Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 257
257 – The Returner’s Worries (4)
“Dok Soo-hee… “You say?”
“Okay.”
“… “
Is it you again? Doksuhee?
This bastard also changed angels on the 16th floor, and seems to have had an accident again this time. If the number one player in climbing the tower is the ‘Emperor’ mentioned earlier, then the number one player that angels hate is definitely Dok Su-hee.
“Uhm… “
More than that, I don’t like the fact that he had another accident. Since the association and the U.S. Government are at odds, it is possible that a small conflict may arise. However, I don’t like the fact that they tried to kill someone on the 26th floor. The same goes for not receiving any contact.
I don’t know if I can say this, but I feel sorry for Dok Soo-hee and have a small favor. Because she betrayed me first, but I also blew off her arm. I still regret that aggressive response.
He also came to me first and promised full support, saying, ‘I will be a helpful player,’ and I have tried to view him favorably so far due to the fact that he may have changed the future to prevent potential tyranny by the U.S. Government… The more I engage in this kind of unexpected behavior, the more my inner intimacy is diminished.
You said you would help me. He said he wanted to be recognized as a colleague of the returnee.
But why are you doing this? Why can’t I come out of the tower, why can’t I contact you, and why do I keep doing things I don’t like? You want to be a colleague, right? If this happens, the favor I did will look like a sweet potato. Irritability wells up from deep inside.
No, it may be too hasty to judge. Don’t get carried away by your emotions. I can decide my attitude toward Dok Su-hee after listening to Rose’s words. If this continues, Dok Soo-hee will regress again.
“… “Can you finish speaking?”
I calmly calm my mind and wait for Rose’s next words. The guy was staring intently at my face, and it seemed like he was giving me too much information because he was unable to control his emotions. Of course, it’s okay because it will return.
“Good. I’ll tell you. Instead, this is what I heard, so there may be some parts that are different from the truth. Instead, it is clear that this is ‘players’ perception.’”
Rose laid out a lot of groundbait and pointed in the direction of the central square with her thumb.
“Excuse me. This happened in the very center of the square. All players entering the 26th floor are summoned in the center of the square. The same goes for going out. The reason there are those guys sitting there is to check who is coming in and who is going out.”
“… Are you checking them one by one?”
“In my case, I watch it to use it… For others, I watch to control the tempo of climbing the tower. If the concept of the floor is that of competition, it is advantageous to avoid the strong and join the weak… If it’s a layer that needs to cooperate, it’s the opposite. “I don’t know if I’m on a solo floor or a shared floor, but wouldn’t it be advantageous to make the situation as favorable as possible?”
“It’s not important,” Rose added, rummaging through her arms again and pulling out a portrait of a young man.
“This man… “
“Yes, this is the American government player I mentioned earlier. Did Abby say she was a minister? They say that my skill level is extremely high because I drank all the experience elixirs. His nickname is ‘Master.’”
When Choi Ji-won shows signs of recognition, Rose nods.
“Anyway, this guy is actually a very arrogant guy. As he quickly climbed the tower, he openly said he was going to replace Michael Jeter. After this guy almost fell half to death on the 25th floor, he was absolutely terrified. After he got to the 26th floor, he gave up going up any more. It can be seen as a kind of injunction. Because his job was to sit in the square all day long. “He feels like he is giving information to the government while maintaining his own interests.”
“… “Is it okay for me to just give you this information?”
“It’s useless now. Listen.”
The rose fluttering as if fanning the portrait held in his hand.
“But one day, his condition suddenly got worse. He was breaking out in a cold sweat, staring at the center of the square. Everyone expected to receive some kind of order.”
The next thing Rose took out was Dok Su-hee’s portrait of her.
“At that time, Dok Soo-hee appeared. This bitch is not new to the 26th floor. There are quite a few people who collaborated at the tower. His face He was also sold a lot. Oh, how did you know it was part of the association? When he came in on the 26th floor, he came in with Michael Jeter.”
Rose added that the people she saw at that time were Michael Jeter’s henchmen and she placed Soohee Dok’s portrait next to the portrait of the young man.
“But about two weeks ago. Dok Soo-hee came back to the 26th floor… This American master jumped up from his seat. His attitude was that what was coming would come.”
The government player took out a piece of paper from her pocket with her trembling hands and thrust it at Dok Su-hee. It was an item called a ‘contract’ sold at a store on the 26th floor, and it was said to be an item that could result in disadvantages if the other party did not fulfill the contract.
“But this contract is not something that can be used unilaterally. A contract is only established when both parties agree in advance, and excessive disadvantages cannot be imposed. So, ‘if a disadvantage occurs, the person who suffers is trash’. If you are a normal person, there will be no disadvantages in the contract.
Yes, if you are a normal person.
At this time, it is said that Dok Soo-hee moved his hand as soon as he saw the ‘contract’. And soon after… An American player who was holding a contract collapsed. Dok Soo-hee snatched the contract from the hand of the fallen man.
“There is a ‘no violence’ condition on the 26th floor, right? You cannot directly harm others. So the other players didn’t think to stop it for a moment.”
Another American player later said it was ‘poison gas’. It was not a ‘relatively’ safe type of gas that spread across the 25th floor, but a deadly poison that would kill an ordinary person instantly if they inhaled just one sip. The fact that you survived was purely due to luck. Master… He’s still recovering.
“Dok Soo-hee, she has the ability to summon something. So, it’s clear that he suddenly summoned poison gas into the American boy’s face.”
Later, when the angel arrived, the other players arrived, and the situation settled down… Dok Su-hee was exiled.
“Deportation?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Because I broke the rules of the 26th floor. You can roughly think of it as ‘permanent entry ban.’ Entering the next floor can be done from the first floor, so it is possible to climb the tower… “Not being able to use the facilities on the 26th floor is fatal. .”
“… “
“It’s not enough to break the terms of the contract… Trying to kill someone I tried to run away and failed. Was he eventually expelled? “There’s no way our perspectives are equal, right?”
Rose shrugs.
“Of course, Michael Jeter later came and apologized in person. He didn’t do it himself. Sorry. In the future, I will manage it well so as not to cause inconvenience to other players. Fighting the government now is for the players, don’t misunderstand, etc.”
However, the ‘sincere apology’ was not enough to appeal to the top players, who may have been friends but were united by interests. Even if it was Dok Soo-hee’s solo action, Michael Jeter was also at fault for not being able to do his best
“Of course Jeter is at war… I think there is a high possibility that it was indeed a solo act. But even if Jeter is really innocent, the rumors aren’t good for those under him. In a situation like this, rumors are going around that Choi Ji-won, who is known to be friendly with Jeter, is also a bubble and a made-up star.”
“… “
“Well, there are some people whose close friends died while fighting with Jeter’s gang… As I said before, it’s better to listen carefully.”
This gives you a rough understanding of the situation, right? Rose concludes by saying, certainly, as he boasted, this information was truly useful.
So, to sum up what happened…
First, as soon as Dok Soo-hee entered the 26th floor, a player belonging to the U.S. Government stood up in shock.
Second, the American player said something quickly, took out a contract from his pocket, and thrust it at Dok Su-hee. (I don’t know the content because the sound was blocked with magic.)
Third, Dok Soo-hee took out poison gas from her inventory and attempted to kill the American, narrowly failing.
Finally, fourth. Dok Su-hee was permanently expelled from the 26th floor.
We don’t know the identity of Dok Soo-hee’s her contract, but it looks like she really, really didn’t want to keep that contract. She was even willing to commit murder.
And Michael Jeter. Why did he hide this fact from us? Why did he say he didn’t know Dok Soo-hee’s whereabouts? I could have told you later. How did you not get on Choi Ji-won’s lying radar? Us… Was she cleverly trying to deceive?
To have a headache. I was disappointed in Dok Su-hee, but I had no idea how to deal with this situation. Perhaps it was the same for Choi Ji-won, who was desperately looking at me for help.
“First… Let’s go back to reality and think about it.”
This is the end of the deal with Rose.
Check out the rewards that you can see if you go to the first floor… After returning to reality…
I think the time has come to clearly decide on my future direction.
