The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 188

Episode 188. Turmoil (1)

Jin Jae-hee's eyes shook violently.

Chae Chae-yeon, who had trapped Kang Si-on inside the mushroom, raised the corners of her lips slightly.

“Oh, really? Was this guy the one who monopolized the cigarettes and alcohol? Although Ha Yoon-ha was the emperor, he said he was waiting for the hero. Now that the hero has returned, the leadership of Man-gyeong must have changed. Oh, that’s right. This guy did it. Then maybe Jun-ho will forgive me?”

At that moment, Jin Jae-hee quickly approached Chae Chae-yeon and swung the holy sword to cut her down.

Seo- Ugh!

Chae Chae-yeon's body was instantly split in two.

Jin Jae-hee said.

“Who dares forgive whom?”

Chae Chae-yeon opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Then he pursed his lips and exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow. It’s so fast. I can’t even keep up with it with my eyes.”

Her body split in two and scattered into spores. It was just her clone.

Chae Chae-yeon was still standing behind Jin Jae-hee.

“Whoa-. Calm down. I’m not trying to hurt you. Are you a bodyguard?”

Chae Chae-yeon said that with a smile, but Jin Jae-hee couldn't smile at all.

She has lost her mind now.

Kang Shi-on was kidnapped right before his eyes, so he couldn't control his emotions.

She glared at Chae Chae-yeon in front of her as if she was going to kill her.

His eyes were more angry than ever.

Chae Chae-yeon smiled and said to her.

“Let’s not get along, shall we?”

But Jin Jae-hee had no intention of answering her.

“Give it back.”

Jin Jae-hee's eyes were sharply torn open, and Chae Chae-yeon snickered.

“Is Kang Shi-on yours? Why are you so upset?”

“I won’t tell you twice.”

“Ah-, be quiet. Be quiet. Why are you talking like this-.”

Before Chae Chae-yeon's voice could even end, her body was torn in two again.

But as before, it was just her clone.

When Jin Jae-hee didn't listen to her at all, Chae Chae-yeon frowned.

“Ah-. You’re not even a monkey! You run at me like you’re horny just by looking at a banana? I’m talking about-.”

Even while saying that, Jin Jae-hee stabbed Chae Chae-yeon.

Sigh!

Now Chae Chae-yeon calmed down her voice, which was rising to the top of her head with anger.

“You’re the type that doesn’t communicate through words, are you? Bitch. I’m out.”

Tamar-!

Chae Chae-yeon clasped her hands together.

“You started first?”

That moment.

Giant mushrooms began to grow throughout the land that made up this space.

Shushu shushushut!

Mushrooms filled this battlefield, even breaking through the asphalt.

In the battlefield, there were not only Jin Jae-hee and Chae Chae-yeon, but also Man-gyeong's soldiers and Metro's hunters.

They all stopped fighting for a moment, mesmerized by the mushrooms that appeared around them.

Chae Chae-yeon frowned.

“I’m easy. Right? Then I’ll make it not easy for you.”

The moment Chae Chae-yeon let go of her clasped hands.

Pushuuu… … .

Artifact ability has been activated.

Purple spores began to fly from the mushrooms poking through the asphalt.

Some mushrooms even burst spores out of their caps like fountains.

Jin Jae-hee looked at the spores and quickly covered his nose and mouth with his sleeve.

'poison……?'

A soldier stood still and inhaled the purple spores.

At that moment, the soldier let out a single scream.

“Cock!”

The soldier began to age rapidly.

Although he was quite a young man, he became wrinkled and saggy, and then dried up and died.

In the meantime, the hunters were fine.

Because they were wearing gas masks.

Jin Jae-hee, who was watching the scene, flew into the sky to avoid the spores.

But the spores were slowly spreading across the battlefield.

Chae Chae-yeon, who was inside the spore, looked up at the sky and shouted.

“X-year. Are you ready to have a chat now?! Do you think I’m not doing it because I can’t attack anyone?”

Chae Chae-yeon spat on the floor and approached the spores that were imprisoning Kang Si-on.

“Okay. Okay. Let’s see if there’s a present for you guys.”

Anyway, that woman named Jin Jae-hee will not be able to come down here.

The spores spread here are so poisonous that even just inhaling them will kill you.

Even the players couldn't resist Chae Chae-yeon's poison.

Chae Chae-yeon gently placed her hand on the mushroom pillar where Kang Si-on was trapped.

At that moment, the mushroom pillar split apart and Kang Shi-on's figure was revealed.

“Ah… … How happy she would be. Because she helped me meet the brother of my dreams. Now she won’t be able to get away from me.”

Chae Chae-yeon caressed Kang Si-on’s cheek.

On Kang Si-on’s face, Kang Jun-ho’s face was faintly visible.

Of course, in Chae Chae-yeon's eyes, Kang Jun-ho was much more handsome and taller.

“Junho praised oppa until his mouth was dry. But when you see him in person, he’s not that great… … Well, anyway, it’s definitely the Kang Si-on I saw in the picture.”

Chae Chae-yeon put her hand back and closed the mushroom pillar.

But before the mushroom column closes completely.

Phew!

Kang Shi-on suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand.

“?!”

“… … !”

Zion's hand grabbed Chae Chae-yeon's neck.

And then Zion slowly emerged from the mushroom pillar and attacked her.

The two immediately fell backwards.

Damn!

Kang Shi-on climbed on top of her body, still strangling her.

“That cheeky bitch… … .”

At that moment, the lines formed around Kang Shi-on began to rotate rapidly.

As if a fan was spinning.

Boom- Boom- Boom-.

The spores were carried in all directions by the wind caused by the sun.

Chae Chae-yeon was grabbed by the neck by Kang Si-on and started to cry.

Kang Si-on said to Chae Chae-yeon, frowning.

“… … Where are you touching?”

That moment.

Jin Jae-hee fell from the sky without missing the opportunity to fly away.

And then he immediately stabbed the holy sword into Chae Chae-yeon's forehead.

The moment the holy sword was thrust into Chae Chae-yeon's forehead, the ground also completely collapsed.

Two-bang!

Woof woof!

A huge sinkhole opened up here, and everything was sucked into it.

Jin Jae-hee hugged Kang Si-on and flew away from the scene.

The two looked down at the scene where dust was rising.

There was no movement from Chae Chae-yeon.

The spores were also all scattered by Kang Sion.

All that remained on the battlefield were giant sinkholes and the twisted corpses of soldiers.

Kang Si-on spoke to Jin Jae-hee, who was holding him.

“Give it to me.”

"huh."

Kang Shi-on broke free from her embrace and floated into the air.

He coughed once or twice and looked around.

Our forces suffered significant damage due to Chae Chae-yeon's attack.

The poison attack only affected Man-Gyeong's soldiers, excluding Hunters wearing gas masks.

There was also the complacency of Zion not being wary of outsiders from the beginning.

Of course, it is true that it is not easy to be wary of outsiders in the midst of turmoil.

But more than that, what was more shocking to Kang Si-on was hearing his younger brother Jun-ho's story.

At that moment, Chae Chae-yeon appeared in the thick dust.

She kept moaning and mumbling.

“Ah… … This definitely hurts. It’s scary. Gulp! Gulp!”

However, Jin Jae-hee subdued Chae Chae-yeon, who had barely managed to get up, in one breath and threw her to the ground again.

Kang Si-on followed Jin Jae-hee down to the ground and asked Chae Chae-yeon.

“Junho… …what did you say?”

Then, Chae Chae-yeon, who was being held by Jin Jae-hee's grasp, said with a smile.

“You’re finally starting to understand. Huh? Huh? Oh, my little brother is waiting for me. My little brother. Kang Jun-ho. Haha. Or, what? Didn’t you even care about your little brother?”

Jin Jae-hee tightened his grip on Chae Chae-yeon’s unexpected provocation.

Kwuuuuuk… … .

Chae Chae-yeon let out a breath as if in pain, then smiled again.

“Ugh! Oh, I understand. I understand. Let’s put our hands down and talk.”

“Speak in this condition.”

At that moment, Zion approached them and grabbed Jin Jae-hee's wrist to stop him.

“Wait. Not right now.”

After a brief commotion due to the spores, the hunters regrouped and approached again.

The sudden change required a reorganization.

Gunshots began to ring out again, and Kang Shi-on began to gather the spheres together and trap Chae Chae-yeon.

Kang Shi-on judged the situation rationally and gave an order.

“Let’s go back to the university first. We lost too many troops.”

In response to Zion's words, Jin Jae-hee summoned two holy swords and answered.

“I’ll cover you. Take your troops and retreat first.”

She grabbed two holy swords and rushed straight towards the hunters.

* * *

Choaaaak-!

I sprinkled hot water on Chae Chae Yeon.

She frowned slightly, then smiled.

“It’s refreshing. Ahaha. My mind has been refreshed.”

Chae Chae-yeon was tied to a tree.

His wrists were shackled with red gemstones, and his entire body was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

Still, Kang Shi-on never sympathized.

This was the price paid for massacring Man-Gyeong's soldiers with poison gas.

Originally, he should have been executed immediately, but Kang Shi-on was left alive.

Because there was information that I needed to know.

He grabbed Chae Chae-yeon by the neck and lifted her up.

“Just answer the questions I ask. Where are you from? What is your brother talking about?”

“You shouldn’t be doing this to me… … .”

Even though she was bleeding, Chae Chae-yeon kept smiling.

She looked at Kang Shi-on strangely.

“I’m Junho’s girlfriend. Even though he’s my older brother… … . Do you think Junho would just stay still?”

"what?"

Kang Shi-on frowned.

“And what did I do… … . Is it really that important that a few soldiers die… … . Besides, I clearly said that we should talk things out from the beginning.”

“… … You tried to kidnap me.”

“I protected you! I did the work that your bodyguard couldn’t do… Phehe… … . Ah, this is really disappointing. I had high hopes because you said he was Junho’s older brother.”

Jin Jae-hee bit his lower lip hard at Chae Chae-yeon's words.

Chae Chae-yeon opened her eyes slightly and said.

“Oppa… … Junho has been looking for you so desperately. For the past five years… … Where have you been hiding so well that you’ve finally shown up?”

“Where was Junho?”

“Junho was always in Suwon. He said he was going to find oppa, but well. He ended up living in Suwon… … . Ah, ah. It’s bitter.”

Chae Chae-yeon moved around as if her posture was uncomfortable.

The chains clanked loudly every time she moved.

Chae Chae-yeon turned her cloudy eyes and looked at Jin Jae-hee.

“But-. Should I say that the bodyguard is a bit emotional? Or should I say that he is thoughtless? Of course, it is my fault for locking up Shion oppa right away… … . No, honestly, I am not a soldier. What does it matter whether I lock him up or not? Besides, you don’t even know what my purpose is and you keep barging in and cutting me down without any reason… … . Ask me before you act! Bodyguard.”

Chae Chae-yeon's eyes turned to Kang Si-on.

“Junho would never have done that.”

The question was strange.

Junho would never have done that.

When Chae Chae-yeon compared Kang Jun-ho and Jin Jae-hee, it was Kang Si-on who felt her heart flutter.

Jin Jae-hee got angry and shouted at her.

“Shut up. What do you know… …!”

But at that moment, Kang Si-on cut off Jin Jae-hee's words and shouted.

"you also!"

When he shouted, Jin Jae-hee was startled.

It was the first time.

What Zion shouted at Jaehee was.

He looked back at Jin Jae-hee and said.

“… … You need to be a little more rational. Don’t get emotional all the time.”

When he shouted again, Jin Jae-hee shrugged her shoulders.

Zion turned his head again to face Chae Chae-yeon, but he was looking at Jae-hee out of the corner of his eye.

Chae Chae-yeon, who was looking between the two, smiled secretly.

Kang Si-on now looked at Chae Chae-yeon again and asked.

“Is there a way to contact Suwon directly?”

“Where is that? I have to go there myself.”

“Are you saying you’re going straight through the dense forest?”

“Yes. Yes~ As you know, my power is Poison, so I am immune to the forest’s poison. So~ let me go. You’ll keep the fact that you tortured me a secret. Yes?”

“I can’t let you go. You killed my men, and you must pay the price.”

“Junho would definitely hate it… … .”

Kang Shi-on's hands began to tremble slightly.

Jin Jae-hee, who was sensitive to even the smallest changes in his life, noticed this.

Kang Shi-on was a strong man in front of any being, but he became weak only in front of his younger brother.

Kang Si-on wanted to take care of Kang Jun-ho.

Because Chae Chae-yeon could really be Kang Jun-ho's lover.

Kang Shi-on was quite cautious.

More than any choice I've made in the last league.

And Jin Jae-hee also waited with bated breath for Kang Si-on's choice.

This was a crossroads.

At this moment, Kang Shi-on's feelings were the most important.

Kang Shi-on's options were narrowed down.

Even though Chae Chae-yeon is a subordinate, will she be punished for killing Man-gyeong's soldier?

Or, should I release Chae Chae-yeon and bring Kang Jun-ho to Man-gyeong?

To be honest, Jin Jae-hee desperately hoped that Kang Si-on would choose the former.

A nation is not run by personal feelings.

If emotions are involved in conducting public affairs, it is sure to lead to failure.

Chae Chae-yeon was someone who deserved to be punished.

That's why Jin Jae-hee expected Kang Si-on to make a wise choice.

After a long silence, Zion opened his mouth.
