Regression Is Too Much

79 – Regressor Cloud (10)

After the conversation with Poison Hee, Kang Chan’s punch finishes off the golem.

“… “

The four of us were able to reach the last room again.

“What is this?”

I ignored the box in the middle and rushed into the room, looking at the red door first.

“Uh, uh uh… Don’t touch it carelessly… You know what will happen if you raise your hand… “

“I will touch it with my fingers, not my palm.”

I put my finger on the red groove where I put my palm. The tips of my fingers shone faintly, but soon faded.

“This… It’s bleeding.”

I could tell when I touched it. The red door wasn’t originally red. It turned red with people’s blood.

“Blood?!”

An extremely flustered Kyung-Jun,

-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.

A message window pops up in front of your eyes at just the right time.

“… “

“… “

As in the previous episode, the air flow awkwardly sinks. In an instant, they turned into enemies.

“… Would you like to listen to me for a second?”

As in the previous installment, I corrected people’s misunderstandings. In this room, he appealed that there was no need to fight, and that he could cooperate and open the stone gate on the right first.

“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.”

“… Great. It’s convincing.”

Ahn Gyeong-jun and Kang Chan, who were on edge, calmed down, and an atmosphere was created where they could have a rational conversation again.

“… Then, shall we open the normal stone gate first?”

Kururureureung.

So, the four people gathered and opened the stone gate, and the blue portal revealed itself.

Yes, this is the same as the previous episode. What changes is from now on.

“So… Who will enter the red door… “

“Wait a minute.”

Dok Soo-hee interrupts Ahn Gyeong-jun, who was about to talk about the red door.

“Everyone. I will enter through that red door.”

She did not strike the back of the head as before, but she proudly declared that she would enter through the red door.

“Yes? To? What did you say? What is that now… “

“… Are you insane?”

However, despite choosing a relatively rational method, the reaction is intense.

Ahn Kyung-jun and Kang-chan look at Dok Soo-hee with expressions as if asking what they are talking about.

“I will explain from here.”

There was a possibility of misunderstanding if I left Dok Soo-hee to explain, so I decided to step in here.

“… Listen and see You have bizarre insight.”

Kang Chan’s sharp momentum subsides, and Ahn Gyeong-jun, whose eyes were wide and wide, barely calms down.

“First, let me tell you about Suhee’s past.”

Starting with an explanation of the goblin shaman, the boss of the tutorial.

Heroes of the tutorial. And the betrayal of the goblin shaman. Even the story that the people who chose death put a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of poison suhee. I told the story of Dok Soo-hee as briefly as possible.

“… “

“… “

The atmosphere sank more heavily than before. Because death has a weight that can’t be expressed in words.

There was a moment of silence like that.

“I still don’t understand.”

Kang Chan was the first to speak.

“I heard the sad story of Dok Soo-hee. However, everyone carries their own story.”

“… “

“That means we don’t see the need to give up the reward for that red door.”

That was true.

Among the people who can enter the 3rd to 5th floors, is there anyone without a story? Kang Chan, Ahn Gyeong-jun, and I all had something that we were carrying. Kang Chan’s words are an undeniable theory.

“… I think it’s fine.”

However, Gyung-jun Ahn wiped away the red eyes and put his hand on Dok Soo-hee’s shoulder.

“How much… How hard could it have been… I’m still just a young student, how painful must it have been in this tower… “

“… “

“I am strong enough… I am strong enough to keep myself alive in this tower. I think others will too… I think it’s right that, from the perspective of increasing the survival rate, Poison Su-hee, the weakest among us, gets an extra reward.”

Ahn Kyung-jun smiles while looking at Dok Soo-hee.

“We are climbing this tower to live after all, aren’t we?”

“… Whoa.”

Kang Chan, who listened to Ahn Gyeong-jun’s words to the end, moved his gaze to me while rubbing his forehead as if he was annoyed.

“… Good. I have no intention of going against the majority vote. But Kim Junho. I have to ask you this one thing.”

“… Please tell me.”

“Do you think it is right for the eagle to pass through the red door?”

“… Yes.”

“Okay, then I agree. I don’t believe in Doksuhee… I believe in what I saw of you on the third floor.”

Saying that, Kang Chan retreated from the red door. Apparently, he seemed to be packing his own box.

“Well, that’s great Miss Suhee!”

Ahn Gyung-jun was happy as if it were his job, and tousled Dok Soo-hee’s hair. It seems that he has attached affection to Dok Soo-hee.

But after a while.

“… Uh?”

Gyungjun Ahn suddenly got down on one knee and put his hand on the floor with an expression of incomprehension.

“… ?”

It’s a sight I’ve seen before. In the previous episode, Ahn Gyeong-jun, who was poisoned by Dok Soo-hee’s paralyzing poison, collapsed like that.

With a hopeless heart, I moved my eyes to Kang Chan.

Flash!

With the bright light, Kang Chan was trapped inside the goblin shaman’s protective shield.

“…”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak. After picking and choosing words, what came out of my mouth was a simple question.

“… Why?”

“What is it?”

“… You said I would convince you.”

“But… ”

Dok Soo-hee, the culprit behind everything, tilted her head with a nonchalant expression.

“Persuasion may fail. I know it’s cowardly, but it was necessary.”

“… “

“So, on my own, to be sure… “

Dog Soo-hee picks up excuses.

Her eyes are kind to me. Because her awe trait was activating.

But at the same time, there is madness. Madness capable of doing anything for the sake of my goals.

Only then did I become convinced. Dok Soo-hee said that it was not normal.

“But will you understand? It’s not for me alone, it’s for the people who died because of me.”

Saying so, Poison Hee approaches the red door.

From noble mtl dot com

Dok Soo-hee’s story was extraordinary, and her will to climb the tower was also sublime.

But is personality a separate thing?

Poison Hee… She is justifying her misdeeds with her own story.

“Then… “

Dog Soo-hee raises his palm above the red door with a bright smile.

“… Why.”

Gyungjun Ahn couldn’t see her and closed her eyes tightly.

“… This.”

The moment Kang Chan-yi clenched his teeth in the protective shield.

aaa!!!

From the direction of the red door where Poison Hee was standing, an explosion sounded out of nowhere.

The explosion was by no means large, although the aftermath did not reach us as we stood on opposite sides of the room.

“Quaaa!”

Poison Hee suffered an explosion at close range.

The arm of an eagle that shatters in an instant. The body of an eagle flying like a doll with a thread cut off.

Her body bounced on the floor a few times before flying in front of us on the other side of the room.

“… “

“… “

Poison Su-hee seems to have lost her mind due to shock, although she is hiding. Her blood drips from her amputated side.

“… What is this… ! No matter how much I betrayed you, I’m just a child… !”

Ahn Gyeong-jun trembles and tries to support Poison Hee. But her body was paralyzed, so even that couldn’t be done.

Gyung-jun Gyung-jun, who was trying to move his body by twisting his body, immediately closed his eyes and stood up from his seat. I don’t know why, but I was successful in my spirituality.

“… Betrayer.”

However, Kangshin Ahn Gyeong-jun seemed to have no intention of helping Dok Soo-hee.

“I have no obligation to help a traitor. It’s like I stumbled on my own greed, so I feel refreshed. If it was my hometown, I would have thrown it as lion food.”

After he laughed at him, he lifted his spirit state, and Gyung-jun Gyung-jun, who regained his body, groaned in his seat because of the paralyzing poison.

“… “

And Kang Chan was silently looking down at Dok Soo-hee from within the protective shield.

“What an absurd ending.”

I just say that.

That moment when everyone turned away from Dok Soo-hee.

“… Suhee… !”

I, who was the only one who wasn’t paralyzed, helped the fallen Poison Hee and examined his wounds.

“Damn, what is this… “

The wound is severe. However, it is not life-threatening. And since the arm flew away without a trace, there would be no point in using the potion.

“… They say he betrayed because of greed, but he’s still just a child… The people who built this tower, how far are they going to mock us… !”

I howl as if vomiting blood, burning hatred.

– Awe [A]

– Praise for your greatness. Fear of not being able to understand.

– You can use the characteristics of the target affected by awe only once in a degraded version.

-Oksuhee: Inventory (SSS) ＞＞＞ Synthesis/Explosion (B-)

I thought I would betray you, but I really didn’t think I would…

Hey Suhee… !

Your enemy… Don’t make sure I pay you back… !

**

Dog Su-hee lost her right arm in an accident.

Quite a bit of time passed, but she showed no signs of waking up.

No, to take the arm of a girl with such a strange story. How cruel is this tower?

Did Dok Soo-hee betray you at the last minute? Or did she even have an emotional arm while reciting dog sh*t philosophy?

If that’s not the case, do you think you can’t do the will of the dead in vain, but do you think the will of other living people is a b*tch?

When I asked her not to betray and wait, did she not tolerate it and did it again?

Why the hell did you do this… !

“… It’s not Junho’s fault. Are you okay.”

How did he interpret my expression, Ahn Gyeong-jun put his hand on my back.

Yes, this was just an accident. It’s nobody’s fault. If I had to argue, it was the fault of Dok Soo-hee who was greedy.

Unless someone rushed to the red door as soon as they entered the room and applied the explosion enchantment to the door using the newly acquired attribute, it was clear that the red door exploded due to the tower’s gimmick.

“… Rather than that, look over there.”

Ahn Gyeong-jun points to the red door. No, it is ambiguous to say that it is red now.

The surface exploded, and a large part of the blood scab attached to the door was blown away.

The red door was an obscure mixture of gray and red.

“The trap seems to have been a one-time use… “

Again, the story is back to square one. Additional rewards can only be obtained by one person.

Then, who will take the extra reward?

“… “

“… “

After a brief fight of notice, where each other looked into each other’s eyes.

“Junho Kim.”

Kang Chan-yi looked straight at me and said.

“You go in.”
