Absolute Regression

Are you ready to borrow money for the 200th installment?

Fresh vegetables.

It is a word that originated as the opposite concept of Yeomwangchae (閻王債), which is a vicious usury. It was called Sinseonchae because it was money given by a Sinseon, money lent without interest.

Of course, I know because a major incident related to Shin Seon-chae occurred before his return. And the moment I heard that name, I thought to myself. They have been moving since then. It was a long time later that the Shin Seon-chae incident was revealed to the world.

Gowol explained about fresh vegetables.

“A new word that has emerged these days means lending money without paying interest. “It is a word that is mainly spread secretly among young martial artists.”

Fresh vegetables.

It was also a word that announced the beginning of an evil deed that would make even the devil shake his head.

“When I first heard in Gwiju that young warriors were lending money without charging interest, I thought it was a good will from a rich man. But later, I heard it in Chongqing and also in Hubei. Oh, of course, I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t worked with information. “It’s spreading quite secretly.”

And Gowol’s suspicions started right here.

“Who on earth lends money without charging interest? And that’s especially true for young warriors?”

Gowol already seemed to sense that there was something to this incident.

“It turned out that a mysterious organization called Hyeopgye (協契) was lending the money.”

It is a name with the meaning of helping together, but their actual name, which was later revealed, is Dark World.

“There was something decidedly strange.”

“Something?”

“They say there is no repayment date on the IOU.”

“No interest and no repayment date? Then, the person who borrowed it would have less sense of responsibility and would not think about repaying it?”

“you’re right. So, there are people who borrow again without paying back.”

It was a tactic to keep the other person borrowing more money. They may all be young and smart, but they still lacked the experience to handle the meanness of the deliberately designed Sorijangdo (笑裏藏刀).

“They must have been mistaken. “The fact that there is no repayment date does not mean that you can postpone it forever, but that you can come at any time and ask to repay the principal.”

What if they suddenly come to you and ask you to hand over your accumulated loans and repay the entire principal at once?

If you refuse to pay, face confiscation will begin from then on. Depending on the target’s inclination or personality, they will use force or threaten to kill their family. You can appeal to your conscience or appease it with good words. In the meantime, all of my weaknesses had been investigated, and I had borrowed as much money as I could without paying interest, so there was no justification in the world.

“Money completely controls a person’s life. In the first place, it is unlikely that the loan was made with the intention of recovering the money. They will use that money to do other things. “The moment you do something bad even once under the condition of having your money forgiven, you become their slave for the rest of your life.”

Gowol gave a look of admiration.

There is no need to be so admirable. It’s not that I figured it out because I’m smart, it’s because it actually happened. You’re amazing for catching this conspiracy without missing it.

The black bastards commit numerous evil acts by taking advantage of young people who are indebted to them. As a result, many innocent people lose their lives. There were many young people who committed suicide because they could not bear the pain.

The fact that there was a dark world behind all of this was revealed only after a long time had passed. Their vicious atrocities as they thoroughly manipulated people with money.

When dealing with people who use flame wangchae, you can at least be careful in the first place. These people approached with smiling faces and sucked out the young people’s marrow.

Afterwards, when they were cornered into martial arts, the leaders, including the leader of the Black World, had made a huge amount of money and disappeared into hiding. In the end, I couldn’t even catch it.

“I want to see how much money this is and how successful it is.”

I could understand Gowol’s intention. The idea was to deal with these villains and recover the money now that they are suffering from financial difficulties. He must have felt sorry for me since he was the one spending money to create the organization.

“I don’t have enough money. Should I get some help from the freshmen?”

When I willingly agreed, Gowol’s expression brightened.

“Can we activate the intelligence organization?”

“This organization is your organization, not mine. “You can make your own decisions, move first, report, and do it later.”

I gave him full authority and unlimited trust in his work.

Gowol bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.

“Try demonstrating your skills.”

“yes!”

It was Gowol’s first time moving against an external enemy.

Afterwards, Gowol will make his own plans. All I have to do is swing my fist at the board Gowol made. Isn’t being able to feel at ease like this the privilege of a leader with capable soldiers?

After finishing the conversation and returning to the room, there was silence. Gwonma and Pungcheon Gyoju were drinking tea in silence. This breathtaking awkwardness.

“What were you talking about?”

The leader of Pungcheon Church answered my question.

“I said please take good care of our scientist.”

“Are you swearing behind my back?”

“Wouldn’t you be able to continue cursing only if you continue to win?”

“That is correct.”

The leader of Pungcheon seemed to be feeling much better. I looked at Gowol at his bright appearance. Gowol also looked like he didn’t know why.

The reason was revealed that night.

I was in the space-time illusion created by the Pungcheon cult leader. Let’s talk for a moment, and he showed off his space-time anomaly technique. It was such a beautiful and cool sight in the fields under the blue sky.

“Master!”

“You mean Master?”

“Have you forgotten? “Didn’t we decide to take the leader as our teacher here?”

The person who taught me the art of space-time transformation was the leader of Pungcheon. So, I had a conversation before that I would make him my teacher at least in this area.

“ah! “It was like that.”

Instead of being happy, the leader of Pungcheon lamented.

“Why are you doing that?”

He said with a sigh.

“It’s you, so I’ll be honest with you. I was really happy when Gwonma told me he was your master. It’s not that I’m happy that the two of you became close friends, but I also feel like Gwonma has been betrayed by you. “I was depressed because I felt like I was the only one robbed by you.”

The only person who could really say something like this so openly would be the leader of the Pungcheon Church.

“But now that I think about it, I’m also your teacher, right? “It wasn’t Gwonma who got robbed first, it was me.”

I ended up laughing at his self-blame.

“Are you laughing at me?”

“Are you laughing at me? “You are my teacher.”

“Okay, laugh as much as you want.”

“Master.”

“Why but?”

After staring at him for a moment, I spoke with sincerity.

“Thank you.”

“what?”

“Thank you for being by my side. “Thank you for being next to Gowol.”

“Why is this happening all of a sudden? “I have no money!”

Why is this happening? This is something I always try to keep in my relationships with people these days. Something as important as looking at a person directly.

speaking.

Don’t save it, let’s talk about it. When something comes to mind, don’t delay and say it. I’m putting that into practice right now.

“thank you so much.”

As I expressed my sincere gratitude one more time, the Pungcheon leader’s eyes deepened.

“I’m fine, so I don’t have to take care of it like this.”

“No, I will take care of it. I am human too, so I will make mistakes. Please continue to criticize me if I am negligent. Don’t treat me like that cult leader then! Don’t treat it like a fish you caught! Please keep swearing.”

The wind blew and the hems of our clothes fluttered.

The head of Pungcheon asked, looking at the grass lying down all at once in surrender to the wind.

“Gowol said take care of me, right?”

“yes.”

“Why do young people take such care of older people? “It hurts my pride.”

“The soldier said that. I still dream of the time when I was shackled. It seems like it’s really not easy for someone to escape from the past. “I think the same goes for the leader.”

“I will take care of it myself. Look here, scientist. Take care of your soldiers, not me. “You’re having a hard time these days.”

“Can’t you take care of it yourself?”

Then, the head of Pungcheon suddenly revealed his true feelings.

“This was Gowol’s favorite place. I really liked the fields and sky here. But after becoming a soldier, I became reluctant to bring him here.”

“Why is that so?”

After a moment, the leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke.

“I’m afraid. I’m afraid he’ll think this when he comes here. “At that time, I was so oppressed that I missed this fake world, right?”

I understood the concerns of the Pungcheon religious leader. Yes, the past is something that cannot be shaken off, even if it is funny.

“Bring the soldier here.”

“Bring it to me?”

“Just because you don’t come doesn’t mean the memories here will disappear. “Would you have forgotten about this place if that smart man didn’t come here?”

“!”

“Rather, if you want to forget, you will have to forget it here.”

Hehehe.

Was it because it reflected the thoughts of the Pungcheon religious leader? A stronger wind blew.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

Even after I left, the leader of Pungcheon did not come out of the time-space illusion for a long time.

* * *

The next day, Pungcheon Bridge was still in the time-space illusion. With other people in the same place. Gowol was standing where the sword dance was.

“It’s been a while here, hasn’t it?”

Gowol nodded with a sullen expression at the words of the Pungcheon religious leader. The leader of the Pungcheon Church asked while observing Gowol’s thoughts.

“what’s the matter?”

“Why? Coming here reminds me of the old days. “You don’t have any good memories, do you?”

When I heard those words from Gowol, the Pungcheon religious leader’s heart ached.

“Why did you bring me here? You still wear my invisible shackles! “Are you trying to say this?”

The leader of Pungcheon was taken aback by Go Wol’s cold reaction.

“no. It’s just been a while since I…”

“Let me out.”

“okay.”

The leader of Pungcheon, who was trying to solve the space-time anomaly, became angry. When I thought about it, I was angry.

“hey! Why are you so upset and angry? Are our old memories nothing? How many times did you apologize for what you did wrong? Is it really necessary to react so sharply? “I just want to be with you…”

The Pungcheon leader was speechless as he spoke. What on earth are you going to do with him? Because you want to reminisce? Because Geommugeuk told you to do that? Or is it because you want to hear from Gowol’s mouth that it’s okay now? shit! This is a place that should not have been opened.

It was then. Go Yue’s soft speaking voice was heard.

“It’s the leader. “You were worried that I might act like I did before, right?”

The surprised Pungcheon leader raised his head. Gowol, who had been angry a moment ago, had disappeared and he was back to his usual self. The Pungcheon religious leader knew. That Gowol acted on purpose.

“How can you see me and worry like that? “Can you not know someone after seeing them for so long?”

“Honestly, the more I look, the more I don’t know. “You don’t know and I don’t know.”

Gowol looked around and said.

“I wanted to come here. I have never been happier than when I was here. I’m currently wandering around the midfield, but I liked it better when I was standing here with the leader. So, I was waiting to see when the leader would ask me to come here.”

Then the leader of Pungcheon screamed loudly.

“What kind of crazy talk are you talking about? Cancel that statement immediately! Do you like this world better? Are you crazy? Here, just… forget it! Forget it! What if this crappy place, which was just a pore in that painful life, is better? Is that all you have in your life right now? What kind of intelligence organization are you if you are so unhappy? “Knock it all out, including science and engineering!”

Gowol was filled with passionate passion as he looked at the passionate gaze of the Pungcheon religious leader. What more could you want in your life to have someone like this?

“Aaaah! good night!”

Gowol started running around the field like in the old days. Then he lay down in the field.

“Good.”

“What’s good?”

“Now I feel like that damn religious leader. “Are you a little angry today?”

“It’s okay. “The anger that had been resolved built up again.”

However, contrary to his words, the expression on the face of the Pungcheon Church Master was more relaxed than before entering the space-time transformation technique.

Gowol, who was lying down, got up.

“Leader, let’s go out. “I’m busy.”

“Later. Rest a little more. Forget about that. “Forget about science and engineering.”

Then Gowol’s eyes turned to the sky again.

“It’s definitely better. The sky is better here.”

At least at this moment, the feelings were the same, but the leader of Pungcheon spoke differently.

“I will never open it again. Watch it to your heart’s content and roll around.”

* * *

While Gowol was making decisions regarding cooperation, I was practicing martial arts with Gwonma.

This time was really precious. We finally began to share martial arts with boxing techniques.

Byeokryeok Sura Fist vs. Byeokryeok Sura Fist.

The horse now began to teach me with his body.

Now that he has officially become a master, it is impossible for him to just fight. Instead, he was able to do as many fights as he wanted with the Byeokryeok Sura fist.

Even if I won later, I wouldn’t have to worry too much since I would be able to beat him with his martial arts skills.

And a few days later.

Gowol showed results faster than expected. It was successful in bridging the line with the cooperative side.

“Are you ready to borrow money from the gods?”

I smiled broadly at Gowol. I was planning to return to them exactly what they did to the youth. I will root out every single one of them who are evil.

“Shall we go somewhere and see how much money our immortals have?”
