Absolute Regression - Chapter 298

Episode 298 You guys! This person here.

Ho-gyeong, head of the Gangseo Branch of the Heavenly Demon Church, was looking through the documents piled up on his desk one by one.

The most important thing Hokyung did during the day was carefully reviewing reports from each branch.

At that time, Demon Sword Lord Jungak visited his office.

“Are you busy?”

“Welcome, what are you doing without a message?”

“I stopped by because I wanted to see Danju.”

“Welcome.”

One side was prying and the other side knew it, but they greeted each other more warmly than usual.

Jungak said while looking at the pile of documents on his desk.

“That’s why there was so much resentment.”

“What do you mean?”

“There are complaints that the people working below are having a hard time because Danju handles his work so meticulously. Please take care of the morale of your subordinates.”

Jungak smiled and said it as if it were a joke, and Hogyeong answered calmly.

“Isn’t the reason most people get angry is because they can’t pay attention to small things?”

“As long as our Lord Dan is here, those bastards from the Apostolic Alliance will not even dare to provoke.”

“Is that because of me? “It’s thanks to our great lord and the Demon Swordsman.”

The gazes of the two people intertwined in midair. Both of their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were not smiling.

“Have you heard any rumors about someone going around impersonating our school these days?”

“I heard it too. “I have given an order to investigate the matter.”

“I also looked into it and it seems to be true and not just a rumor.”

Ho-kyung’s expression suddenly became serious. Impersonating Protestants was an issue that the headquarters also considered very important.

“Do you know who he is?”

“I don’t know his identity, but there is someone who can approach him.”

“If you give me the information, I will send my men to capture you.”

“You don’t think it’s that easy. “They say he is quite an expert.”

Ho-kyung made an expression that he couldn’t understand.

“A master like that is impersonating our school? “It’s strange.”

“We will find out if we catch him and investigate. But can Zidane handle it?”

It was a clever way of speaking that touched Hogyeong’s pride. If you can’t handle it, we’ll figure it out.

“We will handle it.”

It was not because he was tempted by provocation, but it was a matter that he, the original owner of the Gangseo District, had to solve. If you can’t solve it at the local level, you have to ask for help from the Magic Swordsman.

“Your subordinates may be in danger.”

This was the reason why Jungak visited today. I’m afraid he might not step forward and just send his subordinates to deal with it.

“I will move with my subordinates myself.”

“Ah, I am relieved only if Danju moves it himself.”

Jungak thought to himself.

‘It’s your weakness. That vain pride.’

If it were me, I would have answered like this. Isn’t there a magic sword squad to handle such dangerous tasks?

“Then I will try to attract him through my secret service.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Jungak, who was about to go out, smiled and added.

“Why don’t you have a drink when you’re done with this?”

“great.”

Ho-kyung also said goodbye to Jung-ak with a good face.

‘That drinking party will be your last.’

I received information that Jung-Ak is taking bribes. If it happened once or twice, I might have turned a blind eye to it. Because it was an important elite organization that was essential to the Gangseo region.

However, there were too many places where rebates were received on a regular basis. The amount was too big. To what extent do you close your eyes? It felt like this. I committed fraud. so? So what? So are you going to cut me?

‘I’ll cut off your hair.’

Jungak, who turned around and left, was thinking the same thing. The only difference was the real neck.

“We have finally decided to move from the Demonic Cult.”

Jooyang was startled by Jeokpae’s words.

I should have felt relieved that Geommugeuk had died, but I wasn’t.

“You bring him to the abandoned temple in the west tomorrow. “Can you do it?”

“You can. But am I okay?”

“I told you well, they will take care of you when you get there.”

“All right.”

“If we make a mistake, we all die. “Keep this in mind!”

That night, Zhou Yang had a dream.

It was a dream of lying in the sea and floating. I was floating happily in the warm sun.

Suddenly, when I imagined that the sword dance was being hacked to pieces by demons, my body became tense and I began to sink.

I struggled and fell out of bed and couldn’t fall asleep until morning.

* * *

When Joo Yang visited the sword dance, he was meeting someone in the guesthouse.

It was the first time he had seen them together in this guesthouse, so Zhou Yang looked at them closely. The man on the other end handed something that looked like a letter to Geommugeuk.

Geommugeuk studied the contents carefully and said a few words to the other person. At times like this, he looked so serious that he really looked like he was the leader of a demonic cult.

The person who handed over the letter left the room. Zhou Yang, who was standing at the entrance, glanced at the man passing by. He was an ordinary person commonly seen around him.

Joo Yang approached Geommugeuk and asked.

“Who is that person?”

“I am a person from Tongcheon Pavilion.”

“Tongcheongak?”

“It is the best intelligence organization of the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“You’re bluffing as soon as we meet again!”

Even though Zhou Yang shook his head, he couldn’t help but ask.

“so? “What on earth did you talk about with that top informant?”

“I learned about the Gangseo District. “I will look into Jidanju and Demon Sword Master.”

When the two people were mentioned, Zhou Yang flinched.

“If it’s true, let me take a look at the letter.”

Geommugeuk held out a hand holding a letter. The moment Jooyang was about to receive it.

Grumbling.

The book burned down as flames rose from the hands of Geommugeuk.

“If you see our school’s secrets, you won’t survive.”

Surprised, Zhou Yang stared blankly at the paper turning to ash and flying away. I’ve heard of it. It is said that real experts burn paper like this through samadhi evolution.

“Do you believe my true identity now?”

I expected a yes answer.

“Why are you so crazy when you stick to it like this?”

Geommugeuk laughed, stirring the flying ash here and there.

“If I want you to believe me, I will have to line up the mazons behind me.”

Zhou Yang looked at the sword dance in silence.

‘There won’t be a chance. Because today you die.’

Geommugeuk also looked at Joo Yang and asked.

“It looks like you didn’t sleep well. “Do you have any concerns?”

Now, Joo Yang was not surprised at the sword dance that he guessed like a ghost.

“I have a place to go with you today.”

“let’s go.”

When Geommugeuk willingly followed, Juyang was rather embarrassed.

“Are you asking me to know where you’re going?”

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

“What if I set a trap? Are you ignoring me? “Your traps are nothing?”

“That’s not why. If you kill me, won’t you get my interest? “Aren’t you the one who takes the money, not the one who takes the life?”

Jooyang shook his head at the unexpected answer.

“If you really can’t talk.”

Jooyang walked in front, and Geomgeuk followed behind.

Zhou Yang’s mind was complicated. My relationship with this strange person will end in just a little while. From now on, I will never see this crazy guy again.

Jooyang glanced back at the sword dance. Not knowing that he was going to die, he was following along leisurely, watching the people going about their business.

“I think that outfit over there will look good on you. “Would you like to buy me a pair?”

“Repay the interest with that money. shit! “Stop talking nonsense and just follow me.”

Why am I so nervous? The reason was simple. He doesn’t want to kill Geommugeuk. What is so pitiful about that guy who is laughing so hard!

Zhou Yang suddenly remembered a coin. The coin that was placed in the palm of your hand. Yes, it must be a feeling that comes from gratitude for not damaging one’s hand.

As we left the street and reached the fork in the road, Jooyang stopped and sat down on a rock by the side of the road.

“Let’s take a rest.”

“You should also do some physical training. “That’s how my body looks when I’m sitting there counting money.”

Geommugeuk sat next to him.

After sitting in silence for a while, Joo Yang suddenly asked.

“If you really are Demonic Cult Sogyoju… what on earth are you doing here?”

After a moment, Geomugeuk spoke.

“As you can see, I am meeting people. “I met a coachman who was held captive by you for the rest of his life because of the ten nyang I borrowed to pay for his child’s medical treatment, I met you who stuck a tube in that person and sucked his blood, and I met an unknown charlatan who jumped over a wall to save that person.”

While listening to those words, Zhou Yang’s heart began to tremble. This is not something that will make your heart tremble, but when you watch a sword dance performance, you often experience this kind of heart-trembling experience.

“Why is Mine trying to correct Yan Wangcai? Even those in political factions are watching. “You are a demon!”

“Among the jeongpa people, there may be people who are suspicious of people, and among the magic people, there may be people who say they can’t see that kind of thing. Isn’t it something like that? And anyway, Yeomwangchae’s work is yours to handle from now on, not mine.”

“How can someone like me do something like that? As you said, it’s a life of sitting around counting money and enjoying watching others become unhappy. “How can you do such a grand task?”

“It’s not a big deal. “It’s normal.”

Geommugeuk calmly stared at him.

“If you have lived a life like a song chung, now try living a life like flying. “Even if you can’t be a butterfly, you can still be a moth, right?”

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt that he really wished he was the leader of the Demonic Cult. So I thought that even if it was a punishment given to me, I wanted to live a new life. It’s an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime.

That made me even more angry. Because he was not the leader of the Demonic Cult. The leader of the Demonic Cult would not say something like this in front of a mere loan shark.

“I don’t want to hear that crazy talk anymore! “Leave here this way!”

Zhou Yang’s voice trembled.

“Please leave this way and never come to Jiangxi again. “If you come back, you’ll die.”

Jooyang decided to save this crazy expert.

I have never once in my life lived for others. It was a life he lived selfishly only for himself. I don’t know why the object of the favor I only show once is this crazy guy, but what can I do if I feel like it?

“People are waiting to kill you. So go. They’ll say that you realized it was a trap and ran away. “I don’t know if you will believe me.”

Have you ever taken a risk like this for someone else? Absolutely not.

“Why are you telling me?”

“I think it’s because it’s my first time seeing someone as strangely crazy as you.”

Then Geommugeuk spoke as if he knew the reason.

“That’s probably not why.”

Geommugeuk was looking deep into Jooyang’s heart.

“That’s because you are a very selfish person but have strong survival skills. Your instincts know. “This is how you live.”

“You really are! Even if you do them a favor! “The real demons are waiting!”

“I know.”

“You know?”

“Didn’t you see me receiving the report earlier? “I am currently keeping a close eye on the movements of the Gangseo District.”

Zhou Yang now raised both hands and feet.

“yes. This is how crazy he really is. “You’re perfect.”

“And if you go alone, you’ll die.”

Geommugeuk got up first and took a step forward. For some reason, those words sounded eerie, so Joo Yang followed him in silence.

‘I don’t know anymore.’

Up to this point, it was an unreasonable favor. Someday I will look back on today. At that time, that crazy guy was the only person I wanted to save in my life. This is probably how the flashback begins.

So the two arrived at the temple, the meeting place.

As they entered the front yard of the temple, dozens of Gangseojidan demons who had been ambushed appeared. They all pulled out their swords and revealed their demonic energy.

Jidanju Ho-gyeong walked out from among the demons.

“For what reason did you go around pretending to be a demon?”

Hogyeong did not recognize the sword dance. I’ve met him before, but it was a long time ago when I was a child of sword dance. Afterwards, Hogyeong traveled to various districts in the midfield, so he did not have a chance to see the sword dance again.

“I have never impersonated you.”

Ho-kyung’s expression turned cold.

“There are already witnesses.”

Hogyeong looked at Joo Yang, who was with Geommugeuk, and said.

“Did the author impersonate our school?”

Jooyang was taken aback by the cold question. It wasn’t the situation I expected. Jeokpae was like that. He said he would take care of it when he arrived.

Whether it was the question or the flying demon, I couldn’t feel any consideration for myself anywhere. I just saw him as a colleague of someone pretending to be a demon.

‘Damn it!’

The target of anger was the enemy defeat. He didn’t take care of himself. Perhaps, seeing this sword dance so closely aligned, I might have just wished they would die together.

“You stay right behind me. “Wouldn’t it be unfair if you got hit by a blind sword?”

The only person here who cared about him was Geomdugeuk.

“I asked if the person impersonating our school was the author!”

When Hogyeong asked again, Jooyang spoke to Geommugeuk instead of answering.

“That’s not the person who colluded with the power station.”

At those words, even Ho-kyung tensed and waited for his words.

“The person who colluded with the power station was…”

That was right then.

Someone flew in from over the roof and landed.

He was none other than the Demon Sword Master Jungak. Demonic swordsmen appeared on the roof and walls of the building. Even Ho-kyung was surprised by his sudden appearance, but Jung-ak shed cold magical energy and focused on Joo-yang.

“Who is the demon who colluded with the power station?”

The moment Jooyang reveals that he is a serious evil, he will inevitably die. No, even if I don’t reveal it here, I had a premonition that I would eventually die.

At that time, when Geommugeuk was terrified, he took out two coins from his pocket and held them out to him.

“Now that I think about it, you didn’t pay today’s interest. “Take it.”

Two coins were placed on Zhou Yang’s palm.

Joo Yang, who was looking down at it in silence, handed the coin back to Geommugeuk.

“The interest is too much. Even with the interest already paid, I still have more than enough to repay the principal.”

Geommugeuk smiled broadly at him.

Joo Yang displayed all the courage he had accumulated throughout his life, including all the courage he would show until his death.

“The person who accepted a bribe from Jeokpae, the head of the Electric Power Station, and offered to kill you is that person, Demon Sword Master.”

Cold demonic energy gushed out from Jungak’s body. At the same time, the demons of the demon sword belt surrounding the place also radiated demonic energy.

You’re going to die anyway! Zhou Yang shouted at the top of her voice like a runaway carriage.

“You guys! This person here is the small sect leader of the Heavenly Demon God Church! Everyone, kneel down and worship!”

Ah, I am dying like this crazy person!
