Episode 441
A 19-year-old impoverished survivor whose immediate survival is urgent. There is no room for the protagonist to properly understand the rules. If it was essential for survival, there were cases where it was difficult to figure it out, but most of the time, all you had to do was check it roughly and survive.
Jaeheon Lee’s knowledge of the ‘exhibition’ conditions of the last theme zone was based on a guess based on the original work, but it was by no means certain. Even if I were to experience it myself, I’m not sure I would know it accurately.
‘Once the limbs fly off, it is certain that they will return more than 10 times.’
It’s a tropical rainforest area that looks fine now, but once you get to the other side, it will turn into a wild place with aquariums, bridges, and other things. It’s also full of monsters. It was even more difficult to come out with all limbs intact.
He smiled warmly.
“Why are you smiling, uncle?”
“Because it feels so good.”
“Why do you like it?”
“It’s all because our Seo-ah is cute.”
“I’m cute.”
“You speak well.”
Lee Jae-heon left the ‘tropical Amazon’ straight away with Seo-ah in hand. The next theme zone was ‘Sea Treasure Hall’.
The ‘Sea Treasure Hall’ took the form of a commonly known aquarium. Colorful-looking fish swam inside a large tank that took up most of one wall. Corals of various colors and sizes were scattered here and there, and seaweed and rock walls could also be found.
“The lighting is pretty dark here.”
“Do fish like the dark?”
There were many small fish, but in general, there were many large fish. The fish illuminated in dark, blue lighting had the power to steal people’s attention.
“There’s a treasure chest.”
“...Oh, I see. “There is a treasure chest.”
“It’s a decoration, right?”
“maybe.”
For a fake, the box is made of old wood and has a thick broken lock. The sparkling gold and jewels inside looked quite attractive and attracted the eyes of passers-by. There were treasure chests that had not been opened at all, and child visitors were looking at them with curious eyes.
Jang Seo-ah, a child who had lost all sense of innocence due to her harsh life, seemed to have realized that the treasure box inside the tank was a decoration, but most of the child visitors were busy whispering. It seems that the treasure chest was of fairly good quality and was enough to make it look real to young children.
There were also sharks in the large tank.
“shark.”
“It’s a shark.”
“Shark...”
Han Do-yoon’s voice was heard as he came all the way to where the high school students were gathered.
“If this window breaks, will we all be eaten?”
“Mr. Han Do-yoon.”
“Oh, Jaeheon Lee.”
“Shut up.”
“yes?”
“...Isn’t it possible for children to be scared?”
“Oh, I see.”
While the kids were sleeping, I heard the difficulty of the secret world increasing in real time, so I tried to tackle it.
‘It won’t be possible to stop just one Do-yoon Han.’
A hollow laugh came out again. Han Do-yoon was not the only one who thought this, and young voices were heard here and there asking, ‘What if they break through and attack us?’ Children’s imagination is excellent. The guardians who looked like parents were reassuring me that this would never happen, but the glancing glances were unusual.
If I had to be specific, it seemed like a ‘Oh, no way’ kind of view, but if you go into the other side of the world, the story changes.
It’s broken and broken. It actually breaks.
‘...Sometimes I have to break it.’
As long as you are careful in the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’ of the other side of the world, you can move on to the next theme zone without any problems. The problem was that the ‘exhibition’ started in the next area after passing the undersea tunnel, and in order to rescue your colleagues from the ‘exhibition’, you had to open the treasure chest inside this water tank.
‘Because there is a key inside it that can free the one on display.’
Of course, I don’t know where the key is among the numerous treasure chests inside the aquarium that stretch like walls on both sides. hint? There is no such thing. The main character of the original was lucky and opened the box containing the key at the perfect timing, but I’m not sure if that luck applies to them now.
Plus sharks? Of course, there are times too. The best way is to find the employees’ wetsuits and go inside the water tank, but in the original, they ultimately failed and just broke the water tank to open the box. The main character who caused damage to other people’s private property was judged to have violated the ‘rules’ and became food for the final theme zone.
Here, ‘being fed’ was a little different from being ‘exhibited’. While the latter is treated like fish raised in an aquarium, the former is food given to those fish, so in a way, it was natural.
‘But being prey doesn’t mean you die 100%, and you can return to reality alive as long as you hold on until the other survivors kill the final boss... If you just calculate the movement, it’s the fastest way. I thought the loss would be much greater in the process of obtaining certification for the underworld in order to wear a diving suit...’
Next came the undersea tunnel.
“Oh man. “Please drop me off.”
“There are other people too, so don’t run.”
“Sexual harassment.”
“Could you please stop expressing my love with such vulgar words?”
“It’s sexual harassment, so get off your hands.”
“Just one hour....”
“Take it off, you pervert.”
I fumbled and removed the hand that was touching my stomach with the hand that was not holding the steering wheel. Jaeheon Lee wasn’t angry. This pervert was a crazy bastard who had masochistic tendencies and the more he got angry, the more excited he got. I had no intention of satisfying the sexual harasser’s fantasy while wasting my mental energy.
Lee Jae-heon drove the car while shaking off the pervert’s grip all the way home, and by the time he parked at the officetel, he had already given up. Yeah, he was like this.
“You... you’re not doing that with someone else’s body...”
“Don’t worry. “In terms of salary, even if I do my work, the manager will be the one who gets caught.”
“So stop touching me. Stop touching me. “Did you put honey on it?”
Lee Jae-heon gritted his teeth and shook off the possessor’s hand in response to his obsession with sexual crimes, which was intensely revealed even through the body of a civilian woman. You criminal bastard. Even when we were working together, there were more than a couple of times that I personally handcuffed my hands and locked him up.
But what on earth was the possessed person thinking? His eyes sparkled.
“Can I really apply honey?”
“Please tell me you didn’t ask because you thought it would work.”
“I’ll just lick it once. “It’s going to be so fucking sweet.”
“Please stop.”
My soul as a married man cried out in pain. Of course, even if he wasn’t a married man, it would have been just as painful. I couldn’t even push it away too hard for fear of leaving bruises, but only the possessed person was able to get a look.
Both of them were physically much weaker than their previous lives, and as this was their first time greeting each other privately rather than publicly, the environment was different from their previous lives in many ways.
Lee Jae-heon was still, recalling his past life, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine, and he asked.
“...You’ve probably done something to my body, right?”
“....”
“Answer me. “Because I’m scared to answer.”
“...Hehehe....”
The possessed person answered, wiping his nose.
“Do not worry. “I am not the kind of pervert who does harsh things to others without their consent.”
“But you’re not a lady either. “Just now, you were massaging my stomach with my consent?”
“Last time I saw you, my nieces and nephews were also being naughty, so why are you being so mean to me?!”
“I saw that again. Are you the same as my nephew? “You pervert, are you the same as those of us who have seen everything there is to see and things to see, and those kids who don’t even know what ‘what you can’t see’ is?”
“I know everything kids these days know!”
“What on earth does that have to do with sexually harassing me...! Tell me straight, you didn’t touch my dead body?! Why do you make it sound like you saw the body in the first place? “My body is supposed to be in my own home?!”
“You look quite sexy sleeping while bleeding!”
“Why is a home invasion criminal so confident?!”
The possessed person let out a long sigh and then finally vomited out the truth.
“Actually, I tried to do something...”
“What is the conclusion?”
“It was here before I even touched it.”
“It sounds like you know how it came about.”
“What, you don’t remember that either?”
The possessed person widened his eyes as if he was somewhat surprised.
“The captain’s body was resting his hand on the book. Why is there a book written by your wife?”
“....”
“I ended up here trying to do something with the body.”
She rolled her eyes round.
“How are you?”
“...at all.”
I really wasn’t happy at all.
It was nice to have someone who could provide useful information after a long time.
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Use it.”
