Episode 110: Cheongho’s message
“Since you’re the leader, you kind of figured it out, right? “If you come back near this house, the one that entered your body will grow and grow.”
“You piece of shit! “Better kill me!”
“Why are you killing me?”
It’s best not to kill these crazy guys if possible.
It’s not that you can’t do something like Heoju, kill everything, take what you need, and use the rest as experiment material, but if you do that, it will stick and stick and stick again.
Because these fanatics have eschatological and self-destructive doctrines, they are always on the lookout for a place where they can achieve martyrdom.
Perhaps this place is also known as a great martyr restaurant, so I came here like this.
I opened the window and let my family out of the house.
Since it doesn’t have a long lifespan, it will probably create ugly rumors around here for a while.
“For your information, this doesn’t just end when you die. It will assimilate and grow based on your flesh, so you will become a conscious part of the monster. According to your doctrine, then you probably won’t be able to go to heaven or Valhalla?”
To be precise, there is a doctrine of going to a different dimension that is formed somewhere in Fomalhaut and becoming part of an eternal beacon.
“Hmm… … Hey, monster! devil!!”
“Why is the devil doing this so that we can live together in peace?”
After that, the leader continued to use abusive language and swear words for a long time, but the verbal abuse was only a temporary shame.
I just ignored everything.
“Hey, vice-captain, calm down.”
“eww? Ugh… … ?”
“Wow, I got hit a lot. “Try some of this.”
“Don’t eat it! “You can’t eat it!”
“Ugh? Ugh?”
“Oh, you are eating well.”
“No!!”
We administered similar treatment to the vice-captain and released them.
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
I urged them to pack up the wounded and leave immediately.
After about an hour of loud commotion, a procession of defeated soldiers was formed. It is a very wonderful sight of people carrying each other or supporting each other.
I waved for those who were about to leave on a long journey.
“Go bye and never come back.”
“You horrible bastard! “You will be cursed with fire.”
What is a curse?
Your god has been irritated by me for the past few months, so I will curse him.
Suddenly, I thought of a better way than to be this uncomfortable.
“Ah, wait a minute, leader. “Before I go, let me tell you one thing.”
I walked up to him and whispered some important information.
“Well, is that really true?”
“Well, if you don’t want to believe it, don’t believe it. However, out of friendship and good faith, I will tell you the location in more detail. listen carefully.”
He even created a map using illusion magic and told him some more important information.
“Really, here…” … really?”
“So, there is something similar here and here in Cheorwon.”
“If it’s similar, does that mean there’s the same thing inside it?”
“okay. “Anyway, I’ve done enough, so let’s just not see each other for a while.”
“… … Yeah, good. “But you won’t be able to maintain that arrogant attitude forever.”
“Okay, okay. Do whatever you feel like.”
“Shit, damn it… … . “Let’s go back!”
I tried so hard to save them all, but their attitude was so bad. There’s nothing I can do about it. In the first place, it is impossible to form friendships with cultists.
After all the cult members left, Heo Sang-hyeon returned to his usual anxious expression.
“Mythology. “Is it okay if I release you like that?”
He must have relaxed.
Just a moment ago, he had a stern expression on his face, as if he would start torturing him at any moment… … .
“Oh, it’ll be okay. “I’ll be busy digging for a while.”
“Land?”
“yes. “They told me the location of the lost relic.”
Of course, I’m not talking about my ring.
What I told you is the location of Helistic’s secret laboratory.
In particular, I told you the location where research related to [Living Flame] is being conducted, so I won’t show up here because I’ll be sparring with that for a while.
I called the command golems and ordered them to clean up the yard and surrounding area, and stretched out in satisfaction.
“Ugh, so is it almost over?”
However, it seems that Heo Sang-hyeon’s business is not yet finished. He was waiting for me to clean up after him, doing various things.
“Mythology. “There is one more thing I checked a little while ago.”
“What is it?”
“It appears that some of the people who tried to infiltrate here were not cultists.”
“ah.”
I thought it was somehow strange.
Most cultists are resistant to, or completely immune to, madness and fear. However, there were some who reacted overly dramatically when they saw the command golem.
Those who ran away screaming along the way must have been outsiders.
“I thought he was a hired thug brought in from outside. What do you think? “Have you checked?”

“Well, as you said, they were not people with a clear identity. However, it seems that among them there were people who could be called subcontractors of the Triad.”
“Triad?”
“yes. Some of the prisoners, or rather the wounded, simply referred to members other than their own denomination as the Triad. However, it did not seem like they were officially dispatched in the name of the Triad.”
“Ah, these are the kids that the Triad is putting in when they can’t lend in their own name?”
“Yes, I think it’s something like that.”
Heo Sang-hyun… … You’re much more capable than I thought.
I hired him thinking he was simply a butler to supervise the mansion’s affairs and prepare meals, but he may be more talented in other areas than that.
“By the way, the Triad… … .”
Come to think of it, Jang Hyeon-deok and Park Gwang-rim also talked about Cheongho once. In a scenario where the Triad and the descendants of Fomalhaut, or rather the cultists, become involved… … . Oh my, stupid Cheongho. So you told me to move quickly, right?
It seems that the [Triad Split] scenario began while I was distracted for a moment.
“Then, are you going to hear from the Triad any time soon?”
But my prediction that the Triad would contact me was wrong.
* * *
The contact from the Triad had already arrived.
It’s just that I couldn’t confirm the contact.
“Giggles, a message came in right after I left the road, but you didn’t know about it?”
“The timing wasn’t very good. “I was out of my mind right after I left on the way home.”
There were too many things to worry about.
Nevertheless, it’s a little embarrassing that I was missing out on information that can be checked by just turning on the smartphone and looking at it a little.
Vasilisa was originally scheduled to visit three days later, but received an urgent call from Tudor and had to come back one day later.
And thanks to that, I was able to check Cheongho’s message that I had missed.
When I checked my smartphone, it seemed that Cheongho had tried to contact me several times during the 15 days I stayed at Cheongeumdang.
However, like the telecommunications company in the world I lived in, the telecommunications company in [Cthulhu World] does not have the ability to send radio waves all the way home.
“Hehe, it’s nice to be able to earn pocket money since I’m not used to being a part of civilization.”
“… … “I’ve said this several times, but it’s not because I don’t know how to use a smartphone that I don’t use it.”
It’s not that I ignored his contact because I wanted to ignore it, but it seems that the sassy Kim Shin-hwa seemed to be a bit off-putting to Cheong-ho anyway.
Although it was an unpleasant situation for the Triad boss, he chose to appease me.
“I don’t know how he trained Cheongho, but someone from Cheongho’s side came and gave him a huge bonus.”
“But still, it’s a big deal to spend 200 million won for one message.”
It looks like someone from Cheongho has visited.
After carrying out the last request, he left behind a bundle of money, saying he would belatedly pay the unpaid bonus. I guess it means that you can relax and reply to the message just by seeing this money.
‘I don’t know in what specific direction the misunderstanding occurred. Well, you don’t have to refuse the money they give you.’
In any case, the message delivered despite spending a lot of money was very short.
[The book is ready, so please visit when you have time.]
It’s a message of only about 20 characters, not including spaces. 10 million won per letter. It’s a bit strange to calculate sincerity by the amount of money, but it’s the same anyway.
Tudor, who must have received a fee for delivering that short message, laughed and said.
“Hmm, I guess it wasn’t just money he gave to appease himself? “There is a reason why Cheongho wants to meet him right now.”
“reason?”
“These days, strange guys have been raiding the Triad’s business. As a result, the heads of the Triad are suffering from severe headaches.”
It seems like things are progressing just as I expected.
The situation is so urgent that Cheongho urgently needs to gather all of his connections to solidify his power.
There are not many people who can beat the Triad, which dominates not only Paju but the entire central region’s underworld.
“Two heads with headaches, not three, right?”
Tudor’s eyes widen in surprise at my point.
“what? Did you find out about the situation in Paju yesterday? “Except for very sensitive people, they don’t know.”
“The friends I met for the first time yesterday told me various things.”
There is that, and I know roughly how the scenario of the division of the Triad proceeds.
We can also guess what is happening to Cheongho now.
A situation where two heads hurt instead of three.
Of course, the person who can hit the Triad the hardest in Paju is, of course, the Triad themselves.
“Hmm, is it really that great? “Right now, three heads are being beaten side by side, but one head has suffered surprisingly little damage.”
“Which one? “Based on the atmosphere, I think it’s the Red Head, not the Black King.”
Tudor whistled, extended his finger at me and pretended to shoot a gun, and continued.
“that’s right. “There is a rumor going around among those in the know that Jeokdu is beating up other heads under someone else’s name.”
As expected, Jeokdu betrayed me.
One of the three heads of the Triad.
The Triad is an alliance of three organizations led by the Red Head, the Blue Tiger, and the Black King, respectively. Among them, the only one with enough brains to join hands with a cultist is Jeokdu.
“The fact that you’re spending money like this and calling me in while the construction work is so busy… … .”
“Can you get a feel for it? “I think Cheong-ho wants to get him on one side, right?”
“So there have been strange rumors going around? “I thought it was spread by Vasilisa, so I stayed quiet.”
“huh? Oh, that’s right I spread it.”
“… … .”
“Kikiki, of course I didn’t do it alone. Cheongho took it in the middle and inflated it, and I inflated it again. “He’s saying this out of fear that he might misunderstand, but it’s not like there was a prior plan.”
“Why did you do that?”
“That’s because the name spreads in some form. Thanks to this, it had the effect of narrowing Cheongho’s thinking. “I guess he thinks he has to be taken away no matter how much it costs?”
It’s an evil plan.
In the end, Cheong-ho believes that this plan came entirely from his head and will do as Tudor wants.
“I am-.”
Even if Cheongho were to give away all his assets, he would not be tempted to come under his command. If I thought I was going to become a member of the triad now, I would have taken refuge in the Cheongeumdang a long time ago.
“-I’m sorry, but I’m not really interested.”
“doesn’t care. You can always move in the direction you want. “When have I ever forced you to do something?”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“So what are you going to do with the message? “This money came as a bonus from the last request, so it’s okay to ignore it, but aren’t you going to go get the book?”
If you go to see Cheongho Chlechle just because he gives you a book, you will find yourself in a situation from which it will be difficult to get out.
“no. “You have to take what is given to you.”
There are many choices I can make other than going under Cheongho.
and.
Anyway, I will move as I please.
