Chapter 237 – Hey, I Got Kidnapped
The next morning.
I woke up in the bright sunlight. Aki was no longer there.
There is only one letter.
–
I’m going to go find my hometown. It won’t take long, so please have breakfast with the rice balls and salmon sushi I made by then!
Wow, this is the breakfast you get from Aki Maman.
Now that I think about it, there weren’t that many women who prepared meals for me.
I guess mom is the most representative? If possible, I would like to eat while looking at each other as soon as I wake up.
‘No, Aki still has some depression to deal with.’
How great would it be if you could solve your problems with just one sex?
Even a five-year-old would know that this is not a world that works.
I lay down for a moment.
I could see the ceiling. I finally saw it, and there was a landscape painting like a bamboo forest spread out on the ceiling.
“If only I could make my wish come true with a snap of my fingers, how great would it be?’
I hope Aki shakes off all her depression.
Even though she lost her parents, I hoped she would have a happy time at home.
“Sssssha.”
Then I guess I should cheer up too, right?
I started to inhale the meal Aki prepared.
Especially salmon sushi, this was the product.
‘Sushi made from freshwater fish is rare. I don’t know if it’s a form. It melts gently, very.’
I think I ate eel sushi sometimes. It was my first time eating salmon sushi.
The salmon itself was thick, and the flesh was tender.
Ah, it’s killing me, it’s killing me.
The moment you try to get up after eating the last rice ball.
“Ugh!”
The hot energy spreading in your mouth and your body temperature rising.
I checked the inside of the rice ball.
The sauce of Firesae Stir-Fried Noodles was flowing out.
I looked down at the letter again.
There was a phrase at the bottom that I didn’t notice.
–
Caution, I added something delicious to help you come to your senses!♥
I started laughing without realizing it. Anyway. In the end, I ate it all.
I washed up, changed into light clothes, and went out.
“The weather is so fucking nice.”
I lightly warmed up and thought about it.
Anyway, I also had something to worry about.
How do you help the disciples?
‘I don’t know much about this place. However, it seems like Ja-ryeong is also being targeted by someone. What should I do?’
She rested her chin and was lost in thought.
Of course, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.
Should I just keep doing it the same way?
Anyway, you can make as much money as you want.
‘It’s something you can do with money…’ Then all you have to do is get information.’
Let’s do it the old-fashioned way.
The idea was to spend as much money as possible to obtain information, and based on that information, find out if it was a Heavenly Horse or a Western White Horse and kill it.
I’d like to hear the story first, though. Because there is nothing more outrageous than the story of a villain.
‘According to what I additionally heard from Jejaryeong, he had a special relationship with Cheonma. Can a friend become an enemy? ‘So suddenly?’
The more I thought about it, the more strange it seemed. We were really close friends, but they suddenly turned dark and became enemies?
What kind of ninja cartoon is this? Even that ninja cartoon had possibilities.
‘Are there circumstances?’
I thought for a moment and shook my head. There may be circumstances where it can be made black. But I didn’t want to think about it.
Somehow I feel like a judge listening to the criminal’s circumstances.
Still, I was curious if he had a story.
‘Well, it’s just a guess.’
Plop, plod, plod.
Drome approached with his disciples.
“Brother, how are you?!”
“Lashiu, are you awake now?”
“Where are you both going?”
Drome raised her eyebrows at my question.
“Finally enjoying my warrior training!”
“Hmm? “Warrior training?”
Disciple Ryeong touched her forehead and shook her head.
“Ugh, I’m just patrolling. “Rashiu, please get some rest.”
“Oh, yes.”
She shrugged her shoulders as she watched Drome leaving with his disciple.
So now I’m alone.
‘Let’s move too.’
Went out into the street In this neighborhood, like any other city, the streets were crowded.
The merchants were busy selling their wares, and repairmen of various types went about hiding their identities.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, a shout was heard not far away.
I turned around in surprise and saw a huge dome-shaped building.
Hehe, that’s
Murimir Ligu
That’s what it means.”
“Premier League?”
“No, it’s a martial arts device.”
Did I hear wrong now? I looked at the old man who was talking to me and then looked back at the dome-shaped building.
The old man’s voice continued.
“It’s a large-scale competition where people who say they can use some effort go on stage and compete to show off their skills.”
“Oh, it looks like a couplet?”
“Yes. The audience who sees it cheers, and those who win in a life-or-death fight become stronger. “Isn’t it cool?”
“Yes, that’s cool. By the way, old man. “Is there a place here where I can buy information?”
The old man looked at me for a moment. Then the eyebrows narrowed.
“You… ?”
“Yes?”
“You speak Korean well.”
Of course I’m good at it. I was originally Korean.
Strangely enough, the language spoken here in the East was Korean. If it’s obvious, is it obvious?
“Ah, I longed for the East.”
“Is it? Hehe, he’s humble for someone from the western region!”
“So I want to look around more. “I don’t know the way, haha.”
“Then I recommend Mancheobbang.”
“Matchup room?”
“The owner there was once an elder of the Open Sect. “The information alone is amazing.”
After hearing the information about Mancheobbang from the old man, I expressed my gratitude and turned around.
After all, there has to be at least one place like that everywhere.
As I was moving away, I heard the voice of an old man.
“But what information are you trying to get? It must be expensive.”
“Any information is fine. No matter how much it costs, you have to get it.”
“Do you like our East that much?”
“… There are people you have to protect. The person asked for help. Then you should listen.”
The old man tilted his head. A person who must be protected.
Maybe the old man reacts like that because he doesn’t know our situation.
“He… Is it that important?”
“Yes, that’s why I will protect it even if it means risking my beliefs.”
“Hehe, he seems like a hero.”
“… Because he is a hero.”
I went to the place where the meeting room would be. First, I made a lot of money.
We’ve prepared it, so you can buy it right away, no matter how much it costs.
‘If it’s like this, it won’t be insufficient or something like that, right?’
You have to be nervous with money.
And it arrived.
When I arrived and looked up, I saw Beonru with all kinds of bars and restaurants lined up.
‘Is this a martial arts mall?’
Among them, the most run-down tavern was the one I was guided to by an old man.
Is this really a confectionery room?
I went in with some hesitation.
A few old men who looked like day laborers were quietly drinking.
Since he wasn’t particularly interested in alcohol, he looked around.
Soon, a Jeomsoy approached.
She was a small woman with round eyes.
“Guest, welcome! Oh, are you from the West?”
“… This is the place…”
Tub!
For a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Jeomsoi’s right hand, which looked foolish, was suddenly covering her mouth.
And behind her back, a halo of gold and silver was shining elegantly.
‘What… ?’
“The place customers are looking for is on the second floor, just by pushing one tree. Oh, excuse me! Hehe.”
Jeomsoy walks away with a shy smile. Crazy, isn’t it a joke?
I went up to the second floor and found a tree. I saw a large flower plant, so I gently moved it.
Grumble!
The place I thought was a wall was pushed back like a lie. I scratched her head and went inside.
It was a dark room with only a few lights on.
As I was walking around inside that dark room, I felt strange. I felt like I was in a place I shouldn’t have been.
‘Maybe it’s my mood?’
Wow!
Suddenly the open door closed by itself. Is this a horror movie cliché?
“Welcome.”
And the grave voice of an old man heard right before my eyes.
I swallowed dry saliva and moved on.
Soon the old man waved his hand, and the brightness of the lights on both sides of him instantly rose.
The old man’s appearance was finally revealed.
“Huh?!”
Surprisingly, the old man was the one who told me about Mancheobbang earlier.
“Elderly?”
“Hehe, are you surprised?”
“Were you an employee of Munchupbang?!”
“… At this point, don’t you understand? “I am the owner here.”
“I knew it was a joke. Haha.”
“Sit down.”
I sat down opposite the old man. In a way, it was an old cliché, but it was surprising that it was implemented as is.
The old man seen in the dark room was quite different. The clothes and expression are the same.
He felt as if he was facing a huge mountain that he could not climb.
‘It’s similar to when I first met the emperor.’
Isn’t the Open Party a fairly large beggar’s union? It would have been awesome if he was an elder there.
“What information do you need?”
“First of all, as much as possible with the money I have…”
“No.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll do it for free.”
“For free?”
The old man nodded his head solemnly.
“Protect those who must be protected. It’s easier said than done. Actually… When I was young, I tried to do something and failed.”
“Ah…”
“So I really want to help you. What information do you need?”
“There’s only one person I’m curious about: Cheonma.”
“… Heavenly Demon?!”
The old man’s eyes shook greatly. The lamp also shook so loudly that it wasn’t strange when it went out.
The old man nodded, as if he understood roughly how things worked.
His mouth, which seemed to be closed forever, opened.
“If it’s Cheonma…”
＊＊＊
He returned after obtaining information from the concubine room. For some reason, the surroundings were noisy. Has there been a winner in the Murimire Ligu?
‘Shall I participate later too? Wouldn’t it be fun if it was a full league format?’
When you are thinking nonsense.
Drome and Jejaryeong approached with pale faces.
“Brother, we’re in big trouble! Ugh…”
“A man named Akira has disappeared.”
Suddenly, news arrived like a thunderbolt. What does this mean?
“Disappearing? Suddenly?”
As Drom was getting frustrated, Jejaryeong shook his head.
“Even after completing the patrol, the person named Akira did not return, so I went to look for him. But the people who stayed at the main house said that a so-called servant of the Heavenly Demon took the shaman away.”
“A servant of the Heavenly Demon… ? Damn it!”
The worst situation ever. Aki was kidnapped. To the Heavenly Demon.
