Episode 362. Are you a cult leader?
A man in his left hand was eating a large bowl filled with miscellaneous vegetables and meat, eagerly scooping it up with chopsticks. The owner of the butcher shop, a man named Joo Gwal, was dismantling the meat of a pig he had slaughtered, roasting some of it, and eating it.
Jugwal ate his meal in a hurry.
If my throat felt clogged, I would drink to overcome it, and when my throat felt more comfortable, I would swallow rice and meat again. There was quite a lot of it, but it was disappearing quickly. When about half of the rice in the large bowl was left, a man in black clothes came in quickly and said.
“State Formation.”
Jugwal answered while chewing his rice.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Yeompyeong was found with his head cut off.”
Jugwal put down his chopsticks and answered.
“Who did it?”
“First of all, Yeompyeong is not the only one who died. They say there was a body in the middle of the road, but the upper body was missing. Looking at the diary, it seems to be Jeongsam.”
The chief looked at the reporter.
“Jeongsam? “No upper body?”
“Yes there was a lot of chopped up debris on the floor. It looks completely destroyed. It looked like it had been washed away by the heavy rain and only the lower half of the body was left. And on Yeompyeong’s head, his ears were cut straight off.”
Jugwal looked at the meat placed on top of the stew he had made.
“…What do people around me say? Those who watched, those who were witnesses, those who hid and peeped.”
“Gu Noya sold bamboo and green silk to a strange man, and he had so much money that he didn’t carry an iron coin, and the atmosphere was scary. “He was wearing a red long sword, and it looks like Yeompyeong and Jeongsam chased him into an alley and attacked him right away.”
Jugwal asked while washing his face.
“This is the first time I’ve seen an expert carrying a red long sword. “Any other information?”
“It seems like an old man who lives next to the alley was peeking out of his house and asked how many of you there were.”
“you guys? “Are you talking about us?”
“yes. What should I do? “Once the news has been delivered, everyone is gathering.”
Jugwal asked.
“Is it tension that caused the upper body to fly?”
“I don’t know about that. Can you do that with tension?”
“I can’t do it.”
Jugwal stood up, picked up the butcher knife lying on the table, and stabbed it into his waist.
“What direction?”
“I moved from Nasan-ro to Jukpyeong-ro.”
As Joogwal stepped forward, the reporter followed and spoke.
“I will gather everything and follow you.”
After Joo Gwal stopped, he spoke.
“no. “I’ll go alone.”
“yes?”
Jugwal said while looking at the man.
“The expert who uses the red long sword is not from here. Not Daeheungbang or Samwonbang. I’m a master from outside. “It looks like it was accidentally caught while moving, so I’ll chase after it and find it, then decide what to do.”
“yes.”
“If I don’t return by noon tomorrow, you take charge of the store.”
“Be careful of formation.”
Jugwal waved his hand and left the butcher shop.
* * *
Two hours later.
Joo Gwal entered the three-dimensional room with the door half open. The entire area from the entrance to the main hall was full of corpses.
“….”
Bangpa usually didn’t get along well, but seeing them slaughtered like this made me feel strange. There were even quite a few familiar faces. At this time, someone’s voice was heard in the main hall.
“…Are you Hao Wen?”
Jugwal looked at the main hall and asked.
“Haomun? “He is the head of Nasanbang.”
Jugwal was thinking of running away like this, but he couldn’t move because he was curious about what was inside the main hall. Moreover, it seemed like a person with this level of skill would be caught up with him soon even if he ran away from here.
As I walked over, stepping on the dripping blood, and pushed the door of the main hall, the smell of blood mixed with the wind stung my nose.
Jugwal looked at the man sitting in the main hall.
He was showing his back with his top off, and there was blood all over his body. For some reason, blood was even dripping from his hair.
“….”
There was a devastation on the floor that had never been seen before, even in a butcher shop. The bodies were in pieces, and there was a strange smell, as if something had been burned. Jugwal realized that this too was the smell of blood.
As expected, there was a red long sword on the table.
Master Gwangmyeong turned his head and said to Ju Gwal.
“…Everyone said it wasn’t Hao Wen. Does not matter.”
For the first time in his life, Ju Gwal looked scared of people. Even his face was covered in blood, and it was my first time seeing someone with red eyes.
Jugwal asked.
“Is it magic?”
Master Gwangmyeong nodded.
“You see…what about you?”
Jugwal answered as he pulled out the butcher knife from his waist.
“It is a black road.”
Gwangmyeong Usa laughed.
“I see. “He’s not Hao Wen, so he’s a subordinate of the Lord of Heaven?”
Joogwal answered as he walked to the table.
“no.”
I asked Gwangmyeongwoosa, the head of the table, who was confronting me with the table in the center.
“Why did you… kill everyone like this? Because of martial arts?”
Master Gwangmyeong nodded.
“It’s also because of martial arts.”
“Another reason is?”
Gwangmyeongwoosa sniffed his nose and then spoke.
“Why are you giving off such a foul smell? “It smells like pig cow dung and garbage mixed together.”
Jugwal answered.
“okay? I’m more disgusted by the smell of your blood. Another reason is?”
Gwangmyeongwoosa answered with a shocked expression.
“Because of Hao Wenju.”
“Hao Wenju? Did you lose to that guy? “Why are you taking your anger out on us?”
“We do to those who know martial arts what you do to those who do not know martial arts. That’s the difference. What are you talking about? Hao Wenzhou is not yet my opponent. By the way, it’s quite…”
Gwangmyeongwusa stretched out his hand and pointed Jugwal up and down.
“He is a man with a pulpit. “I’ll tell you how to live.”
“What is it?”
“If you want to become a religious leader, I won’t kill you.”
Jugwal asked back.
“correctional? “What kind of prisoner?”
Master Gwangmyeong said, pointing to the blood that filled the floor.
“Look. “It is a blood religion.”
“Blood religion?”
“okay.”
Jugwal asked.
“Are you the cult leader?”
When Gwangmyeongwusa nodded, Jugyeol answered.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve already joined the pig poop-smelling cult. I can’t stand any more disgust than this. “I refuse.”
Gwangmyeongwoosa suddenly moved his shoulders and laughed.
“What a ridiculous friend. Since you refused, I will later send guards to kill everyone in Nasanbang one by one. “It is an answer to rejection.”
“What a piece of trash…”
Gwangmyeongwoosa took a deep breath and stood up.
“Now that you’ve laughed for so long, I’ll spare you. “I think my friends will come, so I guess I’ll have to leave again.”
The moment Gwangmyeongwusa turned around, Jugwal swung his butcher knife. When Gwangmyeongwusa swung the jwajang, the jugwal bounced from the tension and flew through the main hall wall.
Master Gwangmyeong looked at the open wall and shook his head.
“Anyway, those Black Island bastards…”
Gwangmyeong Usa walked while dripping with blood, looked around and said to the corpses.
“It is time for independence. I’m tired of hearing orders to do this and that. This is enough to hold out for a long time. Even though I advised you to kill them in advance, it is enough to assume that you died because of the demonic cult leader who only insisted on capturing them alive. “Does everyone understand why he died?”
The blood cult leader looked around at the bright red blood, but of course there was no body that could respond.
“….”
* * *
Slap!
“….”
Jugwal barely opened his eyes at the sound of the snap. It was painful, as if my whole body had been broken, but my cheeks also felt tingly.
A man kneeling on one knee was looking at him. While trying to remember who the hell it was, the man muttered.
“Look at this. “You’re alive.”
Someone nearby answered.
“Are you hitting a fainted person that hard in the face?”
As soon as Ju Gwan came to his senses, he spoke to the man in front of him.
“who is this?”
Jugwal looked around. I couldn’t even remember why I was suddenly lying here. I managed to get up, sit down with my back to the wall, and assess the situation.
“Yeompyeong and Jangsan died, and while chasing them, Daeheungbang and Samwonbang were killed… Did you see the man with the red long sword?”
As Jugwal muttered incoherently, the young man answered.
“Have you seen Gwangmyeong Woosa?”
“Gwangmyeong Woosa? “I heard he’s the leader of a blood cult.”
“Blood cult leader?”
Only then did Jugwal take a close look at the face and eyes of the man in front of him.
‘This guy seems crazy too…’ As
soon as I woke up from fainting, I thought I could die again. I prided myself on living prepared to die at any time, but when I felt like I had actually died and woke up, I realized that my past thoughts were arrogance. The man in front of me seemed to be younger than me, but I asked questions cautiously.
“Who are you?…”
the man answered.
“I am a man named Hao Wen-ju. I’m chasing after Gwangmyeong Woosa. “Did you see it?”
“I saw it.”
“Looking at the state of the body and blood, it seems like it’s been over an hour since they left. “If you know something that might be helpful, let me know.”
“But why do you speak informally…”
“It’s a habit. “Let’s move on.”
“I get it. I thought I was out of my mind. He told me to join a blood cult. Before that, he killed my two younger brothers. Ah, now that I think about it, they committed this massacre because of martial arts. And they said it was because of Hao Wen Ju.”
“because of me?”
Joo Gwal nodded.
“Because of you.”
Hao Wen-ju asked back.
“Is it my fault?”
Joo Gwal nodded.
“It’s your fault.”
As soon as Zhou Gwan answered, Hao Wen-Ju slapped him on the cheek.
slam!
Joo Gwal couldn’t help but hold his cheek. Hao Wen-ju said while glaring at Zhou Guan.
“Why is it my fault? 개새끼야. Gwangmyeong Woosa is crazy. Is it my fault? “Try telling me one more time.”
Joo Gwan held his cheek and then answered.
“Let’s pretend it’s not.”
“No, right?”
Jugwal looked at the new man who appeared from the gaping wall. The cult leader also looked scary, but the atmosphere of the man who appeared through the hole was also very different.
“Third, let’s go.”
Hao Wenzhu stood up and looked down at Zhou Guan.
“Are the people who died here colleagues?”
“That’s not it.”
“then.”
“It’s a competition break-up….”
“I heard your brothers are dead.”
“He died before he came here, so I followed him.”
“Right.”
Hao Wenzhou nodded once and said:
“Well, I’ll get revenge anyway. I’m chasing you. I can’t quite grasp it. Goes.”
“Hey, Hao Wen Ju.”
Hao Wen-ju, who was going out through the opening, answered.
“why.”
“He was absolutely crazy and told me to be careful. “He looked like he was out of his mind.”
Hao Wenzhou soon disappeared and only his voice was heard.
“So do i.”
Zhou Guan remembered something, got up quickly, went out to the main hall, and chased after Hao Wenju. I thought there were two people, but four people were leaving the three-way room.
Jugwal asked.
“Is there anything I can do to help Hao Wenju? “I have to take revenge too.”
Hao Wenzhou stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhou Guan.
“Please contact Lord Jecheon. If this continues, all of the Black Islands here will be exterminated. Gwangmyeong Woosa is currently touring Heukdo Island. “It will be like this wherever you go.”
“We don’t have a kite?”
Hao Wenzhou looked at Zhou Guan.
“Contact me even if you don’t have a relationship. How can a man who is said to be the best in the dark island turn a blind eye to a massacre like this? “Then tell them that Hao Wen-ju said, ‘You should first put down the title of number one.’”
Joo Gwal nodded.
“I’ll pass it on to you as is.”
“Either it or not. Anyway, the opponent is Gwangmyeong Woosa.”
Hao Wenzhou asked as he moved with the three again.
“Eldest brother.”
“why.”
“If the Lord of Jecheon fights with the love of Woo, who will win?”
“How would I know? “I don’t know because I’ve never been involved.”
“I’ve been stuck before.”
“Who do you think will win?”
“umbrella. But Lord Jecheon is not a man who will fight alone. “It’s like a group of wolves.”
Strangely enough, Joo Gwal was curious about the conversation between the four people, so he openly eavesdropped and followed them to the door and stuck out his ear. This time the young man let out an uncharacteristic sound.
“…Do you know who would win if a tiger and a bear fight?”
“Who will win?”
“The bigger guy wins. You stupid bastard. case by case.”
The man who hadn’t said a word until now sighed as if he felt pathetic.
“It’s so childish that I can’t even listen to it. “Is this really a conversation between grown men?”
Then Hao Wenzhou chuckled to himself and laughed.
Jugwal felt a strange feeling and shouted at the four people.
“Hey you guys. “What are you?”
The young man next to Hao Wen-ju answered with his back exposed.
“We are the four major evildoers.”
Joo Gwal nodded and answered.
“Wow, that’s childish.”
“But is that black-faced bastard hell-bent on dying?”
When the young man turned around, I was able to see his face. An unlucky guy like his gisaeng brother was frowning.
Zhou Gwal waved his hand.
“…Anyway, I will inform the Lord of Jecheon. Take a look. “The four major evildoers.”
As Joogwal watched with his arms crossed, a heavy voice came out.
“Disciple.”
“yes.”
“Let’s not go out and say out loud that we are one of the four major evildoers. It is true that it is childish.”
“That’s what the third one often says.”
“If you say it, it somehow sounds more childish.”
“All right.”
As Hao Wenzhou and the man in the center burst out laughing at the same time, the gisaeng-like guy sighed.
Joo Gwal laughed without realizing it, but then realized that now was not the time to laugh, so he returned to his expression with a straight face.
As soon as Hao Wen-ju made up his mind to contact Lord Jecheon as he said, he walked towards somewhere.
