-You really?
“yes. “I had a relationship.”
‘!!!!!!!!!!’
Cheongryeong’s expression hardened at Mo Kyung-un’s straightforward expression.
I thought she was a stone-cold person who had no interest in relationships between men and women but I didn’t expect such words to come out.
Even though she was a vengeful soul she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
But the moment Cheongnyeong remembered that her face turned red and her expression became distorted.
‘…Wait a minute you look just like that middle-aged woman.’
At this Cheongnyeong could not hide her embarrassment.
Even though she has a different vibe she is so similar that if you look at her appearance alone she and Soyeon above her look like her sisters or twins.
She said she had a relationship even though she knew it?
At that moment Cheongnyeong pictured herself in the image of Soyeon above her.
Maybe that’s why
-you! you! It’s going really well.
“yes?”
-That middle-aged woman resembles me…
Cheongnyeong could not bear to continue her conversation.
She asked if he had a relationship with her even though she knew he looked like her. She tried to stop but she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t continue talking.
‘This bastard is really…’
Are you asking because you don’t know why this is happening?
She would have been fine if she didn’t look like herself.
However when she saw that middle-aged woman she would think of herself and having a relationship with her made her feel uncomfortable and strange not to mention embarrassed.
Surely she didn’t think of herself while sleeping with that bastard?
she said.
Then Mok Gyeong-un said.
“Hmm. I don’t know what you’re talking about but I don’t think there will be any problem. “If she says she has it it would be better to deal with it before then.”
-….
Cheongryeong frowned at Mo Kyung-un’s words like this.
Was she making too much of a fuss on her own?
Looking at this guy’s attitude she seemed to be just as cool-headed about everything as she usually was.
Does that mean she really didn’t have any feelings or selfishness in having a relationship with the girl named So-yeon who looked like her?
‘…Is it any weirder that she hoped she would have those feelings for this guy in the first place?’
If you think about it Mok Kyung-un didn’t really show any emotions other than his murderous obsession to find the person who killed his grandfather.
Her smiling face was also just a false emotion meant to put the other person at ease and let down their guard.
The only time he smiled sincerely was when he saw blood.
Considering this it is really nothing more or less than having a relationship for a purpose.
Although it is questionable whether this guy has any desire for the opposite sex in the first place.
‘If it’s something like that don’t worry about it….’
There is no such thing.
I keep getting worried.
He thought that after becoming a vengeful soul all emotions other than resolving resentment would disappear but that didn’t seem to be the case.
I couldn’t help but feel worried and uncomfortable thinking that it would have been better if I didn’t know.
However this guy didn’t mind but he didn’t even bring it up anymore because he was afraid it would look weird if he made a fuss about it.
Then Mok Gyeong-un came up to her and pointed at something about her.
“But what is that?”
-That?
“yes. “No matter how you look at it it looks like the portrait painted on that scroll.”
-….
Cheongryeong kept his mouth shut at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
Even if that wasn’t the case it seemed like he would ask about himself in that scroll.
‘Maybe I should have just torn it up.’
I was worried that this guy would be suspicious.
But I couldn’t bear it.
That was the last trace of himself left in the world and he…
At that time Mok Gyeong-un sighed and smiled.
“It looks like a peony wearing such a beautiful red bridal gown and a gold crown. “I guess there was a wedding at least?”
‘!?’
Cheongryeong’s eyes wavered at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
[It looks like a red peony.]
A voice that ripples through my head.
A hundred years had passed and now even my memory was fading and that voice came to mind.
She slowly looked at Mo Qingyun.
It’s truly unique.
I can’t believe I’m hearing those words from a long time ago again through this sentient being.
I can’t help but feel really nostalgic.
‘hmm?’
A strange look appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
He couldn’t help but be puzzled by the faint expression on Cheongnyeong’s face something he had never seen before.
Is there a story behind the picture in this scroll?
With a face like that I couldn’t ask anything more about the portrait of her wearing a bridal gown.
But then something came into Mok Gyeong-un’s field of vision.
‘!?’
It was a censer in front of an old altar.
It is a shrine that looks like a place no one visits with dust piled up and cobwebs everywhere.
However the only clean things in the shrine were the scroll portrait and this incense burner.
Traces of broken incense in the incense burner.
And the floor in front of it isn’t the only place where dust piles up.
‘Is someone visiting here regularly?’
Otherwise it couldn’t have been like that.
In this old shrine there is a hanging scroll with a portrait of what is presumed to be a young spirit and he visits this place regularly…
Could it be that they are blood relatives or acquaintances related to Cheongnyeong?
It was then.
-Shudder!
Mo Kyung-un looked in a certain direction.
Then she took out the wooden doll in her arms and hurriedly sent a message to Cheongnyeong.
-Cheongryeong!
-I felt this too.
She too felt almost the same as Mo Qingyun.
It was a very subtle energy but it was almost identical to the main force wave.
That meant that the owner of this main force was very close.
Mok Gyeong-un made a hand sign and recited a small spell.
Then Cheongryeong’s body changed into smoke and soon penetrated into the wooden doll held by Mokgyeongun.
-SSSSSSSS!
Mok Gyeong-un sealed her spirit inside her wooden doll and placed it in her arms.
And as he was about to go out he stopped.
He sensed that the faint main force was being felt outside the door of the shrine.
‘It’s fast.’
So first of all I tried to hide myself by jumping to the ceiling using the Gyeongshinbeop.
It was right then.
-Suuuuuuu!
At that moment the surrounding area was covered with dark shadows and Mok Gyeong-un’s new form which was about to hit the floor stopped in that state.
‘!?’
What on earth is this?
It was such a strange phenomenon.
My body which was trying to jump is frozen in this position and cannot move.
It was as if my entire body was paralyzed and I could not feel any of the sensations in my body. This was my first time experiencing this.
I have to hide myself right away. What’s going on?
It was a car I was puzzled about.
-Kkeeeeeek!
The door opened and someone came inside.
Although the shrine was covered in darkness it was clearly visible to Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
It was a man who looked to be in his early to mid-40s wearing a gray military uniform with a yin and yang drawn on it.
Although he had a rather ordinary-looking face Mok Gyeong-un was able to tell that he was a person of Wonsalgak thanks to the robes he was wearing.
‘Bangsul?’
So is it because of witchcraft that your body has become stiff now?
If that were the case I would be really surprised.
What kind of magic is this?
All five senses cannot be felt and only consciousness is intact.
-Rebirth? Rebirth? Why are you doing that?
Cheongryeong also urgently asked about the strange phenomenon that happened to Mok Gyeong-un.
However even though he was conscious he was unable to move his entire body so Mok Gyeong-un was unable to respond to her words.
Why can’t I move my body?
-Jump jump jump!
Bangsa approached with the sound of footsteps.
Seeing this type of radiation Mok Gyeong-un did not know what this technique was but he considered it more dangerous than anything he had known before.
Where can you find such a fraudulent technique a technique that stops everything except consciousness?
Isn’t this a method that can kill anyone if you put your mind to it?
-Rebirth! Rebirth!
The young man’s voice rang loudly.
She thought Mok Kyung-un’s condition was dangerous and was wondering whether she should break the wooden doll and leave right away.
– Damn it!
When Bang Bang approached her almost ten steps away she ended up breaking the wooden doll and trying to get out.
At this point she was about to open her eyes and face disaster.
-Click!
When Cheongnyeong used her magic power to break her wooden doll she cracked it.
It was that moment.
-Stop!
-uh? you?
Cheongnyeong who was about to break her wooden doll and leave stopped it.
-Are you okay?
-yes. Suddenly all my senses came back.
I don’t know why but the moment Cheongryeong cracked the wooden doll to break it out the feeling in his whole body returned.
But something even more bizarre happened here.
The very moment my senses came back the figure of Bang Bang who was walking disappeared.
It wasn’t the concept of ‘moving quickly’.
It suddenly disappeared before my eyes as if it had never existed from the beginning.
It was like ‘It became unrecognizable.’
-no?
-…What on earth is this?
I definitely felt the main force beyond the door of the shrine.
And didn’t he walk right in front of you?
But suddenly it disappeared.
Because my senses had stopped it was difficult to even determine the presence or absence of energy as it disappeared without a trace before my eyes.
-I need to get out of there first.
-I agree. Hurry up.
I didn’t know if it was a trick or not but if I couldn’t figure this out accurately there was no way to deal with it.
The only answer was to get out of this place.
-Pot!
Mok Gyeong-un flew the new model outside.
* * *
Same time.
-Rurg!
Bangil Jo Tae-cheong who was sitting on the roof of the old pagoda and making the sword seal had blood streaming down his forehead.
At the same time Jo Tae-cheong frowned in disbelief.
What on earth is going on?
Although there were some restrictions the Chochigeumjutsu time-space jeonmanjeok law which could not be solved unless the caster understood it was suddenly broken.
Fortunately no living thing was touched during the method so the aftermath was small.
However this was an unexpected variable.
‘What is that guy…?’
This is not the first time that the Chochi Jinjutsu has been broken in the middle… no it is not the first time but the situation was completely different then.
This was possible because the monster transcended the human realm.
One the boy in the darkness whom I had just seen through the time-space translation method.
It was so dark that it was hard to see even from ten paces away but at first glance it was a 17-18 year old kid who hadn’t even reached maturity yet.
There was no way a kid like that could have done something like that.
From the beginning when the pre-construction law was imposed nothing could be done.
At that time Jo Tae-cheong’s expression became distorted and his expression changed.
Then he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Don’t be overconfident just because it’s gold. “There is no perfect technique in the world.”
As soon as those words were finished Jo Tae-cheong’s face returned to its original state.
Then
“I know that arrangement. However this technique does not include living beings as objects of recognition. You know that too right? Wait… really?”
-Wow! Wow!
Jo Tae-cheong frowned again and spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Hehehe. “You found the answer.”
As soon as he finished saying those words Jo Tae-cheong’s face returned to its original state and the corner of his mouth quirked up.
“I see.”
A high-ranking vengeful spirit that swept through the inner chambers of the Heaven and Earth Association.
By predicting the path of the spiritual power moving while escaping the two food spirits the location that was guessed was that old shrine.
Even so it was a car that made me curious about what it was trying to hide.
But it seemed like I found the answer with this.
* * *
Meanwhile Mok Kyung-un was quickly heading somewhere.
Cheongnyeong asked Mok Gyeong-un.
-Where are you going? First back to carcinoma…
-no. I need to hurry before then.
-What do you mean? The radiant guy who uses strange and unknown techniques will probably be anxious to find you and his true identity but for now it’s better to be self-respecting until a solution is found…
-So I think we need to hurry up.
-what?
-I saw his face but he also saw a glimpse of my face. It won’t take that long to find it.
-You really?
-If I could kill him I would.
As Mok Gyeong-un said those words life flickered in his eyes.
The place where Mok Gyeong-un was heading was none other than the vicinity of the old tower where Wonsalgak’s manor was located.
