Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1504



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1504. Hey… … I said it’s magic power.

When asked by her daughter, “What kind of person are you in love with?”, Jin Gwa-wol recalled her meeting with him.

At first he seemed to be of unsound mind.

Of course, as time passed, the strange words and actions decreased, but it was still far from normal.

“He is a sick man.”

Jin Gwa-wol concluded with that one word.

And it was a truth that could only be told to family.

“Are you sick? Where are you going?”

“There is a problem with your head.”

“Head? Is it something like amnesia?”

In Christie’s view, no one was as healthy as Yeon-jeok-ha.

As a result, no other suitable diagnosis came to mind besides amnesia.

“It’s not that… … there’s something wrong with your mind.”

“Are you out of your mind?”

When Christie showed interest, Jin Gwa-wol became more certain and said, “No, that won’t do.”

“He is not a normal person. He lives thinking he is the main character of a martial arts drama.”

Jin Gwa-wol even taught him that he carried a house number instead of an ID card.

“He said he didn’t even graduate from elementary school… … But he’s so smart… … . It seems like he doesn’t remember or has distorted memories. But seeing as he doesn’t understand a single word of English… … it seems real.”

“English is difficult even after graduating from college.”

“Aside from that English… … I couldn’t even understand basic things like TV, dramas, or cell phones. I didn’t even know what year it was.”

“Oh! Really? It looks fine.”

“Isn’t it said that you can know the depth of ten feet of water, but not the heart of a one-foot person?”

“I don’t think that’s the right word to use in this situation.”

“As long as the meaning is understood, that guy is completely different from his appearance. I heard he wanders the world to meet the Nine Heavenly Women. Doesn’t that say everything?”

“Are you a Nine Heavenly Women? That’s a bit serious, isn’t it?”

“What I’m saying is.”

Jin Gwa-wol nodded.

After seeing my daughter’s negative reaction to Yeonjeokha, I finally feel relieved.

“Where is your home?”

“He said it was the Seokgyeongjang of Hapbi Yeogang-hyeon… … . Seokgyeongjang already burned down 57 years ago. So either he’s lying, or he doesn’t even know where his house is. The boss and I think it’s the latter. But he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would lie.”

“That’s interesting.”

“Interest? Just thinking about that guy gives me a headache. I went to a brothel last night… … No, I shouldn’t have said that.”

“Why? What happened?”

Jin Gwa-wol, who was glancing at her daughter’s profile, reluctantly pretended to say so.

“I was taken to the police station after being forced to do work by a bar owner. If I had been even one day late with my ID… … I would have been called to the police station too.”

“You got the job done?”

“It seems that he mixed mulberry with alcohol and gave it to her. She was caught by the police who came to crack down on prostitution while she was at a motel and was taken straight to the police station.”

“No, isn’t that something that only happens to women? It must have been your first time at a bar, so what made you believe that and just accept everything they gave you?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know who in my head told me to eat it.”

Jin Gwa-wol, who thought Yeon-jeok-ha was completely crazy, said whatever he wanted.

“dad.”

“why?”

“Did the doctor diagnose that person as mentally ill?”

“You don’t necessarily have to see a doctor to find out.”

“But that’s just a guess. So I think it would be better not to say that. Besides, that person was my father’s savior… … .”

When his choleric daughter suddenly started talking like a moral teacher, Jin Guowue looked at her again.

“Look ahead when you drive.”

“No, I was just wondering if she was my daughter. Did she get brainwashed or something in the waiting room?”

“They say that when you go through hardships, you become more mature.”

“… … .”

Jin Gwa-wol was speechless at the sight of her daughter suddenly becoming so mature.

Hongryeon Sanghoe staff quarters.

Late one night, while watching TV, a knock came down on the door and I opened it.

Ryu Cheong-woon said with a bashful smile, holding a large plastic bag in one hand.

“I’d like to have a drink with Brother Yeon. Is that okay?”

“Oh, come in.”

As Yeonjeok-ha opened the door wide, Ryu Cheong-un went inside and sat down.

Soon, beer and snacks were placed on a small table.

He opened a can of beer and sipped it in silence.

Civilization is only new at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes just a part of life.

That’s what modern civilization was like for Yeonjeokha.

Since he was originally a very smart person, he rarely did anything that stood out.

Ryu Cheong-woon said this while looking at Yeon Jeok-ha, who couldn’t take her eyes off the TV screen.

“Brother Yeon, is TV fun? It seems like you watch TV until dawn. Do you get some sleep?”

“Someone said on TV that you can sleep as much as you want when you’re dead.”

“Wow, bro, isn’t that a TV addiction?”

“If you don’t watch it during the day, what’s the addiction? You have to watch it during the day to be addicted.”

“Brother, don’t you watch it all night? If you do, it really goes away. Watch it moderately.”

“Nothing helps us understand the world like TV.”

“That’s an excuse for TV addicts. Do you know what educated people say about TV?”

“What are you saying?”

“It’s an idiot box. People’s minds become rigid when they only watch TV. They say that if everything is shown through images, they don’t think creatively.”

“I don’t mind watching more. I think watching one movie is better than reading ten books.”

“Oh my, bro. You’re really addicted.”

“Hey, I’m a total idiot.”

“Oh, yes, yes. Are you sure you don’t mind? But I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“By any chance, my brother… … . Hey, no. How could that be?”

“Stop talking to yourself. You idiot.”

Ryu Cheong-woon, who was teased by Yeon Jeok-ha, shouted, “I don’t know!”

“It’s not like Ms. Christie’s return had anything to do with you, brother?”

“Me? How?”

“That’s why. On the day that you were yelling, Ms. Christie came back… … I asked just in case.”

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘When the crow flies, the pear falls?’ Think of it that way.”

“I think so too, but… … .”

Ryu Cheong-woon trailed off.

When I think back to the look in Yeonjeokha’s eyes that I saw this morning, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Okay then.”

Ryu Cheong-woon’s doubts were lightly dismissed.

Ryu Cheong-woon, who was gulping down his beer as if he was frustrated, asked as if confirming.

“Brother, is it true that you really don’t have dimensionality?”

“The vice president measured it with a portable measuring device, but it wasn’t there. If you still can’t get it, you can measure it again.”

“So I prepared.”

Along with the words, Ryu Cheong-woon took out a black pad slightly larger than a wallet from his bosom.

It was the genetic variation meter (MDM).

As he turned on the switch, he held out one hand with a sullen face.

The palm of Yeonjeokha’s hand was placed on the pad.

The measured value was zero this time again.

Ryu Cheong-woon, who was staring at the LCD screen, muttered with a dejected expression.

“Haa! It’s really 0. You’re not a mutant.”

“I don’t lie. If I lie, my magical powers will decrease, so I’ve been doing it for a long time.”

Ryu Cheong-woon said in disbelief while holding the measuring device.

“Law? You sound like a Taoist priest.”

“I am not a Taoist, but I trained at Oryong Palace.”

“Oryong Palace? Where is that?”

“It’s in Mt. Mudang.”

“Brother, are you interested in that kind of thing? What kind of thing is that in this day and age? They’re building a manned base on the moon and all.”

“What does the moon have to do with enlightenment?”

“In a world where science is so advanced, how can you talk about attaining enlightenment? If others heard it, they would laugh at you.”

“Attaining enlightenment is also a science.”

“That’s not science, that’s fraud, a scam.”

At that moment, Yeon-eok, who was hurt in his heart, couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Hey, that’s like saying I’m a fraud. What kind of fraud did I commit!”

Although Yeonjeokha got angry, Ryu Cheongwoon, who was drunk, did not back down.

“It’s not that you’re a fraud, hyung… … . It’s that the Taoists are frauds. That’s why all the Taoist temples have gone out of business and only a few remain. The Taoist temple in Mt. Mudang is now just a tourist attraction. You should come to your senses and stop looking at reality.”

“I’m also faithful to reality?”

“Why would someone like that talk about the power of the law? They don’t even exist in this world anyway.”

“There is no legal power in the world?”

“Yes, if you have it, show it to me. You can’t show it to me, right? Why? Because you don’t have it. You make excuses, but the result is always the same. Why can’t you show it to me? Because you don’t have it.”

“Who said I can’t show you? Follow me.”

Yeonjeok-ha jumped up from her seat, opened the door, and went out.

Ryu Cheong-un followed closely behind him, breathing heavily as if he would not back down.

I walked to the backyard of the Hongryeon Store where I was dating.

In the backyard, there were piles of abandoned plastic liquor boxes here and there.

Yeonjeokha put his hand into Mahadam and took out a bundle of talismans.

“Let’s see what’s left. The Black Cloud Talisman (黑雲萬里符) won’t be visible at all in the middle of the night… … . The Frost Talisman (霹靂符) is a bit noisy… … . Something quiet but fiery… … . That’s right! In times like this, the Flame Talisman (火焰符) is just right.”

Yeonjeokha took out a talisman and turned her head to Ryu Cheong-un.

“Are you ready to see the power of law?”

“Oh yes, I’ve been waiting for you for a while.”

A sneer appeared on Ryu Cheong-woon’s face as he looked away for a moment to do something else.

Yeonjeokha flicked the talisman lightly against a pile of plastic liquor boxes.

“Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens, I only ask that you use your divine power to reveal the flames!”

The talisman that had been fluttering around suddenly landed on a pile of plastic liquor boxes.

Hwarururuk!

Immediately afterwards, a red flame burst out from the plastic liquor box.

The fire quickly spread to other boxes due to the strong wind that happened to blow.

Yeonjeokha said with a proud face.

“Did you see? This is the power of law.”

At that moment, Ryu Cheong-woon shouted with a surprised expression on his face.

“Brother! Are you crazy?”

He quickly took out his cell phone without even looking at Yeonjeokha’s face.

“Hello? Is this the Fire Department? This is Hongryeon Store on Jo Yang Jung Road in Jang Wan Gu! Yes, that’s right. That Hongryeon Store. There’s a fire in the yard where we store supplies. Please come quickly! Quickly!”

Then, without even looking at Yeonjeokha, he ran into Hongryeon Store and shouted.

“Fire! Fire! Get up!”

I belatedly ran to the Yeonjeokhado Hongryeon Store, feeling sorry for the others.

Soon after, the Hongryeon Store employees woke up and ran out carrying fire extinguishers and water jugs.

Although the crew rushed to put out the fire, it was not easily put out.

Rather, it grew stronger in the strong wind.

At the moment of crisis, fire trucks arrived with loud sirens.

The fire was extinguished, leaving only a pile of plastic liquor boxes burned, thanks to the quick response of the fire department.

Fire investigators rummaged through the melted, lumpy mass of plastic.

The goal is to find the cause of the fire.

One of the fire investigators who was on the prowl came to find the first reporter, Ryu Cheong-un, and asked him.

“Was there anything that could start a fire? Someone throwing away a cigarette butt or something.”

“There was no such thing. And our company has a separate smoking room. Even if they do smoke outside, they do it near the building. No employee comes this far out to smoke.”

“Hmm! There are no power lines around, so it can’t be due to a current leak… … . Anyway, I understand.”

The fire investigator bowed and turned away.

After a while, fire trucks and firefighters began to ebb away like the tide.

Ak Gang-rok, who was smoking a cigarette with a tired face, stubbed out his remaining cigarette and approached Ryu Cheong-woon.

“What happened?”

“That’s… … I was drinking with Yeon-hyung and came out to get some fresh air… … When I saw the fire, I called 119 and informed the staff.”

Yoo Cheong-woon hid the fact that the arsonist was his enemy.

If you think about it, it’s all because he asked to show his magical powers.

“Really? You didn’t do that in the dressing room, did you?”

“Ah… … I guess so. Do you think I would have done something that would have been discovered just by looking at the CCTV on the street?”

“Right? Why did the fire suddenly start? Anyway, you did a good job. If it weren’t for you, the business would have burned down.”

After praising Ryu Cheong-un’s achievements, Ak Gang-rok returned to his quarters in a hushed manner.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been watching from afar, slowly approached Ryu Cheong-woon, who was left alone.

“You worked hard. But why is the wind blowing like that all of a sudden? If it weren’t for you, I would have been in real trouble.”

“Ha! I don’t know what kind of trick it is, but next time, please be careful about when and where you do it.”

Ryu Cheong-woon shot back coldly and turned around without even listening to the answer.

Yeonjeokha spoke weakly to him as he walked away.

“Hey… … I said it was magic.”
