Episode 894 It’s better to die than not to get it. (4)
Sweat.
It was a night of deep darkness, with even the moon hiding behind the clouds. A black shadow slowly made its way towards the warehouse at the top of the galaxy.
While looking around, he secretly hid in the shadows to avoid the eyes of passers-by.
Even the upper-ranking warrior, who must have been trained quite well in martial arts, was unable to detect his presence and calmly passed in front of him.
“….”
He waited in the dark for the warrior to completely pass by and carefully approached the warehouse. My eyes flashed eerily as I saw the large lock on the door.
Hehehe.
The man quietly placed his finger into the keyhole of the lock. After maintaining that position for a moment, he released his hand, took out a thin wire from his pocket, and bent it around.
The wire, folded into shape, went into the keyhole.
And after a while.
Click.
The lock opened naturally without any problem.
He carefully removed the open lock, looked around once again, adjusted his mask, and then quietly entered the warehouse.
Sarah. Sarah.
The sound of the cloth being stepped on on the floor to prevent the goods from getting damaged spread quietly.
The man, who succeeded in quietly closing the door, looked around the warehouse with keen eyes. It was full of all kinds of repaid items, but since they didn’t rush to look around, it seemed like they were targeting something else.
Eventually, he quietly closed his eyes in the middle of the warehouse. It’s as if the object you’re looking for cannot be determined with your eyes.
And…
flash.
Soon the man opened his eyes, and a dazzling light emanated from his eyes.
‘excuse me.’
He walked forward without hesitation and lightly tapped the back of his hand on the box stored in the coolest place.
Tung. Tung.
The corner of the man’s mouth hidden behind the mask curled up.
‘This is it.’
The hand that unwrapped the cloth wrapping the box was careful. Once the box was fully exposed, he grabbed the tightly nailed lid and gave it some strength.
Wow. Wow.
That was the exact moment when the lid of the box was finally torn off.
Jump up!
The closed warehouse door opened violently, and a group of warriors rushed inside.
“Stop moving!”
Then the person who opened the lid looked back in shock. The two eyes revealed through the mask were cruelly distorted.
“…Damn it.”
The hands moved before the head. As soon as he realized that there was a problem, the man shoved the contents of the box into his arms and kicked it on the floor.
“catch!”
A few people with swords drawn rushed at them like a lightning strike, but the man soared upwards faster than those following him. The intention was to break through the ceiling and escape.
But at that moment, a golden light quickly soared above the head of the flying masked man.
“Oooooh!”
Hyeyeon threw her body and threw a fist full of resentment at the masked person. The masked man flinched for a moment and tried to change direction by flipping his body in the air. However, at that moment, Baekcheon immediately pulled out his sword and fired sword energy at the masked man.
“Tsk!”
The masked man’s eyes become even more distorted.
There’s nothing you can’t fight if you want to fight, but if you wait, more people will come. Instead of dealing with them one by one, I should get out of there…
That was that moment.
Clap la la rock!
I heard the sound of metal intertwining from below, and then a large iron net flew out and hit the man.
“Ahh!”
The masked person, crushed by the net, fell straight down.
“Hold on tight!”
“Don’t miss it!”
“I got you!”
Yoonjong and Jo Geol held the end of the net tightly and pinned him to the floor. The man, who struggled for a moment, glared at those who had subdued him with his eyes filled with poison.
“This…”
A sound of teeth grinding came out of the man’s mouth. Baekcheon slowly approached him, looked down with cold eyes, and opened his mouth.
“…Take off this bastard’s mask first.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
When I reached into the fishing net and removed the mask, a very familiar face was revealed.
“Kaaaaaak!”
Those who saw their faces sighed in unison.
The masked person, or rather Cheongmyeong, glared at Hyeyeon with eyes full of venom.
“That damn bastard! “Did you seriously hit it?”
“…Amitabha Buddha. “It’s a misunderstanding, Siju.”
“misunderstanding? Misunderstanding? Oh right? Don’t you misunderstand? If you misunderstand twice, you’ll kill someone, right? misunderstanding?”
“Hmm.”
Hyeyeon seemed a little embarrassed and turned her head away. It was Baekcheon who saved him from embarrassment.
“No matter what…”
He frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
“No matter how much you want to drink, is it worth robbing the upper warehouse? huh? “You crazy guy!”
Just then, a white liquor bottle tumbled down in Cheongmyeong’s arms.
As Yunjong quickly snatched the bottle, Cheongmyeong opened her eyes and hurriedly shouted.
“I haven’t even tasted that!”
Baekcheon shook his head. Then he turned his gaze and praised Tang Xiaoso.
“…As you said, the net is effective.”
“You have to use a net to catch animals. Although holding a sword would be of no use.”
“No matter how insane that person is, he wouldn’t pull out a sword and swing his sword at me to stop him from being put to death.”
“I heard you were swinging it?”
“…let’s just pretend it’s not too crazy.”
Baekcheon squatted down in front of Cheongmyeong, looking behind him as if he were being private.
“Please act like a human being, okay? Where is this…”
“No, then give me money!”
“….”
“I don’t have a penny! I can’t even go outside! They don’t even let me drink! “Am I cleaning anything?”
“…You are a Taoist, Cheongmyeong.”
And a Taoist is originally a person who practices Tao!
It was that moment when Baekcheon’s head dropped as if he had no more strength to say anything.
Bong!
At that time, an incredibly refreshing sound rang out. Yoonjong took off the cap of the liquor bottle without thinking.
At that moment, a clean and fragrant scent spread throughout the warehouse.
gulp.
At that moment, Baekcheon’s uvula moved greatly. I swallowed my saliva without realizing it and turned my head in surprise to see Cheongmyeong’s eyes wide open and drool dripping down.
“…That…”
Even the others couldn’t take their eyes off the bottle.
Yoonjong, who sensed that he had made a big mistake, hurriedly closed the bottle again.
“….”
“….”
There was a strange silence.
The first person to break the silence and speak was, of course, the bravest person in the volcano, Jo Geol.
“Well… Actually, Cheongmyeong also did a good job, but… wouldn’t it be okay to have a bottle of alcohol?”
Of course, Cheongmyeong watched this battle from behind, but no one pointed out that fact.
“That’s right. In fact, if you have endured this much because of the nature of the death penalty, you have endured it for a long time. Isn’t it strange that a tiger is tied up and given only grass and no meat, but it doesn’t get affected? “Right?”
Tang Soso quickly stepped forward to offer assistance.
“Hmm. But we haven’t even been able to honor the victims’ souls yet…”
“Isn’t that what you normally drink at funerals?”
Yoon Jong, who was trying to politely object, glared at Jo Geol, who suddenly intervened. However, he too was momentarily speechless at this logic.
“Of course, you shouldn’t drink too much. If you drink too much. But it’s only about one bottle… shouldn’t we be able to keep an eye on it?”
It was at a time when Baekcheon was about to cut Jo Geol’s words off, saying they were nonsense.
“…I can have a drink while watching.”
“Sake, buy, buy?”
Baekcheon looked back at Yu Iseol with a face that had hit him in the back of the head. However, she turned her gaze and completely ignored Bai Qian’s gaze.
“Sasuk!”
“huh?”
Jo Geol spoke firmly with the face of an unprecedented life-or-death enemy in front of him.
“…make a decision!”
“Make a smart decision!”
“….”
Baekcheon’s trembling eyes fell on the bottle of alcohol that Yoonjong was holding.
In fact, it is true that it was they, not Cheongmyeong, who were really hungry for alcohol. Cheongmyeong must have found and drank the alcohol provided by Hwang Jong-ui in between training sessions.
It must have been difficult for Cheongmyeong to do the same after leaving the volcano and entering the mountains, but they were the ones who stopped drinking the longest.
‘Oh, no, but…’
Baekcheon shook his head and tried to demonstrate superhuman patience and reason as the next Jangmun, but the five swords’ eyes all pierced Baekcheon like fiery arrows.
‘You bastards.’
Decisions are frozen. You guys have already decided everything in your mind.
“Hmm.”
Baekcheon cleared his throat with a look of agony and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. There was light moisture on the sleeves.
“Then just one bottle…”
At that time, everyone raised their heads at the sound of a small sound coming from the front.
“…monk?”
Hyeyeon was already lifting the entire box that Cheongmyeong had opened.
“A bottle of ha….”
“Yes?”
Hyeyeon asked back with her big eyes shining brightly.
“…it’s nothing.”
Jo Geol and Yoon Jong approached Baek Cheon and whispered softly.
“Let’s leave secretly for now.”
“If possible, eat outside the top. “Because you might get caught.”
“You have to erase the traces. Surely.”
“Hmm.”
Jo-geol and Yoon-jong are discussing, and even Baek-cheon clears his throat as if Yoo I-seol is not guilty.
A weak voice came out from Cheongmyeong’s mouth, who was staring blankly at the sheep.
“…They play well.”
Put away your nets, you bastards!
* * *
Baekcheon, Yu Iseol, Yoon Jong, Jo Geol, Cheongmyeong, Dang Soso, and even Hyeyeon.
If Kang Ho-in saw these characters sitting together in one place, they would all be amazed.
Cheongmyeong, the best sword of Hwasan, who was recognized by Jang Il-so beyond the later index, and Baekcheon, the best sword of Hwasan, who is attracting the world’s attention with Hwasan’s next long seal. And even Hwasan Ogeom, who cannot be compared with later exponents of other sects, and Hyeyeon, the best artist in Shaolin.
These people can truly be called the talents who will lead the future powerhouse. It must be impressive to see such people sitting together in one place.
It’s definitely impressive. Impressive….
“Kaaaa!”
“and! “This sticks really well!”
“Is it because it’s expensive alcohol? Or is it because it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink?”
“One more drink.”
“private residence! I’ll follow along! I am!”
Baekcheon felt an indescribable feeling as he watched Tang Xiaoso fill Yu Yi-seol’s cup with excitement.
‘Is this really okay?’
No matter what, stealing alcohol from someone else’s warehouse…
Gulp! gulp! gulp! gulp!
“….”
But he soon smiled happily.
From the moment I realized that the person over there blowing vigorously from a bottle was Hyeyeon, not Cheongmyeong, these worries were meaningless.
‘Let’s not think about it.’
But….
“Keuuu!”
Ah-oh. Drink is good. It really sticks to your mouth.
Baekcheon, who had let go of his thoughts, cooled down a glass of wine and looked back at Cheongmyeong with a relaxed expression.
Gulp gurgle.
Eat well.
Cheongmyeong was handing over his drink as if he were a person wandering in the desert who finally found In-ga and drank some water.
“Krrrrrrgh!”
When I finally saw Cheongmyeong’s expression as he popped the empty bottle out of his mouth… I couldn’t help but wonder if there was anything special about happiness in life.
“Ah-oh. “I thought it was really falling apart.”
“…No one has died because they didn’t drink alcohol.”
“I almost got one for the first time.”
“…They say it won’t happen.”
Just don’t talk.
“More than that…”
Baekcheon opened his mouth, looking at Cheongmyeong with a very serious expression.
“What do you think will happen now?”
“hmm? What are you talking about all of a sudden? “I had a good time drinking.”
“Sapaeryeon.”
Thinking of them, a shadow naturally appeared on Baekcheon’s face.
“From what I heard, it sounds like the situation there isn’t going well either. Do you think they can sort out this situation?”
Cheongmyeong wiped his chin where a trickle of alcohol had spilled.
“Hmm.”
And he put the bottle down next to him. His eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his head.
