Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 638: One week (3)

Chapter 638: One week (3)

At that time, the one who must’ve been most embarra.s.sed would be Elune, not me, not Kim Hyunsung, nor Cho Hyejin.

I thought of that for a moment, but that had nothing to do with me for the time being. It would only be proper for their group o take care of the problem over there and our group to solve the problem in front of us.

I was worried that the telescope would be leaked and the situation would cascade even further down, but if I threw the Elune trash as a scapegoat, it would be possible to recover.

Benignore might’ve had similar thoughts to mine.

It definitely felt like we’re on the same boat by that time.

Benignore, who was running at the end of her incompetence, also began to feel proud of the idea that she had made “good judgment.”

‘No. Let’s look at the situation first.’

I was going crazy because I was curious about what was going on outside. It felt like my vision had changed sharply as I hurriedly activated my attribute. It was a rather unfamiliar sensation.

‘The effect is nice.’

It felt as if two videos were turned on at the same time on one monitor.

What my left eye could see was different from what my right eye could.

A brief headache came, causing me to grab my head, but I quickly got used to it. Still, I felt like my eyes would burst.

If I, the owner of the Mind’s Eyes, was put in such a state, it definitely wasn’t intended for ordinary people. Ordinary humans couldn’t withstand the output of that ability.

As I turned my head as if moving the camera, what spread in my field of view was the usual Lindel. My heart felt at ease at the thought that I overcame the worst situation I was most worried about.

Lindel was peaceful. Cho Hyejin didn’t talk about it all over the place.

The appearance of the Lindel residents, who were still energetic and living the same daily life, as usual, made me laugh for no reason.

‘I believed, Hyejin. I believed you would take care of it quietly.’

As I said earlier, I had overcome the worst. The same went for the capital and the fields.

She must’ve been thinking, ‘This dungeon trip took quite a long time.’

‘But where is she? Is she okay? Maybe she hasn’t arrived yet…’

Considering that Lindel was far away from the dungeon, I kept in mind the possibility that she hadn’t returned to the city yet. No matter how much of a monster Cho Hyejin was, it was still impossible to run such a tremendous distance without a break.

She might’ve needed time to replenish her magic power and stamina at least once halfway through. I nodded satisfactorily only for a moment. I looked around everywhere, concerned since Cho Hyejin didn’t up, but I still couldn’t see her.

I looked around Lindel just in case, but she remained out of my sight.

She wasn’t even in the Blue Guild.

Elena and Yoo Ahyoung seemed to be out for a while, and Sun Hee-young was focusing on her work as usual.

The only ones that remained were the three siblings, Park, Gi, and Lee, whom I judged that administrative work was impossible for. It felt so peaceful to see them having a leisurely chat while drinking tea.

-It feels strange… maybe I should go to hyung-nim…

-What’s wrong?

-I think I heard a voice as if hyung-nim was asking for help… sometimes when I’m like this, I can feel him looking at me out of nowhere.

-Sounds stupid.

-What do you mean? How many times have I said that our mind is connected even when we’re apart…

-Nonsense.

-Hahahaha, Deokgu seems to be a little tired.

-I’m telling you it’s true. I’m sure he’s in danger right now. I suddenly felt like he’s been in the dungeon for too long, and even now, I feel like I can still hear a voice shouting for help.

“What’s up with this one? Stop it.”

I couldn’t help but turn my head momentarily. I felt like I could get caught if I looked at that pig any longer than that. Just confirming that he hadn’t heard of the incident in the first place was a huge achievement.

Of course, I couldn’t properly find Cho Hyejin, but apart from that, I was relieved.

‘At least she won’t be talking about it all over the place…’

I looked for her in earnest, heading towards the 5th District where Jung Hayan and Han Sora resided.3

Since I was being held hostage anyway, it wouldn’t be bad to observe them a bit. I went straight to the bas.e.m.e.nt, and I could see a shadow enthusiastic about the work.

Of course, it’s Han Sora moving her hands with an anxious face.

I knew why she was making that face. It was because Jung Hayan was reflected through the G.o.ddess’ Hand Mirror nearby staring at her.

-It’s l-l-late…

-Certain… dungeons… certain dungeons have places… where magic power can’t be transmitted. Definitely… the Vice Guild Master is definitely also paying attention to you… He must have been unable to contact you due to unavoidable circ.u.mstances…

-You… t-t-think so…

-Yeah…

-T-the priest… that went together with him, from Raphael’s party… she’s pretty…

-Oh, that Miracle Priest or something? Pretty? She was just plain. And she’s not the Vice Guild Master’s type. Last time while working… he said his ideal type is Jung Hayan. He told me not to tell you since it’s embarra.s.sing…

-R-Really?

Of course, I didn’t remember saying anything about that. That was simply Han Sora’s way of surviving in a life-and-death situation.

It was sad to see Han Sora trying to calm down Jung Hayan somehow, but seeing her like that made me feel that she was indispensable. Wasn’t she really a living anger management robot? She could even handle Jung Hayan’s wrath.

If it were usual, she would’ve already been at a high level of anger, but the current Jung Hayan was at best at medium level.

Except for the pouting lips, she wasn’t showing any change. Rather, she was smiling lightly at the pleasant news That place was as peaceful as Lindel.

It took my attention that she suddenly went to my room, but I didn’t want to see what she went in for. Even Han Sora seemed to pretend she didn’t see it.

Once I knew that the Jung Hayan hadn’t burst yet, I was relieved. Of course, she didn’t even seem to know about the kidnapping.

‘Hyejin, this girl, is she even coming?’

I couldn’t find her, but…

‘Is it okay to think that she has arrived?’

She had only one option left unless she intended to make a loud noise.

Perhaps she had decided that it would be better not to be seen. If she didn’t plan to notify the Blue Guild, it was natural that she wasn’t in any place a.s.sociated with the guild.

Maybe Kim Hyunsung took care of Cho Hyejin separately.

a.s.suming she had run that far, her stamina and her magic power would’ve already run out.

“It’s not such a bad situation.”

It had been handled in a much better way than I thought. I felt relieved just seeing that Kim Hyunsung didn’t contact Jung Hayan.

If he were really agitated, he would’ve used the teleportation spell to reach the dungeon’s front, but Jung Hayan and Han Sora were spending their days calmly and normally.

Like the Doom Kiyoung incident, he didn’t choose the option of teleporting to Limur’s nest recklessly. I judged that he was somewhere preparing for negotiation.

He should be.

‘Well, are you having a meeting with manager Kim Mi-young in a secret place?’

The problem was that Kim Hyunsung was also nowhere to be found, although I was trying to look at the brighter side.

I had searched all the places he could be, but I couldn’t see his shadow either.

He wasn’t in the outdoor training grounds, private training rooms, the dining room, office, or room.

‘Are you with Hyejin? Are you having a meeting? I can’t believe it guys, you didn’t create a secret conference room without my knowledge, did you?’

I naturally became more and more nervous. As if to represent that feeling, I started to imagine things I didn’t want to.

‘Are you really angry? You didn’t lose your temper… or anything, right?’

It wasn’t that he didn’t contact Jung Hayan.

‘What should I do if he couldn’t do it?’

What if I a.s.sumed that he was so angry that he couldn’t even think of the teleportation spell?

a.s.suming he was angry enough to make it impossible to have rational judgment…

What if he lost his mind to the point where he couldn’t even think of an easy way to move in front of the dungeon?

‘f.u.c.k…’

Honestly, I was happy. It meant that Hyunsung was worried about me that much.

Wasn’t it like a cheap cliché coming to rescue the princess trapped in Demon’s Castle?

However, I didn’t feel good about the fact that it was the holy warrior, not the demon king, that he had to deal with. I found some time to spare, but I started to feel the candles burning at both ends.

When I raised my view to the top, I looked at the road connecting Lindel and the dungeon at a glance.

There, I saw someone running at a speed that was hard to follow with my eyes alone.

‘f.u.c.king sh*t…’

Although I couldn’t see him properly, the one I was watching was definitely Kim Hyunsung.

I thought he would at least come in a griffon, but I didn’t think he had time to do that.

Like a typhoon or natural disaster coming, nearby wild animals and monsters scattered in all directions, and innocent birds left their homes and evacuated to other places.

It looked like a mythic-grade raid monster had appeared.

He was running, emanating a murderous aura to the extent that I, who was just watching, was trembling profusely. I couldn’t imagine how the animals around him would feel.

His face was distorted to the point that I thought it was the first time he had such an expression. I could bet it wasn’t that much, even during the Doom Kiyoung incident. If he had a desperate determination to save me at that time, the face I was currently looking at contained the desire to kill.

Even the lovely regressor’s face seemed unfamiliar.

‘Ah, sh*t. f.u.c.k, it’s ruined. It’s ruined.’

I instantly realized that I couldn’t save the Holy Sword party. There would be no negotiations and conversations in the first place. There was nothing but catastrophe at the ending of the chapter. I unknowingly looked for someone to lean on for support.

The most reliable person right at that moment, the only person who could seal the wound in the event of such an accident.

‘Jihye, I only have Jihye.’

Jihye was pretty quick-witted. Since Kim Hyunsung headed to the dungeon, that information must’ve been caught by her network.

‘You wouldn’t like to have what you pictured to be ruined either. Remember that we clinked our wine gla.s.ses when we decided to make our Holy Sword warrior party soar? You noticed how the situation is going after you saw Hyunsung leaving, right? I’m sure you have something prepared, and I bet you’re using your head right now to fix it.’

After all, the only person I could really lean on was my soulmate.

‘No, f.u.c.k, no…’

However, there was one thing I had overlooked.

‘No…’

She was more quick-witted than I thought.

‘What, why is Cho Hyejin here?’

Cho Hyejin was lying in Lee Jihye’s bed.

‘Isn’t that Ha Yeon-soo?’

Ha Yeon-soo, who was known to be close to Lee Jihye, was stretching her legs with Lee Jihye and applying a sheet mask.

Watching her put the sheet mask on Cho Hyejin, who was asleep as if she had fainted, was a spectacle. Although it would be a sweet break time like honey obtained after their routines…

-You don’t look like you even take care of your skin, but it’s still really soft.

-That’s normal for their kind. Her magic power itself is also pure… That’s all revealed in appearance. If you raise your magic power, your skin will be better than it is now. Oh, of course, it’s already of good quality.

-That’s obvious. Do you know how much I spent on skincare?

The reason I felt that the timing was bad was probably because of the message on the desk.

[I’m leaving a message because I think you can find it. I think you can see it even now. Are you looking at it? Oh, I have to say that I’m sorry first.]

‘No. You can’t be sorry… You shouldn’t be sorry…’

[I also tried to fix it as much as possible… I decided to let go of it because it seems that something beyond my ability has happened. I almost died twice today. The Blue Guild Master couldn’t be stopped, but don’t be too disappointed. I have an excuse. How can I stop the man from running crazy as soon as he heard the story? Maybe if I had said something about countermeasure, my throat would have blown too. I really want to help, but I can’t this time around. I sold this stock, and I’ve thoroughly washed my hands of this event. I’ll leave the postwork to you.

P.S. Oppa should also do it quickly. Oh, and the public shouldn’t know about it. I’ll keep Cho Hyejin here for a while. This is the best I can do. Don’t resent me too much.]

‘Jihye, f.u.c.k… how could you sell it…’

Although the investor’s wisdom was evident in the fact that she had sharply abandoned it just before the delisting…

‘What about the one who remained…’

From my standpoint, where I was still holding on to the Holy Sword Coin, I was bound to feel like I had just been struck by lightning out of nowhere.
