Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 809: The Last (42)

‘I wish I had three bodies.’

Song Sookyung, Kim Hyunsung, and Cho Hyejin were constantly calling me, so it wasn’t easy to focus on work.

In fact, it was hard to keep my mind focused on the voices that had been ringing in my head since yesterday’s event happened.

In Kim Hyunsung’s case, I was able to calm him down a little after giving him the holy sword, but Song Sookyung, who was on the wrong path, and Cho Hyejin, who probably knew about the situation, did not. Perhaps Cho Hyejin was also as flustered as Kim Hyunsung.

Not surprisingly, I could still hear her voice. I thought I had a bit of explaining to do, so I was forced to stop what I was doing.

-Vice Guild Master. Vice Guild Master?

“…”

-Vice Guild Master?

“Ah…”

-Kiyoung, can you hear my voice?

“Ah. I can hear you, Hyejin. What’s up?”

-Why… Why! Have you been silent so far? I’ve been calling you since yesterday!

“…”

-No, did you disconnect on purpose?

“It’s not that. I was just busy.”

-You have to tell me what the hell happened. Do you know what happened in the guild? No, there’s no way you don’t know.

“I was really busy.”

-Was it really you that gave the sword to the Guild Master?

“I told him not to tell anyone.”

-He came directly to me and told me. It’s a sword from Kiyoung… He said you asked him to help and that provide assistance in the future.

“He seems to have judged that telling you wouldn’t matter since you were chosen as well. Is he hiding it from other people?”

-He’s doing that on the surface, wrapping it in a clean white cloth. Still, he’s treating it as if he’s serving and worshipping it, so rumors are starting to come out. I don’t know if he applied magic power to it, but a red light is seeping through the fabric.

“How’s the guild situation?”

-The atmosphere isn’t good. Hayan, Jeong-yeon, and Sora are currently investigating it, but… I heard they found nothing even when they open the captives’ heads. I don’t know how they did that, though. Anyway, if the wizards in the guild can’t find a way, then even if we entrust the quest to the magic tower, nothing will change. That aside, until yesterday, the security level was adjusted to the highest level, but Hyunsung said we would be taking another step higher this morning. No, don’t you dare ask questions. You have to answer my question first. Is there something happening that I don’t know of right now?

“Well… You don’t have to worry too much about it. It’s not something you should be bothered with.”

-How could I not? Assassins and rangers invaded the guild, all aiming for your body. You didn’t send the spear to me for that reason, did you?

“You should focus on the task I gave to you, which is to find Lee Jihye’s whereabouts. Why do you care so much about it anyway?”

-You shouldn’t say that. Do you think that even makes sense?

“That’s why I wasn’t going to say anything. Didn’t you say that the situation is urgent there too?”

-Do you know who did this? What kind of crazy guy did this…

“Even if I knew, I couldn’t tell you. We have a clause stating that we cannot have any influence in the present world. And I’m telling you since things turned out like this, but don’t worry about my body. I think I have to hand it over.”

-…

“…”

-Are you crazy!

“I’m not joking. I really think I should. Don’t ask about the details. Just think of it as the will of God. Whenever gods send oracles, they are mysterious and have room for interpretation, don’t they? I can’t elaborate on it, so that’s all I can let you know. All you have to do is remember that something good will come out of it.”

-How can handing it over create a positive outcome?

“I told you already that I can’t expound on that.”

-Have you really gone insane?!

‘What? Are you yelling at me now?’

-You crazy bastard, really!

Using Kim Hyunsung as a lesson, I tried to be consistent with silence, but Cho Hyejin’s momentum was unusual.

-If you’re going to do this, why did you send the spear?

‘I’m not talking.’

-You crazy bastard! Lee Kiyoung, you’re a really crazy bastard!

After unwrapping the cloth wrapped around her weapon, she stepped on it. She was freaking scary. I knew it wouldn’t break, but as if that wasn’t enough, I could see her bringing another spear and hitting it on the floor.

‘What’s up with you? That’s not like you.’

-If you’re going to do this! Why did you send the spear! If you’re going to do it all by yourself! Why did you do make all that fuss! I won’t do it either. I won’t!

‘By the way, where is D.T.H.P Hyejin? What’s up with you? This doesn’t suit you.’ (Note: D.T.H.P - Don’t Tarnish His Pride)

-Crazy bastard! Crazy bastard! Do it alone! I won’t do it. Do it yourself then!

“I mean…”

-That’s what you say to someone who’s been waiting all day? Shouldn’t you tell me something more useful? You crazy bastard! Trash bastard!

She wasn’t trying to test me. I felt like she was really angry, and I thought it was understandable. Something happened, and her spear didn’t respond all day long. Although the situation had already been dealt with, she would have been anxious, thinking what if something else had happened.

It made her even angrier because she couldn’t even sleep properly.

I was worried that the unbreakable spear would be broken if I kept my mouth shut.

I didn’t know if it was because the stress that piled up within her so far had exploded, but she also seemed to be a little tired of the sudden change.

‘I guess I gave her too much information.’

It wouldn’t have mattered if I acted moderately like when I lost my memory… I didn’t know if I thought of Cho Hyejin too much like Jihye. I needed someone to cooperate closely with, so I chose to send a spear to Cho Hyejin, but her way of thinking was different from mine.

In an instant, I realized that I gave her issues, which she might be sensitive to. I had to keep talking for now.

“No, stop it.”

-Stop what? Stop what?

“Calm down. Do you think I’m really doing this to hide it? Listen to me first.”

-I know you didn’t even intend to tell me.

“There’s no way I would do that.”

-And even if I listen to you, do you think I’m going to work on such a ridiculous plan? I assure you, I’m not going to cooperate.

“My body will come back anyway. I’m just handing it over for a while. Did you think I wouldn’t mind because it’s me? It is still mine. You know I care about my body more than anyone else does with theirs.”

-If you were really such a person, the situation wouldn’t have become so complicated in the first place.

“No. All of this is part of the plan.”

-Don’t be crazy.

“Everything is connected.”

-Connected?

“I can’t really tell you the details. Again, it’s not that I’m not telling you, but that I can’t. If I do something wrong, I may get a penalty, and we may not be able to even talk like this anymore. The only thing I can tell you is that everything is connected and has meaning. I’m not sure how I got here, but this process will help me get to that conclusion.”

-And how do you know that?

“Lee Jihye is probably aware of my plans. That’s why I asked you to find her.”

-Honestly, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

“Regardless, that’s all I can tell you. Weren’t we able to drive out the outer beings at my own expense? This is the same as that time. I know it’s questionable, but this plan will lead to good results. I also want to go back there as soon as I can.”

-…

“I’m not lying. I really also want to go back with haste. Honestly, if I work on things a little slower, I won’t even have to do things this way, but you can think of it as my greed.”

‘I have to quickly take care of Hyunsung, Hayan, and Deokgu’s mental condition, after all.’

“I made another card because I wanted more certainty. My body will have some use. It’s part of what I planned, so you don’t need to be agitated, and you don’t need to be anxious. I will tell you the details after I go down.”

-Don’t think I’ll just watch it happen.

“I don’t think we’re getting anywhere, so let’s finish this issue here for now.”

‘If the boss on the 2nd floor makes up her mind and blocks the way, it will become more difficult to seize it…’

Of course, that wouldn’t happen. Cho Hyejin had to perform her role, too, and I had insurance in case of an emergency.

‘It’s impossible to attack in the first place.’

It was impossible to really attack the Blue Guild’s base as a dungeon.

If something similar happened once again, the monsters and bosses in the dungeon would come running out of it.

Of course, Song Sookyung had a similar thought. Since the first attempt failed, he had no choice but to be a little more cautious during the second.

Maybe he was looking for an opportunity. Jihye wasn’t the only one waiting for the war.

‘But it’s not that there aren’t any.’

-You’d better not look down on the Blue Guild, Vice Guild Master. Don’t think they can take the body in the first place…

“No…”

-Not the guild, but Lindel, both the Holy See and the State, have agreed to protect it. This is a plan being led and promoted by the Guild Master. He said he was getting help. He said that the power of the Blue Guild might not be enough and that he needed people who could help when a worse situation breaks out.

‘That fast?’

-I’m sure it’s impossible to take it now. I don’t know who the intruder is, what their purpose is, and what you’re picturing, but… It would be better to find another way.

Although I had already expected that…

“That’s excellent.”

I agreed with Belial’s words. As I turned my gaze quietly, I could see our lovely regressor talking with Oscar, Pope Basel, and the main figures of the State.

It was obvious why he was in a meeting with them. He followed the oracle that I spoke of after I gave the holy sword.

Unsurprisingly, Kim Hyunsung showed slight anxiety. He was dubious about whether it would be right to believe in humans other than the Blue Guild, but he resolved the anxiety by grabbing the weapon I gave him.

-He said everyone should work together.

-You mean the Honorary Cardinal… No, the Son of Light.

-Yes, Pope. He asked me to believe in humans. He asked us to believe in the light that remained in them. He told me to help and get help. He told us to find people who could be with us and move forward with all our strength.

-I see.

-If something is bothering us, he asked us to think as one… If we’re going through hard times, we should put our heads together… It’s unfamiliar to me, but he said he’ll be with us. I don’t fit in a place like this and even feel uncomfortable, but I’d like to ask you guys for help. I hope that the Blue, the Holy See, and the State will merge their powers to protect Kiyoung.

-The State will provide strength, Blue Guild Master.

-The same goes for the Holy See.

‘Then, the story changes.’

It was impossible to attack the Blue dungeon. However, it might be possible to attack the State dungeon. Oftentimes, the larger the size of any group and the more humans gathered…

‘The gap is bound to get wider.’

If the Song Villain weren’t an idiot, he would realize that.
