Chapter 37
After a while, we moved towards the entrance of the 'hidden dungeon' on the first underground floor . I walked behind Lee Jihye, Lee Gilyoung and Jung Heewon while looking at my smartphone .
「…In the midst of the splitting headache, Yoo Jonghyuk came to his senses .
'Give up on this life . '
This was the end of Yoo Jonghyuk's eighth life . 」
It couldn't be . This hadn't happened yet .
…Shit, why was this guy doing this on only the third life? If he moved carefully like his second life, he would've passed through the mid-to-late scenarios .
I raised my eyes to see Jung Heewon looking at me .
"Dokja-ssi, what are you looking at?"
"…Ah, the calendar… This situation has made me lose my sense of the date . "
I actually thought it might be more interesting to look at the calender . Sometimes I wondered how I finished reading this novel .
Jung Heewon looked at me suspiciously before turning her head towards Lee Jihye .
"Then… did you say your name was Jihye? Do you also use a sword?"
"Yes . I like the sword . "
"Right? The sword is the best . It has a good taste . "
"…Unni also knows the taste?"
Jung Heewon smiled as she watched Lee Jihye's sword . It was a luxurious sword that obviously flowed smoothly . Maybe it was given by Yoo Jonghyuk .
"Your sword looks good . "
"Ah, Master gave it to me . Unni…?"
"My one… I-I like mine as well . "
Jung Heewon looked down at the groll horn blade and then sneaked a peek at the sword on the other person's waist .
I didn't do anything wrong but I couldn't help feeling sorry . I had no choice but to hang something on Lee Jihye .
"Hey, why are you talking to Heewon-ssi but ignoring me?"
"Uh… that, I'm a bit weak to older females . "
Lee Jihye responded with a quivering voice and Jung Heewon gave her a headlock, as if Lee Jihye was cute . There seemed to be a connection between the 'demon slayers . ' Lee Jihye barely escaped from the headlock and asked .
"By the way, why are you rescuing Master?"
"We are companions . "
"Don't talk nonsense . "
"He is a useful guy . "
"…You sound like Master . "
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is wondering about your heart . ]
Come to think of it, it wasn't just Lee Jihye but the constellations as well who must be wondering about my actions . He was a guy who would kill me if he got a chance . It was strange that I would run to save him .
[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' likes your desire to rehabilitate a fallen friend . ]
[100 coins have been sponsored . ]
This one misunderstood me . But the Demon-like Judge of Fire… unlike the expectations of the Archangel Uriel, I had a deeply personal reason for saving Yoo Jonghyuk .
It was to prevent him from 'regressing' after his death .
Regression after death . It sounded good . A 'regression stigma' that triggered every time you died . The protagonist had a fraudulent ability .
The problem was that this ability invoked complicated thoughts in the surrounding cast .
「By the way, what happens to the world after you return? 」
A supporting actor had asked this of Yoo Jonghyuk when Yoo Jonghyuk's number of lives had broken into the double digits . I forgot his name but Yoo Jonghyuk's answer from that time was clear .
「 …I also don't know . I always choose a world where more people can live . 」
It was plausible but in fact, Yoo Jonghyuk didn't know about the world he abandoned . In face, there was no definite theory about what happened to the world in Ways of Survival .
Science, magic, whatever .
This was why I was anxious . What happened to the world after the regressor disappeared?
Would it reset with the regression? Or would a parallel universe branch off? The latter would be fortunate, but if it was the former…
"Hyung?"
"Ah, yes?"
Lee Gilyoung, who was holding the hem of my clothes, looked up at me with anxious eyes .
"I think we're here?"
[You are approaching the outside region . Be careful not to leave the scenario area . ]
This message popped up . It didn't matter . Chungmuro's hidden dungeon was treated as an 'inside' area .
We turned the corner and Exit 1 appeared . A dungeon entrance with an ominous shade greeted us .
[You have found a hidden dungeon!]
[This dungeon has already been discovered by someone . You can't get the first discovery achievement . ]
[A new hidden scenario has arrived!]

The surprised Lee Jihye hesitated and stepped back .
"…What is this? Theater Dungeon?"
Lee Gilyoung looked startled . Well, this must be the first time they encountered a hidden scenario . Jung Heewon also spoke .
"A movie theatre as a dungeon… it sounds romantic . "
Romantic . This was only because she didn't know how scary the movie theatre could be . We entered the theatre . The familiar lobby of the multiplex welcomed us .
[You have entered Theatre Dungeon . ]
We were tense as we entered the bleak dungeon . It was a multiplex consisting of nine floors, from B1 to the 8th floor .
"Hyung, the posters are torn . Who would do that?"
"I'm not sure . "
I said this but I actually knew the truth .
The core of this 'Theatre Dungeon' were the 'posters' on the wall . Perhaps Yoo Jonghyuk defeated every poster as he went upstairs . His intentions were to sweep up all the rewards .
Except for the torn posters, nothing strange was found on B1 . There were no items and no monsters . The only exception was the smashed elevator in one corner with a distrted door .
Lee Jihye asked .
"Isn't this a dungeon? Why isn't there anything?"
"Something will appear . "
"…Do you know something?"
