Chapter 161
Episode 161: Dragon King Emperor (2)
A palanquin made using cursed gold moves through the fog.
“Shhh!”
“Shhh!”
“The Dragon King’s messenger has arrived!”
It was truly a bizarre procession.
The sound of drums pounding. A strange, gurgling sound of breathing. The atmosphere is noisy, as if a festival has taken place, but none of the ‘people’ living in the village are looking ahead.
“Hee hee, hee hee!”
Sometimes, you can only hear the moans of someone who can’t stand it and is going crazy inside the house.
The houses where ‘people’ lived had their doors sealed with mud and gold wire. People who have locked themselves inside their homes are holding their breath and praying for the terrible procession to pass.
“Shhh!”
“Shhh!”
“The Dragon King’s messenger has arrived! Anyone who wants to welcome the Dragon King by climbing the sea well, follow us!”
A terrible procession of people who abandoned their humanity and chose an immortal life passes by.
The procession soon left the village and reached the mountain path where Kim Shin-hwa had wandered. A fog filled with sticky moisture and poison.
It is a place where humans would have felt pain just by walking for a moment, but no one in this procession felt uncomfortable.
Rather, the higher the humidity, the louder the sound becomes.
Biheejin made a gurgling sound for a moment and sucked in the air full of moisture and fishy smell and then said.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… … . “Last year, there was some rebellion, but this year it’s extremely boring.”
Bi Hee-jin spoke to the village head who was walking next to the palanquin.
“But when is Yongsu coming?”
“I received a call. “I will arrive before the ancestral rites are over.”
“Hmph, he seems like a stupid half-penny guy.”
Yongsu is the liaison between Insu Village and the outside world.
He is a mixed race of deep sea people, a disciple of Bihuijin, and at the same time a cult member who serves Dagon.
This time, he was given the task of transporting goods from Insu Village to Incheon and ‘purchasing’ offerings, but instead of Yongsu, a strange stranger came.
“What is Bihi (贔屭)-”
An unfamiliar voice suddenly heard.
what? Bi Hee-jin turned her head and looked in the direction from which her voice was heard.
Kim Shin-hwa, who was lying in a corner of the golden kiln, was muttering to herself.
“One of the nine children of the dragon. “It resembles a turtle and likes to carry heavy things.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr’
Bi Hee-jin scratched the scales under her chin with her claw-like nails and examined Kim Shin-hwa.
“There is a legend that there was a dragon with evil powers in Gyeonggi-do or Chungcheong. The dragon began digging a tunnel under the mountain to bring disaster to the world-”
“Grrr, what are you saying?”
“-The moment when that oyster finally extends all the way to the West Sea. “There will be a great flood.”
“Grrrrrrr, purr… … .”
Bi Hee-jin convulsed in a strange way. Her movements were enough to cause fear in many people, but she just burst out laughing.
I thought he was saying something meaningful, but it turned out to be just a madman’s nonsense.
“You came in confidently on your own feet and played a trick, but you ended up like this too.”
Kim Shin-hwa continued to mutter with a blank expression.
This happens often. In the past, there were strangers who came to visit us as pseudo-men, but they could not bear the hideous appearance of Bihuijinin and the bizarre atmosphere of the Yongwangje and often went mad or fainted.
Kim Shin-hwa, who came out into the yard, had a seizure and collapsed as soon as she encountered Bi Hee-jin.
“Yes, you land animals are born with a weak mind from the beginning.”
Bi Hee-jin grabs Kim Shin-hwa’s wrist with his large, scale-covered hand. Fingernail marks on a slender wrist. Yes, yes.
It’s not that there weren’t people who pretended to be shameless and strong, but it’s always like this. You can’t stop the madness that invades your mind.
“It would be much happier to become one with the sacred well of the sea than to continue living a miserable life.”
As if reacting to those words, Kim Shin-hwa muttered again.
“… … The residents of discovered a well with salty water and offered prayers, thinking it was a well that would reach the Dragon King of the West Sea. This was called Yongjeong (龍井) or Haejeong (海井).”
“Grrr.”
I feel strangely bad. Kim Shin-hwa’s voice is becoming clearer.
The procession eventually reached a huge wooden house built on a mountain. Perhaps sensing something, Kim Shin-hwa trembles for a moment.
It’s a shrine.
“Grrrrr. Can you feel the magic of the great sea? Look, human.”
Bi Hee-jin grabbed Kim Shin-hwa’s head with her large hand and turned it around.
“Do you see the prison over there? Seven of your compatriots, whom you gave to us, are imprisoned. “Grrr, grrrr.”
Kim Shin-hwa does not respond. However, Bi Hee-jin continued speaking, revealing her sadism.
“Grrr, I don’t know what you planned or what you prepared, but it’s over now. That’s right. You sold your own people to infiltrate this far, but failed, and this is what happened. Now I will throw you and your people into the sea well. Do you understand?”
Shinhwa Kim said:
“I offered seven sacrifices, according to the number of stars, and I offered one more, making it eight. “It is said that this is the number that pleases the Dragon King.”
“Grurg, stop, now shut your mouth. human.”
He’s a crazy guy anyway. It’s no fun anymore. I don’t know if it wasn’t a situation where the limbs had to be sacrificed intact… … .
Bi Hee-jin licked his lips, let go of Kim Shin-hwa’s head, and stood up.
If he had been a little more careful, he might have discovered something strange about Kim Shin-hwa.
Kim Shin-hwa’s pupils are moving little by little under the mask that resembles the face of a deep sea person. As if you were reading some text.
Bi Hee-jin shouted towards the shrine.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Children of the sea! Open the door to the shrine! “Let’s complete the ritual for the Dragon King!”

The huge door of the shrine opens with a heavy crackling noise.
A growling sound coming from beyond the door. And a clanking sound.
The ones that came out of the shrine were complete deep-sea people like Biheejin-in.
Fish-like, frog-like, turtle-like, shark-like, crocodile-like, whale-like.
Monsters with pale scales and huge, round eyes walk out one after another.
That number alone is already over thirty.
Including the mixed race people who will one day grow into deep sea people, there are close to a hundred sea monsters gathered around.
Bi Hee-jin thought of something to say that would make them happy.
“Once today’s ancestral rites are over, there is no need for any more humans in the village! Thank you for following me so far! “Let’s have a banquet tonight with meat from land animals!”
“Waaah!”
“Aaaah!”
“Grrr, purr!”
“Grrrr, grrrr, gurg!”
Bi Hee-jin spread his arms to the left and right, as if trying to enjoy the deep sea people’s cheers with his whole body. Yes, yes. Be more happy and shout more.
“Pore (蒲牢)! “Come out and bring the sacrifices!”
Cooung- Boom! The sound of heavy footsteps.
The side door of the shrine opens, and a deep-sea person called Po-roe comes out.
“Guoooooo!”
A deep-sea person with a bizarre shout and an appearance that is significantly different from others. It’s a huge creature that seems to be twice as tall as other deep sea people. Dull, thick, pitch-black scales. A bloated forehead that protrudes forward and a huge mouth that opens wide. It was a deep sea person that somehow resembled a whale.
But Po-roe’s foreign appearance is not important.
Seven humans are dragged out by a rope held by Po-roe in one hand.
The cheers of the deep sea people reach their peak.
The village head, who was cheering next to the palanquin, suddenly feels a strange sense of strangeness.
‘Why are those people so fine?’
Luminescence, screaming, incontinence, fainting. It’s a common reaction. In the Dragon King Festival that had been going on for so long, capturing the humans who were so convulsive and riotous became a form of entertainment.
But they just cower and tremble, and don’t even scream out the usual screams.
The village head is the only one who senses something strange.
Others are trembling with religious joy, responding to Bi Hui-jin’s speeches and instigation.
Po-roe, who was leading a live sacrifice, suddenly felt a strange sense of strangeness.
‘this… … . what… … . It’s a sound… … .’
Poroe is not a hybrid born between a human and a deep sea dweller.
It is a monster born between a whale and a deep-sea person. Because of this, they are less intelligent than others. However, along with a very different appearance from other deep sea people, they have some special abilities.
One of them is hearing.
Po-roe has a hearing so sensitive that it is almost like a super sense.
Kirilik- Pap deuk. Between each other-
Po-roe turned his head and looked at the humans following him. Strange sounds come from human bodies. A strange sound that sounds like glass, metal, stone, wood, etc. rubbing together.
To be exact, it is a sound heard inside the human body.
Bi Hee-jin, who was savoring the cheers of the people of the deep sea, suddenly feels a strange sense of strangeness.
‘What is that?’
There is a thick fog everywhere. Therefore, the field of view is extremely narrow.
A strange shadow-like thing can be seen on the roof above the shrine.
What is that? bird? bat?
No, if it were something so trivial, I wouldn’t have been interested. From a land animal that doesn’t know whether it’s a bird or a bat… … .
Can you feel the magic of the deep sea?
The flag bearer, who was standing holding a flag embroidered with Dagon’s symbol, suddenly feels a strange sense of strangeness.
‘Why is that person moving like that?’
One of the sacrifices that was being dragged by Poroe began shaking his head violently from side to side. Although he is said to be a descendant of the sea, he was originally human. You can at least recognize that the movement is not humane.
The human sacrifice, shaking its head from side to side, opens its mouth towards the gun and makes the sound “ah-ah-ah-”.
Ah, I see. This is a common occurrence. A terrified human being goes crazy and screams. It is one of the important entertainments of the Dragon King Festival.
And another deep-sea mixed race suddenly feels a strange sense of heterogeneity.
‘Is your mouth opening too wide?’
What is that? What’s going on?
The mouth of the human following Po-roe opened strangely. I can’t open my mouth… … Crackling – the skin of the mouth, or rather the face, is torn, revealing a bizarre metal structure.
A huge frame? Torture instrument? A trap for hunting bears? Nails, saw blades, thorns, blades and shards of glass lodged horribly into the jaws of metallic structures.
Kwazijic!
Sigh!
A huge amount of blood spurts out. The human who was supposed to be a living sacrifice bit off the back of Poroe’s neck.
“Grrrrrrrrr!? “W-what is that!?”
The scream of some deep sea person.
“Guoooooo!!”
This is Po-roe’s scream.
Cracking, cracking – the jaw force was strong enough to tear off scales and flesh in one bite, but the nape of the neck was so thick. It wasn’t close to the bone.
“Guoooo!!”
Po-roe lets out a roar and tries to tear off the human biting the back of his neck. No, is this even a human being? It is a monster with a huge metal structure attached to a human body.
Starting with the commotion, the living sacrifices tied to the ropes begin to move in a bizarre manner.
Crackle-crackle-crackle-
Joints that move in a way that even deep-sea people, let alone humans, can’t imitate. Some even turn their necks and bend their waists backwards.
Excessively heterogeneous and bizarre movements.
Eventually, one of the deep sea people ends up screaming.
“Grrrrrrrrr! monster! “It’s a monster!”
Crackle-crackle-crackle-
The skin of the living sacrifices is torn, and saw blades, thorns, and other ugly-looking miscellaneous items emerge.
And then jumps towards the deep sea people. They are monsters with terrible shapes. It’s not their attack, just a slight bump will kill you!
The shouts and screams of deep sea people erupt from all directions.
“Grrrrrrrrr! W-what are those monsters!?”
“How about humans? Grrrr, how could you turn into such a monster!?”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! “You’ve been pretending to be human all this time!”
The people of the deep sea, who were experiencing religious illusions and a sense of extreme exaltation, were unable to accept the sudden change in the situation and fell into uncontrollable chaos.
shambles. In this thick fog, up to 100 deep sea people are screaming and running in all directions.
“You half-penny! Wake! “What are they doing!”
Biheejin tried to control the confused deep sea people by shouting, but he was helpless. stop! This is the last sacrifice! stop! What’s happening! Why did this happen!?
Then, a human voice is heard from behind him.
“Hey, there’s a kid who’s surprised that a human has turned into a monster. “Is that what you guys are going to say?”
A sarcastic voice. This is Shinhwa Kim.
