Absolute Regression - Chapter 166

Episode 166 All I need is one word.

The sound of the poisonous insect flapping its wings in Loyalty’s hand heightened the sense of crisis.

It looked like the poisonous insect was going to fly out and bite her at any moment, but I calmly stared at her and said,

“I have a subordinate whom I cherish like my heart. She was abandoned by her parents when she was young. Nevertheless, he grew up very brightly and courageously.”

The poisonous insect’s wings began to flap faster as the strength of Chungui’s fingers gained strength.

“Maybe she had a turning point. “If I had followed a different path at that time, I would have lived an unhappy life full of resentment and revenge toward my parents.”

“Why are you telling me that story?”

“Congressman, you are serving as a guidepost at that turning point.”

“!”

Chung-ui was surprised.

“Did you know?”

“I know about your secret giving.”

I knew why she was revealing money like this.

She was sponsoring numerous abandoned children. Provide them with food, send them to school, and send them to military service. I prepared a way to live like that and sent it out into the world. She was a godmother to orphans who lived her whole life for her children, despite being called a ‘money bugger’.

This fact comes to light after she dies. When I said I would give 500,000 nyang, I was donating the remaining amount, excluding the medical expenses, to the children.

As she was staring at me, she squatted down, ripped off the wings of the poisonous insect, and then tore off the legs one by one and ate them.

“I have become resistant to poison, so I can’t control my addiction with regular medicine. “I’m barely surviving with this poison and poison.”

She massaged her shoulders, arms and legs, as if the pain was severe.

“How did you know about my work?”

I sat down next to her.

“I am the second son of the Heavenly Demon Church leader.”

There is something good about being my father’s son. If he were to become the successor to the Church of the Heavenly Demon, he would do so even if he knew quite a few secrets.

“Then why did you give me more money?”

She wasn’t surprised that I revealed my identity and didn’t even try to impress her. Because of this kind of temperament, he was able to steadfastly devote himself to his children despite being cursed throughout his life.

“Yes, I also added my heart to the old man’s good deeds. To me, you are not a loyal person, but a great doctor.”

Loyalty’s eyes trembled slightly when he heard the word “great righteousness.” Recognition as a representative was the highest praise given to a member of the National Assembly.

“I hid it to avoid being treated like this.”

Chung-ui chewed the poisonous insect he was holding and ate it whole. I frowned as if it was too bitter, but forced myself to swallow it.

She doesn’t want praise, but I think her true feelings are different.

Wouldn’t you like someone to recognize your good deeds at least once? Wouldn’t you like to receive such sincere respect and praise at least once? At least once.

There is something I learned in life before regression. There are times when deep wounds and emotions that have been building up for a very long time are released with just one word.

All you have to do is have someone say that one thing, and you only have to say it once. We don’t hear that one word easily.

Thank you, I’m sorry for your hard work, it’s all thanks to you… All it takes is one word.

Not being able to hear that one word that doesn’t seem to come out causes mental illness. We live with the wounds that can be resolved with just one word for the rest of our lives.

I hope what I just said to her does that. I hope this will be the one word that relieves her difficult life. Wonderful your life.

Chung-ui looked back at me sitting next to him.

I also stared at her and blurted out.

“You’re holding my wrist right now.”

Before I knew it, she was holding my wrist. Of course I could have avoided it, but I didn’t.

“Oh, I’m sorry. “It has become a habit to check the pulse whenever I see a person.”

Even though she said that, she was looking at me. I want to know if what I say is true. I’m trying to judge based on my body’s reaction, not my words. Through small changes in my body, she can feel the pulse and determine whether the other person is telling the truth or lying.

An unmanned person does not give away his Mac without permission. The fact that she didn’t stop me from talking to her is no different from saying, ‘I truly believe in you.’

At that time, Chung-ui, who was examining my body, asked in surprise.

“no way? “Have you achieved great success in the art of strengthening your heavenly veins?”

Indeed, God was God. In this short moment, I realized that I had achieved great success in strengthening my veins. In the past, thanks to the demons who were subordinates of Blood Heavenly Demon, he was able to achieve great success in the art of strengthening his heavenly veins.

“That’s right.”

For the first time since we met, I saw her eyes genuinely shaking. I know. Where did her surprise come from?

* * *

Seo Dae-ryong had a dream.

It was a dream of me being stabbed to death by a sword in Sagang Bimu, let alone making the finals.

Geommugeuk said as he looked down at himself, who was mortally wounded and dying.

“I spent 500,000 nyang, but you die in vain like this? “Isn’t that too much?”

Seo Dae-ryong felt disappointed at the cold response.

“You are the one who went too far. I’m dying. “I’m going to die.”

“Everyone dies. “There are no cases where people die as soon as they receive treatment worth 500,000 nyang.”

Seo Dae-ryong shouted out of spite.

“That’s why I said I wouldn’t do it!”

Seo Dae-ryong woke up screaming. He was startled by the sight before his eyes. As if in a dream, Geommugeuk was looking down at him.

“I told you not to do it too.”

Seo Dae-ryong heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the gentle sword dance look in his eyes, unlike in his dream.

“I dreamed of dying in the Sa River.”

“It’s okay because the dream is the opposite.”

“Mr. Gakju looked at me as I was dying and said that 500,000 nyang was not worth it!”

“Then isn’t it the opposite? “I guess I’ll get lost in the Sa River.”

“Please don’t talk nonsense.”

Seo Dae-ryong tried to get up, but his body did not move.

“uh? “My body doesn’t move.”

Seo Dae-ryong raised his head and looked at his own body. He was surprised. There were needles stuck all over the body.

“I guess my body became paralyzed because I placed the needle incorrectly. “It’s not moving!”

“It was an important needle, and loyalty subdued the demonic blood.”

Only then did Seo Dae-ryong feel relieved.

“sorry. I got hurt for no reason. “Forcing me to spend this much money.”

“Hey, inspector. In times like this, I say this. No, footnote. They told me to go to a martial arts competition for no reason and got hurt like this. It’s too much. “Please fix me even if it costs 5 million nyang instead of 500,000 nyang!”

“Oh, please don’t make me feel even more sorry. Please leave.”

As Geomugeuk turned around to come out, Seo Dae-ryong spoke from behind.

“Honestly, I wanted to be treated. I said no because it was too much money, but in my heart, I thought it would be nice to get treatment and be able to go on stage. So I pretended I couldn’t win and got treatment. “If it had been my money, would I have been treated?”

“I would have received it.”

“Why are you so confident?”

“People who use other people’s money and don’t use it as their own won’t even worry about this in the first place.”

“It could be a camouflage tactic, right? “Trying to pretend to be good until the end.”

“What are you doing by pretending to be nice to me? “Give me just one reason.”

“….”

“See, that’s not true.”

“I think so.”

I left him and went out.

Chung-ui was sitting under the window of the room he had just left, basking in the sunlight. I sat down next to her. Chung-ui asked me if I had heard the conversation in the room.

“Then why are you acting nice to me? “Are you saying that the heir of the Demonic Cult is even worried about the orphans in the central plains?”

While asking a question, Chung-ui grabbed my wrist again.

I expressed my honest feelings about Sungam, which was another turning point in my life.

“As you said, since I am the successor of the Demonic Cult, I am going down a path where I don’t know when I will die. So, wouldn’t it be natural to want to be liked by someone who has the medical skill to bring back even the dead?”

“Is that all?”

“What else could there be?”

She let go of my wrist.

She looked at me for a moment and suddenly held out something. It was a poisonous insect that she had eaten earlier.

“Would you like to try it too? “It’s delicious.”

“If you don’t die after eating it, I will eat it too.”

“Would you like me to not kill you?”

At this moment, I knew that I was standing before another turning point in my life.

“As a member of the National Assembly, there is one thing I have wanted to accomplish throughout my life. But that’s something that can’t even be attempted unless you’re a person with strong veins like you. “It may be dangerous, but it is a test that will be of great help to you if you succeed.”

After thinking for a moment, I nodded.

“I’ll give it a try.”

“Why don’t you ask what the test is?”

Because I know what the test is and I already know the results.

As I brought Seo Dae-ryong with me, I wondered whether this spirit would actually reach me. It was an opportunity that could not be obtained by force. So, I decided to get it if I get it and just let it go if I don’t get it, and now that feeling is reaching me. In that sense, it was Seo Dae-ryong who led me to this opportunity.

“I believe that if the test is given by someone who has lived his or her entire life for orphans, it will at least not be a test that will harm me.”

“Are you stupid? “It could be a ploy to kill the successor of the Demonic Cult.”

“it’s okay. There are other people besides me who will take over the position. “There was a line after that.”

Chung-ui tapped his shoulder while chewing on the poisonous insect he was holding.

“I’m dying from pain. “Please give me a little massage.”

I massaged Chung-ui’s shoulders.

“You seem to have a lot of work to do. Would you like to take on a disciple? “I told him to massage my shoulders too.”

“Who among young kids these days would like poisonous insects? “After a month or two, everyone runs away.”

It seems that there were actually disciples who ran away like that.

“Would you like me to be your disciple?”

“Don’t say anything you don’t mean.”

“Are you okay, Uiseon?”

“what?”

“If the test is successful, won’t the person who will become the successor to the Demonic Cult become stronger?”

“I’ve spent my whole life being criticized anyway, so what’s there to worry about? harder. To the side there. Ah, it’s cool.”

* * *

When Seo Dae-ryong woke up again, all the needles in his body had been removed. I felt as refreshed as when I woke up after a good night’s sleep.

Seo Dae-ryong raised his body and tried to move his arm, but it didn’t hurt at all. It seemed like he wasn’t hurt in the first place. No, I felt like I was in better shape than before I got hurt.

‘How can this be?’

When Seo Dae-ryong came out, Chung-ui was sitting in the yard massaging his arms and legs.

I walked steadily and sat at a distance from her.

“Thank you for treating me, aren’t you?”

“You received 500,000 nyang.”

“You damn bastard. “If I give you money, can you not say thank you?”

“I’ll say it in a bit.”

“Why is this nice-looking guy so grumpy?”

“I heard you look like a bully?”

“Are you writing this because you’re cruel, grumpy, and narrow-minded?”

Then she massaged her arms and legs.

“Why are you hurt?”

“I got hurt catching bugs.”

“Why didn’t you treat me?”

“I am now cured.”

“I heard you were catching some kind of bug and got hurt like this.”

“Stop whining and come and massage my shoulders.”

“I gave you 500,000 nyang, so why are you rubbing my shoulders?”

Although she grumbled with her mouth, Seo Dae-ryong went to her and massaged her shoulders.

“ah! Cool. “You are better than your master.”

“Ever since I was young, I’ve heard a lot that I have spicy hands. “I also massaged my grandmother’s shoulders a lot.”

“Is your shoulder okay?”

“Really, how did that wound heal so smoothly? “You are amazing.”

“I think my endurance has also increased a bit.”

“yes?”

Surprised, Seo Dae-ryong examined his internal strength. The internal strength increased significantly. Compared to similar late-stage indices, what was relatively lacking was internal strength. However, now that I have the same level of strength as them, my biggest weakness has disappeared.

Seo Dae-ryong was so moved that he fell flat on his face.

“You are my benefactor!”

“Not a quack?”

“Is that possible? “God!”

“Thank you only to your master who gave you the money.”

“Since we’re talking about money, please give me a discount.”

“Are you worried that your landlord will become a beggar?”

“My owner has a lot of money, so I’m not worried.”

“then?”

“It’s because it’s too much money for me to pay it all back.”

“Are you going to pay back all this money?”

“I have to pay it back.”

A slight smile appeared on Chung-ui’s lips as he looked at Seo Dae-ryong.

“If you massage your shoulders well, I can give you 10,000 pounds.”

“yes. God! “I’ll even massage your arms.”

Seo Dae-ryong again massaged her shoulders and arms diligently.

“But where is Mr. Gakju?”

“It’s in the barrel over there.”

Seo Dae-ryong was startled. What she pointed to was a barrel full of a strange liquid in the middle of the yard. From the moment it first came out, the smell coming from that container was so disgusting that I could barely stand it.

“You look like you’re not worried?”

“Who cares about whom? Even if everyone in the world is worried, our governors don’t have to worry. If I worry for no reason, I become a strange person. “You probably went in because it was worth it.”

“There was a reason why I wanted to spend 500,000 nyang on you.”

Seo Dae-ryong felt good because it was a compliment to himself.

“Go over there and get that purple container.”

“yes.”

Seo Dae-ryong frowned and came carrying a barrel. The container was also filled with a liquid that gave off a terrible smell.

“You idiot, how precious is that and why are you covering your nose?”

“What is all this?”

“This body has become a rag to catch those guys.”

Chung-ui took it and poured it into the container where the sword dance was locked. As the liquids mixed, bubbles formed.

“How is it easy to hide in there?”

“If you’re that worried, go in instead.”

“I decline.”

Seo Dae-ryong took a huge step back.

“But what kind of experiment is this?”

“I had a wish that I wanted to achieve while studying poisonous insects all my life. “Your master willingly became a test subject for the research. You will either come out dead or transformed.”

For Seo Dae-ryong, the death of Geommugeuk was not at home.

“What do you transform into?”

Then, unexpected and surprising words flowed from Chung-ui’s mouth.

“All poison is imperishable.”
