Chapter 348 – Side Story) Molu (3)
I’m glad things worked out well. No, considering Saur Raigarg who was staring at me from the middle, I think it worked out very well…
With that in mind, after several hours of discussion, Namgung Muhyul headed back to his office and roughly waved his sweaty and damp clothes to dry them.
How did this happen?
He didn’t mean to do this in the first place.
He showed favor to Kang Han-jo, who began to stand out much faster than expected… It was probably not without a shallow greed to burden Hoa-ran behind him with debt and ease his worries about retirement, but he did his best to do it. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal since other lawmakers knew what they did and everyone took care of it themselves.
But, really, why did this happen?
I was filled with sorrow, but I couldn’t help it.
That’s right…
When he finally arrived in front of his office, he swallowed his saliva and entered, and there was his agent.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Rep. Namgoong Muhyul.”
She said that while holding her hand… She was a woman I had seen before.
She gulped and spoke at the words of Cheon Mae-hyang, one of Cheon Ma’s disciples, but a woman who was allowed to use the surname ‘Cheon’ among those disciples.
“…No. But, is this really enough?”
“Yes, Master said that was enough, so that’s it.”
She just assumed it was something she said in passing…
No, that’s what he wanted to do, but Namgung Muhyul, who slightly deviated from her original plan when Cheonma told him to cooperate by mentioning her promise, let out a sigh of relief at Cheon Maehyang’s words.
Surprisingly, she never thought that she would actually remember that promise.
And, I had no idea that the promise would be mentioned in this case.
The Heavenly Demon had one request.
The plan was to cooperate so that Cheon Mae-hyang could be sent next to Joran, who is naturally strong.
She didn’t know why she had asked for such a thing.
She didn’t know it, but in the first place, sending Cheon Mae-hyang, who was doing purification work in another area like Kang Kang-jo, to him ‘naturally’ was a request she honestly had no idea what to do with.
So, that’s how it happened.
It got a lot more complicated, and it seemed like this incident aroused some people’s suspicions…
To Kang Han-jo, through Cheon Mae-hyang’s different identity and being a member of the world government’s armed group, he somehow created a justification for naturally approaching her in the name of surveillance.
I put in a lot of effort to come up with an absurd conspiracy theory that Hoa-ran’s disciple, Kang Han-jo, might be planning something by deceiving Ho-aran… Just in case.
I did it somehow.
And instead…
“…Can I ask you one thing?”
“What… What is it?”
“Is it really true that the Heavenly Demon said that there was no need to send my child in the future?”
At those words, I saw Cheonmaehyang slightly frowning.
Perhaps, Cheonma’s disciple… It might have been something that Cheon Maehyang, the best disciple, could not understand.
I had no idea that he would think that changing this request in exchange for a promise to make his child his disciple would actually be a loss.
However, Cheon Mae-hyang soon corrected her expression and spoke.
“…If that’s the case, you definitely said so, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Is that so.”
Namgung Muhyul nodded and decided to look a little brighter.
Now, I no longer have to dream of that time and wake up in a cold sweat.
She had a nightmare where the moment she met the woman she loved and gave birth to a child, the Heavenly Demon suddenly came and took her child, saying he was really talented.
Thinking like that, I suddenly felt like my head was itching.
“Please tell Heavenly Demon that I am truly sorry for not being able to properly keep my promise.”
“I knew. Then.”
Just like last time, when the business was over, Cheonmae-hyang quickly left.
After a while, Namgung Muhyul sighed, opened the drawer, and took out the paper inside.
“…Let’s retire now.”
Also, let’s buy a wig and do some wedding activities.
I really wouldn’t be able to live my life if I continued this job, so I just wanted to retire quickly and live happily.
Of course, even if I decided to retire, I knew it wouldn’t happen right away.
When a seat becomes empty, a new seat must be filled…
Just like his predecessor did to him, how shitty it is to be a human council member… Who doesn’t really know the truth… He needs to find a victim who seems vague and gullible.
But, first of all… There was one person who I had secretly chosen as the right person.
-Yes, I received a call. Rep. Namgoong Muhyul.
“Ah, Miss Han Yujin. Last time, I had a lot of trouble. Thanks to you, things turned out well. “Anyway, I have something I would like to suggest to Ms. Han Yujin…”
“Kaaaaah!”
Along with the screams, a loud, tearing sound was heard.
Crunch, crunch.
The sound of something pouring.
Moreover, the sound did not come from only one place.
A mixture of moans of pain and despair, and the nonsense of those who had already gone crazy could be heard from all around them.
Even though there was a woman dying with her stomach bursting right next to me, there were a lot of crazy people muttering nonsense and hugging their swollen bellies, even though they knew that one day I too would meet the same fate.
And, in a place full of such sounds… In the center, they crawled and crawled.
They were born by tearing the belly of their mother, who had embraced them just a little while ago.
In the world government, artificial life forms named homunculi were busy moving around.
Some ate their mothers, some gave birth to homunculi and attacked the still-breathing woman’s body, and some gathered in one place.
And… In that horrible place, another noise mingled.
Again and again.
Soon, a woman with a disgusting face… With pure white skin without any blood appeared from the darkness.
“What is it, is it still too far? “I think there are already tens of thousands of them.”
A woman grumbles, asking why I have to come here…
At Laura’s voice, the homunculi that were feeding on the dead woman suddenly stopped writhing.
And.
“I, my secret wish…”
Among the homunculi, he stood up.
“I will bring about the pinnacle and completion of all living things.”
No, not between the homunculi… He stood up as the homunculi merged with each other.
“Hmm, you really came back to life?”
“…It’s not that they were brought back to life. “I have never experienced death…”
“What are you saying? He died without leaving a trace. Anyway, so… What on earth did you do to me?”
Laura asked that while looking at the resurrected Berglaogre.
His hideout, which had been set up between dimensions, collapsed with a death he claimed he had never experienced, so he had no idea what had happened.
There was no way to find out since it had already disappeared along with the collapsed dimension.
However, Berglaogr was revived.
Laura, the only homunculus she had taken away that was like a part of him… As a result of breeding her so hard, he was brought back to life as he had said before.
Although it was a bit unclear whether this could be said to have been revived.
Berglaogr, who claimed to have once been human, was a being who created himself as one and many creatures.
Each and every creature that the world government called a homunculus was his cell, his brain, and himself.
Although each creature was unique, they were all creatures that could be recreated into the same being.
So, Laura asked, but Berglaorg answered.
“…Unfortunately, I don’t have that memory.”
He spoke with the homunculi still dawdling and creating new bodies.
“I remember what happened, but it seems like I’m not here. “It seems like I disappeared without even being able to escape from that place.”
“Really, really. “It’s like a useless tentacle monster.”
As I stabbed the vergraogle with the tip of the parasol I was spinning, the tangled homunculi started screaming and shaking wildly.
“Then that’s it, can we proceed with the plan as planned?”
“–I guess it’s impossible. First of all, the number of children is too small… More mothers are needed. More children… Mothers who will give birth to me… Now, the number of mothers is small, but the quality is also poor. “We need a little more health… And an excellent mother body.”
“Thanks to someone, I thought it would be difficult to collect this and I would die?”
“So,” Said Laura, who crushed the homunculus at her feet to death.
“If you look at me like that, I won’t end up with just this one next time, so keep that in mind.”
“…”
Laura opened her mouth, looking at Berg Laogre, who was looking at Laura, who was squishing and pressing down with her hoof, crushing her bugs to death.
As the homunculi gathered around her, Laura’s tears also glowed red.
“You said you understand, don’t you answer?”
Berg Laogre, who had been looking at Laura for a while, waved his hand, and the homunculi that had gathered began to retreat again.
“…I get it. Remember, don’t do it.”
“Okay, well… Let’s leave the main issue above for now. All you have to do is look at those idiots and tell them to give birth themselves. I’ll probably accept your tentacle dick with my body if it’s for revenge on the centipede. Anyway, so make sure you recover properly and then do a good job. And, instead of going out and dying again like last time, hide properly this time.”
Berg Laogre, who had been watching Laura leave without saying those words, raised his hand.
Rather than a hand, it still had the shape of a wriggling homunculus… But soon it changed into fingers like dried out twigs.
“First… It would be good to retrieve the memories first.”
There was something I didn’t reveal to Laura.
In the first place, he never trusted Laura or those behind him.
In addition to the place prepared as a hiding place, they had already hidden themselves in several places.
Some of them probably know more than I do now.
And among them, obviously…
Although he did not have any memories of the incident that would have caused him to open his eyes again, the ‘self’ with those memories definitely existed.
Especially… I had high expectations for myself, who could be felt in places other than the things I had hidden.
Looking at the energy I could feel, it was clear that ‘myself’ was still young and had only a small number of people, but at least unlike my ‘self’ here, it ‘remembered’ what happened to me before.
And then you will know.
It was tingly, and even though I didn’t have any ‘memory’, I knew because in the end, we were the same ‘self’.
‘I’, who had already disappeared, saw something at the end and disappeared in joy.
Even though I don’t have any memories, I know that since everyone was one in the end, I sympathized with the ‘self’ who felt intense joy… Which at the time was made up of the largest number of ‘selves’… It could be said to be the main body.
Even if he wasn’t completely dead… There was only one reason to rejoice even though most of him was disappearing.
“This time, I will definitely… Make my wish come true.”
Berg Lag Or muttered as he watched the homunculus turn on its empty eyelids and turn into his own eyeballs.
