Absolute Regression Chapter 646

Episode 646: Don’t Listen, Just Kill!

So Jeong-rak was shocked.
He had never imagined that he would be accused of being a liar here today.
But that wasn’t what was important right now.

‘The poison doesn’t work?’

So Jeong-rak was flustered. If it were any other situation, he would never have panicked in this situation. How could he not know that if he panicked, he would be more suspicious?

But the fact that the poison didn’t work shocked him greatly.

At So Jeong-rak’s flustered appearance, Ma-yeom-gun and Baekgol-hon-ma exchanged glances. The way So Jeong-rak looked now seemed like a reaction when he was hiding something.

So Jeong-rak tried to calm his surprised mind and took another dose of poison.

This time, it was mad poison.
This poison was not a poison that directly harmed the body.
It was a poison that caused anger and madness by making it impossible to control emotions. It was
a poison that only the highest level poison masters could handle, and it was a poison with completely different properties from the white poison that had been used before.

‘Get angry! Unleash your pent-up anger on them!’

That was the end of it. Those two proud Normas would never let it go.

It was okay to vent my anger on myself. As always, the one who got excited first lost.

I expected Geommugeuk to scream and explode in anger, but
Geommugeuk just laughed even louder and spoke to the two Normas.

“I can’t tell you how fortunate I am that you two are so prudent and wise.”

Are you laughing? Are you laughing? So Jeong-rak was even more surprised by Geommu-geuk’s reaction.

‘The poison didn’t work again!’

The sword dance was fine. He even pushed himself again with a mean look on his face.

“Look at him not saying anything. I can tell he’s definitely trying to get you both to agree to a deal. If I were you two, I would’ve gotten so excited that I would’ve sworn at you both and beat that guy up.”

So Jeong-rak forced himself to suppress his screams. He was so angry that he wondered if the poison he had ingested had really poisoned him.
But it wasn’t. If the poison had poisoned him, he would have screamed.

‘Why on earth isn’t the poison working?’

At that time, one person crossed So Jeong-rak’s mind.

‘No way? Did the Poison King give me a cure-all to take beforehand?’

You could take antidotes in advance to prepare for specific poisons. Of course, you had to know exactly what kind of poison your opponent would use.

Did the Poison King really expect that he would poison Baek Sa-bun and Gwang-bun-dok?

Even if we make a hundred concessions and the Poison King predicts his own poison and gives him a cure in advance, he cannot successfully block two poisons with completely different properties. Furthermore, he must take them in the exact same order.

Oh, come to think of it, there weren’t two poisons. Wasn’t there a poison that was used first? The moment I used my internal energy, my blood swelled and burst, so even the poison didn’t work.

‘The Poison King is that powerful?’

So Jeong-rak was troubled. Should he kill him by poisoning his own spleen? Or should he kill him by the hands of these two people as originally planned?

‘You have to kill when you have the chance!’

If the Sword Dancer tries to kill him, he will die helplessly. Since his life is at stake, he should kill him first and then think about what to do next.

In the end, So Jeong-rak poisoned the poison he had. Since the ingredients for the poison were so precious, it was a poison that was not used unless it was a truly dire situation.

True poison without life.

It was a poison that he had personally created, a deadly poison that could instantly kill the opponent. Since the person died immediately after being poisoned, there was no cure.

‘This can’t be stopped.’

I should have rolled my eyes and collapsed.
This time, Geommu-geuk was fine. He even tried to stir up trouble again.

“Be honest with me. You never intended to use the great method of breaking the taboo in the first place, did you?”

So Jeong-rak opened his eyes wide. He was shocked by the fact that his own poison had not been absorbed.
However, it seemed as if Geommu-geuk’s words had hit the nail on the head.

He had to say something to dispel suspicion, but So Jeong-rak couldn’t get over the shock that the Mu-Saeng-Jin-Dok didn’t work.

‘No matter how great a poison king he is, he cannot make a cure for the poison of the living. If there were such a cure, it would make a person invulnerable to poison. There is no way such a cure could exist.’

At that very moment, So Jeong-rak flinched and his eyes grew wider.

‘no way?’

So Jeong-rak’s body trembled. Right?

‘Yeah, that can’t be true.’

So Jeong-rak looked at Geommu-geuk with trembling eyes.
Even though he had been poisoned repeatedly, he was indifferent. He should have felt at least some discomfort or dizziness, but instead, he was laughing at himself.

The four letters that came to mind when So Jeong-rak saw that relaxed appearance.
The four letters that those who have mastered the art of self-discipline hate to see even in their dreams.

Manjukbolbunsim!

Meanwhile, the discord in the Geommu Theater continued.

“Look at that anxious expression. Do you really think I’m not fooling you two?”

The demon king and the white bone demon stared at So Jeong-rak in silence. He had certainly been showing suspicious reactions ever since it was revealed that his statement about having no internal energy was a lie.

So Jeong-rak, who had been looking at the sword dance with a face full of distrust, finally came to a conclusion.

“The little sect leader is invincible!”

In the heavy silence that flowed for a moment, Geommugeuk responded calmly.

“Is that the only excuse you could come up with?”

At that moment, the demon king shouted nervously.

“Both of you stop!”

The sound of the Magim Army’s scraping voice became even more unpleasant as it became filled with emotion.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

It was a disaster for both of them.
So Jeong-rak calmly explained the situation.

“I just injected poison into the cult leader repeatedly. But none of it worked. That’s why I couldn’t properly respond to the cult leader’s attempts to sow discord.”

Then this time, Geommugeuk asked the two Normas.

“Have you ever seen a Mandokbulchim in your life?”

The demon king had never seen Mandok Bulchim before.
Baekgol Honma was one hundred and fifty years old, so it was only natural that he had seen it once.
Baekgol Honma was the same. He had never heard anyone say that he was Mandok Bulchim.

The sword dance made fun of So Jeong-rak.

“Then you will see it today. Here, there is a Mandokbulchim, so look at it as much as you want. Let’s call the painter and draw a picture of us together.”

The two Normas looked at So Jeong-rak with suspicious eyes, without watching the sword dance. The meaning behind those eyes was this.

What kind of nonsensical nonsense is this?

So Jeong-rak felt his chest tighten.

‘Damn it! How can those old ghosts, who have already been beaten several times, have any sound judgment?’

But that doesn’t mean they should be left alone. Especially not in a situation where the poison doesn’t work on the swordsman.

“Didn’t I tell you? The young sect leader is no ordinary person. Why else would he have summoned you two and asked you to deal with him while suppressing his internal energy?”

The two Normas were half in doubt.
They had originally come to kill Geommugeuk. The fact that they were half in doubt meant that Geommugeuk’s scheme to create discord was working.

“Then I guess we can check it out.”

The sword dance made an unexpected suggestion.

“You should check the Dafa location and the person who will help Dafa. After checking whether that person really has the heart to spread Dafa to you two, you should kill me.”

Then, the demon king asked Geommugeuk with a suspicious look in his eyes.

“Why would you do that to me? We’re the ones who want to kill you.”

Baekgolhonma also had similar doubts about Geommugeuk.

“The reason is simple. It’s because the author is so annoying. He made fun of our school and plotted to make the two seniors and me into two-faced. Even though we were active in different eras, aren’t we all the same minds?”

So Jeong-rak’s impression hardened. We? He could tell that Geommu-geuk had intentionally used that expression.
Geommu-geuk continued to speak.

“Isn’t there a temperament unique to our people? If we die fighting, we die, but we hate being used by others and dying! And it’s even worse when it comes to those little rats who hide and plot!”

Then, Geommu-geuk looked at So Jeong-rak.
At least, since he completely agreed with those words, the two Normas glanced at So Jeong-rak.

So Jeong-rak could tell that every time Geommu-geuk spoke, the old men’s faith in the little cult leader grew.

‘You can’t fight with words. You have to do something.’

The swordplay continued to drive him.

“What’s so hard about asking to see the Great Law site in advance?”

At that time, So Jeong-rak spoke to the Normas.

“Kill the young cult leader. Then I will take you there immediately. I will also call those who will spread the Great Law together with me.”

So Jeong-rak looked at Geommu-geuk.

‘No matter how much you try, you won’t be able to move them.’

The bloody aura flowing out of the body of the demon king and the death aura flowing out of the eyes of the white bone demon became even more intense.
No matter what, the two people were people who were full of hatred for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Although So Jeong-rak was acting suspiciously, his determination to kill Geom Mu-geuk had not changed.

At that time, Geommugeuk calmly raised a question.

“Isn’t it strange?”

So Jeong-rak shouted, wondering what kind of trick he would do next.

“Don’t listen and kill!”

But the words that Geommugeuk brought out were words that one could not help but hear.

“What’s strange?”

Geommugeuk raised a question in response to Magimun’s question.

“If what the author said is true, then he summoned you two while suppressing my internal energy. Why did he make them kill me when he could have just killed me?”

As So Jeong-rak was about to say something, Baekgol Honma raised his hand to stop him.
With eyes telling him to continue talking, Geommu-geuk answered the question he had asked himself.

“I want to make it known to the world that there were two people who killed me. If that happens, you two will be hunted by the masters of our school for the rest of your lives. My father will never let that happen.”

After a while, Baekgolhonma, who had been listening, opened his mouth in a childish voice.

“Do you think we weren’t prepared for that?”

Of course, I was prepared to be chased.
What Geommugeuk was trying to say was from now on.

“But you won’t be chased. The ban won’t be lifted.”

The dark energy flowing out of Baekgolhonma’s eyes began to take over the surroundings, but Geommugeuk’s words continued to flow out.

“You must know that their goal is to have the school and the Murim Alliance fight to the death and then plan a two-sided battle. But now that it has been revealed that you two killed me, how can you say that my father is going to fight?”

Geommugeuk shook his head firmly.

“You will postpone the war in order to seek revenge. You are the kind of person who would start a war for the sake of your son, so there is no way you wouldn’t seek revenge. Is that really what they want?”

The eyes of Baekgolhonma and Magimun wavered slightly. I could feel them wavering.

“Do you think you two will be caught easily?”

I had no intention of letting him get caught easily. He said he would kill the leader, but he didn’t do all this to die like that.

The sword dance pushed them even harder.

“Do they want the war to be postponed? Or do they want the two people who killed me and the Demon Lord to die without being able to lift the ban? And save the enormous cost of the Great Law.”

It was such a plausible story that the hearts of Magimun and Baekgolhonma wavered.
Baekgolhonma spoke to Sojeongrak as if giving orders.

“I will guide you to the Great Law location.”

The gaze of the White Bone Demon directed at him was firm. So Jeong-rak could not refuse those words. Even he nodded his head at Geommu-geuk’s words, so how could those two old men not fall for it?
He knew full well that Geommu-geuk was not ordinary, but when he actually experienced it himself, he was unable to come to his senses.

If I had foolishly disobeyed, the situation would only get more difficult.
However, I had to subdue the internal energy of the Sword Dance Theater even if I had to go.
If I had said that, it would have been counterproductive and offended those proud old men, so I said it indirectly.

“The leader of the cult may launch a surprise attack.”

Then the demon king answered confidently.

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of it.”

The demon king said to Geommugeuk.

“You two go in front together. We’ll follow.”

He couldn’t refuse anymore.
He really hated this kind of variable, but he couldn’t help it.

“Okay, let’s go.”

In the end, So Jeong-rak took the lead.

‘That doesn’t mean today’s ending will change.’

The sword dance followed right behind, and the two Normas followed.
The patients, their guardians, and the doctors were still asleep. The sword dance did not pay any attention to them, as if it was not of interest to them.

So Jeong-rak left the hospital with the three people.
The people he met in the hospital bowed their heads to So Jeong-rak politely. He was usually the one who greeted people well, but he didn’t have the time to do so now.

The place that So Jeong-rak guided me to was his own residence.
He successively manipulated the secret devices hidden in the desk, bookshelf, and display case, and a secret door leading down to the basement opened.
He went all the way down the stairs and there was a wide space there. There were night lights embedded everywhere, so he could see his surroundings well, and there was no stuffiness because there were air holes.

This is where So Jeong-rak secretly practiced his poison technique. The walls on all sides were filled with all kinds of poisons and poisons. His decades-long secrets were all there.

“We will conduct the Great Law here.”

As soon as they arrived here, the frozen expressions of the demon king and the white bone demon relaxed.

Did he not expect this situation? So Jeong-rak was secretly curious about the inside story of the Geommu Theater.

Why on earth did you want to come here? Just to kill time? To kill time while waiting for someone to come save you?

‘Then you made a mistake in your judgment.’

Because this place was completely enclosed by walls on all sides underground, it was impossible to escape. Furthermore, since the secret entrance was closed, there was no way to come here and find it.

So Jeong-rak looked at the sword dance. He was looking around here and there as if he was looking at a house.

“You seem to be very meticulous, but you’re not very good at cleaning up the poisonous plants. Should I clean up for you? I’ve been trained to clean up the poisonous plants.”

The moment he saw his relaxed appearance, So Jeong-rak’s heart grew cold and he realized one thing.

‘Come to think of it, we too have nowhere to run.’
