Absolute Regression

Episode 219: I don’t want to end up like this.

Dae-ho felt relieved as he watched Ji-saeng forcefully swallow the poison.

There was one more person in the same situation as him.

‘This is how you treat the subordinate of Yayulhan, the second-in-command of the Apostle League?’

It was truly a sight that was hard to believe.

Then naturally I become curious again. Who on earth are these people?

Geommugeuk said to Jisaeng.

“If you don’t take the herbal medicine every day, your five organs and six organs will melt and you will die. He will probably experience the greatest amount of pain that a human can experience. So, if you want to scream, scream.”

Geommugeuk relieved the evil blood of Jisaeng. Earth’s mouth, closed like a clam, could not be opened.

Ji-saeng was so surprised and embarrassed that it felt like his mind had gone blank. He too had the same thoughts as Daeho.

‘Who on earth are these people and me?’

The next moment, one thought crossed his mind.

‘oh! ‘Is this a test of loyalty?’

When I thought about it that way, it occurred to me that it might be so. He will torture you and test your loyalty by revealing his secrets.

But the next moment, his eyes turned to the four cold, dead subordinates.

‘You’re testing them even at the cost of sacrificing them?’

That couldn’t have been possible. Then why?

At that time, Geommugeuk approached me and held out an unexpected box.

“Open it.”

When Ji-saeng opened the box, it contained three bottles of top-quality Yamyeongju. This night wine was the night wine that Geommugeuk received in the past after rescuing Geumjangju, his daughter, and grandson.

Ji-saeng could not understand what kind of situation this was.

Just then Geommugeuk spoke.

“Bring it to me. To the real earthly life. “I know that your coachman is truly a jihadist.”

The fake Ji-saeng was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything.

“You were trying to kill us and take this, right? no?”

That said, I never imagined I would receive it like this.

“You can either just bring this to us as we ask, or you can give us this and reveal everything that happened. “The choice is yours.”

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

Why give yourself a choice?

“Know this and choose. The poison you consumed cannot be cured anywhere. “Only he has the power to cancel the contract.”

The Poison King was just sitting in his original seat, gently fanning himself. He didn’t even care about this matter.

“Oh, one more thing, if the truth is revealed, think about how your master will be treated. Would you take the risk of coming and negotiating with us to save you? “You would think that you should not only return these three night wines, but also give others.”

Ji-saeng’s expression was frozen the entire time he was listening to the story. He knows best. What choice will the real Jisaeng make?

“You either die by being loyal or you live by giving the night wine. I’m not asking you to kill him. “I’m just asking you to give me Yamyeongju.”

“Aren’t you trying to harm the old man?”

“Wouldn’t that be better for you? “The higher-ups will probably put you in that position in Jisaeng’s place.”

“!”

I’d be lying if I said I’ve never thought about this situation before. Is it because it is an opportunity that comes from the worst situation? Those words sounded even more tempting.

“You take turns worrying.”

Sword dance performance did not give him time.

‘You’re going to save me? Are you giving night wine to an elderly person? why?’

Now that he was embarrassed, his head wasn’t working properly.

As if Ji-saeng had been kicked out, he came out of the building and walked to the carriage in the yard. The real Jisaeng was sitting on the coach seat as always, looking up blankly at the night sky.

The fake Jisaeng got on the carriage.

“let’s go!”

The carriage set off. The real Jisaeng didn’t care that his direct subordinates, who usually followed him around, were out of sight. I thought I would stay behind and dispose of the body of the Iron Inspector.

The real sound of earthly life flew through me.

-What happened?

-It worked out well.

Jisaeng gave the box through a small window through the coach seat.

Jisaeng knows. A real person is never someone who loses their wealth to save themselves. Even if I worked under him for a hundred years, that would not change.

Jisaeng in the coachman opened the box containing Yamyeongju and smiled brightly. It felt like his eyes would be sucked into the night wine.

Even at this moment, the fake Jisaeng was worried.

‘What on earth are their intentions?’

You’re giving away night wine like this? why?

However, the moment it was said that it had been resolved, the matter became irreversible.

If the truth is revealed too late, you will be killed for thinking of betraying even for a moment.

The carriage, carrying the conflicting feelings of the two worlds, returned to their residence.

* * *

There is a moment when the Jisaeng returns from the coachman to the real Jisaeng.

It was like that when I met Yayulhan and it is like that right now.

A secret location located in the basement of the stable.

He had everything he had in a space of about ten pyeong.

There was a small chair in the middle of the room, and dozens of top-quality night wines were displayed in cabinets on all sides.

It was the fortune he had accumulated throughout his life.

Ji-saeng added three Yamyeongju to the collection. His hands were shaking. Having saved up this much money, he would have been indifferent by now, but he loved this moment.

Every time one night wine was added, he felt the joy of being alive. Nothing else has given me this much joy. Especially when he turned off the lamp and saw the night light shining in the dark, he screamed like a crazy person.

For this joy he lived a merciless life. Because I had to give money to Yayulhan, I had to become more cruel and cruel. Remorse? I don’t think I’ve ever had one. When someone talks about remorse, I first think about this. Who told you to live like an asshole like that? If you feel unfair, you can live like this too.

Today, as I was immersed in ecstatic joy, Ji-saeng felt a sign of presence from behind.

When he was startled and turned around as quickly as lightning, there was someone standing at the door. It was a fake life.

I was finally able to find out about the fake Jisaeng.

Why did they give Yamyeongju to the real Jisaeng? I was aiming for the moment to bring that night wine here. To find out where this secret warehouse is. How on earth did they find out that he was collecting night wine?

The real Jisaeng was so surprised.

This secret space under an old, shabby stable was a place that no one could guess. Who in the world would guess that treasure is hidden in a place like this?

Moreover, in order to enter this place, the door could only be opened by continuously operating the secret devices secretly installed throughout the stable.

Of course, Ji-saeng looked around several times before coming in. Obviously there was no one. I wouldn’t have been able to get that close with that fake Jisaeng’s skills. Unless you were a person with night vision as good as an animal, you wouldn’t have been able to tell what he was doing even if you had seen it.

‘shit! ‘Damn it!’

Nothing had happened for so long that I felt a sense of self-reproach that I had let my guard down without realizing it.

Anyway, one thing was certain.

betrayal!

If he had prepared for a long time to target his wealth, he might have been able to break into this secret place.

Instead of asking how you came here or why you came here.

Whoosh!

A dagger suddenly flew from Ji-saeng’s hand. He was an expert in secret martial arts. It was easier for him to act as a coachman because he did not have to carry a sword or sword.

The dagger aimed at the fake Jisaeng’s neck stopped in midair.

Someone had reached out from behind him and caught the flying dagger. He was a sword dancer.

The fake Jisaeng was filled with anger.

I gave my allegiance to him for over ten years. You’re trying to kill me without even asking a single question. At the very least, I should ask you why you betrayed me and kill me.

Geommugeuk appeared behind the fake Jisaeng, followed by Seo Dae-ryong and Dae-ho.

“These damn bastards!”

When Ji-saeng saw Dae-ho, he mistakenly thought that those who appeared were Iron Swordsmen. In this situation, I had no choice but to think that way. This fake Jisaeng and Prosecutor Cheol came together to steal his property.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Daggers flew from his hands again.

However, all of his swords, which boasted white hair and white hair, were caught in the hands of Geommugeuk.

Ji-saeng was astonished. It wasn’t an attack that something like the Iron Swordsman could block.

The sword dance did not give him a chance to strike his next attack. By delving into the Myeongwangbo, the demonic blood of the earth was subdued. In a flash, his body froze, and Ji-saeng was overcome with fear as he saw the sword dance standing before his eyes.

“It’s not the Iron Inspector!”

“Of course not. “How can something like the Iron Inspector deal with you?”

Sword Dancer passed by him and looked at the decoration cabinet in the back.

“You’ve collected a lot.”

“who are you? “Who are you?”

When Geommugeuk did not respond, a spark of anger flew out at the fake Jisaeng.

“You idiot! “You idiot!”

The fake Jisaeng also shouted back.

“I have been loyal like a dog to you for fifteen years! But you throw a dagger at me without asking why? You should have asked first. “Did you bring me here under threat? You… you bastard!”

The relationship that had always been so good was shattered in an instant. The dignity and leisure as an elderly person have disappeared.

“You shouldn’t be here!”

“Why not? It’s dirty wealth that was collected by stealing, deceiving, and killing. “Why can’t I come to this place?”

“Did I do that? “You did it all.”

“Say that!”

The two people raised the blood in their necks.

“You pathetic bastard. Do you think they will save you?”

“I will take your place.”

“Did you know that the original team would be so disheveled? There’s no way they’ll let you live, but even if you survive, the main team won’t let you live. Now that I’m dead, why bother leaving you behind to continue my work? All you have to do is clean it up and lay a new board. “Just like we make new fresh vegetables.”

The fake Jisaeng could not refute anything. It brought out the fear that he had buried deep in his heart, pretending not to notice.

“You end up getting eaten. “I was so careful not to end up like this.”

Now, in response to the lamentation of life, a sword dance has emerged.

“If you were really anxious, you should have reduced your greed instead of increasing your caution.”

The sword dance continued to blow earth winds. Now, even the fake Ji-saeng and Dae-ho have subdued the Demon Blood and Ah-hyeol. This meant that everyone should shut up and listen from now on.

“This is what will happen here today. You hired the Iron Inspector for Shin Seon-chae. But these guys betrayed me. “They were the ones aiming for your property in the first place.”

Geommugeuk looked at Jisaeng and Daeho alternately.

“Of course, there are differences in martial arts skills between you. But that problem can be solved with this.”

Geommugeuk opened a small bottle right in front of Jisaeng’s nose.

Ssssss.

The smoke from the bottle forced its way into Ji-saeng’s nose.

“You were struck by paralysis. know? It’s what you Safa people mainly use. It is also a poison that remains in the body when an autopsy is performed later. “You are addicted and you stumble and fall.”

The sword dance moved him as if the demon blood had been suppressed, like a doll.

“At this time, Daeho stabbed his sword in the back.”

Seo Dae-ryong also moved Dae-ho’s body. After putting the sword in Daeho’s hand, he moved his body. Daeho’s sword pierced Jisaeng’s back.

Ji-saeng made a painful expression, but he couldn’t even scream because his blood pressure was suppressed.

“You were poisoned and stabbed with a sword, but you won’t just suffer. “I fight back by throwing daggers.”

This time, Geommugeuk took out the dagger from Jisaeng’s arms and threw it.

The dagger hit directly into Daeho’s heart. He collapsed and died.

“You succeeded in killing Dae-ho, but the stab wound to his back was fatal. In the end, he falls down here and dies. Watching someone steal your life savings.”

In fact, Seo Dae-ryong started packing all the night wine there into the sack he had brought.

“Wouldn’t that be worse for you than dying?”

Ji-saeng’s two eyes were red and bloodshot. He tried to shake his head, telling me not to do that.

“Everyone was taken away by you like this.”

Although this will not resolve the resentment of many young people who suffered from Shinseonchae, we tried to inflict as much suffering as possible.

“They will send someone to kill you. In the end, it will be revealed that Hyungsu is the Iron Prosecutor. “There will be testimony from subordinates that they tried to hire them, and Dae-ho’s body will be left here.”

Ji-saeng seemed to have a lot to say, but the sword dance did not relieve his ahyeol.

“We will take what you have saved all your life. We will use it well instead of you! thank you!”

Ji-saeng’s whole body trembled. As he was dying, he was filled with only anger and resentment. Geommugeuk wanted him to die like that.

Now, Geommugeuk’s gaze turned towards the fake Jisaeng. He was looking at the sword dance with a look in his eyes that said he would never reveal what happened today.

His face was full of hope that he could survive and anticipation that he could become a real life.

But the sword dance shattered those expectations.

“But there is one problem with this plan. The point is that the Sado League will not think that Ji-saeng was harmed by the Iron Swordsman or something like that. So we need a plausible background. Knowing his identity, the mastermind could poison him with paralytic acid and find out about his secret warehouse. what do you think about it? “Who is my right-hand man who has been with me for fifteen years?”

Embarrassment and anger bloomed on the fake Jisaeng’s face. But the words that followed were even more despairing for him.

“Yes, that’s right. You will be the one who splatters with this night wine. And they will never find you.”

Sword Dancer’s fist hit his chest, and his insides were shattered by the blow, killing him. From the beginning, Geommugeuk had no intention of saving the man who had committed all kinds of evil deeds. He will be buried in a place where he will never be found.

The dying Jisaeng laughed while looking at the fake Jisaeng’s corpse with a look on his face. The sight of him laughing with blood bleeding from his mouth was grotesque. But he was never destined to die smiling.

At that time, Seo Dae-ryong, who was waiting after retrieving all the Night Pearls, sighed and said.

“Is this always the end of the right arm?”

“My right hand man is smart, so I don’t think he’ll get hit like this, right?”

“If you keep saying nice things like this, I won’t be able to quit being your dangerous right-hand man, right?”

“This is what happens to everyone who falls there.”

After joking like that, Seo Dae-ryong approached the dying Ji-saeng.

“But why do you keep looking over there? “Are you too busy dying?”

For a moment, Ji-saeng was taken aback. He spit out blood from his mouth.

“Is this really suspicious?”

If I had just seen it, I wouldn’t have thought much of it. But Ji-saeng looked at the wall with very regretful eyes. That figure happened to catch the eye of Seo Dae-ryong.

Geommugeuk and Seo Dae-ryong nodded to each other once and then started looking at the wall.

The moment something caught on the fingertips of Geommugeuk, who was slowly examining the wall, a light clanking sound was heard.

At that moment, Ji-saeng despaired as if the sky was falling. It was a greater despair than when Ya Myeong-ju was taken away.

His blood pressure was suppressed so he could not speak, but the shape of his mouth said this.

‘That’s not enough.’

Jiiiing.

The floor in front of the wall opened and something began to rise.
