Absolute Regression - Chapter 95

Episode 95 That’s it.

The air around me became heavy and stuffy due to my provocation. The demonic energy that flowed from the body of Extreme Evil Soma took control of the surroundings.

His magic energy was special. The reason why it was given the nickname of extreme evil was precisely because of this evil energy called the evil spirit.

Soaksim awakened the fundamental violence of humans.

When you are exposed to small evil mind, your heart beats violently and you want to kill someone. In fact, if his strength was weak, he would pull out his sword and stab the person next to him to death.

Experts with high resistance also find it difficult to fight normally due to the influence of their evil spirit.

“There are two faces inside this mask. If Lee Gong-ja wakes up with a face other than the one I’ve seen so far, even I won’t be able to handle it. So it’s hard to take off the mask.”

If the face I’ve seen so far is Soma, then the other faces would represent extreme evil.

“I didn’t mean to be rude to Soma. However, I think that a friend should be able to see two or three faces without fault. “I said this out of curiosity, so please forgive me if I was rude.”

Even before my regression, I was exposed to this small evil mentality. At that time, I had not learned the Cheonma Self-Defense Technique, so I had a really hard time enduring it.

But it was different now.

Naturally, the Heavenly Demon Self-Defense Technique was activated and blocked his evil spirit. Although my Heavenly Demon Defense Technique has not yet reached its peak, I have reached a level where I can easily block the evil spirit that is being unleashed.

Instead of increasing his evil spirit even more, Extreme Evil Soma slowly withdrew his demonic energy. The smiling eyes in the eye sockets gradually turned cold. The fact that he stopped laughing means that he has calmed down his anger.

“As expected, the scientist is amazing. “It doesn’t seem at all disturbed by my small-mindedness.”

“I was trained to have an evil mind and read my mind from a young age. You know, right? “My brother was at least as harsh on me.”

Extreme Soma laughed out loud. As if I had never created such tension, he was back to the way he was when I first saw him.

“As expected, Gongja Lee is an interesting person. “It’s too bad we couldn’t become friends.”

“Then I’ll just leave.”

As I was about to open the door and go out, Extreme Soma spoke.

“As expected, I believe that Gongja Lee killed the former Soul Mazon.”

“You misunderstand.”

I did not deny it outright. This tension between him and me was the most important factor in maintaining my relationship with him.

As the door closed, I could see Extreme Soma left alone in the white room.

I met Seo Dae-ryong at the entrance of Akingok.

“Investigator Seo, what are you doing here?”

“I’m in training. “I was running for physical training.”

“Why, in front of a wicked song?”

“It just so happened to be like that.”

“Did you try to jump in and save me if it was dangerous?”

He was even holding a long sword that he used during training.

“Is this touching?”

“Because it’s not. “How can I get through that?”

“That’s why it’s touching. “You came to save me even though you knew I was going to die.”

“I just came here. “If I hear any fighting in there, I will let Master know.”

“As expected, he’s smart. Of course it should be. You shouldn’t jump in and die in vain when you’re not good enough. “My right hand man is so wise, so what should I worry about?”

Seo Dae-ryong belatedly breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps relieved that I had come out safely.

“Wow, my legs are still shaking. “Even the head of state was a little worried.”

“Investigator Seo.”

“yes.”

“Please continue to worry about me from now on.”

“yes?”

“I ask you to worry. Because I too can make mistakes, make mistakes, and do stupid things. “Please continue to worry and ask for help.”

Seo Dae-ryong smiled slightly.

“Well, if the right arm doesn’t do it, who will?”

“The left arm will do it.”

“Are you going to ruin this good mood like that?”

As the two of them walked out, playing around with each other, they stopped and looked up at the tree above their heads.

“What are you doing there?”

Surprisingly, there was a blood chopping board sitting on a tree branch.

“Watching the sunset.”

“Why here?”

“I’m going to keep an eye on my student to see if he’s playing around.”

At that moment, Seo Dae-ryong was surprised. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked up at the blood-cheon chopping block blankly. This was the first time that Hyeolcheondoma called himself a disciple.

“Master! Thank you, Master.”

Seo Dae-ryong’s voice was wet. Hyeolcheondoma, who was disgusted by this kind of atmosphere, shouted.

“What are you staring at? “If you come to practice, you have to run!”

“yes! “Master!”

Seo Dae-ryong started running. Seeing as he forgot to say hello to me, I guess he was really touched when he told me that Hyeolcheondoma was his disciple.

I flew up and landed next to the branch where he was sitting.

“This guy is breaking.”

“I will be as light as a feather.”

Even though two people were sitting on it, the thin tree branch did not break.

“Well done.”

“Good job.”

“You’ve seen that I like it, right? So you shouldn’t delay. Just say everything at the time, be condescending, and hate when people hate you. That’s how it should be.”

“Are young people educating old people?”

“yes. You have to learn. That way, I can live with the younger kids.”

“If you can’t even talk.”

We looked at each other and laughed.

“If you’re this worried about me, please tell me.”

“I came here because I was afraid of making him angry. “When that vicious guy gets angry, his eyes really turn upside down.”

“Have you seen it?”

“I saw it once. “I really don’t think anyone could stop me.”

Yes, I know what that looks like. It is true that no one can stop it.

“If it were you, I somehow thought he might have gone crazy.”

“Why me?”

“Because you really piss people off. “How could it be any different from an extremely evil Soma?”

“Luckily it wasn’t that bad today.”

“Because you are the son of the cult leader, you were able to come out without seeing blood. Otherwise, one of them would have died.”

“Thank you for your concern, old man.”

“What is gratitude? let’s go.”

“The sunset is over there. “Let’s take a moment and go.”

“Getting old is sad, but what about sunsets?”

Hyeolcheondoma quickly jumped away and left the place.

Left alone, I sat on a tree branch and watched the setting sun for a while.

Suddenly, I remembered the last appearance of Extreme Soma before returning. The sight of his eyes sparkling with halo.

-…I do not remember. When I was young and playing with my friends, did I want to kill the tagger? Since when did I start being like this?

-Do you regret it? Living an evil life.

-What is regret? I regret not being able to kill more people. I’m so scared that I’m going to go to hell. ah! frustrated. Please take off the mask… Thank you. Is this your first time with my face?

―I must have heard that you were handsome when you were young. Why did you spend your whole life using it?

―My teacher asked me when he chose me when I was young. If you follow him, you will never be able to take off this mask for the rest of your life. Do you think you can? Instead, he said he would allow him to live a life of killing people to his heart’s content. I said I would do it without hesitation. ah! Now that I think about it, I’ve been like that since then. That’s why Master recognized me.

-After Master died, you had a chance to at least take off your mask, right?

-You will know when you try it. Once you use it, you can’t take it off. I feel at ease. Wear a mask and kill and kill again. Kill. Later, the mask was killing people.

-Wherever you go, do you make excuses and fall asleep? You killed them all.

-Did you notice? Hahaha cough. It’s hard to really smile. This mask has become my symbol, so how can I take it off? Are you going to send a letter to the martial arts world saying that you will take off your mask starting today? Hey Moochul. Ah, I guess Moochul wasn’t your name either. What is your real name?

―….

―Have you ever thought of me as a friend?

―….

―You bastard. When you get to hell, you will die by my hands.

―Yes, then take revenge to your heart’s content.

-I was in so much pain from a while ago. Now draw your sword, friend.

-bye.

Extreme Soma died in my hands.

At that time, there was no choice but to eliminate him in the process of obtaining Dafa materials. He was a villain who deserved to die, but at the moment of his death, he considered me a friend.

I never told him I was a friend. Maybe I was more of a villain at that moment.

* * *

My father willingly allowed us to play the game even on a sudden visit.

Usually I just played baduk quietly, but today I talked a lot.

“…I met Mabul the other day. “I said things I didn’t mean, thought about the person, and tried to find out seriously what kind of person he was.”

My father didn’t respond and just focused on Go. Normally, he would have yelled at me for being so noisy, but today he stayed quiet.

My father noticed. My son came because he was distraught and wanted to talk about various things.

I continued talking.

“Today I met the evil Soma again. I hate that person. “It’s not because I support my brother, but because I think he’s crazy for killing people while laughing.”

My father said as he picked up a baduk stone.

“Make death stones only here.”

The message was not to kill any more mazons. When the Seobhonmazon died, he was told not to kill any more, but he emphasized it again.

What if I have to kill Extreme Soma again? What if it’s fate like that again? I thought that he and I were bound by a truly strong bond.

I just hope that doesn’t happen in this life.

“Do I have the skills to kill Extreme Soma? Anyway, the reason I go to meet the Magons is…”

I continued speaking again. I’m trying to say everything I want to say when you listen obediently like this.

“It was for me and it was also for my brother. When I first went hunting, I shouted loudly that I would force all the Mazons to kneel and line up, but when I actually encountered them, it wasn’t that easy. Your father is right. “Dealing with people is the most difficult job in the world.”

My father didn’t say anything and just played baduk. It looks like you decided to just listen today.

“Please do not misunderstand that just because I look like this, I am not suitable to be your successor. “If you think about all this in advance, you will emerge stronger later.”

“It’s a long-awaited opportunity, so why don’t you curse at your brother?”

“I’m not going to curse at my brother for the time being. It’s a lot of trouble to float gracefully like a swan. It’s so hard to keep moving your feet under the water! “You’re not the type of person to come and confess like me, are you?”

For a moment, I saw my father laughing. It was a very subtle and quick change, but my new eye technique has now taken hold.

“As expected, as we chat, the game of Baduk becomes more and more disadvantageous. “Now let’s focus.”

I was so absorbed in baduk. I asked as we finished.

“Can I visit you sometimes when I don’t know what to do?”

My father’s hand, which was about to place the stone, paused in midair for a moment.

“Isn’t it a foul? What if I ask the referee for an answer?”

“Don’t think of it as a judgment, but just think of it as giving a lesson, right?”

My father put down the baduk stone.

“The training is fun.”

He didn’t say yes or no directly, but he did say that he would allow it.

I know. Even if you treat me well like this, it is different from choosing a successor. Even tomorrow, he is the one who can say, ‘The successor is your older brother.’

As for the results of Go, I barely beat two houses.

“Are you getting more and more skilled? Isn’t that why you don’t put Sima military to sleep? “This is a foul.”

“Aren’t you in the military too?”

“I can’t play baduk.”

“Where in the world is there a soldier who can’t play baduk?”

“Now that I think about it, that’s true. I’ve never seen a soldier who couldn’t play baduk, even in a storybook. “I guess I was deceived by a soldier who can’t even play baduk.”

My father chuckled at my joke.

“Then I’ll see you next month.”

As I was leaving after saying hello to my father, my father asked me from behind.

“Is your luggage heavy?”

The moment I heard those words, my heart was pounding. It was the first time I heard words of comfort from my father.

“I would be lying if I said it was as light as a feather, but it’s not so heavy that I couldn’t hold it.”

“Then that’s it.”

That’s it then. Why is this word so good to hear these days?

If someone recognizes my efforts… then that’s okay.
