Login Murim Chapter 898
Someone said that. Humans are animals of adaptation.
However, there is bound to be at least one thing in this world that everyone cannot get used to even after countless experiences.
In my case, it was the responsibility of taking responsibility for another person’s life, and the same was true of someone’s ugly face that I saw as soon as I opened my eyes.
“What are you doing?”
Hyukmujin answered.
“I was looking at the captain.”
“why?,’
“You were not allowed to go out and stayed in your room for two days, only eating breakfast. “I sneaked in because I thought it might be a firebrand.”
“Two days?”
“yes. “You sure you didn’t know?”
“No, okay.”
It’s a lie.
I thought it had been about half a day at most
It took two days.
I looked at the window where the sunlight was shining and sighed inwardly. “Thank you for your concern, but please leave it alone from next time.”
“why?”
“Because as soon as I opened my eyes, I almost fell ill when I saw your face.”
“Aren’t you saying too harshly?” “What’s worse is your face.”
“Then I’ll just stay by your side. “Protection of the law is necessary.”
“Don’t even stand guard.”
“No, why is that again?”
“Because when I hear your snoring, I get angry.”
“······At this point, it would be better if I were not there. “If you keep doing this, I may lose my temper and have to return home alone.”
I was just about to get out of my lotus position and stand up, and I stared blankly at Hyukmu-jin, who was making a threatening threat.
“Why, why? “Is there a law that says I should only follow the leader?”
Contrary to his words, the sight of him paying attention to me makes me chuckle.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was shrinking his body as much as possible to avoid my fist, which could come at any moment, or to receive the hit with the least pain, looked embarrassed.
“what? Am I seeing nothing? Captain, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“what?”
“No, that’s because the person who must have already been hit twelve times is just smiling like a saint.”
I barely held back the laughter that threatened to burst out.
And the next moment, it leapt out of its seat with lightning-like speed.
Whoosh!
Hyuk Moo-jin instinctively tried to defend himself, and the movements he showed in that split second were so fast and calm that it was hard to believe that he was still a top-notch expert.
Of course, it was already a failed response given that the opponent was me.
“Sigh.”
Hyuk Mu-jin realizes that everything is in vain and closes his eyes tightly.
Perhaps, as usual, he was preparing for the strong shock that was about to come.
But despite his mental preparation, what he expected did not happen.
Tuk
Instead of hitting him like usual, I lightly touched him on the back of the head and clicked my tongue.
“You bastard, you’ve been empty-handed until now. “Who wants to turn a blind eye?”
“······uh?”
“Even if you get hit, keep your eyes wide open. “If you just roll your eyes, you’ll end up eating half of it.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was rubbing the back of his head with a confused expression, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?” “what?”
“No, that’s strange. Normally… “ “So, hit me like you normally do?” Hyuk Moo-jin quickly answered. “no. “That’s a bit much.”
“Then keep your mouth shut. “Because it conserves power.”
“Power conservation?”
“okay. If we already fight so hard, what’s the point of hitting you on the back of the head?
Then, if you get hit by a blind sword, your dreams will be disturbed for no reason.”
Hyukmujin grinned and laughed.
“iced coffee. You said so. “But you can be a little more honest.”
“what?”
“I know everything. I guess the leader got worried because I suddenly said I was leaving. Right?”
I was about to answer something, but I just smiled.
“Yeah, man. “I wish I was quick to notice.” “also. I thought so. no matter how
“Even if you’re the leader, you need a right-hand man like me right next to you to use your strength.”
“What about the right arm? “It’s the little toe.”
“Uh huh, why are you doing this? “I also gave up a lot with my right arm.”
“concession?”
“yes. Where else can you find subordinates as loyal as me? This is actually the heart, not the right arm. heart.”
“The heart is not strong. “How dare you talk about a guy with balls.”
“Then is it possible to just take off my balls?”
Perfect!
This time, he hit with a certain amount of force, and for some reason, Hyuk Moo-jin’s face brightened as he held the back of his head with a loud groan.
“Wow. This is it.”

“······uh?”
“But it’s still not enough. “Try hitting me harder.”
What is this creepy reaction?
Just when I was doubting Hyuk Moo-jin’s taste, he smiled and continued.
“Just, it’s nothing special. “It’s so different from usual that I’m a little worried.” M |>9
“I know you started worrying a lot at some point, but everything will be okay. So just do what you do. “Just like I always do.” I was speechless for a moment without realizing it.
At the same time, the hidden truth in my heart boiled up and tickled my throat. but······.
‘no.’
I couldn’t speak because I was caught up in temporary emotions. This huge place full of monsters
Because in order to survive and win at the gambling table, I had to be sparing with my words.
In the end, after much thought, there was only one thing I could come up with.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“yes? What?”
“This situation we are in now. And that unknown situation that we must soon face.”
And after hearing what I said, Hyuk Mu-jin blinked for a long time and then answered like this.
“Are you saying that? “Of course it’s scary.”
“For something like that, your words and actions don’t match at all?”
“It’s scary because I’m already used to it.” “Familiar?”
“yes. So what is this? “I’ve always been a bit scared.”
Hyuk Mu-jin scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“When I was young, I cried every day because I was afraid of losing my parents’ love to my younger brother, and when I grew up and decided to become a warrior, I started shaking just by holding a sword. I thought things got better after joining Taewon Jinga, but after working with the leader… “I felt like I was going to pee every day.”
This is my first time hearing this story.
When I think back, I have never asked Hyeok Mu-jin about his past in such detail.
I also found out by chance that he was the eldest son of a large third-generation dry goods store, but I didn’t really try to find out.
Maybe that was why.
Normally, this long story would have been cut off long ago, but strangely enough, I wanted to hear it even more today.
“······That’s right, but somehow I ended up clinging to Director Cho.”
Hyukmoojin finished his sentence by shrugging his shoulders and suddenly looked at me.
“This is all because of you, leader.” “me?”
“yes. This isn’t a ghost, it just visits the land of death every time. In the process, I became so disciplined that I am no longer scared, even though it was scary. “Do you know what I mean?”
“So, was it very difficult?”
“It wasn’t that it was hard, it felt like I was going to die. But he didn’t actually die. No, to be exact, every time I felt like I was going to die, the leader saved me.”
Maybe not this time.
I swallowed the words that lingered in my mouth.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who didn’t know how I felt, continued talking casually.
“Maybe that’s why I’m not particularly scared this time either. I heard the stories you told me and Comrade Heung not long ago.
Even though he said this, his heart was calm.”
“Why, of course I will save you this time too?”
“no.”
“No?”
“yes. “I just suddenly had a thought.”
Moment. Hyuk Mu-jin looked straight at me and opened his mouth.
“Ah, I think I might be able to save the leader this time.”
“They said it was dangerous. So much so that even the leader and the enemy team members had to risk their lives. You said it was virtually like gambling. “Then wouldn’t it be helpful to a sewer like me this time?”
Hyuk Moo-jin added with a bright smile.
“Although he is far from a top-notch brat, he is said to lend a hand as a cat in difficult situations. “Isn’t that right?”
I didn’t answer. No, I couldn’t do it.
I was out of breath as if an invisible hand was grabbing my neck.
I couldn’t give any answer because I felt like if I opened my mouth now, I would make the mistake of revealing my truth without realizing it.
So I looked at his brightly smiling face in silence and just laughed along.
“Okay, now it might be of some help.”
“Etham. Just trust me this time. This Hyuk Moo-jin is the leader’s right-hand man and heart. “Isn’t he a man of ten years from the Taewonjin family?”
As I watched Hyuk Moo-jin pounding my chest with exaggerated movements, I shook off all the worries that remained in my mind.
And I was sure.
The choices you will make from now on will all be right.
“What I said two days ago. remember?”
Hyuk Moo-jin nodded, erasing the smile that was on his lips.
“Which of them are you talking about?
“Reinforcements of the Murim Alliance.”
“Oh, of course I remember. “By the way, how on earth did you communicate with the Murim Alliance, leader?”
“That’s not important, so let’s move on and just do one mission.”
“By myself?”
“No, everyone at Fire Dragon Pavilion.”
“If it’s all of us… are you going with us, leader?”
“I am excluded. Of course, Master too. “You can lead the remaining personnel to the location I tell you and wait.”
“Are you going to make contact with the reinforcements of the Murim Alliance there?”
“Yes, as short as half a day. “If it’s too long, it will arrive tomorrow.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was nodding his head with an expression of understanding, suddenly narrowed his brows.
“But it’s taking longer than I thought. “It’s a bit awkward to leave your seat in this current situation… The leader’s physical condition is not the same as usual.”
“Of course it’s not like usual. So, are you afraid that the unusually high level expert will collapse right away with blood foaming in his mouth?”
Hyuk Mu-jin grinned.
“Well, the snake bird was worried about Heavenly Demon.”
“Normally, it would be a stork, not a stork.”
“If it’s a deteriorating supernatural ability, even Cheon-eung is not enough. “Anyway, is that the only mission you’ll entrust me with?”
“Yes, right now.”
In response, I took out a neatly folded note from my pocket and handed it to him.
It was an item that I had already prepared two days ago and hesitated until the last moment whether to take it out or not.
“Maybe it’s me or Master. Other people will be able to leave the imperial palace without any restrictions. When you are sure that you are not being followed, then check the destination written there.”
“This makes me feel like it’s not just Hwaryonggak, but Eunyeonggak.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who carefully took the paper and kept it in his arms, took the gun. “Then let’s go.”
“One last thing.”
“yes?”
“Take care of yourself. “You and everyone else”
Hyukmoojin, who had a puzzled expression on his face, laughed mischievously. Then he turned his back and disappeared.
And when his presence disappeared completely, I slowly left the room and came face to face with the person who was still remaining.
Huh.
Breath coming out slowly. Hongjin, who was looking at me through the hazy smoke of Gombangdae, suddenly muttered to himself. “Hyeok, Mu-In looks like he’s quite busy.”
“I guess so. “I gave you one mission.”
“It seems like it was an important mission. “If it’s something I can afford to spend in the current situation.” “yes. Yes.”
“I completely understand that feeling.”
Squeak.
The old wooden chair screams. Hongjin stood up with an elegant posture and opened his mouth with a whitish puff of smoke.
“In this dangerous gambling world where you never know what will happen, you want to save at least one more person.”
“······r
“So, Prince Jin, are you ready?”
I nodded with a wry smile.
“There were preparations for the event.”
After a while, golden armor lined up in front of the palace to take us to the grand banquet hall.
