Doctor’s Rebirth - Chapter 773
Episode 773
A lot of things happened.
People now know what they are.
I realized the monster inside me that I had been denying for so long, and I feared and hated it.
Some of them committed suicide, unable to overcome the weight of their sins.
To become a Buddha by accumulating good deeds.
Because that is what Abu Buddha was all about.
People saw the end of that faith, and those who could endure it and those who could not were sharply divided.
“Don’t you save them?”
“Painkillers are just painkillers, not a panacea. Even if you fake the pain, nothing will change unless the tumor is removed.”
“…Right.”
“And if you rely on painkillers, you will eventually need stronger and stronger painkillers.”
In the end, the doctor’s final prescription was terribly written.
Stop killing just one child.
Face the truth.
There was no strawberry-flavored antipyretic syrup or citrus vitamin jelly.
Instead of prescribing a single painkiller, I grabbed them by their hair and forced them to face the truth.
Chaos and madness arose.
It was the bare face of hell.
At night they became painfully aware of what they were and had to remember who they had eaten.
In the midst of that tribulation, Jin Cheonhee looks at Jiashi.
“Jashi, can you hear me?”
“….”
Jashi is sitting in the formation.
As a result of the aftereffects of the drinking, his body turned half into wood, and his eyes became cloudy with white stains.
Jin Cheon-hee puts down the ice cream in front of him.
It was a spirit offering method learned from glass artisans in the past.
Of course, they usually put dates or carefully prepared local food on top, but I heard that Jin Cheon-hee liked the ice cream she made, so I had no reason to refuse.
“Jashi?”
“….”
There is no answer.
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“Your soul would have already been eaten. As he said, after eating every last soul, he will take over this body and walk home.”
“I’m trying to put it off by using every spell I know to prevent that from happening.”
“…But wasn’t Jashi the one who taught my brother magic? “He must not be such a soft-spoken man to leave such shortcuts behind.”
“okay. “The way you see people is accurate.”
Jashi declared.
There is no salvation now.
Since he has already decided to burn everything, nothing can stop him.
They say all magic comes with a price.
Jin Cheon-hee tried to pay the price using his own blood or flesh.
However, even that was blocked by witchcraft.
As if he had expected this situation.
“Jasi knows a lot about witchcraft and knows me well.”
“What is it like to give up? brother. “Because there are impossible things in this world.”
“It feels strange that you, and no one else, is saying it’s impossible.”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee smiles bitterly. Ha-Ryun Yeo closes her mouth at that sight.
For some reason, my brother always believed in himself.
He used to generously give himself a firm belief that was invisible to others.
He was that kind of man.
A person like that grits his teeth at his own words.
But my brother is not God.
It was impossible to make water flow from bottom to top, and it was also impossible to repair an already broken soul.
“After today, Jashi’s soul will be eaten by the spirits without a single trace remaining. Because that’s the contract. The spirit also prepared to disappear and responded to Jashi’s call. “No matter how much I make the contract between the two, I can’t break it.”
“…Cruthless.”
“okay.”
Jin Cheon-hee grits her teeth and eventually takes out the glass bottle from her arms.
White liquid sloshed inside the bottle.
It is the last remaining Rakshasha’s egg.
What Jin Cheon-hee received from Seongju in the past.
It was a pill that Baekcheon-gun swallowed, saying that as long as memories continue, that person will not change.
“that?”
“To do what Jashi asked me to do before he died.”
“I cannot agree. “Isn’t it just that a Rakshasha is born who ate Jashi’s memories?”
“okay. The Rakshasha will still miss Usha and love the earth.”
The ‘me’ that Jashi thinks of and the ‘me’ that Yeo Ha-ryun thinks of cannot be together forever.
Jin Cheon-hee’s shadow sways between light and darkness.
“So I’ll do it this way.”
He opened the cap of the glass bottle. Then he put it down in front of Jashi.
The glass
touched the marble and made a cold sound.
“Jasi, I didn’t answer at that time. But now I have to answer. If you really want this. “If it is not just a fear of death, but if you truly believe that this is ‘life,’ you can eat it with just one piece of your soul.”
“….”
Jashi doesn’t move.
There was no sound of breathing or even a beat of life left in him, to the point where he felt like he was really turning into a tree while standing still.
“Bro, he’s dead.”
He didn’t even have the presence of mind that a living person should have.
“Do you think you would have enough sense as a human being to eat this with just one piece of your soul? Even this is just another name for death.”
Death’s favorite said so.
Jin Cheon-hee also does not deny it. However, he didn’t even say yes.
‘Maybe I was too greedy.’
I thought I would dare to deceive the sky without using this method. There must be another way.
I tried hard and tried again.
In the end, I stood at the edge of the last cliff and listened to his request.
But if you don’t have the strength to hold it.
If there was no soul left to choose it, this would have no meaning either.
‘Where are memories stored?’
Brain or soul?
Or is it somewhere far away that we don’t even know about?
I can not know. Although I don’t know.
“Let’s just go. brother.”
The father’s adventure began the moment his son died.
It was by no means a fairy tale, but a cruel journey that could not be told to others.
There was no heaven or treasure island in a place where one’s own and others’ hands were covered in blood.
The congressman tried his best to stop it, but everything was like an arrow missing a bowstring, and the outcome was already decided the moment he let go.
In the end, the fate of the arrow penetrating everywhere was left.
All that remains is whether or not you reach your goal.
Split arrows have no answer.
“brother.”
Yeo Ha-ryun knows that Jin Cheon-hee cried for a long time as she personally let go of a child.
I hoped that I would not be hurt anymore, either physically or mentally.
If this is the price of a bowman, isn’t it terrible?
Because the rolled stone was worn away and I couldn’t tell where it landed.
“Jashi.”
That moment.
Jashi’s hand moves slowly and grabs the bottle.
There was no life in his expressionless face.
Nevertheless, nevertheless.
The hand that has become an old tree lifts the bottle and puts it into the mouth.
Jororok –
The white liquid filled my mouth, and only the sound of my throat moving, filling the room.
“Ugh!”
It is the sound of one life ending and another life beginning.
He screams and twists around.
The tree branches sprouting from the body began to fall.
Jashi finished defining ‘I’.
Now is the time to answer that.
Jin Tianxi broke the formation and captured Jiashi.
“Usha.”
The bone necklace around his neck rattled.
The memories continued.
If there is memory, the ego also exists. And a soul left.
* * *
“There’s no need to worry anymore, so why?”
“wait a minute.”
Jin Cheon-hee persistently fed Jashi.
Now he has returned to his original human form.
‘No, to be honest, I think the expression ‘returned’ is not appropriate.’
Where one flower fell, another flower bloomed again.
We do not express that as we have returned.
Jashi looks at Jin Cheonhee with a bitter expression.
“You neither confirm nor deny my life.”
“That’s right. “My stupid mind still can’t find the answer.”
“Stupid? “The only person in the world who calls you that is you.”
As she said that, she held Usha’s bone necklace tightly.
Jin Cheonhee took his hand away.
“Everything is normal. It’s no different from before. Even the lung function is weak.”
“It’s like that. In the end, isn’t ‘me’ something I define?”
“What are you going to do from now on? “What happens to the spirits?”
“Well, that’s fine. Even though I have become like this, my old soul has been eaten by spirits and I have paid the price. “I was planning on sending you back to your hometown politely, but I’m contemplating whether I should just sit here.”
“yes? Oh, I guess that’s true too. “If you go back to your hometown, it will be ruins.”
“hmm. Even from a spirit’s point of view, being alone in the ruins is not something to do. There is no shaman without people. “It may be a primitive spirit that lives alone from the beginning, but it has learned to interact with humans.”
“okay. “This place is already empty of spirits anyway, so it would be a perfect place to find a new home.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
Jashi said.
“okay. And in the end, it was this guy’s regret that didn’t eat the last bit of my soul.”
Spirits and humans have different emotions.
Nevertheless, the spirit hesitated until the very end to fulfill its contract and eat Jashi.
“It would have been difficult to maintain existence if it didn’t eat me because it had exhausted a lot of its power, but it was the one who hesitated until the end. So, I want to help you to the point where you can settle down here.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
It seemed that meeting and parting did not just happen between people.
It’s still chaos outside.
Yeo Ha-ryun went out for a while to manage his subordinates and then came back.
“He asked for a chain.”
“hmm?”
“Chains to bind yourself at night. “If possible, they also want someone to stop them from doing stupid things.”
Among those who collapsed after seeing the truth, there were those who faced the truth.
It was the strength of humans and the power to open the future.
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“I want to incorporate this region into my power. So, I want to severely punish anyone who eats people.”
“Did you talk to Seongju?”
“I agreed. “The soldiers we have are not enough, and there is nothing that cannot be done with the gold and meat of our school.”
“You’ve grown quite powerful.”
“hmm.”
In order to subjugate an area this size and maintain order, you must at least become a large sect.
Although the new foreign policy may be less secure than the central office, there will still be no change in the fact that it requires a lot of manpower.
‘The power of Yeo Ha-Ryun in front of us right now must be the tip of the iceberg.’
How much did it grow? That would be enough for the king of a small country to eat.
Thinking back to the time of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, it gained power on a scale that was unimaginable.
That many people who would have died survived, and Yeo Ha-ryun himself counted the number and thought twice before killing people, which gave him fame.
“okay. “Everyone is heading towards the future.”
At that time, Jashi, who was concentrating on the spell with his eyes closed, frowned.
“Damn it. “It seems that another spirit has already taken its place.”
“Already?”
“okay. I thought someone else would come soon after the job was done, but I never thought they would come so quickly. “He seems like a young and weak spirit, but I will try to persuade him well.”
If it doesn’t work out, wouldn’t it be like having a fist fight?
In the end, isn’t it natural that my spirit is more precious than other people’s spirits?
Jin Cheon-hee became worried and chased after Jashi.
* * *
Jashi headed to the basement of the temple.
It was a strongly alkaline lake.
“They say spirits have settled here for generations. “Nothing that is evil can enter, and since it is under the temple, it is not good to receive human faith.”
‘Is it okay that there was a Rakshasha spawning ground?’
I don’t know much about spirits, but judging by Jashi’s expression, it looks like he’s okay.
A dark place.
Unknown murals that I had seen for the first time were revealed.
Here, Jashi performed a ritual to summon spirits.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“Can I see that spirit?”
“hmm. “You can use magic to see it.”
“oh…?”
“Why, you didn’t learn anything like that? “I can’t help it.”
Jashi sprinkled the ashes from the burning wood into Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes.
“Cough.”
I coughed a few times and looked in front of me, and it was still dark.
“I can’t see anything?”
“It’s because the newly established spirit is too weak. “Please wait a moment.”
Jashi performed a ritual by tearing off the goat’s neck, drawing out the blood, and sprinkling it around.
Smoke fills the entire room.
How long has it been?
What appeared there.
[…?]
It is clearly a soul sent away by Jin Cheon-hee himself.
Jin Cheon-hee is so surprised that her eyes widen.
The child was also surprised and opened his mouth.
However, I couldn’t even hear the voice. Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Why don’t you go to a better place and stay here?”
Jashi said.
“I heard that a soul imbued with strong power cannot go to the afterlife and remains as a spirit… I never thought I would see this with my own eyes.”
“You said you were weak!”
“Weak.”
“Aren’t you going to die soon?”
“Originally, I had planned to help my spirit find a home, even if it meant using physical force. “Because I also want to protect my spirit.”
This guy doesn’t even hide it!
The child who has become a spirit is shaking his arms.
Jin Cheon-hee blocks in front of Jashi.
“If you want to get rid of this, I really won’t stay still.”
“okay. I don’t plan on doing that either. “Let’s name it with that in mind.”
“yes?”
Jashi walked towards the child.
“Baby. I have finished this work and now I want to follow the author. “That ridiculous guy called Daylight.”
[….]
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes widen at those words.
If Jashi could come to Baeklin’s Pavilion, it would be of great help to Jin Cheonhee.
Even if he could barely use magic, his herbalism was a great gift to Uigak.
Jashi continued.
“How about you follow along? You will be settling in the central plains, so you may be lonely, but other spirits will not be able to harm you.”
[….]
How long has it been?
The child nodded and sat on Jashi’s shoulder.
“I think you should come up with a new name.”
Jashi pondered before opening his mouth.
“Isha. “My son who passed away first was named Usha, and I thought you were his younger brother.”
The child smiles brightly.
Isha.
He seemed to like the name.
“Thank you. You are my beginning and salvation.”
As soon as the name was given, a long orphan appeared in the child’s head.
That figure is a monkey.
It also resembled any stone monkey that had reached the heavenly axis.
“I heard that memories before death have a big impact on these things, but why would a child know the story of the Fire Empire?”
Jin Cheon-hee laughed awkwardly at those words.
“I think I’m the culprit.”
Son Goku, who arrived in the west, now heads east.
Instead of Xuanzang, Shao-jeong, and Jeo Ba-gye, there was a doctor, a demonic cult leader, and even a shaman.
Instead of carrying Buddha’s sutras, I had to carry a mountain of soda back home.
The adventure that I thought was over has begun again.
The story continues.
It’s what a child once dreamed of.
It was an adventure story that would never end.
