Episode 196. The Living Buddha of Gangbuk (1)

Will I ever have the chance to encounter a demon with such evil aura again?

It was clear that it would be unusual.

The important thing is when Hanbin is not around.

Or, if we had encountered the Germans in an unexpected situation, things would not have ended as they did.

If Hanbin’s prediction was right, he didn’t know what would happen next.

The Red Blood Tigers are Hanbin’s subordinates.

It had to have the power to match.

He had to become a support group that he could rely on, not a burden.

Now, they had to deal with not only their opponent’s weapons but also their poison.

It’s not like there was no resistance to poison at all.

The problem was when I met a formidable German like I am now.

If you can overcome even this strong poison, it would be like obtaining five poison talismans of the skill level.

It was clear that he would reach a state somewhere in between what is roughly called a state of being impervious to all poison.

Hanbin took a deep breath.

He pushed the poison that had spread around deep into his lungs.

Seol-hwa, who was standing next to him, imitated Han-bin and took a deep breath of the poison that had spread around her.

As I took a deep breath, a change occurred in my skills.

[Skills]

[… … ]

[Poison: twenty-five]

The attribute indicating resistance to poison was increased by five.

Phrases that appear at the same time.

[One step closer to becoming incurable.]

It was just as Hanbin expected.

Others will likewise gain tolerance to the poison.

Of course, Hanbin and the others were not the same.

The problem was that while Hanbin was naturally detoxified, the detoxification process remained for others.

I glanced over and saw that Seolhwa was also taking a deep breath, following Hanbin.

At the same time, Sulwha’s skin also began to change.

After a few blinks, the poison quickly spread.

The masked Red Blood Tiger Squad members were also poisoned.

Whether you just inhale it or try to avoid it, you get addicted anyway.

The Red Blood Tiger Squad members also ran towards Hanbin with bright faces.

Imoo-myeong, who had a beard, came running, revealing his pale face.

Everyone is addicted.

Among them, Sim Mi-ho, who was the first to become addicted, shouted urgently.

“It’s poison, it’s poison!”

As Sim Mi-ho shouted, the Red Blood Tigers behind him also shouted along.

“It’s poison!”

It’s about sharing information as you normally would.

They pulled the strings holding the mask in place tighter.

Sim Mi-ho, standing in front of Han Bin, asked.

“My, my lord, uh, what should I do? Should I stab this into the vein?”

“Wait a minute, Lieutenant Shim.”

As Hanbin waved his hand, So Daeseop, who was next to him, intervened urgently.

“Oh, not yet? What do you mean, my lord?”

“First, prepare the antidote.”

So Dae-seop shouted at Han Bin’s words.

“Everyone get ready! Get ready to detox, get ready to detox!”

Starting with them, all the members of the Red Blood Tiger Squad held their ornaments and pressed the home button.

Clank, clank.

Sharp needles protruded from the ornaments.

So Dae-seop, who was holding the jewelry tightly, asked in a trembling voice.

“Hey, are you going to stab me in the blood vessel now?”

“Not yet. Just wait a moment.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked around at their condition.

If you hit it with rice, it wasn’t cooked yet.

This time, Joho asked.

“Master, not yet?”

Joho’s voice was urgent.

Looking closely, I saw that his face had turned dark.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes at that sight.

‘To that extent?’

The color was a little lighter, but it was still not too bad.

But now it was time to decipher it.

The perception of poison varies from person to person.

If we had delayed a little longer here, we could have lost one of our men.

Now, the word was limit.

Sim Mi-ho asked.

“My lord, is it still here?”

“Listen carefully from now on. The poison has spread too deeply. Now, simply pouring an antidote into the bloodstream is not going to work.”

“Then what should I do?”

Sim Mi-ho was shocked.

The poison has spread deeply?

If that’s the case, then the antidote should have been injected into the bloodstream a long time ago.

But what does this mean?

Why did the lords wait until the poison spread through their bodies?

Sim Mi-ho looked at Han Bin with complicated feelings.

It was the same for all the members.

Then Hanbin shouted.

“Everyone, put the necklace in your chest!”

“Huh? What is that… … .”

Sim Mi-ho opened his eyes wide.

Hanbin continued explaining nonchalantly.

“Put it straight into the heart. Then you can live. Those who can’t will rot from the head down.”

Everyone looked at Hanbin with trembling eyes.

Of course, there were some people who weren’t flustered.

Seol-hwa, who was standing next to him, stabbed the jewelry containing the antidote into her heart without any suspicion.

Joho shouted at the sight of Seolhwa.

“If even Seolhwa is not afraid, how can we serve our lord if we are afraid? I will follow suit!”

Phew!

Joho also injected the antidote according to the story.

At that sight, Jang Sam spoke in a serious voice.

“Johoya, Seolhwa is better than you.”

“Oh, I know.”

Joho answered with his eyes closed, sitting down.

Jang Sam said.

“Okay, then me too… … .”

Phew!

He also stabbed Jang Sam.

Next to them, Sim Mi-ho and So Dae-seop, who had already injected the antidote into their hearts, were sitting cross-legged.

When someone was still hesitating, Hanbin shouted again.

“If you want to live, stab me, now! After a little while, there is no turning back. The Red Tigers who cannot become tigers will not even have their skin left behind.”

“… … .”

The hands of those who hesitated gradually moved towards their chests.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“It is your choice whether to leave behind a tiger skin or a cat skin when you die. My advice ends here.”

The Red Blood Tigers’ eyes changed at Hanbin’s words.

Until recently, they were treated with contempt as third-rate unmanned vehicles.

Sad memories flashed before my eyes.

Someone shouted.

“You have to lose to win! Stab it in!”

“I don’t want to go back. I will follow your orders!”

The rest of the team shouted one word each and injected the antidote into the heart.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was injected with the antidote.

Hanbin looked at them.

After taking a quick look, I noticed that his complexion was gradually returning.

It was clear that the antidote that had spread from the heart to the bloodstream was pressing down on the poison.

It was time for Hanbin to take a breather.

Seolhwa grabbed Hanbin’s sleeve.

I turned my head and looked at her.

Seolhwa had already taken the ornament out of her chest, and her complexion had returned to normal.

“Thank goodness, Seolhwa.”

“But, over there… … .”

“Why is that? Seolhwa?”

“What about Mr. Volcano?”

“Ah, if it’s the Hwasanpa uncle, then the Seo Daehyeop is over there… … .”

Hanbin trailed off.

But, there was no look of panic.

Seo Jae-oh was too late to save her with just the antidote.

Hanbin told Seolhwa to get the remaining antidote and then ran towards Seo Jaeoh.

When I went to where Seo Jae-oh was, I saw a corpse that looked like Cheon-dok a little distance away.

The upper body of the corpse was torn off.

The upper body flew away as if it had been eaten by a thousand-year-old blood wolf.

Judging from the sight just now, it was clearly an explosion.

There is no way he would have committed suicide while under the influence of the True Dragon’s Sword.

It was clear that the reason Cheondok became like this was because of the ban that someone had put up.

The golden rule must have been triggered when life was fading away.

When he lost his strength, he naturally gathered the poison scattered around him, and when his breathing stopped, he burst the poison he had gathered. The method was vicious.

Now the problem was Seo Jae-oh, who was at the forefront.

Hanbin sat Seo Jae-oh down.

I made him sit cross-legged, then went behind him and put my hand on his back.

Seo Jae-oh felt a burning pain all over his body.

I felt like I was roasting rabbit over a campfire.

The pain was felt deep in the bones.

I felt like it would be better to just die.

I thought about biting my tongue and dying.

However, I couldn’t even move my mouth properly.

I felt a warm breath on his back.

For a moment, a refreshing energy flowed down my spine.

At the same time, a voice was heard.

“Good luck, Seo Daehyeop.”

Seo Jae-oh quietly used the Plum Blossom Heart Method, a unique method of the Hwasan faction.

At the same time, Seo Jae-oh’s weak energy accepted Han Bin’s refreshing energy.

Their energies were transformed into a tremendous force, as if they had originally been one.

The enormous energy that surged in like a wave was becoming one with his inner strength and driving away the pain.

As the pain subsided somewhat, a question began to arise in Seo Jae-oh’s mind.

The treatment that Hanbin is currently receiving is something that even his master in the Hwasan faction cannot provide.

It was clearly an innate spirit that came inside him.

Only someone with natural talent could radiate such a refined aura.

Using the innate ability to treat others required absolute sacrifice.

Who in the world would treat others with innate wisdom?

The correct answer would be that there is no one.

This is because innate energy is not something that can be filled after use, but rather something that disappears when used.

In a way, the innate ability was like a life force to the unmanned.

From then on, questions began to pile up in Seo Jae-oh’s head.

The four great Confuciuss who are always anxious about not being able to eat themselves for themselves?

I couldn’t understand this at all.

But instinct, not reason, felt the warmth of his touch.

It was when Seo Jae-oh’s reason and instinct were clashing.

Pain returned to his body again.

what?

For a moment, doubts and pain began to gather in one place.

If the previous pain was like a burning sensation all over my body, the current pain was only a few places hurting.

In some ways, it’s a tolerable state.

It was when Seo Jae-oh was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

The pain was strangely concentrated in one place.

It was his heart.

At that moment, Hanbin’s voice was heard.

“How many did you get?”

Seo Jae-oh had his eyes closed so he didn’t know what it meant.

Then the answer followed.

“Seven outlines.”

“Seven? That’s too many. Just take out five.”

“Five outlines?”

“Okay, just take out five antidotes and put them in.”

“Could it be the chest?”

“Yes, you and the Red Blood Tigers must stab it in the heart to survive. I have now injected all the remaining poison into the heart, so now is the chance to detoxify it.”

“What should I do if I die? I can’t do it without Mr. Volcano… … .”

“You don’t think he’ll die? If you leave him alone, his heart will rot and fall apart, so stab him quickly.”

“Should I split it up and stab it?”

“No, all at once!”

Their conversation almost made Seo Jae-oh scream.

‘You’re not trying to inject that horrible antidote into my heart… … .’

Seo Jae-oh couldn’t continue his thoughts.

Because it suddenly felt like something was stuck in my heart.

Phew!

At the same time, the burning pain in my heart continued.

Seo Jae-oh didn’t even have time to question himself.

Because my consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

Through the blurring consciousness, Hanbin’s last voice was heard.

“Don’t worry, Seolhwa. The Hwasanpa uncle will be fine.”

Hanbin’s words to Seolhwa seemed to be mixed with playfulness.

It was a voice that would normally be annoying.

But today, Hanbin’s voice strangely brought me a sense of stability.

I felt like I could sleep comfortably now.

It was just before I lost consciousness.

Now, all sensation in my limbs had returned.

But then I felt a strange sensation in my ankle.

It felt like someone was holding my ankle.

Seo Jae-oh suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Isn’t there a story that when a grim reaper or ghost takes someone away, they grab them by the ankles first?

As his body grew weaker, Seo Jae-oh began to recall scary stories he had heard as a child.

Seo Jae-oh’s consciousness ended just there.

* * *

Two days later.

Seo Jae-oh opened his eyes with a low groan.

“Okay.”

Contrary to my groaning, my body felt refreshed, as if I had had a good night’s sleep.

Seo Jae-oh looked up at the ceiling cautiously.

“What is this?”

Seo Jae-oh opened his eyes wide.

It was because I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Seo Jae-oh looked up at the ceiling and suddenly his heart started pounding.

Knock knock.

I began to wonder if this might be the afterlife.

Seo Jae-oh turned his head urgently.

I looked to the side and saw someone lying there.

It was completely unrecognizable, as his entire body was wrapped in bandages.
