Regression Is Too Much

76 – Regressor Cloud (7) (modified 5.31…)

Thump!

The stone gate we entered closes. With this, this space became a closed room.

“… sh*t for real.”

There was also a hidden element in the tutorial. Because there was a reward for defeating the Minotaur, which seemed impossible to catch.

There was also a hidden element on the second floor. If you subdue the owner of the city, you can collect the diamond reward, which is the reward above the reward.

And now there are hidden elements on the third floor as well. This isn’t a game from a web novel, and every time you go up a floor, something hidden pops up. It’s ridiculous.

“… “

With that much to complain about, whether it was the god who designed the tower or the archangel, I carefully looked around at the others.

“Uh, uh uh… “

Gyung-Jun Ahn shows off his nervousness by striking his teeth hard.

“… “

Dok Soo-hee stares at the red door with a firm expression.

“… “

“… What.”

And Kang Chan, who met my eyes.

As expected, Kang Chan also had the same thoughts as me and was observing other people’s reactions.

The door on the right is four palms. The door on the left is a single palm.

The meaning is clear.

-If you go through the door in front of you, you will clear the 3rd floor. However, only one person can pass through the red door. Passing through the red door will give you an additional reward.

As if confirming that my guess is correct, a message window pops up before my eyes.

So far, they have been emphasizing cooperation, but now they want to hit and hit. I can’t get rid of the thought that it’s insidious.

“… “

Kill them all and monopolize the reward? You should also check the red door reward once. If you return anyway, you’ll be alive…

No. No. Think of it as a normal person’s mindset. If I kill everyone else here, my mental state will really get out of hand.

I rolled my eyes and carefully read the message in front of me, then looked at the two doors.

Do I really have to fight? What do you have?

“Is there?”

There was. Way.

This… Do you think it’s okay not to fight?

“That… Let’s listen for a moment.”

Everyone’s eyes are on me.

“Can you see the message popped up? It says that only one person can pass through the red door.”

In the message that popped up before my eyes, it was clearly stated that ‘only one person can pass through the red door’.

When you think of it simply, it sounds like you’re supposed to hit and f*ck each other. Like telling them to kill all the other 3 people, take the rewards here, and get the additional rewards to get out of the 3rd floor.

“First of all, there is no need to fight each other. If you were thinking of killing everyone, you don’t have to.”

From what I’ve seen so far, none of the four of us are bad guys… Still, in case you don’t know. I continued talking with a light smile on my lips.

“You don’t clear the 3rd floor as soon as you open the door. It was said that you have to go through the door to clear it. First of all, it doesn’t matter if 4 people open the normal door and one person opens the red door.”

This is a trivial pun. A blood-red door is placed, people are driven into a terrifying secret room, and a message is suddenly displayed. Everyone is in a situation where they feel anxious and out of breath.

However, I consciously thought logically, and I was able to see the situation broadly because of the mindset of ‘regression is enough’. In this last room, there was no need to fight.

If the 3rd floor is cleared as soon as you open the door… Anyone who wanted to enter the red door would have had to kill everyone else. This is because the moment someone enters the red door, the other 3 people have no way to clear the 3rd floor. I can’t let it go in smoothly.

However, this tower was set based on the ‘moment of passing’. It’s an intentional loophole in my opinion. A loophole created for the purpose of encouraging people who have been cooperating with each other to fight against each other, and then say, “No, I couldn’t have broken it without fighting?”

I would like to emphasize once again that this tower was created with the intention of ‘judging mankind’. Although it leads people to a situation where they have no choice but to fight… A peaceful solution certainly exists.

“Let’s solve it rationally. First of all, let’s open the normal door and decide who will go through the red door, whether it’s rock paper scissors or whatever. That will work, right?”

Everyone gets their share of the reward. And whoever passes through the red door is determined by luck. It is a rational and reasonable solution suitable for democratic citizens.

Of course… I intended to run until I was the one to enter the red door. You don’t have to take the reward.

“… I think that would be great too!”

Poison Hee nodded.

She first approaches the stone gate and then looks back at us.

“Come soon.”

She urged us on with a grin.

“Now, Kang Chan-nim is here, Gyeong-jun-nim is here, and Jun-ho is here… “

When I just entered the 3rd floor, it felt like I was just talking quietly… It seems to be more active than expected.

“… Are you ready?”

Let’s get together like that and put our hands on the damp stone gate.

Kurrureung.

The stone gate moves, and a blue portal appears. Entering that portal will take you to the third floor.

The third floor is over. What remains now is who will additionally claim the rewards of the ‘Red Door’.

“Now, shall we play rock-paper-scissors?”

“Ummm… But if there are four of us, aren’t there a lot of variables when we play rock-paper-scissors?”

“I don’t know what the reward is… It’s the hardest difficulty, so choose carefully.”

“Um… Then lottery? But is there anything to use as a lot… “

“Since my legs hurt, let’s sit down and talk.”

The atmosphere is friendly.

Dok Soo-hee smiles and comes up with this and that method.

Kyungjun Ahn is shy but actively participates.

Even Kang Chan, who stands still with an expressionless expression, firmly insists that it is not, saying, “I don’t think so.”

It’s a situation where anyone could be greedy, but there was no sign of that.

The reason is simple.

The theme of the 3rd floor was cooperation, and we have been working on the 3rd floor back to back. Because a strange bond was formed.

Of course, I repeated the regression and suggested a strategy, but… It was four people who did it.

Working together, they defeated the wolf and broke through the mirror labyrinth by relying on each other’s shoulders.

The arrow trap and golem battle was a solo stage between me and Kang Chan… The memories of joining forces against a common enemy, the tower, do not go anywhere.

“What is… “

“Take it slow, don’t you think? Where does the reward go?”

The bastard who built this tower would have wanted us to split up here. But he’s wrong. All humans are not just chew.

About 10 minutes must have passed since the meeting started like that.

“Now, let’s decide on a method, right? The ones that have been released so far are rock paper scissors, lottery, and dice toss… “

Our meeting, which was sitting in a circle and talking, came to an end.

“Shall we get up and talk?”

Kyung-jun Ahn gets up from his seat, brushing off his pants dance.

“… Ah?”

Suddenly, Kyung-jun Ahn got down on one knee and put his hand on the floor with an expression of incomprehension.

“… What’s wrong?”

The moment I panicked and tried to approach Kyung-Jun Ahn.

“Huh??”

In front of my eyes, a large piece of cloth suddenly appeared and blocked my vision. It didn’t come from anywhere, and it didn’t spring up. Just showed up

Suddenly!

It was not an act based on rational judgment. It was just, close to the spinal cord reflex. Unknowingly, I drew the sword from my waist and cut through the cloth that covered my vision.

And the moment the fabric was cut.

Shuuk!

A dagger imbued with an ominous light that flies through the cut fabric.

“… !”

I was able to dodge the dagger with my reflexes trained while going through the trap passage.

“Huh?”

The path of the dagger wasn’t flying towards me in the first place. I was aiming for Kang Chan in the back.

“?!”

Gooooo!

At the same time, Kang Chan evades the ominous shimmering dagger. Colossal life is shot in all directions.

But I thought it was ‘avoided’. The dagger shot at Kang Chan seems to pass him by, and then suddenly emits light.

Down!

As soon as the dagger flashes, a transparent protective shield surrounds Kang Chan.

The protective film was made of a material similar to glass, and wrapped around Kang Chan’s body in a spherical shape.

It is a design that makes you feel deja vu. Where… Where did you see it…

“… A goblin shaman?”

Yes, the sphere that sealed the Minotaur was designed just like that.

Words that didn’t lead to thoughts pass through my mind, and all sorts of emotions clutter my head.

But before that.

“… “

My body is numb. My body feels numb, and I feel dizzy.

It reminds me of the scene where Kyung-Jun Ahn knelt before. And Kang Chan, who looked sideways, is fine. He’s just trapped in a shield.

‘Not the lethal kind. It is paralytic poison. It’s just a way that gradually accumulates in the body.’

This is what Kyung-Jun Kang said.

It is paralysis poison. Perhaps, it was buried in the spittle fired from the trap passage.

But when? The trap passage has long been crossed. Did i eat something no. Paralyzing poison gas in the air? If so, Kang Chan should have been paralyzed.

Something… Did you touch something?

But since I entered this room, all I’ve come across is…

“… Stone gate.”

But why? Why?

I firmly grasped the sword that was about to fall from my hand and slowly raised my head.

“… “

And I was able to face Dok Soo-hee’s cold gaze.

The last of the last. Just before clearing the 3rd floor.

Dok Soo-hee betrayed you.
