Absolute Regression

Episode 222 Why do I feel bad when I see you?

The basement was decorated like a prison.

Each prisoner was locked in solitary confinement one by one. Since Geommugeuk was next to the Poison King, he was assigned a room across from him.

“Those who cause trouble will have seen what happens.”

After scaring them like that, the warriors left.

The good news was that the iron door had a palm-sized window through which we could look into the room, so we could see each other’s faces and have a conversation.

“Damn it! “I got out of prison, but I’m stuck in prison again!”

“It’s a dirtier place than where we were.”

“I have heard the guards talking about it. “They take out prisoners and send them to a place where secret experiments are conducted.”

“shit! If this continues, you will die!”

“We have to get out somehow!”

Each of the prisoners said something and cursed.

Geommugeuk sent a message to the King of Poison, who showed his face at the window across from him.

-Have you ever been locked in prison?

-does not exist.

-sorry. For putting you through this hardship.

-Okay. When else would you experience something like this? I don’t care.

The Poison King really said it as if it was no big deal. In some ways, he seems like a person who would really hate going through something like this, but looking at that calm face right now, it seems like he would be able to go through something like this better than any other Mazon.

-I saw earlier that the third-rate poisoner’s reading skills were quite good.

For the first time, I praised Jindogeosa. Perhaps there was something only the poison king could see.

-After all, aren’t you the best solo attack expert in Sapa?

-That makes me even more angry. If you had that kind of skill, you should have made a proper medicine.

After about an hour or so, the meal was served.

It came out very well, like a dinner before death.

Everyone began to eat food hungrily. I was intentionally starving on the way here, and even though I was full, the food was so good that I would use chopsticks. The reason for providing such delicious food was simple.

-Food contains light.

-Are you already feeding the wide range?

-Not only the wide range of drugs, but also all kinds of drugs were added.

-Seeing as it started as soon as it arrived, it looks like Yayulhan or Aecha gave the order to proceed quickly.

This could be seen just by looking at the prisoners who came from 21 miles away and were brought here in 10 days.

-On the contrary, it worked out well for us. You can get out of this stuffy place as soon as possible.

-If you take the medicine I gave you in advance, the light will be instantly detoxified.

-yes.

Of course, even if you didn’t eat, you couldn’t have poisoned yourself in the first place. Even the intangible poison didn’t work, so there was no way these miscellaneous medicines would work.

As if they had been raised, they only ate the food provided there.

Those who used to complain before the first meal now quietly waited for the next meal. The excellent food and alcohol that can only be found in high-end guesthouses were served, so they, who had only eaten trash in prison, ate and drank with delight.

-You definitely have a plan, right?

-Didn’t you say you would leave everything to me?

-It’s because he looks so carefree. Do you mean martial arts training here?

Whenever I had free time, I sat cross-legged in the middle of the prison and practiced the Heavenly Demon Defense technique.

It was rare to have the opportunity to be undisturbed for an entire day like this. Since I had not yet achieved greatness in the Heavenly Demon Defense Technique, I concentrated on practicing it when I had the opportunity.

The Poison King seemed curious about me.

-What martial arts are you practicing?

I honestly couldn’t tell you that I learned the Cheonma Self-Defense Technique.

-I am currently training in the law.

-Why are you practicing so hard?

-I think that only by becoming strong can you become free.

-Aren’t you still strong enough?

-Because I’m not at the level where I can enjoy the freedom I want.

-What is the freedom you want?

After a moment, I spoke to him.

-This is a life where I can stop where I want to be.

Perhaps because it was an unexpected answer, the Poison King did not say anything for a moment. Although it sounds like something anyone can do, I knew very well that no one can do it easily.

-The path you are taking is… a path where you cannot stop walking as you wish.

-So I’m trying. I try to stop and look up at the sky when I want to.

There are close people who share life and death and ups and downs, but that’s why we don’t tie each other up. That was the freedom that sword dance drama wanted.

The Poison King stared at the sword dance in silence.

This time, Geommugeuk asked.

-Do you have a dream, Poison King?

What kind of dream is the Poison King having now?

-What are your dreams at this age?

The Poison King seemed to not want to answer, so he disappeared from the small window.

‘Poison King, you wouldn’t know if you hadn’t met me. Since we’ve already met, I won’t let you live your previous fate.’

So, the sword dance engraved the word Sokjon on the gloves.

To keep his dreams from becoming dark aspirations. Think about the true independence of children in a bright place.

Geommugeuk sat down and began practicing the Cheonma Defense technique.

“Eat!”

Seo Dae-ryong entered Extreme Evil Soma’s room. There were several neat dishes on the tray in his hand. There were some things I bought and some I cooked myself.

Have you ever been this nervous since you were born? I wouldn’t have been this nervous even when I was in the finals of Soryong.

“Thank you.”

It was a low but gentle word. The favor for sword dance continued to Seo Dae-ryong.

“If you need anything, please let me know!”

Seo Dae-ryong lowered his head so that his waist was folded.

At that time, Extreme Soma spoke.

“There is no need to show such excessive courtesy. “You too will become a mazon someday.”

Seo Dae-ryong’s heart started pounding again when he heard the word “mazon.” Can he really become a Mazon on the same level as this terrifying Extreme Evil Soma? Could it really be so?

Seo Dae-ryong was just about to leave, but he couldn’t control his emotions that were welling up in his eyes and started speaking.

“I don’t know if I’m worthy of that.”

At that moment, his reason cried out.

Hey what are you doing? Shut that mouth!

My head was hurriedly dry, but words were already pouring out of my mouth that was wrapped in my heart.

“I accidentally became Master’s disciple, but I’m not sure if it’s really because of my abilities or because of Gakju. I wonder if this is the right fate or if I will die with my crotch torn if I mess around like this. Right now, I feel like I’m just being pushed along. Can I become Mazon? Can I become Soma-sama?”

After finishing speaking, Seo Dae-ryong felt like he was flying into the air. What have I done now?

‘ah! You end up having an accident. Why leave so many people in the world behind and lament their fate to the evil Soma? Can you become Soma? Is it a challenge?’

Seo Dae-ryong urgently bowed down.

“sorry. “I must have suddenly lost my mind.”

As he turned around, Extreme Soma spoke.

“Gongja Lee cared for you a lot.”

Seo Dae-ryong, startled for a moment, looked back at him.

The two eyes inside the Extreme Evil Soma’s eye sockets were staring at him.

“Yeah, I know!”

After speaking, Seo Dae-ryong was disappointed.

‘I can’t believe I knew! What do you know? ‘Thank you for telling me. I should have said this.’

I was so nervous that I was speechless.

“That’s not it, what I said a moment ago was…”

Then Extreme Soma spoke.

“I know.”

It sounded as if I knew how you were feeling right now.

I met the eyes of Extreme Soma. Those eyes were smiling. It was the moment when Seo Dae-ryong saw Soma’s smile for the first time. I was afraid when I saw those smiling eyes.

“There were a lot of mistakes today. I’m really sorry.”

Extreme Soma spoke calmly.

“If there are no mistakes in front of me, isn’t that really a mistake?”

Seo Dae-ryong left the room and sighed. I had no idea what had just happened. You must have said hello and left, right? It literally felt like I was dreaming. I can’t believe I’m having such a long conversation alone with the most terrifying evil soma in the world! I was thrilled yet scared.

‘Mr. Footnote! Please come back soon! ‘Accident your precious right arm like this!’

When three days had passed since I was locked in prison.

One of the prisoners showed symptoms.

“Aaaahhh!”

I screamed and pounded on the door, but it didn’t break because it was an ordinary iron door. His face was visible through a small window. He was bleeding from his eyes and nose. He lost his temper and went crazy.

The prisoners did not know that the reason they had been dragged in was because of the violence, so they thought they were just unable to bear the frustration and were going crazy.

“You crazy guy! stop!”

“shut up! “Do you want to die?”

But he went even crazier.

The poison king saw this and became angry.

-A third-rate poisoner sold these drugs for money, right?

Immediately, Jindoggeosa came and watched the man going crazy through a small window, as if the nobleman couldn’t do anything. A man ran up and stuck his face through the window. The man’s flesh was exploding.

Boom! Boom!

I hit the iron door with my head.

The sight of blood dripping from the eyes, nose, and forehead was horrifying, but Jindogeosa’s eyes were cold as he looked at the sight.

In the end, the prisoner hit his head on the wall and collapsed, dying instantly.

The subordinates who followed skillfully carried out the body as if this was not something they had experienced once or twice.

Jindokgeosa also looked around other prisons. We checked the conditions of the prisoners one by one.

He looked at the room where the sword dance was held. Geommugeuk was sitting against the wall with his head down. No special prayers were revealed.

After the sword dance, he looked into the Poison King’s room.

The Poison King was sitting in the middle of the room and glanced towards the window.

The moment our eyes met, Jin Dok-geosa felt different from the other prisoners.

‘Are you laughing at me?’

It may not be possible, but I didn’t like the look in his eyes.

The King of Poison lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and Jindogeosa looked around the next room.

After looking at all the rooms, Jindogeosa turned around and looked into the King’s room one more time. This time, the Poison King sat back and was lost in blank thoughts.

After watching the scene for a while, Jindogeosa left the place with his subordinates, and immediately Geommugeuk sent a message to the King of Dok.

-How did it go?

-What are you asking? Of course it’s a success.

-also! You are amazing.

In this brief meeting, the King of Poison gave a harsh message to Jindogeosa. This is because when an autopsy was later conducted at the Sapostolic Association, it would have been discovered that he was addicted to alcohol. It was one of the main reasons we infiltrated here.

-Get addicted while facing Sapa’s best solo attack expert! Who would dare to succeed in martial arts? You are truly alone!

-I read only a small amount so as not to show any signs yet. You should increase the amount little by little.

The King of Poison spoke humbly, but his expression said, ‘That’s about it.’

I felt the desire to show off more, so I added praise to the sword dance.

-That also means the person outside the prison. When I get back, I will brag to everyone! I will tell my father about this wonderful sight. The Poison King’s poison technique was a work of art, father!

-Why even to the religious leader?

When I told my father, the King of Poison looked embarrassed but also secretly looking forward to it.

Was that why? The Dog King was more confident and confident.

-Every time he comes down, I’m going to poison him little by little.

Jindokgeosa may have thought he was conducting an experiment, but the subject of the experiment was himself.

* * *

As the second and third victims occurred in succession, the prisoners realized that something had gotten into their food.

Only then did the prisoners stop eating.

Then Jindoggeosa appeared again. He said as he slowly walked down the prison’s corridors.

“I heard there are people who don’t eat rice?”

There were all kinds of curses saying that if he came down, they would tear him to death, but no one dared come forward now. This is because the sight of the bloodstream dissolving into blood was so shocking that it was engraved in my mind.

“If you leave food behind, you will die from my poison. Even if you beg me to kill you, I will never show you mercy.”

He whipped me mercilessly and also threw a rotten carrot at me.

“If you survive here, I will not send you back to prison but will just let you go. “One or two people might survive.”

No one believed that.

But it was definitely an effective statement. In the despair of people dying one by one, this rotten carrot will eventually become the only consolation.

At that time, Jindokgeosa stopped in front of the poison king’s prison. He looked inside through the small door and spoke to his subordinate.

“Open the door here.”

The subordinate opened the iron door of the poison king’s prison.

“come out.”

The Poison King walked out of prison. It was an unexpected situation that neither the sword dance nor the poison king could have imagined.

Jindogeosa looked at the King of Dogs and said.

“Why do I feel so bad when I see you?”

He is also an absolute master of Sado. It seems that he sensed some ominous fate from his meeting with the Poison King.

Jindokgeosa lifted the poison king’s chin up unpleasantly with his finger.

“Strangely, I don’t like the look in your eyes.”

Even at this moment, the Poison King did not look scared at all.

Poison King, make a scared face! Even if you send a message, there is no way you can make an expression that you haven’t made in your life. And that too in a situation where my mood had already gotten worse.

Jindokgeosa slowly raised his hand to give him a slap on the cheek. The Poison King’s lips twitched. Don’t do it if you don’t want to get hurt. A moment that makes you think these words will come out!

Geommugeuk shouted through the small window.

“It’s because you two look alike.”

The King of Dogs and the Master Jindok simultaneously looked towards the sword dance. One person spoke verbally and the other person spoke with an extreme expression.

“What? We look alike?”
