Regression Is Too Much

51 – Jiwon Choi is too strong (2)

“That… support. That’s what it looks like… “

“Mister Cheoljin. Look at that person’s clothes. Look at our clothes. The degree of hedging is different. He wasn’t here for a day or two?”

“Uh, um… I can’t even see it.”

“And why are you talking flatly to that person?”

“No… that is… “

Two people talking friendly.

The composition of firefighter Park Chul-jin struggling with Choi Ji-won continued for a while, and then Choi Ji-won turned his head and looked at me again.

“Hello. My name is Choi Ji-won.”

“I am Park Cheol-jin. No, my name is Cheoljin Park. I’m sorry. You look so young… “

Park Cheol-jin, a firefighter who smiles.

“… It’s okay. My name is Junho Kim.”

Come to think of it, when I cleared the tutorial, I only said my name one-sidedly, but I didn’t even say it properly.

“Did you know that the country called survivors openly? I knew I could meet you there.”

Choi Ji-won speaks while gently stroking Boong-Bungi.

“… I have a situation.”

Of course I know. It happened while I was collecting information before going up to the second floor.

One week after clearing the tutorial. So, at this point, two weeks ago. The South Korean government openly called players together.

Actually, at this point, the name “Player” Has not been unified. A week later, the US government officially announced the name Player.

Turbulent period. The term “Turbulent period” Fits best at this time. It is a time when public opinion is boiling and people are talking about the tower.

Each person has a different way of recognizing the tower, and public opinion of citizens around the world is divided in all directions, and there is no right answer. I’m the answer, you’re the answer. The time when you’re screaming meaninglessly and holding on to your hair with unanswered questions. That’s the time now

Given that public opinion is divided, it would make sense for each country to make a different judgment…

Surprisingly, the judgments of the leaders of each country were all the same. First of all, collecting and computerizing the roster of players. Because of this, hosagers used to say that there must have been some kind of agreement between the leaders.

Whatever happened. The Korean government, whether following public opinion or following international trends, also randomly gathered players.

– Hey, did you go to the Tower Survivors Call in your country?

-Why do you think that? Aren’t they locked up and experimenting on humans?

-I went and came back, but that wasn’t the case. But they really do nothing. Just check the name and face and send it back.

-If that’s the case, why are you calling me? Aren’t you supposed to ask what a top is? Or at least teach me how to use a weapon.

-Isn’t it me? You ask the president

If there’s a problem, it’s that it’s good to call up, but I can’t move on to the next step. Systematic support? Listening to survivors and forming an emergency task force?

None.

As it turned out later, a power game took place between the president and the huge opposition party, and because of that, the related law revision was not progressed… This is not my part time job.

Anyway, I had no intention of visiting because the government called. They say they don’t do anything and send it back anyway, but there was no reason to go back and find it.

“Me and Mr. Cheoljin met there. Was it the Seoul Military Manpower Administration? It was used as a temporary place to identify survivors.”

“… It’s been a really long time since I went to the Military Manpower Administration. In the yard where civil defense was over… “

People who passed the risk of dying in the tutorial usually had at least one mental illness.

There must have been someone who had to put a knife in the back of a trusted colleague.

There must be someone who has had to turn away from someone else’s death in order to live.

There are people who have had to pay the price because of the sins they have committed.

There’s no way PTSD doesn’t exist.

However, the closest family members can’t sympathize with the experience at the tower. It is impossible to listen to in the first place. Then what about the government? What do they know to bring people together? Can you hear what I’m talking about?

Even right in front of your eyes, the first floor, the sweetest fruit ever prepared. It is even strange that the government keeps insisting that they come and go.

From noble mtl dot com

“I went… Almost all of them were people who passed by in the tutorial. Even Mr. Cheoljin was an acquaintance of his deceased father… “

Except for those who passed the tutorial without any damage, just doing what they were told to do.

Choi Ji-won. And Cheoljin Park. Besides that, about 50 people who cleared the tutorial thanks to me.

After recognizing each other, they said that after the government’s identification was over, they rented an entire restaurant and had a chat.

And, of course, the topic of conversation was the tower.

“You come up on the Internet every day, right? What does the tutorial look like in the first place? Betray to live, kill to not die… It was terrible.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin shakes his head.

It wasn’t until after clearing the tutorial that people realized it.

What a great blessing it is to have survived intact like this.

How lucky everyone survived the tutorial.

“I really wanted to say this when we meet again.”

Choi Ji-won bows down.

“I apologize for not believing and doubting in the open field. I’m really sorry.”

It was a serious and heavy voice, different from the previous voices that showed weak intimacy.

“Me too, I’m sorry for being careless with you earlier.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin also bows down.

“After clearing the tutorial… I could tell. How unreasonable and cruel the place we were was. How many lives Junho saved. I really wanted to say thank you. Thanks again. Other people also asked me to say thank you when they met Junho.”

“… It’s okay. Really.”

My throat was choked with emotion, but I swallowed it down and barely answered.

I also had a lot of things I wanted to say.

Choi Ji-won. How has she been? Does Boongboong listen well now? Firefighter Park Cheol-jin Is your body okay?

I want to approach them in a friendly way, put their arms around their shoulders and have a chat.

But I can’t.

I could tell from the attitude of the two of them now.

The emotion they feel is gratitude. Not intimacy.

I… It was a benefactor. Not a colleague.

They are not the Choi Ji-won I used to know, nor the Park Cheol-jin I used to know.

Working together to defeat the Minotaur only remains in my memory.

There is no Choi Ji-won who smiled at me in the empty lot at sunset.

There is no firefighter Park Cheol-jin who gave him a thumbs up saying that you are a hero with a pale complexion from sweating too much.

Then… Kim Jun-ho, who was with them, must have been gone.

This joy of mine must be buried deep in my heart.

I thought my heart would hurt. But I didn’t expect it to be like this. It’s been quite a while, though, and I thought it would have gotten better. It wasn’t.

I was lonely.

Also… Avoid being overly friendly with others. It was okay when I was alone all the time, but when I meet someone who gave me affection, the dormant loneliness rears its head.

Let’s keep moderate discomfort. Let’s keep a reasonable distance.

Be friendly, but don’t get close.

“… Nice to meet you like this.”

For me and for them.

“People… I have no intention of going up to the second floor now. At least normal people.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin starts talking with a heavy expression.

First of all, in the brutal tutorial, people with mental breakdowns said they didn’t want to go up to the second floor.

After being severely burned in the dying and dying tutorial, he completely lost his will, buried in the comfort of the first floor.

With the exception of some responsible for saving humanity and a few climbing the tower with the desire to become stronger, everyone was absorbed in playing and eating on the first floor.

It didn’t seem that item trading was as active as in the American backworld, so no one climbed the tower out of desire.

But do people who have passed the tutorial without problems want to go up to the second floor? It wasn’t that either.

They have no levels. That’s covered by the achievement level? But it’s not just the lack of levels, but also the lack of combat experience.

I don’t know the exact reality of the second floor, but if it’s a death game where you have to kill each other… He didn’t have the confidence to win the competition against other people who had risked their lives to clear the tutorial.

“So… Me and Mr. Cheoljin came from the advance team. To make sure it’s safe.”

Park Chul-jin and Choi Ji-won belonged to the responsible part mentioned earlier.

They said that they did not neglect their training by using the first floor, and that they had come up to the second floor as if they were convinced that they had finally become accustomed to combat to some extent.

Choi Ji-won, who stops talking and moves his gaze to me.

“Junho… It seems you’ve been here for quite some time. Is there any reason?”

“Yes. For a very important reason.”

After briefly explaining the rules of the second floor to them, I explained the information I found out through regression as if I had found it through careful investigation.

Two-story structure. No violence. Residents who are forced to live someone else’s life. The owner of the city who created all these environments. And even the fact that if you steal the chests from the residents, there is a very high chance that you will call the owner of the city.

“That… She is crazy.”

“I can’t believe that God made this tower. Is it evil?”

Choi Ji-won is indignant, and Park Cheol-jin is a disillusioned firefighter.

If these people. I thought that these righteous people would sympathize with me.

“I need help. Would you like to hear my plan for a moment?”

Choi Ji-won.

There’s something you need to do.
