The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 840 (840/880)
Knock knock. I shook my body here and there.
The pain still lingered in his body.
It doesn’t usually hurt this much, but this one had a lot of recoil.
“Ugh.”
I endured the recoil, drooling.
My bones still ached and my muscles still screamed.
“Oh, crap.”
I can’t do this. I tried it once and I’m regretting it greatly.
“Is it too much to imitate someone else’s body?”
It may be possible to transform the frame I have, but it seems difficult to change it to a completely different frame.
Not only did I have to change my height, but I also had to change my wrinkles and physical characteristics, and it took a tremendous amount of energy to maintain it.
Perhaps, if it had been just a little bit later, the gas transformation technique would have been released.
No, it would have definitely been solved.
“… Hooooo… .”
He sighed and wiped the sweat away.
I thought I had improved my skill level, but this is what I got when I tried to make a change. Does this mean I can’t use this area yet?
Although this part was a bit disappointing, there was one bright spot.
‘… Not yet, you say?’
It’s not usable yet. So, wouldn’t it be possible someday? That was the hope.
Thud-! He touches my shoulder and aligns the bone.
These are the parts that didn’t work properly because they couldn’t keep up with the returning speed.
This also meant that the disguise just now wasn’t very well done.
That too, quite a bit.
‘If there had been more, there’s a greater chance that they would have been caught, let alone released.’
Since it was a hastily put together situation, Ilcheonggeom would have definitely noticed.
That’s because he’s a guy with better intuition than you’d think.
‘You said you noticed it as soon as you got here.’
The guy immediately noticed the strange phenomenon spreading through the forest.
That alone means he’s a pretty sensitive guy.
That’s understandable, because the one who was causing trouble in this forest was none other than the Dark King.
“… You can leave now.”
“yes.”
The answer to my question came right next to me. It was the Dark King without even needing to look.
“Thank you, it worked out well. Thank you.”

“no.”
As always, the dark king reacts as if it’s nothing, if he weren’t there, he wouldn’t have done this in the first place.
As I said before, the transformation into another character was quite poorly done.
Even if I tried to make it look similar somehow, the details were different.
The number of wrinkles, the fineness of the corners of the eyes, and even the lines of the body.
Not everything could be perfect, and it could be quite jarring for experts who are always aware of their opponent’s body.
What should I do?
Should I try another way? I thought about it, and fortunately, there was a way.
The method was simple.
If you say that it is easy to notice because the level of completion is low, then why don’t you just cover it up so that people don’t notice it?
‘Of course, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear the same mask.’
The method I chose was not to cover my face, but to cover Ilcheonggeom’s eyes.
To be exact, rather than actually covering your eyes… .
‘It blurs the five senses.’
Lowering the clarity of the five senses that a person possesses, making it difficult to perceive properly.
That’s what I wanted.
There are several ways to do this.
By using formations, spreading air pressure to suppress the opponent’s spirit, or using poison.
There are countless things to try if you look for them, but none of them are mine to choose from.
He doesn’t know how to use the formation properly. If he spreads the air pressure, Ilcheonggeom will notice it right away.
Poison is no different.
So what was left? The answer was simple.
‘If I can’t do it, I ask someone who can.’
Since it was bound to be obvious when you did it, you could just ask someone who didn’t seem to notice it even when they tried.
Fortunately for me, I had an expert in this field right by my side. I went straight to the Dark King and asked him to speak to me.
When asked if he could lower the aura of the Ilcheong Sword without making it obvious, the Dark King immediately did so.
At first it looked like something was going on around the mountain, but I couldn’t make out the details.
The important thing here is.
‘Whatever it was, Ilcheonggeom wasn’t in his right mind.’
The moment he entered this mountain. That was the beginning.
The guy stepped into this place and slowly became less energetic. Slowly, without even realizing it.
‘I was a little nervous when you said you noticed it a little.’
I heard that he noticed something strange, but fortunately he didn’t seem to notice it much.
‘Thanks to you, things went smoothly.’
The Ilcheonggeom, whose senses were low, could not properly recognize my poor disguise.

This also helped cover up his poor acting skills. Also.
‘I also know that it’s something that can’t be done twice.’
We also confirmed that this is something that cannot be used right away.
‘Not bad.’
I tried and it didn’t fail.
Moreover, since we even got a harvest, it was bound to be a considerable profit.
But, if there is one thing I am worried about.
‘I doubt I believed everything… This is probably okay.’
If you don’t believe it, just react accordingly. What’s important is that the Ilcheonggeom was shaken enough.
I thought of the Ilcheonggeom whose eyes had wavered just before.
‘How far will you go?’
It’s funny to say that it was above in the first place, but it seems like it believes it’s flying on its own, so I can only wonder.
How far will the Ilcheonggeom, which directly cut off my wings, fall? Will it crash to the ground and die?
‘Or else… .’
Should I choose self-destruction after realizing that I was never flying in the first place?
Of course, either way.
There will be no change in the end for this bastard.
******************
It’s a little early for dawn to come.
It was nighttime, so the lights were on in the branch.
Sarak.
I was sitting in my room, looking at two letters as if comparing them.
“… It seems to be toward the east… The direction we identified is similar… .”
Could there be something else?
Or maybe there is something similar. I checked this and looked into it closely.
The identity of the letter was none other than a mission report, a report sent by those entrusted with reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.
If there is a difference, one is sent by the volunteers, and the other is sent by the volunteers.
I’ve been receiving it this way ever since I started the mission.
“Hmm… .”
I had to check the contents and frown as if I was uncomfortable.
‘The information is similar.’
The reason was that the information sent from both sides was quite similar.
“It looks like you’ve noticed this.”
He smiled and folded the letter.
It doesn’t seem like a bad thing to have overlapping research information. The problem is that, from my perspective, I had to think about several things.
Advertisements
To avoid overlapping information, numbers were written down from the beginning.
The reason is.
‘Because it’s easiest to obscure information.’
Anyway, most of the information sent by the Maeng faction is fake. More than half of it was like that.
I don’t think it’s strange. That’s what I was told to do.
This method was convenient for weeding out the guys who were doing shit.
Because I could filter out all the idiots.
But.
‘Now that the information is becoming more and more similar.’
It’s one of two things.
The first one was dangerous, so I backed off a little. Or.
‘I found out too late.’
If you notice that you have asked multiple people to gather information.
The way I see it, it was one of these two.
‘hmm.’
There was no need to do more since we had already weeded out those who were going to be weeded out anyway, but there was one thing that was bothering me.
‘How did you know?’
How on earth did you figure that out? That’s a bit annoying.
No one but me knows that I had several people do the collecting.
What’s more, they even tied a knot so that no one could ask each other questions.
What I noticed in this situation was… .
‘Did someone spill it?’
A thought crossed my mind that someone might have leaked this information intentionally.
And, if the information was leaked.
“Is that you?”
Since there was a suspicious person, I looked at him straight in the eye and asked.
“…yes?”
The man is embarrassed by the question. The man’s true identity is none other than Moon Do-hyeok.
“About this letter. Are you the one who kept spewing it out?”
“Oh, no…!”
Moon Do-hyeok was startled by my words and said:
“no?”
“Really… I, I didn’t know anything about the report.”
“Hmm… .”
Falak.

I looked at Moon Do-hyeok, swinging the letter I was holding like a fan. As soon as my gaze met, the bastard lowered his stiff head to the ground.
I could really feel how nervous he was.
“Whether you did or not, it doesn’t really matter. I was literally just asking.”
As I said before, it’s too late now. Those who wanted to know have already figured it out.
And that guy was included in it too.
So it got even weirder.
“That’s really unexpected.”
“yes…?”
“Why did you betray me?”
“…”
Why did that guy come here?
No matter how much I thought about the reason, I couldn’t understand it.
“… That… As I said… .”
“No, I really don’t know.”
I heard that, but I still don’t understand.
“I can’t remember the name… It seems a bit subtle even to you.”
“…”
The reason why Moon Do-hyeok left Ilcheonggeom behind and told me about the matter.
That was all there was to it.
Because I couldn’t remember my name. The reason was that Ilcheonggeom couldn’t remember his own name.
‘What is that?’
It’s ridiculous.
How can you call it betrayal just because you don’t remember my name?
Ah, so it didn’t matter to him since he was a spy from the beginning? No, if that’s the case, it’s strange that he betrayed the Blue Dragon Corps and joined my side.
Because to others, it will look like this side is noticeably behind.
at that time.
“…I am….”
Moon Do-hyeok carefully speaks to me.
“…I have been at Cheongryongdae for the past few years.”
“I know.”
I think it was four years in terms of number of times.
It wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t a short time either.
“Even though he was only a low-ranking official, I still believe he was faithful to his mission and worked hard… . But.”
“Ilcheonggeom didn’t remember your name?”
“…yes.”
Advertisements
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud while listening to the story.
I wonder if there are any such nonsensical complaints.
I know that’s not what you’re hoping for, but after hearing that, there was only one thing I could say.
“Well, that’s because it was so useless that there was no need to remember it.”
“…”
Moon Do-hyeok’s head drops further upon hearing this.
It’s a bit pitiful to see an old man like that…
“Just look at it now. Just by the fact that you joined me over something so trivial, it means that you are not a very trustworthy person.”
The fact that you came to me because you didn’t know my name.
It was too trivial to be considered a reason for betrayal.
Did you think I would like it if you betrayed them and came to me?
I guess I liked it because it had its uses. But as a human, I just hated it.
Was that displeasure reflected in his expression? Moon Do-hyuk glanced at me and then hurriedly continued speaking.
“That… that’s not all.”
“then?”
“… Well, I’m not sure about that, but…”
He hesitated and trembled as if he was about to say something. Then he opened his mouth with great difficulty and spoke to me.
“…I thought it would be better to stick to the Lord.”
“To me? Not the Ilcheonggeom?”
“yes….”
“wherefore?”
“… I’m sorry. It was just a hunch.”
I nodded my head after hearing that.
The only reason is that I don’t know the name of the persimmon and I followed the persimmon to this side.
I nodded at those words.
‘Hmm.’
I think it might be a bit more sensitive than I thought.
That thought suddenly crossed my mind.
