Chapter 333

Episode 333

Lee Jae-heon cannot know everything in the world, but if there is a combustible monster burning the house in the background of an apartment, he can roughly guess what kind of thoughts are buried there.

‘I wonder if anyone has ever been burned alive.’

Although it is not an accurate guess, there may have been a similar type of incident.

As I keep saying, the hidden world is created by reflecting the thoughts of the real world, but the ‘thoughts’ here were not created by the thoughts of one or two ordinary people.

‘Either he is a perverted bastard like the art teacher at Eonhak High School, or he has such deep personal thoughts, or the vast majority of people have to pay attention to certain thoughts in order for them to be reflected in the underworld... If the key ring monster that Han Do-yoon dragged in was created, A rumor had spread within or near the apartment complex that a child had been burned alive.’

Misfortune, whether mine or someone else’s, is more memorable than happiness, and the more severe it is, the easier it is to be reflected in the other world. Lee Jae-heon thought that someone had died in this apartment complex and that the world would have been clicking their tongues about it but happily making it a topic of conversation. After all, it’s a good idea to make fun of other people’s misfortune.

And this apartment complex was quite luxurious.

‘If a fire accident occurred to the extent that one person was burned... residents cannot help but be concerned.’

Of course, the fire accident victim’s thoughts could have been as deep as those of the art teacher at Eonhak High School, but we could not be sure.

Jae-heon Lee said there was a high probability that the key ring monster was originally not as small as a key ring, but he guessed that the ignition monster was the trigger for this apartment complex.

“....”

“....”

If you ask me what on earth you are doing to even make such an assumption... well.

“Mr. Jeong In-ho.”

“....”

“Are you ignoring me again?”

In fact, Jaeheon Lee’s plan really wasn’t much.

‘You just have to keep your wits about you.’

It was a story that included not only the main character but also other survivors. Of course, the main character will be the main character, but how effective would it be if you also fix the mentality of other survivors? It may be difficult to fix everything, but I thought I could do something to give me strength for a while.

However, I didn’t mean to just go out and die.

‘I’ve also learned something along the way.’

Let’s think about our teammates from a past life. Of course, there was no way those bastards would have degenerated to this point in the first place, but in any case, they were stimulated to work harder when Lee Jae-heon himself went out and looked after them. If you encouraged a little with a little bit of ‘I’m a lucky because you are aesthetic,’ I was good at it.

But they do that here?

‘It definitely won’t end with a collar.’

It doesn’t really matter if Lee Jae-heon gets caught by the collar, but if things proceed like that, it will eventually be difficult for the chicks to recover mentally. Even though the chicks in my previous life were soft, they would jump like a bouncy ball if you poked them, but the chicks here would almost explode if you poked them.

In short, careful intensity control was necessary.

‘We need to fix the parts that need to be fixed, encourage them when we need to encourage them... and provide them with the mental stamina to engage in active exploration as much as possible.’

‘Lee Jae-heon’ called Jeong In-ho in a dry voice.

“Hey, Mr. Jeong In-ho.”

“Please speak.”

“Shall we eat some food and bruise?”

The good news was that the protagonist’s mentality was not as dire as expected.

“I’m not hungry.”

“Don’t be damned. “Dahun eats well on his own, so what’s the problem with you?”

“I am a problem child.”

“Stop saying whatever comes to mind.”

“....”

“I’m lost again.”

If you ask how you can judge that ‘it’s not as miserable as you think’ after looking at this situation, it’s because you are reacting to Lee Jae-heon’s own words in your own way.

‘I guess that’s why Lee Jae-heon’s existence became like an emergency alarm for Jeong In-ho.’

A person who is like a time bomb who has to react quickly. This means that in Jung In-ho’s subconscious, Lee Jae-heon was positioned as an unstable and dangerous seed who had to react immediately.

‘Honestly, I feel bad... but in some ways, it’s good news.’

This means that he has the ability to react to the outside world, even if unconsciously, and at the same time, it means that he can perceive a certain level of stimulation regarding the topic of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

‘He’s not a stupid kid, so he’ll recover internally little by little on his own...’

At this level, it doesn’t look like ‘Jaeheon Lee’ will be completely unable to recover even if he gets slightly injured.

“....”

It might be a little bit annoying, but it was something that could be taken into consideration. Above all, if things go as planned, I don’t think I’ll ever be caught by the collar.

‘First of all, Jung In-ho is okay.’

Lee Jae-heon patted the top of Jeong In-ho’s head while he was dazed twice and then stood up. Since I had checked everything, there was no need to stay next to the mesmerized chick any longer.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I don’t quite understand what this nonsense is saying.”

“If you’re out of your mind, it’s much easier for you if you don’t show it... Ayssi.”

Ha Seong-yoon smiled.

“rest.”

“Just a little more.”

“Haha....”

Fortunately, Ha Seong-yoon walked away obediently with that bright smile on his face.

‘Well, it might be a bit hard to stop him.’

Even this terrible doctor would have known that ‘Lee Jae-heon’s’ labor was necessary for us to return to reality. Since it was ‘Lee Jae-heon’ who brought these survivors together as a team in the first place, it was only ‘Lee Jae-heon’ who could stimulate them.

“....”

Lee Jae-heon was quite pleased with this change.

‘Soon we will be able to communicate quite well. ‘It’s a good change.’

Ha Seong-yoon, who always scolded ‘Lee Jae-heon’, was reasonably convinced and moved on, even though he revealed that he was overdoing things a bit. You may not think it’s a big deal, but if you think about Dr. Ha Seong-yoon, who cares so much about his patients, this was really encouraging.

‘If I just touch it a few times, I think I can handle that side as well...’

Lee Jae-heon, who was looking at Ha Seong-yoon’s back, exhaled.

“hmm.”

Let’s take this step by step.

Also known as ‘Survivor Team Burnout Escape Plan’. Due to the situation, Jae-heon Lee, who was separated from Ha Seong-yoon, chose the next hitter to organize the plan more precisely.

“Detective.”

“Yes, I just got there.”

“Was it a shopping mall this time?”

“It would be better for me or Kim Yeon-woo to take charge of that.”

“That’s right...”

The target is Hong Gyeong-jun, who has just finished his exploration.

‘In some ways, this side also has a similar problem as Jeong In-ho.’

The problem is that if ‘Lee Jae-heon’ goes out and goes out, he goes out and goes out there too.

“Was there anything unusual?”

“Yes, I talked to Kim Yeon-woo, but other than the occasional traces of monsters, there didn’t seem to be any major problems with the shopping mall. “I looked around mainly at things like triggers and escape monsters in the apartment complex you mentioned earlier.”

“Where did you go today?”

“This time, we conducted an overall broad and thin exploration. First of all, I already checked the area near the pharmacy last time...”

He sighed inwardly as he naturally reported the situation to ‘Lee Jae-heon.’

‘...I can’t help it. ‘For now, this is the only answer.’

Even though it was gross and annoying, I wanted to bring Hong Gyeong-jun back to his senses, but time was running out right now. However, it was obvious that if we did not leave the underworld as soon as possible, this depressed atmosphere would remain in the survivor team. So Jaeheon Lee found another way.

Instead of correcting Hong Gyeong-jun’s illusion that he sees ‘Lee Jae-heon’ as the dead shooter, it fixes the behavior of Detective Hong Gyeong-jun who is too dependent on him. You may wonder what the difference is, but for Lee Jae-heon, the person who is seen overlapping, it was an enormous difference.

‘Because there is a higher probability that you will see me and Sasu Ji in real life as well.’

When I was in the other world, I was trying to survive with ‘Lee Jae-heon’ and the shooter, but when I returned to reality, I would be embarrassed and say, ‘Why did I do that?’ just like before.

So, that was originally planned to be the case...

‘No, you can’t do it.’ ‘I don’t have time or leisure.’

Changing the formula ‘Lee Jae-heon = dead shooter’ was such a waste of effort and sincerity that would have gone into tearing out the delusion embedded in Hong Gyeong-jun’s mind. While I have time to fix that, I’ll go explore Unhak High School one more time. It’s bullshit, but I thought it would be much more effective to say, ‘Yes, I’m the reincarnation of your dead shooter’ and tell them not to do anything stupid.

Jaeheon Lee gave up on tightening Hong Gyeongjun’s missing screws.

“This is what I found out today.”

“...okay.”

What he wants right now is for Hong Gyeong-jun not to be ruined by the death of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

‘That’s just one thing.’

And it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. What could be more difficult than overturning that damn way of thinking?

Sighing again, Lee Jae-heon imitated Hong Gyeong-jun’s likely gunner.

“Thank you for your effort.”

Looking back on the faces of my past life.
