Episode 188. The identity of the sense of discomfort (1)

The person that Cheon Myeong-myeong was aiming his sword at right now was clearly Cheon Yu-su.

Moreover, that statement just now… … . In response to Cheon Yu-su’s question about where the enemy was, Cheon Myeong-myeong answered that he was currently aiming his sword at them.

One fact that is established by this.

Cheon Yu-su is the enemy. Cheon Myeong-myeong was just saying that.

“…haha.”

At that moment, laughter burst out of Cheon Yu-su’s mouth.

It wasn’t a laugh that was really funny, it was more of a laughter that suggested how absurd the situation was.

“I’m the enemy, stop joking like that. Myeongyeong.”

“…….”

“It’s not fun. If I made you feel bad, I apologize again…….”

As Cheon Yu-su tried to move again, Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately moved his sword.

A warning sign that can be felt from the direction the sword is aimed.

Because he felt that he was truly trying to betray himself, Cheon Yu-su eventually stopped moving and was unable to approach Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“Does this sound like a joke to you?”

“…I don’t think so.”

“…….”

“Then tell me why. Why am I your enemy?”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su’s expression seemed to be filled with resentment.

“So you’re suspecting me just because I’m a member of the Shadow Family?”

“…….”

“You told me back then that you trusted me… but it turned out to be a lie.”

Cheon Myeong-Myeong protected Cheon Yu-Su from Cheon Mu-In.

How moved he was by that sight.

No matter how much others doubted him, as long as Cheon Myeong-myeong believed in him, it didn’t matter.

But at this moment, Cheon Yu-su was shocked to see that Cheon Myeong-myeong, whom he trusted the most, was pointing a sword at him with a cold gaze.

“Myungmyung, why on earth are you doing this? We’ve been fighting together all this time.”

“…….”

“I’m on your side. If I’ve done anything wrong, please tell me and I’ll try to fix it.”

“How disgusting. Are you going to keep evading the issue?”

No matter what Cheon Yu-su said, Cheon Myeong-myeong maintained a consistent attitude.

Feeling extremely frustrated by that sight, Cheon Yu-su eventually shouted in a raised voice.

“Tell me why! There must be a reason why you’re suddenly acting like this.”

“Then let me tell you.”

“……?”

“You are not my brother.”

“What is that… Look straight ahead! No matter where you look, I’m Cheon Yu-su.”

“No, you’re just another guy wearing my brother’s mask.”

The first time Cheon Myeong-myeong realized this fact was when he punched Cheon Yu-su in the face.

At that time, I threw a punch without thinking, but the punch was sharp enough that one side of my cheek was swollen.

If a second- or third-rate unmanned vehicle was hit by it, it wouldn’t be strange if it instantly knocked them out.

Of course, given Cheon Yu-su’s skill level, it wouldn’t have been strange at all for him to have only gotten a slight bruise after getting punched, but what Cheon Myeong-myeong was concerned about was the exact moment when his fist touched Cheon Yu-su’s cheek.

“Why did you try to avoid the punch then?”

“…….”

“You could have easily avoided my punch back then. But then you brought your face back to where it was. It was as if you were deliberately getting hit by my punch.”

If I had completely avoided it, I wouldn’t have thought it strange.

If you look at it from the skill perspective alone, wouldn’t Cheon Yu-su be able to respond to that level since he is a master who has reached the Demon Realm?

It’s just that he can’t normally use his full power because of his uniquely weak personality. If he could really show his true power, Cheon Yu-su would definitely be a strong man.

But Cheon Yu-su tried to avoid the punch at that moment, but instead brought his face closer to it, and it felt like he was clearly trying to get hit by the punch on purpose.

“You’re mistaken. I just couldn’t avoid your punch back then.”

“…….”

“What kind of idiot would try to get hit by a flying punch instead of just dodging it? Even I’m not that stupid.”

In fact, although I pointed that out, there were some questionable parts about Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Before the fist was aimed, he felt a slight movement in Cheon Yu-su’s body, but it was not certain whether it was an attempt to avoid his own fist.

I just moved without thinking, but it could be that I misunderstood.

So Cheon Myeong-myeong only had a hunch at that time. He was hiding the doubts that had arisen in his mind.

“Then let’s move on to something else.”

“…….”

“You made a lot of mistakes today. No, you pretended to make mistakes and let the assassins of the Shadow House know our location.”

That was something that Cheonmuin had already pointed out.

At that time, Cheon Myeong-myeong didn’t say much, but inside, he was watching Cheon Yu-su closely.

“That’s too much… Even though I’m usually reckless and make a lot of mistakes, you still say that?”

“My brother is definitely a bit of a careless person in general. But he keeps his wits about him at important moments and doesn’t make such trivial mistakes.”

“…….”

“And actually, the waters appeared here. If I think about it carefully, you were the one who brought me here, saying that you could hear the sound of water.”

“No, I just went to find the bandits’ base…….”

“There are no bandits here.”

At those words, Cheon Yu-su tilted his head with a puzzled look.

There are no bandits. Weren’t they just looking for the bandits’ base for their mission?

As if he had been hit hard on the head, Cheon Yu-su opened his mouth with a blank expression.

“What is that… Then what is the mission?”

“It’s fake.”

“…FALSE?”

“Yes. It’s a trap I set to attract the enemy.”

From the beginning, the mission to eradicate bandits did not exist.

All of this is a fake mission created by Cheon Myeong Myeong.

It was a trap prepared by Cheon Myeong-myeong to attract the enemy and to resolve the doubts he had felt about Cheon Yu-su.

“…You doubt me so much? Didn’t you think of me as a colleague from the beginning?”

“…….”

“All the circumstances are suspicious enough. I admit that. But… I really don’t know anything! The reason the assassins showed up here could be because the enemy was following us from the beginning!”

Cheon Yu-su still expressed his position that he was wronged.

As I said, the appearance of the killer whales here and the movement of the water lily to the stream could have been a mere coincidence.

Could it be that they had been secretly following him until now and had decided to use this place as the assassination site?

However, there was one thing that Cheon Myeong-Myeong had not yet said.

“Red death.”

“……?”

“I told you earlier when I was resting that I would give you 30 red dragons.”

“…That’s what it was.”

Why are you bringing that up in this situation?

Cheon Yu-su’s eyes seemed to show that he had no understanding of the intention of those words.

“My brother had a great desire for the Red Death Flower. Of course. If he didn’t collect enough Red Death Flower, he might die in the second ranking announcement.”

“Are you saying that because I said I would be fired later? Of course I’m on a mission right now, so I wouldn’t have said that then…….”

“Fifty.”

“……?”

“The number of red ginsengs I promised to give to you before is 50.”

The silence flowing around.

After a while, the silence was broken when Cheon Yu-su smiled awkwardly.

“Haha… was that so? It was a long time ago, so I think I mixed up the numbers for a moment.”

“There’s no way it could be confusing.”

“…….”

“The passing score for the second ranking announcement is likely to be 100. My brother was clearly aware of that fact, and so he would sing to me every chance he got, asking me to give him 50.”

There is no way that such a number of people would confuse the numbers.

Would you really forget about a problem that involved your life just because a month has passed?

Cheon Myeong-myeong’s suspicions about that part turned into conviction.

“Let me ask you again.”

Clearly, the outward appearance was that of a thousand water droplets.

His speech, facial expressions, and even his minor habits were no different from his usual self.

So, Cheon Myeong-myeong had been watching Cheon Yu-su with only his own feelings until now.

What is this cold and indescribable feeling that is clearly in front of my eyes?

At first, he thought that Cheon Yu-su had betrayed him, but now his thoughts have changed a little.

“Who the hell are you?”

“…….”

The being in front of me now was not Cheon Yu-su.

No, should I say that he is another being wearing the mask of Cheon Yu-su?

It felt different from disguising oneself by covering oneself with a face mask… … Cheon Myeong-myeong already knew the other appearance of Cheon Yu-su.

visor-!

At that moment, the Wind Demon Sword was raised high with a sharp clanging sound.

What had just been kicked out of the Cheonmyeongmyeong Sword were two sharp daggers. The person holding and swinging them was Cheon Yusu.

“……!”

It was a movement so fast that I couldn’t respond in an instant.

I was constantly on guard, but you came in during that brief gap.

As soon as Cheon Yu-su pulled out his sword, he quickly dove into Cheon Myeong-myeong’s arms.

Whoosh-.

A blade aimed straight at the heart.

The blade that had formed into a sword was filled with the will to kill the opponent by any means necessary, and in case it failed to pierce the heart, another dagger was also aimed at Cheonmyeongmyeong’s vital point.

“…….”

Fortunately, Cheon Myeong-myeong appeared to have prevented the surprise attack.

The dagger heading for the heart was blocked using the Yemmado, but blood was still flowing out slightly from Cheon Myeong-myeong’s thigh.

‘In that brief moment, the trajectory of the blade changed.’

The one who cut off Cheon Myeong-myeong’s thigh was Cheon Yu-su.

Cheon Myeong-Myeong tried to defend against both of his attacks at once with Yeomma-Do, but Cheon Yu-Su reacted to his movements and immediately changed the direction of his dagger.

Even to the point of not being noticed for the change, one dagger was pointed straight at the heart.

Cheon Myeong-myeong ended up giving up his thigh to the clever technique that was performed in a split second.

“…….”

It was a reaction speed that was on a different level from the assassins he had faced just before.

Should I say that it feels like you’ve decided in advance how you’re going to move based on the opponent’s movements?

Cheon Myeong-myeong glared at the person standing there with sharp eyes.

“He’s quite a sharp guy.”

“…….”

“If I had known you were this meticulous, I would have paid more attention.”

The voice was clearly Cheon Yu-su.

But that tone of voice and gaze were definitely not Cheon Yu-su’s.

That was the identity of the cold feeling he had been feeling… … Now, it seemed like the other person had no intention of hiding their identity.

“Are you finally revealing your true colors?”

“Oh, I decided to stop now.”

“…….”

“Let me ask you one thing. Why did you refuse the water I offered you earlier? Did you already suspect me back then?”

He was talking about the water bottle that had been recommended to Cheon Myeong-myeong before he discovered the stream.

Cheon Myeong-myeong answered that question in a calm tone.

“It can’t hurt to be careful. Who knows if there’s poison in there.”

“Correct answer.”

“…….”

“There was poison in that water.”

It was a very light tone, as if he had accidentally put poison in it.

At that time, they said there was no water in the water bottle, but in fact, there was water in it.

If Cheon Myeong-myeong says he wants to drink the water, you can just give it to him. If he refuses, you can pretend it doesn’t exist and throw it far away, naturally destroying the evidence.

Then you won’t have to drink poisoned water.

It was all natural behavior, but the assassination had already begun from there.

“He really is a brave man.”

“…….”

“I was going to kill you right away if you showed me a clear opening. But no matter how long I waited, you just wouldn’t show me that opening.”

“…….”

“But how could you possibly be suspected of something so absurd? It’s a bit absurd.”

Up until now, I have been by Cheon Myeong-myeong’s side several times, waiting for an opportunity to kill him.

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong did not show any clear weakness, and in the end, he lured him here and tried to kill him, but due to his overwhelming helplessness, he was left alone.

The man wearing Cheon Yu-su’s mask let out a laugh as if he found that fact ridiculous.

“Who are you?”

At that time, Cheon Myeong-myeong asked again.

At that moment, his gaze quietly turned towards Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Soon the man opened his mouth with a meaningful expression.

“It’s a confession.”
