I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 98

Episode 98: The Ghostly Ghost

Myunggyo Subong Market

Buzz buzz buzz.

Even though the sun had set and it was the middle of the night, the market was bustling with people as it was a night market.

But it didn’t sound that good.

“What’s so expensive? Are you kidding me? Are you telling me to starve to death?”

“Hey, I’m about to die, so you have to take care of my house too?! If you don’t have money, then get out.”

“No, that’s not it. I just wanted you to lower the price a little bit more… … .”

“No problem! Barley, corn, wheat. None of them are valuable. Why do you know anything about them?”

“There must be an upper limit set by the church, so why is it like that… … .”

“Listen. When are you talking about this? When did it already fall under the jurisdiction of the Blood Palace? I can barely afford to pay the rent, so if you’re not going to live there, get out now! You punk!”

The appearance of the Black Star and the fall of Salgung.

No rumor shook the lives of the laity.

However, as Sangjae Palace disappeared and Hyulmu Palace entered the marketplace, causing an impact on the market, the sound of wailing overflowed from all over.

Sellers were dying because rents had doubled, and buyers were struggling because of the skyrocketing prices.

This heightened discontent also turned interest, which had not been there before, toward the Great Heavenly Emperor.

“Dirty things. This is just too much. If you mess with the one market that exists, how are the common people supposed to make a living? And then you keep talking about the disappeared Sangjae Palace… … Who do you think you are!”

“What should we do now? There’s no sign of the leader returning. The Presbyterian Church has given up, and Salgung is ruined. If things continue like this, it’s a given that the leader will emerge from the Blood Palace!”

“If only Heukhwaseong-nim would show up at a time like this… … .”

“Even if you come, it won’t matter. You’re not qualified. Don’t come, it’s the end of the world.”

“Well… … . Well, there’s still one more person left. If we’re going to judge by legitimacy, it would be him… … .”

“Who? A little bastard? Are you trying to ruin this guy right now? He’s seriously crazy.”

“Tsk tsk. Where did that cowardly womanizer crawl out of? He won’t even show up at the Great Heavenly Festival. I’ll bet my balls that he won’t show up!”

There was a lot of speculation among the laypeople, but everyone agreed that Yal Yu-cheon would become the next leader.

At some point, the bustling marketplace began to become silent like waves.

“Hey, Ghost Horsemen! The Iron Horse Cavalry has appeared!”

Everyone swallowed hard and fell flat on the floor at the shout that echoed throughout the marketplace.

The ghost horse army of Sohee Do, led by Cheolyo Gimadaeju, appeared on the open road like the parting of the Red Sea.

Those who were complaining were afraid that he might hear them, so they couldn’t even look him in the eye.

Chuck, chuck.

The consistent march of the heavily armed cavalry cavalry, led by Sohee-do, echoed through the marketplace.

It was a sight that clearly showed that the power structure that had been divided into three had completely shifted to the Blood Palace.

*Sohee stopped in an alleyway in a village far from the market.

“Seal it.”

As his heavy name fell.

Chuck, chuck, chuck!

The Iron Horse Corps surrounded and blocked the nearby entrances and exits like a fortress.

Who on earth is here?

As always, Sohee walked away with her face frozen like a statue without saying a word. The new vice-captain was next to her.

The scenery inside the alley was clearly different from the lively scene before.

Squeak, squeak.

The slaughtered animals were hanging from the hooks, releasing a cold sound, and the scent of blood filled the air.

Thud, thud!

Wearing skirts and boots, they cut red meat with square knives.

Even though Sohee and I made eye contact for a moment, instead of being scared, she even showed a hint of life in her eyes.

If it is a place where those who have fallen to the ground gather.

This was a place where those who had been looked down upon from birth gathered.

This is Baekjeongchon, the village of sinners.

Sohee’s steps finally stopped again.

Squeak!

In front sat an old man with white hair chopping meat with a small, delicate knife.

A thin body, disheveled hair falling over her forehead, and a blood-stained skirt.

Despite his rough demeanor, he seemed to have a gentlemanly appearance. Just his appearance gave off a strange vibe.

He glanced at Sohee-do, then paid her no attention and went back to his work.

Sohee also waited silently without asking.

“Would you like to hear it?”

The old man, who had finished his work, handed the meat he had just cut to the assistant manager with a knife.

How dare a mere butcher ask someone to eat raw meat?

The captain followed along without knowing anything at first, but from the moment he entered, he felt uncomfortable because of the foul smell.

“you…….”

As he tried to lean forward with a fierce expression, Sohee Do blocked him.

“I have come to convey an order.”

“The newcomer is a picky eater. Anything tastes best when it’s made right. Well, the ingredients are a bit disappointing though.”

The commander took a step back with a hardened expression. Do you know each other? The world’s greatest ghost horseman talking to an old man? It was something that was hard to understand at first.

On the other hand, the old man shrugged his shoulders and put the bloody meat into his mouth. The crunching sound was somehow creepy.

“Okay, whatever you say. You know, we don’t have much patience. We’ve been patient for a long time already. I hope you get a good answer. The kids are really hungry.”

The deputy commander was startled by his words and looked around.

From children to the elderly, men and women of all ages, all filled the area with savage beasts, each holding a bone-pulling knife.

His bloodshot eyes reminded me of a hungry dog.

“My Lord… … !”

Even though he called urgently, Sohee opened her mouth without changing her expression.

“You have given me permission to hunt.”

“Kuuuuuu… …. Haha! As expected. That’s right! Right!”

When the old man burst into laughter, the alley was filled with laughter.

Ha ha ha, giggle. There was nothing more bizarre than the laughter of the white men with bloodshot eyes at the same time.

The commander had seen all sorts of things while serving in the Iron Horse Corps, but he never imagined that Baekjeongchon would be such a den of lunatics.

“If you go to Mokbong Pungakryeong, there will be demons waiting for you.”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter to anyone. We just have to seize the opportunity. What do you want us to do?”

“Just do as you were doing.”

“Ku …

Sohee Do threw a thick leather pouch from her bosom.

“I’ll give you double that when you’re done.”

“I will follow orders. Hehe.”

The old man’s eyes curved like crescent moons. As Sohee turned and walked away, the Baekjeongs snickered and opened the way.

The deputy commander followed after shrugging his shoulders. Only after they left the alley did he open his trembling mouth wide.

“My Lord, who on earth are they?”

Sohee-do didn’t answer right away, but instead stared blankly at the captain.

“Why are you doing that? Did I do something wrong… … .”

“If you had taken one more step, you wouldn’t have survived.”

The moment he gave me the piece, I thought I had misheard him. He must have died. Who would have killed the world’s best iron cavalry? If it was just one shot… … Are you talking about when he handed me the meat?

The moment I was about to ask Sohee again as she was walking away, his voice rang out first.

“A bloodhound lord, a cannibal demon, a demon thief. A murderer who makes deals in exchange for the light badge.”

Sohee also walked away again after finishing her speech. The deputy chief slowly turned around and looked at the entrance to Baekjeong Village. Sweat dripped down her spine.

Cannibalistic demon ogwi.

The mere name made my stomach churn and my heart pound.

It was a different story for the Iron Horse Knights, who had no fear whatsoever in the face of death, or for the Do-Gwi-Gwi.

Several years ago, a shocking incident occurred in which an elder was murdered in a crowded marketplace.

What was even more surprising was that the opponent was just a commoner, and that he was eaten alive on the spot, leaving only the bones behind.

When the Geumgi-dae and Mugeom-dae arrived late, he said this without being surprised.

‘I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat it again, but wait. Let’s eat it all and then go. Okay? Hehe.’

A mine that enjoys cannibalism with a smiling face.

That was the devil.

It was surprising that he, who should have been locked up in Manmadong, was in Baekjeongchon, but Sohee-do gave him a job.

The deputy commander followed, feeling the heavy weight of the world he would have to experience in the future.

* * *

Myunggyo Mokbong Pungakryung

Pungak Pass (風岳坽) is a large, winding pass that was classified as a dangerous area.

Falls were frequent due to the strong winds and the large trees making it difficult to see even an inch ahead.

It was one of the places that even the herbalists of the Poison Palace were most reluctant to visit.

There was no place more suitable for hiding one’s body.

“You’re chasing me like crazy, really. You must be crazy!”

A woman who can make men’s hearts dangerous just by looking at her.

Could the saying, “a flower that closes the moon and is ashamed of its flowers” be more fitting than this?

It is a short-legged hawk hiding between the large trees, always looking around.

She ran away from the Somyeong Palace and entered the Pungakryong to avoid the assassination squad.

“Subong. I have to meet him.”

It wasn’t that I ran away just to avoid everything.

I just wanted to see Subong one more time. It seemed like if I stayed at Somyeong Palace, I wouldn’t be able to do anything and would have to set up a new house.

“Hyangmyo, that kid needs to come find me… … .”

While running away, Dan Ye-hwa dropped the card that Hyang-myo had given her before.

‘If you miss me, leave this on the street. I’ll run over there and smell it.’

‘Do I smell?’

‘Ouch! Sour sweaty stinks!’

‘do you want to die?’

‘Haha, see you later-!’

When I handed it to you with a wink, I wondered when I would use it, but I never thought I would end up using it like this.

While I was so anxious and my heart was pounding, a sound of human presence appeared through the bushes.

A woman of small stature wearing a cat mask.

“Eheradiya-!”

It’s a fragrant tomb. She even followed the wind spirit, which was amazing.

Dan Ye-hwa tried hard to hide her joy and said quietly. Shhh!

When I motioned for him to come in, Hyangmyo tilted her head, came over to me, and squatted down semi-forcibly.

“Miss, how did you know that today was my day off and called me? I almost fell to my death while climbing the wind and music. Next time, please call me somewhere better.”

“Okay, so be quiet. First of all, thank you for coming. But I’m being chased right now, right? So tell me.”

“What?”

“Subong, no. Where is that Heukhwaseong guy?”

“Is it a black star?”

Hyangmyo scratched the mask and asked back.

You wouldn’t be asking without knowing who he was. When he looked at her sharply, Hyangmyo sighed deeply and continued asking an unexpected question.

“Lady. Do you hate the young cult leader?”

“What? Why are you asking that?”

“I just listened and realized something, that’s why.”

She wanted to just say no curtly, but Dan Ye-hwa sat down and leaned against the tree at the serious tone.

“It doesn’t matter what I think of that person. Right now, all I can think of is Soo-bong. I want to see her. I want to touch her.”

“yes?”

“Ah. I mean, I want to talk face to face.”

“You said you wanted to touch it. Where?”

“do you want to die?”

When Dan Ye-hwa glared at her, Hyang-myo giggled and clasped her hands together.

“So you’re so in love with him that you want to touch him, right? Passionate. Hyangmyo Gaechwi! Got it, registration complete!”

“Who, who is in love with you! What are you groping for!”

“You shook our Binghwa’s heart like this. Subong, you’re going too far.”

“Take it easy, really. Do you know where that guy is?”

“I know.”

“Do you know? Where is it? Where is it?”

“It’s a daily wage.”

Dan Ye-hwa felt like she had been hit in the back of the head by Hyang-myo’s words.

Why did I forget?

‘Yeah, I’m a day laborer.’

There was no need to come all this way in the first place. I felt annoyed and excited at the same time. I’ll see you soon. Soobong, you, wait.

His eyes lit up, and his relaxed legs filled with strength as he stood up.

“let’s go.”

“Old? Now?”

“You said today was your day off.”

“That’s true. I just got back from work… … .”

“Great, I’ll take you this time.”

“The fragrance of the incense burner is depressing.”

Kick. Anyway, she’s a girl who you can hate but not hate at all. She raised Hyangmyo’s arm.

Now it’s time to go meet Soo-bong.

So the two of them were about to leave for Ilbong again.

“Kihihihihi-!”

“Kyahahahaha!”

A cruel and haunting howl echoed through the air along with the flames.

A group of insane, cannibalistic killers.

A bloodhound has appeared.
