Return of the Frozen Player 485
Deja vu(2)
At the words of intuition, Seo Jun-ho’s eyebrows narrowed.
“what? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
– I’m running out of time, so I’ll just point out. This strange feeling of deja vu that my partner and I now feel. Aren’t you used to it?
“If you ask me that… …
I’m used to it
Because that’s déjà vu. nod
Seo Jun-ho shook his head.
“I’m used to it. Why is that all of a sudden?” When I had spit out that far, the wolves standing next to me started running.
“What are you doing, Seo Jun-ho? Run!”
“It must be hard to keep up with the wolf warrior’s speed!”
I don’t know. let’s run for a while
Seo Jun-ho takes the lead in an instant
Let’s go, the words of the intuition quickened.
-Are you really forgetting, or are you turning away?
The moment he heard those reprimanded words, Seo Jun-ho’s eyes became calm.
It is because the emotions that were buried in a corner of the heart sprouted like new flesh.
he asked in a quiet voice.
“It may not be what I think.”
-Seeing you hate it that much, I think it’s probably right.
Seo Jun-ho bit his lip and demanded.
“Explain. What does this have to do with the damn regression.”
-The system doesn’t lie. Do you think it was a coincidence that the hero’s mental powers were activated?
“……shit.”
My brain got complicated.
‘Familiar sense of deja vu and sudden activation of the hero’s mental power. There’s even a warning from intuition.’
3 beats matched.
So it was even more confusing.
“Are we in a state of regression now?”
– I, who have experienced numerous emotions together with my partner, can judge that.
Seo Jun-ho, who quickly recovered his embarrassing feelings, thought.
‘Then the subject of the return… …
It’s not you this time
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes scanned the surroundings.
If there is a person with the ability to return among allies, it must have been a twisted return.
‘Then he would have consulted with us right away.’
However, the wolves around her are only looking ahead and running.
In other words, there is no regression ability among them.
‘What is the possibility that a player we don’t know has the ability to regress?’
– I see it as low. There’s no way a player with such great abilities would drop off overnight.
not a werewolf
Not even a player.
Then, there is only one thing left on this battle board.
‘……Jinjo.’
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes shone sharply.
At the same time, Shin Sung-hyun, who was standing on the plain, waved his hand.
“Come this way!”
“Everybody throw yourself into the cracks in space!”
“For the wolves!”
The moment when all the wolves speeded up with Arnold’s cry.
Blasphemy!
A huge wall of ice suddenly appeared on the plain, and the wolves running into it crashed into it and fell.
“Ouch! My knee is cracked!”
“I have a bump on my forehead.”
“I don’t know, it hurts! it hurts! Aww!”
As the wolves cried and cried over the wound, Skaja slowly turned her head and asked:
“… … what do you mean?”
“Sorry for splashing cold water on the atmosphere, but let’s do it one more time.”
Seo Jun-ho gave the order through the message window without a second’s hesitation.
[It’s dark here. repeat It’s dark here.]
Receiving all the suspicious eyes around him, he continued.
[As of the current time, the Trium recapture operation is completely canceled. All players must evacuate the capital.]

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In the forest where a pleasant spring breeze blows.
The man in the gray suit looked up at the great tree that encompassed the world.
“It’s been a while.”
– How are you too, Grey?
“I am always the same. I’m sorry for the belated greeting, but you’ve had a hard time going through a big deal.”
– thank you.
The World Tree welcomed him by gently waving branches.
– But what brought you here?
“I came to ask you something, do you have a good time?”
– Enough. tell me
After receiving permission, Gray nodded and brought out his business.
“6th floor, is that okay?”
-it’s okay.
When the world tree cut it out as if it were a ruler, Gray was speechless.
– I think I know why you came. It’s because the demons have strengthened their power too much.
“… … This is more than we could have imagined. Is it something the players can overcome?”
– It’s interesting. you own zone
Are you interested in something other than this?
For a moment, Gray felt the whole world sweeping over him.
He smiled softly as always.
“You know why.”
– You know. However, I was just surprised that it was the first time I had seen such an active figure.
“It’s not just Reiji who wants to retire.”
-That means… … Do you think you can do it?
“How am I supposed to know that?”
Gray dodged the question awkwardly and shrugged.
“But I can’t hide my anticipation.”
– I agree.
The World Tree felt the same way.
She said.
-If you came here because you were worried about the 6th floor, I would like to tell you that there is no need to worry.
“Did you look all the way here?”
– A little bit. thanks to player seojun
Arrangements were made for Ho.
“indeed.”
It is also a world tree.
Gray nodded and opened his mouth.
“I guess I was worried for nothing. Definitely a player… … Some of them are growing at rates that exceed our expectations.”
– They too are part of nature. It is easy to assimilate into the surrounding landscape.
If there is someone who advances by scattering a more brilliant light than anyone else.
It’s bound to follow him.
Gray let out a hearty sigh of relief.
“Thanks to you, I feel a little relieved.”
-you’re welcome.
If the Tree of Wisdom, the World Tree, was so confident, the 6th floor would not be a big concern.
‘maybe… … He must have put some of his abilities into Seo Jun-ho.’
I’m sure the words will come out from above, but it’s better than having all the players killed like this.
Gray nodded, and a question suddenly popped into his head.
“By the way.”
– Please speak.
“If, if. What if Seo Jun-ho attacks the 6th floor without using that arrangement?”
Cool dew trickled down from the huge tree that had been silent for a while.
– Come on, no way. How can I get through that difficulty without using my arrangements?
“Aren’t they the ones who did it as if they were eating rice?”
I can’t.
The future he foresaw was just this far, so he only prepared an arrangement suitable for the current situation.
The World Tree with drooping branches said.
-I don’t know, one in a thousand, one in a thousand, if that happens.
At that time, perhaps, he could not even foresee himself.
– The great flow of fate once again
it will twist
Whether it will be poison or beneficial to the players, no one knows.
The World Tree prayed earnestly that his choice was not wrong.

“I’ll have to explain it straight!”
Kwaaang!
The interior of an ice barracks suddenly built on a plain.
Mekenbo, who hit the desk hard, glared at Seo Jun-ho with burning eyes.
“What is the reason? Were you afraid to go to war?”
“Watch your mouth, McKenbaugh.”
Arnold sounded a low warning.
Turning his gaze, he looked at Seo Jun-ho and asked.
“Why did you do that?”
The Seo Jun-ho he knew was not a person who would be terrified of going to war.
If it was that kind of existence, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat the True Ancestor Paradox.
Seo Jun-ho calmly opened his mouth.
“It’s a persimmon. I felt like I shouldn’t go.”
“That’s the reason too!”
Once again, McKenbaugh ran amok, but Ramadat and Scarya’s reactions were different.
“Persimmon?”
“That’s definitely disturbing.”
They know how accurate Seo Jun-ho’s ‘intense intuition’ is, more than anyone else.
because I knew
Seo Jun-ho added an additional explanation.
“Do you know about regression?”
The chief and the warriors looked at each other.
‘Do you know what regression is?’
‘Eh, is it delicious?’
‘I don’t think he’s eating.’
‘I think I’ve heard of it in the city. Isn’t that an invitation to religion?’
I hope everyone will hesitate for a while at the appearance of an unfamiliar word.
Arnold, carrying a gun, opened his mouth.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it. What is it?”
“Skaya.”
To explain the theory, a British engineering student, Skaya, is perfect.
After being called by Seo Jun-ho, she quickly finished her explanation.
“So, can we understand it as the power to try an event over and over again?”
“Exactly.”
“You keep saying things that make your head hurt!”
The impatient McKenbaugh knocked on my chest as if he was frustrated.
“Why do you suddenly come up with something like that regression when you are asking why the war was stopped!”
“Because they are closely related.”
For 17 years, Seo Jun-ho went through hundreds of regressions.
It is probably the most understandable thing in the universe, as long as it is limited to ‘feeling at the moment of returning’.
“I felt this sensation. return
I thought it was a sense of
“… … That means, did you fail and return to the past?”
“no.”
he shook his head.
“The power of return given to me is temporary. I don’t have that ability right now.”
He looked around the barracks and asked.
“I asked the players on the 6th floor just in case, but no one else had that ability. So let me ask you. Do any of you have the ability to return?”
“You think there will be!”
“If I had such ridiculous abilities, this situation wouldn’t have come to me in the first place… …
“Exactly. The fact that neither we nor the werewolves have regression-related abilities.”
“… … It sounds like the enemy is with you.”
Arnold, quick-witted, narrowed his eyes and said.
“yes. I think it might be the ability of Jinzo Tzepes.”
“Nonsense.”
“If you have that ability… … It’s impossible to win in the first place.”
“shit!”
The wolves beat the ground and the walls and vomited their anger.
I thought I was finally there, but it felt like my hope was shattered.
“But don’t worry.”
“That, yes. Seo Jun-ho has already gone through hundreds of regressions. He is an expert in that field.”
“What good is all that!”
“It is obvious that the opponent will turn back time every time he loses, but how can he win?”
“I can win.”
Seo Jun-ho answered in a firm voice.
“Honestly, at first I was obsessed with the word regression and despaired… … If you think about it, you can win.”
“I knew that before,” said Scarya with a grin.
Ramadat, who was wide-eyed, scratched his head.
“what. Is it different? Why is it different?”
“That noona will explain it to you.”
Skaja stepped forward and began to explain the difference.
“The biggest difference is the dignity of existence.”
The ability to return that Seo Jun-ho used on the 4th floor borrowed the power of the transcendent world tree.
But now, the one who uses the power of regression is Jinzo Tzepeshu.
“Even if he received some kind of power from the demons, he did not receive it from the transcendent.
I guess.”
“that’s right. It’s probably to the extent of drinking blood that enhances one’s abilities.”
In other words, there was a class difference in regression ability.
Seo Jun-ho asked while checking Vita’s time.
“Arnold, if our operation had succeeded, how long would it have taken?”
“As lightning-fast driving was the core of the operation, it should have been over within two hours.”
“Exactly. I’m going to turn Chepesch
I think the maximum possible time is about two hours.”
If not, the ‘time of dawn’ would be the checkpoint.
Either way, the time he could turn was not that long.
“The biggest difference of all is this.”
Skaya finished her words with her eyes shining.
“There is no audience that is enthusiastic about the magic of a magician who has been caught tricking.”
Chepesch has the ability to ‘return’ on this side.
turned on
As long as that premise is supported, what this side has to do is simple and clear.
“Okay, let’s get moving again.”
Seo Jun-ho stood up from his seat.
His message window was on fire once again.
[This is group B-7. As you said, I checked the sewer and it was already collapsed.]
[This is H-10. I looked through the pile, wide in the vampire’s crib
The bullet is installed.]
“It’s a battle of brains from here on out.”
Who looks one more step ahead?
It’s just that fight.
‘And if it’s that kind of fight… …
Seo Jun-ho’s head turned slowly.
“Hi-Hi.”
Skye Kiriland.
There is no other being as trustworthy as this guy.
