The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 323
EP.324 Part 2 Chapter 15 - Brothers (5)
* * *
Single priority, single priority, single priority.
After repeating the name in his mind three times, Mokriwon imagined it..
As an impossible possibility, what kind of life would you have lived if you had lived as Danwooseon instead of Mokriwon?.
“Oh, there you are..”
Seo Yeo-ryeong smiled brightly and looked into the distance..
The white lotus leader was heading this way..
Coincidentally, there were two people needed for the painting..
From what I could see, Baekryeongyoju, who cherished his family, must have been a good father. Judging by Dan Ji-seon's personality, he must have been a strong supporter enough to instill in children the fantasy of being an adult..
Seo Yeo-ryeong must have been a mother who could be as childish as she wanted. The way she hugged Dan Ji-seon, the way she worried about her child first over a stranger, the way she showed sincere concern for others who could not have children, and the way she loved her unborn self. Everything was like that, even the point of comforting me..
The relationship between brothers must have been good too..
Dan Ji-seon has high expectations for her younger brother..
The garden of Baekryeongyo Bridge is quiet and beautiful..
Wasn't he a child who played there during the day, ate with his family, chatted about his day, and then fell asleep?.
Wouldn't Seo Yeo-ryeong, who seems a bit playful at times, be a problem?.
At times like that, Dan Ji-seon would pretend to be an adult and scold Seo Yeo-ryeong..
I drew happiness.
However, the moment I imagined it was bittersweet because it would be a happiness that could not come true..
All Mokriwon could do was to look at the irreversible moment in this way..
“My friend!”
“Madam, the person next to me….”
Mo Ri-won, looking at his father in confusion, took the initiative..
Because I didn’t want to force feelings that wouldn’t be understood..
“It is called Mokriwon of the Jungwon Murim Alliance. Is it true that you are the leader of Baekryun??”
The expression on my father's face was tinged with embarrassment at the greeting I gave him, so he wasn't the kind of person who was happy..
I tried not to show it, and I kept trying, so this time was easier than I thought..
“I am the leader of the White Lotus Church. But I came out of nowhere.….”
“What you expect is probably correct. Blood Demon Dancheonhwa. I'm here on business regarding him..”
A look of devastation hangs over his face..
Even if it was just an illusion somewhere, it was truly heartbreaking to know that meeting him made his father sad..
What should I do? If I don't do this, I can't even have a conversation..
“…I'd like to eat inside first.?”
“thank you for your hospitality.”
Mo Liwon struggled to raise the corners of his mouth..
*
The conversation with the White Lotus leader was the same as before..
He expressed deep regret over Dan Cheon-hwa's bloody death..
In fact, he did nothing wrong himself, but he bowed his head to the central government simply because they were blood brothers..
He is a righteous person..
Even Mokriwon knew that..
So I declined his apology and mechanically discussed what to do next..
All I do is engrave the face that I will never see again once I leave here..
It was the same even after.
Quaguagwang―!
There was an attack.
“Teacher! It's a raid!”
The moment he heard the church member's words, he got up with a pale face and ran into the garden..
In times of crisis, family comes to mind first..
Mo Riwon followed him..
The sadness in my heart still could not be erased..
So the garden.
“ma'am! Jiseonah!”
At the same time as his cry,
Phuwak―!
death is coming.
It was a breathtaking sight..
Feelings of endless hatred and anger are directed towards Dancheonhwa approaching from afar..
But nothing can be added.
“father―!”
At the same time as Dan Ji-seon's loud scream, the world rewinds once again..
Hwaak!
Mok Riwon had no choice but to watch the death of his family this time too..
*
Approximately twice more, Mokriwon went through the same process..
Although I learned how to break this illusion long before that, after the death of the second religious leader..
“Jiseonah!”
Seo Yeo-ryeong comes to the garden..
Mok Ri-won, who was facing Dan Ji-seon, saw her approaching..
Carve a face inside.
Then I tell her who is wary.
“It's a pastoral song. I'm from Jungwon.”
Greetings with a fistful of fists, the same thing will happen again in the future.
Seo Yeo-ryeong treated herself with caution, but if she told him about what happened with Dang Hwa-seo, she would immediately feel sympathy and become wary..
Then, he will rely on her warmth and listen to her personal stories, and he will have a conversation with the leader of the White Lotus Cult and see his death..
‘maybe….’
no, definitely.
The way to escape this illusion is to prevent his death..
Furthermore, for Dan Ji-seon, more than anything else, it would be to make the terrible memories that never happened..
You just have to fight.
The reason I didn't do it right away even after knowing it was because I was sad that this moment would end forever..
Now that I can see his face, I selfishly want to get at least enough to engrave it in my heart..
Mok Riwon repeated the same thing and witnessed three more deaths..
Phuwak!
“father!!!”
So it rewound.
It's a garden again.
Mok Ri-won faced young Dan Ji-seon..
“who are you?”
The one asking with a white face is my little brother..
Mo Liwon sank deeply and looked at him with devastated eyes..
Dan Ji-seon flinched in surprise..
Oh, I guess I know right away because his expression has changed..
Mok Riwon laughed bitterly..
Dalssak, I pursed my lips and then closed them..
I was holding back from saying the same thing again..
‘If I repeat the same thing here, I will never be able to leave..’
I humbly admitted that fact..
Probably, the more times you rewind, the more difficult it will be to get out..
It would be correct to say that I am buried..
One more thing, one more thing, won't that kind of feeling only make your obsession with them grow even more?.
It was a terrible vision.
Even though he knows that tragedy is planned, he does not prevent it..
Even so, it just makes you complacent..
Mok Ri-won recalled what Il-un once said..
-You can't give up your obsession. Just accept it and become dull..
I wanted to ask again.
What should I do if I live a time that will never return once this moment is over, if it is so sad that I don't want to let go?.
How much more do you have to struggle with fleeting happiness and unhappiness before you can become indifferent?.
Of course I couldn't hear the answer.
Obviously this was a meaningless question.
Mo Riwon took a deep breath..
I looked at the sky.
It was clear and unpleasant without a single cloud..
It was barely possible to make a decision..
‘stop it.’
I told myself.
I did it so as not to tie me to a past that I couldn't hold on to..
I don't know how to become dull like Ilun.
One, Mokriwon knew how to move forward..
I learned it from someone I love so much..
-Kindergarten.
‘Yes, Master.’
-Being a charlatan means….
…After all, he must be the one walking the most difficult path..
“Look at this.”
Dan Ji-seon finally mustered up the courage to say a word..
Mo Liwon raised the corners of his mouth..
“I'm sorry. I have something to think about.”
Being a charlatan means forcing oneself into the most difficult path, and Mok Ri-won decided to follow suit..
If breaking up was difficult, breaking up would have followed..
If it was the right thing to do, I wanted to erase my hesitation..
However, I felt it would be too unfortunate if I couldn't convey the words I had in my heart, so I told him..
“Have you seen this wicked person?.”
“What are you talking about?…?”
“Why do you think silence is a good answer? The truth cannot be conveyed unless it collides with you..”
Could it be that he was so cruel and tried to carry it all on his own that made him so devastated?.
“How long do you plan to stay in my dream?.”
I put my hand on Dan Ji-seon’s shoulder..
At first, there was a time when Mok Ri-won thought that he would be different from the Dan Ji-seon he knew..
Wouldn't it be harder to assume that he was playing a child?.
However, the situation is like this, so I think about it..
If this is Dan Ji-seon's dream, where on earth is he if not this boy?.
Why does the owner not exist in dreams?.
That was the conclusion that came to be.
“Stop standing up. Stop talking in your sleep.”
That too would have just been buried..
I must have drifted into a certain time zone in my dream and lost myself..
I know because I actually experienced it..
If Mok Riwon had not broken this bond on his own, if he had repeated the same thing in his lingering regret, he might have become the messenger pastor of the Murim League in the central plains..
Dan Ji-seon’s eyes wavered..
He took a step back, and Mo Liwon held him tighter by his shoulders..
made eye contact.
Dan Ji-seon, which Mok Ri-won faced, was trembling with fear..
How can I not know what my fear is for?.
Escaping from the moment you dreamed of would be terribly painful..
Even if the end is tragic, you will want to be satisfied..
Mokriwon said something to him..
“Brother, please allow me to call you that. Look at me, not a dream.”
I spoke with a bitter smile, and only then did Dan Ji-seon's eyes become slightly distorted..
“brother… sir?”
Very slowly, he was coming out of his trance..
