The Blue Dragon Sect had a structure in which three joined buildings and four joined buildings.
Here, the three joined buildings is a form in which three buildings surround a courtyard in the middle and the Four joined buildings is like a resident type of buildings, which was joined in east, est, south and north.
It is a building type which is often seen in the Sichuan region and is used for various purposes.
In particular, most of the building was used for training and receiving guests in the sect.
For this reason, there are 10 residences and four training halls.
‘If it goes according to plan, there need to be three residence halls.’
Seol-hwi remembered the previously prepared infiltration route.
The direction is from the back door and not the front door.
It has the advantage of having a relatively small number of guards and a shorter movement space as the place of Baek yang-chun was closer.
Also, the height of the outerwall of the sect was low which made it easier to break in.
‘The problem is the guys patrolling…’
There was a passage on the roofs of the building. Nearly every roof was being patrolled with warriors.
The first place he would have to pass when moving is through the roof.
So he would have to be extremely careful. At night, the guards will turn on their lights and search around and even a small change in sight of sound can be detected.
‘From there to the main building.’
And the boundary of the high watchtower, where the residence can be seen at a glance has to be considered as well.
The ones who patrol and the ones who look from the watchtower.
He would have to break through both of them at the same time.
‘At least… half of each side. I need to move half from each side,’
The residence of Baek Yang-chun was located after passing the three joined buildings and the four joined buildings there is a 4th room after passing the hall. It wasn’t impossible to do if the information given was right.
He even knew about the number of guards and knows the time the guards change. But not everything can go as planned.
If some has a different thought or if the information is wrong, they would need more time.
Then well planned things will be completely ruined.
‘Shit.’
280… 278…
Seol-hwi knew what that time meant from his previous experiences. Considering the concept of time, it is approximately giving him 1350 seconds.
So he felt complicated.
Only 300, no 280 seconds.
He had to go into the residence of the sect leader within the time frame. Of course, he had to move undetected while moving.
The goal is to assassinate.
Shh.
While Seol-hwi thought, the movement of his subordinates stopped.
The back door of the triad buildings. A place which looked like a guest room.
His five subordinates who had crossed the line were waiting for orders by lowering their bodies.
And among them
Swish.
Seo Ryeong, who raised her head, sent a hand signal. She took the role of identifying the warriors roaming around.
‘Three…’
Pit!
Seol-hwi’s eyes turned blue.
Night White Eye.
A martial arts which can detect objects even in the dark by using internal energy.
Sish.
Seol-hwi raised his hand and looked at the warriors who climbed the watchtower. It was to check for blind spot.
210… 209…
The number kept decreasing. His spine felt cold.
And at some point.
Sak!
Seol-hwi lowered his hand.
Papapayt!
Yorim, Jeok Song, and Yong Jin threw themselves to the floor.
Tuk! Crash!
The noise wasn’t too much.
The subordinates rushed in in no time and broke the necks of the warriors who were walking one after another.
‘Hurry up.’
Tak.
There was no particular reason to spill blood. After all, these are people who will have to shift in a while.
Those who finish working late at night tend to soothe their stomachs or go to bathrooms.
Even if they don’t notice the difference, they would have a hard time spotting this abnormality.
The subordinates threw the corpses into an empty room.
Meanwhile, Seol-hwi watched everything without blinking an eye. He looked at the sight of the guards on the other side of the roof.
Chak!
Seol-hwi, stood quietly like a stone and raised his hand once more.
And then pointed to a place.
Sak! Sak!
Sghh.
The subordinate skillfully climbed the outerwall and moved into the residence in harmony. However, the expression of Seol-hwi’s face was going stiff.
‘Damn it. at this rate, I won’t be able to go on time.’
150… 149…
Half of the time was done, and there are two more roofs left.
If they move as carefully as now it will take a lot of time to do this.
‘I can never reach that place!’
Tak!
Seol-hwi climbed onto the wall and then confirmed it.
A lot of energy could be felt from everywhere. The boundary of the outer wall were guards who were moving to their posts or patrolling.
‘No matter how fast I move, I will get caught.’
Shh!
Seol-hwi was starting to sweat.
It felt like he was on the edge of a cliff. He was looking at everything in the blink of an eye, he couldn’t know when one would notice him.
He had to find a way. A way to avoid all these eyes.
“Uh… captain?”
Imugi, on the rooftop they cleared turned his head
The captain, who should be behind him was still on the other side of the wall.
‘What are you doing, that man… what is he looking at?’
If Seol-hwi could hear Imugi’s thoughts he would be shocked.
But actually, he had been looking at the world from a different perspective.
Combat Mode: <Simulation Lv.2> <Analyzing Seol-Hwi’s martial arts.> <Analyzing Seol-Hwi’s martial techniques.> … <Analysis complete.>
The time stopped. And the new simulation asked him.
<Which simulation would you like to use?>
“The shortest time taken to avoid the eyes of the enemy and enter the residence of Baek Yang-chun!”
With Seol-hwi cry, the simulation responded.
But.
<No solution found! Not enough information; find a place overlooking the Blue Dragon Sect to collect data.>
“Damn it.”
He couldn’t help it.
Seol-hwi headed to the nearby high spot from where he was.
Tap. Tap.
5 floor high. If he jumped up from the roof path he could reach it.
However, the warriors who were walking around would notice it.
-Remove the three under that indigo roof.
-Leaving Seo Ryeong, everyone follow me!
Flinch!
Despite their faces covered in masks, the hesitation of the subordinates could be noticed.
They knew something was wrong from the words of Seol-hwi, this is different from the plan.
And among them, Seo Ryeong was the fastest to follow the orders.
Tak.
She drew out her dagger and scanned the indigo roof path. And as soon as she looked at the three, she didn’t hesitate.
Swish!
She turned around and stepped on the wall and went to the roof wall and threw her dagger at them.
“…!”
“Auk!”
Three daggers pierced their throats without hesitation.
Papapat!
At that moment, Seol-hwi moved from his place to the roof. The distance was huge. But he ran over.
And looked at two patrolling in the yard again.
-Yorim!
Yorim responded to Seol-hwi’s words. Moving swiftly he moved down and went for the throats of the two.
Papat!
In the meantime, Seol-hwi managed to reach the place.
However, this wasn’t the destination.
This is an area around the patrol, not the residence area. And there were 8 who were looking at him.
-Get rid of all of them
In a moment, Jeok Song, Yorim and Imugi all attacked them.
Perhaps because it was a dark situation or they were surprised, the movements of his subordinates were a lot more agile.
Papapat.
Meanwhile, Seol-hwi used light footwork and reached the high spot.
Two patrollers could be seen coming.
Chak!
In the blink of an eye, their necks were attacked.
“Huk. Huk.”
Without even gasping breath, Seol-hwi checked the time.
78… 77…
This was feeling hopeless.
Yet, the time which doesn’t stop and flows naturally could be seen.
<Data acquired. Analyzing…>
A ray of hope.
Just in case, there was Seol-hwi’s earnest wish to not bring in a fight in this situation.
<Ming, Choi Rang, Xing Ming, 13,000, 50,000, Normal…>
Chak!
Buildings covered in darkness. From the overlooking place to the inside of the sect, number names were coming.
And soon.
<Found it!>
The results appeared.
<The shortest route will reach Baek Yang-Chun in 55 seconds.> <Seven enemies will be encountered. All must be eliminated in melee combat.> If enemies cannot be eliminated in one hit, estimated time will increase.
The path had things marked in red. The first step was a leap, stepping onto the guardrail.
<Follow.>
With the words to mark the beginning of the night.
Phat!
Seol-hwi flew through the air like a bird.
He was leaping a height of 5 meters above and soared high above the building.
Pat!
Then, stepping on the higher outer wall, he took another leap. The point where the red line of vision sharply bent.
And he saw 2 guards.
“… Uh?”
He lightly landed and sensed that their presence was weak. The moment the warriors titled and looked back.
Suddenly, the passage of time slowed down.
“…!”
Three illusions shone in Seol-hwi’s eyes. Slowly, in the extremely slow time, Seol-hwi’s illusions moved.
‘Everything is different.’
Three illusions with different movements.
One immediately ran to the two and suddenly turned red as it vanished. Another was to hide in the side and surprise them when they come closer.
The last one was a way of stepping on the wall of the building next to them.
However, it is a curious thing.
The point was that the two couldn’t be killed.
Maybe because of that.
<Please select an option.> ? Run straight ahead. ? Hide in the building and ambush. ? Jump onto the right wall and attack. 5… 4…
In the rapidly decreasing time, Seol-hwi chose third.
<You have selected “Jump onto the right wall and attack.”>
And then the flow of time was back to normal.
Papat.
Seol-hwi jumped on the wall of the building next to him. and at the end when he was about to jump.
“…!”
“…!”
He got caught in their sight.
Chak!
One was decapitated and the other tried to swing the sword.
Kang!
The guy managed to block the attack. There, Seol-hwi quickly slammed the opponent in the shoulder.
Puck!
“Ugh!”
When the opponent’s body had lost its balance, he immediately put a sword into the chest and covered the mouth.
“Eup… eup…”
Prrr.
The body which was trembling stopped. And then Seol-hwi took a deep breath.
<Time increased by 5 seconds.>
‘Shit!’
A phrase which made him nervous.
65… 64…
While the absolute time was decreasing, the expected time was increasing.
<Estimated time: 60 seconds.>
Seol-hwi didn’t even have time to think. There are 5 more ahead.
He had to deal with them in order to reach the residence.
This was a battle for his life and not against the enemy, a battle against time had begun.
