Absolute Regression Chapter 700

Episode 700 You Came to Save Me

I thought it would be extremely cruel and evil because it was the way of the evil Soma, but today was the opposite.
The evil Soma asked the sword master this.

“Do you want me to subdue them and bring them back alive?”

It was a surprising statement to everyone. It seemed like it would be difficult to find the killer, but instead of finding and eliminating him, he subdued him alive?

Since it is already impossible, are you trying to push the difficulty to the limit?

It was to the point where I thought that.

Geommugeuk said with a smile.

“How did you know what I wanted?”
“I had a feeling you would.”

Since the relationship between Chai Ran and the Akgunhak School has not been confirmed yet, it would be a choice to handle the matter without killing her subordinates if possible to avoid any regrets.

So I was going to ask him separately, but the evil Soma read my mind and spoke first. As expected, Soma-sama is Soma-sama.

“Please do so.”
“I will obey your command.”

As expected, there was no hesitation.
The person who represented the mind of this extremely evil soma was Ian.

“Putting your men in danger! That’s too much!”

It was a remark made to lighten the mood. I knew that Geommugeuk would take it as a joke.

“If you feel wronged, become a cult leader.”

Although he said that, the emotion in the eyes of the swordsman who was looking at the evil soma was not shamelessness, but trust.
The belief that he could do this much. The firm belief that he and his men would not be put in danger because of this order.

He never forgot to throw jokes at the innocent passers-by.

“Don’t kill them even if you provoke their temper. They are women, so don’t hit their faces.”

A smile appeared in the eyes of the innocent visitors.

The Visain who was watching was inwardly impressed.
After all, the order had already been given.
In that case, rather than telling them to be careful, such words would boost the morale of the innocent people. They would also be words that would take care of their pride.

Ian said to the evil Soma.

“If you ever need my help, I’ll be there to help you.”

Since the evil Soma had refused, he couldn’t bring it up again, but he said he could tell me about the assassins he had found in the waiting room.
No matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t seem like there was any other way to find them. In addition, there was an additional order to capture them alive.

Are you really okay, Soma?

The evil Soma felt her concern for him.

“Do you know why I turned down your offer?”

Honestly, I never imagined the reason would be like this.

“We already know who the killers are.”
“!”
“We’ve found sixteen of them so far.”

They said they had found a definite number of assassins. Sixteen of them.

Ian looked at Geommu-geuk in surprise.
Did the little cult leader know? Geommu-geuk shook his head at her gaze. It was a fact that Geommu-geuk did not know yet.

“Can I ask how you found it?”

In response to Ian’s question, Cheonhwaruju stepped forward and explained.

“Amazon first investigated the other two judges, excluding me.”

Since coming to the Shinwhabang, the evil Soma didn’t just spend time in the guest room.
He started by investigating those who were to sit next to Cheonhwaruju, and those who came as judges.

“As expected, both of them were people with close ties to the Ark of Mythology. They were people who owed me great debts and were in a position where they could not refuse the Ark of Mythology’s request.”

One thing I don’t know is.

“I still don’t know why they called me as a judge.”

She looked back and forth between the evil soma and the sword dance.

“I can only vaguely guess that it is because of Soma-nim or Sogyo-ju-nim.”

Then Geommugeuk said calmly.

“It could be because of you, Lady Rouge.”

Although he didn’t explain the reason specifically, Cheonhwaruju could tell what Geommugeuk meant by that.

It means that she may have been called that because she is a descendant of the Shinnyeo Palace.

Cheonhwaruju continued her explanation.
Although she didn’t know why she had been called, the reason she had called the other two was clear.

“I’ve been watching them carefully since the preliminaries. There were times when they gave higher scores to women who were clearly more beautiful. Of course, people’s eyes may be different, but coincidentally, their choices were the same every time.”

She was watching not only the judging on stage, but also the judging from the judges’ table.

“They found the women they deliberately chose, but the problem is the women they missed.”

There must have been some who made it to the finals with truly pure beauty, like Chai Ran.

Then a question naturally arises.

“Then why did you send so many people to the competition? If they were going to choose, only seven would have been enough.”

In fact, there wasn’t even a need for a final stage.

“No, I guess I can just pick one.”

Because only the best in the world will attend the celebration party with the Apostolic Leader.

“I was wondering that too. But after seeing this, I understand.”

Cheonhwaruju held out a folded piece of paper.

“This is the seating chart for the day of the finals.”

There was a special seat at the back of the stage for the women who had advanced to the main competition. The final stage was held while they watched from behind.

“They were planning to do something on that stage that day. Their plans changed when the cult leader intervened.”

Ian’s gaze deepened.

The prophecy that Cheonhwaruju saw also happened on stage. It was clear that they were planning to plot something on stage.

And that conspiracy was also related to him. He was the one who would stand on the final stage.
What if Chai-ran and the assassins attacked him at the same time? It would not be easy to stop Chai-ran alone, but what if the assassins also helped?

Eventually, Geommu-geuk will jump onto the stage to save himself.

A murderous act that could never be prepared for outside could occur on that stage. Because the elite assassins of Chai Ran and Gain Cult were all on stage at that moment.

The one who broke the heavy silence was the evil Soma.

“They’ll have to change their plans again.”

He will definitely carry out the mission given by Geommugeuk.

“Because there will only be one person on stage that day.”

* * *

General Cho walked briskly.

He, who was in charge of this competition, had been busy day and night. From the preparation for the finals in two days to the celebration banquet to welcome the Apostolic Lord, there were still many events left that could cause serious trouble if they made a mistake.

When he entered his office, General Cho was startled. For a moment, he thought he had entered the wrong room.

Someone was sitting at his desk in his office, looking over some papers.

“Who are you?”

The man sitting in his seat raised his head at the surprised General Cho’s question. He gestured for him to come in.
General Cho recognized him at a glance.

‘Who is this guy?’

He was a warrior who was in charge of guarding Cheonhwaruju. The cotton robe with only a single flower on it was unique, and even though he was wearing the cotton robe, he was so handsome that it was hard to forget him.

Anyway, he shouldn’t be here.
The moment General Cho turned around to run away!

He bumped into someone. Before he knew it, someone was standing in front of the door.

I naturally thought that Shinwhabang was unmanned because he was holding my hand to prevent me from falling.
But I was wrong. When I looked up, I saw a cotton thread with a flower drawn on it.

The indifferent gaze looking at him from above the cotton swab.
It was a cold gaze that was so different from the action of holding his hand so that he wouldn’t fall, and it was even more frightening.

When General Cho turned around again, the evil Soma was looking at him.
The moment their eyes met, General Cho could feel it.

‘different.’

It was different from the gaze I had seen from the escort before, and it was different from the countless gazes I had seen until now.
He had met all kinds of people, including many Sapha people, while living as the general manager of Shinwhabang for a long time.
But this kind of coldness that pierced his heart was a first. It was completely different from the familiar fear that was rough and violent.

“Come here, I have something to say.”

At the calm but irresistible order, General Cho staggered towards the evil Soma. He was an even more fearsome opponent because he spoke politely.

“What do you want from me?”

Then, the evil Soma held out the document he was looking at.

“Call them and tell them to gather together.”

When Director Cho looked at the documents, he found that they were personal information of the women who had participated in this year’s World’s Best Beauty Contest and advanced to the finals.

“Why these people?”
“I don’t know.”

I could call them. I knew where they were staying so I could contact them at any time.
They were all staying in rented guest houses or manors near the Shinhwabang.

Because I couldn’t just do it because I was told to.

“I don’t know why, but the Ark will investigate this later.”

At that time, I said indirectly that I would have to deal with the entire Shinhwabang. I said that because I thought that no matter how scared you were, Shinhwabang would be afraid.

The evil soma stared at him quietly. A single smile formed in his two eyes.
It was not the bright smile he gave to Geommugeuk.

Soma’s laughter that calls for death.

The moment he saw that smile, a terrible fear so intense that he could hardly breathe gripped General Cho. It seemed as if he could hear a soul-rending howl from somewhere dark and deep.

“Did you know?”

It was a question that cut across the front and back, but General Cho’s heart sank.

‘It’s come.’

It was strange that Shinhwabang suddenly held such a competition. He was not the type of person who would think of raising Shinhwabang’s reputation by holding such a competition.
This was definitely not an idea that came from Shinhwabang’s head. He knew that better than anyone else.

It was also strange that he invited the Yeomsa Sword and the Cheolhan Sword after the competition was held. If he had not been afraid of something, he would not have invited them. In addition, he invited the Apostolic Lord to the celebration banquet out of the blue.

Although he noticed something was going on, General Cho pretended not to know and just did what he was told. Just like he had always done.

“I…… don’t know.”

The evil Soma said, looking down at the documents on the table.

“Then prove it.”

There was no need to worry any longer. I had already sensed death from the other person’s laughter.

“What should I call you?”
“Tell them that there will be assigned seats on the final stage.”

General Cho said with a fearful face.

“But this kind of thing requires the permission of the lord.”

Then the evil Soma spoke calmly.

“Your ark won’t have the luxury of that today.”
“!”

General Cho knew what that meant. His heart pounded.

“It’s a competition you prepared for, so shouldn’t you finish it?”

It meant that if you just listened, you could survive.

“all right.”

As Director Cho was gathering up his documents, he noticed the personal information that had been set aside next to his desk. There seemed to be about fifteen of them, and they were also women who had advanced to the finals.

“Why are these women being excluded?”

An unintelligible word flowed out of the mouth of the evil Soma as he looked out the window.

“Those people have already been called.”

* * *

Mr. Noh, an old bachelor who sells all sorts of odds and ends from a cart on the street, is in a good mood these days.
Because of the competition, the streets are filled with people every day. And what beautiful women are they?

I used to hate waking up in the morning, but now I wake up with a start, wanting to go to work.
The woman choosing the items in front of me was also very beautiful.

‘How great it would be if I could marry a woman like this!’

I felt like I could carry it on my back for the rest of my life.

“If you don’t like that, try this.”

Mr. Noh found another trinket displayed on the cart and handed it to her.

“uh?”

Mr. Noh looked around with a surprised expression. The woman who had been looking at the items in front of the cart had disappeared without a trace.

Doo doo doo doo.

The woman was riding in the carriage that had just passed in front of the cart. No, she was actually riding on it. She was so overcome by the blood and blood that she couldn’t move a finger.

She stared at the man sitting in front of her with her eyes wide open, as if she couldn’t believe the situation.
The man was looking out the carriage window while wearing a pure white mask.

‘A faceless guest!’

The woman knew who she was. She was no ordinary woman either.

Seventeen Bridges.

The seventeenth leg of the Cain Church was hers.
She let her guard down. She never dreamed that a passing carriage would kidnap her.

However, he was careless, but his opponent’s skills were too skilled.
The moment the carriage passed behind him, the carriage door opened and he instantly subdued his demon blood and blood. And at the same time, he was loaded onto the carriage. It really happened in the blink of an eye.

‘Where on earth are you taking me?’

The indifferent guest should have given him a glance, but he was just looking out the window. He really felt like a country bumpkin out to see the city.

How long did it run like that? The carriage stopped in front of a building.

There was a knock on the back wall from the coachman’s seat. That was the signal for the unseen passengers in the cabin to get out of the carriage. I could sense the man on the coachman’s seat getting out as well.

When I got off, I had the curtains over the windows drawn, so I couldn’t see what was going on outside.

Seventeen-gyo waited anxiously and tensely.
After a while, she heard the sound of weapons clashing outside. At that moment, she had a gut feeling. The faceless guest was fighting with his comrade.

‘Please! Please!’

Soon the fighting stopped and the surroundings became quiet.
A tense moment.
The carriage door opened with a jerk.

Joy spread across the faces of the Seven Bridges who had confirmed their opponent. The woman standing in front of the carriage was none other than Ohgyo. She was his favorite senior and the only one he recognized for her skills.

She completed twenty-four murders without making a single mistake.

‘As expected! You came to defeat those guys and save me!’

It was at that very moment.
She was pushed in. The five cultivators, who had already been subdued by Ah-hyeol and Ma-hyeol, sat down next to the seventeen cultivators.

“…….”
“…….”

The masked guest who had pushed his way in hit the wall on the side of the carriage as he sat down. Using
that as a signal, the carriage set off.
The masked guest did not even glance at them, just looked at the scenery outside, and the carriage started to run again toward the next bridge.
