The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 6

#Episode 6. Reunion (1)

Forty-five… …

Forty-six… …

Sigh!

The blade sliced through the goblin’s neck.

The goblin’s neck spun around in the air before hitting the mannequin and falling down.

There were only three objects in the place she passed by.

Goblin’s neck.

Goblin’s torso.

And human corpses.

Jaehee walked between them.

Crunch!

Jaehee only cut off the goblin’s head.

In her previous life, she had caught hundreds of goblins.

I also caught thousands of monsters of a higher class than goblins.

The sense of the sword, its rotation, its movement, its draw, its boundaries, its stance, its counterattack.

She had a perfect grasp of how and by what means to strike the enemy in order to kill him with certainty.

As a swordsman, she was already at the top.

Jin Jae-hee quickly struck out.

From the 2nd underground parking lot to the 6th floor above ground.

I killed every single monster that was left.

Her whole body was already stained with blood.

The arm holding the sword was shaking slightly, and blood was flowing from the wound on his leg where the blade had scratched him.

At this time, her body was not fully developed as her player abilities had not yet been unlocked.

Even just a little bit of dynamic movement put a lot of strain on my body.

But there was no rest.

Jaehee looked towards the escalator.

Now on the 7th floor.

It took quite a bit of energy to get here.

The remaining shopping mall had five floors.

“Phew… … .”

Jaehee took a deep breath and headed toward the store on the other side.

But there were already two people looking at him.

One of the two was a familiar face.

‘… … That’s right. That person also said that he started here with Zion.’

A slightly welcome face.

Jaehee turned around, breathing heavily.

She knew her past life, so she could know.

He, with his familiar face, will not die here.

Because I am with Zion.

Of course, the person next to him would die, but it didn’t matter.

She turned around and started climbing back up to the seventh floor.

* * *

6th floor, sports specialty store.

“Kkuueek… … ! Eek… … .”

The goblin’s face was completely crushed by the main character’s kick.

The protagonist thought deeply about the fallen goblin and then kicked its corpse away with his foot.

Then he picked up the chocolate bar inside the counter and opened the bag.

Thud.

It was a small snack prepared by the staff for the children.

“Sebeom. Are you hurt?”

The protagonist looked around while chewing on a chocolate bar and asked.

There, her younger brother, Lee Se-beom, was hitting a goblin’s head with a baseball bat.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The goblin fell limply, gasping for breath.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the protagonist.

Lee Se-beom frowned at the sight of his older sister biting into a chocolate bar in the midst of this chaos.

“… … Sister. Is that something you can put in your mouth right now?”

“… … Ah, you’re nagging again. When you lose stamina, you need to replenish it, right? Ugh, this is why you’re called a freeloader. You have to march to know.”

Lee Ju-yeon was a veteran of the 707th Special Mission Brigade.

Lee Se-beom, who was looking at his older sister like that, put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply.

“… … No. Life is on the line and there are corpses everywhere. How can you just sit around sucking on a chocolate bar? Sister. Why are you so stupid?”

“… … It’s not stupid. It’s pure. Pure.”

Lee Joo-yeon glared at her younger sister, biting into the chocolate bar.

Then Lee Se-beom became even more angry.

“That’s what you call an idiot. Haa-. I’m going crazy. Really, is our DNA the same?”

Sebeom shook his head and passed Jooyeon.

The protagonist frowned at the words of that younger brother, ‘that bastard.’

And then I just kicked his butt.

Phew- thud!

“Is that something you should say to your sister?”

Sebeom looked back at Jooyeon without showing any sign of being in pain.

“Oh. That’s something to say.”

The protagonist frowned once and turned to the opposite corner.

There was a goblin there, still not completely dead, trembling.

Without even thinking about it, the protagonist trampled the monster’s face with his walker.

Every time she stomped, green blood spurted everywhere.

Sebeom, who was watching the scene, took a deep breath and touched his forehead.

Sebeom now had to admit that the world was going crazy.

‘shit…….’

There was nothing visible outside the window because of the black fog.

Monsters were rushing in without knowing the external or internal situation.

In the midst of all this, monsters that looked like something out of a fantasy movie, or more precisely, monsters that appeared in The Lord of the Rings that I watched as a child, appeared in droves.

And those goblins killed and ate humans.

First of all, I had to ensure the safety of my sister and myself.

Because for humans, securing the right to survival is the top priority in extreme situations.

‘… … We need to create a group.’

When danger looms outside, it is human nature to form groups.

And Lee Se-beom was true to that instinct.

Siblings Lee Se-beom and Lee Joo-yeon needed a partner to overcome this adversity together.

But most people died at the hands of monsters, and some who survived went mad and were left shivering in a corner.

It was the moment when Sebeom got up from his seat and picked up his bag.

I heard footsteps.

At the same time, the screams of monsters were heard.

“Kyaaaaah!”

dump!

I thought I heard something fall, and then I saw a woman walking towards the center.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Shh, shh! Be quiet.”

Lee Se-beom ordered the protagonist to close his mouth and then bent down to examine the woman.

The woman was holding a sword and killed several goblins in one breath.

And then he walked forward calmly.

Sebeom thought about that woman.

‘… … It’s so natural. I can’t believe I’m the one who just encountered this today.’

It felt natural, as if he had been doing this for a long time.

In this situation, such composure was impossible.

The woman looked back at Sebeom and Jooyeon, then turned around and headed to the 7th floor.

‘……Shit.’

Hot-.

Sebeom bit his fingernails.

It was a habit that came out whenever he was worried.

Lee Se-beom was conflicted.

She is dangerous.

It was strong at the same time.

But Sebeom’s worries didn’t last long.

“Follow me, sister.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Lee Se-beom moved as his instincts led him.

Not only the siblings, but I don’t think anyone here right now has that level of adaptability.

And only those people will survive in this shopping mall.

* * *

7th floor, children’s specialty store.

I looked at the woman.

The woman was also looking at me.

The woman’s eyes were unfocused.

And I could tell from the faint panting that she was now exhausted.

However, I couldn’t tell if that woman’s gaze was fixed on me among all these people.

chance?

I don’t believe in coincidences.

Every event has a reason and a course of events.

If you simply came down here and found people, they would look around or give you a look of relief.

But the woman was only staring at me.

As if he had known me for a very long time.

“Miss! Come in here! Quickly!”

Kwon Kyung-soo shouted at the woman.

The woman looked at Kwon Kyung-soo again.

And then slowly approached the barricade.

Gggggggg… … .

The sound of her blade being dragged across the mall floor was sharp.

“Miss. Are you, are you okay? The blood… …!”

Kwon Kyung-soo was worried about the blood that was all over the woman’s body.

He extended his hand to the woman.

It seemed that he had judged that his body was too tired to get over the barricade.

But the woman quickly climbed up the barricade and climbed inside.

He had great athletic ability.

Inside the barricade, she muttered.

“… … Even if the goblin is neutralized, we must make sure that it is dead.”

Phew!

Suddenly, she stabbed the monster, which was lying on the ground, in the neck with her knife.

A girl nearby hesitated a little in surprise.

I frowned at that sight.

The monster that was thought to be dead for sure trembled and died.

The woman stabbed the monsters that had fallen one after another.

Kwon Kyung-soo, who had been quietly watching the scene, stepped forward and began to help the woman stab the monster again.

That moment.

Several monsters that were thought to be dead slowly rose up and attacked the people.

“Kyaaaaah!!!”

“Keeeeeek!!!”

The monster lunged at the nearby man, aiming its sharp claws.

The man seemed embarrassed and took a step back.

And Jin Jae-hee raised his sword and cut down the two monsters that were rushing at him in one breath.

My neck is cut off.

The two fallen heads rolled around and stopped in front of a man.

“Ugh… …! Ugh!”

The man who faced it vomited.

Some of them seemed unable to bear the bitterness.

“Goblins have such great regenerative abilities that beheading them is the only way to completely incapacitate them.”

The woman muttered.

The woman wasn’t talking about anyone specifically, but for some reason it seemed like she was talking about me.

Kwon Kyung-soo, who was nearby, asked her.

“Oh, you’re a goblin after all. You look like something out of a novel. Right?”

“huh.”

The woman’s words had no power.

He also seemed unwilling to speak.

Her expression did not change, as if she were a mannequin or a robot, not moving according to human will.

She had such a beautiful appearance, and her calm demeanor was different from that of ordinary people.

None of the fears or mental anxieties that a person would naturally experience were found in her.

The uncanny valley theory.

The theory that when a human sees a non-human being, the more similar it is to a human, the more favorable the feeling becomes, but when it reaches a certain level, it actually feels unpleasant.

I felt rather uncomfortable looking at her.

I watched her closely.

No, it was more like surveillance.

Several minutes passed.

I was still holding the wheat stick and watching the woman.

Then the woman finally managed to kill the last remaining monster named Goblin.

Phew-!

Green blood spurted everywhere.

Finally, silence came.

The woman was covered in goblin blood, and her breathing was a little ragged.

And then came back again.

To where the people are.

The woman sat down on one side of the barricade, sweeping her hair, which was soaked with blood and sweat.

Composure in action.

Accustomed to killing.

Everything was natural.

I don’t know which floor she came from, but she stayed there until the 7th floor as if this was her final destination.

I came a little closer.

“I know. About monsters.”

It was something I tried.

Above all, her behavior made no sense.

In a situation where ‘life’ is at stake, the woman’s actions may be seen as redemptive, but I had to read into her thoughts at a higher level.

Maybe it’s because the woman felt like an inhuman being like K before this tutorial started.

“I just experienced it.”

The woman’s answer was simple and clear.

The answer was also strange.

Experience, huh?

I moved a little closer and asked again.

“What floor are you from?”

Since she didn’t use honorifics, I quickly cut my speech short.

She didn’t care either.

“B2.”

“From there to here?”

“huh.”

The woman took a cigarette out of her pocket and lit one.

Chick, chick.

I tried to light the lighter a few times, but it didn’t work very well.

The woman waved the lighter in her hand two or three times and then lit a cigarette.

If you have someone with this level of adaptability, you can become a good colleague along with Kwon Kyung-soo.

One thing that was a concern was that the woman was carrying a real sword.

Real sword.

In Korea, unless you are in a specific profession, it is a unique weapon to have.

The woman was holding a real sword inside the shopping mall.

And he was able to handle the sword freely.

At the moment, she was quite a force to be reckoned with in terms of fighting prowess.

But what is she thinking?

I couldn’t figure out what purpose it had.

If it goes against my purpose.

I will pull out my gun without hesitation.

But her next words convinced me.

The woman spoke to me cautiously, still smoking a cigarette.

“Your brother. I actually tried to find him, but I couldn’t.”

The woman was talking to me.

I couldn’t quite figure out what that meant to me.

Even though I just saw the girl today, I was annoyed that she was ‘trying’ to find my brother.

So, did you know this would happen from the beginning?

With those thoughts, my heart sank.

The woman in front of me knows my sister.

Besides, he spoke about his younger brother first.

The woman put down the bag she was carrying and took out the knives inside.

Among them were simple medical supplies.

The woman who showed these to me continued speaking.

“Take care of it. We’re going to be dealing with humans here, not monsters.”

Then a student approached the girl and asked her cautiously.

“What do you mean, I have to deal with other people? What do you mean?”

The student’s voice was trembling, and everyone there was looking at the woman.

The woman zipped up her bag and glanced at the ceiling.

“They’re killing us. So that we don’t die.”

Meaningful words.

And the woman who said those words carefully turned her head.

“… … !”

“omg……!”

Everyone was surprised by my actions.

The woman simply turned her head and looked at her temple.

Crunch. Crunch.

I pulled the trigger.

One bullet was loaded.

I asked, still pointing the pistol at her temple.

“Your little brother?”

In the cold, settled atmosphere, the woman raised her eyes and looked at me.

I asked again, putting my finger inside the trigger groove.

“How do you know I have a younger brother?”
