Absolute Regression

Episode 300 Forget everything about the world today.

Have you ever experienced something like this in your life?

Right next to him is the Demonic Cult’s Minor Leader, behind him is the Demonic Cult’s Jidanju, and behind him is the Demonic Cult’s elite, the Demonic Swordsman, and then the Jidan Demons.

Have you ever walked with them?

It felt like Jooyang was dreaming. I was somewhat proud of myself and felt good.

Then I suddenly became scared. Even if you pick just one of them, there will be an uproar among ordinary warriors.

When a scary thought occurred to him, Zhou Yang glanced at the sword dance that was walking with him. He was the same both when he first came to borrow money and now when he was revealed to be the head of a small church. He wasn’t condescending or scary. How can a person do that?

But I didn’t dare to talk to him.

I liked it when we could talk comfortably. I liked it when sword dance was a debt collector.

As I was thinking these nonsense thoughts, I arrived at the Manor of the Red Army before I knew it.

Zhou Yang lowered her voice and spoke privately.

“I will open the door.”

Before the words were even finished.

Boom!

When the Demon Swordmaster came forward and broke down the door, the Demons rushed in.

I was startled when knifemen came out from all directions. The Demon Swordsmen unleashed their magical energy and revealed who they were.

“If you don’t want to die, everyone should leave.”

That was when the knifemen looked at each other and hesitated.

The Demon Swordmaster who had warned them swung his sword. A ray of sword energy passed between the swordsmen and cut down the stone tower erected in front of the flower garden behind.

One stone tower saved everyone. As they rushed towards the entrance, the demons kicked them all out. They ran away holding their heads.

The demons of the Demon Sword Corps had no hesitation. As I broke down the second door and entered, memorization poured down from the rooftops everywhere.

The demons in front lightly swung their swords and struck down the sword.

“From now on, if you throw one more memorization, you will die.”

Those who threw memorization on the roof froze. Only then did they confirm that the opponents were demons.

“You guys, you have to see who it is and throw it.”

The sword dance passed by saying a word, followed by the demons. Those who threw the memorization ran away in the opposite direction.

Zhou Yang, who was watching, was taken aback by this unfamiliar sight.

I knew demons were scary people, but I never thought they would be like this. I was so scared every time I passed by this place. The fortress of enemy defeat was the promenade of the demons.

Beyond the next door, about a dozen warriors blocked the way.

They were the ones the enemy boasted about as masters of joint techniques. I remember saying that the only money spent on the moon was a few hundred nyang, and I couldn’t tell if it was a lament or a boast. It was a loss that he used lavishly to protect his life with the money he saved through hard work.

As they confronted them with their swords, the Demon Swordsman stomped out.

“Shall I show you what real Hapgong is?”

There was no need to scare people by arranging a medical check-up. They were gathered together and scattered in all directions. Looking at that, Zhou Yang shook his head.

‘Why on earth did you spend hundreds of nyang per month?’

Of course I understand. What would the fear be like when the Demonic Swordsman pushes in as an intruder?

It seemed like they were randomly pushing and scaring people, but the demons were orderly. It seemed like they were just walking, but they carefully looked around and formed a formation, with one person moving and another person taking their place. Their formation and response were different depending on the terrain and opponent. It was a skillful move made through long training.

The three men at the last gate were experts who seemed to have paid thousands of nyang, not hundreds of nyang.

“We are the three ghosts of Gangseo. Who dares!”

At that moment, the eldest of the three ghosts recognized Jidanju Hogyeong.

“Why you?”

Ho-kyung then pretended to hiss at him and shook his head with an expression that said now was not the time for you to go out. That sight alone was warning enough.

“Thank you for sending it to me.”

It was a situation where they couldn’t deal with even if there were not three ghosts, but a hundred ghosts. Thanking them for saving his life, the three ghosts also left.

That’s how they arrived deep inside the inner circle without shedding a single drop of blood.

The last door was open and the enemy was waiting in the yard.

He bowed with his face as calm as possible.

“Meeting precious people.”

The reason the enemy did not run away was because they misunderstood the current situation.

They thought that the real demons had arrived after defeating the person pretending to be a demon. Since Joo-yang came with me, I had no choice but to think so.

“If you had given me a message in advance, this mistake wouldn’t have happened. My subordinates have committed a great offense. sorry.”

Jeokpae carefully inspected the visitors. I confirmed that Jidanju Hogyeong had arrived. It was also confirmed that the Demon Sword Master was not visible.

Last time I asked Jungak to handle this matter, it seemed like he would use Jidanju. As expected, it looks like Jidanju was used in today’s work.

‘I keep all the money myself!’

Jeokpae was a little puzzled by the current situation. From what he understood, Ho-kyung was not a bribe-taker. Why did I come here?

The red flag glanced at Zhou Yang. In my mind, I sent you to die with me.

‘You’re a tough guy. ‘Okay, just do your job and die.’

Jeokpae asked with his eyes. What kind of situation is this now? What would Zhou Yang say? I just turned my head and avoided his gaze.

At that time, Geommugeuk handed out a coin to the enemy.

“Now take it.”

“What is this?”

“This is it.”

At that moment, Jeokpae’s heart sank. An ominous feeling arose as the two coins lying on top of the Sioux’s corpse came to mind.

“I told you to take it.”

The moment the enemy inadvertently accepted it.

Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Boom!

My hand sank to the floor because of the heavy coins.

“Aaaah!”

He screamed, but no one came to save him.

“There’s one more left. “Take this too.”

Jeokpae looked up at Geommugeuk with a painful expression.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Why? “You borrow money, so you have to pay interest.”

“You don’t have to take it.”

“I heard there is also Abang Palace? “Can’t you keep it by paying interest?”

“Forgive me! “Please save me!”

But just because he didn’t want to receive it didn’t mean he couldn’t receive it. The other hand was opened by an invisible force.

Whoa!

Boom!

Eventually, the other hand was crushed as well.

The sight of him lying down with his palms up looked like he was bowing to the sky. Because he had lived his entire life without knowing pain, he made a fuss about being in pain.

Jooyang could tell.

The reason he accepted the coin instead of killing the enemy right away was to show it to himself. That each person’s story contained in the interest you will receive in the future is this heavy.

Jooyang lowered his head with an expression of understanding.

Then, Geommugeuk gave a light blow.

Pow!

Jeokpae’s head was broken and he died. It was the moment when his life, which he lived only for money, came to an end, destroying the lives of countless people. Although he made a lot of money, it was also a lonely death with nothing left.

The sword dance performance brought in all the subordinates from the power station.

After stopping them all, he introduced Zhou Yang.

“From now on, the owner of the power station is Jooyang here. Anyone who is dissatisfied should leave immediately. “I will send you back alive.”

Among those gathered, some who were not on good terms with Zhou Yang left. People who wanted to quit this job but thought this was their chance also left together. The person who leaves like that leaves.

Geommugeuk gave a firm warning to those who remained.

“From now on, please follow the new leader’s words carefully.”

“yes!”

Just like that, the owner of the power station changed overnight.

Ho-kyung was secretly impressed by the unstoppable sword dance moves. These things were not possible simply because of high martial arts skills. It was a move that only a person who clearly knew what he was doing and what he should do next could do.

“Now, let’s all have a drink together today.”

It was a nice and enjoyable day at Hogyeongdo. But he couldn’t hide his worries.

“The core of our school’s Gangseo branch is here today. Shouldn’t we send back at least some of our troops?”

“Are you worried that the apostle might do something tricks?”

“It may not be the case since we even sent a separate message… but it is the first time something like this has happened.”

Since he took office, he must have been concerned about the Apostolic Alliance every day, so it is natural for him to become nervous and sensitive in such a situation.

“You don’t have to worry. “The Sado League is not the old Sado League.”

The confidence in sword dance was due to trust in Bisain. When he heard this news, he was not the kind of person who would rush to the tavern with his men and open his arsenal.

So a big drinking party was prepared in the training hall.

He brought all the good liquor that Jeokpae had collected and made him buy all kinds of dishes from the author’s famous guesthouse and tavern.

It’s rare that we’ve all gathered together and drank like this. In particular, it was the first time that Zidane’s demons and the Demon Swordsman hung out together.

When everyone’s glasses were filled, Geommugeuk raised his glass loudly.

“Now today, let’s forget everything about the world and drink to our heart’s content!”

Everyone had a refreshing drink.

The gaze of the demonic swordsmen toward the sword dance was extremely favorable. Not just the comfort you gave me earlier, but also your martial arts skills that overwhelm everyone.

Geommugeuk fit comfortably with them.

He told me about the main unit and about the Mazons. In particular, everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard the story of the Demon Army, whom the Demon Sword Team regarded as their rival.

Where is that? With his vast experience and unique jokes, the people of the middle school and the new world were immersed in the story of the sword dance without noticing the passage of time.

Meanwhile, Jooyang sat motionless next to the sword dance. Even though I needed to pee, I didn’t go to do so. What if someone else sits while you are away and you have to sit among the demons? I’d rather end up cheap! He desperately held on to the seat next to the sword dance.

Geommugeuk, who had been chatting and playing with the demons for a while, came to Hogyeong, who was quietly drinking alone. When he left Joo-yang behind to follow him, he looked like he was left alone in hell.

“I’m tired from playing with the kids.”

When Ho-gyeong laughed at those words, Geommugeuk also laughed and added.

“In terms of age, you are the youngest, but you say things like this, right?”

“Just listening to what he said, he seemed like the oldest person. “When did you experience something like that?”

“I picked it up here and there.”

Two people emptied their drinks. Hogyeong asked while pouring alcohol for Geommugeuk.

“But how did you remember what happened before?”

“The moment I met Jidanju, I remembered the banquet hall that day. “Those were impressive words, and his face was the same as before.”

“What are you saying? “I am very old.”

This time, sword dance filled his cup.

“Isn’t it difficult to take care of everything carefully?”

“It’s my personality, so what should I do? “If you leave it alone, you won’t be able to sleep.”

As a principled person, there will be sadness he feels. It’s a difficult thing for the person who wants everything to go well, but gets criticized by others. How could he not want to live comfortably?

Geommugeuk said as he emptied his glass.

“If you do something difficult for a long time, isn’t there a time when the difficulty becomes strength?”

This was the feeling I felt when I was looking for Dafa materials before returning.

At first, it was very difficult and lonely. At that time, I went to sleep with this expectation. Tomorrow will be better.

As time passed, I thought this. Tomorrow will be difficult too. It’s harder because you’re trying to avoid hardship. Tomorrow will be difficult and the day after tomorrow will be difficult as well. It’s not just me who’s having a hard time, it’s going to be hard for everyone.

As more years passed, I realized it. In the end, it was that hardship that made me grow the most. He was my worst enemy and my only friend.

“So Lord Zidan looks strong.”

Looking at Geommugeuk’s deep eyes that did not suit his age, Ho-kyung felt that he too had gone through a lot of hardships. Yes, he must have gone through all sorts of things while fighting over the successor before becoming the head of the small church.

“Cheer up, Master Xiao!”

“Let’s do our best!”

So the two talked about the Gangseo branch until late at night. Geommugeuk silently listened to everything he said.

* * *

I found Jooyang in the backyard.

While avoiding the demons, he sat alone in front of the bonfire.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, it was just there.”

Geommugeuk sat next to him.

“Everyone drinks well.”

“It’s because you don’t know how to drink horses.”

Those magicians who drink alcohol without getting tired of it are also people from another world.

But I think I will miss this person right in front of me. Even in another world, I am the person who is the furthest away from me.

“Will I be able to see Master Xiao again?”

“I do not know. “I may see you often, or I may not see you until I die.”

“I will be working diligently, so please be sure to stop by when you come to Gangseo. “I will send you work-related reports without fail.”

“Juyang.”

“yes.”

Jooyang’s face was red, perhaps because of the light or because he was nervous.

“Someday, there will be a crisis. The crisis will tempt you with these words. Okay, you only live once anyway, right? Jooyang, you have already committed so many sins that I cannot forgive you if you do something foolish. So, if you feel tempted like that, come see me.”

“Are you telling me to come to the Demonic Church headquarters?”

“Okay, just come and find me at the front door.”

Zhou Yang thought about that scene for a moment. An image of himself standing at the main gate of the Demonic Cult’s headquarters and saying, ‘I have come to see the Little Cult Lord.’ Then the demons at the main gate will ask, ‘Who are you?’ No, it’s the guest of Sogyoju. ‘Who are you?’ Then, ‘I am a loan shark from far away in Gangseo.’ Oh, I don’t really want to imagine what’s next.

“I will work hard and live without having to visit you.”

The sword dance also laughed at Jooyang’s joke. The leader of Sogyo who smiles like this.

“Now this is the last gift.”

Geommugeuk handed him two nyang.

Zhou Yang politely accepted the money. These were the two coins I kept receiving after meeting Geommugeuk. Now you’re receiving it for the last time.

Jooyang asked while holding the coin tightly.

“Why are you so kind to me, who is just a loan shark?”

“I hear that often.”

Geomgeuk said, staring at the bonfire.

“Maybe I am that kind of person.”

Jooyang stood up and bowed deeply to Geommugeuk.

“I will never forget the grace that gave me a new life. “I don’t know if I’m a caterpillar, a maggot, or a caterpillar, but whatever it is, I’ll definitely spread my wings.”

Geomgeuk just watched in silence as the embers from the bonfire danced and flew up.

* * *

Two days later, Geommugeuk said goodbye to Ho-gyeong and other members of the Gangseo region.

“Are you going back to the headquarters?”

“If there are more, it will only hinder your work.”

When Ho-kyung said nothing, Geommugeuk joked.

“I guess you really think that.”

“Because I’m not the one to pamper you.”

The two people looked at each other and laughed.

“Soon, the headquarters will select a new Demon Sword Master.”

“I’m going to have to fight another tough fight.”

The day will come when hardship will become strength.

Geommugeuk conveyed what he said that day with his eyes.

As long as Ho Kyung is there, the Gangseo District will have no need to worry.

Then, the inspection of the Gangseo district is completed.

* * *

After saying goodbye to the Gangseo branch, the place Geommugeuk went to was the house of the coachman Pyeonjung.

“I’m looking for a skilled driver.”

Pyeonjung had just heard from the power station that he no longer had to repay the money. It was said that money paid in excess of the principal amount would be returned after calculating the appropriate interest.

When I heard the unbelievable news, I sat down with my wife and cried. The children cried along, not knowing what was happening.

I could tell that the eyes were puffy and biased. I don’t know how it happened, but this man in front of me did it.

Pyeonjung bowed his head and expressed deep gratitude in his heart.

“Where can I take you?”

Then came the most dangerous destination in the history of the coachman.

“Heavenly Demon Church Headquarters.”

When I first asked to go to the Gangseo branch of the Heavenly Demon God Church, my heart sank.

But now he wasn’t afraid. Instead, he smiled brightly and returned the favor by doing what he does best.

“I will take care of you until you reach your destination.”
