Episode 140: Eyes are faster than hands (3)
A gloomy alleyway on a dark night.
The demon that was brought here was already in a state of despair. This is because they were beaten senselessly by the Yin-Yang Twin Monster’s concerted attack.
He was lying on the floor with an expression of frustration.
“Off... I didn’t say I would only ask questions.”
“Didn’t you promise to tell me everything you know?”
That was the price of the bet and the condition for keeping him alive.
But every question asked is answered with “I don’t know.” There wasn’t any helpful information at all.
“What can I do when I really don’t know anything? “A junior member like me only moves after receiving orders.”
“So what are the instructions you received?”
The demon took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and held it out.
“Check for yourself.”
There was no special content.
All you have to do is hide your identity and raise funds until there is an order. And at the bottom was the seal of Changryong.
‘Was he just one of the financiers?’
It was impossible to hunt down and kill each of the Changryong members spread throughout the central plains.
What Jinsan Yu wanted was personal information about them. I wanted to at least get to know the key people. Only then will we be able to quickly take down this secret armed group.
“Where did you get this order?”
“Nothing has been decided. “Because it was always someone I saw for the first time who approached me and told me the story.”
Looking at his eyes, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
In that case, there would be no more information to find out about this guy.
“You weren’t of any help at all, so there’s no reason for me to save you.”
Sensing that Yu Jin-san was threatening him, the demon hurriedly raised one hand.
“Wait a minute. “There is one thing.”
“...?”
“The person who gave me the instructions spoke. “There will be a summons order soon, so don’t leave the area.”
“What does that mean?”
“Last time, after receiving this order, the three members gathered together.”
“so?”
“At that time, we helped the Jongnam faction attack Geukjin Gate in Shaanxi.”
It was an incident that Eugene-san also remembers as it happened a few years ago.
How could I forget that? It was an opportunity for me to learn about the existence of Changnyongdae.
Geukjinmun Gate, which was the most powerful of the four factions, collapsed overnight.
Three masked people who were said to have helped the Jongnam faction at the time.
It was already known in the past that their identities were Changryong members.
“One of them was you. “What are you planning this time?”
“There is no way I would know that.”
It was the answer I expected. I was just asking this question just in case.
Are they trying to attack another Sapa faction? Or if there was another reason, there was no way to know at the moment.
However, we cannot just wait for a contact that may appear at any time.
Yu Jin-san was contemplating what to do with the demon and sent a hand gesture behind his back.
Then, the granddaughter, who had been waiting with her partner at a distance, approached with long strides.
“Why?”
“Just give this guy a few gold coins.”
Yu Seol rummaged around in the bundle he was carrying on his shoulder and pulled it out again.
“three.”
Dogwi, who had suddenly accepted the three gold coins, blinked and muttered.
“Why are you doing this to me...”
Jin-san Yu gave the answer.
“Like Nobu said, I will spare your life. “With that amount, there will be no problem in making a living, so abolish Danjeon and leave Gangho.”
Of all the Changryong members I had ever encountered, he was the most normal person. Relatively speaking.
Moreover, I couldn’t help but admire his attitude of confessing everything he knew as promised.
But it was impossible to just let it go. If you do that, we will meet as enemies again someday.
Leaving no regrets behind was an important rule of survival in the Gangho.
“....”
“Please bring this to me uncle.”
With a heavy sound, a pile of hermits appeared. Where is that? There seemed to be dozens of gold coins scattered about.
Baek-gyu forgot his face and opened his eyes as if they were torn apart.
“...Seol Seol, what is all this?”
“My grandpa won it all.”
What on earth happened?
The Eugene San he remembers was not a person who liked gambling. But you took all of the devil’s funds?
Baek-gyu was speechless with an expression of bewilderment.
It would be more realistic to say that he committed robbery against a demon. But that wasn’t a possibility either. Because the Eugene San he knew did not have the personality to do such a thing without justification.
“....”
Baek-gyu, who had been staring at the bundle of money, looked at it with his hand.
It was so much money that the clan didn’t have to worry about money for the time being.
As the owner of the house, how could you not be happy? The family had already grown so large that it was difficult to relax.
Even so, all of my worries disappeared the moment I was about to request financial support from the Apostolic Alliance.
“What kind of windfall is this all of a sudden? “I have once again received great favor from you.”
“Are you okay, uncle?”
Baek-gyu lifted the snowflake with both large hands and twirled it around.
“Of course it’s fine, boy. Perhaps Seol, you helped your brother? great job!”
“Hi-Hi.”
Yu Seol, who received praise, couldn’t help but smile as if he was in a good mood.
“By the way, where did your brother go?”
“I was captured by the old man.”
Among the adults in Paedomun, there is no one who is not bald.
However, among them, there was only one person whom the nephew addressed in this way.
Baek-gyu sighed with a sad expression.
“Well... I guess I’ll have to postpone saying thank you for a while.”
* * *
“Come on, put me down!”
Jinsan Yu was clinging to someone’s shoulder and stamping his feet.
It was Jeonghye, an apostate monk. I couldn’t come to my senses because they rushed at me as soon as they saw me.
It was an awkward situation because even the granddaughter he trusted ran away right away.
“Are you going to play with me today?”
Jin-san also knew it well. Jeonghye is not doing this with bad intentions.
Although he was not mentally sound, he was a person with a pure heart than anyone else.
But I couldn’t help it being annoying and annoying.
“I’m not old enough to be doing this now. “Ask my granddaughter to go and play.”
“The snow is so scary! What if you hit me? “I want to play with my brother~”
It was absolutely crazy. No matter how much I said, it was the same.
“What on earth am I doing with you?”
“don’t worry. “I’ll tell you something fun!”
“Why am I worried...”
Yu Jin-san opened his mouth without saying anything. This is because his body floated into the air. Jeonghye caught it and threw it.
It was rising endlessly, as if it were piercing the clouds.
“Ahh! “What are you doing now, you crazy idiot?”
Even though he was a martial arts expert, he probably wouldn’t fall, but he could have gotten hurt at this height.
In the far distance on the ground, Jeonghye was waving her hands.
Yu Jin-san, whose stomach felt cold, protected his whole body with energy and prepared for impact.
And after a while, something unbelievable happened.
“...?”
Yujinsan’s new model stopped in midair. To be exact, it was a class height above Jeonghye’s head.
He continued to wave his hands and tie himself in the air.
“Brother, from now on we will walk the same way!”
Walking in the air? It sounded crazy, but Jinsan Yu tried to imitate his steps once. If I refused, I didn’t know what else the distracted monk would do.
Yu Jin-san, who was floating in the air like that, moved his feet following Jeong-hye’s movements below. A slow yet strange gait, as if pushing against the current of the water.
After moving like that a few times, Yu Jin-san’s eyes opened brightly.
‘...Surely this new law?’
