Absolute Regression

Episode 46: The person who deceives people.

I was standing in the middle of the training center with my eyes closed.

Through the collaboration with Geomjon, the Bicheon Sword Technique surpassed the walls of the Ten Saints and entered a new realm.

Before, when I think of Bicheon Geombeop, it was tightly structured without any errors from beginning to end, but now it feels like what was tightened has become loose. As doubts arose about my perfect herbivorous diet, my confidence disappeared.

I slowly drew out the black magic sword and began to use the Bicheon sword technique. However, this does not mean that existing skills have disappeared or decreased.

A brilliant sword light filled the training hall. What will this splendid martial arts look like if it becomes the Twelve Saints?

Crucially, I am aiming for the Nine Fire Magic Gong Twelve Stars.

Therefore, I hoped that the experience of achieving the Twelve Saints of the Bicheon Sword Technique would be of great help in the future achievement of the Twelve Saints of the Nine Fire Magic Gong.

When I finished training like that, Seo Daeryong hurriedly came and reported.

“An incident occurred.”

“What incident?”

“I think each Lord should go and see it for himself.”

The place that Seo Daeryong guided us to was a nearby mountain.

Enforcement officers had already come out and controlled the area.

Gok Myeong, a special investigator who came to the scene first, reported with a serious expression.

“More than a dozen freshly buried bodies were found.”

The problem was that they were not ordinary.

“The hearts of all the corpses are disappearing.”

The moment I heard that the heart was gone, I thought of one great method.

The Great Law of the Heart and Soul.

It is a great method of absorbing vital energy from a person’s heart, and the process is known to be truly cruel. It was a great method of pulling out the heart of a living person.

And there was only one person in our school who could use that method.

Subsoul Mazon.

When I returned to rescue Bimahon, there was a brief rumor going around that Subhonmazon was using the Heart and Soul method to gather ghost energy.

However, it was just a rumor and the truth about it was not revealed. I was also at a time when I was only running towards Bimahon, so I didn’t have time to dig into him.

‘Could it be that the rumor was true?’

When I imagined the scene of taking out the heart of a living person, I naturally frowned. But what really made me angry was somewhere else.

Seo Daeryong reported carefully.

“But when I looked at the corpses, it looks like they were not trained in martial arts.”

“Ordinary people?”

“yes. “They are mixed together without any distinction between men and women…”

Seo Dae-ryong sighed and added.

“Among the corpses… there is also a child.”

For a moment, my heart went cold. It’s the thing I hate the most.

A martial artist touches people who have not learned martial arts, even children. This is such unreasonable one-sided violence.

Whether it’s a surprise attack among the soldiers or a swarm, it’s a mess of people who have jumped in with the risk of defeat.

Actually, if you know me, I’m not that much of a just person, but at this point, it’s strangely unbearable.

What if these corpses are really victims of the Great Law of the Heart?

When I returned to the main school to find Bimahon, I heard a rumor that Suphonmazon was practicing the Great Law of the Heart and Soul, which means that he had been practicing this Great Law for decades. There may have been thousands or more victims.

If that’s the case… Suddenly, the face of the old man who sent me back came to mind. Revenge is good, but my life is important too.

‘I understand. I don’t know anything else, but I’ll stop this first.’

At that time, another investigator came and reported.

“Look at this.”

What he brought was a fan. When I opened the fan, I saw unintelligible language and a bizarre picture drawn on it.

“This is a ghost ship used by magicians.”

It was a fan used by the disciples of Suphonmazon for magic.

“Where was it found?”

“It was with the body.”

It was a moment when it became even more clear that it was the work of the Seobhonmazon.

But at the same time, I had doubts.

The person in charge of disposing of the body dropped his fan?

“Where is the herbalist who found the body now?”

“I put it on standby over there.”

“let’s go.”

But the herbalist had disappeared somewhere.

“It looks like he ran away because he was scared. “I’ll look for it right away.”

I had a feeling I wouldn’t find him.

Somehow this doesn’t seem natural.

Even though it is our school, we cannot openly practice the practice of digging out a heart from a living person’s body. Therefore, the Sub-Hon Mazon must have handled matters related to Dafa really thoroughly, right?

But the body was found by an herbalist and even the fan fell away? No way. Someone had figured out where the body was buried and had it found.

“Now that the evidence has been found, we should go to Seohwanjin and investigate the owner of this fan, right?”

Seo Dae-ryong was very scared.

“Are you afraid?”

“yes. “I am most afraid of the Soul Mazon in our school.”

“why?”

“If I get attacked by witchcraft, my soul will be taken away. “It is better to die cleanly with a sword than to be manipulated like a jiangshi and die miserably.”

“What should I do? “I’ll have to come out tomorrow and go to Seohwanjin.”

“As of today, I will quit Hwangcheongak. “Ah, I really don’t want to go.”

“Don’t worry. I will also take the executioners with me. “Choose a few people who are strong in martial arts.”

Seo Dae-ryong shouted.

“Those people are going crazy and are going to kill me!”

Someone even intentionally manipulated me and informed me that the Subsoul Mazon was practicing Heart and Soul Dabeop. I’ll have to check if it’s true, but I think of one person behind this manipulation.

‘Saujong.’

Saujong, the right hand man of Ilhwa Geomjon.

There was a definitive reason why I assumed it was him.

This is because of his impressive ending that came to mind when I first saw Saujong.

Surprisingly, he died while trying to kill Ilhwa Geomzon while under the influence of Seophonjutsu. How could I forget the incident in which the most loyal subordinate fell under the spell of seduction and attempted to kill his master?

It was revealed after he died. That he liked Geomzon as a woman. And it was never revealed who had cast the spell. It must have been a tragedy related to politics, so it was talked about by people and then forgotten.

Another reason to think it is Saujong.

Coincidentally, I recently had a three-day meeting with Ilhwa Geomzon. There must have been something that provoked Saujong.

‘It’s a ploy to prevent me from getting interested in Geomzon because I’m either dying while fighting him or dealing with him.’

I don’t know how they found out where the body was disposed of and stole the fan, but they pushed me into the Subsoul Mazon. Because this incident was something that I, a member of the Netherworld, could not just ignore.

But Saujong wouldn’t know.

While pushing the Subhonmazon, he also entered the stage together.

* * *

The next day, I headed to Seohwanjin with Seo Dae-ryong and the executioners.

Because we had sent a message in advance, a magician was waiting to guide us at Seohwanjin.

“It’s called Yeocham (呂參). “Please follow me.”

We walked along with the female lead.

After walking for a while, the moment I entered the flower garden, I stopped.

“for a moment. “I can feel a ghostly energy?”

I stopped my subordinates and looked around. The ghostly spirit was due to the natural flowers planted in the flower garden.

“It’s because of the scent those flowers give off.”

The lady was surprised. This is probably because unless you are an expert with really keen senses, you will not be able to detect the secret nature of naturalization.

“If a person who is not a demon magician is exposed to the demonic energy of naturalization, the operation of internal energy will not be smooth for a while and they will become more susceptible to soul magic. You may experience the side effect of seeing illusions, and if you are unlucky, you may fall into a mental demon. “I don’t want my subordinates to be like that.”

As I raised my black magic sword to unleash my sword energy at once, the female officer shouted.

“Please wait a moment. “I can suppress the scent of naturalization for just a moment.”

He took out a small cylinder from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the flower garden. Smoke rose from the barrel, and the surrounding ghosts flocked to the smoke.

“Let’s pass by now!”

I quickly passed there with my men.

“If I hadn’t told you, we would have gone in exposed to hearing.”

“sorry.”

The female participant lowered her head at my reprimand. Since I knew that he too was in a position to receive orders, I did not question him further.

At that time, Seo Dae-ryong spoke softly behind me.

“Thank you for considering us, Mr. Gakju.”

Looking back, not only Seo Dae-ryong but also the executioners were thankful. If it weren’t for me, everyone would have been affected by demonic energy.

“Everyone, don’t relax.”

“yes!”

Stone statues and towers everywhere radiated magical energy.

As soon as I realized it, the female participant suppressed the ghost on her own.

It was understandable that Seo Dae-ryong was afraid of the Suphonmazon. This is because I almost died trying to meet something.

That’s how we were able to get into the center of Seohwanjin.

The houses built there had a unique appearance. Most of them were houses shaped like snail shells, and they were buildings made up of overlapping circles, something I had never seen anywhere else in the central plains.

Seo Dae-ryong, who was here for the first time, was initially impressed by the exotic appearance. However, soon after, he complained of not feeling well. Just looking at the buildings here made me dizzy.

I told Seo Dae-ryong and the executioners to close their eyes and walk. They walked behind me in a single file with their eyes closed and their hands on their shoulders.

Among the strange buildings was a cone-shaped building. This was where the Soul Mazon lived.

His room was the height of chaos. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all filled with spinning patterns. It was really painful just to be in this room.

The Soul Mazon was sitting in the center of the room.

Subsoul Mazon Yaso (夜素).

I’ve felt it in the past, but he looks really ordinary. It was a face that made me think that if I went to Maga Village right now, I could bring ten people who looked similar to me. What is that kind of normality in this mess?

He seemed like a symbol showing that all people who deceive people are so ordinary.

“Meet the Majon.”

I greeted him politely.

I had no particular relationship with him before returning. Even when I returned to the school to look for Dafa materials, I had no further contact with him. But one thing is clear. He was the one who survived the longest among the Palmazons.

“Welcome, Gongja Lee.”

His voice was heard scattered from all directions. It seemed like it came from the left, and sometimes it seemed to come from the right.

“What happened to the corners of the world?”

This time it sounded like a whisper behind my back.

This confusion in the mind meant that, in a way, it could be said that the meditation on souls had already begun.

“I came to investigate a case.”

Then the soul demon stared at me as if it were staring me in the face.

Suddenly, the black pupils of his eyes grew bigger. As I looked at his eyes, which were all black, I felt like I was going out of my mind. The subordinates who came with him probably seemed to be out of their minds right now.

“Is it okay?”

The voice rang like an echo in a cave, as if it were a thought in my mind.

“I often hear that the core is hardened.”

Of course, it was because of that, but ultimately it was thanks to the Heavenly Demon Tiger God. The Heavenly Demon Protector activated itself to prevent demonic energy from invading the mind and heart. Of course, since the achievements were not yet deep, the situation would change once the Nie Soul Mazon gave his all.

Before it turned into an unnecessary fight, I quickly announced the purpose of today’s visit.

“A dozen unusual corpses were discovered, and items belonging to a witch doctor were found there.”

“What kind of object is it?”

I showed him the fan.

It seemed like each ship had its own owner. As soon as he saw you, the soul mazon called someone.

“Call Neunghyu (凌携).”

Questions that would normally be asked were omitted. Even though I deliberately emphasized that it was an unusual corpse, the Seobhonma did not ask what was unusual. That is to say.

‘I already know what kind of body it is.’
