Episode 19. Reason for escape (4)
“Have you been?”
“Bring me some tea.”
“Ah, yes.”
After a while, a oyster truck was placed in front of Hongwimun Gate. When mentally fatigued, he drank oyster song tea, not alcohol.
Shen Hui (申灰), who was looking at Hong Wei Wen, was quite surprised.
‘Are you serious?’
Hong Wi-moon’s face, which never loses a relaxed smile under any circumstances, was now quite stiff.
how much time has passed
It wasn’t until the tea had cooled down that Hong Wi-wen raised the cup.
“The Godhead.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
“Did I tell you what kind of place Gojukrim is?”
“yes. It is said that it is a Marim (魔林) that existed before the school settled down in Daesan, and that bizarre spirits live there. He also said that he would collect the spirit bamboo that grows there and make it into the elixir of the school.”
“okay. Gojukrim is such a place.”
Hong Yu-moon leaned back on the chair.
A smile appeared on his lips before he knew it, but his eyes were still cold.
“Do you know where the hardest part of the school is to dig into?”
That’s a very broad question. Besides, it wasn’t a question that would come out of nowhere while talking about Gojukrim.
“Are you talking about Gojukrim?”
“Gojukrim is excluded. Even the leaders cannot enter there without Master’s permission. My question is not whether we can physically go in, but whether we can plant our eyes.”
“Then it must be the military department. I heard that the general military’s control over the organization is so great that even the Majons dare not touch it.”
“Wrong. The military department is an organization that is easy to sneak into.”
“yes?”
“Chonggun is a rare genius. Rather, he is the one who will take advantage of Sejak and figure out the flow of the power struggle in the school. So it’s not that hard to dig into. It’s just that not everyone does that. Because it’s obvious that my movements will be caught.”
“… … if?”
“Ho Court.”
bubbling.
Haze rose in Hong Wi-moon’s teacup. The cold oyster song tea is boiling again.
“The Ho Court is a completely separate organization. They only exist to protect the headmaster and the church. It is completely different from other groups whose power determines the direction of the organization.”
“… … !”
“Of course, it consists only of the most loyal demons in the school. So no one cares about them. It doesn’t have to be, and it can’t be. Trying to shake them means the same as trying to shake the headmaster’s authority.”
“Yes… … That’s right.”
“So I didn’t care. No, I didn’t care. That was my negligence.”
“What are you talking about?”
Hong Wi-moon took a sip of tea.
The smile disappeared from his face again.
“He was alive.”
“… … yes?”
“Xiliang, he is still alive.”
The face of the Godhead hardened.
“Even now, eight months later?”
“They said they sent someone with a lot of experience and skill. Are you the head of the Ho Court?”
“No, anyway… … .”
Before entering Gojukrim, the three Gongja’s physical condition had improved greatly.
But even so, it is at the level of a good citizen who has not learned martial arts. With a body of just that level, he survived for eight months in a dangerous area where even Mazon-class personnel would have to be nervous? does this make sense?
“I can understand in a month. Even if it’s three months, I’d say But it doesn’t make sense that you can survive in that body for eight months.”
Even Hong Wi-moon, who said that, had never been to Gojuk-rim. In this generation, only a few high-ranking people, except for the guards, have set foot in Gojukrim.
But there are risks that can be guessed. These words came out of the mouth of the master and the religious leader, not anyone else.
– It would be difficult for anyone other than those who have reached the peak of demons to endure three months.
If it’s Master, then that’s it. Master’s words had that much weight and trust.
Of course, Xi Liang did not reach the extreme end. Then how could he have been alive until now?
Hong Wi-moon recalled the conversation with the master a while ago.
– The third seems to be holding up well.
– … … !
– I plan on calling soon.
– … … .
– Did I mention that you are targeting the youngest?
– … … yes.
– I get it.
The conversation with the master ended with that. Really, that conversation was everything.
Hong Wi-wen could not understand why the master would say such a thing to him. He couldn’t guess if he had called just to see her face, or if he had noticed something in that brief conversation.
‘It was always like that.’
The demon of heaven and earth. An existence incomprehensible to human common sense.
‘A person who only reigns but does not rule.’
Even though the disciples are aiming spears at each other, they do not intervene at all. I don’t know if he means that he has to overcome this level to win the next presidency, or if he has other intentions.
What kind of world is the world seen by the master? Is this world so worthless to God?
If only I could see what Master could see.

‘If you can fly to that realm… … !’
Hong Wi-moon, who was looking down at the teacup, opened her mouth.
“The Godhead.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
“Put some kids in his place.”
The eyes of Godhead shone.
Hong Wi-moon took a sip of tea. My mouth felt dry because of the heavy scent, but my head felt much clearer.
“Even Juhwa Ipma, Dokdo, and Marim couldn’t kill him. I thought that would be enough. Something?”
“… … Are you thinking of using your own hands?”
“directly? It can’t be. I don’t think this fight should be a dog fight. But what… … .”
“… … .”
“I don’t even want to stop killing out of resentment.”
Godhead’s eyes widened.
“Then the kids you told me to gather… … ?”
“We’re just handing knives. Whether or not to wield it is entirely up to them.”
Hong Wi-moon smiled widely. She felt a chill run down her spine at the smile that was brighter than ever.
“Isn’t that the way Master treats us? It’s like throwing it in hell and telling them to do it on their own. I think that’s fine.”
* * *
“Confucius!”
“Why again, man.”
“Calm down for now. You need to be a little more careful.”
“Prudence is a plague. It’s terrible because I’m tired of losing time while rolling my head.”
“You are still in a hurry! Don’t you still know what kind of monsters are near the deep parts of the rim?”
“Does anything change if you know?”
Ma Dong-pil was speechless for a moment.
Xu Liang said as he placed the zetakcho and tea leaves in his bosom.
“No matter what threats there are, it doesn’t change the fact that there is no time. And I have no intention of giving up the spiritual death there. Then I think there is no time to waste.”
“I will go to the Lord Ho. I’ll go and ask. I’m going to find out what kind of ghosts are in this and how to prepare for it. You should have at least some information… … .”
“I’ll say it again, it won’t change anything.”
Sureureung.
Xu Liang drew his sword.
It was a sword that Ma Dong-pil brought with Jetakcho and tea leaves. The sleek hwando with fine curves reached three cheok in length alone.
He snapped his fingers on the paper.
Teeing.
graceful sound. It was a sword worthy of being called Bodo (寶刀), unlike the weapons he had used so far.
“Why did the headmaster select only the top leaders and send them to get the spirit bamboo? If it was possible to prepare, I would have sent his subordinates ready.”
“… … .”
“For security? It can’t be.”
“… … Are you saying that if you’re not that strong, there’s no point in sending someone?”
“huh.”
“Then it’s even worse!”
Although they had been close for eight months, it was the first time he had reacted so violently.
“Confucius has become very strong. However, it is still not up to the level of the Majon of the Senate… … !”
As he spoke, Ma Dong-pil was sorry. It was because he thought that his words could sound rude to Confucius.
Shiryang didn’t care at all.
“that’s right. You can’t compare to the old masters of the Senate and the strongest Protestants.”
“… … Confucius.”
“But I have something they don’t have.”
“yes?”
back.
As he straightened his girdle, Xu Liang thought.
‘Amongyeonggong(暗影功), Dark God Yuche(暗神幽體).’
Until now, he had never practiced stealth in Gojukrim.
It didn’t have to be, it couldn’t, and it didn’t feel like it.
For Xu Liang, this was not a battlefield, but a training ground. Even if it was possible, there was no reason to use stealth to avoid threats.
But from now on, it’s different.
The depths of ancient bamboo forest are unknown territory. And the time given to him was about three months.
Gojukrim is no longer a training ground.
It has become a battleground of life and death to be attacked, to achieve the goal regardless of means and methods.
‘If you inhale Zetakcho, the maintenance time is half each. Considering the size of the ancient bamboo grove, half an angle is more than enough to go into the depths.’
He was called the King of Salsuji. Stealth was also at its peak.
However, it was not possible to use the dark body fluid with the existing method because the dark magic was changed to magic.
That’s why I needed a jetakcho. It’s because you have to kill demons to some extent to activate the dark god body.
It will consume a lot of internal energy, but simple capture and escape is enough.
‘If it’s a cancer body, it can fool even a high-ranking teenager. Even if they get caught, there’s no problem in escaping.’
What if it is impossible to even escape?
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
‘Then I have no choice but to make a mess.’
Ma Dong-pil hurriedly said.
“I don’t know what plan Confucius has. But it must be an acceptable room.”
“of course. I don’t want to die either.”
dump.
Ma Dong-pil got down on one knee.
“Confucius, I dare to risk my life to tell you.”
“Why are you so scared?”
“How about giving up the spirit death?”
“… … .”
“Even if it was thanks to the characteristics of Gojukrim, Confucius grew up so fast that it was incomprehensible. Even if it’s not a spiritual death in the depths, it’s enough to stand out in the near future… … .”
“Dongpil.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“I am not the type to take risks. If it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have risked my life to go there.”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry. Even though there were so many dangerous times in the past eight months, you are still alive right now, aren’t you?”
Ma Dong-pil sighed inwardly. Because no matter what he said, he realized that Master Confucius would not change his mind.
At first glance, a chill appeared on Seo-ryang’s face as he looked down at Ma Dong-pil.
I was going to get it anyway, but I had one more reason to get the spirit bamboo. So, for two days, I hurriedly dug into the efficacy of jetakcho and tea leaves.
‘If I leave Gojukrim, they’ll be targeting me again.’
I heard from Ma Dong-pil that the girl named Hong Yeo-rin was the younger sister of Sagong-ja. If we leave Gojukrim, those bloody Hong brothers and sisters won’t stay still.
The question is, does it end there?
‘Is it just a matter of resentment? perhaps… … .’
Maybe the disciples are in the middle of a bloody fight in the middle of the day.
The reason is unknown. The ulterior motive to eliminate competitors for the next presidency is the most likely, but even that is not certain.
Of course, it may not be a bloody battle between the disciples. However, Xi Liang believed that his prediction was correct.
If it was an attempt to kill a grudge, the extra senses couldn’t have missed the obvious murderous intent. That too for a whopping three months.
‘You have to be strong enough that you can’t even dare to touch it. That too in the near future.’
In order to find freedom, he was prepared to rot in Protestantism for as little as a year or as long as several years. If you don’t show that kind of dignity to the headmaster, he won’t let you go anyway.
However, I had no intention of rotting in discomfort every day.
If you touch me even when you realize the difference in rank… … .
‘At that time, the only thing left to do was to properly deal with the death penalty.’
Xu Liang punched his stomach.
“I’m waiting for you. I’ll come right away.”
“I can’t do that, Gongja.”
“It’s an order.”
“I’m sorry, but this is an order I can’t follow. If you are willing to go alone, behead me and go.”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“Only until the entrance to the depths. don’t come inside I will never allow it.”
“… … .”
“Answer?”
“… … I take orders.”
After all preparations were made, the two ran toward the depths of Gojukrim.
how long did it run
“… … ?!”
Seo Liang opened his mouth wide. A rare surprise was engraved on Ma Dong-pil’s face, which was like a rock.
On the way to the depths, the scene unfolded in front of the two people who entered the realm of green contact, which they thought was the last watchman.
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
On the left and right, countless ghosts were dead. The smell of rotting corpses vibrated along with heoyeon steam.
And the entrance to the road to the depths. A damp wind blew from the path made by the bamboo trees.
Wheein.
“… … reel?”
