Side story 195. In the purple lightning (5)
The marbles broke and a cloud of smoke rose.
The eyes of the public servants who saw the smoke widened. They had no idea that Lee Cheon-sang would really break the marble.
If what he said is true, then from now on we’ll all be dead.
My heart rate spiked outside of work.
“You crazy bastard!”
bang!
The chair shattered with a loud crash and the floor caved in.
When the surprised Gongmu-oe reflexively raised his internal energy, Lee Cheon-sang was already at his side.
The table was shattered and blown away by the explosive speed of the two thousandths.
From an outsider’s perspective, it was like a bolt from the blue. When had it been since he had experienced real combat? While he was panicking due to the sudden broken marble, Lee Cheon-sang approached him, destroying even the chair and table, and his confusion reached its peak.
The left arm outside the official’s office flew towards Lee Cheon-sang’s head.
It was a fist that was swung reflexively without even taking a stance. As expected from the head of the criminal law party, it was filled with powerful internal energy, but if you were to predict the direction, it was nothing.
Lee Cheon-sang, who avoided the punch by bending his upper body diagonally, kicked Gongmu-oe’s shin and struck the demon’s blood like lightning.
“Kwaaaaah!”
A public servant who feels excruciating pain even when only a blood clot is touched.
‘I can’t control it.’
He moved without any magic, using only pure internal energy.
Since he didn’t follow the familiar magic formula, his internal energy and movements naturally became rough. The internal energy he used to insert while touching the acupoints was also not delicate.
It was not strange for the public servant to scream. The pain of having his blood vessels torn would make the hairs on his body stand on end.
‘It’s still not enough.’
Lee Cheon-sang touched the blood of the demon outside of the official duties three more times.
The more I pressed, the more the pain subsided. At the same time, my body’s extremities began to become clearly paralyzed.
‘… … .’
Lee Cheon-sang, who was obsessed with public affairs, suddenly felt a sense of doubt.
‘Chilbogunrim?’
The method of breaking the chair and getting up to move was clearly Chilbogunrim.
However, this was the first time I had unleashed it without unlocking any magical power. In the first place, I had never thought that it was a skill that could be unleashed with only pure internal energy without utilizing any magical power.
His body moved on its own. It was a disconcerting moment even for Lee Cheon-sang.
“이 개새끼가!”
The official outside the office shouted.
“How dare you!”
Sigh.
Yi Cheon-sang’s large hand grabbed the nape of Gongmu’s neck.
At that moment, Gongmu-oe felt a chill down the back of his neck. Five long fingers were grabbing the back of his neck, and the grip was unusual.
He looked as if he would break it right away if it was touched. His face turned pale outside of work.
Lee Cheon-sang whispered softly.
“The Hwanheewonju will be coming here soon.”
“… … !!”
“I will report everything about the act of fabricating evidence to try to frame Seo Pil-bu. Of course, Hwanheewonju has the evidence that you helped.”
“Hey, you!”
“As you know, that guy doesn’t live for tomorrow. He’s the kind of guy who, once he turns his eyes, will blow up bombs everywhere, even if it means destroying everything.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“And to save her, Baekgol Shinma went to the Kyojujeon.”
Outside of work, my mouth fell open.
“Do you understand? What is your situation right now?”
“… … Gulp.”
The public servant swallowed dry saliva and asked in a trembling voice.
“Why is Hwanheewonju being swayed by someone like you?!”
“She is not swayed by anyone. When she sees the situation and decides that she should step forward as the head of the Hwanheewon, she just moves without any hesitation. Wasn’t that the case back then?”
“… … .”
“If you had sided with Gwanghyeol, I would have understood. But by sided with the General, you have gone too far. I don’t understand why the Demon King and the Hwanheewonju came out to destroy the West Gate.”
The eyes outside of the official duties wavered.
“How did you do that… …?”
“I thought so.”
I had only guessed, but I wasn’t sure. It was only after he spoke outside of official duties that it became certain.
The public servants were busy gritting their teeth. They fell into a trap that even the children could not avoid in such a bewildering reality.
Yes, surprisingly, the person who persuaded the official outside the official duties was not the Demon King, but the General of the Military.
If you think about it, it was natural. Among the Demon Kings, the one who held the most power externally was Gwanghyeol, but in reality, there were others who were sharpening their swords in the shadows.
Still, they were the Demon Kings. They created their own people within the school and even formed invisible factions, but officially, only the cult leader and the military commander could confirm a position higher than that of the criminal leader.
I don’t know about other positions, but the position of Baeknoegak’s chief of staff, where a public servant would be, is a position that even the Demon Kings cannot overlook. Naturally, it had to be the General of the Military.
“Hwanheewonju will be here soon. She already knows that you have caught the line that the General has extended.”
“… … !”
“After we meet in person and the verification is complete, she will reveal to the world that she and you conspired to bury the Seopil Bujoo.”
The head of the criminal law department had to be stricter and more upright than anyone else.
Of course, no one in the current Shinto religion would question such a thing. But whether it would be announced publicly or not was a completely different matter.

Incidents that can be called competitions between those who have fought political battles often occur with the tacit permission of those involved. A proper justification is essential. This is because power struggles between those in power must begin and end behind the scenes.
But what if that messy process were to surface? Of course, the school would be in an uproar.
There are already many people who have a negative view of the new religion. In such a situation, what would happen if it was revealed that the head of the criminal law department, who had to deal with the law more than anyone else, actively cooperated in corruption and tried to bury one person?
Even if everyone else is fine, the outsiders are doomed. The school leaders will also try to cover up this situation by placing all the blame on the outsiders and sending them to hell.
The public servant gritted his teeth.
“What should I do?”
In the end, he had no choice but to make a humiliating choice.
We have achieved too much so far to walk down the path to destruction together just to save our pride.
“What did you hear from everything I said so far?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the party member, still holding the official’s hand. The party member just stood there, not knowing what to do.
“Release Do-heon.”
“… … .”
“Announce that the detention was due to a misunderstanding. I won’t identify the person who initiated this situation. If I touch on that, won’t your breathing be blocked?”
Outside of work, I felt my eyes spinning from blood pressure.
Even if I try not to think about it, the place this guy came from keeps coming to mind.
A side story, and especially a turf ring teeming with the lowest class of people. A turf ring there is a guy who is a relative, but is looking down on and threatening me, despite being related to the previous princesses.
If it weren’t for the mental strength that had been honed through many years of political strife, I might have fainted right away. In fact, my lower back felt damp, as if I had already caught a cold.
Swish.
The reason why the trembling anger suddenly turned into a sense of alarm was entirely due to Lee Cheon-sang’s grip. It was a fearsome grip that was filled with the will to break it at any time, even though it didn’t have much force.
The official muttered in a very subdued voice.
“When this is over… … you will truly die by my hands.”
Kook!
“doggish!”
The official outside the office glared at the party members.
“Release Do-heon.”
“……yes?”
“You crazy bastard! You’re being fired for disobeying orders! Get out of here and call someone else!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll let the sinner go!”
The party members moved around in a hurry.
The civil servant who had been grumbling tried to speak in a calm voice.
“The order has been given. Now let go.”
“… … .”
“I said let go of my hand!”
“Quiet.”
There was no excitement or alertness in Lee Cheon-sang’s voice.
“Until Do-heon is released, you cannot escape from my hands.”
* * *
“… … .”
Baek So-dam looked at Baekgol Shinma with sunken eyes.
The White Bone God stood up from his seat.
“I guess I’ll be going now.”
“Elder.”
“Please speak.”
Baek So-dam asked with a deep sigh.
“Why on earth? Why are you going to such extremes for the sake of this author named Lee Cheon-sang?”
“Why did you do that?”
“I just acted according to my beliefs.”
“Me too.”
The White Bone God laughed bitterly.
“Whether it’s for use or trust, I’m walking with him now. And as you know, he’s not a bad person to have along in this bloody new religion.”
“… … .”
“I trust your judgment.”
Baek So-dam shook her head.
“I don’t mean to sound presumptuous, but this is a very unpleasant situation.”
It had to be that way.
It is said that he came out of nowhere and threatened the head of the criminal law party, Lee Cheon-sang. It is said that he even boldly said that he would mention the name of the Hwanheewonju before leaving.
In fact, there was no discussion with Baek So-dam herself. It was a situation that would make anyone uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry about that. That’s why I came here to apologize in person.”
If it’s worth the Demon King’s name, wouldn’t it be worth giving it a try once?
That was what the White Bone God said. That was why it was surprising.
Even before he declared that he would boldly enter politics, and even after, he was not the type of person to risk his position to solve something.
That was his personality from the beginning. Baekgolshinma was proud of the position he had achieved. Because of that pride, he was a person who did not risk his position to do things.
“This is not good. Things have their own order of precedence.”
“Was your belief so light that it could be swayed by your mood?”
“… … !”
“Outside of official duties, he grabbed the rope extended by the military commander.”
“It’s not certain yet.”
“It’s a close probability. You know that, right?”
“… … .”
Baek So-dam kept her mouth shut.
The White Bone God sighed lightly.
“Oh, how selfish of me to say that. It was not my place to bring up my beliefs in front of you.”
“… … .”
“That bastard, Lee Cheon-sang, risked his life.”
“yes?”
“If I can’t convince you, you won’t move. Even if that guy takes Gongmu-oe as a hostage and sells your name to rescue Do-heon, what will you do there alone?”
“… … ?!”
“As soon as I release you from public service, you will be attacked by the Criminal Party. That guy risked his life to save Do-heon.”
Baek So-dam’s eyes wavered.
As soon as they receive a report that there is no movement from the Hwanheewon, the Criminal Law Party will move. Naturally, Lee Cheon-sang cannot escape its clutches.
That is, destruction is imminent.
“I’ll tell you, I’ve seen a lot of people in my time at this age. But even when the previous leader was alive, I’ve never seen anyone turn the organization upside down to this extent for someone who isn’t even their own blood relative.”
“… … .”
“His actions are showing his worth. That’s why I can’t leave him alone.”
The White Bone God turned around.
Baek So-dam opened her mouth.
“If we do that, won’t the elders come and help us in person?”
“I’m going to the cult hall now.”
“… … !!”
“I plan to go to the sect leader’s office and advise him not to touch you even if you move excessively.”
The White Bone God looked back at Baek So Dam.
“This is the order of things I have realized while living in this era.”
