I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 327:

Treasure Hunt (6)

“What’s going on here?”

Baek Moo-gang approached with a bright smile.

The rusty iron sword in my hand swayed gently like a tail.

Ohjin answered in a calm voice, hiding his agitation.

“I came to look for the old man.”

“Huh? me?”

Baek Mu-gang opens his eyes wide and tilts his head.

“How did you come to me?”

“I used the compass you gave me last time.”

“Compass…? ah! “I gave it to you!”

Baek Moo-gang claps his hands as if he had completely forgotten.

Baek Moo-gang, who was clapping his hands like crazy, extended his hand to Oh Jin.

“Nice to meet you again! Uh, so… what was the good guy’s name?”

Did you even forget the name?

“It’s a misdiagnosis.”

“Oh right! Misdiagnosis! lol. “I remembered!”

Baek Mu-gang’s eyes sparkle as if asking for praise.

For a moment, the question crossed my mind as to whether it would have been a good idea to help Baek Moo-gang find the treasure and then ask for his cooperation.

“Ugh…”

The jackal, who was kneeling and watching, groaned and got up.

The jackal lifted himself up using the half-broken spear as a cane and started running away without even looking back.

When Ojin frowned and tried to chase after the jackal.

“Just wait a moment.”

Baek Moo-gang took a step forward.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

An ice sheet was created in an instant starting from his toes.

Baek Mu-gang’s body slid forward as if skating.

“You can’t run away.”

Baek Moo-gang caught up with the fleeing jackal in an instant and cut off his shin with his sword.

A jackal with its leg cut off rolled on the floor.

Baek Mu-gang approached the fallen jackal and aimed his sword at his neck.

“Where did you hide my treasure?”

“What on earth is that treasure?!”

“A treasure is a treasure.”

“This crazy guy!”

The jackal looked up at Baekmu-gang with a pale, tired expression.

“A bad person stole my treasure. “The treasure is precious.”

Thin tendons sprouted from Baek Mu-gang’s hand as he held the sword.

Baek Moo-gang glared at the jackal with burning eyes.

“Where is the bad guy now?”

“…Are you talking about Deimos?”

I didn’t know what treasure the old ghost was looking for.

I could vaguely tell that the ‘bad person’ he was referring to was Deimos.

Deimos’ greed for priceless treasures was famous.

“I don’t know the name. But my treasure was stolen. “We have to get it back.”

“under. “Are you asking me where Deimos is?”

The jackal snorted and grabbed the broken spear.

He asked me, a knight of Deimos and not another demon, where he was.

“Glory be in gold.”

The jackal stabbed himself in the neck with a broken spear.

Cough.

The jackal’s body, which vomited blood, collapsed.

“Ahh!”

Baek Moo-gang approached the screaming jackal, but the jackal had already stopped breathing.

“I didn’t hear it again!”

Baek Moo-gang stamps his feet in frustration.

‘I can’t believe Mine committed suicide.’

Oh Jin was equally surprised.

I never expected that Majin would have such loyalty that he would kill himself for the master he served.

‘Even if they’re demons, they’re not all the same.’

Ohjin, who was looking down at the jackal’s corpse with a complicated expression, turned his head towards Baekmugang.

“Are you looking for treasure while killing demons here?”

“huh. There’s a bad person here. But it doesn’t tell you where it is.”

Is that why they were searching for Deimos while ruthlessly capturing and stomping on demons?

Now I think I understand why the knights of Deimos were frightened when they saw humans.

“Do you mind if I help you find the treasure?”

Although I briefly considered whether to ask Baek Moo-gang for cooperation or not.

Seeing Baek Moo-gang’s skill in chasing the jackal and cutting off its leg in an instant, I was inclined to help him find the treasure.

“You want to help me find the treasure?”

“yes. But if you find the treasure, come with me…”

“Wow! After all, a good person! Oh Jin is a good person!”

Baek Moo-gang jumps up and down, clapping his hands like a child without listening to what is being said.

Oh Jin swallowed his sleep and turned around.

“Let’s go back and make a plan first.”

“huh! okay!”

Hehe, Baek Mu-gang nods his head with an innocent smile.

“Oh, can you wait here for a moment?”

“Huh? why?”

“I have some work to do. “It only takes 10 minutes.”

Right now, Ha-eun and Isabella were wearing only a towel.

If Baek Moo-gang was suddenly taken away, a very embarrassing situation would arise.

“Uhm… okay! “I’ll wait here!”

Baek Moo-gang sits down with his butt on the floor.

Oh Jin nodded and returned to where Ha Eun and Isabella were.

“Did you catch the guy who was running away?”

“I’ve cleaned up everything here.”

When he returned, Ha-eun and Isabella, who had been waiting for him, approached him.

“What about Riak and Vega?”

“Mr. Riak returned to the sanctuary due to his wounds, and Vega went with him to take care of Mr. Riak.”

“okay?”

but.

It is said that Riak had the upper hand in the fight itself, but the burn on his cheek was not a wound that could be overlooked lightly.

“I have something to talk about more briefly.”

“huh? “What are you talking about?”

Oh Jin told the two women about his meeting with Baek Moo-gang.

“You met that strange installment?”

“huh. So, I’m thinking of calling you over and making some future plans together…”

He continued, glancing at the two women’s clearly exposed shoulders and legs.

“First, put on your clothes properly.”

“Oh right.”

“I see.”

The two women nodded and hurried back to the tent.

After changing my clothes, I returned with the two women to where Baek Moo-gang was waiting.

“You’re here! “I kept my promise!”

Baek Moo-gang, who had been quietly sitting in his seat and waiting without even a hint of confusion, suddenly stood up.

“It’s been a while since I paid installments.”

“Have you been okay so far?”

“Mutari? What is Mutari?”

Isabella smiled awkwardly as she looked at Baek Mu-gang, who was tilting his head and sucking his fingers like a child.

“It means that you had a good time without any accidents.”

“huh! “I’m doing well!”

Baek Moo-gang nods his head brightly.

“thank god.”

“lol.”

Although his back was bent like a hunchback and his face was full of age spots, he had an ugly appearance.

The innocent smile on the corner of her wrinkled mouth felt somehow beautiful.

“There’s a tent over there. “Let’s go together.”

“huh!”

Oh Jin took Baek Mu-gang and returned to the place where the tent was set up.

Baek Mu-gang’s eyes sparkled when he saw the tent.

“house! It’s home! “Does Ojin live here?”

“No, this is not a house, it’s a tent.”

“tent?”

“….”

Oh Jin continued speaking in a slightly tired voice.

“It’s like a mobile home.”

“Wow, there’s something like that.”

“How do you usually sleep?”

“me? I sleep lying down. Like this.”

Baek Moo-gang is lying down on the bare floor.

Although I vaguely expected it, it seems that Baek Moo-gang was wandering around the demonic world alone and without any proper equipment.

‘Is it such a precious treasure that I have to go to such lengths to find it?’

No matter how high-ranking Awakened people are, they are basically ‘humans’.

Sleeping on the bare floor with the starlight as a blanket may be enough for a day or two, but after just a few days, you will experience extreme mental stress.

Homelessness itself is an act that is instinctively repulsive to people who have lived in a civilized society.

Even though he has dementia, Baek Mu-gang is still human.

He was wandering around in a distant magical land, even sleeping on the bare floor.

Over several years.

To find lost ‘treasure’.

“Elder. “What treasure are you looking for?”

“huh? “A treasure is a treasure.”

Another answer:

“So, even if it looks simple and what the treasure is…”

“Treasure is precious.”

Baek Mu-gang laughed as he cut Oh Jin off.

“You must find it.”

“….”

It seemed difficult to find out what treasure he was looking for right now.

“Whoa.”

When I was sighing and wondering what to do with this unpredictable old man.

Grumble.

The sound of thunder was heard from Baekmugang’s stomach.

“Are you hungry?”

“Yes, I’m hungry. “There’s nothing to eat here.”

“Since when have you been starving?”

“It’s been ten nights since I last ate! “It’s been ten nights!”

“…Let’s eat first.”

Starving for ten days was difficult for even a high-ranking awakened person to endure.

“Mr. Oh Jin. Well… I was going to the hot springs earlier, so I didn’t get any preparations done…”

Isabella trailed off with an embarrassed expression.

“Then let’s just eat some instant food.”

“Is that okay?”

“You said you starved for ten days.”

You must be so hungry that you could even chew on a rebar.

“Let me see, then… Oh, I brought some frozen dumplings. Should I eat this?”

Haeun rummaged through her backpack and took out a large pack of frozen dumplings.

The backpack Kim Si-hoo gave me also had a thermal insulation function, so the frozen dumplings were frozen just as they were when I first put them in them.

“It’s okay.”

“Okay then, I’ll boil the water right away.”

Ha-eun slightly ripped off the opening of a frozen dumpling and dipped it into bubbling water.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, delicious steaming dumplings were created.

“dumpling? “Are these dumplings?”

“yes. “There is a lot, so let me know if you want more.”

Isabella put a dumpling on a plate and handed it to Baek Moo-gang.

“Here are chopsticks….”

“Wow! dumpling! “I like dumplings!”

Before Baek Moo-gang could receive the chopsticks, he picked up the hot dumplings with his bare hands and stuffed them into his mouth.

“lol.”

A smile full of happiness spread across the wrinkled lips.

Isabella asked in a kind voice as she took out another pack of frozen dumplings and put them in the pot.

“Did you like dumplings?”

“huh! “Grandma used to make this often!”

Baek Mu-gang, who was stuffing dumplings until his cheeks were full, nodded vigorously.

“It seems like your wife took good care of you.”

“huh. “My grandmother is a good person.”

“Then where is your wife now…?”

“He’s dead.”

Startle. Isabella’s shoulders trembled.

“A bad person killed my grandmother.”

“Ah…”

He let out a low exclamation and avoided eye contact.

“…sorry.”

“huh? what?”

Baek Mu-gang tilts his head as if he doesn’t know why he’s apologizing.

Ha-eun, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, cautiously opened her mouth.

“If that bad person… Deimos killed him?”

Not only did they steal the treasure.

Did they even kill Baek Moo-gang’s wife?

“My grandmother?”

“…huh.”

“no.”

Baek Moo-gang shook his head and had a faint smile on his lips.

“I killed him.”

“…what?”

“My grandmother.”

A smile filled with sadness, as if there were dark clouds in a clear sky that was different from before.

“I killed him.”

As if looking for a star hidden by dark clouds.

The old man’s eyes wandered lonely into the night sky.
