Episode 909:
I forgot. Flash.
Jin Cheonhee blinked. In front, Tianyu and Sima Hyeon are sitting and talking about something.
Jin Cheonhee was not embarrassed.
Should I try a regression or two?
‘No. This is my second time.’
The regression itself is like that.
He died during the battle with Baekcheon’s army, but lost a large amount of blood as a cost of survival while crossing space.
During the Jinju Eonga period, the people of Jinju Eonga were returned from being a river city to being alive. In return, I had to sacrifice my hair.
If you think about it.
In the end, I lost the most when I turned back time.
Because the finger that disappeared back then has not returned even now.
-Tick.
The unexpected sound of the clock was heard again.
Jin Cheon-hee wiped away her tears with her sleeve as if nothing had happened and immediately stretched out her hand.
He takes out the clay watch that Yuho gave him.
It’s an ugly potato fox with a clock underneath.
I thought it might have been received from a western alchemist, but there seemed to be more to it.
Listen to your ears.
“….”
Again, no sound is heard.
Nevertheless, strangely enough, the hour and minute hands move according to the time.
There are many silent watches in modern times, but there is no such thing as this era.
There must be some unknown alchemy involved.
‘On the outside, it’s just a cute watch…’
Looking at its appearance alone, I can’t in good conscience call it a watch.
It just feels like it was roughly made by hand.
But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t make it completely.
It’s cute in its own way.
When I say this, Yuho makes an expression of extreme disgust.
‘How did this guy prevent causality?’
My personal preference is potatoes, but isn’t what people think of Murimjibo different?
And this is especially true if it is a treasure that deceives the law of causality.
‘Hey, even if I come out during a body search, I don’t think they’ll think this is right. It would be better if it was something like the inspector bracelet given to me by the imperial palace.’
But isn’t it okay to be cute?
Tears flow again.
‘Oh, my vision is blurry.’
Jin Cheon-hee wipes her eyes with her sleeve again and observes the Toyong clock.
Shake the watch a few times and look at each and every scratch on the surface.
And then I finally gave up.
‘I don’t know.’
Anyway, I turned back the time and when the settlement was made….
Bleep–!
just as expected.
Tinnitus that feels like it’s going to split open covers my ears.
Goosebumps ran down my back.
That sound was the sound that Jin Cheon-hee was most afraid of.
A fear that makes the inside of your armpits stiff.
Now it was my turn to lose something.
Whether it’s fingers, blood, or hair.
The price of turning back time must be high.
-Tick.
That moment.
Tinnitus stops.
The second, minute, and hour hands of the clock began to move backwards.
The hour and minute hands turned and turned and turned and stopped, as if they could pay for time just by turning the clock.
-Tick.
-….
There is no sound anymore.
Tinnitus and the sound of a clock ticking.
‘Is this all?’
Jin Tianxi looked down at her hands.
Then I tried to turn the hour and minute hands by hand.
Perfect!
It didn’t work as if something was stuck.
The moment I felt that sensation, I felt like I knew why.
Fuxi’s blood whispered knowledge.
It was a deeper sense than the sixth sense people talk about, but a shallower sense than the study you acquire by directly reading books.
Nevertheless, I was able to ‘just’ know.
They are natural shamans and possessors of divine blood.
‘ah. Right. ‘You have to wait until it’s charged.’
This watch is like a kind of amulet doll.
Its role is to receive misfortune on behalf of its owner.
‘If I die here and turn back time, then I will receive a proper reward in my body.’
In terms of the game, it’s like having one more heart.
‘If you put together what Yuho said, the good deeds I have done become causality and become something like the power of this clock, and when I die and have to pay the price, they ward off evil instead.’
I figured out the structure in an instant.
‘But if I just use this, won’t it break?’
I’m a bit worried about durability.
Even though the time when animation robots are smashed by enemies is the time when new products are shipped, this is a martial arts world.
If you smash a Toyong watch while believing in the shipment of a new product…
‘Well, next time, I might just smash an arm instead of a finger.’
This is all I can think of.
“What’s going on bro?”
Sima Hyeon asks.
I don’t know if he turned back time, but he seems to have noticed something strange.
I guess it’s because I’m crying after all.
“Nothing.”
For some reason, it is difficult to see Sima Xuan’s face directly.
And Cheonwoo is watching silently from above.
“….”
No, I think I understand.
Tianyu tried to fight against the enemy, and Sima Xuan tried to push him away.
The younger brothers who died protecting themselves just moments ago.
huh. It can’t be helped.
‘Because it’s a death that only I remember.’
In this damn world, I am the only one who remembers it.
‘You died trying to save me.’
Jin Tianxi can no longer talk to Sima Xuan.
Instead, I sat cross-legged for a while and prayed.
‘As expected, there are no problems with internal strength. All the internal injuries I just suffered have returned to their original state.’
Even though the body returns, the feelings remain.
Moreover, thanks to the life-and-death battle just now, Jin Cheon-hee had to take a long time to reflect on the knowledge gained through the battle.
‘There is certainly nothing that moves faster than life or death.’
Of course, dying like this was of no use, but fortunately, Jin Cheon-hee had one coin.
‘Our fox coin.’
After contemplating the realization I had just had with the fox coin, I slowly opened my eyes.
‘okay. Let’s suppress our emotions. What’s important is what happens in the future.’
His current residence is a guest room at the prefectural office.
The operation is already underway and almost all of the strange fish of mixed blood in Cheongdo have been caught.
‘It was just a day ago.’
First, I learned the secret of the underwater city.
If Bok-hee’s blood is shed there, Haeseon’s seal will be lifted.
‘A being like that is not something humans can fight.’
Of course, running away is also impossible.
I fought with my body on fire hoping to find even a single weak point, but all I found was.
To an immortal, human resistance seems infinitely meaningless.
No matter how much an ant bites your finger, it only stings and can be killed with a single flick.
‘Hahahaha, it’s not even crazy. This spirit.’
I fought with everything I had against such an overwhelming, infinitely overwhelming being.
And didn’t you realize how vain the ending was?
If you are an ordinary strongman, just by learning about something far away and beyond human beings and having to fight against him in a pointless battle that is, in some ways, infinitely close to torture.
My mind must have been distorted by my mind.
Hyeonwonjeondanshingong never makes Sim Deukja crazy.
‘Even being crazy can be a blessing.’
Escape is impossible.
If you leave this place altogether, it will become a den of strange fish and the central area will end.
‘That being’ said that the end times have come and the world will be covered with water.
Even if Jin Cheon-hee does not go, it will be over if he catches one of the weak members of the royal family and spills his blood.
Even if all the royal family had bodyguards, this.
‘It was a time bomb.’
It is a time bomb that will grow bigger the longer you leave it alone.
Then I remembered my younger brothers turning into handfuls of blood.
Jin Cheon-hee’s body tilts slightly to the side.
Still, it doesn’t go crazy.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t painful.
It’s like I feel like I’m going to die from extreme sleepiness, but I can’t actually sleep.
That kind of feeling.
In the meantime, Hyeonwonjeondansingong steadily guides you to the next step.
‘We’ll have to bring out Tahapa and deal with him outside the city.’
how?
‘….’
Suddenly, Jin Cheonhee remembered the military base on the outskirts of the city.
The fire bomb brought from the military base was stronger than expected.
‘What if you take some more fire bombs, throw them into the hash, explode them, and then splatter?’
Detonate before Tahapa appears.
‘Hmm… Will it work?’
I think it might be a little difficult…
then.
‘Something else…’
Jin Cheon-hee looks down at her right arm.
The current situation is terrible.
‘What if I open this completely?’
Jin Cheon-hee herself is having a hard time controlling Hyeon-gyeong’s extreme situation.
In the past, it was usable to some extent, but these days, as the level has increased, the current situation has naturally become more severe.
To the extent that you yourself could become addicted.
But now?
Didn’t I gain the spirit of the Five Elements through my recent death?
What if you could use the coexistence and polarity of the two attributes to protect your body and release only poison?
What if you release it and quickly run away?
‘There is a possibility.’
Isn’t this the method used in Sacheondanga when necessary?
‘The poisonous attack…. use it. I guess I’ll have to control it better.’
The burden has increased a bit, but I realized that this is safer than the previous option, so what can I do?
‘It’s a shame because it was a game that would have ended even if Haeseon hadn’t been there. No… I should say I’m glad to know that there is a sea ship.’
Without the power of time, this world would have been doomed.
‘This is ridiculous. ‘There is a button of destruction so close.’
Why on earth was this world created like this?
Jin Cheon-hee thought about that and stood up.
“Hyung, are you okay?”
“Are you finished thinking about it?”
The two younger brothers ask.
Then, suddenly, Jin Tianxi’s gaze rests on the back of Sima Xuan’s hand.
The cut off hand and the current hand appeared as an illusion and overlapped.
‘Stop thinking about it.’
Jin Cheon-hee stretches lazily, pretending that nothing is happening.
“I’m going to go to the military base to get more ammunition.”
At those words, Sima Hyeon immediately intervenes.
“Then let’s go together~”
“Let’s go together. brother.”
He may have turned back time, but he seems to have realized that his brother was in an unstable state.
He’s crying, his upper body is tilted, and he can’t even say what’s going on.
They don’t mix words or even make eye contact.
I know. I know that.
‘I can’t help it.’
He felt sorry for worrying me for no reason.
* * *
On the outskirts of Cheongdo.
Of course, there is a military base here too.
Of course, it does not have as great a power as the border area where it fights against foreign enemies in real time, but it is still nothing compared to an ordinary gunboat.
And I already visited this place a while ago and brought some fire charcoal.
Now that I’m back at the military base.
It was seen that many of the soldiers were absent.
‘If it’s obvious, is it natural?’
At the request of the county commander, most of the soldiers formed squares at important points in downtown Cheongdo and began defense.
Nonetheless, security is tight.
The reduced forces are on maximum security.
They know that this area will soon become a battlefield.
‘Why is security tighter than when I first came? The number of people has decreased… but most of those who remain are elite. They are soldiers, but they also show signs of learning martial arts.’
Jin Cheon-hee tilts her head at the sight, which is different from before.
[brother. Are these people at least second-rate warriors?]
[Yes. Just as the third brother said. It looks like it has at least ten years worth of durability. There are almost hundreds of people like that… It’s enough to tell most small and medium sects to go away?]
[You guys noticed it too, right? It’s a little different than before. Where did they get additional elite soldiers?]
Does the county commander have that much political ability?
Although it is possible to mobilize the troops stationed in Cheongdo County, does the county command have the political capacity to even mobilize other military units in neighboring regions?
I am a person who is very scared and trembles.
‘If something like that happened in the first place, there’s no way it couldn’t have been relayed to me, right?’
Although I had doubts, I put them aside and headed to the main gate of the military base.
The soldier greeted Jin Cheon-hee politely.
“We have confirmed the visit of Governor Jin Cheon-hee! “What did you visit this military camp for?”
“I came to pick up some more of the items I took out earlier… but did you know I would come?”
“The higher-ups have given us a designation to wear. However, you must also show your victory.”
At the soldier’s words, Jin Cheon-hee took out the Gamchal-eosa badge and showed it to him.
Then, you are guided directly inside.
When I visited in the past, I was guided by a man named General Magwan, the highest commander of this military camp.
But now, instead of heading to Magwan, he was going straight to the warehouse.
‘Did you know I was coming?’
With that in mind, when they arrived at the warehouse, an unexpected person was waiting for Jin Cheon-hee and his group.
“Hol ho ho. Long time no see. Confucius.”
Admiral Tae-gam.
The moment she saw him, Jin Cheonhee felt an exhilarating sensation.
‘Oh, there was a hidden path here!’
A piece that would never have been found if the bomb had been received and detonated as planned.
Because Jin Cheon-hee returned to inspect instead of moving forward, he was able to meet Admiral Tae-gam.
“The taste of Cheongdo tea is special.”
Didn’t he just set up a table in the warehouse and drink tea?
“It’s been a while, Admiral. “But what brings you here?”
“I came because I heard you were dealing with the Yi people.”
“Did you know about the Goeeo people?”
“Shouldn’t the shoen, who is connected to the eyes and ears of the empire, not know what even the wild people of Gangho know? Isn’t that what the Dongchang organization is for?”
It was just as Admiral Tae-gam said.
The bronze medal is the emperor’s eyes and ears, and it is also the sword hidden in the shadows.
If Jinyiwei is the emperor’s sword and symbolizes military power, Dongchang handles the dark side behind it.
Since ancient times, when the emperor’s power was strong, he used the Dongchang and Jinui committees to rule the empire.
There was even a saying that if the emperor’s power was weak, Dongchang and Jinuiwi would fight for power and ruin the country.
In fact, weren’t all the beings called Sipsanshi who toyed with the Emperor of the Unified Empire before the Three Kingdoms era were all eunuchs?
Admiral Tae-gam, the center of such power, was smiling heartily at Jin Cheon-hee.
Just looking at the firepower of the Imperial Palace Research Pavilion, it was a terrible thing that could easily cause chaos in the country.
It must have been very carefully guarded.
Who on earth moved such a great guy?
The answer.
“This village head came to visit me twice, but eventually I couldn’t bear it anymore and showed up.”
Another hidden path.
Jin Cheon-hee was thrilled.
