into the underworld. As soon as tomorrow morning, Chief of Staff Jeong Eun-woo, who will be on his feet, will confirm that Lee Jae-hee is not a mannequin, and in the case of his older brother Lee Jae-hyung, he has already confirmed that Jeong In-ho is a human.
“….”
In short, there was no longer any family to kill and turn into a mannequin. There are no scapegoat candidates for the possibility of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
“…These Jeong bastards, these bastards.”
Why can’t I just get involved with these Jeong guys?
The ghost police officer grumbled in the mirror.
“Oh, what a vulgar testimony. “Let’s stop swearing. I don’t want to hang out.”
“Why don’t you go away?”
“Don’t you know that the more you react like that, the more I want to tease you??”
“Break the mirror and throw it away.”
“Then just go to the bathroom mirror. “The house is so large that there are endless mirrors.”
“….”
Suppressing his deepening self-hatred, Jaeheon Lee calmly took a deep breath.
“Now… that’s not important.”
“They say there’s something more important in my ghost life than my joy.”
“Mana’s request.”
“Oh, that’s kind of important.”
“I have a question, Detective.”
Lee Jae-heon, who had mastered his mind, looked back at the mirror and asked.
“Who is that bastard manager?”
“Are you asking me that?”
The ghost police officer answered, barely maintaining a smile.
“If I had been in a position to say that, would I have been doing this here…? In this dirty, stuffy mirror? If things had worked out that easily, I would have gone on a sweet soup tour with Gyeongjun by now. “Then your current home would never have been built in the first place.”
“Even so, the author who ruined the work by not being able to escape the influence of the manager is really good at using his tongue to say that his mouth was open. “I don’t hear any bullshit from losers.”
“So, how well did you do…! “How well did you do, you bastard!!”
“Ha… So, I guess they are prohibited from revealing the identity of the manager…”
Lee Jae-heon, who had completely ignored it, shook his head again.
If you think about it, Mana-sama and all the possessors so far, as well as those with roots in their past lives, all had a secret antipathy towards the manager, but were unable to strike a decisive blow against him. It clearly meant that there were restrictions.
‘And while I can recognize the manager, I will be the one who can kill him without any problems. That’s probably why he woke up in the body of old manager Lee Jae-heon in the first place…’
In conclusion, Lee Jae-heon is in a position where he has to take care of the manager on his own.
“….”
“Are you finished organizing your thoughts?”
“…My head doesn’t work well….”
I had no idea how to kill the manager.
“At least you need to know who the manager is so you can do something.”
As long as you knew who the manager was, the rest was easy. No matter how much of an old manager he was, it wasn’t that difficult to wipe out a person, and more than anything, there was a high probability that Mana would take care of it just by contacting him and dragging him to the underworld.
‘The problem is that I can’t figure out who it is…’
My mind was confused for some reason.
“….”
actually.
It could have been that he just didn’t want to think about anything.
“…I’m tired.”
“Hey, what am I doing?”
“I kind of want to die.”
“….”
“…It was a slip of the tongue.”
I don’t want to die.
I know it shouldn’t be like that. The dead ‘Jaeheon Lee’ has no value.
Jaeheon Lee muttered.
“…I have to live.”
I need to find a way to kill the manager and completely escape the underworld, and enjoy a bit of fame while eating up the family’s wealth like a rat.
“I know.”
“….”
“That’s why he died and came back to life.”
The ghost police officer, who had been listening with an expressionless face, asked in an indifferent tone.
“How much do you remember…? So, when we got mixed up.”
“Well, it happens occasionally, like right after I wake up drunk. “I don’t know the details, but I know the overall flow.”
“So you vaguely remember what I did.”
The first thing Jaeheon Lee said when he returned to reality was ‘Thank you for your hard work.’ This meant that Lee Jae-heon remembered, to some extent, the situation at the time when he was crazy.
“It’s amazing that it was mixed so complicatedly and then separated again.”
“…It felt like the files I had merged were thrown apart, but I guess it was restored to its original state because I escaped from the other side of the world where Mana-sama can use her power powerfully?”
“For now, this is the most likely case.”
In that case, it meant that there was a high probability that a ghost police officer would enter Lee Jae-heon’s body when he went to the other world again. Probably because the author wanted Lee Jae-heon to be completed properly.
“Anyway, you’re greedy.”
Both the ghost police officer and the current Lee Jae-heon did this because they did not want to lose any of the pieces of my husband.
“Isn’t it such a deep love?”
“…Because you have always been a loving person.”
“I’m scared of that sometimes.”
“….”
“Think about it carefully, Lee Jae-heon.”
A man who looks like a snake doesn’t look like a snake at all… He spoke in a dry, tired voice.
“Can you really throw away everything just for Mana-sama?”
“Of course….”
“Seoado?”
“….”
“Minhong too?”
“….”
“Everyone else?”
The ghost continued.
“I couldn’t do it.”
So, I was sulking alone and leading this lonely life.
“That’s why I failed.”
“….”
“Well, how different would it be for you? Let’s just say I was a little influenced by the personality of the old manager…”
“Stop it.”
“It meant not covering it up and pretending not to know, but thinking about it carefully.”
The ghost policeman then smiled.
“There is no particular reason why Mana gave Lee Jae-heon, the old man with a bad personality, as yours. In the past, I still had roots from my past life, so I couldn’t escape the manager’s influence, and I was too affectionate, so I had a lot of regrets toward other friends around me. So, I already said that I failed…” “
….”
“So, you thought it would be a little different if it was Lee Jae-heon, the old manager. “The original Lee Jae-heon had such a dirty personality that people didn’t interact with him, and he himself had a great resistance to forming deep relationships, and he gained self-satisfaction by harassing others… and even lacked affection.”
“….”
“He was unable to form deep relationships with the people around him, and at the same time, he allowed himself, his wife, to fill that deficiency. That was his original intention.”
the snake asked.
“Is that the wife you knew?”
“….”
“Even if I am now a god instead of a human?”
That strong and kind person who taught you love and gave you happiness.
“….”
“….”
Jaeheon Lee soon slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
he answered.
“That’s right then.”
Is there anyone else but her who would love something so terrible?
“No one would do that.”
“….”
“They say only that person loves me.”
Unfortunately, Jaeheon Lee remembered Park Dayoung, who was afraid of him.
I remember the gaze frozen in fear of encountering a monster.
“Just him.”
He loved me completely.
