Episode 201. Han Ibi said , “I use it
. ”
“That leash… are you going to… do it right now?”
Gyeoncheonmo said with a smile.
“of course. “Didn’t I clearly say that I didn’t have time?”
“Oh, of course it is. Time…”
“I’m going to start work right away, so let me know quickly.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
“Go closer and check for yourself so you don’t confuse it with someone else.”
“Yes…”
Han Ibi started walking as slowly as possible towards the sleeping Murim members, unaware of the urgent situation.
All kinds of measures to overcome this situation were running wild in his head…
but it was impossible that Gyeon Cheon-mo would not have put the guards undercover with his well-functioning mind….
Taking out the Joho tea leaves and burning them right now would not have been possible. It would be almost impossible.
At that time, I heard Gyeoncheonmo yelling.
“Why are you moving so slowly? “I told you I didn’t have time.”
“Oh yeah. yes. “I’m leaving now.”
“Now, find the best ingredients right now. Hehehe. Since there are three Gangshi that can work at once, it’s okay to select three. Including the open-minded elder I mentioned earlier.”
‘ah. It looks like they are not all going strong at once. Now that I think about it, the Eongeuk soldiers were saddened when they saw the burned Gangshi, saying they had put a lot of effort into it.’
Ebi Han said.
“I see. But since Soin has never seen their skills in person…”
Gyeoncheonmo’s expression suddenly distorted.
“So you’re saying you can’t do it?”
Han Ibi said while waving her hands.
“Is that possible? “I’m just worried that my thoughts may be wrong and cause inconvenience.”
About ten steps to the coffin.
Why did that short distance feel like eternity?
‘Who should I designate? How can I decide whether other people live or die… and the Murim Alliance agents who risked their lives to participate in the operation…’ Han
Ibi finally arrived.
Han Ibi was slowly crossing between the coffins, taking time again.
Then Gyeoncheonmo said.
“Why are you so hesitant? huh? When is the right time to just sell it off and now you’re pitiful because they’re trying to kill you?”
“no. no.”
Among them, there were definitely people who were not close to him.
But does that mean that it is a justification for taking their lives?
At that time, Gyeoncheonmo stood up from his seat and said.
“It seems to have exploded further than I expected. Or…”
Gyeon Cheon-mo continued, looking at Han I-bi with the eyes of a wild animal with its prey in front of it.
“…Is there another reason?”
For a moment, Han Ibi could not say anything.
Gyeoncheonmo spoke again.
“If you’re in such trouble, let me help you.”
Clap clap.
Gyeon Cheon-mo clapped twice.
An ominous tone echoing inside the cave.
“good. “Bring him here.”
Then I heard a voice in the darkness.
“yes.”
At the same time, three black shadows appeared.
Han Ibi just watched the scene in puzzlement.
By the time the shadow was lifted by Ya Myeong-ju.
“ah!”
Ibi Han had no choice but to speak out without even realizing it.
‘this. ‘You were so nervous you didn’t even realize he was gone.’
Yes.
Coming towards them were two sturdy Qilianmundo figures.
The person they were pulling by the arms from both sides…
was the mute old man who had been pulling the cart after Han Ibi.
His entire body was tightly bound with chains.
‘Shit.’
Han Ibi continued to curse in her heart.
Yes.
His identity is Seonmujae, an elder of openness.
He was the one who played a key role in this mission along with Han Ibi.
But…
his appearance was miserable.
Not only was there blood everywhere, as if it had already been a fierce battle, but there were already black bruises here and there on the parts of the body that were exposed.
Except for the face…
Gyeoncheonmo’s face was distorted when he saw that.
“You idiots! I told you to handle it with care, right? “The value of the product is dropping!”
Then the two men bowed their heads, and the sturdier of the two spoke.
“sorry. Elder Gyeon. The resistance was so strong… it was not an opponent that could be easily dealt with. “Lee Hae-gwan (李楷款) has already passed away, and Jun-pyeong (俊平) was seriously injured with his arm cut off.”
Gyeoncheonmo looked as if he was at a loss and said.
“joy. That’s none of my business. Isn’t it all because their skills are lacking?”
The man bowed his head again and said.
“That is a fair statement.”
At that time, Han Ibi spoke as calmly as possible.
I didn’t know how fortunate I was to be wearing a human skin mask at a time like this.
“No, Mr. Dog. “Why on earth did you tie up our worker?”
Gyeoncheonmo glanced back at Han Ibi and said.
“Are you asking why I captured it?”
Then he slowly approached Seonmujae.
The sturdy man quickly spoke.
“It’s very fierce so be careful.”
Gyeoncheonmo said with a smile.
“It looks like the mutt doesn’t know anything and is just vicious.”
He suddenly grabbed Seonmujae’s hair and ripped it out.
Seonmujae’s head, which had been grabbed with a mix of fake and real hair, shook violently.
At the same time, there is a ‘squeak’ sound and the creepy sound of the bast face being torn apart.
Clearly, his face, which had been wrinkled just a moment ago, had transformed into that of a very wounded young man.
Gyeoncheonmo spoke to Han Ibi.
“Are you still asking why I caught you like this?”
Han Ibi still did not give up and said while pretending to be as surprised as possible.
“no! Unbelievable!”
Gyeoncheonmo grinned as if it was ridiculous and said.
“I said it clearly a little while ago. I’m going to work on the cilantro first. But…”
Gyeoncheonmo’s mouth was smiling, but his eyes were glaring sharply at Han Ibi.
“…How do you explain that the coachman is the best among them?”
Han Ibi said, hesitating to find the right answer.
“That’s right…”
“Besides. Look at his palms.”
Han Ibi unconsciously turned her gaze to Seonmujae’s hand.
Gyeoncheonmo said.
“That type of callus that runs across the palms and fingers is often seen in Shaolin temple monks.”
Han Ibi swallowed her saliva.
“Yes, that’s right. This is a sign you can often see on people who use batons. And…”
Gyeon Cheon’s mother continued while looking straight into Han Ibi’s eyes.
“…It can be easily seen even by open beggars who use sticks to beat dogs.”
Ebi Han said.
“It is by no means rare to see people using batons to fight. To say that they are all open-minded people…”
Gyeon Cheon-mo cut him off.
“It doesn’t matter. “It’s enough for me to just find good ingredients.”
At that, Gyeoncheonmo suddenly turned around and went behind Seonmujae.
And then…
he hung the leather strap around Seonmujae’s neck.
Gyeoncheonmo crosses the leather straps and pulls with all his might.
In an instant, Seonmujae’s face turned red as if it was about to explode.
Contrary to her calm face, Han Ibi’s heart began to pound like thunder.
Seonmu-jae’s blood vessels in his eyes have already burst and opened up from resisting the pressure.
His wide-open eyes seemed to be urging Han Ibi not to reveal anything.
Han Eibi clenches her molars so hard that you can’t see them.
At that time, Gyeoncheonmo, who was tightening the leash, smiled sinisterly and said.
“Me too… I didn’t believe in magic in the past. It’s bullshit that scares kids who can’t sleep at night. But… Pangogi showed me a new world.”
Han Ibi still looked as if nothing had happened.
That guy has noticed everything and is doing this.
However, you should not move carelessly.
The fate of the young people of the Murim League depends on his every move.
‘If it doesn’t work out, there is no choice but to bring about the Great Law of Hongmong. Ah… but I can’t handle what happens next… so I have no choice but to pray that something like that doesn’t happen.’
Gyeoncheonmo continued.
“But not long ago… I heard that the jiangsi that Eongeukbyeong had been making was exterminated. I disappeared as well. Who did that? huh?”
Han Ibi didn’t say anything.
“If someone took Ungeukbyeong… and looking back at his mean disposition…”
Gyeoncheonmo suddenly shouted sharply.
“It occurred to me that that bastard might have been talking about our Qilianmun. For example, the beggars of openness… or the Murim League bastards who peel pumpkin seeds behind their backs or pretend to be just.”
Although Seonmujae did not make a single groan…
his face was already turning pale blue beyond red.
Gyeoncheonmo said.
“And… Lim Gyu-kwang.”
Han Ibi looked back at him with a stern expression.
“Why are you talking twice?”
Han Ibi asked, raising one eyebrow.
“What are you talking about?”
Gyeoncheonmo said as if he was having fun, putting more pressure on the leash.
“I told you clearly the last time I visited. Please understand that I cannot drink even one glass of alcohol and cannot eat chicken because my constitution causes hives. Do you know how bad I felt at that time? ha ha ha. But it looks like everything has improved in a month?”
For a moment, Seonmujae’s eyes lost focus.
It was clear that he was losing consciousness due to lack of oxygen.
If you delay any longer, you will most likely die.
Shhh.
It was the sound of Han Ibi not being able to hold back any longer and running towards Gyeoncheonmo.
Qilianmun’s guards blocked him at that moment.
At that time, Gyeoncheonmun shouted irritably.
“You can’t get out of the way!”
The guards flinched and got out of the way in front of Gyeon Cheon-mun.
It was then.
Beetle.
Han Yi-bi’s floating Myeongwangbo deviated from the path and her body shook greatly.
‘Oh! ‘This can’t be happening.’
Yes.
Even Hongpaemun Geogon’s poisonous attacks could not help him.
Although he wasn’t sure, he thought he was resistant to poison.
But…
my body became stiff and my mind became cloudy, as if I had been administered a strong anesthetic.
Gyeon Cheon-moon said while watching this with satisfaction.
“I didn’t know which one I would like more, so I prepared both. “Poison and anti-marital medicine.”
Yes.
There is a subtle difference between poison and unmarried medicine.
And they were bound to exhibit different characteristics.
thud.
Han Ibi falls to the floor against her will.
Through his field of vision, he heard Gyeoncheonmun’s voice laughing cheerfully.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Is there anything this happy? You will be able to ‘work’ on all of the Murim Alliance’s new blue masters at once! And that’s completely free.”
Gyeon Cheon-moon was tightening the leash even harder, paying no attention to Seonmu-jae, who had already lost consciousness and lowered his head.
And that was the last sight Han Ibi saw while still conscious.
* * *
Consciousness can be said to be everything in the world.
This means that it is true as far as humans can feel it.
Sigh!
“Hmm!”
Such a cold feeling.
It was Han I-bi who regained her consciousness amid such a terrible feeling that her whole body was shaking.
My body naturally trembled.
His body was completely naked.
Plus…
an unfamiliar pressure being applied to his head.
Yes.
Han Ibi realized that she was now hanging upside down.
Moreover, both arms were connected to chains connected diagonally, making it impossible to move.
And the two bridges in front of you…
“The groundwater flowing through the cave is a bit cold. But that’s the only water in this barren land.”
Han Ibi raised her gaze upward.
I saw a young man with a very slim but sturdy appearance.
Of course, upside down…
he said.
“This is fun. Master Moon definitely said to leave it alone… but I never dreamed it would grow at such a fast pace.”
Han Ibi was silent.
Not only could I not understand what was being said, but it was also not the time to say anything.
Then the young man spoke again.
“Welcome to the martial world. “Although I feel a bit sad that the welcome will turn into a goodbye.”
Han Ibi gathered her ever-dispersing focus and looked up at him again.
The young man said with a smile.
“Isn’t that right? New player?”
