Episode 494
A storm rages (5)
“Things are going badly.”
“….”
“Do you know where ‘he’ is?”
“I do not know.”
“As expected. The fact that he didn’t show up even though the situation got to this point means two things. “Either you’re protecting yourself, or you’ve abandoned the two of us.”
“….”
“No matter what, we shouldn’t be distracted. Yeon Hao-jeong and Zhuge Mun-ho are already strangling us. “That Yeon Ho-jeong guy in particular seemed suspicious of me.”
“….”
“I need you to help me.”
“What kind of help do you want?”
“How can I help? Why would I take the risk of coming to see you? “What is your best strength?”
“….”
“You have to earn time first. “Please do something to disturb me.”
“Who is the target?”
“Decode.”
“….”
“Is it possible?”
“There is nothing that is impossible for anyone. “Let’s put the problem behind us.”
“You see the situation well.”
“The faster we avert suspicion, the faster they will get to the truth. “We will be able to figure out that it was something we planned within five or three days at the most.”
“Three days… I’m glad it lasts three days.”
“….”
“If Yeonhojeong’s suspicions about me are strong, he will keep an eye on me while investigating Bokho. In other words, there is no benefit other than to divert attention.”
“Then why are you asking me for help?”
“Because I plan to kill you. “Yeon Hao-jeong and Zhuge Mun-ho.”
“….”
“Tell me when you’re done. “I will kill them both the very next day.”
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“Wonder how I’m going to kill them?”
“That’s right. “Yan Haozheng and Zhuge Wenhu are not easy guys.”
“Put your worries aside. “I guess you’ve prepared everything for times like this.”
“Are you really planning to use ‘that’?”
“….”
“It is not for killing enemies. In the worst case, to destroy evidence…”
“Do you want to die?”
“….”
“Do you want to die that much?”
“….”
“You may be like that, but I’m not. But does that mean loyalty to our school has disappeared? That’s not it either. I want to survive until the end and help our school in some way. That’s why it’s like this.”
“…If you fail, what will you do then?”
“If you try and it doesn’t work out, then there’s nothing you can do.”
“….”
“Isn’t it all like that? We are the same as the martial people who call this land Jungwon and live intoxicated with pride. “If you fail in the gamble of your life, the end result is death.”
“….”
“Would you like to get one more chance? Or would you run away with me right now? But will I be able to survive if I run away?”
“…this is dinner tonight.”
“…!”
“We’ll start work this evening. “It will be before noon tomorrow when something happens.”
“Thank you.”
“Okay then.”
That’s how the contact disappeared.
The windbreaker’s eyes grew cold.
“Noon tomorrow is too long. “If you’re going to get any work done, it’s best to finish it before dawn.”
* * *
Phew.
The candle flame swayed in the wind that seeped in from the window.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, sitting alone in a room on a dark night drinking tea, were reminiscent of those of a ghost.
“Is summer coming to an end?”
Perhaps because it is in the mountains, the night breeze is quite cold. Even taking that into account, it seemed like summer wasn’t far away.
The cool wind took away the frustration.
As soon as the frustration subsided, my head started spinning again.
This time was absolutely necessary. As I bumped into and talked to many people, there were times when I couldn’t organize my thoughts.
Now was the right time to organize my thoughts.
‘Shall we move?’
Whether it’s Seunghyeon Jinin, Bokhosae, or a windbreaker.
No matter who you are, you will have a lot of thoughts due to conversations with yourself.

‘If you think logically, it is more likely to be a decryption incident than a Seunghyeonjinin incident.’
I thought about this part so much that the moment I thought of the decryption incident, organized lists popped into the back of my head.
‘But just looking at my intuition, I’m suspicious of a windbreaker.’
It is a gap between reason and emotion.
In times like this, Yeon Ho-jeong usually followed his intuition. When I was young, before I gained the reputation of the Emperor of Darkness, this intuition did not work properly, but after experiencing countless mayhem, my sixth sense became amazingly effective.
Survival, exploration, slaughter, search, and betrayal.
The environment in which he lived not as a loser ruling the dark island, but as a shadow warrior skilled in secret fighting, not to be deceived, not to die to deceive, but to kill, sharpened his senses.
However, even though I had such a past and ability, I couldn’t just trust my intuition and proceed with the work.
‘The abilities of the dispatched Sejak are extremely outstanding. But there are gaps.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s ghost eyes flashed fiercely.
‘He won’t have any experience.’
Either the one who was raised by the Three Schools before even entering the sect, or the one who turned around midway.
He has lived his life without being caught even once.
It was proof that his ability was outstanding, but it was also proof that he had never felt this kind of pressure.
A warrior grows only when he experiences actual combat, and a politician grows only when he plays in the political arena.
The same goes for Sejak. You can find the right response in a crisis situation only by experiencing the brutal pressure that is gradually strangling you countless times.
At least Sejak of the Murim Alliance lacked such experience. It was certain.
‘But it’s also ridiculous to hope for mistakes that come from lack of experience. This guy is the best. You have to think like that.’
And one more thing.
‘He will never stay still. ‘They will almost certainly try to kill me, the soldier, or both.’
Persevere until the end and then run away at the critical moment?
This would be the case if it were an ordinary Sejak. But he is here as a member of the Murim Alliance. And that for a long time.
It means that he is used to proactively handling things, and it also means that he is a guy who knows that things won’t be solved just by putting his body on the line.
Sejak has been holding his breath for a long time just to steal information from the Murim Alliance. They will try to maintain their position at all costs.
‘They’ll probably start working on it before they try to kill him.’
Phew.
The candle flame swayed precariously in the blowing wind.
‘He will try to turn his attention to someone.’
What if that person is Seung Hyun-jin?
‘They will ask the public ambassador.’
What if that person is in a decryption situation?
‘I will bite the windbreaker.’
What if that person is a cheater?
‘We will ask about the recovery situation.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s index finger continued to tap on the table.
‘Time is important. He can move right now. ‘They will try to kill me and the soldier right after the preliminary work is finished.’
If Pungbyeokja knew what Yeonhojeong was thinking right now, he would have felt afraid.
Yeon Ho-jeong was reading the thoughts of the poor man almost accurately.
This was the difference in experience. If Pungbyeokja had gone through an eventful experience as a Sejak, he would have acted the same way as he does now and would have tried to attack Yeonhojeong’s player.
And Yeon Ho-jeong, who had that player in mind, had placed super experts and hiding experts around Pagungak and the military department.
‘No matter what happens, I’ve prepared everything I can.’
Now all you have to do is look at the other person’s reaction. Unless something happens by noon tomorrow at the latest, Yeonhojeong’s counteroffensive will begin from then on.
“Whoa.”
After organizing his thoughts, Yeon Ho-jeong drank tea. Although it had already cooled down, the bitter taste gave a refreshing feeling to my already stuffy mouth.
“Anyway…”
In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong did not feel much anxiety during the preparation process to find Sejak.
There was something else that really made him curious and uneasy.
“Where is the manager?”
Yeon Ho-jeong touched her lips without realizing it.
“Could it be that I read it wrong? “There is no way the administrator would not be involved in this process.”
The strategy established by reading Sejak’s movements also included the presence of a manager.
Obviously, even if there was a manager, he would try to kill himself or the military. The problem is that I have no idea who the manager is.
“It is safe to say that it is highly unlikely that he is the head of the nine or six families. In that case, it is highly likely that Sejak is someone you meet often or ‘someone’ you meet regularly, even if not often.”
And that possibility includes contacts.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Who really is…”
That was then.
“Master.”
Tang Sang-ah’s voice was heard outside the window.
“I got a call from my father. “They said it was moving.”
“where?”
“I’m a worker from the Murim League’s Naeseong Sound Group.”
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
Sound troupe. drink incense
It was a place in charge of distributing tea leaves and alcoholic beverages to stations located throughout the Murimmaeng inner city. There were many people who secretly trained in martial arts because they inspected poisoned alcohol and tea leaves in the process of receiving and distributing goods from a subcontractor beyond the outer wall.
That wasn’t the important thing.
‘Decryption incident.’
Coincidentally, Seung Hyun-jin, Bokho Sae, and Pungbyeokja each had people from other organizations that they met on a regular basis.
Seunghyeonjinin, Cheolbang, who distributed weapons, was a sound troupe, and Pungbyeokja was a clothing troupe.
In the case of Bokhosae, it is said that he has been very knowledgeable about tea since he was young and is very picky when it comes to choosing tea leaves. In other words, it was not unusual for Bokhosae to become friends with members of the sound troupe and receive tea leaves separately.
But what if she is Sejak?
Or what if the real Sejak wants to cast doubt on her?
“Tell this to the head of the Moyong family! Stick to the decryption situation! “Dang family head to the military department!”
“The old military department?!”
“I do not have time. hurry!”
“yes!”
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly stood up.
If the situation is serious, it is better to have an active and scheming head of the family.
The same goes for Pungbyeokja. So you have to go yourself.
The reason the party official was sent to the military department was because it was predicted that Sejak’s attacks would focus on poison or gunpowder. It is one of the most heavily guarded military departments in the Murim League. There’s no way I’m wasting time with something like a quiet assassination.
And he sent his father Yeonwi to Seunghyeonjinin. If it is Seunghyeonjinin, it would be best to deal with Yeonwi, the incarnation of Yeonga martial arts.
Wow!
Yeon Ho-jeong immediately jumped out of the window and headed straight to the living quarters of the cheater.
How long did it run like that?
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
Paang!
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped practicing magic and looked to the right with sharp eyes.
It was truly an exquisite place. It wasn’t a forest, but the long alleyway was extremely dark.
And there.
There was a windbreaker.
“If you’re not too busy, would you mind talking to me?”
That time.
The manager, suspicious of Yeon Ho-jeong’s existence, was looking out the window.
‘It’s moving.’
I could tell without looking. This is because the energy of the ‘mask’ located in the Danjeon of the Pungbyeokja was red-hot.
‘It’s so much faster than I thought. This isn’t something the windbreaker is in a hurry to do. It seems that Zhuge Liangho properly shook the Pungbyeokja in his mouth.’
Even he in the world did not know that the protagonist of this incident was Yeon Ho-jeong. I just thought of it as Zhuge Li’s shield like a windbreaker.
‘Is this where it ends?’
Can not help it.
Although it is a small piece that has been carefully cared for over a long period of time, we must be bold when discarding it. In any case, much of the top-secret information handled by the Murim Alliance has already been stolen. The higher-ups also seemed quite satisfied.
Although this is a bit disappointing, it is not bad.
‘I guess I should get ready soon too.’
At that time, Yonghwajin spoke.
“Damn it! If I get out of here, Yeonhojeong, I will chew on that b*stard’s flesh!”
Deungcheongyo responded with a distorted face but with indifferent eyes.
“I won’t just leave this guy who raised his son like that!”
