Subdued Soul Chronicle

“Governor!”

Jin Rim called out loudly.contemporary romance

He was wearing a wide-sleeved official robe with a red jade studded belt. He had a noble look.

“The envoy of the Tang family sent us several gifts, so I was planning to stop by your mansion around this evening. There is also their famous alcohol that Seol Young-rang might like, so it would be nice to drink while we talk about the old times.”

Jin Rim had a blunt expression, but his face was smiling. It was a completely different world from the one where he was called Governor.

There was little relief in his eyes as they looked at him. They could see that Jin Rim did well in this life.

There was another one who had the same eyes.

“Look. The Tang dynasty also sent someone for you.”

Messy hair. A face that was evident of a hangover but had lively eyes.

“Hurry up and greet your sister-in-law!”

Another official was chasing a certain Hwarang.

“….”

The leader of the Blue Dragon True Troops, Seo Geom, fired cold eyes at his brother. He avoided the place as if he wasn’t worthy of it, but Seo Jun continued to tease his brother.

‘I thought that both the Governor and Seo Jun-rang would enter the Ministry of Intelligence together.’

Seol Young thought as he was walking.

The Ministry of Intelligence and Foreign Affairs. He heard that one tiger and one serpent were deployed to appease.

It seemed like Jin Rim had been selected, and Seo Jun volunteered.

‘But both of them look happy.’

On the other hand, around the Hwarangs’ Hall, young women had gathered.

“Senior Oni! This side!”

Seol Young stared at the sound of clapping and calling.

‘Senior Oni?’

At that moment, the head of a fierce dragon appeared beyond the young ones.

“Kids, be careful. Oni hasn’t had breakfast yet.”

Behind them were a few Hwarangs from the Sun and Moon troops.

‘Right. If all of them hadn’t passed away, then Oni would have been raised well.’

As Seol Young and Zaha passed by, Oni sniffed them. In this world too, he would have been close with Oni one way or another.

The Hwarangs also smiled and said,

“Governor, the Great Heavenly Pavilion Head was passed by earlier, so be careful. The Governor and the sub were the ones she was furious about, saying that you had sneaked into the shrine and taken something out of their secret library.”

“Hahaha… As if!”

“It cannot be.”

The two of them entered the meeting room, and they immediately locked the door. There was a lot of energy outside. Everyone seemed to be busy exchanging their opinions. And laughter could be heard sometimes.

Wouldn’t this be an ideal world for Zaha, though?

A world without the God of Cataclysm.

Seol Young turned to him with a bitter expression… And Zaha was mumbling,

“Sub? Aide? Does that even have a meaning? What kind of role gets called with such a lackluster name?”

And Seol Young’s sentiments shattered right then, and his face hardened.

“Who is that crazy Governor? I heard that I was doing well in the White Tiger troops without trouble, but then you did something with the alcohol and took me away to this?!”

“But you must have provoked me. ‘Alcohol will never break me. If you defeat me, I will do whatever you tell me to do.’ You would have been brought here to be tormented for a long time.”

He wanted to deny that, but it seemed that it actually happened like that.

“But right now, this is what is happening, right, Aide?”

In any case, it seemed like he didn’t want to miss the chance to bully Seol Young.

“Do not call me that. I am leaving right now.”

Seol Young responded with a cursing voice and took out his sword to see it.

The Yin and Yang plaque was attached to the Blue Rainbow sword, which he hadn’t seen for a long time.

“But I don’t have the spiritual prison that Teacher gave me. Is sorcery not used in this world?”

“I guess so. It has to be that. If such things were here, Baek San would have gotten rid of the spirits and the Devil Lair Lord.”

“Aha…”

Anyway, this world left them with the impression that the two of them had known each other since they were young.

‘And Teacher is alive…’

Baek San died early after trying to stop the God of Cataclysm, which led to him exhausting his energy. Then, without that, wasn’t it good that he was alive here?

How many times had he thought about that?

However, when he met Teacher, who was alive and well, he had forgotten about all of that. He couldn’t even speak properly.

“…”

Seol Young lost his mind.

“When we were told to get out here, did it mean to go crazy here?”

He was startled at the sound of clapping in front of him, and Zaha spoke sternly,

“This isn’t our world.”

“Yes. I know.”

Seol Young shook his head.

“But is this possible? It isn’t a dream, nor is it like living a fantasy, so does such a world exist?”

“Well, nothing is impossible. Doesn’t Buddhism speak of it? The world isn’t one.”

Zaha’s eyes looked golden as he turned to the sky from the window.

“There are thousands of worlds identical to the one we live in, and they are called small worlds. The middle of the heavenly world gathers thousands of small words. The thousand middle worlds are gathered in the greater heavenly world. And if we add them, there are three thousand worlds.”

“In other words, the 1,000 gets multiplied by 1,000, and then…”

Seol Young tried to calculate.

“One, ten, hundred, thousand, million, billion… To what extent would it be?”

“A hundred trillion?”

Zaha said,

“Among them, if there were worlds in which Silla was created, there are those that don’t have Silla, and they can be said to be worlds with me as the Governor and without me too.”

“Among those many worlds, everything else is the same, and the presence of the God of Cataclysm is what changes things.”

Seol Young was finally able to understand this strange world.

“We tried to find out her identity, and it seemed like she did this strange thing and sent us here. In this world without her, even if we tried to find her, we wouldn’t get anything.”

“But there must be some link that would allow us to intervene.”

“Yes.”

Seol Young nodded.

“We need to figure that out so we can find a way back to the actual world.”

Then suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.

“But where did ‘Governor Zaha’ and ‘Aide Seol Young,’ who originally existed in this world, go to? Did they disappear?”

“I was thinking about that too.”

Zaha spoke with a bit of a flustered face.

“Could they be out there in the other world instead of us…”

“…”

50,000 thoughts went through his mind.

Seol Young trembled.

“We need to head back.”

“Yes, right, Seol Young-rang. You have been talking about it for a while.”

Zaha opened the locked door again.

“Follow me quickly.”

“Where?”

“We need to check something out.”

“What?”

“The first record in which Mita appeared. If it is there, we should read it. It was damaged in our time, but since such a thing didn’t happen here, the initial record might not have been touched, right?”

“Ah, right.”

The two of them immediately moved to the archive rooms.

And the moment they opened the door, the piled-up documents greeted them. In the other world, Jin Rim was handling them, but Jin Rim wasn’t in the Hwarangs in this world.

Zaha frowned.

“Why did they let him leave?”

“Shouldn’t we start by hearing that we are sorry for Jin Rim-rang? I really wish for this to end.”

Seol Young found the key and unlocked the side door. The situation there was the same too. All the material were just piled up on top of each other.

“Not this, not this.”

“Not this either…”

After rummaging for a while, he finally found the record of the mysterious incident before the first King.

“Here.”

Zaha quickly found and opened it.

There were records, but…

It wasn’t as they had expected.

Mita… Curse… Tomb… Buried….

It had been damaged, with only a few letters left. It was the same as in the other world.

Zaha frowned.

“To think it is damaged in the same way…”

“We were wrong.”

Seol Young ran his fingers through the surface of the paper that was damaged.

“It isn’t due to the actions of the God of Cataclysm.”

“Then who?”

They couldn’t even guess who it was.

The two looked at the other records, but they could not find any other records about Mita.

The sixth Wonhwa, the one who died and came back, the mirror spirit, the maid in the house, and the golden stick shaman…

All of those things were absent from this world.

“As expected, it just ended at once in here.”

Zaha looked at the only surviving record.

Their investigation resulted in nothing. In a world with no evil spirit like her, it was necessary for them to find more information.

And they realized how difficult it was.

“But there must be something.”

Zaha was thinking.

‘If there is a way to somehow get a clue about her in this world…’

Seol Young shook his head.

And then he thought,

‘… but will it be fine?’

He glanced at Zaha.

And Seol Young tried to push his luck,

“I have a method.”

“….?”

Zaha raised an eyebrow.

“But? Why aren’t you speaking about it? It is unlike you.”

“I feel like you wouldn’t let me if I speak about it.”

“Me?”

Zaha snorted.

“You are worrying about unnecessary things. I have gotten used to you and your methods, so I will not be doing such things.”

“But just in case, please remove the things ahead.”

“….”

Zaha pushed away the items on the table, and then Seol Young spoke about what he had to say.

And after hearing all that, Zaha was shocked.

“….”

Silence passed.

And he said,

“And I get called a madman, but everyone should realize it. Actually, out of the two of us, you are the really insane one.”
