Absolute Regression Chapter 220

Episode 220 You should be like you.

What came up from the floor was a podium.

There was a flat box with a green cloth on top of it.

Seo Dae-ryong and I both exclaimed in admiration at the dazzling thing placed on the box.

It was a night liquor. But it was different from the night liquors I had seen so far. It was bigger than the best night liquors, and it shone more brilliantly.

“It’s the ultimate pearl!”

This was the best night liquor, called the king of night liquor.

When he saw that which had only existed in rumors, Seo Dae-ryong opened his eyes wide in admiration.

“This really existed!”

At that moment, a groan came from the floor. Ji-saeng’s eyes were bloodshot. He was on the verge of going crazy from the shock. All the other night magics combined could not buy this one. It’s not because it shines so brightly. It’s because there is only one of them.

I calmly watched Ji-saeng suffer.

The pain is not enough. He is paying the price, but the people he hurt were struck by lightning from the comfort of their own lives. If he has made hundreds or thousands of lives miserable, he deserves to suffer this much.

It would have been better for him to just die, but he was struck by a halo effect. He had to endure the last pain of his life with a clear mind.

I carefully held the exquisite night pearl in my hand.

“Your Majesty, you are probably holding the most expensive object in the world right now. Let me touch it just once. Oh, no. I might drop it. Let me just look at it with my eyes.”

Just then, I stared into the ecstatic light and tightened my grip.

Crunch.

There was a crack in the very best night pearl.

It was enough to raise the dying Ji-saeng up. Ji-saeng’s eyes widened as if they were going to burst, and Seo Dae-ryong let out the scream instead.

“Eww!”

Even if I was stabbed with a knife, I wouldn’t have screamed like that.

“You don’t have to touch it! Why are you doing this!”

Let’s give it a little more push.

Kkuaddukduk.

The exquisite night pearl began to crumble in my hands.

“Eww.”

Seo Dae-ryong screamed again. If Seo Dae-ryong is like this, what must Ji-saeng be like? Tears were streaming down Ji-saeng’s eyes.

Seo Dae-ryong said in a trembling voice.

“No matter how much you want to cause pain to the author, why would you break the Extreme Night Pearl?”

Seo Dae-ryong’s voice trembled. But his expression said, “This isn’t it.”

“Take off your clothes!”

“If you do this, you’ll really look crazy!”

While saying that, Seo Dae-ryong quickly took off his shirt.

“Spread out in front!”

Thud thud thud.

A piece of broken night pearl fell onto Seo Dae-ryong’s clothes.

I found something among the pieces.

‘Here it is!’

I picked up what was lying between the pieces.

It was a single elixir, as black and transparent as a black pearl.

Mandokjigeuksindan (Elixir of the Ultimate Poison).

The best elixir among all poisons, created by mixing all kinds of poisons, was Mandokji Geuksin Dan.

“This Extreme Night Pearl is fake. It was created to hide this Mandokji Extreme Shindan.”

Before returning, I heard that the Mandokji Geukshindan was discovered in the Geukpum Yamyeongju. It was discovered by chance during a battle for the Geukpum Yamyeongju among the Sapa warriors.

I knew who had the real Geukpum Yamyeongju, but I didn’t know that this fake Geukpum Yamyeongju was being kept in Ji-saeng’s hands.

“It’s the safest thing in the world to hide. No one will have the courage to break it.”

Seo Dae-ryong and Ji-saeng seemed very surprised. It must have been something they had never imagined.

“How did you know?”

He answered the surprised Seo Dae-ryong’s question as he always did.

“What is there that I don’t know?”

As always, Seo Dae-ryong shook his head and did not ask any more questions.

“If it were any other elixir, I would share it with you, but this is something that no one else can take. Only Mandokbulchim can take it.”

The only person who knows that I am invincible is Seo Dae-ryong.

“Even if it’s something I can take, you should take it yourself.”

Seo Dae-ryong’s gaze turned to the fake Ji-saeng who had become a corpse.

“If I were to be threatened like the author, I would immediately run to the master and tell him everything. I would ask him to spare my life. I would ask him to take responsibility. If you want to spare my life then, you have to become strong.”

Even if it was a normal elixir, Seo Dae-ryong would have yielded to me with such words. You’re the kind of person who would give me ten back if I gave you one? What about you?

“I wouldn’t have gotten this elixir without you. Thank you, Inspector Seo.”

If I hadn’t noticed that Ji-saeng was looking at the wall with regretful eyes, I would have stayed buried underground here forever.

“Let’s name that elixir ‘Right Arm’s Eyesight.’”

“I’ll add the phrase ‘good eye for detail’ to describe you.”

“My introduction is so long that I can’t even remember it anymore.”

Seo Dae-ryong smiled pleasantly. How could someone not like having so many meanings attached to him? It is difficult to even get a single meaning in our lives.

“I will give you the prescription, so please take it quickly, Your Majesty.”

I sat cross-legged there.

Seeing that sight, Ji-saeng groaned again. He was truly in pain. He was suffering more than if his flesh had been burned with hot iron, but Heaven did not let him go easily.

I swallowed the Mandokji Geukshindan in one gulp.

He became incurable and believed that it was fate that he had obtained this powerful teaching here.

A hotter and more intense energy than any elixir I had ever taken went down my throat. The energy of the medicine was so toxic that I felt like all my internal organs were going to burn.

I started to melt the energy of the Mandokjigeuksindan by controlling my body with the Unkijoshik. The energy started to flow through my blood vessels and spread to every little blood vessel in my body. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Vein Strengthening Technique and the Mandokbolchimjiche that I had reached the final stage of, it would have been an energy I could never have handled.

By melting all the energy of the Mandokji Geukshindan and sending the true energy around the heavens, an extremely majestic and pure internal energy was added to the dantian.

The feeling of fullness in my danjeon was different from when I took the elixir before. It wasn’t just, ‘Oh, I have a lot of internal energy,’ but it felt like I had gone up a step and reached the next level of internal energy.

It was as if my inner energy was saying, I am now ready to face the new world.

“Thank you, my lord.”

“I say again, it’s thanks to you. Thank you, Right Arm.”

I felt really good. I have to get stronger. I have to get stronger to protect everyone.

I closed my eyes, which had become clearer and deeper, and carefully folded the green cloth in the box that had wrapped the exquisite pearl and kept it in my bosom. As it turned out later, this too was a very important item.

At that moment, Ji-saeng, who was thought to be dead, opened his eyes wide. He was still alive and begged with longing eyes.

Just ask me to relieve the bleeding just once.

He had so many questions and so many things he wanted to say. But I was resolute.

“Have you ever granted a single request from someone who begged you?”

As his regret and resentment reached their peak, the life in Ji-saeng’s eyes disappeared. Finally, his lips moved.

‘It’s all mine.’

With those words he died.

He realized the futility of greed and could have organized the last moments of his life, but he did not give up his greed until the very end. He carried all the night liquor on his back and chewed and swallowed Mandokjigeuksindan as he boarded the ferry to the afterlife.

That’s why. The political party can never handle this terrible desire and the malice contained within it. Someone will be fooled by those desperate eyes and give it another chance. Even though it’s pleading like that, because it’s facing death, it’s still human.

Evil does not grow on its own. It grows by preying on the goodwill of others. Absolute evil is when, even as it dies, it sows the seeds of evil in the hearts of those who have shown it goodwill.

Anyway, with this, all the evildoers related to Shinsunchae met their deaths.

“I don’t think I can be like you, my lord. I wonder if I can punish the wicked so sternly.”

“You shouldn’t do it like me.”

“What are you talking about?”

I said, looking straight into his eyes.

“You should do like you.”

A faint smile appeared on Seo Dae-ryong’s lips.

“Yes, I will do it like me.”

Seo Dae-ryong took the bag containing the night liquor, and I carried the fake Ji-saeng’s corpse under my arm.

He said this while looking down at the real Ji-saeng’s corpse.

“Your death is just the beginning.”

Everything is gone.

The lives of the wicked, their greed, their shallow faith, their betrayal, their foolishness, the fortune they had amassed throughout their lives, and even Seo Dae-ryong and I. Everything that was entangled with them was gone.

“Since the scientist is so excellent, we don’t need him.”

At the Poison King’s words, the evil Soma glanced back.

At first, it was difficult for the two of them to even say a word, but once they started talking, they started talking often.

“Isn’t that right?”

Geommugeuk said he would finish the show himself and took only Seo Dae-ryong with him.

“Did you want to follow me?”

“It wasn’t necessarily like that though.”

In fact, the Poison King wanted to follow along. He wanted to go and see how things were handled, but he felt disappointed when the two of them went alone.

“There will be many things we will have to do in the future. Especially since Yalulhan is someone that Lee Gongja will have a hard time dealing with alone.”

Worry flashed across the evil Soma’s eyes. The Poison King also nodded in agreement. Even if he doesn’t go outside, he sees and hears things as a Demon Lord.

“Yalyuhan is said to be the most dangerous poison among all poisons.”

The worries of the evil soma did not stop at Yalyulhan.

“I heard that there are absolute masters who protect Yalulhan apart from the four members of the group. Yalulhan is strong, but these masters are also not to be ignored. At that time, we may have to risk our lives.”

The opponent was the second-in-command of the Apostolic Alliance. There must be a hidden sword, but it is not known how sharp it is or how many there are.

The Poison King asked the Evil Soma.

“Can you really risk your life for a scholar?”

The evil Soma paused for a moment before answering.

“I enjoy fighting alongside scientists.”

The Poison King heard that those words meant that he would risk his life for the Duke.

The Poison King was jealous. He had no one. No one who could risk his life, no one who would risk his life for him.

So, I said this for no reason.

“I came out because I received orders from the leader… … .”

The evil soma stared at the Poison King silently. His eyes asked, “Is that really so?”

The Poison King was about to say that it was true, but then he thought about it for a moment. Maybe it was because of the condolence of the Duke, the efforts of the Duke, and the joy of meeting the Duke.

I thought that maybe there were other reasons that had an effect, so I ended up not answering.

“It’s hot today.”

The Poison King opened up his poor fan and started swinging it around.

Geommugeuk and Seodaeryong returned to their residence.

“The work was completed well.”

The Swordmaster told the Mazones exactly what had happened there and what he had gained. It was information that he didn’t necessarily have to tell, but he told them everything honestly, without leaving anything out.

There is only one thing I left out, the ones about the Geukpum Yamyeongju and the Mandokji Geukshindan. It is a problem to explain how I knew that it was in the Geukpum Yamyeongju, and it was not yet time to reveal the Mandok Bulchim.

“I’ll be leaving early tomorrow morning.”

The Poison King asked me what I said.

“Who’s next target?”

“This is the car with the black snake tattoo. It is also the head of the Jindok Geosa that the Poison King really wants to see.”

“I’m finally going to meet that third-rate poisoner.”

He was able to do so because he was the Poison King. Jin Dok Geosa was not someone to be ridiculed. He was a poison master representing the Sapa.

Aecha was working with the monk Jin Dok and selling medicines such as Gwangbok and Heukbi.

“Have you ever met the Venerable Jindok?”

“does not exist.”

The Poison King shook his head at my question.

“That’s fortunate. It would be difficult to approach you secretly if I knew your face. This time, I really need your help.”

The Poison King nodded. He was determined to help actively this time. He really didn’t like the fact that Jin Dok-geosa was making drugs that caused side effects and selling them on the market. Apart from other things, this was a matter of Dok’s pride.

“According to the military intelligence, the deepest part of Aecha’s residence is where the Jindok Geosa is producing Gwangbok and Black Bee. Naturally, the security there is so tight that it is impossible to infiltrate.”

At that time, Seo Dae-ryong asked cautiously.

“But even though it’s crazy, can I get rid of my beloved car? Ji-saeng died, so if my beloved car dies after that, Yul-han will be suspicious.”

“I have to give them a death that they can’t doubt. So that they think it was just a coincidence.”

“How?”

Everyone’s eyes were on me. I was thinking of a way. I didn’t know if it would work or not.

“It started out wildly, so let’s end it out wildly.”
