Absolute Regression Chapter 141

Episode 141: Make the right choice this ti.

I chose the path I knew.

Even before the regression, I chose the right mission, and today I also chose the right envelope.

I can accomplish any mission now!

This is not the ti to express such confidence. It was an opportunity to humbly make up for past failures.

There was a piece of paper in the envelope with these four letters written on it.

Punishnt for false demons.

That was the order that had been given to before.

Sima Ming sent a ssage and explained. This was so that the two people would not know each other’s mission.

―Recently, a strange organization called Cheonmyeonghoe (天命會) has begun to operate secretly in Moorim. Although they have raised the banner of creating a new martial arts group under heaven’s command, they are only seeking personal gain. Recently, he impersonated our school’s Mazon and caused several incidents, reaching a point where we could no longer ignore him. Gongja Lee, find out and kill them, and eliminate Cheonmyeonghoe.

In fact, when I heard this sermon before returning, I thought they were funny. It was not because of his ability, but because of the fact that he impersonated the Mazon of our school.

But now I take it differently. Dare to impersonate Mazon ans that you are either confident enough to handle it or that there may be another plan hidden behind you. These guys are not ordinary guys.

“I will follow your orders.”

After I received the mission, Geommuyang chose the remaining envelopes. Of course, I know full well what mission is written on that envelope.

Sima Ming gave basic information to Geommuyang via e-mail and then spoke to the two of us.

“You must complete the mission alone. However, while the two of you are on a mission, you can use all of the information networks of our school’s Tongcheon Pavilion, and you can use any of our school’s four magicians, including the Demon Army, and the Palma Zone, just once.”

It ant that you could solve it on your own, but get help from our school when subduing them.

After Sima Ming finished speaking, my father spoke.

“A frog in a well or a flower in a greenhouse cannot lead our school. Co back after clearly solving the problem!”

My father entrusts with this dangerous mission and doesn’t say a word to be careful. I smiled and eased the tense atmosphere.

“Father, who among us would you like to succeed?”

The corners of my father’s mouth rose slightly at my question. I can feel that he is holding back what he wants to say.

In fact, my father’s eyes looking down at us were fair. He didn’t even give a personal glance to or my brother.

Before the regression, I was not looking at my father at this mont. All I could think about was completing my mission sohow.

But now I was looking at my father.

Don’t worry dad. I will resolve it safely and co back.

He conveyed that belief with his eyes. This was also an effort to beco a successor. The more my father believes in , the closer I will be to becoming his successor.

My gaze, which had been directed at my father, turned to Geommuyang.

‘Brother, co back and do well like before. I will do well and co back. Oh, don’t look at so coldly without even knowing how I feel.’

* * *

The next morning, as we were getting ready to leave, Ian ca to visit.

“Did you call ?”

“I will leave school for a while and then co back.”

“Where are you going?”

“I can’t reveal it.”

I raised my finger and pointed upward. Ian realized that he was leaving to carry out orders from Cheonmajeon.

“Please buy sothing delicious when you co!”

“I’m not going out to have fun. “I’m going to take care of sothing very dangerous.”

“I’m busy with martial arts training, so I’ll go first.”

“Terrible enemies are about to pour in.”

“Bye!”

Ian, who had run to the door, sighed and turned around.

“How good would it be if it went like this? How dangerous is it? “I will go with you and help you.”

She had changed from Ian, who was playing around, to Ian, who worried about whether he was sleeping or waking up.

“It’s sothing you have to do alone. And I’m kidding too. “You don’t have to worry.”

“Really?”

“Don’t worry, mind your own business.”

“Even so, Cheongmyeon ca to visit not long ago.”

I watched the two people eting, but I pretended not to notice.

“You’re going to encourage it?”

“No, you’re still thinking. “He just asked a few questions and left.”

“What’s your feeling?”

“It’s half and half. Actually, I really want you to co now, but I think I’ll be more worried if you actually co. Because of , you get to live a new life.”

“Worrying about what happens next is ignoring Cheongmyeon’s concerns. “At first glance, it might seem like you should be responsible for that person, but that’s not the case at all.”

“That’s not true?”

“Yes, Cheongmyeon also ca after careful consideration. I’m coming because I decided it would be more beneficial to co to you by hitting hard on the abacus. If you co and decide it’s not right, you’ll go back. So don’t feel pressured.”

Ian grinned at my words.

“Be strong, Ian. Then nine out of ten problems you worry about will be solved by themselves.”

After saying goodbye to Ian, I left the residence.

I planned to see the Mazon once before leaving. These are people I don’t need to take care of, but this ti I wanted to see them once in a while.

The first place I stopped by was Extrely Evil Soma’s Wicked Song.

He was always looking at the wall in that white room, but today Cheongmyeon announced his absence.

“Mazon was expelled from church a few days ago.”

“Can you tell where you went?”

“You left without telling .”

“When you get back, tell them I stopped by.”

“Yes, I will.”

As I turned around and ca out, Cheongmyeon asked .

“I would like to ask you one thing.”

“Please speak.”

“You might think this is a strange question, but what kind of organization is this, Mr. Lee?”

I knew why he was asking this question, so I answered honestly.

“This is an organization that will beco my main force in the future. It is also an organization led by the person I care about the most. It will probably be the busiest organization in Moorim. So much so that I can’t help but say that it was good to be under Extre Demon Soma.”

I could see the eyes inside Cheongmyeon’s mask smiling.

“Thank you for telling .”

Cheongmyeon bowed his head and said hello. I could have said a few words for Ian, but I didn’t. Even regret will only be a valuable regret if you make your own judgnt and decision.

Next, I stopped by Ilhwa Geomzon.

After hearing about Chwima’s past, I started thinking about her life at least once.

If things had worked out well with Hyeolcheon Doma, would she have been happier than she is now?

“You seem to be younger these days.”

“Stop talking nonsense. “I’m worried because my wrinkles are increasing a lot these days.”

At the sa ti, Ilhwa Geomzon’s face brightened after receiving a complint on his appearance for the first ti in a long ti.

“I heard you drank alcohol?”

“How did you know?”

“Chwima has gone. I gave it to him because he said so good alcohol had arrived. “He suddenly did sothing he had never done before.”

“What did you say when you gave the drink?”

“I was so proud and happy that I beca a friendly person with you.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good thing. “If you are on friendly terms with , the distribution will be all ssed up.”

“Then you can still be friends with .”

“Don’t say that even if it’s a joke. “I said it as a joke.”

Chwima probably didn’t co to boast about his reputation. She must have confessed everything to and felt sorry for her.

It remained to be seen how Chuma would act.

“As you know, Chuma and Doma are not on good terms. Is that okay?”

“Senior, you should help .”

“how?”

“Even if you don’t feel like it, please say good things about Mr. Thomas. I know it’s sothing you don’t like. “Still, please look at my face.”

Ilhwa Geomzon did not respond. It seems that even my face can’t get rid of the antipathy toward chopping block yet.

Still, I hope it will be better than before. If Chwima stops criticizing Hyeolcheon Doma and speaks positively, her feelings toward Doma may gradually change as well.

Next, I stopped by Chwima.

But Yeo-bin delivered unexpected news.

“Master Chwi ca to the closed training center.”

I was surprised because it was a sudden statent.

“Suddenly closing the training center?”

“He said he’s been drinking too much lately and needs to expel so of his cycle.”

“It’s a good thing, right?”

“Yes, it was sothing I really wanted. Thank you, Gongja Lee.”

“you’re welco. “I promised to drink less and eat more snacks when I drink, so please take care of .”

“Yes, I will.”

I felt it for a long ti. That this female benefactor likes to drink alcohol. Does Chuma know that feeling? I wonder if, like a snorkel, he knows but pretends not to notice.

Among the Magons, I last stopped by the abode of Blood Heavenly Demon.

“The elders’ attitude is becoming harsher.”

Today too, it was Hyeolcheon Doma who was in ditation mode.

“The more you grow, the harsher your enemies will beco.”

“Are you really training to deal with my enemies? Are you planning on getting into a fight with the Mazons who support your brother?”

“It’s not just because of the successor fight.”

“sure?”

“Do you rember what I said before? “When a dragon ascends to heaven, it brings rain and wind.”

“sure. The old man said that. “My people are being swept away by the wind and rain.”

“That’s right. “You said that loaches cause flat land waves in muddy water, but I think the sleeping dragons of Murim will wake up from the flat land waves.”

“Aren’t you overestimating ?”

“Looking at what you’ve shown so far, this is an underestimation. Be careful even when you go out. It seems that the main church and the Murim Apostolic Association are dividing and controlling the martial arts, but compared to the total number of Murim people, they are only a very small number. We don’t know where those stronger than us will erge. Don’t forget. “A place where there are as many people as grains of sand is a powerhouse.”

“I will always make careful decisions before making any moves.”

“And just a mont.”

Hyeolcheondoma went into the room and ca out with a small box. When I opened it, there was a herbal dicine inside.

“It’s a quick attack group. “Use it if you’re in a hurry.”

Quick-gongdan was a simple dicine that, when taken when internal energy was depleted, restored internal energy two or three tis faster than usual.

Since there were no side effects, it could only be obtained by paying a large amount of money, and even that was not easy to obtain because it was not common.

“Save it and use it for your elders.”

“Are you planning to pamper the old man by feeding him Sogongdan? “You can take it and use it yourself.”

He forced the quick attack into my hand. My heart swelled as I felt concern and sorrow for myself.

Don’t worry, old man. I will travel safely.

As expected, I enjoyed the atmosphere.

“Is there anything more you can give ? “Go in and find out more.”

“There is none! “Not anymore!”

“I see that you strongly deny it. “I look forward to seeing you again next ti.”

I smiled and said hello and was about to turn around when Hyeolcheondoma asked.

“What happened with the sneaky guy?”

“We have decided to treat each other differently from now on.”

Hyeolcheondoma made a dumbfounded expression and then an expression of admiration.

“If you were a loach, you would never have been able to get along with that insidious bastard.”

It ant that although he didn’t like the taste of the horse, it was a great thing to be friendly with the taste of the horse.

“I trust my elders and do whatever I want.”

“So you’re wielding this heavy sword with this old body, aren’t you?”

After leaving Hyeolcheondoma’s residence, I left the church.

When I reached a deserted place, I started running in earnest. These days, it’s better to move alone, even if it’s because of the speed walk.

However, even while running, I definitely rested when I had to rest. This is because everything I do this ti will be reported to Cheonmajeon. There was no need to tell everyone that I could run incredibly fast.

I ran with my high speed gait to its extre, and when I arrived at a certain point, I spent the rest of the ti there practicing the rest of my speed gait.

The dark light beca more secretive, the blinking light beca faster, and the bright light beca more ferocious. Training and training again. I put all my effort and concentration into it. For the ti being, my martial arts goal was to beco a master of Poongsinsabo.

According to the data sent by Tongcheongak, Cheonmyeonghoe caused several incidents in the Honam area.

The two places where recent incidents occurred were Yeongheung (永興) and Dong-gu (洞口).

In the past, I went to Yeongheung to investigate the case and track down Cheon Myeong-hoe. However, in conclusion, it was revealed that the Yeongheung incident was not the work of the Cheonmyeonghoe. This was done by those who imitated the Cheonmyeonghoe.

As a result, I wasted a lot of ti in the past and belatedly went to Dong-gu to chase their traces. Because of that, I beca impatient and missed clues that I should have found, and ended up failing the mission.

Of course, I made the right choice this ti.

When I arrived in Dong-gu, I went straight to Wolpungmun (月風門) where the incident took place.
