Episode 152. The Big Game (2)

As the blue energy rippled around the white stone that Hanbin was holding, Hwangbo Mancheong asked with curious eyes.

“Are you saying we should just leave it here?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’ll leave it here because I feel like I’ll never be able to return once I leave the sky.”

This was Hanbin’s true heart.

Hanbin knew that this was a tracheal incision.

The organ transplant is like a typhoon.

There is something that Hanbin’s close friend told him in his past life.

Where is the safest place to be when a typhoon comes?

It would be nice to be far away from the typhoon, but if you are close, the safest place is right in the middle.

That is, it refers to the eye of the typhoon.

Here on the Go board, it’s the sky and the clouds.

When I came to my previous life, it was already broken, but now the organ is still alive.

Hwangbo Man-cheong laughed as if he found Han-bin’s expression ridiculous.

“Heh heh, you’re scared?”

This was his true heart.

In Hwangbo Man-cheong’s view, Han Bin was the most meticulous and the one who hid himself more thoroughly than anyone else.

But I was scared and didn’t understand.

Hanbin responded to that laughter with a cheerful smile.

“Yes, I am naturally timid, my lord.”

“I can’t believe it.”

“People who are originally fearful tend to live longer.”

“Let’s say that’s true, but is it really okay to use a white stone?”

“That’s okay, but there’s one problem.”

When Hanbin raised one finger, Hwangbo Mancheong tilted his head.

“What’s the problem?”

“I don’t know the rules of Go. Can you just play by my rules?”

“If you don’t know, I’ll teach you. In baduk, winning or losing isn’t the important thing.”

“Yes, thank you. Then, please go first.”

“Then I’ll leave it at that.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong nodded and extended his hand.

Whoosh!

The black stone was stuck exactly in the lower right corner.

It was as if the floor was sucking in the black stones as if they were being pulled by a magnet.

Ting!

Hanbin tilted his head as the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Because it felt like I was inside a large bell.

I turned my head to look at Hwangbo Mancheong, and he was also looking at the inside of the cave as if he found it fascinating.

For a moment, Hanbin threw a white stone.

stroke!

Ting!

The sound rang out again.

It was a sound heard right in front of Hanbin.

Hanbin threw a stone right in front of him.

Hwangbo Man-cheong tilted his head at that sight.

The reason he placed the stone on the corner was out of consideration for his opponent.

There were many ways to play with sewage, but I kept it as classic as possible because I had no intention of teasing the young Ji-soo.

However, Hanbin placed the stone near the sky.

what?

Hwangbo Man-cheong tilted his head.

Then Hanbin said.

“Please put it down.”

“Okay.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong threw a stone again.

It was the fire point on the lower left.

However, Hanbin threw the stone in front of him again.

A deep furrow was created between Hwangbo Man-cheong’s eyebrows.

Because I didn’t know whether he was trying to joke around or play Go.

Hanbin’s bizarre behavior continued.

Ting, ting.

Hwangbo Man-cheong asked after seeing the fourth stone that Han-bin placed.

“What do you want to do now?”

“The only game I know how to play on a Go board is Omok.”

“It’s Omok… … .”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked at the stone that Han Bin had placed.

Four of them were lined up in the center of the board.

Hanbin said.

“Even on the same Go board, if people have different thoughts, this kind of strange result seems to occur. Did I win?”

“hmm.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked around him.

It was definitely on the Go board.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“That’s why negotiation is necessary.”

“So, this Go board is Hwangbo Se-ga and these stones are you and me?”

“Well, it’s similar. I think we need to talk about one principle.”

“There is one principle… … .”

“Yes, I would like to talk about principles that apply in common to you and me.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong laughed at Hanbin’s words.

Life is often said to be like a checkerboard.

Baduk is both life and war. The young Ji-su hopes that the principles of life and war will be applied fairly to each other.

Are you suggesting this to me, a master of the art of painting?

It felt bold, but somehow it felt good.

Hwangbo Man-cheong spoke softly.

“Is it natural for the back wave of the Yangtze River to push the front wave… … .”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked at Han-bin, his voice trailing off.

Hanbin said at that sight.

“Your Majesty, you are not yet the front wave. If you correct yourself like this, you will become the back wave that pushes away the front wave.”

“Haha. I thought you only had the skills to intimidate people, but you also have a talent for adjusting to other people’s moods.”

“Thank you for your kind words. Then, before we talk, let’s set some principles first.”

“You speak first.”

“I hope we can share what we have gained together.”

“We have always been together as the five great families of the North. But what you are saying is that we should stick to that principle. If that is the case, I don’t think there is any need to make another promise.”

“I was talking about my relationship with you, not with Habukpangga.”

“Please make a promise with me, not with your family?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Oh, it’s nice to see you so confident.”

“Because you are young. Then, what you have gained from this great country should be shared, my lord.”

“I promise. I promise you this not from the perspective of Hwangbo Se-ga, but from my personal perspective.”

“thank you.”

“Then shall we start the match in earnest?”

“yes.”

“You must have felt it too.”

“Yes, I felt it.”

Hanbin nodded.

Hwangbo Man-cheong smiled faintly at that sight.

Hanbin also smiled.

The cave itself seemed to be part of a huge machine.

The important thing was that the sound I made was different depending on my position on the board.

Hanbin and Hwangbo Mancheong had to solve the mystery of this organization by following the sound.

Hanbin and Hwangbo Mancheong carefully began to place stones on the floor.

Ting, ting.

The sound of stones being placed tickled my ears like the sound of a musical instrument.

How much time has passed?

Hwangbo Man-cheong said.

“Do you understand?”

“I don’t know.”

Hanbin shook his head. This was half true.

He was not as knowledgeable about baduk as Hwangbo Mancheong, nor did he have a deep knowledge of the game of Go.

However, it was thanks to memories from my previous life that I was able to provide assistance like this.

What Hanbin could rely on now was experience and skilled intuition.

That feeling was telling me that Hwangbo Mancheong’s method was right.

Hwangbo Man-cheong smiled brightly at Hanbin’s appearance of adjusting his position without panicking.

“You just have to place the stone where I say.”

“All right.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong threw a stone and shouted.

stroke.

“Three, three.”

Hanbin quickly placed a stone on the floor where Hwangbo Mancheong had spoken.

Ting.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes.

The sound from the place where Hwangbo Man-cheong placed the stone and the place where Han Bin placed the stone were the same.

At that moment, a strange sound was heard from somewhere.

Knock knock!

The floor began to shake.

Hwangbo Man-cheong said.

“Continue. Seven, ten.”

“Yes, sir.”

Whoosh.

Ting.

“That’s correct. Who on earth taught you that secret technique?”

“Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me.”

“But still, tell me.”

“I taught myself.”

“her.”

“Didn’t I tell you? I told you that you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you.”

Hanbin laughed awkwardly.

Hanbin’s words were sincere.

Because the Dragon Scale Sword Technique floating in the air was my master.

Hwangbo Man-cheong asked with his eyes narrowed as if he still hadn’t given up.

“I don’t believe in self-study, but if you say you learned it from Sacheondangga, I can understand to some extent. But I haven’t heard that Sacheondangga taught the techniques to Habukpengga… … .”

“Even to you, elder, this doesn’t seem like a secret technique of the Sacheondang family, does it?”

“Well, it looks like that.”

“Please continue, sir.”

“From now on, we have to take pictures of four places at the same time. I take two, you take two. Can you do it?”

“Yes, I will try.”

Hanbin nodded.

Thanks to his 100% accuracy, Hanbin was able to accurately hit anything he could get his hands on.

It didn’t matter if I was asked to guess four at once instead of two.

Ting. Ting.

The sound continued to echo from the floor.

How much time has passed?

Suddenly the cave began to twist.

Knock knock.

It felt like the floor was spinning.

Hanbin looked into Hwangbo Mancheong’s eyes.

He opened his eyes wide, as if he had not expected this change.

Hwangbo Man-cheong said.

“From now on, you have to do four dots, so I’ll call out the numbers in advance and count them.”

“All right.”

“If you count… … . I’ll put four, five. One, two, three!”

Whoosh!

Ting.

… … Ting.

In an instant, the Go board was filled with stones placed by Hanbin and Hwangbo Mancheong.

At the same time, a louder sound than ever before began to resonate from the floor.

Knock knock.

The floor slowly turned and then stopped.

Bam.

Hanbin opened his eyes wide.

As the floor stopped spinning, a passage appeared on one side of the wall.

Hanbin said.

“Let’s go.”

“… … .”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked at Han-bin without saying anything.

Hanbin tilted his head at that gaze.

“Did you know?”

“What are you talking about, my lord?”

“You’re saying there’s a secret space here?”

“How would I have known? It just happened to happen while playing Go.”

“Is it true that your master is Hong Chil-gae?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Are you perhaps one of the hidden masters of the Gupaebang?”

“No. He is the youngest of the Habuk Pang family.”

“Haha, even if it was just a coincidence, I’m still confused by how it matched up like this.”

“Shouldn’t we look inside first?”

“I see. I’ll take the lead. It might be dangerous, so you stay back.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong took the lead and grabbed the scabbard on his waist.

Hanbin also caught Wol-ah while guarding the rear.

After passing through the narrow passage, a fairly wide space appeared.

I was a little nervous as I walked through the passage, but thankfully nothing happened.

Hanbin asked as he looked around the space.

“Was there a space like this in Hwangbo Se-ga?”

“This is my first time seeing this place. I probably wouldn’t have found it without your help.”

“No way.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have had to bring the old man from Sacheondangga to get through.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong smiled brightly as he looked at Han Bin.

Perhaps it was a compliment to Hanbin’s 100% accuracy skills.

Hanbin knew too.

Judging from the way Hwangbo Man-cheong solved the problem, it seemed possible to unlock it if several people took turns throwing stones accurately.

The problem was that the lock wouldn’t release when the weight exceeded a certain level. Because of this, there couldn’t be multiple people throwing the stone.

At most, three people had to solve this organ-forming technique, but since Sacheon Dangga was the only one with such precision and speed, Hwangbo Mancheong’s words made sense.

The wide space in front was connected to another space.

If you combine all the spaces, it looks like a large maze.

It was when Hanbin and Hwangbo Mancheong were passing the third room.

A groan was heard from somewhere.

Yeah.

Hanbin muffled his footsteps at the strange sound.

Hanbin glanced to the side and sent a signal to Hwangbo Mancheong.

He said that he would take the lead.

He may be a master of the art of painting, but when it comes to stealth, he is no match for Hanbin.

Hanbin quickly used the Yongrin Sword Technique.

‘Lightning strike.’

‘Begging is the 18 steps.’

Hanbin disappeared with the sound of the floor scraping.

Sasa-sak.

Hwangbo Man-cheong clicked his tongue at the sight.

I had been watching from afar, but seeing it up close, the movements were truly extraordinary.

Hwangbo Man-cheong clenched his fists as he looked at Han-bin, forgetting that he was in an unfamiliar space.

‘Who would be a good person to give to that guy?’

* * *

It was difficult to find the main character of the groan in the maze-like space.

Fortunately, there were no traps in the middle of the maze.

Then again a sound was heard from somewhere.

“Ugh… … .”

Hanbin crossed the maze carefully.

As the sound got closer, Hanbin slowed down.

At the same time, my heart started beating.

It seemed like there was something in front of Hanbin that would turn the Hwangbo family and the Gangbuk Odae family upside down.
