“It is said that the Baekhwa believer was able to predict the future by receiving a revelation of a holy fire or something.”
‘!?’
At those words Mok Gyeong-un raised one eyebrow and tilted his head.
“You…predict the future?”
Sang Ik-seo the commanding officer responded to Mok Gyeong-un’s question.
“Yes… I don’t know if that’s true or not but there was a lot of talk at the top to the point where there was a lot of noise about it.”
“Yejira…”
Predict the future.
Is such a thing really possible?
Regardless of whether it was interesting or surprising Mok Gyeong-un thought it was completely impossible.
If that had really been possible in the first place there would have been no need to prevent the Chinese Christians from being oppressed and like this.
‘But…assuming it works it’s an ability that everyone would covet.’
Being able to know what would happen in the future was an incredible ability.
This gives you the advantage of being able to prepare for things in the future.
‘I’m confused.’
It became unclear whether the leader was targeting the Holy Fire Spirit Pillar because he was a member of the Mark’s organization or whether he was targeting it because of this precognitive ability.
This was because the ability to predict was something that everyone would covet.
However there is something to point out here.
“But did you just say that you were able to have precognition?”
“Yes.”
“That makes it sound as if foreknowledge is not possible now.”
“…..”
Sang Ik-seo clicked his tongue at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
There was no way to miss a single detail.
“Isn’t it?”
“….you’re right. “I don’t know if he could have done it but couldn’t or if he couldn’t do it from the beginning and was tricked but now he can’t have foresight.”
“How do you know that?”
“At first I thought it could be faked and tested it several times. Even though he performed life-threatening tests such as asking people to tell the difference between a cup containing poison and a cup that did not he was truly unable to do anything like foresight.”
“I ended up doing something meaningless.”
“yes. However thanks to this the interest of the higher-ups who judged that there was nothing special about the Bae Hwa cultist subsided. No it’s almost gone.”
“hmm. But is keeping them locked up just in case?”
“I think that’s probably true. There is even the slightest possibility that if we find the jewel that the Buddhists are desperately trying to hide foresight may become possible… ugh.”
At that time while speaking commanding officer Sang Ik-seo clutched his abdomen and let out a groan.
Her condition was not good as her face was pale yet purple.
This was a symptom of the poison spreading beyond the five organs and throughout the body.
It seemed impossible to hold on any longer.
“Kwaek.”
Could it be that effect?
Commanding officer Sang Ik-seo vomited and coughed up his black blood.
A foul smell came from the black blood that fell to the floor.
“Lord I’m going to die….Please save me…”
“Hmm.”
Sangik-seo who was coughing up blood crawled on the floor and looked at his neck Gyeong-un with pleading eyes.
Mok Gyeong-un who was looking down at this with dry eyes shook his head and then cut his finger and opened his jaw.
“Eat.”
-Drop drip!
Mok Gyeong-un’s blood entered Sang Ik-seo’s mouth.
Although he was surprised to suddenly eat blood Sang Ikseo who had a strong desire to live did as he was told and swallowed it down his throat.
Then the pain that felt like my whole body was burning including my five organs and six parts began to stop.
“ah?”
“It will be okay for a while.”
“For a while?”
“If I don’t do this regularly I’ll have a seizure like I’m doing now and then stop breathing right?”
Strictly speaking this was not a detox.
It was the principle of suppressing poison with poison.
At Mok Gyeong-un’s words Sang Ik-seo’s expression hardened.
“Weren’t you supposed to decipher it?”
“I never said that.”
“What is that!”
-closely!
“Whoop!”
Mok Gyeong-un grabbed command sergeant Sang Ik-seo’s cheeks with his hands and said with a smile.
“There is a strict difference between saying that you will save someone’s life.”
‘Oh no!’
Are you saying you didn’t have the heart to decipher it from the beginning?
Mok Gyeong-un whispered in his ear as he was embarrassed by the fact that he had been deceived.
“I’ve tried to manipulate someone so being manipulated by someone else wouldn’t be so bad.”
At these words Cheonho Mara-hyeon of the Geumwiwi passed through Sang Ik-seo’s mind.
Sangikseo used Marahyeon for solitude.
But now he has become addicted to poison and is at the mercy of this man.
This was literally retribution.
* * *
Mok Gyeong-un who had finished his errand and was moving in secret was lost in thought.
Although he was now much more informed than before he was still vague about many things.
In particular surrounding his grandfather’s death he became more and more suspicious as many things he did not know were revealed.
‘What on earth did grandfather have to do with them?’
Why did Mark’s organization target his grandfather?
And who really killed his grandfather?
The only key person who could solve all these questions was Ghost Sword.
‘Demon Sword…’
Coincidentally it all comes down to that.
In order to contact him like this it was of the utmost priority to contact Hoeju.
Another interesting thing here is the Seonghwa Commando.
As expected just like his grandfather the organization of signs was targeting a person named Seonghwaryeongju.
No more accurately it seemed like he wanted the Holy Spirit Lord’s ability.
‘Precognitive ability.’
I still didn’t believe it but if it was possible it was a rare ability that everyone would aim for even if they were not part of the organization of the mark.
The Seonghwa Spiritual Lord with this ability could also be a clue that could solve part of the mystery.
At least regardless of whether the ability is true or not the person himself must clearly know why the organization with the mark is targeting him.
‘If you know the reason it will be useful.’
Baehwagyo the organization of the Hoiju mark.
All of these people are aiming for the Holy Spirit Pearl.
If they could secure this person’s safety before they did they could use this as an excuse to get everything they wanted.
You will also be able to find out their hidden relationship.
* * *
The office of the U.S. Senate Committee.
The masked Cheonho Mara-hyeon of the National Guard was circling around the office with his back turned with anxious eyes.
What on earth is Mok Gyeong-un doing?
He said he was going to talk but I was wondering what he was doing.
‘Should I have followed along?’
When things go wrong he finds himself losing his life by loneliness.
He had no idea that entrusting one’s life to someone else would cause people to bleed so much.
But if you think about it if he had been caught moving with Mok Gyeong-un it could have backfired and gotten him into trouble.
Either way there was nothing he could do on his own.
Mara-hyeon’s eyes which were circling nervously around the reception table were shaking.
– Thick!
Sudden intense pain in the abdomen.
This wasn’t just pain.
Mara-hyeon embarrassed by the intense pain that felt as if something was gnawing at his abdomen fell on one knee clutching his abdomen.
-thud!
“Huh.”
In addition to the pain radiating to the Danjeon area I also felt like my intestines were being twisted.
Mara-hyeon was instinctively convinced that this was caused by loneliness.
‘Is this wrong?’
Otherwise there was no way I could have felt this pain.
Did trusting that bastard Mok Gyeong-un become a handshake?
Marahyeon gritted his teeth.
If he had failed and Sang Ik-seo the commanding officer had suffered a seizure of loneliness he was practically dead.
If he was going to die anyway he had to do everything he could.
The pain was so severe that he wanted to clutch his stomach and roll over but Marahyun endured it with superhuman patience and placed him cross-legged.
‘Let’s drive out loneliness with truth.’
That was the only thing I could do now.
Fortunately contrary to the threats I heard from Sang Ik-seo the assistant commander Solitude was running rampant without touching Danjeon so it seemed like I could bring out the true spirit.
“Whoa.”
Marahyeon raised his true energy and sent it to the place where loneliness was rampant.
He moves his energy as carefully as possible to control his loneliness.
-simplicity and honesty!
The moment he sent his energy to a nearby area the loneliness raged even more violently damaging his internal organs.
It would have been painful to just hurt him but solitude was literally poison.
The moment loneliness bit me extreme poison spread to my organs.
“Off.”
Mara Hyun who tried to endure with superhuman patience soon relaxed his cross-legged position and twisted his body.
He was tired and in no condition to move very well.
-Pakak!
In the meantime Mara-hyeon was unable to come to his senses due to the pain to the point where he was completely unaware of his mask being removed.
He rolled over to his eyes in the wall and his whole body convulsed.
Purple veins were appearing on his face and his condition was rapidly deteriorating.
‘Is this how I die?’
Mara-hyeon whose consciousness was gradually fading sensed her own death.
When the last moment came everything came to mind like a flash.
[Your father came from a very distant place in the west with a mission. Don’t blame him too much.]
I also remember the last thing his mother said about that damn guy before she died.
Why did this come to mind again?
He had achieved nothing yet but the thought of dying like this made everything feel empty.
The good news is that he didn’t cause any inconvenience to his teacher So Ye-rin Yuk Cheon-ho.
Since she has evidence like this if she is smart she will be able to catch Commanding Officer Sang Ik-seo.
“Ugh.”
Consciousness gradually fades away.
Then it happened.
-Sigh!
At that time someone placed their hands on Marahyeon’s abdomen and Baekhoehyeol the crown of her head.
Then something rushed into his body.
‘!?’
Marahyeon’s eyes which had been closed soon opened.
Marahyeon’s eyes wavered.
The energy rushing into his body was different from the general energy of internal health.
This was not the magic he knew.
It was like an endless darkness reminiscent of an abyss.
And in that darkness
-Gooooooo!
There was something so ferocious that it bordered on despair.
‘What the hell is this…’
Mara-hyeon was caught in a strange feeling by this unknown ferocious energy that she had never experienced before.
I had to reject this dangerous energy but instead I gradually became accustomed to it along with the thrill.
No he was right to say that it was eroding quickly.
-Sneaking!
At some point a black haze began to flow from Marahyeon’s entire body.
It was magical energy.
