Chapter 6 : Investigating Their Identities in Reverse
Biwol's head drooped. She had fainted.
Gu Hui released his grip.
If he had held on with a little more force for just a moment longer, Biwol's breath would have been cut off.
Gu Hui removed Biwol's mask.
The face of a woman in her mid-twenties with a pure and elegant appearance was revealed. She was quite a beauty.
Ê n̆ü m̊а . іd
Gu Hui was calm.
The tips of Gu Hui's fingers touched three of Biwol's acupoints.

It was the sleep-inducing acupoint. Once pressed, she would not wake up for a quarter of an hour.
He slung her over his shoulder and launched himself into the air.
When Gu Hui entered the inner courtyard, Jo Manhong, who was sitting on the eaves, tilted his head.
'Huh? Who's that?'
Е̊ǹ ũ ṁä._і d
Jo Manhong, who had come down to the ground, called out to Gu Hui.
"Kkiruk, kkiruk."
When Gu Hui turned his gaze, Jo Manhong used his beak to write on the dirt floor.
[My lord, who is that woman?]

"I don't know either. I'm about to find out."
Gu Hui entered the estate.
Е̇ n̂ úm a. iď
Blinking his eyes, Jo Manhong followed behind him.
* * *
Biwol's eyes slowly opened.
"Mmm…."
Biwol looked around.
She was in an underground stone chamber.

In front of her stood the man she had been watching, and behind him was the eagle he was raising.
She tried to move her body, but it was impossible.
Her body was seated in a chair, and her wrists and ankles were tied with ropes.
Biwol let out a low groan.
'So I was caught after all… ha….'
She had never been discovered and caught by anyone while hiding before, so her shock was great.
Е n ǔ m.а̀.іd̈
Gu Hui said.
"You're awake."

"Un-untie me…."
"I'll ask again. Who are you?"
"……."
"Why were you hiding and watching me?"
Ŵӗb̂ n õv ӗ l̃ Е núm̆ а
Biwol was silent for a moment.
As a member of a secret information organization, she could not reveal her identity or the organization she belonged to. If she confessed one thing, the man would eventually try to get more information. So she made up a lie.
"I am a female martial artist who acts as a chivalrous hero. I heard a rumor that a dark path organization called the Black Tiger Gang was tyrannizing small merchants in Mugang County, so I came to investigate. I came to their headquarters to punish the Black Tiger Gang, but I witnessed you killing them first, young hero. So I was curious about who you were to kill the members of the Black Tiger Gang, so I followed you. I had no other intentions. I just followed you out of curiosity."
Gu Hui's calm eyes stared directly into Biwol's.

Biwol flinched.
It felt as if the man's bottomless pit-like eyes, which she couldn't read, were seeing right through her.
Еnu̇m̃ а̇
She swallowed hard.
Gu Hui, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
"Is that all?"
"Yes. It's the truth."
Gu Hui did not completely believe the woman's words.
In an instant, the tips of Gu Hui's fingers shot out and pressed three of Biwol's acupoints. He had pressed the sleep-inducing acupoint again.

Biwol's eyes closed, and her head drooped.
Gu Hui's gaze turned to Jo Manhong.
"Manhong, what do you think? Does it seem like she's telling the truth?"
"Kkiruk, kkirooruk kkirooruk, kkiroorooruk. (Yes. From what I can see, it doesn't seem like she's lying.)"
Since the floor was made of stone, Jo Manhong could not answer in writing.
But since he nodded as he answered, Gu Hui understood his meaning.
Wеb ň ӧ v̇ е l Е n um̌ a
Gu Hui said softly.
"We'll find out if we investigate."

He intended to find out for sure who she was.
Gu Hui made a talisman using ghost yellow paper and chicken blood. Then he rolled up Biwol's sleeve.
Her skin was revealed.
Gu Hui placed the talisman on her shoulder and then chanted an incantation.
Е̌n̈umа
Then the talisman suddenly began to burn.
At the same time, the sound of burning flesh was heard. In the end, the talisman turned to ash and disappeared.
Before he knew it, the pattern drawn on the talisman was engraved on her shoulder like a tattoo.
Gu Hui rolled her sleeve back down, untied the rope binding her wrist, and then tied it a little loosely. Then he left the stone chamber with Jo Manhong.

Jo Manhong and Gu Hui came out into the inner courtyard.
Jo Manhong used his beak to write on the dirt floor and ask.
Ẅē b̌ń ôv́ е ĺ Е̂ṅ ù m̆ а
[My lord, what do you plan to do with that woman?]
"I plan to release her. I tied the rope loosely, so she'll untie it herself and leave. She should have that much skill."
[Ah, so you believe her words and are letting her go.]
"No. I don't believe her."
[Huh? What do you mean….]
"I plan to find out. Her true identity and intentions. Manhong, watch this place from a distance, and when she leaves the estate, follow her immediately. Track where she goes, find out which building she enters, and then return."

[Yes, I understand, my lord.]
"To avoid being detected by that woman's senses, you will have to fly very high. At least several hundred feet high."
At that height, there was no way he would be caught.
How could she notice an eagle flying and following her from several hundred feet high in the sky?
There would be no martial artist who could shake him off. And since he was in the sky several hundred feet high, no one could catch him.
Jo Manhong answered confidently.
Еn ü ṁ а̂
[My lord, there is one thing I have learned since becoming an eagle. And that is, my eyesight is incredibly good. She will never be able to escape my eyes.]
It meant that she would never be able to shake him off.

An eagle's eyesight is more than five times better than a human's.
They can spot the movement of a mouse crawling on the ground while flying several hundred feet high in the sky.
There was no way Biwol could escape his pursuit.
"Alright. Good work."
Ẇе́ b̌ n̆ о v e̊ l Еn ùm̌а
Leaving those words, Gu Hui entered the estate.
Jo Manhong soared into the sky and soon landed on the top of a tree a hundred feet away from the estate.
There, he waited, watching the estate until Biwol appeared.

Biwol's eyes slowly opened.
"Ugh…."
Е̄ ñ u m̀а̀
Composing herself, she looked around.
There was no one in the stone chamber.
'What happened…?'
Her consciousness had suddenly been cut off while she was answering the man's questions.
She didn't know what had happened, but now that the man was gone, it was her chance.
She tried to move her bound hands and feet.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The rope tied to her right wrist was loose.
A strange light appeared in Biwol's eyes.
She used this to untie the loosened rope. Then she untied the ropes binding her left wrist and ankles as well.
Getting up from her seat, she immediately left the stone chamber and entered the hallway.
'I must move while suppressing my presence as much as possible.'
She passed through the hallway, suppressing her presence as much as possible so as not to be discovered by the man.
Е_nū m а. i̊ d̄
Meanwhile, Gu Hui was in the room that Biwol passed by.
Gu Hui, who was resting on the bed, sensed Biwol's presence but pretended not to notice.

'She's slipping away like a rat.'
As Gu Hui was thinking that.
Before he knew it, Biwol was outside the estate and had launched herself into the air.
As she crossed the forest, she let out a sigh of relief.
Ӗ ǹūm_а . і d
'Hyu… I succeeded in escaping. That was a close call….'
If she hadn't escaped, she might have been tortured.
Biwol gave up on watching the man.
It was impossible for her to watch him with her skills.

Biwol planned to return to the Shadow Pavilion.
She planned to report to the pavilion master that she had been caught and then rest.
Ѐn ü m̃a.
Thinking so, she increased her speed.
Meanwhile, in the sky several hundred feet high, a bird was watching Biwol on the ground. The identity of that bird was Jo Manhong.
No matter how fast Biwol was, it was impossible for her to shake off Jo Manhong, who was cruising freely in the sky without any obstacles.
To Jo Manhong, Biwol was truly a rat in a trap.
Jo Manhong muttered leisurely.
"Kkiruk, kkirooroorookrook. Kkiruk! (Hehe, run as much as you want. I'll follow you anywhere. Hoho!)"

Inside the office of the Shadow Pavilion.
A woman in her late twenties with outstanding beauty sat at a table.
Her identity was the master of the Shadow Pavilion, the Blood Butterfly, Neung Sohwa.
Her actual age was in her forties, but due to the age-preserving art she had learned from the previous pavilion master, she maintained the beautiful appearance of a woman in her twenties.
Neung Sohwa was resting her chin on her hands with a worried expression.
Е́ ńŭm̀ā. і̃d
'I must find out through the mouth of Gyo Seungak, the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang's leader… my mother's whereabouts….'
The Shadow Pavilion master, Neung Sohwa, trusted her first disciple, Biwol.

She was confident that she would complete the mission and bring back the information she wanted.
At that moment, a voice came from outside.
"Pavilion Master, it's Hansang. May I enter?"
"Come in."
Е̇ñûm̂ ӓ
The general manager of the Shadow Pavilion, Maeng Hansang, entered the master's office.
Before Maeng Hansang could even pay his respects, Neung Sohwa asked.
"What happened?"
"A message from Biwol has just arrived. Here it is."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Neung Sohwa took the message that Maeng Hansang held out.
Opening the message, Neung Sohwa read the contents.
Е̃nũ m̊а̀. і̀.ḋ
[Pavilion Master, it is Biwol. I am sorry… I have failed the mission… I tried to kidnap Gyo Seungak, but I failed due to the interference of an unidentified martial artist. That martial artist slaughtered Gyo Seungak and all one hundred and twenty members of the Black Tiger Gang.]
Neung Sohwa's pupils trembled.
Failure… failure…!
It was a mission that absolutely could not fail.
She had to get the information from Gyo Seungak.
'An unidentified martial artist…? Who the hell is he to interfere with the work of the Shadow Pavilion…?!'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Thinking so, Neung Sohwa continued to read the contents of the message.
[But I witnessed something amazing. You may not believe it… but that unidentified martial artist suddenly became younger after killing the members of the Black Tiger Gang and Gyo Seungak… He was clearly a middle-aged man in his fifties when he entered the Black Tiger Gang's inner courtyard, but he suddenly changed into the appearance of a young man in his twenties….]
A strange light appeared in Neung Sohwa's eyes.
'Suddenly became younger…? Don't tell me that man has undergone the legendary fortuitous encounter of body reconstruction…? No. It can't be. Such a supreme master wouldn't be dealing with a mere dark path thug organization. It's probably a special martial art that maintains a youthful appearance, like the age-preserving art I learned. Hmm, if his appearance changed so drastically in an instant… it was probably the use of a face-changing art.'
A face-changing art is a martial art that changes one's appearance.
Neung Sohwa guessed that the man had used a face-changing art.
Е n̈ úm̃a .і d̊
She finished reading the contents of the message.
[I am currently following and watching him. I have found his residence. I am waiting for the pavilion master's decision on whether to continue watching him or to return to the main headquarters immediately. I will await your reply.]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
There was no need to think about it.
Neung Sohwa intended to find out the man's identity.
She would find out why he had killed Gyo Seungak, the target of the Shadow Pavilion.
Neung Sohwa wrote a reply on a letter.
È.n̊ ůḿа
[Continue to watch him. Report any new information you obtain about him.]
Neung Sohwa handed the completed letter to Maeng Hansang.
"Send it to the Mugang County branch immediately."
"Understood."

Maeng Hansang, having paid his respects, left the office.
Left alone, Neung Sohwa sighed.
Ẁ е́ bnо v̌ё ľ Е ňü m̂а
"Haa… things have gotten complicated."
At this time, Neung Sohwa did not know.
That Biwol, far from watching, had been captured by Gu Hui and was now fleeing back to the Shadow Pavilion.

On the ridge of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, which surrounds Shen Prefecture in Hebei Province.
Biwol, who had been using her movement technique, stopped and caught her breath.

"Hoo… I've finally arrived."
Her gaze turned to a tall pavilion a hundred feet away.
That pavilion was the main headquarters of the Shadow Pavilion.
After traveling for two full days, she had finally arrived at the main headquarters.
Biwol, who had moved her steps, arrived at the entrance of the pavilion.
Four gate guards paid their respects and let Biwol in.
Е n̂um̆ а̃
Meanwhile, there was someone watching that scene from several hundred feet up in the sky, Jo Manhong in the form of an eagle.
'Hoho, so this is where they've built their nest. I should hurry back and inform my lord.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Jo Manhong turned around. His body moved quickly, cutting through the sky.
Meanwhile, Biwol, who had entered the main headquarters, went straight to the master's office.
The Shadow Pavilion master, Neung Sohwa, blinked her eyes and asked.
"Wol…? How are you here…? Didn't you say you were investigating that unidentified martial artist?"
E ṅ u̇ m̌а̌ .і̄ d̄
"About that, Master…."
Biwol reported what she had experienced to the pavilion master.
That she had been captured by Gu Hui and interrogated, and then had luckily succeeded in escaping. And that she had run nonstop to the main headquarters after that.
Biwol lowered her head with a gloomy face.

"I failed the mission and was even caught by the martial artist I was supposed to be watching…. I have no excuse. I am sorry, Master…."
Neung Sohwa patted Biwol's shoulder.
Еn úm а . ї d̂
"No. It's alright, Wol. I'm just glad you returned without getting hurt…."
She had almost lost her beloved disciple.
Neung Sohwa was relieved just by the fact that her disciple had returned safely.
Biwol felt sorry and at the same time touched by her master's words of comfort.
Neung Sohwa said.
"You've been through a lot. You must be tired, so go to your quarters and rest."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Yes, Master…."
Biwol left the office.
Left alone, Neung Sohwa had a gloomy expression.
"Haa… what should I do now…."
It was fortunate that her disciple had returned safely, but thinking of her mother, it was a great pity that she had not been able to kidnap the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang.
She had to think about what to do from now on.
Е n̄ uḿ ӓ . iď

The distance that Biwol had traveled in two days, Jo Manhong covered in just one hour.

There are no obstacles in the sky. So he could go in a straight line on the fastest path.
Moreover, in the body of an eagle that flies at an incredible speed, it was bound to be faster than a human's speed.
Slowing down, Jo Manhong descended to the ground and landed in the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, Gu Hui was standing with his hands behind his back.

"What happened?"
[I have found their headquarters. What do you plan to do now? If you wish to go, I will guide you, my lord.]
"Now that I know the location, that's enough for now."
He had no intention of going now.

Now that he knew the location, he could go anytime if a reason arose.
He had something else in mind for now.
È n̂ ùm̆ á .і̀ d
"Good work, Manhong. Go and rest."
[Yes, my lord.]
Gu Hui entered the estate, and Jo Manhong went to hunt for rats.
Entering the underground stone chamber, Gu Hui dipped a brush in chicken blood and then drew a formation on the floor.
Gu Hui, who had entered the circular formation, sat down cross-legged.
"Shall we begin."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Closing his eyes, he chanted an incantation.
A red light rose from the formation like vines and wrapped around Gu Hui's body.
His consciousness gradually faded.
* * *
Biwol, who had just finished bathing and entered her quarters, lay down on the bed.
"Haa… I can finally rest…."
W ѐ bn̊.о.v̇ el Ėn uṁа̂
As she lay there, feeling the comfort, she suddenly rolled up her sleeve.
On her shoulder was a strange, picture-like scar that remained like a tattoo.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She had discovered the scar a little while ago while bathing in the bathroom.
It stung a little when she touched it.
'Did he torture me when I was unconscious for a moment?'
When she was captured by that unidentified martial artist, she had lost consciousness for a moment.
Е ňû m̃ а̀. і d̆
It seemed he had tortured her during that time.
The strange thing was why he had tortured her by inflicting such a wound while she was unconscious. And why he had left such a picture-like wound….
She didn't understand.
Breaking away from her thoughts, she shook her head.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Ah, I don't know. I need to rest now…."
Suddenly, Biwol couldn't finish her sentence. A crimson light arose from the scar on her shoulder.
Е̂ nù m а̄
Her body began to tremble. Her eyes rolled back in her head, and foam spewed from her mouth. Then her head drooped, and her movements stopped.
In the midst of the silence, the light that had been flickering from the scar disappeared, and her head slowly lifted.
Her eyes were still rolled back. Nevertheless, her expression was indifferent.
She slowly looked around. Then she got up from the bed and walked to where the bronze mirror was.
Her steps were clumsy and awkward. It was as if her joints were moving separately. And it was like the walk of a drunkard.
After confirming her face in the bronze mirror, she curled her lips and said softly.

"Hoo… it was a success. Now, shall we find out their identities."
It was Gu Hui, who had temporarily possessed Biwol's body through an art.
The scar created on Biwol's shoulder was, in fact, like a talisman that enabled possession.
The time limit for this art was one mealtime (30 minutes).
Within that time, he had to find out what kind of organization this was.
Currently, Biwol's consciousness was temporarily confined in the deep abyss of her inner mind.

Biwol, in her form, Gu Hui opened the door and left the quarters.
