◈Episode 98 But there is still hope (7)
Why is the person who said I stink here?
“That’s it!”
No, it’s kimchi dumplings. I didn’t hear anything. What happened like that?
“Byeok Chang-ho heard what that gentleman said and brought him in.”
Fortunately, I had a friendly explainer named Debra. The explanation here was a bit vague, and I couldn’t hear it properly because I had to leave because I had to go to the bathroom… but I still understood it.
This person, like yesterday, was caught flouting without thinking about the people around him? I thought so!
I just crossed my legs to face the person who suddenly revealed the truth I was hiding. Kankan, who was sitting in front of me, had his head down and was sweating profusely.
The only thing that seemed carefree was the earrings dangling from his ears.
“Look, I have nothing to say. “I’m really grateful that the priest treated me, but I’m going to donate money for it…”
“I didn’t treat you for money.”
Yes, our Inquisitor is a kid who only throws full fastballs. If you know it well, it’s easy to fool around because it’s honest, but if you don’t know it, there’s no such thing as a bulldozer.
“No…”
Thanks to this, Kankan was unable to continue speaking. I don’t know if he was blown away by the cynical attitude from last time, calling it Naville, or if he was unable to come to his senses due to the Inquisitor’s sharp attack.
“I have nothing to talk about.”
Or are you just watching? I took a close look at the teeth that came out after several dry washes. There is a very strong determination somewhere in his eyes.
“We just want to know something. “Maybe I can help you in the process.”
“I already told you. “No.”
The Archmage stepped forward and tried to gently coax Kankan. But the more he did this, the more determined his face became.
“Now that I have received help from the priest, I don’t want to be rude to you. But if it can’t be done, it can’t be done. “Can you please stop getting me into trouble?”
“Hmm. “I guess it’s true that he’s in danger of his life, seeing as he’ll get into trouble if he talks about it.”
“That’s not it…!”
But people are so foolish. What if I get angry at that part? I think anyone with a little bit of sense will notice.
“Then let me ask you one question. “Isn’t the reason you’re ‘in trouble’ really related to King Mu’s rumors?”
“…!”
But it was actually good for us because he was that kind of person. The moment the Archmage struck the final wedge, Kankan jumped up.
His face is more filled with fear than the anger of someone who is forced to say something he doesn’t want to say.
“stop.”
Kankan clenched his fists and looked around. As someone who knew that he was being watched, it was not an unexpected act. It’s just a little late.
“It’s dangerous to go any further than that.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“You have nothing to do with this!”
I slightly uncrossed my legs. fluttering. It was then that the piece of cloth that replaced the wooden door at the entrance to the room we were in moved.
“I caught it.”
When he said he was going to the bathroom, he didn’t mean he was going to relieve himself, but rather he was going to kill the guy hiding in the bathroom.
“That guy…!”
“Eup eup!”
“I see you’re prone to leaving bread crumbs around.”
It wasn’t even one.
I looked at the two humans Dev had thrown away and closed my eyes as if I wasn’t paying attention to the conversation. Even when my field of vision was closed, I could clearly feel that the compartment was throbbing.
“But now that we’ve caught all the rats, let’s talk properly, shall we?”
The story that had been sluggish has finally unfolded.
* * *
“…That’s why it ended up like this.”
There is no way for us to escape this incident since the guard has been discovered and taken in.
Kankan also seemed to realize this and no longer hesitated. He revealed the whole story without hiding anything.
“Such viciousness!”
Naturally, the Inquisitor was the first to get angry. He was also the only one among us who was angry.
“under. “I came here to look for a talented person and ended up dealing with a criminal cartel.”
“You sound like you’re bothered, but you seem to be in a good mood.”
“Nothing gives me greater joy than condemning the wicked who evade judgment and punishment by covering their sins with power and wealth.”
“…I guess everyone but the priest already knew.”
“I only found out about it this morning.”
Dev, on the other hand, just shrugged his shoulders. I thought he was very unresponsive considering his personality, but he seems to have picked up some information.
I knew he would do well even without me telling him.
“I’ll report it. “This is a problem that needs to be reported.”
“That’s not allowed. “It was Seongju who buried this matter.”
“…Not even the lord of the castle has the right to conceal a crime. That too can be punished.”
Kankan made a somewhat puzzled face at the Inquisitor’s words. If I were to put it into words, I would say, ‘There’s no way that’s possible.’ I think it will be about that much.
“That’s stupid. “That can’t be possible.”
Due to being indebted to Kankan, Dev said the words he could not bear to say instead. The Inquisitor raised his eyebrows.
“Why do you think it won’t work?”
“There is no evidence.”
“Isn’t there a clear victim? “There are probably some surviving family members of the deceased.”
“Is it possible that the body still remains? I guess everything was taken care of. And the bereaved families. “Would you really want to testify when your hair might fly off the moment you do so?”
“But you also said you should condemn me!”
“There has to be a condemnation. But it doesn’t work that way.”
If the concealment of crimes due to power could be solved through a corrective law, the chaos in the world would be reduced by half. That didn’t work, so it looks like this.
I thought back to the series of events again, thinking that I couldn’t help Kimchi Dumpling this time.
Most of the clues that have been found so far are related to King Mu. And now the true nature of the incident has been revealed.
But is this really the end? It’s a front line, but the case ends with just King Mu’s corruption?
That can’t be possible. It can never end like that.
If the devil passes without being involved, the name “front line” cries out.
“Measures must have been taken to silence the victims. “If you intrude on them carelessly, their safety could be at risk.”
“…If you ask the temple for protection.”
“The temple may or may not be involved. Even if you are not related, it will be difficult to protect them if they send assassins there. “Because not only church members can come and go to the temple.”
“Then this person! Is this not possible for this person? “Isn’t this person also a victim?”
“If I had come out when I was injured, it would be difficult now. What’s more, if you tried today, didn’t you lose? “Rather than believing it to be true, people will think of it as spreading evil rumors because they can’t bear the revenge of defeat.”
“Ugh.”
I continued to feel a subtle sense of reluctance as the Archmage informed the Inquisitor of reality.
The ‘disturbance’ mentioned by the Inquisitor has not yet been revealed. That kept touching me.
“Damn, I can’t help you either. “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have told you.”
“Hey, Red Mane Sari. “Do you know what would have changed if you hadn’t said anything?”
“But it won’t attract attention from them. “There are no guards attached to you, so no matter what you infer, they won’t notice.”
No matter how much I think about it, it seems like they are connected to the devil. Seeing Dev not saying anything, I thought it was no big deal.
But this kind of thing usually comes back to haunt you later.
“…I can’t do it. “I’ll have to try again tomorrow.”
“…Are you talking about King Mu?”
“okay.”
“No, why…”
“There’s no way to blow this case up unless we make him turn himself in! In that case, we should at least force it to stop so that there are no more victims…!”
“I’m sorry for saying that. “I don’t think this show will work with your skills.”
“@(%#*%#(!”
Is there really no more connection?
“Is there really no way? Do you really have to leave that criminal alone like this?”
“Hmm.”
“Well, it’s a problem because I’m not good at it, Red Mane Sari. It would be possible to break things off in the way that was attempted. Of course, in this case, it would only relieve the victim’s resentment and make it more difficult to make it public.” ”
That’s nothing more than revenge through a loophole in the law!”
“I knew you would say that. But there is no way here that you would like.”
“There is a way?”
“It’s even weirder that there isn’t one. The person protecting King Mu now is the backbone of the castle lord who loves King Mu’s career. Let’s destroy King Mu’s career. The inner castle lord will no longer protect King Mu, so if we go that way, we will find a way.”
“Are you trying to take away his championship?”
“That is possible, but it will take a long time. Rather than that, it would be better to lose social respect. For example, if you created a secret that even the Lord of the castle will no longer be able to protect, you will find it and expose it.” Just a
moment. I think I can see Meat Dumpling’s sincerity now, but I guess that’s just my mood.
“The best thing is not to be associated with the devil. It may be possible, but… this is unlikely, so it won’t work. The lord of the castle, who even covers up murder, is so flawed that he can cut off King Mu…”
I was sweating inside as I watched the genre suddenly change to conspiracy and scheming politics.
Death When I think of Bringer Gans, this is correct, but since it is a bit different from what I have seen so far, I felt a sense of distance.
“Is there something like that?”
“No, it started to feel strange three months ago. Before that… I had an accident, but it was like this.” It wasn’t that bad. It won’t be what you want.”
“That’s definitely unfortunate. What’s the last three months? What happened?”
“I don’t know about that… We’re friends, but we don’t open up about our true feelings. ”
“That’s right.”
Dev agreed to Kankan’s words. This made my heart sink even more. I felt like if there were no facts to attack, I would fight with incitement and fabrication!
And if that were the case, the meat dumpling would be destroyed by the Inquisitor…
“Ah.”
“…?”
“Now that I think about it, I felt discomfort from King Mu as well. “Has nothing come out about that?”
Then the Inquisitor asked a question. ‘It exposes greater evil.’ I guess this in itself was offensive to even my honest temperament.
If you make it and spread it, there will be 100% opposition, but if you find it and report it, it’s okay. Because that is the price of sin that must be paid.
“That’s… first of all, it doesn’t exist. Rather, was King Mu like that too?”
“okay.”
But King Mu also felt uncomfortable? Ah, no matter how you look at this, it’s the devil’s face?! You made a deal with the devil!?
“Well, I heard that my skills improved just as I was about to become King Muwangdo champion. “If you look at it this way, it seems like it was natural.”
“What are you talking about?”
Kankan, unaware of the ‘discomfort’ the Inquisitor felt, asked. Dev and the Archmage raised exclamation marks above his head.
“There are several people who said that those wall windows were ‘disturbing’ after they came to this city. “It’s not that the behavior or anything is bothersome, it’s just that there’s something strange about the person when you see them.”
“So you understand?”
“I thought it was Priest Nari’s intuition, so I looked into it just in case, and surprisingly, there is one thing they have in common.”
“What do we have in common?”
“At one point, my skills improved sharply. Just like five years ago, King Mu, who was on par with you, beat you and went straight to the championship.”
“Do you know anything about him? We don’t think this is a coincidence. And now, if it is truly not a coincidence but something involved….”
“There is no bigger scandal than the fact that King Mu became the champion through some trick rather than his legitimate skills. “If this is true, we won’t even be able to cover Seongju.”
Thanks to Kankan’s explanation, I got a piece of the puzzle that I didn’t even know about. I tried to act like I wasn’t interested, but shouldn’t you have shared the information… I’m glad I heard it now.
“…I don’t know much about that trick.”
Beyond that, what on earth does this guy know?
“But… I thought it was a bit strange at the time. “It wasn’t like I had any luck or special training, but I suddenly became stronger… Wow!”
correction. I guess I know something.
“You said earlier that there are people who are annoying. “Are they all fighters?”
“That’s what I heard.”
“Do you know things like names and impressions?”
When Kankan seemed to notice something, Dev quickly presented the data.
“…I can’t read.”
“…I will read it to you.”
Of course, there were some problems, but it wasn’t a big hardship. It just took a little more time.
“That’s right! These guys all did the same! It seemed like there was no reason to become stronger, but suddenly I became stronger! Are you sure!”
“…I guess I got it right.”
“There is no power in the world without a price. “There must be something there.”
“I don’t think I made a contract with the devil. “What matters is what you pledged to gain strength.”
And finally, the way out was opened.
“Heretic Questioner, Heretic Questioner!! Are you here?!”
“…? “What’s going on?”
“Oh, there you are! “Please excuse me for a moment!”
“Brother? What is so urgent…”
“The beacon fire has gone up! The demons have begun the invasion!”
I just thought it was open.
Anyway, life wouldn’t be easy if it ended easily!
