Absolute Regression Chapter 65

If you refuse the 65th time, you will be dragged to the new house.

I went to Magachon Sojibu for work and stopped by Pungryu Tavern.

As always, Jo Chun-bae welcomed me warmly.

“Welcome, my lord.”

“I stopped by because I was out and about.”

“I will upload a delicious meal made with your favorite ingredients.”

Jo Chun-bae, who was about to run to the kitchen, suddenly turned around and asked.

“Your Majesty, may I ask you something?”

“Ask me anything you want.”

“If you are my lord, you could go to a better tavern, but why do you always come to our tavern?”

“You still don’t get it?”

“Please tell me.”

“The alcohol is good, the food is good, the atmosphere is good, even without me asking, he knows what I like and brings it to me, and the owner is handsome. Do you need any more reasons?”

“That’s enough. I’ll make it delicious and upload it.”

His steps were light as he ran into the kitchen with a big smile.

He wouldn’t know how much I value this place. That this Magachon is the very foundation of the magic city I’m trying to build.

The current leader of the Pungcheon Church and the Palma-zons are not as important as the Cho Chun-bae and the residents here. The moment I forget this place, no matter how well I package it, it won’t be easy to find the difference between me and the Palma-zons.

It was a while later when Jo Chun-bae brought the food.

There was a commotion outside.

I went to the window and looked down. There was a person lying on the ground, and in front of him was a large man who was getting angry. It was obvious that he was very drunk.

“Why are you glaring at me, kid?”

“I didn’t look at it.”

“I glared at you.”

The big guy didn’t hesitate and struck the sword.

“Where did this kid get his lies from!”

The man who was being beaten was walking with his family. His wife stepped in and stopped him.

“Please stop it!”

“Get out of the way! Where did that woman get so unlucky!”

The man didn’t take her for granted because she was a woman. The woman was roughly pushed and fell to the ground, and a child of about six or seven years old ran towards her.

“mom!”

The child was very shocked when his father and mother were hit.

Even though he had a child, the big man did not stop. In fact, he became irritated when the child cried.

“Don’t stop, kid!”

The moment I raised my hand to try to hit the child.

puck!

The bulk flew backwards.

The man who had been lying down suddenly got up from his seat and struck the big guy once.

The wife and child ran to the man.

The woman was surprised that her husband had knocked down the big man.

“How are you?”

“I threw a punch without realizing it.”

The man who hit her also looked bewildered.

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s do that.”

The family fled the area to avoid the giant.

As they left, the big guy belatedly came to his senses and got up.

“Where did you go?

The bastard grabbed a bystander by the collar and started a violent rampage.

At that moment, voices were heard on this floor.

“Is it really worth going that far?”

At those words, the large man looked up in the direction where the noise came from.

“Who was that guy just talking?”

It was I who waved from the window on this floor.

The drunk man didn’t recognize me. There were countless people among the lower-ranking unmanned personnel who didn’t know my face.

Cho Chun-bae, who was behind me, whispered that he was the guy who usually caused all kinds of trouble in the market. Even without him saying anything, I could tell what kind of behavior he usually had. There were many people among the onlookers who recognized me, but no one warned him.

“Is it really right to hit that father in front of his child just because their eyes met?”

“Where did that green-eyed brat get his medals? And this brat, I got hit too!”

That’s what I did.

If I had stepped in and punished that kid, he would have to live his whole life remembering how his dad and mom had beaten him.

So, as if moving an object through the air, he moved the man’s body and hit him with one blow. He wanted his child to remember him as a brave father.

“You’re going to kill your family because of one hit? Is it really going to go that far?”

“Come down! You have to take my place.”

“I was going to come down anyway.”

As I jumped down, the big guy took advantage of that moment and threw a punch at me.

After slightly dodging the flying fist, I grabbed the bastard’s wrist and twisted it. Crunch! In an instant, the arm was twisted like laundry.

“Eww! It hurts! You little shit! You!”

I didn’t hesitate as I grabbed the guy who was rushing at me like a madman and broke his other arm, crushing it.

“Eww!”

The guy was screaming that he was dying of pain. If he hadn’t been drunk, he would have passed out already, but he was holding on because of the alcohol.

“Right? This shouldn’t be this bad. You don’t have to hit someone just because you made eye contact, you don’t have to kill your family just because you got hit once, and you don’t have to become a retard just because you got drunk and made a fuss, right? That’s why you’re doing this. It’s something that doesn’t have to happen.”

Instead of asking for forgiveness, the man glared at me as if he was going to kill me. He had spent his entire life beating and tormenting others, and he had not shown a single bit of wisdom until the very end. He would later regret it, saying it was because of the alcohol.

“die!”

Only after I broke the danjeon of the guy who was trying to throw himself at me did he faint.

I ordered the patrolling officers of the main school to transport the man to the Hwangcheon Pavilion. I intended to reveal all the crimes he had committed so far and have him locked up in the brain prison as the maximum punishment.

Despite his miserable appearance, those who knew him had a refreshing expression on their faces.

I said to the onlookers.

“There is no law in our school that says that a person can commit evil deeds just because they are a Mine. If such a person appears among our school’s unofficials in the future… … .”

I pointed to the Hwangcheon-gak branch across from the tavern.

“Report it there!”

Starting with Jo Chun-bae’s applause, everyone cheered and applauded. Without exaggerating, my popularity in Magachon surpassed that of my father.

Jo Chun-bae came and spoke with a happy face.

“I’ll buy you dinner today.”

Then someone spoke from behind.

“Can I get some too?”

When I looked back, surprisingly, the leader of the Pungcheon sect was standing there.

I said while looking at Jo Chun-bae.

“If you refuse, you will be dragged to the outside world. Because you are the head of the Pungcheon Church.”

Jo Chun-bae opened his eyes wide, as if he were about to faint. He had recently received many high-profile guests because of me, and now even the leader of the Pungcheon sect had appeared as a guest.

On this floor, I always sat in the same seat facing the leader of the Pungcheon sect.

“Are you serious about what you said earlier? Just because you’re a mine, you shouldn’t take evil for granted.”

“yes.”

“That doesn’t sound like something that should come out of the mouth of the leader of the Cheonmasingyo sect.”

“I don’t like being stuck in a mold. That’s how young people are these days.”

“I guess I’m old-fashioned after all.”

“Keep young people around you. With an open mind. Thanks to you, Hyeolcheon Doma has become younger these days.”

“Is that so? Hahaha.”

I said this while filling the glass of the laughing Poongcheon Church Master’s drink.

“But it looks like the rumors were wrong.”

“What rumor?”

“I heard that the cult leader never steps out of the water, but I often see him outside.”

It was the same the last time I visited, and it is the same now. The leader of the Pungcheon sect was breaking his own principles.

“Perhaps it’s because you trust the leader of Cheonmasingyo more than the leader of Pungcheongyo?”

It meant that it was because he trusted his father. He said it as a joke, but it must have been sincere. At least, he trusted his father that he would not allow his sacred object to be stolen within the Cheonmasin Church.

I smiled and picked up my chopsticks.

“Here, eat.”

I expected that the food here would not suit the taste of the Pungcheon cult leader who only eats high-class food, but he cleaned his plate clean. I thought that he might be a person who does not care about formality as much as I thought.

“It tastes good.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

After the meal, we drank tea instead of alcohol. The leader of the Fengchun sect not only dislikes alcohol, but also said that he always drinks tea right after a meal.

“Have you tried the space-time transfer technique?”

“yes.”

“Everyone fails at first, so don’t worry too much about it.”

He assumed that I had failed to create space. He said that even the first attempt would take several days, so he assumed that my presence here now must mean that I had failed.

“It was a success.”

“what?”

“The space is amazing. I think I’ll be completely absorbed in this martial art from now on.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church was shocked.

“Are you saying it’s already been spread out?”

“yes.”

“How long did it take to unfold?”

“It took about two hours.”

The leader of the Pungcheon sect was startled. He was so surprised that he let out a short gasp.

“Really?”

He had an expression on his face that said he could never believe it.

“It seems like a martial art that suits my aptitude well.”

“Honestly, I can’t believe it.”

“Why would I lie?”

“If you’re not a martial arts genius, then… … No, even if you’re a martial arts genius, two Shijin is impossible!”

I no longer insisted on two o’clock and sipped my tea.

“Really?”

I nodded.

“Can you show me later?”

It was not polite to be so obsessed with someone and not trust them. However, I could understand his doubts, so I nodded willingly.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Thank you.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church drank the cold tea in one gulp, as if his stomach was burning.

I waited for him to calm down for a moment and then asked him calmly.

“But why did you come to see me today?”

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Please speak.”

“Mabul is trying to send me back to the new world.”

“Why?”

“It’s because of you.”

“It’s because of me?”

“I am wary that you and I will join hands. So give me a reason to stay.”

I thought that it wasn’t just because of that that he came to me. How did he know that I could make up a reason or not? This was an excuse to get close to me. There is a way to check if it is true.

“What will you give me in return?”

“There’s something vulgar between us.”

“There is still no ‘relationship’ between the cult leader and me. There was only one transaction.”

I didn’t give him any room to make a deal. I had to show him a thorough appearance in order to make a deal with him favorable. That’s why I told him that I had performed the space-time transfer technique in just two hours. To give him infinite trust that he could trust me.

“What do you want?”

“May I choose one of the new items you brought?”

In that moment, the expression on the face of the leader of the Pungcheon Church hardened.

“Are you crazy?”

I answered calmly, as if asking a question.

“In this chaotic situation where Amazon is dead, I don’t think anyone would try to advance into the Central Plains as much as the cult leader.”

* * *

He entered his residence together with the leader of the Pungcheon sect.

He accepted my offer. As I expected, he wanted to shake hands with me. He even gave me his precious sacred water. This was not a favor, but a gift.

Why on earth would he go to such lengths to hold my hand? Clearly, he must have had some kind of change of heart.

In the room, a man in chains sat with his back turned towards the thunder bell.

When I was taking the blood essence out, I briefly thought about how I couldn’t take him out. I thought we wouldn’t meet again in this life, but we ended up meeting again like this.

“Who is that person?”

When I asked the leader of the Pungcheon cult, pretending not to know, I saw the way the leader of the Pungcheon cult was looking at him. It wasn’t the way he was looking at a subordinate or a slave.

The man also didn’t say anything to the leader of the Pungcheon sect when he came in. Usually, he would turn around and say hello.

I was convinced that this was not a normal master-servant relationship.

“He is the one who protects the bell of thunder.”

“okay.”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church looked around at the new creatures and spoke softly.

“Among the divine beings, you must not request the thunder bell and blood fire.”

“Yes, I understand. That paper is the famous lightning bell of the Pungcheon Church.”

I walked towards the thunder bell as if I was seeing it for the first time.

The moment I brought this thunderbolt back to my life before my regression flashed before my eyes. It seemed as if the evil spirit carved into the bell was looking at me, saying, ‘It’s you again?’

“What is it like when you see it in person?”

“It’s awesome.”

Then I glanced down at the chained man. In fact, I was more interested in this man than the yin yang clan. I had come over here under the pretense of wanting to see him up close.

At that moment, the man who had been bowing his head slightly raised his head and looked at me. I met his eyes through his flowing hair. He was much younger than I had thought, and his eyes were clear.

The man lowered his head again. It was a brief encounter, but somehow it was a look in his eyes that was hard to forget.

“Now, take your pick.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I slowly looked at the display case of the new items. Of course, I knew very well what kind of new items were here.

I chose one of the new ones.

“Please give me this.”

In that moment, the expression on the face of the leader of the Pungcheon Church hardened.

Then I saw.

The very moment when the leader of the Pungcheon Church was about to say that it couldn’t be done without realizing it, the leader of the Pungcheon Church flinched and closed his mouth.

I could feel it instinctively. It was as important a fact as the one I had chosen.

‘A man in chains sent a message to the leader of the Pungcheon sect!’
