no.
At these words from Yeongsu, Taesang became dumbfounded.
“You say it’s not possible… … ?”
“There’s only one thing the Medicus guys got right about this disease. It’s incurable. It’s damn hard to treat.”
“But you know so much about illness… … !”
“I only know the symptoms because I have actually experienced this disease. I don’t know much about the treatment for the palpable pulse.”
“iced coffee…….”
Taesang lowered his head with a blank expression.
“… But how could there not be some clues? Even the smallest ones would do. Any clues… … .”
“hmm…….”
After pretending to collect his thoughts for a moment, Youngsoo opened his mouth.
“… I can take a look for you.”
“Oh… … !”
“Just don’t expect too much. If you just keep that in mind, I’ll check the condition and do what I can.”
“Please, I beg you!”
Yeongsu nodded and said.
“Then go get some herbs and wait.”
Yeongsu turned his steps toward the treatment room inside the store.
Gap-seok followed Yeong-su and asked.
“You don’t know the cure?”
“Why don’t you know, I know.”
“Huh? Then why didn’t you know a little while ago… … .”
“I’m trying to lower my expectations. Even I’m not sure if the treatment can be successful.”
“Is that all… … ?”
“There are two things needed to treat the nine-syllable pulse. First, the internal organs of a spirit that contain the energy of the extreme yang, and second, a doctor with the skills to treat it. The problem is that neither of these two things currently exist on Earth.”
“Then where is it?”
“Central Plains.”
Gapseok nodded as if he understood.
“But since the Central Plains world hasn’t been encroached upon yet, you’re saying that we can’t save both of them.”
“Of course, if the patient can hold out until the Central Plains arrive, there is hope. But if that is absolutely not the case, then… … .”
As he said that, Yeongsu packed some herbs into a bag.
“Then, if you could see it directly and save it, would you save it?”
“Depending on the situation.”
“What should I consider?”
“Do you know what happens to patients who have had their palsy treated?”
Gap-seok thought for a moment and then answered.
“Well, the descriptions are different in the martial arts novels I’ve read. But don’t they usually become incredibly strong?”
“Become an ice man.”
“Ice man?”
“A being that can freely use the ice energy running rampant within its body, that is an ice man.”
“If you’re talking about ice, you’re talking about techniques that use cold or ice?”
“yes.”
“But elementalists also use ice, right?”
“The scale is on a whole other level. The Iceman can freeze people with just his breath and turn a field into frozen ground with a single gesture.”
“… … !”
“Do you understand now? My treatment of the Nine-Eyed Pulse is not the end of it. From the perspective of the Mujin Guild, it is also the acquisition of a strategic weapon.”
“Then, what does it mean that we will treat you based on the situation… ?”
“It’s about seeing if there is loyalty in the organization called Mujin.”
“Loyalty… … .”
“If they join us through treatment, that Bingin will soon become our force. But if not… … .”
“It will be a serious challenge.”
“That’s it.”
Yeongsu said as he tied the opening of the herbal medicine pouch.
“I’ll be back.”

Hooooo-
Youngsoo and Taesang ran.
I ran towards the Mujin Guild, jumping from building to building.
There was no word between the two.
Anyway, I had nothing to say, and going to Mujin came first.
So I just ran at full speed.
To be exact, of the two, only Taesang ran at full speed.
‘what?’
Taesang watched Yeongsu’s movements with eyes that seemed to be seeing some kind of optical illusion.
It was strange.
Even though he was moving slowly, he was easily able to keep up with his full-power running speed.
And in reality, it was true that Youngsoo was adjusting to Taesang.
Anyway, I didn’t know where the Mujin Guild was, and there was nothing I could go see first.
Anyway, the two of them kept running like that.
A couple of hours later.
The two finally arrived at the land of Mujin.
Youngsoo was a little surprised.
“This is… … .”
“Yes. This entire area is our land of Mujin.”
One small town was an entire territory of Mujin.
Even in terms of sheer area, it is dozens of times larger than the wild commercial district.
The two came down from the building and walked along the road.
The atmosphere of the city was strange.
It’s like looking at the Joseon Dynasty with a modern city skin.
Instead of gas stoves, use stoves and bonfires; instead of electric lights, use lanterns and candles; instead of trucks, use carts and packs.
If the wild market reproduced the modern city in a different way, the people here were living in a way that revived the old days.
In the ruins of a modern city where electricity, gas and communications had died and only an empty shell remained, they were reviving old wisdom.
“Oh, the captain is here?”
The people of the city saw Taesang and welcomed him warmly.
Taesang also talked to them without hesitation.
“Yeah, did you manage to fix the wall that you said collapsed last time?”
“I finally solved it. Now I can sleep soundly.”
“Good. But I have something urgent to do, so I’ll go first.”
Youngsoo and Taesang walked back to the Mujin Guild building.
The entrance to the office building we arrived at like that.
The staff welcomed Taesang.
“You’re here. But the person next to you is… … .”
“You are a guest.”
“Then let’s search for a while… … .”
“No, don’t do that to him.”
Even skipping the essential body search procedure, Youngsoo and Taesang headed straight to the hospital room.
To the room where his son was lying.
As he walked, Youngsoo looked over the heads of all the employees he encountered.
It was to read KP.
First of all, the KP of the people you meet is all 0.
It was a completely different atmosphere from Medicus, where almost all employees had KPs.
Soon the two entered the hallway where the sickroom was.
‘It’s already chilly.’
I could feel the cold even though I hadn’t even opened the hospital room door.
Youngsoo asked.
“How many hours of sleep does your son get in a day?”
“… 24 hours.”
“Are you essentially in a coma… … .”
The hospital room we entered like that.
The interior of the ward was further enhanced.
Even though there was a fireplace for heating, the inside of the hospital room felt like early winter.
And a bed in a corner of the room.
There was a man lying on that bed.
“But my son’s name is… … .”
“This is Hwang In-woo.”
Hwang In-woo, the son of Emperor Hwang Tae-sang.
Appears to be in his early 20s.
His hair and eyebrows were all white, and his bones were close together, making him as thin as a stalk of corn.
Youngsoo let out a shallow sigh inwardly.
‘… I guess I won’t be able to last long.’
Still, Youngsoo thought he had to check the condition, so he approached Hwang Inwoo’s hospital bed.
And then I absentmindedly looked above his head.
Ting.
At that moment, Youngsoo saw.
The letters floating above his head.
Yeongsu’s gaze seemed fixed in place.
Forgetting to blink or close his mouth, Youngsoo froze in place.
Taesang, who noticed something strange, asked Yeongsu.
“Hey… how is it?”
Youngsoo didn’t answer his question.
No, his voice wasn’t even heard in the first place.
Because all of Youngsoo’s attention was focused on this young man, Hwang Inwoo.
‘… Okay, this is the best for now.’
Ss …
Youngsoo concentrated his mana on his right index and middle fingers.
and-
—-
[Skill] ‘Bloodshot’ activated.
—-
Pew pew pew!
I put a needle into Inwoo’s body.
A fairly quick and strong injection of acupuncture needle.
The bed frame shook, and the waves of mana exploding could be felt right next to me.
At the same time-
“Cough!”
Blood spurted out of Inwoo’s mouth.
Taesang’s eyes rolled back when he saw that.
“This crazy kid… … !”
bang!!
Taesang grabbed Yeongsu by the collar and threw him to the floor.
The impact was so strong that the floor tiles split open and shook the entire floor.
Taesang shouted in an angry voice.
“You son of a bitch!! What are you doing to my son!!”
Shock, and screams.
Even Taesang’s subordinates who had been waiting outside rushed into the hospital room.
The subordinates who saw the situation all took out the weapons they were carrying.
A tense and tense situation at its peak.
at that time.
“father?”
An unbelievable voice came from behind Taesang’s back.
Taesang slowly looked back.
There, his son, who had woken up from a coma after a month, was looking at him.
Taesang’s hand that was holding Yeongsu’s collar suddenly released.
“how…….”
“I have pierced the frozen blood vessels and restarted the circulation of mana. So, step aside so I can get up.”
This was the reason why he suddenly put a needle in Inwoo’s acupuncture needle.
If we had left it any longer, even this method would not have worked.
“That, that… … !”
Taesang fidgeted and tried to raise Yeongsu up again.
Yeongsu said, hitting Taesang’s hand.
“Go and take care of your son. I’m fine.”
“still……!”
“go.”
It was actually okay.
Thanks to the effect of .
“Father… … ? What on earth am I… … .”
“Inwoo!”
Taesang ran to the sickbed and hugged his son.
Youngsoo watched this scene and took something out of his inventory.
A pouch containing medicinal herbs.
Yeongsu asked Taesang’s subordinates standing behind him.
“Hey, is there an alchemist here?”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
“Go and have them extract the ingredients of those herbs. As soon as possible.”
“yes!”
After the subordinates left with the pouch of medicine.
Taesang bowed deeply to Yeongsu and said.
“I apologize for my actions just now… … !”
“That’s okay. I was the one who caused the misunderstanding first.”
“iced coffee……!”
“But it’s still too early to be moved.”
“yes?”
“Puncture of the blood vessel is only an emergency measure. If left alone, the blood vessel will freeze again. Even harder than before. From then on, even acupuncture won’t work.”
“… … !”
“If you take the herbs I brought, you can extend the period a bit more, but that will only take a month.”
“That means… … .”
“We have to find a cure within a month.”
Taesang nodded with a stern expression.
Hope was born.
However, the problem was that there was a time limit to that hope.
“…What should I do?”
“There’s nothing you can do. Just promise me one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“When I ask you to, just once, stand by my side and fight. That is my condition.”
“no.”
“what?”
“We, Mujin, will fight for you at any time. As long as you heal my son.”
A bigger deal than expected rolled in.
Yeongsu nodded and extended his hand toward Taesang.
The two held hands tightly.
A covenant was made.
And Hwang In-woo watched this scene with a blank look on his face, wondering what on earth was going on.
“I… father?”
“hmm?”
“Who is this person?”
When Inwoo looked at Yeongsu and asked, Taesang answered.
“This is the Master of the Undercovers Guild, Cheon Yeong-su. He has come from far away to treat you.”
“Ah, Undercovers… … .”
wait for a sec.
“Undercovers… … ?”
Hwang In-woo’s eyes shook violently.
“Undercovers… … ? That, really, that, that I know, Undercovers?!”
Inwoo turned his gaze towards Yeongsu.
Youngsoo just smiled faintly.
Inwoo asked.
“Who are you… … ?”
Yeongsu answered with his knife instead of his mouth.
Kagagak!
Youngsoo pulled out a sword from his inventory and carved letters on the wall at lightning speed.
[Carmen].
World: Youngsu’s nickname during the Terraid era.
Inwoo knew that name.
That name, that font, and that cut.
I remembered it all.
I couldn’t help but remember.
because…….
“Master?”
Hwang In-woo was also once a member of Undercover.
Youngsoo said.
“Yes, Master.”
“This is crazy, my goodness… …!”
“And you?”
The original Undercovers consisted of only four members.
‘Carmen’ Cheon Yeong-su, ‘Gangpol’ Lee Gap-seok.
And ‘Nightcrawler’ and ‘Dubai Hanmo’.
And Hwang In-woo… … .
“Nightcrawler meets the Master… …!”
“Hey, don’t do that, it’s annoying.”
The two looked at each other for a moment and giggled.
Meanwhile, Youngsoo’s gaze was directed above Inwoo’s head.
He saw bright red letters floating above his head.

[Nightcrawler]
KP: 0

Youngsoo said.
“Okay, then, as your guide, I will give you just one order.”
“Go ahead.”
“Live. I will find a way.”
