Chapter 367

Episode 367

Jeong In-ho told Hong Gyeong-jun the truth.

Everyone has come this far without knowing anything about how this world works, who died, how many times, and the terrible things that happened. We are in the process of repeating death and rebirth and continuously creating new cases.

“Do you understand up to this point?”

“....”

Fortunately, Hong Gyeong-jun did not treat Jeong In-ho’s absurd explanation as nonsense. Considering how much Hong Gyeong-jun distrusts Jeong In-ho, it was quite surprising.

“...yes.”

“is it so.”

“understand.”

“....”

“No one will die.”

Jeong In-ho thought Hong Gyeong-jun was crazy.

“Failure has become a thing of the past and only success remains...”

“...Is that so?”

“Yes. “There will always be a winner.”

“I never thought of this as a victory.”

“I apologize if this was a hasty assessment. But I just...”

“Just?”

“...well.”

Hong Gyeong-jun was smiling.

Even though I clumsily covered my mouth with one hand, the intense joy inside was clearly visible.

“feels good.”

It really seemed that way.

“I don’t think I should like it, but I like it....”

“....”

“I like it so much.”

Jeong In-ho blinked slowly at the soft tone of voice he did not usually use.

“...aha.”

It wasn’t an exclamation, a sarcasm, or anything else.

“You crazy bastard.”

I just wanted to swear a little.

Jeong In-ho felt his dazed brain gradually waking up from its sleep. Perhaps Jeong In-ho’s spirit may have been coming back to its rightful place a long time ago. It’s just that I was so intoxicated by the dreaminess that I wanted to do even a little more of that stupid thing. Inho Jeong assessed his condition that way.

As proof, Jung In-ho’s smile was quite neat right now.

“I’m almost jealous.”

Jeong In-ho felt like he wanted to keep the crazy guy in front of him alive until the end.

I wonder how this bastard will share my burden.

“―Mr. Inho!”

Jump up!

Garam Yoon opened the purple door.

“Detective, are you okay?!”

“Everyone, come out quickly! “Oh my god, look at all the injuries...!”

Do-yoon Han and Garam Yoon approached Jeong In-ho and Hong Gyeong-jun, who had just escaped from the trap. Inside the room in the picture, it had been exposed to fire for quite a long time, so it looked scorched and reddened here and there.

And Hong Gyeong-jun, seeing them like that, blinked and asked.

“...why?”

Why are they like this?

Do-yoon Han was carrying Kim Ki-jeong on his side, and Garam Yoon was carrying Woo Woo-young on his shoulder. Just like inside the trap, the burning 1201 was embarrassing, but the unexpected and funny appearance of his colleagues stimulated Hong Gyeong-jun’s lungs. An ambiguous laugh came out.

“Why are you carrying it like that?”

“Oh, if you get burned, it’s a big problem.”

“Mr. Garam Yoon was not affected by the fire, so even if that were the case, Mr. Han Do-yoon...”

“Because I am a firefighter.”

“It probably doesn’t have much to do with that.”

‘...Did I see it wrong?’

When Yoon Garam paused for a moment, she rolled her eyes as if she had imagined all her colleagues burning to death. The eyes, which were bright yellow like green dandelions, gave a feeling of strange repulsion rather than freshness. His intuition rang a weak alarm.

I’ve felt it before, but is it possible that Garam Yoon....

“Mr. Garam?”

“Oh yes Jooyoung.”

“Are you okay now?”

“It’s okay, um, thank you for your concern.”

“No, it’s just...”

It felt like I could hear a push-like sound of the wind falling.

In an instant, Hong Gyeong-jun looked at Woo Woo-young as Yoon Gar-ram’s eyes regained their original calm light and smiled shyly. She was looking around at Yoon Garam with a perplexed expression, as if she felt the same danger as Hong Gyeongjun, but the moment Woo Joo Young called Yoon Garam, the danger disappeared.

“....”

Hong Gyeong-jun thought.

“...You two will continue to travel together from now on.”

Those two are a set.

“yes yes?”

“It was originally planned to be like that.”

“Yes, I’m glad.”

I didn’t want to doubt my colleagues again like I did at the park. I didn’t even want to suppress it. Just a moment ago, Hong Gyeong-jun even scolded Jeong In-ho in the world of paintings. He was also not in good condition, so if there was a talent who could bring a dangerous molecule like Yoon Garam up to a safe level, it was right to utilize him.

Jeong In-ho must have been thinking the same thing as Hong Gyeong-jun, as he was looking at the two women with a similar expression.

“....”

“....”

At that moment, Hong Gyeong-jun and Jeong In-ho made eye contact and frowned at the same time. They turned their heads back to the front as if they didn’t want to see each other’s faces, but only the two of them knew that to others, their behavior was exactly the same.

Jeong In-ho, feeling Kim Ki-jeong’s strange gaze, asked.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“...I guess you two have become close friends.”

“What did you say now?”

“...I made a mistake. “I’ll cancel.”

“It’s not that I’m angry, it’s just that it’s a little difficult to understand...”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Ignoring Jung In-ho’s nonsense and Hong Gyeong-jun’s stinging gaze, Kim Ki-jeong grumbled inwardly. These young elementary school kids. They seemed to be the only ones unaware that the distance between them had narrowed considerably, unlike before.

Of course, Kim Ki-jeong was not a kind enough person to convince me of that fact. He got away from this ridiculous topic and got back to the point.

“So... are you killing monsters? how?”

“Do you pour water on the radish?”

“We don’t have enough water to stop our breathing. Even in this shitty bathroom, there’s no water, firefighter.”

“Even if you look at me like that...”

Do-yoon Han was crushed by Kim Ki-jeong’s salty gaze.

“Even if I were to go out to the field, I had the equipment. Of course, I learned what to do in case there is no equipment, but it is difficult to put out a fire of this size without water or sand... I am much more accustomed to getting people out before the fire is out rather than putting out the fire and saving people....” “That...

” “I guess so.”

“Usually in apartments, especially in well-built apartments like this one, there are things that can be used in case of fire... You know the water cannons that firefighters use. There is such a thing. We can’t even go out the front door right now. “It is difficult to put out the fire itself.”

Yoon Garam intervened in Han Do-yoon’s words.

“There’s one more.”

“What? What...”

“One more thing besides water or sand.”

“....”

Do-yoon Han gaped at that.

“...no way?”

“yes.”

Garam Yoon said with a smile.

“Let’s go for a counter strategy.”

A face that looks happy.

It was a bright smile, a little different from Ha Seong-yoon’s.
