Episode 27. Heo Gong-rok (6)
Daeungjeon entrance.
Kurrrrrr-.
It was extremely subtle, but Zigong sensed the shaking of the forbidden side.
The vibration that announces the beginning of the great world. However, in this Moorim League, only he could know.
Chii-i-.
The raindrops falling on his cleanly shaved bald head evaporated and disappeared as soon as they touched. It was because he was radiating an excited passion without even realizing it.
“Eat it, Ambassador.”
It was Daewoongjeon, which was tightly defended by Yeongbidan, but it was nothing but a road that was open only to Zigong.
As soon as he entered the entrance, he headed straight to the Lord’s Office, the place where the Lord is receiving a pension, not a pension.
“Never let anyone in without Nonap’s permission.”
The deputy head of the Young Silk, who was guarding the entrance, bowed his head. However, he didn’t back down right away and asked cautiously.
“What shall we do with the memorial service?”
“Danju Do notified the entire army that he had already arbitrarily changed the location to Sungmudang. Please hurry up with preparations so that it can be implemented immediately after Nonap leaves Daeungjeon.”
“Yes, Ambassador. I will follow your orders.”
When he left, Zigong finally opened the door to his office.
inside the home office.
The Jegal Chong, with bracelets on both wrists to prevent internal force, was standing by the window with its back turned.
“Welcome, Ambassador.”
“Heh heh, it seems that the lord still has eyes on his back.”
“I just guessed that it was time for the ambassador to come.”
No matter how much suffering he suffered during the hearing, his clear face was pale and his eyes were sunken.
He said, giving his gaze to the outside, at least with such eyes.
“By any chance, did you not hear something when you just came in?”
Suddenly, Zigong, who had entered the office, stopped on the spot. As if I heard something I couldn’t hear.
“What are you talking about? Can you name the sound of thunder?”
Zhuge Chong slowly turned his head towards Zigong. His gaze, still sharp, met Zigong’s nonchalant eyes.
“Ever since I was little, I have been quite sensitive.”
“Isn’t that what all the Murim Meng know about?”
“So, I tend to distinguish easily whether the sound is from the sky or from the ground.”
Concentration shimmered in Zhuge Chong’s dry, emaciated pupils.
“Just now, there was no doubt that it was a vibration from the ground. That too-.”
The head of the Jegal Chong turns toward the window again. His gaze was clearly fixed on a certain place.
The only place where the fog doesn’t clear even in this rain.
It has been like that until now, and the place where it should be in the future.
“Hey, it was the shaking from the basement of the absolute forbidden region.”
Kee-ik, thump.
Zigong closed the door. Even that was not enough, he set up an invisible film of internal strength, sealing even the smallest seams and gaps.
Now this is a completely disconnected space.
However, it became a place only for the two of them.
“Namu Amitabha Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.”
Zigong quietly muttered his dislikes and looked in the same direction as Zhuge Chong.
I couldn’t see Jegalchong lying on his back, but I couldn’t find a benevolent smile on Zigong’s face anymore.
Absolute indifference, without a single ray of mercy, itself.
“The lord.”
Even in his voice, that ruthlessness was evident.
Jegalchong slowly turned his head. And as soon as I saw Zigong’s expression, I knew something was seriously wrong.
At least in the meantime, Zigong was wearing a mask.
In particular, he has been hiding his true identity more and more thoroughly from himself, whom he considered an adversary.
however.
Now, he was showing his true self, who had completely thrown off his mask, and the worst form of corruption in the Moorim League without adding or subtracting.
There was only one possibility.
“I can’t believe the ambassador came to ban… … !?”
?-.
Zigong’s fingers lightly pointed at the Zhuge Gun.
A jegal gun that has all internal attacks banned. Of course, now he was just an ordinary scholar. On the other hand, Zigong is one of the best masters in Moorim.
It was a move that could never be stopped.
Jegalchong, which had both Mahyeol (痲穴, blood that paralyzes the body) and Ahyeol (啞穴, blood that makes it impossible to speak) at the same time, stopped in place like a straw bale.
“Jegal gun.”
Zigong went behind Zhuge Chong’s back.
“Do you know when power becomes truly strong?”
To him, Jegalchong was no longer the leader. A plain tone of voice reveals an open bottom line.
“It’s time for an unprecedented fear.”
Zigong’s eyes turned to Ban, correcting what he had just said.
“Ah, I made a mistake. It is a fear that existed in an earlier era. Such a transcendent fear, wondering how strong it would have become with the flow of the times.”
Toktok, Zigong’s index finger lightly tapped Zhuge Chong’s shoulder.
“There are two kinds of great people. A talented person like you and-.”
A very mild smile appeared on his face again, as if it had never happened before.

“A human resource like the one hidden inside.”
But there was no warmth in that smile.
“The latter is what we need now. A disaster that will overturn the Murimmaeng. The Buddha says that every thing and every existence has a front side and a back side. Right now, the Moorim League is teeming with talented people, but there are no talented people. As long as you don’t flip the back side. haha.”
In the sunken eyes of Zhuge Chong, bloodshot eyes stood up. It was the eye that noticed everything.
“Yes. As you guessed, No-nap intends to open the back side of the Murim League, the absolute forbidden area.”
Knock knock.
“Ah, more precisely, you opened it. You’ll probably guess by now… … Nonap plans to do a little cleaning this time around. In your name, Zhuge Chong.”
Zigong’s fingers gently tapped the paralyzed Zhuge Chong’s shoulder.
“The current leader, Jegal Chong, cannot withstand the onslaught of hearings on successive corruption scandals, and opens an absolute ban with the intention of overthrowing the Murim League.”
“… … .”
“Like that, by the last evil Buddha that came into the world after 197 years, numerous victims who attended the memorial service came out. How is it? Wouldn’t it make a pretty good picture?”
“… … .”
“Achacha, and the first place the evil fire will appear is here. Aren’t there many Moorim achievements in the basement besides the old Daeungjeon? Wouldn’t it be possible to start anew only when all the beasts are released and all useless beings are wiped out in the Murimmaeng? That’s how you’ll be able to take care of all of them. Of course, you will be cleaned along with it. The madman leader must be killed by the evil fire he summoned so that, at least in small ways, a better picture would emerge. Heh heh heh.”
Knock knock.
“The blood will resolve itself after one try.”
Zigong patted Zhuge Chong lightly on the shoulder for the last time and left the office.
“If you are still alive by then.”
Kee-ik, thump.
The door opened and closed again, and now only Jegalchong was left there… … .
Vibration rang again from the ban.
Kurrrrrr-.

Lv. ??? [filial piety]
20 years old
strength : ???
health : ???
Agility : ???
mental : ???
Power: ???
Faced with an existence whose age even reversed itself, my mouth spat out a word without even realizing it.
“Heavenly Demon… … !?”
But I quickly swallowed it back.
‘No, no.’
He seemed to have the same presence as the Heavenly Demon, but it didn’t match common sense.
Isn’t the author originally younger than 251 years old to the current body age?
As far as I know, the Heavenly Demon could never be 251 years old. So it must not be the Heavenly Demon.
a completely different being. One, such an indescribable monstrous existence.
‘Who is it?’
At that moment, Hyo Ki-sim removed his hand from the barricade and clenched his fist. At that moment, a terrifying energy that could split heaven and earth gathered in his hands.
My body trembled at that energy. Similar facial expressions to other guys.
“… … me, me… … !”
There was no time to be overbearing.
Soso and I grabbed one each of Alabongdae and Expectant Dream and retreated as far as possible.
that moment!
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
With a roar that seemed to annihilate the underground space, a huge amount of energy poured into the cage with fists.
A blow with energy so strong that even a thousand stones from a distance of 100 steps could be pulverized into powder.
“More, more!”
Each of us continued to fling our bodies away from the bars. Unfortunately, however, that momentum faded as if it permeated into the numerous battles spread out in front of the barricade.
Whirlpools -.
Instead, a huge gale of internal power blew inside the iron cage, and the bookshelves inside it were knocked over at random and a commotion broke out.
“… … Everything, I’m glad.”
Daemong was exactly what he said.
But I’m glad…
‘To think he could show off that level of confidence without pulling out all the things stuck in the blood.’
He was truly a mighty force.
Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter to us right now.
Our business has nothing to do with the author, right?
If it could pop out of there, it would be a completely different problem, but since we don’t have to release a monster like that out there.
That problem won’t happen forever.
“let’s go. If you’re locked up here anyway, you’ll be the world’s wickedest person.”
At my hand gesture, we ran forward, clinging to the wall opposite the barbed wire where filial piety was trapped.
at that time.
―I want to read! I want to read! I want to read!
Aside from the ambiguity of its content, the way it was delivered… … .
It wasn’t transmission.
It is not a technique of vibrating qi and hitting the ear, but Shaolin’s unique electronic lip secret technique that conveys the meaning directly to the brain.
A legend among legends that was said to have been put into practice over 200 years ago.
“Hui Guangxin Language?”
― Heck, you are a knowledgeable child.
I instinctively stop my feet and mumble, but his words of wisdom repeatedly strike our brains.
‘… … It’s like planting wisdom in the Baekbo priesthood.’
A monster possessing the two legendary martial arts of Shaolin in one body.
Who is it?
―Please read them with that knowledge. If you do that, I’ll make anything you want come true.
I didn’t look that way on purpose.
Because I had heard of it before.
I heard that there is something called soul-soul magic that can be performed just by making eye contact. Well, it seemed that there was a countermeasure for that near the barricade, but the momentum of filial piety was so great.
“What we want is not here.”
Then, I tried to encourage Sakaihae to depart again, but at that moment, I screamed out of filial piety.
“Kwaaaaaaang! You are the same as Zigong, that kid!”
Rumble!
The roar shook the underground war, no, the whole prohibition.
Whiik!
My body staggered, drawn by an unknown force.
It wasn’t some kind of martial arts.
The filial piety’s ignorant mental power was typified, and it had an effect beyond the truth.
However, as expected, the power was not as transcendent as the actual ability of filial piety because of the Jinbeop.
I had no choice but to turn to filial piety in order not to stumble. I deliberately tried not to make eye contact with him, so the background around him naturally came into my eyes.
A lot of scattered books.
It wasn’t just books. Countless books were all ‘blankets’.
‘Recipe!?’
Were those the things you wanted me to read?
Support position -.
Could it be because of the influence of the 1st stage of mental remodeling?
In an instant, concentration was maximized, and the background of filial piety was sucked into the eyes as if it had stopped.
The contents of the recipe magazine hit my brain in the blink of an eye.
“Kuh-.”
Is it because they accept too much compressed information all at once?
Dizziness set in at the subtle, unknown shock.
I barely made it through… … Her body staggered back and was dragged toward the bars. Soso and Gifu grabbed me, but a strange force pushed them away.
― Ehh? What are you twisting about? Have you ever had a daydream?
daydream?
The moment I heard that, I wanted to say a lot of something, but I was strangely speechless.
– So, what did you dream about?
what a dream
― Or did you even read them?
Before we could say anything about him, another inflection point was approaching our side.
At a different entrance from the one we entered, dozens of Lv. I could see the translucent windows pushing into this place. It was still too far away to make a detailed recognition of who it was.
‘uh!?’
And seeing the scene where they slowly approach, a strange familiarity strikes.
“hmm!? What are those guys?”
If I had discovered them with [Three Jians], Gifu would have sensed them with a sense of humor.
A sense of deja vu… … is it?
It’s not… … .
That… … .
‘I’ve never acted like this before?’
… … The moment I felt that.
● ● ●
“hmm!? What about those guys?”
The moment Gifu recognized the suspicious people.
“… … !”
On the other hand, we… … found
But what?
The feeling of deja vu… … It was a sense of déjà vu, but as if I had become someone other than myself, I felt as if I was watching us (including me) from the sky. at different points in time.
The status window that popped up the moment I saw the masked man running in front of him.
Lv. 77 [City Boy]
and,
No questions and answers.
Masked people attacked us.
Tring-!
● ● ●
Hwarak-!
I don’t know why.
Perhaps it was because he was embarrassed.
I got out of the sense of déjà vu who didn’t know who it belonged to, and I jumped out with the rest of the gangsters.
In an instant, we got away from filial piety and all that.
Is it because of that?
The situation of deja vu I just saw did not happen. The ‘ringing’ sound that I heard then did not occur.
It must be because the encounter with the city man did not actually take place.
I was curious about the contents of [Sudden Mission], but I didn’t want to open the lid of the already closed box.
black people.
I don’t know, but they must be Young Silk members.
Dozens of young secret members and Lv. 77’s city boy.
‘The content of the [Sudden Mission] was probably to deal with the city man and the rest of the masked people.’
To stop them with our current strength alone was to hit a rock with an egg.
The moment [Sudden Mission] appeared, we would have been annihilated. And on that path, they would have invaded Daeungjeon through the underground passage like us, killed the Jegal Lord, and escaped leisurely.
As we quickly ran away from them and filial piety and ran through a passage presumably toward the main hall, Alabongdae said.
“You bastard, what did you feel?”
Strictly speaking, I saw it, but it’s a doggingaegin.
“Dozens of unidentified bastards have just entered the ban.”
“Yes? Ooh, there are other chi, intruders besides us in this ban?”
It’s a big dream.
“okay.”
“Who are you?”
The only person other than me who noticed, Gifu said.
“I don’t know. The good news is that we saw them, but they didn’t seem to see us.”
After spitting it out, I thought something was strange.
Are you really lucky? How is the situation different from that of deja vu? I couldn’t even confirm what [Sudden Mission] was, and was it really good that I didn’t receive it even though I could get it?
But whatever it is, from now on, I have to lead it in a direction that is clearly different from the ‘imagination’ that has invaded my head. First of all, I have to reach Daeungjeon before they do.
‘Yes, judging from my experiences so far, this is the best.’
I was sure
I don’t know if that was a sense of déjà vu, or maybe it was a real foreknowledge of the future… … .
Fortunately, I believe I have turned.
I was about to run forward again, but Soso took my hand and said.
“Shouldn’t we go back and stop them now?”
“Yes… … ? kid, do you have to do that? Ooh, we are too, it’s not the situation to chase after them right now… … .”
Daemong opposes Soso’s opinion.
If we were caught here, or if the situation went strangely and the Moorim Meng from the outside noticed that we had infiltrated this place, we could face the worst situation rather than the people in the city.
It could have been a fatal blow to the Jegal Lord, who was already on the verge of a crisis.
I thought about it for a very short time, really for a very short time.
to go back or not
But then… … .
― Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-!
Guangxu, written in Huiguangsim language, struck his mind.
It was loud enough to shake not only me, but probably the entire Murimmaeng.
and.
A hole was pierced in the sky, and darkness came.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… … .
.
..
…
….
…..
Chijik-, Chijikjik-.
“Um… … .”
I woke up with a strange sound.
How long were you down?
I shake my head and try to stand up, but something heavy is on my back. The creaking body turned sideways.
something falling to the floor.
“… … .”
The noise that had been bothering my ears was suddenly inaudible. Instead, the meowing sound of the heart engulfed the place.
Why is there such a time?
It’s so outrageous and absurd, if that’s filthy sad.
Having a strange ringing with a tingling heart.
something.
I stumbled upon something.
Maybe, maybe… … Because I’m alive… … .
How much work is still to be done… … I still have so many questions to ask you… … .
Why are you falling asleep already, goddung.
“Leader- Chijijijik! Back-chijijik!”
As I was staring blankly at Alabongdae’s corpse, I heard a strange shout in my ears.
I didn’t stand up. I just stood up as my feet guided me.
You must have lost your mind in the ban?
I was standing in the middle of a large basin. And finally, beyond the lifted fog, the image of the destroyed Murimmaeng came into sight.
Warriors running around busily.
Seeing this, goosebumps ran down my spine.
Why is there such a thing as a human premonition?
My eyes hurriedly swept the lower right corner.
There is still a lot of blinking time left… … .
That moment.
Tring-.
A translucent window overlapped in front of my eyes following the sound that struck my ears like a roar.
Shaking, hands shaking.
After confirming that Soso, Gifu, and Daemong, who were still unconscious, were alive and dead, I carried the corpses of Alabongdae on my back and stepped out of the ruins, dragging my feet like an unmarried man.
Among the warriors wandering around like crazy, countless corpses come and stick in their eyes like stigmas.
and… … .
My whole body went blank now.
The cries of the administrative officers ringing in the ears.
I don’t want to hear it, but I prick my ears. like a lion’s roar.
“The lord is dead! The main culprit of the great blood affair, Zhuge Liang, is dead!”
I was mistaken.
Zigong is aiming for something like simple assassination or poisoning.
however… … .
It wasn’t.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
I cried while holding the body of Alabongdae.
[Mission Failed]
You have failed your mission.
suffer a disadvantage.
