Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 78: The Third Job (4)

I found myself stunned by this new piece of information.

It felt so ridiculous that I couldn't even begin to respond. I didn't even need to clear my mind - the perpetrator was obvious in terms of personality and recent behavior.

This was Jung Hayan's doing.

Several guilds and clans came to mind, but I knew none of them had a valid reason to do this. There were also the three crazy women hanging around me that could be considered suspects.

However, it was difficult for someone like Cha Hee-ra to hire a wizard and cast a spell on me. I also knew Lee Jihye neither had the time nor ability to cast this magic type on me. I would have noticed if she had beforehand.

The suspect must have been someone who cast the spell while I was asleep in my room.

Of course, this could only mean Jung Hayan.

Thinking about her watching me sleep made goosebumps form all over my body.

Before entering the Guild House, Jung Hayan came here every night to do various things, but when I thought about it, I had never woken up in the middle of the night after entering the Guild House.

I didn't know exactly when, but...

It felt strange to think that Jung Hayan was involved in this.

However, when I thought about all those times that I had not woken in my sleep ever since we started staying at the Guild House, the answer came to me.

Whenever I walked into my room with the intent to sleep, I must have been so immersed in my thoughts that I thought receiving headaches daily was normal.

Of course, this was only speculation, but if this was true, then Jung Hayan probably received some pre-sex education before we even arrived here.

After trying to sort through my embarrassed, befuddled mind, I looked back up to see Hwang Jeong-yeon looking at me as if she had just committed a big mistake. If I were her, I would have reacted in the same manner as well. It was like she had just blatantly told someone they were being watched by their significant other.

I didn't know how my relationship with Jung Hayan must have looked to them, but I felt like I should have noticed this sooner.

I opened my mouth to speak once more. I felt like I deserved a better explanation.

"Can you elaborate it for a bit?"

"Yes...?"

It is of utmost importance to know the exact situation. That way, I could be careful, too.

"So... That..."

"I would like you to tell me the exact details."

"Well, that..."

Her hesitation made me feel even more anxious.

This was because I was worried that this spell might have hidden functions. I hadn't heard of eavesdropping magic within the continent before, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Jung Hayan was capable of producing new magic on her own. If so, how much would she have heard?

"Can I be honest with you, then?"

"Go ahead. I just felt a little surprised. I mean, I should have expected this to some extent... Anyway, I don't really care."

"If you say so, then I should let you know. Miss Hayan really surprised me."

"Yeah. She tends to be a little too jealous at times. Perhaps that's what drove her to do this."
