Episode 864 They say I don’t know where I am, but I know where I am. (4)
Luoyang’s entertainment district.
It is now an old city that has lost its former glory, but Luoyang is still Luoyang. The brightly lit streets at night were attracting countless bus moths who were tired of life.
“Ugh… I’m drunk.”
“Giggle. You’ve become very weak! “How much did you drink?”
“joy. There’s still a long way to go. “I can drink until dawn.”
“Tsk tsk. Bravado is light on the pocketbook… Ugh! what!”
The drunk, who had been staggering around, fell to the floor with a thump. My shoulder collided with someone passing by.
“This guy is crazy…!”
The man’s mouth, which was about to scream reflexively, closed like a clam for a moment.
“….”
The person he hit glanced down at him. It’s not a particularly scary face. Besides, it wasn’t too bulky.
However, the man who fell could not breathe and had no choice but to fall.
It’s not because the wall is small. Anyone who saw the dozens of knife marks on his face would have the same reaction as the man.
“Uh… uh….”
His friend, who had sobered up, quickly ran over and bowed violently.
“sorry! This friend was very drunk…” “
….”
“I will apologize on his behalf, sir!”
The person who was staring at the two people with cold eyes was about to move his shoulder slightly when the person standing next to him placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Let’s go without wasting time.”
“….”
Then the man covered in knife marks twitched his lips once.
He stared at them with eyes that didn’t know what he was thinking, but then turned away without saying a word.
Then the person who had tried to dissuade the man giggled and said to the drunk people.
“I think there’s a gambling house in front of me, so stop by. “I think you guys are really lucky today.”
“….”
“No, no. Have you used up all your luck? Maybe so. “You can meet a blood-slaughtering beast and still survive.”
The man who was muttering to himself soon caught up with the person walking ahead of him and accelerated his pace.
“….”
The drunkards, who had sobered up all at once, were wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
“What… a person’s face…”
“Did you see the eyes?”
“It must be Kang Ho-in, right?”
“Of course it is.”
It is not as common as you think for ordinary people to meet Kang Ho-in.
“Why is Kang Ho-in here… huh?”
The person who was mumbling absently flinched and shrugged his shoulders. This is because the person who passed right next to him had a sword hanging from his waist that was so large that just looking at it made you feel sick.
“….”
It’s not just Tao.
A jagged spear rises above the back of the person walking in front, and Jang Han, who has a huge body that appears to have extraordinary strength at a glance, also strides forward.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone who passed by was giving off an eerie vibe.
The others must have sensed this too, holding their breath and starting to retreat to the side of the road.
“Has there been a war?”
“Where on earth did all those strong people come from?”
As people with scary faces began to appear here and there, the common people glanced at them with a feeling of half curiosity and half fear.
However, there was someone watching this scene with a completely different perspective.
‘…An iron ghost, Hoeseon Changgwi, and a manger swordsman in blood slaughter? ‘What the fuck is all this about?’
The face of Kwak Byeong, head of the Open Luoyang branch, turned pale as he saw the powerful masters of the four factions rushing in.
If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I would never have believed that they were all gathered in one place. Because Safa people are basically more wary of and dislike the same Safa faction than the political faction.
‘I need to call for support.’
But to put it the other way around, it means that something big enough to bring people who are fighting against each other together in one place is happening.
Kwak Byeong, who was scared and was about to turn around, saw something that caught his eye and froze in place.
“Uh… uh…?”
I could clearly see the face of a man walking from the other side.
“Everyone is single… single-married blood beast…”
Kwak Byeong’s face turns pale.
If what he had seen so far were those who had made a name for themselves among Gangnam’s four schools, the single-minded bloodsucker is a ‘big name’ who cannot even be compared to them.
The middle-aged man, who was skinny and looked dangerous, was walking at a leisurely pace, then slightly shifted his gaze to stare at Kwak Byeong.
“….”
The moment our eyes met, Kwak Byeong’s whole body became as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
‘I recognize myself…’
But that was all.
Although he must have recognized that he was an open dog, the single-minded blood beast passed by without showing any particular interest.
“….”
Kwak Byeong, whose legs lost strength, collapsed on the spot.
“Branch Manager Ji.”
“Are you okay?”
The beggars in the back quickly ran over and helped him up.
“…What the hell is going on here?”
Instead of answering, Gwak Byeong followed the Sapa people with his eyes.
As they walked down the main street, the watchtower of Hwahwaru stood tall.
It is no exaggeration to say that the top floor of a kiru receives only the richest guests, and the status of a kiru depends on how extravagantly the top floor is decorated.
The top floor of Hwahwaru was also beautifully decorated with exquisite decorations, befitting its reputation as Luoyang First Lu.
but.
The top floor of Hwahwaru, which would normally be noisy with the sound of gold being struck and the laughter of courtesans, was now filled with dead silence.
“….”
Those sitting on chairs that looked expensive at first glance looked straight ahead in silence.
It was fun.
Currently, there are at least twenty people sitting on the top floor of Hwahwaru. But no one spoke first and none of them made eye contact.
They know.
Although they are collectively called Sapa, they cannot get along well with each other in the first place. What reason can there be for people who swing swords at each other and don’t even hesitate to stick a sword in the back to take over more territory?
It was even more surprising that even though this many people were gathered in one place, there was no stabbing.
They were gathered here today for a reason and needed to avoid unnecessary conflict, so they were trying to avoid provoking each other as much as possible.
But… as the silence continued for this long, someone finally appeared who couldn’t stand it.
“Damn it! “How long do I have to wait?”
Byeoksado (碧蛇刀) Jinryang (眞自) shouted loudly. It’s already been about half an hour since they arrived here, but the people who gathered them are nowhere to be seen.
Of course it’s something to be angry about.
However, it seemed that there were some who did not think so.
“Don’t make a fuss, kid.”
“…what?”
“It means shut your mouth before I put the knife at your waist in your mouth.”
Blood lines began to appear in the evil apostle’s eyes.
“Do you have the ability to do that?”
When the evil apostle growled, the person called the enemy chuckled.
“It’s not easy for me to deal with your evil apostles alone.”
“You know me well.”
“But I guess there are more than ten people here who could put a knife in your head? “Know the topic and talk about it.”
“You bitch…”
The evil apostle was about to throw a fit.
“It’s noisy.”
“….”
The evil apostle closed his mouth.
His eyes fell on the single-minded bloodthirsty person sitting at the very back. Seeing the expressionless face whose true intentions were hard to guess, the evil apostle blushed but sat back down in his seat without saying a word.
Even though he was so infamous in Zhejiang that his name alone made a child stop crying, he could not dare to offend that single-minded bloodthirsty.
Kang-ho means strong self-respect.
And the law of strong self-respect is observed even more thoroughly in the world of Safa.
“But…”
At that time, the single-minded blood beast opened its mouth with a little annoyance.
“It’s true that it’s boring. “Gangseo Chilsal is not very good at treating guests.”
“If you were a guest, you would have been treated well.”
At that moment, the door behind them swung open and seven men walked inside. Everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on that direction.
‘They…’
‘…Indeed.’
The world is wide and spacious.
Even though they are famous, not everyone is acquainted with them. Even if you know its name and its reputation.
And those who saw Gangseo Chilsal for the first time here today nodded without realizing it.
Cheolgwi twisted the corner of his mouth.
‘I guess the rumors weren’t exaggerated.’
It’s a wave of energy that makes your fingertips tingle.
Gangseo Seven Years Old. Seven sworn brothers who are called the envoys of Gangseo Province.
Each and every one of them were people who could build a tower with notoriety.
Therefore, they inevitably had to face each other. If two tigers cannot live on one mountain, then if seven tigers live on one mountain, hell will inevitably unfold.
However, instead of fighting and killing each other, the Gangseo Chilsal formed sworn brothers.
Although there were only seven in number, it was the moment when a powerful group was born that no power in the world could easily touch.
Especially….
‘The author killed himself. Is it Guido-Mujeong Galcheon-rip?’
The moment I see the person walking at the front with a leisurely expression, I feel like the muscles in my entire body are tense. The body instinctively knows the danger and warns the author.
Jerk. Jerk.
Galcheonrip, who slinked forward, turned his body and grinned at everyone.
“Welcome you trash. No… should we just call them the bastards who ran away?”
“This…”
Everyone’s faces stiffened at the sudden outpouring of swear words.
“I didn’t know that lying down and spitting was your hobby?”
As Cheolgwi laughed coldly, Galcheonrip burst out laughing.
“That is also true. Say hello. “It is said to be Galcheonrip, a glimpse of the Seven Views of Gangseo.”
Those with their arms folded nodded lightly.
Even without specifically hearing it, everyone already guessed that he was Galcheonrip. First of all, the momentum is different.
“Let’s get to the point.”
Galcheonrip opened his mouth as if there was no need to be polite.
“The fact that these guys who live for their own good tastes took such heavy steps to get here means that their belly skin is sticking to their back skin, right? “I ran away to Gangbuk to avoid the wolves, and this is where the tigers live.”
Everyone here is a person who moved to Gangbuk because they did not want to fall under the control of the Sapaeryun.
Because Jang Il-so offered only submission or death as a choice.
But there was no way paradise could be found where they fled.
Although it was not as brutal as Gangnam, Gangbuk was a place where it was even more difficult to breathe. Because every time you try to do something, those damn Shaolin and Dangga gangsters come running like crazy and are watching you.
Although they didn’t specifically open their mouths to say anything, everyone was feeling deeply sick of this reality.
That’s why I responded to Galcheonrip’s call like this. If the situation hadn’t been like this, this group of people would never have gathered face to face in one place.
Especially since they came to Gangbuk in the first place because they hated being in groups.
“Speak without talking nonsense. “Why did you call us?”
Gal Cheon-rip’s eyes lit up at the words of the single-honed blood beast.
“If the world’s single-minded blood beast asks, I have to give you an answer. The reason for calling is very simple. “I ran out of money.”
Those words brought laughter from all over the place.
“so? “Are you asking me to at least act as an enemy?”
“I’m a beggar too, but you’re probably a beggar too, right? “You can’t receive favor from a beggar. If that’s the case…”
A bright blue light poured out of Galcheonrip’s eyes.
“It is better to kill and steal.”
Even the air in the room began to cool at that cold voice.
