I am not a regressor episode 336
Interlude – Encounter (2)
I am you
The low voice echoing in the darkness takes my breath away.
“… “Cheonma.”
With trembling eyes, Ojin looked at a young man whose appearance was identical to his own, as if reflected in a mirror.
No, using the expression ‘reflected in a mirror’ may be a bit unreasonable.
Although the appearance itself was similar, the atmosphere that came out was completely different.
Eyes filled with deep fatigue.
When a piece called a human being is worn to the extreme, it probably takes on that form.
I felt a sense of alienation, as if I was encountering a human-shaped doll rather than a human.
“I don’t really like that name.”
Embarrassingly, what is Cheonma? Cheonma.
A young man laughing and shaking his head.
“But isn’t it a bit much to call it a misdiagnosis?”
“Well, I guess we need to make a distinction.”
The Cheonma nodded quietly and sat down as naturally as if there was an invisible chair in the air.
“You sit down too, right? “I think the story will be a bit long.”
The Cheonma is nodding its head and pointing in the opposite direction with its chin.
Oh Jin shrugged his shoulders as calmly as possible, hiding his confusion.
“Then why don’t you at least make me a cup of tea?”
“This is the space of your unconscious. “If you need it, you can make it.”
“Because I don’t know how to make it.”
“okay?”
The Heavenly Demon nodded and lightly flicked his hand.
In a space filled with darkness, a steaming teacup was created along with a table.
Ojin’s eyes narrowed.
‘After all, is it possible to intervene in my subconscious?’
Oji clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched the Cheonma creating things without any hesitation even though it was inside his subconscious.
Cheonma chuckled, taking a sip from the teacup on the table.
“I used that method often too.”
“… “What way?”
“Talking about meaningless things while trying to embarrass the other person.”
widely. The teacup that I put down on the table disappeared.
“Actually, you can make it too, right?”
“… under.”
Oh Jin laughed and sat down opposite Cheonma.
Just right.
With a light flick of his hand, the teacup that had disappeared was created again.
The Heavenly Demon smiled as if he had expected it.
‘Tsk.’
Does that mean shallow water doesn’t work?
In that case, I had no choice but to ask directly without any need to go.
“How did it get into my subconscious?”
“I did some work on Deimos.”
“If I absorb his body, will I be able to intervene in the Black Sky?”
“Exactly.”
then.
From the moment Deimos received power from the Heavenly Demon decades ago, did he anticipate that he would kill and absorb Deimos?
“I believed you could reach this far. No, should I say ‘I’ here?”
The Cheonma smiled and leaned back against the backrest.
Ohjin asked in a deep voice.
“So you did something like that to the Dragonian Kingdom?”
“Dragonian Kingdom?”
Cheonma frowned and touched his forehead.
“Ah, yes. promise… In order to keep my promise… Wait, who was the promise you made?”
“… … ?”
Ohjin narrowed his eyes at the sight of Cheonma muttering something with a confused expression.
That expression.
I remembered seeing it somewhere.
No, to be precise, he had a memory of ‘doing’ it himself.
“no way… “Have you lost your memories?”
“… … .”
The Heavenly Demon tightly shut her mouth.
He smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
“Because there were so many things I couldn’t do without giving up anything.”
“How many memories… .”
“Ah, no need to worry about that.”

The Heavenly Demon shakes his head quietly.
“The most important thing is that I didn’t forget.”
The most important thing to him.
The most precious thing to you.
The two won’t be any different.
“So, why did you go so far as to invade my consciousness?”
“I just wanted to talk to you.”
“talk?”
“Yes, I was curious about what I would look like in a different future.”
Cheonma shrugged her shoulders and looked at Ojin.
“I felt relieved after talking to him in person this time.”
“Are you relieved?”
What do you mean relieved?
“Even if the future is different, in the end, you are me.”
Even if the past has changed.
Even if the present is turned upside down.
Even if the future is twisted.
you.
It was me.
“Well, I think a little differently.”
Oh Jin continued speaking while glaring at Cheonma with sharp eyes.
“I am different from you.”
To be precise, it had to change.
Because as long as you live a life like that, the future will not change.
“So, if you and I are the same, are you planning on taking my body away?”
When I realized the identity of the Heavenly Demon.
I thought for a moment about what his purpose was.
The first thing that came to mind was that he might be trying to take over Ha-eun by stealing her body.
From the Heavenly Demon’s perspective, his current appearance must have been the future he desperately wanted.
“huh? Push! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
What’s so funny?
The Cheonma held her stomach and burst into laughter.
“I don’t plan on doing that, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Then what is your purpose?”
If you want Ha-eun’s happiness.
If the existence of ‘Cheonma’ itself disappears, all problems will be solved.
“well?”
Cheonma shrugged as if she had no intention of talking.
“Well, you’ll find out naturally anyway.”
The Heavenly Demon rose leisurely.
“Time is running out.”
As if it couldn’t remain in someone else’s unconscious space, the Heavenly Demon’s appearance gradually turned into a dark cloud and began to disperse.
“Wait, we’re not finished talking yet.”
Are you going to come in on your own and then leave with only vague answers?
“Even if I wanted to stay longer, I’m reaching my limit.”
“… you.”
“Oh, by the way, I’ve prepared a gift for you, so there won’t be any time to be bored.”
Have you prepared a gift?
“… “What have you done?”
“Isn’t the beauty of a gift that you don’t know until you open it?”
The Heavenly Demon smiled and waved his hand.
“Don’t be sad. “I’ll be able to see you again soon anyway.”
“What is that… .”
Even before Ojin finished speaking.
The Heavenly Demon’s body completely disappeared into the darkness.
“Damn it.”
Ojin looked into the darkness where he could see nothing and let out a deep sigh.
A completely unexpected encounter with the Heavenly Demon.
Cheonma’s impression upon first conversation was a little different from the image Ohjin had imagined of him.
‘It was better than I thought.’
I vaguely thought he was a crazy maniac because he destroyed the world in his past life, but my expectations were surprisingly wrong.
“I still don’t know what you’re thinking.”
Ojin touched his forehead as if he had a headache.
First of all, he said he wasn’t targeting his body.
‘You have to be able to trust it.’
Isn’t the other person none other than a ‘misdiagnosis’?
Honestly, I couldn’t believe anything that came out of his mouth.
“I never thought karma would explode in a place like this.”
Is this exactly the situation for the shepherd boy?
As I lived a life of telling lies as if I was eating, I couldn’t tell what was real and what was a lie.
‘But if we assume it’s real.’
What is the purpose of Cheonma?
“… … .”
Even though I continued to worry, the answer did not come easily.
If Ha-eun’s happiness was really the only goal, there was no reason to gather the forces of the Demon Lord and invade Earth.
‘What’s certain is that we can’t trust him and remain silent.’
I couldn’t just go along with his plan just because he looked better than I thought.
Even if he looked fine on the outside, he was ultimately a ‘Heavenly Demon.’
Because it was a monster that destroyed a world and devoured countless lives.
“… “Isn’t that what I want to say?”
Oh Jin let out a self-deprecating laugh and let out a short sigh.
Anyway, I couldn’t relax unless I knew what the Heavenly Demon’s purpose was.
‘Anyway, it’s a gift.’
Normally, when you hear the word ‘gift’, your heart should be pounding and your heart flutters.
The moment the modifier ‘Heavenly Demon’ was added in front of it, I felt nothing but an ominous feeling.
‘I don’t know what kind of trick he might have pulled.’
Pretending to disappear but actually still remaining.
Or, he could have planned to make Black Heaven run away or forcefully control it.
“Whoa.”
Oh Jin quietly closed his eyes and looked for the ‘gift’ he had left behind.
Spreading the energy of the black sky throughout the body, he checked detailed changes from the unconscious space to the physical body.
‘Something has changed, though.’
That was because the energy of the Black Heaven became stronger as Ojin bloomed for the tenth time, but there was no change that felt like the Heavenly Demon’s masterpiece.
“What the hell…?” ?”
I checked several times to prepare for any possible risks, but the results did not change.
Ohjin tilted his head and slowly opened his closed eyes.
‘Should I go out soon?’
There was nothing more to be gained by remaining alone in this empty darkness.
Ojin concentrated his mind and awakened his consciousness.
The darkness surrounding me dissipated and the surrounding scenery came into view again.
Rumbling!
When I opened my eyes, I saw dark clouds covering the surroundings.
When I captured the dark clouds that covered the report like fog back into my heart.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
With a loud noise, the tightly closed door of the report burst open.
A black shadow poured out like a tidal wave beyond the wide open door and enveloped Ojin’s body.
“Ugh!”
In the sudden situation, Ojin quickly raised the magic power of the stigmata, but the unidentified attacker climbed on top of his body one step faster.
“You are here. “I thought you would hide a little tighter this time?”
A long, flailing tongue.
Brilliant platinum hair and eyes that shine like emerald green.
In an instant, a woman with a slender figure who did not seem to have overpowered Ojin raised her arm.
Slurp!
A snake’s head made of shadows was created at the tip of a pure white finger.
The woman’s emerald eyes shone coolly.
“Please die, Heavenly Demon.”
The shadow snake approached with its mouth wide open.
“Wait, wait, sleep!”
Oh Jin shouted urgently and shook his head.
“You didn’t see the person well, Cassia!”
“… Oh Jin?”
Cassia opens her eyes wide with an embarrassed expression.
“Huh? weird? There is definitely a sign of the Heavenly Demon here… .”
Seeing her tilting her head as if she couldn’t understand, Oh Jin was able to realize what the ‘gift’ Cheonma had prepared was.
‘It was better than I thought?’
gibberish.
Just as Oh Jin first thought, Cheonma was a crazy person even if he was crazy.
