ALL NOVEL chapter 81
Approach (5)
A delicate golden pocket watch suddenly revealed through the split wall.
It was just like what I had seen in my dreams.
‘It was real… ?’
Even after seeing the scene unfolding before my eyes, I could not easily accept it.
dream come true
No matter how in a world where superpowers and magical powers exist, it was a difficult situation to believe.
“… Brother, what are you doing?”
At that moment, Jin Seo-won’s voice broke through the silence.
“Ah, yes. I have to take it out… .”
I came to my senses and carefully reached out and took out the golden watch.
Suck-
That moment.
“!”
Along with a slight vertigo, a large amount of unknown information began to flow into my head.
… … Incomplete pocket watch. Ex grade. memory. 10 years… …
It was all about the golden watch… .
‘… uh?’
As I pondered the information, I was startled by the strange word that came to my mind.
return.
It was once so familiar, but now it felt so unfamiliar.
‘In this world… . Does regression exist?’
The official name of the golden watch is ‘incomplete pocket watch’.
As an item that can turn back time in the world by preserving the user’s memory,
Due to incomplete performance, it was an Ex-class item with the restriction that it must be returned more than 10 years.
‘… Nonsense… .’
Is there any other day when I fell into this world and received such a big shock?
Obviously, there is no item called ‘pocket watch’ in my memory.
This pocket watch does not even appear in the original novel in the first place, meaning that it is truly an unknown item.
‘What the hell is this… .’
It felt as if the common sense I had believed until now was completely denied.
If this item had appeared in the original novel, the original novel would not have ended in vain.
The earth would not have been destroyed because it could not properly cope with the demon king’s invasion,
Seol Joo-hee, who fell into despair, took her own life and met a tragic end.
“… what’s the matter?”
I woke up to Jin Seo-won’s voice and grabbed the watch tightly— I replied with a smile, pretending it was nothing.
“Nope. just… . I was thinking about something.”
“… what is that?”
She looked at the watch she was holding in her hand and asked a question.
Involuntarily, I gently pulled out my hand and frowned.
“This is the item I was looking for… . yes i found it thanks Thank you very much.”
OK.
“… yes.”
Jin Seo-won looked away with a faint smile, as if it was good to just be praised.
Apparently, he wasn’t very interested in what this item was.
“Then, now that we’ve done everything we need to do, let’s go back soon.”
“… Are you done?”
“for now?”
Jinseowon licks her lips to see if she has something to say.
As if thinking of something, she quickly shut her mouth— and quietly turned away.
“… … .”
On the way back to the outside of the cave with Jinseowon in front.
I pondered the existence of pocket watches.
Every item that exists in the work, that is, in the original novel ‘Strongest Gosu’, which is the basis of this world, was created for a certain purpose.
For example, it was made for Seol Joo-hee in the original story, or it was made to show the strength of the characters in the story.
In the same sense, it can be interpreted that this pocket watch was also made for a certain purpose… .
It had a cheat-level performance called regression, which made it even more questionable.
‘Who was going to use this? Why are you in my dream?’
That time when I blankly followed Jinseowon with so many questions.
Jin Seo-won stopped quietly and spoke to me.
“… brother. tent.”
It was a story about asking them to take out the items they brought in in advance so as not to get wet by the waterfall.
“Oh, wait a minute.”
It was then that he came to his senses late and was about to rummage through the bag he was wearing.
‘… what?’
I suddenly had a thought.
Why did the author add the condition that these fraudulent items must be returned for at least 10 years?
‘In 10 years… . It’s even before the novel begins.’

Making an EX-class item called a pocket watch means that it was made to appear in the work anyway.
But in the setting of ‘regression’ that will shake the foundation of the story… .
What is the reason for adding the subtle condition of ‘more than 10 years’?
“… brother?”
Realizing something belatedly, I stared blankly at Jinseowon standing in front of me.
Jin Seo-won.
The heinous psychopath killer, Heavenly Demon.
She, who was destined to become a ‘heavenly horse’ after losing In-kyung Yoon, who was like her family, is now standing in front of me as the ace of the team Seoul City Hall.
“… no way… .”
A creepy sensation running through your body.
I start to question myself, which I have never doubted before.
Why would the author, who was disappointed with the sudden ending, create an item that turns back time, with a specific condition of 10 years?
Perhaps to return ‘someone’ to the past.
In other words… .
That there is an extrovert that I am not aware of.

“If you are tired, you can sleep.”
“… it’s okay.”
After exiting the gate and eating at a nearby barbecue restaurant.
Do Ji-hyuk, who had done all his chores, was driving straight to Seoul… .
‘… Why is there no story?’
Jin Seo-won, who was waiting for an important event, had a big question about Do Ji-hyuk’s behavior, which showed no action even after eating.
‘… Shall I ask?’
The easiest way to resolve a question is to ask the person concerned.
However.
Jin Seo-won, who was instructed not to do anything from In-kyung Yoon, a love expert, could not speak.
[I will listen to the requested song. Lee Ji-yeon’s sinful man. ]
How long had it been since I was driving down the highway while listening to the music playing on the radio?
“… brother.”
In the end, Jin Seo-won, who could not stand it, began to notice.
“… If you keep going, will you be in Seoul?”
“yes?”
“… Are we going to Seoul?”
“uh… . right… ?”
But… .
‘Why are you doing this… ?’
Despite Jin Seo-won’s efforts, Do Ji-hyuk did not notice her heart.
At first, I thought of her as a cute little sister, so I couldn’t even imagine that.
“… okay.”
“… … ?”
In the end, Jin Seo-won shuts her mouth again.
She looked out the window quietly, thinking that Do Ji-hyuk had plans too.
‘… Are you taking me to the motel?’
Is there any other place as good as a motel for the first relationship?

Moreover, Jin Seo-won, who had not yet experienced a motel, had no choice but to expect even more because he had a subtle fantasy in the motel itself.
‘… The house is nice too.’
Of course, the best place for Jin Seo-won is Do Ji-hyuk’s house.
Because she was shy in many ways, Do Ji-hyuk’s house, full of familiar scents, was the best place to experience it for the first time.
‘… lodging… .’
Except for accommodation.
Han-na Bang is currently living in the dormitory where Jin Seo-won lives.
The soundproofing is quite good, and there is quite a distance between the rooms… .
If you close your mouth well, you might not be able to hear it.
‘… where should we go… ?’
How long has it been since Jin Seo-won rubbed her chubby thighs to soothe her burning body?
[ About 500 meters to the destination ]
I was getting close to my house,
“… brother.”
Jin Seo-won, who started to feel anxious, began to pay attention again carefully… .
“… Where are we going?”
“yes? I will go home.”
Do Ji-hyeok started pouring out remarks like clear skies.
“I’m glad it ended earlier than expected. Let’s go home, rest, and have dinner with Hannah. Oh, shall we all watch a movie together after a long time?”
Let’s not go out on a date, until we each take a break with a third party.
“Well, is there a movie you want to see?”
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like it.
‘… … .’
Jin Seo-Won suddenly broke down in an unexpected situation.
‘Why are you doing this?’
In fact, Do Ji-hyuk continued to drive the car without feeling any strangeness.
In the end, Jinseowon’s desire could not be resolved today.

the way home.
“… … .”
I was feeling a little puzzled by the strangely sunken look of Jinseowon.
‘Is there anything you want to do… ?’
It was as if he had a pout, as if he was hoping for something, but he suddenly shut his mouth, so it was hard to guess.
‘What… , I can calm you down slowly.’
I’m sorry for Jin Seo-won, but I need some time today.
Because there were so many things to think about since I realized the possibility of an abduction.
If, as I had guessed, the author had serialized a side story with the subject of ‘regression’, he would surely have devised a content to rectify the ruined ending.
For example, like I raised Joo-hee Seol in advance.
Thinking in that way also explains the 10-year limitation.
10 years from the battle with the Demon King is similar to the time when I made Queens,
According to my calculations, 10 years is the best time to prepare for the future.
Perhaps in that sense, the writer also put a condition of 10 years or more on the pocket watch.
The question is, who is the protagonist of the story?
The pocket watch transmits the user’s memory intact.
If so, it means that people who used pocket watches can exist even in this day and age… .
I have not yet seen a person who shows a direction different from the original to the extent that it affects the future.
‘Isn’t anyone using a pocket watch yet? ?’
ding–
Team Seoul City Hall’s dormitory arrived with such doubts.
“I need to talk to Hannah in advance.”
“… … .”
I, who had decided to tell Han-na in advance, got off the elevator with Jin Seo-won.
“ah. Seo Won-ah. Can you go in first and tell Hannah that you’re here?”
“… … .”
Then, just in case, I sent Jinseowon into the house first… .
Kudangtang-
Soon after, a loud noise was heard from inside.
“!”
I, who was waiting at the front door, hurriedly entered the house, startled,
“Guys! what happened… ! Ugh… .”
As soon as I reached the living room, I stopped for a moment at the strong scent of alcohol stinging my nose.
“Oh… . It’s Puroduseo… !”

Maybe he drank alcohol, or Hanna was lying on the floor in the living room with her body dyed red.
“… … .”
Jin Seo-won, who was standing next to her, was looking at her with a strangely pathetic look.
‘What’s this… ?’
After calming my startled heart and trying to regain my composure, I carefully spoke to Hanna Bang to understand the situation.
“Hannah, you’ve been drinking… ?”
OK.
“No… , I didn’t drink… !”
She, who looked drunk, staggered and began to stand up.
“But, do I look like I’m drunk? to?!”
“Ugh, I fall… !”
I was startled by her closeness, and I hurriedly supported her.
“Once you sit down… .”
right then
“hey.”
“… me?”
Hanna Bang started talking nonsense to me at first.
“Yeah, you. Do Ji-hyuk, you… !”
It seemed like a lot of things had piled up on me.
“You, Do Ji-hyuk… ! It… !”
She struggles as if something doesn’t work out.
“Hannah. Because once I know… . Seo Won-ah! Help me!”
“… … .”
In that moment, she mobilized Jinseowon to appease Hanna, who was drunkenly.
“Do Ji-hyuk, you… . On the topic of dating Lim Arin… ! You hit me by the tail again?!”
“… uh?”
“… … ?”
Hanna Bang suddenly burst into tears and shouted.
“You… . You said you have a girlfriend… !”
