Episode 188. The House of Four Sides (8)

“It is beneficial to divide those who are to be killed and those who are to be exploited appropriately.”

“Are you using it?”

“Sometimes keeping someone alive is a greater burden to the enemy.”

“You’re saying that it’s better to keep them alive, but I don’t understand.”

“If you look at the military strategy books written by the ancient sages, you will find questions like this.”

“What question?”

“Where should I cut to weaken the enemy’s power in war?”

“A heart that can take your breath away in an instant? Or a head that can’t even think?”

Seolhwa pointed to her chest and head as if imagining it in her head.

Hanbin waved his hand at that sight.

“That wasn’t the answer given in the military strategy book.”

“Then where is it?”

“The most vulnerable part was the legs.”

“The bridge… … .”

Seolhwa blinked her eyes and trailed off.

At that sight, Hanbin continued his explanation in a quiet voice.

“You can’t abandon your comrades, so you’ll have to support them. Then how will the soldiers who support them fight? And what about their stamina? There’s a saying that one soldier’s leg can tie up the feet of three of his comrades. Two people support them, and one stands guard.”

“Oh, I see.”

Seolhwa’s eyes lit up as if she had gained enlightenment.

At the same time, he pulled out the blood-curdling sword.

Sling.

“Please stay here for a moment. I’ll be back quickly.”

After finishing speaking, Seolhwa disappeared from Hanbin’s sight.

Hanbin looked in the direction where he disappeared as if he was dumbfounded.

It took a few coughs for the snow to reappear.

Hanbin didn’t ask Seolhwa what she was doing.

The bloodstains on the bloodstained sword told us what Seolhwa had been doing.

Perhaps the leg of the black man that Hanbin dealt with… … .

While Hanbin was imagining Seolhwa’s sword swing, Seolhwa asked.

“Why don’t you ask?”

“Didn’t you come here wearing a bloodthirsty sword?”

“Oh, how did you know?”

“Then the bridge of the border guard… … .”

“Not people, but rats. Originally, I was going to use rabbits in empty houses, but… … .”

Seolhwa trailed off.

His confident expression gradually faded and he lowered his head.

Hanbin tilted his head at the unexpected words.

Suddenly what is a rat and what is a rabbit?

Hanbin, who had been walking a few steps, spoke softly.

“I’m not trying to blame you, just speak freely.”

Seolhwa finally raised her head at Hanbin’s soft voice.

“I originally wanted to hurt the rabbit, but I felt bad for it. It can’t even eat, so what if it gets hurt? That’s why I found a rat.”

“A rat?”

“Yes, quite a few. I had wounded rats running around everywhere.”

“Hmm, Jura… … . What’s the reason?”

When Hanbin asked with curious eyes, Seolhwa continued speaking with an uncertain expression.

“I think what Confucius wants… … is not to simply burden the enemy.”

“Snow White, do you know what I want?”

“… … .”

“Just, speak comfortably.”

“Isn’t it confusing?”

Hanbin laughed silently at Seolhwa’s answer.

Seol-hwa, as expected from a super special agent, perfectly understood the meaning of this early operation.

“Thank you for the decoration.”

“Decoration?”

“Do you know what determines the price of food?”

“Isn’t it delicious?”

“Of course it’s the taste. But that’s the most basic thing, and what makes a dish worth one nyang or ten nyangs different is not the taste but the decoration.”

“Decoration?”

“If a famous master floats a flower in clear water, the price will increase dozens of times.”

“Then you know what I’m thinking, Your Majesty.”

“The rat you wounded will wander around the entire neighborhood, leaving behind a scent of blood, so the enemy will be distracted. I think what you did was a great decoration for this mission, Seolhwa. Even if it was a little too much decoration… … .”

Hanbin laughed and trailed off.

I omitted the point that time is more important.

Hanbin liked Seolhwa’s creative idea.

Maybe the story would have been the perfect slaughterhouse.

Hanbin, who was continuing his thoughts, tilted his head.

Could a tale of compassion for a rabbit be the perfect swindler?

Seolhwa was waiting blankly for Hanbin’s next words.

Hanbin continued talking with a kind face at that sight.

“Anyway, the conclusion is that you did well, Seolhwa.”

“lol.”

As Seolhwa smiled brightly, Hanbin spoke softly.

“Start again.”

Sasa-sak.

At the same time, Hanbin quickly disappeared.

Now the real harvest began.

* * *

It took quite some time to defeat the enemy silently.

Usually, when assassins or assassins organized a group, they were divided into a guard team and a death squad.

Compared to the warning team consisting of only first-class Germans, the death squad that tries to cut off the opponent’s lifeline is composed of experts.

A little more care was needed.

However, they could not escape Hanbin’s reach.

The results are now before our eyes.

[Check the knot with the dragon’s eye.]

[You have acquired the Human-level Gu-gyeol-gak]

[Personality – gold, shell.]

While filling all the basic requirements, you also obtain one level requirement.

With Seolhwa having defeated the first-class Germans, Hanbin was now left with two top-tier Germans to deal with.

Hanbin looked at the black-clad man who he thought was at his peak.

At the same time, a desperate method was used.

Hanbin’s body leapt forward like an arrowhead.

The blue aura that had formed on the moon pierced the opponent’s heart.

“omg!”

The opponent let out a low scream and collapsed.

dump.

At that moment, the other black man next to him turned his head.

Hanbin drew a horizontal line across Wol-ah without any hesitation.

At the same time, the head of the man in black left his torso.

dump.

Degururu.

As the head rolled to the floor, the scent of blood began to spread on the eerie wind.

However, Hanbin looked into the sky as if nothing had happened and checked the score.

[Check the knot with the dragon’s eye.]

[You have acquired the Human-level Gu-gyeol Seon (蝉)]

[Personality – Gold, Shell, Lizard]

Now that we have three ranks, we still have a long way to go.

Hanbin’s hands were merciless this time.

The criteria were simple.

It was the very type of blood-scented scent that wafted from their body odor.

Judging by the scent of blood wafting from the air, it was clear that quite a few of Jang Yun-hyeon’s people had just died at the hands of the two Germans who had taken their lives.

In the world of martial arts, there is no one who has not shed a drop of blood on their hands, but there was no need to keep alive and exploit those who reduced those who did not know martial arts to a handful of blood.

Those who could use it were those who had already subdued the demon blood.

Hanbin looked around.

Now, let out some noise and eliminate the enemy.

A master at the peak of his powers wouldn’t have noticed, but a master at the highest level would have noticed Hanbin’s presence.

But the master of Hwagyeong did not appear.

If it’s one of the Eight Immortals, then the opponent is definitely a master of Hwagyeong.

But it doesn’t show up?

Are you leaving this place to your subordinates while you take care of other important matters?

Or is it a trap?

Well, either way would be fine.

Hanbin now had to deal with all the masters except one of the Eight Immortals.

Hanbin silenced his presence again.

Sasa Sak.

It was when Hanbin was approaching his target while making no sound.

I felt something coming from quite a distance away.

Hanbin raised the corners of his mouth, feeling like he would get something more important than a wedding tonight.

‘The head is finally showing… … . How lucky.’

Hanbin, secretly delighted, released his hiding place and slowly walked towards his goal.

* * *

Cheongyeon, who had been waiting for the enemy to come out of the guest house, tilted her head.

Because the scent of blood was carried by the wind.

It was a moment when I wanted to send a signal to the surroundings because I had a suspicious feeling.

A rabbit hopped past her.

A rabbit running while bleeding.

It looked like a rabbit raised at home, but it seemed like it lost its owner and came out injured.

Perhaps the scent of blood was coming from that rabbit.

Cheongyeon sighed.

“phew…….”

It was a little boring today.

A drinking party was still going on inside the fence of the inn far away.

No matter how much Cheongyeon thought about it, she couldn’t understand it.

Even if he didn’t know he was being watched, he would have definitely heard news of the epidemic that had broken out in Jangwoonhyeon.

But why are you drinking like that?

There, the leader of the Red Blood Tiger Squad, the Habuk Pengga Sa Gongja, was hanging around there.

It was a group of crazy people who could melt into poison.

The song they were singing could be heard all the way here.

The song of the sword that everyone who is a martial artist knows.

A comical yet sad song about a man who loses his own head to the sword he took up to pacify the Central Plains.

It was a song that soldiers participating in war sang to relieve tension.

Cheongyeon looked up at the sky, not paying any attention to their song.

Cheongyeon looked at the moon and roughly calculated the time.

There is only half an hour left until dawn.

After half an hour had passed, it would have been right to expand the encirclement a little and watch.

The reason why Cheongyeon, the leader of the Black Water Corps, was so obsessed was simple.

He wanted to show some results before his master, Cheon-dok, returned.

The master has gone out of Jangunhyeon for a while.

There were three days until he returned.

Three days… … .

If you think it’s long, it’s long, and if you think it’s short, it’s time that passes in the blink of an eye.

Cheongyeon took the line to give instructions to the other agents.

The principle was that when you pulled on a rope made by twisting a few strands of silk, a small bell would ring in the direction of a distant outpost.

One ring was a signal to change shifts, and two rings were a signal to announce the appearance of the enemy.

She was just about to pull the string.

A whistle was heard from somewhere.

Wheezing, wheezing!

The short whistle sound, like a coachman calling his horse, gradually changed.

It even had a strange melody.

A melody that touches the heartstrings.

It strangely blends in with the song of the sword sung in the guest house.

“what?”

I narrowed my eyes and looked around, and two monsters wearing nightgowns were walking towards me.

But the momentum was unusual.

Cheongyeon suddenly had a strange thought.

I was the one who was being surrounded, and looking at the current situation, I really felt like I was being surrounded.

Cheongyeon quickly pulled the rope.

But the line came without any resistance.

Whoosh!

Cheongyeon opened her eyes wide.

The line is broken.

It was a rope made by twisting several strands of silk.

It was a weapon of the Black Water Corps that could never be cut by any sword.

How many of the top martial arts masters have had their necks hung by that rope from Cheonjamsa?

The rope made of that silkworm was sharper and stronger than any sword.

But that line broke!

The problem was that when the string broke, the drop hanging on her side didn’t move at all.

Cheongyeon, who had thought that far, suddenly felt fear creep up her spine.

When fear takes over your mind, it usually manifests in two ways.

Either run away or charge at your opponent without knowing who he is.

In Cheongyeon’s case, it was the latter.

Cheongyeon quickly took off his gloves and ran towards the enemy.

In an instant, the blue poison in her hand grew stronger and stronger, emitting a faint scent of poison.

A normal person would lose consciousness just from the poisonous scent she gave off.

However, the person she was facing now was none other than Hanbin.

Cheongyeon instinctively shouted.

“Who are you!”

“We don’t seem to be friends? But we’re not enemies either… … .”

Hanbin, wearing a nightgown, waved his hand.

Judging from Hanbin’s attitude, it felt like they were on a picnic.
