Episode 286
Shadow War (6)
It’s like hitting the top of your head with a huge pickaxe! It felt like I was hit.
‘Sejak? What kind of thing? uh? But what was Sejak doing?’
Ki Woo-hee’s face, which was on the verge of fainting due to extreme shock and confusion, was so messed up that it was difficult to face it.
Yeon Ho-jeong thought as she looked at Ki Woo-hee’s face.
‘That’s interesting.’
With this reaction, it became clear that West Station priestess Ki Woo-hee belonged to the Three Churches.
At the same time, Yeon Ho-jeong felt steam leaking out.
‘What’s so lax?’
He knew the power and cruelty of the three fanatic religions. I didn’t know what their real purpose was, but I also knew that they would occupy the central plains and completely evaporate the martial arts and government affairs.
With that alone, the Three Religions of Gwangshin were the enemies of everyone in the central plains. Of course, the three schools would be aware of that reality, and if they sent Sejak, they would certainly select them very carefully.
But what is this? What made you think of sending such an idiot to Sejak?
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a little tired.
‘Do you think the three religions have all become fools just because history has changed?’
No matter how good Yeon Ho-jeong’s insight was, it was bound to be difficult for him to look at himself.
Ki Woo-hee clearly did not have a strong personality. However, the courage and courage he gained while treating patients for over ten years was quite considerable.
However, no matter how courageous Ki Woo-hee was, he was not strong enough to withstand Yeon Ho-jeong’s intimidation.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which were meeting alone for the first time with a person from the three religions other than the black sheep, were as sharp as blades. Anyone, not just Ki Woo-hee, has no choice but to feel intimidated.
Crucially, the reason Ki Woo-hee showed this side was because of her sixth sense.
Her sixth sense was so exceptional that she was able to detect Jamyoung Ilho’s stealth technique even though her skills were not even top-notch. So to speak, it was an innate talent.
The talent spoke for itself.
The danger of Yeonhojeong lies in the bomb-like murderous intent hidden beneath his bachelor-like appearance.
Jiing! Ji-ing!
Ki Woo-hee swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes looking at him were gradually becoming transparent. At the same time, her sixth sense was running wilder and wilder.
‘it hurts.’
My brain seemed to be boiling with fear brought on by my sixth sense. I felt like my eyes were turning white due to the terrible headache.
Only twice before had her sixth sense sounded such an alarm.
She remembered one person.
The personification of absolute power who looks down on all people with clear eyes as flawless as the blue sea.
‘father.’
One who reveals the myth.
The only Son of Heaven, the Shinhwa religious leader, who will light up the world with the hottest and purest fire in the world.
At the same time, another absolute person came to mind.
‘And… him!’
If there is light, there is also darkness.
The leader of the darkest and most evil group in the world, the master of evildoing who lives in the lowest place and is paradoxically ready to rise to the most noble position.
‘Unbelievable! Who the hell is this guy…?!’
Unbelievably, Yeon Ho-jeong was giving Ki Woo-hee such terrifying pressure that it reminded him of the two most powerful men in the world.
Martial arts? Strong?
That wasn’t the problem.
This young man never achieved the martial arts skills of his father or the Four Masters. No, even among the thirteen saints who are competing to be the best among the powerful forces of the time, there are not even three who are as strong as the masters of the three religions.
So what is it about this young man that makes him so outstanding that he reminds us of the masters of the Three Religions?
Grrrrrrr.
At that moment, Ki Woo-hee saw a vision.
The fantasy of a bachelor-like young man with sharp, poisonous eyes suddenly turning into a monster with hundreds of arms and dozens of pairs of legs and sharp fangs like a snow beast.
Every breath you exhale is poison, every gesture you make brings a typhoon. If you take one step, an earthquake occurs, and the shouts cause thunder and lightning.
Crumbling!
‘Sigh!’
A fantasy of a true monster that cannot be described even with the words “Three Heads and Yukbi.”
Here was an evil spirit who came to earth with five demon kings behind him. He was the embodiment of an unprecedented evil that would burn across the continent and into the sky.
Grrrr.
Ki Woo-hee trembled in extreme fear.
She inherited the richest and most cloudy blood among the mythological lineages, and surprisingly, she was born with spiritual eyes that did not appear in any other mythical lineage.
Yeon Ho-jeong, captured in the spirit, was an uncontrollable monster that grew with the concepts of fear, hatred and destruction attached to it.
“Why are you doing that?”
“….”
“Ibosho.”
“omg!”
Ki Woo-hee, who was surprised, suddenly returned from the world of fantasy to reality.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Where does it hurt? “Why are you sweating so much?”
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to be surprised that Sejak’s story was suddenly revealed.
“Oh no.”
The sight of Ki Woo-hee breathing heavily with his hand on his chest was not normal for anyone to see.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching Ki Woo-hee, relaxed her posture.
“Yes, it looks like Sejak is correct.”
It comes out definitively.
It is clear that he knew his identity from the beginning. When I think about it, the inexplicable feeling of stomachache I felt from the moment I first met Yeon Ho-jeong could have been because he knew her identity.
‘Whoa.’
After catching his breath, Ki Woo-hee felt somehow at ease.
Ki Woo-hee said calmly.
“Do you think I am a third party member of another organization?”
“exactly.”
The tone of speech changed.
Ki Woo-hee read in that change a violence that was difficult to bear.
And surprisingly, I felt even more at ease with the change. To begin with, she neither liked hiding things from others nor was she good at lying.
“Do you think I am a Sejak dispatched by some organization?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
He too could feel the change in Ki Woo-hee. Ki Woo-hee was not trying to back off, but rather was trying to tell everything.
‘What a strange human being.’
Usually, when receiving an unexpected blow like this, it was common to deny that it was a surprise attack, apart from surprise. And that was normal.
But Ki Woo-hee was not like that. His voice was becoming calmer, as if everything was going well.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes narrowed.
“well? “I don’t know which of the three places it is, but at least it doesn’t seem to be a dead body.”
Ki Woo-hee flinched.
‘also.’
This person knew about the existence of the Three Religions.
She swallowed again.
“You know. “About the three religions.”
“exactly.”
“How…?”
“I have no obligation to tell you that.”
That was correct.
Ki Woo-hee sighed.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“If you need.”
“…If you need?”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled vaguely.
It was a smile that immediately filled Ki Woo-hee’s calm heart with fear.
“Sejak does not admit that he is Sejak. But you admitted it.”
“….”
“I don’t know what your circumstances are, but it seems to me that you yourself have a strong aversion to the idea of cleaning yourself.”
Ki Woo-hee swallowed again.
Even though the other person did not have the same sixth sense and spiritual vision as he did, he had the experience and insight to navigate the chaos.
In a way, it was a force much more powerful than innate talent. And Ki Woo-hee couldn’t lie to his eyes that were close to certainty.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.
‘What you say, brother, is not wrong.’
He had no intention of forgiving anyone related to the Three Religions.
But Mo Yong-woo said. At least he doesn’t seem like a bad person by nature and there’s no sign of immediate danger, so we should talk first.
At least in this case, Mo Yong-woo’s judgment was right.
‘Even if you’re young, the real thing is real.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been watching Ki Woo-hee the whole time, suddenly hit the table.
bang!
Ki Woo-hee, surprised, looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with eyes full of fear.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“Enough of the useless talk. “I knew you were Sejak, and you acknowledged it too.”
“…!”
“Now it’s time to make a choice.”
“…Choice?”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong crossed his arms.
“Do you want to die?”
Ki Woo-hee’s complexion turned pale.
“Of course you don’t want to die. But it’s hard to avoid death once it’s discovered that you are Sejak. Then there are two ways for you.”
“yes?”
“Either die here or bring us that information.”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Killing you is easy. “I can just twist your neck right here and there.”
“…!!”
“But it is difficult to obtain information from the three religions. “If you think about it that way, you are a pretty useful chess piece.”
“Are you telling me to betray the church?”
“exactly.”
“You can’t do that.”
“Then die.”
Grumble.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
Ki Woo-hee, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with trembling eyes, soon closed his eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking down at Ki Woo-hee, smiled and said.
“Isn’t it fun?”
“…yes?”
“In fact, as long as the Three Schools do not try to dominate the central plain, we have no reason to hate the Three Schools either. “Of course, I will be on guard.”
“…!”
“Do you understand? We don’t know anything about them. But they are trying to dominate the midfield. And that road will inevitably be stained with blood.”
Ki Woo-hee’s tightly clenched fist trembled slightly.
“They are evil. Regardless of what they are pursuing, any justification or excuse is meaningless to them at the point when they are trying to kill the innocent common people of the central plains. because? Because it is evil.”
“….”
“Even a murderer can have a story. But that can’t forgive sins. “That’s what you’re trying to do.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes spewed out blue sparks.
“And you are a congressman. My job is to heal people’s bodies and save lives. “No matter what group you belong to, you are just watching them shed innocent blood.”
“…!”
“Even if you die and go before King Yeomra, don’t say that you were a member of the National Assembly. “It’s disgusting.”
Ki Woo-hee opened his eyes.
Her bloodshot eyes were full of unknown anger and confusion.
“I hate conflict too! “I don’t like seeing blood either!”
“Then why don’t you try to change it?”
“I have no strength, so how can I…!”
“So the result is like this. If that was going to happen, why didn’t you say the right thing and die right away? If I had done that, I would have died at a younger age, but at least I would have been proud of myself.”
“…!!”
“You too are using the same excuses that countless evildoers have made. So what does it mean even if one’s nature is good? “The result is like this.”
The smile disappeared from Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“Don’t try to make excuses by saying things like age, courage, etc. You failed to choose when you should have. Therefore, you have no right to criticize the Uishinhoe.”
Ki Woo-hee’s expression became full of despair.
There was a lot to refute. But I couldn’t refute it.
In the end, I understood that Yeon Ho-jeong’s words were true.
Pow!
“Oops!”
Ki Woo-hee’s body was lifted into the air.
Yeon Ho-jeong grabbed her neck and spoke coldly.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“….”
“Are you going to die dirty? Or are you going to at least try to change your miserable life?”
“…!!”
“Choose. Right now!”
