Chapter 402
Episode 402 Some guy drinks in broad daylight.
“What I want to say is…….”
I was curious about what Ian's answer would be for Hanseol and Geommugeuk. Because her coming forward wasn't planned in advance..
Ian calmly conveyed his sincerity..
“Please trust our leader..”
Surprise flashed across Han Seol’s face, who rarely showed emotions. Because I really didn't know that a subordinate of Su Jiao would say something like that..
“I know it's difficult to trust each other..”
“But why did you say that??”
Ian answered softly to Han Seol’s cold question..
“Because in this world, there is something that transcends everything..”
It was an answer that exceeded Han Seol’s expectations from beginning to end..
Hanseol's gaze turned to the sword dance..
“Is that transcendent being Sogyoju??”
“is it so. It may sound like a crazy bitch to Lord Sogung, but.”
Hanseol, who was looking at Ian, looked at the sword dance. Now, you explain to me this crazy bitch, she had this look in her eyes..
Of course, it was not a sword dance that would be followed obediently as intended..
“This is how I receive the respect of my subordinates..”
Han Seol glared at the sword dance as if piercing it..
Originally, she did not believe in the rumored myth of sword dance drama. But after listening to Ian, my suspicions have now become confirmed..
‘Maybe it's really fabricated.’
Otherwise, there would be no way for a subordinate to tell him to believe in his leader because he is a ‘transcendent being.’ Either he was brainwashed, he was given orders, or he was just plain crazy. Whatever it was, it didn't suit the hero who was changing the landscape of martial arts..
“It's hard to start, but once you get used to it, anything becomes easier, right? So, Sogungju, just commit the crime.!”
Geommugeuk’s gaze turned to Ian..
“Just like that kid right now..”
Ian bowed his head. He's the type of person who says that no matter what he does, so he can have accidents like this..
Ian gathered courage and spoke once more.
“Please believe in Lord So. You will never regret it.”
Han Seol snorted coldly and turned around, saying goodbye to Geommugeuk..
“Let's call again.”
When she left, Ian sighed..
“I ruined everything?”
“Transcendence was a bit too much.”
“Those words came out without me even realizing it. I don't know why I wanted to help that cold person..”
Isn’t it you who came this far after getting a glass of water??
I already knew the answer to Geommugeuk..
Ian found the answer in the surrounding scenery..
While I was dealing with the Northern Blood Gate, I couldn't see anything around me, but after meeting Geommugeuk, I started to see the scenery..
“I guess it was because the snow scenery I saw for the first time in a long time was beautiful..”
* * *
“Sogyoju has made a new suggestion..”
Hanseol acted differently from what he said to Geommugeuk..
“Instead of giving up the Northern Blood Gate's control, he asked to stay at the main palace for a while. And I accepted the offer.”
He told Geommugeuk that he would discuss it with Binggungju, but he said it as if he was informing his mother that he had accepted it. I didn't do this because Ian told me to trust the sword dance..
I was curious about my mother's reaction. How will you react when you make your own decision?.
I expected her to react angrily or coldly, but unexpectedly, Binggungju was calm..
Hanseol answered the look in Binggungju's eyes that asked the reason..
“Because the priority is to seek restraint from the Northern Blood Gate..”
“No, tell me the real reason you accepted. Isn't that the first reason??”
That is correct. Because it was my mother who made a secret pact with the Northern Blood Lord. There was a reason that preceded the life and death of those who were captured..
“wanted to check.”
“what?”
How will my mother react to my dogma?.
But she gave another reason.
“In my eyes, So Jiyo-ju was a different person than the rumors said. So I wanted to take a closer look and see if he really was such an amazing person. and…….”
There were other reasons besides not spreading false rumors..
“Aren’t you curious if Wonju was really murdered as they think? who killed that person?”
Binggungju looked at his daughter in silence. I thought I would say something when I saw how different he was from usual..
“Take care of this matter yourself..”
“Thank you, palace lord..”
Han Seol bowed politely and went down to the palace hall..
Binggungju walked to the window and looked outside. The snow-covered scene of the ice palace was the same as yesterday, but today I was looking at it with a different mindset..
* * *
Yang Il, who was listening to the iron gate, sighed..
The person in the front room was dragged away and did not return..
Mr. Lim, who was with him, was also taken away and has not returned for several days. It also seemed unlikely that they would be resting in a clean and comfortable place. If that were the case, I wouldn't have been trapped in this dark prison in the first place..
“Hyuna, Minah.”
Tears formed in Yang Il’s eyes. He had never shed a tear in his life..
I missed my children so much.
I didn't know it when we were together, but as I thought I might never see them again, all I could think about was the children..
My wife, who is already so worried, probably can't sleep at night right now..
They brought me here with a smile, but they didn't even allow me to send them a letter saying they had arrived..
The reason I came here was because my doctor said he was testing a newly developed drug. At the largest clinic in town, people were gathered together and various tests were conducted. A lot of people gathered because they gave money worth a few days' worth just to get tested..
And only two people in the village, myself and Mr. Lim, had the constitution they wanted..
They said they would give me a lot of money if I participated in the experiment for two or three months. At the current level of income, it would take several years of work to earn it..
My wife stopped me saying it was dangerous. There was a risk of harm to the body, and giving too much money was suspicious. Besides, they were foreigners..
But after thinking about it, I decided to go for both days..
There are some people who want to go but cannot because their constitution does not suit them..
Moreover, the people who inspected the body were very polite and gentle. He honestly told me that in some cases, it could be harmful to my health. So I actually had more trust..
Even though he and his wife worked hard, they had trouble saving money. If you think you've saved a little, you'll have something to use, and if you think you've collected it stubbornly, you'll have something to use again..
I planned to open at least a small store if I received a lump sum of money. Although he lived his life doing all kinds of dirty work, he did not want his children to live that kind of life..
Will the children be able to endure the hardships they are going through? His wife told him to trust the children, but Yang Il couldn't. No, I didn't want to put you through this kind of trouble. Just one small shop to support a family of four! please!
But after leaving home, I felt something was wrong..
Instead of people coming out of the clinic taking them, they were escorted by warriors wearing swords..
They ended up in the North Sea instead of where they were supposed to go, and were locked in a secret mountain cabin instead of a room. Not only was it not allowed to go out, it was not allowed to enter or leave the door. Then, this place, which was recently moved, was completely decorated like a prison..
‘I should have listened to my wife..’
At that time, an unmanned person opened the iron door and came in..
“let's go.”
On both days, my heart sank. It's finally your turn.
My heart started beating like crazy..
‘Am I going to die now? I can't die like this.’
Should I attack this drone in front of me and run away? At least headbutt me?
However, it is not easy even for an ordinary person, but the opponent was a military officer. No matter how well-trained you are from construction work, you cannot deal with an unmanned person..
Yang Il was dragged out..
As I walked down the hallway, I couldn't feel any gazes. Originally, there were people in the front room, people in the next room, and people in the room next to that. But those who were taken did not come back..
‘I am the last one!’
The place I was taken to was a place full of all kinds of unidentifiable objects. There was a strange medicine smell that I had never smelled in my life..
And in the middle of the room there was a bed made of jade..
The military person brought in said to Yang Il:.
“Take off your clothes and lie down on the bed. Take everything off without leaving anything behind.”
When Yang Il hesitated, the military officer glared at him coldly, as if he would not speak twice..
Yang Il took off his clothes with a sudden rush. Should I rush in now, overpower him, and run away! My instincts screamed like that, but my body, which had never fought with anyone in my life, was not faithful to my instincts..
Build houses, build roads, and build embankments. Although he worked rough and hard all his life, he had a gentle personality and never once hit anyone..
Yang Il lay down in bed. The bed was much colder than expected. The unmanned person tied Yang Il's arms and legs with leather ropes attached to the bed so that he could not move..
When he was ready, the door opened and four people came in..
It was a middle-aged man wearing a blue jangsam and three warriors escorting him. One of the warriors was wearing a mask, and his eyes were more intense than those of the middle-aged man in blue clothes..
A middle-aged man came over and looked down at Yang Il. His eyes were colder than the chill of the bed I felt on my back..
I prayed earnestly on both days. I didn't know what kind of test they were taking, but I hoped that I was the one who passed it..
‘Please just save me!’
There was no need for money anymore. If only I could return alive. So if I could just see my wife and kids again.
The middle-aged man began his examination in earnest..
As he manipulated the bottom of the bed, it started to get colder..
“Ugh!”
It was so cold that I couldn't help but moan. I felt like I was going to freeze to death if things continued like this..
“Please save me!”
In response to Yang Il’s plea, the man spoke coldly..
“There is only one in a thousand of these people who are born with a cold body. If you are a cold body, you will survive..”
Yang Il was in despair. Doesn't that mean that if you are not one of a thousand people, you will die??
It was right then. The middle-aged man in the room wrinkled his nose..
“But what is this smell??”
The smell was coming in through a small hole in the iron door..
“It smells like alcohol.”
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly hardened..
“What kind of person drinks alcohol in broad daylight??”
One of the three drones standing went out..
“I will check.”
The unmanned person opened the door and went out. He was surprised when he checked the hallway. It felt like there was fog in the hallway ahead..
‘what?’
There is no way this kind of fog can form indoors.?
Sensing an unknown danger, the warrior drew his sword..
In an instant, fog rolled in. The smell of alcohol was wafting from this fog..
‘Smell of alcohol in the fog? Then this!’
It was a cycle..
Not only those who were weak to alcohol, but even those who were strong against alcohol were so intoxicated that it was difficult for them to control themselves. It was such an intense cycle that I thought this might be what it would feel like if the dam where the liquor was stored broke and the water spilled to your knees..
At that moment, before I could feel it coming closer, an arm with a fist sticking out of the fog came out..
I hit my fist lightly, but the warrior flew off and fell into the wall, losing consciousness..
The person who emerged from the fog was none other than Chuma..
The cycle was wrapped around his body like a self-defense device. It was just an ordinary fog now, but it was actually a cycle of intoxication that changed into any shape..
He opened the door and entered where the unmanned person came from..
Easy profit.
Sensing that the situation outside was unusual, another warrior threw his sword at Chwima..
Chwima easily dodged the flying sword, and this time lightly struck the warrior's neck with the blade of his hand. I hit it hard, but the fallen warrior couldn't get up..
Whirlpool Current.
The fog-like cycle that filled the outer hallway gathered around Chuma and shimmered around his body like a haze..
The middle-aged man of the Qing Dynasty looked at Qu Ma with a surprised face. His two subordinates were not skilled enough to be defeated so easily. That means the opponent's martial arts skills are really strong..
But he did not despair yet. Among the three warriors, the real one was the masked man..
Chwima glanced at the two people and then looked at Yang Il lying on the bed. He was frozen so cold that it felt like he was going to die at any moment..
It was a situation where the masked man could surprise him if he paid attention to him, but Chuma didn't care at all. Even though Chu Ma turned his back to watch the two days, the masked man did not dare to attack. I felt like the cycle of intoxication pulsating around my body was watching me..
After Chuma untied the leather binding Yang Il, he grabbed his wrist. As the hot energy flowed in, Yang Il exhaled peacefully and came to his senses..
Even after confirming the opponent's skills, the middle-aged man quietly warned..
“Do you know who we are? If you leave like this, your life will be saved..”
Then Chwima obediently revealed his identity. Since the North Sea Ice Palace knew that the Heavenly Demon Church was involved in this incident anyway, there was no reason to hide it..
“I'm addicted.”
“!”
The middle-aged man froze and became contemplative. The masked person's expression also became hard..
“why do you?”
If it weren't for the trick I just showed my subordinate, if it weren't for the situation where I couldn't find an opening even if I turned my back, I would never have believed it..
But it was clear that he was intoxicated. This deep cycle and scent that is gently exuded is an energy that cannot be imitated unless you are intoxicated..
No, apart from all that. This man in front of me was revealing a presence that could not be dared to be approached..
Yang Il was just as surprised as they were..
This person is the master of the famous Demonic Cult Palmazon? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know them? There is even a saying that when children cry, Mazon comes and catches them..
“Is there a person named Yang Il among those brought in??”
Yang Il was surprised when Chwi Ma found him..
“I am on both days. close.”
He had never been personally involved with a third-rate warrior in his life, but Mazon was looking for him. how do you know my name?
“Thank goodness. Because my goal was to save you..”
Yang Il couldn't understand this situation at all..
‘Mazon came to save me?’
It felt like I was dreaming. He looked down at the bed..
‘Oh, am I dreaming right before I die??’
The real person was frozen to death in bed, and at the last moment, he thought that he might just be dreaming this..
But it was too vivid to be called a dream or fantasy. Even now, the bed I’m sitting on is so cold that my butt hurts..
“Are you saying you came to save me? Why does a noble person call me?”
Yang Il’s voice trembled. I came here for something else, but I thought it was a situation where I was saving myself..
Then a surprising answer came out of Chuma's mouth. It was probably the most surprising thing Yang Il had ever heard in his life..
“Your wife asked for it. Bring my husband home.”
“!”
Yang Il was so surprised that his eyes widened. How could a wife ask Majon like this??
“Are you my wife? My wife has never gone out of town since she married me.…….”
Soon Yang Il shook his head. This can't happen.
‘Oh, I'm already dead. Wife, thank you for saving me even in my dreams. Raise your children well and live well. I'm sorry for not being with you till the end.’
Meanwhile, the dream-like reality continued..
“I don't drink alcohol so I'm a little nervous..”
Chuma had not yet drank the ice wine containing Wonju after putting it into the blood vessel. When she killed the person who killed her, she planned to drink that ice wine and kill him. So that she can share her moment of revenge.
“Is it dangerous when I drink alcohol? Is it dangerous if you don't drink it??”`
