On the monster’s tail (2)
As always, Ilho was looking at the picture on the wall.
The person reporting behind the scenes was Chilho.
“The unknown Daehyeop killed the butcher.”
Ilho said while turning around.
“Did you see the fight in person?”
“yes.”
“How was it?”
“It was a martial arts performance I’ve never seen before.”
“Compared to you?”
“I’m not confident I can win.”
In response to Chilho’s honest answer, Ilho asked again.
“What do you think of Goemangryang?”
In fact, there was no point in asking this question about the number of kills. Because assassins were able to kill enemies stronger than themselves using various means. Moreover, if you are a skilled shooter like Goemangyang, it is pointless to discuss your opponent’s skills.
I meant it.
Nevertheless, Chilho’s outlook was negative.
“I think it won’t be easy for Gwonmangryang to come to terms with it.”
Ilho, who had been looking at the picture, finally turned to her.
“Are you that strong?”
“yes.”
“Who the hell is it?”
“Nothing has been revealed yet.”
“Some strange guy fell from the sky, killed the butcher, and then disappeared?”
“yes.”
“Did it happen by chance, independent of us?”
“I think so. “The movements of me and Goemangryang were not captured anywhere.”
“Of course it was.”
Ilho sat down in his seat and tapped his desk lightly with his fingers. This is his habit when he concentrates on something.
“Kangho has been very quiet so far. It’s about time the pocket piercing awl came out. Chilho.”
“yes.”
“You can take charge of this nameless guy. Make sure you find out who he is, where he is and what he does. “You can’t wear clothes with awls sticking out of your pockets, right?”
“all right.”
At that time, a man came in and reported.
“The location of the Unknown Grand Hyeop has been confirmed.”
“What?”
Both Ilho and Chilho were surprised.
“Where is it?”
“It’s in Jeongju.”
“What if it’s Jeongju?”
“This is where the demon spirit is. Lee Ho sent a message. “A person named Unknown Daehyeop came into contact with the Demon Spirit.”
In the organization, Macheolgun is given the third name, and Malyeongin is given the second name.
“I get it.”
After finishing the report, the man immediately left.
“I got involved in your business, and this time I got involved with Lee Ho? It can’t be a coincidence. “This guy is unusual.”
Ilho’s eyes shone sharply. His fingers tapping on the table became faster. After a while the tapping stopped.
“Chilho, you go and figure out the situation.”
“Iho won’t like it if I intervene.”
“I guess so.”
Ilho looked at Chilho. Chilho lowered his head as he looked at me with a reprimand asking if he was going to disobey my orders.
“sorry. “We will leave immediately.”
“Take Goemangryang and Chwirang (醉郞) together.”
Chwirang was one of the four strongest assassins in the organization along with Goemangryang.
“Do you even have a drink?”
“You said he’s a strong guy? If you think it needs to be removed, get rid of it right away. Ignore Lee Ho’s opinion. “I will trust your judgment.”
“All right.”
Chilho turned around and left.
Ilho watched her until the door closed and finally got up.
He looked again at the picture on the wall. He thought to himself as if he were talking to himself.
“Don’t die. Even if I die… … “Only the dead are pitiful.”
I couldn’t tell if he was speaking to Chilho, who had already left, to the painting, or to himself.

I ate dinner with my friend.
It was a very nice dinner. It made me wonder how on earth one could eat such a dish in a secret underground room.
It is said that I fed three demonic spirits, but even so, I am only an unreliable one-year-old swordsman. Enjoying dinner with me meant one thing. That there is something that needs me.
What on earth are you trying to do?
“Are you really able to release the restrictions of the Buddhist Demonic Order or something?”
As I became impatient, the demon spirit forcefully put down the chopsticks he was holding.

widely.
“Did I tell you? There is a way to free him. “I hate it when guys whine.”
“I’m sorry.”
When I flinched and became discouraged, he comforted me.
“Don’t be impatient. “Everything will be resolved when the time comes.”
Once you get really angry like this, it’s hard to ask about it again. A magician is someone who knows how to use her skills.
“But I have one question.”
“Tell me.”
“Why did the man I saw yesterday die? “It looks like she’s doing some kind of test.”
The demon spirit looked at me without saying a word.
“Didn’t I just show it to make you curious? “If not, why did you show me something like that?”
The frozen Demon Spirit chuckled. After hearing it, I think that’s the case.
“Do you know why I’m having dinner with you instead of sending you out right away?”
“How should I know why?”
“This is it.”
“Make it easy to understand.”
“This is it. “You are strangely arrogant.”
“It’s no big deal. It’s nice to be cocky. “If all the powerful people were like you, I could become the Murim lord.”
“haha.”
I started using chopsticks again. It didn’t matter what dishes were placed there. This is what makes Mandokbulchim good. The fact that you can eat anything delicious.
The demon spirit who was quietly staring at me suddenly spoke.
“I’m looking for ingredients.”
My chopsticks stopped for a moment.
“What ingredients?”
The demon spirit said with a strange smile.
“Would you like to go and see what it is?”
“Okay. Instead, let’s finish eating.”
I used chopsticks again. There’s no need to seem too anxious to know his secret.
If you have the will to show it, you will show it somehow, and if you don’t have the will to show it, you won’t show it even if you beg.
The demon asked with a grin.
“Is the rice I eat every day that delicious?”
I said with my mouth full.
“Isn’t that why all the fuss is happening because of the food I eat every day?”
“ha ha ha.”
After I finished eating, the demon took me out of the room.
I walked down the hallway after him. Even though I didn’t make a ticket, I was looking around with all my concentration.
The room I just left is located about a dozen steps away from the room where I first met him. There is no machinery between this room and that room. At least I don’t feel it in my senses.
After passing the room where we first met and turning the corner, we come to the hallway we walked down with Chu Dochi. That hallway was the second hallway where I felt the presence of people, after the institution.
I can still feel the energy of the eight masters.
Two rooms facing each other in front.
A powerful energy was flowing from one room, and a strange energy of unknown origin was flowing from the other room.
The moment when the demon spirit took me into the place where strange energy was flowing.
Rattling.
The back room opened. It was the same room where the exam was held yesterday.
“No outsiders.”
When I turned around, a man was standing behind the open door.
The moment I saw the man, I knew who he was.
Unique indifferent eyes.
It was the look in Chilho’s eyes, and it was also the look in the eyes of the man who was with Ma Cheol-gun.
He came from that very organization. Indeed, one was assigned to each successor. The Demon Spirit, who was planning something great, was no exception.
So, was Ma Bong-gi involved in this? What if it’s not? Several questions came to mind.
The eyes of the demon spirit and the man became intertwined in the air. Her man showed no emotion. She also did not seem to accept other people’s feelings at the same time. I feel like if I get angry, all my emotions will be wasted.
The Demon Spirit smiled and said to me.
“It doesn’t work.”
I whispered to the demon spirit.
“Why don’t you ask how you felt when you saw that person?”
“How is it?”
“I want to beat you harder than you did.”
“ha ha ha.”
The demon spirit said with a relieved expression.
“Take it slow. “Wouldn’t it be fun to know everything in one day?”
“Of course.”
widely.
The man closed the door and went back in.
As I turned around following the demon, I looked back and forth between the two rooms.
Powerful energy and mysterious energy.
The answer to what their plan was was in this room.
* * *
I was again led by Chu Do-chi and left there blindfolded.
The carriage moved somewhere again.
This time too, I tried to bring in all my senses and remember where I was going.
It would have been easy to guess its location if it had returned to the same place it came from, but the carriage did not return to Bangseong.
The place we arrived at after running for a while was a guest house in Jeojat Street, Jeongju.
“Wait here for orders.”
“You mean in the guest room?”
“okay.”
“shit! You ignore people so much. “Then please rent a separate building.”
“I told you before, you are nothing. “Even if I sleep in a stable, I have to sleep.”
“joy! I have not forgotten. “You gave me three poisons.”
“If you continue to be so arrogant, it will be difficult to hold on to your head.”
Even though Chu Do-chi confirmed that my strength was approaching that of Lee Gap-ja, he was not afraid at all. The people we saw in the previous chapter were also like this. No matter who the opponent was or what their skill level was, he was not afraid of death.
Chu Do-chi soothed me in a slightly softened tone.
“Anyway, thanks to you, didn’t I gain half my strength in one go? And I was planning to take you to Ma Daehyeop from the beginning. “I didn’t mean to kill you.”
This guy is a lie, that guy is a lie too. Gangho is full of lies.
“Are you serious?”
“under oath.”
If you’re going to fool me like that, you should at least pretend to fool me.
I said with a relaxed face.
“How long should I wait?”
“Until we give the order.”
“Okay. Instead, it won’t be attached to the guest cup. Because I can never stand anything frustrating. So, please give orders early in the morning.”
“If possible, do it.”
He added as he was about to turn around.
“Don’t spy on me. If there’s someone watching, I won’t hesitate to cut it down. “I warned you clearly.”
Then Chu Do-chi snorted and said.
“You still think you are something great. You are not that important. If you want to leave, do so now. “With that skill, I can live a wonderful life for a year.”
Chu Do-chi left the guesthouse without even looking back.
I went up to the guest room he had given me. As I was going up, I spoke to Jeomsoy.
“I’m going to sleep, so don’t wake me up.”
“all right.”
The moment I entered the room on the second floor, I raised my spirits and checked to see if there were any guards around.
Whether they were ignoring me or overconfident, there was no one watching.
Anyway, it’s something I’m thankful for.
I jumped out of the second-floor window.
I followed Chudochchi as he went far away. You really can’t imagine that I would follow you right away.
This was the reason why he said he would cut down the guard. If there was really someone watching, he would have gotten rid of him. If you put it on again, it will be removed again.
If you remove it like that, it won’t be attached anymore. As with all things, the beginning is always important.
He did not return to his former manor. The place he arrived at was the military officer in Jeongju.
The man who opened the door at the entrance greeted him politely.
I realized this was another of their strongholds. The man who opened the door was the one I saw earlier at the additional store.
The scale of these people is formidable.
Along the way, I rented a carriage with a driver.
I rode a carriage and came to the entrance from Bangseong to Jeongju.
“Now, from now on, please do as I tell you. “I may get lost because I came here a long time ago, so please understand.”
“Seek out slowly.”
Since we have already paid the wages until midnight anyway, it will be more comfortable and better for the coachman if we go slowly.
All my memories and feelings returned to that time.
It wasn’t as easy as I thought. The time I came that day and the current time zone were different, so the sound I heard was different. Since the carriage was different, the feel of the ground that I remembered was also different.
But my memory was better than ever, and my concentration and senses were at their best. I recalled the memories again and again.
After some trial and error, I finally found the manor I was taken to. It was a small manor located far away from the village.
You never would have guessed that I would try to find this place right after you released me. One of the most important tactics in fighting an enemy is to catch them off guard.
There wasn’t even an old plaque on the manor. Among the manors, it was a very small and old place.
There is something scary hidden in the basement of the manor, which seems to be a place where an old couple can live while growing flowers in the garden.
I didn’t hastily sneak in there. The experts were experts, but the real problem was the engine system. It would not be easy to break through, and it was impossible to pass secretly.
Therefore, if you infiltrate that place from the outside, you only have one chance. When I decided to break everything in and turn it over.
First, I climbed a distant tree and monitored the place.
I was wondering if anyone would come to visit this place.
Finding the mastermind? Wouldn’t the simplest and fastest way be to check who is in contact with the demonic spirit?
I knew that surveillance was a battle of perseverance, so I sat down on a tree branch with a relaxed mind, had a good luck breakfast, and monitored the area.
After midnight, someone walked out of the building.
He was a magician. There are a total of eight people following.
I could see that they were the eight masters I had felt in the rooms on either side of the hallway. They are warriors guarding the Demon Spirit.
He left the manor in a carriage. His men escorted him on horseback.
When I saw him going out, I had a brief desire to sneak into the manor. Because I was so curious about what was in that room.
But if you can’t penetrate the organ or find something in that room, finding out who’s behind it will be in vain. Because everyone will hide. It is still too early to infiltrate.
My choice today was Magician.
I flew like a bird towards where the carriage had run.
