Absolute Regression

Episode 275: Don’t choose our school.

Of course, it was something the prosecutor wanted to hear.

Geommugeuk stood up and greeted Geomseon with a polite hug.

“I wasn’t able to formally greet you before. “It’s an honor to meet you.”

Geomseon examined the sword dance with keen eyes. It was the same when I first saw it, but I was once again amazed by the eyes and prayers of the sword dance.

‘Even though you’ve learned magic, your eyes are so clear? It’s truly amazing.’

Geomseon’s gaze was directed at Hyeolcheon Doma, who was standing behind Geommugeuk. What Hyeolcheondoma said earlier came to mind.

-It could change.

When he spoke as if he had changed his life, was he referring to this leader?

The swordsman asked again in a soft yet stern tone.

“Try again what you said earlier.”

“I expected you didn’t know. “If you had known, you couldn’t have tolerated it.”

Geom-seon only followed Jin Ha-gun at the request of the Murim lord Jin Pae-cheon and did not know what had happened to him. I wasn’t interested in the first place.

“Does this mean that what you said earlier is true?”

“That’s right. Seocheong over there killed a passerby and also killed a student at our school because he wanted to kill. There are other victims as well. “I happened to be in Honam, and when I tried to punish Seocheong, the Murim League came forward to stop it.”

Geomseon asked Jinha with cold eyes.

“Daju Jin, is that statement true?”

If you answer yes, even if Geomseon is the Murim lord and not the grandson of the Murim lord due to his nature, you will be criticized.

Jinha was able to understand the intention of the sword dance. It means to use the sword to get out.

“It’s true.”

At that moment, anger welled up in Geomseon.

Jinha added quickly.

“There is just one fact missing.”

Jin Ha looked at Seo Cheong and said.

“I was also trying to give Seocheong appropriate punishment for his crimes.”

Jinha knew. That this is the most natural way to let go of Cheonhwamun.

“What kind of punishment is this?”

“The intention was to put him in prison. “I will be locked up for the rest of my life.”

Geomseon looked at Jinhagun with suspicious eyes. It could have been that he was hastily making an excuse when he came forward.

Jinha confidently received the gaze of the swordsman. Actually, I could do that or I couldn’t. He decided to believe in himself. I guess they would have punished me somehow.

Finally, Geomseon’s expression cleared up.

“Yeah, I knew it would be you.”

Geomseon trusted Jinhagun and gave him strength. This is Jinha, whom I have seen since I was young. I knew very well that I had lived harder than anyone else and was an upright child.

“I believe you.”

“We will improve even further so as not to disappoint you.”

Prince Jinha was fortunate that things did not progress toward absorbing Cheonhwamun. Now that I think about it, I was blinded by greed, but I was really blind.

Of course, that didn’t mean the prosecutor’s anger disappeared. The target just changed.

Geomseon’s gaze turned towards Seocheong. If you look at him, you should immediately run to Geom-seon, but Seo-cheong just stood there, terrified.

Seo Baek-jung called loudly.

“What are you doing without coming here?”

Even so, he was angry. If I had offended him wrongly, I could have lost my life right here.

“I told you to come here!”

Seo Baek-jung shouted and sent a message.

-Do as the swordsman tells you. Come and ask for forgiveness for my death!

―Please save me, father! I can’t go to that prison! If I go, I’ll die.

-Shut up! This is not the time to be fooled!

When Seo Baek-jung got angry, Seo Cheong walked towards Geom-seon with a very scared face.

An urgent message from Seo Baek-jung reached Jin Ha-gun.

-Please stop!

―Now that Geom Seon has stepped forward, there is nothing I can do. As Munju knows, isn’t Geomseon a close friend of Maengju and someone who has been working with him all his life?

-Is this really going to happen? Will he just get over this?

Seo Baek-jung mentioned Jin Ha-gun’s master.

It was definitely the part that bothered Jinha the most.

However, Geomseon had stepped forward and Jinhagun had decided to let go of Cheonhwamun. I believed that my master would definitely understand my decision.

―He also cannot go against the will of the elder Geomseon.

Meanwhile, Seo Cheong stood in front of the prosecutor.

Geomseon asked him with cold eyes.

“Is what you heard from the Demonic Cult leader earlier true?”

Seo Cheong hesitated, not knowing how to answer. The place where his gaze was directed was again Seobaekjung.

If he was not guilty, he would have said no and complained of injustice. Just by looking at this action, he was admitting everything he had done.

Seo Baek-joong stepped forward instead.

“This is an incident that is still under investigation and the truth has not been revealed.”

He tried to avoid this moment somehow. Jinha must have felt sorry for her, so she expected him to say yes.

However, the person Geomseon asked about was Geommugeuk.

“Master Xiao, is what this person said true?”

“no. “All sins have already been revealed.”

Then Geomseon scolded Seo Baekjung with cold eyes.

“How dare you lie to me?”

Confining him to prison was also an unsatisfactory form of inspection. Because his life was about punishing those who killed innocent people, regardless of their status.

Seo Baek-jung lowered his head as if he had made a mistake and sent a message.

-Quickly kneel down and pray!

Only then did Seo Cheong kneel. He was very scared.

‘Not just prison!’

Seocheong pleaded with Geomseon.

“I was drunk and made a mistake. I don’t remember what happened that day. Please forgive me.”

In an instant, Geomseon’s expression became even colder. Instead of saying that I was wrong, the first thing that came out was that I made a mistake. And even an excuse to drink?

Geom-seon, who says he knows ten when he sees one, was able to immediately figure out what kind of person Seo-cheong was.

“It was a mistake?”

“It was your mistake.”

“Then why did you kill the other person?”

“That’s…”

I couldn’t think of an excuse. He raised his head and pleaded.

“Please forgive me just once.”

“I’m asking why you killed him.”

Seo Cheong’s mind went blank at the frost-like reprimand.

In a blank state where everything seemed like a blank page, a feeling rose up from deep within Seo Qing’s heart. The thing I used the most toward others in my life was anger.

Seo Cheong was angry. No one has ever pushed themselves like this before.

The next moment he shouted.

“Because I wanted to kill you!”

For a moment there was silence there.

“Because it was thrilling to kill someone.”

Seo Qing raised his head, looked around, and shouted even louder.

“You know that feeling, right? You killed more, right? “Why do you only have me!”

Everyone there just looked at him with cold eyes.

The person who ran to him was Seo Baek-jung.

match!

Seo Baek-jung slapped Seo Cheong on the cheek without mercy.

“Shut up!”

“Why are you hitting me? “Did I say something wrong?”

He could have known that he had hit him to save himself, but Seo Cheong, who was so excited, could not see anything.

“Why does that old man want to punish me? Isn’t this the realm of the Demonic Cult, not the realm of the Murim Alliance? Even if I get punished, I have to get it from those people!”

match! match!

Seo Baek-jung beat Seo Cheong mercilessly.

Who would you blame? It’s your fault for raising your child like this.

Seo Baek-jung could feel it. The swordsman’s anger has reached its peak. I thought that if things continued like this, Geomseon might kill Seocheong.

He quickly sent a message to Bisain.

―We will join hands with the Apostolic Alliance.

Bisain did not immediately respond to his desperate words. Because now he holds the sword hilt.

Bisain was impressed by Geommugeuk. Are you dragging things along like this by dragging the prosecutor in? If you look at the results, it may seem like something anyone could think of, but it was something that not everyone could accomplish.

While Seo Baek-jung was making a brief campaign to attract Sadomaeng, Seo Cheong, who could not stand it any longer, began his work.

He was angry with his father. He misunderstood that the person who was supposed to save him somehow was keeping quiet because he wanted to live alone. It’s like hitting yourself.

Normally, there is no affection or trust between blood relatives, so in extreme situations, I ended up only having extreme thoughts.

Seo Cheong uttered something he should never have said out of fear and misunderstanding that his father had abandoned him.

“Your father killed people too, right?”

Embarrassed, Seo Baek-jung quickly spoke to Geom-seon.

“Don’t worry, I’m just spouting out random words because I’m scared.”

Seo Baek-jung looked back at Seo-cheong and frowned.

-Shut up! Do you really want to kill this father too?

I said this in a hurry, but it was a mistake. Seo Cheong interpreted those words as ‘If you want to die, you must die!’ Seo Cheong shouted in a panic.

“You poisoned the evil poison sword and buried it in the bamboo forest behind the mountain, right? “You killed Honam Samrang and you also killed Annihilation Sword!”

The silence that came for a moment.

A name that shouldn’t have appeared came out. Although Honam Samrang and Myeokjeolgeom are people who had a political relationship, Sadokgeom is a military officer belonging to the Sado Alliance.

Seo Baek-jung looked at Bi Sain with a puzzled face.

-The missing Zadok sword was buried in the mountain behind Seomunju.

-You misunderstand.

-No excuses. After all, Zadokgeom was not from my side.

―Then are you holding my hand?

-Unfortunately, that would be difficult. No matter how sadistic we may be, don’t we also have pride?

Even after knowing that they had killed Sapa Muin, I could not accept them. Because there were more than one eye to see. Geommugeuk rolled a pumpkin to him, but it rolled around and ended up slipping out of his grasp.

In the end, Seo Baek-jung hung on to the rope furthest from him.

“We will join hands with the Heavenly Demon Church. Please accept us.”

Seo Baek-jung did not even send a telegram. There was no time to adjust the situation by telephoning right now. The son is also a son, but now his own life is in danger. The only place you can trust is the Demonic Cult.

Seeing that, Bisain let out an exclamation, saying, “This is what happens in the end.” At first, when Geommugeuk jokingly said that one should never choose the Demonic Cult, Bisain had a premonition that this might end up being the case.

And it really happened.

“Didn’t I clearly say no? “They told me not to choose this school.”

“Please accept it.”

“I don’t like it! “Go to your favorite martial arts club over there.”

“please!”

“Over there, the leader of the Sadomaeng has a scary face, but he is a good person. “Go over there.”

“Please accept it from the Protestant Church! please!”

Seo Baek-jung grabbed the trouser leg of Geommugeuk and begged.

“This is difficult.”

It really didn’t go astray from Bisain’s expectations one bit.

In the end, Geomugeuk pretended not to win and hinted.

“Okay, but there is one condition.”

“Please speak.”

“Self-discipline is a prison sentence. As long as Cheonhwamun’s loyalty does not change, I will postpone the beheading.”

It wasn’t forgiveness. Because life in the Heavenly Demon Church’s prison will bring greater pain than death.

At those words, Seo-cheong was frightened and started running wild again.

“Please save me! why me! Why should I just kill a few insignificant things? “Please save my father!”

Although he had lived his entire life as a no-nonsense soldier, this was the moment when he tasted the fear of the real world.

“You hypocrites! “You guys are killing so many people, so why can’t I just kill myself?”

Seo Baek-jung sighed. The son looked like he was shouting as the Shinigami was whispering in his ear.

In the end, Seo Cheong also cursed Seo Baekjung.

“Where in the world is the father who abandoned his child? What kind of faction can you lead on a topic like that? “You bastard!”

It was the moment when the connection between the two people was completely severed.

Seo Baek-jung thought that this might be a better way for Cheonhwamun. Cheonhwamun will continue to function well, and my son is still alive. That’s it then.

Seo Baek-jung controlled his mind like that.

At that time, Gwangseom, who had not said a single word until now, approached with great strides and called out to Seo Baekjung.

“Seomunju.”

The moment when Seo Baek-jung inadvertently turned towards him.

Love it!

Suddenly.

Gwangseom cut him down with a single sword. It was so fast that his sword was not even visible.

Everyone was surprised because no one expected him to kill Seo Baek-jung. In particular, his son Seo Cheong was shocked. He sat there in contemplation, fearing that he would be next.

Gwangseom bowed his head to Bisain and spoke briefly.

“Sadokgeom was my agenda. “I will accept the punishment for moving without receiving orders.”

Even Sword Dance Geuk didn’t know that fact. When the indifferent sky pays attention to the world, there is no escape.

Geomseon, who was watching this, sent a message to Hyeolcheondoma.

-Did you create this situation?

Throughout today’s meeting, I thought that Hyeolcheondoma had sent a message and planned a plan. To Geomseon, Hyeolcheondoma was remembered as that kind of person.

―I hope so too, but…

Hyeolcheondoma is not the kind of person who would lie about something like this.

The swordsman’s gaze turned to the sword dance.

-I guess I should live a long time.

He realized too late that even he had acted according to the will of the sword dance.

-If you meddle like that, you won’t hear good things from young people.

-It’s okay.

This is how Cheonhwamun was organized.

With Seo Baek-jung dead and Seo Cheong imprisoned, the new head of Cheonhwamun will be someone who follows the Heavenly Demon Church.

Everyone’s attention was naturally focused on the sword dance.

Today’s sword dance was completed. Because he absorbed Cheonhwamun and received the punishment for Seocheong’s sins. He was smiling and standing there without any tension, and now I felt like a different person.

If someone says that 9 times out of 10 rumors are exaggerated, at least the people here will shake their heads and say this. The only remaining one is sword dance.

Jinha and Bisain slowly walked towards Geommugeuk and stood facing each other as if forming a circle.

Just like the meeting, it was the moment when the first farewell of the three successors in the history of Moorim was about to begin.
