Episode 287 I took over the guesthouse.
There was a main street at the end of the downtown area.
As we crossed the main street as if we were passing through a gateway, a downtown area, no different from the one we had passed through, unfolded again.
I looked at the downtown area with some surprise.
“hmm.”
So, it was a normal scene, just like when we first arrived. There were still a lot of people, and there were many stall vendors openly preparing fish and ordinary customers eating rice or snacks.
The confident and natural appearance of the people, as if they had nothing to do with Sado First People, seemed both funny and amazing.
Someone shouted as they ran.
“A lot of people died on the West Waterway! The powerful masters have come to kill the first apostle! It looks like the rumored Hao Wenju has arrived!”
I roughly muttered those words.
“right. “I have arrived.”
As we entered the downtown area, the merchants at the stalls sometimes avoided our gaze, and those who were eating turned their heads to stare.
At this time, an old man selling tea utensils at the entrance looked at us and said.
“…How could it be that just four people came to kill the number one apostle? “I have been doing business here for a long time, but this is the first time that so few people invaded.”
The merchant next to me said with a surprised expression.
“Don’t interfere with the old man.”
The old man looked at us with a stubborn expression.
“If they are scary people, do they even kill people who run a business? “That won’t happen.”
I was about to pass by because I felt like I would beat the old man to death if I talked to him, but the Geomma stopped and glared at the old man.
I looked at the Sword Demon and the old man.
“….”
I couldn’t help but stare because it would be crossing a line if the Sword Demon kills the old man who runs a business here.
However, as I passed by it, I felt a little uncomfortable.
The color demon stopped the sword demon.
“Master, just go. “He is an old man with not a single ounce of skill.”
The Sword Demon said while looking around.
“okay? “How can an old man with no experience recognize us?”
Only then did the demon look at the old man.
“Yes, of course.”
Now everyone was looking at us.
They were all people who had blended into everyday life, so it was impossible to tell which one was a member of the First Apostle and which one was an ordinary resident of Dongho.
The old man said with a shameless expression.
“…Dongho regained its own peace thanks to the First Apostle. There was no peace like this twenty years ago. At that time, the Black Island from outside and the original enemy forces were fighting every other day, killing and killing people, so the process of removing the bodies was repeated every day. “The first apostle managed to organize things and change the atmosphere. If he dies, are you going to take responsibility for this vast club?”
Was he influenced by the old man’s courage? Suddenly, various scolding words poured out from all directions.
“How can Lord Hao Wen take responsibility for this?”
“Isn’t he acting like that because of Black Incense or something?”
“It’s Heukhyang’s fault. Isn’t it Sadojeil’s fault? There are so many subordinates, how can you control them all? “Is that going to cause such a fuss?”
“Lord Moon, the reputation of Sado First is not bad here. If it’s bad, how can it reign for so long? “The First Apostle has never been caught.”
A lot of subtle criticism and angry words poured out on us.
It was strange that they beat him to death because he was just talking at the level of an argument and not asking for a fight.
The owner of the dumpling restaurant told me.
“Doesn’t the Black Path also belong to Haomun? Master Moon, if any of your subordinates cause an accident, will you take full responsibility for it? “That way, it’s fair.”
Someone whispered softly.
“Why are you asking such a thing? “I just came here to fight.”
Sometimes I could only hear someone’s voice inside the room.
“I heard there is even Master Gwangmyeong of the Demonic Cult among the group, right? Well, I’ve left the Demonic Church now.”
I looked at the expression of the sword demon, the demon demon, and laughed again.
“They’re funny. “They talk a lot while hiding.”
I waved both hands and cheered on those who were making noise.
“Talk more. I will listen to everything. I’m used to criticism. There is nothing as unbearable as unreasonable words, but it seems you have decided to attack us with words anyway, so talk more. “Please listen.”
I found people here and there who were trying hard to hide their lives.
“If you want to fight with words, let’s do it. Instead, if I see intent to attack, I’ll lay you down next to the smelly fish like the ones that died in the West Waterway. Is the First Apostle the king of this place? “What do you mean, without him, public order will collapse, life will become difficult, black people will spread, and chaos will break out again?”
“….”
“Heukhyang was not his mistake. That’s because they charged me with financial damages there. How can that be a mistake? I guess you read everything I posted. Who would have thought that a man who beat a trader to death, kidnapped a child who lost her father and mother, named her a mixed race girl, and sold it for money would be treated like this. It’s like a sick world. These guys with incredibly thick faces are making a living in the name of making a living. These shameless bastards, scum worse than slaves… They will lick the toes of the idiot who calls them Dongho Jeil Sword until they die. As soon as your children are born, the first thing they will have to do is lick Dongho Jeilgeom’s toes. You’ll get to know the taste of that damn toe before your mother’s milk. “Isn’t that right?”
Wow… I never thought it would be this quiet.
The guy who had been cutting off the fish head with a kitchen knife earlier suddenly threw the knife at me.
It was quite a fast pace.
I had no intention of touching the kitchen knife, so I nodded and avoided it. As the kitchen knife unluckily grazed the face of the merchant at the opposite stall and became lodged in something like a pillar, a scream erupted.
I looked at the man who threw the kitchen knife.
“Cut off the head of the fish. Why do you put poison on a kitchen knife? uh?”
I slightly pulled out my sword to kill the fishmonger and then put it back.
Seeing that it wasn’t running away, it seemed like it had a specific mission. For example, someone would make a surprise attack just as I was attacking the fishmonger… As
I sheathed my sword, the old man started talking again.
“Look. Hao Wenju To be honest, there are also the followers of the First Apostle here. There are some who are not subordinates. But we have something in common.”
“what?”
“None of you have ever seen the First Apostle. It definitely exists, but we’ve never seen it. Do you think that if we kill everyone here, the First Apostle will appear? That can’t be possible. He wasn’t that kind of person to begin with. Some people may know, but there is no guarantee that that person is the best apostle. “It is highly likely that he is an agent.”
I ended up squatting down in front of the old man who had set up a stall.
“This old man speaks too well for a stall vendor.”
The old man said while glaring at me.
“They say Hao Wen Ju is the Wen Lord who protects workers. Is this the essence of Munju? “It’s no different from the black sword.”
I pulled out a wooden sword from a sitting position and cut off the old man’s head, wiping the blood on the floor.
Soon, his head fell to the floor with a thud.
As I looked around at the tea utensils on the stall with my sword, a black liquid poured out of a small kettle, completely melting everything on the stall and emitting a foul odor. Somehow it felt similar to Hwagolsan Mountain I saw last time.
I raised the handle of the kettle containing Hwagolsan with the tip of my sword, then struck it with the side of the sword and threw it at the fish seller. The fishmonger grabbed what looked like a cutting board and lifted it up, blocking Hwagolsan Mountain.
Cheeeeeek!
In the meantime, the demon pulled out his sword and swung it, and the cutting board split in half, and the fish seller’s body was also split in half. Perhaps because it was split in half, it died without even being able to scream. As the blood-spewing corpse lay spread out on the floor, the surroundings became quiet again.
I told people around me.
“…Everyone, I am here. Do I look like some kind of idiotic philanthropist who only did good deeds? If the number one apostle doesn’t show up, I’ll kill all of his subordinates, so you don’t have to worry too much. If you still want to act like a normal merchant, go for it. I’ll save you. Oh, I just can’t stand this damn bastard. Then, do whatever you want, whether you step forward courageously or make a sneaky surprise attack. “I will kill you.”
I raised my right hand and asked around.
“Is there anyone else who will flutter his mouth like the old man who died trying to pour Hwagolsan Mountain on his face? It’s nice to see that there are a lot of people here who are good at talking quietly. I’m thinking of tearing your mouth open. “Don’t you have anything to say?”
The middle-aged man who was steaming dumplings answered.
“Master Moon, do you know how many downtown areas there are like this? Even if he gets out alive, Hao Wenjue’s notoriety will shake the world. “Can you handle it?”
I answered the dumpling restaurant owner.
“The owner’s bullshit goes to the Murim Alliance and goes away. How much are those dumplings? Are they meat dumplings? Do you have vegetable dumplings? Don’t put some fucking poison in the dumplings, just make the dumplings delicious. Why is the owner of a dumpling restaurant worried about my notoriety? “You damn bastard.”
I walked up holding the sword and looked into the owner’s eyes.
“How much for ten dumplings?”
“….”
The man pretending to be the owner looked at me with a mesmerized expression.
Was it a response to living? Even though I didn’t even swing my sword, the owner grabbed the lid of the pot in front of him. I simultaneously cut off the owner’s body diagonally along with the unusually thick pot lid.
From where the lid of the pot was cracked, blood was seen pouring all over the owner’s body.
“I was so embarrassed… I just looked at these bastards.”
I looked at the people filling the downtown area.
There were already people here and there waiting for us to arrive. I thought that perhaps these guys were mixing in and threatening ordinary people as well.
“There’s definitely something great about it. I admit it. “You can’t even kill innocent people.”
As the number of people who opened their mouths and died increased, everyone’s complexion looked bad.
I joined the Four Great Villains again and walked down the road.
Here and there, people hurriedly moved out of the way left and right and made their way. But the stinging gaze looking at us still remained. Everyone was cursing us with their eyes.
At this time, a man was pushed by someone and ran three or four steps toward us, screaming.
“Why push! Not me! I pushed. From behind!”
The man raised his hands and looked at us with an expression as if he had fainted.
I asked the man.
“Not you?”
“Yes, no. “I am not a subordinate.”
“Turn around.”
“yes?”
“Turn around.”
As soon as the man turned around, I approached him and asked him in his ear.
“Then who is the servant of the First Apostle? Point it out. We’ll kill you. Please point out at least one person accurately. Then I will spare you.”
I grabbed the man’s shoulder and lightly injected him with an ice ball. It was both a threat and a test to see how much resistance there was to the ice attack.
The man suddenly started shaking all over and looked around, but I didn’t plan on giving him much time.
“If you don’t point it out, you’ll freeze to death. Because I’m just unlucky. “There are times in life when you are unlucky.”
The man said, pointing to a Botjim merchant wearing a Bangrip mask.
“That guy pushed me. on purpose.”
Before the words “intentionally” were even finished, the demon moved quickly and shouted at the Botjim merchant.
Pow!
The color horse that had exchanged tension suddenly returned to its original position. The Botjim merchant held out his hand, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper, and then he stiffened.
I spoke to the man holding me down.
“saw? That’s what happens when you’re unlucky. Look at that surprised expression. Point it out. “We are stronger anyway.”
The man slowly raised his trembling hand again. But before we could point out anyone again, about a dozen people rushed towards us.
I smiled and looked at the scene.
“It’s terrible.”
Three or four people were immediately blown away by the dual swords of the colored demon, and when the demon demon swung his sword, the arms of those who were running with weapons raised were blown away. In an instant, the screams overlapped.
I asked the man holding me down.
“But how much do ten dumplings cost here?”
“Two iron coins.”
I grabbed the man’s head, turned it toward me, and made eye contact.
“Wrong. What happened?”
As soon as I saw the man’s confused expression, I slapped him on the cheek and knocked him out.
“9 times out of 10, this looks like a subordinate who is the best apostle, right? many.”
I went to the front again and spoke to those who were blocking.
“Get out of the way. You idiots. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”
I punched the guy nearby in the face and then moved on.
“Even though they said they would do it one-on-one, they came and died, damn it. Get out of the way, you bastard. “I guess I have to go around the neighborhood to show up.”
The demon is on the rear left and the color demon is on the rear right.
The Sword Demon followed from behind.
I stood in the vanguard position and advanced as if breaking through a busy street.
Now I can finally have some emotional exchange with them. They must have developed the mindset that if they attack us, they will surely die.
I advised those who were paving the way.
“First, report it. I couldn’t help it. I think you need to step forward yourself, you idiot boss. Why are you hiding like a rat? Speak courageously. You say you are the best apostle, but why do you act like an asshole? There are only four enemies. 개새끼야. Is there anyone who would have the courage to speak so forthrightly? Oh, of course not. “I don’t have any expectations because the subordinates of this idiot will be even more idiotic.”
Sighs mixed with strange emotions followed here and there.
I turned around and spoke to the Four Major Evils.
“Oh, I don’t know. “I’m hungry, so let’s go somewhere and eat.”
The color demon responded.
“What if poison comes out?”
“Then it’s better. I need to take over the store. Since it is a serious and serious situation, we need to use silver needles and tell the owner to feed them one by one, and then we can eat. Or, I’ll personally roll you a bowl of noodles in the kitchen.”
The Sword Demon looked at me.
“Restrain yourself. “I have already heard rumors about you from Master Jang.”
The devil helped from the side.
“I almost vomited while eating.”
I looked at the color demon.
“Don’t make it up.”
The demon spoke to me with a uglier face than usual.
“We heard it together. “I heard that’s why the guesthouse went bankrupt.”
I ignored the three people’s words and went into the guest room. When I appeared, the people who were eating got up at the same time and ran outside. I was so embarrassed that I told the guests.
“…Hey, you bastards, you should pay the bills and then go. no?”
I looked around the inside of the guesthouse.
“I guess not.”
I sat down in the empty seat and looked at the four major evildoers coming in.
“Wow, the number one apostle has so many subordinates. “You came in wrong.”
Suddenly, I looked up at the ceiling and saw people moving, making a rumbling sound, and jumping from this floor. One guy must have sprained his foot while jumping and ran away making a noise.
I spoke to the three people sitting with calm expressions.
“The guest house has been taken over. Once again, I respect the manager.”
“why?”
“You broke through your five senses without even eating.”
I could have been wrong about what I knew, but the three people nodded, probably because they were all ignorant.
“That’s amazing.”
