“joy. See you later. “Heavenly Demon.”
-thud!
After the door closed Mo Qingyun frowned.
Then the young man asked with a puzzled expression.
-Heavenly Demon?….Why is the golden haired nine-tailed fox calling you that?
“….well.”
The reason why it is called a demon is because I remember that the golden haired nine-tailed fox said that it was a demon itself and that it would be called that.
But why did they add the Chinese character ‘天’ in front of it?…
[how is it? Is it okay to be called demon? I’m bored if I just say no so would it be better to put a last name or something in front of it? Fall from the sky…..]
For a moment her neck tilted and the words she had said flashed through her mind.
She said that she had fallen from the sky although he had cut her off along the way.
What does that mean?
– Thick!
At that moment a strong pain was felt at the top of her head the Baekhoehyeol area.
In response Mok Kyung-un covered his head with his hands.
If it had been just a mild headache she would have ignored it and moved on but the pain in front of her eyes instantly turned white and the pain was so intense that it was difficult to stand.
-Rebirth!
When Mok Gyeong-un stumbled her friend hurriedly came over and tried to support her.
However as her spiritual body became blurred she was unable to hold onto Mo Qingyun of her own accord.
-Sleep!
The neck tiller passed her hand and made her fall to one knee.
-Are sentient beings okay? rebirth.
Hearing her concern in her voice Mok Gyeong-un held out her hand and said.
“It’s okay…..”
– Thick!
Before she could finish speaking the pain intensified as if her pulse was racing.
At that moment a scene he had never seen before suddenly appeared in Mo Kyung-un’s mind.
that
-Shoooooooo!
It was a sight of myself falling towards the ground from a very high sky.
It was so high that even the mountains on the ground seemed small.
What on earth is this?
Why does a sight she has never experienced come back to her like an old memory?
It didn’t end there.
– Thick!
Soon the scene disappeared and another scene appeared.
It was a scene where her dead grandfather was looking at her and bowing down in astonishment as if he felt some sort of thrill.
‘Why on earth?’
It is the face of her grandfather whom she has never seen.
Why are you bowing down towards yourself with that look on your face?
It was a moment of puzzlement.
-Rebirth!
The voice of the young woman rang in her ears and the scenes in her memory that seemed to unfold vividly before her eyes were cut off.
At the same time the headache that had been making her head feel like it was going to explode stopped.
“ah…”
-Rebirth? Why are you doing that? Did you hurt her head?
Mok Gyeong-un who had been dazed raised her head and looked at her Cheongnyeong.
Her face looked very different from when I first met her looking at her with worried eyes.
In the past she felt like she was concerned that if she died she would disappear as well but now she feels like she is truly sincere about her own well-being.
‘A different expression…’
A person cannot be the same to others.
She could tell just by looking at her grandfather’s face that she had seen in her memories.
What on earth was that just now?
Why did she suddenly remember something she had never experienced… or was this really a memory of something she had never experienced?
‘weird.’
Come to think of it she couldn’t remember what happened just before a certain point as if a part of her memory had been cut out.
So is that part of the memory that just disappeared?
While I was lost in doubt I heard the voice of a young man.
-Rebirth. I think it’s because of the magical power it absorbed. Have a lucky breakfast right now.
“Lucky breakfast?”
-okay. No matter how much you are an unembodied magical power is no different from poison. So I think it would be better to embody the magical power first.
Hearing the young man’s words Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes sparkled.
She was also in danger right now.
Her spiritual power was constantly dissipating and if it continued like this it could disappear but it was a strange feeling to see her taking care of herself first.
hereto
“Before that I’ll give you a tip first.”
-There is no need for that. Your condition is no better now…
“no. “It doesn’t take that long to give magic power.”
-Sigh!
With these words Mo Kyung-yun placed her palm towards the head of her young spirit’s spirit body.
And he sent some of the golden-haired nine-tailed fox’s magical power that remained in her body.
The moment her spirit body entered the head the blue spirit’s eyes began to flutter.
-ah!
Even when she received the Assassin King’s magical power she was surprised by its high level of purity.
However it was a power that was even more incomparable.
The moment she got on board her eyes opened brightly and it felt like her eyes were opening.
This pure and vast magical power held back her spirit body that was about to disperse and made her opaque again.
-I told you to start with….
“It takes quite some time to embody the magical power anyway. So let’s embody it together.”
-……
“And I think I’ll be quite busy once I get into it.”
If what the golden-haired nine-tailed fox said was true there was a mark in Geum’s stomach that was left behind by her deceased grandfather.
He must have had some clue too so he had to find it.
* * *
The next day is a dark night when everyone is asleep.
One of the offices of the National Assembly.
Someone with their face covered sneaked into the place when the lights were off.
He was none other than Dream Muyak.
‘According to the information.’
He had found out through secret agents infiltrating the imperial palace that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ office was empty around this time.
Seeing an opportunity they secretly broke in at night.
On the outside it was an ordinary office with a cabinet bookshelf and desk.
however
‘If you look at the office from the outside it should be a little bigger than this. Of course that means there is a secret space.’
-widely! widely!
Meng Muyak touched the bookshelf on the wall here and there.
Then the moment I take out a book
-Drur!
The bookshelf was slightly pushed to the side.
‘I found it.’
Meng Wuyao held onto the gaping gap and pushed the bookshelf and it was pushed away like a door.
Along with that the space hidden inside was revealed.
The sealed dark room was dark so Meng Muyak went in with the lamp on the desk and lit a candle.
‘ah!’
The interior was visible in the light of the lamp.
There were hidden ledgers numerous books and a locked safe.
Meng Muyak who was skimming through this approached the bookshelf.
There wasn’t much time so I had to hurry before the night shift started.
‘see.’
Meng Wuyak took out books without titles one by one and looked at the contents inside.
‘This is a secret ledger.’
I heard that there are quite a lot of rotten patients even within the Geumuiui Commission so I never thought they would keep a secret ledger like this.
You might think that something like this shouldn’t be left in the first place but
‘The more corruption there is the more meticulous the law becomes.’
If you have a ledger you can defend yourself later.
The more clumsy a person is the more they do their work moderately but the more prepared they are the more prepared they are and they meticulously prepare accounting and ledgers to prepare for any unexpected situation.
Mong Wuyak who was looking closely at the secret ledger clicked his tongue and took it into his arms.
‘It might be useful in some circumstances.’
There was nothing I was looking for among the books on the bookshelf.
That said it seemed to be a safe.
Meng Muyak took out a thin copper wire from his pocket and inserted it into his lock.
And then she took it like she was used to.
-Slap!
‘That’s it.’
-Quick!
When I opened the safe there were quite a few things inside.
There were a lot of things including expensive stolen goods but I didn’t need any of this.
There was only one thing I really needed.
It is one of several books in the safe.
‘I found it!’
It was the Geumok list.
In order to find this out in advance he had used intermediaries to figure out the safety route for each hour.
And he finally found what he wanted.
‘Now I can know the location.’
In order to fulfill the secret mission they received they had to first find out where the man was trapped in the underground gold prison.
The underground Geumok was so large in scale and there were so many security guards in the engine formation that if you did not know the location and Geumok’s movements in advance you could have failed to escape.
‘see.’
-Sureuk!
Geumok’s list included the names and locations of the buildings where the prisoners were confined.
As it is known that only vicious and notorious prisoners go there there were quite a few names that Meng Muyak who was from Cheonjihoe also knew.
But he couldn’t find the name he was looking for.
‘…It’s difficult. ‘Could it be that they’re trapped here?’
After a while he came to the list of Mugan Geumok (無間禁獄) the lowest level of Geumok.
From what I heard from the officials those imprisoned in the Infinite Penitentiary are those whom the imperial palace defines as the worst and even their personal images are subject to strict management.
Therefore it is said that the boundary of this invincible gold jade cannot be compared with the existing layers.
‘It’s going to be difficult.’
Meng Muyak who was clicking his tongue soon turned over the list of Mugan Geumok.
-Sureuk!
The number of generals on the list was not very large.
But the moment he turned the first page Meng Wuyak’s eyes widened.
‘Is the deputy commander of the Red Red Army still alive?’
I heard that about 30 years ago there was a major famine and uprisings broke out all over the country.
The people who led it were Lee Jeok the leader of the Red Army and Vice Commander Lee Baek and the number of government soldiers they killed reached as high as 100000.
I understand that Suryeong Lee Jeok was captured by the mobilization of the left and right provincial governors at the time.
The price for treason was of course the punishment of being torn limb from limb in front of the people.
At that time I thought Deputy Commander Lee Baek was also dead but he was still on the list.
‘It’s a big deal from the first page.’
After flipping through a few pages a number of surprising names appeared.
They were the worst prisoners with no idea what would happen to each of them when they were released.
I don’t know what they kept these people alive for.
If it were Cheonjihoe it would have been better to have killed him in the first place to avoid any repercussions later.
‘hmm.’
Meng Wuyak who continued to turn the page stopped midway.
Towards the end there was a list with the name ‘Murimin’ written on it.
‘Were there any martial people?’
Although martial people were sometimes included in the registers from the first basement to the third floor I had no idea that there were martial people in Mugan Geumok.
If you are a martial arts prisoner who is considered the worst in the imperial palace then who is imprisoned?
Out of curiosity Meng Muyak looked over the list.
‘This is my first time hearing everything.’
It was full of people who didn’t even know him as he was a member of the information department directly under the head of Cheonjihoe.
Is it because they are so old that little information is left behind?
As he was puzzled Meng Muyak’s eyes widened.
‘!?’
[百二十六 – old way religion – six way star]
‘Nine blood cells and six blood cells’
Meng Muyak couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the list.
It was an organization that did not exist in the current Moorim region but it was so infamous that it was passed down through word of mouth so he knew about it.
This is because the place where the remnants of the old blood religion known to have been extinct a long time ago and a part of the Four Sects gathered together and established the Sa-Ryeon Alliance which is called the center of the current Sapa.
‘There were traces of the old blood religion.’
But what was more interesting here was the limbs hanging underneath.
The other lists were just dictated information but under this one’s list what appeared to be instructions were written in a wave.
‘Keep ten steps away. ‘Close your eyes and ears when feeding food into Geumok’s device.’
Meng Muyak frowned.
He is imprisoned in a gold prison. Why did he warn me not to come within ten steps?
The warning instructions that follow are also strange.
If he were to be imprisoned in a golden prison martial arts would have been abolished or banned so why is he giving such a warning?
Mong Wuyak who was puzzled soon turned over his paper.
The warning itself was quite scary but since he wasn’t the person they were looking for it didn’t matter.
-Sarak!
After flipping through a few pages there were now only two.
With only three pages left Meng Wuyak felt nervous inside.
If there was no list in this it would be as if that person was not in the underground gold prison contrary to the information they found out.
-Sarak!
He turned one page like that.
‘huh?’
There was something strange about the one chapter before the last chapter.
Usually the list listed Geumok Lake and briefly described who was imprisoned and their personal information.
However the last one only said that he was prisoner number one hundred and twenty-ninth and that he should never approach within thirty paces of Geumok.
‘Don’t approach me?’
It was further away than the person named Yukhyeolseong of the nine blood religions.
Moreover there was a strong warning written on the back that was even more difficult to understand.
‘If someone gets within thirty paces he must never attempt to rescue them? ‘What does this mean?’
Don’t try to rescue me?
What does this mean?
Mong Muyak who couldn’t understand anything was the type of person who didn’t care anyway so he shook his head and then turned the paper to the last page.
And when he saw the name written on his list Mong Muyak’s eyes filled with joy.
[百三十 – 拜火敎 – Holy Fire Spiritual Master]
‘Baehwagyo Seonghwayeongju!’
I finally found it.
Perhaps because it was released relatively recently the last chapter was particularly clean.
However unlike those before them the text was not a warning but something that seemed like a completely different set of instructions.
[Find the location of the Orb of Holy Fire.]
‘…What does this mean again?’
Orb of Holy Fire?
I couldn’t figure out why it said to find its location.
Then it happened.
-hey. hey. Why are you sleeping?
At the sound of voices coming from outside the office Mongmuyak immediately closed the door to the safe.
If we do not withdraw the secured route will be disrupted.
Fortunately the goal was achieved on time.
* * *
-Great love!
A bell was raised announcing the happy hour.
Inside the imperial palace there was a mayor who rang a bell to announce the time.
-Sigh!
Having achieved his goal Mong Muyak left his office and headed to his lodgings along the route he had secured.
Since all shifts were centered around the axis the time when the handover was taking place was the perfect time to move.
Mongmuyak who was moving along the route killing all traces of him climbed over the fence.
-widely!
Now if you climb over just one wall you will find the accommodation.
It was the moment when Mong Wuyak who had been sneaking through the darkness was about to jump over the last fence.
-Park!
At that moment someone grabbed his ankle as he tried to jump.
Meng Wuyak was taken aback and tried to kick the opponent who was holding his ankle.
-Park!
The opponent easily caught his strategy.
Then he pulled one of his legs and quickly overpowered the blood vessel.
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
His body stiffened and he was about to fall but an unknown person caught him.
Then he laid it down gently on the floor.
Meng Wuyak’s pupils got bigger.
That was because the person who subdued him was none other than the eunuch of Seochang.
He managed to get out of the office without being detected but he had no idea that he would be discovered by Xochang’s eunuch just ahead of his lodgings.
‘shit!’
Judging from his attire he seemed to be a eunuch of quite high rank.
At that time the eunuch of Xichang smiled put his finger to his mouth and whispered.
“Work is going well even without me.”
Meng Wuyak’s eyes widened when he heard those words.
The owner of this voice is none other than
‘My lord?’
It belonged to Lord Mok Gyeong-un who was thought to have been murdered by the Geumuiwi Councilor.
