Episode 379
: The reason I knocked out Dark Soul City before starting work was not simply because I was worried that it would struggle and rebel.
When the host falls asleep, the activity of the gourd also decreases significantly.
In other words, it meant that it was an essential work that must be done in order to remove the go (蠱) more safely.
Regardless of whether the target cooperates or not.
‘found.’
I carefully placed the bet and looked into Amhonsi’s mind.
A small bug curled up in a dark place inside the skull.
I had to be careful from now on.
If you stimulate it carelessly, it will run wild like a colt with its tail on fire.
Even the slightest mistake could cause the host to die or become an idiot.
It was okay since I had already mastered the art of controlling the white lightning energy injected into another person’s body.
The problem was whether it was possible to implement the curtain of the Uihyeonggi as intended.
‘We must mobilize all the knowledge we have gained so far.’
It wasn’t just Go’s movements that needed to be careful.
Care had to be taken not to injure the brain during darkness.
As someone who was still inexperienced in using the stylus, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Although I did not study medicine, I had a general idea of how complex the human brain is.
How sensitive it is to external stimuli.
If I were not careful, Amhonsi might end up in ruin because of me, not Ko.
‘It’s not a life-threatening battle. There is plenty of time.’
All you need is concentration.
All we had to do was realize the ideal form, no matter how long it took.
“.......”
Silence fell.
The Germans of the party family standing in the back did not say a word for fear of being in the way.
I covered the surface of the drum by gradually attaching small pieces of the steel pipe together.
Sweat beaded on my forehead.
It would be better to move around the training ground and swing the sword, but such detailed work just didn’t suit my temperament.
‘If he were the Demon Cult leader, he would have easily done something like this.’
I was able to realize once again the gap between me and the religious leader.
How much practice do you need to accumulate to reach that level?
Only when the two angles had passed was the work of wrapping the coronet with a false shape steel tool completed.
‘My heart is pounding so I won’t be able to eat it twice.’
I inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like my lifespan had been cut by half because I was worried that the tower I had worked so hard to build would collapse.
Once we got this far, the rest was easy.
All you had to do was burn the body to death with the needle of the Noegi without leaving a trace.
Crackling!
There was a subtle noise that only I could hear and that no one else could hear.
Although Go struggled, spewing out secretions indiscriminately, the membrane made up of fragments of the cervix clearly protected the host’s brain from it.
‘The residue remaining after burning is gradually passed through the bloodstream.’
It would be okay to finish the work as is, but I decided to make sure it was finished to prepare for any possible danger.
It was about another hour later that I took my hand off the top of Amhonsi’s head.
“Huh.”
I let out the breath I had been holding and sat down with my butt on the floor.
Dang Seo-yeon, who was startled, ran over and immediately supported my body.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I felt this tired.’
My whole body was limp like wet cotton.
The damp clothes gave an idea of the amount of sweat I had shed.
It’s one thing to create the desired shape by connecting pieces of a prosthesis, and another is to maintain it for a long time.
None of it was easy.
“after.”
Tang Seo-yeon looked at me with a worried expression as I slowly got up from my seat.
I rubbed my chin and was lost in thought.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested.
Isn’t this a strategy to trap absolute masters?
If practicality was proven, it could be useful on the battlefield.
‘No matter how unpredictable the Earth Dragon may be, there is no way he would put me in danger at this point before the fight against the Demonic Cult.’
There was no particular reason to refuse the request.
However, it was true that it was a bit awkward to simply agree.
What Zhuge Hye said to me not long ago flashed through my mind.
[It is possible, but my younger brother could be rude to the manager.]
[My younger brother has one bad habit. When there’s something he’s interested in, he always acts like he’s testing the other person.] [
Of course, he’s not a child who can’t discern between right and wrong, so he won’t cause a big problem. However, I was worried that the manager’s feelings would be hurt...]
I don’t know if the situation she was worried about will happen.
After hearing the warning, I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
“Actually, I thought about asking the Sword King senior as well, but he is a person with a much higher level of responsibility than me, so it would be a bit awkward to ask for help.”
“.......”
“Of course, if you feel burdened, you can refuse. But...”
“Good.”
I lifted my chopsticks and nodded.
Zhuge Hyuk-jin blinked in surprise, perhaps because he gave his consent easier than expected.
I said as I picked up the meat dish that Suksu had brought and brought it to my mouth.
“I will cooperate as much as I can if it helps in the future fight.”
I was half serious.
In addition, there was a desire to experience the power of Jinbeop and a desire to see what Zhuge Hyukjin would do.
Zhuge Hyukjin took power with a bright smile on his face.
“thank you! “Small cooperative!”
“Just wait until we finish eating.”
“I’ll wait as long as I can.”
About two hours passed since then.
Zhuge Hyukjin and I headed to an open space located halfway up Yongzhong Mountain.
According to Zhuge Hyukjin’s explanation, it seemed to have been a place used by Zhuge family’s Jinbeop practitioners for experiments for a long time.
“This is it.”
“On the outside, it just looks like bare ground.”
“If you place a casting in a visible place, you can’t fool the senses of an absolute master, right?”
“but.”
“If you stand there, I will activate the formation method.”
“All right.”
Standing in the center of the vacant lot, Zhuge Hyuk-jin placed the cast iron he had taken out of his chest onto the floor.
The flames that rose up suddenly obscured my view.
Beyond the flickering flames, I could see Zhuge Hyuk-jin with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.
‘Let’s take a look and see what kind of plan they have.’
* * *
Bang!
Sponsored by the Zhuge family.
A young man ran into the antique-looking hall and loudly opened the door.
I was breathing heavily, as if I had run a long way.
“sister! “We’re in big trouble!”
“......?”
“The Yeon Sohyeop is trapped in a dangerous situation!”
“What do you mean!”
The woman, Zhuge Hye, who was looking at the map spread out on the desk, was startled and stood up from her seat.
Zhuge Hyuk-jin, who was breathing heavily, spoke to her as if giving her a hug.
“One o’clock is urgent! Just follow me! “I’ll explain as I go!”
Without even having time to understand the situation, Zhuge Hyeok followed Zhuge Hyukjin across the garden.
The servants managing the garden looked at the two with puzzled expressions.
