Absolute Regression

Join us from the start of the 215th session.

Extreme Soma was sitting alone in the white room again today, staring at the wall.

After learning that the white wall was helpful to his martial arts training, the worry that he might go crazy disappeared.

These were my first words when I entered his room.

“Soma, let’s go fight.”

Soma’s eyes smiled brightly at the fact that I had obtained permission. It was a very evil soma who even used his immortal face to help me and met my father.

“great.”

Extreme Soma readily answered. Even though he knew that his opponent was Yayulhan, he was not afraid at all. He was just happy to go fight with me.

“We will deal with not only Yayulhan but also his subordinates.”

Extreme Soma’s eyes in the eye sockets of the mask laughed. The stronger the enemy, the happier he was. However, that did not mean that he was arrogant or did not accurately understand his opponent.

“Yayulhan is a strong man. “It may be a tougher fight than the ones we fought before.”

Extreme Soma was never let down. He is a person who knows the dangers of this situation better than anyone else. So I am even more grateful. Even though I knew this was happening, I came forward like that.

“The problem is that we have to kill them without leaving any evidence that we killed them.”

“Because scientists are smart, they will find a way.”

“Soma needs to help.”

“I’m only in charge of killing.”

Although the words were easy to speak, I felt the evil Soma’s gaze deepen. This is someone you can’t help but think deeply about. Extreme Soma spoke to me in a calm tone.

“When I fight, there are times when I forget who I am. That’s when it’s most dangerous. The scientist I have seen is a person who knows who he is better than anyone else. So I’m not worried.”

“I’m not worried because Soma-sama is here.”

We looked at each other and laughed. Treat each other with a good heart and be grateful for each other’s kindness.

I just want to joke around with him. I also want to make a joke.

But I persevered. Because mistakes happen just like this. Since he was close to me, I had to keep it, but the closer I was, the less I could keep it, so I treated him with deeper respect than before.

“By the way, another Mazon has joined in this matter.”

“Who are you?”

“By my father’s order, the King of Poison is going with me.”

Hearing the word “poison king,” Extreme Soma gave a slightly embarrassed look.

“I don’t have a personal relationship with that person.”

Who could there be? That was true for both the Poison King and the Extremely Evil Soma.

“In the process of accomplishing this task, I learned a little about the Poison King. “I thought he was a nice guy.”

Extreme Soma still looks annoying. Because liking me means liking me, and the relationship with the Mazons is something else.

Extreme Soma walked to the opposite wall and stood in front of the drawn line.

“The Poison King should be around here with that person.”

Extreme Soma pointed to the starting point of the line.

“Still, it’s on the line.”

Extreme Soma laughed at my words. It was decided anyway. He accepted the situation.

“Let’s hope the Poison King’s poison doesn’t accidentally kill us.”

I also can’t picture the two of them together. The combination of mazons is difficult to match. Which two go best together?

“When can you leave?”

“Any time is good for me.”

“Then let’s leave tomorrow morning.”

“great.”

As I was turning around to come out, I spoke to Extreme Soma.

“This happened thanks to Soma. Thank you again.”

“If we don’t come back alive, we will have to use the word responsibility instead of thanks. “Please say hello after work.”

After speaking, Soma looked at the wall again.

I stared at the white wall together for a moment, then said goodbye and left the room.

As I was walking out of the evil song, the eyes of the masked people I met contained greater goodwill than before. There were some people who bowed and said hello, saying they liked it earlier. Its popularity increased even more after it was performed in the main performance hall. Anyway, they liked doing strange things more.

After leaving Akingok, I went straight to Cheondogrim.

The Dog King was in the midst of packing his bags. I came to tell them that they were leaving tomorrow morning, but they were busy taking care of everything, probably because they had already expected it.

“How did you know? “We are leaving tomorrow morning.”

“This is the opportunity we got after all that chaos, so of course we’ll be leaving right away.”

“As expected, you are smart.”

“Would you have fallen into this crisis if you were smart?”

For him, the crisis is not dealing with Yayulhan. Exiting Cheondoglim is a risk.

The Poison King carried poison in a bag that he could carry on his shoulder. What’s in your pocket, what’s in your can, what’s in your bottle. I took all the various poisons.

“Is it necessary to take this much poison?”

Basically, the poison in the Poison King’s body alone would be enough to kill a huge number of warriors. However, the Poison King packed a lot of spare poison.

“I know what’s coming.”

Aside from not wanting to go even if I had to die, my preparations were thorough. It was his personality. If you didn’t have this thorough personality, you wouldn’t be able to create so many poisons and remedies.

The Poison King wore a thin jangsam to hide the poison pouch on his waist. There were several pockets on the inside of the jangsam, where poison was also stored.

“I’m going to carry a leather bag. If you take it with you, I will carry it too.”

“Is there anything that can destroy the Apostolic Alliance? done.”

“It still seems like that.”

He pretended not to hear and took another item. This time, he wore a leather belt with more than twenty poison-laced daggers stuck into it.

“Do you also throw daggers?”

“I will throw better than you.”

It may not be possible, but I was surprised that the Poison King used a dagger.

In addition, the poison king also took out a fan.

It was called Muganseon (無間扇) and was mainly used for reading as a weapon of the King of Dogs. It is not difficult to kill everyone by spraying poison. It’s difficult to kill just one person with poison in a room with dozens of people.

You will have to be careful when the poisonous king gently shakes the wireless vessel. Because I didn’t know where the wind that would lead me to hell would head.

Later, the next King of Dog evaluated his master, the current King of Dog, as follows.

He is said to be the best solo attack expert in 300 years.

“I tell you in advance, I will not kill Yayulhan. I’m just following along. “I’m just going to watch!”

“Why are you taking so much poison with you just to look around?”

“I do it so that I can enjoy the sights with peace of mind.”

This is his personality. It’s thorough and this anxiety.

“how long will it take?”

“I do not know. “We try to process it as quickly as possible, but we don’t know what will happen when we get there.”

“Let’s deal with it as quickly as possible and come back. know?”

“It will be faster if you help me.”

“I don’t know anything else, but I need to take care of that Jindoggeosa guy.”

The Poison King seemed annoyed about this incident.

“If you want to sell medicine, make it properly and then sell it. This is why we get criticized. “That’s why the cult leader hates me.”

“But the Poison King must not leave behind any traces of his use of poison.”

“Is there any reason to leave the body for display?”

This meant that even the corpse would be melted without a trace.

In any case, if the King of Poison takes care of Jindokgeosa, I won’t have to reveal that I am an enemy of poison.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

I left him behind while he was busy taking care of the poison he had missed and went out to Cheondokrim.

Sang-seon said as he took me out of Cheondogrim.

“Please take good care of the Poison King.”

I know very well how much Sang-seon worries and cares for King Dok. It’s been a while since I left school, so I’m even more worried.

“I think it’s a favor I have to ask the Poison King, but yes. “I will take good care of you.”

“Today is the last guide. “Please come alone from now on.”

He always guided me down different and confusing paths, but today he took me along the most convenient and best path.

After leaving Cheondogmun, the place I stopped by was Uibang.

I was finally able to say this to Ma.

“I’m leaving tomorrow to kill Yayulhan.”

Shocked, Ma Yi stood in a daze and then staggered. I unleashed my inner power and wrapped around his body. I sat him down and brought him water.

Ma Yi asked with a trembling voice.

“How did you know it was him?”

He asked me to kill one person, but he hasn’t told me his name yet.

I didn’t say anything. Soon, Ma Yi said, ‘Ah!’ He let out an exclamation. I had asked my father for this in the past and was turned down, so I thought I would have heard about it from my father.

“Did the religious leader give permission?”

“yes. Six mazons helped me with this task. “The reason I went to the Poison King this time was to get permission for that.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I wanted to tell you with your permission.”

Ma Yi’s face filled with passion.

“I have lived only for this day.”

His life was lived by treating patients as if they were abusing him, dreaming of revenge due to the agony of losing his family before his eyes and surviving alone. I would never have been able to sleep comfortably in my entire life. Even if you eat delicious food, you probably don’t think it’s delicious.

I’ve never had children, but I couldn’t even imagine how big and deep the sadness and resentment I would feel if I saw my child murdered right in front of my eyes.

“You can kill him and come back and tell me the result, but the reason I tell you when I leave is because I know how important this is to you. That’s why I’m telling you from the beginning. It starts now. “I ask you to participate from the beginning.”

Ma-ui will be trembled, nervous, and worried until the day I return. You won’t be able to sleep. Still, I think it’s for his benefit to let him know.

Ma Yi remembered a day that she desperately wanted to forget, but could never.

“It was when I was young. While I was treating a critically ill patient, Yayulhan came in. He told me to immediately treat the person he brought in. I said no. If treatment is stopped now, this person will die. Even when a knife was held to my throat, I maintained my beliefs as a member of the National Assembly. And that day, I saved both lives. “I saved the person I was treating, and I also saved the person he brought in.”

“But why?”

“He said he never spared anyone who disobeyed his orders. That’s his own principle. I will definitely keep it in the future. Since I saved the life of his subordinate, he will spare my life. Instead…”

Tears flowed from Ma Yi’s eyes.

“I regret it. I should just do whatever he tells me to do. I regret it dozens or hundreds of times a day. If I could go back to that day… I would follow his words. “Even if the patient I was treating dies, I will follow his advice.”

I didn’t say anything. Because I know that no words can comfort him.

He took me to his bedroom in the dressing room. The room was so narrow and shabby that it was hard to believe it was the doctor’s room. One hard bed. It was a room with only a small desk and a chair. The few books and an old lamp on the desk seemed to show his life.

There was a secret door in that room. I opened the small door hidden in the wall and went inside.

In the hidden space, Ma Yi’s old house was recreated exactly as it was.

The place where his wife cooked, where his son played, and where the family of three slept.

He was still there that day. I couldn’t leave that place even for a single moment.

“My little son always wanted to play with me. Because my dad was busy all the time. Because my dad had to save the patient. My dad had to go buy some herbs. I put it off again and again. Still, my son didn’t hate me. That young guy said that to me. If you’re not busy, you’ll play with me, right? right? Are you doing this for us? I still can’t forget the way you looked at me that day. At times like that, my wife said, Don’t push yourself too hard. Take care of your health first. “What kind of lawmaker am I when I can’t even save my children and my wife?”

In the end, the tears he had been holding back flowed from Ma Yi’s eyes. He tried hard to hold back his tears, but the more he tried, the more tears flowed. It was the first time I saw Demon’s tears.

I went over and hugged Ma Yi. I hugged him tightly and patted his skinny back. He closed his eyes tightly and cried quietly. It wasn’t a hug for a scholar. It was me, who had lived for a long time before returning, hugging my younger brother who was living this difficult and lonely life. Ma-ui, stop struggling now. I’ll finish it.

After a while, Ma Yi calmed down.

His and my gaze became intertwined in the air. On the one hand, he had a relieved face. Because it was a pain that I had kept to myself for so long.

“…I feel sorry for you. “For making me do that dangerous thing to get my revenge.”

I told him firmly.

“I will definitely kill you and come back.”

Today will be the last time I see his tear-filled face.

“He must have even forgotten I exist.”

That fact will make him even more maddening.

“Let me remind you.”

I’m a person who doesn’t try to attach any meaning to the death of a villain, but this time is an exception.

“So I will tell you in the dying man’s ear that this death is the devil’s answer to your poor principles.”
