Episode 1003.
To the abyss (3)
The devil….
‘That sounds interesting.’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Nam Gung-in’s face.
Bloodshot eyes. Pale complexion.
The skeleton was normal, but the body hiding the strong muscles was quite shrunken.
It’s not that I was shrunk by poison. I didn’t lose muscle because I skipped meals.
This is entirely due to psychological trauma.
Yeon Ho-jeong was now more knowledgeable about the human body than anyone else. It was like that before, but after awakening to the Yellow Dragon, I knew very well how the body works and how mysterious substances are secreted within the human body.
There are cases where a young man who has not yet reached the terms of service may turn gray overnight if he receives a strong mental shock.
Namgungin’s body is also like that. Although he possesses powerful internal energy, even his internal energy at its peak could not prevent the rapid changes in his body. That was how big the shock was.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly examining Namgung-in’s body, suddenly said.
“He knows me.”
“I know. “Who is this person that doesn’t know you?”
Namgoongin giggled and laughed.
He seemed like he was out of his mind. Or, he seemed like a desperate person.
Probably both. I was desperate and probably on the verge of losing my mind.
“The rumors about you seem to have been greatly reduced from what you actually did. That alone is enough to make you famous for being the best in the central region. After all, just reaching Seongcheon at that age is worthy of being considered a great article.”
“….”
“Maybe what he said is right. you are the devil With his devilish talent and possessed vision, he turned the world upside down in just a few years. Who would be able to do something like that? “In this world with no end in sight.”
Namgung-in filled his glass again.
Now I see that my hands are shaking slightly. Even though if you use your inner strength, that won’t happen.
In other words, it means that the body has been damaged to the extent that it is necessary to use internal energy.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Stop drinking.”
“It’s hard to keep this spirit if you don’t even drink alcohol. Are you planning to kill my spirit, which is somehow holding on?”
“….”
“Leave it alone. “My life is so ruined because of you.”
“because of me?”
thud!
In the eyes of Namgung-in, who roughly placed the bottle of alcohol, intense jealousy and deep anger appeared, and a sense of self-destruction with no end in sight.
“It’s because of you.”
The tone of speech changed.
“Nothing worked because I was involved with you! My daughter and my son go forward and see each other! “If it weren’t for you, maybe my family could have really become the best!”
“There were too many scary people to say something like that.”
“We have always dreamed of being the best! Guju’s famous family? under! Everyone unanimously praised them as the best family in the world, but the historical families and clans actually laughed at them! Because everyone knew that just because you have great power doesn’t mean you’re the best in the world!”
“….”
“We had a lot of evidence to take them down! I was preparing step by step to take flight and step on them at some point! But before that, you showed up!”
Namgung-in’s eyes have now become those of a male madman.
“It started from then. From then on, you ruined everything. “If only you hadn’t become so strong, if only you weren’t in charge of my cases!”
“….”
“If only you shared enough information about the Three Religions! If that were the case, the main family could have surpassed everyone and become the best!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
“The reason you didn’t become the best is simple.”
“It’s because of you!”
“No, it’s because you don’t know how to see the world properly.”
Namgoongin’s face became distorted.
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a calm yet fatal tone.
“You were preparing to take down the Nine Zhou Famous Family? Moyongse also made such preparations. However, both Namgung and Moyong did not want to explode right away even though there was sufficient evidence. “It was to create a world in which they could become the best.”
“You mean that’s wrong?!”
“If you had come forward in time, the people who were suffering could have escaped hell a day sooner. “People who didn’t have to die could have lived.”
“that!”
“I just acted. To destroy them somehow. “I just moved right away, unlike you guys who are sneaky and only think about their own thoughts.”
Namgoongin’s face distorted.
“Sacrifice is…!”
“Even though you’re done, don’t make comments that cross the final line.”
“what?”
“Weren’t you trying to say that the lives of those who suffered were inevitable and that they were an unavoidable sacrifice for the greater good?”
“…!”
“You are disqualified both as the master of a family and as a warrior of the Baekdo faction. “There aren’t many hypocrites like you even in the Black Island.”
“this…!”
“Everyone has dreams. Striving for dreams is the privilege of everyone who has life. But you only blame others. The Moyong family leader, who has continued his evil deeds, is actually a much greater man than you. “Even if his direction was wrong, he was always passionate about his life.”
Namgung-in’s two fists trembled.
I am not comparing this to Yeon Ho-jeong herself, but to the head of the Moyong family. So, a dagger stuck in my heart even more.
“Life is about trying your best and giving up when it doesn’t work out. If the end is death, life is about trying until you die. “You didn’t know how to give up, and you didn’t even try until the end, so you’re throwing a tantrum because things didn’t work out easily.”
“….”
“And I didn’t come to take the anger of an idiot who doesn’t know how to live life.”

Tuk. Tuk.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s index finger tapped the table.
“I came to you to understand the truth of what is happening in the Murim Alliance. My purpose is only that. “If you’re going to talk nonsense, I don’t have any business with you anymore.”
Namgoongin’s breathing became very rough.
I don’t dare say anything. Even if you say something, you will only be harming yourself. Because I can’t refute it.
On the contrary, he has become a person who can only say things that can be refuted.
I’m angry, but there’s no way to resolve it. I have no intention of looking back at myself. I just wish the world would work for me. I want to be the master of the world.
Such thoughts were dominating Namgoongin’s mind. This was the reason why we couldn’t have a conversation about this in the first place.
“Say it. Where is Namgoong Hyun? “Who is that devil?”
“….”
“Even if you roll around in the mud, a gem is still a gem. “If you were so filled with fear that you were on the verge of going crazy, then of course you are not an ordinary person.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes narrowed.
“At least, I think it is the highest level of supply. “If only you consider skills.”
“….”
“Are you one of my high-ranking officials?”
“…tsk tsk.”
Namgoongin suddenly burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Namgung-in without even blinking.
Namgoongin, who had been laughing for a while, spoke with a distorted smile.
“Your imagination is extremely poor. High-ranking people? under! Martial arts have no meaning to the devil. Martial arts is just martial arts. Anyone can become a devil, whether they are third-rate martial arts or third-rate magic. “It’s just difficult to get there.”
Those were strange words.
What Namgung-in meant was that the devil’s martial arts skills were not strong at all.
“So who is that?”
“Didn’t you tell me? I just ‘understood’ it. I can’t talk about him. “I know very well what will happen the moment I speak.”
“What is happening?”
Namgoongin’s eyes became a little more bloodshot.
“…who are you?”
“…?”
“What is it about you that makes even the devil tremble?”
“I can’t communicate.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
Namgoongin smiled coldly.
“It’s as expected. The guy said. You’ll reach me soon. However, he was confident that there was nothing to dig up and said he would get up soon.”
“It looks like he said a lot of things after seeing it once. So, did you predict what I would do next?”
“…He said that your thinking circuit is so unique and unconventional that inference is almost impossible.”
“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult.”
Yeon Ho-jeong walked under the pavilion.
Namgung-in said.
“I just said that because I had researched you so deeply, I could predict some of the unconventional things you would do in a situation like this.”
Yeonhojeong’s steps stopped.
Namgung-in continued.
“He gave me three cases.”
“What?”
“The first thing is to go straight to the leader. “But I said I wouldn’t choose this because it was so boring.”
“….”
“The second is to secretly conduct an investigation from the upper levels of the Meng together with the Sejak unit brought by the Moyong family. “He chose that method when catching Sejak in the past, and because he was confident in himself, he said that seeing him in person and talking to him was the most reliable way to do it.”
It’s pretty spooky.
Yeon Ho-jeong was quite surprised while listening to Namgung-in’s words. It occurred to me that this devil, whose name I did not know, had figured out the principles of his actions quite well.
Suddenly, my interest arose.
“What is the third and final one?”
Namgoongin’s eyes deepened.
“Visiting the Sword Emperor Namgung.”
“…!”
“I said it was the most likely option.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened slightly.
In fact, he tried to visit Monk Namgung.
Geomje Namgung Seung was a cold and strict adult. After leaving all responsibilities to his son, he did not get involved in any of the household affairs, but in this situation, he was a person who could not only directly rule over the family members but also support them.
As for Yeonhojeong, the most unconventional and reliable trick was Namgungseung.
However, when looking at it from the outside, one cannot think of the option of Namgung Seung. Blood is thicker than water This was because it would be assumed that Seung Namgung would reject Yeon Ho-jeong.
The mental exchange between Yeon Ho-jeong and Nam Gung-seung is something only they know. Seeing it through means you have an incredibly sharp eye.
‘uh?’
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong felt a strange feeling.
‘Moyongaju and Sejak Troop?’
Few people know that Moyong Gaju led the Sejak unit. Lord and military If you expand it a little more, it’s about the feudal lords?
Knowing that meant that the information power was also great.
Besides, it’s not something from the past, it’s something recent. Inferring the fact that Sejak’s unit would be in operation and seeing through his actions after the invasion of Yeonhojeong required unimaginable analytical and intelligence capabilities.
How many people like that are among the powerhouses of our time?
‘Surely it’s open?’
People don’t know what to do. No matter how well Ark and Hugae handle their work, anything can happen on this floor unless they control each and every one of their subordinates.
However, Yeonhojeong did not think it was open. It was possible to put it on the candidate list, but I thought the probability was low. This is because if you give a clue like this in the first place, everyone will point to openness.
‘Then why…?’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was replaying each and every conversation with Namgung-in, suddenly realized that he had said something strange.
‘It’s hard to hold on to this spirit if you don’t even drink alcohol. Are you planning to kill my spirit, which is somehow holding on?’
Those words that ask if you are planning to kill your spirit.
In other words, it means that the body is already dead.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked back at Namgung-in.
Namgungin’s bloodshot eyes contained sadness and even joy.
“You cannot go to your father.”
“you…!”
Grumbling.
Blood flowed from Namgung-in’s nose and mouth.
thud!
The vitality quickly disappeared from Namgoongin, who hit his head on the table.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s complexion turned pale.
‘My heart ruptures!’
He used his own internal energy to cut off the vein of life.
It was suicide.
