72 – Regressor Cloud (3)

The answer popped into my head.

Just one.

The answer is like a narrow pinhole.

“But before I tell you this, there is one thing I need to point out.”

“… What?”

“Your fist. I need to know the exact terms of use.”

In fact, Kang Chan’s ability is the strongest among the players I’ve seen so far in terms of attack power. In terms of the impact of one shot, it is comparable to the owner of the city that triggered the heart of the war.

Of course, Kang Chan’s fist is the most important skill in attacking floors 3-5.

Right now, I’m only guessing that ‘it can be used about once’ as a rule of thumb, but it is also important to understand the detailed usage conditions.

“… If that’s the case, I’ll have to hear from you too.”

Conversely, Kang Chan answers my questions with questions.

“I guess… I understand that you are not a regressor who only regresses once. Probably the kind of regressor that regresses over and over again. As soon as you enter the 3rd to 5th floors, instead of looking around, you immediately start talking to me.”

“… “

“I need to know the conditions under which the point of return is different. Do you decide Or is it determined by some condition? Can I renew again?”

Kang Chan asks about my regression ability. I forgot about it because he told me about his ability so meekly, but I didn’t reveal anything about my return.

“… Why are you curious about that?”

“Aren’t you planning to return anyway? What’s wrong with telling you?”

“… “

I didn’t know what to say. There’s nothing I can’t tell you about the memories that will fly away after you return anyway.

But nonetheless… It felt a bit clumsy to say that ‘If you brush it, it will return’. It was not a rational thought, but a rejection that occurred in the instinct unit.

“… I regress when certain conditions are met. The point of return is determined by the moment you first enter each floor.”

“I told you to reveal the penalty for fists, but you also hide the detailed conditions.”

“… “

“Let’s just not reveal each other.”

Kang Chan shrugs once.

“… Well, that’s it Next, I’d like to hear more about what you’ve been through since you entered the 3rd-5th floors.”

“Why?”

“Shouldn’t you be able to judge whether your plan is realistic or not? I’ve already told you my story.”

“That, everyone… “

In the midst of a war of nerves, Ahn Kyung-jun intervened without notice.

“A woman is waiting for you… You should come now… “

“… There is I’ll be there soon.”

“Al, I see…” “

Kang Chan, who overpowered Ahn Gyeong-jun in an instant with his eyes, moved his gaze to me again.

“If you don’t want to tell me, it’s okay not to tell me. Or you can lie. If you ‘return’ anyway, I’ll forget everything. Ah, it would be fine if I just went back right now. I got the information I was looking for. But you are alone Even a plan that seems perfect to you may reveal flaws when seen through the eyes of a third person. I have something to tell you.”

“… “

Kang Chan.

Contrary to the first image, this guy seemed to have a pretty good head. Besides, he’s being cooperative now.

I don’t know what his intentions are… Maybe it will help

“… First of all, let’s start when you first enter the third floor.”

So I slowly told Kang Chan what had happened after I entered the 3rd to 5th floors.

I was reluctant to talk about the past by revealing the fact of regression, but… Kang Chan was right. Even a plan that seems perfect to me may reveal flaws when viewed through the eyes of a third person.

“… After confirming that the golem’s fist was stained with blood, I returned.”

About 10 minutes had passed.

I finished the story, Kang Chan was contemplating something with a firm expression, and Kyung-Jun An, wondering why these bastards didn’t come, sneaked in and went back in a heavy atmosphere.

“… I heard you well.”

Kang Chan was nodding his head with a face that was hard to read, although he wasn’t completely expressionless.

“First of all… I guess I can only use the ‘fist’ once on the 3rd floor.”

“Are you sure?”

“To be honest, it’s true that giving you too much information is awkward. But it’s not a lie. Floors 3-5 are… It doesn’t get along very well with me.”

“… Right.”

Kang Chan seemed to understand what it meant to give information to a regressor. And he didn’t even seem to be lying.

If he can use the ‘fist’ twice, things become very, very comfortable. But only once. I can’t help but feel sorry

“More than that, the other three, including you, seem quite strong.”

Kang Chan turns his head and looks in the direction where Dok Soo-hee and Kyung-Jun Ahn are waiting.

“… For me, ‘fist’ is more like a kind of last resort. After using it, it’s no different than walking around with your head exposed.”

“So you used your ability in an arrow trap?”

“Maybe you have faith. If it’s you, the belief that I can survive to the end even if I use my abilities.”

Kang Chan in the past said that he probably observed other people carefully. Except for the ‘overbearing’ trait, Kang Chan, a corpse, always had to observe others.

From personality to strength to way of thinking. Putting all of that together, Kang Chan concluded that our party was trustworthy and must have used their abilities along the way. (Kang Chan was also not in a position to pass through the trap passage comfortably.)

Moreover, since it has the ability to ‘intimidate’ as the last bastion, it must have been confident enough to survive.

“… I didn’t know that a deadly golem would pop out.”

However, the ending was not good.

“… At this point, I think I’ve broken all of my cards. Now it is your turn.”

Kang Chan looking straight into my eyes with black eyes.

“Let’s hear about your plan.”

“… Good.”

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth and started explaining.

My plan.

From noble mtl dot com

Its essence was simple.

Because it was to figure out what these four people now have, analyze the obstacles in front of them, and use them in the right place.

It’s not such a grandiose plan. It was a simple change of thinking.

“… Your will is the most important plan.”

This is Kang Chan’s reaction after hearing my plan to the end.

“The odds of success seem high. Unless you break it.”

Actually, that’s the biggest problem with this plan.

A battle of whether my willpower can endure or not. However, among the plans that immediately came to mind, there was no right answer other than this.

“… I will cheer you on.”

After a small nod, Kang Chan slowly stood up from his seat.

He loosened his shoulders once, then took his stance and glared at me.

“Then, go back now.”

A fist wrapped in light. The life that comes out of the body.

These are the precursor symptoms of Kang Chan’s ‘fist’.

“… I was thinking of going back anyway, but isn’t there a need for this?”

Of course, I was thinking of going back, but I felt a bit sad when my attitude suddenly changed.

“No. Think about it from my point of view.”

Kang Chan shook his head.

“It could be that you have a special skill and you stole my status window, or you guessed my abilities through reasoning and then started psychological warfare.”

“… “

“What do you think is the reason I obediently told you about my past and my abilities?”

Kang Chan, like the regressor, has a clear counter the moment his true identity is revealed.

Volume.

You can win if you just push with quantity. There may be some sacrifices, but after taking out just one punch, it is nothing more than a helpless existence.

In other words, from the moment Kang Chan revealed his ability, he had no intention of letting me go.

“… If I’m not a regressor, you’re stuck on the third floor? We can’t proceed here without four people.”

“As long as my ‘reality’ is exposed, I am as good as a dead person. I also gambled on my own…”

Kang Chan bursts out laughing while talking.

“No, I will just be honest. I doubted it at first, and like I just said, I threw a gambler… I believe in your return now. This is my intuition, and it is also the result of synthesizing what you show.”

“… Then why are you doing this?”

“I’m trying to score points.”

“… What?”

“Have you ever thought about it from someone else’s point of view? How would you feel if you met a regressor?”

“… “

“You are a kind of natural disaster, or something irresistible. Unless there is a means to seal you away forever, arguing with you is the same as committing suicide.”

Kang Chan raised one corner of his mouth.

“I am appealing to you right now. I’m not a goofy idiot. I am a person who can be of help to you, and furthermore, a person who can be of use to mankind.”

Kang Chan was talking.

He said that he had grasped the situation this far in an instant. I am a person with my own insight.

It would be more reasonable to leave it alone and use it, rather than completely destroying it by exposing it here and there.

“… Somehow, at first, I wanted to talk too plainly.”

You had a plan. I thought I just had no idea.

“No, I didn’t tell you simply because I had no intention of letting you go.”

However, Kang Chan shook his head.

“I also intended to see how you react to my story. As you observe me, so I observe you.”

“… “

“And when I saw… You are trustworthy.”

I think so now, and I would have thought so in the past.

Saying that, Kang Chan smiles shyly for the first time.

“… So, I will support you.”

The moment the light slowly went out in Kang Chan’s fist.

“… Thanks.”

I nodded slightly and went back.

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered floors 3-5.]

“… Wake up bantling.”

“… Whoa.”

Before executing the ‘plan’.

First, I had something to experiment with.

“Let’s go.”

Golem.

I had to face him once again.
