Chapter 296: Seventy-Fifth Floor, The Old Man and the Spirits (2)
[Resolve the old man’s regrets. Time remaining: 11 hours 54 minutes.]
Startled, I instinctively questioned him, “Return to the past?”
That hardly sounded simple, but Hyun merely nodded calmly. “Yes.”
I couldn’t even begin to fathom what he meant.
How would I do that?
While I was familiar with regression—Ha Hee-Jeong was around me all the time, after all—this didn’t feel the same.
If he wanted me to do a time regression, I wouldn’t be here right now.
Besides, regression was supposed to be impossible. Just look at Master of the Five Carriage Wheels, the one responsible for Ha Hee-Jeong’s return. Even a first-class god like her had suffered a backlash so severe that she had been sealed.
Although Hyun was a shaman, in the end, he was merely an old man. There was no logical way he could achieve something like regression.
A wave of doubt rippled through my mind.
Even if returning to the past is possible, why summon me? If Hyun knows what happened, shouldn’t he go back and resolve it himself?
Then again, if the past was unalterable, perhaps calling on me was somewhat valid. My brain churned for a matter of seconds, but I still couldn’t conclude how I would respond.
