Regression Is Too Much

95 – The night is too dark (4)

“Ah, I hope there is no misunderstanding about bursting into laughter. It was because the situation was absurd, and I didn’t mean to ridicule Junho-nim.”

“… “

“The first two people who found the portal went inside… It was discovered that five players were fighting over the remaining three spots. The situation was urgent, so everyone threw themselves into the portal, and the portal closed after filling the number five. I was fighting on the front line, so it was impossible to intervene.”

Yoon Joong-hyun shakes his head.

“I also think it is the right decision to hide the existence of the portal. There will only be trouble… I think the willpower of Junho, who did not enter the portal despite finding it, is also amazing.”

But… Saying that, Yoon Joong-hyun looked around.

“People have already figured it out.”

The eyes of the players are shining. Eyes filled with deep resentment shoot at me.

The night of the 4th day was so difficult that it was incomparable to the previous one. Because a slime monster appeared that nullified all the groundwork that had been done.

“I pride myself on choosing the best option ever since we were summoned to the 4th floor. Power never lags behind. There are more than 10 people with A-level or higher characteristics, and above all, there is Junho. Even so, twenty players died.”

The preparation was perfect. Power is also strong. All things considered, this is obviously an unusual difficulty level.

“I almost died right away. I was severely decapitated, but thanks to William, I was saved. I’m in this yard… “

How the hell are the rest of the weak players supposed to survive? No matter how you survive today, what should you do tomorrow?

In such a yard, did I hide the existence of a portal through which I could escape? It is not strange that resentment is pouring out.

“I understand. What’s the situation.”

I bang my foot hard! Rolled At the same time as the sound spreads, people’s attention is focused on me again. There was also an intention to activate the ‘awe’ attribute.

“Once… Sorry for hiding the existence of the portal. But I think it was the right decision, and I will probably do this ‘next’.”

It happened because too many people were concentrated on the 4th floor of the castle. My judgment was not wrong.

“And, I don’t think it’s a situation where you will resent me. Because I have contributed more than the rest of you put together.”

I widen my eyes and make eye contact with the people who were glaring at me one by one. Eyes that naturally fall to the floor. They probably know too. That I didn’t do anything wrong.

“It’s unfortunate that the situation has turned out this way… Shouldn’t you just live and see? Our judgment was not wrong. Please know this one thing. I wish you well tomorrow.”

After giving light glances at Baron Jorge, Yoon Joong-hyeon, and William Smith, I walked down the stairs to the third floor.

Now I only had to hold out for a day, but…

I had a hunch that it would be the hardest day ever.

**

A small room next to the stairs that is always used for meetings.

“I will be honest. I think that aliens should be abandoned. As long as it is discovered that Junho hid the portal, there will be no more players to sacrifice for the aliens. If you press down with force, they will listen, but they will never fight hard.”

Yoon Joong-hyun speaks while spinning the dagger. Even though Baron Jorge was listening, he did not hold back.

“I found out while running away. The targets of the monsters were consistently directed towards the 4th floor. The target is them, not us.”

“It could be because there are simply too many people!”

“Isn’t the group with the most people here the alien group?”

“… “

“Above all, if we fight while defending the aliens, we must abandon the best option.”

Yoon Joong-Hyeon knocks on the wall with his back.

“I think the top speaks out. Please use this room.”

Actually, the best way to hold on is to use one room as a base. The entrance was narrow, there was no possibility of getting caught, and above all, the walls were strong.

If only a few people can take turns guarding the entrance, these small rooms are a natural fortress.

“But… That inevitably results in the weeding out of the weak.”

William Smith carefully refutes.

“The room is small. No matter how hard you push people… As much as we need space to fight, it can fit up to 10 people.”

He let out a deep sigh, crossed his name, and went on.

“Inevitably… It will result in strong people coming together. We will find members who can relieve each other’s burden.”

10 People can fit in one room. 10 People have to take turns blocking the entrance.

Of course, the terrain is easy to defend, but since you never know what will come out on the last day, everyone will want their rooms to be filled with strong people. There would be no player with a good heart who would put the weak in a yard where life was at stake.

“And the first thing to be weeded out… It must be all of you people from this world. Even if there is someone who accepts it, it won’t be a good intention… “

“… “

The aliens were the weakest on the 4th floor, and there were also the most. If, as Yoon Joong-hyun said, each person keeps their own room, no one would want to be in the same room as other people.

“… Wouldn’t it be nice to mix you and my people?”

Baron Jorge speaks with his head bowed.

“Hey, Baron. Didn’t you decide to survive on your own?”

“… That’s right. However, things did not turn out this way. Please… Everyone has a family… “

Yoon Joong-hyun shot at him sharply, but Baron Jorge silently lowered his head.

“Hi, really… Please don’t do this.”

We who are here know. No one made a big mistake here. No, rather, it is more like everyone working together to come up with the best outcome. It’s just that the level of difficulty on the 4th floor is ridiculous.

“… Let’s do this.”

After all, I have to do something.

“Let’s keep the players in their rooms. Joonghyun-nim takes care of it so that the power is not concentrated… Let’s live on the 4th floor like today. Instead, I will guard the entrance on the fourth floor.”

“… Junho is our greatest strength.”

Yoon Joong-Hyun tells them to just throw away the aliens. But my will is firm.

“I don’t think people from other worlds were given their lives. You don’t know what will happen if you leave the aliens unattended. This is the top.”

“… That’s right.”

Yoon Joong-hyun seemed to barely understand, and William Smith nodded his head.

“Hey… “

Baron Jorge holding my hand tightly. Unaristocratically, the hands were wrinkled and rough.

“Really… Thank you so much.”

“… No. It’s what I have to do.”

This is the right direction. I was so sure

“Killing aliens might be the answer.”

Surprisingly, it was Kyung-Jun Ahn’s older brother, Ahn Gyeong-Nam, who made these crazy noises.

“… Do you know what you are talking about?”

“I know I’m talking about terrible things. However, I’m always talking about the answer that ‘TOP wants’.”

“… Are you sleeping right?”

“No. It doesn’t matter now.”

Gyung-Jun Gyung-Jun said he had something to say urgently. He was flipping through his old books with bloodshot eyes.

“The moment when the remaining past and moving future become the same. Realize again that you all die. Do you remember this sentence?”

“I remember.”

But wasn’t the analysis already finished? ‘The moment when the remaining past and the future to move forward’ were the same thing, and ‘I realized that I was dying again’ was an attack by a group of monsters.

“I thought so too at first. But look at this book. Oops, I’ll read it.”

A man with glasses takes out another book scattered on the floor and begins to read it carefully.

“When is the moment you realize life most intensely? It’s when you think about death. We must not ignore death. When you always have death in your heart, you can always do your best in life.”

“… “

“It is a religious book. You can see that people here have valued ‘death’ for generations.”

“… Please continue.”

“If you interpret it based on this, ‘I will realize that I am dying’ is not really dying. Rather, it suggests that it survives. How do you know that dead people die? Even if it was someone who was rescued right before death.”

That was a plausible interpretation. The question has not yet been fully resolved.

“Yes, let’s just say that. Then, how did you interpret the ‘moment when the remaining past and moving forward become the same’?”

“People from other worlds. They were obviously wearing medieval clothing. At least it wasn’t the modern day. In other words, the ‘remaining past’ refers to people from other worlds, and the ‘future to move forward’ is us. When enough aliens have died and the numbers are equal, we will be given a chance at life.”

“… The leap is severe.”

“But it sounds plausible.”

It didn’t seem like the man with glasses I knew. Because the man with glasses in my memory was rational and reasonable. Now he was like a racehorse who couldn’t see left or right.

I needed to calm him down, so I told him.

“Don’t you remember the Tower tutorial? This tower was built to judge humans. Would that be the right direction to do that?”

“No, that’s why I’m right.”

Bang Bang! A man with glasses knocking on a book in his hand.

“You may know that the 3rd floor is divided into different levels of difficulty. My brother entered floors 3-5, the hardest difficulty.”

“… “

“I haven’t heard the details… In the last room, there is an entrance that only one person can enter. The intent is clear. It would be to fight each other.”

Since Ahn Gyeong-nam didn’t recognize me, I thought Ahn Gyeong-jun didn’t talk about the 3rd floor. But he didn’t talk about me, but he seemed to share at least what happened on the 3rd floor.

“Could the room be fake? No. Perhaps the reward was given properly. This tower is encouraging immoral behavior. We are leading the easy way. Wouldn’t that be a trap? That’s right. In the long run, it’s likely a trap. If we climbed to the last 66th floor, wouldn’t God’s judgment fall upon us?”

A man with glasses who spit and speaks passionately.

“But what does that mean if you die right now? Is it right to die right now, afraid of a judgment that may come at any moment? Yes???”

The man with glasses, who had been screaming with a blood clot around his neck, soon lowered his head.

“Dahye… I’m dating him. But he probably won’t last. The level is low, and the person itself is weak. If it stays like this… They die on the 5th day. Please… “

“… “

“If things go badly… Throw away the aliens.”

If what the glasses man said is true… Again, I was given a choice.

The option is to leave it alone until the number of aliens equals the number of players.
