By the way, there is nothing on his body anymore.

But judging by the fact that his entire body was dyed blue, his life must have really been in danger. If the bugs inside his body were running wild, it would be difficult for him to survive.

They put those bugs in there to control people.

“No, no, there’s no way I would betray him!”

Insimwon denied what he had done. Then, he suddenly stood up and ran towards me.

“You! What the hell have you done to me!”

I raised my hand to calm him down as Cheonma was about to cut me down. Insimwon grabbed me by the collar and yelled at me. It seems like he couldn’t handle what he did.

I’ve already gotten so much information that it’s okay if the interest rate dies down.

You should use it sparingly.

I put my hand on the shoulder of the man who had grabbed me by the collar.

“It left you to die. Isn’t it like abandoning you? So I decided to save you.”

He probably didn’t really intend to throw it away. He was desperately trying to grab the light, but he gave it up to survive.

The one who was abandoned was none other than Insimwon.

“No! Put me back where I was! I’ll go back to his arms! Please! No. If I’m late, I’ll definitely be punished. Before that, I have to go back!”

He screams in a fit of panic. His face is filled with fear. He panics and says he will be punished if he doesn’t go back.

Ah, that’s right. The Cheonmasingyo have parasites in their bodies, and they control people through those. If they torture people from a young age, they leave irreparable scars on their hearts.

There are experiments. If you torture a dog by giving it an electric shock in a place where there is no escape, even if you later open a door that allows it to escape from the electric shock, the dog will not run away but will remain in pain.

Learned helplessness, you say?

It’s just a slight variation of that. If you’re not loyal to him, he’ll make you suffer, and he’ll kill a few people as examples.

If it lasts long enough, even if you have the strength to break free from it, you can’t even think about rebelling.

Because it’s already ingrained in my head that I can’t escape.

So I told him one thing.

“Now there is nothing in your body that is bothering you. You can live freely from now on.”

He looks at me with an expression that says it’s ridiculous, but his hands are gradually losing strength.

He must know too. There’s nothing left in his body.

“People’s Heart.”

I tell him.

“Is there anyone you would like to help?”

yes.

He also has someone precious to him. Someone I don’t know. People tend to have something precious when they rise to a high position, and luckily, this person has someone precious to him.

In the first place, it is a space where the only thing that can be felt as precious is people.

Because of the dress code, they can’t wear anything. They don’t have any private property in the first place. The only thing they can gain is rank, and even that is through horrible procedures.

Even after undergoing all those procedures and rising to a high position, you have nothing but your name. The only thing you can be obsessed with is people.

Maybe that’s why Cheonma was so obsessed with Jeonyang.

anyway.

When I asked the Insimwon, he grabbed his head with an expression of great pain. Then, after a very short hesitation, instead of opening his mouth, he raised his head and covered his lips with his index finger.

And with my fingers, I pointed to three specific places: the ceiling and the walls.

It means there is someone secretly watching.

“Let’s clean it up.”

“Yeah.”

As the horse stomped forward, a crushing sound was heard from all directions.

yes?

No, I thought I was going to swing a sword or something like that and use me like I did a little while ago.

No, strictly speaking, is it true that you wrote about me?

Blood is oozing from several places other than the ones he pointed to.

Out of curiosity, I went towards the blood flowing out, opened the door, and was greeted by a torn corpse.

The corpse has a human form, but the body is very contaminated with impurities.

Oddly deformed arms, rotten, colorful internal organs, bugs with multiple legs extending along the spine, etc.

But none of them were killed by the single stomp of the Heavenly Horse’s foot. Of course, I know that a lot of them were killed because they gained a lot of heat.

“The bug is the main body.”

The horse that followed looked down with an expression of disinterest.

“That’s a natural thing in the Cheonmasin Church. But I didn’t know it would be eaten this much.”

I went back to Insimwon again.

And I grabbed his hand and brought it close to his face and laughed.

“You can buy whoever you want.”

If I were to say this after just killing someone, it would sound like I’m not going to kill anyone, but if you see my pale skin, you’ll know what I mean.

Only I can save you.

Make it look like that.

He nodded obediently and asked me in a small voice, as if he was still afraid.

“What do you want?”

I followed his example and answered in a small voice.

“Take me to your master.”

He bit his lip for a moment, then opened his mouth while looking straight at me. He seemed determined.

“Please save me first.”

“Like.”

He looks at me in surprise, as if he didn’t expect me to answer right away.

I asked because the sight seemed strange.

“Why are you so surprised? Shouldn’t you find someone you can live with before your enemy?”

Cheonma is laughing behind me. No, of course I know that what I’m saying may sound like I’m talking for the sake of people.

But isn’t that meaningless among people who know what I am? The Insimwon knows what I am too.

There’s a reason I shouted at Cheonma earlier. All the attempts to do something to me through strange sorcery ended in vain.

No, I didn’t feel it, but it seemed like they were trying to test me by either casting a curse or using some esoteric magic.

But they all failed.

Insimwon remembers that it didn’t start at all, but just disappeared without any meaning, like throwing an egg at a wall.

At least if you attacked I would have felt it, but the way I curse using my harvester seems to have no attack hit at all.

It’s a pity.

Anyway, if you misunderstand, I’m fine with it. I took him and walked around Woljedang with Cheonma. No one interrupted him. He found the person he wanted right away.

It was a girl.

We’re not lovers. We’re not daughters either. We just happened to meet and have meaningless conversations.

Everyone is sad.

How come everyone acts like they’re willing to open their hearts and give everything just to make a friend?

But it was too late.

“I will make you pay the price for betraying me.”

This time, something like a bear eel popped out through the man’s face.

At the same time, the girl’s body swells, her eyebrows widen, and her scales protrude. However, as if her body cannot hold on, parts of her body are exposed and tattered with muscles.

My body is breaking down because it can’t handle the change.

“You in human skin.”

The thing hanging on the monster’s head like a lantern speaks to me.

“I don’t know what your true identity is, but once you enter the domain of the Haedo-pa, don’t think you’ll be able to return safely.”

Do you want to do it?

Aha. Is this the Fengshen Yanyi this time? It’s a mix of things.

Or maybe some of this has seeped into the world I knew, but it doesn’t really matter.

“Are you on top?”

It laughs at my question.

“Yes. I am the leader of the Severed Sect. I am Tongcheon. Are you afraid now?”

That really was the name. But the leader of Tongcheon. Was he closer to a god?

“If you were God, you might be afraid.”

Then it burst into laughter. The person attached to it let out a groan of pain, which made the laughter even more contrasting.

“Ah, that’s right. I am the god you fear.”

Kehehe.

“Yes, I got it.”

I see. It’s God.

I guess I can take this to mean that God has freely given us this cold, right?

Could it be understood that this god gave me this cold chill that was so cold it would make me go crazy?

It’s okay if it’s not like that.

Because I just need someone to vent my anger on.

“Cheonma. Just stay alive.”

The horse walked forward. Then, the bear on top of its head opened its mouth as it looked at the horse.

“It’s like a corpse. Did you use the magic of reviving the dead? But if it’s Cheonma, there must have been a severance of ties and a pact. If you violate that, can we consider our connection to be cut off as of today? Don’t regret taking away everything you’ve enjoyed on this land.”

But Cheonma swung his sword when he saw the bear.

In an instant, the limbs of the girl who had turned into a monster turned to dust and disappeared.

Yes. It wasn’t cut off, but it turned to dust and scattered black dust.

Insimwon also looks at Cheonma with an extremely astonished expression. It’s very funny because his gaze is full of awe.

The horse approached the fish that was talking on top of the monster’s head.

“I know that old agreement. So this is the last advice from the breaking side, Shinseon.”

The fish wiggled around as if it was having fun.

“Advice? A corpse that was revived by a mere trick? Try it.”

Strangely, Cheonma laughed at the words that he was superior.

“Run away. If you can.”

And then, with a bang, the fish turned black and disappeared.

Cheonma turned around and looked at me, then pointed to the monster with its missing limbs with its hand.

I approached her and made a contract.

Are you having trouble communicating?

Your brain is destroyed so you can’t think?

Do you think you can’t make a contract for something like that?

No, that’s not true.

It’s okay if the physical damage is serious if you come into direct contact with the light. How have you been talking to those above the water so far?

I recited the contract.

As the body shattered like porcelain, a naked girl with blue skin emerged from it.

I approached the crying Insimwon.

“Now let’s go meet God.”

I said that while stopping the Insimwon from banging its head on the ground.
