Episode 116 It’s so needlessly beautiful.
While I was eating breakfast, I heard the assassins’ conversation.
“Fisherman.”
“… … .”
“Whether you die this way or that way, it’s all the same. “Brother Fisherman, is there a way?”
The fisherman answered.
“doesn’t exist.”
“If you don’t have anything, please tell me what you know. “We don’t know.”
“How would you know it’s me? Chubu (醜夫, Chunam) will know the most.”
“Brother Chubu, please talk to me.”
Funny enough, the names I temporarily gave them and their actual names were similar.
The fisherman was a fisherman, and the ugly guy was a fisherman.
Chubu said.
“I will speak if the swordsmen and the barbarians agree.”
Geomnyuk probably referred to a swordsman, and wildman sounded like it was referring to a guy with no manners who took off his top.
Geomnyuk and Yain responded one after another.
“If Chubu says something, you should follow it.”
“I will follow you too.”
Finally, the ugly guy spoke to me.
“Look. Hao Wenzhou, can you hear me? I’ll tell you what I know. But I won’t be angry if I tell you what I know. “I’m having breakfast, so I’ll wait.”
I slowly finished my breakfast and then opened my eyes.
“Are you finally ready to talk?”
Chubu looked at me and answered.
“Your body will die anyway. “I’ll give you back the sip of alcohol you took.”
I uncrossed my legs, stood up, grabbed Chubu’s back, and set him down next to the campfire. The rest of the fishermen, swordsmen, and wild men also lifted them with one hand and placed them near the bonfire, then sat down and drank dougangju.
“Say it.”
Chubu said while looking at the flickering flames.
“First of all, you keep calling me Ilwidogang, but I’m just wondering where you got that from. Why do you think Ilwidogang is the name of an organization? Ilwidogang may be a nickname for a person, but it is awkward as the name of an organization. “They talk about being able to cross a river by floating a single reed leaf, but as you know, we don’t have that kind of skill.”
I nodded with a calm expression.
“Keep talking.”
“The term used to refer to the man who manages us is Ilwidogang. We learned about spraying from this man. We are usually spread out, but we have to gather when we are called. After hearing the explanation of the assassination target, people like Old Man Seok, who died earlier, are planning a strategy and sharing information. In fact, Old Man Seok probably knows the most, but he is already dead.”
“What about the farmer?”
“In Old Man Seok’s strategy, the farmer used the knife to kill you last. He was the most skilled expert in this position. What I want to say is that there is no such thing as a headquarters. “The man called Ilwi Do-gang is the center and headquarters.”
I got up and poured some tofu wine into Chubu’s mouth after he spoke at length.
Gulp… … The liquor that made the sound disappeared into Chubu’s mouth. After putting down the empty liquor jar, he broke the seal on the new one and dropped the liquor into the throats of the fisherman, the swordsman, and the wild man.
After sitting down, I spoke to the four people.
“Everyone had a hard time surviving.”
“… … .”
Suddenly, the wild man sighed and shed tears with his eyes closed. The fisherman, Geomnyuk, and Chubu, who saw the wild man crying, also sighed.
I didn’t ask why I was crying, nor did I scold me for crying.
Chubu told me.
“You can’t find it easily even if you look for it. “He always sends people to call us, but how are you planning to find Ilwidogang?”
I answered in a calm tone.
“Have things in the world turned out the way you wanted them to? “I didn’t go looking for the Ilwido River, but you kept looking for me.”
Chubu nodded.
“That’s right. “Because we suffered so much damage.”
“How can I find someone who is hiding so tightly? If you send a spray of water, they will kill you like they did today. On nights when I can’t survive, I only sleep a little longer. “It’s been a long time since I couldn’t sleep comfortably.”
“… … .”
“If the wind shook the window once, I thought the infiltrating spray might have made a mistake, and if a rat passed by the ceiling, I imagined it might be scared by the spray and run away. Suddenly, I started tossing and turning and wondering how to stop the knife shooting out from under the bed. Then, when I look out the window again, dawn is breaking.”
“… … .”
“Even the moon must have seen me tossing and turning several times. If I fall, Haomun will fall, and if Haomun falls, people like you will gain power. The black sword will be twisted like an insect, and the Jeomsoi will be in trouble in the guesthouse. “The kidnapped women will dance their newly learned dance far from their hometown.”
After drinking the tofu wine, I grinned.
“ah… That’s not right. “I can’t stand it.”
I pointed to the campfire with my finger.
“… … It’s warm. Life is inherently filled with small joys like bonfires, but in general, it is cold, hungry, and painful like today. The pain is most likely due to people. Most people are having a hard time even though they are living an uneventful life, but people like you are putting people through hell. While I’m personally beating you guys to death one by one, my madness is deepening day by day. But it’s okay. There is probably no man in the world who can withstand madness better than me. In the end, I win. “That is me.”
I let out a low laugh and looked at the assassins.
“Finally, the taste of Dugangju tastes better because I am drinking with the open-mouthed beasts.”
The cold moon technique was mainly aimed at the upper body of these guys. Because of the heat of the bonfire and the weakened legs, the fisherman, the swordsman, the wild man, and the chubu sat down as if they were collapsing depending on the depth of their inner strength.
I added more firewood to the campfire.
Now, not only was I watching the flickering flames, but the casters who couldn’t find where to focus were also watching the flames of the bonfire.
In life, there comes a time when you are staring at a firework in silence.
That’s it now.
There are people who look at the flame and have to look back on their past lives.
That’s what the assassins are like now.
In the midst of silence, the fisherman spoke one word.
“What a warm campfire.”
The wild man said.
“I’m in vain. “I have no thoughts during this time.”

Geomnyuk responded.
“Does that make sense? “Isn’t there something you think about all the time?”
The wild man nodded.
“Reminds me of rice. All I can think about is food. “I guess I only liked it when I was eating.”
I looked at the wild man and nodded.
“It was insectivorous. “You seem to like food.”
“… … .”
While rummaging through the dry snacks, I picked up a large piece of beef jerky and put it in the wild man’s mouth. The wild man started chewing the beef jerky that came into his mouth.
“You’re eating well.”
The wild man answered while chewing beef jerky.
“I will eat well.”
Geomnyuk asked me.
“Excuse me, is there a master? “He was young and not famous, so those who planned to cross the border or strategize kept making mistakes.”
“There is no master. The reason I’m not famous is probably because most of the people who attacked me died. We, Hao Mun, do not receive bribes, so we have no influence. “Because there was no such thing as notoriety, there was no chance of becoming famous.”
The fisherman asked me.
“How can you run a sect if you don’t get paid in return?”
“If I rob people like you, I can make a lot of money. I don’t know about you, but the leaders always have a lot of money. I’m curious too. I wonder where Ilwi Do-gang spent the rather expensive commission money he had collected. I wouldn’t have written it to you. It’s people like you who are dying. The money is always taken by the higher-ups. If you’re old enough, you should at least know that this is how the world works. Don’t just think about eating on a bad day. Yain, did you understand?”
The wild man answered.
“I understand.”
“What do you know? You bastard. You probably know Bob well. You will know whether this is well-cooked rice or hard-cooked rice. What else do you know other than adding water to scorched rice and eating it? Where did you throw away your top clothes and come back like that? Life is like an ice ball. A bastard who is colder than others. “Pathetic bastard.”
The wild man let out a long sigh.
“Whoa.”
Suddenly, Geomnyuk said this out loud.
“I once raided a place called Buhyangsanjang, and almost all of the Ilwidogang assassins had gathered there. Everyone was nervous because it seemed like there was a pretty strong master. Ilwidogang personally appeared and led the way, and at that time, there was a man who came to help Ilwidogang. “Ilwidogang called that man just once.”
I asked.
“what.”
“I said it was the death penalty without any trace.”
I responded in a bitter tone.
“Is it the absence of scars in the snow?”
“Maybe so.”
Ilwidogang and Dapseomuheun both refer to the state of Gyeonggong. At first glance, you might be suspicious of Kwaedang, but there are no such people in Kwaedang.
“If you have a brother, it means you have a master. These people seem to be a small elite group of murderers. “At least I have to capture and torture Ilwi Do-gang, so the main camp I wanted to know about will appear.”
It seems that Nammyeonghoe in his previous life killed all of these assassins, but was completely destroyed after being counterattacked by Ilwidogang or Dapseomuheun. Ilwidogang must have been quiet because it was trying to raise the assassins that needed to be put to work right away.
I traced memories and events from my past life.
‘Has there ever been a murder investigation this thorough?’
The world of assassins is like a power within a powerhouse, with its own hierarchy, quarrels between clans, and a mixture of rising and falling events.
Of these, the only assassin I know in detail is the assassin king.
‘no way… … ?’
The quickest way to find out which Salmun the Ilwidogang belongs to is to meet King Sal and ask him.
However, I wondered if there was any need to look for him since he would attack Gwangseung and die on his own if left alone.
That’s because the guy named Salwang died with his limbs torn while competing with the Gwangseung right in front of my eyes.
What should not be mistaken here is that King Sal died because Gwangseung was stronger. It is unnecessary to deal with King Sal in my current state.
As I continued to think one after another, I suddenly looked at the expressions on each of these guys’ faces and recited anecdotes related to the King of Sal as I could think of them.
“There is a beautiful valley called Hwaryu Valley. Has anyone heard of it?”
The assassins shook their heads.
“I haven’t heard of it.”
“This is my first time hearing this.”
I said while looking into the eyes of the assassins.
“I heard that after the old Salsu went into retirement, the name was changed to Saryugok (死流谷). It is said that it was originally a nice place to see peony petals falling over the flowing valley, but it is said that corpses often drifted into the valley. Instead of flower petals, it became a valley with death flowing through it.”
“… … .”
“Peony was originally called the King of Flowers. Salsu from Saryugok were often called Salsujiwang (King of Salsuji). What if? “If Ilwidogang is from Saryugok.”
“… … .”
I looked at the fisherman, the swordsman, the wildman, and the Chubu.
“I was deeply involved in something too dangerous. Just in case, I shouldn’t go looking for the main base. Because you might touch the king of flesh. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of any other force that could brainwash you so completely and instill your thoughts, acting, speech, actions, and even thoughts. I think Ilwidogangdo and Dapseomuheundo are Salsu from Saryugok. “What do you guys think?”
I got up from my seat and approached the fisherman.
“Let’s answer each person carefully. “First the fishermen.”
I grabbed the fisherman’s shoulder and looked at his eyes and expression. The fisherman looked up at me and said.
“I think you’re from Saryugok.”
“He said he’d never heard of it.”
“Isn’t it true that Moonju’s horizons are wide?”
I asked in a low tone.
“Was Tougangju delicious?”
“… … .”
I injected Zhanwolbinggong into the fisherman’s shoulder acupuncture point. The fisherman nodded, his chin shaking.
“It was delicious.”
“I’m glad.”
I watched the fisherman turn gray and stiffen, then looked at the swordfish.
“What do you think.”
Geomnyuk looked up at me with a calm expression.
“Excellent insight and insight. Hao Wen Ju.”
“okay? “Does that mean my guess was correct?”
“… … .”
I threw out my sword and hit Geomnyuk on the forehead. Geomnyuk fell down with a thud.
“Ugly guy, what do you think?”
Chubu looked up at me and answered.
“Just kill me.”
“Saryugok is a place that is difficult for me to handle, so why didn’t you just tell me?”
Chubu said with a smile.
“Hao Wen Ju.”
“why.”
“People don’t change easily.”
“Shouldn’t you know how to change when you do favors?”
“How was that a favor? “It was a battle.”
“Oh my… … .”
I giggled and laughed.
“The world doesn’t know me. I get it.”
I pulled and grabbed Chubu’s neck using the suction method and then broke his neck bone. After letting go of the limp body, I looked at the wild man.
“Young man, I tried to feed you a whole pork bone later, so are you going to do this to me?”
The wild man responded with a confused expression.
“I don’t know if it is Saryugok or not. “You only know one latitude and a river, so why did you suddenly kill them all?”
“Yain.”
“Please speak.”
I looked at the wild man with serious eyes.
“You are the most amazing. “You are an excellent assassin.”
The wild man’s eyes were half full of tears as he looked at me.
“What on earth are you talking about…? … .”
“Leave a will.”
The wild man let out a brief exclamation, then spoke to me in a completely different tone.
“There is no will. Lee Ja-ha, the beef jerky was delicious.”
In the meantime, the wild man, who had released the ice ball to some extent, slowly stretched out his hand towards me.
I looked at the assassin’s hand approaching my body, wrapped the blade around the ice ball, and struck the beast’s head.
puck!
Suddenly, the back of my head felt hot and I turned around to see the dizzying moonlight pouring down.
I looked at the moonlight bobbing along the lake and muttered.
“Wow, the moonlight is so beautiful again today.”
