Chapter 482

Episode 482

Jeong Eun-woo was a person who never questioned things.

It’s not conscious. There was little curiosity in his nature. There were questions about the reasoning that any human being would naturally have to make, or the question of what superiors would think so as not to interfere with work, but other than that, I didn’t bother to wonder if it wasn’t necessary.

Jaeheon Lee’s situation is similar. Although there were questions about ‘how’ he had the skills to beat a Majang-dong businessman, he did not wonder ‘why’ he was so crazy.

There was a big difference between being curious about the principles of behavior and being curious about a person’s past.

“....”

However, after coming to this deep blue place called the underworld, Eunwoo Jeong’s doubts increased.

“Can I ask about your past, Manager?”

It felt like a part of my brain that wasn’t being used had awakened from sleep.

It was a clumsy question for Jeong Eun-woo because his skills were still inexperienced, but Lee Jae-heon did not find Jeong Eun-woo strange or troublesome.

He organized it in an easy-to-understand manner for Jeong Eun-woo.

“...You seem to be curious as to why I was so good at killing people on the boat that day and why I don’t dwell on killing and dying. How long have I known about this world and how much does that have to do with me going crazy like this?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I will let you know.”

Lee Jae-heon’s face, smiling like that, was dry and cool.

“Not now.”

It was clearly the laugh of someone who excluded Jung Eun-woo.

“understand.”

Eunwoo Jeong lied.

Actually, I didn’t understand. I don’t know if it’s ‘exclusion’, but it’s ‘exclusion’.

It seemed that Lee Jae-heon was not bitten because he rejected a person named Jeong Eun-woo. It just seemed like they were really going to tell me later rather than now.

‘When will that later be?’

It seemed as if the entire situation and future were already in Lee Jae-heon’s mind. He was certain of the ‘later’ that Jung Eun-woo did not know.

“....”

Jung Eun-woo couldn’t define what he was feeling right now.

Even whether you like it or not.

But it also seemed strange.

“...Then what should we do this time?”

“Let’s go to the third room first. The only thing I have in the kitchen is a knife, but it doesn’t even cut, and if I stab it, it explodes. “It would be wise to go to the document warehouse where there was at least some color connection.”

Lee Jae-heon’s face was cold and shiny, as if it were made of silver. In contrast to his rugged appearance, his cool, reptile-like face showed that he was a very calculating person and that he was treating Jung Eun-woo as a tool or a pawn.

‘I guess this is because I’m from this party, after all.’

He was equally cruel even to himself, and Lee Dang’s unique cold-bloodedness seemed to be going nowhere.

“Can I hold the door again this time?”

“Yes stay outside. “If you don’t know, don’t even put your hand in it.”

“All right.”

Amazing person.

Until now, Jaeheon Lee had been busy getting hurt by only himself. This is because the manpower named Eunwoo Jeong must be intact and there is no problem even if he is wasted.

It was too cold to be a sacrifice and too dull to be considered efficiency.

“...Since they have mouths and teeth, I think it would be okay to feed them...”

He was seen saying that and holding out a red ball for the red ball to eat.

“....”

Actually, it’s cold and squishy. Even this sentiment was unfamiliar to Jeong Eun-woo. And all of these unfamiliar impressions made him curious about the person named Lee Jae-heon.

Since Jung Eun-woo is not a machine, he was naturally able to make visual inferences. I knew what was right and wrong and who did poorly and who did well. There was also a common sense that shook one’s head when one saw the evils that deviated from social ethics. However, Lee Jae-heon was a very difficult person to define.

‘The karma of Lee Dang, who went crazy due to bullying.’

This was the definition given by the secretary of this party chairman.

‘A murderer with strong immunity to death, both self and others.’

This is a definition given by a crazy person with ties to the industry.

‘A survivor who has adapted to the world of monsters.’

This is the definition given by Jeong Eun-woo, a human who has only seen Jae-heon Lee a few times.

And...

“Ah.”

“...What’s going on?”

“Well, if it weren’t for Jeong In-ho, there would be no one to say such things to.”

“You know me well.”

“People like you rarely have people who care.”

Lee Jae-heon, covered in black water, smiled and headed to the document warehouse. Black water droplets dotted under his feet, but those that hit the floor soon turned transparent and disappeared.

Suddenly, Jeong Eun-woo realized that even if Lee Jae-heon ran away right now, he wouldn’t be able to catch him.

Jeong Eun-woo himself did not know why he felt that intuition.

“If you wait, I will bring the red monster out soon.”

Jaeheon Lee was smiling.

A dark, clean, dry smile. It seemed no different from the polite smile that Jung Eun-woo was wearing.

Suddenly, Jeong Eun-woo realized that Lee Jae-heon was in a much more raw state today than when he first saw him.

Is he worn out? Perhaps the dead people he saw in the black water may have been tormenting Lee Jae-heon. That’s why it was cut down like that.

“Please be careful.”

“thank you.”

The meaningless conversation was short, and Lee Jae-heon quickly came out dragging the red monster. In the meantime, Lee Jae-heon’s hands were soaked with blood, as if he had been bitten again.

The black water mixed with blood did not become transparent even when it fell on the floor.

“Now I guess I just have to go to the kitchen and get it cleaned up.”

“It looks like you’ll have a hard time lifting the monsters, so I’ll take care of them.”

“No, I will listen.”

“....”

Jung Eun-woo said after a moment of thought.

“That doesn’t feel like a particularly efficient division of labor.”

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of entrusting the work to Jeong Eun-woo.”

The bright smile on his face as he said that was a bit obnoxious, so I was surprised at myself for feeling that way. As expected, this world seemed to make Jung Eun-woo’s emotions richer.

Lee Jae-heon held the monsters in his arms one by one, leaving Jeong Eun-woo standing blankly.

“Didn’t you keep saying it?”

Even though the monster bit Lee Jae-heon and pushed him, he looked very injured.

“Jung Eun-woo must be intact.”

“Because I have to help a student named Park Da-young?”

“That’s all I can do.”

“Boss.”

I don’t know why I thought that way.

“Are you going to die?”

I don’t even know why he said that, but Jaeheon Lee just burst out in admiration.

“Oh, you’re also capable.”

“How are you going to die?”

“I don’t know that.”

“....”

It was really funny and disgusting.

Eun-woo Jeong realized that he, too, was dead in Jae-heon Lee’s mind.

‘I don’t know if he’s planning to kill me himself or if he knows he’s going to kill me...’

Otherwise, there was no reason for that friendly monster to exclude me like this.

“Mom.”

Kwon Yeon-hee, who was fishing in the lake, cried out to her mother.

“who are you?”

“Hey, I, I... who...?”

“You mean you’ll meet a survivor here?”

“Wait a minute, who are you really...?”

“Would you like to eat fish with me? I’m cooking amazing fish again.”

“yes?”

“Ah, don’t go. I’m not a strange person.”

Kwon Yeon-hee meets doctor Seo In-young in a foreign country.
