Chapter 54
Episode 54 It's not mysterious because I'm embarrassed.
The night was quiet and desolate.
When I entered Hyecheon Doma's residence, he was sitting by the window reading a book..
“It's the most incongruous look in the world..”
Hyeolcheondoma raised his head in surprise. Joy spread across my surprised face..
“I'll have to scold those who stand guard..”
“Don't do that. I came in secretly because I wanted to see the old man quietly..”
He looked at my movements and asked with a puzzled expression:.
“Have you just returned to school??”
“yes.”
“Did you come back and visit me first??”
“I'm sorry to ruin your emotions, but your father goes to bed early..”
“anyway!”
“Yes, that's right. The first thing that came to mind was the old man..”
Then he shook the bottle of alcohol he had brought. It was a drink that Hyeolcheondoma enjoyed drinking..
He drank alcohol at his residence..
All the subordinates who guarded the place so as not to be disturbed were bitten..
“It's already been two months since you left church??”
“Less than two months ago.”
During this mission, I was able to shorten the time on my way back by improving my speed..
“Is Inspector Seo’s martial arts training going well??”
“A guy the size of a rat is working really hard..”
The words ‘pretty hard’ came out of Hyecheondoma’s mouth. This unfamiliar expression clearly showed what their relationship was like now..
“Even though he looks crooked, his heart is straight..”
“I've never been crooked before?”
“He is also the type of guy who looks at where to lie down and stretches his legs..”
You will probably be noticed a lot while working hard, and in the meantime, you will still be saying everything you need to say. It seems that Hyeolcheon Doma doesn't dislike that guy that much..
“But at first glance, I saw that the book you were reading was a poetry collection. Are you really reading poetry??”
“why? I guess I'm not good at reading poetry?”
“I don't know the level, but at least it doesn't suit me..”
“I also liked books when I was young. I just forgot about it for a while.”
It's hard to imagine the younger days of this skinny and strict-looking person..
“What were you like when you were young??”
“what… … It was dark and gloomy.”
“It was similar to the investigator..”
For some reason, Hyeolcheondoma nodded obediently..
“What if it’s like this, what if it’s like that? It's a time that has passed anyway..”
Hyeolcheondoma emptied his drink. I filled his empty glass without saying a word. There are no words to comfort me with my regret over the past years. Because it happened to me once too..
“Did your trip go well??”
“yes.”
“There's going to be a storm again.”
Is it because I read some kind of confidence in the answer of “yes” that I am saying this??
“I think you went out for some reason.?”
“It's going to cause a bloody storm..”
“You have a serious misunderstanding of me. i like peace.”
“I like peace too. That quiet, bloody peace that comes after everything has been brought down with my own hands..”
I smiled and drank..
“It was nice to get out after a long time. Next time, why don’t you go out for some fresh air with me??”
“Because there are a lot of people who want to kill me when I go out... … I just feel comfortable being at my school..”
He poured a drink into my glass and continued talking..
“I don't know what you're doing, but be careful. In the battle for succession, if you mess up once, it's over..”
“What will you do if I mess up??”
“What to do? I guess I'll have to give the archduke another line..”
“You're cool..”
“It's natural. What would you do if your body was dead and you were only flapping your wings? I have to go find another body..”
If it was a blood chopping block, it would really be like that. After feeling sad for a day or two, he will show kindness to the Archduke as if he had never done so before. What's surprising is that even when I imagine something like that, I don't feel so hateful..
This is the advantage of the Hyeolcheon cutting board. There is no need to worry about whether this person is a good person or a bad person, whether he will help me until the end or betray me. If I break down, he's the one who will leave, or if I don't, he's the one who will stay by my side..
“please do me a favor.”
“What is it?”
“Please drink with me today and all night long..”
“It's not difficult.”
I got up from my seat..
“Where do you go after drinking??”
“I'll buy some more alcohol and prepare some snacks..”
“Just let the kids do it..”
“There is something I want to buy..”
I plan to make some amazing snacks for this drinking party. My snack prepared over the past two months.
I decided to kill the Soul Mazon today. No one would think that he would be killed the day he returned from his expulsion..
And I will be the one who drank blood and alcohol all night long. Because he will be a witness to my deeds.
“I'll be back soon.”
After leaving the abode of the Blood Heavenly Demon, I unleashed my secret power and launched myself toward the west..
* * *
The soul mazon was excited today..
It was a heart therapy that happens every time, but strangely my heart was beating fast..
‘Maybe it's because it's been a while?’
It was the first Heart and Soul Dabeop since Geommugeuk came and threatened to stop Dabeop..
Because he threatened me by mentioning the Heavenly Demon, I had no choice but to stop practicing Mind and Soul for a while..
Of course, it would be okay if I didn't get caught, but I felt uncomfortable because the other person was already convinced of the Heart and Soul method..
The news that Geommugeuk was excommunicated only heightened suspicion. Because it seemed like a ploy to reassure oneself and then find evidence..
However, my patience reached its limit and I finally resumed the Heart and Soul Treatment today..
Whenever I did heart-and-soul meditation with a gap like this, I always chose a child. Because at times like this, a young heart is the most delicious..
The Subsoul Mazon, who was going down the stairs leading to the secret room, glanced back. I felt like something was following me for no reason, and my mind wasn't stable today..
But there's no way there's being followed. This was because the secret art of dark spirit, where one's own shadow protects one's back, was unfolding. He assured. Except for the Heavenly Demon, there is no one in this church who can secretly stand behind his back..
The Soul Mazon entered the secret room..
The walls were covered with all kinds of bizarre patterns and letters, and incense with a unique smell was burning everywhere..
A child was sleeping on the central altar in a secret room..
A smile appeared on the lips of the Subsoul Mazon as he looked down at the child. The moment he reached out his hand to wake the child, someone grabbed him by the hair..
‘!’
The Soul Mazon tried to counterattack, but the opponent was moving faster..
match!
The soul mazon's head turned after being slapped on the cheek..
Only after helplessly allowing the cheek, I was able to swing my double sword and escape from the opponent's grasp..
The other person spoke coldly to the Subsoul Mazon who took a step back..
“I told you not to do it?”
Only then did the Soul Mazon know who had hit him. It was a sword dance..
The Soul Mazon caressed his cheek with an expression of disbelief. No matter how surprising it was, it was impossible, shocking, and shameful..
“How on earth did they get in??”
“Because you're embarrassed, you're not mysterious at all..”
For a moment, the Soul Mazon was shocked. Normally, he would deceive people with his voice. The sound echoed, repeated, and even whispered.
But now the ordinary guy next door looked angry..
“Is this your essence??”
He looked like he was going to get angry, but after taking a deep breath, he regained his composure..
“Even though I misread the science and technology, I guess I was wrong for a long time. Even if it's true, it's cheap.”
His voice rang out as he repeated the words, “It’s cheap even if you get hit.” He regained his usual self.
“You're more like yourself now. This is how it tastes like death. I was disappointed to see you like that earlier..”
The soul mazon was unfazed..
“Professor Lee, answer my question first. How on earth did you get here??”
“I followed you in.”
You might think what I said was a lie, but my answer was true..
The Soul Mazon always had his back with the dark spirit secret arts. It might not be possible if the Wind God Sabot had achieved great success, but it was not yet possible to avoid his dark spirit secret techniques and use the dark spirit treasure..
However, when I put the Blood Stabilizing Essence in my eyes, I saw the dark spirit secret art's destruction method, and the moment I destroyed it, my dark spirit treasure was used. Rather, it was like I was hiding in his shadow..
“What does it matter how I got in? It doesn't matter why you came in.”
Even in this situation, Seobhonmazon pulled it off..
“If you are still going to attack the Heart and Soul, then go away. Because I don’t know that kind of method.”
“So who is this kid??”
“Poor orphan. I brought you here to teach you martial arts..”
“you are a coward.”
“what?”
This time I imitated him..
“coward, coward, coward…….”
my voice rang like an echo.
“stop!”
I shot back coldly at his cry..
“How long are you going to pretend not to know? Does your courage only come from taking the heart out of the body of the weak??”
The soul mazon's pupils instantly became as small as dots..
The surroundings darkened and then became bright, creating a new space..
I was standing on the edge of a cliff.
Hehehe.
The wind from behind tried to push me off the cliff..
“Have you forgotten my warning? If you see me again, I'll tell you that you'll never be able to return to the original world..”
His voice sounded eerie, like a haunting sound..
The Soul Mazon created an atmosphere of fear, but I stood tall and wasn't afraid at all..
“I guess I can't stand being scared if I don't scare the other person like this..”
“It's really amazing. Even if he is the son of a religious leader, how can he show such spirit at his age??”
His eyes were busy exploring me by repeatedly getting bigger and smaller..
“You came to kill me?”
“okay.”
“What on earth do you believe??”
The words “what to believe” were repeated like an echo. The current echo was not meant to mock me, but to show that his mind was agitated..
Then, as the echo died down, he asked.
“Did the religious leader send it??”
This time, it was a question without any other noise. It would be difficult to think that I would do something like this on my own..
“If they had tried to kill you, your father would have come in person. I don't know my father's personality?”
As the Soul Mazon nodded, the surroundings became noisy again. His mumbling, the sound of the wind, and all kinds of strange sounds were mixed together. It felt like it was revealing his mental world..
“I'm going crazy so let's talk quietly..”
“This is Confucius’ will, and we must listen to it..”
The surroundings became dark and then bright again..
He and I were sitting across from each other in a pavilion with a beautiful view. There was even lukewarm tea on the table in between..
“scientist.”
His original voice, he is back as an ordinary man.
“If we have to kill each other, let's talk openly one last time..”
“That's right.”
“We are Mine. It is also a mazon that reigns over all demons. Is our life so easy that we give choices to the weak? What's wrong with sucking the hearts of those weak things to become stronger? Isn't greed our right? All my choices were for the Heavenly Demon Church.!”
If Hwamugi had not come and I had continued to live at the main school, I might have pretended not to have seen this soul mazon. So, if only our school could become stronger, I might have tried to pretend not to notice, using this cause as an excuse..
But my fate has changed. The person I was then and the person I am now are completely different people..
The person who tried to become stronger by taking out the child's heart became someone who could not drink tea or drink alcohol in the same place. I became a person who could not breathe the same air..
“It's a lie.”
“what?”
“The reason you stole the heart was not for the sake of our school. Just so you can survive for a long time. That's how it is now and it will always be that way..”
If he was truly a person who supported the school, he would have taken revenge after his father passed away. But his choice was to survive the longest among the Palmazons. Thousands of innocent lives are lost in his tough and long life..
“For only myself, for only myself... … you have become a monster.”
The Soul Mazon, who was staring at me, came to one conclusion..
“There's no way a kid in his twenties or so could understand me so accurately. You can't follow me to avoid the dark spirit secret arts, and you can't touch my body. you… … Not a scientist.”
The Soul Mazon's pupils, which had been repeatedly growing and shrinking, began to change color. A dazzling purple wave began to flutter from his eyes..
A purple glow radiated into my eyes and penetrated into my soul beyond..
he asked. His question was deep and heavy, like a rumbling from the abyss..
“who are you?”
