Absolute Regression Chapter 54

Episode 54 It’s not mysterious because it’s embarrassing.

The night was quiet and desolate.

When I entered Hyeolcheondoma’s residence, he was sitting by the window and reading a book.

“It’s the most unbecoming look in the world.”

Hyeolcheondoma raised his head in surprise. Joy spread across my surprised face.

“I guess I’ll have to scold those who stand guard.”

“Don’t do that. “I came in secretly because I wanted to see the elderly quietly.”

He looked at my movements and asked with a puzzled expression.

“Have you just returned to school?”

“yes.”

“Did you come back and find me first?”

“I’m sorry for ruining your emotions, but your father goes to bed early.”

“anyway!”

“Yes, that’s right. “The first thing that came to mind was the old man.”

Then he shook the bottle of alcohol he had brought. It was a drink that Hyeolcheondoma enjoyed drinking.

Drinks were consumed at the back of his residence.

All of the subordinates who guarded the place so as not to be disturbed were bitten.

“Has it already been two months since you left school?”

“It’s been less than two months.”

As I improved my speed during this mission, I was able to shorten the time when returning.

“Is Inspector Seo’s martial arts training going well?”

“A guy the size of a rat is working pretty hard.”

The words ‘pretty hard’ came out of Hyecheondoma’s mouth. This unfamiliar expression clearly showed what their relationship was like now.

“Even though he looks crooked, his heart is straight.”

“You’ve never been crooked towards me?”

“He’s also the type of guy who looks at where to lie down and stretches his legs.”

You will probably be noticed a lot while working hard, and in the meantime, you will still be saying everything you need to say. It seems that Hyeolcheon Doma doesn’t dislike that guy that much.

“But at first glance, I saw that the book you were reading was a poetry collection. Are you really reading poetry?”

“why? “Do you think I’m not good at reading poetry?”

“I don’t know the level, but at least it doesn’t suit me.”

“I also liked books when I was young. “I just forgot about it for a while.”

It’s hard to imagine this skinny and strict-looking person’s younger days.

“What were you like when you were young?”

“Well… it was dark and gloomy.”

“It was similar to the investigator.”

For some reason, Hyeolcheondoma nodded obediently.

“What if it’s like this, what if it’s like that? “It’s a time that has passed anyway.”

Hyeolcheondoma emptied his drink. I filled his empty glass without saying a word. There are no words to comfort me with my regret over the past years. Because it happened to me once too.

“Did what you went do go well?”

“yes.”

“There’s going to be a storm again.”

Is he saying this because he sensed some kind of confidence in the answer of “yes”?

“What do you think you went out for?”

“It’s going to be bloody.”

“You have a serious misunderstanding of me. “I like peace.”

“I like peace too. “The quiet yet bloody peace that comes after everything has been brought down with my own hands.”

I smiled and drank.

“It was nice to get out after a long time. “Would you like to go out for some fresh air with me next time?”

“There are a lot of people who want to kill me when I go out, so I just feel comfortable staying at the main school.”

He poured a drink into my glass and continued talking.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but be careful. “In the battle for succession, if something goes wrong once, it’s over.”

“What will you do if I mess up?”

“What? “I guess I’ll have to give it to the Archduke again.”

“You’re cool.”

“Of course. What would you do if your body was dead and you were only flapping your wings? “I’ll have to go find another body.”

If it was a blood chopping block, it would really be like that. After feeling sad for a day or two, he will show kindness to the Archduke as if he had never done so before. What’s surprising is that even when you imagine something like that, you don’t feel that hateful.

This is the advantage of the Hyeolcheon cutting board. There is no need to worry about whether this person is a good person or a bad person, whether he will help me until the end or whether he will betray me. He’s just the person who will leave if I break down, or the person who will stay by my side.

“Please do me a favor.”

“What?”

“Please drink with me today and all night long.”

“It’s not difficult.”

I got up from my seat.

“You said we were going to have a drink, so where are we going?”

“I will bring you some more alcohol and prepare some snacks.”

“Just let the kids do it.”

“I have something I want to buy.”

I plan to make some amazing snacks for this drinking party. My snack prepared over the past two months.

I decided to kill the Soul Mazon today. No one would have thought that he would be killed the day he returned from his expulsion.

And I will be the one who drank blood and alcohol all night long. Because he will be a witness to my actions.

“I’ll be back soon.”

After leaving the abode of Hyeolcheondoma, I unleashed my dark spirit and launched myself towards the west.

* * *

Subhonmazon was excited today.

It was a heart therapy that happens every time, but strangely my heart started beating fast.

‘Is it because it’s been a while?’

It was the first Heart and Soul Dabeop since Geommugeuk came and threatened me to stop Dabeop.

Because he threatened me by mentioning the Heavenly Demon, I had no choice but to stop practicing Mind and Soul for a while.

Of course, it would be okay if I didn’t get caught, but I felt uncomfortable because the other person was already convinced of the Heart and Soul method.

The news that Geommugeuk was excommunicated only heightened suspicion. Because it seemed like a ploy to reassure himself and then find evidence.

However, my patience reached its limit and I finally resumed the Heart and Soul Treatment today.

Whenever I did heart-and-soul meditation with a gap like this, I always chose a child. Because at times like this, a young heart is the most delicious.

The Subsoul Mazon, who was going down the stairs leading to the secret room, glanced back. I felt like something was following me for no reason and my mind was not stable today.

But there’s no way there’s being followed. This was because the secret art of dark spirit, where one’s own shadow protects one’s back, was unfolding. He assured. Except for the Heavenly Demon, there is no one in this church who can secretly stand behind his back.

The Soul Mazon entered the secret room.

The walls were filled with all kinds of bizarre patterns and letters, and incense with a unique smell was burning everywhere.

A child was sleeping on the central altar of a secret room.

A smile appeared on the lips of the Subsoul Mazon as he looked down at the child. The moment he reached out his hand to wake the child, someone grabbed him by the hair.

‘!’

The Soul Mazon tried to counterattack, but the opponent was moving faster.

match!

The soul mazon’s head turned after being slapped on the cheek.

Only after I helplessly allowed myself to be slapped, I was able to swing my double sword and escape from the opponent’s grasp.

The other person spoke coldly to the Soul Mazon who took a step back.

“I told you not to do it, right?”

Only then did the Soul Mazon know who had hit him. It was a sword dance.

The Soul Mazon caressed his cheek with an expression of disbelief. No matter how surprising it was, it was impossible, shocking, and shameful.

“How on earth did you get in?”

“Because you’re embarrassed, you’re not mysterious at all.”

For a moment, the Soul Mazon was shocked. Normally, he would deceive people with his voice. The sound echoed, repeated, and even whispered.

But now the ordinary man next door looked angry.

“Is this your essence?”

He looked like he was going to get angry, but after taking a deep breath, he regained his composure.

“Even though I misread the scientist, I was very mistaken. Even if you get hit, it’s cheap.”

His voice rang out as he repeated the words, “It’s cheap even if you get hit.” He regained his usual self.

“You’re more like yourself now. This is how it tastes like death. “I was disappointed to see you like that earlier.”

The Soul Mazon was unfazed.

“Mr. Lee, answer my question first. “How on earth did you get here?”

“I followed you in.”

You might think what I said was a lie, but my answer was true.

The Soul Mazon always had his back with the dark spirit secret arts. Even if the Wind God’s Treasure had achieved great success, it was not yet possible to avoid his Dark Spirit’s Secret Art and use the Dark Spirit’s Treasure.

However, when I put the Blood Stabilizing Essence in my eyes, I saw the destruction method of the dark spirit secret art, and the moment I destroyed it, my dark spirit treasure was used. Rather, it was like I was hiding in his shadow.

“What does it matter how I got in? “It’s important why you came in.”

Even in this situation, the Seobhonmazon was able to pull it off.

“If you’re still going to attack the Great Law of the Heart, go away. “Because I don’t know that kind of method.”

“Then who is this child?”

“You poor orphan. “I brought him here to teach him martial arts.”

“You are a coward.”

“what?”

This time I imitated him.

“Coward, coward, coward…”

My voice rang like an echo.

“stop!”

I shot back coldly at his shout.

“How long are you going to pretend not to know? “Does your courage only come from taking the heart out of the body of the weak?”

The Soul Mazon’s pupils instantly became as small as dots.

The surroundings darkened and then became bright, creating a new space.

I was standing on the edge of a cliff.

Hehehe.

The wind blowing from behind tried to push me off the cliff.

“Have you forgotten my warning? “If you see me again, you’ll tell me you’ll never be able to return to the original world.”

His voice sounded eerie, like a haunting sound.

The Soul Mazon created an atmosphere of fear, but I stood tall and wasn’t afraid at all.

“I guess I can’t stand being scared if I don’t scare the other person like this.”

“It’s really amazing. “Even if he is the son of a religious leader, how can he show such spirit at his age?”

His eyes were busy exploring me by repeatedly getting bigger and smaller.

“Are you here to kill me?”

“okay.”

“What on earth do you believe in?”

The words “what to believe” were repeated like an echo. The current echo was not intended to mock me, but to show that his mind was agitated.

Then, as the echo died down, he asked:

“Did the religious leader send you?”

This time, it was a question without any other noise. It would be difficult to think that I would do something like this on my own.

“If they had tried to kill you, your father would have come in person. “Don’t you know your father’s personality?”

As the Soul Mazon nodded, the surroundings became noisy again. His mutterings, the wind, and all kinds of strange sounds were mixed together. It felt like it was revealing his mental world.

“I’m going crazy so let’s talk quietly.”

“This is Confucius’ will, and we must listen to it.”

The surroundings darkened and then became bright again.

He and I were sitting across from each other in a pavilion with a beautiful view. There was even lukewarm tea on the table in between.

“Gongja Lee.”

His original voice He returned as an ordinary man.

“If we have to kill each other, let’s talk openly one last time.”

“Sure.”

“We are Mine. It is also a mazon that reigns over all demons. Is our life so easy that we give choices to the weak? What’s wrong with sucking the hearts of those weak things to become stronger? Isn’t greed our right? “All my choices were for the Heavenly Demon Church!”

If Hwamugi had not come and I had continued to live at the main school, I might have pretended not to have seen this soul mazon. So, if only the school could become stronger, I might have tried to pretend not to notice, using this cause as an excuse.

But my fate has changed. The person I was then and the person I am now are completely different people.

The person who tried to become stronger by taking out the child’s heart became someone who could not drink tea or drink alcohol in the same place. I became a person who could not breathe while breathing the same air.

“It’s a lie.”

“what?”

“The reason you stole the heart was not for the sake of our school. Just so you can survive for a long time. “It is that way now and it will always be that way.”

If he was truly a person who supported the school, he would have taken revenge after his father passed away. But his choice was to survive the longest among the Palmazons. Thousands of innocent lives are absorbed into his tough and long life.

“If you were only looking out for yourself… you became a monster.”

The Subsoul Mazon, who was staring at me, came to one conclusion.

“There’s no way a kid in his twenties or so could understand me so accurately. You can’t follow me and touch my body to avoid the dark spirit secret arts. “You… are not a scientist.”

The Soul Mazon’s pupils, which had been repeatedly growing and shrinking, began to change color. A dazzlingly brilliant purple wave began to flutter from his eyes.

A purple glow emanated from my eyes and penetrated into my soul beyond them.

he asked. His question seemed deep and heavy, like a rumbling from the abyss.

“Who the hell are you?”
