Episode 1113 Jin
Tianxi cross-checks the additional information provided by the government and Hao Wen’s information.
We visited the place where King Yeonwon was believed to have been last seen.
Jinseong guesthouse.
“As expected, information has to be found in many places.”
In the end, collecting information from places like this is similar to touching a blind elephant.
Everyone touches the tail, feels the legs, and touches the tusks, all while not knowing exactly what it is, and combines the information to arrive at a single elephant.
“Do you think the information from the coffin was the most helpful?”
“huh. The biggest problem is narrowing down the location. “If that is possible, then you can search in detail using Haomun information.”
Jin Cheon-hee went into the guesthouse and had Hwang-gu smell King Yeonwon.
At that time, the glass sphere that King Yeonwon left behind and ran away… no, a smoke bomb!
I had already made Hwanggu remember that smell in the past, but the purpose was to make him remember it one more time.
However, unlike when he was tracking Sima Hyeon, Hwang Gu was shaking his head while cackling.
Sima Hyun said.
“King Yeonwon is a monster, so it probably won’t be easy. Plus, it will be even more difficult because this is a place where hundreds and thousands of customers pass by.”
“I know. Well, time has passed… what should I do now…”
As Jin Tianxi pondered, Sima Xuan smiled.
“Gaga, my younger brother will help me from here on out~”
He said jokingly and took Jin Cheon-hee out on the road.
Jingling –
The bell hanging at the entrance of the guesthouse rings softly.
‘Everyone here puts bells on their doors.’
Usually, paper or bells are used when performing a jiangshi.
In the Jinju-eonga area, bells were hung on the doors of each house to monitor people coming and going, and it seems to be the same here.
Sima Hyun said.
“Although Haomun is a huge organization… in reality, it is an alliance of point organizations~”
“Yes. In the first place, Haomun’s core also broke into five schools.”
“I know very well. As expected, brother! So, Hao Mun actually does a lot of business with people who are not part of Hao Mun. Information and unmanned vehicles are the same. “That’s why I’m close to Hao-mun in the ronin manpower market~”
Hao-mun is a black man.
Nowadays, due to Sima Xuan’s rise to power, it is slowly turning into a civil war, but until recently, when I thought of the Black Path, I thought of Hao Wen and Sadolian.
“The basis is actually a union of clans to protect themselves between the powerful and the common people.”
“Is this the origin story of Hoo Hao Moon?”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes sparkle as if she is interested.
Sima Hyeon cleared his throat.
“that’s right. When Yangmin, not a member of the famous Taoist or Buddhist schools, learned martial arts. “It is like a union of the common people who became strong people and became self-reliant.”
“That’s the root.”
“that’s right. As a result, it also has the disadvantage of being prone to deteriorating into blackness. “There is no special ideology, nor is there any honor to protect.”
I was able to understand why Hao Mun had changed like that in the past.
Sima Hyun said.
“In that sense, let’s visit the sects that do business with Haomun even though they do not belong to Haomun. “Buntaju may have already contacted us, but it will be different if we go in person~”
One more way to obtain information.
Go and ask in person.
Cross-validation alone is not enough.
It also depends on who and how the information was obtained.
“Just as what you say to a complete stranger, what you say to a close friend, and what you say to your boss are all different, the same information is given in different details depending on who you are telling it to.”
Indeed, he is a guy whose business is handling information.
Sima Xuan skillfully planned his movements and began to move.
“It’s been a while since I did this~ It was like this before I went up to the old Geumhyeolbang Fire House.”
When I was young.
After breaking up with Jin Cheon-hee and Sima-hye.
I felt like I knew what this guy had done to survive.
“….”
Jin Tianxi stroked Sima Xuan’s head.
‘You’ve worked hard so far’ or ‘There will be many good things in the future.’ The same obvious consolation was not offered.
Just a warmth that passes by indifferently.
But for some reason, Sima Xuan’s heart felt tickled, so he just laughed like a child.
It is not the smile of a murderer or the cynicism of Somunju Haomun.
Because I know that the past cannot be brought back and that there are some things that cannot be avoided even if we turn back time.
Sima Hyun laughs.
Just a warmer smile than usual.
That was enough.
That was enough.
In life, isn’t it possible to receive only the gifts you want?
Rather, it would be enough to be happy that you survived.
The King of Sapa’s hands are still covered in blood, but he is thankful that he is not dead.
This is a powerhouse and a place where killers gather.
Isn’t it okay as long as the people you love are alive and you are alive?
Hoping for more would be greed.
* * *
Two people and two birds.
The long procession caught the attention of people around them.
The one who took the lead was Sima County.
Lei Jin is planning a new Bremen music troupe by riding on Sima Hyun’s head.
It was also thanks to Sima Hyun, who had heard from his older brother that Lei Jin loved jewelry, that he took out two large jade rings and placed them in the boy’s mouth.
“Now then… shall we try a little home-made craft?”
“hmm?”
Sima Hyeon greeted everyone he met and gave them money.
A coin for someone you meet for the first time.
Sima Xuan whispered something in the man’s ear, and the man nodded and pointed in a certain direction.
The next person I meet has two coins.
That person also exchanged whispers with Sima Hyeon and pointed somewhere.
‘Is this where the next person is?’
The amount of money given is increasing more and more.
At some point, the transition from coins to silver coins began.
We finally arrived in front of a small hut.
“From here, it’s all about money.”
Sima Xuan takes money out of his sleeve, throws it, and catches it.
Jin Cheon-hee asked in full voice.
[Where am I?]
[Ah, there is an information trader I personally know. This person is such a weirdo that it would be a big deal to visit him~]
[An information trader who has to live among people has this kind of personality?]
[Huh~]
I wondered what he was doing, but Sima Hyun told his brother to stay outside for a while and said this.
[Ah, he’s very shy, so he doesn’t like it when there’s more than one person around~]
[Information traders are even shy?]
[That’s how it is.]
It’s not like in modern times where information can be stolen through hacking, and in this day and age, information trading requires human interaction. It is essential to like .
This means that even if you don’t like it on the inside, you have to be able to get along with it.
‘…Sounds strange? And how on earth does Hyun know someone like that?’
After all, it’s like a ‘friend’ who deals at the level of a gold bank or something like that.
Eventually, Sima Xuan went into the hut, asked something, and came out.
[Have you found out anything?]
[There is… but it’s fragmentary, so you have to go elsewhere.]
He said and explained –
[There are three intelligence organizations located in Nanchang alone. One is an information trader I just met. Since he didn’t have a nameplate and his whereabouts are very irregular, I have to ask him about it. Still, the remaining two are easy.]
There is one sect called Jeombang (店耳傍) that has its own organization.
There is one place called Namchang Geogan.
[Jeombang is said to be an association of Jeomsoy… but in fact, it is an organization created by Jeomsoy to help each other. Even in other big cities, there are similar organizations.]
[Ho?]
[Namchang Geogan is the same place as Manpung Geoganso, where I met the Ronin King a while ago. [It’s like a manpower market.]
It’s the world of the common people.
And it was also a world that even the powerful players of the prestigious school did not know about.
No, the higher the level, the bigger the clan, the more distant the story will be.
Sima Xuan smiled, showing his fangs.
[Originally, information accumulates among these people, but the higher-ups ignore it. Just by looking at the trash in the house, you can find out what the house was doing and how many people were sick.]
So saying, he threw money and received it.
Teeing-
* * *
All day long.
The group walked around.
Even though I visited both the store and the male prostitution store, there was no useful information.
rattle.
As I open the door to the male brothel and come out, I hear the sound of bells.
Contrary to the refreshing sound, the two people’s hearts were slightly frustrated.
“There isn’t much information about the male prostitute and the fortune teller… It’s not easy to keep track of the person’s whereabouts like this~” “He
probably used some kind of magic. Because that ‘human’ is also from there.”
Jin Cheon-hee muttered about King Yeonwon, who was good at chemistry.
“Like the three of the Samcheonggwan?”
“okay.”
Yokai basically use different powers than humans.
Apparently, it is different from the method used by the Mosan faction or Jashi, but in any case, it is generally called witchcraft.
All monsters use magic as if they were breathing, and their power far surpasses that of humans.
Sima Hyun said, rubbing his chin.
“I see~ Then it might be a bit difficult. Shouldn’t we track it down to witchcraft? “I don’t know much about that~”
Jin Cheonhee took out something from her sleeve.
“First of all, I brought this. As you can see….”
One of the treasures of the Mosan Sect.
Hometown class.
This helped me a lot in chasing down Namgoongun.
However, this time it was just spinning around in place and didn’t give any indication of where to go.
Sima Hyun said.
“Jibo tracks people, right…? “But it looks like it’s broken.”
“This is what happens when the opponent uses a spell to evade the chase.”
“Is there any way to ignore it?”
“I asked Jashi, and he said it is possible if the user’s magic power overwhelmingly surpasses that of the defender, but at best, how can a human track down a great youkai?”
Jin Cheon-hee sighed as if regretful.
In the end, neither Sima Hyeon’s power of information nor Jin Tianxi’s martial intelligence could find King Yeonwon.
“Hmm. So what should we do from now on?…”
Difficult! Ori Mujung!
As Sima Hyeon walks with Jin Cheonhee, he falls into trouble.
at that time. Jin
Cheon-
hee turns her head without realizing it at the clear sound of the bell.
Why?
Even though it was an ordinary bell, it kept bothering me.
I don’t feel any magical power.
Just a brass bell that you see everywhere.
“Now that I think about it, this city has a lot of bells hung here and there.”
Sima Hyeon nods.
“I know?”
“Is this a custom in this neighborhood?”
“Maybe so.”
Like Jinju Eonga, this place deals with river poetry, so it was natural that such a strange custom would exist.
Jin Cheon-hee tapped on the homecoming board and said.
“Hmm. first. “Let’s continue our investigation.”
“Yes~”
At that time, the original class tilted to one side.
“brother?”
Sima Hyeon calls Jin Tianxi and stops him.
“what?”
It would be impossible for humans to defeat the great youkai with magic.
But something I thought was impossible happens.
Ugh.
A very faint light appeared above Jin Cheon-hee’s body, so faint that no one could detect it.
Grumbling –
isn’t the homecoming board starting to move?
“How is this possible?”
