“That would be impossible.”

It seemed like Yoo Seo-ra had heard everything Choi Kang-hoon had to say, as she slowly approached me. The blood on her hands was enough to create a sense of fear.

Is it more impossible than that?

“What does that mean?”

“The parents sent those kids here.”

…….

“What?”

My thoughts suddenly stopped.

“Of course, some of them may have been children who originally lived without parents, but in the end, it is impossible because there is no place to return to.”

My thoughts aren’t working properly.

What the heck is that?

So are you saying that these kids are kids who haven’t been reported missing or anything like that, and have nowhere to go? Am I understanding this correctly? If that’s true, then what do you want me to do? What should I do? More importantly, what kind of kids are the parents who sent them to places like this? Did they know this was the kind of place they sent them to? Are you saying that they’re crazy kids?

You sons of bitches.

What the fuck.

Actually, I had predicted it to some extent. It’s one of those clichés that you often see in novels. But really? The truth that I didn’t want to believe hit me.

In reality, they could save his life, but they couldn’t save him properly.

Fuck.

“Then what do you want me to do?”

I asked through gritted teeth.

Yu Seo looked at me with a blank expression. He spoke in a calm voice.

“What do you want to do?”

Are you asking me now?

“You fucking bitch, I asked first. What should I do?”

Is there any way to protect the kids here? That was actually the biggest problem.

First of all, it’s best to leave this to the police. They can somehow resolve it. And above all, it’ll be the most convenient.

But can you believe them? Considering that this is a fictional world and not reality, it can’t be helped that it’s hard to believe.

Especially considering that it was the novel I had read.

This is rotten.

I can’t think of a way. What should I do with those kids?

“Is that your answer?”

“You should be thinking about what to do with these guys instead of experimenting on me like a retard. No, you fucking know what to do, right? Tell me now.”

I spoke with anger, annoyance, and discomfort from the current situation.

It was at that moment that I realized I was too excited.

Let’s calm down first. If you calm down and think about it, you’ll understand. Just cool your head as much as possible.

And you shouldn’t provoke Yoo Seora for no reason.

Let’s calm down.

“Were you originally like this?”

A beggar who wants to provoke people suddenly starts spouting nonsense called Yoo Seo.

“I just found out about this. So what should I do?”

The more I think about it, the more I don’t get it. Seeing this girl being so relaxed, it seems like there must be a way. But I don’t know if it’s because I’m not smart enough.

I feel like my head isn’t working properly. For the first time, I feel resentful of my brain.

If I had used my head more often, I might have come up with better methods than I have now. Such thoughts suddenly occurred to me.

“Honestly, is there any way to do it? We have no choice but to put them in an orphanage.”

Yusura’s one word made me think for a moment.

Maybe that’s right. There’s no other way than to take her to an orphanage. That was the first thing I thought of.

I made new friends there and learned a lot from the orphanage director.

however.

“What the fuck is that……!”

I knew that it would be difficult to do so.

“Then what do you want to do?”

how?

Isn’t it really that simple?

“I just want to send them to a place where they can be comfortable. That’s all.”

“That’s an orphanage, right? Is there another one there?”

There isn’t. Where would children without parents go? Actually, if you think about this world view, that place could be considered a blessing.

But, fuck, that’s what I’m complaining about.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send you to a good orphanage.”

orphanage.

Honestly, if I hadn’t come to this world, I wouldn’t have thought much about it. On the contrary, I would have immediately agreed, even if I felt a little uneasy. But when I think about coming to this world and what I went through at that orphanage, I can’t help but feel uneasy.

Even now, just thinking about it makes me feel annoyed.

After looking at my dark expression, Yu Seo opened his mouth.

“You’re unexpectedly very emotional.”

“What?”

“Honestly, I thought you were a cool-headed person, but now that I look at you, I guess not.”

You’re cold-hearted?

I can’t be a cool-headed person. How can I be cool-headed?

I’m the kind of guy who fell into this world and only after a few weeks could I accept it as reality. It took me not a day or two, but several weeks to accept that I was possessed by an extra.

Not only that, but just a while ago I was someone who took this world lightly.

He was a guy who just thought that everything would work out somehow.

To be honest, I’m a kid who’s having a hard time just being in this situation.

How can someone like me be so cool-headed? That’s ridiculous.

Yoo Seora, who had been watching me, spoke in a light tone.

“You look pretty miserable. Still, keep trying. You’ll have to do this kind of thing again.”

The moment I heard that sound, I could feel that the will after the return was very different from before.

If it had been Yuseo before his return, how would he have acted if he had seen me like this? He would have probably told me not to do Hunter work and told me to drop out. How could I do Hunter work in this situation? But now I realized that Yuseo didn’t care about the fact that I was an ordinary person.

Even if I pretended that there was something special about it, it wasn’t like that.

For a moment, it seems that I considered the will of the person after the regression, the will of the person before the regression, and the will of the person after the regression as the same person.

It’s the same person, but in the end, it’s the will after the regression that shows that he’s mentally damaged somewhere. I think I briefly mistakenly thought that they were the same.

It seems that I felt regretful at that moment because I had that misunderstanding.

‘Fuck.’

I wonder if I’ll be able to sleep well tonight.

“ Okay. Have you asked Choi Kang-hoon everything you wanted to ask him?”

Honestly, given that there is information from before the regression, what information could there be that made them attack this obviously insignificant guy like this?

I asked the question with such doubts.

“No. Actually, it’s meaningless because it’s information I already knew.”

“What?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I told you that we raided here before we returned.”

“Then why did you come here?”

There is no reason for Yusera to come here.

To save the kids? That’s ridiculous. I’ve been watching Yusera in novels for years. I could tell that she didn’t come for that reason. Then why did she come? To nip it in the bud?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember it.

“I want to take a test.”

“What?”

“About you.”

Now that I think about it, you’ve been telling me for a while that I’m more emotional than I expected, or that I’m not as cool-headed as I expected. What does that have to do with it? I don’t know.

Are you saying that you came here just for me? It seemed like you wanted to find out more about me.

Yeah, it’s not like it’s a big deal for a Yusera to do something like this.

“So what were the results? No, more importantly, what was the experiment about?”

I could guess that it was an experiment to figure out my personality.

It seems that they were trying to figure out the person through this incident because he was someone that needed to be monitored.

“I checked to see if there was anything you lied about.”

“What?”

“You never know. You might actually be a regressor like me. That’s why I raided here to confirm it.”

When I heard that, I burst out laughing for a moment.

You came here to find out if I lied?

“Can you tell by looking at it?”

“Of course. There’s something called a feeling. And as a bonus, I came here to check if you’re really incompetent.”

Well, if it was Yoo Seo-ra, she would have no choice but to doubt everything I said. Maybe it was just natural behavior for her.

If I had been a regressor, if I had experienced the future just like her, what would have happened to me?

It was a fact that I could easily understand because I had often seen the original.

‘He must have killed her.’

If you knew that everything I said was a lie, you would have killed me.

Of course, there may still be doubts about whether there are more people who have returned. However, since there are fewer unstable elements than the ‘system’ I mentioned, they would have killed them without hesitation.

No, they might not kill him. Instead, they would definitely torture him or something like that.

‘I really took it lightly.’

What if I had acted as if I knew the future even a little? What if I had shown myself to be a little stronger?

It was such a simple answer that I didn’t even want to think about it.

I turned my head and looked at the place where Choi Kang-hoon had been. As expected, I could see that Yoo Seo-ra had killed him cleanly. I frowned at the sight of the other corpses.

“Then what is the result?”

“Unlike before, your shooting skills are amazing, but other than that, you reacted as if this was your first time, so I decided to trust you for now.”

It was a natural result. In reality, it was my first time experiencing something like this and I was very naive.

First, I looked at Yoo Seo-ra, remembering that I also had information to hear from Choi Kang-hoon.

“You said that you already knew what you heard from Choi Kang-hoon, right? Then answer the questions because I need the information too.”

“Let’s do that.”

I simply said to Yusera.

After that, I simply asked Yoo Seol-ra all the questions I had, and I began to doubt. It may have been a groundless doubt, but for me who was now calm, it was a thought that would not leave my mind.

‘It’s not false information, is it?’

Why would Yoo Seora lie to me? No matter how much she was suspicious of me at the moment, I didn’t think she would hide the information since it would be information she would find out later.

Still, I had my doubts, so I asked some questions that I had known from the beginning, and only after seeing Yoo Seo-ra tell the truth, was I able to feel a little bit relieved.

“You haven’t asked any questions yet, have you?”

“None.”

Actually, there wasn’t much to ask. Since I’d seen the original, I knew the leader of the Demon Sect, so how could there be that many questions?

I am a possessed person who has seen the end of this world. Although settings that are not in the original work continue to appear, I have information that even Yusera does not know. I know information that only the final boss knows.

I took a moment to collect my thoughts and turned my head towards the children. They were all still shaking with frightened expressions on their faces.

“Then, where will you take me?”

I asked without looking at Yusera.

“The past, or should I say the future? There is a place I know. I will take you there.”

When I heard that, I had many thoughts going through my head. Considering that in the original, he had never even been to an orphanage, I was not sure if I could believe it. However, in the end, I had to believe it, so I had no choice but to grit my teeth.

He probably isn’t that much of a psychopath.

“Yes. I believe it.”

The only words I finally uttered were those coming from such a miserable voice.

I walked towards the kids for a moment, reassuring them again that they could rest easy and trying to comfort them as best I could.

I was acting hypocritically even though I knew that the pain they must have suffered could not be cured by such consolation.

Then again, my eyes met with a boy’s. It was the boy who had spoken to me earlier.

Still, the boy was acting unusually calm. It wouldn’t be strange for a normal child to faint in this situation. On the contrary, it was stranger for him to act as if nothing had happened.

It was a heterogeneous entity in many ways.

“I know it’s a bit odd to say this, but are you different from other kids?”

I couldn’t help but be curious, so I ended up asking. I know it was inconsiderate, but I felt I had to ask.

I wondered how he could be so calm even now.

“It’s just that I accepted the situation differently than other kids.”

At those words, I asked again.

“What is your name?”

“Baekjeong is.”

Strangely enough, it felt like something I could memorize. No, to be exact, it was something I couldn’t forget.

He was such an impressive kid.

“What are you still talking about?”

As I continued talking to that guy, Yusera approached me.

“I’m tired now, can we just hurry up and finish this?”

“Then let’s do that.”

Yu Seo nodded at my words and gathered the children together. Then he said something and looked at me.

“Okay, then go in. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“You’re doing it alone?”

I could see that Yuseo was deliberately trying not to go with me, either out of consideration for me or because he didn’t want to tell anyone about the orphanage.

I declined because I needed to go, even if I didn’t know about anything else.

“How can I trust you? I will follow you too.”

It was natural. I don’t trust Yoo Seo-ra.

“Okay. Then let’s go outside first.”

In order to move, I had to step on the floor that had become a pool of blood. It was an unpleasant and disgusting feeling.

So we went out right away. There were some kids who still had trouble moving because they couldn’t quite calm down, but we were able to get out easily thanks to Nana Yusera carrying them.

Since he was an awakened person named Yuseo, he could carry three people on his own, but I could only carry one. It was more natural that it was because of the discomfort that would come from carrying someone, rather than the weight, that I couldn’t carry them properly.

“Keep following.”

*

We simply went outside and followed Yusera until we finally arrived at the orphanage. It was a fairly large building that didn’t seem like an orphanage, and it looked clean, unlike where I was. It seemed like a place I could really trust.

This makes me feel safe too.

Yuseo slowly walked to the building and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, someone came out.

“Who, who are you……?”

A timid-looking brown-haired girl appeared. I wondered if there was a similar character in the original work, but couldn’t find one.

“Can I leave the children here?”

Yoo Seo Ra was speaking with a smile. It seems like she was trying to leave a good impression. But since there was blood on her, wouldn’t she just look scary? It would probably be better to just have a blank expression right now.

The girl, who couldn’t hide her embarrassment at Yoo Seora’s words, tilted her head and said.

“Where are those kids……?”

“These are the victims of the Masin Church.”

for a moment.

Can I tell you that?

With that thought, I was finally able to remember who that kid was.

‘No, it was him?’

A character who has a lot of information about the Masin Church that appears in the second half of the game.

And one of the characters who dies to Yusera in the final ending.

Lee So-young.

I just realized it was her.

No, then just wait a minute.

So this isn’t really an orphanage? There’s never been a description of Lee So-young running an orphanage.

What is it?

What the hell is Yusera doing?
