The surroundings, which had become quiet immediately after Hyangrok’s speech, became noisy again when Sleep Yang started to sing the benefactor song.

Sleep Yang and the other Yang clans didn’t know much about rampage inducers or poisons, so they ended up whining, “The benefactor of the Yang clans!” but the problem was the others.

Cheongryong scolded Hwang Jiho.

“Hwangho, why didn’t you stop the benefactor of the Dragon clan from doing such a reckless experiment! What on earth did you do!”

“Cheongryong, look at Cheongho’s reaction. Hwangho probably didn’t know. But Baekho must have known, so if you’re going to pursue him, you have to deal with Baekho.”

“Somehow it seemed strange that Baekho was going back to Eun Gwang-gu so easily compared to his usual disposition. It’s clear that he foresaw this situation and withdrew early.”

Hyunmoo nodded slightly in agreement with Cheongryong’s words rather than denying them.

The white tiger was really annoying and went back, but seeing him express it as ‘docile’ made me see how he used to live in the past.

Watching all this through me, I also felt like I could see him laughing.

Jecheon Daeseong, who had disappeared in an instant with the injured in the near-dark, spoke to Hyangrok, who had sent another clone.

“Hyangrok, do you remember how my body was after taking a large amount of the antidote to the poison last winter?”

“Of course I remember! You helped me research the antidote, didn’t you? It was a shame that it had recovered a little after time passed, but it’s not easy to pour a lot of poison and antidote on a body like Jecheon Daeseong’s.”

“Compared to that time, how is this child’s condition now?”

Everyone listened to Jecheon Daeseong’s words.

Jecheon Daeseong approached the barrier that had been ruined by the poison emitted by the frozen other world on Christmas Eve.

He did take the antidote, but the amount was significant, and his body and ability group must have been in shambles because he had to normalize the barrier.

‘He must be fine compared to Jecheon Daeseong back then.’

If we were to say things like Hyangrok was injured just as much as Jecheon Daeseong, or that he was in worse condition than Jecheon Daeseong, those around him would only make them worry more.

Fortunately, the kind and smart Hyangrok objectively compared Jecheon Daeseong’s condition to mine at that time.

“I’ve only felt his pulse so I’m not sure, but unlike Jecheon Daeseong back then, he doesn’t have any missing organs and his body functions are normal.”

The people around him sighed in relief, and the stiff corners of some people’s lips relaxed.

But according to Hyangrok, doesn’t that mean Jecheon Daeseong had some missing organs and his body functions weren’t normal at that time?

At that time, his younger brother Mujigi hadn’t fully recovered, so he must have had a lot to worry about, but since he was seriously injured, he might have been okay.

I went to the underworld without even being able to handle the situation, and I felt bad for Jecheon Daeseong.

It was too late, but since Mujigi seemed to want to invite me, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a gift for my siblings and go visit them.

Of course, before that, I should first clean up the aftermath of this incident and come up with a plan for the future, and then visit Yongjegeon and the Red Lion members.

It was while I was thinking about my future plans for a short time.

“But this one must have been sicker? Judging from his physical condition, it seems like he was regenerated with a powerful supernatural ability, but if you look at the supernatural ability, you can see traces of suffering.”

While I was thinking, Hyangrok made a strange comment.

Pain cannot be judged objectively and is relative, so I don’t know how Hyangrok could say something so clear.

Jecheon Daeseong, who was the subject of the comparison, raised his head and looked at me instead of Hyangrok.

With his eyes fixed on me, Jecheon Daeseong asked Hyangrok.

“Hyangrok, can you read that with the power of the ability?”

“Yeah! You need to be able to read the pain left in the senses, including taste and smell, so it’ll be easier to make elixirs. You can add drugs on your own to make the elixir less tasty, and it’ll be easier to identify the person who ate it. If we spend more time examining it, we’ll be able to find out what effect the rampage inducer and the power of the ability poison had on its body, so give it time!”

Hyangrok put more strength into the hand that held my wrist.

Even while he was talking so brightly and healthily, the power of the ability flowed in through the hand he was holding.

It seemed like he was still examining my body.

After that, the other Jin clans lowered their voices as if they didn’t want to disturb Hyangrok.

They each gave instructions in very small voices.

“Search for those who Jegeon moved by manipulating space and join us. There may have been errors due to the evil darkness, but since Jegeon did it himself, the coordinates shouldn’t have changed much.”

“The Red Lion will carry out enemy sweeps until the hostile reaction completely disappears on Mt. Halla. Each of you, check your devices to confirm your assigned area.”

“Guys, they’ll probably leave soon, so let’s clean up the house. The two-legged benefactor might be resting, so we need ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) to clean it up.”

“If you try to hold them back by force, they’ll break the furniture outside the barrier one by one.”

The dragons, red lions, and two-legged people gathered around them left one by one according to the leader’s orders.

The surroundings became increasingly quiet and deserted, but Hyangrok never let go of my wrist.

At some point, only the leaders or those of a similar level remained, and perhaps because their numbers had decreased, the gazes directed at me became more intense and the air became heavier.

It was a mistake not to have expected that Hyangrok, who knew very well about the pain inflicted on the sense of taste, was also well-versed in other pains, but I was still able to recover.

I spoke calmly.

“According to Hyangrok, there is nothing wrong with your body right now. It’s okay because there is nothing wrong right now.”

“That’s true! Your body is fine.”

Hyangrok agreed in a bright voice, but the air was even sharper.

After ordering the Hojok to split up and cooperate with the Yongjok and the Red Lion, Hwang Jiho sighed, who had been silent.

Hwang Jiho, who looked to be in his 30s, called me by my name, ‘Joeuishin’, and his voice was low and heavy compared to how he usually called me in class.

“Joeuishin, you explained the experiment as if you were doing it on the other person, not on yourself. But did you do it on yourself instead of the other person?”

This time, there were many variables, and there were many things to deal with depending on the situation.

That’s why I planned the experiment to some extent, but I didn’t know how far or how much I could do it.

Depending on how things went, I could have just experimented on the other person and ended up doing it, so I didn’t lie.

“I did it on the other person too.”

“You must have thought of experimenting on yourself from the beginning. Baekho must have known everything, but you must have tied it up with the condition of not interfering.”

“The benefactor of the two tribes received Baekho’s protection? Oh, wait a minute? Didn’t Hwangho just call him ‘Joeuishin’?”

“Sleep Yang, I’ll play you a good song later, so let’s listen to the conversation for now.”

It wasn’t a lie, but Hwang Jiho quickly realized that he hadn’t told everything.

Hwang Jiho’s face gradually darkened, and Sleep Yang was flustered and babbling, “Your benefactor received the protection of that ignorant and arrogant Hojok?”

Hwang Jiho and Cheongho were not convinced, and the other Jin tribes were the same.

I looked around at the people currently guarding this place.

Hwang Jiho, Cheongho, Hyangrok, Cheongryong, Hyunmu, Jecheon Daeseong, Sleep Yang. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Those present already knew about my power and nightmares, and since they could trust me, I decided to reveal my intentions.

“This experiment had more to confirm than just the effects of the berserk inducer and the poison. I needed to know how my nightmares changed depending on my mental or power state so that I could make safe moves.”

I slowly took off my crow mask.

Before the crow mask completely took off and Yeom Jun-yeol’s face hidden underneath was revealed, I released Gwang-rim.

In the form of the god of sorrow, I spoke about my nightmares.

“Since there were only enemies around me, even if the nightmare I was carrying went berserk depending on my state, there would be no damage to our allies, and if necessary, Baekho, who checked my situation through his protection, could stop me. I was able to experiment with something that was difficult to confirm while minimizing the risk.”

I objectively conveyed my intentions, but the atmosphere did not improve at all.

On the contrary, his gaze shifted downwards because he was looking down at me, who was smaller than Yeom Jun-yeol, which made me look even darker.

Hyangrok tightened his grip as the wrist he was holding became slightly thinner, and Sleep Yang opened his mouth wide and froze when he saw my face.

Hwang Ji Ho spoke with a shady face.

“Jo Eui Shin, I’m not trying to point out that the experiment you did was worthless. It’s just that the pain and danger you experienced were completely ignored by the existence of the number of beings......”

Hwang Ji Ho, who had been speaking slowly as if he was trying to persuade a child, eventually stopped midway.

Instead of finishing what he was about to say, Hwang Ji Ho slowly blinked his eyes and stared at me.

The silence continued for a long time.

Sleep Yang, who was the first to come to his senses, muttered in a dazed tone, “Nightmare? Jo Eui Shin? Is that guy the benefactor of the two-legged?” and only then did the surroundings hear again.

Hwang Ji Ho also opened his mouth again.

“Okay. It would be best to let him rest. Cheongho, take the private plane and take Jo Ui-shin to the mansion with Hyang-rok. I’ll send another clone to the airport to pick him up. The others, just keep interrupting him.”

“Okay. Ui-shin, let’s go.”

Cheongryong, who had been singing the praises of his benefactor, and Jecheon Daeseong, who had been saying he would take him to Geunduun, didn’t say anything.

Even though Hwang Ji-ho told them not to interrupt, the chiefs wouldn’t stay still, but they were quiet.

Sleep Yang tried to hold on with conflicting words like, ‘Wouldn’t it be better to rest? But there are nightmares, no, but still... ...’, but Hyunmu dissuaded me and I went on.

With one hand on Hyang-rok and the other on Cheongho, I headed straight for Eun Gwang-gu.

‘There are still things I want to check myself, but I guess I’ll just have to leave this place to you.’

I checked my device while I was on the move, and there were a ton of messages piled up.

The most were alarms sent by the association’s satellite, but the amount of reporting materials shared by the third-year newspaper club members in the newspaper club group message room was also considerable.

Moon Sae-ron said that there had been a huge incident at Eun Kwang-go, and he singled me out in particular.

‘The suspicious vice-president can look forward to it,’ he said, telling me to check the good news at school.

Also, Yeom Jun-yeol, despite his busy schedule, delivered the news that happened today as a senior and a student.

‘Hongryonghwa’s success and Lee Myeong’s change!’

It was a great performance that even Lee Myeong changed, so I just hoped that there was a video of Yeom Jun-yeol among the interview materials sent by the third-year students.

Moreover, Yeom Jun-yeol wasn’t the only one who was active.

Ma Jin-seung had finally become the ‘Prince of the Plains’!

In my heart, Ma Jin-seung had always been the Prince of the Plains, but I was the only one in this world who acknowledged and knew that.

But now everyone knew.

“Yes, it would be better to wait for the good news.”

Cheong-ho said as if he was seeing something difficult.

Was he worried about the elixir that Hyang-rok, who was diligently treating me, was making?

But in my current mood, I thought I could endure the elixir even if it was painful.

I checked the activities of the silver advertisement people in Jeju Island one by one.

‘Hwaro?’

When the private plane left Jeju Island and arrived on the mainland, I stopped for a moment because I saw a strange word.

Cheongho, who was checking the device, said.

“Euishin, wait a bit and then join us and move.”

Who are you talking about?

Cheongho answered before I could ask.

“Eunho will come too.”
