Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 53. I can’t stand feeling uncomfortable in the back (3)

“Hey! “Bring me a drink!”

Wi Hongryun, who returned to her residence after a few days, had a simple word.

Cha Gwang glanced at him and gestured to the crew. It seemed like he was upset, so he was gesturing to move quickly.

The crew moved quickly. These were the kind of urgent jokes that only came out when encountering a life-or-death enemy.

Cha Gwang quietly came next to Wei Hong-ryeon.

“Are you hurt?”

“….”

“Haha, if the great lord had become like this, the opponent would have been truly bloodthirsty….”

Puck!

“Ugh!”

Cha Gwang stumbled. I was hit on the back of the head so hard that I almost fell over from my seat.

Wei Hongryun glared at him with sinister eyes.

“Did anything good happen? Why are you splitting things apart? yes?”

“I’m sorry!”

“Where’s the alcohol? “I told you to bring it right away!”

“The crew is bringing it.”

“Then what about you?”

“…yes?”

“What are you doing making the kids do? If you don’t have anything to do, make some snacks! “Go with a thickly seasoned one!”

“yes!”

Cha Gwang left the room in a huff. He came forward hoping to lighten his mood, but ended up getting scolded and was so upset that he went crazy.

Wei Hongryeon snorted loudly.

“Damn, I feel dirty.”

She lit a double wick and sat down in a chair.

Crack, crack, crack!

The speed of the index finger hitting the table was reminiscent of a quick sword technique. He was hitting so fast and hard that if he left it alone, he would make a hole in the table.

Wei Hongryun was thinking of Xioliang. I thought about his blank expression and the words he said as if it were obvious.

– I think our training ends here?

– The beginning was the same, but each person’s purpose was different. Your fight is over, but my fight is still ongoing, right?

– Don’t act like a fuss and leave when you’re told.

“joy!”

I snorted so hard that even snot came out.

Wi Hongryeon roughly wiped her nose and chewed her lips.

“what? Different purpose? “Don’t you want to be crazy?”

I thought he was truly human.

Actually, it is not wrong. She was the one who suggested the training first, and although it was a little different from what she had imagined, her goal was fully achieved.

Still, there’s nothing to say so harshly, like cutting a radish with a knife, right? is not it?

bang!

The table that was hit with a fist was dented. Because I was holding on to the last thread of reason, I didn’t commit the atrocity of smashing the table I bought for a high price.

“Damn it! Hey these! “What are you doing and not bringing me a drink?”

As if they had been waiting, the door opened and the crew came to set up the drinks table.

Even though the snacks had not arrived yet, Wei Hongryun drank in a hurry. I was in such a hurry that I blew on it without even pouring it into a glass.

The crew members who had been watching secretly disappeared. This was because I knew from experience that if I was wrongly caught by Daeju at a time like this, I would be in trouble.

Wei Hongryeon, who had been drinking for a while, snorted.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it. You’ll take care of it. “No, it doesn’t matter now whether you are good at it or not, right?”

Yes, that’s enough.

Wi Hongryeon quietly drinking a glass of wine.

With each drink or two, her expression gradually became distorted.

“…Damn it!”

* * *

“Here we are.”

“Thank you.”

“no. “Then I’ll leave.”

Seven stomachs turned around.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at his back, opened his mouth.

“What happened?”

“What do you mean?”

“I asked how the investigation went. “Fourth, anyway, wasn’t one of your vice owners involved?”

“…Confidential details of the investigation are prohibited from being leaked to the outside world. “Please understand.”

Xu Liang nodded.

“Cheer up.”

Seven Camouflage’s shoulders twitched.

But he also disappeared for a moment with his characteristic quiet and upright steps.

Xu Liang smiled.

‘He’s not a bad person.’

After all, not all demonic religions live only like demons. There are people who live with their own correct values, like Cherry Blossoms, Ma Dong-pil, and Chil Sang-wook.

‘then.’

He looked at the door.

‘I wonder what kind of person the Head of Criminal Justice is.’

The highest status of Protestantism, the Three Gongzi and the Four Gongja, were called at the same time. No matter how much of a criminal law leader you are, it is bound to be a burdensome task.

Nevertheless, the fact that the two were called in unreasonably means that there is a purpose that must be resolved even if it is burdensome.

Grumble.

Seoyang opened the door and entered.

‘hmm.’

It looks like the room doesn’t appear right away, but you have to go through a long corridor leading to the room.

‘It’s a unique structure.’

If there were people inside, it would have felt crowded.

The true opening of the Dark Spirit Demonic Gong. After opening the first hell gate, the Hell Gate Ceremony, my energy became even more activated.

Until now, I had never felt the need to open it. The reason is that from the moment the Underground Jade Gate Demon Gate Ceremony was opened, the Demon Qi’s temperament was visibly revealed.

I kept it sealed away because I thought I should get that much attention from others, but now my thoughts have changed.

Anyway, anything has to look special to attract attention. There was a need to make everything from the atmosphere to the martial arts even more extravagant so that it would leave a strong impression on everyone.

In that respect, I was grateful to Song Kyung. Thanks to that guy, I realized that my presence was still not enough.

‘Chet, in order to achieve your dreams, you have to be able to do things you don’t like. Let’s think positively.’

In any case, his title alone is the subject of attention. There is no need to hesitate and draw the line.

Xu Liang entered the corridor.

Jump and jump.

It was very quiet inside the corridor.

There were flower lanterns hanging on the walls on every street corner, but they were vaguely bright, creating a rather gloomy atmosphere.

‘These are all good things, but they always try to create an atmosphere of fear.’

I really don’t like this.

For some reason, this dark corridor felt like a thorny path in life that I had to walk through to gain freedom. It’s a wet, gloomy, and slightly scary road.

‘Freedom… If you think about the punishment, it becomes very difficult.’

Although I have never been caught by others, there were times when my legs would twitch three or four times a day without my knowledge.

That’s because I thought I shouldn’t just go out without wasting time with something complicated like this. To put it bluntly, with my current skills, I think I could secretly unfold a new law…

‘That’s nonsense.’

It is certain that they will be caught before they even get through the civil war.

Even if you escape safely without being caught, it is a problem. Shingyo will most likely dispatch fearsome demons to find the missing Three Dukes. And among them, there will be people with skills that even the current Seoryang cannot handle.

You can’t give up the future for a moment of freedom.

What he wanted was complete freedom without anyone’s interference. The experience of being trapped in the world of evil people like Uicheon-maeng and iron-blooded people made him more cautious.

Xiliang’s eyes were a little bloodshot.

‘Everything I do will be of great help in the future. ‘I have no choice but to believe that and go forward.’

I had no idea that I would make such a promise while walking down a corridor that was neither long nor short. Seoliang clenched his fists as his strong will surged again.

‘Let’s finish today’s work well, beat up that son of a bitch Hong Wi-moon, and then watch the progress. ‘You shouldn’t think in a hurry, you idiot.’

After bracing himself well, he finally saw an antique door.

‘Hmm, we’re here… Huh?’

Xu Liang frowned.

There are two signs of popularity that can be felt from inside the door. It is most likely the head of the Criminal Law and Hong Wi-mun.

But one sign was very vague.

‘What is this prayer?’

Something is blurry yet clear, stiff yet mushy. It was a prayer that could not be explained in any single expression.

‘…I feel really bad.’

It’s okay, let’s meet and see.

Grumble.

Seoyang coolly opened the door.

at the same time.

“Are you here?”

One of the two people sitting in front of the round table stood up.

For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes sank.

“I have prepared a place for you here. “Please come, Prince Samgongja.”

The reason why members of the Criminal Law Party show only the minimum courtesy to the leadership is because they are concerned that they may not be able to maintain the minimum level of equality due to the nature of their work.

You can tell that just by looking at the camouflage. Use speech that is polite but clear and neither excessive nor insufficient.

But the person who woke up now was different. They acted informally, as if they had known each other for a long time.

“I prepared some nice drinks, but I don’t know how you’ll like them.”

The physique was neither big nor small.

I guess he’s in his early fifties now. However, unlike his gray hair, it was difficult to find a single wrinkle on his face. The clothes he wore were also ordinary, neither very luxurious nor particularly low-class.

The same goes for looks. He was neither ugly nor handsome. It was an impression that you would often see if you went out on the street.

The appearance of the head of the criminal law party of the time, the criminal law party leader, was full of such mediocrity and ambiguity. He was a person who felt unusual because he was not unique or had serious prayers.

“hmm? haha! Did I get something on my face? “Why are you staring at me so intently?”

“Are you the head of the Criminal Justice Department?”

The elderly man smiled kindly.

“That’s right. “I am Gogu, head of the criminal code.”

Seo-ryang, who was looking at him blankly, cast his gaze to the side.

Hong Yu-moon was sitting there with an expressionless face. He received the glass but didn’t seem to have drank it yet.

“Haha, it looks like the Three Princes are not in a good mood.”

“….”

“Anyway, you have come a long way, so please sit down for now. “Aren’t you tired from being interrogated for three days?”

Laugh and laugh again.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I won’t sit there.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Gogu’s face.

“Why are you doing that?”

“The fact that you called a crazy person like me or that idiot means that you have a purpose, right?”

Hong Wei-wen’s expression became cold. I couldn’t have felt good because I was called a fool in front of the head of the penal code.

Gogu looked embarrassed.

“How can you say such absurd things? “It’s difficult to support you, Samgongja.”

“I don’t know what the purpose is, but I have no intention of talking to someone who hides their true feelings. “I don’t have any hobby of getting into trouble if I play around.”

“yes?”

A demonic energy passed through Seo-ryang’s eyes.

Ugh.

The Amyeongjin Demonic Gong was excited and the Cheonla Yuktongsik unfolded naturally. As Muae Gong’s purification and jingyeol occurred spontaneously and purified the surroundings, the Super Divine Gwan was activated more sensitively than before.

“What a strange mask.”

“….”

“Even though the Black Swans wore masks, it was difficult to find any ambiguity. I just felt like a judge and executioner. But you are different.”

Gogu’s smile deepened.

“Are you saying there’s something different about me?”

“It’s his real face, but he’s wearing a mask. “A mask ten times thicker and a hundred times more ambiguous than the masks of the Black Birds.”

“Do you feel that way?”

“Isn’t it obvious? “You’re hiding yourself, aren’t you?”

Even Hong Yu-moon frowned at the continuation of the conversation, which was not easy to understand, wondering what he was talking about.

But Gogu’s reaction was different.

“…You are truly amazing.”

It was then.

Crunchy. Crump patter.

Hong Yuwen’s eyes wavered.

Ttuduk! Quad deuk!

A cold chill appeared on Seoryang’s expressionless face.

Cheeeeeeeek!

Gogu’s face was changing.

This is not a metaphor, but the facial features really change. My bones were twisted and my muscles were shaking uncontrollably. At some point, a vague gray haze rose from the face that changed rapidly.

‘Axis Bone Qigong (縮骨奇功)…’

refers to a martial art that artificially changes a person’s muscles and bones using powerful internal energy.

‘I thought it was a fictitious martial arts feat made up by luxury enthusiasts who like to talk loudly.’

Although there are many techniques in the world, I have never thought that martial arts that change the structure of the human body exist. This is because when bones and muscles change, the positions of the five organs and muscles also change, and further damage to the nerves can occur.

If there really was such a martial artist, why would the assassins go out of their way to save Inpimyeongu?

Crunch! Quack!

“You are the third person so far to notice my transformation right away.”

As his body changed, even his speech changed.

The appearance of Gogu shown to Seoryang so far was literally a decorated appearance. This current way of speaking showed Gogu’s true personality.

“I wondered how he was able to survive in the bamboo forest for eight months, and I think his unparalleled insight played a big role.”

Phew.

Eventually, Gogu’s true appearance was revealed. He was an older man with a strong appearance who appeared to be in his mid to late thirties.

“How do you feel? Are you satisfied?”

Xu Liang pointed to the table with his chin.

“I’m hungry, so please bring out some snacks.”
