Episode 60: An Untimely Trouble
Drumroll, woooooo.
In the quiet space without a single sound, the trumpets of the crew members rang loudly.
As time passed, they fell asleep one by one, and in the end only Danya remained.
He couldn’t sleep, so he went out to a place away from the house and sat deep in thought.
‘I feel strange. The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems… … .’
Of course, at first I didn’t feel anything special, but as I started exploring and looked around, a strange feeling started to pop up.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t sleep and just stared blankly at the place shrouded in fog.
‘There’s definitely something there… … . What could it be? Can I go in? What if I go in and never come out?’
The more I thought about it, the deeper my doubts grew, and the more I felt suffocated.
It was at a time when I was so lost in thought and discussing things to myself.
“What? You’re still not asleep?”
“Poetry, poetry, death penalty!”
A man approached me with a frown as if he was going to eat me. It was Danshikang.
“f*ck. Why wake everyone up? Are you thoughtless? Or are you just stupid?”
He also seemed unable to sleep, as he came over and sat down with clear eyes.
“Oh, what’s the matter? You’re not sleeping.”
“It’s crazy to fall asleep in this situation. I could starve to death right here.”
Thud! Danshikang spat and fell to the ground.
Yarang didn’t know what to do and lifted her buttocks off the ground when the person she was most afraid of sat right next to her. If she sat there, her buttocks would be so hot that she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
I thought it would be better for both of us to quickly get out of the way since I would probably get yelled at or scolded.
But.
“Sit down, kid.”
For some reason, Danshikang spoke in a low tone without even looking up.
“yes…….”
I sat down quickly, feeling a bit puzzled.
‘I was out for nothing… … . I can’t breathe.’
It was a terrible experience to be with Danya. How could I feel comfortable sitting alone with the person I had the most difficulty with, without saying a word?
The air density has disappeared and it feels like exhaling is more frequent than inhaling.
“… … Damn. They said it was a double-crossing battle. I never dreamed I’d end up dying here too.”
“capital punishment…….”
Danshikang muttered as if he could hear it, but he couldn’t. Normally, he would have cursed at me with his eyes burning, asking what kind of death penalty it was, but he didn’t react at all as if he hadn’t heard me.
That’s why Danya decided to be brave.
“I heard that my father, who was executed… … passed away at Miinbong Peak.”
“So what? Are you choosing?”
No way… … .
Danyarang hesitated and closed her mouth. She knew very well why she was being treated as a foreigner.
All of the assassination squad members were related to those who were sacrificed at Miinbong.
But Dan Ya-rang, the survivor of Miinbong, and a complete stranger who wasn’t even a member of Geomdan Palace.
Of course, it would have been impossible for it to look good.
“Why? Do you think it’s your responsibility? Who are you? A piece of shit.”
“No! That, that’s not it… … . I’m sorry.”
“You idiot. You’re just the youngest. You’re still a brat who can’t do anything on your own. So stop being so cocky.”
Somehow his swearing didn’t sound so offensive today. It seemed like it contained complex emotions.
“You will be able to… … survive.”
“What are you saying, kid?”
“It’s true.”
Although it was a remark made to appease Danshikang, his expression was filled with confidence.
“how.”
“No, that’s… … I mean… … .”
Because the cult leader was here, my throat was filled with anger, but I couldn’t bring myself to spit it out.
“You. Do those kids look like they’re having a good time without thinking?”
“yes?”
Danshikang pointed to the slaughterhouse that was sleeping soundly from the house to the surrounding area.
“Those kids know that too. One day, two days. They’ll act like everything’s okay, but one day, they’ll end up here like their predecessors. They all know that, but they just don’t want to show it.”
“To whom… … ?”
“Who are you, you little brat? You little brat priests.”
“why?”
Danshikang raised the corners of his lips in a bitter manner at the innocently asking face.
“Because it’s a waste.”
“… … .”
“You’re a member of the so-called Mu-geom-dae slaughter squad, so how can you be shaking like a rat when you’re sentenced to death? So don’t act like an adult and stay in a corner and cry. Whether you leave or not is not something you should worry about.”
Danya didn’t understand everything he said, but for the first time, she felt like he was like an adult.
Danshikang got up from his seat. Yarang followed him, swaying awkwardly.
“Don’t follow me. It’ll make you feel bad. And don’t act like an idiot and just go to sleep.”
“yes?”

“What are you asking, kid?”
Danya-rang scratched her head and watched his disappearing back.
‘I really don’t know what the death penalty is.’
But one thing was clear: strangely, I didn’t feel bad.
Danya laughed for no reason and stretched out her arms.
The heavy feeling in my heart disappeared and my steps became lighter.
“Should I go on patrol?”
It wouldn’t be much of a deal anyway, but I felt proud at the thought that I was protecting the prisoners.
“uh……?”
Danyarang, who had been walking slowly along the edge, stopped at the forest path behind the watermill.
‘what?’
I tilted my head and squinted my eyes to look around. I couldn’t see clearly because of the mist that swayed like seaweed, but there was definitely something there.
Danyarang cautiously walked towards the fog.
Okay then.
Shh.
Something red clearly caught my eye.
‘What? What is it? What is it?’
Gulp. My heart rate increased and I became confused. I turned my gaze towards the sleeping crew members.
Do you have a whisper like a seduction?
“omg!”
I shook my head in surprise. I can do it by myself. I can do it too. I mustered up my courage.
Slowly, slowly. I took another step towards the fog. For no reason, I tilted my body backwards and just waved my hands.
“Did I see something wrong… …?”
When there was no response, my guard was lowered and a sigh of relief was breathed.
That moment when your head slowly bows and you gradually get closer.
Two long arms shot out through the fog.
An arm that looks as if the skin has peeled off and turned red!
Hwaaaaak!
“Eww!”
Boom!
Danyarang, who had fallen unconscious, shook off the strong arm and ran around without hesitation.
Tsk tsk! My robe was torn and my hair was standing on end, it felt like my soul was being taken away.
As I ran to the house in one breath, I saw the executioners waking up one by one, perhaps because of the commotion.
“But this kid… … ?”
The first thing I saw was Danshikang. He was rubbing his eyes and his face was distorted.
However, the current Danya was nowhere to be seen. He grabbed her shoulder and shook her madly.
“Ghost! Ghost! Ghosty!”
“Let go! Let go! You little shit!”
“No! No, you little shit!”
“What, what… … ?”
“Eww!”
The next night at Miinbong Peak.
An unexpected ghost commotion broke out.
* * *
The Pungryongdae had to sleep with death always by their bedside.
The blades were unannounced and everywhere.
‘For a just cause.’
We risked everything and gave our lives for one sentence.
There were fifteen members who left like that.
The guy who had been laughing and nagging me for not going hungry for several days until yesterday passed away without even saying goodbye.
What I could do for those who left was not to say goodbye unheard, but to immerse myself in the swamp of revenge.
So that we wouldn’t lose anyone. That’s how we sharpened our knives.
That’s Gangho, that’s the world we live in.
‘But that also requires that the other person is alive.’
Danya woke up all the crew members and kept shouting that she had seen a ghost.
“It’s true. I really saw it.”
The guy made a face. I sat cross-legged, resting my chin on my hand, and faced him indifferently.
“Who pulled you over there?”
“Yes, yes. I saw it clearly. I saw it with my own eyes! Look here. Even the clothes are torn.”
Danya showed off her back, which looked like it had been eaten by rats, as if she was complaining about her grievances.
It definitely looks like someone ripped it off… … .
“Where the hell is this kid seeing things and waking me up to this nonsense!”
Danshikang came in again, raising his voice, wondering why the judgment was distorted.
After that, as the curses continued to pour out at a rapid pace, Dan Tae-yong was finally dragged out.
Once again, Danyarang’s eyewitness testimony continued.
“The skin was red, as if it had peeled off… … uh… … and the fingernails were long, as if bone was sticking out.”
After the guy finished speaking, everyone became lost in thought.
There was a moment of silence, and various opinions poured out from everyone.
The focus is, of course, not on ghosts but on martial arts.
“Could this be some kind of magic trick?”
“Your hands are red. The nickname of Sosu Magong is Baekoksu (White Jade Hand).”
“Ah. Then, Bloodthirsty Water Dragon?”
“The red beggar’s body doesn’t turn red. If you just think about his fingernails, they’re close to the nine-yin white bone claws… … .”
The Nine Yin Baekgoljo was lost long ago along with the Nine Yin True Sutra.
What if someone left a secret note at Miinbong? No. That would be too far-fetched. If that was the case, there’s no way the Myunggyo would have left it alone until now.
If we get to the bottom of it, the most questionable thing is who on earth created the Unmu Zone on Miinbong Peak.
If even the Heavenly Demonic Spirit cannot detect the energy, then it cannot have been done by one person. At least several dozen elders must have gathered together…
“But how does the young sect leader know all that?”
As I snapped out of my deep thoughts, my crew members looked at me with a puzzled look on their faces.
“Someone who said he had no interest in martial arts… … .”
Anyway, there are times when I am sharp in strange places.
“If you go to Cheonmaseogo, everything will come out.”
“Yeah, hehe. You must have seen and heard something. We were born different.”
“That’s true too.”
The atmosphere that had been noisy due to the unresolved issue became quiet again.
At that moment, Danjiho suddenly stood up from his seat and said.
“There’s no way out anyway. You’ll know once you go there yourself. Taeyong, Si-gang, Yeok-man, Bong. You follow me and the rest of you wait here.”
“Chief! The guy might have been scared and seeing things.”
“Anyway, whether it’s this way or that way, we have to go somewhere. There’s no answer even if we wait. And what’s more strange is that there are no traces of people living there… … .”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the words carved on the wall.
Everlasting.
Danjiho continued speaking with sharper eyes, calming the mood.
“That phrase itself is unusual. I have never seen such bad handwriting in my entire life. It is truly sloppy and evil. The author must have committed a great sin in the church. He must have been hiding here and living there.”
“Well. But if you look at it closely, it seems like a rough and tumble style with even spacing and good… … .”
“What does the little cult leader know? You are wrong. You know ten things by looking at one character. That is very dirty, gloomy… It smells like a pervert.”
“f*ck.”
“yes?”
“Oh, no.”
I bit my lower lip. Words that were less and less like mine were coming out.
“Get ready. We’ll chase him before it’s too late.”
As Danjiho went out of the house, Danyarang followed him and spoke cautiously.
“Excuse me, can I go too?”
“With Danya.”
“Yes, sir!”
“You ran away in fear without even looking at your opponent properly. Is that all? You just kept talking nonsense about ghosts.”
“That, that is… … .”
“Aren’t you ashamed?”
Danjiho’s cold tone pressed down on Danyarang’s shoulder.
“So… … So please take me with you. Give me a chance to make up for it. Commander.”
“… … Wait quietly for the decision.”
“promotion!”
Danyarang cried out sadly. It may seem cruel, but it was understandable.
They are the swordsmen who are in charge of the front lines of the famous school. No matter how young and inexperienced they may be, if they discovered the enemy and ran away, it would not be strange to be severely punished on the battlefield.
“let’s go.”
Danjiho and the people whose names were called came out of the house. The crew members also went out to greet them, their mouths watering.
Eventually, when the two of us were left alone, the guy looked at me pitifully, like a puppy that had just run into a toilet.
I know what you want.
however.
“no.”
