Absolute Regression - Chapter 202
Episode 202 will be in a few days, right?
“For now, calm down your anger.”
Samseon appeased the sword dance. Even if it was time to kill, I had to calm my excitement for now.
“Can you bear it?”
“Even I wouldn’t have been able to stand it. Still, if you mess up because you’re excited, you won’t be able to get revenge, right? “The other person is…”
I couldn’t bring myself to say anything. I never thought the day would come when I would say out of my own mouth that the other person is a bully.
Geommugeuk clenched his fists, not knowing whether he was aware of those feelings or not.
“You said you considered me like your child. bad guy!”
Samseon had to stop Geommugeuk from doing anything before the other hermits arrived.
“That bad guy should be killed. “I will help you.”
“Why you?”
“Why? “Because he deserves to die.”
Geommugeuk snorted.
“I guess that’s not it. Are you afraid that you might get involved for no reason? don’t worry. “I will never tell you that you bought me poison.”
Instead of saying he borrowed money, he said you bought him poison. Saying I would never say anything actually sounded more dangerous. The sword dance was intentionally getting on his nerves.
Samseon said, ‘I bought you poison? ‘Are you crazy?’ I suppressed the feeling of wanting to scream.
“How are you going to poison the horse?”
“I’m going to poison the alcohol.”
“When is Gwonma coming again?”
“I’ll be back here in five days.”
Five days later! Sam-seon’s heart became anxious. In the meantime, we have to somehow get the immortals to arrive.
“If you interfere for no reason, you too will die. So please leave.”
“If you kill Kwon Ma, will the Demonic Cult leave your house alone? “You will be exterminated.”
“Take it or not. My father couldn’t even complain when something like this happened to his child. “For a place like this, it would be better to be exterminated.”
Samseon had this thought while understanding the anger of the sword dance that was just starting.
‘I touched the wrong crazy guy!’
Still, I couldn’t handle it myself. Judging from the skills he demonstrated in the guesthouse the other day, his opponent was much more advanced than him.
Geomgeuk stood up from his seat.
“Don’t come looking for me again. “If you come again, I will spray that poison on you.”
Geommugeuk left there with threatening words.

A while later, I was watching Samseon leave with Gowol from the rooftop of the building across from the guesthouse.
“A while ago, I confirmed that his subordinate was sending out war letters. Since the matter is serious, all key members of the cooperative community would have been called. According to what I investigated, their leadership consists of four people in total, and Ilseon is the leader.”
Gowol’s intelligence organization was already showing its power. It was a high month that made me feel that the money I spent was definitely worth it.
“Does that mean we only have to deal with the four of them?”
“yes. Among them, Il-seon is the mastermind. This guy is very suspicious and doesn’t show himself easily. “Since Madam Kwon is involved in this matter, she will have no choice but to show herself.”
“This is why everyone has soldiers. “It’s so comfortable and nice.”
“It is very difficult for a soldier to have a leader who is smarter than himself.”
“You must be mistaken. “The only thing I’m good at is Abusingong.”
After a moment, Gowol spoke.
“Thanks to you, I worked things out with the religious leader.”
Geommugeuk looked at his face. He seemed much more comfortable than when he first asked me to be the leader.
I thought Gowol was really great at sword dance. How could he be so kind to the Pungcheon religious leader who held him so captive? Although I don’t know what kind of relationship they had in their past lives, I felt once again that the relationship between the two was truly deep.
“The religious leader was worried about you. I heard you’re having a hard time these days. “Take care of the soldiers and not yourself.”
“I’m fine.”
“What’s okay? “They say that everyone who needs help starts by saying they are okay.”
When Gowol looked at him with an expression asking where he heard that, Geommugeuk revealed his honest feelings.
“Go soldier, I’m not okay. Dealing with mazons, fighting for succession, acting in front of these trash people, Shin Seon-chae, it’s so hard and tiring. But just saying this makes me feel better. So, tell the soldier too. If it’s hard, it’s hard. If you’re tired, you’re tired. Because I’m listening.”
Gowol smiled meaningfully. He said to the Pungcheon religious leader. It’s hard. I mean, if you too are having a hard time, say this. Now, Geommugeuk is doing that for himself.
Gowol raised his head and looked up at the sky. I felt better even without saying anything.
* * *
Among us, the one who had the hardest time was Gwonma.
“…That’s why Madam Kwon became a villain. “I’m sorry for not being able to tell you in advance because the situation was urgent.”
When I finished explaining the situation, Gwonma got angry.
“He’s not just a villain… he’s a shameless lecher, right?”
“You have to commit this level of evil to have the motivation to use poison to kill someone.”
“There are many other reasons, right? “He personally insulted me or killed a subordinate he cared about!”
“But I don’t think it could be more stimulating than this.”
“It’s obscene!”
Since he was a champion who had never had any problems with women, it was natural for him to jump up and down.
Gwonma brought his face close to Geommugeuk.
“Is this your idea? Or are you thinking of a soldier who can’t play baduk?”
“Of course, that’s my military opinion. Don’t hold back and go…”
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm.
A growling sound was heard from the horse’s clenched fist. It was the sound of a typhoon approaching in the distance.
“It’s your doing. How could your soldiers dare to do that?”
“As expected, you are smart. “Of course it was my idea.”
“Why did you turn me into a slut?”
“Because it’s one of the strongest reasons to want to kill someone. Maybe that’s why they have no doubts about my murderous intentions.”
“But I just hate being misunderstood.”
“Master. I said this to people who are going to die soon anyway, so you don’t have to worry about it. There is no need for words to flow anywhere else.”
At that time, Gwonma suddenly had a question.
“But did he believe that?”
What he expected was ‘Could it be possible for Gwonma to do that?’ It might have been.
“yes. “I thought you trusted me too much?”
“You believed it all at once? What’s his name? “What’s your name?”
Geommugeuk smiled and said to Gwonma, who was getting angry at the guys for no reason.
“It will be over in just a few days anyway. “Those few days will be the most valuable days of your life, Master.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because the name Gwonma was mentioned, their leaders will move. As a result, many young people under their spell will escape despair and death. If you count the people who will be harmed by them in the future, there will be hundreds or thousands of people. “Master will save all of those people.”
“What kind of righteousness do I have? “You’ll be happy that I saved someone’s life?”
“Then, for the sake of my disciple who likes saving people, please live as a demon for a few days.”
Gwonma stared at the sword dance and then turned around, still exuding a dark aura.
“It’s a long few days!”
* * *
Four days later, the first person to arrive was Sa-seon.
“What on earth are you making such a fuss about? “Has there been a war?”
Samseon was the older brother, but the two were like friends.
When Samseon saw Saseon, a martial arts expert, he felt his nervous mind relax.
Samseon told Saseon in detail what happened.
“So that crazy guy is going to poison Gwonma? What’s the problem with that? Even if I kill him, he still kills me, right?”
“The problem is that the poison was bought with money borrowed from us.”
“Why is that? “They’re even investigating who bought the poison with the demonic cult’s money?”
“If it’s an ordinary poison and an ordinary target, I’m not worried. This is a problem that will end with this guy finding poison and killing him. The problem is that I bought something intangible. How did you buy that expensive intangible damn thing? And the dead person is Gwon Ma. Then, of course, you will start to suspect whether there is someone behind it. If we dig deep, our existence will eventually be revealed. Do you think the Demon Cult will just leave us alone?”
Only then did Saseondo understand the seriousness of the situation.
“When is Gwonma coming?”
“tomorrow.”
“Then we only have time today. “What about Jeong Jeong-mun’s son?”
“I’m drinking at a bar right now.”
“Let’s go ahead.”
When Sa-seon tried to go straight away, Sam-seon stopped him.
“If you just kill him in a bar, his father will investigate his son’s death. Eventually, the Demonic Cult will intervene. Then we become more dangerous.”
“Then what should we do?”
Samseon suggested one method.
“We are kidnapping him and making him missing. I’m just going to treat it as if he got discouraged by his fiancee’s situation and went off somewhere. “Before we kill him and melt him into Hwagol Mountain, let him leave at least a brief letter.”
The firing line also agreed with that opinion.
“good idea.”
* * *
An hour after Samseon and Saseon waited in front of the tavern, Geommugeuk staggered out of the tavern.
When he entered a deserted place, three lines appeared in front of him. The drunk Geomugeuk let out a tongue-curling sound.
“you! “I said if you show up in front of me again, I’ll kill you, right?”
“Look, I came because I have something to tell you.”
Geommugeuk didn’t even notice the firing squad approaching behind him.
“What can I say! You must have come to stop me again. What a coward you are. I’m not scared! Tomorrow….”
Saseon subdued the demonic and evil blood of the sword dance.
I couldn’t even avoid the sword dance that I was talking about and ended up getting hit.
The three lines and four lines ran with their arms linked on both sides.
The two arrived in a deserted forest.
It was only when we arrived there that we were able to release the pain from Geommugeuk.
“what? do you want to die?”
The drunken sword dance seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Samseon handed Geommugeuk the paper and brush he had prepared and the pre-grinded ink.
“From now on, write down whatever I call you.”
“what? This?”
“Father, Soja, I will leave for a while and come back.”
Geommugeuk tried to write with drunken eyes, but soon put down the brush.
“You bastard! “Are you trying to kill me by doing less of this?”
It was right then.
I heard someone talking behind me.
“You idiots!”
The expressions of Samseon and Saseon brightened.
Il-seon and Lee-seon walked in there. The front line had already arrived, but they were watching how things were going. It was revealed like this because it was judged to be a safe situation.
“I was so angry at my father that I left, so why did I leave a note? “That’s even weirder.”
Sam-seon exclaimed in admiration at Il-seon’s words.
“also! It’s large. “You think differently than we do!”
Il-seon approached Geommugeuk. He was a truly evil man whose true nature was clearly visible on his face, and his eyes were as cold as a snake.
“This insignificant guy is what caused this mess.”
He, who was glaring at Sword Dance, stood up and said.
“Bury him alive.”
The goal is to inflict the fear and pain of being buried alive.
At that time, Geomgeuk grinned. The gloomy and dark look that had been portrayed until now disappeared and became the original expression of sword dance.
Sam-seon, who was watching, was startled by the change in his expression, making him look like a different person.
‘Really, this crazy guy scares people until they die.’
At that time, Geommugeuk asked Il-seon.
“Did this come from your head? “You don’t look that smart.”
The front line’s expression hardened.
The other three just watched this situation. They knew very well that the angrier the front line, the more things to see. Of course, sometimes things happened that I was afraid of appearing in my dreams.
“Who’s behind you? “Who paid for it?”
Geommugeuk looked at the other immortals.
“Didn’t you guys also tell this? “Did you come together without that much trust?”
At that moment, Ilseon noticed. Before I knew it, the tongue-twisting sound of the sword dance had disappeared.
“you? “You’re not drunk.”
“I woke up. “It sobers me up to hear that they are being buried alive.”
The words he spoke were as relaxed as his facial expressions during the sword dance.
Il-seon looked around with an inexplicable sense of discomfort. I suspected there might be an ambush, but I couldn’t feel anything around me.
Samseon stepped forward instead.
“Never mind. “He was always crazy.”
I thought I should kill him quickly and be done with it. Since it was his own decision to lend 100,000 nyang to Geommugeuk in the first place, it would have been a wise choice to finish it before that crazy guy angers Il-seon even more.
“I will handle it and ask.”
Geommugeuk asked as he watched him take out the dagger from his arms.
“You said you were investing in my youth?”
“I guess I misheard. “It meant investing in my youth.”
Samsun openly laughed. This was the best time for him. This moment that takes the other person’s breath away. This moment when you realize you have been betrayed and look at you with resentment. Of course, right now this crazy guy isn’t giving me the look he wants.
“It was frustrating, but it was a special experience. “I will remember it forever.”
“I’m going to erase all your memories from today.”
“bye! “You crazy person!”
It was just when he was about to slit Geommugeuk’s neck with a dagger. A cold chill spread across Samseon’s spine, sending a shiver down his spine. He was not the only one who felt the chill taking over his surroundings. Saseon drew his sword and looked around.
A person was walking there.
The elongated moon shadow was larger and wider than an average person. The person who approached me with a frosty prayer showing how I was feeling right now was Gwonma.
The four people who checked the other person were surprised. The front line, which seemed ruthless compared to the man who appeared, had a baby face.
At that time, I heard an unknown sword dance coming from behind me.
“He’s very angry now because you all believed him without question.”
Geommugeuk, who thought the demon blood had been subdued, stood up and dusted off his clothes. He smiled and asked Gwonma.
“A few days soon, right?”
Gwonma stood in front of them with a blank, sleepy face.
“It’s been an eon for me!”
