Absolute Regression

Episode 106: When the sleeping god wakes up.

For the time being, Cheonhwaruju was allowed to hide in a safe house used by the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Church. Because it was a place operated with a very secret and sophisticated system, there was no need to worry about her safety.

After saying goodbye to Extreme Soma, she did not forget to ask for Ian.

“Please take good care of the escort.”

Also, looking at this emphasis, it seems clear that what I said about Ian earlier wasn’t just something I said to please people.

“I need an escort to take care of me.”

Tianhuaruju smiled at my joke. I feel that my relationship with her begins from now on.

After parting ways with her, the carriage we rode in started to run somewhere again.

“Soma, those guys could sneak attack again. So be careful.”

“You scientist, be careful.”

“Would I ever be attacked?”

“Now that there is no one who would kill me to piss me off, I might kill Gongja Lee.”

“Are you going to be upset if I die?”

“I guess I’ll have to act angry just to see the leader. Rather, it is a good thing. “No matter what I do, the religious leader will forgive me.”

Although he says it as a joke, he is like lava that might explode at any moment. They’re trying to make that lava explode.

I leaned out the window of the moving carriage. Beyond the rapidly passing trees, I could see a steep cliff in the distance. This is where I climbed up that cliff. There was no place I didn’t go to throughout the central region to find Dafa materials.

At that time, when I thought about life after returning, I thought that I would mainly do martial arts training at the training center, but here I am again passing by. Life seems busier after regression.

While feeling the wind and thinking about my past life, I suddenly looked towards the coach seats.

“You two didn’t say a word, right? “Why don’t we talk?”

Then her electric sound flew away.

―Please don’t do that. It would already be so uncomfortable that I would die.

-so? Are you going to continue to feel uncomfortable?

-It’s easier to just go without saying anything.

It was then. Cheongmyeon suddenly asked Ian.

“How about escort work?”

I was surprised by his question, and Ian was also surprised. Of course, he asked the question out of courtesy to me rather than because he was curious about Ian.

“As you can see, he is not an easy person.”

Cheongmyeon nodded slightly as if he sympathized.

This time Ian asked.

“How are you, Cheongmyeon?”

“I am fine.”

If we had been a little closer, Ian would have said, ‘If you answer like that, what good does that have to do with me?’

But the awkward conversation ended there.

done. This is how it started. Now that the water has been opened, there may come a day when we can see the two of them chatting.

I put my body that had been sticking out the window back into the carriage.

“Would you use the company’s ledger because it’s so vast?”

Knowing how I would respond if he said something like this, he again tried to kill the boss.

“It’s not because of laziness, it’s a personality issue. “I can’t see anything frustrating.”

“Is it because of that frustration that you want to take off my mask?”

“Maybe there’s something like that.”

“Gongja Lee. “That’s all nonsense.”

After speaking harshly, Wicked Soma turned his head out the window. Soma, even if you act like this, you are unassailable.

I chuckled and looked out the window on the other side. The cliff I climbed before returning was receding.

After running and running like that, the carriage arrived at a low street crowded with people.

People doing business nearby were startled when three masked men got off the carriage.

Cheongmyeon walked in front and we followed behind him.

“Do you have a lot of money?”

“a lot. “Why do you ask that?”

“If they have a lot of money, they want to waste it at the gambling house.”

“If you mess with the sleeping God of Dao, the gambling house may collapse.”

Extreme Soma laughed as if it was ridiculous.

Inside the small door at the end of the alley was a new world.

The gambling hall was large and luxurious. Without exaggeration, it was ten times bigger than I expected. It was so big that it was bigger than our main school’s main hall, and it was filled with countless people.

Hundreds of tables were filled with gamblers, and slim beauties in revealing clothes walked around carrying bottles of alcohol.

Everyone was so into gambling that no one paid any attention to us wearing masks. I didn’t care who was coming in or going out.

“It’s much bigger than I thought.”

“Can I tell you something even more surprising? “The income here is greater than that of Cheonhwaru.”

They said that the income of Cheonhwaru was greater than that of the top, but what they were saying was that the income of this gambling house was greater than that Cheonhwaru.

“The Sado League wants to somehow build a gambling house in this area to share, while the Murim League wants to completely destroy this place. Political faction members criticize us for destroying people by enticing them into gambling, but the truth is that they don’t want money coming to us. Now, how do you feel about coming to this gambling place?”

“I see that they are crazy about gambling since broad daylight, so I want to beat them all up and make them come to their senses.”

“Then from now on, only grass will be on the Lee Gongja table.”

“Everyone has their own life, so you shouldn’t interfere, right?”

The bad thing about that life is this. The point is that you won’t fail alone.

Borrowing, stealing, and cheating. After torturing their families and everyone around them, they endured until the end and then fell. That was their end.

When Extreme Soma made an unexpected visit, the managers rushed out. They trembled like aspen trees at the fact that the evil Soma had come in person.

As I walked to their office, there was a place where an unusually large number of people had gathered.

When Extreme Soma stopped walking, the manager quickly reported.

“The author is the son of Yuji here, and he sometimes bets such large sums of money. “I guess we got lucky today and we keep losing.”

Indeed, the gambler at the gambling hall who was facing him could tell from his expression that he was completely overwhelmed by the momentum.

“I’ll bet everything on the big number.”

The man bet all the money in front of him.

The amount of money at stake was so large that the gambler’s expression completely hardened.

“I guess I’ll give it a try.”

The manager spoke quickly in response to Extreme Soma’s words.

“I will replace the gambler.”

“for a moment.”

After stopping him, Extreme Soma looked at me.

“Would you like to give it a try?”

“Are you going to cut off my arm if I lose money?”

“Where did the confidence that made you go to the gambling den go?”

“great. Instead, it’s just one round.”

I went there instead of the gambler. Everyone was shocked when I came out wearing a mask, but replacing gamblers was within the authority of the gambling house.

I quickly shook the container containing the seven dice.

Extreme Soma gave off an interesting light thanks to my skillful dexterity.

widely.

I put down the dice box. When the dice dancing inside stopped, I picked up the container.

The sum of the dice was narrowly small.

A sigh came out of the man’s mouth. It was the moment when our continued luck ended. The gambler who kept losing to him sighed in relief.

I immediately left and walked towards Extreme Soma.

“Thank goodness I got lucky.”

“Do you rhyme?”

“What else is it but luck?”

“Either the sleeping god has awakened.”

“No, let’s put Doshin back to sleep.”

But I made him even more curious with an unexpected smile.

Again, we went out through the passageway in the corner of the gambling hall, guided by the manager.

There were several rooms in the hallway, and they appeared to be rooms where the warriors guarding the gambling house waited and lived.

After passing through there and opening the secret door, there was the manager’s office.

The manager brought the ledger and gave it to Cheongmyeon and explained to Geukaksoma about the gambling house. It reported approximately how many people come each day, how much money it makes, and how it attracts new customers.

Of course, we report to our school every month, but when an extremely evil soma like this comes, we explain and report it ourselves.

I watched in silence, and Extreme Soma watched my reaction while listening to the report.

Honestly, what inspiration can this process have for me?

Still, I didn’t pay a boring ticket. I tried to understand his life. The effort was demonstrated. I find your world so interesting.

A considerable amount of time passed in reporting and reviewing accounts. I was told to go cut off my arm, but the gambling house was running without a problem.

Extreme Soma gave a few words of encouragement to the managers.

Of all the things that happened today, this part was the key. As it did with the merchant owners earlier, Extreme Soma directly encourages managers. Making me aware that the scariest person is watching me. This insignificant action becomes the key to keeping his business steady.

He was a very evil soma who could do at least one thing better than anyone else. Does Hyeolcheon Doma or Ilhwa Geomzon have this kind of meticulousness and diligence? I think there probably won’t be.

I left there with Extreme Soma and walked across the gambling hall. Ian and Cheongmyeon followed us, followed by the managers.

That time when I was walking to the entrance across a place full of noise and heat.

Easy profit! Phew! Whoa!

Starting with the sound of a sword cutting through the wind, the sound of skin being torn and a heavy noise were heard almost simultaneously.

There were two people standing on either side of us.

The man on the right’s dagger was aimed at Extreme Soma’s neck. However, before the dagger could reach his neck, half of his face was blown away by the evil Soma.

My sword was stuck in the heart of a man running from my left.

The joint effort between the two was truly exquisite.

The man on the left was a man who turned around and cheered that he had won money, and the other man was a man who ran from the other side and congratulated him. They were assassins targeting us. They made a surprise attack, targeting the moment when their movements overlapped with ours.

The eyes of the gamblers around us all turned towards us.

But soon their gaze returned to its original state. Two corpses were found right next to each other, but no one left the gambling house. Rather, he urged the gambler to hurry up and roll the dice. I’m more scared of them than the assassins.

“Are you okay? young master.”

Ian praised her for his concern.

“Your skills have really improved.”

When Salsu attacked me earlier, her sword was almost completely drawn out. Previously, he would not have been able to react, but now he has almost drawn his sword.

“If they had attacked me, I would have died.”

“It won’t be like that. The fact that the sword was almost fully drawn even though I was behind means that if it had been me, I would have cut down the opponent. “Your skills have improved to this level.”

Ian gave an expression that said he still didn’t feel it.

Geukak Soma, who had been talking with Cheongmyeon for a while, walked towards me.

“I didn’t know they would even target a scientist.”

“You wouldn’t have known it was me. Because I was wearing a mask. “I guess they thought he was Soma-sama’s guardian.”

Even if he knew about me, he might have given the order. The people behind this incident were really people who wanted a war between our church and the Apostolic Alliance. Would the Heavenly Demon’s blood relatives be an exception to their fledgling operation?

“They changed their strategy.”

“how?”

“The idea is to kill Soma and move the school. It doesn’t matter if you fail. Soma, who is angry, will eventually commit murder. “It seems like the person behind it is somehow trying to use Soma’s expulsion to achieve their goals.”

I could feel that the lava of Extreme Soma was starting to boil even more.

The people behind it are smart people. If you hadn’t come out with me, that lava would have exploded already one way or another. What they failed to consider was my existence.

At that time, Ian asked cautiously.

“If a war breaks out like this, won’t they be safe too?”

I shook my head.

“If it becomes a war where we annihilate each other, then yes. But in reality, such a war will not break out. Even if a war breaks out, it will end with some sacrifice. The losing side will agree to a truce and pay huge compensation. For them, war is also business.”

“They are crazy.”

“They are extremely selfish people. “Because they don’t mind sacrificing thousands of people in order to gain power.”

I spoke to Extreme Soma again.

“Doing things like this means they don’t have much time. “It means that the situation within the Apostolic Alliance is urgent.”

Hearing my words, Extreme Soma spoke with fear.

“Clearly there won’t be much time left for them.”

It was Extreme Soma’s will to kill everyone. Originally, they said they would kill those behind it, but this made it even more certain.

My job is to guide him to only deal with those behind this incident while leaving the other soldiers of the Apostle League untouched.

If we do that, our successors, the Bisain or the Apostolic Alliance, will be grateful to us.

At that time, one of Extreme Soma’s subordinates came and delivered an urgent message.

Cheongmyeon confirmed this and quickly reported with nervous eyes.

“This is an urgent report sent from Tongcheon Pavilion. “It is said that Soma’s name was posted on the killing list.”

The Killing Club was a mysterious organization shrouded in secrecy and was a kind of intermediary organization that connected assassins and contractors. In the process, they make money by earning commissions, and there was a rumor that the amount of money they made was enormous because there was so much resentment in the world.

“The contract amount is one million nyang. Heuksal (黑殺) received this request. “The people who attacked a little while ago are probably assassins belonging to the Black Death.”

“You’re saying you received it thinking it was me? Even if you succeed in killing me, it will eventually be revealed and your church will destroy you, right?”

I know why Heuksal received this contract.

Heuksalju joined hands with the person behind this incident. He took this opportunity to quit his job and organize the organization. It didn’t matter even if he sacrificed all his subordinates.

He had promised to go to an important position in the Apostolic League with a new identity and a sum of one million nyang.

“Considering that the assassination has begun, there must have been a lot of dark assassins spread here in Gwiju.”

Even with Cheongmyeon’s report, Geukaksoma was happy.

“What should I do? “I heard that our Prince Lee doesn’t like seas of blood?”

“You can swim with a smile in a sea made of the blood of assassins. “Let’s go out.”

There was no need to take Ian out, but I told her.

“Are you going to go out together?”

“I was planning to wait here and do some gambling.”

“That won’t work, Sir.”

“Then you can’t do it.”

Joy flashed across her eyes. I know. How much she wants to go out together. I just couldn’t bring myself to say it first for fear of becoming a burden.

I have no intention of raising her in a greenhouse. Because the biggest growth factor for unmanned aerial vehicles was actual combat.

And it’s not just because I’m with her that I feel confident taking her out.

This is because the handle of her sword has become polished through hard training. It’s because of the calluses on her palms.

Ian said calmly, wondering if I would be worried.

“Don’t ever worry about me. The heart beats on its own, right?”
