Episode 228. Han
Ibi, the access name , said.
“Well, honestly, it’s as tempting as millet. I am also quite satisfied with this life. But I cannot agree. “I want to go home and see my mom.”
Emperor Jingde said with evil eyes shining.
“The result of rejection is nothing but catastrophe. “You know the result.”
“Everything is good. “But let me ask you one question.”
“Do I need to answer?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you do it or not, but I’m really, really curious. “Who on earth is this evil spirit master?”
“grow.”
At that time, a voice was suddenly heard.
Han Ibi was startled and hurriedly turned around.
A shadow slowly approaching.
The brightly burning lamp cleared the darkness, and his true appearance began to come into view.
And that face…
is someone Han Ibi is familiar with.
Han Ibi was unable to speak easily due to the recent situation that was so unexpected.
The man said.
“I’m very happy, but you don’t seem to be very happy.”
Yes.
A very handsome middle-aged man.
His identity was none other than the Murim lord Zhuge Yuxian.
He opened his mouth again.
“My nickname is… Evil Spirit Gong (Evil Spirit Gong).”
At that time, Emperor Jingde spoke with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
“I heard you just quietly watch. Is there a need to come forward like this?”
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian waved his hand and said.
“I was so bored to death if I stayed still.”
“Hmm. “If you reveal your identity like this, you have no choice but to kill this guy, right?”
“Do you still have regrets? This guy is wrong anyway. You know it when you see it. It doesn’t seem like they have much intention of cooperating. “Now we have to cut it off before it ripens any further.”
Emperor Jingde clicked his tongue and said:
“Still, I did one thing well. Although he was a bit ignorant… he was an excellent hunting dog.”
“Even hunting dogs are boiled after the hunt is over.”
At that time, Han Ibi, who had come to her senses for a while, spoke.
“Ohh. So… it was all in one piece.”
Zhuge Yuxian said with a smile.
“You mean you finally found out about that?”
“Holy shit. So, it seems like these two people were having fun messing around with me, who didn’t know anything. “They blame all the bad things on me, who is innocent.”
Emperor Jingde said:
“To be precise, I was raised. Thanks to us, they must have raised their level a lot. Various opportunities arise for new players. Should I call it luck? But that alone is not enough. “This is a fairly unfair game designed to favor the player who lasts the longest.”
Han Ibi said while shrugging her shoulders.
“I thought it was strange because he was so relaxed.”
“Anyway, you must never forget. “How much we helped you with yin and yang.”
“Hehehe. Are you going to protest that it was an invisible master? It was blowing its nose without using its hands… and when it fell asleep, it was trying to eat it. Are all the surviving players like that? This is truly petty. “I respect you.”
Emperor Jingde snorted and said.
“When we cooperate with each other, we become stronger. If you stay here for a long time, you will get the hang of it. Of course, it will end as of today, so there will be no opportunity to utilize it.”
Han Ibi said with a grin.
“great. “To die is to die, so let’s ask one more question.”
Zhuge Yuxian said.
“However much.”
“As far as I know, there are only two players in this opening section… but why are there three players?”
Then Zhuge Yuxian said with sparkling eyes.
“Have you already acquired player detection skills? Quite a bit. “It always exceeds expectations.”
“Thank you for the compliment, but you haven’t answered my question yet.”
“ha ha ha. You have a short temper. good. “Rather than a game of baduk, this is… something… I guess it should be called a kind of chess.”
“Janggi?”
“okay. long time. “There’s something in Janggi that’s not in Baduk, right?”
Han Ibi frowned and repeated those words again.
“If it’s something that’s not in Baduk but is in Janggi… Aha. “Are you talking about the king?”
“yes. “As expected, your head is working well.”
“So… does that mean you are the king?”
“Hmm. “So to speak.”
“I understand now. The Demon Lord… refers to the opposing king that I must kill. And that’s who you are.”
“A master player, to be exact.”
Han Yi Fei said while glancing at Emperor Jingde.
“So… it turns out that the emperor was actually a subject. “This is fun.”
Zhuge Yuxian smiled and answered.
“Hehehe. “There’s nothing you can’t say to the emperor of a country.”
At that time, Han Ibi raised her eyebrows as if she was puzzled and asked.
“Why are some people master players and others ordinary players? “It feels somewhat unfair.”
The Emperor of Jingde, who was no better than that, intervened.
“I don’t have time to play with this guy anymore. “I’m going to end it now.”
However, Zhuge Yuxian spoke as if he had not heard those words.
“why? Are you feeling unfair that your guy is not a master player? haha. “To become a master player, you have to have a stake in this world.”
“A share? Do I have to pay any money?”
Han Ibi, who was tilting her head like that, then snapped her fingers and said.
“ah! Is that what you mean when you say you have a stake? Then you…”
“That’s right. “I was originally a writer.”
“ah…!”
Han Ibi stammered for a moment, causing an earthquake in her eyes.
“Then, you couldn’t possibly have written a dream of the salt sand, right?”
Then Zhuge Yuxian rolled his eyes and said.
“Hehehe. “How could I possibly have written a book like that?”
At that moment, Han Ibi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
“phew. thank god.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is such a thing.”
“Anyway, a lot of time has passed, so let’s stop chatting…”
Zhuge Yuxian continued with sharp eyes.
“…There is a problem that needs to be solved before I die.”
Han Ibi asked.
“What is that?”
“I mean Seolmokdeuk.”
“aha. You are talking about the person I rescued from Cheonseong Palace. “Why him?”
“Do you know why he was caught with Ganja?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“Hehehe. “It’s because I stole something from Qilian Gate.”
“Ego. “So theft isn’t a bad thing.”
“What did they steal?”
“A hundred and eight… I guess it was a coincidence?”
“It’s similar. The stolen item is… a ‘tactical strategy book’ known as a treasure trove of wisdom.”
Han Ibi felt like sweat was running down her back, but she spoke as if nothing had happened.
“What is that?”
“It is a tool that strengthens wisdom. But what’s even more amazing is that it is a means of directly contacting the designer of this world.”
“Ohh. “It’s really amazing.”
The moment Han Yi-bi suddenly remembered the ‘advice’ skill of Tactical Strategy and Perseverance, Zhuge Yuxian spoke.
“Seol Mok-deuk, who could not deliver it to us directly, entrusted the package to a trustworthy bureau under the guise of being a scholar, but… such a foolish national master of Yeosun Pyoguk! “The information leaked out somewhere and the villagers, who had no idea where it was going, started fighting over the treasure.”
“The more I hear about it, the more fascinating it becomes. But why did you do that to me….”
“Yes, why you?”
“yes?”
“I grabbed the green rimchae that I was fussing about back then and cut it. But why are you saying that there was a person with the same appearance as you there?”
“I don’t know that.”
“It doesn’t matter. Because it’s all going to blow later. When that time comes, maybe…”
Zhuge Yuxian continued, smiling with his teeth exposed.
“…You will beg me to kill you quickly.”
The elaborate coincidences of this world… It is very similar to classic martial arts novels.
How can it be that all the characters are so intertwined that they can’t come to their senses?…
Han Ibi shook her head once and said,
“So, the point is that if I kill the Murim Lord, or rather the evil spirit master, today, my mission will be completed.”
Then Zhuge Yuxian laughed and said.
“You are making fun of this damn system. “Things are not that simple.”
Han Ibi asked with a frown.
“What other restrictions are there?”
“Have you found your lord?”
“I found it… I just found out that such a person exists.”
“I clearly said it was similar to shogi. The player’s choreography follows a strict cooperation system. So…”
Zhuge Yuxian continued with a mocking expression.
“…You must receive the command of the relevant monarch and confront him at close range.”
Then Han Ibi said, clapping her hands as if she realized something.
“aha. It’s like a fight with the heads of kings on the line. It’s literally a death match. So… I also need someone who is my monarch or something to fulfill the conditions for completing the mission.”
At that moment, the worse Emperor Jingde intervened.
“Why are you explaining so kindly to a kid who doesn’t know anything? “I’m really going to finish it now.”
After hearing that, Han Ibi screamed.
“no. These old men have no conscience. “I can’t believe two people are trying to persecute me at the same time.”
It was then.
A voice was heard again.
“It’s impossible for them to attack at the same time.”
Surprisingly…
there was someone else in here.
Han Ibi thought.
‘No… The imperial palace is not some kind of playground… Well, everyone is flocking here and there.’
At the same time, he was nervous and watching the doll coming out of the shadows.
And that person…
was a face that Han Ibi knew.
Han Ibi is startled.
That’s because he was the same middle-aged man in black who taught Song Myeong-cheon the Hongmong Great Law.
The man said.
“The master player cannot attack directly except for his subordinates. Even if you try to do that, all skills will be neutralized. The person who needs to run away is not actually a regular player, but a master. So it’s impossible from the beginning for those two to attack you together.”
At that time, Emperor Jingde shouted loudly.
“Who are you and how dare you break into the imperial palace!”
The middle-aged man said while giggling.
“Let’s not play with people who know everyone. “The emperor is freezing to death… so it’s a good thing he doesn’t have to eat outside.”
This time Zhuge Yuxian spoke.
“Please identify yourself.”
The middle-aged man said.
“Is there even a need for that between us? Lord Maeng.”
Sreung.
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian drew his sword and spoke again.
“If you don’t reveal your identity, you will die.”
Then the middle-aged man in black took a pose that seemed to raise both arms and said with a smile.
“All right. all right. If I don’t listen to the words of the Great Murim Lord, whose words will I listen to? “We shouldn’t do that among ourselves.”
Then, he immediately raised his hand and ripped off his bast face.
“Oh!”
“no!”
All three people who saw the man’s true appearance were shocked and let out an expression of astonishment.
Among them, Han Ibi was the first to pretend to know.
“Head of the Maeng clan!”
Yes.
The identity of the middle-aged man is none other than Maeng Gap-son.
Isn’t he the one who actually took care of all the bad work within the Murim Alliance?
At that time, Emperor Jingde spoke with a very stern expression.
“Head of the Maeng clan. “How did this… happen?”
Then Maeng Gap-son smiled and answered.
“You two have known each other for a long time, but now it’s time to officially say hello.”
Maeng Gap-son took a step forward and continued speaking.
“My nickname is ‘Jugak (主角)’. “He is one of the master players.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian laughed so loudly that it seemed as if the palace would leave.
“You fooled us well. Maeng head of the family. No…should we call it a plinth now?”
