Episode 507
Unlike the previous episode, Lee Jae-heon’s crazy news came suddenly.
“Whoa...”
Jeong In-ho felt dizzy for no reason and touched his forehead. Since I left the group and answered the phone, there were no other people around.
Jeong In-ho, who was looking at the park’s unique dense trees, asked while relieving his frustration.
“...Was the manager crazy even before the return?”
The current Lee Jae-heon was unable to even establish ‘Lee Jae-heon’, let alone the settings he had built up, but fortunately, the fact that he was a regressor was not discovered by the survivors.
-I’m not sure about that.
“Well, it would be even stranger if the detective knew about it.”
The survivors this time were scattered. Because the information was collected and delivered centered around Hong Gyeong-jun, who could receive it, if Hong Gyeong-jun blocked some of the information in the middle, other survivors had no way of knowing.
Suddenly, Jeong In-ho had an idea.
‘...Was this the reason why Hong Gyeong-jun was strangely stuttering in the last episode while conveying the situation at the aquarium over there? ‘Is it because Lee Jae-heon is crazy like this and you’re reluctant to let me know?’
Previously, Hong Gyeong-jun hid the existence of Jeong Eun-woo, Jeong In-ho’s uncle and the party’s chief of staff. Jeong In-ho knew that Hong Gyeong-jun was hiding something, but he didn’t bother to ask because he thought he could go to the aquarium and check.
“....”
―What are you thinking?
“I was thinking about Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s cooperation.”
-I am very cooperative.
“Isn’t self-objectification also a virtue of a good detective?”
In addition to the great and deep distrust that exists between the two, there were other reasons why the ‘Lee Jae-heon return theory’ did not even appear.
In the last episode, Hong Gyeong-jun did not call Lee Jae-heon often, and because of that, Lee Jae-heon’s team’s information update speed was slow. Naturally, neither Jeong In-ho nor Ha Seong-yoon had heard much information about Lee Jae-heon.
Even Song In-myeong could not meet Lee Jae-heon in the previous episode, so it was difficult for the current returnees to notice Lee Jae-heon’s abnormality.
-Why are you suddenly fighting?
“In the last episode, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun didn’t tell me the news that the manager was crazy. “Is it really right for there to be this much lack of trust between us?”
―...Isn’t there a reason why I didn’t tell you?
“Who on earth did you learn this shamelessness from?”
-There is a ghost that seems to be possessed by Lee Jae-heon.
“Oh please....”
Please don’t do this.
‘Does it make sense to involve a police officer who is already dead in an already troublesome situation?’
I wanted to beg with both hands. I don’t know who he will be pleading to, but Jeong In-ho was heartbroken. I was going to get down on my knees and beg for someone to fix this damn situation.
After all, this incident was really serious.
―Are you okay?
“Are you okay? “I heard you’ve always been an anxious person, but now you have a personality problem?”
-Why are you angry at me?
“I’m sorry about that, but I also have a lot to say.”
I was so upset that I wanted to grab someone and get angry.
Lee Jae-heon, who doesn’t even know who he is, is at a loss, but doesn’t it seem like he has somehow become one with the ghost police officer who always wanders around him?
“How on earth should you have managed the gunners to end up in a situation like this...!”
―Do I manage the gunners...? I am? Me, a junior? That human? The person that even the Commissioner couldn’t stop?
“Ah, you really are a person who gets more frustrated the more you listen to him.”
―Only we can criticize our team’s trash. Jeong In-ho, please shut up.
“Hong Gyeong-jun, would you please just shut up?”
Although not a single tear came out, Jeong In-ho felt like crying a little.
“How on earth do we handle this situation?”
―....
“Just don’t shut up in times like this. No, what is ‘this situation’ in the first place? “We desperately need someone who can present a PPT clearly explaining why this happened.”
―Not all people in the world are as competent as Ohseong employees.
“Not all Ohseong employees are competent, but anyway, don’t you understand what I meant? “Do you have anything to say about how this shitty situation came about?”
If you block the information in the middle like in the last episode, I won’t let you go.
No matter how you think about it, Kim Ki-jeong, the monster detector, was a much-needed talent, so after discussing it with Hong Gyeong-jun, Jeong In-ho decided to join him on the way to the aquarium.
I had to turn around a bit to join Kim Ki-jeong and Do-yoon Han, but it was better than just waiting for them to come to the park.
“Ha...”
Jeong In-ho muttered as he touched his feverish cell phone.
“...It’s hard to make a living.”
It took exactly 3 seconds to realize that his speaking habits were very similar to Lee Jae-heon.
There was a silent clamor in the park for a while.
* * *
A cafe between the ‘Amazon of the World’ and the ‘Sea Treasure Museum’.
“Tell me honestly.”
Park Da-young, sitting in a chair, asked.
“Who are you. What did you do. “You’re not Song In-myeong.”
“Child, why do you say that? “I am so, so sad.”
“Please don’t do this.”
Park Da-young and Park Da-hoon turned white.
“This is my first time seeing a person so cooperative and scary...”
Just as Park Da-hoon muttered, Song In-myeong was strangely cooperative with the children.
In ‘Friends by the Stream’, he himself took the initiative to move his team members as if it were natural without anyone fussing, in the feeding experience corner, he cleared a path first to avoid attracting the monster’s attention, and in ‘Amazon of the World’, he acted as a guard to prevent other monsters from approaching. took charge of it until
Thanks to this, they were approaching the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’ in less than a few hours.
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
The students thought that it was reasonable for us to be afraid of Song In-myeong at this level.
“Just like a puppy that got into an accident and tails its owner while watching... just like that...”
“Hmm, it’s too much for a provocation? “It’s so gentle, isn’t it?”
“Look at this reaction. “You weren’t this kind of person.”
Song In-myeong, who, no matter how hard I try to be sarcastic, brushes it off as if he’s cute.
At first, she wondered what effect being bitten by the monster living in ‘Friends by the Stream’ had, but now Park Da-young can be sure.
Park Da-young asked, holding tightly the glass of the strange drink that Song In-myeong had received.
“...You regressed?”
“Oh, you shouldn’t ask that. “You must be very tired.”
“....”
“If I didn’t know, you would have made a mistake.”
Dayoung Park was disgusted and bit herself.
“Hmm, fuck...”
It sounded like a threat at first glance, but Park Da-young knew. Now, Song In-myeong was giving advice and kindly informing Park Da-young of her mistake.
What did this bastard do in the last episode to be fawned over like this?
“....”
Damn it’s obvious.
‘They probably noticed the regression and killed us first.’
Dayoung Park asked with dead eyes.
“So... did you let them go without pain?”
“what...? “They are going to search for it and frame me for it?”
“Don’t begrudge me.”
“Wow....”
I had tried blaming others, but it was the first time in my life that I had been framed by someone else. It was not a political accusation, but a false accusation with pure intentions.
It was very impressive.
“This is such an injustice.”
In this way, Song In-myeong accumulated another life experience.
