Time regression.

How is that possible?

It has all become meaningless after the Tower of Perforation.

Must be a unique skill, a power, or the help of an item.

- After you found out who I was? Or was it before that? ”

Within that time, Yoon-suk also understood why she used the opportunity to ask questions.

She went through a time regression.

And I doubted that Yoon-suk was the same.

But…….

- It was a real feeling, and I'm not sure I had anything to say about it.

It was just an unsubstantiated doubt.

So I looked at it through two questions, and finally, I decided that Yoon-suk was not a regretter.

- I've solved all my questions. So ask questions carefully.

However, since then, the question of Yoon-suk was a problem.

- My mother loved grape jam. Is that really the only reason you got a nickname?

Just after I was sure I wasn't a regretter.

Yoon-suk asked as if he remembered things before regression.

Lee Su-yeon became confused.

The ‘solid trust’ is still active, so it can't be a lie.

But why is this happening?

- No, you said you knew after you hit him.

The shrewd head quickly senses contradictions in the conversation and adds even more confusion.

Find the answer that doesn't always get solved and ask outside, not yourself.

“But how...? ”

Yoon-suk pondered for a moment.

Whether to use the opponent's delusions to gain advantage, or ask them to talk to each other openly.

Emotionally, the latter is attracted, but rationally, the choice of the former is reasonable.

He would, too. After Yoon-suk concluded instead of the regretter, she decided that she had nothing else to find out.

There is no law against it.

“I thought this was the last question? ”

Yoon-suk naturally said.

Lee Su-yeon, who was eagerly waiting for his mouth to open, bites her lips as if she was furious.

“… do it. More. You must have more questions for me, too. ”

You're right.

However, all transactions are lost by the desperate.

“Yeah, but I just solved all the important stuff. ”

“Don't just spin your words in a vague manner, say it clearly. What do you want from me? ”

It's a little rough, but it's also a welcome gesture as Yoon-seok. Yun Seok said the essence without any useless vanity.

“Instead of continuing with the Q&A, let's adjust the ratio. ”

“… ratio? ”

“Yes. If I ask you three questions, why don't you ask me one? I'll go first, of course. ”

“This madness……. ”

Lee Su-yeon spit insults without me knowing.

However, he quickly changed his attitude about what he thought was the best way to do it.

“Okay. Once every three times. Do it.”

It was unexpected that they would not try to adjust the ratio.

Does it really matter if this is the regretter or not?

Even if I have to take the loss, I definitely want to check it with a question…….

Well, this isn't so bad either.

When the deal was concluded, Yoon-suk asked a question that he had prepared immediately.

“How did you get back into the past? ”

I thought I'd already been spotted, but at least I thought it was weird to see it.

Lee Su-yeon smiled bitterly.

And I responded with a resignation.

“I got a unique skill from an Engraving Statement on an Expedition Mission. His name was Time Control, and regression was an effect he chose in rank S. It's a random skill, and if you want it back, you can't get it back. Did you get an answer?”

It is not a rough answer, but a detailed answer.

Yoon-suk seemed to know why he told me so much.

Obviously, when it's his turn to answer,

You're asking me to answer them as well as you are.

‘Anyway, how many times can I regress...' ’

Yoon-suk, who heard the answer to his question, asked a second question.

“What is your final goal in this life? ”

When Lee Su-yeon came back.

Why I had to kill myself in my past life.

Who is the man who used himself all his life, and what life he was living.

I had a lot of questions, but personally, Yoon-suk felt that this question was the most important.

When I asked her for proof of her regression, she hesitated for a moment.

It has to be.

If you give me this one answer, I can think of a lot of analogies.

“Killing an entity called the Queen and putting an end to it. That's all I want. ”

The queen.

I came up with a keyword that I didn't think of.

And kill the queen to end it all?

Then, does the Queen have to be killed? To the point that the regretter feels this fateful?

I don't know. I'm not sure yet.

Yoon-suk left the questionnaire prepared and chose the last question.

“Why do you want to kill the queen? ”

“Apparently, you already know what a queen is. ”

Lee Su-yeon pretended to mutter to herself, but Yoon-suk didn't react much.

Lee Su-yeon said.

“I don't know about the tower and the Queen's origins. But the tower is gathering challengers from many dimensions to make them stronger to kill the queen. ”

This is the information I learned on my last mission.

As Yoon-suk's expression did not change again, Lee Su-yeon gave me a slightly doubtful answer.

“That is, if you kill the queen, it's all over. That way the tower no longer needs a challenger. When the time passes, everyone will be back to normal. ”

Saving the world with goals and regrets?

It felt like a typical novel character.

But all I could think about was vanity.

‘She didn't know that much either. ’

Yoon-suk asked again.

Killing the queen is the final goal of this life. Lee Su-yeon answered decisively.

“Of course, I want things too. But yes, it is. You can give up a few wishes for that goal. ”

That concludes three questions.

Then it's time for Lee Su-yeon to ask Yoon-suk.

She asked as if she had been waiting.

“Have you had time regression? ”

You can only answer yes or no questions.

Yoon-suk smiled and replied with a smile in a situation where there was no deviation from his expectations.

“Yes.”

Time regression?

I'm not lying.

I have experienced it clearly

“Though it was only five minutes. ”

Then, Lee Su-yeon, who was calling for cheerfulness, became dazed in Yoon-suk's adjunct description.

Instead of a long description, Yoon-seok gave out his watch.

After that, Lee Su-yeon checked the item information through 'emotion’ and left it as hard as a rock.

“Is this the end? Really? Don't try to cheat me. Then, how did you.... ”

The light flashes as she asks again.

After the 10-minute deadline, "solid trust" ended. But it didn't matter anymore.

Why did you even show me the clock in the first place?

It's simple. In fact, I tried to use it to get more information.

One didn't have to do that anymore.

If her purpose is to kill the queen.

I can't help but get caught up in this noose.

“ ……! ”

After Yoon-suk took out a small ticket that glowed blue from the subspace bag, Lee Su-yeon opened her mouth.

“Choi, the last burrow? I'm sure it's something that the Moorish woman will have. How did you...? ”

Luckily, she knew what this was.

* * *

“In the future, if you can answer my questions, I will accompany you one day when I use this ticket. ”

Yoon-suk didn't say long.

He simply offered the terms and conditions of the deal, and Lee Su-yeon responded.

“Good. If I'd known it was there anyway, I would've told you all about it and asked for your help. ”

We didn't know about each other, so we had a happy ending, but it finally came to order.

There is no time limit for Q&A.

Yoon-suk did not look around and asked all his questions.

“When did you return? ”

“August 11, 2020. I was betrayed by a trusted colleague during a mission. ”

She came from the future about a year later.

Unlike now, she has not become a ranker, the Duel Tower is closed, and she is on her way to the mission.

In addition, the Earth before the regression was different now.

The Duel Ranker is just a Fahrini that has been transferred to Seilandward. More than half of the world has been turned into a wasteland by the spilling invaders.

Yoon-suk asked me not to ask questions, but to tell him what I had done since regression.

“When I opened my eyes, I was fighting a second duel. ”

At the time, the opponent was the Horseman.

She was defeated in the original history because she used a peculiar function and did not find a countermeasure to it.

After returning home with one challenge in mind, she easily targets her weaknesses and wins.

“If I think about it now, maybe that's a start. The future has changed like this. You know what a butterfly means, right? ”

I know it's a famous theory.

A little butterfly flapping its wings could cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.

It is widely used in the sense that small changes in the early stages can make a huge difference to the event.

“I won without losing. That's why your fate has changed so much. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Because when I lost, you were the one I met next. ”

Lee Su-yeon met Yoon-suk in the third duel.

Then, using the point of being from Earth, he had a conversation and put a dagger in his neck to win.

It's an unfair strategy right now…….

As soon as I heard it, I thought it might be.

A time when there was no information and confusion about the tower.

If I met a Korean girl who was from Earth, then I would have been careless and responsive to conversations.

Wait a minute. When is the third duel? ’

Yoon-suk recalled his earliest memories.

First you meet the Orcs, then you have a battle with the Roman Coral. The next thing I saw was an unknown suicidal victim.

By reference, Yoon-suk obtained from him the basis of the hemopneumonia.

‘That was the first change. ’

It's worth it.

If the chance to get the 'Zero Spear' didn't just disappear, and you lost the third, you would have lost either 'Weapon Enhancement' or 'One Island' 'penalty…….

‘Everything will be different after that. ’

In the history of the world, there is a good chance that I did not meet the King of Steel or 1,000 horses.

Butterfly effect.

The gust that Lee Su-yeon summoned while returning the time was felt.

I was going to ask her all the questions I could after hearing all her stories, but I can't help but ask.

“What kind of life did I have? ”

“… do you want to hear it? ”

“Yes. All I remember is you killing me. Why did you have to kill him? Who else did I tell you he was using me for? ”

Lee Su-yeon hesitated for a moment.

“Kang Hyung-woo.”

“ ……? ”

“Because you were being used as a tool to Kang Hyung-woo, I had to kill you. ”

It was a completely unexpected answer.

Second of all, you're not the astronaut I thought you were.

“Why is he here? He's not from the duel, and he's been in the tower longer than me……. ”

“It doesn't matter who came in first. You wrote a subordinate contract on the sixth floor of the square. ”

Subcontracts.

Yoon Seok was stiff in that word.

I don't know what manager I had a contract with in my life before regression. One, even though he had a contract with El, he would not have gotten the Blood Necromancer.

Of course, I wouldn't have met Thousand Horses.

‘Is that the result……. ’

Yun Seok, who was powerless, became a slave in the 6th floor square.

Tastes bitter, but this causal effect alone is reasonable.

But the question remains.

What does this have to do with Kang Hyung-woo?

“Do you remember Eld Carta? ”

When Yoon-suk couldn't hide his excitement, Lee Su-yeon asked.

Eld Carta.

At first, I wanted someone, but I just remembered.

He was the man who built the square on the sixth floor and was the "great evil" that the referee's sword first and last defined.

“He made a contract with the same manager. After he left, Kang Hyung-woo left to take care of people. I heard you were in on it. ”

Lee Su-yeon collapsed after the duel tower.

Climbing the tower with you and a bunch of slaves that Kang Hyung-woo turned to adventure.

So he told them that Yoon-suk was the most intimidating member of the clan.

“ ……. ”

It didn't happen in this life.

Kang Hyung-Woo has already died by his hand.

Nevertheless, I was choked by the thought of imagining it.

How can there be such a tough story?
