The red tide rolled its eyes and tried to run at Hyuk Ri-wook. Yeon Woo-hyuk hurriedly stopped. The shock of being threatened with his life by a mere Pokkeok made Hyuk Ri-wook even more upset.

“Brother Woohyuk. That exhilaration…”

‘Oops.’

“You know what righteous indignation is. okay! It’s like watching Woohyuk’s older brother when he was a plucker.”

“…thank you. Let’s go find it quickly.”

“Jung, please find Sojeo Jeong.”

Hyeok Ri-wook belatedly realized the situation and begged.

“You keep quiet. ruler. There are no traces…”

In fact, Paeng Juseong and Red Tide did not worry too much.

I don’t know if I didn’t know it disappeared or if it was too late, but it wasn’t too difficult to find it since I caught the traces like this.

Paeng Juseong learned the tracking technique in preparation for when he was traveling around the river in Sega, and the red tide was a killer, so he was excellent at tracking.

“There are traces here.”

“Here I found it!”

“?”

“?”

Peng Juseong and Red Tide looked at each other.

“Aren’t the branches broken and the bushes cleared here? People have to move to go this way.”

“Here are footprints and fallen iron coins. These are traces of human touch.”

Hyuk Ri-wook was taken aback by the confrontation between the two. Why are you so proud of yourself?

“Which of the two is right for you? There is no time for this!”

“I want you to be quiet. look A branch here could just break…”

“Boughs can break even animals. You should see the footprints.”

“Aren’t those footprints too few in number? Isn’t that someone else?”

At that time, Yeon Woo-hyuk spoke from afar.

“Found the trail! Come quickly!”

“……”

“……”

***

Sometimes all the coincidences and bad luck twist things. That’s how Jung So-jeo disappeared.

Starting from the fact that the servants went in the wrong way, all the actions they took while wandering around made it difficult to track down.

‘It’s more annoying to run with your own body.’

The trail was not easy to find from the outside because it was on a hard road and dust was flying. Even though I knew it with my head, I could barely catch it with my spiritual eyes, so I could see how faint it was.

Yeon Woo-hyuk sped up and said.

“The branch was touched by an animal.”

“Ha, but there were traces of cleaning?”

“I am a hunter who chased animals. By the way, the footprints over there were made by hunters.”

“……”

“……”

The two Murim people had nothing to say even with ten mouths. Hyuk Ri-wook seemed to have a sense of who to ask here.

“Look, Yeon Podu. Please find Sojeo Jeong! I’ll do anything…”

Puck!

Paeng Juseong hit Hyeokriuk. When Hyuk Ri-wook slumped, Paeng Ju-seong hesitated.

“hmm. I didn’t mean to faint.”

“You did very well.”

The red tide nodded as if very satisfied. Paeng Ju-seong thought to himself at the sight of Pok-kwa serving his younger brother Woo-hyeok.

‘There are many exorcists under Woohyuk’s younger brother, but he is the one I like the most!’

“I finally found the footprints this time!”

“Here are the traces of dropping the palanquin…!”

“Neither one. The footprints are the servants who went to fetch water, and the shaft was broken when the palanquin was set down. Please come this way.”

Paeng Ju-seong and Jeok-jo chased after Yeon Woo-hyeok, feeling infinitely stupid. The two glanced at each other. He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to know what he was thinking.

The two nodded. It just felt like we were friends.

Salmak disappearance case (4)

Running for half an hour, Yeon Woo-hyuk caught 18 fake traces. Even Paeng Ju-seong, who liked him, was angry.

“These servants would have stayed still if they knew they were lost. Why are they wandering around like this!”

Of course, he could have been angry because he had gone down the wrong path several times, but in Yeon Woo-hyuk’s eyes, he seemed to be angry because of what he had just said.

– Woohyuk Ah! I’m pretty sure this is It’s Jeong So-jeo’s footprint!

-I went there for a while to drink water and was surprised by the bugs.

-……

Even when people hide their embarrassment, they tend to get angry. Yeon Woo-hyeok understood Paeng Ju-seong’s heart.

“Those who have never had the experience of roaming the mountains are more likely to get confused when they get lost.”

“Nevertheless it is. I really want it!”

“Looks like we’re almost there. I saw the trail getting closer and closer…”

Yeon Woo-hyuk found a trace while talking and furrowed his eyebrows.

‘sh*t. I should have found it before coming here.’

If Yeon Woo-hyeok’s memory is correct, the three traces in front of him, footprints, torn cloth, and scattered shoes, were the last traces. Now, after this, I was able to find the person who disappeared unconditionally.

The problem was that these traces were the most vicious clues.

A clue that the real answer changes every time you solve it!

In order to find the right answer, I had to look for the smallest traces left in each clue and see if it had changed or not.

Besides, that wasn’t the end. If you take your time here…

‘no. There’s no need for that!’

“older brother. Brother, please go to the left. enemy exhilaration. Enemy exhilaration to the right! I will go to the middle.”

“Okay!”

The two who followed Yeon Woo-hyuk moved right away without any explanation. I don’t know why, but I thought that there must be a reason why Yeon Woo-hyuk was divided like that and asked me to find him.

Kicking off the ground and spreading light air, Yeon Woo-hyeok turned his body half a turn and looked back. It was a light attack with bizarre movements, but it was unavoidable because it was faster to move like this.

Fortunately, I had a spiritual eye, so the problem of not being able to see behind was not much of a hindrance. Yeon Woo-hyuk widened the realm of spiritual eyes by widening the distance.

‘found!’

In the distance, a woman who looked like a woman from a prestigious family had fallen. Surprisingly, the one in front was a tiger. Yeon Woo-hyuk sped up when he saw the tiger growling ferociously as if it were about to attack at any moment.

‘This is why I didn’t like it!’

This is why Yeon Woo-hyeok wanted to end this pursuit quickly.

Unlike other cases, it was impossible to breathe even a little bit as an attack by a beast would occur if it was delayed.

Bido caught at the fingertips of Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was running. The talhonbido finished preparing to fly once again and shone.

At that moment, a zimohwan (子母丸) popped out of Jeong Sojeo’s sleeve and hit the tiger’s forehead precisely. The tiger, caught in a critical spot while being careless, roared.

“!?”

Surprisingly, Yeon Woo-hyuk’s fingertips moved accurately. It was only a first-class entry, but the sensation itself was different from when it was second-class. The inner energy, which exceeded half a sudden, rode and circulated vigorously throughout the body, moving toward one purpose.

One second of martial arts only for extreme pleasure!

The stopped tiger collapsed with a ‘puk’ sound. Jeong Yeo-hye was surprised and turned her head.

“who are you?!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk felt sorry for him.

‘Could the herb-sik just be a martial art of Salmak?’

Come to think of it, Jeong Yeo-hye’s mother was the daughter of Elder Salmak, so it was no surprise that she had been taught martial arts.

Looking at the realm, it was only a third-rate, but the martial arts of the killer is more scary than being strong in the first place. Yeon Woo-hyuk raised his guard.

“I am the enemy…”

“Are you leaving a kite?”

‘this.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized that fame was more troublesome than he thought.

I tried to name the red tide and move on, but I realized that the other person was Yeon Woo-hyuk just by looking at the outfit.

“you’re right. Are you satisfied?”

“yes. too, please help The servants suddenly ran away…”

Jeong Yeo-hye trembled in a frightened voice and said. However, as Yeon Woo-hyeok had just seen Cho-sik, he never let his guard down and opened his spiritual eyes. The person who inherited the memorization of salmun couldn’t do that because of the tiger.

‘…no. sh*t.’

Surprisingly, Jeong Yeo-hye was contemplating whether to attack Yeon Woo-hyeok or not!

Yeon Woo-hyeok decided that it would be better to strike the ball in advance than to have an accident happen before Paeng Ju-seong or the red tide came.

“Sojeo Jeong. There is no point in attacking me. The Murim people from where Jadang left came to see Jeong Sojeo.”

“!”

Jeong Yeo-hye’s eyes shook. However, Jeong Yeo-hye quickly calmed down her expression and said.

“Woah, what are you talking about? Kite Podu. This is where your mother left.”

“Can I say your name here? There are no people, but maybe there are ears to hear.”

“……”

Jeong Yeo-hye’s expression suddenly changed. Yeon Woo-hyeok admired inwardly that Elder Salmun’s veins had not been severed at the cold appearance that could easily kill at least one person.

“What do you want, Fodu?”

“Sojeo Jeong. Don’t get me wrong. I was just intimidated.”

At Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words, Jeong Yeo-hye’s eyes relaxed a little. In an already complicated situation, if Podu was a blackmailer, it would have been a headache.

“What do you want from there? Mother’s martial arts?”

“no. They just want to help you.”

“what?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk briefly explained that Jeong Yeo-hye’s maternal grandfather had died and that the murderers had come to Hankyung to keep the will. Hearing that, Jeong Yeo-hye was stunned.

“The killers came here just to keep the will with no other purpose? Do you want me to believe that?”

‘It certainly sounds strange.’

I didn’t notice it when I heard it directly from the shooters, but from Jeong Yeo-hye’s point of view, when the shooters from Salmak came and offered to help out of the blue, I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What are these shooters up to?’

Wouldn’t it be even more strange for the murderers, who had no blood or tears, to suddenly say they wanted to help?

‘But it’s none of my business.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk had no intention of persuading Jeong Yeo-hye.

“Sojeo Jeong. I’m just being threatened so I’m just contacting you. If Jung So-jeo doesn’t want it, I’ll pass it on. What should I do?”

Jeong Yeo-hye became even more confused when Podu tried to calmly back down without any persuasion or conciliation.

Did the killers really come to help without any intention?

“…no. I would like to meet you I need to hear what you’re talking about. If you come even to the mansion, the problem will grow.”

“It is said that even the conspirators did not visit the mansion for fear of becoming a nuisance.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk praised the red tide a little more while he was dismissed. Jeong Yeo-hye seemed to feel a little relieved at those words.

“Looks like you have a brain to think about that much. In the first place, my grandfather took coriander as a guest in case the killers came. If I came in without thinking, I would have died.”

‘It was something like that.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized why there was an uproar when the killers originally visited.

Jeong Yeo-hye’s grandfather knew the relationship with Salmak, so he prepared thoroughly.

“Yeon Podu! I caught the servants here.”

“I have caught the horse.”

Paeng Juseong and Red Tide, who went to the other side, returned. In the meantime, the two became close friends and complimented each other.

“The enemy’s exuberant talent is so outstanding.”

“It’s nothing compared to Pang Daehyeop.”

‘Can the two of them be close like that?’

While Woo-hyuk Yeon was puzzled, Yeo-hye Jeong looked at him. It was a call to create opportunities.

“Looks like Jeong So-jeo was injured while running without a carriage. Could you possibly ride a horse?”

“If it’s slow…”

“Enemy exhilaration. You will lead the horse.”

At Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words, the red tide was delighted and grateful. Paeng Juseong looked at the servants he had arrested with stern eyes.
