Chapter 240 – 234+ Ouling, the Village on the Bridge
※R18+ Watch out for gore expressions!
The wave of tranquility is the power of the soul that helps the dead to purify and attain Buddhahood, and gives peace of mind to the living.
Hwanin, who had been told by the Priestess of the Farhist Beast God Church that it was a power that anyone in the spirit world could use, had not found a reason to use Wave of Tranquility until now.
It was because the impression of witnessing the first wave of tranquility and the reaction of the surroundings did not attract much attention.
Neither does it work for you. There is no reason to actively use and carry around technology that makes other people feel comfortable.
It was also the reason why there was not much soul in the Farghists. It was because there was a high possibility that his identity would be discovered if he used the Wave of Tranquility outside.
Therefore, for about 60 days, the only time I used the wave of tranquility was to prove my identity a few times, and to alleviate the labyrinth mental invasion of my girlfriends in the prison labyrinth.
However, seeing Cedar coexisting, the thought of testing the wave of tranquility suddenly came to mind.
Just in time, there were other spirits standing around as if dazed, and Melvin was in terror and confusion, so it was the perfect situation to test the wave of tranquility.
Hwanin fired the wave without hesitation and felt the effect.
‘I wasn’t going to dismiss the waves of tranquility as sedatives and ID cards.’
As if being eroded, the traces that had been dyed in mixed red disappeared without leaving even a speck of dust. Even the spirits that Izzy seemed to have completely disappeared came to their senses to some extent.
「Uh, ugh.」
“Here is……. I….」
Seeing the awakening of Malvin’s brothers or his family, Hwanin felt his own immaturity.
More actively, he had to use it against the undead in the prison labyrinth, collect the increased souls after the festival, and use it against the spirits as well.
Anyway, reunited with her mother, albeit in a spirit state, Malvin burst into tears like her little child.
= Mom! Whoa! Sooooo!=
「Mar. Ah, Mar… 」
She was told that she had become an adult not too long ago, but she was too young at heart. She thought so, but Hwanin did not interfere with them and left her family tomb without a word.
Malvin’s loud wail made the people of her mansion startle and ran, so it became known that her ghost was a high-level soul, but it didn’t spread because of her uproar.
Rather, her attitude towards Hwanin became more respectful and her respect became more extreme.
In Oulinge, she misunderstood that the reason she came to the mansion was because of the unjustly murdered soul’s achievement.
It’s not exactly wrong, but anyway, the people of the mansion quietly informed the villagers and guards of this fact, so that every single one of them knew that Hwanin was a high-ranking spirit.
In the meantime, Malvin and Cedar shared a date after a year and six months, and Hwanin, who gave the two some time to sort out their feelings, moved to the mansion and asked for a favor they had promised.
“I would like to hold a memorial service in which all villagers participate so that the victims who died that day can forget grudges and hatred and return to heaven as a Buddha.”
=What is the memorial service?=
“It is literally a ritual held to comfort the souls of the dead.”
= Uh… Please teach me how to do the memorial service. I will practice it wholeheartedly.=
Maybe it was because her mother’s spirit was right next to her, so her heart was at peace. Malvin showed a stable attitude and would do whatever Hwanin said.
Hwanin informed him of the procedure as far as he knew.
1. Opening remarks including the reason for holding the memorial service (read by Helisa, a high-ranking village next to Malvin).
2. Brief report of the incident (the chief of guard mentions ‘the’ incident).
3. Silence for the dead and recitation of a memorial address to comfort the dead (recited by the owner, Malvin).
4. Burn incense so that the dead can safely attain Buddhahood (everyone in the village should burn incense in turn).
5. Gather souls and try to attain Buddhahood.
6. Closing.
It would be effective to erect a memorial stone, but assuming an unexpected situation…….
=If that’s the case, I’ll remove the statue in front of the mansion and build a memorial stone! I wrote Hwanin’s name and all the names of the murdered victims…….=
「Mar. It’s difficult to do that. Of course, it would be a nuisance to the advanced soul masters…… It is an act that can give that person room to attack again.”
Nowhere in the world are there statues or stelae engraved with the names of high-ranking spiritual masters. The achievements of advanced soul masters are just passed on through word of mouth.
= What? Yes mother I’m sorry for bringing up the story carelessly, Mr. Soul.=
“It’s okay.”
Hwanin sat next to Malvin and stared at Cedar, who was smiling quietly.
The psychometry phenomenon that occurred when contacting the black soul woman in Carton also occurred when contacting Cedar.
However, unlike the black female soul who experienced the same memories as in reality, Cedar was the one who watched what Cedar experienced from the perspective of the third person.
=Then, how big should the memorial service be, as Mother, the spirit priest said?=
“What do you think of Maru?”
= Since you have to gather all the villagers, it would not fit in a narrow and crowded village square or in front of a mansion that is not wide. I think it would be better to temporarily use the empty lot in front of the mill.=
“It is also a virtue of the owner to listen to the stories of the people around him. Helisa is this mother’s milk sister and has many knowledge, so she consults with her and her butlers…….」
With her mother’s benevolent expression, she imparts her own knowledge to her Malvin.
She regrets that she died without being able to teach anything, leaving only her son behind, and seizing the opportunity that came again.
In her there was no trace of a man who had been tortured, suffered and killed by Aldhelm le Marithe, the vast majority of whom her woman would undergo.
“…….”
In Hwanin’s mind, the torture and cruelty suffered by Cedar resurfaces like a movie.
Promised not to lay a finger on her only son, Cedar became Aldhelm’s plaything instead.
First, she was forcibly engrafted with a handful of men from her family, her father, older brother, and younger siblings, and was gang-raped by the family’s servants and male servants.
She was gang-raped by men from the slums who received death threats, and even bestialized by beasts such as dogs and pigs.
Although her whole body was tattered and battered, only her mind remained clear. From then on, physical abuse was done to Cedar.
The breasts and nipples, symbols of motherhood, were hacked to pieces, and the insides of the vulva and anus, tattered by accepting hundreds of people in a short time, were torn apart with all sorts of foreign objects such as branches, sticks, and pokers.
The torture did not stop thereafter. A full course of torture in which the skin is peeled off, the ears are cut off, the tail is cut off, the tongue is pulled out, and the fingernails and claws are cut off because they can’t tear them off.
In the end, the impalement was made in front of her family and friends, and from her anus to her mouth, she was slowly pierced by her skewer and died slowly over an hour.
She was an intense torturer that wouldn’t be strange even if she was mixed up.
‘Did he try to create a mixture but fail, or did Aldhelm notice Cedar’s mentality and satisfy his sadism to his heart’s content?’
Even so, Cedar was not overcome by hatred and resentment. Even after he died, he maintained his reason and was just sad and sad.
He suffered for not passing on his knowledge to his son and for not showing his son a good figure until the end.
If a mentally ill person who is not mentally considerate of others increases his intelligence, he will be able to understand the other person close to mind-reading with knowledge and experience…… Goh Hwanin was thinking.
Of course, having such knowledge is a different story to reign as the lord of evil, darkness, and final boss, thoroughly guarding and protecting yourself like a superman or an iron man.
In any case, psychopaths pour their abilities only into their own interests, just like children cherish and play with their favorite toys.
So, Aldhelm recognized Owling as a good playground, and instead of carefully killing soldiers or middle-class people in the village, he played with the lower-class people in the slums for entertainment.
Satisfy quantitative sadism by using the poor, and satisfy qualitative sadism against the village’s owner, the Gojok.
Hwanin could not easily come to a conclusion as to whether this interpretation was correct. It was because the more he got rumors, the more information he got, the more he felt he was missing an important principle of action.
Hwanin, who was staring at Seeder’s education, got up from his seat.
It doesn’t look like she will reach her goal soon, and getting information about Bija Lux Village and Aldhelm is difficult in the current atmosphere.
She later said to the people who looked at her that she rose from her seat, thinking she should take the time to listen.
“It is late, so I will go back to the annex. When the memorial service is ready, call me. And cedar.”
“Yes, Spirit Master.”
“When the aura I instilled in you runs out, you will lose your voice and your appearance will fade. Then come find me. Until I reach Buddhahood, I will help you to be with your son.”
=Ga, thank you, Mr. Soul!=
“I will not forget this favor, Spirit Master.”
Hwanin was greeted by two people and she came out to the hall on the first floor.
But the girlfriends he thought would be waiting in the hall are nowhere to be seen.
Hwanin, who was about to leave the mansion to see if they were waiting outside, could hear part of the conversation between her party and Helisa beyond the front door.
[…… If it’s the former pill, it should be in the family safe. I will tell Malvin so that I can pass on the rest to you.]
[Uh. I’m not asking for free. I will pay properly, so please.]
What does the previous pill mean? The pill of the temple? As for medicine, even Yurpa could make pretty much anything, but isn’t that common?
The conversation is interrupted as he opens the door and Helissa bows politely as her girlfriends approach and stand by her side.
=Doryeong, are you finished?=
“Okay.”
Until the memorial service started, he said it was free time and looked at Anne and Helisa, but Hwanin and his girlfriends came down the hill as they stood there, wondering if there was anything more to share.
Shoot ah- slam. …… Aaaaa-
As I sit on the sofa in the living room of the detached building where the white sunlight shines, the clear and refreshing sound of the waves hits my ears.
Using the sound of the waves as white noise to relax his tired mind, Hwanin fell into thought.
For now, the village’s misfortune will be finished as soon as the memorial service is ready.
You don’t have to worry about sexual misfortune any more. What you need to pay attention to is the way to cut the head of Aldhelm and the information about the mining town (city?) Called Bijalux.
It’s possible that Aldhelm planted spies in this town, but that’s…….
‘If an outsider stays for a few months, it’s bound to get suspicious.’
Rather, it would be more reasonable to say that they bought the local people with money.
Finding such a buyer would not be difficult if Anne’s innate talent, the Truth-Watcher, was mobilized, but it was worth using in reverse, so she let her go.
If the buyer told her that she was a high-ranking spirit master, she wouldn’t be able to do anything against her.
“…….”
Hwanin laughed inwardly.
A direct descendant of a baron who would definitely want to get away with it. Trying to kill such a guy is tantamount to trying to go to Korea and find someone from a chaebol family within the top 5 in the business world who made you feel bad and split his skull with an axe.
Not to mention, the son of a conglomerate is a man who intelligently enjoys the game of murder within the law, unlike the man who decorated his brain for decoration and lived according to his desires (Gilles = Bexle).
‘Because he cleverly uses insults and guilt-by-association, Bijalux could be a normal city.’
In such a state, retaliation becomes difficult. Killing is simple, but avoiding charges after that is the problem.
Hwanin looked at her right arm, which was ready to release energy.
His hands were stained black up to his elbows.
The best way is to employ the means prepared to overturn the Crabberry. With some scaling down, taking Aldhelm’s life alone would be a piece of cake.
‘But it’s a waste to use this to cut Aldhelm’s head.’
After writing it, there is a high possibility that the method will be known somehow. It’s fine if you plan to erase the city itself as planned, but if not, traces will remain.
Or, there is a way to chase after the guy who goes out again, kidnap him, and bring him to a secluded place to make minced meat.
The problem is that it is difficult to adopt Aldhelm because you do not know when he will go abroad again.
“Hmm.”
Hwan-in, who was recovering from mental fatigue while thinking of a way to assassinate Aldhelm, had girlfriends who had left for a while rushing in with bright faces.
He whispered a little, as if he was trying to keep him from hearing, but Hwanin overheard the conversation without difficulty because his senses were widened and sharpened.
=As expected, I had a lot of pills for the new shrine, probably because I was from an ancient family. Glad you saved it, right?=
= Yes. Even without it, it wasn’t particularly difficult.=
= Moyamoya~. Implying that you will have a child with Doryeong?=
=Oh, no!?=
What kind of story is it Just in time, Hwanin remembered the conversation he had with Helisa at the front door and asked.
“I was talking about that with Helisa at the mansion, but what are the pills in the temple talking about?”
= Huh? Ah…….=
The female friends look awkwardly at each other as if they hadn’t expected to hear the story.
Hearing the reply that came back after a while, Hwanin murmured softly.
“The contraceptive pill sold at the temple.”
=Yeah.=
Hwanin, who learned the identity of the pill for the new medicine, made a subtle expression.
It wasn’t that she didn’t think about her pregnancy while mixing her body with them. Because sex inevitably comes with a chance of getting pregnant.
But Hwanin didn’t care much.
When I have a child, I will of course take responsibility. These are not women who just stick around asking for seeds, but women who openly reveal their feelings to themselves and start a formal relationship.
Because of this, after accepting Isilite and Anne as girlfriends, Hwanin also thought of his own way and learned about the pregnancy and childbirth of women in this world.
And what I learned is that while unemployed women go through pregnancy and childbirth that are not very different from people, there are risks related to pregnancy…….
‘Professional women have strong bodies and higher disease resistance than ordinary people, so miscarriages and stillbirths rarely happen unless she fights.’
Warriors and warriors who are melee professions have excellent physical abilities, so the risk converges to 0%.
Yeopsa is also quite strong, so if you don’t overuse your body, the formula of conception = childbirth will be established.
There is no problem even for magicians who have incomparably weaker physical abilities to travel in a wagon after a period of stabilization.
That’s why it would be difficult to take them on a labyrinth exploration if they were pregnant, but at that time I was thinking of getting a temporary mate from the administrator and wandering around the labyrinth.
Travel? It’s enough to get a wagon.
‘I’ll tell you when I get pregnant.’
Hwanin thought so and didn’t care after that, but it’s no way that they were taking birth control pills.
His girlfriends, who were often stung by the sight of him staring into the distance with his arms folded, were terrified because they thought he was angry.
=Do, doryong. Sorry =
“…… ? What are you sorry about?”
A voice with very little intonation. Her voice was usually nice to hear, but now it sounded angry, so Anne and Isilite answered in a crawling voice.
=That, the man wants to see the child he inherited his blood from…… ? Because we’ve been avoiding pregnancy by taking birth control pills without a word…….=
=If I become pregnant, I deliberately took birth control pills because I thought it would interfere with my master’s journey. Sorry…….=
…… Are you apologizing because you thought I was angry?
Hwanin shook his head, thinking that the girls who were watching him looked like puppies.
“I’m not angry, so you don’t have to worry so much about it. What I didn’t say much about your pregnancies…….”
When I explained that I hadn’t said anything special for this and that, the girls’ eyes lit up as if they were quite moved.
=That’s right.=
“If they are children of your blood, they must be cute and lovely.”
Isilite and Anne’s faces turned red at Hwanin’s candid answer, not knowing what to do.
Objectively speaking, even if you inherit only half of their appearance genes, you will be born with a child with a much higher than average appearance, so it is not wrong.
Although he did say so, he was a Hwanin who did not have the confidence to give love to his child like his parents did to him.
However, there are enough behavioral samples for reference, so he can play the role of a father enough.
Afterwards, Hwanin said with a smile.
“Even if I have a child, I have no intention of blaming you and my heart will not change. So I want you to accept me as I am.”
= Yes! Sure!=
=Yes, Master.=
Isilite and Anne kissed Hwanin’s cheeks at the same time with smiles as bright as the sunlight shining from outside.
Hwanin, who smiled a little at the way the girls felt clearly, muttered a sudden curiosity.
“If the child born between Isilite and I is a boy, what will happen then? Are you going to get the characteristics of a Lukerang man?”
= No. A child born to a woman with Luke follows her father’s lineage if it is a boy, and a girl follows her mother’s lineage. =
“So, between Isilite and I, humans are born? Then what about Fleur?”
Next to Isilite, who wiggled her fingers in embarrassment, Anne answered, dyeing the tips of her ears peachy.
= We don’t change much. The degree to which the races of husband and wife are mixed half and half? If a child is born between me and Doryeong, he will have gray hair and ears about half a span long.
The ears of the Fleurs are as long as 20 cm, like the elves in Japanese fantasy. If half of that, 10 cm. Literally harp.
“What if Luke and a man and a Fleur woman get married and have a child?”
Looking at each other, Isilite and Anne gave their eyes to Yurpa, who was watching with a warm face. The three women look at each other and then talk as if they are also curious.
=Have you ever heard of the story that a Fleur woman married a man to Luke?=
= No……. That’s the story of Anne’s race. Don’t you know better?
= I’ve never heard of it either. Have you ever heard of Yuri unnie?=
= I’ve heard that the races that a Fleur woman fears the most for her marriage partners are the Luke Lang and the Xabi. =
=As expected, it is known that way outside.=
Hwanin, who had been listening attentively to their curious conversation, intervened.
“Now that I hear it, Luke and the man’s reputation seems to be not very good with other races.”
= Yes……. It’s a universal theory, but I heard that Luke and a man are not welcome as marriage partners because male supremacy is unique among all races.
= I heard it too. I’d rather have a Saby man…….=
Sabine tribe. I haven’t seen it yet, but according to rumors I’ve heard, it’s a lizardman relative.
Is it possible for mammals and reptiles to crossbreed even though they are of different classes at the biological classification stage?
=Many people say he hates women because he is violent. The genitals also look weird and don’t fit well with women.=
= I heard that you were fine before marriage, but after you got married, you became strange. =
=Dew said you hadn’t heard of Luke marrying a man either?=
=It’s not the truth, it’s just rumors.=
“…….”
Was it that severe? But Luke and the men I’ve met so far have been pretty normal.
Susa, a peddler with whom he first met, had a lover named Yan Wei, but he was a man faithful to his family.
Resim, the escort of Baekryeogang, was no different from a Korean who was a werewolf only in appearance, and Kant’s retainer, Kantwi, the Farghist Fenri castle lord, and the commander of the warrior division, Arell, were outwardly fine. That Malvin was also normal.
Thinking about it, Hwanin seemed to be in the mood to solve the curiosity he had been harboring all along, so he asked her girlfriends.
“If you think about Luke and men’s perception, social reputation, and gender ratio, it would be natural for Radseah to be a matriarchal society, but it seems to me that it is an excessively patrilineal society. Is there some force majeure here?”
In response to Hwanin’s question, Fleurin Anne also looked at Isilite curiously.
