How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 395
407. A separate existence
Currently, Kim Ho-jung has the unique ability to resurrect as a ‘black beast’ when he dies.
30 seconds at the earliest. No matter how late it is, within 5 minutes, it will start reviving, and immediately after reviving, it will lose its sanity and run amok, smashing anything it sees nearby.
“But in Mr. Alec’s story, Mr. Kim Ho-jung died first, and he stayed silent until all his colleagues died and Alec fell down the cliff.”
“uh. Besides, Shin Yoo-jun, that son of a bitch, didn’t even know the power of the black beast.”
In other words, it is said that Kim Ho-jung did not have the black beast ability until the time he was killed by Shin Yu-jun.
“If that’s the case, Ho-jeong Kim suddenly acquired the ability of the black beast after dying…” I
‘ve never heard of a dead person being resurrected in a non-undead form, except for Ho-jeong Kim, but to get the ability while dead.
What the hell happened there that day?
“Is there a 1 in 1000000000 chance of achieving an achievement when a dimension mover dies?”
“If there was such a thing, Kim Ho-jung would have told us. Crying too.”
“That’s right. while crying.”
In the first place, there is a high probability that the dimension mover’s job and skill will be set in a way that suits the person’s aptitude and inclination.
However, for Kim Ho-jeong, who is afraid of death and reluctant to commit violence, the violent ‘black beast’ triggered by her own death does not suit her at all.
In a word, it doesn’t belong to you, but it feels like you’ve been forced to take it on.
“Ah, Shin Yoo-jun, that son of a bitch… said this while killing Kim.”
“What do you mean?”
Alec clicked his tongue lightly and replied.
– I even offered it as a sacrifice with my own hands.
At that time, Shin Yu-jun was neither angry nor annoyed.
With a face as if he didn’t really understand the situation in front of his eyes, he stabbed a pair of scissors into Kim Ho-jung’s heart as if he wanted to undo what was wrong.
“A sacrifice?”
“After that, I cut the thread and rushed in, so I couldn’t hear the story behind it, but I definitely said that.”
“…hmm.”
Hearing those words, Kang Seung-hyun thought for a moment and then said:
“Maybe Shin Yoo-jun is the reason why Kim Ho-jeong got the black beast ability.”
“what?”
Sacrifices usually refer to objects or sacrifices offered in rituals.
“Just think about cause and effect.”
After dropping his last colleague, Ma Cheol-hyeon, down a cliff, Shin Yu-jun entered the ruins where the forbidden being was imprisoned and gained great power.
Sehmet knows what happened inside it, but he can’t tell you anything because he’s caught on keyword restrictions.
And Shin Yu-jun himself revealed that he had ‘offered Kim Ho-jung as a sacrifice’.
‘If you combine all this information…’
Shin Yu-jun, who entered the ruins, might have sacrificed the dead Kim Ho-jung to a forbidden being and gained strength in return.
As a result of that influence, Kim Ho-jeong seems to have been resurrected unwantedly, gaining an ability that does not suit him at all as a ‘black beast’.
Kang Seung-hyun guessed this.
“This is what I think. Well, I wasn’t there, so I can’t say with 100% certainty.”
“If it’s that crazy guy, he’ll stay.”
Alec clicked his tongue lightly and murmured.
Killing a precious colleague and offering it as a sacrifice is an act that ordinary people can’t understand, but Shin Yu-jun, who has a twisted mental state like a tangled skein.
‘I’m a precious colleague, but since he’s dead anyway, it wouldn’t matter if I offered him as a sacrifice.’
He must have thought of it this way.
“The reason Shin Yoo-jun doesn’t know Kim Ho-jung’s ‘Black Beast’ ability is probably because he left Ho-jung Kim in the ruins and didn’t see him resurrected.”
“Well, if I had seen it, I would have been beaten to death by Kim on the spot.”
Due to the nature of the black beast that never forgives the person who killed it, Shin Yu-jun would not have been left alone.
“Why did it have to be Kim Hyung? Among many, many people… Thanks to you, I was able to meet Kim again.”
“That’s true, but normal sacrifices are living sacrifices, so I’m curious about why they sacrificed bodies.”
Some questions have been answered, but new questions have arisen.
“There…”
Alec opened his mouth with a very uneasy face.
“That bastard Shin Yu-jun said this at the end.”
“What did you say?”
“See you all next time. By now.”
“three?”
“It was only me and Kim hyung that were there.”
The now-dead arsonist was still alive at the time, but Shin Yu-jun even greeted him and was not a person worth caring about.
“That’s what I thought, maybe…”
“That friend seems to have the same thoughts as me.”
“what?”
“Actually, I was also going to talk to Mr. Alec about that on Bismar Island.”
Kang Seung-hyun replied with a calm face as if he was not too surprised.
“Maybe Kim Ho-jung and the black beast are separate personalities.”
At first, I thought that the reason Kim Ho-jeong, who was simply resurrected as a black beast, was running amok after dying, then came back to life and ran amok.
But the more I watched, the more I noticed a strange difference.
It’s like aiming for the target who killed yourself as the first priority, and when you kill the target, you end it in a similar way and thoroughly pay back.
“It’s not something a mindless person would do to lose their reason and run amok.”
“I was pissed off, but it’s a bit different from losing my mind… Is this what you mean?”
“Yes.”
No matter how deranged he may be, his behavior as a black beast is not something Kim Ho-jung would do.
Because Kim Ho-jeong was a person who could not harm others if she went mad and banged her head against the wall.
“Originally, it is said that a person’s nature is revealed only when he drinks, but we all know that man’s personality.”
“You know, even when you’re drunk, you’re the kind of person who takes everyone in a taxi and sends them home.”
“Ah, the reason I became suspicious was because a black beast challenged me to a match on Bismar Island.”
The black beast, who acquired a new skill that day, had a bout with Kang Seung-hyeon and achieved the achievement of breaking the silver glory.
“It’s not just a frenzy or a state of chaos, but it has its own desire and will.”
The desire to win and the fighting spirit.
The act of enjoying the game itself against a strong opponent.
Something that Kim Ho-jung could never find.
It was difficult to grasp because it only appeared for a moment right after the resurrection, but I was sure of the fight that day.
“I think that’s why the black beast is a separate existence from Kim Ho-jung.”
If you think about it that way, what you’ve seen so far is understandable.
The violent behavior that I couldn’t even think of as Kim Ho-jung, the fighting skills on a different level, or the reason why I had no memory of being a black beast.
“I thought it wasn’t like Kim Ho-jung, but it wasn’t Kim Ho-jung in the first place.”
“Well, even if they are the same thugs, just look at one of them building a kong and the other whimpering.”
Of course, the person concerned will be completely unaware of this fact.
Wouldn’t he just think that he would lose his temper and run amok every time he died and woke up like a drunken man going wild?
“So what do you think, Mr. Alec?”
“Of course…”
Alec replied with a smile.
“You think, ‘This is so cool!’”
It was an Alek-like answer that I like.
“Personality of light and darkness… Dr. Jekyll and Hyde… They are absolute dark heroes!”
“Dr. Jekyll and Hyde has been like that since when.”
“Then heheuheum hyung Kim was originally kuhhm hmmh. Ah, the day will come when I will take this word out of my mouth.”
“….”
“Did you originally have a ‘double personality’?”
At that moment, Kang Seung-hyun regretted, ‘Should I have told Lee Ji-ah instead of Alec?’
“That won’t be it. The usual Kim Ho-jeong doesn’t show a violent personality.”
“Well, Kim hyung is calm even when he drinks.”
Seeing that a violent personality only appears immediately after resurrection, the cause of personality creation is the ‘Black Beast’ ability.
And the reason Kim Ho-jung got the black beast ability is presumed to be Shin Yu-jun.
“So, before he died, he must have been a normal and healthy person.”
“Damn it Shin Yoo-jun… Why did you kill Kim hyung!”
bang!
Alec slammed the floor in anger.
“If you killed me first, I would have the power of the black beast! I will never forgive this damn bastard!”
“Is that a problem?”
Alec said that he sent the past of Ma Cheol-hyun to his colleagues, but in the process, it seems that he sent even a little sanity together.
“But, then, did Shin Yoo-jun notice Kim hyung as soon as he first saw him? Aren’t you lucky?”
“Because he was the one who sacrificed it.”
I don’t know what you did inside the ruins, but I wonder if there’s something you’ve done in your own way.
“Why the hell did you bring the body?”
“Ah, Sehmet-sama might know something.”
I can’t tell you everything because of keyword restrictions, but at least I will be able to determine whether Kang Seung-hyun’s guess is true or not.
“how is it? Shall we go eat Seonjiguk when it’s time?”
Alec said with a smirk.
“The Sehmet Cult’s headquarters is also in the eastern part. A village right next to Havasta. Ghost Pepper.”
“Hmm….”
Currently, the identity of the black beast is presumed to be a mental illness created in the process of Shin Yoo-jun putting Kim Ho-jung’s body in Sehmet’s ancestor’s coffin and taking it out.
‘I don’t know what Sehmet will think of the black beast.’
Zmaire, who was another god, hated the black beast very much, so there is a possibility that Sehmet would also go out of his way to get rid of it.
Kang Seung-hyun thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
‘If something goes wrong, it’s fine if it bounces.’
To him, whose daily life is to destroy religious denominations, God’s wrath is just a trivial happiness in everyday life.
“I don’t know how good the restaurant is, so I highly recommend it, but since you say that, you should try it at least once.”
