Login Murim Episode 903
If there is a riddle that cannot be answered no matter how much you think about it, there is only one way to solve it.
Turning everything upside down.
The final solution is to forget all the circumstances and clues that we have figured out so far and start from the beginning.
Just like going back the way I came to find valuables that I didn’t know when, I also looked back on every little and big thing from the starting point.
And finally, I was able to arrive at a hypothesis.
“The emperor does not want King Sangsan to fall into crisis.”
A faint ripple in the gray eyes of the sky.
It appeared and disappeared in a moment so short that it could be called an instant, but it could not avoid my attention, which was keenly focused on his every little movement.
‘It was true.’
A tingling electric current runs down my spine as the realization hits my head.
Amidst the huge cheers of the people that had not yet subsided, Chang Gong, who had been staring at me blankly, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Since when?”
A question without context that I would not have understood if it had been anyone else.
But I immediately realized what those words meant.
The question is, when on earth did they start doubting themselves?
“Sogyo.”
Yes, it was exactly from that time.
The day they let me go from a favorable situation where I couldn’t possibly fail.
Even with all the circumstances and clues, Sogyo’s strange behavior could not be fully understood.
Like a fish thorn stuck in the neck.
“Sogyora…”
Changgong nodded slightly at my brief answer.
“Yes, I guess so. Because it was the only loophole in this plan. If I had known this would happen, I should have gotten rid of that unknown woman a long time ago. Even if it means engaging in an all-out war with the emperor.”
what?
I tried hard to swallow the voice that was reflexively trying to escape, but I couldn’t hide the momentary agitation.
‘Even Changgong doesn’t know the identity of Xiaoqiao?’
At that moment, Chang Gong read the embarrassment that appeared on his face without realizing it and let out a low laugh.
“It looks like you don’t know either.
Who is that woman? Even whether it is friend or foe.”
“······!”
“That’s strange. It’s truly strange. Until a little while ago, I suspected that he was a member of the Murim Alliance… but now I have no idea. Even if it were a coriander grown in secret by the imperial family, it would not have been able to avoid Nobu’s attention.”
This time, regardless of the situation I was in, I had no choice but to sympathize with Chang Gong’s questions.
‘Then Sogyo, who is that woman?’
If he was a member of the Murim Alliance, he would have told me the whole truth before this situation came about, and if he was an expert from Amcheon or the imperial family, there is no way that Changgong would not know. But Sogyo was different.
According to what has been confirmed so far, she was a third person.
Not belonging anywhere. ‘why.’
Who is Sogyo? What kind of expression and what kind of thoughts are they looking at us with right now?
and······.
‘Is it the enemy? Are they allies?’
I tried hard to suppress the urge to turn my head towards Sogyo, who was standing on the tall stairs in the distance.
The distance between the sky and me is only a few steps. In this situation, looking away even for a moment is tantamount to suicide.
Of course, the reason I was showing off my guts like this was because I was confident that Changgong wouldn’t be able to kill me right away.
“You have nice eyes. Speculation is overflowing. But why is he showing interest in you?”
It was probably not a simple illusion that I felt unconcealable fear and reverence in Chang Gong’s voice referring to someone who was not here.
Because it was the same for Hyeolju, Seocheonma Island, and Namcheonma Hu.
Those dark heavens were a group that existed because of the sky called Cheonju.
“Tell me about it. If you are the person involved, you might know why he is looking for you so much. Because he showed unprecedented achievements at such a young age? Or is it because of some other quality that only he can recognize?”
Gray eyes, like those of a dead person, glowed dimly.
With a secret yet terrifying chill that I have never felt before. Wow.
I dare say that even the Great Snow Demon’s Yin Hanji M, who cornered me in Nanman, was not like this.
‘No, it’s different from the eumhanjigi.’ Something more primal and pure. Never heard of it, never experienced it
Another force.
But I overcame my instinctive fear. I answered, enduring the chill that seeped into my bones.
“Why are you asking me that? Damn it. “You bastard with no balls.”
“······!”
Changgong, who was looking at me with wide-open eyes, smiled faintly.
“Yeah, of course I don’t know. How could someone like you dare to understand His will?”
“huh. “No matter how hard I try, I can’t find your balls.”
“You’d better choose your words carefully. No matter how much the old man received the same grace from him…”
“huh. “I can’t find your testicles even if I search the rivers and oceans.”
“I chose my words carefully, is there any problem?”
The faint smile from before has long since disappeared.
Amid the cheers of the people who had not yet stopped, the pale lips of the firmament, which had been tightly closed, opened.
“How about it? Don’t you think he would fully understand if it were just a matter of pulling out your tongue?”
“that’s right. If it were Heaven, that might be possible. “He already has no balls, so even among his subordinates, the thing that bothers me the most is his sore balls… or rather, his sore fingers.”
I nodded in agreement and continued.
Pointing over the sky’s shoulder.

“But that guy won’t understand.”
That moment.
In slow time, everything happened at the same time.
Chang Gong inadvertently turns his head towards his back. I extend a fist filled with flames toward the sky.
And, as if I was alone going back in time, a solid palm shot out at the speed of a flash of light and intercepted my main prey before it could even reach his body.
Wow!
A roar that feels like the sky is splitting, turns back time when it slowed down. At the same time, a powerful aftereffect shook the grand banquet hall.
Too much, too much!
The ground shakes as if there was an earthquake.
Screams and shouts erupt from all directions.
In that space that suddenly fell into extreme confusion, there was a pair of pure white eyes staring at me.
“At most, was it like this?” Uduk.
Contrary to the calm voice, a huge force tightens my fist.
An unidentifiable ice-like energy suppressed and extinguished the flame within.
“It’s disappointing that you’re acting such a shallow tactic.”
Wow. Crash.
Terrible pain comes from the captured fist.
If it weren’t for the bones and bones that were beyond the human realm, the situation would have been crushed to dust a long time ago.
However, I had already experienced this much pain to the point where I was sick of it, and it never occurred to me from the beginning that I could defeat this guy with a surprise attack like this.
We just needed a signal to announce this situation.
“I would be a little disappointed if you thought it was just a shallow ploy.”
“what?”
“I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of magic, but I’m going to show it to you right now, so please take a look.”
“What is that…
The moment when Changgong frowned. Wow!
With dazzling flames that engulfed even the darkness, the rock walls surrounding the banquet hall exploded like tall castle walls.
And then, to the place where Changgong’s gaze had been directed for just a moment ago, a figure walked out with great strides.
“Nobu, this is my first and last advice.”
No matter how you look at it, Taengjung, who was far removed from Buddhism, swept the crowd with his fiery eyes and spoke.
“Only those who want their bones and flesh to melt should come forward.”
“······I”
Changgong’s eyes sank deeply as he realized the identity of the uninvited guest, and I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Accio, Fire King.”
And at the same time, he stretched out his still free hand.
Towards the chest of the guy who stopped for a moment.
The flame extension that reached its composition.
Wow!
* * *
“uh?”
The young man suddenly stopped walking and turned his head.
Seeing him staring at the path he came from with narrowed eyebrows, the giant who was walking one step ahead asked.
“Hyeokmu. “Why but?”
“No, just······
Hyuk Mu-jin, who was speechless, had lost his appetite.
“I just thought I heard something.
Hearing that, Taesan raised his eyebrows.
“Sound? Then is it an enemy?”
“I don’t know. “Was I just mistaken?”
“Then no. The sound that Hyukmu heard. “Taesan didn’t hear it.”
“But I definitely felt like I heard something.”
“Hyeokmu. Martial arts are low. “If Taesan wants to, he can make it with well-chopped five-spice pork.”
“······No, but this bastard is real. Are you ignoring me now?”
“Uhm. “Honestly, a little.”
“······.”
“Hyeokmu. We must not stop. I have to go now. “Everyone is waiting.”
Hyuk Moo-jin calmed his trembling heart for a moment and sighed deeply.
“Okay, let’s go. go.”
However, contrary to the answer, the steps were not as light as before.
The road he had already passed, and even at this moment, the walls of the imperial capital, which were gradually moving away, kept flashing before his eyes.
‘shit. Now, do you even hear auditory hallucinations?
Although I was a little moved, there was a high possibility that Taesan’s answer that there was no sound was true.
If it’s not him who is a top expert, then it’s not right.
Even if I really heard something, it was probably just the slight noise of an insect or animal moving.
‘But why are you doing this?’
Hyuk Mu-jin narrowed his eyebrows further and pounded his chest.
My heart kept pounding, even though it wasn’t like that before. As if an invisible hand was squeezing with all its might.
‘I feel strange.’
Simultaneously with an inexplicable feeling of anxiety, the face of a person I had parted ways with a few hours ago suddenly flashed before my eyes.
‘Let’s just do one mission.’
The last voice I heard before leaving lingered in my ears.
‘Ah, just one more thing.’
‘Take care of yourself. You and everyone else •
Jin Tae-kyung, the fire god dragon.
Hyuk Mu-jin responded to his request with a grin, and with all of Hwaryong Pavilion, he left the Imperial Capital and headed toward the border between Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.
To the exact place written on the paper Jin Tae-kyung handed me.
‘I’m carrying out my mission well… but I don’t know why I’m doing this.’
Unlike the mission that goes smoothly, my heart feels extremely tight.
The sight of Blind Cho and Jin Tae-kyung, who were strangely different from usual, stung like a thorn in my neck.
The way he laughed and laughed at insignificant stories, hit him for being arrogant, and cursed mercilessly was nowhere to be seen, at least not today.
“Hyeokmu!”
“······ah.”
Hyuk Mu-jin, free from his thoughts, realized that he had stopped walking again. And the moment he saw his companions waiting for him not far away, he felt his heart sink.
Deep sunken eyes.
Confused expression.
Except for one person, Taesan, everyone was looking at them with the same face.
“everyone······,”
Hyuk Mu-jin barely managed to swallow a moan. I felt like I could finally understand the identity of this unknown anxiety that had been constricting my heart for a while.
“Did everyone know?”
To the question that came out between his tightly packed lips, Namho answered with a heavy voice.
“okay. “To some extent.” ‘By the captain’s orders?’
“No, the enemy ship commander announced it in advance. “You knew what choice your student would make.”
“Then why only to me-”
“If I had told you to leave because you were a burden, would you have obeyed the order?”
“······!”
“I don’t like this situation either. No, it’s the same for everyone.” Hyuk Mujin was at a loss for words for a moment. Because I was able to fully understand the feelings of Jin Tae-kyung, who sent him to them, even lying to them, that they were only a burden instead of a help.
And because it was reality. But, but…
‘But it’s not like this.’
Hyuk Mujin bit his lip until blood came out and turned his head. And for a moment, forgetting about the whole situation, he muttered in a mesmerized voice.
“uh······?”
At the end of the line of sight, there were numerous figures moving in the darkness, shaking the forest in the distance.
There are so many shapes that you can’t even count them, yet you don’t even feel like they are human.
‘What is that?’
A question that came to everyone’s mind. And the fear of the unknown.
This time, instinct, not reason, made Hyuk Moo-jin, no, all of them, move.
Papapot!
