Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 596
[Episode 596] Jegal.
I entered the room with faith.
As soon as you enter the room, Shinui frowns as you look at the room.
“The room isn’t the same…”
I smiled shyly when I heard that.
It was because the condition of the room was a mess, according to the word of faith.
One of the backs was somehow broken.
The only piece of furniture, the tabletop, was split in half.
yesternight.
It’s because I couldn’t control my anger and broke things.
It would have been okay if I called the attendant to ask for it to be removed when I left.
I didn’t do that.
It was a bit embarrassing to ask for something like this to be removed.
Reached out.
Ugh-! Energy erupted from the fingertips, and the scattered remains floated into the air one by one.
I immediately recall what Mo Yong-hee said yesterday.
‘Did he say that he used the empty water in a place like this?’
It’s an act that others would see as absurd.
There was nothing more convenient than doing it yourself.
Although it eats up bets so ridiculously that the efficiency is a bit low.
After roughly cleaning the room, Sinui sat down in an empty seat and said,
“I don’t need a car.”
“I don’t have a car to serve or a table to put on.”
“…”
There could be no such thing as tea in my room.
There are a lot of things I receive from here and there, but I didn’t have to carry them around.
Not only did I not enjoy it, it was annoying.
“I have water. Can I give you that?”
“…okay.”
“Oh sorry. Come to think of it, there is no water.”
“…”
he replied shyly.
They didn’t even bring water to drink in the room.
“It’s okay… I didn’t come here to drink anything.”
“yes.”
I was going to look for something, but at God’s words, I sat down on the floor.
Since there was no need to do anything further, I went straight to the point.
“So what did you say earlier?”
When asked
“…” Shinui’s expression is unusual.
I looked at it and thought.
‘I said that there would be a big problem in Hanam soon.’
These were words that could not be easily passed over.
“Did you say there would be work in Hanam?”
“Yeah… I don’t know when, but maybe not too far…”
Shinui goes through a moment of silence before speaking to me.
“Some people will cause a big accident in Hanam.”
what kind of people
“How do you know that?”
“That’s what they told me directly.”
You said this directly to God?
Listen to it and think about it for a while.
‘I heard he went out for a while yesterday.’
God’s outing yesterday.
together.
‘They said there was someone to meet in Hanam.’
did that have anything to do with this?
A faithfulness that even the head of state cannot easily come to Hanam to meet.
A being like that…
“How did you find the elders and talk about that?”
When I ask with a question, Sinui’s eyes are coldly locked.
Shinui is a legislator.
Why did you call out such faith and talk about the raid?
Who are you and what purpose do you have?
Such questions never ceased.
Shinui answers me when I ask with a strange expression.
“Perhaps because I am of the same blood as them.”
“…”
I raised my eyes upon hearing the answer.
Same lineage?
That means…
‘The descendents of the Jegal family?’
I don’t express it in words, I only think of it in my head.
Still, Sinui probably didn’t know what I knew about her last name.
‘The descendents of the Jegal family are preparing to attack Hanam?’
My head hurts from listening to it.
‘This is something that never happened in my previous life.’
In my past life, there has never been a time when Jegal Sega suddenly appeared to do something.
Even when a genius named Jegal-hyeok started sweeping the midfield while sitting in the chair of the Magician.
Even when another person with the Jegal surname stood in front of Jegal Hyuk, claiming to clear the family name.
Except for them, there was no information that other descendents of the Zhuge family had appeared.
Because I had experienced my previous life, I knew that Shinui and Jegalhyeok, let alone Jiseon, were of the Jegal family.
They hide their bloodlines and hide their surnames.
It was at this point that even whether such a surname existed was blurry.
Obviously that’s the case.
“…The forgotten specters drew their swords to regain their place.”
How did this happen?
I tried to manage my expression and asked God.
“What the heck… what is the true identity of the lineage the elder said?”
Hiding what I know
It was a question that he asked with doubt as to whether he would ever give an answer.
OK.
“A place where the last name of Zhuge was once used.”
“…!”
“I am a descendant of that place.”
Surprisingly, Sinui gave an answer about my last name casually.
I thought I’d hide it at least a little bit. I never thought I would spit this out so easily.
“If it’s Zhuge… I can’t believe it.”
I was surprised in a different sense, but thanks to that, it wasn’t hard to pretend to be surprised.
“okay. It is a place you know.”
“…”
Jegal Se.
In the past, when they were called the Five Greats, the family held an absolute position in terms of jinbeop and institutions.
It is safe to say that Jegal Sega was in charge of most of the Jinbeop and other institutions of the Jungwon at the time.
Its position was so solid and unique that it was believed that even if other places collapsed, Jegal Sei would be maintained.
Ironically, the first place to fall was the Jegal Sega.
The reason for this is also well known.
‘I worshiped the Blood Demon.’
The blood demon that caused the blood and drove the wind.
Jegal Sega worshiped the Blood Demon secretly from the Murim Meng.
Moorimmaeng finds out that he tried to covet his power and falls into ruin in an instant.
Of course, the family has become a mess.
Those with the Jegal surname were ordered to kill them.
All immediate blood relatives died, leaving no one left.
Those who survived said that it was common for them to cover up their surnames.
That’s the current Jegal tax.
No, it’s difficult to call Sega now.
All of them have collapsed and disappeared, so how can we call them three?
Recalling this fact, I asked with sincerity.
“…Do you mind if I tell you about that?”
“Why did you even think of telling Meng?”
“No, I don’t mean to. Can’t you do it later when you’re in a hurry?”
“haha. The reason is very similar to you.”
Shinui smiles and says so.
It felt like something quite swearing.
“It happened. If you can sell this old man for a profit, do it.”
“…I’m not saying I’m going to do it.”
“If only that. I hope you take care of Hyuk.”
“…”
He makes the most difficult. plaguy.
It would have been more comfortable to threaten him not to speak.
He held his breath and said to God.
“So… the descendents of the Jegal family are trying to do something. God, please join us in this. Is that what you meant by that?”
“I guess so.”
“How did you answer the elder?”
“What do you think he would have done?”
this old man You keep answering questions with questions.
“You said you wouldn’t.”
Still, he answered.
“why?”
“The temperament of an elder… No, I think it was because of his personality.”
I almost thought it was temperamental hair without realizing it.
This old man must be very picky.
Shinui laughs a little when he answers, barely because of his personality.
“Yeah… that’s right. I refused. I said I wouldn’t do it.”
“yes.”
“I will not get involved. Obviously that’s what I said.”
The eyes of God who had been speaking are getting darker and darker.
“It wasn’t easy.”
“So are you talking about it like this?”
“right.”
“Then I don’t understand why you came to me.”
Sinui clearly said that he had a favor for me.
And that’s what I was talking about.
I didn’t understand that.
‘There must be a lot of people around.’
I’m not trustworthy right now, but there are also work leaders.
There must be a Pazon who is in the same place now.
Even if it wasn’t them, there must be more people who will act for the sake of God.
Why did it have to be me?
I was wondering about that
The faith of hearing my question like this.
“I don’t know either.”
I took out a more strange answer.
“…yes?”
“Why did I come to you? I don’t know either.”
It was an expression that he really couldn’t understand himself.
“For some reason, I thought it had to be you.”
“Is that the whole reason…?”
“okay. If you don’t like it, say it. I have no intention of being forced.”
“…”
The reason is absurd.
You came just because you thought you had to ask me.
Why are you spitting out such a big deal for such a ridiculous reason?
Could it be that God is also senile? I thought so.
“No… yes.”
It didn’t matter though.
“…Let’s listen to it first.”
Because I had no intention of rejecting it anyway.
The Zhuge family is plotting something in Henan.
How can I get past this?
I couldn’t.
It was none other than me who tried to cause an accident in Hanam.
In such a situation, Zhuge Ga appears and tries to do something?
‘This is true.’
It couldn’t have been a good situation.
It seems that God asked me to stop this.
I thought while listening to this.
‘why me?’
Why block this great opportunity?
It didn’t matter.
This is a great opportunity.
Even more so in the current situation.
Faith in slowly bringing out the story.
As I listened to him, I thought in my head.
How can I use this situation to my advantage?
What I need to think about now
That was all.
****************
It’s getting late at night.
An area a little far from Hanam.
A space that can only be found far below that.
An old man was drinking alone in a secret location where no one knew.
Again.
The wine is poured into the glass.
The old man grabs it and puts it in his mouth.
It doesn’t even look like a week.
I may have kept it in the past, but now I don’t have to.
Because no one was watching.
a drink and two. three more.
As you continue to swallow, the bottle gradually becomes empty.
The old man, who was about to pour the fourth glass, suddenly thought while holding the bottle.
‘How much is left.’
How much alcohol is left in this bottle?
also.
How long will it take to break free from the shackles?
“Probably similar.”
There wouldn’t be as much left as bottled alcohol.
Even that.
Squeak-.
There must have been a moment left before I could catch up with all of this.
After shaking off every last drop, the bottle feels completely empty.
I didn’t need a snack.
If you chew over and over again the past years, that will become your snack.
Leaving the empty bottle behind, the old man slowly raised his glass.
A drink filled to the brim.
It’s like time.
If I drink all of this, will the long-awaited time come?
A trivial thought. The old man smiled.
I’m trying to take the full glass to wear slowly.
“…”
The old man had to stop moving his hand.
The empty eyes come alive, and the eyes change fiercely.
The old man stares as if he is staring at a glass of wine.
The wine in the glass was dripping finely.
The moment the old man confirmed this.
“Great Lord!”
Someone ran in from outside.
“It’s an assault…! Someone raided this place…!!”
“…”
The old man with an urgent voice put down the glass he was holding.
Maybe.
“Looks like you have a guest.”
Even in the urgent words, the old man’s eyes were calm.
“The defenses surrounding the entrance have been lifted…! Accordingly, the crew hurriedly went out… but the opponent’s power…!”
“Don’t be rash.”
The man’s mouth shuts for an instant at the old man’s cool words.
“It’s embarrassing to show it to your guests.”
“Lord…?”
“Prepare more wine.”
The man’s eyes trembled as if he couldn’t understand what he said.
I’ve been raiding, but what kind of alcohol is it all of a sudden?
Now is not the time for that.
The moment I dared to tell Dae-ju.
“Because it looks like an honored guest has arrived.”
Tboob-.
“…!”
The man’s body stiffened at the sound he heard from behind.
at the same time.
Woo-woo-!
A gentle breeze blew through the passage.
if that’s what’s wrong
This is a place where all sides are blocked.
It meant terrain where the wind shouldn’t blow.
Then, what is this wind?
Tboob.
Footsteps gradually get closer.
A leisurely, calm gait.
Tboob.
It sounded unusually loud.
Whoa.
The wind brushes the man’s shoulder.
Is it an illusion? The man somehow felt that the wind was heavy.
A cold sweat gradually flows from the stiff body.
Woowook-!
Pick-!
The blowing wind extinguished all the fires attached to the walls.
the sudden darkness.
But the darkness did not stay long.
Anger-!
The fire burns again when the lights go out.
However, it was quite different from the original flame.
it is purple light
For some reason, the flames were tinged with a purple light.
Besides, there was a fire. For some reason, the darkness feels thicker.
in it
“Nice to meet you.”
A voice echoed through the space.
Crackle -!
The man’s mouth quivered and his teeth clashed rapidly.
When I heard the voice, my body began to react in its own way.
It was a basic human instinct.
fear.
That was definitely how the man felt.
leave that guy behind.
The old man was concentrating on a figure who suddenly appeared.
He is wearing a dark ink-colored uniform and a heterogeneous white mask.
He walks calmly with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that, the old man asked.
“It’s an uninvited guest. Did you come here for something?”
The old man did not answer the question.
Just stare at the old man in silence.
“I won’t answer…”
“Jegal’s wife.”
“…!”
“Is calling that enough?”
At those words, the old man’s brow furrowed.
It wasn’t enough that he raided this place, so he seemed to know his true identity.
“…Who are you?”
“It doesn’t really matter who the principal is. That’s not what’s important here.”
Tboob.
I stopped and slowly approached the old man.
“Great Lord–!!”
The man who had been hardened by that appearance shouted and tried to run away.
The old man raised his hand to restrain him.
“You seem to have a purpose.”
“Yes. A very important purpose.”
The approaching figure stands in front of the old man.
The old man had to frown at him.
Eyes that look beyond the mask.
that was so annoying
“I have something to share with you, so I came here myself.”
“…”
He said he came out casually.
The old man thought that it was offensive, but it was a look that matched the other person very well.
He is a person who came here alone because he did not break through the camp law hanging in the headquarters.
I should never have been careless.
Hiding his true feelings, the old man asked.
“To share… what is it?”
“Previously. What should I call you now?”
“…”
The head of Jegal. I asked if I could call it that.
The old man pondered for a moment, but it didn’t take long to find an answer.
Judging by the fact that he came all the way here in the first place and mentioned the Zhuge family.
It must be someone you know to some extent.
It means that there is no need for useless search battles.
“It’s not called that anymore.”
“then?”
“Cheonra Black Observatory.”
The old man speaks to the character.
“That is the name of the unit I lead. Hani Cheonra Daeju. That is enough for me.”
After that introduction.
The old man must have felt something strange.
“Hmm.”
In the voice of the opponent who hears the name and spit it out.
“Not bad.”
It was because, strangely, there was a feeling of joy.
