Chapter 582

Theatrical Regression Life Chapter 582

Episode 582

Park Da-young saw a mermaid in the water tank at Lee Jae-heon’s words.

“....”

The target was relatively clear.

It had very long, straight hair that seemed to almost reach its thighs. It was difficult to distinguish between the mermaid’s unique pale skin and the mysteriously colored tail, but that feature alone was enough to identify the person.

‘But...’

That thing spoke to me?

‘In the first place, is it going to be heard that you’re talking over there?’

Park Da-young’s question was common sense, but she also knew that common sense does not work well in the behind-the-scenes world. If I had to find a similar object to understand Lee Jae-heon’s words, I could think of the mermaid at the exam center where Jeong Eun-woo got his license.

“....”

Even though the mermaid had no mouth and could not speak, she was able to communicate with Jeong Eun-woo. Just by making eye contact.

‘If you think about it that way, you could think that the mermaid is sending some kind of telepathy. That’s true. That’s true, but...’

I felt strangely uneasy.

“....”

Park Da-young herself didn’t know why she felt that way. Is it because Lee Jae-heon’s remarks were too sudden?

Dayoung Park saw Jaeheon Lee.

“...Did that mermaid talk to you?”

“I guess so.”

“What do they say?”

“You are looking for me. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“Why are you....”

Park Da-young, who had said that far, kept her mouth shut.

“....”

What Park Da-young saw was Lee Jae-heon’s neck wrapped in a handkerchief. So, to be precise, I was thinking of the tattered gills under a blood-stained handkerchief.

‘...Now that I think about it, only the old man has mutated.’

So is it true that only people who are mutated in that way can hear the final boss’s voice?

‘I’m not sure. There is no basis or object for comparison....’

At the same time, Jeong In-ho was also thinking similar thoughts.

“Could it be that the manager is the only one who has mutated and can hear the mermaid’s voice?”

“It’s not out of the question, but... I’m not sure.”

“I wish I had asked you before.”

Jeong In-ho sighed at Ha Seong-yoon’s seemingly calm reaction.

In the last episode, the people who mutated in that way included Lee Jae-heon, Jeong Eun-woo, and Park Da-young. However, neither of them was a returner this time, and neither had they ever had a conversation about the ‘mermaid’s voice’ in the previous episode.

‘In the first place, before I could talk about it with Jung Eun-woo, she disappeared while opening the treasure chest... and Da-young died in the Amazon area, where there were no mermaids nearby, right after she was transformed, so it was impossible to ask her.’

Therefore, there was no way to confirm Lee Jae-heon’s claim that ‘the final boss is talking to you.’ Even if you search through the information and records of the performance venue, you cannot know whether the story they want is there.

‘In the end, it was the previous survivors who left records of the performance hall.’

If they didn’t find out and deliberately left no records... no matter how hard they searched, they wouldn’t find the information they wanted.

“....”

“....”

So there was only one option left.

“...First of all, I understand what you are saying.”

Believing what Jaeheon Lee says.

‘Because that person has no reason to lie.’

Moreover, the current Lee Jae-heon was a person who did not have the spirit to lie. Even though it seemed like the conversation was going well right now, there was no way he had enough time to plan and act out a lie.

Above all, there is no way Lee Jae-heon would have given unfavorable information to the survivors.

“So, aren’t you saying that that mermaid with long hair over there is the final boss? Yes?”

“you’re right.”

“So what does that mermaid say to the manager?”

“It’s nice to meet you.”

“....”

“In the case of Manager Lee Jae-heon, he has gills on his neck, and even if you search the whole world, it would be difficult to find a person with gills on his neck. I don’t know if there are actually people like that, but even if there were, it’s not a universal human trait. Therefore, Director Lee Jae-heon, who has gills in the other world, does not meet the universal standards of human beings...”

“This is getting longer, so why?”

“I wanted to say that even if you only have gills, you are already in the category of a monster rather than a human, so Manager Lee Jae-heon, who has become a monster, may also be treated as an employee of this aquarium. “It is also natural for the boss and subordinates to be able to have a conversation.”

Jaeheon Lee said with a grin.

“You’re a monster, so you don’t have to talk too much.”

“Mister, please.”

“In the case of President Yoon, he didn’t say anything, but I don’t understand why he reacts so negatively to what I say. “Why?”

“The monster you talk about and the monster Garam talks about have different connotations...” While

Garam Yoon truly feels like ‘I call you a monster because I am a monster’ without any regrets, Jaeheon Lee says ‘I am a monster and therefore useless and dangerous. I had a strong feeling that it was okay to kill him. For no reason, it makes the listener feel very uncomfortable.

“Do you understand?”

“I will be careful. But this time, I also meant the former.”

Park Da-young, who was trying to move on naturally, opened her eyes brightly.

“‘Just this time’?”

“....”

“That guy is really....”

“Haha.”

Seo Jang-hwa patted Park Da-young’s trembling back, unable to even grab her tattered collar. Meanwhile, the story progressed further, and after fully accepting Lee Jae-heon’s words, plans were being made.

“Then, now that we know that the mermaid is the final boss, isn’t it okay to try defeating it?”

“No matter what, it’s a bit... I’m dying from exhaustion. Can’t we just let Dahun escape and leave here?”

“But no one knows whether the final boss will be the same even when you leave the aquarium and come back.”

Han Do-yoon, who was playing with kindergarten students, also joined in.

“But I’m also worried about what will happen to Lee Jae-heon’s gills.”

“Mr. Han Do-yoon?”

“No, think about it. Lee Jae-heon has already started to mutate, and if we don’t rip off his gills like that, he will gradually become a monster... I wonder if everything will be okay if he goes outside the aquarium.”

“....”

“In the first place, isn’t there a contradiction whether a human with gills breathes outside the water or inside the water? “Perhaps the mutation has progressed to a lesser extent now, or it may be possible to breathe simply because it is an aquarium.”

Han Do-yoon shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m sure you don’t plan on leaving Lee Jae-heon here alone, everyone.”

Seo Jang-hwa frowned at those words.

“It was the opposite until 5 seconds ago.”

“No matter how fast my stance change was, 5 seconds ago was severe. “Wasn’t it about five minutes ago?”

“It’s either that or that.”

“Oh my god, so you’re going to abandon Lee Jae-heon?”

“Why do you say that?”

Park Min-jun thought to himself as he saw the opposing opinions being persuaded by Do-yoon Han’s words.

‘Hogunga?’

Of course, Park Min-jun was of the opinion that it would be great if he went out with the captain or escaped, but he could roughly understand the opposing opinion.

‘It’s going to be hard, but it would be much better to leave the aquarium than to die trying to catch the final boss.’

However, I am only being persuaded by the words, ‘I’m not going to leave Lee Jae-heon alone.’

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just leave it...? I am not a person who will die easily just because that person curses me to die. Moreover, if we are turning into monsters, the survivors who know nothing will be anxious because we don’t know when they will attack us... Wouldn’t it be easier to die?’

That’s how Park Min-jun came to a conclusion.

‘Certainly chicks are chicks.’

My thoughts were not rational. Even though he was suffering to the point of death, he ended up acting like he couldn’t win because he was worried about others. It was a very unreasonable attitude for him to be swayed by his emotions.

“....”

And the South Korean detective thought, guessing Park Min-jun’s true intentions.

‘That bastard...’

He was such an efficient guy that it warmed my heart, but he was also obnoxious enough to make me want to make his cheeks look bigger.

Have you already forgotten how long the back end is?
