Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 95

< Reduce Episode 26 (3) >

The senior warrior became angry and asked the ordinary warrior in red belts.

“What kind of guy did this?”

“that is…”

The warrior quietly turned his head and pointed with his eyes at someone standing sobbing in the square.

The senior warrior who saw that person was astonished and was dumbfounded.

“Is it that guy again?”

That guy again.

It was Mokgyeongun.

He left a strong impression in the first and second hurdles and earned the senior award so he had no choice but to remember even if he didn’t want to.

“There’s no way he could have taken on so many cadets alone. Did that guy and his teammates do it together?”

“I guess so.”

‘under.’

This is truly absurd.

Rescue of the leader and assistant that took place last night.

The purpose is to check who is the leader by voluntarily finding leaders and members among the cadets.

Of course I thought that there would be 4 vacancies due to the ganjas and that there would be a fight for funding.

And the reason the ban on murder was imposed in the first place was to allow a certain amount of fighting between them.

But this was a completely unexpected result.

‘Damn it.’

I thought at least 5 or more people would be selected.

However only two people were elected.

After the first and second gates the goal was to drag the cadets up as much as possible because they had proven their qualifications and mental strength to a certain extent.

But things got messed up because of that guy Mok Gyeong-un.

Accordingly the senior warrior spoke carefully to Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom.

“Gokju. “I guess it won’t work.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s gone too far.”

“line?”

“Isn’t that right? Out of eighty or seventy-six only sixteen made it to the group. “If you leave it alone it will be even worse…”

“What more is the problem?”

“yes?”

The senior warrior was taken aback by Lee Ji-yeom’s words.

If the right people were not selected by the end of the gate the higher-ups might take issue with it.

Lee Ji-yeom said to him who was concerned.

“….It may be excessive but it doesn’t break any rules. “What are you going to do to stop it?”

The senior warrior frowned.

Until yesterday Gokju had said that he thought he needed to pay more attention to wood farming.

But why is he suddenly being so generous?

“Gokju… That guy is not even from this association he is a hostage brought in by the Yeonmok Swordmaster of the political faction. However if the task of picking out the buds is ruined because of that guy the owner and the executives will probably take issue with it. “Maybe Hoeju was aiming for this.”

“…”

Hearing the senior warrior’s words Gokju Lee Ji-yeom let out a light breath.

Senior warrior Kwak Moon-gi.

He was like his own left arm.

Therefore I knew better than anyone else that Hoeju and the main castle were always fighting over every single thing and raising questions about the events of Sihyeolgok.

That is why I expressed this opinion.

“….That could be possible. It doesn’t matter either. Anyway it was Hoeju who sent that guy. “It would be difficult to hold me responsible for something that happened due to his whim.”

“Haona…..”

“We will proceed like this.”

“….I follow your orders.”

At the firm words of Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom the senior warrior Kwak Mun-gi eventually accepted the command without further questioning.

One lowered head and the eyes were looking in the direction of Mok Gyeong-un.

* * *

-What was your first experience of getting stabbed in the back?

Cheongnyeong’s voice rang in Mok Gyeong-un’s ears.

Why does the young man say this?

It was because of what happened last night.

Mok Kyung-un turned his head and looked at the eight people standing sobbing next to their group.

Among them the ones that stood out were Mo Yu-cheon and a boy with a fairly mature appearance and sharp squinted eyes.

‘That’s fun.’

Last night Mok Kyung-un tried to eliminate everyone except their group by breaking their legs.

If that were the case he would skip the third test and skip all other tests and go on to the last step.

But something changed early in the morning.

[A big problem happened.]

One of the five boys who had been sent as a group urgently came to see him and said

[Where did the rest go and did you come alone?]

[…That…..]

[What seems to have happened?]

[…sorry.]

The boy who thought Mok Kyung-un was going to reprimand him spoke very nervously.

Mok Gyeong-un shook his head and gently comforted him.

[Someone wants to eat it. Where are the others?]

[All were caught.]

[Caught…?]

[There was nothing I could do. I went to the last room but I didn’t know there were eight people hiding and ambushing me.]

[There were eight people in ambush…]

This was unexpected.

That meant that someone had noticed their plan and prepared for it.

In fact it was impossible for them to break legs one at a time and no one noticed.

On the way there were four people who seemed to have noticed this and came to attack them.

It looks like there was a wise guy who did that.

[Let’s go.]

Mok Gyeong-un joined Ma Seung who was possessed by the body of Jusalgok Yeom-ga who was finishing the upstairs and Mo Harang of the Mohwabang and headed to the room where his group members were said to have been captured.

In the hallway in front of the door two boys were standing guard.

They were surprised to see Mo Gyeong-un and opened the door.

Then four people came rushing out from inside.

One of them was that narrow-eyed guy named Mu Jang-yak and the other was none other than Mok Yu-cheon.

As soon as Mo Yu-cheon saw Mo Gyeong-un he cursed.

[Crazy bastard. Are you going to do something like this anymore?]

[Doing something like this?]

[It’s different from the previous gateways. All you have to do is select a team leader and cooperate with other team members to carry out a check-up but why is this happening…]

[Is it wrong to do something?]

[what?]

[In what way is it wrong?]

Mo Yu-cheon answered Mo Gyeong-un’s question with an expression of astonishment.

[I’m saying that now…..]

[It’s not like I broke the rule against killing but there will be cadets who fail at every gate anyway so is there a problem with bringing it a little earlier?]

[you!]

Mu Yu-cheon was left speechless by Mo Kyung-un’s words.

In fact the idea of ​​breaking everyone’s legs was absurd in itself but it would not be right to say that it was unconditionally wrong.

This was a competition in the first place.

-Wow!

Mo Yu-cheon said realizing that there was no point in considering logic in this way and that there was no way to explain it in words.

[okay. There is no point in arguing with you about something like this.]

With those words Mo Yu-cheon sent his eyes to Mu Jang-yak next to him.

Then Mu Mu-yak raised his one hand and opened his mouth.

[hi.]

[yes. hello.]

[Are you here to find the team members?]

[that’s right. If it is okay with you I would like you to send our team members here.]

Hearing Mo Kyung-yun’s words like this Mu Jing Yao shook his head and said with a grin.

[I’m sorry but I think that might be a bit difficult.]

[You just have to skip it but in what way is it difficult?]

[If I give you back the members you will try to break our members’ legs like you did in the other room. Is that possible?]

[You know very well.]

Mok Kyung-un also smiled and answered.

Each group member could not help but feel nervous at the sight of the two people laughing and having a conversation at a moment’s notice.

One advantage was the armed side.

Because they are holding hostage.

[Can you go back first? I don’t want to waste my strength by fighting your group needlessly.]

[Is that so?]

[huh. If you do that I will happily return the captured team members tomorrow morning.]

An unexpectedly smooth proposal.

In fact it may seem like a concession but for the armed forces this was the best offer.

This was because they were sure that Mok Gyeong-un would unconditionally target them the moment they returned the trillion won.

At that time Moharrang spoke in a whispering voice.

[It may be a shame that it has changed from the goal but I think it would be better to do it that way. This time the hilt of the sword is held over there.]

The number of healthy cadets is 16.

In the meantime if members of the team got hurt that side would have the advantage.

But they couldn’t do it easily either.

Because if the numbers are maintained there will be no fight. If Mokgyeongun’s team members are injured there will be a fight to make up for the remaining men.

‘You did a good job with your brain.’

They thought this was the best so they created it this way.

Mok Kyung-un said this.

[Well it’s okay to do that but isn’t there a case like this?]

[Number of cases?]

[yes. If I break my group member’s leg tomorrow morning and return it to him won’t we be eliminated without a doubt?]

[ah…]

Moharang sighed at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.

Now that I think about it it could have been so.

If they kept the hostages on the other side they could have stabbed them right before the decision was made.

At that time Mok Yucheon snorted and said.

[Do you think we are just like you? At least I don’t get stabbed in the back.]

[Of course you can say that as much as you want up front. However circumstances always force us to make rational choices.]

[Are you saying that breaking the agreement is a reasonable choice?]

[Because it is advantageous for them.]

Hearing Mok Gyeong-un’s words Mok Yu-cheon stuck out his tongue.

At least in this situation I thought they would follow their suggestions obediently but I had no idea that they would even mention a move that was not recommended at all.

Mo Yu-cheon glanced at the military officer next to him.

Armed Yak shrugged his shoulders once and then opened his mouth.

[I think such doubts are natural but you don’t have a choice anyway. Other than believing this.]

Mok Kyung-un said these words.

[I think that would be difficult.]

[If this proposal falls through they will be the ones who lose.]

Mok Kyung-un smiled and said those words.

[It can’t be. Since this is the case we only need to leave eight out of sixteen alive. Then won’t it work out as I originally planned?]

-Shudder!

The cadets who were listening to Mok Gyeong-un’s words were dumbfounded.

Who would have expected that in this situation he would give up on his team members and come out as just a matter of getting the numbers right?

Does that guy have no attachment to his group at all?

Mo Yu-cheon shouted in an angry voice.

[Do you have no camaraderie? Jo Won came in believing in you….]

-Sigh!

Mu Mu-yak held out his hand to Mok Yu-cheon and shook his head.

Then he turned his head towards Mok Gyeong-un and said:

[I thought about it but I didn’t know it would come out that way. When I heard from Yucheon I wondered if he would really go that far.]

It was Mu Jang-yak who heard from Mo Yu-cheon about what happened at the end of the second gate.

That’s why I thought it couldn’t be possible but it was just as I heard.

Mok Kyung-un said this to him.

[is it so? Then you know very well that what I am saying is not a lie.]

[That’s right. It was a good idea to prepare just in case.]

[yes?]

Did you do a good job of preparing for that emergency?

What does this mean?

I spoke to Mok Gyeong-un who looked puzzled.

[I didn’t think about the number of cases you mentioned earlier from the beginning but I was prepared for the possibility that you might come out.]

[Preparation….what did you do and how did you do it?]

In response to Mo Gyeong-un’s question Mu Jang-yak took something out of his wrist.

It was a thin needle about the size of a finger.

It was smaller than the gold engraving on the spiracle.

[…What is that?]

[The four captured members of your group and our group all had these stuck in the blood vessels on their waists.]

[….]

[After half a day with this cartilage needle inserted you will be limp for about ten days. In severe cases you may not be able to walk for 15 days.]

‘!?’

Hearing his words Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.

They put that needle not only into our team members but also into their own team members?

[….How can you believe that?]

Then Mu Jang-yak immediately told Mo Yu-cheon to take off his upper body and lie on his back.

Mo Yu-cheon took off his top.

As he took off his clothes he began to draw blood from the acupuncture points on Mo Yu-cheon’s back so that the armed medicine could not be seen.

-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!

And not long after that

-Poof!

Saliva came out from Mo Yu-cheon’s back.

He stuck out his tongue as if even Moharang was dumbfounded by the sight.

Who would have predicted that they would have prepared for such a situation by even inserting cartilage needles into their own members?

Mu Jingyak smiled narrowly at Mo Qingyun and said.

[So what are we going to do now? Even if I bring Mo Yu-cheon here with his needle removed if I don’t cooperate no one will be able to walk properly after half a day. Then you and everyone in your group will be eliminated.]

It was literally a preparedness plan for me to die and you to die.

Of course this preparedness plan was very effective.

Because both groups do not have eight people a situation arises in which everyone is eliminated.

‘….He has a truly extraordinary mind.’

Even Moharang was amazed by the exquisite moves.

It was a strategy that accurately read the uncertain direction of tree cultivation.

This time it was considered that there was no choice but to accept it even if it was only a case of wood farming.

Then Mok Gyeong-un twitched his lips and muttered.

[This is really fun.]

She frowned.

It’s like losing a battle of numbers with an armed drug but you think this situation is fun?

Mok Kyung-un said to Mu Jang-yak while he was puzzled.

[I’m worried.]

[Is there a need to worry? No matter how hard you try in this situation…]

[no. Would it be better to kill you now? Or I was wondering whether it would be better to keep him alive.]

‘!?’
