The shadow was dark (7)
“…?”
Samseon (??) raised his head.
“Hmm?”
Wu Xun, who was examining the ledger and brushing the parchment paper, asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“….”
“Hey Samseon.”
“That’s strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like my popularity has disappeared.”
“Pretending to be popular? who?”
“…I don’t know. “I’m not sure.”
Oseon frowned and waved his hand.
“It seems like it’s because the ventilation isn’t working properly. “You’ve never bloomed a cherry blossom before, have you?”
“yes.”
“Although your level is great, you will be helpless in the face of constant exposure to cherry blossoms. “I’m going to take a moment to ventilate, so please cleanse your body with the air.”
Samsun sighed.
“Yeah, that would be nice.”
Oseon pulled strongly on the iron rope hanging from one wall.
Phew.
A strange sound rang out from a hole in the ceiling at the end of the room. The air and dust that was filling this place are escaping through the vent.
Of course, clean air was constantly flowing in. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stay here for several days.
“I’m just feeling it again.”
A subtle admiration appeared on Osun’s face.
“Isn’t it really amazing? “The structure of this place.”
The structure of this gigantic basement was common to all paradises. The inflow of air is certain, so there is no dizziness or loss of consciousness, and it is sturdy, so it does not collapse immediately even if several bullets explode.
There were a total of 50 rooms, including a large room that could comfortably accommodate more than 20 people, and it was equipped with an office for their immortals and a warehouse to store ‘prey’.
Samseon shook his head.
“I knew that Sichuan Danga’s iron-making technology was amazing, but I didn’t know that even the machinery was top-notch.”
“It’s not top-notch. Nowhere else in the world could an institution like this be created. And you saw it too. “It took less than three months to build this sturdy and huge space.”
“It did.”
“Even if we mobilized that much manpower, it was truly amazing. “Even though he had such amazing technology, he didn’t try to expand his influence further. The head of the family was a more easy-going person than I thought.”
Samsun chuckled.
“It certainly looks like the cherry blossom smoke has seeped into it. “As the air becomes purer, my head seems to become clearer.”
“Look there. “It’s just as I said, isn’t it?”
“But this feeling still remains.”
“If you’re that worried, I’ll come up and come back, so you can do some luck. “People really have a lot to worry about.”
Osun deserves to say that.
This place, or the paradise that spread throughout Sacheon, including here, was a place that never tolerated the infiltration of foreigners.
Primarily, institutions called silver-type rain bombs are installed throughout the forest. Even if this organ knew of its existence, it was a murderous organ powerful enough to create a beehive before even a decent expert could react.
Even if you safely pass through the institution and infiltrate the inside of the building, there are extremely poisonous traps set up everywhere from the first to third floors.
If the trap’s control device is not returned to its original state every time, the poisonous fog will explode immediately. Of course, if you touch it, it explodes.
Even if you pass the primary gate, no one unless you are strong in Holy Heaven will survive in front of the secondary gate, the extremely poisonous trap.
There is even a third gate here. Explosives were laid as tertiary gates in some branches close to Chengdu in Sichuan Province, but not in other paradises.
Even if you are lucky and manage to pass through the secondary gateway and reach this basement, if the explosive at the third gateway explodes, all evidence will be destroyed.
This was Paradise Cow’s extreme. No one can secretly infiltrate, and even if they succeed, no evidence can be found.
“Let’s take a break while practicing. “I’ll be back soon.”
Samseon felt somewhat sorry.
“You don’t have to do that because of me. “I guess I got on my nerves.”
“Never mind. “I was already planning to go out soon because of the silver explosion.”
“hmm? Why the silver scattering explosion?”
“There have been quite a few animals around recently. “Didn’t a tiger once take a wrong step and end up wasting precious memorization?”
“Well, I did.”
“I received a call from the party. “They say that with a little tweaking to the control system, it won’t really work unless you’re as tall as a bear.”
“is it?”
“okay. “I’m still learning the mechanics these days, so I thought I’d check it out.”
Samsun chuckled.
“I understand. “Then please do me a favor.”
“Okay then.”
“Oh and.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I received a separate call from Il-seon.”
Oseon’s eyes lit up.
Ilseon was the highest-ranking expert among them. The authority was equal, so there was no need to respect it, but unlike the fourth line and below, where everyone was similar, the gap in martial arts was large for the third line and above.
In other words, Il-seon was the highest-ranking person except King Seon, the leader of Paradise God Seonjo. It would be safe to say that he is the actual leader of the Shinsengumi.
“What’s going on?”
“The head of the Sichuan Provincial Commander’s Training Department will be arriving soon.”
Oseon’s eyes lit up.
“Cheomsa?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, I heard that the command sergeant in the training department stubbornly resisted.”
Samseon shrugged his shoulders.
“It seems like he wanted to maintain the standards of a scholar in his own way. But after investigating, I found out that he also lived a pretty rough life.”
“hmm? “What does that mean?”
“I heard that 20 years ago, he murdered his nephew and killed his brother and his wife, causing an accidental death.”
Osun laughed.
“A man reputed to be a scholar as stubborn as a bamboo tree actually committed such an outrageous act?”
“It wasn’t just that. It seems that he often kidnapped young girls to satisfy his sexual desires and killed rats and birds without anyone knowing. “The number of casualties revealed through investigation is twenty-two.”
“Huh!”
I have encountered quite a few evildoers while receiving guests at Paradise House, but it has been a long time since I encountered this level of evil.
Osun quenched his appetite.
“They say people don’t know just by looking at the outside.”
I was quite surprised, but considering the different types of members in Paradise, I wasn’t that surprised.
Among the members of Paradise Cow, there were many crazy people. There were perverts who only liked boys under the age of ten, there were crazy people who enjoyed torturing, and there were also devil-like people who were fascinated by human flesh.
And Paradise Cow was a dream-like place that always satisfied their desires.
“Anyway, they say they are coming with the provincial commander. “They said they didn’t have enough name plates to issue this time, so this is an order to send them in even if they don’t have a name plate.”
“I understand. “Don’t do that.”
The membership registration process at Nakwonso is extremely complicated.
Even the emperor cannot enter Paradise unless he is certified as a member after going through more than ten censorship procedures. We don’t even know it exists in the first place. Because we put our lives on the line for member management and information control.
The reason Nakwonso was able to maintain itself for so long was because of such thorough member management and information control.
“Then I’ll be gone for a while.”
“Sure.”

“Here we are!”
Following the samurai’s guidance, the group arrived in front of a huge rock near the stream.
“There is a square hole under that rock. “It’s covered in fabric that looks like moss. If you remove it and insert the key, the path to the basement will open.”
“okay?”
“That’s right!”
“Do you have the key?”
“It’s in my arms!”
Kang Ryang searched the warrior’s arms.
What Musa said was right. In his arms were two gold bags, one of which contained something long and angular.
Kang Ryang opened his gold bag.
A gray square piece of metal appeared.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“If you stick this in there and turn it, a passage to the underground will open, right?”
“That’s right.”
Kang-ryang said as he walked to the rock.
“Let me check.”
It was then.
“no.”
“stop.”
Yeon Ho-jeong and Tang Gwan spoke at the same time.
The river slowed down.
“Why why?”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“There’s no way it’s this easy.”
“yes?”
“Paradise has taken root throughout Sichuan for a long time and has been kept secret. “You may be distracted because you haven’t been caught for a long time… but if you do something wrong, the entire Sichuan martial arts forest can be turned upside down, but management is so lax?”
The group glared at the warrior.
The warrior’s face turned pale.
“I didn’t lie! It’s true!”
Kang-ryang growled like an animal.
“Why don’t you speak straight, you bastard? Do you really want to cut it into pieces and throw it away?”
“Really! Please believe me!”
At that time, the officer raised his hand.
“stop.”
Kang-ryang hesitated and looked at the party hall.
The official nodded.
“What he said is true.”
“yes?”
“They said it was true. “He clearly believes that this is the entrance to the basement.”
“…?”
“It’s not just him. Everyone who lost their lives to your sword from the first to the third floor will believe that.”
“But…”
Yeon Ho-jeong interjected.
“The question is whether these guys have ever gone down to the basement.”
Musa shouted.
“I’ve been down there before! “It’s so salty!”
“You put that key in and turned it to open the passage down to the basement and went down there?”
“…?!”
“Didn’t the basement open first and the person inside called out or went in with someone else?”
The warrior’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
The official laughed.
“Paradise conch… they know how to deal with people.”
The warriors standing guard between the first and third floors are merely a one-time gimmick. Paradise’s executives did not allow them to come to the basement alone.
Kang Ryang asked.
“But it may actually be more sloppy than you think. “There is no guarantee that this key is fake.”
“That is correct. But…”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the party hall.
The official nodded.
“It’s gunpowder.”
“Are you sure?”
“Didn’t you take charge of it too?”
“Honestly, it’s ambiguous. “I’m asking because I’m too lazy.”
“It’s definitely gunpowder. “It’s subtle, but… there’s definitely gunpowder in this area.”
The official looked at the rock.
“And the place where the gunpowder smell is strongest is on that rock. “I think they were planning to hide it with the fishy smell of the stream water.”
“her?”
“You did a good job of making it obvious.”
In the first place, the engine equipment of Paradise Cow came from Tang family technology.
And Dang Gwan is the pinnacle of the Sacheon Dang family. Although I wasn’t very passionate about the institution, I didn’t know anything about the knowledge that came from my family.
The official looked down at the warrior.
“In the end, there is no need for this guy.”
Musa put his forehead on the ground.
“Please, please save me!”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Now that things are like this, I really have no choice but to break the ground and go down.”
“It’s better that way… hmm?”
The official’s eyes flashed, and at the same time, Yeon Ho-jeong shouted to the group in a low voice.
“Spread out! “Hide your presence!”
Faaagh!
As soon as the words were finished, the entire group dispersed in all directions.
After a while.
Rumbling!
The ground near the back of the building across from the rock slowly subsided.
It was so sophisticated an organ that it was hard to believe it even when I saw it. It was hard to believe that such an organ had been built from scratch, much less by human hands.
After a while.
There, the staff appeared.
