Chapter 167

Chapter 167

I looked at Do-Seung with my Insight. I wanted to confirm if the Do-Seung in front of me was the Do-Seung that I knew. Seeing how Do-Seung had the memory of the second regressor, I thought a small part of the second regressors persona could exist inside Do-Seungs body. This didnt sound like good news to me, as the second regressor was the one who tried to kill me. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

I would only see one identity if no other identities existed inside Do-Seung.

What the hell I didnt expect this at all. I thought at most, a part of the second regressors identity could have remained inside Do-Seung but, this was

How many are there? There werent just one or two but dozens of identities overlapping behind Do-Seung. Semi-transparent figures were bound tightly over one another behind Do-Seung, and among them, there was one figure that stuck to him especially closely.

Is that the second regressor? I supposed. I extended my hand because I thought I could perhaps, detach this figure from Do-Seung right now.

No, its not possible. That was beyond my control, and I counted each of the figures stuck behind him. One, two, three, fourthere was a total of fifteen figures.

Does this mean that he regressed fifteen times? It was such an ordeal for me to regress just once. I couldnt believe Do-Seung did it fifteen times. I doubted if the mind of the fifteenth regressor at the farthest back was still sane. But as I looked at this long line of figures, another question popped into my head.

Also, I thought a consciousness from another world was regressing into this world. Does this mean thats not the case? The system had told me the worldline was breaking apart whenever I met with another regressor as if the regressor was coming from a different world. Yet, I was able to see all the regressed identities attached to Do-Seung clearly right now without needing to destroy the world line.

Then, why in the world did it say the world line was breaking apart when there was none to break? As I thought this, I realized something. When the system told me the world line crumbled, it couldve not meant that the regressors and my world lines were breaking, but the line between the superior dimension where the system was and the inferior dimension where I existed broke; and with it, the system couldve awakened the identities that were sealed inside my team members.

I stared at the countless identities bound behind Do-Seung. Each of these was also Do-Seung, and my thoughts deepened.

Zing!

Hmph. My head began to ache so hard that it felt like it would crack. This was the side effect of Insight. I quickly unsealed my ability, and all the figures that I saw disappeared. The speed of the world returned to normal. Perhaps I had pushed myself too far, but blood also began to flow down my nostrils.

Huh? Hey! Bong Tae-Yoon!

Ah.

Huh? The blood didnt stop.

What! Hey! Block your nose!

Even when I blocked my nose with my hand, blood flowed out between my fingers. My head felt completely fine, and I didnt feel nauseous or anything.

Butwhy am I?

Thats not important!

My nose showed no signs of stopping. In the meantime, the elevator arrived at the floor where our dorm was.

Lets go to the hospital right away. Do-Seung clicked the first-floor button and smashed the close door button.

It will be faster for me to run with you on my back than calling the ambulance right now.

Umbut.

What?

Please keep this a secretfrom the others.

Please.

Fine.

The elevator arrived back on the first floor and we ran to the hospital. I thought I wasnt suffering much physical damage while I was on the elevator, but now that I was trying to move, my legs shuddered.

My bodywont move

Do-Seung put me on his back and went outside. All his time at the gym paid off because he could run with a full adult-sized man on his back.

I should stopthinking for now. The more I tried to think, my headache became more severe.

***

Do-Seung looked down at Tae-Yoon, who was sleeping on the emergency rooms bed. It still gave him the shudders to recall how much blood had spurted out of Tae-Yoons nose inside the elevator out of the blue. It was his first time seeing someone pour out that much blood. Even the doctors had looked quite surprised to see him arrive at the hospital with Tae-Yoon on his back.

The doctors quickly took control of the situation and ran a couple of tests, and now, Tae-Yoon was sleeping while receiving fluids.

Are you this patients guardian?

Ah, yes.

Yeon-Hoon and Do-Seung softened to see Tae-Yoon finally act like the maknae. Still, they remained firm.

Tae-Yoon, you have to consider your body first. Its not something you can just do because you want to, Dong-Jun said.

Yeah, Tae-Yoon. Your health is most important. What are you going to do if you are having all these health problems at nineteen, Lee Woon was the same. Yet, Tae-Yoon didnt easily succumb to their opinions.

Our company must also be producing reports and marketing images according to the schedule. How can we put a halt to that? Tae-Yoon refuted.

It cant be helped. Your health is more important.

Furthermore, if we begin to push the schedule like this, our companys trust in us will fall. I dont want to start on a bad note.

We can build up trust step by step going forth.

Everything is going well for us now. If we lose this chance herethings could not be the same.

Thats true but

We have gone through so much to debut. So, please believe in me one more time. I really, really will manage my condition well from now on.

Tae-Yoon began to convince Woon and Dong-Jun with his passionate arguments.

Haa. Fine.

Why dont you be discharged from the hospital first?

In the end, they decided to back out and the Siren members all left the emergency room. They got in the car that Yeon-Hoon brought and returned to the dorm.

Lets talk again tomorrow and sleep for now.

Yeah, lets see how you feel then.

Good night.

Siren members greeted each other good night and returned to each of their rooms.

[Mission Success.]

[You secured the third week of June as your debut date.]

[No rewards for succeeding.]

At night when all my members were asleep, I woke up from the systems alarm. I had been able to wake up at the emergency room thanks to the system just before too. While my members were discussing to push our debut date to a later date, the system shot alarms into my head as if it was telling me to stop the situation somehow.

Haaa. I looked up at the ceiling while smiling. Because I had a good sleep while receiving fluid shots at the hospital, I couldnt fall asleep easily. Though I pleaded to Do-Seung to not the others, I supposed it was a promise that couldnt have been kept. I cautiously got out of my blankets to not wake Woon up. Then, I went out to the living room and sat on the sofa.

It seems my brain becomes overheated if I use Insight too much. This was the truth I learned while getting carried to the emergency room. Though Insight was a strong power, it also came with huge risks because it was an ability that far surpassed a humans limits. Yet, it wasnt like I could keep refraining from using it either.

I thought about the two missions that I was working up to right now.

[Record 500,000 sales in the first week of album release within 2022]

[Upon success, progress to next mission]

[Upon failure, member Lee Woon dies]

There was one mission that placed Woons life on the line.

[Reach 10 million views in the first week of release for the debut albums title song and music video.]

[Upon success, meeting with the twenty-seventh regressor]

[Upon failure, Precognitive Vision retracted]

Then, there was this sudden mission about the music videos view count. I tapped the sofa with the ends of my fingers and pondered. There were fifteen figures behind Do-SeungAnd the second regressors memories that were more deeply attached to Do-Seungs sideThe systems message that the world line broke

I combined all this information to think of what the systems weak point and secret was, and what I could do. I couldnt continue to play a game where the system pulled me here and there out of my own will. I needed to make the system work for me at times.

Then, I should try to change one of the missions.

I needed to change one of the missions according to what I wanted.
