Episode 867:
When I open my eyes, everything around me is red.
‘No, the red thing is my vision.’
The situation was such that it was surprising that he did not die from excessive blood loss. Nevertheless, the blood disappears without soaking the ground.
I know what this is.
cost.
In the middle of the ruins, a light floats like the moon.
soul.
Her nameless soul.
White (魄) to be exact.
In Kangho, it is said that baek (魄) is a memory-like remnant of the soul that has escaped.
The essence of the soul is ultimately called soul.
It is said that when the soul disappears, the remaining 100 people wander and disperse in the nine heavens.
However, her huge bag remained in place and was disintegrating into pieces.
I once saw a book that compared life to a dandelion.
Is that why?
Her bag was scattering somewhere like dandelion feathers scattering in the wind.
An ordinary person would disappear with just a gust of wind.
It took a long time for such a huge being to even disperse, so Jin Tianxi stared at it for a long time.
What she did was play with people’s life and death.
Although he said he did it to protect his children, it cannot be denied how cruel it was from the children’s perspective.
But even those people.
Why is it so beautiful that such a huge and cruel being disappears?
‘why…?’
Jin Cheon-hee paid the price with his own blood and some of the rest of his hair was paid by Yu-ho.
But even so, it seemed like the cost of using the power of the ruins was not enough.
The price is 100.
Myself.
She said.
Is it correct to say that it is a word?
The thoughts pouring out at the same time are like a chorus and like noise.
-It was one of two things anyway.
-You either stay until the end and wipe after the kids, or you go back to nothingness and get a good rest.
-I just gave them a gift to cross the apocalypse, but everyone hated it.
-But you are so pretty that you will soon disappear someday. Your soul is so beautiful that I wish I could disappear someday like you.
I can’t understand everything that’s being said.
However, I felt like I knew what she felt as she lived for eternity with only a hundred souls left.
She was as innocent as a child.
-Jeongmu Eon Jeongmu was crying. He said he was sorry and asked for it back. I kept begging.
-He prayed more than ten times in one breath.
-I was just trying to give you a gift. huh. If things continue like this, government affairs will not be able to survive the end times.
-You listened to what I said carefully, but you still regretted it.
She doesn’t know.
That humans cannot resist just touching a huge being like themselves.
It’s like shaking an ant’s hand with your fingers.
He believes that he shook hands, but in reality, it is like an ant being pushed away by the force.
It seems that Eon Jeong-mu watched her scream for a long time, even though he was unable to resist her words.
White is not soul after all.
I just imitate when I was alive.
It’s like not being able to buy things even if you have money.
The same goes for this gigantic being.
She cannot even tell whether what she is giving is a ‘gift’ or the ‘despair’ leading to death.
Even if it’s huge. In the end, it’s just white.
Finally, she looks at Jin Cheon-hee.
-Because you said you would do something. okay. huh. And…
she looks at the broken clay shards. He seems to be thinking of Yuho.
She knows Yuho’s identity.
Yuho also knew her.
-Cheering? I’m still by your side, right?
‘yes. maybe.’
she laughs
-Then I’m going to go to sleep now. I will wait for you first beyond the end times, so one day you too….
The light scatters and scatters.
That moment.
Piiiiing –
I felt as if a thread had broken.
All costs have been paid.
The old ruins began to move on their own.
Kugguggeuk –
Jin Cheonhee vomited blood once more as if she was going to die and then collapsed.
“brother?”
“Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The screams and shouts of the younger brothers ring out.
Consciousness faded away once again.
* * *
“brother! brother!”
Sima Hyeon caught Jin Tianxi, who had fallen.
And Cheonwoo approaches next to him with a slightly slower movement.
“You’re the youngest. “What about your brother?”
“My Mac is fine… I’ll have to go up and find out more details.”
Sima Xuan, who answered like that, suddenly saw that some of Jin Tianxi’s hair had disappeared.
It is shortened as if cut with a knife.
There are times when hair gets cut off during battle, but not like this.
It was gone, as if someone unseen had cut it and taken it away.
In addition, the blood my brother poured out scattered somewhere and disappeared as soon as it hit the floor.
He was clever and immediately figured out why this was happening.
It’s a leap of logic without any basis or evidence, but it’s just an interesting way to draw a picture by crossing the warp and weft of the inference.
“Tsk. “It looks like he did something similar to witchcraft and paid the price… It looks like he was trying to save us.”
“What are you talking about.”
Cheonwoo’s voice subsides.
“It happened a long time ago… One day, my brother… one of his fingers suddenly disappeared. According to the eyewitness at that time, he immediately took the lead by saying he knew the future.”
“….”
“Then I received information that he had lost a lot of blood. “Strangely, all the blood has disappeared.”
What happened right after my brother appeared out of thin air.
This is all the information obtained from Geumhyeolbang.
Sima Hyun began to piece together the scattered information using only intuition.
“So, I don’t know. Isn’t it a design where your brother creates a ‘miracle’ under what conditions and loses something in return? Isn’t that how the private loan industry works? “This is a miracle done with money.”
“then.”
“huh. Then the third brother. “What happens when you need to create a miracle that money can’t buy?”
Cheonwoo was speechless.
I just look down at my exhausted brother.
“Spells inevitably come with a price. So, if it’s natural, it’s natural. Rather, it’s fascinating. For such a miracle, only a part of hair and blood? “Even if some of the burden was due to ruins, poison, and something else I don’t know, it’s still a lot of business.”
An unexpected voice was heard.
The voice continued.
“…Maybe that body contains some magical value that we don’t know about.”
Cheon-woo immediately takes a stance and boldly takes a step forward in the direction from which the sound was heard.
Meanwhile, Sima Xuan turned his gaze to Jin Tianxi from behind, covering him with his body.
“Go ahead!”
“Did they play it back like they were putting together some kind of piece like Eon Jeong-mu?”
Ungwon.
He was standing there with a pale face like a corpse.
The clothes were in rags, but the body looked fine.
But is it Jiangshi? Is it a person?
Which one?
“It wasn’t played that way. “Because the ruins of the original family have already been destroyed.”
The head of Eongwon looks around with expressionless eyes.
“He saved the lives of everyone in my family, including me.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Simply put. He reversed the power of the ruins. The power that turned the living into the dead and gave birth to a Jiangshi was reversed, and this time, the dead became the living. Huh… no matter how much I opposed it, I never imagined that it would be possible…”
Sima Hyeon’s eyes sink coldly at the words of the head of the family.
“So my brother coughed up blood and some of his hair disappeared along with it… Is this it?”
“That part is even more surprising. “Originally, even if you paid for your entire body and soul, it wouldn’t be enough… but it’s only blood and hair.”
“Wow… this guy is making me angry.”
Sima County has already decided to show the minimum level of respect to En Quan.
The way he clenches his fists makes him look like he wants to beat him up.
“You’re the youngest. “Calm down.”
“Third brother isn’t even angry~?”
“Eldest brother, he hasn’t come to his senses yet. calm down.”
It’s time for the two of us to talk.
Druddudduddud-
The ground splits and something pops out from underneath.
It’s a huge bell.
It is a species larger than a human.
The moment they saw the bell with cracks here and there, both brothers had to feel both ominous and sacred at the same time.
“Heh heh. As expected, it was almost broken. “If nothing else…”
The head of the family, Eon-gwon, approaches.
And without anyone being able to stop him, he stretched out his hand and shattered the main family bell into pieces.
Qarring!
The bell shattered into pieces.
The bell that was created in the distant past to contain wishes for future generations will no longer function properly.
“We are finally free from the control of these ruins.”
Communication with the ruins ends.
The truths I knew naturally began to be forgotten again.
But why?
At the same time, I began to move away from madness.
Eon-kwon’s eyes were extremely clear as he looked back at Jin Cheon-hee.
* * *
“Uhm….”
My body shakes.
When I slowly opened my eyelids, my field of vision was high and the back of Cheonwoo’s head was very close.
“Have you come to your senses?!”
Jin Tianxi spoke to Sima Xuan’s words.
“Uh… okay. “Why am I being carried on my back?”
“I lost my mind and had to move it. “But I didn’t lose consciousness for long.”
“huh. Before I fainted earlier, before the white spirit dispersed. “I think I saw something.”
I saw small yellow things.
Normally it would have been cute, but for some reason it was very scary.
To the point where I thought it was a nightmare.
‘I don’t remember what it was. If it’s small and yellow, is it a chick? ‘Do chicks turn into nightmares?’
I even remembered Yuho dragging me out.
Until there.
‘Oh, I said you shouldn’t be swept away by madness.’
So, have I faced my madness?
Jin Cheon-hee asks herself a question.
I thought about it deeply, but my head just felt like it was going to explode.
I can’t think of anything.
It’s as if nothing like that had ever happened in the first place.
“How lost are you?”
“A little bit? We’re already all the way to the exit. brother.”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at Cheon-woo’s words.
“okay. “Please drop me off.”
“It’s still like this. brother. “It looks like you had a hard time.”
“That’s right. “The backlash from the contract is probably not over yet, so get some rest.”
The voice of the family head.
Jin Cheon-hee turned around in surprise.
There is a familiar face there.
“Uh… are you alive?”
“You saved my life, didn’t I?”
“I knew it in my head, but I wasn’t sure until the end.”
“I can’t believe I’m still unsure even after doing such a huge thing. That’s right for you. “But it worked out well.”
Eon-kwon’s voice trembled.
“Your voice… you seem calmer.”
“That’s right, the madness has disappeared. “Now we are free from the ruins’ grip.”
“Memory…?”
“I feel like I had a nightmare. I remember some things and some I don’t, and it goes back and forth. Anyway, I just want to thank you. And why did our ancestors do this…”
His voice trembled.
Haven’t you lived your whole life protecting your family and paying deep respect to your ancestors?
It was natural that the foundation of his faith was shaken.
-May we all survive in the end times… I hope that the children can go beyond the end times…
‘Her’s’ voice came to mind.
A woman whose name I don’t know.
What on earth are the last days?
What kind of world is this where being in that kind of body is salvation and a blessing?
Jin Cheon-hee closes her eyes.
“well. Isn’t that what parental love is all about? “Not many parents know what their children want most.”
Eat, drink, breathe, and embrace what you love.
we live
She and her children have very different definitions of life.
Wouldn’t it be natural for the gift to feel different as well?
I finally came up all the stairs.
It was dazzling and Jin Tianxi frowned slightly.
It was already morning outside.
The first thing I heard in my clear vision was a sound.
The sounds of people murmuring, crying, and shouting.
Eventually the sound stops.
When my vision returned and I looked around, I saw that everyone had gathered there.
When they saw Jin Tianxi, they shouted.
“I’m meeting someone’s benefactor.”
One person bows and bows.
Then everyone began to follow him and show their respect as if they had made a promise.
“I meet Jin Cheon-hee Daehyeop, someone’s benefactor!”
“Meeting someone’s benefactor… Jin Cheon-hee Daehyeop!”
“I meet Daehyeop Jin Cheonhee, someone’s benefactor!”
Even while everyone was prostrating, it was smooth and neat, without any fuss.
Although their voices are trembling with excitement, they are still in perfect order, without any blemishes, even though so many people are prostrating.
Looking at that scene, Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Ah, Jinju was always this calm.’
It wasn’t calm because it was a Jiangshi.
Like waves, they hit their benefactors deeply and heavily.
Eventually, the head of the family, Eon-kwon, knelt down on one knee to pay his final respects to Jin Cheon-hee.
“Jin Cheon-hee Daehyup. “You saved our lives, so we will do our best.”
For some reason, I felt embarrassed.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Oh, uh… please stop. it’s okay. “I’m really fine.”
Sima Hyeon and Tianyu burst into laughter as they saw their ears turning red and waving their hands out.
Even though there is so much and everything.
My brother was my brother.
And at that moment, Jin Cheon-hee bursts into tears again and vomits blood and falls from Cheon-woo’s body.
“Bro bro!”
“It seems like there was a lot of strain on your body. lawmaker! “Aren’t there any lawmakers?”
In her blurred consciousness, Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Why is the ruins restoration service so trashy?’
If something goes wrong, can’t it be repaired on its own?
‘Ah, I guess I’m still holding on with the regeneration ball.’
Seeing that he doesn’t die even though he’s losing so much blood, I think it’s all thanks to the regenerator.
This is the power of great kiii.
There is a reason why Tianlonggong is in the imperial palace Vigo.
‘People have to learn everything. Indeed, it is me. Big…! awesome.’
It only takes a moment for me to say something crazy to myself.
I lost consciousness again.
My eyes are red.
“Ugh! brother! brother! Come to your senses!”
“Are you a member of the National Assembly? Where are you? My benefactor! “The benefactor has fallen!”
“You crazy brother, are you okay? Please come to your senses. brother. please.”
Likewise, Jinju was not in his right mind.
The benefactor who had just saved them from being strong.
As soon as I said thank you to him, I coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
“Ugh! Are you okay? Lord Eun-gong is unconscious!”
“Huh oh oh!”
Leaving behind everyone’s shock and screams.
The expression on Jin Cheon-hee’s collapsed face is somehow proud.
‘Even after doing this, no one dies. I am the winner because I learned the Heavenly Dragon Ball.’
It was a crazy idea.
