Episode 112 Breaking Shell (2)The interior of the fast-moving carriage was quiet.
Unlike usual, Seoryangâs eyes were completely indifferent as he rested his chin and quietly looked at the window.
However, the reason why Ma Dong-pil and Wi Hong-ryeon, who were riding together, were speechless was not only because of Seo-ryang. Ma Dong-pil closed his eyes and was immersed in meditation, and Wei Hong-ryeon was reviewing the order with a serious face.
Even if it was Ma Dong-pil, seeing Wei Hong-ryeon like this was unexpected.
Although she was always loud and venomous, she was also the leader of a combat unit. When starting a mission, it was natural to take it seriously to avoid failure.
How much time has passed like that?
Wei Hongryun said while looking at Xu Liang.
âInspector. Considering the speed of the carriage, it will arrive at Jeoksaga in approximately five days. âIf you leave a little more time, it may be delayed by a day or two.â
ââ¦.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âWhat do you think is better?â
âI recommend taking your time.â
Xu Liang nodded.
âDo it that way.â
âAll right.â
Wei Honglian, who was reviewing the documents again, asked again.
âThere is a secret branch of our church in Yeonju. Would you like to stay there for a while?â
âIs it good to reorganize?â
âThatâs right. âI think the more time you have, the better it is in many ways.â
âRight.â
âBut thatâs only a problem for the crew. We are only an escort and emergency force. âIf it is a break that will interfere with the inspection mission, I think it is right to exclude it.â
âThen go and donât stop by.â
âAll right.â
No other reasons are asked or explanations are added. Although each person had a different mindset, the conversation itself was clean and smooth.
Time passed again.
Ma Dong-pil opened his eyes.
âConfucius.â
âuh.â
âDawn has broken, so letâs eatâ¦â
At that time, Geumho popped his head out from Seoryangâs arms.
Ma Dong-pilâs face had a look of confusion on his face. Although the long sleeves were plentiful, I couldnât believe I didnât even know I had a Geumho in my arms.
âYou brought Geumho.â
âWhy do you want to come?â
Seoyang habitually scratched Geumhoâs chin. Geumho made a purring sound and showed cuteness.
âdo not worry. âI wonât disturb you and you wonât get hurt.â
âOh yeah.â
Ma Dong-pil quenched his appetite. Is it because Confuciusâs mood is different from usual? I wanted to break the awkwardness by telling a joke, but I couldnât open my mouth easily.
To begin with, he was far from joking or playing around. Although he had become considerably softer after spending time with Seo-ryang, that did not mean he had become more pleasant.
Ma Dong-pil thought for a moment and took out a hot rice ball from the bottom of the carriage. Okay, letâs not do anything we havenât done before.
âPlease eat.â
âI have no thoughts. âYou eat.â
what�
Ma Dong-pil was taken aback by Seo-ryangâs lukewarm response. Wasnât he someone who never refused food even when it wasnât mealtime?
Wei Hongryeon, perhaps quite surprised, glanced at Seoliang.
âConfucius⦠no, inspector.â
âhmm?â
âWouldnât it be better to eat on time?â
âI have no appetite.â
âWell, thatâs a really big problem.â
I had nothing else to say, so I ended up answering like that.
Wei Hongryeon secretly whispered to Ma Dongpil.
âI wanted to ask you earlier, why are you doing that?â
âI donât know.â
âDid you get hit in the eye by someone?â
âBe careful what you sayâ¦â
Seo-ryang said harshly.
âI didnât get hit in the eye.â
ââ¦hehe, did you hear?â
âItâs just that I have something to think about. âThereâs no need to worry, so eat.â
âOh, then what?â
The two people chewed their rice balls eagerly.
Seo-ryang looked at the window and inwardly sighed.
âDamn it.â
Why does this make me feel so sad?
âIsnât this the freedom youâve been longing for? But why are you doing this? âHave you no longer needed freedom?â
He looked back at himself seriously.
And the conclusion reached.
âNo way.â
My heart is already pounding as I think about building a large house in a place with a beautiful view and having fun.
I had never lived a proper life, so I didnât want that kind of life. The dream that his nature desired was a leisurely life.
Dreams and goals are different. However, they have something in common: constant change.
Perhaps when that dream comes true, I will have another dream. I donât think itâs possible, but maybe Iâll miss Moorim again.
But that was after I achieved my current dream.
âJust thinking about it makes my heart pound. I want to achieve that dream even if it means risking my life.â
But why is it so uncomfortable?
âBecause of the cherry blossoms I left behind?â
Yes.
âAre you thinking about breaking up with Dongpil?â
That is also true.
ââ¦.â
Seo-ryangâs face became blurred.
âItâs just not everything.â
Now is the time to admit it. Although he is not a rare saint in the world, it is clear that he is a great man who is weak in emotions like other ordinary people.
However, this discomfort was not simply due to separation from people who had given affection to them.
Something more fundamental than that. Even if you actually achieve your dream, there is an unknown darkness that will surely linger in a corner of your heart.
âWhat on earth is that?â
Xu Liang glanced at the two people. The two people were eating rice balls deliciously.
To put it bluntly, it could just disappear without a word. Although you may not be able to fully display the Dark Godâs Body using the Gu Yuma Gong, you may be able to fool the eyes of the guards.
It will be too late once you find out. If we speed up as much as possible, we will be able to enter the Honam safe house within three days.
Then thatâs it. The safe house in Honam is stocked with emergency rations and elixirs that can easily last for two years. All you need to do is improve your skills even more over the past two years and leave the midfield without anyone noticing.
In fact, it means that you can easily disappear without having to fake your death by colliding with the enemy.
Then you can do it like that, right?
âOkay, thereâs no need to drag it out for a long time. Take action tonightâ¦!â
At that moment, Seo-ryangâs eyes became bloodshot.
Jiing! Jiing!
A sound more powerful than ever.
It is a much more terrible sound than when I was trapped in the world of Uicheonmaeng and Iron Blood Castle and when I faced Lee Cheon-sang. My super senses were ringing like crazy.
âI shouldnât run away like this?â
Why on earth?!
âHas there been an epidemic in Honam? âIs there any reason why I shouldnât go there?â
To put it simply, the extra sense is the sixth sense. The sixth sense is a feeling that cannot be explained by logic, and of course it was not something that could be interpreted right away.
Itâs a very magical ability, but no matter how extrasensory you are, you canât tell whatâs going to happen in a distant region.
ââ¦Sir.â
ââ¦.â
âInspector!â
Seo-ryang looked at Wei Hong-ryeon, startled by the voice calling him.
An invisible worry was written on her sour face.
âAre you okay? âWhy are you sweating so much?â
âuh?â
He wiped his forehead. As Wei Hongryeon said, cold sweat was seeping out.
âNo, itâs okay.â
Ma Dong-pil asked.
âIf youâre not feeling wellâ¦.â
âThat canât be possible.â
Thereâs no way a monster who broke the limit of climax at that age would break into a cold sweat just because he wasnât feeling well.
âI was just thinking about it. do not worry. âBecause thereâs nothing wrong.â
ââ¦Yeah.â
Ma Dong-pilâs face became serious.
Thatâs the answer, but I canât help but be worried. Has Confucius looked much different from usual since yesterday?
At first, I thought it was just the pressure of the mission. Although he was strong as a monster, I thought he must have thought about it since it was an order given directly by the leader.
But there are degrees of burden. Besides, given Confuciusâs personality, thereâs no way he would feel this much pressure, right?
Xu Liang sighed and buried his back in the chair.
âDonât worry about me and get some rest. âI need to get some sleep too.â
âAll right.â
He closed his eyes with difficulty. I felt the gaze of two people, but ignored it.
Letâs not think about anything for now and just get some rest.
* * *
Six days later.
âThere is a forest five miles ahead. âI will spend the night there today.â
âokay.â
âIt looks like we will enter Jeoksagaâs territory before noon on the day of the anniversary. âIt will probably arrive at Jeoksa Temple around mid-morning (13:00-15:00).â
âokay.â
âWould you like to sleep in the carriage?â
âokay.â
After a while, the group arrived at the forest and settled down in a suitable place. As has been the case up to now, 30 members of the Gwangmadang decided to take turns keeping watch.
Wi Hongryeon, who was making a bonfire and rummaging through firewood, suddenly felt a sense of popularity and turned her head.
Ma Dong-pil was approaching.
âWhy did you come here to rest?â
âI came out because the Master seemed to want to be alone.â
Wei Honglian nodded.
âHow about you, Confucius?â
âYou saw it too.â
âYou are much closer to Confucius than I am.â
âI donât know either. The good news is that you are regaining peace as time goes by.â
âtranquility? really?â
ââ¦As I just said, you also saw it in person, didnât you?â
âDamn it, Iâm so insensitive that I donât know much about that. And because I was receiving reports all the time, I wasnât able to keep an eye on Confuciusâ complexion like you did.â
Ma Dong-pil nodded vigorously.
âYouâve definitely improved. âIt seemed like you had some concerns, but I think things have been sorted out now.â SÑarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âokay? Well, thatâs enough.â
âSurprisingly.â
âwhat?â
âI didnât know that the Great Lord thought so much of Confucius.â
Wei Hongryun snorted.
âRight now, there is no relationship between the Three Dukes of our school and Wei Hongryun. It was tied up with the Special Inspection Agency and Gwangma Daeju. âIf the leader is shaken, the mission will also be shaken, so how can you not worry?â
âThat is correct what the Great Lord said.â
âAnyway, Iâm glad youâre okayâ¦â
At that time, a gloomy voice came from behind her.
âThe kindness of your heart brings tears to my eyes.â
âcrane!â
The two people, startled, looked back.
I donât know when Seo-ryang came out, but he was standing with his arms crossed.
âUh, when did you come?â
âjust now.â
âNo, you should at least pretend to be popular. âBut your stealth skills are scary?â
âThe art of stealth is a curse and you have dull senses.â
Seoryang, who was complaining, sat down in front of the bonfire.
âIâm hungry. If you have any beef jerky, give me some.â
Ma Dong-pil politely handed over the beef jerky.
Seoliang eagerly chewed the beef jerky. Maybe it was because I hadnât eaten properly in a while, but even the hard beef jerky was delicious.
Wei Hongryun looked at Xiliang with strange eyes.
âYou must be hungry.â
âTsk tsk but what?â
âYou manage to chew that stiff thing so well.â
âThen are you going to chew it tastelessly?â
âNo, itâs nothing like that. âYou must have enjoyed the delicacies from the mountains and the seas because you enjoyed them so much.â
âWhen I was young, I survived on beef jerky that was 10,000 times more delicious than this. âThis is a sumptuous feast.â
It doesnât really suit a young man under 30 who says he has a small life.
Whatever it is, Iâm glad that Confucius seems to have returned to his usual self. Wei Hongryeon took out a flat water bottle the size of her palm from her arms.
âWould you like a sip?â
âOh, thank you. âBut why is this guyâs canteen so small?â
Seo-ryangâs eyes wavered as he held the canteen in his mouth.
ââ¦you?â
âHehe, I want to warm up when I stay overnight.â
âWhy did you even bring alcohol while saying that you were meeting with the inspector over a large drink?â
âI brought it to sip after the mission. âItâs something you treasured, so please eat a little bit.â
Seo-ryang burst out laughing. Heâs usually a very annoying guy, but today I was somehow thankful. It was because he knew that Wei Hongryun was truly worried about him.
âOkay, letâs take it easy.â
Since I have taken on the task of being an inspector, letâs finish this task. If they jump out in the middle, Ma Dong-pil and Wi Hong-ryeon will also be disciplined.
Letâs run away after everything is over. Well, if thatâs what it is, I donât have anything to say, but it would be better to finish my work.
âItâs funny to draw a line in advance just because youâve decided to break up. âIsnât it selfish to want to be comfortable in the name of helping others?â
If we couldnât be together anyway, letâs take it easy until the end. Itâs a super sense, so sleep on it and run wherever you want for now.
âOkay, thatâs fine.â
The three people laughed and chatted. It was truly the first proper conversation I had had in a long time.
good! Letâs start from the bottom of the story properly!
Noon the next day.
Thanks to the energetic horse riding, a group of people blocked the groupâs path as they arrived at Jeoksa Temple an hour earlier than expected.
âAre you from Protestantism?â
Wei Hongryun, who was in the lead, nodded arrogantly.
The leader of the group, Hong Sang-ho, head of the second family of Jeoksaga, smiled bitterly.
âInterior construction is underway. âIt is difficult to accommodate all the people, so the escort unit will be taken elsewhere.â
ââ¦?â
âOnly the acting inspector follow me.â
Wei Hongryunâs face suddenly turned cold.
Just before spitting out double insults.
Rattling.
The door opened and Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil got out.
Seo-ryang looked Hong Sang-ho up and down.
Hong Sang-ho frowned. He didnât like the look in Seo-ryangâs eyes.
Seo-ryang asked as if throwing a question.
âhouse owner?â
ââ¦My name is Lee Gaju Hong Sang-ho.â
âIgaju? âItâs not the head of the family, itâs the head of the family?â
âThe head of the family is nowâ¦.â
âThe head of the family.â
Wei Hongryun lowered her head.
âYes, inspector.â
Xu Liang turned around.
âThese things are out of position. âThey are people who look down on our school, so write a report saying there is nothing to investigate.â
ââ¦!â
âItâs a waste of time. Letâs go to Geogyeongga.â
