Episode 234:

My mind became confused.

I didn’t understand the situation.

How on earth does Hao Wenju know the nickname Yongjamgun (龍潛君)?

Let’s make a hundred concessions and say that I found out through background investigation that I was a disciple of the Demonic Cult in my past life.

Although it may be unlikely, it is possible that Go Soo, who can fool even my senses, overheard the conversation between me and Damun.

‘but.’

Knowing the nickname Yongjamgun was a completely different matter.

Because I never even told Damun that nickname.

“Judging by the reaction, it seems my prediction was roughly correct.”

“.......”

“Let’s take a seat first. “I think you have a lot of questions about me, just as I have a lot of things I want to ask you.”

I narrowed my eyes and sat down with my butt pressed against the chair.

One assumption crossed my mind.

Perhaps Hao Wen-ju, like me, has returned to the past?

‘It’s not like there’s no possibility. There is no law that there is always one returner. But...’

That family had many problems in one way or another.

To put it bluntly, if the man in front of me was a regressor, I couldn’t understand Hao Wen’s actions so far.

Haomun is the largest martial arts group in the Central Plains.

What would happen if the leader of the group knew the future?

‘Just thinking about it is scary.’

Even I, who was abandoned by my parents and raised as an orphan, achieved this feat.

He reached the state of flower painting in the early 19th century, became close friends with influential figures of Baekdo’s martial arts, and became famous throughout the central plains.

What if Hao Wen Zhou has the power to back him up?

I couldn’t even imagine what the results would be if he decided to use the memories of the future for the benefit of the clan.

‘Fundamentally, if Hao Wen-ju had memories of his past life like me, there is no way he would have left Chen Ji-ryeong until he fell into a mental demon.’

Is there a teacher in the world who would leave his beloved student alone even though he clearly knew that he would fall into the devil’s schemes?

It was literally a contradiction.

Unless you know the future, you can never mention the title of Lord Yongjam, but Hao Wenju’s actions so far have proven that he is not a regressor.

“Whoa...”

I took a deep breath to regain my composure.

There was no way I could come up with an answer just by thinking about it alone.

‘It would be quicker to ask the person concerned directly.’

There was no reason to waste time with someone who could solve the mystery.

Did he think this side was ready to talk?

Hao Wenzhu picked up the mask with his right hand and muttered.

“There’s no need to hide it.”

He took off his mask and placed it on the table.

Hao Wen-ju’s bare face was revealed under the moonlight pouring through the window.

“How about it?”

“......?”

“Is this a face in my memory?”

After thinking for a moment, I slowly nodded.

I decided that denying it here wouldn’t make much sense.

“Right.”

As if I knew it would happen.

Hao Wenju nodded face to face.

Hao Wenzhou, with a smile on his face, rubbed his chin with his thin white hand and muttered.

“Anyway, it’s a return... I think I finally understand the identity of the feeling of disparity I’ve been feeling.”

“what do you mean?”

“When I first had a precognitive dream, I dismissed it as an insignificant phenomenon. As usual, I thought I was having a dream. But as time passed, that became less possible. “Because the same thing happens over and over again and it affects reality.”

“.......”

“After several experiments and confirmations, I became convinced that what I saw in my dream was my future.”

“.......”

“Then one day, a boy contacted Hao Mun. He said he would cure a disciple who was suffering from a mental illness. I thought about it then. “Maybe I’m not the only one with precognitive abilities.”

It seems that I wasn’t the only one who was obsessed with stereotypes.

Hao Wen-ju also seemed to be caught up in his own unrealistic experiences and mistakenly thought I was a person with the ability to foresee.

“So you put a thousand soje on me? To watch and gather information?”

“I see.”

I was able to realize it again.

That there is no favor without reason in the world.

“As expected, from that day on, there was a growing distortion between foresight and reality.”

“.......”

“But as the number of regular reports I received increased, a sense of discomfort arose. For some reason, I had the feeling that you were different from me. “I was curious about the reason, but I found out for sure through your comment a little while ago.”

“.......”

“Regression. I’m shocked to hear such an unexpected story. “It seemed like he could predict the future much more accurately than I could.”

Now I can finally understand the situation.

Although there are some incomplete parts, most of the doubts I had were resolved.

This may have been the reason why Hao Wen-ju had shown such a strangely friendly attitude towards me.

“If I think about it now, the expression ‘foresight’ may have been wrong. “It is not about looking at the future based on the present, but rather looking at the original history that has not been distorted by you and me.”

“There are a few things I don’t understand.”

“Tell me.”

“If you knew the original history, why didn’t you actively utilize it?”

“It’s a question whose meaning I don’t know. Of course I used it. “I can’t tell you in detail because it’s a clan secret, but I gained quite a lot of benefit from it.”

“Even I, who was just an individual, achieved this level of power and status. Moreover, if a large martial power like Haomun knew the future and made moves, it would not be surprising if a cataclysm occurred in the history of the martial arts.”

“I was wondering what you were talking about. That’s probably something you can think of since you’re a regressor. As I said a moment ago, I cannot predict the future at the moment I want. “As with precognitive dreams and déjà vu, if you don’t write down what comes to mind right away, you tend to forget it after a while.”

“.......”

“Not much of the information obtained through foresight was actually helpful to me. “You even changed history to a great extent...”

“Then why did you leave it until Cheon Soje fell into a state of madness?”

“It’s a simple story. The timing wasn’t right. By the time I awakened my precognitive abilities and learned about the Demon Cult’s plans, it was already too late. Now that I’m curious, at what age did you begin to remember your past life? “When you were born?”

“Ten years old. “It was eleven years ago now.”

“You’re five years older than me.”

In other words, it was six years ago that Hao Wenju awakened his precognitive ability.

Six years ago, it was when I left the Manjang family and moved to Sacheon, so the timing was right.

“Has the question been resolved?”

“I would like to ask you one last question.”

“You are quite capable too. “I still have questions.”

“Why did you decide to establish a cooperation system with me?”

“You are asking the obvious. Because I was confident that it would be a mutually beneficial deal. “I decided that it was worth enduring the opposition from the leaders.”

“I didn’t ask that.”

“if?”

“What I want to know is something more fundamental. “Why didn’t you use coercive measures?”

“.......”

“If I had put my mind to it, it wouldn’t have been a problem to kidnap a boy of unknown origin. “I don’t understand why they chose such a cumbersome method when it would have been easier to obtain information through torture.”
