Absolute Regression

Episode 199 Do I look like someone who will have something taken from me?

Gowol, who was sitting at the desk reading documents, asked with his gaze still downward.

“Cyoju, are you worried these days?”

The leader of Pungcheon was leaning against the window and looking outside.

“What are you worried about? Why all of a sudden?”

The two were moving around the central plains and were busy creating an intelligence organization. Gowol was always busy, and the leader of Pungcheon was relatively free because he was a guard and counselor.

“I think you’re worried.”

“Where can you find a life as leisurely as mine? “No worries.”

“Busy people usually have no worries.”

“I said there isn’t one.”

In response to the firm response, Gowol took his eyes off the document and looked at the leader of the Pungcheon Church. Not really. Looking out the window, the head of the Pungcheon Church was clearly in a depressed mood and seemed to be worried about something these days.

“it’s hard?”

“It’s hard.”

“I’m having a hard time.”

At the end of Goyol, the leader of Pungcheon looked back at him. Gowol added as if he was sincere.

“it’s tough. “I wouldn’t have been able to endure it if my religious leader hadn’t been there to help me.”

“So who wants to work that hard? “Since when did you become so loyal?”

“Should we just do it roughly from now on?”

“I will do my best.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church turned his head out the window again.

“Originally, this is what the religious leader would say, saying he will die from hardship. “It’s not like a religious leader.”

“What is it about me? no. He would just say things that ignore me again. don’t do it!”

It wasn’t a high month that I wouldn’t say that.

“A person who may look humble on the outside, but has a heart like the ocean on the inside. Although he may seem to be living a rough life, he has a big picture in mind. A person who talks nonsense but is deep on the inside. “This kind of person is the leader of the cult.”

“joy! You said the opposite, right? “Are you saying that I live a petty, rough life and talk nonsense?”

“And a person who has more insight than anyone else!”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church gave an expression that said yes. Normally, various words would have poured out. The leader of Pungcheon was still looking out the window. Gowol got up from his chair and walked forward.

“Are you perhaps homesick?”

“I’m talking about homesickness, but now I know for sure that I’m not a person who likes my hometown. I don’t remember my hometown at all. I have no desire to go back at all. “I don’t think I’ll ever go again, maybe once before I die.”

“I’m not homesick. “Then what is the reason?”

The Pungcheon religious leader’s lips trembled. It looked like he wanted to say something, but the leader of Pungcheon Church changed the topic.

“Why isn’t Lee Gongja coming? “Are you sure you contacted us properly?”

“Are you busy?”

“I’m busy. We’ve been pushed down the list of priorities. I did everything I could, huh? Then the shackles sent a message to see you. Would you like to meet me sometime? Should I not?”

“If so, aren’t we investing too much money in those shackles?”

A huge amount of money was being invested in this project. The information network had not yet been installed throughout the entire central office, and funds were running out again.

“I guess the money is rotting away.”

“Cult leader. What are you angry about? “Are you depressed because you can’t lose weight?”

“joy! “If you put your mind to it, you can lose it all in a month.”

“You said that a month ago, right?”

“When you get older and you get too thin, you look like nobody.”

“The cult leader seems too numerous.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church turned around, frowned, and pretended that Gowol was joking.

“What are you worried about?”

After a moment, the leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke.

“If I tell you the reason, are you going to make fun of me again?”

“Listen.”

“I never say I never make fun of you.”

Finally, the leader of the Pungcheon Church spoke up.

“Do you remember the stone bug we met a while ago?”

“I remember.”

The process of establishing an intelligence organization in the Central Plains was very arduous. I got to meet so many people. Then, you will meet people like Seokchung.

“He made a mistake and was rude to me that day.”

Gowol nodded. Would you have done that if you had known the true identity or abilities of the Pungcheon cult leader? Since he was introduced as just a rich man, he believed in his humble martial arts skills and was arrogant and rude.

“The leader tolerated it well.”

“I keep thinking about him. I’ll crush that guy then. No, at least I would have admonished him not to do that. At that time, I held back because I wanted things to be handled smoothly. But now I keep thinking about it.”

I don’t know how many times the Pungcheon religious leader killed that guy in his imagination. In fact, it wasn’t a mistake that would kill me, but I kept getting so angry that I wanted to kill him.

“You know that guy who had that dirty look before? I tolerated it well back then. But I can’t stand it this time. Oh, I know. Do not say. Because I know very well how narrow-minded I am. But what do I do when I keep thinking about it?”

“I understand.”

“You understand?”

“He was such an asshole. Even if the religious leader beat him up, he wouldn’t have stopped him.”

“okay?”

The head of Pungcheon was happy.

“Then you should have beaten me up? Should I go and beat him up right now?”

Gowol just watched the leader of Pungcheon in silence. Only then did the excitement of the Pungcheon religious leader subside.

“Hurry up and say what you want to say.”

“doesn’t exist.”

“I told you to do it!”

“Everyone lives like this. Because I’m the leader of a cult, I’ve lived my life without seeing dirty things. Everyone endures this and lives like this. Beat me for being angry, beat me for being upset, beat me for being rude. “There are few people who can live that kind of life.”

“You want to say that people like Lee Gong-ja live like that?”

“It’s the same with the religious leader. I lived like that. “It’s been a while since you’ve lived comfortably all your life and put up with it, right?”

The leader of Pungcheon nodded as if he acknowledged at least that part.

Gowol understood that the leader of the Pungcheon Church was having a hard time. How hard can it be? He lives a life that no one would envy, but he follows around and acts as a bodyguard without anyone around him. So I always feel this way.

‘I guess the religious leader committed a big sin against me in my past life.’

Gowol walked next to the head of the Pungcheon Church and looked outside.

“It’s not because I keep thinking about it because I’m narrow-minded, but because I’m angry inside the head of the cult.”

“A tantrum?”

“Isn’t this the first time the leader has done this while traveling around the midfield? Meeting people again and again. It may not seem like a big deal, but it builds up a lot of anger without you knowing it. “The leader has put up with it for me until now.”

“I’m glad you know. “But after talking about it, I feel a little relieved.”

“Don’t hold back from now on, just beat them up.”

“hate. Still, I will endure it. If you were born narrow-minded, you should at least make an effort. “Whether I live this way or that way, I’m not going to end my life in a miserable way.”

Gao Yue looked at him. The leader of Pungcheon was sincere.

“Do you want to swear at Lee Gong-ja in a way that will make your stomach feel empty?”

“Can I do it?”

“It’s been a while since I did it again!”

The head of the Pungcheon Church spoke loudly as if he had been waiting.

“You lazy scientist! If it comes, it will come quickly. What are you doing that makes you so late? Have you forgotten us? Just forget it! Have you ever been eaten by a fish in a fishing ground? Just snap! I’ll swallow you head first! No matter how much you treat us like shackles, we still live well like this! You bad scientist! You ugly scientist! You’re a scientist who cheats with light work! ah! Yelling like this makes me feel relieved. Go soldier, you do it too! The accumulated congestion will go away. “Of course, when it comes to cursing, the cursing of Lee Gong-ja is the most relieving.”

Then Gowol spoke with a serious expression.

“Sir, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

“huh?”

Seeing the sudden change in Gowol’s appearance, the leader of Pungcheon blinked with an expression as if he was wondering what he was doing, but then he felt a presence behind him.

The leader of Pungcheon slowly looked back.

Before I knew it, Geommugeuk was standing behind me.

“You’re swearing at me again.”

Why now! I got caught swearing before. The leader of Pungcheon was embarrassed, but he was not one to just back down.

“Gongja! Fix what appears when swearing! Of course, I’m not the kind of person who won’t say something about having a scholar, but…”

Just then, Gwon Ma entered the room.

The moment he saw him, the expression on Pungcheon’s face instantly became serious. The playfulness disappeared from his face and he returned to the Pungcheon Bridge. He lowered his voice and greeted Gwonma.

“It’s been a while.”

“Nice to meet you.”

The two people hugged each other and greeted each other. Gwonma also showed a different prayer than when he was alone with Geommugeuk. They were now the cult leader and the mazon. They were originally like this, but they all changed after encountering sword dance.

Geommugeuk introduced Gowol to Gwonma.

“This is my military high school that will be perfect if I play baduk well.”

Gowol said with a smile.

“I don’t want to clash with Commander-in-Chief, so I’m holding back on learning.”

This was said because the person who taught Cheonma baduk was a general. What he said was his confidence that if he learned and taught sword dance, he could defeat the religious leader.

“Now, please come in.”

Sword dance and Gwonma came in and sat down.

Gowol brought tea.

“This is all I have to offer.”

“You have a hard time coming all the way to work.”

“I’m enjoying my work, thinking I’m going on a tour of Jungwon.”

Geommugeuk spoke politely to the leader of Pungcheon.

“You are going through a lot. “Thanks to the religious leader, Mr. Ko has no worries at all.”

“I do it because I like it.”

Gowol contributed to the efforts of the Pungcheon religious leader.

“If it weren’t for you, the leader, I would have died several times already.”

In reality, danger arose several times, but thanks to the leader of the Pungcheon Church, the crisis was overcome.

Geommugeuk looked at the leader of the Pungcheon Church with soft eyes. I know very well how much he sacrificed to come to me. Of course, the reason was because of Gowol, but anyway, he was the one who ate the fruit. Every time he says he is the leader of that cult, he has no intention of making it that way.

The leader of Pungcheon Church said to Gwon Ma.

“I heard that you were expelled from the church along with Duke Lee.”

“I was enjoying some free time for the first time in a long time.”

The leader of Pungcheon asked vaguely.

“Did you have anything stolen from you?”

“What was stolen?”

“If I let my guard down for a moment, mine will be with Lee Gongja. “I was wondering if our Gwonma had experienced something like that too.”

The Pungcheon cult leader’s eyes looked like ‘You must have been taken away too?’, so the horse resolutely shook his head.

“That didn’t happen.”

At the same time, Gwonma gave me a look that said, ‘Do I look like someone who will have something taken away from me?’

Amid the invisible war of nerves, the leader of Pungcheon was deeply upset.

‘Am I the only one who lost everything to Lee Gongja?’

He still sometimes thinks about the stuff he gave to Geommugeuk. After leaving the church anyway, it wasn’t like I had any regrets or greed about the sacred object itself.

However, there are times when I feel doubtful that I am a foolish person who gives everything that I don’t have to give, or that I am the only one who suffers losses. These feelings are also contributing to the depression I am feeling these days.

At that time, Geomgeuk spoke.

“I am now able to serve Master Kwon as my master.”

The leader of Pungcheon Church was surprised to hear those words.

“Really?”

“Yes, Master Kwon is my master now.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church could not contain his surprise. Soon, his mood improved as he looked at the horse.

‘You were taken away too! ‘You have lost everything you are!’

This was what ultimately pleased the leader of Pungcheon Church.

‘I wasn’t the only one who suffered!’

It was truly a great comfort to him. Of course, Gwonma will not admit it at all.

Gowol celebrated by taking the gun.

“I would like to reduce the priest’s contract.”

The leader of Pungcheon also congratulated Gwon Ma.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

The leader of Pungcheon’s mouth was itching.

‘I hope you don’t become that master then.’

If I had been a little closer to Gwonma, I would have said it in the end.

“I’m going to talk to the late soldier for a moment.”

Geomgeuk and Gowol went out.

Now only Gwonma and the leader of Pungcheon are left there. The first to break the awkward silence and speak was the leader of Pungcheon Church.

“You have made a big decision.”

“It just happened to be like that.”

cancer. If you come to your senses, it looks like this. A smile appeared on the face of the Pungcheon cult leader.

This time Gwonma asked.

“The leader has made a big decision.”

“If Mazon sees me, he might look a little funny.”

“It’s funny. “What can you say?”

“I see you abandoning Pungcheongyo and coming to Jungwon and doing this alone.”

These were two people who normally would not have had a single conversation. However, due to the central point of the sword dance, conversations that would not have occurred before took place.

“Why are you alone? There are also soldiers. “Don’t you have any disciples of mine?”

“I heard from the military that you support the Archduke.”

“That’s right.”

The leader of Pungcheon said something unexpected.

“Don’t treat me poorly because I’m your disciple.”

The leader of Pungcheon was not at all afraid of Gwonma.

“You only bet half the bet, but we bet everything on your student.”

Gwonma drank his tea without answering anything.

Meanwhile, Geomgeuk and Gowol came out to the yard. When the two of them were alone, the sword dance comforted him for his hard work.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

“It would have been less difficult than becoming Master Kwon’s disciple.”

Geommugeuk did not deny it but laughed.

“Before I tell you the reason why I left a message to see you, Confucius, I have one thing to ask of you.”

“Tell me.”

“The leader is having a hard time these days.”

how? wherefore? how much?

Geommugeuk did not ask these questions. This was because Gowol was able to guess all the details from the fact that he talked about it separately.

“I still dream of that time when I was shackled. Sometimes I even talk to Uhm Lae-jong. “I don’t think it’s really easy for a person to escape from the past. The same goes for a religious leader.”

Geommugeuk smiled at him.

“I’ll talk about it separately.”

“thank you.”

As long as he told Geomugeuk, Gao Yue was no longer worried about him.

“Why did you ask to see me?”

Then Gowol said something unexpected.

“Have you ever heard of Shinseonchae (神仙債)?”
