The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 232
◈ Episode 232. Obscurity (1)
Labyrinth Lord’s office.
“Oh, is that really something to talk about?”
Jong Li-kwon tries to change the conversation lightly with a haha smile.
However, Barce instead looked at Zhong Liquan with an expression as if his brain had completely stopped at that point.
Rather, at this moment, Barce wanted to ask.
What on earth does that mean?
The words began to linger in Barce’s throat and mouth.
Shall I say it?
Should I just say it?
Question about who my wife is?
At that moment, numerous thoughts appeared in Barche’s mind and then disappeared, and Zhong Liquan was slowly observing him and seeing the opportunity to change the story.
And at that moment, Barce was convinced.
If you don’t ask at this very moment, you can no longer ask about this story.
In addition, I am convinced that now would be the perfect time to reveal that I have lost my memory.
…Of course, Barce’s choice was not the best.
Barce has come too far to say that he has already lost his memory.
However, Zhong Liquan’s curiosity about his wife caused Barche’s brain to temporarily go into a state of brain freeze.
In the end, Barce opened his mouth before Zhong Liquan could change the story.
“…who is your wife?”
one word.
At those words, Zhong Liquan stopped talking and looked at Barce.
At that moment, one word passed through Barce’s mind.
‘I committed it.’
The word ‘committed’.
As it passed by Barce, a thousand emotions passed through him.
A variety of dizzying emotions passed through Barce’s mind, starting with the thought that this was really a good thing, but he did not regret it.
In any case, whether it was porridge or rice, he had to tell Zhong Liquan if he wanted help.
Therefore, Barce immediately looked at Zhong Liquan with a nervous expression.
Zhong Liquan stared at him blankly for a while.
“Oh, um…”
He immediately made a very shocked expression, nodded his head a couple of times, and said.
“It certainly doesn’t look like the fight is over yet.”
“…?”
“Yeah, well, I’m sure… that fight isn’t one that can be ended so easily. It’s a fight that’s been going on for hundreds of years to begin with. “It looks like we’ve had a bit of a falling out.”
“???”
Barche lands a hook on his head at Zhong Liquan’s words.
However, regardless of Barche’s reaction, Zhong Liquan continued his story.
“Yeah, well… I think that’s possible, but be careful what you say. “If you get caught wrongly, you will be taken straight to heaven.”
At the end of those words, Barce realized that Zhong Liquan had completely misunderstood what he said, and he thought with an annoyed expression on his face.
No no! That’s not it!
I really don’t know! I really don’t know!
However, Zhong Liquan must have taken Barce’s expression completely differently and nodded with an expression of understanding.
“Okay, well, this isn’t a story I should interfere with, so let’s just move on.”
I passed over the story so lightly.
In the end, Barce, who thought it was the best time to ask a question, was unable to tell Kim Joo-hyuk that he had lost his memory until he returned with his underground friend.
####
[Look, you’re good, right? [Anonymous.]
As soon as he heard that voice, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he was looking at a memory.
What you see is still a place surrounded by mountains and trees.
There, the faceless man spoke in a very cheerful voice as he sheathed his sword.
[Get rid of arrogance and arrogance. This means that you should approach it with the mindset of starting again from the beginning. Because right now you haven’t even finished the radish properly.]
The man said that and turned around without hesitation.
It seems like there is nothing more to talk about.
[Now then, let’s end the story here. This is all the help I can give. From now on, you have to do it yourself.]
The man turns and walks away with him.
Looking at him like that, Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he had asked a question, even though he still couldn’t hear his own voice.
[I don’t know. I think I might see you again when you bloom.]
After saying that, the man turned and disappeared into the mountains.
“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who returned to reality again, looked around with a new expression.
The cave was still softly illuminated, and hundreds and thousands of chains were hanging from the ceiling of the cave, just mixed here and there.
There is only one thing that has changed.
“….”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the underground person below him.
An underground person whose body is divided into upper and lower parts and no longer moves.
‘Is he dead?’
While Kim Joo-hyuk was thinking while looking at his bright eyes, he suddenly realized that the expression that he was killed by an underground person did not fit.
At least when Kim Joo-hyuk was dealing with him, Ji Ha-in seemed to be already dead.
‘Now that I think about it, he’s a bit of an interesting guy.’
Kim Joo-hyuk knew that the underground person was related to him, so he looked at him split in half with a strange expression.
Shrug.
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze away from the underground person.
At least, even when I found one of my old names, Myung-myeong, I couldn’t remember anything about the underground person.
‘Actually, there are things that need to be sorted out a little more than that.’
Kim Joo-hyuk sighed while pressing down on the affected area, which continued to bleed without stopping.
Kim Joo-hyuk won the battle of the underground.
I also got a name, and memories began to come to mind, albeit very vaguely.
In addition, I came up with a martial art that I came up with for the first time, and I was also interested in the last word the man said, ‘flowering’.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk had no choice but to put all those questions aside.
“Wow…”
The reason is because of the scars the underground person left on him.
“It fucking hurts.”
It didn’t seem like it was that painful when the underground person hit him right away, but once the tension went away, the pain came in earnest to the point that Kim Joo-hyuk broke into a cold sweat without even realizing it.
‘…First of all, I need to come to my senses and control the pain.’
Kim Joo-hyuk eventually had to wait in a cold sweat until Zhong Li-quan opened the door to the prison again.
####
Labyrinth Lord’s office.
“oh.”
Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously let out an exclamation as he looked at the amulet emitting bright light attached to his affected area.
The reason was not simply because the amulet shined, but because the amulet attached to the wound was healing the wound at a very fast rate.
Of course, there were a few constellations and contractors with recovery abilities on the ground, but Kim Joo-hyuk was impressed because the level of recovery ability was not this fast.
“That’s it.”
Not long after, Jong Li-kwon removed the amulet attached to Kim Joo-hyuk’s wound and saw that the area where the flesh had fallen off had healed very cleanly and said so.
“that’s interesting.”
Kim Joo-hyuk is impressed while touching the affected area, which was bleeding only a moment ago.
Since it was clearly an area where there was a wound, I thought it might cause some pain, so I pressed the area once or twice, but there was no pain left in the healed area.
“Well, it’s not something you can use often, but for a one- or two-time treatment like this, it’s not that bad.”
Jong Li-kwon shook the green amulet that was attached to Kim Joo-hyuk’s body and then put it in his arms and spoke.
“So… judging by your expression, I think you found the name, is that correct?”
Zhong Liquan’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded and opened his mouth.
“that’s right. “Thanks to you, I found the name.”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and began to explain to Zhong Li-kwon and Barche step by step what happened during the fight against the underground people.
Soon, Zhong Li-quan, who was quietly listening to Kim Joo-hyuk’s story, nodded and spoke.
“Still, it seems like things worked out well.”
“It worked out well.”
“So, did you think of anything after getting the name?”
Zhong Liquan’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk made a subtle expression and then nodded.
“There are some things that come to mind. “Although it is a little slight.”
“If you wait patiently, your memories will gradually return. “In the first place, memories do not come back that clearly, but come back slowly at some point.”
Zhong Liquan shrugged his shoulders as he said that and then quickly changed the topic.
“And I heard you said earlier that you had something to ask. What is it?”
“It’s a curiosity that arose when I got a name this time.”
Kim Joo-hyuk said that and thought for a moment about what to ask first before asking a question.
“First of all, what I want to ask you about is about the underground people.”
“Underground person?”
“You said you were related to me and the underground people, right? “He attacked me before, got beaten up, and hid in the dark prison.”
Zhong Liquan nodded at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
“yes.”
“So the underground people were originally monsters?”
“…were you originally a monster?”
“Yeah, like I said earlier, when I went down and saw him, he almost didn’t have any human appearance. Besides, I was smart enough to struggle a lot in battle, but it seemed like Izzy had already disappeared. So, I was just curious.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Zhong Li-kwon nodded and spoke.
“I’m sure it makes sense, but I’m afraid I don’t have anything I can tell you.”
“why?”
“I’m really sorry, but I know that something like that happened between you and the underground person, and that the underground person has escaped to prison. “Well, let me tell you one thing.”
Zhong Liquan closed his mouth as if thinking for a moment, but then opened his mouth again.
“The old name for underground people was Seondo (善道).”
“leadership?”
“exactly. As far as I know, before he was called an underground person, he was a teacher to the ancestors.”
“…Seondo-ra”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head with a strange expression, but then nodded as if he understood and immediately moved on to the topic.
“First of all, I understand that, but can I ask the next question right away?”
“Do whatever you want. “As far as I know, I’ll just tell you everything.”
Zhong Liquan answers by nodding.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded his head once.
“I want to know about flowering, do you know anything?”
That’s what I said.
“…Bloom.”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Zhong Li-kwon nodded.
“I think I have a little story to tell you about that.”
As I answered him, I immediately started talking about flowering.
