The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 56

#Episode 56. The Trainer (2)

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The ogre rushed at me as if to kill me.

With every step he took, the building shook.

In this urgent situation, Jin Jae-hee remained calm.

Only Zion and Jaehee remained calm.

The workers who were standing far away were trembling or unable to even make eye contact.

Paaaaat-.

With a flash of light, a sword began to appear in Jin Jae-hee’s hand.

Her artifact was activated.

Jin Jae-hee jumped from the rooftop and fell into the snow.

And then he calmly walked out and faced the running ogre.

-Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The ogre’s desperate screams echoed throughout the city.

The arrow was still embedded in the bastard’s eye, and blood was flowing out.

“Phew.”

Jin Jae-hee approached the guy calmly and exhaled.

This was the place to prove it.

It was to prove to him in front of his eyes why he was the strongest and a regressor.

It wasn’t just Zion.

On the rooftop, the raid team was watching Jin Jae-hee with both eyes open.

The attention being poured on you.

Jin Jae-hee remained calm even amidst their attention.

Now the bastard was right in front of us.

-Kuaaaaaaaah!!!

The ogre swung the pole.

Boom, ugugugugug… … Boohoo-!

The utility pole that the bastard was swinging mercilessly scraped the exterior wall of the building and headed towards Jin Jae-hee.

But there was no way she’d hit that damn pole.

Phew! Phew!

Jin Jae-hee immediately sat down and avoided the ogre’s attack.

There was still no change in her expression.

-What the heck?!!?

Jin Jae-hee didn’t stop at avoiding it.

Whirl. Bam.

Jaehee climbed up on the electric pole and rushed at the guy in one breath.

I jumped onto the guy holding the pole and quickly got to his arms, triceps, and delts.

-Kuaaaaah!!!

The ogre tried to grab her, but it was no use.

Ogre’s speed couldn’t catch Jin Jae-hee.

After the artifact was opened, personal abilities were also opened.

Jin Jae-hee’s physical abilities could no longer be said to be those of a ‘normal’ human.

While Zion was cleaning up the inside of the police station and building a boiler, Jin Jae-hee devoted himself to personal training ‘as befitting a regressor’.

And a mere ogre was no match for the awakened regressor Jin Jae-hee.

Tadadada- Boom-!

Jin Jae-hee ran in one breath.

The workers who were looking at it could not help but gape.

6 meters above the ground.

It was because Jin Jae-hee was throwing her body towards the ugly face of the roaring bastard.

“… … .”

-Kuaaaaaaaah!!!!

She now held the sword in both hands.

And her blades did not stop until the ogre fell.

* * *

A woman stood at the jaws of a fallen monster.

Blood was gushing from the wounds of the mangled monster.

The blood spurting out from the bastard turned the surrounding eyes bright red.

Now the ogre could not move.

The Achilles tendon was completely severed, and the nerves throughout the body were severed.

It was just a blink, and only the arrow-pierced eyes moved.

Jin Jae-hee subdued the ogre in an instant.

And the workers who had been watching the whole scene from beginning to end were shuddering.

For some reason, they felt more fearful of Kang Si-on than Jin Jae-hee.

The one who controlled her, protected her, and was with her was Kang Shi-on.

Jin Jae-hee’s power was soon Kang Si-on’s power.

Boom.

Jin Jae-hee pulled the arrow out of the ogre’s eyeball.

And then he lit a cigarette calmly.

She had a habit of always smoking a cigarette after finishing her work.

In fact, I smoked cigarettes from time to time, but it was more of a habit.

The smoke from the exhaled cigarette dispersed before the ogre’s eyes.

When the work was over, Zion came down from the rooftop and approached Jin Jae-hee.

Actually, when I came face to face with an ogre, I couldn’t help but feel terrified.

The bastard’s skin twitched steadily.

Zion followed Jaehee and climbed up onto the ogre’s face.

The ogre’s body was slippery due to the blood it was spewing out.

Jin Jae-hee, who had gone up first, grabbed his hand.

Zion climbed onto the ogre’s body, looked into its eyes, and spoke.

“It was done in an instant.”

“huh.”

Jin Jae-hee answered, blowing out cigarette smoke.

Zion examined the bastard’s body more closely.

It was on a completely different level from the ogre I was looking at in the dark underground shopping mall, relying on the light of a flashlight.

You could see even the smallest details of their skin.

Even though the ogre had been mangled so much, he was still alive.

However, my body was completely subdued and I couldn’t move a single finger.

“What are you going to do with this now?”

Jin Jae-hee slowly approached him and asked him.

Zion was still examining the bastard’s eyes.

After that, he took a deep breath and answered.

“I plan to train you.”

“Training… … ?”

“After observing them for a few days, I realized that they are not beyond the category of animals. I realized that they are driven by instinct. I can definitely train them by using this fact.”

“Is that… possible?”

That was nonsense.

I’ve seen animals being tamed, but I’ve never seen a monster being tamed before.

At least in Jin Jae-hee’s previous life, and even Kang Si-on’s previous life, he had never tamed a monster.

But the Zion in front of me now was attempting something different from her previous life.

An attempt that no one would have thought of.

Jin Jae-hee asked with a little worry at the words that were hard to believe, but Zion was confident.

“Did the ancient people think they could tame tigers? No, they were just creatures that were hunted and eaten. However, tigers have been domesticated in modern times. It is still a dangerous task, but I don’t think it is impossible.”

After saying that, Zion took out a notebook from his pocket and looked through it.

These are the habits and behaviors of the ogre that I discovered while observing it over the past few days.

And Zion planned to instill ‘fear’ in him based on this observation journal.

“Is there a reason why it was set to this entity? It was an unusually small one.”

As she said, the ogre chosen by Zion was smaller than the other ogres.

But Zion was chosen because he was small.

“For animals, fear is a more important emotion than s*xual desire. They need to have fear to protect themselves. They need to be able to protect themselves in order to reproduce.”

“……horror.”

Jin Jae-hee followed Zion’s words and thought about them.

“And learning through fear works best for young animals.”

“no way……?”

“Yes. I will tame the baby ogre.”

Whirl-. Phew!

Zion held his sword in his hand and in one breath, he plunged it into the young ogre’s eyebrow.

-Kuaaaa …

Even though it was a baby ogre, its cries were so terrifying and loud that one could not dare to call it a baby.

At that moment, Jin Jae-hee glanced behind him and said.

“Wait a minute. If they’re babies… …their mother will come?”

“Why would I have dragged it here? Ogres never go more than a certain distance. Probably because they are leaving their habitat. This young ogre came here because of instinct. It ran here because its eyes were attacked.”

Zion now possessed a higher level of knowledge than the regressors.

“Then this place is… … ?”

“It’s outside the ogre habitat. The mother doesn’t come here.”

In front of him, Jin Jae-hee couldn’t hide his surprise.

Not only that, but so did all the workers around him.

Zion looked at the workers under the ogre.

Soon they nodded and went into the building on the other side, where they brought out a large plastic container.

And then they hoisted the plastic bucket over the ogre’s torso, squealing.

When we removed the cloth covering the plastic container, it was full of glass shards.

Jaehee’s pupils shook as he saw the shards of glass.

“no way……?”

“You’ve gotten a little quicker. I’ll wait until nighttime and start embedding shards of glass all over this little ogre’s body. I’ll only explain this once. Listen carefully.”

Zion’s explanation continued.

As his explanation continued, Jaehee’s pupils also shook.

In the evening the ogre does not move.

That’s why they release workers in the evening to embed glass shards all over the ogre’s body.

If that happens, the glass shards will sparkle during the day, and the Snow Nepenthes will react to the sparkle and bind the ogre’s entire body.

Even if the ogre’s body regenerates, there’s no way it’ll escape from here.

Because it is thoroughly bound by Nepenthes.

And the reason Zion chose the alley in the shape of the letter ‘ㄷ’ is also because of these shards of glass.

This place becomes completely dark at night, with not even moonlight shining through.

A shard of glass sparkles only when it reflects light.

That means Snow Nepenthes won’t come into this alley while I’m working at night.

So, if you work at night when there is no light, workers will be able to safely embed glass shards into the ogre’s body.

“With this, the capture is complete. My plan has come to an end. I will have to think about how to train this guy in the future. Do you understand?”

Zion looked back at Jaehee and asked.

“Uh. Yeah.”

She nodded.

Of course I understood what Zion said.

But what I couldn’t understand was how he could come up with this plan.

“First, we’ll clean up the inside of the police station. The operation has already begun.”

As Zion said, the operation to bring down the chief has already begun.

Choi Myeong-jun.

He has already started moving as ordered.

* * *

The work of destroying an organization from within.

If you think about it, it’s so simple.

The reason I have remained silent until now is because I have already been given sufficient rights and authority.

If I had to pick a second reason, it would be that I had to be concerned about the approval ratings of citizens within the police station.

Honestly, it wasn’t my concern whether the citizens froze to death or were eaten by monsters.

All I have to do is find my brother.

To me, other people are just tools to be used, I don’t share my feelings with them.

But to survive in this league, I needed their strength, and I had to harness their strength.

If I had suddenly moved to take the initiative, there would have been many variables.

There was no guarantee that an absolute majority of citizens would support me.

So I waited.

Until the right circumstances arise.

Police and citizens.

He created a rift between the two forces and waited for the citizens to feel the need for a ‘revolution’.

Two police officers were killed just then.

Yesterday, three police officers were killed.

Today, a police officer died.

What I ordered Choi Myeong-jun to do was to kill the police officer who was on reconnaissance overnight without anyone knowing.

Killing civilians was meaningless.

It made sense to kill the cop.

As police officers start dying one by one, the police force will assume that it is the work of citizens and will start to suppress them.

Their control became even more stringent when the police officer was killed as planned.

This is the beginning of a crack.

And the civil forces that could no longer endure the oppression will begin to rebel.

It could lead to revolution.

Today again, I ordered Choi Myung-jun to kill the police officer.

The police officer who died today may have been a loyal police officer who was living an upright life.

If we had met in society instead of at a time like now, we might have been fairly friendly.

But what’s the use of all that?

We are beasts now.

I’m a beast and I want to survive.

That desire is not only mine but also the citizens’.

That desire will eventually change everyone.

Early morning.

Citizens were protesting, crowding into the hallways even before the sun had risen.

Citizens who could no longer stand the police’s retaliatory oppression rose up.

“Release the arrest squad!!!”

“Liberate the citizens!!!”

“Release the arrest squad!!!”

“Liberate the citizens!!!”

“The police chief must explain!!!!!”

The hallway was filled with citizens, crowding together and pushing the police force back to the end of the hallway.

The police were armed and holding shields, blocking the hallway.

I was at the very back of the protest and just watched quietly.

As police officers began to die one by one, the police began to suppress the civilians with force, and thus the citizens’ patience reached its limit.

And today it happened.

“Hey you idiot! Stop pushing me!!!”

Whirik- Whew!!!!

An elderly man in the front row was hit by a baton wielded by a police officer suppressing the protest and fell to the ground.

dump-!

The old man fell to the ground, bleeding from his head, and died, and this incident made it clear to the citizens that ‘the police harm citizens’.

Since it happened right before your eyes, you can’t ignore it.

Citizens who were looking at the fallen old man all raised their heads and looked at the police officer.

It was a look full of murderous intent.

Many gazes in silence.

That was a truly terrifying moment.

“… … !”

The police officers in the front line, horrified at the sight, stepped back hesitantly.

Among this crowd, I was the only one who smiled faintly at the sight of the fallen old man.

Everything went according to plan.
