Poongwoon Moorimjeon 115

Chapter 115 – Chapter 23 (5)

Inside a man-made cave.

“Clear.”
“There is nothing wrong with this one either.”
“No problem.”

Dozens of men in uniforms were rummaging through over a hundred corpses one by one, checking something.

“Damn it. What’s the trouble with the collection team bringing a live guy?”
“So. These bastards, it’s clear that they work outside after playing to their heart’s content.”

They belonged to the same organization as those captured by Jincheon.

Due to the fact that among the corpses brought by the collection team, a warrior with severe injuries that looked like a corpse escaped, they are digging through the corpses and looking for survivors.

“I envy those who tracked down the fugitives. I should have forced myself to apply.”
“How many people do you think we’ll send to dispose of half-corpses that seem like they’ll die if we touch them? Sending two is a lot.”
“They don’t have to do these chores. I bet those two will be back when this is over?”
“Tsk. That’s right.”

Those who cleaned up the corpse were envious of the two who were selected to track down a warrior who was weak enough to kill children.

“By the way, when the heck do you get hired?”
“I heard from above what to do with that problem. I’ll have to wait and see.”

Those who were cleaning the bodies muttered that they would normally have no problem, but that they would like to quickly solve the chronic problem of manpower shortages in the event of an unexpected situation like this.

“Hey! Stop chatting and check it out quickly! If you don’t want to spend the night with corpses!”

When the work was slower than expected, the person who seemed to be the manager raised his voice and asked them to check the bodies.

I just want to stab each corpse with a knife and check it, but if I do more than necessary damage, I have to suffer more from above, so I had to do the cumbersome task of checking the pulse and state of each one.

The moment I was busy checking to see if there were any other survivors among the corpses,

“How is everyone?”
“!?”
“!!”

Suddenly, from the entrance of the cave, the voice of a young man he had never heard before was heard, and everyone was startled.

“You… Who are you guys!?”

All eyes turned toward the entrance, where they could see a young man and two women.

You might think that I did something very rash and stupid because I didn’t put a guard at the entrance of the cave, but there are 6 guards nearby who are in charge of excluding those who approach the entrance of the cave, so I didn’t put up a guard.

That’s why I can’t help but react to the arrival of these young men and women without a fuss.

“Hey~ Everyone has put a lot of effort into it~ I heard that the experiment that was mistaken for a corpse escaped?”
“Uh huh?”

The caretakers of the corpses in this cave were taken aback by the sight of a man talking casually about stories he did not know otherwise.

It was definitely the first time I saw this face, but I didn’t feel any hostility, and I didn’t know how to react to the relaxed smile.

“You haven’t introduced me. My name is Jincheon. Just in case you don’t know, to make it clear in advance, let’s say I’m from Pacheonhoe.”

Those words were the decisive blow.

All members of the organization are subject to a ban on their heads exploding if they recklessly raise the name Pacheonhoe due to loneliness.

Nevertheless, the manager had no choice but to let go of his guard at the sight of Jincheon saying the name of the organization casually.

“That’s right! But I’ve never heard of the name Jincheon…”
“Well, understand. I’m not officially in the meeting. It’s my job to make sure the meeting’s secrecy is well maintained through surprise visits like this. It’s normal if you don’t know my name.”

Jincheon pointed towards the forest with his finger and opened his mouth again.

“I came here with an order to keep quiet to the guards guarding the cave. Don’t interrogate the guards. Originally, this kind of thing can only be seen when approached in an unexpected situation.”

At first, she was a manager who wondered if there was such a thing, but Jincheon was so natural and the women behind her checked as if they were staring at their every move, and she was unknowingly drawn into it.

Besides, she was not the one who could know everything about the Pacheonhoe, and she had no choice but to clear the doubts about the fact that she even knew that the Pacheonhoe was a branch organization, and that she even used the name of the Pacheonhoe.

“By the way, the guys who were chasing the samurai who were mistaken for a corpse had already finished their work and were idling around, so I gave them a bit of a scolding. They’ll probably be back with the corpse in the morning.”

Jincheon deliberately spread his momentum there and spoke moderately intimidatingly.

‘I… Even though you’re young, you’re like this… ! After all, the meeting person is right!’

The caretaker became even more suspicious of Jincheon, who spreads the momentum that overwhelms her despite her young age, but Jincheon drives a wedge there.

“By the way, at this number, I’m looking forward to making it with Jiangshi.”

Information you would never know unless you belong to the Pacheonhoe.
The manager, who completely cleared his doubts about making Jiangshi, lowered his head.

“I’m really sorry. I never thought I’d make such a mistake in the collection tank…!”
“Ah, I do not intend to rebuke you on this matter. You may make mistakes in your work.”

Jincheon waved her hand at the janitor for granted, showing a generous boss.

“It’s important to prevent mistakes, but it’s also important to deal with them quickly when they do happen. Those two were lazy after solving the problem, but they solved the problem quickly, so that’s worthy of praise.”
“Go, thank you.”
“I got to this place thanks to my talent, but I’m actually a person who started from the bottom like you. I’ll solve the problem later.”

After saying that, Jincheon lightly tossed his pocket of money to the manager.

“I-can I get this much!?”
“I told you. I’m the one who started from the bottom. I’ve been through your hardships too.”

Thanks to the manager’s reaction when he checked the money bag and the fact that he didn’t get scolded even though the injured person, who they thought was a corpse, escaped, the members of the Pacheon Association developed a good feeling for Jincheon.

“I don’t want to bother you, but first I need to make sure that the number of people I know and this place match. Would you mind stopping what you’re doing and calling everyone?”
“Yes, yes!”

The manager hurriedly called all the gang members in the cave.

The cave was soon filled with members of the Pacheonhoe, and Jincheon asked the manager while checking their appearance.

“Are we really all here?”
“Yes, everyone is gathered except for the two sent to the chase and the six guards.”
“Hmm, that’s very strange.”
“Yes?”

In an instant, Jincheon smiled viciously and lifted his feet up to waist level.

“As far as I know, there should be zero people in this place.”

Quad de de de de de de deuc!!
Pupper pup pup pup pup!!

“Keah!”
“Oops!”
“Heuk!”

When he powerfully stamped his foot down, numerous stone pillars fanned out from Jincheon’s feet, stabbing and killing members of the Pacheon meeting.

“What is this…!”

The manager, who was near Jincheon and was out of range of the Sihyeolbo, hurriedly pulled out his weapon, but

Snug! Seok!

While Seo Yu-ran and Cheon Hye-woon attacked, they attacked the manager’s gaps in defense and cut them to pieces at once.

“You bastard. If you’re seeing someone for the first time, you should have said the password first. Anyway, these bastards who haven’t been to the military are a problem.”

That line was the last thing the manager heard in this world.

“Look. It’s such a simple and comfortable solution. If they ambush at the narrow cave entrance, they would have destroyed or damaged all the important things, right?”

After calmly dealing with her guards, Jincheon showed off her pride toward Seo Yu-ran, who proposed a surprise attack, but she had other questions.

“…But how do you know Pacheonhoe or Jiangshi?”

At first glance, that caretaker looks stupid.

However, it is even more strange to think that a person who knows everything about the name of an organization that is not even known to others and the secret plan to create Jiangshi is someone who has nothing to do with Pacheonhoe.

Seo Yu-ran pointed out that part, but Jin-cheon answered simply and casually.

“Did I mention that I lost my memory in the past? Anyway, memories from the past sometimes come to mind, and words about Pacheonhoe and Jiangshi come to mind.”

Naturally, this is an improvised setup.

‘If the forces of darkness collect corpses, what else is there besides Jiangshi? If you read dozens of martial arts novels, this is common sense. Common sense.’

Because I can’t say

“Then you mean you had a relationship with an organization called Pacheonhoe.”

In other words, it means that if you regain your memory, there is a possibility that you can return to the organization called Pacheonhoe, which does an act of wrath by making Jiangshi.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t know what kind of relationship I had with the Pacheonhoe before I lost my memory. The present is more important to me than the past. Hey?”

Since Jincheon was an impromptu setting anyway, it gave off an atmosphere that he did not want to talk painfully about this with Seo Yu-ran.

“…”

Seo Yu-ran feels something is wrong, but she still has no evidence or physical evidence to pinpoint the sense of incongruity, so she decides to pass it on for now.

“By the way, it’s a relief. I didn’t spend enough to deal with these scum.”
“Sometimes you say strange things.”
“Sometimes I don’t even know what the upper class is talking about.”

The two women grumbled at Jincheon, who said strange things only he knew, but he smiled and headed inside the cave.

‘Come to think of it…’

In the past, he had fought unidentified enemies who used Jiangshi.

At that time, I thought it was the Demonic Cult, but when I thought about it, the attackers did not feel the violent demonic spirit unique to the Demonic Cult.

‘Could they be the Pacheonhoe?’

Judging that if they were Pacheonhoe, there would be something meaningful in attacking the herb village that had a cooperative relationship with Medicine King Moon, Seo Yu-ran began to roll her head.

Anyway, Jincheon, who was checking inside the cave, frowned at her while checking some documents.

“Damn it. It’s just a report on the facilities here. There’s no information on where the bodies are being moved or where the bodies are being collected elsewhere.”

I wondered if I would be lucky enough to get information about other areas, but I don’t think I’m stupid that far.

Instead, the only incidental income was finding a collection of martial arts books that the corpses had.

“Sheesh. If we can find information about the Pacheonhoe in other regions, we can dig them up one by one and expose them publicly.”
“Certainly, this only proves that there is a force that wants to collect corpses and create Jiangshi, but there is no data to prove the dark force called Pacheonhoe.”

Cheon Hye-un also frowned at her as she read the reports of the body being treated as a resource.

“Let’s keep these reports, just in case. We’ll need the power of the organization to locate these guys.”
“Anyone from Anhui can help.”
“…”

At that time, when the word ‘Namgoong family’ came out of Cheon Hye-woon’s mouth, Jin-cheon’s expression slightly distorted.

“Why is that?”
“No, there is a grand duke of the Namgung family that I saw.”
“Are you Sanghyun Namgung?”
“Uh, a guy with a rough name like that. From what I remember, he’s a new concept guy. I’m worried that the Namgung family might be a group of similar idiots.”

Namgung Sang-hyeon stubbornly denied the existence of the dark forces that controlled Moorim based on pride, not rational judgment and doubt.

“But individuals are individuals and groups are groups…”
“Originally, children’s values ​​are determined by their surroundings. In other words, there are a lot of idiots in the Namgung family, so there is a very, very high probability that he will become such a tomboy.”

Jincheon used ‘very’ three times before Cheon Hye-un’s words to defend the Namgung family were expressed as if they were a group of idiots.

“The Namgung family is one of the pillars that have supported the political faction for a long time.

He is one of the five great generations, and if you are a warrior who uses a sword, you can only revere the Namgung family.

To that extent, the Namgung family was called the head family of swords, and even Seo Yu-ran, who had the nickname of Sword Hu, respected the Namgung family.

However, when the Namgung family is transformed into a gathering place for idiots, of course there is a backlash.

“Hmph, past fame is meaningless. The important thing is the present.”

Jincheon was still convinced that the Namgung family was a narrow-minded group that always appeared in martial arts, and was more cancer-inducing than Sapa and enemy forces.

“Anyway, you need these evidences to start a conversation, so take care of them.”

It would be meaningless to say yes or no here, so I decided to pack up the report and leave for the Namgung family.

Lastly, Jincheon checked the martial arts books, hoping that there might be something useful, but all of them were useless.

‘Still, these guys, since I knew that the corpse’s items were collected separately, if I attacked another facility, I’d come up with at least one useful martial art book, right?’

Thinking so, Jincheon threw away the books he had checked at random.

“Above.”
“Hmm?”
“When you leave, why don’t you at least give rest to the dead here?”

Cheon Hye-woon insisted that at least cremation should be done rather than leaving the countless corpses here.

Jincheon warned that it didn’t matter if he died anyway, whether he was buried in the ground, cremated, or turned into animal food, but he couldn’t refuse Cheon Hye-woon’s request.

Because this is also her personality and heart.

“Then we’ll have to cut down a bunch of trees. I don’t think it’ll be enough to burn everyone here.”
“Let me help too.”

Seo Yu-ran also decided to help out because it was goodwill for the dead.

“Hmm~ I finally became a good kid.”
“I’m not young enough to be called a kid by you guys!”
“Because when she’s my girl, she’s me or whatever.”
“Joy!”

She snorted at her as if she wasn’t even worthy of an answer and began chopping down her tree with a steel-clad sword outside her cave.

‘By the way, these guys weren’t prepared for an unexpected attack at all.’

Until now, even though they had secretly attacked as a dark power, they had never been attacked, so the members of the Pacheonhoe, as well as the executives, fell for Jincheon’s smoke.

‘It must be simpler than I thought to destroy Pacheonhoe?’

Jincheon looked down on Pacheonhoe, but if he had known more about Poongwoon Moorim’s system, he wouldn’t have thought this way.

Originally, in the game that is the basis of this world, there was a learning system to prevent multiple players from memorizing the conspiracy of Pacheonhoe or easily destroying the conspiracy while acquiring knowledge through strategy books.

In other words, Pacheonhoe is designed to get information from there if their conspiracy is blocked, and to carry out the conspiracy more severely and supplementing its weaknesses.

It’s like this in games, but now that it’s a reality, it’s going to be even worse.

Jincheon, unaware of this fact, started chopping firewood for the dead, thinking of using this technique more in the future.

*        *

“…Anhui, the corpse recovery team number 2 has been wiped out. The collection team is fine. Was the base attacked?

Deep inside the headquarters of the Pacheonhoe, which manages solitude.

In the place where the solitudes are managed, a sharp-looking writer who confirmed that the males and the psychically connected female solitudes were writhing in pain muttered softly with an expressionless face.

“Send an investigation team. Then, check what happened and come back.”

Hiss-

The sound of wind escaping came from somewhere in the monk’s voice.

Hiss-

Afterwards, the sound of the wind was heard again, and someone from the ceiling opened their mouth.

“Sir, I have brought a report from the Heavenly Demon Sword Tracker.”
“Let me speak.”
“The Heavenly Demon Sword was robbed by a group of thieves, and it is said that it was their captain who killed Gu Seo-chan.”
“It’s strange. Gu Seo-chan was at the top of the peak. Did he get hit by a bunch of bandits?”
“As a result of tracking down and torturing all the thieves, it is said that the man who was their leader used archery like a ghost. In addition, they confessed a common testimony that they stole for a while because they needed money. Judging from his actions, he seems to be from the Sapa side.”

The munsa received the words straight away without the slightest hesitation.

“Seeing how quiet he is, it seems like he doesn’t even know the value of the Heavenly Demon Sword. Or he knew too well to hide it. Either way, it’s not a good situation for us. Find him based on their testimony. He may die or live for ruining my plan. Make it impossible.”
“Johnny.”

Hiss-

The sound of wind blowing again was heard and the presence completely disappeared.

‘It’s strange. Most of the planned events are failing.’

The man felt offended that something invisible was interfering with the meeting.
The identity of that something is still unknown, but it was definitely not a good flow.

‘And for some reason, I’m feeling ominous these days.’

It’s not realistic, and there’s no clear evidence.
Even so, his heart is pounding and he is constantly spewing out ominous feelings.

He didn’t know why he felt this ominous, but what he had to do now was to find out information about the failed mission and make up for the gaps in the organization, so he decided to focus on that.

‘As time goes on, a unit made up of orphans gathered from the society will be completed.’

A unit that is like a weapon that has been brainwashed since childhood, eliminates reason, and only faithfully fulfills orders.

In addition, the society selected talented and loyal people and trained them separately, nurturing those who would become their leaders.

There is nothing urgent.
Until they are completed, you just have to take your time and slowly remove the power of the Righteous Sect, the Sect, and the Demonic Cult.

‘Okay, that’s fine.’

He quelled the ominousness rising up in his heart and repeated it among the Murim people, replanning a method of subtracting their strength.
