Side Story Episode 115. Apostate (3)
Until about thirty years ago, black demons did not exist.
In the existing Heavenly Demon Church, there was no need for a unit solely for assassination. To begin with, since he was the leader of the Demonic Murim, there were a huge number of assassination organizations that would act if he gave an order, and the atmosphere of Shingyo itself was not suitable for assassination.
Such a heterogeneous organization was created by Jo Baek-cheon, the religious leader of the time.
It was enough to become a source of controversy, but no one objected to the religious leader’s order to make it himself.
In this way, the Black Demon Corps was filled with magicians who were good at hiding and people who had learned various specialized knowledge.
“He is a person who escaped thirty years ago. As you said, you probably don’t know anything about the circumstances of our school.”
It was said that they did not know whether the existing unit or a new unit would come.
“They don’t know.”
Su Gong’s eyes sparkled.
“The organization behind them probably knows?”
“To begin with, the Black Devils are not a very closed unit. Are there one or two things that Protestants do that leave no trace? “The unit’s existence must have become known somehow.”
“hmm.”
“Even if you don’t know, who knows if you would be learning the same magic skills as you were 30 years ago, even if you were in the same unit.”
“That’s true.”
“However, looking at this place called Baekun Mountain and the words and actions of the old horsemen, it would not be unreasonable to say that we know to some extent the existence of the Black Horse.”
Su Gong frowned.
“It’s complicated. In any case, it seems to be a somewhat correct guess that the reason they targeted you and us was to obtain information about the Shinto religion or magic arts that they did not know about.”
“Or, there may be other reasons. “To be certain, you have no choice but to take risks.”
“danger?”
Lee Cheon-sang said calmly.
“Please attach an operator who is skilled in or has a good sense of engine control. “I will personally go to the place where the old pastor escaped.”
Sogong’s eyes widened.
“You want to be bait?!”
“That’s right.”
“It’s too dangerous!”
“It’s a risk worth taking.”
“but… … !”
“That way, we can figure out whether we should receive more support or proceed on our own.”
“It would be better to get more support. “The dark demons don’t care about fame or anything like that.”
“It’s not about discipline or reputation. If we call in a support unit and they prepare a bigger trap, wouldn’t this side possibly suffer losses? “If their goal is truly to steal information and demonic power.”
“… … !!”
The scope of thinking is different.
Sogong opened his mouth like a carp. Lee Cheon-sang said.
“The sooner the better. “We can’t back down, and the other side will be much more flexible.”

widely. Crack!
Sparks flew up.
Eomgung, who was quietly looking at the bonfire, opened his mouth.
“The wind is particularly cold.”
His heavy voice was truly pleasant to hear.
“I remember this time last year. “We were shooting around here back then too.”
There was no answer.
Uhm Gung smiled. It was a bitter smile.
“Probably, when the political faction bastards see us, their eyes will become the size of saucers. “I hope they don’t know we’re doing this.”
Only then did a voice come from quite far away from the campfire.
“Why do we do this?”
The voice was much thicker and lower than that of Eom Gung.
A sound that shows traces of time. Just listening to it made me feel like my stomach was rumbling.
“Is that so? “Because what we are doing is no different from the path of righteousness that those damn political factions are crying out for.”
“… … .”
“Sometimes it’s disgusting because we seem to be more of a political faction than those people who talk about consultation and justice.”
“It’s not a negotiated map.”
“hmm?”
“What we do is not consultative guidance.”
Uhm Gung chuckled.
“They saved a family of herbalists who had fallen down a slope, and they are generously providing financial support to lawmakers who are struggling to make a living without anyone knowing. “When the nearby black islanders went on a rampage, we secretly cleaned it up, and we buried all the bandits who were snooping around trying to find a place.”
“… … .”
“If this is not a consultation map, what is it?”
“At least.”
“hmm?”
“That wouldn’t be fair. “It’s natural.”
“… … .”
“Moreover, it is difficult to say that such a series of actions was a coordinated guide since we knew that such a series of actions would be beneficial to us.”
“There are political factions all over the world who don’t even do that.”
“But we are not in a position to discuss negotiated guidance.”
Uhm Gung sighed.
“exactly?”

“That’s right.”
“We are Mine. “Mine should be like Mine, but I wonder what they are doing.”
“They say people don’t eat or poop just because they’re mine. Before I am a demon, I am a human. “The problem is those who can’t live like human beings, it’s not something we should be proud of because we live like human beings.”
“I’ve never boasted.”
“Then everything you’ve said so far is meaningless.”
Um Gung started the bonfire with a tree branch.
Numerous embers flew high into the sky.
“Eomgung.”
“Please speak.”
“Don’t you miss your son?”
Uhm Gung’s hand that was stoking the bonfire stopped.
His eyes became blurred. Although his expression did not change, his heart seemed to be greatly shaken.
He took a deep breath and asked back in a casual voice.
“Then don’t you miss your disciples who are like your sons?”
“I miss you.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“However, those guys are enough to do their job. “At least they’re not people who will stop by on the street.”
“… … .”
“Before I feel sorry for those guys, I have prepared a way to live in my own way, so Ilshin’s worries aren’t that big.”
“I guess so.”
“But aren’t you different?”
Uhm Gung smiled bitterly.
“I’m sure you’ll be doing well.”
“Shingyo is not an easy place for a child to live without worries. “You know that too, right?”
“I was seven when I joined the church.”
“… … .”
“It was like hell. “I still don’t know how a nameless kid who was sold for a few pennies ended up at the headquarters of the Demonic Forest.”
“… … .”
“From then until I left school, I never felt at ease.”
“I guess so.”
“But it will hold up well. No, I have to believe that I can endure it well.”
“Don’t you want to see it?”
The same question came again.
Uhm Gung closed his eyes.
“I miss you more than words can describe.”
“That’s what a person is.”
thud.
There was a sound shaking the ground.
Uhm Gung turned his head.
A huge old man was sitting against a tree. It was a place where the light of the bonfire could not reach.
And next to the old man’s knees was a huge sword. The large sword, which seemed to make one feel dizzy just by looking at it, was five feet long.
It was not a weapon that could be wielded even if one had mastered the skill. He was a huge soldier of the era, so much so that even a decent expert would have had the experience of being wielded by a sword.
Uhm Gung smiled.
“It must be difficult as expected.”
“I’m just getting older.”
“It makes no sense to hold and wield something like that in the first place. “Since when did you become so strong?”
“Strict, cold, and sometimes cruel. However, Protestantism has never corrupted and become a group of evil spirits.”
Although it was not an answer to the question, Prince Um did not bother to point it out and listened calmly to the old man’s words.
“At least it was like that until he became the leader.”
Uhm Gung’s eyes wavered.
He.
How many people’s fates were changed because of that one person the old man mentioned.
It was all because of him that I immediately left the Protestant church. Is it just that? The owner of that fearsome giant soldier also had to leave the organization he had worked for his entire life because of him.
“I think about it once in a while.”
“… … .”
“If the former leader had not died in vain, if that were really the case… … .”
“… … .”
“If that were the case, our fate wouldn’t have been so different. “We won’t have to suffer this much heartache.”
“There is no point in feeling sorry for the past.”
“I don’t regret becoming obsessed with it even though I knew about it.”
“That’s right.”
Ugh.
A blue magic light flashed in the old man’s eyes and then disappeared.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The five evils of criminal law.”
Uhm Gung sighed deeply. A little while ago, it was a lament about the situation between comrades, but now it was an agony as the leader of an organization.
“I couldn’t help it. “Under the current situation, there was no one other than them that could be sent outside.”
“They are not good people.”
“To be exact, they are idiots who don’t know where they will end up.”
“Light and empty space are not bad. “He may have a rough temperament, but he won’t go to any lengths to get the job done.”
“Is that how you saw it?”
“The problem is the two pastoral bastards. They are people who live for their own comfort. “They should not have escaped 30 years ago in the first place.”
Uhm Gung smiled bitterly.
“What can I do? “There is no one.”
“Do you know? “If you look at our strength alone, we boast enough strength to fight two of the nine factions.”
“I am the leader of that organization. “Of course I know.”
“And there’s no one there.”
“That would be the case if we fought an all-out war on a wide plain. “If it’s a fight between factions, we won’t be able to handle even one of the nine factions.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t there so many people running around all over the world day and night to avoid that? That’s why there are no people.”
“If, by any chance, the Five Evils of Criminal Law kill Protestants at random… … .”
For a moment, Um Gung’s eyes became cold.
“What do you think about that?”
“… … .”
“They are so incompetent that we have to worry about whether saying ‘low quality’ is a compliment, and they are enjoying favors under a religious leader who is such an idiot.”
“that… … .”
“Even if they hate the religious leader, aren’t they the kind of people who live to their heart’s content within that damn fence? “It doesn’t matter if we catch just a few and they all die.”
“You are too extreme.”
“That’s why he was able to become the head of our organization. “It’s a difficult position for anyone but a devil to handle.”
Emperor Um looked at the old man with cold eyes.
“For such a devil, what we are doing now seems like a narrow guide, even if it has a purpose.”
“… … .”
“Keep in mind. We are the ones who lost our hometown. “If we work while thinking about the lives over there, we end up dying.”
“Are you going to say that when your son grows up and becomes a member of the unit and comes to visit?”
“… … !”
The old man, who had been quietly looking at Emperor Um’s face, sighed and stood up.
“Get ready.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“A messenger is coming. “It looks like we’ve captured the escape route.”
Uhm Gung also stood up and followed the old man.
A moment later, someone with a black, bloody robe covering his face appeared and knelt in front of the two.
“I’m meeting Commander Eom and Elder Daeryeok.”
Eomgung asked.
“Did you find it?”
“It is said that the current target, Hoan, has appeared near the Po River.”
“It’s Po River… … “For someone so smart to visit his hometown under these circumstances, he must be very tired.”
“I will get directions.”
“Sure.”
Uhm Gung looked at the old man and said.
“Let’s go.”
“That’s right.”
hook!
The three people disappeared from the spot.
