Absolute Regression

Chapter 111

Episode 111 Because I didn’t know.

Extreme Soma was happy.

Although he may have had all kinds of experiences as a Mazon, he would have never been involved in deciding on the successor to the Apostolic Alliance. No, I wouldn’t have even thought there would be anything to get involved with.

“Are you really saying that we should choose a successor?”

“Yes, it is.”

“How do you mean?”

“If we think the current successor, Bisain, is good, we will help him maintain his position as successor, and if we think someone else will benefit us, we will appoint him. “I may be a bit foolish, but I think that the successor to the Apostolic Association should be someone who will thoroughly benefit the church, regardless of their individual character.”

Of course, it must be someone who is beneficial not only to the school but also to me.

“Then we should put the most idiotic person in the seat.”

“No, if we do that, the situation in Murim will become unstable. At the very least, we need to seat someone who can predict what they will do. In any case, if we handle this matter well, we will be a great credit to our school.”

Extreme Soma laughed out loud. It’s a pleasure just to deal with a powerful enemy like Seokgwanchu, but if you make an effort to do so, you will literally kill two birds with one stone.

“Are we finally getting to see Lee Gongja’s world?”

A look of anticipation flashed through his eye sockets.

“no. “This world is still Soma’s world.”

“My world?”

“If Master Soma wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place. “Would I have thought of dealing with the leader of the Apostle League on my own?”

“Are you using the flattery technique again?”

“Why is Xingong called Xingong? “You have to keep honing it for the rest of your life.”

Extreme Soma was amused by my joke. The way things are going is interesting.

Ian and Cheongmyeon were sent to the safe house where Cheonhwaruju was.

Although the order was given to protect Tianhuaruju, there were two other reasons.

First of all, it’s dangerous. Now that it has been revealed that the main enemy is Sado-maeng Dae-ro Seok Gwan-chu, there is no telling which expert will emerge in the future.

The second is because he wants Ian and Cheongmyeon to spend time together. I told Ian. Get what you want. It’s up to Ian whether he can pull it off. I just hope that Ian’s bowl can serve green noodles.

Before leaving, Ian said just one thing to me.

“If you make a mistake, I will die too.”

“Don’t fight thinking you have two lives.”

Cheongmyeon watched the scene and politely bowed his head to Geukaksoma. Extreme Soma didn’t say anything.

I have never seen Geukak Soma and Cheongmyeon, who are blunt towards their subordinates, having a conversation other than official orders.

So I sent the two people to the safe house, and Geukak Soma and I ran to Gyeonggong.

“Where are we going?”

“I’m going to Baekyagok to meet Bisain.”

A while ago, I informed Bisain that the people who tried to kill Extreme Evil Soma were the Blood Beast Five Spirits of the White Night Valley.

Since then, no new news has been heard from Bisain or Baekyagok, which means that Bisain has not yet solved the problem of finding the mastermind in Baekyagok.

* * *

Bisain was drinking at a bar near Baekyagok.

His face was red. It’s not because I’m drunk, it’s because I’m angry. The more I worried, the more ugly the scar on my face became.

He still couldn’t find out who was behind it. It was valuable information received in exchange for a huge amount of money after defeating Baekgye Sangdan in Gwiju, but things did not work out as expected.

Until I came here, I was trying to get the White Night Gokju confessed for trying to kill the evil soma by somehow putting pressure on him and ordering him to kill the evil soma.

If that didn’t work, they tried to force a confession by pushing him. If it was just me and the seven Apostles, even the masters of the White Night Valley and the White Night Valley would have no choice.

However, when they arrived at Baekyagok, Baekyagokju had gone off somewhere. They were here the day before they arrived, but they hastily left the village, taking only their limbs with them.

He tried to find out Baekyagokju’s whereabouts by scaring his subordinates, but they did not know.

I thought he might have heard in advance that he was coming. Secrets keep leaking out.

Bisain emptied his drink again. Suddenly, a sword dance came to mind. When I feel like I’m cornered, I often think of him without realizing it.

‘Useless.’

It was just at that time that Visan was about to drink again, as if trying to shake off the sword dance.

A man wearing a bamboo hat approached the seat where he was sitting. The seven Apostles who were sitting around jumped up and drew their swords.

Then the man who approached took off his bamboo robe and revealed himself.

“It’s been a while.”

The man who came to see him was none other than Geommugeuk. Bisain was really surprised when he appeared while he was thinking about a sword dance performance.

“How did you know I was here?”

Bisain glared at Geommugeuk with a face full of suspicion.

On the other hand, the sword dance performance was calm.

“From the information I gave you, it is natural to guess that it came to White Night Valley. How could you not find it when people are flocking around like this?”

Geommugeuk looked at the 13 Apostles around him. There were eight unmanned people moving around, but it was easy to find where they were.

“Can I sit down?”

“Sure.”

Geommugeuk sat in front of Bisain.

The Bisain ordered the Apostles to sit down. Everyone sat in their seats nervously. Ilang Baekcheolgi sat next to Bisain, ready to draw his sword at any time.

“Why did you come here?”

Although he asked bluntly, Bisain was secretly glad to see the sword dance. I shouldn’t feel that way, but I keep feeling like I’m relying on it.

“I’m here because I have important information to share with you.”

“what?”

“I found out who was behind this.”

For a moment, Bisain was startled. Not only that, not only Baek Cheol-gi but also the other Apostles were all surprised.

“Who is that?”

Geommugeuk did not answer right away.

“I can’t just give away this important information.”

The next moment, Bisain looked at the sword dance with a feeling of regret.

‘You made a big mistake.’

I shouldn’t have said such an important fact here.

The reason was because of the Thirteen Apostles.

Bisain suspected that among these seven apostles following him, there was a spy planted by the person who wanted to kill him.

A lot of things haven’t been going well recently, and I thought it was because the spy was first stealing information from the other side.

This time, when I arrived at Baekyagok, my suspicions were confirmed when I saw that Baekyagokju was away. There was no doubt that someone was relaying information over there.

In this situation, such important information was leaked, so it was only a matter of time before the person behind this information found out.

The reason I sent a message to Geommugeuk the other day was to tell him this and ask for help, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask for help.

He regretted sending the message for no reason. The successor to the Sa Do-Maeng is helpful to the Heavenly Demon’s blood relatives? I don’t know how much I blamed myself for trying to do something so absurd.

“I came from far away and I’m thirsty.”

Geommugeuk held out his glass.

Bisain poured alcohol into Geommugeuk’s glass.

At that moment, the sound of the sword dance flew into Bisain.

?Let’s talk about the details first.

-!

Bisain’s hand that was pouring the drink paused for a moment and then poured it again.

Bisign could tell. That Geommugeuk knows exactly the situation he is in. Bisain’s heart began to beat rapidly at the thought that perhaps the problem he had been worrying about might be resolved.

This is a change after encountering sword dance. This person keeps making his heart beat faster. It keeps making us compare and makes us feel shabby.

‘shit!’

It makes you look forward to it.

That night. A masked person silently landed on the roof of the largest inn in the village.

He hid something under the tile at the end of the roof. There were set rules for sending secret letters. No matter which village you went to, if you hid a secret letter in the corner of the roof of the largest house in that village, there would be someone who would take it and send it as a private message. If it’s in the mountains, the tree to hide it in is set, and if it’s in the field, there’s a set place to bury it.

As I was about to hide the secret letter and quickly leave the place, someone spoke from behind.

“Geommugeuk discovers the identity of the mastermind.”

The masked man looked around in astonishment, and before he knew it, Geommugeuk, who had quietly approached him, had taken out a secret letter he had hidden and was reading it.

Geommugeuk came out from Baekyagok’s residence after confirming that he had fallen asleep while drinking with Bisain.

“I’m a light sleeper. “While I was sleeping, I heard someone sneaking out like a stray cat.”

The masked man instantly realized that this was all a trap. The problem was that I was in a hurry because I thought the information I needed to share was too important.

At that time, the masked person was just trying to run away.

“I will run after you and tell everyone. Among the Thirteen Apostles, the one who is currently away is a traitor. “I’m confident in my ability to do light work, so you won’t be able to get back faster than me.”

The masked man suddenly stopped the new form, and the sword dance provoked him.

“It would be better for you to kill me here and now. “Then at least your identity won’t be revealed.”

The masked man turned towards the sword dance and drew his sword.

The masked man still didn’t say a word. It was because I didn’t know what would happen and I didn’t want to make my voice heard.

There was only one way for things to turn out like this. To kill someone and go back quietly and pretend not to know.

The masked people rushed straight towards the sword dance.

Hiss!

When the two come together, the masked man’s movements were amazing, as expected of a powerful person known to be stronger than Mazon.

Easy profit.

The new form of the masked man instantly narrowed the distance and flew towards Geomgeuk.

visor!

The moment the swords first collided, the masked man’s heart sank. The moment he almost lost his grip on the sword, he knew. It is said that he has superior sword dance skills than himself.

It wasn’t just his endurance that was outstanding.

visor! visor!

His herbivorous skills, which had so easily killed his enemies so far, did not work at all.

His attacks aimed at vital points were, without fail, blocked by Geommugeuk’s sword. I felt like I was doing my best but the opponent was just barely blocking.

Sensing the obvious difference in skill, the masked man launched himself in the opposite direction for the first time in a dozen times. I only thought that I could survive if I ran away like this.

Right then!

Peeing!

puck!

His thigh was pierced by the blowing earth wind.

Screaming out loud, he rolled around on the floor and then jumped up. The person who got down and blocked the way was none other than Extreme Soma.

“A man turns his back on a fight? “Aren’t you embarrassed?”

The masked person’s eyes turned red from shame.

Before we knew it, a sword dance performance had arrived in the back. The problem was that the people who appeared here were not these two people.

“Yukrang!”

The masked man’s heart sank as he heard the voice calling him.

Bisain and the rest of the Apostles appeared.

The masked person was none other than Yukrang, the sixth apostle. Their leader, Ylang Baek Cheol-gi, was really angry.

“Did you really betray me?”

Baek Cheol-gi couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes. If someone were to choose among the thirteen Apostles in the order in which they were most likely to betray, the first person they would pick was Yukrang.

“Why on earth is this happening? “Didn’t you know that the Thirteen Apostles should not get involved in politics?”

Yukrang took off his mask.

“Why not?”

“what?”

“Why do we have to live by rules that we don’t even know who set?”

“You bastard, then what more did you want from living as a warrior? “If you didn’t want to live a life like this, you shouldn’t have sworn loyalty in the first place!”

“Because I didn’t know. Because I didn’t know that I would end up living such a pathetic life despite my lifelong martial arts skills! “I didn’t know that life would be like this, rushing around to protect one grand duke!”

For a moment, Bisain’s expression hardened. He didn’t know Yukrang was following him around with that kind of heart. Do others feel the same way?

Ylang shouted at him.

“Stop making excuses! What did they give you? “What on earth are you giving me to get out of this pathetic life?”

Yukrang could not answer. It wasn’t something to say to Ilang or to other colleagues. I couldn’t bear to say that I had been promised a huge amount of money and a high position.

“I am not a traitor. “I was just trying to find my life!”

Yookrang made a loud noise and chose a partner to marry. The person he chose was Geommugeuk.

“This is all because of you!”

Yukrang launched his body towards the sword dance.

Even when I wasn’t excited, I was no match for him, but now I was even injured.

Right at that time when I was pouring out my passion for the sword dance.

Phew!

The blade protruded through his back and into his chest.

When Yukrang slowly turned his head, Bisain was standing behind him.

“… This is all because of you.”

In response to Yukrang’s resentment, Bisain spoke bluntly.

“I heard it was because of Lee Gongja.”

Bisain pulled out his sword as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.

Under the moonlight, a fountain of blood spurted from Yukrang’s body. If he had stood still, the sword dance would have covered him with blood, but he dodged to the side. This fight was, after all, a family fight within the Sado League.

Bisain asked Geomugeuk while holding a sword dripping with blood in his hand.

“Now tell me who is behind it.”
