Episode 408 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ (10)
An unusual sound was heard from the market office in the heart of paradise.
“I can’t let him go like this. Aaah! If I’m left alone, I -”
It was the most popular drama in Paradise, and the female lead’s beauty was particularly outstanding.
Leon’s secretary said with interest.
“Does the mayor see this too?”
“…”
The mayor’s eyes, which seemed to be piercing through the TV, turned to the secretary.
“Huh! Oh, no. It’s such a popular drama. It’s, uh, fun.”
“…”
“I am speaking out of turn -”
“Timothy.”
“yes?”
“Who usually writes the lines for dramas?”
“Ambassador… . Are you talking about that? Isn’t that usually a drama writer?”
“If the dialogue, development, etc. suddenly change on the spot, who will be affected?”
Timothy was very embarrassed.
Because I’ve never been interested in the process of producing a drama.
Fortunately, there was an employee who had some level of expertise.
“Usually in those cases, it’s either the actor’s ad-lib or the director’s influence. And….”
“…”
“…”
“And? Why did you stop talking?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. There are 2nd class high-level informants stationed at the scene, and they often intervene.”
“I understand.”
Leon, who continued to watch the drama, sighed at the growing sense of discomfort.
Of course, he had never enjoyed anything like a soap opera, either before or after his return.
However, before returning, he loved his daughter and never missed a drama in which Songi starred as ‘Elena’.
different.
It was so different from the drama I saw before returning.
In this case, the answer is clear.
There is a being that is aware of the regression, and that being has intervened in the broadcast.
Why?
There are so many reasons to think of that there is no need to list them all.
Because the impact that you can have on a city when you get your hands on a broadcasting station is truly enormous.
Therefore, it must be identified.
—————————-
“Elena, what will Leon think when he sees the changed development of the drama?”
“Is anyone aware of the regression and intervening?”
“Yes. Leon will probably be suspicious of the Demon Lord worshippers. They can go outside the city. He will think that they happened to be outside the city when they returned.”
“Hey, Mr. Gain, what if the mayor starts killing people in the broadcasting industry, including me?”
“That can’t be. He’s a regressor.”
“yes?”
—————————–
Who among those involved in the production of the drama is a demon lord worshipper?
Leon, who had been thinking all night, burst into laughter.
“I wish I had known nothing.”
If he didn’t know anything, he might have used his secret agents as the ruler of the city to assassinate everyone from directors to actors.
But Leon knew better.
“None of these guys worship the devil.”
This is because before returning, secret agents were sent to the sect to identify most of its members.
No one on set, including the director, screenwriter, actors, and high-level informers, is a demon lord worshipper.
So the conclusion was clear.
“Did the devil worshipper approach them? Timothy!”
“Yes, sir.”
“Call the people on this list within the next week. The excuse is…. Tell them that they had fun filming the drama, so give them an award.”
“All right.”
—————————–
“He’ll probably meet the drama production team and question them. He’ll do it himself. His subordinates don’t understand regression.”
“Well, then! Leon Kadyrov and I can have a private meeting?”
“Yes.”
“Then I have to assassinate him!”
“…”
“… no?”
“No. At this point, Leon won’t be able to trust Elena, so there will be enforcers around.”
—————————–
— Squeak!
The door opened and a girl with gorgeous blonde hair came in.
“Elena, I’ve been watching ‘Gone with the Storm’ with great interest lately.”
“Oh my! I’m honored that you are watching my drama.”
“It’s an honor. By the way, Miss Elena. Can I ask you a personal question?”
“Of course.”
“Has anyone strangely approached you recently?”
“…”
“What seems to be happening?”
“Oh, my lord… .”
“Haha, there’s no need to misunderstand. I know very well that there’s nothing wrong with you, Miss Elena. Flowers are bound to attract bees.”
“…Thank you. Actually, I met a rather unusual girl recently.”
“Are you the girl with black hair?”
“Huh? How about that -”
“Your eyes shine blue like sapphires?”
“Huh? That’s not it. If you were to compare it to a gem, it would be more like a ruby than a sapphire.”
“We really met. Don’t worry about it, I just tried it once.”
“…”
“Miss Elena, that woman is an apostle of the Demon King’s cult.”
“What, what did you say?”
“Listen carefully to what I say from now on. This is a very important story for Paradise and for Miss Elena herself.”
*
Late one night, a woman stepped out of her house alone.
I thought I was walking straight along the road, but then I suddenly turned left, and then I thought I was going in that direction, but then I suddenly turned back.
As she was walking around in confusion, at one point she leaned against the wall of an alley.
— Knock! Knock!
“…”
“You’re here.”
“yes.”
“Elena, have you prepared an answer to the suggestion I made earlier?”
“sure.”
“I hope this is a good answer.”
“…”
The next moment, a whistle burst out from Elena’s waist.
— Beep!
“Ugh! What the -”
Informers rushing in from all directions, a black-haired girl with a shocked expression trying to run away.
The ending of the escape was decided.
This is because the informers sent by the market had surrounded the place where Elena and Ari were supposed to meet from the beginning.
At the last moment, Ari and Elena’s eyes met as they were being dragged away by the informer.
Ari mouthed, “Good job.”
—————————–
“What should I do after I reveal that I met Ari?”
“Sell it.”
“Huh? What, what did you say?”
“Don’t worry, Arido agreed.”
“Kko, do you have to do it like that? There’s another way -”
“You have to make Leon truly trust you. Only then will Elena have a chance.”
—————————–
The mayor approached Elena, who was leaning against the wall with a tired expression.
“You’ve worked hard. This will surely be a great blessing for the future of Paradise. Of course, you’ve also gained a sponsor in the form of a country -”
“Mayor.”
“hmm?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“What do you want to say?”
Elena said with her eyes shining brightly.
“Do you trust the informers?”
At the moment when the market was panicking, the information officers guarding the side glared.
“Hey! Just because you’re a popular actor, do you think you can say whatever you want? What do you believe in -”
“Jonathan.”
“yes?”
“Elena and I are talking. Who gave you permission to interrupt?”
“… I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Miss Elena, please finish what you were going to say.”
“I’m sorry. Of course, the loyalty of the informers guarding the city is beyond doubt. However… .”
“but?”
“When I met someone from the church the other day – well, of course I didn’t know he was from the church at the time!”
“I know, so tell me step by step.”
“When I met the church members the other day, they said there was someone they had planted on the informer’s side. His name was… . Uh, Cha Jin-cheol?”
The mayor looked at Elena with shining eyes.
Because the Cha Jin-cheol that came out of her mouth was clearly a traitor within the informer.
“Tell me more.”
Elena looked at the surrounding informers with a prickly expression and kept her mouth shut.
It’s a sign that it’s difficult to speak in front of them.
Leon nodded immediately.
“Do you have time this evening?”
“Of course.”
“It’s an honor to have dinner with the most famous actor in paradise.”
“Thank you, Mayor Leon.”
—————————–
“By the way, while you’re selling Ari, please sell Jincheol hyung too.”
“…”
“If you’re going to sell, you should sell it at a high price so that the market will trust Elena. Since Jincheol hyung is likely dead at that point anyway, it’s not really a loss.”

– Elena
I thought about this while riding the elevator going up to the sky of paradise.
It really worked.
The ‘mayor assassination plan’ that Gain and Ari created.
I had doubts about whether I would succeed, but I came close to success.
It may be complicated, but the core of the plan is simple.
There is only one purpose.
I, Elena Ivanovna, will somehow get to the floating mansion!
As long as I can get to the mansion, something will work out.
Because that place is a place where ‘indomitable reason’ cannot suppress our superpowers.
How can I get sent to the floating mansion?
The market has to trust me.
I need to convince you that I am not a devil worshipper and that I have valuable information.
Lastly, if you make the informer suspicious, it will be the icing on the cake.
It worked. Really.
If the mayor had been an ordinary person, he would not have noticed the change even after watching the drama.
Even if they had noticed the change, they would have tried to deal with the drama production team.
I was fooled because I was a regressor.
Since he was a regressor, he noticed the change in the drama and instead of harming the drama production team, he tried to find out who was hiding behind it.
— Ding!
“…”
Finally arrived at the floating mansion.
I feel my strength returning.
That moment when you try to bring up ominous imaginations to end it all in one go.
— Clang!
Machine guns sprouted from all over the mansion and aimed at me.
The floating mansion’s security system has started working!
“uh?”
“…”
I can’t understand.
What the hell is going on?
At that moment, a quiet voice from the market was heard.
“Come here and sit down. Be careful, you’ll end up in a beehive the moment you do something useless.”
“…”
“I guess you don’t understand the situation.”
“…”
“Who planned to send Janelle here?”
“…”
“Is that the young man? Or an apostle of the Demon King’s cult? Either way, he seems to be quite intelligent.”
At this point I accepted it.
The market has caught wind of our plans.
From the beginning? No.
If you had known from the beginning, you would not have brought me here.
I realized it in the middle. When in the middle?
Did I do something wrong in the elevator?
“I have a question for you. I would like you to answer honestly.”
“What is it?”
“What are you planning to do? Are you planning to kill me here?”
“… Then what?”
“What happens after killing?”
My head started hurting more and more.
I couldn’t understand the intent behind the market’s question.
“What on earth are you trying to say -”
“Phew… .”
A sigh that sounds somewhat tired.
“You don’t know anything. You’re just a chess piece. Does your friend who plays chess know anything? Or is he the same?”
“What do you mean? Since earlier?”
“Let’s stop here. The drama was fun to watch. I’ll kill you without any pain.”
I thought as I watched the mayor lightly waving towards the security system.
Yeah, I’ll admit it.
I don’t know what’s going on, but you’re a very smart mayor.
Gain and Ari are really smart, and I know you’re just as smart.
admit!
Your hair is better than mine.
but.
Leon Kadyrov overlooked one fact.
As a resident who has lived in a world of ‘ordinary humans’ created by indomitable reason, I must have fallen into this trap.
— Laaaaah!
In the midst of the billowing golden waves – I saw a sight that filled the eyes of the arrogant market with shock.
“So you should have cherished your daughter.”
From the moment I arrived at this location, there was no chance of a reversal for the market.
