Mudong Mountains. (1)
Oil.
This is the time Gu Hee-bi spent in the dungeon of the main palace.
In the past, Gu Hee-bi had to spend a time of incompetence to the point of despair.
The bet still didn’t move due to the palace master’s tricks. As a result
, there was nothing he could do
for Gu Hee-bi, who returned to a weak body with no bets .
Those parts came as a great sense of deprivation to Goo Hee-bi.
thump-
thump
A strange sound coming from the side of the cage.
At the sound that had been repeated since last night, the old man who was sitting against the wall finally
shouted.
“Oh, stay still!”
Kung… Kung…..
The old man’s cry stopped the sound.
The reason for the sound is Guhuibi.
It was the sound of Goo Hee-bi repeatedly banging her head against the barbed wire.
“Do you think the iron bars would break if you kept doing that with that head? It’s noisy,
so stay still.”
Goo Hee-bi, who was filled with gloom at Old Man Muk’s words, turned her head with a rattle
.
It was a half-pained look.
In just five days.
Seeing this, the old man chuckled and laughed.
“It’s not like words. If anyone sees it, they’ll think you were tortured, not me.
”
“Why are you asking?”
“If you don’t want to hear this, sit still. Or do you lay down and spread it
out to sleep?”
Goo Hee-bi wasn’t even sleeping, and she wasn’t even eating properly.
Of course, old man Muk ate all the leftover rice with great taste.
“Wouldn’t it bend someday?”
“Did you think the rock would break if you hit it with an egg? A blood relative of a famous
family is saying something that makes no sense.”
I’m sure it looked fine the first time I saw it.
Why did it happen like that?
“What on earth made you so upset?”
“It’s strange that he’s caught and put in prison, but he’s normal.”
“Ha, girl, it’s not that you didn’t look like that because of that, it looks so good
. Where are you talking nonsense?”
The old man is an expert in this regard.
reading the situation.
Also to grasp the atmosphere.
To find out the emotions hidden in the voice.
The old man was able to be confident that he was doing better than anyone else in the world.
Lies don’t work for an old man who finds dozens of pieces of information even from a passing mutt
.
Old Man Muk, who was watching Gu Hee-bi whining. In the end, the blow of conversion was inserted
.
“Isn’t it so sad that the marbles don’t listen?”
“ ”
“Who the hell were you looking at, that
‘s why it’s so broken that you can’t see it.”
Gu Hee-bi did not come up with any answer to the old man’s words.
In fact, the Celestial Orb does not activate on Gu Hee-bi’s touch.
The marble that is used by feeding the blood to stigmatize the owner and feeding the owner’s wager.
At the same time that Gu Hui-bi lost the bet, it turned into an ordinary ball rolling around
.
Because of that, Gu Hee-bi
was unable to grasp the situation of her sister, who had been checking every day with the Celestial Bead.
‘.. I can’t.’
Being unable to see was not the problem.
no, it was a problem
That’s not what’s important. It was a problem
if Gu Yang-chun learned about the marbles and, by any chance, learned how to use them
.
‘It would be nice to know the location and situation of this place by any chance.’
The important thing is that this incident made Guyangchun not come here all of a sudden.
As usual, I hope you don’t come to save me just because of the distance I have.
I hope that Guyangcheon’s young blood will not cause such a situation.
Goo Hee-bi was constantly wishing.
Because I didn’t want my younger brother to be in danger because of me.
“Stop hitting the marbles, look at them, and put them back in. If they find out, it’ll be in trouble.”
At Old Man Muk’s words, Gu Hui-bi hid the marble again.
Even listening to it, it’s still a puzzled part.
‘What the hell is that old man?’ Old Man Muk
was one of
the most unknown parts of Gu Hee-bi during her stay here for the past few days .
And the fact that he was alone in this prison until he came.
The same goes for being blind and acting casually as if you could see everything.
No matter how you look at it, he was by no means an ordinary old man.
On the second day, looking at the beads Gu Hee-bi was holding, old man Muk said,
-The Celestial Bead, which was said to have disappeared from the blind, went to Guga. so you
just don’t know
Not to mention knowing the top secret information without hesitation.
-If the orb is there, is Han-cheol in military uniform also there?
He casually spits out information that only a few people, including the family head, do not know.
Goo Hee-bi took off her pretense.
-Oh… I see. I feel like I’ve been relieved of my frustration. Thank you. He must have said he didn’t know, but the old man
showed a smile and liked it
as if the answer was rather correct .
‘Obviously… a crazy old man.’
Either way, it wasn’t normal.
However, that did not mean that the old man could be ignored.
Obviously the old man with something was right.
Gu Hee-bi’s intuition said so.
Goo Hee-bi, who tried to think of it, looked at the window and sighed.
Same with Guyangcheon and the old man behind him.
In the end, the biggest problem was yourself.
‘I need to know why.’
Gu Hee-bi was curious.
This is the reason why the palace mistress captured her and put her here.
For several days, Goo Hee-bi could not guess about this.
That would be the case, and the palace governor decided to remember Gu Hee-bi.
The wires were not showing up last.
Goo Hee-bi remains in prison at the level of neglect.
He still didn’t know why he had come here.
I keep running into questions in my head.
In the back, Old Man Muk speaks to Hee-bi Gu.
“But if you were acting like a dog, could you find out something?”
“Old Muk, on the other hand, is very calm.”
“What am I? It’s been a while since I came here. chuckle.”
Gu Hee-bi sighed inwardly and closed her eyes again.
When you try to fall into your thoughts again.
Zi
Fu、
“Come.”
I heard the old man mook talking while clicking his tongue.
I wanted to ask what that meant, but I tried to ask the old man.
Goo Hee-bi’s shoulders trembled at the energy she felt from the other side of the huge door behind the iron bars
.
It was an instinctive feeling of fear. The
door
opens and someone enters.
One was an old, fierce-looking old man with dark spots all over his face.
The other was a face Gu Hee-bi knew.
how can i forget
That he was the one who brought him here.
Black Night Lord.
One of Sima Wujie and the owner of the Dark Night Palace appeared.
“You’re awake.”
The princess calmly accepts Goo Hee-bi’s glaring gaze and says,
“I’ve been locked up for several days, so how can I not wake up?”
As she tried to keep the fear down, Gu Hui-bi spoke to the princess with a sneer,
and at this the princess raised one eyebrow.
“Gumbong. It sounds like you’ve heard it. Hey, that surname has been like that since ancient times.”
Seeing the figure of the princess approaching little by little.
Goo Hee-bi felt her body tremble slightly.
But I didn’t want to show that side of myself, so I gritted my teeth and
endured it. “Why did you bring me here?”
Gu Hee-bi spits it out like a growl, but the palace lord
looks at Old Man Muk, not Gu Hee-bi.
“Are you ready to tell me now?”
The palace owner’s emotionless voice gives me goosebumps.
It was natural for a warrior who had reached a certain level to feel an unknown presence
.
For some reason, the Dark Night Palace in front of me had a more unknown feeling than that.
At the question of the palace master, the old man laughed.
“Didn’t I tell you to kill me?”
“I can’t do that. You are my hope.”
“I’m not saying that as a boy to be gross.”
“Looks like you still have hope.”
The old man did not respond to the palace owner’s words, but just leaned deeply against the wall.
“That’s why you don’t kill yourself.”
“Does it mean to bite your tongue and die? The young man
has no respect for the old man at all.”
At the old man’s words, laughing and talking, the princess did not speak any further.
I just glance at the old man next to me.
Then the old man came and put his hand on the barbed wire.
Surprisingly, a clap from the door! There was a sound and the door opened by itself.
“Come out.”
He wasn’t referring to anyone, but
Goo Hee-bi could tell that the words were addressed to herself.
Quite.
Goo Hee-bi bites her teeth and glares at the Lord of the Dark Night.
“You ask why did you bring me here?”
The princess stared at Goo Hee-bi. Dark eyes filled with black darkness
.
Goo Hee-bi could feel cold sweat running down her back.
The princess, who had been staring at Gu Hee-bi, opened her mouth.
“Because it is necessary.”
“…For what?”
“Because the Great One needs you.”
great one? Are you
saying that one of Sapa’s absolute leaders, called Sima Oze, has an existence that can be called that
?
“That’s why this palace owner is having these trivial questions and answers with you, and that’s why he
doesn’t bother killing you even though he knows you’re teasing him carelessly.”
So don’t whine my patience any longer. I couldn’t hear the last words, but somehow Gu Hee-bi
thought
that the princess had said that .
“Follow me.”
After speaking, the princess turned her back.
What if I don’t follow Since it was a body with not a single bet left
, it could
easily be dragged away if the princess wished .
The palace lord will be taken by force to Gu Heifei.
He gave me two choices whether to follow me or not.
Even though he knew that the slaughterhouse was in front of him, he urged him to come out on his own.
It is also questionable whether there was a choice in the first place. Behind Ku Hee-bi, who was glaring at the back of the royal family
.
The old man said in a soft voice.
“Are you okay?”
tall.
At the old man’s words, the princess, who had been walking slowly, stopped.
“You don’t look comfortable.”
body?’
Hee-bi Gu looked at the condition of the palace at the words of old man Muk.
From her point of view, there didn’t seem to be any major problems. Where did you see it like that
?
“Where did you go to get hit? You look very sick.”
Old Man Muk spoke as if teasing, but the princess turned her head again and looked ahead.
Then, Gungju continued walking, ignoring the old man’s words.
Goo Hee-bi, who saw this, finally followed the princess with a bite on her teeth.
It’s a really long passage.
It was the same in the prison, but it is a building that almost blocks out the light.
Even while following the princess with her back straight.
Gu Hee-bi remembered what Old Man Muk had said.
-I don’t feel well.
-Where did you get hit?
Regarding this, the princess did not confirm or deny it.
However, it was something anyone who was there could tell that the silence at that time was affirmative
.
‘no way.’ On that day, Yagu Hee-bi
was able to recall
that if the palace owner was not feeling well, the reason was because of the decisive battle with Elder Lee .
Elder Lee, who was fatally wounded by the might of the palace master and collapsed.
From the looks of it, it seemed that the palace owner had crushed this elder with overwhelming force.
In fact, it seems that was not the case.
‘Then the reason why it didn’t appear in front of me for several days…’
Maybe he needed a break so he could walk around pretending to be fine.
It was just an expectation brought to mind by Old Man Muk’s words, but Goo Hee-bi
hoped so.
Then the elder’s sacrifice would not be meaningless.
there will be any possibility
‘Elder Lee…’
At that time, Elder Lee suffered a fatal injury to the point where he was on the verge of life and death.
Maybe it’s something that may not be on this earth right now.
Gu Hui-bi wished that Elder Lee was still alive.
A little bit to walk with your lips rolled up and biting.
Another door appeared in the distance.
Similar to the door I saw in the prison, but a little bigger.
A little darker there.
and.
“.. !”
It’s an insanely creepy door.
“.. Hoo.”
The palace owner saw Goo Hee-bi, whose face was white as she stood tall.
The reaction was mixed with admiration.
“They said it was my job during the latter part of Jisoo, so I definitely feel good about it. Do you feel this?”
Even at the words of the princess, Gu Hee-bi was unable to say anything.
what’s beyond that door It was a feeling
that I couldn’t properly explain to the extent that it couldn’t be compared to when I faced the palace
.
dump.
Just facing the door, Goo Hee-bi sat down as her legs gave out
.
trembling lips.
shaky sight.
to a shaky breath.
Goo Hee-bi didn’t know why she was doing this.
It was clear that what he was feeling right now was fear.
The princess, who had been staring at Gu Hee-bi, whose body was hardened, made a short gesture.
Then, Gu Hee-bi’s body floated up.
If it was the state of the palace, the body of Gu Hee-bi, who could not use a handful of bets,
could be raised with bets.
Goo Hee-bi tried to struggle, but her already hardened body
did not listen.
“Since you seem to have a good sense of it, maybe you, Swordsman, will also be able to know his greatness
.”
“largeness…?”
Cold sweat from fear runs down Goo Hee-bi’s cheeks and drips from her chin.
“Yes, respect for beings of a different class. You should be able to feel this enough
.”
Is it an illusion?
A subtle smile bloomed on the face of the palace princess, who seemed infinitely emotionless
.
From Gu Hee-bi’s point of view, it was clearly close to madness.
“If you can realize that, you too will be happy to be a part of him
.”
A madness big enough to fill the dim black eyes.
The princess leads Gu Hee-bi and slowly approaches the door.
A purple gem was set on the door.
The princess stretched out her hand there.
Cheolgeukduk
drurruk!
An unknown sound came from the door.
Shortly after the sound ended, the palace owner opened the door with force in her hand.
The inside of the door is nothing but darkness.
But Goo Hee-bi knew.
That there is something beyond that darkness.
The fear you feel in your body.
All the darkness around you must be because of something beyond.
“I hope your spark will make him shine more.”
Whoop!
In an instant, the wind blew and Gu Hee-bi’s body was thrown over the door.
“Kuh…!”
Goo Hee-bi’s body, which was blown in, rolls on the floor.
Even though I continued to practice without skipping physical training. Is it not just a bet?
I couldn’t even control my body properly.
Goo Hee-bi, who was barely able to stand up and try to stand up.
He felt that something was approaching him.
Turbuck.
It’s a small, subtle footstep sound.
The darkness filling the surroundings took away even the sight ahead.
.
..
Thanks to that, other senses to feel the surroundings have developed.
Turbuck.
Gu Hee-bi’s body starts to tremble at the sound of footsteps approaching little by little.
This is close to instinct.
It is the instinctive feeling of fear faced by the unknown.
Roaring!
When the sound of footsteps approached your nose.
As if they had been waiting for it, a flame bloomed in the room.
The flame was very small, but purple in color.
The small flame was bright enough to light up the room.
Gu Hee-bi knew that the flame had been lit by a being in front of her.
I lifted my creaking head and looked at the being in front of me.
“.. !”
was a child
Dark black hair that fell down heavily.
A naked body wearing nothing and not eating well, so thin that only bones remained
.
Goo Hee-bi couldn’t help but be surprised to see such a child.
That the true identity of the presence that makes my instincts ring the alarm is that little child.
The palace owner also talked about a different being.
It didn’t matter to Hee-bi Goo now.
An important thing is. The child lit up with a purple flame in one hand, and
the face of the child lifted
her hair to see Gu Hee-bi .
It was that he looked exactly like someone Goo Hee-bi knew.
The child approaches Gu Hee-bi, who is shocked, and stretches out her hand.
Goo Hee-bi flinched and tried to step back.
“book.”
The child said to Gu Hee-bi.
“.. what?”
“book.”
A child who keeps saying only one word.
Then I could see that an old book was in the child’s hand.
Around the time Goo Hee-bi is facing an unknown being.
Someone has arrived in the fog-covered Mudong Mountains.
“.. It doesn’t look dirty, really.”
A boy in a red uniform with a ferocious impression.
Goo Yangchun had to frown as he looked across the fog.
It was because there was too much fog than expected.
Guyangcheon looked around the mountain range and turned around and shouted at someone.
“Ah, why are you calling me left! Write! You were right!”
“ ”
“If I listened to you, it would have been twice as late. know?”
“…sorry.”
A person who appeared together with Gu Yang-cheon, who should have come alone.
A blue-and-white-haired beauty standing there avoiding her gaze as if she had made a mistake.
“But… it would have been closer if we had gone to the left.”
“I’ll turn.”
It was Namgoongbia.
