Episode 762
As they went back and forth, Jin Cheon-hee looked at the leap of Buddha.
‘It’s an elixir of unknown identity… It’s impossible to find out the effectiveness of the medicine by eating it yourself like the Flame Emperor Shennong… In cases like this, you need someone with deep knowledge in magic.’
Simply having knowledge of witchcraft is not enough.
‘I know how to use medicine and do some research.’
The answer is Yuho.
‘Yooho. I miss you.’
Jin Cheon-hee missed Yu Ho very much. And…
‘Where is that chemistry monkey?’
I guess I’ll have to hurry up and catch him too… no, I’ll have to persuade him well and hire him.
After thinking about that, I arrived at the VIP room.
“Everyone, please rest. “I’ll marinate some meat and come back.”
Now that I have a child, my mouth has expanded.
If things end up like this, it might be a good idea to rent a kitchen during the day.
Jin Cheon-hee stopped by the kitchen, cooked a simple meal, and came back.
‘There’s a lot of soda left in this neighborhood. Should I make some more dalgonana?’
It is so expensive in Jungwon, but here it is cheaper than water.
‘Even people in their 80s brush their teeth with this and use it for medicinal purposes.’
It just makes me laugh when I see him eating these things regularly even though he doesn’t eat.
In particular, the one used in the castle kitchen was improved by local healers, and they are confident that the food tastes much better.
I rarely use it anymore, but wouldn’t it be a waste to leave this item unattended?
‘There’s just no food. ‘You’ve stored all the spices well.’
A kitchen that is always maintained and clean, but rarely used.
therefore.
Chiiik-
Make dalgona by boiling down sugar.
I want to stamp the shape, but I don’t have time to do that, so I just roughly make it and let it cool.
“Oh, that sounds delicious.”
While it was cooling, I added the lamb to the broth I had already made and simmered it down to make it like a curry.
So I made a lot of dishes and went in.
When I came back, the two people were gone.
The note said:
-I will take a look around and come back separately.
Seeing that Jashi wasn’t there, it looked like they went out together.
‘I should go back to the bar I went to yesterday.’
I was curious about how the people who knocked him out had changed. I’m curious about how your body feels after being beaten like that.
‘Let’s eat something first.’
Even if you say it’s okay to feed the kids cold food, you can’t do it yourself.
I did that labor, but I still had to eat warm food and move.

“Oh, there you are! White saint!”
When Jin Cheon-hee arrived, the inn owner immediately welcomed her.
With a big lump on the back of his head.
“….”
As Jin Tianxi stared at him, the inn owner smiled sheepishly, probably feeling his gaze.
“That’s what you mean. I guess I drank too much yesterday and woke up this morning hurting like this.”
“Do you think it’s just you? “Everyone was distraught.”
“Wahahahahah!”
People burst out laughing. A person with a black eye, a dog bite mark on his thigh, and even a person with Jin Cheon-hee’s palm imprinted on his stomach.
Everyone was thinking that he drank too much and lost his memory.
‘The wound… it definitely recovers quickly, but it’s not completely erased. I have no memory of when I became a monster.’
Jin Cheon-hee agreed appropriately, asked various questions, and then went outside again.
There is one thing I learned while continuing to explore the surrounding area.
‘People are so kind….’
It wasn’t just friendly.
While walking down the street, I bumped into my shoulder hard, so I bent down first and apologized.
Normally, I don’t apologize to strangers first, or ask if it’s okay and ask them to wait a moment so I can apply some ointment.
Naturally, in this world where medical privatization is a given, treatment drugs are expensive.
The price of Geumchang medicine in the central region is no different from the price of gold. The same goes for Sae-oe.
They say they’ll put it on someone with some shoulder pads, but by this standard, it’s either cheating or crazy.
You can’t even hear the sound of fighting in the market.
Since history, isn’t the market essentially a sacred battle ground between buyers and sellers, and a place where sellers fight when they have a fight?
‘Tch, that doesn’t mean they’ll reduce the price.’
That’s a shame.
However, everyone gathered in the market is smiling and walking around as if they have the sun in their hearts.
A feeling of foreignness, as if I were wearing a mask.
There wasn’t even anyone begging on the streets.
Because people were the first to go and help those who were struggling.
‘Is it an elixir effect? ‘Force someone to be good?’
This time we headed to the mine.
‘okay. If it were a mine, it would definitely be a mess.’
How could it be that the person who couldn’t repay his debt was the last person to go to the mine?
Because it is such a difficult, painful, and life-shortening task.
It’s one of those things you don’t want to do even if you pay money.
Kang kaang!
At that moment, people were digging for soda.
In some ways, digging for soda rock might seem like digging for minerals in an old coal mine, but the natron mine in this area actually looks more like a terraced salt farm than a mine.
But the difficulties are the same.
“Oh my! “It looks like something quite sturdy came out.”
“Oh, this is truly amazing! “I’ll have to dig hard and not lose!”
“Whahaha! “If we all work together to mine soda, wouldn’t our city become richer?”
“Cancer cancer. yes!”
“For a bright future!”
“for!”
For some reason, Jin Cheon-hee felt like a fly in a white room.
No one was mining without saying a word.
‘Huh, are you crazy?’
Even in the math textbook where Younghee, Cheolsu, Suni, and Minsu had Baduki and Butterfly playing at 10 kilometers per hour, there were no prints like this.
I don’t know why they run around the playground in the shape of an isosceles triangle, but they have never lived this bright, clear, sunny and joyful life.
‘what?’
When I looked back there, the sun had already set.
Jin Cheon-hee returned to her residence.
When we arrived at the residence, the owner’s son was playing with a small paper doll.
The paper doll was shaking its body as if it were alive, serving as a play partner for Seongju’s son.
“Are you here?”
Jashi arrived first. The paper doll seemed to have been made and controlled by Jashi.
‘Jashi is definitely good at playing with children.’
That is probably why he loved the dead Usha so much.
“yes. came. This place is definitely weird. Even people during the day.”
“yes. It’s twisted. And even life and death are distorted.”
“yes?”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes widened slightly at those words.
“Yesterday before you came. I killed several Rakshashas. “Because I didn’t know until you said you were human.”
“Yes…”
I don’t intend to blame you for that.
Didn’t the opponent also attack to catch Jashi?
But what came out of Jashi’s mouth were completely unexpected words.
“But the guy I killed was still alive.”
“yes?”
“It was resurrected. “As if dying was a lie.”
Does this make sense?
‘If humans aren’t game monsters, what do you mean they respawn during the day?’
At that time, the son of the lord of the castle spoke.
“Rakshasha will not die. “It comes to life when the day comes.”
This is a story I never thought of.
Everyone is kind and everyone doesn’t die.
At night, it turns into a monster, but no one remembers it.
A town where you never go hungry.
The child quickly wiped the area around his red, swollen eyes with the back of his hand.
“Isn’t it strange? “Everyone was nice, but my dad didn’t want to hurt anyone, so he looked for the kindest way, but why did he end up in hell?”
Jin Cheon-hee stroked the child’s head.
The top of my head was damp with sweat.
When a child cries, the top of his head always rises and becomes wet with sweat.
It smelled like life.
Because that meant that this child was still alive and growing.
‘How much longer will the top of my head have to get wet before I become an adult?’
Jin Cheon-hee hugged the child.
The child had cried so much that his armpits were wet.
“It would be great if good people could always make the right choices.”
How many scammers are there in the world who prey on good people?
‘Multi-level solidarity guarantee for investment failure. Something like that.’
In particular, pyramid schemes often ended in suicide for both the victim and the perpetrator.
Unless the perpetrator is the person who originally founded the multi-level business or is a key founding executive, he or she is usually dragged in with good intentions because he or she is happy to make a lot of money and wants others to make money as well.
And when I realized it was a pyramid scheme.
When you realize that your family and loved ones have reached hell together.
When severance pay for old age disappears and all that remains is debt.
When his house is in danger of being foreclosed and the police keep calling him, he decides to commit suicide.
At least don’t leave your child in debt.
‘If you fail to commit suicide, you usually wake up in the hospital.’
Then he goes back to die.
Because reality does not change.
Anyway, the police interrogation continues today, the retirement funds have not been returned, and my precious younger brother and older brother are all wandering in hell.
‘If you are halfway successful, refuse life-sustaining treatment.’
The head of the household chooses suicide.
This is because under Korean law, you have to die to save your family.
If he were a completely evil person, if he was a cruel evil person, there would be no need to worry about this.
When they realize they’ve been scammed, they’ll do anything to find another victim and get away with it.
Those who choose suicide are usually people who are vaguely soft and vaguely empathize with the pain of others.
Common people.
‘The entire city became guarantors and went to hell together.’
A leader is this heavy.
‘By the time the police investigation begins, all of the multi-level executives have committed suicide, only the owner of the bar is caught, and the real culprit is flying overseas. ‘How about this time?’
Jashi said.
“There is one more problem.”
“yes?”
“Anyway, for people without memories, isn’t this heaven? You don’t know that they eat people every night. A world without death and hunger. Rather, you or we could become uninvited guests who break this paradise.”
“….”
A deep silence engulfed the room.
Finally, Yeo Ha-ryun spoke.
“What do you mean by that?”
“what?”
“Are you going to tell someone who has already been eaten that you decided to pretend not to know because this is paradise? Or are people here going to say that it is okay to donate money, sell soda stones, and give faith to either the Maitreya Church or the Blood Mission Church? “This is heaven, so we decided to leave it alone.”
“However, if this peace is broken, many people will likely die in the process.”
“From whose perspective is that ‘peace’? Would you say that the person who was eaten was also eaten peacefully? Shaman. “Tell me.”
Yeo Ha-ryun’s pitch-black eyes, devoid of any light, stare at him.
Fortunately, it doesn’t cause death.
On the other hand, a shadow appears in Jashi’s eyes.
It seemed to remind him of the dead Usha.
Yeo Ha-ryun said.
“Evil is just evil. Even if you use it without knowing it, the act is not justified.”
Eventually, Jin Cheon-hee, who finished thinking, opened her mouth.
“Well, I don’t move with any great philosophy. Rather, I am a person who is thorough when it comes to profit.”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched the back of her head.
“If this continues, there will be a problem with soda stone imports. Plus, I also own a portion of this mine.”
Jin Cheon-hee deliberately increases his own profits.
It was the mask of an adult who did not want to suffer losses.
And that mask sometimes gave me the courage to do something crazy.
The courage to choose.
Jin Cheon-hee deliberately smiles and speaks leisurely.
Like a calculating, selfish adult.
“Since we’re already so tangled up, let’s search the temple some more at night.”
Yeo Ha-ryun asked.
“Do you kill anyone who gets in your way?”
“Well, even if it is resurrected the next day, let’s not kill it if possible. Because there may be unknown side effects. “By the way, have you learned anything?”
Yeo Ha-ryun nodded.
“I found traces of my men. They had withdrawn from the city and set up an ambush. “I left a signal telling you to come nearby.”
Jin Cheon-hee swept her heart.
“Thank God…”
“Many people have already died during the withdrawal process.”
Only then could I understand Yeo Ha-ryun’s anger.
He has already lost several close subordinates. Rather than mourning their deaths, it was Yeo Ha-ryun’s job to point out and eliminate this strange situation.
“okay. “No matter how well-intentioned heaven is, if one can live only by committing evil, it is probably hell.”
Why is the world made like this?
Thinking like that, Jin Cheonhee smiled.
“Well, I have to take care of my share. I have to protect my share of the mine.”
