Episode 377 First Mission (3)
Yu Jin-san was infiltrating the interior of Cheonryongsa Temple, following the Baeksang.
‘Is this really the head of the Black Cat? It’s an amazing stealth technique.’
The movements of Baeksang, who took the lead, were truly admirable.
His new form was transformed into fog and was so secretive that even the slightest trace could not be felt.
Soon he landed on the roof of the empty temple and put one hand behind his back.
– Please wait a moment.
Jinsan Yu, who followed behind Baeksang, nodded and looked around.
Several large and small shrines were built here and there, and in the center was a very tall six-story stone pagoda.
And in the innermost part of the temple, I saw a magnificent hall that seemed to be the main hall.
The night was getting deeper, but it wasn’t that dark due to the lanterns hanging here and there. So much so that you can easily recognize the faces of the monks walking around the temple.
– I can see traces of learning martial arts from monks.
Baeksang in front also nodded as if he agreed with what he said.
A restrained gait and an unusual eye glow. And there were more than a few clues, including a hand full of calluses.
It was common for monks to train in martial arts, but the problem lay in their extent.
Each and every one of you feels stronger than the monks of the Shaolin Temple? According to common sense, this could not have happened.
– Some are not average. First, let’s go up to the top of that stone pagoda and take a look.
A six-story stone pagoda about twenty feet high would provide a panoramic view of the temple.
After a while, the two new models took off one after another.
fault-! Taaa-!
The two made a lunge in the middle and quickly climbed to the top.
Jinsan Yu had reached the peak of Hwagyeong, and Baeksang was an absolute powerhouse not far behind him.
None of the monks passing by were able to capture the two’s movements.
After a while, Jinsan Yu, who had been spying on the temple, muttered with a face full of questions.
“Where are the monks at this time...”
The monks were moving somewhere in a line as if they had made an appointment.
Baeksang, who was observing their route, pointed to the innermost part of the temple and said.
“I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but it looks like they’re gathering at the main hall.”
Why do monks gather at the main hall at night?
This was not a normal situation.
“Anyway, I think now is the perfect opportunity to find out if there are any kidnapped children.”
“I will go and take a look, so Elder Yanggoi, please send a signal from here.”
So far, there haven’t been any enemies that could pose a threat, but there’s no harm in being careful.
“I understand. “I think that would be a good idea.”
Excluding the main hall, there are nine buildings in total.
It won’t take long to check it out on your own.
There was no need to go inside. If there are children, they will be able to detect their presence nearby.
Baeksang’s new form flew up again from the top of the stone pagoda.
Taaa-!
He landed like a bat and started circling quickly from the outskirts of the temple.
Jinsan Yu watched his surroundings from the top of the stone pagoda and exchanged signals.
And that time when the final temple was in front of me.
The white elephant sent a gesture toward the top of the stone pagoda.
‘Come down?’
Without wasting time, Jin-san Yu rushed towards the shrine where he was located.
Taaa-!
Disappointingly, there was no sign of popularity inside.
But there must be a reason why he asked me to come.
– It’s faint, but I felt something inside.
The sense of a super special assassin does not lie.
Jinsan Yu nodded and Baeksang opened the door in front of him.
Squeak-!
As expected, there was no one inside.
Unfortunately, what the white elephant sensed was not a person.
‘It’s a lot later than I thought.’
As I stood still and listened to the strange Buddhist scriptures, I felt like I was losing my mind.
And when his anxiety reached its peak.
Finally, a faint fog began to billow at the entrance to the main hall. It was a stealth technique that could never be detected if it was not intended.
Baeksang’s expression looked dark after he finished his search, wondering what had happened.
Jinsan Yu unfolded a sound-blocking shield and asked urgently.
“What happened?”
“The child we are looking for is in there.”
“her. “What on earth is going on there?”
“I was performing a ritual. “I will probably be killed soon.”
“Are you sure they were capturing children and offering them as sacrifices?”
Baeksang nodded with murderous eyes.
“I’m sure.”
“Then I guess we should hurry and rescue him. “How many of them are there?”
“About fifty people. “There are some experts among them that cannot be ignored.”
“Do you think it would be difficult for the two of us to subdue them all?”
The shadow on Baeksang’s face became darker as he hesitated to answer for a moment.
“There is no problem with the subordinates, but the person who appears to be the head priest seems too dangerous. “Because of him, we couldn’t go deep, so we only looked at the entrance and left.”
There was no reason for the Black Cat’s master to talk nonsense.
If his senses felt that way, he was probably a fearsome expert.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought along the shaman....”
“Hoeju-nim, you are not very busy these days. “Anyway, we don’t have much time, so we have to decide quickly.”
If you were with your granddaughter, what would you have to worry about? However, as the head of the Cheonyuhoe, Yuseol was unable to leave the meeting at the moment.
However, there was no time to bring in other experts from headquarters.
A decision has to be made somehow.
Jinsan Yu crossed his arms and pondered for a moment.
‘If we are going to fight, we must put an end to it. Otherwise, all efforts to find this place will be in vain.’
The problem was that the head monk did not anticipate how strong he would be.
It seemed like if I could just finish him, I could do anything about the rest.
“Could Lord Wen assassinate the head priest?”
“It’s impossible to even try in there. “You will be discovered before you attack.”
No matter how much of a super assassin you are, there will be many restrictions on your actions there. Besides, aren’t there a lot of monsters with lights in their eyes?
In that case, we have no choice but to use another method.
“Then I will try to lure them out. “If a fight breaks out, Lord Munju will attack him secretly.”
“I can’t guarantee the results, but I’ll do my best.”
There was no time to hesitate.
Jinsan Yu exchanged a look with Baeksang and then approached the main hall.
As I climbed the stairs, I could clearly see the inside.
Monks lined up in a row were reciting strange sermons, and in front of them was the head monk wearing a blood-stained mask of an evil spirit, clutching a dagger.
With that, he was poised as if he was going to stab the child on the altar.
Soon after, Yu Jin-san, holding the dragon spear, stood at the entrance of the main hall and shouted.
“You crazy people! “Are you saying you’re still human!?”
At his one word, the monks’ murmurs simultaneously stopped.
Then, about fifty monsters turned their heads behind them at the same time.
“....”
Eugene San, who made eye contact with the monsters, felt a chill for an instant.
Because the whites of their eyes were not visible.
Just looking at the ink-black eyes gave me goosebumps.
But that didn’t mean Yujinsan was going to retreat.
To attract enemies, you need to provide a clear stimulus.
“Whether you are an Asura or a Gaesura, know that you will all die at the hands of Nobu today!”
It was a blasphemy against the evil god worshiped by the Asura religion.
And the effect exceeded expectations.
All the monsters in the main hall jumped up from their seats and started running towards him like crazy.
