< Episode 71 Mark (2) >
yesterday,
And early morning.
Prior to the training, General Supervisor Yuk Cheon-ho and Chae Ho-seong separately summoned Nie Chun and Meng Mu-yak, both members of the Cheonjihoe, and secretly informed them of the events of the night before.
[What’s going on?]
[I called because there was an unfortunate accident. Last night, due to an unfortunate accident, Mok Gyeong-un, a cadet belonging to your organization, was attacked and killed while receiving treatment at the clinic.]
[Well, what does that mean?]
Neither Nie Chun nor Meng Muyak could hide their embarrassment at the sudden, lightning-like message.
Who is Mok Gyeong-un?
He was a monster who had overcome walls at an age when he was not even young.
Even so, just as I was wondering why such a monster-like lord was injured and hospitalized in a hospital, I couldn’t understand what this was.
[That can’t be possible. Who dares…]
[Seopchun. Calm your excitement.]
[No medicine, one…]
[Are you going to be rude to your supervisors?]
[······.]
[I apologize. This is unbelievable news since we are colleagues in the same organization.]
Hearing Meng Wuyak’s words like this, Chae Ho-seong of the Six Heavenly Lakes spoke as if he felt sorry.
[The details are being investigated, but the culprit is said to be Beom Jeung, Seochang’s testimony. It seems like he did this out of resentment.]
[Crime…?]
Hearing those words, Meng Wuyue and Nie Chun remembered the eunuch of Xuchang.
I didn’t know the exact name, but I definitely remembered that his last name was Beom.
Does this mean that he did what he did back then?
Nie Chun, unable to control his anger, asked.
[Where is that eunuch?]
[······I understand how you feel, but he is also dead.]
[what??]
According to the words of Chae Ho-seong, the Beom Jeung, the eunuch of Seochang served King Gyeongchin, and not only did he do this out of personal grudge, but he also targeted King Gyeongchin, who reprimanded him.
It is said that he was subdued and died at the hands of Taegam Ho, who could be said to be the head of Seochang.
‘Damn it.’
The two people thought it was so absurd.
I couldn’t easily accept the fact that my monstrous master, not someone else, had died in such a vain manner.
No, it was hard to believe that he was injured and hospitalized in the first place.
So, when they complained that something was strange about it, Yukcheonho So Yerin called them aside and bowed his head and apologized.
that,
[It’s all my fault that things happened like this. This happened because I was unable to properly subdue Cadet Mok Gyeong-un.]
‘!?’
According to her, there was a misunderstanding last night and she had a fight with Mo Kyung-un.
Nie Chun and Meng Wuyue couldn’t help but be surprised at those words.
Lord Mo Gyeong-un is an expert who can overcome walls.
However, if she sends Mok Gyeong-un to the doctor’s office, it means that she is an expert in saving money.
‘The 6,000th issue of the Geumuiwi is at that level?’
But she said something they couldn’t understand.
[······I didn’t get injured because I defeated him.]
[What do you mean by that?]
[Cadet Mok Gyeong-un possesses a great military talent that has never been seen before. For a moment, he reached a realm that he could not reach, and as he tried to force himself to realize that realization, his body could not withstand it.]
What on earth does this mean?
They had a hard time understanding what she was saying.
What does it mean to reach an unreachable realm and not be able to withstand it?
In any case, what is certain is that Mok Gyeong-un was hospitalized in the hospital due to the confrontation with So Ye-rin, and it seems that Seochang’s eunuch named Beom Jeung took revenge.
They could not hide their sense of despair at the incident in which the lord they had chosen lost his life in vain.
However, he could not give up his mission just because his master was dead.
Therefore, they had to overcome this feeling of despair and resume their mission.
* * *
“Work is going well even without me.”
‘Lord, my lord?’
Meng Wuyak’s eyes widened.
This voice was definitely that of Lord Mo Gyeong-un.
‘You mean he’s alive?’
Since he even showed the dismembered body, he really believed that Mok Gyeong-un was dead.
But I couldn’t help but be surprised when I heard his voice like that.
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
Mok Gyeong-un released the acupuncture points he had been holding on to.
When the ahyeol (啞穴) was relieved, Dream Muyak, who was originally a man of few words, suddenly burst into laughter and asked Mok Gyeong-un.
“What happened? The supervisors of the Jinui Committee reported that my lord was murdered in the clinic by an eunuch from Xochang. Even the dismembered body… ah!”
Meng Wuyue stopped talking midway.
Not surprisingly, the dismembered body was unrecognizable.
At the time, I wondered if he had committed such a terrible act out of revenge.

Meng Wuyak continued speaking as if he was shocked.
“Did you pretend to be murdered on purpose?”
“yes.”
“Then what does that face look like now?”
“It’s bast cotton.”
Meng Wuyao frowned and asked as if he didn’t understand those words.
“Did you ask your father-in-law separately?”
This was not the human skin mask they had ordered.
Since it was my first time seeing a bast face, I couldn’t help but have doubts.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and answered that question.
“no. “This face belongs to Seochang’s Taegam.”
“yes? What do you mean by that? “Did you get a separate bast cloth for Seochang’s Taegam face?”
“I didn’t get it separately. “It’s your own face.”
‘!!!!!’
At those words, Meng Wuyak’s expression suddenly hardened.
For a moment he couldn’t believe his ears.
‘Your face?’
What is this sound?
From the way he speaks, it sounds as if the human skin mask is not made according to the face, but is being used by tearing off the skin of the face.
Mok Gyeong-un spoke to him casually.
“That’s exactly what you think. “It would be more efficient and easier to use as a bast face device this way.”
“······.”
Meng Muyak truly had goosebumps all over his body.
I was aware of the fact that my lord’s thoughts were completely different from those of ordinary people, but I never expected that he would take off the skin of a normal person and use it.
I’ve thought about removing human skin and using it as is, but it’s so complicated that most people can’t do it.
But I was truly afraid of being able to put that into practice.
Then Mok Gyeong-un said.
“Anyway, it wasn’t my intention, but thanks to the eunuch named Beomjeung targeting me, I was able to move much more freely.”
“What are you going to do?”
The bast face mask was like a double-edged sword.
If he was Seochang’s Grand Master, wasn’t he someone who assisted King Gyeongchin?
If the person you come in contact with has the faces of many characters, the chances of being caught are very high, no matter how good your acting is.
“Now that we have freedom of movement, we need to collect information and explore various methods.”
“······Then, my lord, you won’t go to the underground gold house?”
“I am coming.”
“But my lord is already officially dead…”
“You can change it to the face of someone who can enter the underground gold prison at the moment of need.”
“······.”
Meng Wuyao kept his mouth shut at Mu Qingyun’s clear answer.
However, I couldn’t help but have one concern.
In the end, using a living person’s human skin mask is only possible if you kill that person.
However, if a series of disappearances or deaths occurred within the imperial palace as a result, the situation could have escalated.
In response, Meng Wuyak carefully expressed his opinion.
“Master… “I’m telling you this just in case, but changing your face is…”
“The moment you go down to the underground gold prison will be your last. “If you change it often, problems will naturally arise, so don’t worry too much.”
Fortunately, it was Mok Gyeong-un who recognized the concerns.
Mu Qingyun took Meng Wuyue’s hand and helped him up and said.
“Nie Chun doesn’t know, so please let Meng Wuyue know about this.”
“All right.”
“Then please continue with your work.”
-Sureuk!
With those words, Mo Kyung-un’s divine form suddenly disappeared as if scattered.
Seeing this, Meng Wuyue stuck out his tongue and muttered.
“That’s right.”
There was no way this monster could have died in vain like that.
* * *
The office of the U.S. Senate Committee.
The Yukseonbu was an investigative department, and its head was Yuk Cheon-ho So Ye-rin.
And the position that assisted the head of the Yukseonbu was the title of Cheonho, and the title of heaven of the Yukseonbu was none other than the masked Geumuiwi Marahyeon.
It was late, but Mara-hyeon was working.
Yook Cheon-ho So Ye-rin is currently busy as she has been selected as the deputy general supervisor of the Geumui Committee selection, so she has to stay up all night often because she has to take responsibility for her current work.
In particular, the day was even longer because I had to stay behind and organize the incident record due to an incident that occurred at the palace of King Gyeongchin with a member of the Geumui Committee.
-Sssssseu!
This was the car that was writing down the record book.
-Thump thump!
Someone knocked on the office door.
Marahyeon stopped writing down the register and looked up.
There was no sign of someone approaching outside the office, but knocking on the door meant that he was someone who could avoid his presence.
‘Is it the Six Thousand Lakes?’
For a moment, I thought it was Six Thousand Lakes, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t.
Since Yukcheonho was the head of this place to begin with, he came in without bothering to knock on the door.
At this, Cheonho Marahyeon stood up with a look of wariness in his eyes.
Then he raised his inner energy and opened his mouth.
“Who?”
-······.
There was no answer.
Marahyun’s eyes, seen through the gap in the mask, became sharper.
There was no sign of presence, but someone knocked on the door.
And there is no answer to the question.
What is your intention?
It was the moment when I slowly got up from my seat and was about to take a nose-dive.
-Jump, jump, jump!
I heard walking coming from the hallway outside the office.
And the sound of footsteps went back and forth around the area a few times and soon approached the front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ office.
‘what?’
There must be someone knocking on the door in front of the office.
However, even though the footsteps of the person who has just appeared have reached the door of the office, no sound of conversation is heard.
-Thump thump!
There was a knock on the door again.
In response, Cheonho Mara-hyeon opened his mouth.
“Who?”
It was a moment when extreme alertness was heightened.
A voice was heard outside.
-Mara Cheonho. He sent me here.
‘!?’
Marahyeon’s eyes narrowed at these words.
Eventually, Marahyeon took a deep breath and spoke.
“Please come in.”
-Kkiik!
Then the door opened and a middle-aged man wearing a blue beer suit with a short beard appeared.
Just by looking at the blue beer uniform, one could tell that he was a member of the Geumwiwi, just like Mara Hyeon, and that his title was the title of Emperor.
The moment she saw him, Marahyeon became irritated inside.
‘I told you not to send anyone to the Yukseonbu.’
I didn’t know that now he would send people without hesitation to the place where the person who was his gift was.
No, I didn’t know that he was doing such a bold thing because he knew that he was absent due to selection for the Gold Council.
Then, the bearded Geumuiwi Cheonho opened his mouth.
“No matter how unpleasant the face is, you can at least say hello, right?”
“I understand that you decided to only see him at the meeting place or at his residence. Isn’t that right?”
“This thing is really sharp.”
“······.”
“Well, I understand that you are worried about what others think, but Mara Cheonho… “I don’t think I’m in a position to question or discuss such things.”
With these words, the bearded Geumuiwi Cheonho pointed his finger toward Marahyeon’s abdomen.
What this means is simple.
It was loneliness.
-closely!
Although it was covered with a mask, Marahyeon was clenching her teeth.
If I hadn’t developed a weakness due to my addiction to solitude, I wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation.
Marahyeon said, barely able to control her anger.
“…Close the door.”
“Hehehe. okay. Please maintain that obedient attitude. Even if there are complaints, the one who is disappointed has to behave well. Mara······.”
That was before the words were even finished.
-puck!
“100 million!”
-thud!
The bearded Cheonho’s eyes rolled back and he fell forward.
Behind him, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a red official uniform stood smiling.
Mara-hyeon could not hide his embarrassment when he saw the eunuch suddenly appear.
“Ho public?”
The eunuch was none other than Ho Gong, the prefect of Seochang.
Why did he, a Taegam who could be said to be the head of Seochang, suddenly appear in the Geumwiwi Yukseonbu?
Besides, what is this all of a sudden?
It was a puzzling moment.
“I thought about waiting for a while, but there was no need to wait. “Marahyeon Cheonho.”
‘!?’
Mara-hyeon’s eyes trembled at the unique voice and tone that came from Ho Gong-gong’s mouth.
‘What is this voice?’
