Episode 387
Kim Ki-jeong stuttered as if he couldn’t believe it.
“No why no why the photo... no why....”
“Calm down.”
“Is this something to calm down about...?”
Kim Ki-jeong, who had turned white, had no trace of odor in his voice, as if even his voice had been discolored.
“Why is there a picture like that in the grade room?”
It was the reaction of someone who had forgotten all about the previous episode and found out for the first time what a jerk the art teacher was.
In response to that valid question, Hong Gyeong-jun nodded his head kindly.
“It looks like the art teacher killed someone.”
“Why is he a teacher...?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be soon.”
When I return to reality, I will first become an art teacher.
It was Hong Gyeong-jun who had already acquired all the information from the previous episode from Jung In-ho. Hong Gyeong-jun, who knew what kind of perverted thoughts the art teacher at Eonhak High School had covered this school with, made a firm determination.
Jaeheon Lee nodded at that.
“If it is difficult to issue a warrant, you can tell me. “I can help you with that.”
“Oh... Royal Family....”
“If you have a strong back, it might be a bit of a pain, but I don’t know. “There is no one in the world who hates money.”
“ah.”
Han Do-yoon nodded.
“I like you too, Don.”
“I like it too.”
“Are you Jaeheon Lee?”
“Ever since I was young, my dream was to become rich and famous.”
“Hasn’t that already been achieved...?”
“Richness and fame? This party group is not mine. “I am just a manager at a large company with no money or fame.”
“Is it so hard to say that that large company is nothing more than a five-star company?”
After a comical talk full of nonsense to relieve Kim Ki-jeong’s tension, he returned from a cat with a split tail to a skinny toothpick. Do-yoon Han and Jae-heon Lee quietly high-fived in the blind spot.
Kim Ki-jeong said, “It’s not that much peace of mind, but I have regained at least some stability.”
“...Did the art teacher at Unhak High School really... do something like that?”
“I can’t say for sure because I haven’t verified it in reality, but even if I didn’t actually do something like that, the fact that I had this kind of thought itself is a big problem. “Even if he didn’t kill anyone, it looks like he plans to do so soon.”
“I really hate this place...”
The puzzle they checked in the grade room in Building B was no different from the one they encountered in the previous episode. The format was to get a key by guessing the name of the plaster statues lined up on the desk.
‘Of course it’s fake.’
The real key that Jaeheon Lee confirmed in his lucid dream came from the grade room in Building A on the 3rd floor. There was no guarantee that it would be exactly the same as before, but it was true that there was a high probability that the key there was real.
And Jaeheon Lee was on standby on the third floor.
‘I thought all I had to do was avoid Song In-myeong and the swimming pool, you bastards. ‘That’s why you’re called chicks.’
The puzzle in the grade room where the real key appeared was more difficult. Although the solution process itself is the same, the risk of the monster that pops out is different. Lee Jae-heon had no intention of leaving foolish chicks in that dangerous place, and perhaps because of Song In-myeong and the difficulty of the swimming pool, he was able to join the third floor standby group without difficulty. It was a satisfactory result.
The survivors were shocked by the news brought by the grade room investigation team, who thought they were simply looking for clues. In particular, Seong Ji-ho, who knew a little about the art teacher’s perversions, added this.
“Aaaah... ahhh....”
“Student Jiho Seong...?”
“I’m going to transfer schools... I’m going to drop out...”
Jaeheon Lee asked.
“Can you move the house?”
“...? yes?”
“? No, if you want to transfer schools, you have to move house first....”
“...?”
“??”
Lee Jae-heon blinked a few times and asked Jeong In-ho.
“Can I change schools without moving house?”
“Don’t think that every family is overflowing with money.”
“uh? I’m not saying it’s about money, but about regulations... Oh no, and if you just move to a house with a similar monthly rent...” ”
There’s no law that says you have to move houses to change schools. Moving itself is quite expensive, and finding a home with the same conditions at a similar monthly rent is not that easy. “I guess the manager has never moved before.”
“...I didn’t do it.”
“Aha...”
In his previous life, he only lived in a dormitory and then moved into a house supported by the government. In his current life, Lee Jae-heon was an old man who passed on all the annoying tasks to his subordinates. Manager Lee Jae-heon, who even hired people to clean his house, couldn’t have been walking around counting money just because he was moving.
“No ha... it’s okay.”
“As expected, the 3rd floor might have been too much...”
...did the water rise too high?
* * *
From the results, it was correct that the key to the grade room in Building A on the 3rd floor was real.
“Boss...!”
“No one died, right?”
“Is that right what someone with half their head blown off would say?”
“You’re not dead...”
And Jaeheon Lee was nagging. This was because the head was split.
You might say this sounds strange, but it was a literal situation. Lee Jae-heon, who had been hit on the head on his way out of the grade room, came out and inspected his bleeding head by pressing it several times and calmly said, ‘Oh, it’s broken.’
“I recovered somewhat.”
“If this can be called recovery....”
“I said it was just a crack in the bone, you people.”
“Can you please stop talking?”
Woo Woo-young muttered as if he couldn’t believe this situation itself.
“Do you have to say something like that even though you’re covered in blood?”
“Team Leader Woo, I’m very comfortable now, right?”
“It’s a bit like that, I guess. “It’s like looking at tattered zombies that don’t kill people.”
“Isn’t that just as scary?”
“It really makes me feel ambivalent.”
For reference, Lee Jae-heon’s head was broken while trying to protect Woo Woo-young.
She was seriously considering the ‘Lee Jae-heon amulet theory’. Vivian was not much different, and if Yeonhee Kwon had known, she would have reacted similarly. Hong Gyeong-jun was covering his eyes with his hands as if he thought the situation was absurd.
Jeong In-ho smiled sadly and opened his mouth.
“I can’t say anything about someone getting hurt while trying to save someone...”
The puzzles in the grade room in Building A on the 3rd floor were the same as the ones in other grade rooms, but from the moment the plaster statues whose names were guessed correctly turned into plaster statues from the other world wearing wigs, monsters began to appear. It started to move. He attacked the victim even before he could break the plaster statue with the same head shape as the victim in the photo and take out the key.
The survivors, who had become accustomed to the pattern of monsters attacking them after going through the first and second floor grade rooms and taking out the keys, were taken aback. He somehow managed to get the key out, but Woo Joo-young tripped and fell, and Lee Jae-heon’s head exploded as he tried to cover her. It was no wonder Woo Joo-young turned as white as paper.
Therefore, Lee Jae-heon was honest.
“Then what are you saying with me in the middle?”
Are these the kind of things you would say to your lifesaver?
Locked in the school bathroom and surrounded by survivors, I felt like a weak student being threatened by bullies. Lee Jae-heon, who had always been a perpetrator but rarely a victim, felt very burdened by the current situation. I don’t know everything and I hope you turn it off.
“You think I’m nagging again.”
“...Anyway, it was cured with medicine, so it’s okay...”
“If everything was cured with medicine, you wouldn’t say things like this.”
As the survivors said, the head wasn’t really blown off, just some skin was torn and the skull was cracked. Seeing that I had no problem thinking, there was no problem with my brain. All other wounds were treated with medicine from the survival kit, so I wondered how serious they were.
Song In-myeong said with a smile.
“My eye burst, but you’re saying I’m okay?”
“You’re having fun with this situation.”
“Oh, it’s kind of fun. “It’s an amazing sight.”
“It’s so nice to see so much laughter, you bastard.”
Of course, one eye was blown out, but the other eye was alive. Although his sense of distance may have become a little dull, it was not a problem for Lee Jae-heon, who had had his eyes exploded several times in his past life. The biggest problem for him was the survivors who became serious after only one eye.
Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment and said.
“...Of course, it won’t look very good, but....”
“That’s it, Manager.”
“Do you hate seeing it that much?”
“I don’t know where to start to refute, so please stop...”
As Woo Joo-young started crying, Yoon Gar-ram patted her on the back.
“You went too far in this case.”
“sorry.”
“I’m a little angry because the topic of apology seems to be different from ours...”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to cover your eyes?”
“mister.”
“I’ll shut up.”
Jaeheon Lee made a promise.
It has to be crooked.
