Absolute Regression - Chapter 137

Episode 137 This is why I wanted to come.

In the flowing silence, Chuma noticed one thing.

“Did you already know?”

“I expected that might be the case. “The brother I know is not the kind of person who would send broken liquor bottles to Mr. Chuma.”

“I thought you two didn’t get along?”

“Don’t you usually learn more about people you hate than about people you are close to?”

Chuma, who was staring at me, suddenly stood up.

“Ah, I’m getting drunk.”

Then he immediately threw himself into the lake.

“Change your drinking and swimming habits!”

Regardless of my worries, Chuma swam well. My skills were good, but more than that, I knew how to have fun swimming. I dived, I floated looking at the sky, I sped up and came back, and I jumped like a dolphin and dived in.

So Chuma swam happily and came back to the ferry boat.

“I’m finally sobering up.”

And then I drank again.

“Are you drinking again after you’ve sobered up?”

“Aren’t you sober to drink again?”

I shouted to the female guest standing by the lake far away.

“Please bring me some snacks here!”

Then, as if she had been waiting, Yeobin drove a ferry boat and brought snacks. I prepared it earlier and gave it to him, but it seems he only brought alcohol. After giving the snacks, Yeobin slightly bowed her head and expressed her gratitude to me.

“Get into the habit of eating snacks.”

“I haven’t eaten anything in my life, is that easy?”

“Why do I only do what I want to do? “Even if you don’t like it, you have to do it.”

“Why are you so concerned about my health?”

I ate the snacks with chopsticks. It was warm. It looks like they were keeping it warm so they could bring it back at any time.

“Am I the only one who takes care of you? Now, please eat.”

Chuma reluctantly ate the snack.

After drinking together, we looked up at the night sky.

“Oh good!”

It was really good, just like Chuma’s exclamation. As I floated a boat on the lake here and drank alcohol while looking at the stars, I felt envious of immortals.

Chwima, who was lying down and looking at the stars, said.

“My dream is to drink and have fun. If a demonic war breaks out, this lake could turn into red blood. “Then how can I sober up?”

The name of the German weapon hanging on Chwima’s waist is Hyeolru. He is now saying such things while wearing a German weapon called Tears of Blood.

“Are you serious?”

“I’m serious. “I want to live like this for the rest of my life and then die.”

“Is that really why you want to be mine?”

“That’s right.”

“Then prove it.”

“How?”

“Reconcile with the old man of Hyeolcheon Doma.”

Chuma was startled, perhaps because it was an unexpected suggestion.

“I’m serious too. From now on, you will have to work hard to become my own person. “If you reconcile with the old man of Hyeolcheondoma and maintain an amicable relationship with the extreme evil soma…”

I said to him after emptying the remaining drink.

“I will treat you like a brother and sister-in-law.”

There was silence again.

Chwima stared at me for a moment before finally opening his mouth.

“You really are an unpredictable person.”

“The one who is unpredictable is Mr. Chwima. You are a person surrounded by all kinds of prejudices. Rather, I am rational. “It’s about exchanging what I want and what you want.”

After taking a refreshing drink, I put down the bottle and asked.

“Was it a joke to ask me to be friendly with you?”

“It wasn’t a joke.”

“It’s about being a brother to someone. You need to show this level of sincerity. Oh, that person is doing something for me that I really don’t want to do. You do it even though you really don’t feel like it. We ate snacks and made up. What can’t you say with words? “Even the Murim Lord will be roasted and boiled on my side.”

“If you were me, you could really bake it.”

I laughed and drank alcohol.

“It’s not because I don’t want to reconcile.”

“sure?”

“Reconciliation with Hyeolcheondoma is impossible in the first place. Have you ever seen water and oil mixing?”

“There is no need to mix. Just floating together.”

“What if someone starts a fire?”

“It’s a ride. If you don’t like it, just ask. I’m oiling the old man. “He’s naturally a fiery person, so let’s add fuel to the fire.”

He used to laugh at most jokes, but he didn’t laugh this time. It was quite an unwilling look.

If you look at what you do to me, I think you will at least smile on the outside and please Hyeolcheon Doma.

I even understood why Hyeolcheondoma hated drunkards. Because I hated people who drink and get drunk to begin with.

But why does Chu Ma find this reconciliation so burdensome?

“Is there another reason why you approached me? “Please stop talking nonsense like martial peace and reveal the real reason.”

He could have been angry at the rude words, but he just drank with drunken eyes.

“My older brother is enough for this kind of relationship between brother and sister.”

I jumped towards the ferry I had come on.

I almost wanted to stop him from going like this, but he didn’t say anything. I looked at him as I parked my boat on the shore of the lake. Chuma was drinking alone under the moonlight.

* * *

The next morning, I quietly left the school.

He left a note to Seo Dae-ryong saying he would be out for a few days.

Ever since Fengshinsabo reached the level of Eight Saints, my body was itching and I couldn’t just sit there. I tossed and turned all night long because I wanted to fight the strong, and my even stronger desire was to run.

I know I have to deal with this desire. In particular, extremely high martial arts such as Pungshin Sabo must be handled more carefully.

If this desire is handled incorrectly, it often results in death due to a curse or a reckless fight. This often happens when a person who is not good at bowling learns martial arts beyond bowling.

After getting off the bridge, I started running at a fast pace. It ran really scary. There was no need to wear a mask so that no one would recognize me.

I was running so fast that I had no idea who I was or if what I had just passed by was a person, a bird, or an illusion. It was that kind of speed. I was fast during Chilseong, but it was different then.

Originally, this speed was only possible in open areas like plains.

But there was an obstacle in the way I was running now. There were carriages running and people passing by. There were trees and rocks.

However, thanks to Shinanjutsu, I was able to run at this speed on any road.

In addition, as I reached the eight-star level, the amount of internal energy consumed actually decreased. It became possible to use martial arts more efficiently.

I ran until I ran out of energy, and after running out of energy, I ran again. It was the first time in my life that I had ever had this much fun running. Maybe it was more because my destination was where the people I wanted to see were.

* * *

The head of the Pungcheon Church and Gowol were sitting in a crowded bar. Several people came to their location at different times, reported something, and then left. There were men and women, some young and some old.

Every time they visited, Gowol was writing something down on paper.

“Why are you writing so meticulously? “You’ll think I’m working even if I don’t contact you.”

Gowol did not even listen to the words of the Pungcheon religious leader and wrote a war report. It was a letter to be sent to Geommugeuk.

Gowol was busy creating an information network in the central plains under the orders of Geommugeuk. Since the Pungcheon religious leader came along, things were going smoothly.

In the process of working, the leader of Pungcheon was once again impressed by Gowol’s abilities. They were forming an organization that operated in a different way from the existing Tongcheongak organization, so they were creating it so that it could later merge with Tongcheongak. He kept Geommugeuk in mind until he became the leader of the sect.

So it was more difficult, but it was Pungcheon Bridge that made the process easier.

When the two people joined forces, things went really smoothly. Of course, Gowol had to endure the dissatisfaction of the Pungcheon religious leader.

“Try spending 100 days like that and see if you get a reply from Duke Lee.”

“This is a report. “Where is the response to the report?”

“Why can’t you do it? If you have the heart, you do it. I did that, right? Our situation will end up being the shackles of that religious leader. Just look at this, this is what we are like now. “I go abroad and go through all the hardships.”

“Eat all the delicacies from each region. If you have time, go see the spectacular scenery. “It’s such a hardship.”

“It’s hard when you leave home!”

“Where is the cult leader’s house?”

At that moment, the leader of Pungcheon flinched. Gao Yue’s gaze shifted from what he was writing to the head of the cult.

“Isn’t the Church of Heavenly Demon the cult leader’s family? The head’s house is here in the central area. Advance to the midfield, advance to the midfield, you sang the song, right? Walk around and take a good look. We should build a house for the cult leader somewhere here. “Open your eyes wide and look!”

Since there was nothing left to say, the arrow of the Pungcheon cult leader was pointed at the sword dance again.

“joy! I need to build a house. Because Duke Lee must have forgotten about us. He’ll probably be upset when he sees us at school later. ah! right. Among my numerous subordinates, there was this idiot cult leader and shackled bastard. Ah, but what was the name of these shackles? No, even if it is different, in the end, everyone’s heart is there.”

“It’s the leader.”

“why?”

“Everyone is a shackle to someone else. People like Lee Gong-ja are special to everyone, but they all live with moderate disregard. And being a special person is also tiring. “It’s more suitable for the leader to live like this.”

“You’re ignoring me again? “Ignore me again!”

Gowol pretended not to hear and focused on writing again.

“He looked at the sound bell all day and moved slowly, but he became so diligent. “What on earth do you like about science and engineering so much that you’re making such a fuss?”

“What is it that you like about me so much that you followed me here and gave me trouble?”

The leader of Pungcheon gave no answer.

“Me too. Is there any reason to explain it? It’s just good. And next to Lee Gongja is the religious leader. So don’t be too sad.”

“joy! There are only two people around you. What about the second? “Aren’t you in last place?”

“Did you notice?”

“You crazy guy!”

Gowol laughed and the leader of Pungcheon also laughed along.

This conversation was a pleasure for both of them. We talked about what we said over and over again, we talked about sword dancing, we gossiped, we talked about the past, and then we talked about what was going to happen in the future. We talked about the same thing over and over again every day.

“This is proof that they are truly close friends. Being able to listen comfortably and say something over and over again. You can’t talk about this with a scientist, right? Isn’t it uncomfortable? That is proof that you are not close to Lee Gong-ja. No, you’re so busy acting like you’re here and there that you don’t even have time to listen to what you have to say, right?”

It was right then. Someone blurted out behind the Pungcheon religious leader.

“He said he was a scientist until the end.”

I was standing there smiling at the spot where the Pungcheon religious leader turned around in surprise.

“You meant to curse me until the end.”

The leader of Pungcheon and Gowol were startled and jumped up.

“Gongja Lee!”

“Gongja Lee!”

I still smiled and said to the leader of Pungcheon.

“This is why I wanted to come.”

“joy! Where did I say something that wasn’t there? whatever!”

I was glad to see that his appearance had not changed.

The place I ran to like crazy was where two people were working. I was able to visit them like this because I sent them a letter each time telling them where they were and how the work was progressing.

I had a late talk with the two people.

What was surprising was that Gowol was already aware of the fact that his brother, the extremely evil Soma or the Chumawa, was in contact with the Gwonma and the Poison King.

It could be seen that the information network within the school was already properly secured. The external information network was also rapidly expanding throughout the central region.

“What is your financial situation?”

“We’re almost out.”

It cost a huge amount of money to hire competent people and establish an organizational network. The money Gowol took out was 1.2 million nyang, but it had already run out. This was because the initial cost of building an organization was high.

“Additional funds will be sent soon.”

“yes!”

I still have enough funds thanks to the money I received from the Golden Market, but I need to earn more money to run the museum in the future.

At that time, I made eye contact with the leader of Pungcheon Church. Then he was startled.

“Why are you looking at me while talking about losing money?”

“It was nice to see you after a long time. why? “Can’t I see it?”

“It’s like an unspoken pressure to lend me money, right? I see, those eyes. It’s just those eyes! That sinister look in your eyes when you were targeting my stuff before. It’s impossible. “No way with my money!”

I burst out laughing.

“Thanks to that godfather, my life was saved.”

The head of the Pungcheon Church was surprised by my words.

“Really?”

“yes. “I survived thanks to Geukpumcheonjamsa Temple.”

“ah!”

Joy flashed across the face of the Pungcheon leader. Although he was grumbling his words, the affection for me in his eyes was incomparable to before.

Cult leader. I got the money. Let’s just keep going like this. I know very well what the leader sacrificed to come this far. I am grateful enough just for being by Gowol’s side.

“Now that I’ve seen your face, I’ll have to go back. “I have to go back by the morning after tomorrow.”

“The morning after tomorrow? What are you talking about? “How far is it from here?”

“Ogi arrived in two days. “I’m going to try to shorten the time when I go back.”

The leader of Pungcheon, who had a bewildered expression on his face, thought it was an opportunity and said to Gowol.

“Did you see it? This is your true self. I told you before that I was a braggart, right? Now you know how good I am at seeing people, right? “Are you still going to ignore me like this?”

Then Gowol quietly said.

“Is this really a bluff?”

The expression on Gowol’s face toward me was firm faith.

Then the leader of Pungcheon raised his voice.

“You’re bluffing! Even if you drive from here to the main school without stopping, it will take ten days. Even if I run it myself.”

“The leader is slow because he is fat, isn’t he?”

“what? Didn’t you see me running? “I am the leader of the Pungcheon Church!”

The Pungcheon religious leader provoked me.

“Two days? If you can get to the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church within two days, I will give you one million nyang. What is it like? Bet a million with me. “You can’t do that, right?”

The head of the Pungcheon Church showed triumphant confidence. He thought it was absolutely impossible.

“Let’s make a bet.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

“Are you really trying to give me money in return for saving my life with Geukpumcheonjamsa? You don’t have to do that. “I have a lot of money.”

“I am grateful, but I cannot afford to give you money. As you know, I have a lot of money now.”

“Okay then, let’s do it! I’ll tell you in advance, I won’t give you a single penny back. “It’s no use telling me to go and die then!”

“This is what I tell you. “You shouldn’t say things like it was medicine money or retirement funds.”

“I have a lot of money! “I am the former leader of Pungcheon Church!”

“great. Upon arrival, I will send you an official letter from our school here. There will be an official date stamped on it, so when you come to our school later, you will be able to check when I arrived.”

“Don’t worry. Is there someone who can confirm the date of your arrival? Don’t forget. “It’s a million nyang, Lee Gongja.”

I smiled and got up from my seat.

“I know very well how hard you two are working for me. I am always grateful. See you later then.”

I was about to turn around when Gowol hinted.

“Congratulations on the million nyang in advance.”

“Thank you.”

A grumbling sound from the Pungcheon religious leader was heard from behind.

“What is he saying now? You should support me! “If it’s like this, even if I get a million nyang from a scientist, I won’t give him a penny!”

After saying goodbye to them, I started running towards the school again.

The more I ran, the more I got used to running and the faster I increased my speed. The faster I ran, the faster I felt, and the more freedom I felt. I also felt a strong desire to achieve greatness.

And two days later, I was writing a mission statement at my school.

[Pungcheon Church Leader, I will use the million nyang well. Thank you as always. Oh, and if you feel regretful, make it a half day one more time…]
