Regression Is Too Much

83 – Regressor Perplexed (4)

“You guys, who are you! Are you the inhabitants of this place?”

It’s snowing.

The clothes of the self-proclaimed Baron Jorge were by no means suitable for such a cold winter. A little old, a little flimsy, a little fancy. In short, it was thin.

“We… It’s hard to explain the circumstances in detail, but I only need to survive five days. I will reward you in any way, please… “

But Baron Jorge was fine. To be precise, I wanted to be fine.

My fingertips burn red in an instant. The tip of her nose is as red as a strawberry, and the wrinkled skin on her face twitches out of control from the sudden cold air.

But there was no trepidation in his voice, and his eyes were confident. Just now, he had an attitude that he couldn’t believe that he was summoned to this place.

“… “

“… “

But… Even if you ask for help What do you mean help me? We were just summoned here, and we knew nothing about it. Help? Rather, are we in need of help?

“Ugh, ugh… “

“It’s cold, it’s cold… “

However, it would be absurd to leave hundreds of people trembling behind the scenes. They were wearing thin, thin clothes like Baron Jorge, but they didn’t have the mental strength to overcome the snow like Baron Jorge.

“Once… Let’s go inside.”

“Once… Let’s go inside.”

Our voices overlapped, and the eyes of a middle-aged white man and I met. It was too cold outside and there were many people, so he decided to go inside the castle.

“Thank you, thank you. I will definitely repay this favor.”

Baron Jorge still had a hard time grasping the situation, but he seemed to notice at least one fact that we had done him a favor. He nodded at me and a middle-aged white man, then turned his back and shouted to hundreds of people.

“Follow me! We will definitely survive! Got it!”

“N, yes! Baron!”

“I will follow you!”

It’s a hopeless situation, but people’s eyes are shining colorfully. In their eyes, you can feel the heat through the cold winter wind.

“… “

Trust. That’s trust Trust that if it was Baron Jorge, he would do something. Absolute trust that only those with ability and reputation can receive.

“Come on, let’s go.”

Hundreds of people follow without hesitation, and ten players take the lead. They moved towards the castle.

To avoid the wind.

Jeopardy. That buck that buck

Hundreds of footsteps resound across the parched soil.

“… “

The road to the castle was short, but the whole walk was complicated in my head.

These people. Why did it suddenly appear? In the message window that popped up before my eyes, there was no mention of these people.

A cold winter. Old castle. 5 Days survival. This alone makes my head hurt, but suddenly hundreds of aliens appear? Even without a mediocre cold weather coat?

If you save them, will there be a hidden reward based on the number of heads? Or a monster pretending to be actually human? Does killing give you a lot of experience?

… If not… Did you give it as food? Seriously, there is a possibility.

Of course, it’s disgusting and you might think it goes against the tower’s ethos, but… This is the realm of Archangel Raphael. In the past, on the second floor, he made remarks treating people other than climbers as bugs. It may not be simply my delusion, it may be reality.

“Let’s go in.”

As mentioned earlier, the castle was not far away. My disgusting imagination naturally came to an end, and we arrived in front of the old castle.

“… The door is a bit small.”

Usually, when you say ‘castle’, you will think of spiky and splendid castles in the fantasy world. If you go one step further here and are interested in history, you will think of stone castles that actually remain in Europe.

But the castle in front of me was more disappointing than that.

It is connected to the road extending from the large drawbridge on the castle wall, and it is the gate that serves as the main gate of the castle…

It is too narrow for three adult men to pass through at the same time. After all, at what age would hundreds of people go inside?

“… For now, let’s go.”

But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t stop, so I hurried my steps. From a certain moment on, I was in the lead, but it was probably because of my experience on the 3rd floor.

Jeopardy. That buck that buck

Walk down the aisle straight ahead. The floor was made of stone, so the sound of walking echoed throughout. There are no light sources other than torches hanging everywhere.

Hui Yiing.

The wind that blew in from the direction of the entrance brushed past my ears with a chilling sound.

I thought the atmosphere was very similar to the cave on the third floor. Narrow, damp, dark. I escaped the cave at the end of many years of endurance, but it’s like this again.

“Are you following well behind me?”

In addition, the circular passage was narrow, so the field of view was limited. The ceiling height is also low, so even if you look back, you cannot see anything. In other words, it was like entering a narrow tomb.

“…”

Generally speaking, a castle serves as a strategic point and at the same time was a living space for the owner of the castle, so it was equipped with various devices.

There are windows that serve as both lighting and interior decoration, and convenience facilities such as a reception room to welcome others, a large hall where you can hold a banquet, and a restaurant where you can have a meal together are common.

But here, nothing. There are no windows, so the only light source is torches, and there is only an open passageway, let alone a restaurant.

I wonder if I walked like that for about 3 minutes.

The front was blocked by a wall, revealing passageways leading to the left and right. It’s a crossroads

“… Write.”

No, this isn’t a maze… Actually, isn’t something coming out of the castle basement? Is it fake outside?

Ominous imaginations came to my mind, but the decision to make was decided.

“… Go right.”

The divergence here is suicidal. I lead the group to the right, and the passage continues all the way again.

“Oh?”

As I walked this time, there was a wooden door on my right.

Rumble.

“… “

I sneakily grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door, but the door wouldn’t budge.

“… Do you?”

The texture was different. It wasn’t just locked, it was blocked from the inside.

“Hey, we came here first.”

A trembling voice is heard from inside the door.

“As you are also superhumans, it shouldn’t be difficult to break down the door… If I fight, I will fight until I die. Just go.”

“… “

It’s a cute menace. Glancing sideways behind him, the man with his slit eyes shrugged his shoulders and raised his palms up.

It was a gesture of ‘Are you an idiot?’. It was clear that those inside would have no chance if they tried to break through with force.

“… You don’t have to open it, so tell me what’s inside.”

“… “

“If you don’t talk, I will break the door… “

“Poetry, food and… With winter clothes… Torch and… There is nothing else. Really.”

“… Is it so.”

After hearing the answer, I moved on without regret.

Judging by the echo of the voice, the size of the room did not seem very large. It wasn’t enough to accommodate the hundreds of people who followed, so I decided to just let it go.

I passed through the locked door and walked a little further.

“Oh… “

The road is blocked again, and the only road to the left is visible. However, this time there were stairs leading to the upper and lower floors on the right, and there was a wooden door with the design we saw earlier on the front.

What is unusual is that the wooden door is open randomly.

“… “

I peeked my head out to check inside, and as the man said earlier, various foods and winter clothes were strewn about the floor. There are no windows in the room either, so there is no light source other than a torch.

More than that, why is there still food left in this room? There are no people, only food left. While I was looking around the room feeling strange.

Jerbug. That buck

“Wow, it’s f*cking humid.”

“Asshole, it’s better than the 3rd floor. But it’s wide behind here… Uh!”

Two men came down the stairs swearing and bumped into us.

First they watch me peering into the room, then they watch the hundreds of people following us.

“… What is all this?”

A man who speaks erratically.

“This is what I want to ask.”

I pointed to the room and asked the two of them.

“Here… That there are food and winter clothes. Did you know?”

“Yeah, what… “

A man who answers while scratching the back of his head. The reaction is not very significant. Indeed, it seemed that he knew there was food.

“… But why leave it alone?”

“What?”

“Food.”

What was the reason for running into the castle in the first place? To monopolize food. But when you actually entered the castle, did you leave the room with food like this casually? I don’t understand easily.

“Ah, ah… You just came.”

“It deserves it.”

But the two men reacted as if they understood something after hearing me.

“Well, it wasn’t even a fuss at first. There were a lot of people running inside while using skills, and I almost got stabbed… “

“… What about it?”

“Here, there are so many rooms like that.”

A man who clicks his tongue while saying tsk.

“The aisle is so narrow, and the room is so f*cking big that not many people can fit in there… There are many rooms like this. They are all over the place.”

“… “

“There aren’t many on the first floor, but… There are so many rooms on the second floor and basement. So now other people are running around saying there might be a hidden piece in it.”

After that, the man explained something, but it didn’t reach my ears.

There are many rooms. And, the room is packed full of winter clothes and food.

When the situation is pushed to the extreme, people become selfish and violent, but when the situation is peaceful, people become generous.

The reason the others didn’t fight was simple. The food was so abundant that it lasted for five days.

And the abundance of resources means…

“… It’s serious.”

The situation seemed more serious than I thought.
