The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 89

#Episode 89. Resolution (1)

The villa was filled with all sorts of luxury items that Park Ji-su had left behind.

The workers weighed them and checked that the amount due was correct.

Park Ji-soo paid all the luxury items that she had to pay weekly in one installment.

And Zion distributed all the tribute to the inhabitants of Man-gyeong.

Before the war, it was to boost morale.

“I never thought you would defeat Park Ji-soo. Why, there’s an old saying that goes like this. He who wins without fighting is truly the winner. Ah-. You’re truly amazing.”

noon.

The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the ruined city.

The workers of Bisan gathered there and moved the tribute goods while sweating bullets.

Next to Zion, who was looking at them, Madame Bisan was calmly smoking a cigarette while holding a black silk umbrella.

The workers, one or two at a time, carried boxes and approached the ogre, who was crouching on the floor.

Nearby was an ogre trainer from the park, with a huge basket mounted on his back.

The workers stacked the boxes into baskets.

Tick tock tock-.

The ogre crouching on the floor continued to grumble.

They are still chewing on the corpse that was fed to them in the morning.

The ogre’s food was meat.

But the corpses that the guys had collected in the Anyang Station underground shopping mall have already all fallen.

That’s why Man-gyeong came up with a new way to supply the meat.

One of them is funeral procedures.

The corpses of civilians who die in accidents within the force are supplied as food for the ogres.

There wasn’t much resistance.

The people of Man-gyeong, who value labor, become food for the ogres after death and live forever as a labor force.

Inhumane, inhuman.

That word has long since disappeared.

In Man-gyeong, there is only Man-gyeong’s own philosophy and Kang-shi-on’s commands.

In order to run an ogre, fresh meat is absolutely necessary, and the number of corpses increases within the force. If you can supply these to the ogre to prevent it from running wild and use it as labor, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

“Your Majesty, how are you? My men have prepared a banquet. Would you like to join us?”

Madame asked with a smile, but Zion’s gaze was fixed on one place.

Bisan-dong Pamian Apartment Complex.

This was the territory obtained through negotiations during this period.

In fact, Zion negotiated with Park Ji-soo to acquire the apartment complex along with Bisan.

Through that negotiation, he ended up acquiring the Bisan-dong apartment complex.

Apartment complexes will be a key part of the defense against flying debris.

Zion has been doing his best to turn the apartment complex into a ‘fortress’ for the past month or so.

The apartment complex thus renovated was a ‘work of art’.

“… … I’m sorry, but let’s meet again next time. I’m busy.”

The war is now just a week away.

There wasn’t much time left for the King of the Universe, Zion.

Zion turned around and walked back towards Man-gyeong with the ogre loaded with tribute.

The madam of Bisan silently watched the back of the monarch.

* * *

A public bathhouse near Beomgye Station.

Choaaaak-!

The long-haired man poured cold water on the unconscious Yoon-ha.

Yoon-ha let out a rough breath.

The long-haired man smiled faintly and whispered to Yoon-ha.

“Really-. You’re-. not going to say anything?”

“Really-. Speak-.?”

“Quickly-. Speak. Speak-.”

“Baby-. Aren’t you having a hard time?”

Despite his persistent questions, Yoon-ha remained silent.

Then Lee Jong-won lowered the corners of his mouth.

B-class player during that time, Lee Jong-won.

He had a personality that made his body transparent.

Snap-!

Jongwon grabbed Yoonha’s hair and lifted her up.

“Coolook… …! Coolook!”

Yoon-ha struggled to spit out the water she had been holding in her mouth.

Jongwon continued to whisper while looking at Yoonha’s face.

“Baby. Just tell me about Man-kyung and get comfortable? Okay? Doesn’t it hurt?”

Yoon-ha weakly responded to those wicked words that whispered like a snake.

“… … Never say anything.”

Yoon Ha did not give in.

He will not betray the monarch who took him in, or the one who saved his life, even if it means suffering misfortune.

At that sight, Lee Jong-won frowned again.

“If you don’t say anything-. Are you really going to play?”

At that moment, Yoon-ha spat in Lee Jong-won’s eyes as if to ridicule the threat.

Thud, slurp.

Yoon-ha’s saliva flowed thickly down Jong-won’s cheekbone.

But Jongwon’s madness was more than Yoonha could have imagined.

“Puhhhh… … !”

Jongwon wiped Yoonha’s saliva with his palm and sucked it with his tongue.

“It’s sweet. Huh? Heh-.”

And then he burst out laughing.

Yoon-ha laughed in vain at his crazy appearance and let out a gasp of breath.

“Psycho… … you little shit… … .”

“I hear that sound often.”

Lee Jong-won was still laughing broadly when he suddenly slapped Yoon-ha on the cheek.

Crack-!

Then he brought his face closer to Yoon-ha again and asked with a grin.

“Is this psycho?”

After he finished speaking, he slapped Yoon-ha on the cheek again.

Crack-!

“Is this psycho?”

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Jongwon felt a desire to see his opponents, who had been incapacitated by him, being destroyed.

He attended the best art school in Korea and was a socially recognized artist, but he had a unique desire.

Because in the original world, you can’t kill people.

At first there were ants, lizards, hamsters, cats and dogs.

He has been feeling pleasure from cruelly killing his own pets in the shade.

But now the world has changed.

A world where it’s easier to kill a human than a dog.

Moreover, humans were creatures with intelligent abilities.

The sight of a higher being falling helplessly before one’s own hands.

Lee Jong-won said it was so good.

“Kyahahahahahaha!!! Hahahahahaha! Haaaaaak!!!”

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack-!

Jongwon continued to slap Yoonha’s cheek.

Hoping she would give in.

But Yoon-ha didn’t give in at all.

Then, Kim Yong-pyo, a B-class player who was chewing food nearby, said.

“The King told me not to hit you… … .”

Kim Yong-pyo muttered with concern, and Jong-won answered with a smile.

“… … Pig- quietly- I’m working, right?”

Then Kim Yong-pyo reacted immediately.

“You, you! I told you not to call me a pig!”

Thud, thud.

Kim Yong-pyo got up from his chair and swore at Lee Jong-won.

His belly fat would rise and fall steadily as he moved.

“Me, me! It’s my constitution!”

“Constitution- You like it? Idiot-. Go.”

“You, you, what do you know about me? What do you know about me?”

“I know everything.”

At that moment, Lee Jong-won grabbed Yoon-ha’s hair again.

Then he dragged Yoon-ha and stuck her head in the bathroom.

Bubbling, bubbling-.

Lee Jong-won continued to forcefully press down on Yoon-ha’s head while keeping it under water.

Yoon-ha, who was stuck in the water, trembled as if in pain.

In front of him, Jongwon smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

“Puhhihihi-! Heeheehihihi… …!!! Ah, it’s thrilling! It’s so- thrilling!!!”

A thumping sound and a bubbling sound.

The sound of falling water.

Yoon-ha’s blood dripped down the bathroom tiles.

But still.

Even at this moment, when I feel a strong desire for self-destruction, to the point where I want to die right now.

Ha Yoon-ha never, ever gave in.

Another two hours passed like that.

Jongwon’s temples became bloodshot at the sight of Yoonha’s determined appearance.

“Why… … ! Why! Why! Why!!! Why!!!!! If it were like this!!!! If it were like this!!! This, this!!! This isn’t a cliche!!!”

Jongwon took Ha Yoon-ha out of the bath and threw her on the bathroom floor.

Iron Fist-!

Then, Yoon-ha spat out the water that had entered her mouth as if in pain.

Lee Jong-won became mad and started shouting at them to leave the bathhouse.

“This… this… this… this is wrong!!!!! How many hours has it been!!!!!!!! F**k!!!!! It’s been 8 hours!!!!!! 8 hours!!!!!”

“… … Gulp! Gulp! Ugh… … .”

“This won’t do! Hurry up! Hurry up… … ! Ah, please! Aaaah… … !!!”

Jongwon covered his head and screamed in pain.

At that moment, Jong-won immediately approached Yoon-ha, who had collapsed, knelt down, and began to beg her with both hands.

“Please cry and beg for my life. Please. Please. This is. Not right. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Cry. Give in. Stop asking me to kill you. Okay? Please. Please. Please.”

“… … .”

Yoon-ha felt fear as she watched Jong-won wringing his hands in front of her.

What the hell is this guy?

What happens when the restrictions of the law are lifted and the shackles of suppressed ‘desire’ are released?

Yoon-ha was feeling this way as she looked at Lee Jong-won in front of her.

At first, he tortured her with violence, but when things didn’t go his way, he got down on his knees and begged.

I felt a sense of disconnect.

It was a situation that was completely incomprehensible.

How many people like this were there around us in the original world?

At that thought, Yoon-ha felt goosebumps.

“……no.”

It was scary.

The scene before my eyes was so disgusting, terrifying, and uncomfortable.

Honestly, Yoon-ha couldn’t understand people who ‘committed suicide’ while she was alive.

How can you end a life you’ve already started?

But now she could understand their feelings a little.

When the pain of living surpasses the fear of death.

You can choose death yourself.

Jong-won Lee, who had been sobbing with his forehead pressed against the floor, suddenly stopped crying and raised his head.

“… … Did you just say no?”

I laughed.

Jongwon.

And in front of the smiling Jongwon, Yoon-ha was holding back tears.

At that time, Jongwon slowly crawled towards Yoonha on his elbows like a cockroach.

“You just… said no, right?”

“Ugh… … .”

I got closer.

“Right? Right?? Right??? Huh!!!!”

Jongwon came closer and tried to grab Yoonha’s neck.

but.

Dub-ssuk-

Suddenly, a huge man appeared from behind, grabbed Jongwon, and threw him against the opposite wall.

Boom!

“… … .”

“… … .”

Jongwon was found bleeding while pinned against the bathroom wall.

And Yoon-ha looked up at the man who suddenly appeared.

A man with wounds all over his body.

One of his arms was missing.

He was Park Ji-soo’s bodyguard, A-class player Lee Hyeong-seung.

Lee Hyeong-seung pushed up his glasses and took a step to the side.

Then, the monarch of the time, Park Ji-su, walked next to him.

The monarch during that time was a woman.

She was wearing a black coat that went down to her ankles, a white turtleneck, dark jeans, and brown boots.

Anyone can tell he’s a college student and has a neat appearance.

Park Ji-soo frowned as if she was displeased, looking at Ha Yoon-ha.

“… … I told you, you idiot, not to touch me. You never listen to me.”

It was something I said to Lee Jong-won.

Kim Yong-pyo, who was nearby, came over and knelt before Park Ji-soo.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I stopped you.”

“Shut your mouth. Your breath stinks. And get out of here.”

“Yes… … Yes yes… … Yes!”

Hurry up!

Kim Yong-pyo got away from her while kneeling.

Park Ji-soo stood in front of Yoon-ha, who was panting.

Then he carefully squatted down and touched Yoon-ha’s face.

The wound was severe.

Jisoo asked lazily, supporting her chin with one hand and moving Yoonha’s chin back and forth with the other.

“What did Zion say?”

“……what?”

“They gave me a position in the power group? Or, what… …they gave me a lot of money? Or something else? What?”

“… … .”

Yoon-ha moved her head left and right following Ji-soo’s hand movements.

Park Ji-soo, who was looking at Yoon-ha’s face like that, threw some seductive words at her.

“I can give you more. Wealth? Fame? Or maybe a man? I can give you a new man every day. I’ll give you three every day until I find someone who looks exactly like your ideal type. Just younger guys. Or, what? Food? Is there anything you want to eat?”

“… … .”

“Tell me, why don’t you tell me? There must be something you want, right? Because Kang Shi-on said he would do something for you… … No, what did he do? Isn’t that why you’re keeping your mouth shut like a mute?”

“… … .”

“… … I’ll give you twice as much. No, three times as much. So-. Tell me. What do you want?”

* * *

What you want.

People always have something they want.

Of course, Ha Yoon-ha also had a dream.

But we already know that after the world is destroyed, such things are of no use.

Yoon-ha lost her family.

In round 1, when goblins barged in on the highway.

Yoon-ha, the only one in the family who had taken off her seatbelt, escaped.

The remaining family members who had been tied with Anzenbelts were eaten as they were.

After that, there was only wandering.

There was nothing I didn’t eat as I searched through the snowfield.

I ate whatever I could get my hands on.

They didn’t even hesitate to take down unidentified corpses.

They also stole food from vagabonds.

After continuing to wander like that, when my strength was exhausted, I had a premonition that death was coming.

What you want.

Yeah, there was only one.

Do you know that warm feeling?

The feeling of being in that moment and feeling warm and fuzzy in your heart.

Just go to school and sit on the city streets as the sun sets.

After chatting with friends, we parted ways at the bus stop.

When I get home, I wash up, eat, lie down on the bed, and giggle while watching YouTube.

Even though such a boring daily routine is repeated, there is warmth in it all.

And Zion was the monarch who brought warmth to her when she had lost everything.

He was different from any adult I’d ever met.

Kang Shi-on was the only one.

In this world, in this space, in this league.

He was the only adult.

The scene where I met him at that time was still vivid.

Yoon-ha’s body buried in the snow shook steadily, and soon her vision brightened again.

A man standing against the backdrop of the brightly pouring sunlight. He was reaching out to himself.

“… … .”

structure?

Am I being rescued?

I thought there was no more structure in this world.

Yoon-ha came out of the snow, led by Zion’s hand.

When Yoon-ha was held in Zion’s arms, she felt warm for some reason. That warmth was the feeling she had wanted but could not find, and eventually, had forgotten.

This is the first feeling I’ve felt since the world was destroyed.

That day, Yoon-ha saw hope in Zion.

Although it is unknown what kind of feelings Zion had when he rescued her, at least for Yoon-ha, it was a turning point in her life.

They say that all the good heroes in the world die and leave their names in history.

Of course, what do you think? I saw ‘Hope’.

* * *

“You said you’d give me the Earth. If you give me three times that… … I’ll think about it.”

“… … .”

Park Ji-soo’s eyelids fluttered when she heard Yoon-ha’s words.

… … You’re giving me the Earth?

What does it mean to give the world, let alone the Earth?

It was an incomprehensible answer.

But Park Ji-soo didn’t try to understand.

Stop.

After hearing that voice, Yoon Ha lowered her head.

The girl fainted.

Park Ji-soo remained silent in front of the fainted Yoon-ha.

He stood up from his seat, putting his hands in his coat pockets without saying a word.

The hem of the coat was damp.

Her subordinates in the bathhouse were silent.

The monarch’s silence was tantamount to anger, so no one could speak to him.

But at that moment, Lee Jong-won, who had been oblivious, approached me, giggling, holding a sashimi knife.

“O, Your Majesty-. Can I, uh, play with the child now-? Why did you tell me not to torture her-? There are so many games to play-. Dalgona game. And… … historical drama game… … Ah. So many new games.”

“… … .”

Park Ji-soo narrowed her eyes at Lee Jong-won’s words. Then she looked down at Ha Yoon-ha, who was lying on the side.

An unknown emotion was bubbling up from within me.

Soon she kicked and laughed and said,

“… … Leave me alone.”

“Yes, yes-?”

When Lee Jong-won asked again, Park Ji-soo frowned and spoke again.

“Don’t touch the child and leave him alone. Take him to my room. I’ll treat him first.”

“Why-. Why-? This kid is a fu*king bitch who stole all our information and sold it… … ? She’s a total bad kid… … ? A bad kid… … Should, should she be punished… … ? -What?!”

Phew-!

At that moment, when Lee Jong-won responded, Park Ji-soo immediately stuck a knife into his mouth.

It was a military dagger taken out from inside the coat.

Churruruk… … .

Lee Jong-won was coughing in pain, covered in blood.

Park Ji-soo said, looking at Lee Jong-won as if she was going to kill him.

“Hey, you fu*king idiot. Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you babbling back? Huh? Jongwon. You’re fine. Just don’t babble back. Got it?”

Nodding, nodding.

Lee Jong-won nodded vigorously with a knife stuck in his mouth.

At that moment, a warrior from the time entered the bathhouse and reported to the monarch.

“Your Majesty. All forces have been assembled.”

Park Ji-soo quietly looked down at Yoon-ha and then gave an order to Kim Yong-pyo.

“Come out and clean up here.”

“Yes… … Yes. Yes. Your Majesty.”

She followed the warrior outside again.

I could hear the sound of rain.

The rain that started falling in the morning continued to fall into the afternoon.

As she went up the stairs to the first floor, her pupils shook wildly.

My heart was pounding and my body was shaking like crazy.

Because you are afraid of death?

No, it’s exciting.

When Kang Shion’s army and his own army rush to kill each other.

And finally, when his own army completely crushed the forces of Kang Sion.

Kang Shi-on becomes his own. Just imagining it made my heart flutter.

And that girl.

Perhaps it is a child that Kang Shi-on cherishes.

So, you shouldn’t do anything that will offend Zion. Soon, she will become your man.

‘… … Haha. Hahahaha.’

The small thrill she had felt for the first time enveloped her whole body.

Park Ji-soo enjoyed this and left the underground bathhouse and went outside.

There were already warriors gathered there.
