Episode 240: Take only good memories (1)
Yu Jin-san, who returned to the palace, looked again at Bulgwang Il-seonji’s status.
Although I felt empty without my granddaughter chattering next to me, it was a time when I could concentrate for the first time in my life.
It was when I was memorizing the martial arts skills for a long time.
‘hmm?’
He put down the scale and tilted his head. Because I could feel the presence of people at the door.
He looked at the door for a moment and spoke softly.
“If you have something to do, you’ll come in. Why are you hanging out in front?”
Now the door opened and someone appeared.
“It’s me, Daehyeop.”
It was Yeopseong, the owner of Cheongeomsanjang.
He approached me in an awkward posture.
Jinsan Yu stood up and greeted him.
“I guess you bought it. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. “I thought someone else was playing a prank.”
“no. We heard that you are helping us more than that. “I don’t know how to thank you...”
It seemed like she had heard that her granddaughter had agreed to help with the search.
Yu Jin-san said, waving one hand as if it was no big deal.
“Don’t worry about it. “I’m just paying for food as a temporary resident.”
“What do you mean by being a foodie? “Daehyup members are even more distinguished guests.”
Jinsan Yu smiled silently and stretched out his hand in the direction of the chair.
The doctor said that the conversation would be long so we should sit down and talk.
He waited until Ye Sheng sat down and then asked him anything he wanted to know.
“Has there ever been an accident like this in the past?”
“There have been a few minor problems, but this is the first time an entire convoy has gone missing like this.”
“hmm. Are there any people you have a grudge against?”
Ye Sheng slowly shook his head once.
“Although we do not shy away from lucrative requests, we have never done anything that violates human ethics.”
“Then what about the competing forces?”
“There are a few, but they are small. Moreover, since four of the Five Deadly Killers went with us, they cannot get on board the suspect ship.”
Eugene San thought for a moment while resting his hands on the table.
There are no masters who have a grudge, and there are no competing forces.
It occurred to me that perhaps the evil beasts were people I had never even thought of.
There were a few things I could think of, but I decided not to think about them now.
“I would like to sound hopeful, but from my experience, it doesn’t feel good. “It would be a good idea to prepare your mind to some extent.”
If there was a problem, everyone would have been wiped out already.
The reason I told him this was to prepare him in advance for the coming psychological shock.
“Do you think they’re all... dead?”
I couldn’t bear to say those words out loud.
Jinsan Yu did not give any answer.
“...”
Did he sense something ominous in his warning? Ye Sheng was silent for a moment.
After a while of silence.
He smiled darkly and handed me the gun.
“Thank you, Daehyeop.”
“Although the situation is not good, let’s wait a little longer. “Eomgae has followed, so he will bring some news.”
“Yes, I understand.”

Meanwhile, Yu Seol was racing through the sky without hesitation.
Cheon Woo-hwan was held in his grasp and he was swinging back and forth.
It looked like prey captured by an eagle.
Even a martial arts expert can’t help but feel anxious at such a great height.
“Ugh! “I think it’s over there!”
He couldn’t come to his senses.
Part of me wanted to close my eyes, but how could I? I had to find where my brothers were.
He was scared, but he kept looking around without stopping.
However, he could only make out the terrain and could not see properly with his eyesight.
“Have you found it yet?”
“That’s it. “I can’t see clearly...”
Why am I saying that now?
Yu Seol sighed and lowered his altitude.
“Ugh.”
Cheon Woo-hwan’s complexion also gradually returned, as if he could finally breathe.
After a while, I frantically searched for traces.
Suddenly, Yoo Seol’s head turned to the left. Something was discovered there.
He came to his senses, gathered himself and grabbed his sword.
“I’m sorry for being so rude, Daehyeop.”
“We have to find our younger siblings quickly. “Hurry up and just follow me.”
Yu Seol took the lead and began investigating the traces.
The abilities of sight, smell, and hearing were heightened to the limit.
My heightened senses were able to detect the movement of birds flying dozens of miles away.
But the vast forest of trees was so vast. So much so that it is difficult to escape even if you walk for several days.
After a while, Yoo Seol stopped walking with a serious expression on his face. Then Cheon Woo-hwan, who was following, asked with an anxious look.
“Did you find something?”
Yu Seol held out a hand behind her back and signaled for him to be quiet.
“Just stay still. “I think I just heard something.”
It seemed like a sound similar to a scream was heard from somewhere.
It was so far away from here that it was impossible to measure the distance.
What if a few people escaped alive? And if he was still running, it made perfect sense.
Yu Seol closed his eyes for a moment and slowly moved his head.
Then, at some point, his eyes widened and he stretched out his index finger.
“I think it’s over there. “Follow me quickly, mister.”
* * *
In a dense forest with no end in sight.
Two people were breathing heavily in an unknown place.
“Take a break for a bit, second brother. “I just can’t go.”
It was Cheon Woo-jin, one of the five extreme murderers and the youngest of the Cheon brothers.
He stopped walking, bent his knees and gasped.
His left sleeve was stained red and his face was pale, as if he had suffered an internal injury.
“I don’t have time for this, youngest. “You have to get away from here at least a little bit.”
The second child, Cheon Woo-seong, grabbed the youngest child’s right arm and pulled him with force.
He also did not have a normal appearance. I didn’t know that I had received a sword wound on my abdomen and that the blood that was there was not going to dry.
Nevertheless, he was full of determination to drag his youngest child away by force.
“Keuheuheu.”
The youngest child cried so hard that it was almost sobbing.
I was so sad that I couldn’t stop crying.
“why are you crying? Do you want to hear that the world’s greatest killer was a crybaby?”
The youngest, Cheon Woo-jin, said, wiping his tears with his sleeve.
“I heard that my fourth brother was conceived right in front of my eyes. How could we run away on our own...”
“It’s sad that Woomin went like that, but it’s better than dying all together. “We must survive to take revenge.”
“I will definitely get revenge. Definitely....”
“Yes. Let’s go back and discuss it with my eldest brother. “I need to quickly let you know that the damn old apprentice has tracked me all the way here...”
Cheon Woo-sung’s body froze before he spoke. This is because I sensed someone behind a tree about a dozen miles away.
Cheon Woo-jin also grabbed his sword with a hard look on his face.
“It looks like he’s already followed.”
“wait for a sec.”
After a while, Cheon Woo-jin was relieved as he felt the tension dissipating. Fortunately, it wasn’t an enemy.
The person approaching with a limp was Cheon Woo-geuk, the third of the five extreme murderers.
Cheon Woo-jin quickly approached, crying.
“Third brother?”
“You’re alive, youngest child. “My second brother too...”
Cheon Woo-seong, the second oldest brother, also asked with a happy face if he was happy to see them again.
“What on earth happened?”
“All the kids who ran away with me are dead.”
“It’s the same for us. “Only my youngest and I managed to escape.”
“I never thought the entire convoy would be attacked by just one person... But why can’t I see the fourth?”
Cheon Woo-seong and Cheon Woo-jin’s complexions darkened again.
“....”
I couldn’t bear to say that my brother had been murdered right in front of my eyes.
From their reactions, Cheon Woo-geuk was also able to notice the English text. That the fourth died.
It was not the time to be steeped in sadness. He changed the topic in a droopy voice.
“It’s not the time to be like this. “We have to move quickly.”
At that time, Cheon Woo-seong looked at his leg with worried eyes.
“Are your legs okay? “It looks like you’re hurt a lot.”
“There is no problem with moving. Doesn’t he look worse than me?”
It wasn’t just the third brother’s leg.
Everyone had injuries big and small.
Still, someone will have to take the lead and pioneer the lush forest path.
Cheon Woo-seong stepped forward with a solemn expression.
“I will lead the way, so please follow me.”
