Episode 424
Legend and Reality (3)
Kkeigik!
Firefighter frowned at the light coming through the open door.
There was light coming in through the small window, but it was so weak that only the inside of the cell could be seen. When I suddenly saw this bright light, it was so irritating that I cried.
It was then.
Pusssss.
Firefighter’s body suddenly stopped.
The hand covering my face was shaking. The terrible murderous feeling emanating from the body of the man who opened the door was entrapping her mind and body.
Throbbing!
A terrible pain came from my broken thigh.
Somehow the bones were put together, but the internal organs were blocked, the food was poor, and the environment was not good. If it weren’t for the weak energy that spread throughout his body, his wounds would have festered and he would have died already.
Fortunately, the bones were almost all together and the pain was minimal. However, the moment I faced the man’s life, I felt like I was losing my mind due to the intense pain rising from my thigh.
“Did you say firefighting?”
The low voice was making me feel pressured, as if I couldn’t breathe.
“As expected. Even if the internal energy is blocked, recovery is fast. “It’s impossible with a half-trained body.”
Wow! thud!
The door was closed.
Firefighter looked at the man with wary eyes.
The man, Yeon Ho-jeong, sat down across from Hyeong-hyeon and put down a small bundle. The space was so narrow that the distance between the two people was less than a foot.
“Eat.”
“….”
“Don’t you want to eat it? “You must be very hungry.”
“…What kind of trick is this?”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
The eyes emit a red glow that seems to burn the darkness, but their expressions are perplexed.
The eyes and facial expressions don’t match at all. So it made the viewer feel even more creepy.
“creation?”
Firefighter swallowed his saliva and said.
“Is the food poisoned? “If you’re going to kill me, kill me cleanly.”
“Well said. If you were going to kill me, I killed you right away. “I don’t do things like poison or burn precious food.”
“It may be that the intention is to kill him more painfully.”
“You don’t know anything about me, so it’s not unreasonable to think that way.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
The corners of the mouth draw shallow arcs. The red eyes, which were as hot as an active volcano but gave off a strangely cold aura, doubled Firefighter’s heart rate.
“There are so many torture methods that each one feels like a year, so it’s hard to count them all.”
“…!!”
“Do not turn away the favors that are given, but accept them. “Isn’t this a life where you never know when you might die?”
A sneer appeared on Firefighter’s face. Anyone who saw it could tell that it was an unreasonable facial expression.
“I kept it alive just in case, but now I guess there’s something I can use it for, right? “It’s good to be frugal.”
“You have to save to live well. “I don’t regret the things I throw away, but I am careful to use the things I worked hard to get.”
“….”
“Like you said, I kept him alive just in case. But now that the situation is like this, I have something to use it. So, get treatment well, eat well, and work on maintaining your physical strength.”
“Just kill me.”
“These are not words coming from the mouth of a b*tch who was struggling to die.”
Firefighter’s face hardened slightly.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong’s smile became even deeper. And as the smile grew, so did the intimidation.
“There is probably no other person in this world who hates Saeumgyo as much as I do. And yet I kept you alive. “You are a high-ranking member of the Saeum Church.”
“….”
“Exercising unsuitable patience in such urgent situations when life is full is not my hobby. “But why do you think they didn’t kill you on the spot?”
“….”
“You are different from that b*stard. “Before discussing loyalty, his obsession with life was extremely strong.”
“shut up!”
Firefighter’s face turned red.
“I am not one to be shaken by insults like that! Kill me now! “It’s better to die than to be used by someone like you!”
“Even though life is guaranteed?”
“It doesn’t even sound like a horse…!”
“When I think I’ve used up almost everything, then I’ll let you go. “I will not stop you no matter where you live in the central plains or whether you return to Saeumgyo.”
“…!!”
Firefighting felt momentarily speechless.
Yeon Ho-jeong relaxed his posture. I sat with one hand on the floor and the opposite knee raised, and that posture felt like I was in my own bedroom.
It is a comfortable and open posture, but at the same time it is also a good posture to subtly pressure the opponent.
Yeon Ho-jeong was good at this. Depending on the psychology of the other person, you know well what kind of tone and attitude you need to use to create the atmosphere you want.
“I don’t know what kind of personality you have anymore. But one thing is certain. You have a strong obsession with life. “If necessary, they want to live by betraying the group they belong to.”
“Shut up!”
“If not, die.”
“…what?”
Wooooow.
The red glow emanating from Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became even darker.
The flame-like color characteristic of main fire weapons gradually changes to a sticky color like blood. It was enough to rupture the opponent’s heart just by living.
“Commit suicide.”
“…!!”
“I don’t want to get my hands dirty when it comes to taking your life. “Commit suicide.”
“This guy!”
“If you want death so much, why are you still alive? Die yourself. Of course, since I don’t have the will to bury you with care, I will end up becoming prey for some wild dogs, but I guess you were prepared for that, right?”
“….”
“What on earth are you still alive for? If I wanted to, I could have committed suicide right away. Did you really think we would smile and welcome you? Did you think they would gently send me back to Saeumgyo? “You’re probably not that stupid, right?”
“….”
“Did you really think you could escape?”
The fire department had no answer.
In fact, she herself didn’t know why she didn’t commit suicide. The Hyeumsaggi was in a situation where it could not be used as much as a fingernail due to the enormous blockade of internal energy, and as time passed, its blockade power was getting stronger.
She could intuit. Unless the caster of the internal air blockade releases it directly, he will not be able to use Bloodyum Fraud for the rest of his life.
In other words, escape is absolutely impossible. The opponent is not a fool, so of course there is no way he will release his inner strength.
In that case, the only result is that the other person uses or tortures you. In that case, firefighting had to commit suicide. I had to die for the church. Because I can’t overcome the torture, I can’t reveal the information.
But she didn’t commit suicide. No, I had never even thought of the two words suicide in the first place.
Firefighter’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
‘why?’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching the firefight, smiled and stood up.
“Be honest with yourself. “We’ve come too far to care about our pride and give reasons for this or that.”
“…You don’t know.”
Firefighter’s eyes were bloodshot. There was a subtle fear and confusion in his red eyes, as if he was about to shed bloody tears at any moment.
“You don’t know. “What a scary place this school is.”
“It’s none of my business.”
“This school never forgives traitors.”
“It’s nothing new. That’s not the privilege of you damned sectarians. “No organization in the world will forgive traitors.”
“It’s not that bad! “The god of our school is…!”
“If there really is a god that Saeumgyo worships, that god must be an evil god. “What kind of god in the world would be so cruel to his followers?”
“You don’t know about doctrine!”
“There is no problem in living without knowing such doctrines. And I think that goes for you too.”
“…!”
“In my opinion, if you feel fear rather than reverence when discussing God, there is no need to believe in such a God in the first place. “You seem to view God as an object of fear rather than an object of respect and worship. I don’t understand why you live like that.”
Firefighter’s eyes widened.
I’ve never thought of it this way before. Although her desire for life was strong enough to remind her of ‘betrayal’, in the end she was just an ordinary religious person who had been brainwashed by doctrines since childhood.
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
“What is in the bag is medicinal food. “To make that meal, my men can’t eat even one more piece of meat.”
“….”
“Eat and recover properly. “I will come back tomorrow, and if you still haven’t made up your mind then, I will kill you with my own hands.”
bang!
The door was closed.
Sunlight coming from the small window illuminated the bundle. Firefighter’s face when he saw the bundle was filled with great confusion.
After a while.
Slurp.
The sound of a cloth being unraveled rang in the solitary confinement.
“Master.”
“Say it.”
“The prisoner has finished eating.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
“i get it.”
Yeo-guk lowered her head.
“then.”
“What about Jade Cheong?”
“It has improved a lot. The recovery is getting faster. According to the lawmaker, it will be no problem to enact the new law in about five days.”
“i get it. “Please take good care of me.”
“yes.”
Just like that, Yeo-guk left the room.
Mo Yong-woo, who was sitting across from me, sighed.
“Yeonje.”
It’s a series, not algebra. What I meant was that I would talk about private things, not public things.
“Do we really have to do that?”
“what?”
“It’s the Saeumgyo called firefighting.”
“hmm?”
A shadow appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
“Didn’t they put chronic poison in that recipe?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“….”
“I don’t trust the enemy. “How do you know when and how that b*tch will change and let her recover gently?”
“But…”
“The reins are essential to turn the horse’s head. “If you don’t want to kill it cleanly, you should use it until its bones are crushed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took a sip of water.
The stuffy inside of my mouth felt refreshed.
“The atmosphere in Guangdong is still chaotic. “If we’re going to quickly set this mood, that damn b*tch’s presence is essential.”
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
“What else can I say to my lover? However, today a congressman came to me and said. “I don’t think it’s too evil for the Murim Alliance’s work.”
“Please tell me to curse.”
“That’s not the problem. “Didn’t they say that the poison was made based on a medicine prescribed by the doctor himself?”
Mo Yongwu looked at Sima Xuan, who was quietly crossing his arms next to him.
“Even though that friend manufactured it.”
Sima Xuan still didn’t say anything. It had been a while since he came here in the first place.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“There is no tolerance for enemies in my justice. “If the enemy is my enemy, I will deceive him a thousand times and take advantage of him ten thousand times.”
“….”
“It would be best to stop talking about this matter.”
“Phew, I understand.”
Mo Yong-woo stood up.
“I guess I’ll just go. “Please rest well, Yeonje.”
Yeon Ho-jeong blurted out as he saw Mo Yong-woo trying to leave the room.
“General Moyong.”
“Please speak, Master.”
“Once this is over, I will go to Tangma County immediately.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“It is an honour.”
With those words, Mo Yong-woo left the room.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at the closed door, drank water again.
“…Use it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
I didn’t feel well.
