Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 190: Foolish Guy (4)

Yuno Kasugano's closed eyelids opened, and she looked at me.

In the place where her pupils should be, there was only black darkness. It looked like a scene straight from a horror movie, and goosebumps naturally rose on my skin.

'Don't look at me.'

Though I wanted to say this out loud, it felt as if Yuno Kasugano couldn't really see me. It felt as if she was seeing something different. Perhaps she was in the black world now.

Suddenly, her facial features, shaking with her lips tightly closed, looked very different from before. Though I knew her ability was very limited, there was a possibility that she could see what I wanted to know, and that in itself would be able to make me happy.

'Huh, not bad.'

Seeing that she knew about Park Deokgu, I felt as if my guess was correct to an extent.

I couldn't confirm how I had lived in the first round before meeting Yuno Kasugano, but considering my disposition, I must have gone through a similar pattern. Therefore, I could at least predict that I had still gotten stuck with Park Deokgu back then. He must have really been someone I could rely on.

It was not a big deal right now, but it was only natural to think this way since his initial stats were pretty good as they were.

'Since Hyunsung wouldn't have been a returner then, it would have been more likely that he did not try to contact us...'

I did not know whether or not Hyunsung's talent levels were high back then, but they probably weren't, seeing as I did not stick to him during the first timeline. Rather, I had chosen to cling onto Park Deokgu. That was until I met Yuno Kasugano.

Did I end up backstabbing Park Deokgu in the end? This thought alone worried me.

'At least Park Deokgu wouldn't have abandoned me first.'

This fact was, at least, undeniable.

As I mulled over my thoughts, Yuno Kasugano reached out to hold my hand.

'That scared me.'

When I turned to look back into her black eyes, I could see something shining through.

'Huh?'

'Wait...'

[Player Kasugano Yuno's attribute, the eyes that see the essence and through the past and future, do not resist.]

"What..."

Before I could even form my own thoughts, I suddenly found myself being able to see the black world, as Yuno Kasugano mentioned it.

Now I realized why Yuno Kasugano called it that. I could also confirm the fact that I was currently seeing what she was seeing. I didn't know how this was possible, but I had been able to look at her memories in the past, so perhaps...

At the time, it was a scene where I had been strangling her, but she was not in this particular scenario.

What I was seeing now was Park Deokgu and me.

As Yuno Kasugano described before, it was as if unedited videos or pictures had been mixed up.

The Park Deokgu and I, in this version, looked entirely different, in a shabby kind of way. I looked like a third-class adventurer who had just left the slums. Not only did I look miserable, my entire body felt frail and weak.

'Hey... I'm sorry...'

'For what?'

'Today's hunting. I should have performed a little better...'
