Rebirth of The Heavenly Demon (Jang Young Hun)

Temporarily shine through the clouds (3)

She hasn't said a word in a long time.

The word "new life" seemed so unfamiliar that I didn't know how to accept it.

“Don't play with me. ”

“Do I look like I'm joking? ”

Of course it can't look like that. I was looking at her more seriously than ever.

“Do you know what you're saying? ”

“I'm well aware. ”

“You don't even know me. ”

I took an envelope out of my arms and gave it to her.

After receiving the envelope, she checked what was inside. It was information about the Bachelor of Liberal Arts that Ban Seongjeong gave me.

She shakes her head and asks with a surprised face.

“How do I do this? ”

At times, her expression hardened, and her eyes became alert and suspicious.

“How did you know I was investigating him? ”

“I know a lot more than this. ”

I felt her flutter.

“Tell me. ”

But she struggled not to lose her cool. Had it not been for my previous relationship, she would have drawn the sword already.

“I'm fighting the culprits behind the control of the mob with the gul army. I know you're part of that organization. ”

“How long have you known? ”

From now on, my answer will change her and my fate.

How do I answer that?

How can I know the heart of a man and the heart of a woman?

I only know one thing.

When faced with a complex and difficult problem that is difficult to make decisions, there is one simple and difficult way to break through.

That is telling the truth. I don't think telling the truth necessarily results in the best outcome.

But it's not the best outcome, at least it doesn't mess things up. At least that's the middle decision.

Things get messy and messy when you start lying.

“Since we first met. ”

Child's expression hardens as he is stunned. So far, I think all of my relationships with him are intentional.

I still told the truth.

“I've been thinking about what to do with you. Should I kill him, or should I take him on my side? ”

“Why would you even think that? I was your enemy from the start. ”

“The enemy... doesn't feel like the enemy. ”

It was my honest heart. Seeing her reminds me of the first time I met her. A lonely figure standing under the moonlight looking at the pond. It was so impressive that it was engraved.

I am not sure if it is the result of male or female emotion or human compassion.

This time I asked her.

“Do you feel like I'm the enemy? ”

She acted in place of the answer.

Shhh.

She draws her sword and walks forward with a sword to my throat.

I remained silent as she did.

“I could kill you. ”

“I'm sorry...... but you can't. ”

Like I told her, my shaman was telling the truth.

Papa Pak.

Quickly grabbed her wrist and snapped. She gives you strength in defiance, but quickly twists the other way around.

Vyririk.

Her sword spins through the air once, and then it's in my hand. Academic background has proven to be valuable.

She looked at me in horror and said.

“You've been hiding the Unsullied. That's a hell of a job, too. ”

You couldn't have imagined you'd be taken away from the sword so easily.

“Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of dealing with you. ”

She looked at me with a complicated face. It will not be easy to decide where to trust and how to do it.

“Why are you telling me all this? ”

“Did you forget? That I wanted to hire you? I don't want to deceive you. ”

“Are you serious? ”

“Yes.”

“Why? Why me? Don't tell me you don't feel like the enemy, tell me the truth. ”

I spoke quickly, unlike her.

The answer I found in my heart was this:

“I want to. ”

What other reason could there be? I just want to.

The silence that flows again. My gaze and hers intertwined in the air.

Ask questions, answer questions, be quiet. Ask questions, answer questions, be quiet. It was as if we were walking up the stairs.

She asked again.

“If you refuse, will you kill me? ”

I shook my head without hesitation.

“No, I'll just send it back. ”

“I can go and report this. ”

“But I'm not going to kill you. ”

Huff.

With a skilled hand, I put her sword into the sword.

“Nothing will change if you refuse. ”

“Is that why you named me? ”

Her voice has been trembling ever since I met her today.

“No, it doesn't matter. It was pure of heart. ”

Her gaze flew in to see if I was telling the truth.

There was silence again. I felt like this was too long to wait for an answer. I feel like I'm on the last step.

Soon after, she opened her mouth.

“Your offer…… is acceptable. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. I'd be happy to be on your side. ”

“Thank you very much. You won't regret it. ”

“You don't know that. ”

“Hahaha.”

I laughed with joy. I was so happy that she made a slightly reminded face. She said she felt burdened.

“I'm just a regular guy called Chilho. ”

She was not ordinary. If I had, I wouldn't have noticed.

But I didn't convey the idea because I was afraid she would be burdened.

“I'm a normal person, too. Let's just stick together and destroy your organization. ”

I reached out my hand forcefully towards her.

She slowly reached out and grabbed my hand. Her hands were cold.

“Your hands are warm. ”

“Your hands are so cold. ”

“My hands are usually cold. ”

She pulls out the hand she grabbed so quickly.

“May I ask why? ”

“I liked your terms of employment. ”

Her gaze on me went up to the sky. Suddenly, the dark sky raised the moon far away.

“I wanted a new life. ”

* * *

The next morning, Im Yeon-jung was out in the field with the seven. We followed the seven lakes to take a morning walk.

“You're welcome to come back. ”

Im Yeon-jung reached out his hand and felt the wind. The clear dawn breeze refreshed the mood of the person.

Im Yeong-jung, who was looking at the dawn, said something that was buried there happily.

“You haven't forgotten, have you? That's what you said you would save me from. ”

“Of course.”

“You don't have to do that. I didn't say anything that day, but it was arrogance. I'll save someone. I won't. It's a very arrogant gesture. No one can save the world for you, right? ”

Lim Yeon-jung purposely spoke in a strong tone to give her up. And it was very realistic and convincing.

“But you don't have to feel bad about it. I know you did it with a good heart for me. ”

Child listens to her silently. Im Yeon-jung asked as if to check again.

“Will you do as I say? ”

“Yes.”

“You're not upset, are you? ”

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

Lim Yeon-jung smiled.

‘Yes, that's it. You don't have to send her to her death for nothing. ’

This was strictly his job. Either we find a way to kill the librarian, or we find a way to get out of this.

Of course, getting out won't be easy. In the previous book I received from the Bachelor, I could not assist unless I was as good as myself. You can save them if you want, but saving people who are knowledgeable about the greater law is easy.

Because it wasn't.

Of course, the organization will not allow itself to walk away from this.

‘We have to do something. ’

When he was so troubled, Chilho boldly said.

“No one lives for me...... but sometimes I have to live for someone. ”

“That's right. That's just not the time. ”

I tried to stop him once again, but the fact that he had to live for someone really meant something to him.

‘I will surely survive. To do that.... ’

After she thought about it in her mind, the content came from the mouth of the seven.

“I'm going to kill the librarian. ”

Im Yeongjeong quickly turned to Chile.

“You said you'd do as I said, right? ”

“I will. ”

“But you're going to kill a librarian? What the hell are you talking about? ”

“I'm not going to kill him for you. He's gonna kill her. ”

Chile turns his head to look at the other side. Im Yeon-jung turned her head.

There's a wallpaper walking in from afar.

Looking at that, Chilho said to her,

“I've already decided to betray the organization. ”

“It was me, wasn't it? ”

“At first.”

Obviously, the first start was due to a provisional appointment. But now it's different.

“Right now...... it's because of him. ”

* * *

“I'm going to kill the librarian. ”

Im Yeon-yeong looked at me with a surprised look.

I told Chilho that we should inform Imyeongjung about our work.

Child agreed with me. I couldn't proceed with killing the librarian without her knowing. No, killing her may have been unnecessary, but I had to tell her. I had to know who Lim was trying to protect so much.

“I will kill him before the Supreme Court begins. ”

“Don't you have to know what the big picture is? ”

“Then you will be in danger. If he dies, the next leader will come. At least he's not coming back to kill his partner. Let's find out through him what the laws are. ”

It was entirely considerate for the appointment.

Im Yeong-jung stood by me as if it were for the first time.

“How did you convince your brother here? ”

“I told you the truth. I want to be with you. ”

“How am I going to convince them? ”

“I intend to be honest with you. ”

“You're making fun of me. ”

Then she looked at him and asked him if he really fell for that.

Child didn't say anything.

“Not at all. If I had ridiculed you, none of this would have happened in the first place. ”

It was no wonder that persuasion was so much harder than the issue of Child.

It was an anonymous compromise, not a council.

Nevertheless, it was because of the seven. At the heart of this persuasion was the seven, she was.

“How can I trust you? Is there anything you want me to believe? ”

“Nothing at all. ”

I finally smiled after making a ridiculous expression.

“At least I'm honest. ”

This was the charm of Imyeon. She hasn't lost all her positivity.

“If you had told me something I could believe, I would never have believed you. ”

“That's good. There was nothing to convince. ”

When I answered her spontaneously, she looked even more relaxed.

“Why do you want to fight them? ”

She used the word "they" instead of "we." It also showed that she had left her mind in her organization.

“They're bad people. ”

“You're not going to eat their seats? ”

“Do I want money and power? ”

“You don't know anything about people. ”

“Then I'll tell you the truth. No. The reason I'm fighting them is because they're the bad guys that need to disappear from the lake. ”

Im Yeon-jung read my sincerity. I could see it on her face. But her answer was different from that.

“I can't leave the organization. ”

I had a hunch she wouldn't leave the organization. I also knew. It's not about loyalty to the organization.

She couldn't leave because of someone.

Those who are willing to lay down their lives for someone are too many people behind that organization.

“I don't think this is about leaving the organization or not. ”

“So what's the problem? ”

“Survival issues. If you don't live, the people you're trying to protect won't. ”

“But if it turns out that I betrayed the organization, I'm not the only one who's going to die. ”

“Who are you trying to protect? ”

Lim's eyes trembled.

I think.

Maybe all of this is just one step away.

To die or to live. Meeting and passing each other.

I chose the seven, and the seven accepted it. This will change all the outcomes.

The same was true of Lim Yeon-jung. Her fate will change depending on whether she chooses me or not.

It didn't matter where he was and how strong he was. He's going to die in my hands anyway. I'm going to get rid of it.

At this moment, I once again asked the most important question.

“Who is more precious than your life? ”

Im Yeon-jung looked at me. She looked at me for a long time and said Najjik.

“He's my son. ”
