Chapter 458
Episode 458
“Ugh….”
Kang Ja-jung swallowed a groan and opened his eyes.
My bone was throbbing and painful and I couldn’t even understand what had happened to me. Strange people appeared
through blurred vision .
I can’t even tell if there are four or five people because my vision is so blurry.
But one thing is certain. It is not his residence.
Where did the minions go? Why are you here? I tried to quickly shake my head, but what was more intense was the excruciating pain.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
He let out a scream.
The sensation and pain of my fingernails being pulled out reached my bone marrow.
The torture that was inflicted without even asking any questions was pushing Kang Ja-jung’s spirit deeper and deeper into the abyss.
“I told you to keep him alive, so you have to do it in moderation. “Don’t get scolded for no reason.”
“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t die, you don’t have to. Even though I die.”
The men burst into laughter.
Those who are in charge of torture within Haomun.
These were people who would do anything to obtain information.
He had an outstanding talent for inflicting extreme pain and knew better than anyone else how to keep people from dying during such torture.
The man asked, lightly pulling out another fingernail.
“Kkoaaaak!”
“Now tell me. Why did they kill that person in Beijing? Who are you and what happens to your family? “I wonder whose orders they were given… You won’t be able to get out of here until you tell everything from start to finish.”
I urged him to speak, but the man didn’t seem to have any intention of listening.
He just pulled out another nail and smiled joyfully as he watched the person writhing in pain.
“Hmm…”
Hong Won-chang opened his eyes in a cold sweat.
The moment he put the faces of the people he saw in front of him into his mind one by one, he unconsciously let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
“I guess I survived.”
“It’s like living and dying. “If it weren’t for me, you would have lost and died.”
Jang Sam-tae chuckled as he looked at Hong Won-chang, who was smiling helplessly.
Although he seemed to be disinterested in Heung Won-chang, he seemed to be one of those people who was more happy than anyone else that he had woken up.
I don’t know if Hong Won-chang knew or felt those feelings, but he opened his mouth with a small smile on his lips.
“Thank you. It was really dangerous this time. haha.”
“Are you laughing, human? That’s why he usually doesn’t listen to me when I tell him to practice martial arts. “Say.”
“Hmm… that’s a bit of a painful statement.”
Hong Wenchang nodded.
This does not mean that there is no smoke. At one time, he sparred with the police every day, and even now he is still learning the martial arts he received from Dan Woo-hyeon.
However, either because I lack talent or because it is too late, my skills rarely improve.
Nevertheless, it could be said to be quite remarkable in the sense that he was accumulating the skills of a first-class expert, and in this case, it was simply a case of meeting the wrong person.
Jang Sam-tae, who had no way of knowing such a situation, grumbled.
“Next time I see you, you might be a corpse. Damn it… if you don’t have the skills, buy a decent escort with the money!”
“Haha, I’ll think about it.”
Hearing Jang Sam-tae’s sharp words, Heung Won-chang nodded as if he would definitely do so.
After experiencing this incident, he also painfully realized the importance of escort.
At that time, the visit opened.
The person who naturally came inside, perhaps knowing that Hong Won-chang had woken up, was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon.
He glanced at Hong Won-chang, who had opened his eyes, and slowly approached him and sat down in front of him.
“I guess you’re okay.”
“It caused concern.”
“no. “There are some things you cannot handle on your own.”
This incident was not something that Hong Won-chang could have done with his own hands.
Since the evil demon captured Hong Won-chang in order to attack Dan Woo-hyeon in the first place, he did nothing wrong.
Rather, it is Dan Woo-hyeon who feels sorry.
Is that why?
I just looked at Hong Won-chang without saying a word.
Because those gazes were so burdensome, I unconsciously lowered my head and opened my mouth to break the silence.
“What happened to him…?”
“You mean reverse ghost?”
“yes.”
“He’s in the Hao Wen torture room. “You probably don’t look like a person by now.”
“Haomun… are you saying?”
“okay.”
Hong Wenchang frowned.
Since he was the culprit who had made himself like this, he wanted to do it himself, even if it meant torturing him. But since my body couldn’t move properly, I gave up on those things and tried to gather my mind.
“Don’t think about unnecessary things. “I will pull out information from Haomun and pass it on to the Heavenly Daohoe.”
“But he…
“Wouldn’t the Cheondohoe negotiate with the imperial family on its own? “You just have to get what you get from them.”
“You mean… what you’re going to get?…” Hong Won-chang broke into a cold sweat.
It was only then that I realized Dan Woo-hyeon’s thoughts.
The bounty on the back demon Kang Ja-jung was considerable. For once, even the Murim Alliance hung money around his neck, so Dan Woo-hyeon seemed intent on receiving the money from the Cheondohoe and the imperial family.
That terrifying obsession with money was almost tongue-in-cheek.
“But… what happened before Kang Ja-jung caught him?”
Hong Won-chang felt his senses come back.
Instantly, numerous things passed through his mind, and at the same time, an unknown feeling of anxiety rushed to his brain.
A man’s face came to mind.
A face that gives goosebumps and tingles the moment you look at it.
It did not look like a human; it looked like someone from outside the human race.
Hong Won-chang swallowed his dry saliva as he pictured in his mind the powerful impression he never wanted to recall again.
But I can’t help but say it. This is because it is none other than Dan Woo-hyeon’s question.
“The car was truly strange. “He killed all the police officers and subordinates with a single finger and came towards me.” Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae looked at Hong Won-chang with serious eyes.
Hong Won-chang, recalling that time, was still frightened.
The courage he showed when spitting at Kang Ja-jeung had disappeared and he seemed to be trembling like a rabbit in front of a tiger. That’s how much fear was imprinted on me. “I saw it the moment I touched my head
. “His face started to look more and more like mine… and it was as if he was pulling out my memories.”
“I see…”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded as if he understood.
When he first saw the evil-faced demon in the form of Hong Won-chang, Dan Woo-hyeon could not feel anything.
It was so natural, as if Hong Won-chang was really there in front of my eyes, that I couldn’t even suspect anything at first.
“Oh, but it’s still our Lord! “How did you know it was reversed?”
“It’s not reverse use.”
“yes?”
Hong Won-chang and Jang Sam-tae couldn’t help but feel puzzled at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.
Changing the face to someone else’s face is called transmutation, but what should we say when we say that’s not the case?
But Dan Woo-hyeon also couldn’t tell the story clearly.
It was somehow different from the basic reverse technique.
It felt like I had really become that person.
“How on earth did you know if it wasn’t Yeokyong?”
Jang Sam-tae asked with a puzzled expression.
There is no doubt that something other than Yeokyong was seen through.
Since even Jang Sam-tae was completely deceived, Dan Woo-hyeon’s greatness must be true.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression was not so good.
“It’s the wind.”
“wind…?”
“Okay…”
If I had missed the slight sense of difference I felt in the flowing wind, I could have been ambushed even if I was only on the starboard side.
‘That wind…’
Dan Woo-hyeon opened his eyes with a sigh.
A very strange feeling of wind flowed from the body of the demon.
I was able to realize it because I was somehow familiar with it.
Dan Woo-hyeon knows someone who has that kind of wish.
The person who is always by your side, smiling and smiling happily.
Is it just a simple illusion?
Or is it a coincidence?
My thoughts began to deepen.
Emperor Tianwu was chopping wood.
He was carving something using a small dagger, and when he put all the carvings together and put them up, it seemed as if they were symbolizing someone.
Each one was filled with sincerity.
The expression of not only the hem of the clothes but also the wrinkles on the face made me wonder if they had really created a human if only they had added color to it.
“As expected, it’s beautiful.”
Emperor Tianmu admired it and fell into deep thought.
Finally, I looked at the sculpture doll in the very center.
It is a carving of none other than the military god Dan Woo-hyeon. Next to him, a woman who appears to be Nam Joo-ryeon is also Tae Gong-jin, who had once deceived everyone and was with her.
Cheon Moo-gwang is now unknown whether he is dead or alive.
These sculptures were so beautiful that I thought they would sell for a considerable amount if put on the market.
Eventually, he placed what he was carving next to Dan Woo-hyeon.
It was a child.
It was sweet.
“How beautiful….”
Beautiful?
Certainly, the sculpture itself is beautiful, but Dan Woo-hyeon’s sharp eyes seen in the sculpture are completely different from how they are now, and it seemed as if he was looking at someone else.
The Danwoohyeon that I saw a thousand years ago.
A being full of life and only spreading death.
That person’s eyes were looking at Dansomi’s sculpture.
No matter what happens, Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze towards Dan So-mi will never be like that, but it seemed as if he was waiting for something like that.
Emperor Tianwu gently touched the piece of Dansomi with his fingers.
He moved back and forth for a while and opened his mouth.
“Home….”
What are you thinking?
As Emperor Chen Wu muttered those words, he recalled his meeting with Dan Xiaomi a long time ago. He was smiling as if he was imagining something very pleasant.
But soon.
Slurp!
A statue of Dansomi being touched.
The head slowly disappeared without a trace.
The powder flew around and before I knew it, the statue disappeared.
“I don’t think there’s any need to wait any longer…”
With those words, Emperor Wu stood up.
Then he looked with satisfaction at the remaining statues and turned his back.
His steps gained strength, and soon the door to Emperor Cheonmu’s residence was wide open. Soon, countless people appeared in Emperor Chen Wu’s gaze.
Everyone bowed their heads towards him and showed respect.
Emperor Chen Wu looked around at them and smiled with satisfaction. An incredibly reliable ally. They have been following and worshiping him for a very long time and living only for Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Cheonmu, looking at them, smiled.
“Let’s get started.”
