Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 52. I can’t stand the discomfort in my back (2)

“Ugh… I’m dying.”

Wei Hongryeon’s face, with both cheeks sunken, was quite a sight to see.

Although much of the internal and external injuries had been treated, there were still bandages wrapped around the body. But the reason her face was so damaged was not because of wounds that had not yet healed.

Wei Hongryun glanced to the side.

Seo-ryang was sitting lazily with his arms crossed, looking relaxed, while Ma Dong-pil had his eyes closed and was giving off a characteristic blunt atmosphere.

A look of boredom appeared on Wei Hongryun’s face.

“Are you having a hard time, Confucius?”

“Ugh! what.”

“Interrogation.”

“What’s so difficult about that? “All you have to do is give simple answers to the questions asked.”

“Yes. “The problem is that the same questions are asked hundreds of times.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

Sprinkler is a symbol of patience. Until his martial arts skills were completed to some extent, his life was lived solely with patience.

Of course, this level of interrogation is nothing. There was a time when I waited for my target in the same position for ten days, drinking only water, but I was only interrogated for three days.

“Well, Confucius, even so.”

Wei Hongryeon’s expression became sour.

“Why are you so relaxed? are you all right?”

Ma Dong-pil opened his eyes.

There is not even the slightest sign of fatigue. Unlike Seo-ryang, there was no sign of bloodshot eyes even though he had not slept for three days.

“It’s bearable enough.”

“Wow, that’s bearable?”

“Staying up for three days and nights to protect the object of your guard is not an easy task. “There’s nothing I can’t endure, especially when it’s an interrogation where safety is guaranteed.”

Assassin and guard are completely opposite professions.

However, if there is one thing in common between the two, it is that they must cultivate extreme patience and tension.

The assassin must strive to penetrate the guard warrior and harm the target, and the guard warrior must strive to prepare for the assassin’s blade, which may come from nowhere.

Seo-ryang was a man called the king of the world of assassins, and Ma Dong-pil was also a guard warrior with outstanding talent. The three-day interrogation was more of a rest for the two people, with a bit of exaggeration.

Wei Honglian shook his head.

“I really don’t understand.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“The guys in the room next to us won’t understand.”

“Giggle.”

Wei Hongryun raised her thumb. Just a moment ago, he looked like he was about to die, but now he was full of joy.

“Anyway, you were amazing.”

“what.”

“You properly sent them away, no, Sagong and Song Gyeong, right in front of the guy who was pretending to be a camouflage or something. “I felt refreshed inside.”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes.

“Is that a problem now? “Because of you, you made something that could have been properly decorated needlessly look bulky.”

“But thanks to that, you got a real kick out of it, right?”

“I was lucky.”

“I don’t think it’s just luck, do you? “At that time, I saw that Confucius was very talkative.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes became cold.

“In the presence of the Three Dukes. “Be careful what you say.”

“Okay, you boring bastard.”

Wi Hong-ryeon, who had chewed Ma Dong-pil in a refreshing manner, turned his head to Seo-ryang again.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“That’s not something you would call a horse’s foot. “It was possible for me to push forward because I was the third gongja.”

“But the results were good, right?”

“That’s right.”

“What do you think will happen in the future?”

“I don’t know.”

Ma Dong-pil also looked at Seoryang as if he was curious.

Seo-ryang, who seemed to be deep in thought, soon scratched his head.

“I’m not sure.”

“yes? why?”

“Why? Am I some kind of fortune teller? “How can we know what will happen next?”

“You seem to know everything, but why?”

“I know damn well.”

Xu Liang drank the water placed on the table. The water was so cold it felt like it was freezing from my throat to my stomach.

“I just tried my best to create the situation I wanted. “If I had known the future, I would have known that you would act like that.”

“That’s right.”

“Just for fun, if I were to make a prediction…”

Seo-ryang stroked his chin. His chin was quite rough due to the beard that had not been shaved for three days.

“That Hong Wi-moon guy will return home after being interrogated.”

The two people nodded in agreement. The difference was that, unlike the expressionless Ma Dong-pil, Wei Hong-ryeon’s face was distorted like a ghost.

“As long as you don’t commit treason or similar offenses, you won’t be able to easily touch the disciples even in the penal court.”

“I guess so.”

Seo-ryang thought it was because of the imaginary power given by social status, but Ma Dong-pil and Wi Hong-ryeon did not think so.

The cult leader’s disciples did not have much power, and everyone in the school was aware of this. This is because they only have a high status and no position.

However, the reason why the disciples are rarely accused of sin is simply because they were chosen by God. Unlike ordinary demons, they were beings that were somewhat outside the bounds of the law.

At least that’s how it seemed on the outside.

“From what I’ve seen, Hong Yu-moon is not someone who will forget his grudge. He’s a guy who knows how to use his brain quite well, but he has no patience for things like that. What’s more, you suffered from me one after another. “If I go back this time, I will make up my mind and draw my sword in the near future.”

Wei Hongryeon stuck out her tongue.

“Are you saying you didn’t mean to do it before?”

“I decided to do it. However, at that time, the offensive will come with all our might.”

“Do you really want to end it like that?”

“Then you won’t do it? “Following the Gasols of Hwanhee Wonju, I was also humiliated in front of the deputy head of the Penal Court.”

“….”

“Now is not the time for him to weigh the odds. “You couldn’t just look at the people around you before getting angry, right?”

Ma Dong-pil, who had never thought deeply about such relational aspects, looked like he had no idea.

However, Wei Honglian agreed with Xu Liang’s words.

“Gaze is important.”

If you always worry about how others see you, your life will become exhausted.

However, for those who dream of power, nothing is more important than face. If he doesn’t show something this time, Hong Yuwen will definitely fall out of power.

“What did the vice owner of the criminal court say his name was Geum?”

“Geumseongju?”

“Yes, Geumseongju. He has nothing to worry about. “The criminal justice department will take care of it.”

“Even if that’s not the case, I don’t think there’s any need to worry about him since he’s just a side guy.”

“That’s right, I saw it well.”

“Then only boatmen have to be on guard?”

“That’s right…”

Xu Liang stopped speaking and looked at Wei Honglian.

Wei Hongryun’s expression became depressed.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“What about you?”

“What?”

“You’re not going to keep sticking around with us, are you?”

“…yes?”

“You’re done with your work, right? “I would have caught Song Kyung, and I would have given the fourth a punch.”

“…!”

“The money I received will also be buried. “If Hong Wi-moon isn’t an idiot, there’s no way he’d add one more petty crime while he’s on the defensive, right?”

Xiliang scratched his head.

“I think our training ends here?”

“….”

“The company dinner lasts for five days? “Isn’t it over today?”

“That’s true.”

Xi Liang pulled the ceiling string.

After a while, the door opened and a criminal court member came in.

“Did you call me, Prince Samgong?”

“Couldn’t it be okay to just let the Great Lord over here go?”

“yes?”

“This is a one-sided victim. “The interrogation is over. Would you mind if I let you go without making you tired?”

“Oh, that’s…”

“Besides, Gwangmadae’s company dinner is over as of today. “I’ll have to run to the scene again starting tomorrow, so are you going to keep someone who isn’t even a suspect here and use it?”

“….”

“Please tell me something above. Let’s send this friend away. If there is anything to be investigated further, you can summon me then, right? Besides, I and the three leaders of the Protectorate will still remain.”

The penal court member, deep in thought, lowered his head.

“I will report it to the higher-ups. It won’t be long before you get your answer. Please wait a moment.”

“Oh, please help me.”

As the party member left, there was a subtle silence in the room.

The reason is unknown, but Ma Dong-pil, who felt the air becoming thicker and was looking at Seoryang for no reason, decided that the air had not changed because of Seoryang. Because his expression was too relaxed for that to be considered that way.

‘then…?’

Ma Dong-pil looked back at Wei Hong-ryeon.

‘…’

Wei Hongryun’s face was expressionless. He didn’t seem particularly angry, nor did he seem happy.

‘Why are you doing that?’

When Ma Dong-pil inwardly tilts his head.

“I can’t live because I feel bad if I don’t wipe after pooping.”

“What do you mean?”

“If we started together, we should finish together. “Are you going to use it only if I’m completely obsessed with it?”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“The beginning was the same, but each person’s purpose was different. “Your fight is over, but my fight is still ongoing, right?”

“….”

“Don’t be so foolish and leave when you are told. “There’s no need to be tied up here tired.”

A strange silence came again.

This time, Seoryang must have felt uncomfortable, too, so he glanced at Wei Hongryeon. She was still staring at him with indecipherable eyes.

“why? “Do you have anything else to say?”

“…Not really.”

“What a bland guy.”

At that time, a party member opened the door and came in. It was much faster than expected.

“Permission was given from above. Gwangma Daeju Wei Hongryeon can be released from prison.”

As soon as those words were finished, Wei Hongryun got up and walked to the door.

But instead of leaving right away, she stopped in front of the door. She stood there for a moment and seemed to be thinking about something, then turned around.

“I got beat up quite a bit, but it was fun thanks to the Three Princes.”

Xu Liang waved his hand.

“Thanks to you, I too have become more confident for the first time in a while. “It was a good experience.”

“Then please take care of yourself.”

“Take care of yourself too. “I’ll train hard so I don’t get hit again.”

Wei Hongryun bowed her head and left the room.

Ma Dong-pil cleared his throat.

“For some reason, the Great Lord doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.”

“Did you feel that way too?”

“yes. “He seemed very sad about something.”

“What is there to be so sad about?”

“….”

“…Did I make him feel sad?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not good either…”

Seo-ryang grumbled.

“Well, if you’re sad, you’re just sad. I wonder if there’s a need for me to worry about that.”

“That’s true.”

“Okay, let’s rest. Close your eyes too. “I haven’t slept a wink in three days.”

Ma Dong-pil’s expression became awkward.

“Actually, I can’t sleep.”

“okay? That’s strange. “Where does it hurt?”

The really strange thing was Seoryang.

What kind of person in the world would sit comfortably in the penal court? It was natural that it would be difficult for anyone to fall asleep unless they were someone with quite strong nerves.

“Anyway, how is Geumho doing? “After all, cherry blossoms are so pretty.”

“I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

“I guess so.”

I hope the two of you spend some time talking about various things.

Shake!

The door opened and someone came in from there.

Surprisingly, the person who entered the room was Chil Camouflage.

“I meet you, Prince Samgongja.”

“It’s been a while.”

“There is someone who wants to see Confucius. Do you want to go?”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“Who wants to see me? Who is it?”

“He is the head of the parish.”

“…!”

“And Sangongja is already moving there.”

Ma Dong-pil looked at Seo-ryang in surprise.

Seo-ryang stood up with a grin.

“Dongpil, you too, go back to your place.”
