Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 379

Episode 379

: The reason I knocked out Dark Soul City before starting work was not simply because I was worried that it would struggle and rebel.

When the host falls asleep, the activity of the gourd also decreases significantly.

In other words, it meant that it was an essential work that must be done in order to remove the go (蠱) more safely.

Regardless of whether the target cooperates or not.

‘found.’

I carefully placed the bet and looked into Amhonsi’s mind.

A small bug curled up in a dark place inside the skull.

I had to be careful from now on.

If you stimulate it carelessly, it will run wild like a colt with its tail on fire.

Even the slightest mistake could cause the host to die or become an idiot.

It was okay since I had already mastered the art of controlling the white lightning energy injected into another person’s body.

The problem was whether it was possible to implement the curtain of the Uihyeonggi as intended.

‘We must mobilize all the knowledge we have gained so far.’

It wasn’t just Go’s movements that needed to be careful.

Care had to be taken not to injure the brain during darkness.

As someone who was still inexperienced in using the stylus, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Although I did not study medicine, I had a general idea of how complex the human brain is.

How sensitive it is to external stimuli.

If I were not careful, Amhonsi might end up in ruin because of me, not Ko.

‘It’s not a life-threatening battle. There is plenty of time.’

All you need is concentration.

All we had to do was realize the ideal form, no matter how long it took.

“…….”

Silence fell.

The Germans of the party family standing in the back did not say a word for fear of being in the way.

I covered the surface of the drum by gradually attaching small pieces of the steel pipe together.

Sweat beaded on my forehead.

It would be better to move around the training ground and swing the sword, but such detailed work just didn’t suit my temperament.

‘If he were the Demon Cult leader, he would have easily done something like this.’

I was able to realize once again the gap between me and the religious leader.

How much practice do you need to accumulate to reach that level?

Only when the two angles had passed was the work of wrapping the coronet with a false shape steel tool completed.

‘My heart is pounding so I won’t be able to eat it twice.’

I inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like my lifespan had been cut by half because I was worried that the tower I had worked so hard to build would collapse.

Once we got this far, the rest was easy.

All you had to do was burn the body to death with the needle of the Noegi without leaving a trace.

Crackling!

There was a subtle noise that only I could hear and that no one else could hear.

Although Go struggled, spewing out secretions indiscriminately, the membrane made up of fragments of the cervix clearly protected the host’s brain from it.

‘The residue remaining after burning is gradually passed through the bloodstream.’

It would be okay to finish the work as is, but I decided to make sure it was finished to prepare for any possible danger.

It was about another hour later that I took my hand off the top of Amhonsi’s head.

“Huh.”

I let out the breath I had been holding and sat down with my butt on the floor.

Dang Seo-yeon, who was startled, ran over and immediately supported my body.

‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I felt this tired.’

My whole body was limp like wet cotton.

The damp clothes gave an idea of the amount of sweat I had shed.

It’s one thing to create the desired shape by connecting pieces of a prosthesis, and another is to maintain it for a long time.

None of it was easy.

“after.”

Tang Seo-yeon looked at me with a worried expression as I slowly got up from my seat.

I wanted to just go to my dorm and lie down, but before that, I had to check the results.

I placed my hand on Amhonsi’s head again and immediately drew a satisfied smile on my face.

‘It was removed cleanly.’

There was no longer any remnant of suffering left in her mind.

No abnormality was found in the body.

With this, there would be no chance of Darkness dying in vain during interrogation.

Now all that remains is to take the time to extract information.

“Sozer. “Can I ask you to take care of the rest?”

“Please leave it to me.”

“sorry. I want to stay until the end, but I don’t think it will be possible with my current physical condition. “I’ll take a short break and then come back.”

I relieved my aching shoulders and left the secret room in the basement.

The Germans of the Tang family began to move around busily and prepare for the interrogation.

* * *

When I entered the lodgings provided by the Jegal family, I collapsed on the bed.

The smell of sweat lingered all over my body, but that was a good thing.

I wanted to take a bath and take a rest first.

I closed my eyes and sank my consciousness inside.

Then, he began to use his energy according to the structure of the Baekreui Shingong.

“…….”

I regained my energy through the clouds and opened my eyes, clicking my tongue in my mind.

When I looked out the window, the sun was already setting in the evening.

‘I was so engrossed that I lost track of time.’

I thought about falling asleep like this, but I couldn’t because my stomach was growling on an empty stomach.

I hurriedly left the dormitory, asked Sega’s servant for directions, and headed to the bathroom.

After washing my body and changing my clothes, I headed straight to the restaurant.

I could have asked a servant to bring the food to my room, but considering my appetite, it would have been better to do it myself, even if it was annoying.

“Ah, Sohyeop.”

“Were you eating?”

As I entered the restaurant, I saw a familiar face.

It was Zhuge Hyukjin, the earth dragon of the small family of the Zhuge family.

As I sat across from him, I called my hostess and ordered a large amount of food.

Zhuge Hyuk-jin, who was watching the scene, let out a laugh.

“Can you eat all of that?”

“If it’s not enough, I plan to order more.”

“……Now that I think about it, you were binge eating when I first met you. “I’m worried that Sega’s treasury will be destroyed before we engage in a confrontation with the Demonic Cult.”

Zhuge Hyuk-jin jokes with a smiling face.

I agreed appropriately and nodded.

I couldn’t figure out what the intention was for being so friendly.

It may have been a simple favor, but you had to be cautious when dealing with this type of person.

“How did the interrogation go?”

“It’s still in progress. “Significant results will come out soon.”

“I have high expectations. “The outcome of this war will vary depending on whether or not we can find out the intentions of the Demonic Cult.”

“We will make sure we deliver good news.”

Looking closely, I noticed that the food laid out on the table was extremely simple.

It looked like they had prepared a simple snack rather than dinner.

Maybe he was waiting for me from the beginning?

“Now that I think about it, there is something I would like to ask of the Sohyup.”

“Are you asking me a favor?”

“There is a new formation I developed this time, and I would like to use it on a test basis before using it in actual combat.”

“So, are you asking me to check the power of Jinbeop?”

“yes. This is a strategy to trap absolute masters. In order to check the performance, a military officer with the rank of police officer is needed, but there is no such skilled person at home…” “

I understand what you mean.”

It was a long time ago, but this made it clear.

Zhuge Hyukjin was waiting for me at the restaurant to ask for this favor.

I rubbed my chin and was lost in thought.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested.

Isn’t this a strategy to trap absolute masters?

If practicality was proven, it could be useful on the battlefield.

‘No matter how unpredictable the Earth Dragon may be, there is no way he would put me in danger at this point before the fight against the Demonic Cult.’

There was no particular reason to refuse the request.

However, it was true that it was a bit awkward to simply agree.

What Zhuge Hye said to me not long ago flashed through my mind.

[It is possible, but my younger brother could be rude to the manager.]

[My younger brother has one bad habit. When there’s something he’s interested in, he always acts like he’s testing the other person.] [

Of course, he’s not a child who can’t discern between right and wrong, so he won’t cause a big problem. However, I was worried that the manager’s feelings would be hurt…]

I don’t know if the situation she was worried about will happen.

After hearing the warning, I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

“Actually, I thought about asking the Sword King senior as well, but he is a person with a much higher level of responsibility than me, so it would be a bit awkward to ask for help.”

“…….”

“Of course, if you feel burdened, you can refuse. But…”

“Good.”

I lifted my chopsticks and nodded.

Zhuge Hyuk-jin blinked in surprise, perhaps because he gave his consent easier than expected.

I said as I picked up the meat dish that Suksu had brought and brought it to my mouth.

“I will cooperate as much as I can if it helps in the future fight.”

I was half serious.

In addition, there was a desire to experience the power of Jinbeop and a desire to see what Zhuge Hyukjin would do.

Zhuge Hyukjin took power with a bright smile on his face.

“thank you! “Small cooperative!”

“Just wait until we finish eating.”

“I’ll wait as long as I can.”

About two hours passed since then.

Zhuge Hyukjin and I headed to an open space located halfway up Yongzhong Mountain.

According to Zhuge Hyukjin’s explanation, it seemed to have been a place used by Zhuge family’s Jinbeop practitioners for experiments for a long time.

“This is it.”

“On the outside, it just looks like bare ground.”

“If you place a casting in a visible place, you can’t fool the senses of an absolute master, right?”

“but.”

“If you stand there, I will activate the formation method.”

“All right.”

Standing in the center of the vacant lot, Zhuge Hyuk-jin placed the cast iron he had taken out of his chest onto the floor.

The flames that rose up suddenly obscured my view.

Beyond the flickering flames, I could see Zhuge Hyuk-jin with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.

‘Let’s take a look and see what kind of plan they have.’

* * *

Bang!

Sponsored by the Zhuge family.

A young man ran into the antique-looking hall and loudly opened the door.

I was breathing heavily, as if I had run a long way.

“sister! “We’re in big trouble!”

“……?”

“The Yeon Sohyeop is trapped in a dangerous situation!”

“What do you mean!”

The woman, Zhuge Hye, who was looking at the map spread out on the desk, was startled and stood up from her seat.

Zhuge Hyuk-jin, who was breathing heavily, spoke to her as if giving her a hug.

“One o’clock is urgent! Just follow me! “I’ll explain as I go!”

Without even having time to understand the situation, Zhuge Hyeok followed Zhuge Hyukjin across the garden.

The servants managing the garden looked at the two with puzzled expressions.
