134 – Building a Nest
Hearing that question, the officer’s complexion turned white.
“That question doesn’t have an answer…”
Here’s a riddle.
This riddle was so easy and ambiguous that everything could be answered.
If so, ask
If everything can be correct.
Conversely, what is the wrong answer to this?
“That question is not the ‘right question’!”
The officer stepped forward and shouted before Sung Min-hyeok could say anything.
He shouted at Jinseong while barely controlling his trembling body.
“How can it be the right question when there is no clear answer!”
Jinseong stared blankly at Cheon Hee-soo and nodded her head.
Then, as if he had a beard, he stroked the air under his chin and spoke in a solemn tone.
“Therefore, speak only with the truth so that the correct answer can be given. Gather the foggy and blurred images deep inside your heart to make it clear, shape it into a form, and speak it out. It only requires the touch of truth. In other words, speak the truth, unstained by a single speck of lies, with all your heart.”
Returning to Chun Hee-soo’s protest, Jin-seong’s answer was simple.
Tell only the truth
Answer with sincerity, without lies or pretense.
Then I will give you the correct answer.
Chun Hee-soo sighed and explained the words to Seong Min-hyeok.
‘I’d rather do it…’
Chun Hee-soo wanted to deal with Jin-seong himself, but what could he do?
It was Seong Min-hyeok who Jin-seong pointed out, but he was not himself.
‘Okay. Even if you just help by the side, where is it…’
You can prevent chaos by stepping on landmines just by quietly watching from the side and giving advice.
Chun Hee-soo decided to be satisfied with that fact.
I thought this was like the relationship between a gomtaengi in a zoo and a keeper, but…
What.
Would that matter?
From noble mtl dot com
“But can’t we just go? Do we have to follow that?”
However, controlling the bear was not an easy task.
Heck, if control is easy, why are there zookeepers and trainers?
They are animals because they do not follow people’s words properly, and they are animals because they do not follow people’s intentions.
Sung Min-hyuk was no different from those animals.
The officer stopped Seong Min-hyeok from taking a sudden action while sighing deeply.
“Yes. You have to follow me. If you just run away, you don’t know what you’ll do…”
Bokchae and wages are different.
Even if Bokchae pays an intangible price, it does not go beyond the limit.
It was a story that there was no way to take away a bunch of lifespans or take away a person’s life or soul just because they looked at something precious. At most, a little bit of vitality, a little bit of longevity, a little bit of luck… It was to this extent.
Jinseong used to use it in a sophisticated form to take the price of ‘temporarily lowering resistance’, but in other words, no matter how sophisticated it was, it was only that much.
But wages are much more barbaric and violent than that.
To collect the price, the shaman can mobilize personal power.
It’s like a moneylender coming to your house and knocking on your door asking you to pay back.It was like ringing the doorbell, lurking on the way to and from work, then popping up and threatening, calling over and over again to set the phone on fire.
But even here, there is goodness, so I can’t take anything more than worth…
Considering that the price of wages is determined by bargaining, the fact that these ‘barbaric actions’ are possible… It was very meaningful.
Besides, there were many ways for a shaman to track someone who had given him work and not paid him, just as he had a GPS attached to a creditor. Cause and effect was connected and it was not finished, so finding it was an easy task for a shaman of a certain level.
You can find a compass made by tapping minerals from a specific area by floating it on the water, follow the path that leads by looking at the stars in the sky, or walk in the direction the blade points while throwing a kitchen knife.
This is just what comes to mind of Chun Hee-soo, who only picked up witchcraft right away, but how many different methods can a real witch doctor know?
“I’m not afraid of witch doctors.”
“No… Hmm. Just do it. It won’t be difficult as you only have to answer three questions.”
Chun Hee-soo pushed Seong Min-hyeok’s back by force and sent him to Jin-sung.
Seong Min-hyuk opened his mouth with a shy face.
“What is that? I’m going to answer the question, big. Just say no.”
Jinseong sat down on the well and looked at Minhyuk Seong.
That figure is half cross-legged and half open.
It was as if a pagan being imitated Buddha and thought in a half-lotus position.
“There are things that deserve to die. Those who harm and kill others. Criminals! Those like parasites who harass and destroy ordinary people’s lives!”
Helminth.
Jinsung responded to those words.
“Parasite. It’s a metaphor I use a lot, but yes. It’s right and it’s wrong.”
The mouth of the golden mask moved and made a sound.
It’s as if the low-pitched sound becomes words rather than music.
It was the kind of sound a pipe organ would make when speaking.
Jinseong uttered various voices from all over his body as if his whole body had become an instrument.
“Parasites don’t kill their hosts, so they don’t destroy life.”
“But that’s only when the number is small. When the number is large, tragedy will surely happen.”
“If the number of blood-sucking flukes increases excessively, anemia will occur in the sucked humans, and cardiac arrest due to shock can cause death.”
“Anisakis cling to the walls of the stomach, and when they increase in number, cause inflammation and puncture them, leaving people in terrible agony.”
“Even those common things increase in number and block them from carrying out proper life activities. They clog the intestines.”
“It sucks blood.”
“They eat all the nutrients.”
“It makes the host die in the end.”
“This is the evil of parasites.”
Jinseong rested his chin on his chin and looked at Seong Minhyuk.
“Since your answer contains the truth, this is not a wrong answer. Even if there is something else, can this be called wrong? Your answer is correct. So, you have given enough correct answers to the first question.”
“I just said that you have to kill criminals.
“You will have to say what the criteria for a criminal you are talking about is.”
“This is the same as pointing out that Cheon Hee-soo did not tell me what he should have known, so this is not a question. But this is what you must say. Oh, we call this our duty.”
Seong Min-hyeok silently thought about his question.
“A petty criminal… Not a felon?”
“When you say felony, do you mean killing people, violating people, and ruining people’s lives?”
“Yes.”
“Then where is the standard for judging it. Is it a corporation?”
“Yes!”
Jin-seong began to plant a delusion in Seong Min-hyeok.
“Then I ask. In a land far away, killing people under certain circumstances is not a crime. Killing for honor is that, but rather than being charged with a crime, it is praised and admired by those around you. This is definitely murder, but You are praised by the people around you. Then can this be called a sin?”
“Of course you sinned!”
“Then I ask. There is a person whose country was taken away and then regained. In front of you, the traitor who sold the country is on his knees, tied tightly with a rope, and the crowd is shouting to kill that place. If that’s the case, you kill it Is it just execution or is it murder? Everyone is killing those who want to die, so you who move your sword according to their intentions are no different from a rogue. Are you performing the duties of an ordinary executioner? Or you killed people, so this too Murder or sin?”
“Uh…”
He made Sung Min-hyuk’s head dizzy.
“Here is a person who was dragged out. This witch, who lived far away in the forest, received knowledge from Satan. He often let the experiment subjects escape and ruined the crops, causing the villagers to starve and the villagers to die from being bitten by monsters. .So the necromancer, together with the faithful, took this terrible witch, tied it up, and made the people throw stones at her until she died. “
“Then, was it right that this witch died? It was just that she was executed to pay for her crimes, so was it right? And if this was a sin. If it was a sin to kill this witch, then all those who struck her with stones Are they guilty of murder? Or is it only the one who threw the last stone to kill him? If the throwing of the stone was mere assault, how did the witch die? Are they all criminals?”
“If the law is the standard, then what is the standard? The will of the people? The texts of the law?”
“If there is a law because everyone wants it, then everything that violates the law is a crime, and anything that conforms to the law is a good thing. Are all things that exist outside the law a criminal that can be killed?”
Dizzy.
It’s terribly dizzy.
Seong Min-hyeok could only stand there blankly as he felt the words enter his head and shake his brain to and fro. The officer, who could not stand still, came to Seong Min-hyeok’s side and shouted at Jin-seong.
“I said the correct answer, so let’s ask the next question!”
“Hmm.”
It was to make Seong Min-hyeok, who is confused by the excessively injected information, shake off his thoughts.
Jinseong changed his posture when he saw the officer shouting at him.
His hand resting on his chin went down, and his head, which had been crooked, stood straight again.
The golden mask with the expressionless face of Minhyuk Sung looked straight at them again.
So the second question was raised.
“Now. I ask. This is the second question, you are correct.Tell me the answer Greater than the creator of the world, more faithful than the one who broke through the gates of heaven, richer than the rich, wider than the wide sky, deeper than hell, higher than heaven, more wicked than the devil in hell, What is this that is more sinful than the sinner who pays the penalty in the depths, more determined than death, more blessed than being born, and immortal that will exist even if the whole world ends?”
