The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 19

#Episode 19. Siege (2)

I don’t know how to shoot a gun.

I don’t know anything about guns.

I also realized for the first time that guns have some weight.

I also realized for the first time that bullets are bigger than I thought.

I also learned for the first time that aiming a gun is harder than I thought.

So I had to be careful.

I chose to kill enemies up close and for sure rather than hitting them from afar.

I had to push myself to the very end before I could finally pull the trigger.

Taang-!

A heavy gunshot echoed throughout the store.

Ding-.

My ears suddenly stopped ringing.

It was the first time I realized that gunshots could be this loud.

When you see it in movies or dramas… … it’s really small.

But just one.

I knew one thing for sure.

A gun is a very powerful weapon that can most certainly kill an enemy.

I pulled the second trigger.

Taang-!

As expected, the head of the woman running towards her exploded with a heavy gunpowder sound.

Literally an explosion.

As the bullet passed through the brain, it struck the strong bone of the skull and shattered into several fragments.

It was a brutal scene.

But I no longer cared about such cruelty.

He turned the gun.

A man climbing over a barricade.

The moment he came face to face with the gun, he screamed like a child who had encountered a ghost.

“AAAAAHHHH!!!”

Taang!

I pulled the trigger to match the scream.

The man fell backwards after being shot in the heart.

This is the third one.

Seven bullets left.

There were still many enemies.

“Mr. Zion!”

At that moment, a sound was heard from the side.

I looked back at the place, holding onto my dizzy mind.

There, Kwon Kyung-soo ran towards me, covered in blood.

He shouted.

“Give me the gun! I can use it better! Trust me!”

He spoke urgently.

He was definitely a man who had been a non-commissioned officer in the Special Forces.

But even in my dazed state, I knew that I should never hand him a gun.

Because even while I was fighting the blue team, I kept thinking about the ‘black team’.

Eventually, two of the three kings die.

That’s the rule.

I ignored him and turned my gun forward again.

I will end this fight.

It is still too early to determine who the enemy king is.

But if I kill Kim Dong-gil, the situation will definitely turn in my favor.

chuck.

I turned my gun towards Kim Dong-gil.

The bastard’s torso entered the scope.

But soon the gun started shaking like crazy.

The distance from Kim Dong-gil was about 20m, not too far to shoot, but my current situation was worse than I thought.

He had a concussion after falling headfirst from the barricade, and blood continued to flow from the gap in his thigh where the knife was stuck.

I had a gut feeling at that moment.

Targeting him is a waste of bullets.

At that moment, the Blue Team members rushed at me, holding kitchen knives.

“This X baby !!!!”

‘Tch… …!’

I immediately turned my gun and aimed it at the people running ahead.

He fired two shots in quick succession.

Bang, taang!

The fourth bullet hit the enemy and knocked him down.

But the fifth bullet was sent flying into the air due to recoil.

I wish my gun had 100% accuracy, but that’s not the case because we’re human.

I aimed the sixth bullet straight at the blue team.

“Ewwh …

Two people rushed in one after another.

I fired the gun without hesitation.

Taang!

“Ugh!”

“evil!”

Two people were shot and fell over each other.

The person behind him appears to have been hit in the arm just in the nick of time.

But it’s a gun.

Just getting hit in the arm can render an enemy incapacitated.

The seventh bullet was prepared.

That was the moment.

“Ouch!!!”

Thud! Thud!

A middle-aged woman jumped out from next to me and pushed me down.

I fell sideways and lost my gun.

The gun rolled to a stop on the floor.

“Ahh… … Ugh… … !”

He let out a groan.

It was a burning pain in my thigh.

The wound on her thigh seemed to have widened further as she fell.

“Ugh… … Uh… … .”

My mind was hazy.

It hurt so much I thought I would pass out.

Meanwhile, the woman who had knocked me down climbed on top of me and started swinging her fists wildly.

“Die! Die! Die!”

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

A woman’s fist focused on her face.

The adult’s vicious punches were extremely painful.

I was desperate to cover my face with both hands.

Then the woman put my hand to her mouth and started biting it.

“Ugh… … Ugh, ugh, ugh… … ”

My hands were chewed as if they were meat.

Phew!

I swung my left fist and slammed it into the woman’s side.

“Ahhhh! Oh no!”

The woman screamed and clenched her teeth.

But I didn’t have enough strength to fight back again.

Because the concussion caused my whole body to lose strength.

“This fu*king foot!”

The woman crawled towards me and tried to put two fingers into my eyes.

I resisted strongly, but her fingers came almost close.

It was that moment when I tightly closed my eyes.

Phew!

“Ugh. Ugh.”

A spear slashed diagonally across her neck.

The woman fell down, slumped forward.

The one standing there holding the window was Lee Se-beom.

He too had been in several fierce battles.

He looked extremely tired and was breathing heavily.

Lee Se-beom extended his hand to me, and I took his hand and stood up.

Lee Se-beom spoke quietly, pointing his spear in the opposite direction.

“Your thighs.”

“It’s okay… … ! I’m okay… … .”

I hurriedly looked for the gun I had dropped.

Because it was dark, the chances of someone picking it up were slim, but at the same time, it was difficult for me to find it again.

But soon the gun was found again not far away.

I felt a moment of relief, and I limped over to grab the gun.

But it was someone else who picked up the gun first.

At that moment, my heart sank.

Even if you were on the same team, having someone else hold a gun was quite dangerous.

I looked up and saw the man holding the gun.

“… … .”

Lee Joo-yeon.

She was holding the gun and looking at it.

She too had a military background.

If it’s a gun, you’ve probably handled it a lot more than I have.

And my heart started beating fast.

Nearby, people were huddled together and fighting.

But even in such a noisy situation, my eyes were fixed solely on the gun.

I noted her next words.

At that moment, Lee Ju-yeon picked up the gun.

“Take good care of it.”

“… … .”

Phew-.

Lee Ju-yeon threw the gun at me without any hesitation.

The gun was thrown at me in a parabolic arc.

I just barely accepted it.

She came to me, holding the window.

Behind me, Lee Se-beom was standing back to back.

I stared at the gun, then looked at her.

Just now, her actions made me trust her.

As she approached, I immediately put the gun in her hand.

A little surprised, Lee Joo-yeon looked back at me.

“Can you hit one?”

“… … .”

I don’t know about guns.

Lee Ju-yeon knows guns better.

Lee Ju-yeon stared at me blankly, still holding the gun, then nodded.

I gave her a lot of advice.

“It has to be right.”

“Who is it?”

I pointed with my finger.

Lee Ju-yeon’s gaze followed my finger.

Opposite view.

People were fighting fiercely back and forth, obstructing the view, but there was one person who stood out in particular.

Wearing a suit and with messy hair.

Black horn-rimmed glasses and a square jaw.

Kim Dong-gil of the Blue Team.

“That guy.”

“… … I’ll try. But give me time to aim.”

Lee Ju-yeon held the pistol and aimed it forward.

It was a stable posture.

Unlike when I was doing it, she was holding the gun with both hands, and her eyes were focused solely on the sights.

She took a deep breath and held her breath.

During that time, Lee Se-beom and I had to protect her from external dangers.

I grabbed the spear she was holding and aimed it forward.

On the other side, Lee Se-beom was guarding.

“Are you okay?”

Lee Se-beom asked again, seeming worried.

I said.

“doesn’t care.”

I can endure this pain I feel right now.

I felt the blood flow every second, but I had to do it.

Everything is for the victory of the Hong team.

“You fu*king monster!”

The young man who was approaching suddenly started swearing.

He was breathing heavily and there was a clear cut on his left arm.

The man continued, almost sobbing.

“From the beginning… … Just… … ! Everyone except your king should have joined the Blue Team and survived… … . Why, why! Do we have to fight like this?”

“… … .”

She remained silent, focusing only on the man’s arm.

“Now… … I got a job, damn it! I could have treated my grandmother well! I… … I can’t die here. I can’t… … you fu*king monster… … .”

The man was shaking and trembling, but he was still holding the knife in his hand tightly.

You could come running to me at any time.

“If only you had captured your king… … . Everyone could have lived. Ahh… … .”

The man sobbed, but there was no sympathy.

As it turns out, he’s right.

I am the king of the red team.

If only I had given up on life and died, everyone on the Red Team and the Blue Team would have lived.

But I wanted to tell the man back what he had said.

I can’t die here.

More than this man who is a job seeker and a filial son who loves his grandmother very much.

More than a kindergarten teacher who always has a bright smile on her face while teaching children.

Than a righteous prosecutor who graduated from law school and puts criminals in prison.

Even though they are busy every day, they take time out on weekends to do volunteer work, more than any other college student… … !

I am my life.

My younger brother is more precious.

My brother is more precious to me than the precious lives and valuable lives of you whom I have met here and have never felt or seen.

He is right.

I am a monster.

From the moment I became king, I gave up being human.

No, maybe from that day on.

From the moment I sat down as the chief mourner in front of my parents’ memorial portrait, I could no longer be human.

That’s my fu*king life.

And I still can’t die.

“Eww!!!”

A young man who had just started working came running towards me, wielding a knife and crying.

I stabbed him with the spears I was holding in both hands.

Phew!

The spear that struck the young man under the chin went straight through his head.

The young man who had been stabbed in the window stopped in his tracks, holding back tears.

The young man’s blood flowed down the trembling window and touched his hand.

The blood was hotter than I thought.

dump!

The young man fell to the ground and muttered.

“Grandma… … Grandma… … Grandma… … Grandpa… … What… … .”

The young man died without being able to finish his words.

And soon the eighth gunshot was heard.

Taang-!

It was Lee Ju-yeon who pulled the trigger.

As soon as I heard the gunshot, I looked at Kim Dong-gil.

Kim Dong-gil continued to hit the Hong team’s people with an axe.

* * *

Knock knock! Knock knock!

Kim Dong-gil thought as he chopped the person down with an axe.

The cruel scenes we see in movies are actually cute.

Without even realizing what he was doing, he was only focused on killing the creatures in front of him.

“You can do it. You can do it… … !”

He kept saying those words as if they were a habit, and he looked around to find his next prey.

He swung his axe, wiping the blood from his glasses.

That was when.

Bam!

A bullet pierced his left arm and left side.

Then gunshots were heard.

Taang!

“… … !?”

Thud!

Kim Dong-gil staggered and fell down.

He lay face down on the floor, in pain.

I felt like I was out of breath and couldn’t breathe, and I couldn’t even think of breathing through my nose.

I felt my stomach burning, and soon red, hot blood began to soak the floor.

“Ahh… … Oh my… … Oh my… … .”

I couldn’t speak.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t even breathe, so no words came out.

As far as the eye can see, a woman who is already dead is lying on the ground with her eyes open.

People from both teams running around trampling over the woman’s corpse.

At that moment, a desperate thought crossed Kim Dong-gil’s mind.

‘Am I going to die?’

I had a premonition that death was coming.

My body couldn’t move, and my hands could barely move.

I was touching my stomach without even realizing it was painful, and then I put my finger into the hole.

My fingertips felt something slippery, like pig intestines.

When he took the finger back and held it in front of his eyes, there was bright red blood on it.

Kim Dong-gil hated blood since he was young.

I didn’t even like coffee.

In the midst of all that, it was mentally difficult to endure seeing blood.

If I’m going to die, I’d rather die quickly.

At this very moment, the feeling of dying was unbearably painful.

“Ahhh… … Aaaahhh… … Aaaahhhhh!!!”

Finally a loud noise came from his throat.

Kim Dong-gil barely managed to get up and crawled with his upper body, leaning against the collapsed display case.

‘I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I don’t want to die!’

Kim Dong-gil covered the wound with one hand.

But even if I tried to stop it, the blood would just spurt out even more forcefully.

Kim Dong-gil was desperate.

I pulled out the clothes of the man who had fallen next to me with a jerk.

Then he applied strong pressure to the wound.

‘Why should I die? I have no reason to die. I’m a socially successful person… …! If I’m going to die, some other fu*king person should die. Why should I die? Why should I… …!’

Kim Dong-gil applied strong pressure to the wound.

Then his heart-rending scream echoed throughout the shopping mall.

“AAAAAHHHHH!!!”

I was in a state of confusion.

My eyes rolled back and I felt like I was going to faint at any moment.

But Kim Dong-gil mustered superhuman strength from his desperate desire to ‘live.’

All I have to do is survive for now.

Just now.

If I can just endure the current situation, I can get out of here again.

Go out, go out.

I absolutely have to get out of this hellish shopping mall.

“Ahh!”

“Ugh!”

“Whoa!”

At that moment, screams erupted one after another.

Kim Dong-gil laughed like a crazy person while listening to those screams.

‘Look! Look! We won. We won.’

Until then, Kim Dong-gil’s gaze was still fixed on his own wounds.

Kim Dong-gil gathered the oozing blood with his hand and put it back into the wound.

I just put in the things that kept flowing out like that.

Later, even dirty, blood-stained clothes were put into the wounds.

Bam.

At that moment, something sharp touched his chin.

“Ha… … haaaa… … haa… … ?”

Kim Dong-gil raised his head, shaking.

There.

There was Jin Jae-hee holding a sword.

Her blade slowly rose and lifted Kim Dong-gil’s chin.

Jin Jae-hee spoke in a low tone.

“It’s over. Stop resisting.”

“Haa… … Haa… … .”

Kim Dong-gil looked around in that state.

The screaming sound that has been heard since earlier.

All those screams were from the Blue Team.

They were all lying on the floor, cut by swords.

From the escalator entrance on the other side to here, it was like dominoes had fallen.

Jin Jae-hee killed them all.

And the surviving soldiers of the Hong team were looking at Kim Dong-gil, gasping for breath.

Jin Jae-hee spoke coldly about Kim Dong-gil.

“Where is your king?”
