< Episode 24: Raw Footnote (5) >
“Don’t you want to take the chance?”
The moment I heard this I got goosebumps all over my body.
The smile on his face that seemed to reach his ears seemed so full of malice.
‘….I took this guy too lightly.’
Although he was talented I thought he was still a kid with a lot to learn.
But now that I look at it it wasn’t.
This guy was no different from a wild beast that would bite off the back of his head if he even showed the slightest hint.
Jo Eui-gong’s eyes moved here and there.
-Aaaah!
The three ghost kidneys are still bound in chains and cannot escape.
In Seo-ok a teacher and a cornerstone of Wonsalgak lost her will by becoming a living ghost through the Six-In-Law Necromancy.
The hand of Bangsangjo’s ball clenching her fist gradually loses its strength.
There are a number of hidden secrets she has.
The thought that more than one thing wouldn’t work against him ran through her mind.
‘I heard you had a disturbing dream.’
I guess something like this was going to happen today.
Should I call it a turning point in my life?
That seems to have happened.
After looking up at the sky for a moment and letting out a long sigh the ball of Bangsajo lowered his head and parted his lips.
“….What will I gain if I say I will accept the opportunity?”
“You made a good choice.”
At his words Mok Gyeong-un nodded his head as if he would have done so and tried to approach him.
“Don’t come closer. No decision has been made yet. “Answer my question.”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? “I said I would help you become a footnote in Wonsalgak.”
Mok Gyeong-un said pointing to In Seo-ok the master of Wonsal Gak with a gesture of his head.
At this Bangsa Jo Uigong’s eyes narrowed.
It seemed like he meant to manipulate his teacher into giving the position to himself.
However there was a problem here.
“Do you think Master Brother won’t notice that you have turned into a ghost?”
“Will you notice?”
“He is already a great type who is comparable to the teacher in terms of his main strength and martial arts skills alone. “He will definitely notice if we meet him face to face.”
Jo Tae-cheong the ambassador type.
It is said that he was received by Wonsalga lord Seo-ok as her disciple more than thirty years ago.
His talent is so outstanding that it is no exaggeration to say that he has already been designated as the next Wonsal Gakju.
It was not easy to deceive the eyes and senses of such a large figure.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Shouldn’t Master at least make sure we don’t meet in person until Master Taesabu takes over?”
“what?”
“I set the table for you but do I have to serve you with a spoon? “I think you can definitely do that.”
Hearing Mo Kyung-un’s words Bangsa Jo Ui-gong looked at him in silence.
Does this mean we should be prepared to take this much risk?
Joe’s balls clicked his tongue inwardly without a word.
And then he said.
“i get it. “If you transfer some of the control over the living ghost to me I will do whatever it takes.”
“Then is it done?”
“no. “There are two more.”
“Do you have two?”
“okay. “Cooperating with you means that I too must be prepared to lose everything I have built up.”
“So you’re saying we need to pay more for it?”
Mo Kyung-un’s voice became somewhat quiet.
He meant that something was becoming emotionally unsettling.
However Bangsang Cho Uigong also had no intention of backing down.
This was because he thought that if he didn’t make sure and move on he would end up being dragged around carelessly by this guy.
“So what do you want?”
“Six Necromancers.”
“Six Human Necromancy?”
“I want the secret you have.”
Mokgyeongun’s six-person necromancy was successful even though it did not meet the conditions of the evil energy of the dead.
The Duke of Bangsangjo who saw this could not help but be astonished in his heart.
What on earth did he do to make this possible?
This stimulated a strong curiosity purely as a radiation source.
‘I want to know.’
It was no exaggeration to say that Mok Kyung-un’s six-man necromancy was in a way a complement to existing weaknesses.
If the numerous sacrifices made to create a single live ghost can be omitted there is no technique that is as effective as that.
‘Shall I teach you?’
To be honest he was skeptical.
He would not share this secret with anyone if it were him or his teacher In Seo-ok.
however
“If you really want it I’ll teach you.”
“what?”
At that moment Jo Eui-gong looked at Mo Kyung-un with blank eyes.
Are you teaching me this?
If you believe me I just tried to get my money’s worth.
His real purpose was:
However I had no idea that Mok Kyung-un would really tell me the secret of the Six Man Necromancy.
Jo Eui-gong seemed a little excited at this and asked with trembling eyes.
“…Is that really true?”
“You said you wanted that in return.”
“okay!”
When Mok Kyung-un saw the strength in his voice he chuckled.
I think he really wanted a secret.
Of course it wasn’t that difficult to tell.
only
‘Is it possible to know?’
Only he who had a unique constitution was able to absorb the energy of the dead.
He said that if what Cheongnyeong said was correct a living person cannot accept fraud into his body.
So even if I knew it it was of no use.
“What is the third and final price?”
Jo Eui-gong who couldn’t hide his excitement at Mo Kyung-un’s question calmed his emotions and said
“We decided to be together so swear.”
“oath? “What?”
“I will do my best to help you if you swear that you will not harm me or take my life.”
This was more important than other masters.
After experiencing this guy he had no hesitation in killing someone if necessary.
That’s why I definitely wanted to do it here.
Of course even if I swear it here I will never believe it.
All he wanted to do was buy time because if he made an oath he would try to maintain it for a while according to his own needs.
‘And since I asked for this price you’ll believe that I will definitely follow you.’
His real purpose was here.
After making him believe in himself he will take action.
How can you trust and follow a man who killed even Taesabu so casually?
Bangsa Joui-gong said this while hiding his true intentions.
“What are you going to do?”
“If you’re anxious of course you should do it.”
“…..”
This guy’s words seemed polite but there was something that secretly irritated him.
However right now he was in a situation where he had to humble himself so he didn’t show it.
He couldn’t help but be amazed that the situation had changed so much in just 15 days.
That said
“There is a way for you to feel safe Master.”
“How can I be safe?”
What are you trying to say?
While I was wondering Mok Gyeong-un took off Ju-eon’s chain from his wrist waved it and said
“I think you can wear this and swear to me.”
“what?”
For a moment Jo Eui-gong was dumbfounded.
Are you telling me to wear that thing and swear an oath?
“You’re saying that now…..”
“Tie it up.”
-Chrrrrrr!
As soon as he finished speaking the chains of the green spirit Kyu Soo-ha shot up from the floor and restrained his body.
‘this!’
In response the Duke of Jo moved his finger and tried to make an informal sign.
-fault!
It was that moment.
“Huh?”
what? But before he knew it Mok Gyeong-un arrived in front of Jo Eui-gong.
It was about ten paces away but when they reached it in the blink of an eye Jo Ui-gong was taken aback and quickly tried to complete the hand sign.
But before that Mo Kyung-un grabbed his wrist first.
-closely!
“Huh!”
He squeezed it so hard that it felt like his wrist was going to break.
I was in so much pain that I couldn’t breathe properly but Mok Gyeong-un spoke.
“I’m telling you because I think you’re mistaken but I’m giving you a chance because I want you to become a more willing and loyal dog.”
“Leave this…”
-With tea!
Mo Gyeong-un fastened the chains of Zhou Eon to the wrists of Jo Eui-gong who was suffering.
And he said with a grin.
“If Master trusts me and follows me then there is no reason for me to harm Master right? So please swear like I did last time.”
-Aaaah!
Joe’s ball writhed in pain as his wrist was grabbed.
It really felt like it was going to break.
“Or it’s okay to just keep holding on. It might be fun to break them one by one.”
‘This bastard…..’
He looked at Mok Gyeong-un in pain and saw that he was staring at himself as if he was enjoying this.
Seeing that Jo Eui-gong realized that he had no choice.
This guy was enjoying this situation.
If you don’t swear you really will do what you say.
At this Duke Jo could barely bear his pain and said:
“I… I Jo Eui-gong understand the meaning of Mok Gyeong-un…”
“Ah. Please say Jeong (正) not Mokgyeongun.”
“what!?”
Jo Eui-gong’s eyes wavered.
‘under!’
Now the question has been resolved.
Ju-eon’s contract can only bind his will if he uses his true name.
Of course he was the son of Yeon Mokgeomjang and everyone called him Mok Gyeong-un so there was never any suspicion about this.
But you lied about your name?
‘Only with such ridiculous moves…’
It was so frustrating.
“Now can you stop freaking out and do it right?”
-Aaaah!
Mo Kyung-un tightened his hands even more.
At this Duke Jo hurriedly spoke.
“Off. “I… I Lord Jo Ui will follow the will of the Lord.”
As soon as he finished speaking his chains began to rattle and tremble.
Then Mok Gyeong-un let go of the wrist he was holding.
“Gasp….Gasp…..”
Jo Eui-gong whose face was red and covered in sweat from how much it hurt clenched his teeth as he held on to his wrist.
He even swore an oath to the guy he accepted as his disciple.
How did this happen?
Mok Gyeong-un placed his hand on his suffering shoulder and said with a smile.
“I don’t know what to do when I hear that Master is helping my student like this.”
‘…What have I done?’
I think I accepted a devil as my disciple.
* * *
This was Honghye-bang a gibang located on the outskirts of the outer walls of Cheonjihoe.
There was an alluring and beautiful woman with her eyes open trying to look at the distant mountains.
She was Ha Chae-rin or Go Chan possessed in the body of Bisalmun one of the three major killing groups.
‘Damn it. ‘Where should I focus my attention?’
Go Chan was truly embarrassed.
With the help of a travel agent she was safely cremated.
Ha Chae-rin’s face which is quite beautiful with just her bare face was transformed into an even more gorgeous flower when the skill of Gibang Jang-soo who can be called an expert was touched.
‘I’m going crazy.’
But there was only one reason why Gochan was so embarrassed.
It had nowhere to put its eyes.
The place he was currently in was a common room where courtesans waited and all of their clothes were so thin that you could see them all if you looked a little hard.
“oh. Sister. “Didn’t you put too much effort into it?”
“This guy. What do you do if you don’t give yourself strength on a day like today? “You too were very determined to show all of your inner skin.”
“Crackling. That’s correct. “How could I miss an opportunity like today?”
Go-chan pricked up his ears and turned his head toward the ceiling as the courtesans chatted with great enthusiasm.
From what I heard a lot of guests made reservations today.
It seemed like they were doing this because they asked him to prepare the most courteous and beautiful courtesans.
[It was said that someone with a fairly high position in the Heaven and Earth Association was coming.]
Thinking that what the traveling vet said was right he asked to be let in as well but he was at a loss as to what to do.
Of the 40 or so courtesans here only 60000 can fit inside.
Maybe that’s why it’s not a joke to keep checks on each other even though you’re like older sisters.
I was laughing and fighting but I was getting tired.
Do you have to go to this extent to infiltrate the Cheonjihoe for the sake of the owner Mok Kyung-un? I even thought about it.
As he was doing so someone came up to Gochan.
“You there.”
“…”
“Newbie. “You.”
At the call Gochan pointed to himself with his hand.
Then a mature courtesan who appeared to be in her mid-20s standing in front of her snorted and said.
“Your arrogant sister is talking to you but you don’t even answer. What a great newcomer. “Who told you to come into this room?”
“note…..”
How should I say this?
I understand that she is quite old for a courtesan in her mid-20s but her actual age is different from this body.
Maybe that’s why she didn’t readily say anything.
Obviously I have to act but my male pride doesn’t allow me to say the word ‘sister’.
‘Damn it.’
In response Gochan bowed his head to avoid unnecessary quarrel.
“You’re not going to answer until the end?”
As soon as he could do that a courtesan in her twenties suddenly tried to slap Gochan on the cheek.
Of course there was no way Gochan who was possessed by the body of a master at his peak could be slapped.
-Poof!
I easily dodged the flying courtesan’s wrist.
At this the courtesan raised her eyebrows and raised her voice.
“What? Are you avoiding her hands now?”
Gochan who thought he would get tired if he had to deal with it any longer waved his hand and said.
“Look. Sozer. I have no intention of fighting Soger. So please stop here.”
The courtesan’s expression became blank at this kind of high-chan’s tone.
“What… he talks like an old man.”
“…”
Gochan felt like it was a mistake for a moment when the courtesan said those words.
She should have imitated the younger women’s speaking style to some extent but her mistake was to momentarily avoid her argument.
Then she said that she was a courtesan.
“If you avoid your hand this time you’d better be prepared.”
It looked like the courtesan would have to slap her somehow to relieve her anger.
Gochan looked at her with a straight face and said.
“You keep saying ‘Unnie Sister’ but Sojeo… No I’m probably older than you.”
“what?”
“Even though I look like this I’m twenty-seven.”
Go-chan spoke to her who seemed to be roughly her age and older than her.
When I saw that they were discussing hierarchy while talking about older sisters I thought it would be easier to say that they were a little older than me.
I couldn’t ruin the work by causing a dispute here.
Then the courtesan snorted and said.
“aha. That’s right. “He’s new but he’s a bit older than he looks.”
“Hmm. So let’s stop fighting pointlessly with each other at this point…”
-Sigh!
She was a courtesan rolled up her sleeves and spoke as if she wanted everyone to hear.
“Look carefully. “It’s a fight between sisters.”
“…..”
Gochan seriously considered changing this plan.
