Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The reason he dared to draw the main character's attention was to break the stigma on 'Manager Lee Jaehun'.

Surprisingly, people don't care about other people.

In creative works, it seems natural to feel sorry for or care about someone when they find out that they have a painful past, but in reality, they are just troublesome people who cannot escape from their past.

That's especially true between co-workers. No one wants to know the deep circumstances of an employee who works in the same company unless they're close enough.

How uncomfortable and irritating it would be if the seat next to you was an employee who often hurts themself or has hallucinations and screams.

If you're going to have such a hard time, go to the hospital. Why did you come to the company?

One does not want to be nuanced by others, and at the same time does not want to be a nuisance.

You can sympathize with how sick and difficult anothers life is, but it doesn't have more value than that.

Manager Lee Jaehun was also in the same position.

'Should I say it's worse?'

He was obviously the boss of the same department, but nothing more.

If the person you dislike had a past or an illness, it was okay to be happy, as there is little room for compassion.

However, the main character of this novel was not particularly sane, he was a good person but not normal.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

He has a strange belief about good and evil, and he defines everyone in the world by it.

Among them, Lee Jaehun would like to think that Head Manager Lee Jaehun was somewhere in the middle between a criminal and just an evil person.

And because he is such a main character, Lee Jaehun knew how to be trusted by the main character.

Or he at least knew how to trigger it.

All he has to do is challenge his justice.

"Hey."

Kwaduk!

The black pupils that were looking at him widened.

Run.

Kaga gak gak!

[Note: Im not good at translating the onomatopoeia so Ill just leave them be.]

Lee Jaehun moved his legs along with those words, and countless spider legs that were pouring towards him were stuck in the corner of the hallway.

A bloody explosion pierced the cement wall as he prepared for the next attack.

Fortunately, the group quickly came to their senses and ran away with pale faces, and leading them was Roh Yun-seok, an intern who said he had been working out.

He must have remembered what Lee Jaehun had asked him to do when he left the office, and he seemed to be doing just that, which was quite an admirable attitude.

He sighed as he saw Kang Min, the Chief Assistant Manager who ran holding the hand of the junior office worker she had just met.

'This is much more efficient.'

In the novel, Chief Kang was attacked earlier and bled out.

Naturally, she, who has no tolerance for pain, loses her judgment in fear, and dies apart from her group without even checking her surroundings.

She doesnt die right away, suffering for quite a while before passing. Lee Jaehun didnt bother recalling that description.

Contrasting that, Lee Jaehun was tolerant of pain, so he was overflowing with confidence.

Perhaps the main character who met him on the weekend knew this too. That's why he now dared to get the main character's attention before he was attacked.

Efficiency aside, he had to act according to the settings he made last night.

The meaning of Lee Jaehun's gaze on the main character earlier was I will go in first and see if there is a trap.

Quadduk!

Fuck.

Lee Jaehun twisted his brow as he broke a spider leg that he didn't see coming.

This monster !

He hurt his shoulder because of these dogs.

Lee Jaehun stood with his back facing the fleeing party and diligently cut off the spider's leg.

He didn't know that the pipe he pulled out of the office could be put to such good use.

Thanks to these bastards, his pierced shoulder burned like it was on fire, and to be honest, his senses were starting to dull.

His old personality was gradually surfacing with the dirty feeling that his survival was being threatened, he had grown tired of this feeling in his previous life.

Perhaps because he was in charge of the rear, he could feel Jung In-ho looking over him.

"Boss! Are you going to be okay !

Dont you look ahead?! It's fine, I'll search for you, so just run!"

Of course, there was no time to have a friendly conversation.

Do you dare to chat when literally running like a dog isn't enough? If even one person dies like this, who will receive the resentment?

The main character and the other members of the party did not have the mentality to objectively deal with someone's death.

Of course, it will take a toll, and they will instinctively find someone to blame.

He sacrificed his shoulder at best, but he had no intention of ruining the plan by creating such an atmosphere.

Since the main character has excellent eyesight, if he has enough time, he will quickly find out the meaning of Lee Jaehun's gaze.

Whether affection overflows or melts away from warmth, a peaceful conversation is enough at another time. So there's no need to accept useless words in this urgent situation where you don't know when or how someone will die.

Lee Jaehun tried not to make his movements look too foreign, and only cut off the legs of the spider that approached him very dangerously.

Of course, by then, the definition of me must have changed quite a bit.'

His shoulder was sacrificed for such a reason in the first place.

At the time, Lee Jaehun only felt something strange, but he did not know what would appear on the side where the wind noise was heard.

However, thanks to the fact that he was familiar with the sense of dissonance in the setting, he went in to check it first.

As long as Lee Jaehun's existence itself is a variable, the content of the novel can be changed as much as possible, which means that he does not know what injuries he will suffer in the future.

If he sustained a large wound to the abdomen, he would barely be able to stop the bleeding with just this amount of bandages.

So, he wished that someone had a sewing kit.

If you put cotton or gauze inside and sew it on as it is, of course, there is a high risk of infection and it is not a very effective method, but still, there would be no need to waste the bandages this early.

Lee Jaehun briefly looked at the stapler on the desk, but after noticing the black eyes staring at him, he turned his eyes again.

.

You don't have to show off that youre insane.

He inserted gauze into the puncture wound, wrapped it with minimal bandages, and applied pressure.

He decided that this level of treatment was necessary as he had already lost a lot of blood when running while straining his injured limbs.

Among those who watched Lee Jaehun's actions, Chief Kang opened her mouth.

"you know, sir."

What is it?

Thank you"

.

Lee Jaehun, who instantly thought "What are you talking about?" at such an unexpected statement, quickly remembered that ordinary people have shame.

These were chicks who had not yet lost their sense of duty as human beings.

Thinking that, Lee Jaehun nodded his head to look as natural as possible.

"It was nothing."

Well, it was something to be thankful for.

'Because I prevented many people from dying.'

He recalled the death of Chief Kang in the novel.

He was the first person to die in the story, so he was able to recall quite clearly what his end was like.

In the novel, Chief Kang fell behind a railing that had been lowered due to the influence of the other side, and Office worker Kwon Yeon-hee, who was holding her hand, was startled and let go of that hand and ran away.

I don't think it was just because she was surprised.

Afterward, Chief Kang fell over the railing and had her legs and arms completely broken, and her head was seriously injured and bleeding.

It was not properly explained in the novel, but I think the concussion did not come easily.

Then, without being able to resist the legs of the spider approaching her, she slowly became a skewer and died.

And, of course, the party's mental strength gets shattered and sinks.

"um, How do you feel about your injury?

.

Lee Jaehun blinked slowly at Roh Yun-seok's cautious question.

'Am I not at a level to be concerned about yet?'

Judging by how kindly he even asked how he was doing, it seemed that he was still in good spirits. You can't ask such questions if you're mentally exhausted.

Lee Jaehun couldnt afford to take care of anyone because even he was having a hard time making ends meet.

After thinking for a moment, he answered.

It hurts.

Perhaps they were expecting him to say 'okay', but unfortunately they had to know.

No matter how much Lee Jaehun recalled his previous life, there was a limit to how much people he could cover for.

Im not blaming you guys, so open your ears and listen straight.

.

There were piercing wounds in my left shoulder and right calf. Until just now, I ran without even knowing that I was injured because I was in danger of my life, but my mobility will decrease as time goes by.

Lee Jaehun met the main character's eyes and continued talking.

Do you undertstand?

In a word, it meant If I fall behind, just leave me and go.

'I don't know about the other guys, but that bastard must have understood.'

In fact, eternal death did not mean much to Lee Jaehun.

Right now, he doesn't know if he will be resurrected like in his previous life, so hes willing to cooperate like this, but if he can die for sure and a situation comes that requires his death, he wouldnt really want to save his life.

So, in the same context, neither pain nor injury means anything to him, and the main character must have realized that through last weekend.

If the other party was distracted, Assistant Manager Jung In-ho, who is good at objective judgment, would lead them.

If they don't want to die, these guys will behave well.

Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lee Jaehunn was going to try to some extent.

Didn't he sacrifice his shoulder for the minimum trust in the first place?

'This should be enough in order to cling to the main character.'

Bang.

He closed the first aid kit and continued.

Im tired and on the verge of going crazy, so Im going to take a break. Everyone must have been surprised by the sudden energy in their muscles, but now they are loosening up. We don't know what will pop up in the future, but there's nothing bad about being able to run quick"

.

Because I have limits too.

It's because he got so used to it, but Lee Jaehun was also being influenced by the underworld.

IMPORTANT note: For those who read this right after I posted. Chief Kang is a woman. I had accidentally translated her as a man in the past three chapters. It's been fixed now. Really sorry! I'll try not to make this kind of mistake again.
