Absolute Regression

Chapter 231

Episode 231: What’s worse than a wrong life?

“Do you have any plans to kill Yayulhan?”

Geommugeuk shook his head in response to Bisain’s question.

“Not yet.”

Geommugeuk said while looking at the bewildered Bisain.

“Wouldn’t we be able to make a full-fledged plan only if we get your permission?”

“Are you saying that without my permission, you’ll come up with a plan that wasn’t there before?”

“It will happen.”

“You really are a helpless person.”

Despite what he said, Bisain’s mood didn’t seem bad. Rather, I felt relieved after making the decision.

“Please protect this.”

Bisain put forward one condition. Since I was already giving permission, it was closer to a request than a condition.

“You can kill Oroe Shingeom or Hyeolryungeop, but you cannot touch the Extreme Soldiers. They are not Yayulhan’s personal limbs. “They are the best of our alliance.”

According to the Heavenly Demon Church, it means leaving the demon lords alone and killing only the demon lord. Losing Yayulhan alone was a huge loss, but it was still an effort to minimize the loss.

“I understand.”

The sword dance was readily accepted.

Bisain sighed.

“I don’t know what I’m doing. “If this goes wrong, let alone being killed by Yayulhan, you could be kicked out as successor right away.”

“If you are driven out, come to me. “I will accept it.”

“If I die, I’m dead and I won’t go there.”

Bisain’s hideous face was distorted. I could understand the sword dance. That he smiled happily. It was his emotions that you could never know unless you really looked at him closely.

“If there is anything I can help you with, please contact me. “I’ll be eating lunch in that guesthouse for the time being.”

“Thank you.”

So Bisain left there first.

Geommugeuk stayed there and only left after looking up at the night view of Sadomaeng and the night sky for a while.

* * *

After returning to the safe house, I immediately gathered together Gowol and the leader of the Extreme Demon Pungcheon Church.

“Bisain, the successor to the Sadomaeng, promised to take care of the end. Now we just have to kill Yayulhan.”

Everyone was surprised by what I said.

“How on earth did you change his mind?”

Not only the leader of the Pungcheon Church who asked the question, but even Geukak Soma and Gowol looked at me with surprised eyes. I thought it would take time to persuade him, but I succeeded in persuading him too quickly.

“Isn’t there something the young successors have in common?”

“Really, you…”

Not knowing what to say, the leader of Pungcheon shook his head.

“It is good news that Bisain has done us a favor, but there is also bad news. “I learned more about Yayulhan’s subordinates.”

I already knew that Hyeolryungeop was Yayulhan’s subordinate.

“The new person I got to know is Oreudshingeom.”

Everyone was surprised to hear the word Oh-ro-shin-geom.

The Pungcheon religious leader of Sae-o also remembered him.

“Wasn’t he the one who once caused bloodshed in the martial arts world? “I was accused of being a martial artist.”

“you’re right. “It is him.”

“I thought he was dead, but he was hiding in Yayulhan’s shadow.”

Hyeolryungeop was not an easy person to deal with, but Oroe Shingeom was a person whose skills were one step above him.

At that time, the leader of Pungcheon Church asked as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to just leave them and kill Yayulhan when he’s alone? “They are people too, so they won’t stick around all the time.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me. All three of them had the same feelings, but there was a reason why they couldn’t do that.

“As I said, once Yayulhan dies, it will be Bisain who killed him.”

Gowol was the first to realize my intention.

“You are worried that they will take revenge on the Bisain.”

I nodded.

“I don’t know what kind of relationship they have. Is it a relationship that will take revenge or is it a relationship that will just leave? However, if even just one time he decides to take revenge, Bisain will definitely die.”

“I clearly understand why Bisain decided to help Confucius.”

It means that Bisain must have noticed that he was thinking of him.

The leader of Pungcheon came out again.

“I will help you with this too.”

I didn’t expect that he would come forward to help with this matter.

“Are you sure?”

“Even if it’s because I’m embarrassed, I have to help.”

What he meant was that he was embarrassed that he asked if it would be okay to kill only Yayulhan, without considering that Bisain might be subject to revenge.

But I could tell that that was an excuse and that they were out to help me.

“Isn’t this too much of an opponent for the two of us to face? why? “Are you trusting my skills?”

“If you don’t trust your skills, who can you trust? “But the leader has more important things to do.”

“What happened?”

“Please protect the late soldier as you have done so far.”

My eyes turned to Gowol.

“If our side is exposed even in the slightest, the Go military could be in danger. At that time, the religious leader must protect you. “Until now, I have never worried about the late soldier because of the religious leader’s presence.”

“Are you okay?”

“Because I have Soma-sama.”

My gaze turned towards Extreme Soma, who had been quietly listening until now. In this burdensome situation, Extreme Soma smiled and said.

“Just trust me.”

“yes. “I will only trust Soma.”

This is what I really felt at this moment.

Soma, just trust me. I will never kill you under any circumstances.

This is my response to the favor he did me.

Commander-in-Chief Sima Ming was in the operation command room.

A top-secret operation related to sword dance was underway here, which was known to be safer than Cheonmajeon.

Sima Ming had been nervous ever since Geommugeuk was expelled from school. If an incident occurred, the sword dance had to be quickly supported and the relationship with the Sado Alliance had to be controlled so that it did not lead to war. And this movement had to be undetected by the Sado League.

So far, Geommugeuk has been carrying out its mission much better than he expected.

When Jisaeng was eliminated, Aecha was eliminated, and even Yeobulgae was eliminated without revealing their true identity, the chief soldier of Tongcheongak said this.

“If I were a soldier of Yayulhan… I would have been pinned down too.”

Sima Ming couldn’t tell me that it wouldn’t be. Because I felt like I couldn’t be sure.

“Go Yue’s abilities are not ordinary. “The information network established in the central region was also created so that it does not overlap with our Tongcheongak but complements each other.”

“I’m thinking about this until after Gongja Lee becomes the Heavenly Demon.”

“He’s really thinking about the big picture.”

I thought that just as Geomudgeuk was pushing a new magic power, Tongcheongak would also become a new Tongcheongak once Gowol took his place.

And today a new report came in.

The chief military officer entered Sima Ming’s office with a serious look on his face.

“The scientist has requested information about a person.”

“Who is it?”

The senior soldier took a deep breath and then reported. He expressed in advance how surprised he was.

“It’s the Five God Sword.”

Sima Ming suddenly got up from his seat.

“Yayul-han even has the Oh-roe God Sword with him.”

It was already known information that Hyeolryungeop was a subordinate of Yayulhan. But there was even an Oroe Shingeom?

“From Yayulhan to Blood Ring Gyeop and Oroe Shingeom. “Can two people take on them all?”

“I don’t think it’s easy.”

“What is the probability of success of this operation?”

“When I didn’t know about the existence of the Five Blades, I expected it to be Sahal.”

This was the probability analyzed at Tongcheongak. Although he did not know the exact martial arts level of the sword dance, it was the result of analysis based on the various things he had done so far.

“However, if we assume that Oroe God Sword helps Yayulhan, I expect it to fall like this. “We will report the detailed analysis as soon as it is completed.”

“This is Halira.”

Tongcheongak’s analysis of the success rate of the operation was almost accurate. This figure should be viewed as a failure.

“If, by any chance, a master other than Oroe Shingeom appears, the work may not be possible.”

It wasn’t an exaggeration. Sima Ming once again realized that this was not an ordinary incident.

“Send us all the information we have regarding the Oreo God Sword.”

“All right.”

Sima Ming asked the senior soldier who was about to turn around and leave.

“What do you think?”

“yes?”

“What do you think the probability of success is?”

“I…”

He was the soldier who knew the most information about sword dance among his subordinates. After hesitating for a long time to answer, he came up with an unexpected number.

“I see it as half and half.”

Sima Ming was surprised.

“There is a huge difference between this and five.”

“This is my emotional analysis.”

“Doesn’t this mean that our analysis skills are a mess?”

“No, that’s just my feeling.”

Sima Ming persistently dug into the embarrassed senior soldier.

“Why oh discount?”

said the senior soldier.

“Aren’t there some people in the world who don’t understand analysis? I think Lee Gongja is that kind of person.”

The senior soldier quickly bowed and retreated before another barrage of questions could be asked.

Sima Ming took the report and stood up to report it to Heavenly Demon. Yes, that is correct. This is someone whose sword dance performances I have seen so far cannot be explained by numbers.

The same applies to Geom Woo-jin, the Heavenly Demon who allowed this incident. Sima Ming headed to the Heavenly Demon Hall, thinking that perhaps the most similar thing between the two people was that analysis did not work.

* * *

Gowol racked his brains to come up with a plan.

This time I didn’t tell him to enjoy the situation. This time, I had to plan properly and follow the plan clearly.

While Gowol was planning his strategy, we had our own time.

Extreme Soma painted white wallpaper in the room and began training while looking at it, while I fell in love with martial arts training in the backyard.

In this fight, I will have to use all my skills. It will not be an easy fight, but we will definitely eliminate Yayulhan. Because I had something to say in his dying ear. So, it was necessary to allow a person who had been caught up in revenge for a long time and never lived his life to live his life with peace of mind, even if it was only for the rest of his life.

I was practicing martial arts in the backyard when someone spoke from behind me.

“I can’t be fooling around when you work so hard, right?”

When I turned around, I saw the leader of the Pungcheon Church walking this way.

“Gowol nagged me so much that I got kicked out. “Confucius, you are still sweating. What are you doing?”

“Let’s practice as if we were already here. “These days, you are losing weight and your figure is getting taller.”

“okay?”

The head of the Pungcheon Church showed an interested expression. As I was leaving, he said something more pleasant.

“I think there were quite a few women following him around when he was young. Isn’t it?”

“Well, the line following me was a bit long.”

The leader of Pungcheon raised his chin with a proud expression. Looking at the thick skin under my chin, I still had a long way to go.

“You need to regain the popularity you had back then.”

“Isn’t it easier when you get older?”

“If you train and make your body look 10 years younger, you will go back 10 years. “If you make yourself 20 years younger, you go back 20 years.”

The leader of Pungcheon looked at me intently.

“You’re just trying to make people excited by saying nothing.”

“It’s about regaining youth, so how could it be nothing? Be sure to show it! How do you know the future? I wonder if the leader will look 20 years younger. “When I first met you, would you have thought we would have this conversation here?”

“Well, that’s true. “You completely changed my monotonous life.”

“So do you regret it?”

After thinking about it for a moment, the leader of Pungcheon shook his head.

“If I were a little younger, I might have regretted it. But now I know. “The only thing worse than a wrong life is a life lived with regrets.”

He always joked around with me, so it’s been a while since I had such a serious conversation with him.

“When I was the leader, I thought it was an incredible position.”

Hehehe.

A sandstorm blew. The leader of the Pungcheon Church opened the space-time transformation technique and took me into an alien landscape. I could see the majestic view of Pungcheon Bridge in the distance.

“To be honest, I thought about it several times a day up there. I am the king of the outside world. Many people will envy me. “At that time, even the sand in your mouth was as sweet as a candy.”

His eyes turned to me.

“Now that I’ve realized that it’s all pointless, I don’t regret it anymore.”

“You’re wonderful.”

“That’s cool. But that doesn’t mean I’m any better now than I was then.”

“It’s better.”

“Better? In what way?”

“There are people who look straight at the leader, right?”

In the air, my gaze became entangled with that of the leader of the Pungcheon Church.

He said, shaking his head.

“You exchange this look for that! “I will remain the biggest fool in the history of martial arts.”

“I will remain as the person who made the greatest choice in Moorim history.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church laughed. I plan to keep telling you. That his decision was worthwhile. What makes people difficult is not the sacrifices they made for that decision. No one knows that. At least in my relationship, it won’t make me feel that kind of loss.

The leader of Pungcheon walked slowly.

I followed him through the sandy wasteland.

“Have you ever asked that before?”

There was another reason why the Poongcheon cult leader opened the space-time transformation technique today. The Poongcheon cult leader again said something he had forgotten.

“Is it possible to make the time flowing in space-time anomaly different from the time in reality?”
