I’m not a Regressor

I am not a regressor Episode 440 Lie

(13)

“The last… lie?”

Oh Jin looked at himself in the video with an expression of incomprehension.

Are you suddenly lying?

What is there to lie about in this situation?

-Well, even if I say this, if I were you at the time of watching this video, you wouldn’t understand anything about what I’m saying.

Accurate.

“This… is it really me who took the picture?”

How can you predict your situation so accurately two years in advance when you don’t even have a face-to-face conversation?

“That’s right. If it’s Ojini, it’s definitely…”

Ha-eun clenched her fists with trembling eyes.

Two years ago.

I remembered Ojin being locked in his room for a month, mumbling something into his smartphone.

‘This is it.’

Oh Jin knew from then on.

That he would lose all his memories.

-Then, before we begin, I should first give a brief explanation.

In the video, Oh Jin opened his mouth quietly.

-I am now… Is this what I call you? Um… Anyway, for convenience, I’ll call you ‘you’. Anyway, right now you probably don’t remember anything about me.

Heavenly Demon Did that bastard feel like this?

Ohjin continued speaking in the video, muttering as if grumbling.

-Not long ago, I had an encounter with Cheonma. To be precise, rather than confronting him, I was unilaterally playing into his hands.

Heavenly horse?

Who is the Heavenly Demon again?

-Even if you don’t understand, just listen. You’ll all ‘find out’ anyway.

“…under.”

A smile escaped Ojin’s lips.

Did your past self even know what you were thinking now?

-I didn’t fight properly. Looking at him this time, there is one thing I can be sure of.

In the video, Oh Jin’s voice became heavy and subdued.

-There is no way to stop him right now unless I give up everything.

everything.

Among them, perhaps even ‘oneself’ is included.

-How could it be possible if the opponent you have to block is just the Heavenly Demon? There is one way I have thought of this.

Ha-eun’s shoulders were shaking as she was watching the video.

She knew better than anyone else what the ‘method’ that Oh Jin Young was talking about was.

-The problem is the darkness he possesses. Even if the Heavenly Demon dies, his Dark Heaven will not disappear.

“You all… knew.”

I just thought that Oh Jin had given up on everything and was a ruined person, stuck in a corner of his room.

He knew it all from the beginning.

-In the end, there is no other way to stop the Black Heaven from swallowing the consciousness of the Heavenly Demon than to give up.

You can stop the Heavenly Demon only if you give up everything.

then.

The reason I left this video…

-But I don’t want to give up anything?

The day I first faced the Heavenly Demon in the Demon World.

Ojin made up his mind.

I swore and resolved.

He grabbed everything he could get his hands on.

I will protect it all.

-So I thought. How to deal with an enemy that can only be defeated by giving up everything without giving up anything.

A way to deal with an enemy that can only be defeated by giving up everything without giving up anything. “

There’s no way something like that could exist.

”

-Once I came here, I tried a few things. To conclude, there is no such method.

Isn’t it obvious?

There is no way a solution can be found when the proposition of the problem is contradictory to begin with.

-therefore. I’m going to change the order.

“Change the order…?”

In the video, Oh Jin raised the corners of his mouth as if to answer the question that came out.

-Once you give up everything. I will get back everything I gave up.

indeed.

Did you mean that?

If there is a door that can only be opened by putting down the treasure in your hand.

All you have to do is put it down for a moment, open the door, and then pick it up again.

-Listen carefully. Because starting now is important.

In the video, Oh Jin calmed down his slightly rough voice and continued speaking.

-There are only two things that I have and that the Heavenly Demon does not.

Existing between two misdiagnoses.

Difference between the two.

-One is ‘Lyra Stigmata’. Thanks to Vega’s stigmata, I can handle the Black Sky much more easily than that guy.

Now that I think about it, did Cassia tell her to use ‘Stigmata’ when she first woke up?

but.

“I… can’t wear the stigmata.”

I’ve been putting in a lot of effort over the past month to try using Stigmata.

In the end, the Lyra stigmata engraved on his left chest showed no response.

-The second is ‘Lie’. I can lie to myself and create false memories or illusions. Well, you can think of it as a kind of self-brainwashing.

“Ah…”

When I said that I would tell the last ‘lie’ earlier, did I mean brainwashing myself?

“…creating false memories through lies.”

then.

Is it okay for one to live believing false memories made of lies as the ‘truth’?

“Is that… a way to get back everything you gave up?”

Memories that are made up of false memories.

Is it really possible to say that living by believing that this is real can be said to be ‘recovered’?

-why? Don’t you like it?

It was as if he had anticipated this kind of reaction.

In the video, Oh Jin chuckled.

-Of course you won’t like it. Memories that can be obtained through lies are just ‘fake’ anyway.

-No matter how good I am at lying, I can’t live my life believing fake memories to be real.

-Eventually, as time goes by, the lies will unravel. It will be back to square one.

then.

What on earth should I do?

-therefore.

In the video, Oh Jin spoke softly.

-You’re not the one trying to trick me this time.

“I… I’m not?”

So what on earth is this lie for?

-The Black Heaven I possess knows that I can use lies. Because I used it until I got sick of it every time I trained.

but.

-The Dark Heaven possessed by the Heavenly Demon does not know that I can create false memories.

The Black Heaven that Ojin possesses and the Black Heaven that Cheonma possesses.

The two dark heavens have mixed and now become one.

Even if they become one, it cannot be said that the dark heaven that the Heavenly Demon possesses has completely disappeared.

Just as if you mix blue clay and red clay, it doesn’t mean you’ll be completely stained with either color.

-If a false memory created by a lie enters. The consciousness of the Heavenly Demon will know if it is real and will rush in to eat it.

but.

-The Black Heaven I originally had wouldn’t attack me because I knew it was ‘fake’.

in other words.

That moment.

At that point.

-Heukcheon will split in two again.

Even if it splits, it does not mean that it is cut cleanly in half as if cut with a knife.

What was mixed and became one is now split into two.

It will most likely be torn apart in a messy and violent manner.

-Of course, the time it is split in two won’t be very long. The Black Heaven possessed by the Heavenly Demon is probably not that stupid.

Soon you will realize that the new memories are fake and you will return to your original position.

-Before that happens.

In the video, Oh Jin stared at the screen with burning eyes.

-Get out with my memories that are eaten inside.

“…ah.”

A low exclamation flowed from Ojin’s mouth.

I couldn’t tell exactly what the things he was talking about in the video, such as Heukcheon and Cheonmani, were.

But one thing.

I knew for sure that there was a way to get back everything I had lost.

“Is this possible?”

Ha-eun looked back at Vega as if it was hard to believe.

[I don’t know much about it either. But…]

Ugh.

He clenched his fists and his eyes shined like stars.

[If it’s Oh Jin’s lie, it might be possible.]

“But even so, this…”

[You haven’t seen Oh Jin training that much, so you don’t know.]

Vega goes outside while Ha-eun and Isabella are asleep and is alone. I remembered Ojin practicing.

Oh Jin was gasping for breath with the skin on his entire body dead, as if he had been injured.

[Even though the lies this child is telling are fake, he is able to create an illusion that is infinitely closer to the truth.]

That’s right.

Just as he planned, it was an illusion so perfect that ‘Heukcheon’ was fooled.

“But wasn’t the lie itself a skill obtained through the power of the Black Sky in the first place?”

[No. Although he used the ability of the Black Sky to help him concentrate, it is essentially a technique unrelated to the Black Sky.]

Vega shook his head resolutely.

This was neither the power of Black Heaven nor the power of Stigmata.

It was a skill he acquired solely through Oh Jin’s efforts… no, it was a skill he learned through his ‘life’ itself.

He didn’t even get the Heavenly Demon, which had a different fate than him.

His own.

‘Ojin’s’ unique technology.

-You only get one chance.

In the video, Oh Jin spoke in a deep voice.

-If it’s too late to find my consciousness in the split black sky… or if I can’t get out. Even the memories you have of that month will disappear.

“….”

Oh Jin’s expression hardened.

A month of memories.

To others, it may be nothing.

At least for me now, everything was at stake.

-What are you going to do? You can turn off the video if you don’t want to. Unlike him, I won’t force my thoughts on you.

“…I am.”

Ohjin looked down at the smartphone screen and bit his chapped lip.

The reason he gave himself ‘one month’.

I was finally able to realize the reason.

‘You’re asking me to choose.’

Just like you did.

no.

Just like ‘I’ did.

“under.”

A smile escaped Ojin’s lips.

“You bastard, do you even know what decision I’m going to make?”

asked Oh Jin in the video.

In the video, Oh Jin burst into laughter as if answering his question.

-Now then, the fact that I didn’t turn off the video up to this point can be seen as a decision, right?

“ha.”

Ohjin sighed deeply and nodded.

-Of course, it won’t be as easy as I described.

no.

I can tell that it’s not easy just by listening to the explanation.

-Even though it is a conscious space, the pain will be the same as in reality.

-It must be painful enough to die, and even more painful than that.

-are you okay. Since it is a ritual space, if you can endure it, you will never actually die.

It doesn’t look good at all.

Oh Jin swallowed a bitter smile and looked at himself in the video.

-If it were you… no, if it were me, I could do it.

because.

-Something that can be resolved with patience…

I wonder why.

What do you want to say next?

It suddenly popped into my head.

“Because it’s nothing.”

-Because it’s nothing.
