The sun sets and rises again.

About two days have passed since the day when people came in from the self-examination room as Yoo Ki-yeon’s caregiver and Dang Yu-ri revealed her identity.

I kept a close eye on it in case there was any major movement within the next two days, but unfortunately, the self-inspection document did not show any special movement.

“That’s too bad.”

“What is it that you regret?”

“Self-examination, I did it on purpose.”

“Huh?”

Mo Yongseol opens his eyes wide in surprise.

“You said you brought it in on purpose…isn’t that meaningful?”

“Of course it’s meaningful. The place called Jageommun is a bit special.”

What is there to hide?

“Self-examination, a branch of the Demonic Cult.”

“……Huh?”

The Self-Inspection Gate is a branch of the Demonic Cult.

“To be exact, you could say that they are spies planted all over the Central Plains by the Demonic Cult. On the outside, they look like the righteous faction, but in reality, they are foolish people who shout ‘Long live the Heavenly Demon and May the Heavenly Demon be blessed.’”

“Uh, uh uh….”

“I deliberately kept quiet so as not to tell Mo Yong So-jeo uncomfortable stories. To be honest, I was watching to see what tricks she was trying to pull when we already knew.”

I pointed to the side.

“Not even knowing that one of those spies had betrayed him.”

“Ahaha.”

Dang Yu-ri, the nurse of Yu Gi-yeon, dressed like a pharmacist, smiled awkwardly.

“Betrayal? I never thought we were on the same side in the first place.”

“Oh, that’s….”

“I’m sorry, my lady. Their actions are so shameful, and it’s frustrating to see them hesitate, so I decided to make the first move.”

“Then…uh, is the vasovagal syncope a lie…?”

“No. The schizoaffective disorder was real. It’s just that the ‘sect with the schizoaffective woman’ was one of the underlings of the Demonic Cult.”

In fact, there were quite a few sects that were spies of the Demonic Cult or had joined hands with the Demonic Cult nearby, but Jageommun was the only one that had patients with pulseless veins.

“Then why did you bring it in…?”

“They say they are looking into how the demon cult members will respond to this situation.”

Squeak.

The door opened, and a new guest entered the pharmacy.

“Uncle!”

“Yeah, Seol-ah. We’re in the same manor, so it feels like it’s been a while since we last met.”

The additional residence of the Murong family, Murong Mountain.

He entered the third floor of the medical building.

“First of all, let me apologize. Without you knowing, Mo Yong-se was responding to the self-inspection on his own, but now it seems like we should take the initiative, so I would like to ask for your understanding in advance.”

“Do you understand?”

“Yeah. As Representative Seok said….”

“Sorry, Lord Bugar. I didn’t mention it separately.”

“Oh, really?”

Mo Yong-san scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression.

“To put it as simply as possible, our Sega escorts were doing their job so well that they couldn’t move.”

“…Huh?”

“There needs to be an opening for a trick to happen, but they can’t find an opening, so they can’t move.”

Mo Yong-san lamented as if he was truly astonished.

“The status of the Demonic Cult has fallen to the ground. Of course, the average warriors of our Moryong Sega family are all quite great, but even though we brought in a demon wearing the mask of a Jeongpa person and his daughter, they are not moving.”

“… Are you saying that you brought in those people knowingly, right under the congressman?”

Murong Xue glared at Murong Shan with a cold expression.

“That’s dangerous…!”

“It’s not dangerous.”

Mo Yongsan pointed outside the window, at the blue sword hanging on the window like laundry.

“Your brother, that is, your father, has always been watching over this place, hasn’t he?”

“Ah.”

“Of course, they don’t know that their brother is watching them in real time. But regardless of not knowing, I want them to move slowly, but they don’t move at all.”

Mo Yongsan turned his gaze towards me.

“So I think we need to create a crisis, even if it’s on purpose. If we don’t give them a chance, they’ll just sit there and act like patients.”

“…….”

“Please, nephew-in-law.”

He said he was my nephew-in-law.

“My Lord. As a member of the Murong family, I will make a choice that will help Murong. If that is the way, I will follow.”

“Yeah. In that sense….”

Mo Yongsan’s gaze turned to Dang Yuri, the woman who had been keeping her mouth shut and just observing him.

“Hey, Dokma’s disciple.”

“Excuse me, are you talking about me?”

“Yeah. You. This is just my guess.”

Mo Yongsan looked at Dang Yuri and me alternately.

“You came here to betray the Demonic Cult and stick with my nephew-in-law, right?”

“I’m to Representative Seok?”

“Aren’t you betraying the self-inspection and the cult, and sticking with Assemblyman Seok and trying to take the women who are after him like they’re eating beans?”

“…hehehe.”

Dang Yuri smiled shyly.

“I’m not trying to take them all, but…”

“I know who you’re after.”

“……!!”

It seems like some kind of transmission has occurred.

When I see Dang Yuri being surprised.

“Hey…who are you talking about….”

Murong Seol tried to ask quietly while observing the situation, but neither Tang Yuli nor Murong San said anything.

Ssuk.

So instead, I moved my hand that was on Mo Yongseol’s back and secretly told him the answer.

-To get revenge on my father who abandoned me, I will poison my mother and sisters in front of him. Until then… I cannot die.

Well, abandoned children have twisted emotions in many ways, but among them, Dang Yuri has a particularly strong desire for revenge.

Then why did Dang Yuri decide to join our side?

“…What do you think, Dokma’s disciple.”

“Okay. I appreciate it.”

The answer is surprisingly simple.

Revenge against Sacheondangga is revenge, but the poison of her master, Dokma, has no effect on the Murong family.

‘Everything was destroyed by my teacher.’

The devil’s white face created an antidote to all the poisons that the devil had made.

Even the newly created poison, Dokma, could combine the types and proportions of herbs needed for the antidote in the blink of an eye three times.

And I am a disciple who inherited all the pharmacy from that master.

Perhaps there was only one way for the poison to poison the master.

– Disciple. This master also does not know the medicine to detoxify the aphrodisiac. The aphrodisiac is a kind of ‘law of the world’.

There is no medicine for aphrodisiac.

To be exact, it is possible to make an ‘adjuvant’ that will make the effects of an aphrodisiac end quickly or to make it less painful when the aphrodisiac takes effect.

“Okay. Then let’s get ready. Let’s loosen up the defense so they can move. That, nephew-in-law?”

Murong Shan looked back and forth between me and Murong Xue.

“Nephew, you’re completely resistant to aphrodisiacs right now, right?”

“Yes. …That’s how it happened.”

“That’s right. Even if someone sprayed me with aphrodisiacs, I became a person who couldn’t get addicted to aphrodisiacs.”

Mo Yongseol grabbed my arm tightly and smiled bashfully.

“Right now, that’s the kind of body I have.”

* * *

[Outside of Mo Yong-se’s house, at a restaurant.]

Here, there is a group of people gathered at a restaurant after leaving the Mo Yong Se family estate.

The group, consisting mostly of young women and one man, sat facing each other around a large circular table, but at the head of the table, farthest from the door, sat a middle-aged man.

“Everyone, everyone worked hard to get into Mo Yong-se.”

The master of the self-inspection, the kidnapper.

He called several women to be his daughter Yoo Ki-yeon’s caregivers who were staying at Mo Yong-se’s house, and they have now come out to this dinner table at the kidnapper’s invitation.

“You didn’t learn martial arts. That’s why you were able to enter the Murong Sega.”

“Yes, sir.”

The caregivers answered, bowing their heads.

Among them was a woman with an expressionless face named ‘Yuri’.

“Now is the time to show your true colors. I will give you orders.”

The kidnapper placed a paper bag in front of each of the caregivers with a blank face.

“Tonight, I’m going to the pharmacy to get some elixir.”

“Yes?”

“Open the paper envelope.”

Following the kidnapper’s instructions, the caregivers carefully opened the envelope.

“What is this…?”

“It’s a single ring. It contains powdered elixir.”

A milky white ring that appears to have been coated with some kind of oil.

It looked almost like a well-made piece of porcelain.

“Don’t worry. It’s made using agar powder. It’s not inedible.”

The kidnapper took out one of the rings himself, chewed it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

“If you eat it like this, the elixir will flow out from inside. The one I just ate does not have the elixir inside. Just in case there are any of you who doubt it, I ate it myself to prove it.”

If you ask whether it is really necessary for someone like the head of the Self-Inspection Committee to prove it like that.

“I know that there is a disciple of ‘Dokma’ among you. He is the head of my Jagummun, but in terms of distribution, it is right to show respect to the disciple of Dokma.”

The kidnapper put both hands together and grabbed the lottery ticket.

“Please, help me. So that my daughter can get the seat of the stone.”

As the kidnapper lowered his head, those in the room began to look at each other in confusion.

“Uh, Uh. You’re the disciples of the Great Demon? We’re just….”

“They are just mobilized demons. There is no way there could be a disciple of the poisonous demon among us, right?”

One shocking(?) truth.

All the caregivers and kidnappers gathered in this small banquet hall are members of the Demonic Cult.

Jageommun is one of the branches of the Demonic Cult that disguises itself as a martial artist in Baekdo, and all the caregivers mobilized by Jageommun are people from the Demonic Cult.

The only reason why they haven’t been discovered to be members of the Demonic Cult until now is because they haven’t learned a single one of the Demonic Cult’s martial arts.

However, the reason they follow the Demonic Cult is because they share the same goal.

“I’m sorry, but there is a disciple of the poison demon. You, who are saying such things, could be a disciple of the poison demon. Well…even if you are a disciple of the poison demon, the given mission is the same.”

The kidnapper’s expression hardened as he pointed to the ring in front of him.

“Swallow it. And after entering the inside of the Mo Yong Se family….”

The kidnapper picked up a glass of alcohol and threw it in front of him.

“Like this, you can pretend that someone sprayed the elixir.”

“Aphrodisiac….”

“I have one question to ask.”

Caregiver Yuri raised her hand.

“Why do you want to kidnap Rep. Seok?”

“That’s it.”

The kidnapper spoke in a heavy voice.

“Privately, it’s because my daughter fell in love with Seok Mu-wol.”

“?”

“I don’t know why I fell in love with you…sigh.”

The kidnapper’s sigh deepened.

“Your role is important. Release the aphrodisiac. Hold the aphrodisiac in your stomach and breathe it out, so that those who come near the Mo Yong Sei Medical Center become addicted to the aphrodisiac.”

“Then what happens to us?”

“While addicted to aphrodisiac, rush towards the escorts of the Moyong family.”

“Huh?”

“You can’t suppress it with martial arts, but you can suppress it with compassion.”

The kidnapper looked through the guards.

“Do you know why I gathered you all as ‘virgins’?”

“Uh….”

“If a girl addicted to aphrodisiacs rushes at you while hugging you, even the best of the Murong clan will have no choice but to disarm you.”

The kidnapper made a loop with one hand and then stuck his other finger through it.

“While you guys are dealing with them 1:1, I will infiltrate the infirmary and….”

Phew.

“I will kidnap Seokmuwol. And…”

The kidnapper.

“I will confine him underground and make him continue to create the Great Yang Ring. Without anyone knowing.”

“…….”

I was sincere.

“That.”

Caregiver Yuri asked once more.

“With what confidence?”

“Of course, they don’t know that I’m still a demonic cult member and that I’m going to steal the Seokmuwol!”

The kidnapper was sincere.

“Even the world’s greatest swordsman will have to bow before my ‘Flying Shadow God Step’!”
