Login Murim Chapter 899
Maybe it was because everything around me was sparkling with golden light, but for a moment I felt like I was the best person in the world.
Sadly, there was a huge disconnect from reality.
Clap, clap.
I probably would have been able to become a little more immersed if it weren’t for that bloody metal sound.
However, I could not find such consideration in the members of the Geumui Committee who walked around Hongjin and me.
‘Actually, it takes a crazy person to want consideration.’
I feel a warm gaze from next to me along with a smile that escapes me without my knowledge. Hong Jin was staring at me with a puzzled look in his eyes.
“why?”
“······I’m just asking this just in case, but it’s not like you don’t know why you’re looking at me, right?”
“hmm. Why do you suddenly laugh in this situation?”
“I’m glad. “I thought Confucius Jin was completely out of his mind.”
“Don’t worry. “Because I’m holding on tight to my spirit.”
In a situation like this, you can’t just laugh like a crazy person.
When you’re pushed to the edge of a cliff, your mind actually becomes calmer.
Everything in my mind is erased, and only the word survival remains.
Just like me right now.
“I will believe that. “Because I have no choice but to believe it.”
Heungjin, who was muttering to himself, slowly sucked in the gombangdae that had not yet been extinguished.
Whoosh, white smoke erupted along with red-burning embers and scatters between the gold medals.
Inside the imperial palace, such a proud figure in the face of a crisis that could soon lead to the loss of one’s head.
Just when I was secretly admiring Hong Jin’s guts, I suddenly saw his inner eyes trembling and his face becoming drowsy.
Even the unique scent of smoke that touches your senses.
‘If you think about it, whenever you go near Hongjin, you always smell that smell.’
I thought it would be like that normally.
I’m not an anti-smoking publicity ambassador, so even if Hongjin was biting on a stick, I wouldn’t have found it strange or had any reason to dissuade him.
I simply thought, since I don’t have the things a man should have, I just fill up on nicotine.
But even during that time, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
The identity of that déjà vu was somehow familiar, and I was able to recall the memories of that day without difficulty.
‘Yes, right after returning from an audience with the emperor. It was that day.’
At the same time, a thought flashes through my mind.
I looked away from Hongjin, who was slowly exhaling smoke, and suddenly opened my mouth.
“I guess it tastes better than I thought. “When I just smelled it, it didn’t seem right.”
“What is that? Ah, this?”
When I nodded quietly, Hong Jin lightly shook the bear bag in his hand.
“Even the taste. It’s just…a kind of habit. “It’s also of very poor quality.”
Of course, it is true that smoking is bad for your health.
At least by modern standards.
‘But in this era, it wouldn’t have been a particularly ostracized act.’
Although this is a world that has not been recorded anywhere in history until the 21st century, it is quite similar in many ways.
Place names of each region, clothing and food, and finally, even people’s perceptions.
And in that sense, smoking was not something that could be said to be particularly bad.
No, on the contrary, hop smoking was even encouraged at the insistence of high-ranking people who enjoyed all kinds of pleasures.
Tobacco leaves were expensive, so it was a luxury for most people.
‘But Hong Jin, that very high man, says something like that?’
The feeling comes right away.
There is something. Something I haven’t figured out yet.
I held out my hand toward Hongjin. “Can I try smoking it?” “huh? You want to smoke it? “This?”
“yes. “I just want to experience it at least once.”
In that brief moment of eye contact at the same time as the answer, Hongjin’s eyebrows rose slightly enough for no one to notice.
And that was also a sign that the intention was accurately understood.
“It’s strange. “The warriors I know drink a lot, but they don’t like cherry blossoms.”
“If it is a cherry tree…
“The essence of the poppy was collected and dried. Sometimes, if you smoke it when your mind is complicated, it calms your mind and makes you feel somewhat drowsy. It is usually used to relieve pain, but it is highly addictive…
Hong Jin’s words feel distant, like an echo.
There was already one word floating around in my head.
‘opium!’
Even though I thought of school classes as just a way to supplement my sleep, I was still instilled with at least a little bit of common sense.
In particular, the passionate world history teacher’s gravelly voice had the power to make me run away from all my sleep.
‘mind! Jin Tae-kyung!’
‘Sigh. to?’
‘You man. What did the teacher say just now? Don’t roll your eyes, just say it.’
‘uh. So that’s…
‘yes. I don’t know. You have no choice but to not know. My wife and I have been sleeping in the back all through third period. What is this? Is it a hotel or a school?
‘Oh, I remembered.’
‘what? Do you remember? Okay, let’s ask what kind of creative bullshit I heard in my dream. What?’
‘Ma Jin Tae-kyung.’
‘no?’

‘No, that’s right. That’s true, but “““ Ha. Man, this is really Dora. Opium War! I was talking about the opium war, and wow, this is going to come back. Follow me. ‘Opium war!’
‘yes? ‘Acheong war?’
‘Acheong… Hey, class president. Kim Min-jeong.’ ‘yes?’
‘Call the police right now. ‘I’m just going to get arrested today as an instigator of violence.’
Fortunately, there was no incident that led to the police being dispatched, and I was punished by forgetting to write a paragraph about the Opium War right after hearing the angry shouting.
And as a result, various trivial information, including the fact that white-skinned Chinese from an island country invaded the Chinese from a remote continent, were able to be inserted into the stone head.
For example, the raw material for opium is a plant called poppy.
‘This helps in times like this.’
I expressed my deepest gratitude to my world history teacher, who was more passionate than anyone else at that time.
Thanks to you, I was able to find out one more new piece of information.
‘opium. No, I’ve already smelled that unique scent inside the cherry tree. Even thicker than Hong Jin’s.’
Just a few days ago.
I definitely felt a sense of déjà vu, and only now did I realize the true nature of that sense of déjà vu that I had overlooked.
– Listen quietly. Don’t react in any way.
I kissed Hongjin, who continued to walk silently as if nothing had happened, and let out a whole sound.
– If the emperor wears cherry blossoms, what do you think it would be for?
that day. That time. That moment.
The first source of the déjà vu I felt was the existence of the Man-in-ji-sang (萬人之上) that I encountered at Geoncheong Palace.
her.
With a sharp exhalation, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
The first thing that filled his vision was the light of a sunbeam flickering through the darkness and a long line of colorful thin silk.
‘This place······
It’s a place you can’t miss. Because it was his sleeping quarters and fortress where he spent most of the past ten years.
The man, who had been catching his breath in cold sweat for a while, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Does anyone have any?”
The moment when a dry voice rang out.
Sreuk.
A wind blew from somewhere and shook the silk. A sound penetrated through the gap and reached the man’s ears.
– Please order.
The man wiped his face in silence for a while.
Traces of fatigue can be felt between deep wrinkles that do not match age.
Even though some time had passed since I woke up, my heart was still pounding violently.
“It looks like the sun has already set.”
It’s almost alcohol time (成時).
“Speaking of drinking, what about a grand banquet?”
The previously announced meeting has long passed, and all Moon and White House officials have gathered.
“Then what about him?”
He.
It was an insufficient term to refer to just one person among the many people gathered for the grand banquet, but the shadow in the darkness answered without hesitation.
yes.
“······Surprisingly. No matter how strong they are
“Even though these people are reckless, this is ridiculously reckless.”
The emperor, who was grumpy as if he was talking to himself, continued.
“But it’s also something that someone had already predicted. In that case, his teacher must have remained.”
He too was present. Haonde…
“Go ahead.”
Except for two, the other warriors left the palace.
“leave?”
– That’s right. To figure out what
It seemed to move with purpose, but I couldn’t track it any further.
“You couldn’t track it?”
The man narrowed his brows, but he had no choice but to close his mouth at the shadow’s next word.
– yes. ‘She’ stepped forward and stopped him.
– If you command me, right now. “No, no.”
The man shook his head and slowly stood up.
In a space too vast to be considered a sleeping quarters for just one person, he stood in front of a large mirror wearing a robe engraved with golden thread.
Sreuk. Tuk.
Soft silk brushes against one’s skin and rolls across the floor.
Ordinary people would have trembled from the sudden chill, but the man who stood tall alone was as strong as an iron tower.
Like the time when he led a large army and swept away the rebels.
Just like that day ten years ago.
However, contrary to his still-still spirit, his past self could not be easily seen in the mirror that reflected him.
‘You’re old. So much so that you don’t recognize it.’
The man pondered in his heart, but there was no feeling of regret within him.
The path I have walked so far was something that someone had to do.
It’s just that he was chosen.
All he had to do was wear a dragon robe so dazzling that no one dared to look up, and he was allowed to write the two characters ‘Heavenly Emperor’ (天gu).
There were no regrets.
There is only one step left, and there is only one way left to go.
“Now, I have to leave Geoncheong Palace.”
With that one word, the darkness mixed with shadows stirred, and Geoncheonggung Palace, which had been quiet and dead, woke up.
No, they were prepared from the beginning.
The man, ready to die and kill according to the emperor’s orders.
And there was a woman looking at the cloudy sky from the roof of Geoncheong Palace, which pulsated like an active volcano.
“Is it going to rain today?”
Sogyo touched the baby bottles hanging on both sides.
When I got it back after a long time, it was as cold as ice, and the energy contained within it was boiling hot like fire.
The grand banquet hall was incredibly spacious and incomprehensibly quiet.
Even though numerous great and small ministers gathered in one place, no one spoke.
At least at this moment, they were all blind, blind, and mute.
Those who already knew the whole situation quietly reflected on their lives so far, while those who did not know could not move in front of this suffocating energy that had invaded the grand banquet hall.
Who will open their mouth first?
Who will draw the sword first…? That time when everyone had the same thought.
“Here he comes.”
There was a voice that broke the silence. “Five hours late. “Is this right?”
The end of Jin Tae-kyung’s gaze was piercing the darkness spreading behind the flickering light of the sun.
To be exact, a huge golden procession approaching like a dragon from beyond.
