Episode 68
Jo Moo-geon was a persistent but also simple guy.
He kept asking me questions about Kangsoo for the past few days, but because I was so shameless, he ended up taking a step back.
“Think about it! “Do you think it makes sense for a monster to suddenly pop out of thin air?”
“Well, that’s true!”
“So, I’m just going to drink a little bit and look at nothing like a loser.”
“But the monster itself was not in vain! Because I clearly saw it with my own eyes!”
“I told you. I saw it too. “When I threatened him with a sword, he was startled and immediately ran away.”
“ha! “It certainly looked like the monster came out by tearing through space!”
“what? Tear through space? “Anyway, whenever I drink alcohol, there are always people like this!”
“i get it. “I understand!”
Jo Moo-geon grumbled and pulled out his hair.
If I had known this would happen, Kansu would have insisted that he was just seeing an illusion.
Maybe I even believed it.
Because this guy was really drunk at the time.
By the way, the day of the decisive battle was approaching.
We finally arrived at a village under the jurisdiction of Jeoksamun.
Jo Moo-geon’s role ended here.
To begin with, he was only responsible for escorting me to Jeoksamun, but he ended up becoming my assassination partner.
Thankfully, I received a lot of help from Jo Moo-geon.
As I rehearsed against this guy every day, my plan became more elaborate, and I realized something along the way.
Since starting the 10th floor, there is probably no player who has grown more than me.
“The assassination was carried out two nights later?”
“okay. “If there are no other variables.”
“You really are such a bastard. “I thought it couldn’t be possible, but you actually ended up here.”
“why? “If you’re that worried, you can even go as far as assassinating them.”
“Are you crazy? “If we get caught, we’ll both be in coal mines for the rest of our lives.”
This is the scary thing about the Heavenly Demon Church.
Even if Jo Moo-geon is from a superior background, there is nothing wrong with him if he violates the rules of Protestantism.
At this point, it was time to send Jo Moo-geon back.
“I hope my assassination succeeds.”
“of course! Be sure to kill him! “You have to kill him twice!”
“It’s so obvious, man.”
“… … “I see.”
Just in case, I saved the chicken legs for last.
After I kill Mae Hopyeong, I return to Mount Hapmandae and do it for him.
I don’t know if Jo Moo-geon was really worried about my safety or praying for me to be welcomed by the God of Chi, but in any case, I was grateful to have someone who encouraged me.
“Now, this.”
“What is this?”
Jo Moo-geon expressed doubts about the bundle I held out.
“Let’s grab something to eat on the way back.”
The problem is that I have a very weak heart to already throw out the final card like this.
And with this weak heart, I have to kill someone two days later.
* * *
First of all, I was planning to start from that street.
Even though the places where people live are all similar, I still wanted to familiarize myself with the atmosphere of the village where I would perform the assassination.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to hear about the popular reviews.
And another important thing.
I was desperate for a bowl of soup.
I had been eating so much seasoned chicken to appease Jo Mugeon, and now I was getting sick of just looking at the chicken.
Whether it was meat soup or vegetable soup, eating a bowl of rice in hot soup seemed like happiness.
This place, governed by Jeoksamun, is the largest village in the vicinity.
It must have been market day, as I saw people crowded around the long lined street.
The noise of all kinds of people chatting absolutely tickled my ears. however.
‘uh?’
A somewhat familiar voice.
Among all the sounds mixed together, there was one voice that particularly stimulated my hearing.
[Other players are active nearby.]
The notification message that rang right away showed me that my thoughts were not wrong.
‘Kim Se-yong?’
Clearly, the main character of this voice was Se-yong Kim.
Looking back, I realized that Se-yong Kim was assigned to [Sapa] when he started on the 10th floor.
And this is the village where the Jeoksamun, the main sect of Sapa, is located.
As I followed the voice and approached, it became even clearer.
Fuuuuuuuck!
The cheerful sound of the blow was followed by exclamations from the crowd.
“How many people is this!”
“Was there a guy like that among the new members of the Jeoksamun?”

It was an incredible coincidence.
The new member of the Jeoksamun that people are talking about is none other than Kim Se-yong.
The guy shouted, bobbing his head with a dignified expression.
“next!”
According to the message, that guy is currently on a mission.
I felt like I knew roughly what it felt like.
The group on the other side of Kim Se-yong hesitated and took a step back little by little.
“what! Are you scared already? “Where is the spirit that came into our area without fear going?”
Se-yong is a bastard. I’m so immersed.
There is no reason for me to have that much of a sense of belonging to the Jeoksamun.
“all… … “I’ll come back next time!”
In the end, the gang that was dealing with Kim Se-yong retreated.
He too has been living a successful life as a martial artist until now.
Looking at the status window, I have achieved quite a bit of success.
Seeing that his magic power had increased significantly, he seemed to be maintaining good mental health, and his basic stats were improving evenly.
– Seyong. 20 meters at 5 o’clock.
Many watching eyes first announced my location through telepathy.
Since I’m here to assassinate, it would be difficult to attract people’s attention.
“Hoyoung hyung!”
Even though the attempt was meaningless, the guy reacted simply.
-You idiot! Don’t look at me! Did they send telepathy for no reason?
* * *
Kim Se-yong had become a promising new warrior in the Jeoksamun.
The role he played today was to eliminate one minor force that was trying to exert influence on the streets.
“look good. Seyong?”
“brother! I guess I have a martial arts constitution. I would rather stay here than go back to that damn tower. “Kkkkkk.”
“Unfortunately, it won’t be long. “I’ll be heading back soon.”
“Oh no! It always happens that way when my brother says something like that. Anyway, what brings you here? “My brother belongs to the Demonic Cult!”
“What could happen? Of course, I also came to carry out a mission.”
“mission? “What on earth is this about that brought you all the way to Sapa District?”
“To kill someone.”
“Is it possible that the person we need to kill is someone from our side?”
“uh. “It’s very popular.”
“what?”
Kim Se-yong looked like he had seen a ghost at my words.
The guy from Jeoksamun probably knows better than me.
How powerful is Mae Hopyeong, the eldest son of Munju here?
“it’s crazy? “No matter how old you are, that’s nonsense!”
“You don’t trust me?”
“This is not that kind of problem! “No matter how much it is an assassination, the level itself is so different!”
Looking at the guy’s reaction, it seemed like the rave reviews were really strong.
But I have also become stronger than before.
I learned Hwamyeong Shingong, a high-level mind technique, took one of those elixirs that are said to be rare these days, and even obtained a cotton treasure that will make my Martial Spirit Soul Sword smoother, so there was truly remarkable progress.
Anyway, it was a great luck to meet Kim Se-yong here.
Because it is now easier than expected to obtain information about each favorable review.
“Seyong, you need to cooperate with me.”
“If you want us to fight together, I can’t do it.”
“Man, I don’t even want that. First of all, where is Mae Hopyeong’s frequent destination these days? “I heard he can’t live without alcohol and women.”
“Did you even know that?”
According to Kim Se-yong, the place he goes every day these days is Unwolgwan.
“There’s a girl there named Se-hyang, an educational gisaeng whom Mae Ho-pyeong is completely obsessed with.”
“If you’re an educational gisaeng, aren’t you still a child?”
“that’s right. “I’m only sixteen now.”
Sixteen years old made me sound like a crazy person.
If it were Earth, I would still be in middle school.
What is even more shocking is that it was Mae Hopyeong’s design to put a gisaeng named Sehyang in Giru.
Sehyang’s father cleverly made the Jeoksamun clan into Goyul’s debt.
“The usury business is not the only thing that Jeoksamun operates. “There are more than ten gambling tables that are being operated secretly, and the nearby Giru are all under the jurisdiction of Jeoksamun.”
“Anyway, those three are all cleverly connected.”
“that’s right!”
“So this is how a gisaeng named Sehyang got into Unwolgwan, right?”
“uh.”
“Are you working under that trash?”
“uh? “Why are you talking like that all of a sudden?”
“Anyway, that guy named Mae Hopyeong. “It’s clear that he’s worth dying for.”
“That’s right. “The problem is that it’s too strong.”
* * *
A dark autumn night.
The rain fell in droves.
I was a little worried about the unexpected weather conditions.
I wonder if Mae Hopyeong is stuck at home because of the weather.
“Sehyang! I came today too because I wanted to see you. Wahahaha.”
But it’s useless.
This guy was a guy who was perfect at getting in and out of the base, whether it was raining or snowing.
Mae Ho-pyeong visited Unwol-gwan again today, and again tonight, he invited Se-hyang to his room.
‘Finally D-Day.’
Preparations had already been completed.
I visited Unwolgwan for the past two days and familiarized myself with all the geographical features, and also checked the route that Maehopyeong would travel along.
And another important thing is the role of Sehyang.
The difficulty of today’s assassination was going to be determined depending on whether this girl did as I said.
-What should I do tomorrow?
– All Sehyang needs to do is be courageous. Take a deep breath and mix a drop of this into the alcohol you will drink.
– Is this possibly poison?
– yes. It is a poison that has no taste or smell and does not cause an immediate reaction.
– Wouldn’t it be dangerous? Martial arts experts say they can tell right away when they eat it.
– You can rest assured. Because this isn’t that toxic. It just makes it take a little longer to get rid of the intoxication.
Last night, Sehyang accepted the silver poison poison I gave her with trembling hands.
Common, highly toxic poisons could not be used against Mae Hopyeong.
If successful, the effect will be certain, but you will notice it right away.
If you have a good reputation, you will be able to immediately create internal energy and drive out intoxication and toxicity at the same time.
– Are you really able to kill every favorable review?
– I promise. I will definitely kill Mae Hopyeong tomorrow night. Mr. Sehyang, if you would do me a favor, it would make things a little easier.
– … … Then I will do it.
There is one more reason to kill Mae Hopyeong.
Although she was just a girl from an unfamiliar dimension called Moorim that had nothing to do with me, I somehow wanted to protect her.
The reason I asked Se-hyang to take the silver poison was not only because of the convenience of assassination, but also because I wanted her to do something herself.
I wanted to give a chance to a girl who had been helpless and unable to do anything.
I held my breath, got caught in the rain, and hid in the corner of the road where Mae Hopyeong would be moving.
I developed my absolute hearing and kept an eye on what was happening in the room where Mae Hopyeong was.
The lasciviousness of the rave reviews and the girl’s awkward forced smile contrasted throughout.
Sijin has waited so long for all the positive reviews. and.
‘at las.’
Every favorable comment came out.
It is still unknown whether Sehyang truly mustered up courage.
My eyes caught the sight of Mae Ho-pyeong, who was quite drunk and reeking of alcohol.
The guy headed towards the back yard and whistled.
The unsteady steps felt even more vulgar.
The whole situation was perfect.
It is exquisitely similar to the time when I practiced with Jo Moo-geon.
With the rain pouring down, it was a perfect atmosphere for an assassination.
