Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Chapter 306: Data Extraction Simulation (2)

It was not difficult to call Cheon Miryo over. After stepping into the Profound Demon level, Seol-Hwi knew that she was always hovering around him.

So that she can come when he needs her.

“Lady Cheon, I have something to talk to you about.”

He left the place and quietly called for her, close to a whisper.

Basak

As expected, she appeared before he realized it.

“Warrior Seol. You called?”

—Fully prepared for the late night.

Seeing that, Seol-Hwi was curious. Was she usually like this or was she resting?

What was certain was that at the Supreme Demon level, he could not even feel her presence. It was proof that she was stronger than him.

I will soon find out.

The future was yet to come. And considering that there would be no chance of contacting her in the next life, Seol-Hwi needed her help even more so now.

“Miss. This time, it seems like the situation is beyond my control.”

Cheon Miryo frowned.

“What exactly are you saying?”

“Perhaps this time they are directly intervening.”

“Ah…”

She groaned.

Cheon Miryo seemed to understand what he meant. The existence which continued to grant power and made Seol-Hwi the warrior, that system was directly moving this time.

“A few times recently… Regardless of my will, fate has happened to move the body and my surroundings. Because of that I couldn’t cope and almost died.”

Seol-Hwi recalled what happened recently.

“If that happens again, I will lose my mind before the war starts or I will do something I wouldn’t normally do. Then I will come to my senses in the most difficult or worst condition.”

If he was lucky, he might have the chance to turn things around. However this time, it could have gone to a point of no return.

“…What do I do?”

At Cheon Miryo’s question, Seol-Hwi took a deep breath and spoke again,

“Miss, watch how things are going and wake me up somehow if things are taking a wrong turn.”

“How? If fate intentionally makes you lose your mind, then how will…”

“It is just an assumption I don’t want to make, but fate will somehow reach me if my body is close to death.”

“…!”

She frowned slightly. Seol-Hwi’s words meant that if needed, drive him to the brink of death, even by using force. It was quite a risky move. Even if it was dangerous.

However, at the words of Seol-Hwi which came, she understood there was no other way.

“Please, if there is anyone around who can handle this, then it is just you.”

So, Seol-Hwi explained what had happened. He explained as briefly as he could and in detail at the same time, with a serious face without a smile.

Cheon Miryo, who listened to it, nodded.

Fortunately, she was taking Seol-Hwi’s words seriously.

That night—

Seol-Hwi could not sleep until late.

He turned around and lay down, agonizing as he fell asleep. All work had been done.

He told Cheon Miryo what she had to do. But even so, there was still something unsettling about it.

More than anything, it was because it was different from what he experienced.

Three causal relationships.

Maybe this was also a trap?

Could a simulation start without bothering to twist the other two? Currently, the remaining options were the End Demon and Goo Jong-myung.

What could he say to them to change this situation?

Originally, there would have been no need to worry about this. Now it was safe to say that Seol-Hwi was in an unknown advantageous position. But rather—

There is no way they will leave me alone.

It was possible to draw the conclusion that the system was going to put him in a difficult situation one way or another. No matter how accurate the answer was, no matter how many times he tried to move, unexpected things would arise and cause a crisis to appear.

So how should they deal with this?

Phew.

Seol-Hwi looked back at each crisis that he experienced. In most cases, he could get away with it somehow and managed to get away with his mind. But the crisis he was facing now was the system throwing away his “self” at its will.

In this case, coping with it turned out to be impossible.

At least, if he was sane, he could solve the situation properly, but if it was operating automatically, what could a normal human being do?

This is why I need the help of Cheon Miryo.

Currently there was just one way to do it. If he moved according to the system’s will, she was the existence of a reliable ally who could stop it.

So he entrusted this task to her. For now, this was the best he could do. However, he was still anxious about it.

Is there really nothing else?

.

Was there something he was missing out on? Was it right to block all the possibilities? Such concerns came up to him, sooner than expected.

“Commander.”

“…!

Flinch!

Seol-Hwi flinched at the voice of Seo Ryeong. There was a hint of shock.

“That, the First Disciple came here.”

“…”

Right, no matter how much he prepared for the future.

The opponent would not stand still. In this way, there might be cases where situations come too close to him.

“Where is he?”

Seol-Hwi asked. Fortunately, the visit of the First Disciple was within his plans.

Click. Click.

Even the lanterns were turned off in the alley around the guest house. Only the occasional crackle of night guards on patrol could be heard.

It was late in the night, but it had rained, so the movement of pebbles was barely visible.

Wheeein….

On the other side of the alley, moonlight stretched out all around. It was a night at the guest house, where the deep green trees felt like a castle today.

Tak

Seol-Hwi met them in a room with luxurious murals.

It was the End Demon and his two subordinates.

“Well, what would you like to have for tea?”

The atmosphere was chilly. And the End Demon glared at Seol-Hwi who talked without emotions.

The killing intent of the warrior was not something which could be stopped.

“…Cheeky bastard,”

The End Demon said with killing intent. But Seol-Hwi was not intimidated at all.

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

He had been through too many miserable deaths in the past for him to step back in fear. From the time he had cut an arm off by himself, being attacked by someone he trusted, and contempt for his own pathetic self who lost his subordinates and ripped out the heart—

The ordeals he had been through had significantly increased the level of fear he could endure.

“Hmmm.”

So, he endured recalling the moments of despair, and the End Demon’s expression changed slightly.

“Well, that is a complement. I cannot act like an idiot without acknowledging the one who drove me to this point. Sheesh.”

The End Demon opened a bottle and filled his glass without asking Seol-Hwi.

Swish

And he naturally emptied the glass.

“…”

“…”

Pour

For a moment there was silence in the room. All they could hear were the howls in the deep night.

They…

Seol-Hwi turned the attention to the warriors who accompanied the End Demon.

Hyang Gae and Si Ah-young. They were people he knew, and they were tricky ones to fight too.

“They…”

“Ah, right. Right.”

When Seol-Hwi asked, the End Demon waved his hand as if he only thought of it right then.

“You people can head out. I want to talk to him alone.”

“…Yes.”

“Yes.

The two bowed and withdrew without saying anything as if had they expected this. Rather it was Seol-Hwi who was surprised.

“…”

What is he even talking about?

The End Demon reacted suddenly, and as if he knew everything, he reached right for Seol-Hwi.

As for the cause, there was just one.

Wudang and harmony with them.

The purpose of the mission was not decided by the system, but Seol-Hwi saw this as an advance to prevent him from joining Wudang.

Because if Wudang fell, Shaolin would not survive for long. If this happened, there would be a situation where he cannot do anything.

So if he had any questions–

What could he even say to the End Demon to stop his advance?

“Honestly, I am surprised.”

When Seol-Hwi was in thought, the End Demon spoke first, as his expression and speech had changed. It was a first for Seol-Hwi to see him like this.

“At least the fact that you touched Supreme Demon as a beginner, and the work you showed so far has exceeded the results. I was heated and angry at first but when my head cooled down, I realized it was stupid.”

What?

At his words, Seol-Hwi looked up but did not say a thing. Actually, he did not know what the End Demon meant, so he was curious to know what he meant.

The End Demon sipped the glass and smiled, as if he enjoyed this situation.

“Huh, you do not even deny it. Well, Master has a bad personality… would he like to attach a guy like this to the Fourth one whom we had left alone till now… no, it is stupid. It isn’t just a day or two.”

“…!”

Seol-Hwi realized that the End Demon had some sort of misunderstanding. But when he thought about it, would it ever make sense?

The Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts were there. And did he not show the Heavenly Demon’s footwork too?

And for a short moment he was worried. Would it have been better to just lie? Or refute it?

In the brief glance, Seol-Hwi said,

“…You figured it out in the end?”

He decided to pretend for now. In the current situation, he decided that it would be better to go ahead with the thought.

It was to take advantage of the opponent’s thoughts and mistakes and turn them into an advantage for him.

In the first place, he had the chance.

He deceived people as he called himself the disciple of Cheon Miryo, whom he had never met.

“I thought you wouldn’t know till the end.”

“What… to be honest, it was almost like that because I wasn’t sure at first.”

Like a cunning fox, the End Demon was coming to a conclusion in the only way he knew.

“But when I thought about it, there was no other action. The Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts, the Heavenly Demon King’s Step. Martial arts which only the sect leader could know. You used them. And then coming to the conclusion is kind of natural.”

“…”

“What I don’t understand is why he didn’t reveal that he chose you… come to think of it, it also makes sense. It must be his secret plan right? Sneaking, pranks, things like that.”

“…”

Seol-Hwi was the disciple of Heavenly Demon—

The misunderstanding that he would be the hidden Fifth Disciple.

He had no choice but to do so. If it was not for this misunderstanding, no one would understand what was happening.

Then, who on earth would be able to face the End Demon, so many times.

Indeed, in spite of the cooperation with the Second Disciple and Third Disciple, could anyone survive even after breaking every situation he put Seol-Hwi through? 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

“I will say it again.”

Only then did End Demon begin to start the main topic.

“Come under me. Fifth one.”

It was like this.
