The Return of The Crazy Demon Chapter 22

22. Put up the red light.

Cha Seong-tae answered while looking at the knife that suddenly came under his chin.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? These guys originally had nothing to do with me. They were the guys who always hung out with Woo-geum and Jun-gu. You saw what I killed with my own hands. “I didn’t know it would suddenly happen like this.”

I answered.

“Think about it carefully. It’s not your fault… … .”

Cha Seong-tae, who was lost in thought for a moment with a serious look, answered in a calm tone.

“There wasn’t one… … “There it is.”

“What.”

Seongtae Cha spoke honestly.

“… … The Jeomsoy bastard suddenly became stronger for the two guys. Everyone be careful. I think I’ve said this a few times. Actually, I was really careful, but I don’t think these guys took it very seriously. “When I think about it, it was my fault.”

Seongtae Cha knew exactly.

I asked.

“What do you want to do next? “I think I have to kill half of the men in Ilyang County to prevent this from happening. Can you do that?”

“There is no need for that. What should I do? Please tell us.”

I responded.

“I told you this before. You shouldn’t talk to me informally anymore. Not only in front of me, but also in front of other guys. Everyone in Ilyang County knows that I am Jeomso, who was at Jaha Gaekjan. I’m going to make haomun in the future, but if it starts to look like this from you, I might have to keep cutting it, thinking that it’s a long day. I do not care. There’s no way I’m going to die from these guys. “But it seems like you were the first to take me lightly, so people who don’t need to die keep turning into corpses.”

“That’s right. “I will admit it.”

“From now on, do your best to package me. He’s a really scary guy… … “Anyway, everyone I see is dead.”

“That’s true.”

“Inflate it more. Exaggerated, more evil than known, merciless, crazy. You’re stronger than you realize. And that’s true.”

“yes.”

“You have to be afraid of me first so your subordinates won’t be afraid. That is the case now and in the future.”

“I understand perfectly now.”

“Actually, my skills are good enough that I don’t have to show them all in a town like this. “If you don’t plan on spending your whole life cleaning up corpses, do your best.”

“yes.”

“Let’s do our best.”

“I will do well.”

Only then did I put away my sword and speak to Cha Seong-tae.

“Give me some outerwear.”

Tendons bulged on Cha Seong-tae’s forehead.

“yes?”

For a moment, Cha Seong-tae, who thought that this mistake had caused this situation, quickly continued speaking.

“Oh, I understand. I have to take it off. “I keep getting lost in words.”

Cha Seong-tae slapped himself on the cheek and then handed me a jangsam. While putting on Cha Seongtae’s jangsam, he spoke to his corpse.

“… … “I don’t know what will happen if I fight them because they are low level guys.”

Seongtae Cha asked.

“What happened to Woogeum and Jungu?”

“It seemed like there was some things to see in the other world. “He left in a hurry.”

“Oh, I see. “They’re busy guys.”

Cha Seong-tae was mourning the death itself because people he knew had died.

“In the past, Woo-geum and Jun-gu talked to me about gathering the kids and killing the three Jo brothers. “If I hadn’t stopped him, he would have died.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, this time we did this sh*t among ourselves without even discussing it. “This is proof that I’m not even close to them.”

“excellent.”

Cha Seong-tae, who arrived at Maehwaru together a while later, said.

“Go in and rest. I’ll gather the kids and dispose of the bodies. If this continues, the plague will spread. “There are so many corpses.”

“It doesn’t spread to this extent.”

I climbed the stairs while looking around the messy Maehwaru Pavilion. Fights broke out every day, so customers stopped coming.

Maybe it’s my fault too.

However, it was also a pain that had to be experienced.

While I was going up the stairs, everyone who was cleaning or removing the body stopped and looked at me.

I stopped at the railing of the stairs and spoke to the people working at Maehwaru.

“why?”

“no.”

“Tell this to everyone you know. If I try again, this is what happens. At least in Ilyang County, don’t think about doing anything to me. As you can see, the result is like this. Close your business today. Don’t even sell alcohol. “You have to be quiet to mourn the dead.”

“All right.”

Maehwaru became quiet.

I washed myself again before going up to Joygyeol’s room. I still thought this was Joy Gyeol’s room. This is because I was thinking of returning once the Jaha guesthouse that had been burned by those guys was restored.

* * *

I was sitting cross-legged with my eyes closed when I heard a song that started somewhere in Maehwaru Pavilion.

The tone was good.

It was a song I had heard before, and the owner of the voice was Chae-hyang.

The title of the song is Cheongcheonghabancho (淸淸河畔草).

A beautiful woman in a pavilion is holding out her white hand with red powder on it by the moonlit window. The woman was once a gisaeng and is now the wife of the prodigal son… … The song was about the difficulty of keeping her empty bed alone now that even the prodigal son has not returned.

In the lyrics, there are expressions such as Cheongcheong (clean), Ulul (鬱鬱), Yeongyeong (盈盈), Gyogyo (皎皎), Ah (娥娥), and Seomseom (纖纖).

Calm is not a word.

When paired with a tone, it all brings to mind a woman’s skin, the curves of her body, the features of her private parts, the atmosphere of the night, the subtlety of her bite, and the woman’s subtle seduction.

Of course, it may not be interpreted that way.

However, the decisive emphasis is placed on the phrase “empty space, space, and space”.

What does it mean if you say Cheongcheong, Uulul, Yeongyeong, Gyogyo, Ah, Seomseom in a sweet voice, and then say that it is difficult to keep an empty bed alone?

This is a song of seduction, so in terms of power, it is a martial art. In fact, the pretty female monkeys belonging to the Sa Sect often smeared their faces with powder and then called out Cheongcheonghabancho to rob several innocent white-haired men. It would have been fortunate if he could just shake it off, but of course he was killed.

Anyway, since the world of beauty doesn’t work for me, I focused on fortune-telling again.

And by my standards, Chaehyang was not a beauty.

To be beautiful, you have to have a kind heart.

It seemed like it would end with Cheongcheonghabancho, but then another song followed.

I was momentarily distracted, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I screamed.

“Shut up!”

As the loud shouting spread throughout Maehwaru, the singing voice suddenly stopped. I gave the command in the same tone from the top floor of Maehwaru so that everyone in the building could clearly hear it.

“Take down the blue lanterns and hang up the red lanterns.”

Cha Seong-tae, who had just returned from ordering his subordinates to work, shouted repeatedly as soon as he heard me on the first floor.

“Take down the blue lanterns and hang up the red lanterns.”

I gave the command again.

“Gisaengs can stay where they are, but women who worked as pr****utes should now find other jobs. Maehwaru, Ihwaru, and Sihwaru will be operated as Hongru from now on. “If any of the guests try to set things up as if they were hanging out in the castle hall, please report it to me.”

Seongtae Cha repeated the last part.

“From now on, we will operate as Red House.”

Although the meaning was different depending on the region, the Red House is generally a place where the prohibition against worship, obedience, and obedience is more strictly observed.

Although I was crazy in general, I was never crazy about money. There was no need for women to work as pr****utes where I stayed.

“Seongtae… … .”

Cha Seong-tae, who gave a short answer from downstairs, ran up the stairs. Cha Seong-tae, who quickly climbed the high stairs four times, spoke at the door.

“Did you call me?”

“What about the body?”

“I told them to take care of it and I came back.”

“Ihwaru and Sihwaru are also operated as Hongru.”

“yes.”

“Joe generously takes care of people who have a place to go by deducting severance pay from their assets. In particular, send out all the children who were working as pr****utes. They told only those women who wanted to learn a craft or do odd jobs to stay. “Because I don’t want to see it.”

“All right.”

“Please give special advice to the men at work. If you cause an accident, I’m going to kill you. I repeat, please restore Jaha Gaekjan quickly. “The room smells strange and the bedding is so expensive that it’s uncomfortable to sleep.”

“I will tell you.”

“Turn it off.”

“Yes, I will disappear.”

As soon as I sent Cha Seong-tae away, I went into the fortune-telling breakfast.

In an instant, I forgot everything.

The Black Cat Room, the Black Shell Treasure, the Twelve Gods, the Master of the Twelve Gods, the Three Dead Brothers, and the Twin Demons of the Thresher came to mind, but after tearing them apart with the sword of my heart, their presence was erased.

I repeated this cycle until dawn, and only when the sun rose did I lie down on the bedding and try to sleep.

I thought I could sleep well today.

Sleeping alone was useless in the face of fatigue, so I slept until noon.

In my dream, I briefly met an unidentified man, and he was imprisoned.

I couldn’t remember the conversation, but I knew one thing.

That man will have to stay in prison for a very long time because of me.

Anyway, I woke up feeling sorry for the man.

* * *

After about thirty days, progress was made in the construction of the foundation of Jaha Gaekjan. Because the site was wide, the guest room was quite large.

I heard that the person in charge of construction was replaced in the meantime, but I didn’t bother to meet him.

However, just by looking at the newly built sectional foundation construction, it was so meticulously constructed that you could picture the building on top of it in your head.

It feels like I’ve finally found someone with talent.

Jaha guest cups, which had a musty smell everywhere, had disappeared, and now the largest guest cup in Ilyang County was being built.

Guest rooms originally served as lodgings.

Jaha Gaekjan only had cheap rooms that were occasionally given out to Botjim merchants, but the Jaha Gaekjan that is being made now has grown to a size where large groups of people can stay and travel together.

Additionally, this place would become Hao Mun’s temporary headquarters.

I stood in an empty lot and imagined something like this. This is the sight of Haomundo gathering together to share drinks and food. In that Haomundo, there must have been competitors and rivals from my past life, as well as people who were sometimes my enemies.

The plan was to catch all these crazy monkeys and make them stay in Haomen Island.

The plan was to change the fate of the monkeys and turn the tables on Gangho.

“Why are you thinking so deeply?”

Cha Seong-tae came up behind me as I was looking at the vacant lot.

I asked.

“When will it be completed?”

“The scale of the construction is so large that it won’t take more than a year at the earliest. Is it too slow?”

“What if we use more people?”

“Injecting people indiscriminately does not necessarily make things faster. Construction will probably go faster depending on who is in charge of construction. “You should meet the replaced head once.”

Seongtae Cha called a man among the construction workers.

“Lord Moon has arrived. “Come here and say hello.”

As soon as I saw the face of the approaching man, a smile appeared on my face.

‘It’s a star, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.’

Even when I was working as Hao Wen Ju, a famous architect was approaching me with a youthful face.
