Absolute Regression

Chapter 305

Episode 305 The two people look good together.

Seo Dae-ryong felt like he was flying.

Today, I was able to understand why things were so out of hand. This may be because something heartbreaking like this was waiting for me.

Daeryong Seo lowered his voice and answered.

“It is our job to catch villains, Master So.”

That was all it took to set the mood.

“Ugh, I’d like to feel at ease at least just when I’m with you, Master So.”

In fact, what was more difficult than the work was having to show dignity as a footnote. It was even more so because I was used to joking around and playing around with Geommugeuk.

“But who should we catch?”

“Saujong.”

Seo Dae-ryong also knew him, who was once Ilhwa Geomjon’s right-hand man.

Geommugeuk tells the story of Saujong’s visit to Cheongseon. However, because it could have been personal history, it was not reported that Ilhwa Geomzon’s weaknesses were mentioned.

“Something seems suspicious. “Then what is the main office to do?”

“Please secretly conduct a special inspection of him.”

If you enter the special inspection, you will know everything about the Saujong. From property, work, military service, and interpersonal relationships to what your hobbies are and how you spend your day. You can find out everything about him.

“We are also requesting support from Tongcheongak.”

“All right.”

Then Seo Dae-ryong raised a question.

“But if you threatened Mazon, isn’t that a serious crime in itself?”

Depending on the case, beheading could also be imposed. That’s why Mazon’s status within the Heavenly Demon Church was absolute. However, the question was why such a grandiose investigation was conducted instead of simply solving the problem.

“Saujong must know that, so I wonder why someone who knows would do that.”

“Iknow, right. Why did they do that? “If I’m not struggling before I die… I guess there’s something I believe in, right?”

Geommugeuk nodded as if he agreed.

“Let’s find out what it is.”

“We will start investigating right away.”

In fact, Seo Dae-ryong did not wonder what the reason was. Now I was just happy that I got to work with Geommugeuk.

“I’m going. “If you don’t want to work, switch with me!”

As Geomugeuk turned around to come out, Seo Dae-ryong spoke from behind.

“I’m glad you’re back.”

Seo Dae-ryong still likes to play pranks, but Seo Dae-ryong has a different sense of security than before. You just can’t feel the change yourself.

“Then please take care of me, Seo Gakju.”

After leaving Hwangcheongak, I went straight to Cheondogrim.

Thanks to the highly toxic elixir that the Poison King obtained last time, my resistance increased significantly.

The King of Dog even contributed his own money in the process. Of course, what I was most thankful for was that he, who didn’t like going outside, went out to the central field and saved the day.

Our handsome poisonous king will be alone today, digging in the ground and looking for poisonous insects.

“Poison King! “I’ll dig it up with you!”

And an amazing sight unfolded before my eyes.

The flower garden of Hyeolcheon Doma was amazing, and the dance between Kwon Ma and Ian was also amazing.

But when I think about it calmly, this scene is the most surprising.

Poison King and Mabul were walking side by side from the forest. It was really Mabul, not someone else. The two people were also having a conversation.

“Ah, I can’t believe you have such a keen eye for attention! “You are truly amazing.”

“This is normal.”

The Poison King’s bag contained poisonous plants. It looks like they canned poisonous weed together. It felt so strange to see those two people together here without me.

Once upon a time, Mabul and I made a bet to find poisonous plants in Cheondokrim. At that time, Mabul found poisonous plants and joked that it was all a plot by the poison king to use us as gatherers. But Mabul is back?

shouted at them.

“Be careful! “One of them is fake!”

Two people glanced at me at my joke. Then, they pretended not to see each other and continued their conversation.

“How on earth did you find it so quickly? “Tell me the secret.”

“What is the secret? “I just got lucky.”

“Mabul really has the natural talent of being an herbalist. “I recommend that you change your job now.”

Mabul answered seriously the nonsense.

“I might consider making it a hobby. “I think going to places with fresh air is good for your health.”

I shook my head and this time shouted at the merchant ship.

“Both of you are fake!”

The merchant ship just smiled.

I really didn’t even think about it. I never thought these two would be hanging out.

“What are you two doing now?”

Then the Poison King said with an excited face.

“Mabul visited the nine-eumcho plant today. “It’s something I’ve been looking for for years.”

From what I said, it wasn’t even my first time here.

“Is there a bet this time?”

Then the Poison King sighed with a sad expression.

“I lost this bet too.”

“What happened?”

“Bet a meal. “Please prepare food for the merchant marine.”

The merchant said with a smile.

“I think you’ll lose this bet, so I’ve already prepared it.”

A grand meal was prepared in the front yard of the residence.

I also sat down. The merchant ship brought rice and chopsticks for me.

“How much does one root of Gueumcho cost?”

“Even if I can’t do it, I’ll pay 100,000 nyang, right?”

“But are you just trying to get by with just one meal?”

“What matters is that you won the bet.”

I whispered to Mabul.

“You are being deceived by an evil bettor.”

Mabul answered while enjoying the food.

“The Poison King is not that kind of person.”

I never thought such words would come out of the worn-out mouth of Mabul.

One person pretends to be deceived and the other person pretends to be deceived. These two are truly cute.

The Poison King pulled the dish in front of me towards Mabul.

“You eat only a little. “I made this for you, Mabul, who worked hard.”

“I am the head of the Su religion. It’s not Li Gongzi, it’s Sogyoju! “He is someone who can turn over the table.”

Even the poison king pretended not to hear anything and just took the horse fire.

“Eat a lot.”

“It tastes good.”

“I only went to two places, the Honam region and the Gangseo region. If this were the case, I would have become sworn brothers if I went through all the central regions.”

The person who laughed at my words was a merchant marine.

The two people are polar opposites. One is a person who enjoys alone time without leaving the forest, and the other is a person who met all the people in Oman and traveled around doing politics.

When I saw those two people together, this thought suddenly occurred to me. Maybe the two people have a yearning for the other person’s life in their hearts.

The Poison King may be jealous of Mabul. Mabul roams the world freely. Despite his short stature, he meets people without hesitation. In fact, he is more handsome than anyone else, but he stays confined to Cheondokgrim.

Mabul may be jealous of the poison king. You may be tired of moving around and tired of people, and now you want to live a quiet life by yourself.

Isn’t that why these two people look so good together now?

So what kind of life do I want?

What will I do and how will I live when I kill Hwamugi and stand in front of my life? I keep asking whenever I have time.

Let’s do and think about the important things first! Try not to fall into the trap. What was more important was something that might be slipping away without me even knowing.

Mabul, who was eating, suddenly asked.

“Gwonma is busy. “It’s your influence, right?”

He took on two disciples and saved a daughter. Since a successor has been selected, it would be natural to attract Mabul’s attention.

“You know Master’s personality, right? “He is not someone who can be influenced by anyone.”

“You wouldn’t know.”

“You’re overestimating.”

The Dog King was only looking at Gueumcho the whole time he was eating. I know that I am truly obsessed with that poisonous plant. Right now, the only thought in the Poison King’s mind is that he wants to quickly go in and make a new poison with that Gueumcho.

“When are you going to meet your brother?”

“Why do you want to run first? “I will go last.”

“I had a drink with the Archduke last time. “He brought up your story that day.”

“I’m glad you didn’t swear.”

I never thought about missing my brother in my entire life, but today I missed him.

“There is a heart of a loser that a winner never knows. “Your brother is a great loser.”

“It happened because Mabul stayed by my brother’s side.”

Mabul looked at me.

“You don’t have to say that anymore.”

“I will continue. “It’s not flattery, it’s sincerity.”

I felt the golden glow from Mabul’s body becoming a little more intense.

While talking with Mabul, the King of Poison could not stand it any longer and went into his residence with the Gueumcho. Through the window, I could see him engrossed in cutting the coriander.

“Let’s go.”

“Of course.”

He left his residence with Mabul. The merchant ship did not follow him but greeted him politely.

After a while, the Poison King’s voice could be heard echoing from far behind.

“Where did you go? Where! “We need to do a toxicity test!”

Last time, I agreed to do a toxicity test in return for buying the elixirs.

I pretended not to hear and walked faster.

Then, there was a shout from the Poison King that was also conveyed to Mabul.

“Let’s make our next bet on finding Banseoncho (???)!”

A smile appeared on Mabul’s lips.

He also felt that a lot had changed. Just look at the road leading out of Cheondogrim. In the past, I would have chosen the shortest path and walked diligently on those short legs. Now I was walking slowly along a road that had nice scenery and took turns. I even stopped for a moment and looked at the scenery.

Suddenly, I remembered what I had said to him in front of the cave on the hill in his hometown.

?Now, get out of that narrow and stuffy place.

It occurred to me that maybe Mabul had already come out of the cave and set out to find a new life.

“Next time, I will use Mabul as a gatherer to find Banseoncho.”

Mabul answered as he walked leisurely.

“The meal suits my taste, so it’s okay.”

* * *

At the same time, Sau Jong was walking down the street of Magachon.

As I continued walking down past the Pungryu bar, I came across a small flower garden on the outskirts. It was a place that sold flowers, trees, and seedlings.

It was already well-known within the Northern Heavenly Sword House that he often came to this garden.

Originally, there was a large flower garden that he often visited when he was Ilhwa Geomjon’s right-hand man.

But now, he gave up that role to another demon sword and came to a flower garden on the outskirts of the city, not the flower garden he originally went to, and sat there blankly before leaving.

Everyone understood this behavior because they knew very well how eager he was to become the successor to Ilhwa Geomzon. It wouldn’t be too surprising to hear that he committed suicide. His loss was so great, but no one came to comfort him. It was the result of running only looking ahead for success.

The owner of the flower shop was a woman with a generous appearance.

“welcome.”

Saujong did not even greet me, but sat in the corner of the garden as if it were his own home and stared blankly at the trees. The flowers had all faded and the saplings of the perennial trees were standing.

It must have been a day or two that he came and sat like this blankly, so the woman left him alone.

Looking at the plants here, he seemed to be trying to escape from the five desires and seven emotions, but he was not free from agony, but was walking through worldly desires.

‘You even sacrificed a man to become a mazon, but are you abandoning me?’

Do you know what it feels like to give a man to the woman he likes? He hurled all kinds of insults and curses at her. He didn’t think that it was he who had tried to use the man to get Geomzon into his hands in the first place.

She wasn’t the only object of love and hate.

When Cheongseon ascended to the position of Majon, he said goodbye as if he had been waiting. The last bastion to become Geomjon has collapsed.

For a while, I lived with only growing hatred. I had a dream every day. Some days, I dreamed of killing Ilhwa Geomzon and committing suicide, and other days, I dreamed of killing Cheongseon and committing suicide. One day he killed both women and committed suicide. Yes, if you can’t become a mazon anyway, kill them both and commit suicide.

Because he had no intention of achieving anything through his own efforts, the end of this abandoned desire was always death. I just couldn’t put it into practice because I didn’t have the skills to kill.

At the end of this despair, someone approached me.

This is the person who is sending a message to you right now.

-Have you met Seophon?

Surprisingly, the person who sent the message was the woman who owned the flower shop. The reason why Saujong came to this place was not because of suffering. He would have killed and died, but he was not a weak person who went to the flower shop to forget the pain.

-I did as you said, but she didn’t try to kill me.

Saujong was extremely polite. I am not a person who easily trusts others, nor am I a person who bows down. However, this woman, who approached her in the midst of a difficult time, immediately embraced herself.

A woman who dares to aim for the Heavenly Demon Church’s Soul Demon Lord, but she gave me faith that she could do it. Saujong had already experienced the fear hidden in that ordinaryity.

As a result, he became entangled with three women. he thought. He says he is destined to succeed only through a woman.

?Meet the Soul Mazon again and stimulate him. I must use a soul spell to kill you.

-I will do that.

Since Saujong was not a person who would die easily, the woman had a plan in place.

?The moment the soul mazon uses the soul magic, he must activate the yin-yang reverse soul magic.

Yin-Yang Reverse Honsul.

It was a secret technique known to have been put into practice a long time ago that could block an opponent’s Seobunjutsu and then cast a Seophonjutsu in return. It was a secret technique that only worked on the person he was sleeping with.

That was the reason he was chosen for this job. I didn’t care what that woman had in mind. It didn’t matter whether he killed the cult leader or the minor cult leader using the soul mazon who had been hit by the yin-yang reverse spirit spell as a puppet. There was only one thought in Saujong’s mind.

-You must keep your promises.

When Saujong checked again, the woman stopped for a moment and straightened her back while moving a sapling as big as her body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and sent a message. It was a reward that Saujong could never refuse.

?If you accomplish this task, Geomzon will become you and Ilhwa Geomzon will become your woman.
