Absolute Regression - Chapter 78

The 78th group is crazy.

Jangho is not the type of person to take action.

However, I did not like the attitude of the shackled man who dared to talk arrogantly about being his right hand man.

The first thing he noticed was that the man in shackles was here today.

-Maybe it’s because of that shackled man that we came today.

So, I even sent a message to Ian and Seo Dae-ryong.

Ian took courageous action and Seo Dae-ryong also moved.

Jang-ho, who had extensive experience in combat, instinctively realized that this was a battlefield where an invisible fight would continue.

At Jang-ho’s words, the shackled man raised his head and stared at Jang-ho. The large scar on Jangho’s face twitched.

The shackled man said to Jangho.

“Why are you obsessed with your right arm? “If it were me, I would watch the right arm fight while the left arm fights.”

“I don’t have the hobby of enjoying other people’s fights. “I aimed to become the right-hand man, so I will try to become the right-hand man.”

“Be a man.”

“Thank you.”

The leader of Pungcheon, who had been watching until then, sent a message to the shackled man.

-Are you manly? Damn it. When did you say that?

-That’s because you don’t know much about me. I am a person who can say all kinds of things. He is a person who jokes and jokes.

-shit! Why would you say something like that in this situation?

-The leader started first.

-Let’s say that’s true. But is this a ploy by these people to rush to you and tell you what to do?

-Can’t you see it? Everyone is working hard for their leader, right?

-Cowardly! I’m alone.

-What did you usually do? How many subordinates does the religious leader have?

-so? Gongja Lee is the kind of leader who cares more about his subordinates?

-Even if it goes to a scientist, it will be for reasons that have nothing to do with them. The same is true even if a hundred people come and praise the scholar. So they don’t have to worry.

-Then why are you going?

But the man in shackles did not tell me the reason.

The leader of Pungcheon Church said to Geommugeuk.

“Gongja Lee has good subordinates.”

“There must be more good Suhaya religious leaders.”

“No. I am a lonely person. “There is no one who understands me except that person over there.”

“Having someone who understands you is a great blessing in life.”

“I hope that fortune will stay by my side for a long time.”

Geommugeuk did not say whether the shackles should be removed in that case. This is because he knows very well that pushing him by mentioning shackles is actually a disadvantageous choice for him.

“Here, take my drink.”

The leader of Pungcheon poured drinks and shared his inner skills. Using your energy without breaking the glass is a technique that only true experts can use, and if you don’t have as much energy as you, you will never be able to drink to the end.

Rumbling.

However, Geommugeuk’s expression did not change at all until the drink was filled.

The leader of Pungcheon was deeply surprised.

‘no way? Are you surpassing my strength? No way!’

Compared to the person who was in shock, Geommugeuk’s expression was gentle. He took the drink, drank it, and held out the glass.

“This time, please take my drink.”

The expression of the leader of the Pungcheon Church hardened. If you don’t receive the glass of sword dance, you will be embarrassed in front of so many people.

But given the momentum, I had no choice but to accept it.

“Good. “Let’s get the Ascending Dragon’s drink.”

The head of Pungcheon received the drink.

This time too, the falling liquor was loaded with energy. The head of Pungcheon took the alcohol calmly. It was enough endurance to withstand it.

“The drink tastes very good.”

“Let’s drink until we get drunk today.”

“Good.”

The head of the Pungcheon Church triumphantly sent a message to the shackled man.

-Did you see it? Receiving a drink filled with Lee Gongja’s inner strength? It was nothing special.

-Gongja Lee saved the face of the religious leader. Although he may not have been willing to do so, the reason he followed along with his inner strength was because he was afraid that the religious leader would be embarrassed if he just followed the leader’s inner strength. So I didn’t put all my effort into it.

-…

In fact, this was what the leader of Pungcheon felt before anyone else. We exchanged energy with our bodies, so how could he not know? By trying to show off to the shackled man for no reason, he revealed his true worth.

-Don’t be discouraged. Because I know very well that the leader is this kind of person.

-I feel more discouraged because of you. I’m actually a better person than this, but I keep making mistakes.

-I understand that too.

Geommugeuk noticed that the leader of Pungcheon was sharing a secret message with the shackled man.

But I pretended not to know and was drinking. At this time, the electric sound of the Hyeolcheon Doma flew through.

-Why didn’t you embarrass me?

-If your pride is hurt, things will get worse.

-You should have shown it when you had the chance. It should have been trampled properly. The human mind operates in a simpler place than one might think.

-That person must have seen something more important than that.

-Isn’t that too overestimating?

-Maybe so.

The drinking party continued again.

Geommugeuk drank alcohol and had a calm conversation with the leader of the Pungcheon Church, but refrained from saying or doing anything that attacked him. His strategy was not to attack Pungcheon Bridge.

Geommugeuk focused on why he came here today. For showing his people to the man in shackles.

“Investigator Seo. How is your martial arts training going these days?”

“It’s hard, but I’m working hard.”

Then, Hyeolcheon Doma intervened.

“It’s hard?”

“No, it’s not difficult.”

“okay? “I need to increase my training.”

“No, it’s so hard to die.”

Geommugeuk laughed and joined the conversation between the two.

“It must be as hard to please the elderly as it is to please my father.”

“Master, it’s not that difficult.”

“You’re calling me Master again.”

Hyeolcheondoma bluntly reprimanded Seo Dae-ryong. Seo Dae-ryong confidently spoke as if it was not a mistake.

“Although he did not make me his formal disciple, I consider him my teacher. Even if you kick me out tomorrow, I will always remember you as Master.”

“Who can remember?”

“Do you not allow me to remember things as I please?”

The person who helped in rebuking Geommugeuk was Ilhwa Geomzon.

“That’s the kind of person he is.”

Hyeolcheondoma was not offended by her words.

“Are you saying you really know me?”

“Smartly. “I really don’t want to remember.”

The two people fought a war of nerves without raising their voices.

The sword dance performance did not stop them. The purpose of today’s visit was to show it as it is. The problem is that it is presented too literally.

Geommugeuk poured them drinks without saying a word.

Ilhwageomjon fiddled with his drinking glass and Hyeolcheondoma immediately emptied his drinking glass.

The leader of the Pungcheon Church looked at this with somewhat unfamiliar emotions. It seems he didn’t know that the Mazons would have an emotional fight in front of him.

The leader of Pungcheon Church sent a message to the shackled man and asked:

-What on earth is this scheme to do? What is your intention?

-You knew that those two people had a bad relationship, right?

-But you show your emotions like that and fight in front of me? Those sly snakes? That can’t be possible. What are those things?

-It’s probably not because it’s in front of the religious leader.

-!

The Pungcheon religious leader bit his lip and looked at the sword dance and the two mazons.

They sat across from the sword dance as if they were two wings, showing their emotions to their heart’s content without any regard for themselves.

Even that sight seemed like a burden to the leader of Pungcheon Church. The loneliness of standing alone on a remote rocky island swept over me.

‘It can’t go on like this!’

When I first started this position, I felt like I could face the sword dance with great vigor. It seemed like he could create some kind of great twist…

But the reality was that he was pushed out in momentum, he was pushed out in strength, he was pushed out in magnanimity, and on top of that, the guys who came with him acted differently than he expected.

The woman suddenly offered the man in shackles a drink, and the small, gloomy bastard came forward to fight back, and the demon lord uncharacteristically coveted the position of her right arm. And now the two mazons were having an emotional fight with each other.

‘These people are collectively crazy.’

The leader of Pungcheon was in all sorts of troubles. Part of me wanted to throw the table over and scream.

-You bastards! Isn’t it all turned off? These people know who I am and come in droves to tell me! Are you willing to go to war with the Saeroe Forest? If you want to attack me, then attack everyone!

But I couldn’t. If there had been such distribution, this moment would not have come.

The Pungcheon religious leader did not give up until the end.

He poured a drink for Geommugeuk and spoke cheerfully.

“Our school will provide generous support to help you become the next Cheonma.”

“thank you. I will also actively help Pungcheon Bridge advance into the central region.”

“This time, with your help, my student became a mazon. “You didn’t want anything in return for it, but I’m going to give it to you.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church showed that he no longer valued the sacred item. He wants to show that he has changed in front of the shackled man. This is to show the will to change. That I will never be a narrow-minded and greedy person.

“evenly.”

“Are you really going to give me what I want?”

“I see. “I would give you anything in this room.”

Everyone looked at the sword dance performance, waiting to see what they would choose.

Eventually, Geommugeuk spoke to the leader of Pungcheon. Words that no one present could have imagined came out of his mouth.

“Give me those shackles.”

Everyone was surprised to hear that he wanted shackles.

Among them, the surprise of the leader of the Pungcheon Church was an expected surprise, ‘It has finally come.’

That made me even more angry.

‘How dare you make demands like this even though I said I was your right hand man?’

The leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke firmly with cold eyes.

“I can never give that to you.”

But he misunderstood the demands of the sword dance.

“I’m not trying to appease people. “I asked for shackles made of age-old iron.”

The leader of Pungcheon was surprised. It was truly unexpected.

“What are the shackles for?”

“If there’s someone who doesn’t listen, I’m going to tie them up.”

He said it like a joke and looked at Seo Dae-ryong.

Seo Dae-ryong pouted his mouth and said.

“Shackles are placed on someone who is obedient. You shouldn’t tie up someone who doesn’t listen like me! “The big troubles will happen then.”

He said it as a joke, but the leader of Pungcheon was shocked. It was a problem I had never thought about.

At that time, Geommugeuk revealed to the leader of Pungcheon the original purpose of wanting the shackles.

“I want to make something more valuable by melting all those years of iron. “It would be difficult to find a treasure like this, even among new items.”

They were able to tie the man up with another set of shackles anyway. So this request was a symbolic request. I was expressing my desire to set him free.

“So give me those shackles.”

The leader of Pungcheon was troubled.

‘What should I do?’

In times like this, it would be nice if the shackled man sent a message.

‘It’s about taking off my shackles, but there’s no way I’m sending a message.’

At that time, the shackled man sent a message.

-Reject.

-what?

-This is a request that should not be accepted for the sake of the religious leader.

-Why are you telling me?

-You want it to be fair?

The leader of the Pungcheon Church sighed without realizing it. I didn’t know that Geommugeuk would ask for shackles or that the man with shackles would send a telegram.

‘Everyone is smarter than me, so I can’t keep up with my brain.’

I thought I could do really well… The difference between ideals and reality was so great that I despaired.

The leader of Pungcheon was conscious of the gaze directed at him.

“You have to keep your promise.”

It wasn’t about pride or respect. The reason was that the shackled man would look cooler if he was released at this time.

The head of Pungcheon took out the key attached to the necklace. Then he slowly walked over and took off the man’s shackles. They didn’t say anything during the process. They didn’t even exchange words. They just removed the shackles and the man just watched.

Clang.

The leader of Pungcheon brought the shackles and key and placed them in front of me.

“Take it.”

“thank you.”

The shackled man was sitting there in the same position with his head down.

Geomgeuk asked the shackled man.

“Is there anything you would like to melt into this?”

Everyone’s surprised gaze was focused on the sword dance.

I didn’t know that I would return the thing that had been melted for a thousand years to the shackled man.

The head of the Pungcheon Church felt dizzy and closed his eyes tightly.

It occurred to me that the only thing I could do against them was to turn the tables on them.
