Absolute Regression Chapter 57

Episode 57 I hope no other monsters appear.

The next day, the news that the Suphonmazon had died hit the church.

Many people have died recently, but Majon’s death was a problem of a different level. An ergency was declared on campus and a full-scale investigation began.

It was Hwang Cheon-gak who went out to investigate the incident. As the matter was a serious matter, all special investigators and 20 executive officers went to Seo Hwan-jin.

In front of the soul mazon’s residence, his disciples and magicians were camped.

“You can’t go in.”

They never wanted to let us in. They were panicking and didn’t know how to handle this situation. We decided to block our entry and exit for now until the other mazons made a decision.

I didn’t necessarily clash with them.

“Good. Then, at least let the old man in. “Shouldn’t the body be disposed of so that it doesn’t decompose and the exact cause of death should be revealed?”

Ma Yi was known as a politically neutral figure, and everyone at our school trusted and respected him, so they did not reject the offer.

After conducting a thorough autopsy for a while, the Demon Doctor ca out and spoke to the disciples of the Sub-Hon Mazon.

“It looks like he died because his heart and blood vessels throughout his body were severely damaged due to excessive self-inflicted energy. “There were no signs of intrusion or fighting, and he was not poisoned, so it appears he died from poisoning.”

The disciples sighed at those words, and I was secretly happy.

As long as the words ‘Iljuhwama’ ca out of the devil’s mouth, it was possible to avoid looking for the evil beast.

On the way out of Seohwanjin and on the way to report to Cheonmajeon, Seo Daeryong asked carefully.

“…isn’t it?”

“what?”

“You know, that.”

As if he did not dare to say it in words, Seo Dae-ryong sent a ssage.

―Gakju didn’t kill the Subhonmazon, right?

-why? Do you think I killed him?

―…You brought the child to yesterday, right? This is a child who almost fell victim to the Great Law of the Heart.

Where is that? When I left the church two months ago, he told that he used his eyes to make the impossible possible. Now the impossible has beco possible and has beco a reality.

-Do you really want to know?

-No, no! I’d rather not know. I’ll go back first.

Seo Dae-ryong turned and walked towards Hwangcheongak.

Cheonmajeon could be seen in the distance.

How will your father react?

* * *

I slowly walked down the bloody path.

My father was sitting in the royal palace as always. Today, Sima Ming, the commander-in-chief, was also there.

After greeting the two, Sima Ming asked :

“What was it like when Prince Lee was expelled from school?”

“I used work as an excuse and had a good ti.”

“Your face looks better.”

“Soldier, don’t just work, get so fresh air and play around.”

“After not playing all my life, the day I play for once, enemies usually attack.”

We laughed together at Sima Ming’s joke.

After saying hello with a light joke, I reported on the death of the Subhonmazon.

“The magician ca to the conclusion that it was a coin imrsion.”

At my words, my father and Sima Ming said nothing for a mont. I could feel it. That the two people do not believe in the results. What is the probability that a person like a mazon will suddenly fall into a poison spell and die?

So I played first.

“It’s hard to believe that soone of the level of a soul mazon was struck by a demon. “It is possible that he was murdered by soone.”

“That’s a possibility.”

“We will investigate the incident at Hwangcheon Pavilion.”

“Mazon will co forward and investigate this matter.”

“Why don’t we do it?”

“For generations, Cheonmajeon cannot intervene in relation to the death of the Majon. “I have no choice but to watch everything.”

“Well, if that’s the case, I won’t co forward. “It’s nice and comfortable for us.”

After talking about a few things about this incident, Sima Ming naturally left the room.

When Sima Ming retreated, his father asked directly.

“How did you kill him?”

“What do you an?”

“How did you kill Seophon?”

My father’s emotion was not anger but curiosity. Because my father was not the kind of person who had regrets about people who had already died. You are probably thinking this.

How on earth did this guy kill Seophon? And that too with the sign of the coin.

“In tis like this, I would like to give you a nice answer. They killed him like this because of this and that. But you’re overestimating it. “No matter how good my talent is, it’s not great enough to cause the Subsoul Mazon to fall into a poison spell and die.”

Actually, I wanted to be honest with my father.

However, there was no way to explain how the blood stability water was obtained. At least it was fortunate that the Seobhonmazon died after falling into a demon.

If the person had died in a fight rather than a suicide attack, the cause of death would have been thoroughly analyzed to find out who killed him. So I would have had to bury the body sowhere. Anyway, in many ways, it would have been more troubleso than it is now.

“I drank all night with Mr. Thomas yesterday. “He guarantees my actions.”

But my father snorted.

“Did you two go and kill them together?”

“no. Absolutely not. Father, this is a punishnt from heaven. “Suphonmazon was a monster that ripped out people’s hearts alive.”

Anyway, my father believes that I killed him.

Nevertheless, there is another reason for not telling the truth.

Because it was a truth that would be a burden to my father. Because we end up in a situation where we have to close our eyes even though we know that we killed Mazon.

My father looked down at in silence for a mont and suddenly spoke.

“Now that the soul is dead, even the quiet mazons will move.”

Palmazon is a life and death community. The death of one person is a threat to all. Just as my father doubted , they might also doubt .

I looked at my father and spoke calmly.

“I just hope that no other monsters erge in the process.”

* * *

The place I visited after leaving Cheonmajeon was Bukcheongeomga.

The person who welcod was Saujong.

“Welco, Gongja Lee.”

He faced with a brighter face than usual.

‘Saujong-ah, Saujong-ah. Do you know that, strictly speaking, you killed the Subsoulmazon?’

If he hadn’t brought in the Subsoul Mazon, I wouldn’t have known about the Heart and Soul Great Law.

The person who was most surprised and embarrassed in this situation would be Saujong Lee. I should have died, but the soul mazon died.

He guided to the front of the mook, greeted politely, and then turned around.

“Then let’s talk.”

It was clear that he was not a good guy, but that didn’t an he could be punished for attracting the Soul Mazon.

I’ll pretend not to notice and keep an eye on him, but if there’s a need to use him, I plan to use him then.

“Welco, Gongja Lee.”

In the past, Ilhwa Geomzon would only take care of the flower garden without even looking back, but now he welcod warmly.

“how are you?”

“I heard you were expelled from school. “Did you have a good trip?”

“yes. “I ca back after getting so fresh air.”

“Every ti I see Gongja Lee, he makes a fortune.”

“Do you think I’ve changed?”

Is it because of the three-day affair with ? She is definitely sensitive to my changes.

“To the point where I feel like I want to apply for military service right away.”

“Let’s have a seat soti soon.”

“Good. “You’re welco anyti.”

I held out what I had brought for her.

“This may be a small gift, but it is a gift to my senior.”

What I brought were seeds that are difficult to find in this area.

“I brought this flower because it has a nice scent.”

“Oh, this is your first ti receiving seeds as a gift?”

“It’s my first ti too.”

“Thank you, I will try to raise it well. Now, let’s go in and have so tea.”

I went inside her house for the first ti.

The place was elegantly decorated and slled good.

“The house is cozy and nice.”

“Good. “It’s a place where an old woman lives alone, so there’s nothing special about it.”

“How old are you? Co take a walk down the streets of Hangzhou with . “Probably, every ti you walk 10 steps, guys will co over and ask you to have a drink with them.”

“Nonsense!”

Even while waving her hands, she couldn’t hide her smile. She is less sensitive to praise than to praise for her excellent swordsmanship.

“Let’s go next ti. “Together with Mr. Thomas.”

When Thomas was ntioned, her expression hardened slightly. She still has a bad relationship with Thomas. Since I’m stuck in the middle, I just don’t vote as much as possible. Reconciling with Thomas was still not easy.

She naturally changed the topic.

“Did you hear the news that the Soul Mazon died?”

“Yes, I heard.”

“Were you… involved in that death?”

Then he looked at intently.

At this mont, her eyes were cold. Regardless of his kindness towards , the death of the Subhonor Mazon was sothing that made other Mazons nervous.

The awareness that if one thing collapses, everything may collapse has been their survival principle for a very long ti.

“The doctor concluded that he died from poisoning.”

“No mazon will believe that.”

“But not .”

Ilhwageomjon looked suspicious at my firm words, but I couldn’t tell if he was also skeptical in his heart.

“Why did you think it was ?”

Maybe it’s because of the rain. Because I knew that my skills were on par with hers.

“Because the lake is shaking due to the ripples you caused. Oh, you said you like stormy seas, not lakes, right? The mont you take a dip, the peaceful lake has already turned into the sea. “The Soul Mazon was the first to drown in that sea.”

“I am a fisherman in that sea. “It doesn’t kill people by drowning them.”

“That would be correct. “I caught a chopping board.”

“Is it difficult for you, senior?”

“It might be possible if we release the fish we caught. “Because I don’t want to go into a fishing net with a cutting board in it.”

I smiled slightly and she didn’t smile.

“You don’t know what happens to people. “Suphonmazon was a person who cared so much for himself… I never thought he would be the first to die like this.”

“Seo Hwan-jin will be confused for a while.”

“There will be a battle for successor.”

When a Magon dies, a successor takes over, and if he or she is recognized by four of the remaining seven Magons, he or she becos the successor.

Subhonmazon had five disciples. Since he died without having officially decided on a successor, the most outstanding person among the five will succeed the Subhonmazon.

“Who do you support?”

“Why are you curious about that?”

“Wouldn’t it be better if soone from our side takes over?”

“Our side?”

“Yes, our side. “We are non-Music friends.”

She hit the bow before she could think of the chopping board.

She finally smiled faintly, probably because the term “bimu friend” was funny.

“You can share the sa ideas with your non-mu friends.”

After chatting with her so more, I said goodbye.

“I will leave for today.”

“Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”

Ilhwa Geomzon followed him out to the yard.

“Gongja Lee. When fishing, so fish are easy to catch, while others hold tight in the water. But be careful. “So fish may jump out and attack the angler, or even capsize the boat.”

In short, it ant to be careful of other Palmazons other than Domana himself.

“Thank you for your concern.”

“And don’t forget, I haven’t caught any fish yet.”

“Isn’t just giving this advice a half-caught fish?”

Ilhwa Geomzon didn’t look that upset when he was told that he was half-caught. Maybe we are just acknowledging it to that extent.

“Then take care until we see you next ti.”

After leaving the house and walking a little, I looked back and saw that she was in the yard, planting the seeds I had given her in the soil. It seems like only yesterday that he was staring at so scary, but we have already beco like this.

She’s right. I really don’t know what happens to people.

As my father and Ilhwageomjon warned, there was a eting of the Seven Majons that very day.

It was a special eting prepared due to the death of the Subhonmazon. Since it was a eting attended only by Magons, not even my father knew what they talked about.

On the night of the eting, Hyeolcheon Doma ca to see . His expression was not good.

“Do you have alcohol?”
