I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 22
Only Noblemtl
022.
The progress from then on was smooth sailing.
“Huh? This is it. There’s something fishy about that switch right here. Should I try pressing it?”
-?
-Is it true that not being able to act runs in your family?
-What is the Korean language textbook’s speech style?
It’s all because Gian has carefully read the strategy for [It Kills To].
It was the same with the previous broadcast where I watched the strategy video, but that was just to get a general idea of the flow.
This time, I had watched Black Oak’s video several times and had thoroughly learned the strategy.
-Fast progress ss
-Let’s watch the boss fight quickly.
-If two Merders come out, it’ll be a reggaeton.
Viewers are looking forward to the fast-paced progress of [It Kills To].
It was to satisfy such public sentiment.
And there was another reason besides that.
“···Ugh, are you okay, oppa?”
“what?”
“The smell. It smells so bad in here.”
A sewer filled with a musty smell.
Gian wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.
No, even the smell of the sewer is recreated.
Why did they insert such useless things into the game?
Of course, the implementation of smell in [It Kills To] was a setting that gamers could turn on and off.
-This is the reality mode you chose. Endure it.
-He didn’t choose it though lol
-Ah haha my brother pressed it
-Information) He said that he pressed it because he didn’t know the difference between game mode and reality mode and thought that if it was realistic, it would be good~ – There’s no wrong answerㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it’s realistic, it’s good, but that is if Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an weren’t playing in reality mode.
Reality Mode, as its name suggests, does not allow you to turn on or off realistic settings such as smell implementation.
Even the creatures’ blood and mucus were implemented, so it was extremely creepy.
Bam-
“Found it! Oppa, over here!”
The secret passage that Gian was able to reach after much effort.
It was a passageway leading out of the sewer.
Of course, we fought many small battles on our way here.
Creatures including animal-like and human-like zombies mutated by the virus, as well as acid monsters and neck huggers.
Of course, everyone was like, “Pfft!” in front of Lee Do-hyeok.
No, today was just like whoosh- phoenix!
Even while digging through the sewer, Lee Do-hyuk entertained viewers by wielding a double axe and showing off a whirlwind attack.
-Wow
-The wheelbaba concept is consistent.
-Would you like to try Diavolo? I saw that the wheel wind works well earlier.
-That’s a bit···
-Kick out the kid that Dia recommended; he’s an assassin;
Squeak-
As we exit the sewer, all we see is an iron bar and zombies inside.
And what you see between them···
“···?”
An old woman sitting in a wheelchair.
Lee Do-hyuk narrowed his eyes.
It’s a very strange sight.
Dozens of horribly mutated zombies with all sorts of grotesque appearances due to the virus, and a human peacefully sitting among them, creates a kind of bizarre feeling.
Even unlike other humanoid creatures that have appeared so far, it didn’t have any bulging or peeling parts on its body, and was just an ordinary-looking person.
-???
-No, lol
-Why are you here?
-What is this? What is this?
But then again, the chat window went crazy after seeing that.
“Eek?!”
Not only in the chat window, but also Ji-an, who had looked at the strategy guide several times before the broadcast, exclaimed in surprise from the side.
Bb-
After seeing that reaction, Lee Do-hyeok paused the game.
Judging from the fact that even those who appear to be veterans are surprised, it seems like this isn’t an ordinary situation.
Before going into the boss fight, it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the relevant information.
“Who is that old lady? Boss mob?”
This question was more of a confirmation exercise.
Looking at the chat window and Ji-an’s reaction, Lee Do-hyeok also naturally realized that the ordinary-looking old woman was most likely a boss mob.
Maybe… he’s the first person infected with the mutant virus or something like that.
So you can control other zombies or something.
‘There actually was a guy like that back in the day.’
China was divided into six countries after the outbreak.
He was a king in one of those countries.
In fact, it was a place that could hardly be called a country.
Because it was a place where there were no living people except for me.
He was a zombie virus that had awakened strange abilities and could make the infected follow his commands.
Because he couldn’t properly control his awakening ability, it would spread to a radius of several kilometers even if he just stayed still, so he ended up infecting all his relatives without even wanting to, and in the end, everyone ran away from him, so he was left alone in Sichuan Province.
He was a rather pitiful awakened person who had no choice but to become a hikikomori because the only friends he had to play with were zombies he had created.
Even because my last name was Tang, I drew all kinds of aggro on the Internet, saying that I was the only one who was a descendant of the Sichuan Tang family.
‘What happened to him?’
I remember that I was surfing the internet alone and ended up picking a fight with Guangma Chen Tao on a Chinese website, and that ended up breaking the pot.
To put it in Korean, it would be like saying, “You piece of shit Chen Tao, are you that good at fighting? Why don’t you come to Sichuan Province?” and then Chen Tao really leaves.
At that time, the internet speculation that ‘Are transcendent hunters immune to poison or viruses?’ was confirmed.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
Anyway, Lee Do-hyeok made that guess based on his past experience.
But an answer came out that slightly broke Lee Do-hyeok’s expectations.
-Your wife.
-lol
-It’s true that it’s a boss mob, lol
-She’s my ex-wife though…
-Your ex-wife? You’re a boss mob…
-Ugh lol
“????”
If it’s my ex-wife… Chloe, who brought the two of them here in the game’s background?
Lee Do-hyeok looked at Ji-an with a bewildered expression, hoping for an explanation.
Then Gian nodded slightly.
“Uh.. From what I know, if you don’t save Chloe within the given time, you’ll probably age like that. The mutation caused by the virus will cause you to age.”
“Was our clear time that slow?”
“No, that’s absolutely not true. On the contrary, it’s incredibly fast. How did you guys get this?”
-We don’t know either?
-Is this really true?
-Isn’t it just a taste of AI with difficulty settings?
-??? : Oh my… Save me… Stop it…
It’s been quite different from the usual [It Kills To] hidden route from the beginning, so even veterans of [It Kills To] are seeing this situation for the first time.
But there is a reason why stagnant water is stagnant water.
They were able to infer the reason to some extent.
Tiring-
[‘Gonggeummanbom’ donated 1,000 won.]
-Isn’t that because you didn’t spray serum?
-ah
-That’s right lol
-I think you need to spray the serum sprinkler to slow down the infection progression. -Oh? That seems plausible. -This is so hard that you would have been pressed for time anyways. LOL -I’m a difficulty AI, and that’s right. -Difficulty AI doesn’t speak like that…
A pretty plausible guess.
Normally, when entering a hidden route, the normal way to proceed is to spray serum and scatter it around the map.
However, Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an did not go through that process and just increased the game difficulty as much as possible.
Even though they advanced to the next stage in a short period of time, this situation occurred.
That is, if it weren’t for Lee Do-hyeok, Chloe’s mutation would have been slowed down by the normally distributed serum, and she would have acquired the vaccine and been cured of the virus as it progressed.
However, the mutation was already over due to Lee Do-hyeok’s play that raised the difficulty level to a crazy level.
Tiring-
[‘Macbanseok Samgyeopsal’ donated 1,000 won.]
-So you made it like that?
“Uh.. maybe that’s not wrong?”
-You died!!
-Murderer of ex-wife ㄷㄷ
-lol
“Anyway… that’s your ex-wife who got old due to a virus mutation? And now you have to catch her? What kind of story is this?”
According to the setting, he came here with his current wife to save his ex-wife.
The woman they came to rescue was actually a boss mob.
Of course, considering that [It Kills To] is a two-player game and that two-player games are usually played by couples, this development is a bit hard to accept, but it was still absurd.
“Well. Actually, Chloe was the one who started all this in the first place.. You guys, do you mind spoilers?”
-yep
-This game came out a few years ago, why are you giving me a spoiler? lol
-ok okay
Ji-an’s explanation continued as follows.
In fact, Chloe was a researcher studying biochemical weapons within a military organization.
So in the opening scene, in the flashback between Ethan and Chloe, she was wearing a white gown.
The mutant germ that is the culprit of all the current events also appeared in the world as part of her and her organization’s development of a biochemical terror weapon.
And here’s where Chloe’s trolling comes in.
She smuggled the mutant strain out of the lab in order to sell it to a rival organization, but was eventually pursued by the original organization and ended up hiding here, and in the process, Chloe ended up getting infected by the mutant strain’s pathogen.
The current situation occurred because the mutant bacteria mutated in her body.
In other words, Chloe was both the one who created this situation and the host of the fungus.
“To be exact, Chloe died shortly after arriving at this house from injuries sustained while evading the pursuit of the existing organization. The pathogen was resurrected as a mass of pathogens while the fungus was cultured in Chloe’s already dead body, so the real host is inside of her.”
-Thank you, Gianwagon!
-Wow, you studied hard.
– Quick explanation steering
-Yeah, that’s correct
It is said that if you progress through the story of the original game, you will naturally come to know this truth.
Even if you save Chloe in time to stop the mutation and inject her with the vaccine, it will only stop it for a short while, and if it progresses further, the mutation will eventually begin.
As you explore the mansion further to solve it, you find some clues about the truth, Chloe’s behavior also becomes increasingly strange, and eventually, all the truth is revealed and you enter into a battle with the final boss.
-So now you’re going to fight the final boss right away?
-Merder doesn’t appear?
-Hey Itgalers, tell me something
-We don’t know either, don’t ask, f*ck
-Ah haha we also say this difficulty level is for newbies
However, if this happens, the fourth boss, Merder, will be defeated.
Boss mobs of the 3-4-5 stages that lead to Chaos – Murder – Chloe (a lump of germs).
[It Kills To] is a game that is evaluated as having maintained immersion through the initial horror atmosphere that you will eventually become accustomed to as you progress through the game, and the combat action elements in the latter half.
Accordingly, the boss mobs of stages 3-4-5 are well known for their high difficulty level that will make players’ palms sweat.
But now, we’re going straight from Chaos to the final boss, Chloe (a lump of bacteria).
Related questions started to appear in the chat window.
Bb-
But those doubts quickly disappeared.
After finishing the explanation, Gian resumed the game.
Because the answer was revealed in the cutscene that followed immediately.
Ethan and Ellie look horrified at the sight of the zombies filling the cage.
hook-
Then Ethan suddenly raises his head as if possessed by something.
“It’s Chloe’s voice···.”
“I think I heard that too…”
Both Ethan and Ellie turn their gaze to the center of the bars.
At the same time, Chloe’s head, which had been as still as death, also turned.
Her two eyes were flowing with black fluid.
It looks as if tears are being shed.
-Coming
-dgggg
-Be careful of the ghosts
Ugh, ewaaaah, aaaaah-
Then Chloe’s screams of pain are heard.
With a rotting sound, Chloe’s body slowly melts, centered around her eye sockets.
Oh my gosh-!
The sound of something exploding.
Chloe’s body melts and bursts, spraying black fluid everywhere.
The black fluid that disperses once and then gathers again.
And what appeared was···
-??
-Ugh lol
-That’s right
A colony of fungi that appears as a large human face, formed by the accumulation of melted body fluids.
It was Chloe (a lump of germs), the final boss of [It Kills To].
But there was another reason why the chat window was in chaos.
Because Chloe wasn’t the only one whose body fluid had changed to black.
-I wondered where Merder went
-Fuck lol
-Final boss + 3 Merders? Hahahahaha
-You want me to beat this with two axes?
Even the fourth boss, Merder, appeared in three batches.
A battle where you have to fight not only the final boss, but also three fourth bosses.
At that moment, a very appropriate donation rang out.

-I’m going to destroy you who made me work.. That was my only thought from the beginning -ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-When did you change your nickname?
-The timing of the nickname change is annoying
-Was that the guy from earlier? Lee Do-hyeok’s disciple?
-SighㅋㅋㅋYou turned blackㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh, the lecture is too difficult.
