The Nature of Possession - The Nature of Possession chapter 157

157 – EP.7 Namgung Sega-4

***

Inho sighed in relief as he left the room at Namgunghyeon’s quiet order to celebrate guests.

It’s because I wasn’t used to being in the same space with an unmanned person with a high level of retardation.

Just as Namgung-hyeon said, In-ho was killing time walking around the garden.

It was because it seemed like it would be boring to go back to the guest room.

“Is there anywhere to sit?”

He looked around to sit down and get some fresh air.

Coincidentally, there was a stone hewn to sit comfortably on the other side of the garden, so he sat down.

I felt the touch of moderately hard stone.

Just in time for a cool breeze to blow, Inho closed his eyes and enjoyed his leisure time.

Just as Namgung-hyeon boasted and as In-ho saw as he came, the garden was well decorated.

A well-maintained garden that is neither too freewheeling nor too artificial.

“I think I was too stereotyped.”

When he heard the name ‘Namgung’, Inho originally thought of martial arts sites he had seen in the world.

To him, ‘Namgoong’ was an image that was somewhat unlucky and full of a sense of good people.

So, I thought that Namgoonghyeon might be that kind of person, but when I heard the conversation with Soyu Namgung, he reflected on his judgment of people based on his short insight.

Well, in the first place, it was far from the image of ‘Namgung’ that Namgung Soyou is also familiar with.

“Master was reluctant to talk about family, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the family head.”

In-ho wondered if her father had isolated her from the rest of the family.

However, judging from the reaction of Namgoonghyeon and the servants, it seems that she was loved enough.

‘Of course, I don’t know if that love was transmitted.’

One thing that surprised her upon entering this dimension was that her teacher, Namgung Soyou, had a completely different personality from the Namgung Soyou she knew.

It is doubtful whether Namgung Soyou, the heavenly demon who is confident, full of ambition, and sometimes arrogant, and Namgung Soyou, who is impatient, has low self-esteem, and is full of self-abasement beyond humility, are indeed the same person.

Also, he was very curious about the reason why Soyou Namgung, who always talks about justice and the duty of the Murim people, became the heavenly horse who insists on eradicating the Murim people.

“It’s like my death.”

Certainly, the Heavenly Demon said [I lost my name because of martial arts].

Having lost a disciple he cherished, of course he would lose affection for the things involved.

So, how and who will die?

Inho deepened his thoughts.

In-ho isn’t weak enough to be beaten by a bunch of idiots.

There is no force that has bought grudge right now.

“Then Sapa…?”

What immediately comes to mind is Sapa.

“But, claiming that Moorim was erased just because he was killed by Sapa is too sudden.”

It’s like setting your house on fire because you hit your toe on the threshold.

“Something is said to be happening in Moorim and Mu Gong… If you think about it, it might not be my death. It could be that something else happens after I die.”

I think the most plausible hypothesis would be that Soyou’s personality gradually changed as several incidents happened, so Inho nodded his head in agreement.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden sound from behind, he might have been in better shape.

“Onabani residence?”

In-ho jumped up in surprise at the young voice he heard from behind.

– Kyat Hou

Letting out a strange scream, In-ho quickly looked back and realized that a child was staring at him.

“…uh?”

It looked like a child, but it was a strangely familiar face.

Inho pressed his beating heart with his hand.

“you…?”

“My name is Soyeon Namgung.”

Hearing the name of the child who introduced himself and bowed to his belly button, In-ho realized that something was coming.

Well, I visited to celebrate my birthday, but it was more NG to think that we would not run into each other.

“……”

In-ho looked at Namgung So-yeon gently, and Namgung So-yeon, perhaps thinking it was a snowball fight, opened her eyes and made eye contact.

The beating of his heart, which had been pounding at the first sight of Namgung So-yeon, gradually returned to its original place.

I was in such a bad shape the other day, that my tension gradually eased to the point where I felt ashamed of worrying about PTSD.

“Who is Onabani?”

As In-ho twisted and stretched his rigid body, Namgung So-yeon asked,

“Me? I’m Inho. My name is Kang Inho.”

After regaining his composure, In-ho replied to So-yeon.

“Kang Ino. Kang Ino.”

So-yeon heard In-ho’s name and repeated it several times.

In-ho thought about correcting her pronunciation, but stopped because she seemed to be being too hard on her.

“This is my mother’s garden, so why are you here?”

Soyeon Namgung raised her finger and pointed at Inho.

“The head of the family… No, your dad told me to look at the garden.”

In-ho said, bending his knees and leveling eyes with So-yeon.

Certainly, the eyes were the same as those of the innocent So-yeon we met in Hanam.

‘Why did this kid change so much later…’

When he remembered Namgung So-yeon, who had suddenly gone mad and attacked Heukcheongyo, In-ho’s mood sank.

“Oh, Ino. Aren’t you in a good mood?”

“no it’s okay.”

So-yeon asked, placing her fern-like hand on In-ho’s cheek, and In-ho smiled and shook his head.

In-ho looked at So-yeon, who was looking at him with bright eyes, for a moment, then stood up.

I felt like I shouldn’t be with her all the time.

“Where?”

“I’m done watching, so I’m going back to my room.”

“Don’t go. Let’s pretend.”

Soyeon grabs the sleeve.

Just as In-ho was in trouble because he couldn’t bear to let go of the child, he heard a voice calling him from the other side.

“What are you doing?”

was owned

“Oh, I was just… looking around the garden. And here…”

Soyou turned his gaze to Inho’s direction.

There, I saw my cousin growing up in infinite brightness.

“……”

Soyou and Soyeon faced each other, and the confrontation lasted for a while.

“Let’s go. Now that we have greeted the head of the family, it’s time to go to the family home.”

It was Soyou who averted his eyes first. She passed So-yeon and said to In-ho.

“Oh, yes, yes.”

Perhaps noticing the sinking mood of the teacher, In-ho said hastily.

“I’ll go now. Let’s play next time.”

In-ho smiled and said to So-yeon, who obediently let go of the sleeve she was holding in her hand even though she had a sad expression on her face.

Following the teacher, In-ho looked back at So-yeon several times, and So-yeon continued to look at him until In-ho disappeared as a dot.
