Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 766: To The End (25)

When I opened my eyes again, I could still see the man in the mask pointing at the sky. I really seemed to be seeing some illusion. It was a scene that didn't feel very real.

That was because Kim Hyunsung wasn't aware of the masked man next to him. I thought that he might be like that because he was out of his mind, but there was no way that could be it.

No matter how weird his mind was, it didn't mean that he couldn't notice the guy with his hand on his shoulder.

It wasn't only Kim Hyunsung. Even Seraphim wasn't aware of him. And so, what the hell was he talking about?

'You already know the answer.'

Did that bastard want to play a quiz with me or something?

I couldn't even understand what he was talking about because my head wasn't working properly, and even when I blinked my eyes, It scattered like smoke.

I clicked my tongue, but...

'Can... I see it as a hint?'

Maybe it was. No, wasn't it supposed to be? I looked in front of me. There were still five minutes before it turned into a complete mess. Shouldn't I make an attempt now?

What the masked hero said wasn't necessarily wrong.

I wasn't saying we should be incited by unknown bullsh*t, but it wasn't unconvincing.

It was definitely not like us- the masked hero and me- to leave the choices to others at the end of the end. I could also agree that Lee Kiyoung wasn't the type to be backstabbed but the one who backstabbed others.

I wasn't stupid enough to leave the choices to Lucifer. I had already been burned once.

I didn't know exactly what the terms of the contract were, but I could bet they had pitted each other. I thought I could see why Kim Hyunsung could be complete and why that guy pointed to the sky.

When I thought of the current situation a little more carefully, I felt like the puzzles fit. The only problem was...

'Can I... trust him?'

It wasn't like us to leave the choices to others until the end of the end, but it was about whether that guy really was us in the first place.

What if the man in that mask was my enemy? What if I didn't erase my memories, but he erased my memories? What if he was making up something and I was dancing on his palm? What if he wasn't the masked hero, but the damn masked trash?

No.

'I have nothing to lose anymore.'

It was the seed I myself sowed anyway. And no matter what happened afterward, the choice didn't feel bad.

I didn't know which end it would result in, but I had only one option. I had to bet on it.

I was driven.

As I slowly looked at the sky, the foreign light that filled it was still shining.

Seraphim, standing upright and shrewd, seemed to be judging how the situation would proceed, but I could bet it wouldn't take long for him to make a choice. That was because I could see his hand that reached out to Kim Hyunsung going up again.

'Right, it's understandable.'

The external system wanted Kim Hyunsung, who had lost his personality. However, he finally regained the bond. Even shortly after getting it back, he was still crying.

Hence, it concluded that Kim Hyunsung wasn't suitable as a manager who would manage the program.

It wasn't a bad situation for me, but, in fact, it didn't mean much. I had to make a choice soon anyway.
