Worthless Regression Chapter 266

————————————==

[268] Baeksogo (3)

“We’re having an interesting conversation.”

Laughter was heard in the dark.

When Baek So-go and Lee Seong-min became aware of the existence of Sima Lianju. He was already on top of the pavilion. Sabeolju stretched out his hand towards the gourd that had been placed on the table.

“It’s a wonderful drink.”

When Sima Lianju smelled the incense rising from the gourd, he burst out in admiration.

He raised the empty glass as a gift and poured some alcohol. At the same time, he moved his eyes inside the mask and looked at Baek Sogo.

“We will eradicate evil. I will get rid of all the evildoers. Hehehe! “Isn’t that extremely arrogant?”

Baek So-go was not embarrassed by the appearance of Sima Lianzhu. Even though he was laughed at in his face, Baek Sogo’s expression was calm.

Facing Bai Shaogu’s blunt gaze, Sima Lianzhu slightly lifted his mask and drank his drink. After emptying his glass, Sima Lianzhu let out an exclamation.

“I thought you were an extremely incompetent disciple. It seems you know the taste of alcohol well. “It’s shameful that I kept this liquor and didn’t offer it to my teacher.”

“You never asked for it.”

“Are you only thinking and acting when you hear direct demands? That’s why I call you stupid. “If there is such a good drink, wouldn’t it be right to offer a glass to the teacher?”

“I’m going to raise a drink now, so stop whining.”

“You’re such a rotten bastard for scolding your teacher.”

Sima Lianju grumbled and pushed the gourd towards Li Seongmin.

Seongmin Lee sighed and stood up. He took the gourd with both hands and poured the wine into the cup of Saber.

“Good and evil can be overturned depending on one’s perspective. Ink flash light Baeksogo. You said you would eradicate all evil in this world. “Who decides that the evil you want to eradicate is evil?”

“It’s me.”

Baek Sogo answered the question full of ridicule without hesitation.

In response, Sima Lianzhu laughed again. He couldn’t help but laugh.

“you. Are you saying that you have a standard that can accurately determine what is good and what is evil?”

“no. I don’t have it. “I know best myself that my standards are narrow.”

“And yet you say you will eradicate evil?”

“yes.”

“You’re crazy.”

Sima Lianzhu laughed and shook his head in response to Bai Shaogu’s answer.

Even though he knew that his words and actions were distorted, Baek Sogo did not hesitate at all.

Baek So-go stared at the masked Sima Lianzhu.

“I will follow the universal view and simply seek to eradicate what most people call evil.”

“If powerful people gather together and speak with one voice, the ignorant and ignorant below will think that even lies are the truth. Look. Most people refer to my incompetent disciples as demons. “Is that really the case?”

“There will be some who feel wronged. I do not intend to unconditionally eradicate evil just because it is evil. Meet, experience, experience. “If there are unfair circumstances, we will fully consider those circumstances.”

“Mukshingwang, you speak of impossible and ridiculous ideals. “What you are doing now will not be much different from what a child says about creating a just world.”

“Maybe so.”

There is still no wavering in Baek Sogo’s answer.

“But I am not a child.”

“That’s why it’s more dangerous. Because there aren’t many people in this world who can stop you. “It’s dangerous because you act like a child.”

“I’m trying to do the right thing.”

“Who will judge whether what you are doing is right?”

Sima Lianzhu snorted and asked.

“What if you yourself became evil at some point? The actions you take, the justice you administer. eradication of evil. “What if it’s all wrong?”

“You will die.”

It was a statement that there was no need to worry about.

“If that happens to me, I will kill myself.”

“You’re crazy.”

Sima Lianzhu clicked his tongue and muttered. He realized that no matter what he said here, he couldn’t convince that half-crazed girl.

Sima Lianzhu narrowed his eyes and glared at Bai Shaogu.

“If I am evil, would you kill me?”

“I would have done it if I could. “But not now.”

This time, Baek Sogo answered without hesitation.

During the few days he spent here, Bai Shaogu clearly realized what a monster Sima Lianzhu was and had tremendous inaction.

“and. I want you to… … “I’m not sure if he’s a villain.”

“Most people call me the King of Demons. Because Sima Lian is a den of demons, and my seat stands at the peak of them. But does this mean that I am not a villain?”

“I told you. Just because most people say they are evil, I have no intention of eradicating them unconditionally.”

After Baek So-go answered like that, he looked at Lee Seong-min. She said, bowing her head slightly towards Lee Seong-min.

“Does the priest think what I’m saying is nonsense?”

“… … “What answer do you expect from me?”

“I don’t want you to tell me that what I said is right. “Because I also know how absurd the ideals I hope for are.”

Baek Sogo stood up while muttering that.

“A group called Cheonoecheon. What I really heard about the reality was… … This is the first time I heard it from a priest. I don’t sympathize with their ideals, but that doesn’t mean I can call them evil. “What they say is for the benefit of humans, even if the method is wrong.”

“Are you supporting Cheon Oecheon?”

“Why is the priest fighting with Cheon Oecheon?”

Baek Sogo asked back.

“While they were trying to kidnap Socheonma, the priest collided with Cheonoecheon. After that, Cheon Oecheon framed the priest. “The priest hunted them so as not to be killed by Cheon Oecheon.”

“Of course.”

“If the misunderstanding is resolved. What if they don’t try to take Socheonma by force? “What if the animosity between the priest and Cheon Oecheon disappears?”

“Are you saying that we can all get together and become friends who laugh, joke, and share drinks?”

“That might happen. “Relationships can change at any time.”

Baek Sogo smiled bitterly as he said that.

“I can’t believe that those who care for humans are unconditionally wrong.”

“Actually, Cheon Oecheon was a good guy. “Are you trying to say that?”

“I mean, that could happen.”

“… … private residence. I think we’ve already gone too far to come back. And I am. “I can’t imagine myself going with Cheon Oecheon.”

“why?”

“Because your priest is a monster.”

It was Sima Lianju who answered Baek Sogo’s question. At those words, Baek Sogo’s face suddenly froze.

“… … what do you mean?”

“That’s literally it.”

Seongmin Lee sighed and received Sima Lianju’s words. He caressed his left chest, which contained his beating heart.

“I am… … It’s closer to being non-human. “If Cheon Oecheon’s purpose is to annihilate all human beings, then I am included among the human beings they want to destroy.”

Unlike before, Baek Sogo did not respond immediately to those words. She looked at Lee Seong-min with eyes full of obvious trembling. She hesitated for a moment, but Baek Sogo barely managed to get her voice out and asked.

“… … “Why did the priest become like that?”

“Because I was weak.”

I think about it several times. What if I didn’t get the black heart? What if I hadn’t met Heo Joo? If that had been the case, even if he had learned Shingongjeolk from Wijihoyeon, he would not have become as strong as he is now.

Perhaps, at this age, I may have barely reached my peak. Denir’s training may have been a variable, but he himself was skeptical about whether he could overcome the wall of transcendence without the help of Black Heart or Heoju.

“I know it is an apostle. But I couldn’t help it. Regret… … “I’m not even doing it.”

“Priests… … .”

“I have no regrets.”

Seongmin Lee spoke once again. At those words, Baek Sogo was silent for a long time.

While that heavy silence passed, Sima Lianju took the liquor bottle from Lee Seong-min and emptied the glasses one after another.

“The alcohol tastes really good.”

[This guy knows something.]

“But I’m not in the mood for a fun drink. “I’m going to have a drink alone, so you can make noise yourself.”

After saying these words, Sima Lianzhu took the bottle and disappeared. This happened without Lee Seong-min having time to claim that the bottle was his.

[That damn bastard!]

Heoju shouted.

“… … Are priests monsters?”

Behind Heo Joo’s insults, Baek Sogo asked a question.

“It would be closer to a monster than a human.”

“What kind of monster is it?”

“monster.”

“Do priests eat cannibalism?”

Baek Sogo asked another question. Most humans eat cannibalism.

Not all humans are cannibals, but many of them have no choice but to do so in order to maintain their existence. Vampires that suck human blood, monsters that eat human flesh, etc.

“Do not.”

“… … Have you ever tried it?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“The priest… … He said he wasn’t a complete monster. I guess it means being in between humans and monsters. Answer me, priest. Don’t lie… … honestly. “Which of the two do you want to be as a priest?”

“I want to remain human.”

Seongmin Lee answered without lying.

The answer was correct for Baeksogo. Her stiff cheeks relax. Baek Sogo sighed and nodded her head.

“… … Priests. “I’m leaving here.”

Then he immediately talked about breaking up.

“of course. That doesn’t mean I’m leaving today. I am… … I wanted to see the priest again. I wanted to meet and talk, and ask for forgiveness. and… … “If possible, I wanted to be with a priest.”

“… … private residence.”

“I know. “That our positions are different.”

Baek Sogo shook his head.

“… … “Where are you going?”

“I’m thinking of going to Shaolin.”

Shaolin. What Lee Seong-min came to mind was not the prose of Shaolin, but the old Buddhist monk and Jihak, which is said to be the future of Shaolin.

indeed. Those two would be close to what ‘most’ people would say are righteous people. Seongmin Lee also met them in person. At least Lee Seong-min couldn’t think that they were involved in some kind of conspiracy or that they were connected to Cheon Oecheon.

“Why are you going to Shaolin?”

“North Taishan. It refers to Shaolin and shamans. Even if the Murim Alliance has degenerated, I cannot believe that all political factions are evil. so… … I’m going to Shaolin. “Because Shaolin is the great mountain of the martial arts faction.”

Baek Sogo answered like that and put his hand inside his sleeve. What she took out was a gray bracelet.

“I asked Scarlett for it. “It’s the same bracelet she gave us.”

“Is this for when we are in danger?”

“That too. “I also want to leave a token of my connection with the priest.”

Seongmin Lee received a bracelet from Sogo Baek. Baek Sogo smiled as he held up the gray bracelet on his wrist and showed it to him.

“of course. “If the priest is in danger, I will go to his rescue as quickly as I can, no matter where I am.”

“The world is wide.”

Lee Seong-min chuckled and wrapped the bracelet around his wrist.

“If you’re on the other side, even if you warn them of the danger, they won’t be able to come to your rescue.”

“Then don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation.”

Baek Sogo smiled and answered.

When I opened the door to the annex and entered, the smell of reagents was still lingering inside.

Lee Seong-min looked at the end of the hallway, but Scarlett was not in sight. Instead, only Scarlett’s voice came from across the hallway.

“sorry. It’s such an important time right now that I can’t leave. “But since I’m speaking using loudspeaker magic, you can hear me well, right?”

“yes.”

“so. “Has Baeksogo gone?”

“yes. “I went to bed.”

“I thought you were going to leave right away, but it looks like you weren’t.”

“Isn’t it heartless to leave so soon?”

Lee Seong-min answered like that and walked down the hallway. If you walk down the long hallway and turn to the side, you will find the living room.

The living room looked completely different from when Lee Seong-min used this annex.

All kinds of magic tools were strewn about, and an unidentifiable sticky liquid was bubbling inside a large pot.

In the middle of the living room, reminiscent of the witch’s workshop from stories only children hear, a red-haired witch was standing with a look of obvious fatigue, overseeing the flow of mana.

“Are you okay?”

“Is there any way it could be okay? “I haven’t slept for two days already.”

“What are you doing?”

“Do you understand when I talk to you?”

“I can’t.”

“Then I won’t tell you either. “If I try to talk to someone who doesn’t understand, it only makes my mouth hurt and frustrated.”

Scarlett moved her hands while muttering that. The red magic power that had gathered in her hand slipped out and combined with magic power of a different color.

While doing so, he licks his lips and chants a spell, then raises his index finger and writes runes in the air.

Lee Seong-min pulled out a chair and sat down at a distance that would not disturb Scarlett. He chanted for a while, combining mana, and it was after dawn that Scarlett, who had been writing runes in the air, stopped.

“Are you free?”

Scarlett turned and asked. She picked up her towel, which had been thrown away carelessly, and wiped her sweat-soaked face and her wet hair.

Then, he muttered while licking his lips.

“I just need to take a bath. “I haven’t washed in two days and it stinks.”

“Can’t I just use magic?”

“The purpose of taking a bath is not necessarily to wash the body and remove bad odor. “I want to relax and soak in a hot bath.”

Scarlett grumbled and sat down in her chair. Scarlett, who was massaging her stiff shoulder, glanced at Lee Sung-min.

“You can’t steal.”

“I don’t steal.”

Seongmin Lee was dumbfounded and grumbled.
