Chapter 504

Episode 504

The man who was standing blankly thought about it later.

‘...what was my name?’

First of all, I’m sure it’s not ‘Lee Jae-heon’, but that doesn’t mean I can’t remember his original name.

Wait a minute, ‘originally’? The man unconsciously acknowledged that he was ‘Manager Lee Jae-heon.’ So, am I Lee Jae-heon? Following the steady stream of thoughts, I lowered my gaze and looked at my hands.

“....”

The bones are thick and

have almost no calluses.

There are only a few small scars.

“Uh...”

Yes, there is a scar.

A body completely different from the one I remember. Skeleton traces.

I can’t believe that I have a defect in myself, who has such tenacious regenerative power that even the superiors admit it. It was ridiculous. It shouldn’t have happened, but why are these marks left on my hands?

The man realized that I was holding a kitchen knife in my other hand.

“what is the problem?”

He muttered softly and plunged the knife into his arm.

Deep sleep!

“Why suddenly....”

“Manager.”

“I don’t know what’s going on.”

No matter how I tried, the arm showed no signs of regeneration. You may have been poisoned by some type of poison that prevents regeneration. What on earth is wrong with my body?

“Director Jaeheon Lee.”

“ah.”

Only then do you realize it.

“...I was Lee Jae-heon.”

This is the body of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

Jaeheon Lee. A third-rate villain in a novel written by his wife.

In the original story, a high school brother and sister are used as bait at a hospital, but they end up dying horrible deaths. There is no way such a person would have the ability to regenerate.

“....”

...No, wait a minute. How do you know this? Has he ever written a novel? No, I was a police officer. We had the same body back then. No, I am not...

“....”

“....”

I took a deep breath and forced my pounding heart to calm down.

When I pulled out the knife stuck in my arm, blood flowed along with it. The pain was felt, but not clearly. It meant that more than just his physical condition, there was something wrong with his mind.

I looked back at the person who had called me several times as if to stop me.

“...Do you need treatment?”

“...who were you?”

“My name is Eunwoo Jeong. “I am working as Chairman Lee’s secretary.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Who was ‘Chairman Lee’?

My mind was a mess.

My name was Lee Jae-heon, I was also a police officer under another name, and I was also a villain who was hated by the main character.

Lee Jae-heon, who realized that his mind and memory were not intact, was able to get one word out after stretching out the wrinkles in his brain.

“...Sister’s....”

“Yes, Chairman Lee Jae-hee is Manager Lee Jae-heon’s older sister.”

“Huh.”

While I felt resentful for not being able to recall even a single basic memory, the person named Eun-Woo Jeong, who gave me consistent answers to such pointless questions, did not seem sane either.

He must have looked like a crazy person holding a knife and talking gibberish like this, but he kept it in tune.

‘Is he really crazy?’

Even in the midst of confusion, a part of me felt convenience. It was uncomfortable these days because chicks rarely work efficiently, but now I feel relieved.

...what?

‘No, our chicks were always good at their jobs, right?’

Why do I feel this way?

“...I am Lee Jae-heon....”

I do it because I am ‘Lee Jae-heon’, you half-poon.

I used all my strength to block the thoughts that were trying to go elsewhere.

Please don’t forget, he was Lee Jae-heon. Probably right. I can’t remember, but anyway, he is not called a poisonous snake now.

In the same sense, it doesn’t even seem to have the ability to regenerate. So what use is it to me? No, please don’t think like this. I mean, sort out the situation first.

“I?”

“Yes, Manager Lee Jae-heon.”

“....”

Anyway, it was a dungeon.

‘...Lee Jae-heon was well aware of its existence.’

At that point, what came to mind was a novel my wife had written. This body belonged to the villain in the novel, and the underworld was a type of dungeon that appeared in the novel. I roughly understood it.

However, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ should have died long ago when he had the hospital episode, so why is he still alive in the aquarium?

“....”

Oh, that wasn’t me. Now this body belongs to the reincarnated ‘Lee Jae-heon’. I had to remember that.

“What was I doing?”

“I was getting the ball from that room.”

“ball?”

“Yes, a plastic ball like this.”

As Jeong Eun-woo said that, a total of three plastic balls, orange, yellow and green, were placed at his feet.

I still couldn’t figure out the intention.

“...What can I do with that?”

“By solving a kind of puzzle including these, Manager Lee Jae-heon wanted to check a total of six rooms here and gain information about this aquarium.”

“aha.”

“...don’t you remember anything?”

“That’s not true.”

The man continued speaking with an expressionless expression.

“I think I forgot a lot.”

In fact, even this could not be considered entirely correct.

Rather than saying that it was completely forgotten, it would be more accurate to say that it was damaged to the point where it was unrecognizable.

He could remember that he knew something, but he couldn’t organize his thoughts and get them out. It’s as if the paints were mixed together and couldn’t be separated...

“...Did you say you brought the ball from that room?”

When the man pointed to the door where the pool was, Eunwoo Jeong nodded. The man looked inside the door.

“What exactly should I bring?”

“It looks like you were trying to match all the colors of the rainbow. So, wouldn’t it be okay to bring red, blue, navy blue and purple balls from now on?”

“Way?”

“Once he got caught between the balls, he came out with each ball with a high probability. Director Lee Jae-heon gave me the order to ‘do nothing and maintain full strength,’ so I was waiting outside.”

“Why did I do that?”

Jung Eun-woo answered the man’s question obediently this time.

“I think he wanted me to protect the students he cared about when they arrived here.”

“...I wonder why you asked Eunwoo Jeong to protect you instead of me, but no, I understand. If my condition worsens and I turn into an enemy that is difficult to deal with, Eunwoo Jeong would have to protect the students from me. I know. Now I understand. “Am I right?”

“I think that was probably the case.”

“Yeah, I heard you’re right....”

Lee Jae-heon muttered like that and was confident in his heart.

‘Ah, I guess Lee Jae-heon was right too.’

‘Lee Jae-heon”s request to Jeong Eun-woo was clearly his own way.

In other words, even though his memories were mixed up and his identity was confused, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ was indeed him. Even though I don’t know what exactly happened that made him become ‘Lee Jae-heon’, the old man’s manager.

And that was enough.

“...If what I did was right, that’s fine.”

There must be a reason for everything.

There must be a reason why he directly consumed me, rather than a normal subordinate, and wanted to protect ‘students’ whose faces I can’t even remember right now. Everything he did had meaning and value.

So it will be like that this time too.

“Here... they tried to open these rooms. I.”

“Yes, more specifically, you wanted information to help you attack this aquarium.”

“Then let’s do that.”

“Can I help you? Your ankle isn’t fully healed yet and you have a new injury on your arm, so it might be hard to move, so if you don’t mind...” “No.

”

‘Lee Jae-heon’ flatly refused.

He pushed away Jeong Eun-woo, who approached him with his signature thin smile on his face.

“I will do it.”

“...Yes, Manager.”

“Please keep calling me my name.”

Because I have to remember that I am ‘Lee Jae-heon’.
