Episode 47: You fill the gap.
After a while, Neunghyu came in there.
“I came running after receiving the call from Majon.”
Our eyes turned to his waist. As expected, there were no ghost wires worn by magicians there.
“Where is your ship?”
“I lost it yesterday.”
Then, the ghost spirit that he was holding was thrown at him.
“It’s mine. Where did this come from?”
He did not dare to ask the Subsoul Mazon, but instead asked a question to me.
“Several bodies were found yesterday, and this one was found together.”
Neunghyu was startled when he heard my answer. It was a different type of surprise than the general surprise that one’s belongings were found at the crime scene.
And Neunghyu also did not ask where the body was found or what the cause of death was.
‘Ah, this neunghyu is the one in charge of disposing of the body!’
It was the moment when it was confirmed that the Soul Majon was practicing the Heart Soul Great Law.
“Since the situation is like this, we should go together and get investigated.”
Neunghyu wasn’t afraid of me. He looked at the only person he feared and hoped to dispose of him.
The Soul Mazon just looked at him in silence and could tell that he was sending a message in an unusual way.
Soon after, Neunghyu spoke to me.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
He was arrested without pleading not guilty or resisting.
I greeted the Soul Mazon politely.
“Thank you for your cooperation. See you next time.”
The Soul Mazon nodded silently. His expression was so calm that I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
* * *
As soon as I returned, I ordered an investigation into Neunghyu.
Special investigators took turns investigating him, but he only said that he had lost his debt and did not say anything else.
“I don’t think it will be easy to open my mouth.”
I nodded at Seo Dae-ryong’s words. I could tell just by looking at his eyes. His loyalty and fear of the Subsoul Mazon were so strong that no amount of cajoling or interrogation would work.
“There is no evidence that they were murdered, so we won’t be able to hold them for long.”
“Anyway, he’s just a lackey. “If you want to catch it, you have to catch the Soul Mazon.”
Seo Dae-ryong must have read the energy in my eyes and said worriedly.
“Be careful, your opponent is the Subsoul Mazon.”
“Do you remember what I told you when I first arrived? “Even if my father does something wrong, I’m going to catch him.”
“yes.”
“Then he has to be careful. Go and tell it. “Be careful.”
“I wish I had the courage to do that.”
That day, an unexpected person came to my office.
Seo Dae-ryong, who came in with a surprised face, even stuttered.
“The religious leader has come to visit.”
I was also surprised. I never dreamed that my father would come here.
“Hurry and take him.”
Soon after Seo Dae-ryong left, my father came into the office.
“father? “What brings you here?”
“I stopped by while passing by.”
No way. My father came because he had something to say to me.
“We have tea and alcohol.”
“What are you drinking in broad daylight? “Let’s have a cup of tea.”
I got in the car and brought it out myself. Meanwhile, my father was standing at the window behind my seat, looking out.
“Have some tea.”
My father said, still looking out the window.
“You shouldn’t touch the Soul Mazon yet.”
I could tell. That you came to say this.
You know that I went to Seohwanjin and arrested Neunghyu. And now that the body has been found, I don’t want to leave the soul mazon alone.
“Why not?”
“Because I can’t kill you with your martial arts skills.”
“You can cut them down when they are off guard. If that doesn’t work, I’ll even stab you in the back and kill you.”
“It would be harder to stand behind him than to kill him.”
“Is the Subsoul Mazon that strong?”
“It is both the weakest and the strongest.”
I understood what that meant.
It meant that if he surpassed his magic, that is, if he learned martial arts that his magic could not work on, or reached the level of martial arts that his magic could not work, he would be the easiest opponent. If you exclude the hex, the martial arts of the Soul Mazon would be nothing special.
From this perspective, the weakest mazon to my father would be the soul mazon. Because the soul demon’s hex would not work on my father at all.
“Can you help me get over it?”
“It’s impossible in a short period of time.”
“As you’ve seen so far, aren’t I learning faster than you think?”
“That’s not enough. There are two ways to prevent the Seophonma’s Seophonjutsu. The first thing is to learn the martial arts technique. “The level of blocking will vary depending on the quality of the person who has mastered it, but even if you only reach the Five Stars, the Seophon’s hex will not work.”
“I don’t want to hear the second. Please let me stop it first.”
My father pretended not to hear my request to make him his successor and suggested the second option.
“Or, you will achieve great success as a Heavenly Demon Tiger God. “Both are impossible right now, so I’m telling you to back off.”
One solution that came to my mind at that time. There was one method that I knew because I had done regression.
‘Father, there is actually a third way.’
It’s a hundred times easier than the first or second method.
The problem actually lay elsewhere.
“Is Seobhonmazon absolutely necessary for our school?”
My father must have felt it. The murderous intent contained in my calm question.
“Among the Palmazons, the one whom the political faction considers the most picky is Seophon.”
I said it back, but it was absolutely necessary.
“Even though you are ripping out people’s hearts while they are still alive for the sake of Dafa? “Did you know?”
My father shook his head.
“I found out this time too.”
How will your father handle it?
Would your father like a guy who took out his heart alive?
However, as the leader of the church, you cannot justly eliminate the person who will be the strongest force in the church when dealing with the Murim Alliance. This is not a problem that should be left to my father, but a problem that I need to solve.
“You told me to tell you in advance before killing the Mazon, right?”
It was a promise made by his father when he allowed Ian to learn the Bicheon Sword Technique.
“I’m telling you now. I will kill the Soul Mazon. “Of the eight Mazon, he is the first to die.”
The mazon who lived the longest in the world before returning was the soul mazon. He will now meet the exact opposite fate.
“This is different from killing someone out of anger just because you don’t like them. It’s worse than a crazy guy running around killing people. This is killing people systematically and regularly with a sane mind. If the purpose is grandiose, I understand. Isn’t that just for the sake of becoming a little stronger? This is not a human, father. My father has a position with the Palmazons, so please leave it to me. “You gave me the hilt of the sword, so please let me wield it until the end.”
I don’t know how much my father would agree with what I said. I want to go down the same path as my father, but for this matter, I’m going to think about it this way.
It is said that on a long journey, sometimes you have to separate from your companions for a while and then meet again from one road to the other.
My father stared at me in silence for a long time, said something unexpected, and left the room.
“If you have that level of skill… you will fill his void, so there won’t be a big problem.”
“!”
It was permission to kill. He advised me to step forward when I had the skills and even pressured me to fill the void.
A smile formed on my face. Since he was already gone, I said thank you in my heart.
‘Thank you, father.’
After all, the Father is the Father. Yes, it wasn’t a journey to break up because of something like this. My father and I are still following the same path.
It’s not possible, but if I become a father in this life… I briefly thought that I would like to give my son the same thrill that my father gave me just moments ago.
Of course, I will live alone in this life as well.
* * *
“Please, please save me, I have children. “If I die, my children will…”
The man quietly looked into the pleading eyes of the woman.
The woman looked at the man in horror.
The eyes of this ordinary-looking man were so scary.
But I mustered up courage because I thought of my child. She raised her children alone. If you do not take care of them, your young children will not survive the winter and will die.
“Please send it. I will do everything you tell me to do. Please just send it to me. please! Help me.”
Tears flowed from the woman’s eyes.
Then the woman saw the man’s eyes turn black. I saw my children in the black shadows.
For a moment, she smiled brightly in joy, but soon her face began to fill with pain.
The children suffered from hunger, were beaten by other beggars, and were taken away by a madman.
“no! please! no!”
The man’s eyes were cruel. Even the children’s last moments were staged as if they were trying to extract all of her sadness.
The children were lying dead on the street in the cold winter. The words ‘Mommy, I’m hungry’ came out of the children’s mouths.
“Ahhh! no!”
When her sadness and despair reached their peak, she lost her heart.
Her heart was beating in the man’s hands.
The sadness of not being able to see her children any more than the sadness of losing her own life turned into bloody tears that splattered everywhere.
Her breath stopped, and the average-looking man’s strength increased only slightly.
* * *
The next day, I took Neunghyu, who was in the interrogation room, and went to Seohwanjin.
I decided to use the third method to kill the Soul Mazon.
But for that to happen, it takes about two months. This is because you have to arrive somewhere on a set date. Until then, we need to buy time somehow. Just two months.
This time, I only took Seo Dae-ryong with me. I forced myself not to go because I was scared. You have to take it with you. Because the next Nether Footnote needed a lot of experience.
The black eyes of the Soul Mazon that greeted us were grotesquely large.
“Neunghyu was found not guilty. “We found no evidence that they were killed.”
“Then just release Neunghyu. Why did you come?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Say it.”
“Please pass on the surroundings.”
I had Seo Dae-ryong go outside. What I was going to say from now on was something important that the other person might react to with murder.
Just the two of them told him.
“I know that Mazon is practicing the Great Law of the Heart.”
“What is Heart and Soul Dabeop? “This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
He lied without even changing his eyes. Since he had risen to the rank of Majon by handling people’s hearts, he had no emotional turmoil.
“Stop Dafa.”
“What on earth are you talking about, Mr. Lee?”
His words echoed loudly from all directions.
“If you reject my offer, you will die.”
When the Soul Mazon laughed as if it was ridiculous, the words I said echoed as if they were mocking me.
―If you refuse, you will die. If you refuse, you will die…
I heard the words “die” in the voices of many people I know.
I controlled my mind with the Heavenly Demon Defense Technique and spoke firmly.
“It’s not me who kills the Mazon.”
―It’s not me, it’s not me…
Again, my words were repeated by many people’s voices, mocking me.
“I will convince my father.”
The echo died at the mention of my father.
The silence that came to the room.
The only person he fears.
The only thing that could stop him, even for a while, was his father.
“Every morning, I will go say hello and ask for a favor. Please kill the soul mazon. I’ll go back the next day and tell you again. Anyone who takes out the heart of a living person is just someone who disparages the status of our school. I will go and tell you the next day. I will give up my successor, so please kill me. I will try to persuade you with all kinds of words the next day and the next day. Then, one day, Majon might say something like this to my father when he makes a big mistake.”
The moment I finished speaking, the Soul Mazon’s black eyes became as small as dots. It was a bizarre appearance, as if his eyes had been sucked in somewhere and only dots remained. At the same time, powerful demonic energy was released from his body.
Kihihihihi.
As a ghostly sound was heard, the surroundings darkened and then became bright.
Before I knew it, the surroundings had completely changed.
