Chapter 579

Theatrical Regression Life Chapter 579

Episode 579

Fortunately, the average brain power of the current treasure chest team was not bad.

“It’s number 2.”

“It’s the 13th position on the left side of the wall on the left side of box 2.”

“Oh, I remembered.”

“It’s number 9.”

“It’s the 10th position from the left on the left wall of box 9.”

“I remembered.”

When Jeong Eun-woo said a number on the map, Kim Ki-jeong would figure out which side the sound was coming from and relay it, and Seo Jang-hwa and Do-yoon Han would take charge of remembering it.

However, it wasn’t a situation where the two of us had to remember everything alone. Jeong Eun-woo and Kim Ki-jeong also remembered rough information while talking about numbers and locations. If Seo Jang-hwa and Do-yoon Han were confused, they would correct the error.

“It’s number 19.”

“It’s location 11 on the left side of the wall on the right side of box 19.”

“I remembered.”

Kim Ki-jeong nodded at Seo Jang-hwa’s words.

“Then that’s the end.”

“Yes, that’s the end.”

“I thought so.”

“Maybe we remember something different, so let’s guess.”

“Okay, first of all, it’s the 2nd position on the left wall on the left side of box 8...”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Box 11 is the 8th position from the left on the right wall.”

“That’s right.”

“Box number 27....”

They easily figured out the number and location of the box.

“Then all that’s left now is to wait in front of the box.”

The remaining three nodded at Kim Ki-jeong’s words.

“All you have to do is wait in front of the appropriate box and open it the moment the number comes.”

“I’ll be listening too, so you don’t have to worry about opening the box by mistake.”

After a short discussion, they decided to open box 29, the 7th location on the left side of the left wall.

“The box number on the left wall appeared particularly frequently.”

“That will definitely increase the chances of opening the chest. Since it only lasts 5 seconds, you might miss it if you pay attention for a moment...”

“If Jeong Eun-woo misses the box like that, Kim Ki-jeong should tell him.”

Their plan was simple.

He waits in front of box number 29, located close to the ladder, and opens the box the moment the number on the map that Eun-woo Jeong can see and the sound that Ki-jeong Kim hears match number 29.

At that point, Han Do-yoon spoke up.

“Then I’ll take a quick look at the situation outside.”

“Huh why?”

“Boss Yoon and Park Min-jun are also worried... there might be a monster coming.”

“Ah...”

“If there is any problem, I will come right away, so don’t worry.”

Han Do-yoon swam down again. It seemed like he was planning to check Garam Yoon and Minjoon Park and then go to the opposite entrance to stand guard to see if any monsters were coming.

‘Well, this isn’t a place where you can feel safe.’

I didn’t know. Will monsters from the Amazons of the world or elsewhere smell blood and come rushing in? In that sense, Han Do-yoon’s judgment could be seen as excellent.

Seo Jang-hwa clicked his tongue loudly.

“I don’t like it either.”

Kim Ki-jeong shrunk without realizing it, complaining as if a tiger was roaring its throat.

“Why why suddenly?”

“I just have to watch.”

No matter what anyone says, the main characters in this incident were Kim Ki-jung and Jeong Eun-woo. Unless you are Kim Ki-jeong, who can hear the sound of the winning box, and Jeong Eun-woo, who can check the number of the box, it is of no use.

Kim Ki-jeong muttered with an embarrassed expression.

“But that doesn’t mean Janghwa, a student without a wetsuit, can go in there...”

Returnees Ha Seong-yoon and Yoon Gar-ram led them inside and passed along the information they found out in the previous episode. Thanks to this, Ki-Jeong Kim learned that ‘if you go beyond the glass wall where the treasure chest is without a wetsuit, you will suffocate within seconds.’

“It is difficult to go and get a new certificate when student Da-hoon is trapped, and there is no guarantee that another wetsuit ring will appear... In many ways, the situation is not right.”

“Are you complaining because I don’t know? “I just don’t like it.”

“If I were a normal person, I would think, ‘Oh, he’s just complaining,’ and relax, but I think Janghwa would run off somewhere if he had the chance...”

“What kind of wild boar am I? “Run away?”

“Honestly, it looked a bit like that among my friends by the stream...”

“This guy??”

The trivial fight between the two, who were equals regardless of age and position, was cut off by Kim Ki-jeong’s sneeze, as the temperature of the water was very chilly.

“Hitch...!”

“What is it, a cold?”

“Sniff... It’s just chilly...”

“Isn’t this the same as an ordinary swimming pool?”

“Originally, the water in the swimming pool is cold...”

Seo Jang-hwa and Jeong Eun-woo looked at each other as if to say, ‘I may not understand what that means, but I will respect your words.’ Kim Ki-jeong was moved to tears for a moment, but barely held it in. Because I knew that if I told them, I would be treated like a weakling.

Jeong Eun-woo, seeing Kim Ki-jeong like that, said with his characteristic straight smile.

Jeong Eun-woo was able to figure out what the problem was by looking at the ring.

“...ah.”

Are you on guard again?

‘It’s difficult.’

Seeing the ring shaking slightly, it was clear that Jung Eun-woo was feeling uncomfortable again.

‘But why?’

Wasn’t it pretty good until now?

‘What was the problem?’

He knew that the more he became aware of Jung Eun-woo, the user of the wetsuit, the more dangerous he became. As soon as the transformation into a monster begins, it becomes faster and it cannot even function as a diving suit, so it suffocates.

“....”

Jeong Eun-woo saw Kim Ki-jeong and Seo Jang-hwa looking down at him from above.

“....”

And then I looked at the map again.

Box 3.

‘1st position from the left of the right wall.’

It hasn’t reached box 29 yet.

‘Then we’ll have to wait and see.’

What Jung Eun-woo has to do is find the key here. And saving Park Da-hoon with that key is Jung Eun-woo’s final task. The winning box changes every 5 seconds, so if you miss your chance, you never know when you’ll get it again.

Here, if Jung Eun-woo cannot withstand the pressure of the wetsuit and gives up, there is no telling when the ring will function again. It takes time to go to the concert hall again and see Jung In-ho.

‘It is said that the speed of the water in the glass box is determined based on the mental strength of the trapped survivor... If Park Da-hoon’s anxiety grows rapidly, we cannot save him.’

So Park Da-hoon could have died.

‘That can’t be said.’

I did not want to fail the orders given by Lee Jae-heon like this.

“Conductor Kim Ki-jeong?”

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I was wondering if you could still hear well, so I called you.”

“Don’t worry, I’m listening carefully and I won’t miss anything.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Kim Ki-jeong’s ears are still working properly.

‘Even if I miss the number due to the pressure of the ring, Kim Ki-jeong will give me orders.’

When I thought about it like that, my heart felt at ease and at the same time, it became hard as if a ring was tightening around my finger.

“....”

Jeong Eun-woo realized.

‘The more I give up my options, the more wary I become.’

If someone had known about Jung Eun-woo’s condition, they would have figured out what the problem was right away.

Jung Eun-woo was originally a person who did not have a wide range of emotions, and although he said that he became a decent person by teasing Jung In-ho, that was a private area. Also, the current situation of finding the key to save Park Da-hoon was closer to a public affair.

That kind of thinking made Jung Eun-woo calm like a machine again, and the ring quickly noticed the change. This was the whole story that Jung Eun-woo did not notice.

And Jung Eun-woo... had no desire to get better.

“....”

at that time.

Seo Janghwa shouted.

“―Jung Eun-woo, if you mess around, it will reach your nephew!!”

...This is an unexpected statement.

Jeong Eun-woo blinked foolishly.

“yes?”

“It’s reaching Uncle Jeong In-ho! So, do well!!”

“....”

“Oh no, do you want to get scolded by your nephew?!”

“....”

“Wow... Look, you’re saying you were just fooling around with that guy?”

Kim Ki-jeong shouted as if he was embarrassed by Seo Jang-hwa’s words.

“Jung Eun-woo, you shouldn’t be absent-minded right now...! “No matter how tired you are, how can you doze off in front of a box?”

“right? Am I right? That person was half asleep. “I saw all your blinking.”

“I wasn’t going to say this, but is the Changhwa student Mongolian?”

“Let me hit it.”

“No... Well... Anyway, Jeong Eun-woo, come to your senses! Do you understand?”

ah.

“...Ahaha...!”

Jeong Eun-woo burst into laughter.

“Yes, I will be careful.”

In those words.

The ring stopped shaking.

“You don’t have to worry.”

Really.

Jeong Eun-woo safely got the key.
