Chapter Index

    When I came to my senses, it felt like quite a bit of time had passed.

    I tried to pull myself out of the wet puddle of blood.

    But I couldn’t. Because the blade pierced my stomach, I couldn’t even move.

    Even though I applied a little force, I felt a tremendous amount of pain.

    Looking at it now, it seemed like I barely managed to avoid the spine.

    Still, there is strength under the legs.

    “… ”

    I looked at the blade blankly.

    The blades seemed to protrude slightly downward through the right side of my abdomen.

    In addition, it was made in a structure that could not be easily removed, so it seemed like all the organs inside would be damaged if it was pulled out.

    What if I get help from someone else and take them out one by one?

    It was clear that if I took it out on my own, it would definitely be in a near-dead state.

    I thought for a moment.

    I had a weak confidence that I wouldn’t die anyway.

    My heart was pounding. My vision was spinning.

    I saw Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon fighting for me in front.

    Both of them were desperately rushing towards the count, but it seemed like they couldn’t deal with him properly.

    That’s because the person who deserves attention is lying here.

    No matter how the two of us deal with each other, the situation will not be any better than before.

    I thought for a moment and then smiled.

    I couldn’t hesitate. If I hesitate, those two will die.

    So, without hesitation, I grabbed the blades and pulled them out.

    I felt the pain of something sharp cutting into my insides.

    But I couldn’t lose my mind yet.

    At least after pulling out all the blades. Then I felt like I had to pass out for my body to regenerate.

    I slowly pulled out all the blades.

    The pieces of meat that came out of me were pierced by the blade.

    The count looked at me as if he had never expected that to happen.

    “Mr. Yeji!!!”

    “You crazy bitch!”

    Kang Si-woo and Noh Chang-hoon looked at me at the same time.

    I absentmindedly raised my hand and pointed at the count.

    Since you can play it anyway, I meant not to worry about it.

    But something was strange.

    It seemed like it was definitely regenerating, but the strength was slowly disappearing starting from the tips of my fingers.

    Gradually, it became difficult to keep my body still, and even when I opened my eyes, I could not see clearly.

    Then suddenly his body tilted to the side.

    It was clear that he probably collapsed due to lack of strength.

    Then it had to happen. I grabbed the nearby baton, tried to get up, but fell down again.

    And then a flash of light appeared.

    Memories flowed by in a daze. I ate Budaejjigae. I encountered a nocturnal mutant.

    Time gradually rewound. I was on an island, then in the West.

    I was flirting with Noh Chang-hoon at the military base, and ended up on campus.

    I worked while eating the food Kang Si-woo gave me, and I also trembled after being stabbed with a knife.

    Then I got the Baron and met Noh Chang-hoon.

    Time continued to quickly rewind.

    Before I knew it, I had picked up a baseball bat.

    Then, after opening the front door, he hit the head of the zombie student next door.

    The scene moved further back. I was staring blankly in the mirror in the bathroom.

    He was complaining that he couldn’t tell if he had silver hair or white hair, and was examining his red eyes.

    At some point, the memory of complaining that my body was not healthy was rewound.

    And there was a gap.

    With a crackling sound, scenes I didn’t want to remember passed by.

    The next memory that appeared was not that of Park Jeong-heum.

    A girl who I thought looked just like me appeared.

    The female student was attending college and was close with her younger brother.

    The female student was attending high school and taking care of her younger brother who had gone astray.

    The girl was in middle school and made fun of her younger brother, who was boasting about being in the upper grades of elementary school.

    The girl went to elementary school and went to school with her younger brother.

    The female student went to kindergarten and showed off her newborn baby brother to everyone in the neighborhood.

    I could tell.

    This was not my memory, but the memory of the body I entered.

    Before I knew it, the memories had moved to the officetel.

    I was holding the bloodied man with my mouth open in a daze.

    Man, no. Hyunseok Lee is my name. He called out Yeji Lee and firmly told her to come to her senses.

    Then, he comforted me while I was crying while wearing the headset, and apologized for yelling at me.

    I apologized for making him stained with so much blood, and I also apologized for being so upset during my life.

    At that point, Lee Hyun-seok was already in a dying state.

    Because he was clumsily stabbed in the chest, he was not completely dead.

    The last time I helped Hyunseok Lee comb his hair was to ease his pain.

    It wasn’t suicide. Because I was the one who killed it.

    But I wasn’t confident I could remember it properly.

    The two personalities that were awkwardly mixed together screamed.

    Yeji Lee’s personality screamed in sorrow at having killed her beloved younger brother with her own hands.

    Park Jeong-heum’s character was embarrassed by the fact that I had killed a person and justified himself.

    I knew it instinctively.

    At that time, I was nothing better than Yeji Lee.

    I was just lucky enough to take control of my body, and if there was an opportunity, it wouldn’t have been possible for it to change again.

    Lee Hyun-seok’s death became a trigger in itself.

    Ye-ji Lee awakened, and Jeong-heum Park, who had been only rationalizing himself, hid inside.

    Yeji Lee didn’t cry.

    I took off my headset and combed my hair neatly.

    Wear long sleeves and long pants. And then the recovery began.

    She recovered the remains of her brother’s friends, starting with her own.

    It was tantamount to suicide.

    As if it doesn’t matter if you just die without a single proper weapon.

    She, who had already lost all her precious people, moved as if she were in a daze.

    He fought, holding a shovel and getting blood on his body.

    If my clothes got damaged, I changed them again and moved around diligently.

    So all her precious people were buried in the ground.

    All monuments were erected without anyone damaging them.

    Yeji Lee wanted to die.

    She thought it wouldn’t matter if she died in the process of recovering the remains.

    But death passed her by.

    Park Jeong-heum wanted to live like crazy, so he tried to take control of his body.

    He shouted that his life was important at any cost.

    Yeji Lee wanted to die like crazy, so she disposed of her items.

    Food and water were distributed to the survivors who remained in the officetel.

    He also gave it to survivors who stopped by nearby.

    Food and drinking water, which would have easily lasted for several months, began to disappear everywhere.

    Meanwhile, she decorated her coffin.

    The room quickly became clean. She put on her last clean clothes, short sleeves and shorts.

    That was her shroud.

    Normally, he would have starved to death like that.

    If he hadn’t managed to change control of his body at the very last moment, he would have died.

    I drank the remaining food and water, fainted, and then came to my senses.

    Then, after roughly piecing together the situation from memory, he ran away to survive.

    Now I know roughly what happened.

    I came to my senses.

    I slowly strengthened my body and stood up unsteadily.

    It was not like a horse. I heard that the pool of blood was huge.

    Since he was lying there, he must have looked terrible.

    The tentacle attached to the blade that pierced the stomach had been cut in half.

    I think Kang Si-woo probably cut it for me.

    I chuckled. I didn’t know her original name was Yeji Lee.

    But it didn’t really matter now.

    Although my mind was still cloudy, there was something more important than that.

    “… ”

    So I gritted my teeth.

    My physical condition was not good, but I could still move.

    It seemed like the battle was almost over.

    The result was, of course, defeat for Noh Chang-hoon and Kang Si-woo.

    Noh Chang-hoon, who didn’t even have time to cool down, got down on one knee.

    Kang Si-woo, who had broken all of his swords, threw his bearings with an expression that said he was really going to kill him.

    The count roughly blocked the bearings with his blade and then looked at me.

    No, it was clear that he was looking at me from the beginning.

    I staggered and picked up the baton and held it up.

    And then he pulled out the blade he had been carrying on his back.

    The count looked amused.

    It was an expression of blatant ridicule, as if he was holding a knife without even knowing how to use it.

    I nodded. The reason I haven’t used a blade until now is because I’m not used to it.

    But this wasn’t for me.

    There he is, clenching his teeth with a very angry expression.

    It was the sword used by Kang Si-woo, our returner and protagonist.

    I walked slowly.

    Kang Si-woo came to my side in an instant, took the blade, and held it up.

    “… Are you okay, Mr. Yeji?”

    “Except for your stomach still feeling nauseous, everything will be okay, right?”

    “… ”

    “You look like you’re still awake.”

    “… Yes.”

    I thought about it in moderation.

    Anyway, that’s true. I can’t tell you exactly what happened just a moment ago.

    Lee Ye-ji and Lee Hyun-seok, there was no way it would work out if they said something like that.

    Noh Chang-hoon might be able to say it properly, but Kang Si-woo is not.

    So, I needed something to cover it appropriately.

    I thought Kang Si-woo would understand roughly and just say he didn’t know.

    “They say something inside me gave me strength, well. Hey, Noh Chang-hoon!”

    “Crazy bitch… ”

    “It can happen, right? Tell me it can happen without you. I’m also standing up with a hole in my stomach.”

    “Even if that didn’t happen, I was planning on waking up soon.”

    Noh Chang-hoon stood up unsteadily. And then slowly walked towards the count.

    Kang Si-woo swung the blade a few times, and then started walking forward as if he had figured it out.

    I also walked with my baton on my shoulder.

    And soon the battle began again.
