Absolute Regression

Chapter 127

Episode 127 He always smells like alcohol.

The next person I visited was Hyeolcheon Doma.

After his father, his steps naturally turned to him.

I thought he was reading a book by the window of his room, but he was practicing Taoism in the yard, brandishing the Blade of Death. When he realized that I had come, he withdrew the Tao.

“Are you here?”

I greeted him casually, as if I had seen him yesterday. It was a reunion like every other island in the world where you could feel the passion because it wasn’t very passionate.

“Reading a book is cool, but wielding a sword is even cooler.”

“Why are you flattering me?”

“I survived thanks to my elders.”

I spread the front hem of my clothes to show the courtesy that Hyeolcheondoma had given me.

There were several cracks from being cut by the sword. It was like a trace left by Geomhwang Baekmanggi.

“Thanks to you, I survived. “Thank you, old man.”

Of course, Geukpumcheonjamsa also played a part. The two pieces that overlapped saved my life.

Hyeolcheon Doma came closer and saw the traces left by the sword. The look in his eyes was clearly relief.

“You were worried about me, right?”

“Why worry! I saw it because I was worried that my precious treasure might have been ruined. It’s okay, you can keep using it.”

You can tell without even looking. I would never have told my story to Seo Dae-ryong. I was so worried.

“The rumors were true.”

“What rumor are you talking about?”

“The rumor is that Black Emperor Baekmang-gi is dead.”

His death was information that had not yet been officially revealed to the outside world.

“Did he know about swordsmanship?”

Then, Hyeolcheondoma shook his head.

“But why do you think these traces are Baekmanggi’s traces?”

“If it weren’t for Baek Mang-gi, you and the extreme evil would not have been able to join forces and leave behind a sword like this.”

“How did you know that I had joined forces with Extreme Soma?”

“Follow me.”

Then, Hyeolcheondoma took me into the house.

Then he took something out of the closet and threw it at me.

Surprisingly, it was a white mask worn by masked criminals.

It wasn’t an ordinary mask either, but an exquisite product used by Extreme Evil Soma. If it was light, it would allow air to pass through, especially since you couldn’t see the snow from outside.

“Did you fight with Extreme Soma and kill that person?”

“How could the guy who wanted to kill me be the kind of guy who would die so easily?”

“But why is this coming out of the old man’s closet?”

“What did Extreme Soma say?”

“I came back and I haven’t met Extreme Soma yet. “I stopped by Cheonmajeon and came straight to see you.”

“You didn’t go to the villain song first?”

“Of course you have to come to the elder first. Why do you think you went to Extreme Soma first?”

Then an unexpected answer came out.

“The evil Soma has visited.”

“To you? “What did you say when you came?”

“You left that with me. “Tell me when you come.”

“You left this to the elders? why?”

“That’s what I want to ask. “Why did you entrust this unlucky thing to me?”

Hyeolcheondoma looked at me with suspicious eyes.

It looks like Ian took what was given to me and remade it. When I returned to school, I made it to the highest quality and gave it to them.

“What kind of trick is this?”

“You should have asked this question to Extreme Soma back then.”

“I did.”

“Because you do it?”

“I just left and told you to give it to me. “What on earth are you doing?”

“I guess they were afraid that it might get lost if they left it to someone else.”

“Is there someone at our school who lost the items he entrusted to us? “I’m going to get rid of the heirloom and put this mask in its place.”

I laughed out loud, but Hyeolcheondoma did not laugh. He realized that something had happened between me and Extreme Soma.

“Well, since I went out with you, something must have happened. “What on earth happened?”

“You promised to give me a mask.”

“why?”

“I’ll tell you, it’s a long story. “I will tell you everything if you want.”

“That’s it. “What are you going to do after hearing that story?”

“The reason I entrusted the mask to you was to show off our closeness and drive a wedge between you and me.”

“so why?”

How could the quick-witted Hyeolcheondoma not know the intention? Hyeolcheon Doma wants to know the reason for the estrangement.

“I don’t know either. “How can I know his inner thoughts?”

After a moment, Hyeolcheondoma spoke.

“If you believe in Extreme Soma, you will regret it later.”

It wasn’t something that came from feelings like jealousy. It was a warning that it was dangerous to accompany Extreme Soma on the path we had to take.

“I don’t trust him.”

The Hyeolcheondoma stared at the mask in my hand with its small, narrow eyes.

“Indeed…”

He didn’t say anything more, but you can guess what he was trying to say.

Will it really work out the way you want? Why is Extreme Soma reacting so actively?

I guess he just didn’t bother to say it because he was afraid that if he said it, it would seem like he was paying attention to the evil Soma.

“Why do you hate extreme soma?”

“Go ask him. Does he like me? Same with each other. “Why on earth are there such hateful people at our school?”

I laughed again. ‘Isn’t that because of the old man’s personality?’ The words rose up in my throat, but I held back and swallowed them. How could he say that because he doesn’t know his own nature?

“Now I have to talk about my ugly guy. In the meantime, did your brother visit you again?”

Hyeolcheondoma shook his head.

“I haven’t answered you since you came to visit me earlier. “The Archduke would have taken that as a clear rejection.”

“As expected, I feel reassured.”

“Don’t let your guard down. “Because I am someone who can go to the Archduke at any time.”

“Then I guess I’ll go with you.”

“What does it mean?”

“If the wings attached to my body fly away, I will go with them, right?”

Hyeolcheondoma made a bewildered expression.

“As long as you wear that unlucky mask, your wings will soon fall off.”

Even if he says that, he is a person who will not go to Hyeolcheon Doma easily. Even if the extreme evil Soma causes conflict, they are widely accepted. That’s why the first person I came to was this Hyeolcheon Doma.

“Even if you go to your older brother, I will still visit you. “I will open the door where the operation to get rid of me is in full swing and look for you.”

“why?”

“That’s because I want to see you. “I will want to see you then too.”

“You’re flattering me again.”

Hyeolcheondoma snorted in excitement, but still couldn’t hide that he was in a good mood. Now the door of his heart is quite open and I can see him smiling inside. Yes, it looks good. Smile a little like that.

“Then I’ll see you again. “Let’s have a drink at Ilil Pungryu Bar.”

As I stood up and said goodbye, Hyeolcheondoma asked:

“Are you going to Extreme Soma?”

“I received your gift, so I should say hello.”

“Even if it wasn’t a gift, you would have gone, right?”

“Probably so.”

I didn’t necessarily lie to Hyecheon Doma. Always be honest. Always be honest, no matter how uncomfortable or unpleasant the content may be. I believe that this is the greatest strength in not losing the Hyeolcheon Doma.

That’s probably why Hyeolcheon Doma is giving this advice sincerely.

“I don’t know what happened when I went out, but an extremely evil soma is, after all, an extremely evil soma. “You must never forget that.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

After leaving the place of the Blood Heavenly Demon, I went straight to meet the Extremely Evil Demon.

I put on the mask given to me by Extreme Evil Soma and entered the Wicked Valley.

The eyes of the absent-minded visitors were focused on me. They all seem to be the same white masks, but Extreme Evil Soma’s mask has its own mark. Everyone was surprised to see that I was wearing the mask that their Mazon wore.

While receiving such surprised looks, I was led to the Extreme Evil Soma’s room.

His room was the same as when I visited before.

There was still nothing in the room, which was painted white not only on all four walls but also on the floor. Tables and cabinets. There was only Extreme Soma standing in an empty space.

There was only one difference from then.

When he first came he was looking at the wall, but today he was looking out the window.

“I’m here, Soma-sama.”

Then, Extreme Soma turned around. When he saw me wearing a mask, his eyes showed joy in their sockets.

“What if I go?”

“great. “It’s incomparably better than the previous one.”

“Then that’s it.”

“Why did you entrust this to old man Thomas?”

“I heard you two are best friends.”

“So?”

“I hate to see Lee Gongja being close to someone other than me. “I don’t know, but that petty old man must be paying attention.”

I asked, putting the mask over my head.

“If you’re close, do you have to be the closest to get rid of your anger?”

“you’re right. That’s my personality. From now on, you must be best friends with me. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the Archduke.”

“Soma-sama’s selfishness has been accepted.”

Extreme Soma laughed loudly. The line between how much of it was a joke and how much of it was sincere was unclear.

At least one thing was certain.

It doesn’t take twice as much effort to have one Palmazon on your side or two on your side. It takes three to four times as much effort. They are water and oil that never mix.

“How was your trip with your beautiful heart?”

“It was really good.”

“After all, it’s better to travel with a beautiful woman, right?”

“How much I like that beauty. “I felt sorry that it was such a late trip.”

“Don’t fall for women. In the end, I will betray Gongja Lee.”

“I’m sure Tianhuaruju will be upset if he hears.”

“She knows. That I don’t believe it. “You can’t betray someone you don’t trust.”

“Then Soma-sama won’t believe me either.”

“I don’t trust humans. “Friendship is friendship, but trust is a different matter.”

I appreciate it being said out loud that I am like this. What has always been a problem in relationships with people is the feeling of disappointment when you find out that the other person is wearing a different mask.

“Did your brother visit?”

Extreme Soma added other information to his answer.

“I went there twice. “It seems like he’s been diligently meeting not only me, but also the Poison King and the Demon King.”

“Do we still have the advantage?”

“Why are the calculations like that?”

“Even if we assume that the Poison King and Gwon Ma joined hands, including Mabul, there are three. On the other hand, there are four of us, Soma, Hyeolcheondoma, Ilhwageomzone, and Seobhonmazone, right? “We have the advantage four to three.”

“It’s not four to three.”

“Why not?”

“First of all, I am neither on the side of the Archduke nor on the side of the Duke Lee.”

I achieved my goal of making him not on my side or in my situation. Of course, my emotional feelings were more intimate than that.

“Then we are at a disadvantage. “Our Subsoul Mazon is still too weak to serve as one person.”

“How could it be just a marriage? Are you sure that Hyeolcheon Doma and Ilhwa Geomzon are on Lee Gongja’s side? Did you even write a letter with blood? We must not ignore what the Archduke presents. Money and Power Very concise and clear. Even the amount and position are clearly presented. “He knows he is at a disadvantage and is pushing as hard as he can.”

It is also the pores that I allow. Yeah bro. Brother, do your best too. Because people who do their best have something to say.

“When faced with a complex and difficult problem, humans ultimately choose the simplest one. At least, an archduke feels simpler than a scholar of science.”

Maybe Extreme Soma is trying to show me.

How easily humans are swayed. How easily human relationships break down.

That may be the reason why he entrusted the mask to Hyeolcheon Doma. To show that a relationship can go haywire just for that simple reason.

Of course, it didn’t work because Hyeolcheondoma’s heart was broader than he thought.

He is giving me advice. If I approach it emotionally, I will fail.

“I’m going to pay a lot too. Definitely twice as big as my brother! How is it? “Do you do it?”

“Do you have that much money?”

“I have to start earning now. “If you have any money, please lend me some.”

Then, Extreme Soma leapt up and flew towards the wall behind him.

“That’s too much.”

“Don’t forget. “It’s always too much to borrow money.”

We looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

“But my brother said he was approaching the Poison King and the Gwonma, so why did he take out the Daechwima?”

When I mentioned Daechwima, Extreme Soma stopped laughing and suddenly asked.

“Do you like alcohol?”

“Drink in moderation.”

“A drunkard is a person who has reached the end of his drinking. “It is not easy for a sober person to deal with a drunk person.”

“Do you know about drunkenness?”

I knew enough about Amazon, but that information was focused on the future rather than the present. I know a lot about how they lived, about them when they came to look for Dafa materials, and about their final fate.

However, we do not know much about what kind of person Chwima was at this time. The same was true for the extremely evil Soma living in the same era.

“I don’t know. “I just don’t feel good when I see him.”

“If Extreme Soma sees you and makes you feel bad, isn’t that a good person?”

“Maybe so. Or… something worse.”

“That’s kind of scary. “It’s worse than Extreme Soma.”

“The smell of his alcohol always put me in a bad mood.”

With that said, Extreme Soma did not mention intoxication.

There was a strange look in the eyes looking at me. It was as if he was interested in how I would deal with him.

He clearly knew something more about intoxicants. His bad mind kicked in again and he tried to enjoy it without telling me.

Soma What do you know about Soma?
