Episode 170 Cool Reunion (3)
“Did I get it right?”
Baek Seong-hyeon sat down on the cold floor and laughed.
The fear that gave me goosebumps just by looking at it had subsided, but the golden madness shining in my eyes remained the same.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
Although most of the Baekga swordsmen do not know or have forgotten, he had entered Myeonbyeok-dong. That too twice.
The first time was when he killed the Baek family prosecutor.
There was no grand reason. I only killed because I wanted to follow the sweet words whispered deep in my heart.
That was the first time my father scolded me and I learned that it was wrong.
But I didn’t reflect on anything.
This is because the joy I felt when I committed murder was more enjoyable than any other entertainment or accomplishment I had ever felt.
‘So I committed it again as soon as I came out.’
As soon as Baek Seong-hyeon came out of Myeonbyeok-dong, he killed another prosecutor. Of course, instead of killing him outright like before, he killed him through sparring.
‘Was that the first time you felt like you were going to die?’
Baek Seong-hyeon placed his hand behind his back and smiled brightly.
As soon as he committed the second murder, he was called to his father. My father filled his anger and fired a deadly weapon.
In the suffocating whirlpool of life, I felt curiosity rather than fear of death.
I have an intense curiosity about how good it would feel to become strong like my father and kill strong humans.
‘I changed my mind from then on.’
Baek Seong-hyeon did not commit any more murders after entering and leaving Myeonbyeok-dong for the second time.
He became a good and trustworthy older brother and took care of his younger siblings. He also became a generous genius and built a lot of trust.
But that was just the surface.
It was an act he did because he couldn’t avoid his father’s eyes inside Shingeombaekga, but in reality, he went outside and started killing other humans.
At first, they killed ordinary people or people with low abilities. It was fun, but it got increasingly boring. So, as you grow, the level of prey you target increases.
Grade 3 became Grade 4, and now you have to be Grade 6 to be able to get satisfaction from killing someone.
Because he used a variety of methods to kill, his true nature was not revealed to anyone.
“But I never thought Woojin would catch me. “It’s like this too.”
Baek Seong-hyeon giggled and scratched the wall.
He never imagined that Baek Woo-jin would reveal his true nature and that he would be treated so one-sidedly.
People might think the two had a duel of whistles, but that’s not the case at all. He was just beaten unilaterally by Baek Woo-jin.
“How much information did you take?”
He also confirmed that he had killed Baek Seon-ah, who was hiding his true nature and military power, and it seemed like he knew the secret of the Blue Swordsman from the name he used from outside.
“Compared to that, I only learned about his level of power.”
Even though Baek Woo-jin did not use spirits, he displayed the power of late 7th or 8th grade.
‘But that’s not correct information either.’
Just as he was hiding his military power, Baek Woo-jin also did not use the spirit or the black sword he used in the video.
“It might actually be a good thing.”
Baek Woo-jin’s power and popularity were constantly rising.
If you kill that child when he or she has grown and gained a reputation, you may be able to experience a joy you have never felt before.
‘I guess I’ll have to go there as soon as I get out.’
I discovered an open dungeon in a personally created group of talented people. On the way there, he was caught by Baek Woo-jin.
‘It’s a dungeon that gives you what you need most…’
Baek Seong-hyeon looked up at the ceiling of Myeonbyeok-dong and smiled.
* * *
“Both of you, come in.”
Baek Woo-jin took Moo Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young into the Battle of Baekwi.
“Wow, this room is no joke.”
Since it was Mu Young-gaek’s first time entering Baek Woo-jin’s room, he looked around and expressed admiration.
“If you steal even one thing, I’ll cut your wrists off.”
“Oh, that’s too much. “Would I steal something from the prosecutor if I didn’t go crazy?”
I waved my hand as if it wasn’t a ghost, but I couldn’t stop my eyes from rolling.
-That guy’s eyes keep rolling?
“Younggaek. “I can hear your eyes rolling.”
“This is an occupational disease. I really have no intention of stealing! haha!”
Muyounggaek smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
“Stop talking nonsense and sit there, both of you.”
“yes!”
“yep!”
After Moo Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young answered, they sat in front of the table. Baek Woo-jin prepared three cups of coffee and placed them on the table.
“How many people get to drink the prosecutor’s coffee! It is an honour! This coffee cup looks extremely expensive…”
“Don’t even think about stealing it.”
“I just said it was expensive.”
“I cannot take your word for it.”
“You’re so serious about everything. And then it breaks.”
Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek argued endlessly. Now, I can’t tell if our relationship is good or bad.
“stop.”
At Baek Woo-jin’s words, the two of them closed their mouths like a joint.
widely.
Baek Woo-jin hit the table with his right hand. When he lifted his downed hand, two rings remained. It was a ring next to the tofu.
“This is it, right?”
“you’re right.”
Muyoung-gaek smiled and nodded.
“that? “What kind of ring is this?”
“This is Baek Seong-hyun’s.”
“Yes?”
Moon Joo-young’s mouth opened wide. Because he arrived late, he did not see Baek Seong-hyeon take off the ring.
“Actually, before Baek Seong-hyeon went on a rampage, I gave him a ring…”
“Ugh!”
When Baek Woo-jin explained the situation, Moon Ju-young’s eyes grew so big that they almost popped out.
“You stole that? “This crazy guy is real!”
“Don’t worry. “If I brought just one, I wouldn’t have been caught.”
“You were the reason why the Blue Swordsman searched the area for 10 days!”
The Blue Swordsman has been searching the place where the battle took place. When I asked what the reason was, it was because of this ring.
“Master Tao! This guy is truly crazy! It will ruin us someday! “We have to kick them out now!”
“It’s hard to say that I’m out of my mind. “I’m just a little sick.”
“It hurts! “What nonsense are you talking about again!”
“I told you. “I suffer from an occupational disease.”
“Some guy’s occupational disease breaks out every day!”
“It’s an occupational disease because it breaks out every day.”
Mu Young-gaek did not give a single word to Moon Ju-young’s correct opinion and spewed out bullshit.
-Isn’t that kleptomania that will never be cured?
‘Maybe so.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed because it was absurd. To be honest, I never imagined that Muyounggaek would show up with that ring.
“It’s okay for him to steal things.”
“yes?”
“You may have guessed it, so I’ll tell you clearly this time.”
Baek Woo-jin informed Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek of the information about Baek Seong-hyeon that he had discovered so far.
“I stole it right! “My hand, be praised!”
Mu Young-gaek stroked the back of his hand as if it were a puppy.
“Well then, from now on, the third master, no, Baek Seong-hyeon is our enemy.”
Moon Ju-young looked at Mu Young-gaek like he was crazy and then turned his head to Baek Woo-jin.
“okay. “He may be the most dangerous enemy.”
“All right. “I will explain it properly to the medical school.”
“Please do that.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and then looked at Mu Young-gaek.
“No spirit guest.”
“yes!”
“Take it all out.”
“yes?”
“Take out everything you stole from the Blue Swordsman and Baek Seong-hyeon.”
“How can that…”
“How can a dung fly pass through poop?”
“Dungfly. Hahaha!
Moon Joo-young burst into laughter as if it were exhilarating.
“Your words are too harsh.”
“It’s a compliment that you did your job properly. Take it out quickly.”
“Is that true?
“okay. “It means you have a strong professional spirit.”
“okay!”
Mu Young-gaek laughed out loud and took out his subspace bag and poured it out on the floor.
Toad-duk-duk.
There were sparkling jewels and even small weapons in purses and pockets.
“When did you do this?”
“The auror storm disappeared, so swordsmen flocked in at once. “I stole it then.”
Mu Young-gaek said that he went to a store and stole something under the impression that he had bought snacks.
“The real you is, you can’t let down your guard!”
“I’m not doing this because I want to. My hands automatically…”
“You’re laughing. “You said you stole it because you liked it.”
“It’s good, but it’s not completely good…”
Whether the two fought or not, Baek Woo-jin rummaged through the items.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin found a piece of paper under his wallet. I opened it, but it was a blank page with nothing written on it.
“Oh, that’s ‘Mushanseo.’ “It’s a piece of paper where you have to write the password to see it properly.”
“You need to write down your password?”
“yes! “If you write the password on that piece of paper, the letters written on that piece of paper will come out.”
“I can’t believe there was a paper like this.”
It was my first time hearing the name Musanseo, but I knew what kind of paper it was.
“Can you decipher it?”
“If you write it wrong, the paper will burn. but!”
Muyounggaek pounded his chest.
“Who am I! Aren’t you a righteous robber who can’t steal anything? “I prepare it in advance so I can solve it quickly.”
“I heard you washed your hands.”
“I guess I washed my hands a little less. “When I watch TV these days, they tell me to wash my hands in 6 stages, but I’m probably in 2 stages.”
“That’s not what it means!”
“haha!”
Moo Young-gaek just burst out laughing despite Moon Ju-young’s nagging.
“Start detoxification right away.”
“All right.”
Muyounggaek knelt down on the floor and began to decipher the code on the paper.
-What? Wasn’t that ring your gamble?
‘Of course not.’
Gambling was not Baek Seong-hyeon’s ring.
-then?
‘It was my gamble to find out information about where Baek Seong-hyeon was going.’
-Where to go?
‘Baek Seong-hyeon was going outside to do his personal work. I tried to find out the location first and try to disturb him or take care of things like items or dungeons first.
-Huh…
‘That’s why I relaxed in the middle. To get out of Myeonbyeok-dong first.’
This was precisely the reason why I cut my teeth with my sword before my father arrived.
-How does your brain really work?
I was truly amazed.
I couldn’t believe that he was thinking like that while fighting with Baek Seong-hyun, who was stronger than him.
-If there were two people like you, the world would have been ruined.
If Mu Young-gaek was crazy about stealing, Baek Woo-jin was crazy about making fun of others.
“Well, it’s an enemy…”
“Enemy?”
“yes. “The first letter is the enemy, but I don’t know what comes next.”
“Isn’t it a red dragon?”
“Red Dragon?”
Moo Young-gaek tilted his head and tried Baek Woo-jin’s password.
“uh! that’s right! It’s possible!”
Muyeonggaek wrote the word ‘Jeokryong’ right on the white rice paper.
Sigh.
Then the letters ‘Jeokryong’ disappeared and new letters appeared.
“Gamhosan?”
The name of Gamho Mountain in Chungcheong Province was written on the paper.
“Who stole this paper?”
“He was a middle-aged prosecutor who was behind Baek Seong-hyun from the beginning. “My face was burnt and a little yellow…”
“Then this is real.”
The person from whom Mu Young-gaek stole the paper is Hwang Jeong-woo, the head of the Blue Sword. Since he had it, it was clear that this was the correct address.
“Good job!”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and patted Mu Young-gaek on the shoulder.
“Heh.”
Mu Young-gaek pushed up the corner of his mouth and looked at Moon Ju-young.
“Profit…”
Moon Joo-young shook her shoulders as if she was angry.
‘As long as Baek Seong-hyeon is in Myeonbyeok-dong, whatever is on this mountain, he probably hasn’t been able to get it yet.’
-I guess so.
Baek Woo-jin grinned when he saw Mu Young-gaek arguing with Moon Ju-young.
‘I guess I should try stealing too.’
* * *
Baek Woo-jin arrived at Gamho Mountain in Chungcheong Province under the pretense of practicing in a private practice room. Of course, his appearance had been changed to the mask of the Ten Thousand Demons.
“Is this the right place?”
“you’re right. “It’s clear to see the people over there.”
Mu Yeong-gaek looked at the two men standing at the entrance of the mountain and nodded. The men wore the badge of the Ability Association on their chests.
“They are dressed as an association, but they are not members of the association.”
“I think the same.”
The men were dressed as an association and blocking the mountain, but their actions showed that they were far from an association.
If it were really an association, more people would have been blocking a smaller area rather than the entire mountain.
“If Baek Seong-hyeon was able to move it himself, an unusual dungeon, monster, or facility would definitely have appeared. “Search properly.”
“All right!”
Muyounggaek nodded and disappeared. Since he was a thief by nature, he seemed excited by the idea of stealing Baek Seong-hyeon’s treasure.
-What are you doing? Aren’t you going?
‘Before that…’
Baek Woo-jin hid his presence after wearing rapport items and stuck to the side of people pretending to be employees of the association.
“Ah…”
After about 10 minutes, the man on the right opened his mouth, probably out of boredom.
“The weather is so nice, how long do we have to stay like this? “It’s a bit sore.”
“There are about 10 days left until he comes.”
“Honestly, I don’t think anyone will come even if we’re not there. “Isn’t it a complete waste of manpower?”
“It’s better than exploring an unknown dungeon or maintaining camp in front of it.”
“Yes, but…”
After listening to the conversation between the two, I was able to understand that there was a dungeon on this mountain and the surrounding area was covered with a camp.
-I need to find Jin.
‘That’s easy.’
Baek Woo-jin unleashed the Black War Cannon’s special ability, Dark Unhyang.
I pulled out the energy long and thin like a thread and searched for places that disrupted the flow of nature.
‘found.’
When I got to the middle of the mountain, I felt like the flow of energy was going against me, unlike before.
‘Is it there?’
Baek Woo-jin used Amunhyang’s enhanced senses to understand Jin’s flow and followed the flow inside.
There were people inside and outside Jin, but not a single person noticed Baek Woo-jin’s presence.
-uh?
‘Is that a dungeon?’
Inside the camp, as the people below said, there was a dungeon.
But it was different from any dungeon I had seen so far.
The entrance to the dungeon was wide open without a black curtain, and the exterior of the dungeon resembled the face of a tiger rising from the ground.
‘Tiger? No way….’
