Chapter 107: The Lazy Man Suggests (2)

"If I could save the world from a crisis by eating the Explosion Corps, then of course I would. Even if I were a former ronin, it's self-evident that I owed the world a favor. Considering where the sumptuous food I ate and the luxurious clothes I wore came from, it's only natural. Humans should never forget a favor."

Wi Yeon-ho's eyebrows narrowed.

My tongue is long, what is this? I feel uneasy for some reason.

"one!"

The spine light raised the flag of counterattack.

“I am not afraid of dying. What I am afraid of is that I will gain nothing by dying.”

Spinal Cord looked around with wide, piercing eyes. Everyone avoided eye contact with Spinal Cord. Everyone knew that if they caught his eye, nothing good would happen.

“If I sacrificed my life to swallow the Explosion Group and still can’t find a solution, wouldn’t that be a problem?”

The atmosphere was becoming more and more delicate.

“Then what do you want us to do?”

At Zhuge Yan's question, Chu Shuigwang shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm saying let's do it for sure, for sure. I'll gladly accept the sacrifice. If you're ready, I'm willing to swallow it right away."

The story is getting long.

Everyone was squinting their eyes and looking at the spinal column.

Suk Soo-kwang looked at Wi Yeon-ho.

"That must be the purpose of the small group. If I swallow the Explosion Group, they'll watch what happens inside my body and how I overcome it. If they see any abnormalities in the process, they might be able to find a clue to solving the Explosion Group."

“Yes.”

“That’s a wrong idea.”

"yes?"

"To be precise, it's not so much a mistake as a missing step. To detect the abnormality occurring in my body, I first need to understand what happens when a normal person swallows a bomb and dies. Only then will I know what's different."

Now everyone finally understood what the spinal cord was saying.

The atmosphere became tense, but Chuck Soo-kwang didn't stop talking.

"For that, I need another person. An ordinary person can't swallow a Blast. At the very least, I need to watch a master, someone of similar skill level, consume it and die. Then, I need to watch myself consume it. That way, we can compare."

The corners of Suk Soo-kwang's mouth curled up.

On the contrary, the faces of others became even more rigid.

"You said it was for the peace of the world. I agree. So now I'll ask."

The spinal columnist spoke in a voice that seemed to drip with life.

“Who would like to have a bloody feast before Nobu?”

“…….”

Wi Yeon-ho was amazed.

'This guy is no joke.'

The logic is perfect. Wei Yanho also felt a little uneasy about that part. He'd already seen many people collapse from symptoms of Explosive Corps use, but they weren't as strong as Spinal Cord. Furthermore, he couldn't guarantee that their symptoms were exactly the same as those of Explosive Corps use.

If the solution lies solely with the spinal column, then the spinal column must be the last card. The last card that never fails.

To completely destroy the spinal column, the process proposed by the spinal column is clearly necessary. There's only one problem.

“So who would like to volunteer?”

The spinal column gave a soft smile.

But no one met Spinal Man's eyes. Spinal Man had at least experienced a past experience of taking the Explosive Agent and surviving. But the others didn't.

Who would be willing to sacrifice their life for the well-being of Kangho?

If enemies were swarming before us, many would give up their lives. But this was different.

Even if there were no masters in the world, there were countless others willing to die in their stead. No one would volunteer for this task and risk their precious lives.

'It's hot.'

Wi Yeon-ho whetted his appetite.

It wasn't just that I wanted to drive the spinal maniac. If the spinal maniac had survived with such inaction in the past, I was confident it would survive this time too.

That's why I pushed him away, but if he escaped like this, there was no way to re-entrap him. Even if someone were to find a volunteer, it would take time, and by that time, the situation would have spiraled out of control.

“How many explosives are there in the party now?”

Zhuge Yan opened his mouth as if he was trying to grab at straws, but Tang Cheon-gun could only respond with a bitter expression.

“Two eggs.”

“Two eggs…….”

A bitter look appeared on Zhuge Yan's face. Of all things, there were two more pills.

“So, in the end, who is to take the Explosive Agent first……”

Zhuge Yan looked straight at Wei Yanhu and said.

“So-hyeop, if someone eats the Explosion Blood Dan, and the Yeonju takes the Explosion Blood Dan and sees the difference, can we definitely solve it?”

“Probably so.”

Wi Yeon-ho shrugged.

"In my opinion, this isn't poison. Poison wouldn't exhibit these symptoms. The Explosion Dan is more like a medium that forcibly channels energy. So… the moment you ingest it, it's like adding another martial art. Like the legendary Blood-Reverse Art, that kind of martial art."

“Is that possible?”

"You saw it with your own eyes. Those who eat the Explosion-type pills have their energy multiplied several times over a short period of time. And as a side effect, they become withered like a snail, with no energy left."

“Hmm…….”

"Conversely, if you can see how the energy flows to produce that effect, you'll get a clue. If no one has overcome it, you wouldn't know, but there are people who have."

"It's true that Yeonju took the Explosive Blood and came back to life. But maybe this time it's different?"

"It may be different. But I think we'll see a similar process. Then, we just need to supplement it."

Wi Yeon-ho sighed.

"To be honest, I can't guarantee you'll succeed. But it's a lot better than not trying at all. The odds aren't great, but it's a gamble that could succeed. There's no other way, and the odds are against it."

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Yan nodded.

"Let's end this playful atmosphere here. This is a truly crucial matter. If we fail to resolve this matter and the Explosion Clan's symptoms spread throughout the martial world, the Demonic Cult will have the martial world under their thumb without a single effort."

“…….”

"That must be stopped. We must stop it at all costs. In the name of the Cheon Eui-ryeon, I will find a volunteer. As soon as possible."

Zhuge Yan's eyes were resolute.

But most of those present knew that those words were far from practical. While the martial arts world teemed with skilled warriors, few would risk their lives for something like this.

Of course, we can't say it doesn't exist at all. But if we add one more condition, it becomes nearly impossible.

The condition is that one must have the ability to approach the spinal column.

Spinal cord is a high-tech.

While he may not be the world's unparalleled master, he possesses a martial art worthy of a regional champion. Even in the martial arts world, those possessing a similar level of martial arts are few and far between.

Even in the entire Sacheon region, there are probably fewer than ten people who meet these requirements. And those who meet these requirements are all either the leaders of a sect or representatives of that sect.

Would such people easily throw away their lives?

You'll end up wasting time by putting things off to each other.

“Your Majesty.”

Zhuge Yan looked at Chi Shui Guang with a sharp gaze.

"I know it's not looking good. This might lead to the eternal condemnation of those here. But this is absolutely necessary. So, if someone decides to take the Explosives, you, Lord Lien, must keep your promise."

“I don’t say two things at once.”

Light streamed out from the eyes of the spinal canal.

"Don't think I'm just saying this to get out of here. If I have to eat the Explosives, I want to eat them with more value. I, too, am a person who hates the Demonic Cult like no other. If I could, I'd devour them alive. Do you think I would hesitate to risk my life to stop the Demonic Cult?"

There was sincerity in the voice of the spinal canal.

"Let me know when I need to eat the Explosion Group. After all, I have no family or friends. It seems eating one of these is worth more than beheading a thousand demons. Then there's no need to hesitate. It's not like I'll die anyway."

The spine was swollen with appetite.

“If there's one thing I regret… it's that I finally found a way to break through the wall, but I haven't been able to get over it. But isn't that how life is?”

Zhuge Yan smiled bitterly.

'A giant is a giant.'

Normally, it wouldn't be possible to risk the life of the Cheon Eui-ryeonju for an experiment. Even from the Cheon Eui-ryeon's perspective, it would be madness. If the Cheon Eui-ryeonju was the Tang Heavenly Prince, he would never have tolerated it. Moreover, the Tang family would never permit it.

But the spinal column was possible, because he had no power.

It wasn't for this reason that I was put in the position of a sergeant.

"Okay. Then I'll wrap things up here for today. I'll be back soon…"

"for a moment."

Someone raised a hand slightly to block Zhuge Yan's intention to finish the meeting.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the person who raised their hand.

"There's no need to break the position. If we keep doing that, we won't be able to find any applicants even after a month."

“…….”

The man who hit the nail on the head opened his mouth quietly.

"You don't have to search for applicants. I know someone who's just right."

“Are you a good person?”

"He may not be as good as Lienju, but he possesses a level of invincibility that leaves him untouched. And yet, he's not overly entangled. Even if that one person were to disappear, the martial world wouldn't be in trouble."

Everyone's brows furrowed slightly.

But the meaning was slightly different.

Some people were offended that it was that person who said such things. He was not the type of person to devalue someone so much.

And some expressed their concerns.

The reason was the same: That person isn't one to disparage others. The only person he can disparage is himself.

“I’d rather not say anything.”

Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth with a stern face.

A firm voice. A voice filled with the determination to never tolerate anything.

But the man did not respond to Wi Yeon-ho.

“There is only one person fit to swallow the Bombers.”

“I told you to stop.”

The man continued speaking in a calm tone.

"No matter how much I think about it, I'm the only one who's fit for this job. I'll do it."

"father!"

Wi Yeon-ho suddenly stood up from his seat.

Righteous.

Jeonghyeopgeom Wei Zhenghan volunteered to swallow up the Explosive Group.
