123 – Funeral
Shoo!
Raise your head.
The storm was pouring down like crazy, as if there was a hole in the ceiling, causing massive showers.
The sun set long ago.
A place where only a small light source held in your hand illuminates your vision.
“…Whew.”
Choi Si-woo, who was looking ahead, sighed softly.
Currently, he was wearing a black suit, which he did not prefer because he felt personally uncomfortable.
But he couldn’t not wear it.
Well, it’s that kind of day.
‘…… ‘
As she walked slowly, a woman wearing black mourning clothes lowered her head.
Stand next to me carefully.
She placed the black long umbrella she was holding over her head.
Jegal is a star.
The face was as gloomy as usual, but the expression was full of sadness and frustration.
“……”
I hesitated for a moment.
What should I say?
For Choi Si-woo, death was something so common that he was not even familiar with it.
His life in his previous life was a narrative composed of death and blood.
Someone’s screams and pain were worse than the sound of the passing wind.
It was natural for a close friend I was talking to to die.
So, at some point, no one mourned the death of an individual.
I was busy cleaning up the scattered corpses and cooking rice.
Because only then could I gain the strength to fight.
Because that was the only way to protect those who remained.
Because that’s how I could live.
‘… What do you mean? ‘I will do it.’
To put it simply, Choi Si-woo was embarrassed by this situation.
He thinks about what he mourned.
He thinks about what comfort he had.
Put a hand on his shoulder, pat him on the back, or roughly put a snack in his pocket.
Or just throw punches and spar with each other…… –
‘-Oh, damn it.’
Is this really all I have?
Isn’t there something?
A wonderful phrase that makes anyone who hears it think, ‘Wow, he’s good at making judoungari liquor.’
‘Keuung.’
I thought.
I was worried about my first words.
Are you okay?
What is okay? I’m not kidding.
Is there any way it could be okay?
It’s cold. Are you going to catch a cold like this?
Jegal Eunbyeol is also a truly awakened person.
Even if it rains this much, I don’t shiver from the cold.
May the deceased rest in peace… ?
Oh, or should I just wrap my arms around his shoulders without saying a word?
‘No, that Zhuge is a star.’
I was shocked for a moment.
I thought that he might use this as an excuse to do something suspicious to me later.
At the same time, I felt ashamed as to why I came here to film some kind of comedy in a serious situation.
“Puput…Pyo, your expression is funny. Uh, why are you so serious that it doesn’t suit you?”
It was a time when I was scratching the back of my head and groaning for a long time.
Just then, Jegal Eunbyeol looks back and bursts into laughter.
“…Are you okay?”
In the end, Choi Si-woo speaks out the first words he thought of.
Zhuge stared at her and nodded with a bitter smile.
“…I can bear it. It’s like my stomach juices have melted after being hit by a wolf spider’s sharp teeth…Also, I listen to the nymph language all day long and say, ‘I’m sorry!’ “That never leaves my mind. Oh, or that person getting uppercutted and right hooked by a dog squirrel in quick succession. It’s that kind of pain, that pain… But it’s bearable. Actually, you’re not going to die.”
“…Do I really need to say something like that right here?”
Choi Si-woo, unable to bear it, tries something else.
Jegal Eunbyeol smiled brightly and lowered his gaze.
A tombstone was placed there along with numerous flowers.
[May the respected and beloved ‘Rune’ rest in peace there.]
“……”
Zhuge, who was silent, lowered his body.
Slowly and carefully sweep down the tombstone.
“…Did you hear?”
It was a sudden question, but Choi Si-woo was not embarrassed.
“…Yes, I heard about it. The other side sent a body.”
Surprisingly, the guy who took Rune’s life sent the body to Zhuge family even though he knew it was against him.

It was also said that both the external and internal injuries were neatly repaired and carefully placed in a coffin.
Of course, of course.
There were no traces left.
No, even if it remained in the first place.
There is no way Zhuge Ga, who has already been fooled, will help.
“…What are you doing, you idiot?”
Jegal Eunbyeol’s voice is increasingly trembling.
“…I don’t know exactly. I just suspect that he has his own standards. Or he could just be pure…Crazy.”
The two were silent for a moment.
Soon, Zhuge Eunbyeol’s side took over this uncomfortable atmosphere.
“…Sister. Did you hear the story?”
“…Yes.”
Jegalin.
Jegal is the only person who can be said to be blood family to Eunbyeol.
And a business partner who made a good impression on me, and Prunel’s instructor from whom I had a lot to learn.
I was really surprised when I heard the news.
“He’s in the hospital.”
“Oh, that’s right… Fortunately, they said that his life was saved. I wonder if it was poisoned or something. It’s a special thing that doesn’t spread further once it’s poisoned beyond a certain point.”
After spilling his words, Zhuge lowered his head.
His shoulders are shaking.
I lost a precious person.
My older sister was seriously injured.
Indescribable anger and despair burst out of Jegal Eunbyeol with bloody force.
“Ma, do you want to go see me? Now?”
After a while, Zhuge Li lifted her body and showed a bright smile that was unusual for her.
“Ooh, my sister.”
*
Beep, beep.
A short beep sounds in time with the beat.
Inside a luxurious ward.
Jegalin was lying dead on top of the hospital bedroom.
With an oxygen mask and various mechanical equipment on her mouth, she seemed peaceful as if she was in a deep sleep.
“Oh, my sister. She was lying sprawled out on the cold street.”
Jegal, who was watching, followed her words.
“There was no sound anywhere. Especially on the abdomen… There were traces as if someone had kicked it… Of course, the most important thing was the poison on the handkerchief.”
One letter, one letter.
I answer with quiet anger.
“I can’t forgive. The person who made Rune and her sister like that…And…My father.”
“……”
Choi Si-woo sighed.
In fact, Zhugelin was seriously injured.
What surprised me the most was Jegalga.
To be exact, it was a Zhuge-style corruption.
I never thought you would do something like a dog, poisoning your own daughter.
‘No, is the word deterioration a misnomer?’
Because he was that kind of man from the beginning.
This was information I found out with the help of Kei and Yuen.
This was something I didn’t know in my previous life.
It has no choice but to be like that.
From what I remember, the character named Zhuge Shik is a pathetic being who has no ability and only enjoys favors and sows seeds that he will not take responsibility for, just because he was born well.
It was nothing more, nothing less.
After finishing his thoughts, Choi Si-woo looked around.
It was cold.
It didn’t feel cold or anything like that; it was literally desolation itself.
No one had visited the hospital room, so there wasn’t even a single common flower.
“……”
Choi Si-woo sympathized with Jegalin, who was lying down for a while.
Everyone has their own painful story.
This woman lived one of the most unfortunate lives of anyone she knew.
‘… Similar to Ohana.’
Choi Si-woo is rummaging through his arms.
I handed the flowers I had bought to Jegal Eunbyeol.
“Ah, thank you.”
Decorate quietly.
A very subtle silence follows.
“…Do you know what this is?”
Jegal Eunbyeol, who put all the flowers in the bottle, opened the topic.
“Well, the doctor says it’s poison…I find it hard to believe. I personally researched it and gave it medication and tried it. So I came to my own conclusion.”
This is not just a poison.
He nods his head as his eyes look for the right answer.
“That’s right. It’s a curse.”
“I, curse…”
“That’s not just a curse, it’s the power of the 5th rank in the Six Demons.”
Dream-dreaming disorder.
It is the ‘Black Sheep’s’ specialty, and it was the power that tormented Yurika to death in her past life.
However, in the case of Jegalin, it may be because it has only been a short time since we first met.
It ended with me just losing consciousness.
After she finished explaining, Zhuge Star lowered her head.
She soon came running to her like lightning and grabbed her by the shoulders.
“Everything can be better if it’s you, right? Right? That, that contract. That’s a scam! Nothing’s impossible! You always make me look proud with that!”
Crying and shaking.
Tears are flowing down his chin.
“Choi, Choi Siemong! Please help me!”
“…It’s impossible.”
No matter how great the [Arhat’s Contract] Is, it is not omnipotent enough to casually correct the power of the devil that came from ‘outside’.
To be exact, I didn’t have that much power yet.
Furthermore, the ‘black sheep’ may have little in terms of pure force.
Because he is a nihilistic being born from fantasy and illusion, he is adept at manipulating the very sensitive and delicate organ called ‘spirit’.
‘… In other words, if you touch it carelessly, something bigger can happen.’
After the explanation was finished, despair appeared in Jegal Eunbyeol’s eyes.
I bow down and cry silently.
“It’s okay.”
“…Yes?”
“In other words, it comes back when you defeat the 5th place.”
“Ha, but…it’s not like…it’s not like…it’s not like…it’s not like…it’s not like…it’s that easy.”
“Anyway… It won’t take long.”
Choi Si-woo’s meaningful words.
Jegal Eunbyeol shook his head in puzzlement, but he turned his attention to another topic.
“So, did Instructor Zhugelin leave anything for me?”
“Oh, that’s right. This is where my sister fell.”
Take it slow.
The contract fluttered inside, unable to withstand the power and eventually glowing black.
“……”
“Well, do you know what it is?”
“…No. I’m going to find out now. And now it’s my turn to hand it to them.”
“…Huh?”
Choi Si-woo carefully opened the box he had brought with him from the beginning.
Jegal Eunbyeol’s eyes widen as he looks inside.
“This, this?”
“This is an item that Instructor Zhugelin entrusted to me. A personal letter to you. The corruption that the Zhuge family has been doing for a long time and evidence of it. And it is an important document. Some of them I have investigated.”
Finally, a luxuriously decorated key is handed over.
“An executive-level key that allows you to search all information in the Mountain and Sea Police.”
“……!!”
“What these mean, Zhuge Eunbyeol. I think you know well.”
“……”
“Your real sister’s will. Now it’s your turn to take charge. And show me like you did when you first met me.”
You are truly a genius in pharmacy.
*
“……”
Jegal Eunbyeol folded the letter tightly and put it in an envelope.
Lift up your gaze.
Choi Si-woo had a bit of goosebumps and a smile on his face, which could be said to be silent and cold.
‘… The old face appears.’
The look on her face when she truly spreads her wings and soars.
And it was a face full of intelligence that he shows when he does something crazy.
Choi Si-woo, who sensed that she had made up her mind, opened her mouth as if it were a final confirmation.
“So…Are you ready mentally? Once you commit something, you can never go back. No matter how well you handle it, you won’t be able to avoid criticism from the world. After all, you are blood relatives.”
In response to her question, Jegal Byul raised one corner of her mouth.
“Well, my only blood relatives are… Uh, my sister and my dead sister Rune.”
Chuck!
Jegal is carrying his bag.
I twirled the keychain on the USB contained inside.
“I’ll start right now. If I do this…I’ll be able to send my father to hell.”
“…I’m speaking out of anger, but it won’t be easy. As you know, the Zhuge family has amassed a considerable amount of personal troops. I’m sure other relatives besides the Zhuge family will join forces to bury you. “
“Don’t worry. Yes, I have something prepared a long time ago. Um, I was afraid that my sister would be sad… That’s why I hesitated.”
Jegal Eunbyul turns his gaze and slowly sweeps away Jegalin’s face.
“…There is no need for that anymore.”
“…Then, just take a few of my people with you.”
“Huh? People?”
Choi Si-woo, overcome with doubt, looked back.
“You may come in.”
“…Huh?”
Squeak.
At that moment, the door opens.
Jegal Eunbyeol was startled by the fact that there was someone outside.
No sign of anything was heard.
No sound was heard.
Even now, I didn’t feel any sense of crisis.
Sense of seeing a ghost.
He was definitely an assassin with a knack for things like this.
Anyway, the woman who came in rolled her big eye drops and looked at her surroundings.
It was a strangely cute behavior for an assassin with such great skills.
Zhuge Star looked her up and down.
Dark black ponytail.
Yellow pupil and iris.
He is tall enough to be said to have good style and a great body.
Lastly, it’s hard to tell because she’s wearing a mask and a hat, but she looks pretty just by looking at her.
Anyone can see that it looks like it will be popular.
Weak against her fighting power, Zhuge Star instinctively took a step back.
At the moment she was wary of her sense of seeing her older sister who was stronger than her.
“Wow, wow! It’s nice to meet you. It’s nice to meet you. It’s nice to meet you!”
A sharp voice is heard that overturns expectations.
It was as if she was seeing an old friend.
The woman held both of Jegal Eunbyeol’s hands and squealed.
“Wow, your hands are softer than I thought? I didn’t know because I just looked at them all the time.”
“…Huh?”
“You’re cute even if you’re gloomy!”
“…Uh, huh? Okay, suddenly…?”
Continued chatter.
To be precise, it is a one-sided question…
In the end, Choi Si-woo, who is inferior, raises her hand and lightly taps the woman on the head.
“Stop and introduce yourself.”
“Ah, yes!”
The other person hesitantly held out his hand.
“Hello. I’m a dedicated… Oh, no!”
My name is K.
