Episode 94: Because we know, we fight.
Before going to meet the Extreme Evil Demon, I stopped by the Blood Heaven Demon’s residence. I had something to check with him.
Hyeolcheondoma was sitting by the window, reading a book in the warm sunlight.
“You really read books on a regular basis.”
“You’re bluffing. “When I hear your footsteps from afar, I run to the bookshelf.”
he asked, putting down the book.
“What brings you here?”
Instead of going inside, I stood outside the window and spoke to him.
“I came to ask you about a person.”
“who?”
“Do you know about Extreme Soma?”
At that moment, I felt the Hyeolcheon Doma startle.
“Why are you asking him?”
“I was wondering if they would draw him to our side.”
Hyeolcheondoma’s expression frowned slightly.
“shit. “It’s like a woman with a dirty mouth.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t act like a fool.”
Hyeolcheondoma was so perceptive that he noticed that Ilhwageomjon had mentioned that fact. Since he wasn’t the type of person to go around talking about this anyway, I spoke comfortably.
“It was Geomzon who told me that it was not he who persuaded me in the first place, but the elder. “For the elderly.”
“It’s not for me. “It’s because I have moral insularity.”
“If you know each other so well, why are you fighting so much?”
“Where were strangers fighting? So, let’s fight.”
I couldn’t refute this, so I burst out laughing.
“So what do you want to ask?”
“How did you convince Extreme Soma?”
The reason I met Hyeolcheon Doma today was to ask that question.
Then a surprising fact was revealed.
“He came to me first.”
“Extreme Soma came first?”
“okay. “Do you think I would have gone to that unpleasant guy and asked him for a favor?”
“Senior Geomzon is wrong.”
“What did you say?”
“I said persuasion would have worked because they were the same villain.”
“what? Are you uniting me with that guy?”
Hyecheondoma was upset and jumped up.
It may seem like I’m telling you for nothing, but this is also part of my effort to reconcile the two.
We have to keep mentioning each other like this. We are not forgetting each other. They still hate me. This way, when the opportunity comes, all these pieces will be able to come together and make peace. There is no reconciliation that happens suddenly one day.
“What conditions did you put on?”
“He said he would give me a blue line and ask him to help me later when I ask for help.”
“Did you accept it knowing what you would ask for later?”
“I’m going to ask for something for me. “If you ask me to do something ridiculous, just don’t listen.”
“Why don’t you at least show me some condescension? Because of you, I have a debt to pay off. What should I do? “Why were you just there?”
“What condescension!”
When I first saw him, Hyeolcheondoma was a very calculating and meticulous person. A person who seems like he will pay all kinds of condescension and accept it all.
However, when I opened the door of my heart and entered, there was another blood vessel. A man who enjoys reading a book in the sunlight, throwing away anything condescending.
“You have to show respect for the elderly so that the other person knows.”
“You don’t have to know. And it didn’t feel like he was helping me with this to ask me for anything in particular. “Do you really need Extreme Soma for me?”
Hyeolcheon Doma looked at me with an expression that said, “That’s not true even if you look at it.”
If that hunch is right, why did he help us?
“Anyway, thank you. I will go see Extreme Soma.”
As I said goodbye, Hyeolcheondoma reopened the book he had closed as if he had been waiting.
“Aren’t you worried that I’m going to meet Extreme Soma?”
“no. Obviously you killed it. What I’m curious about is not whether he was killed or not. “How did you kill him?”
He was convinced that I had killed him.
“I will keep this a secret from anyone else. Just tell me. “I’ll give you another vote like I did for Cheongseon.”
“I’ll say it again, I didn’t kill him.”
Then, Extreme Soma suddenly stopped, turned back, and walked towards me with long strides. He came up to me and held out his hand.
“Let’s be friends.”
I know very well that he is a person who behaves unexpectedly like this.
And this is the second time I hear this from him.
When I returned to our school to look for materials for the Great Recurrence Method, I came into contact with Extreme Soma. He said the same thing to me back then.
“I don’t like it.”
“Why don’t you like it?”
Because everyone who became friends with him is dead. Except for one person.
“There are three reasons why we can’t be friends.”
“Oh, are there three reasons?”
He actively showed his curiosity.
“What is the first reason?”
“If we stay as friends, someday I will make a mistake. A comfortable mind will eventually lead to rudeness. Respect will prevent me from making mistakes.”
“What if I make a little mistake?”
“That’s right, as long as the opponent isn’t an extremely evil Soma, it’ll be fine.”
Extreme Soma laughed loudly.
“He’s a more interesting person than the rumors about our scientist. “Then what is the second reason?”
“Because Nether Footnotes and Extreme Soma do not go well together.”
“It is said that evil and good are like two sides of a coin. “Learning evil from me will help you preserve good.”
“That word was probably made up by the evil side.”
“What does it mean?”
“How can good and evil be as close together as the two sides of a coin? Evil would be at the bottom of the bottomless pit, and goodness would be at the top of that high mountain. “It is probably just a word made up by evil people to justify themselves.”
Of course, what he said earlier is a metaphor used to mean that good and evil can coexist within a person. But I deliberately kept them at a distance, talking only about good and evil.
“Then you will think that I am a hypocrite.”
“It can’t be. “How can a person who proudly attaches evil to his nickname be a hypocrite?”
“So you think I’m cool?”
“Evil can never be cool under any circumstances. “The only time evil is cool is when it overpowers other evils.”
he laughed. He laughed, but his eyes were cold in the eye sockets. If it weren’t for Shinansul, I wouldn’t have known.
It’s amazing that someone can smile so excitedly and have such sunken eyes.
“The rumors were true.”
“What rumor are you talking about?”
“The rumor is that Lee Gongja has become a stubborn and stuffy political slut.”
“If you feel that way, it’s probably because of this. At some point, we became worse than those stubborn and stuffy political faction brats. So, I think I’ll try to correct it now.”
Extreme Soma, who was laughing softly, asked.
“Is this the new magic that Gongja Lee dreams of?”
“You could say so.”
“Then you can never coexist with me. “I will continue to support the Archduke.”
“I guess it can’t be helped. “Then I’ll just head back.”
I bowed politely and turned around.
Then he asked from behind.
“What is the third reason?”
I stopped walking toward the door and turned to him.
“I am not friends with people wearing masks.”
It was a moment when he should have laughed, but he didn’t.
I saw.
Although he didn’t laugh out loud, his eyes were smiling in their sockets. It means he’s really angry.
Until now, he has never taken off his mask in front of anyone. Therefore, of course, no one has seen his face under that mask. No one knew what he looked like or how old he was. Taking off your mask is a taboo and disgusting.
But even he showed his face to others only once in his life.
To me before my return, who came to get Dafa materials. To me, the only one who survived even after becoming friends with him.
I saw the face behind that mask.
