Episode 182. Unwelcome Guest (1)

Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly opened his eyes.

‘… This is reality.’

As soon as he opened his eyes, Cheon Myeong-myeong knew that fact.

What he saw in front of him was a familiar ceiling, and the place he was lying on was also a hospital bed used in a hospital.

“Are you awake?”

At that moment, someone nearby spoke to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Cheon Myeong-myeong quietly turned his gaze in that direction, and there was an old man who appeared to be a member of the National Assembly looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately raised his upper body and asked the old man.

“What happened to me?”

“He was taken to the hospital unconscious.”

“…….”

“After an hour passed and he didn’t come out, the security guard went in and found him lying there unconscious.”

As expected, the person who had brought him here seemed to be a guard guarding Cheonmachong.

Cheon Myeong-myeong quietly checked his own danjeon and could see that his internal energy had recovered to some extent compared to when he lost consciousness.

“There is nothing particularly wrong with my body.”

“…….”

“It seems that you have lost consciousness due to lack of internal energy, so I have prescribed some medicine to restore your vitality. Please rest here for a while and then get up from your sickbed.”

After saying that, the congressman gave a brief nod and left the room.

There was a herbal medicine lying nearby that the doctor had just mentioned, but Cheon Myeong-myeong only gave it a quick nod and did not reach out to take it.

Because the upper chamber was opened, Cheonmyeongmyeong’s recovery speed had already exceeded the normal level.

Since I have reached a point where my internal energy is naturally restored even without taking any fortune food, if time passes like this, my internal energy will be completely restored naturally even without the help of herbal medicine.

“…….”

Even if he got out of bed right now, there wouldn’t be any problem for Cheon Myeong-Myeong.

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong still sits still on the hospital bed with his upper body raised.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked down silently, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

‘That was So Wol-hyeon’s memory.’

So Wol-hyeon was also a spirit summoned by Cheon Ma-ok.

Even though he was not a Heavenly Horse, he was no different from other masters in that he was connected to the Macheonkyung.

Maybe that’s why. This time, he was able to catch a glimpse of So Wol-hyeon’s memories.

‘What I saw was So Wol-hyeon’s childhood.’

That was also quite a young age.

Two new facts he learned from that memory.

One is the fact that up until then, So Wol-hyeon and his brother had a very close friendship, and the other is the meaning of the word ‘Il-sik’ written on So Il-hyeon’s memorial tablet.

‘Eclipse. It symbolized the friendship between the two.’

Of course, one could think of it as a foolish childish prank.

Because at a young age, we often attach importance to useless things and play around with them as if they were something great.

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong was concerned that the target was not an ordinary child but So Il-hyeon, and that after a long time, the word was written on So Il-hyeon’s memorial tablet.

‘The person who used the word ‘eclipse’ there must have been So Il-Hyeon.’

The person who wrote the text there might not have been So Il-Hyeon.

Usually, it is the custom for later generations to engrave a will on the memorial tablet according to the deceased’s wishes.

In any case, it was written according to So Il-Hyeon’s will, and in the first place, only those two people knew the meaning of the eclipse.

Since it was safe to assume that there was absolutely no chance that the word “eclipse” would be written on the memorial tablet, Cheon Myeong-myeong was certain that the person who wrote the text was So Il-hyeon.

‘… I think there’s something.’

The two people were so close that they said that their wish was their brother’s wish. And the secret code between brothers that was written on So Il-hyun’s memorial tablet.

Cheon Myeong-myeong did not think that the two people were trying to kill each other in a simple power struggle.

Of course, there may be more things I don’t know, but that’s what I felt based on what I’ve seen so far.

‘You’ll have to ask yourself to be exact.’

It would be good to hear both sides of this issue.

But as of now, the only person who can talk is So Wol-hyeon. But it doesn’t seem like even that person will tell me the details.

‘Is the only way to get closer to the truth by peeking into So Wol-hyeon’s other memories?’

However, even Cheon Myeong-myeong, the person who glimpsed the memories, did not know how he was peeking at the memories.

Are there any specific conditions required to glimpse memories?

I tried to find commonalities by synthesizing all the cases up to now, but nothing specific came to mind.

As he was pondering whether he had missed something, Cheon Myeong-myeong could feel someone approaching the door.

Druk-.

Is the doctor who left the hospital room earlier back?

He might have come to check if I had finished taking the herbal medicine.

For a moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong thought so, but when the door opened, the face that appeared was not that of a doctor.

“What, you’re awake.”

The person who opened the door and came in was Cheonmuin.

From the way he spoke, it seemed like he had come in a hurry after hearing the news that he had been transferred to the National Assembly.

“Are you feeling better?”

Jang Dong-su, who followed Cheonmuin, asked that question as if he was worried.

Cheon Myeong-myeong thought that his condition was not critical enough to warrant asking about his well-being, but if he were to change his position, wouldn’t he be worried?

If I had heard that he had suddenly lost consciousness without any warning and was carried to the hospital, I would have been worried as a colleague.

“It’s okay. There’s no problem.”

The two people felt relieved at that answer.

Since Cheon Myeong-myeong didn’t appear to be injured or anything, Cheon Mu-in asked in a puzzled tone.

“But why did you suddenly come to the hospital? I heard you were carried here unconscious.”

“It’s just a lack of internal energy.”

“……?”

“I exhausted my internal energy so much that my danjeon was completely empty. That’s why I lost consciousness.”

“What on earth were you doing until it got to that point? Did you have a heated argument with someone?”

There was a fierce fight.

Of course, it wasn’t me, but So Wol-hyeon and the two teachers.

There was too much to talk about if he were to explain that far, so Cheon Myeong-myeong nodded roughly.

“Well, that happened.”

“Don’t ask for details.”

“…….”

“okay.”

After spending some time with Cheon Myeong-myeong, it became clear that Cheon Mu-in was able to understand things just by looking at them.

“Anyway, are you guys okay now?”

After returning to Cheonsan, Cheon Myeong-myeong saw the two people for the first time.

Before leaving for the North, the two of them had not fully recovered, so Cheon Myeong-myeong suddenly asked them this.

“This side is no problem either.”

“I can fight now. Just give me the order whenever you want.”

Fortunately, both of them seemed to have recovered considerably in the meantime.

Even Cheonmuin, who had suffered the most serious injuries, seemed to have no major difficulties moving around, and Jang Dongsu seemed to have almost fully recovered.

“That’s fortunate.”

I didn’t say that simply because the power came back.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was simply worried about the two seriously injured comrades.

Although he had never thought that he would have such thoughts, Cheon Myeong-myeong found himself smiling as he watched the two people get healthier.

“…Now I can use it as I please.”

“……?”

“Be prepared. You’ll have to move more since you’ve been resting for so long.”

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately became serious and said that, as if he was embarrassed somewhere.

“It’s so venomous.”

Hearing that, Cheonmuin chuckled.

Because Cheonmuin knew that Cheon Myeong-myeong’s true feelings were different.

“Yes, just leave it to me!”

On the other hand, Jang Dong-su seemed to have taken those words at face value and was answering forcefully.

“……?”

At that time, Cheon Myeong-myeong looked around as if he had realized something and was puzzled.

“Why is that?”

“…because it seems like one person is missing.”

“Oh, are you talking about Cheon Yu-su?”

There was no sign of Cheon Yu-su around.

Cheon Myeong-myeong realized later that the only people who had opened the door and entered the hospital room were Cheon Mu-in and Jang Dong-su.

“That guy couldn’t come because he had something to do.”

“…Business?”

“I guess a guest came. That’s why I haven’t heard from you.”

Before the news of Cheon Myeong-myeong was delivered, Cheon Yu-su had already gone out.

That’s why only two people who heard the news hurriedly came to find Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Although he could understand the situation, Cheon Myeong-myeong asked Cheon Mu-in as if he was concerned about something.

“Do you know who that guest is?”

“Well, I didn’t hear exactly who it was.”

“…….”

“I just heard that someone from the family came.”

“If you’re talking about the family… are you talking about the dark song?”

“I guess so.”

“…….”

A person came to visit me from the shadow house.

Of course, since Cheon Yu-su was from the Dark Shadows, it wouldn’t have been strange if someone had come to visit him there, but Cheon Myeong-myeong was constantly concerned about this fact, as if there was something wrong with him.

‘The dark shadow must have thrown away Cheon Yu-su.’

But then someone came looking for me there? Of course it was strange.

The guy who not only created the personality of Hoe-myeong in Cheon Yu-su’s body, but also neglected him until now, why is he doing this now… Is he pretending to care, even if it’s late, because he survived the competition so far?

Whatever it was, it didn’t seem like Cheon Yu-su would be happy about the visit.

Swish-.

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong got up from his sickbed.

The two people looked at the sight with puzzled eyes, and when Cheon Myeong-myeong was about to go out, Jang Dong-su hurriedly asked.

“Oh, Your Majesty! Where are you going?”

My steps stopped for a moment at that question.

Cheon Myeong-myeong spoke in a low voice while still standing still.

“I’m going to Cheon Yu-su.”

“……?”

“Do you know where Cheon Yu-su is now?”

“I don’t know. But why is there…….”

“Because we’re colleagues.”

Answering like that, Cheon Myeong-myeong opened the door wide and went out.

* * *

Meanwhile, Cheon Yu-su was sitting in his room facing an old man at a table.

At first glance, he looks anxious and uneasy.

The man sitting across from Cheon Yu-su right now was the current head of the Amyeongga family, Yeong So-gak.

“…….”

Yeongso-gak was the person that Cheon Yu-su feared the most in this world.

Of course, Cheon Shirang is scary, but Yeongso-gak is scary in a different way.

The person who used the Salyeong method to give another personality called Hoe-myeong to Cheon Yu-su’s body is Yeong So-gak.

The person who completely changed Cheon Yu-su’s life was the person right in front of him.

Hesitantly, hesitantly.

Ever since he entered this room, Cheon Yu-su had been sitting somewhere with an anxious look on his face.

In some ways, that reaction was quite natural.

The person who always threatened and even resorted to force, saying that he was a failure of the family, was Yeongso-gak.

As his anticipation faded and time passed, he stopped doing such things, but the wounds from the past still remained in Cheon Yu-su’s body.

“It looks like you’re doing pretty well.”

At that moment, Yeongso-gak broke the silence and opened his mouth.

Yeongso-gak, who had never hesitated to say things that were too difficult to even bring himself to say, now had a much calmer voice than before.

“Yes. As the successor to the Dark Shadow Family, you should do that much.”

“…….”

“But it seems like it wasn’t a complete mess.”

Yeongso-gak spoke so naturally that it was hard to believe that he was speaking to his grandson.

Even after hearing the word “Mujeori,” Cheon Yu-su just lowered his head and said nothing in response. Looking at him, Yeong So-gak opened his mouth again.

“I came to see you today because I have something to do.”

“……?”

He had something to do. Only then did Cheon Yu-su raise his head and look at Yeong-so-gak with a puzzled look.

“Cheon Myeong Myeong, you know that guy, right?”

“……?”

“I heard you two are pretty close.”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong’s name suddenly came out, Cheon Yu-su’s eyes couldn’t help but become even more puzzled.

Why is Yeongso-gak mentioning Cheon Myeong-myeong’s name now?

When an ominous feeling was instinctively rising, Yeongso-gak said indifferently.

“Kill that guy.”
