You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿ - Chapter 178

When Lee Pyeong-hwa regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was the cold concrete.
But why was I lying on the bare floor like this?

Lee Pyeong-hwa opened her blurry eyes.
Blink, blink.
For a while, she couldnât grasp the situation. Her vision was also dark. The moldy smell unique to old buildings lingered in her nose.

âOh, thatâs right. I fell into some strange womanâs trap⦠⦠Iâm choking⦠⦠gasp!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa quickly got up.
âJeong Da-on!â

She looked around hurriedly, but the old shopping center hallway was eerily quiet.
It was hard to believe that a battle had just taken place.
Nam Seong-hee and Jeong Da-on were nowhere to be seen.

Did I dream?
However, the swollen marks on her neck proved that it wasnât a dream.
- Dungeon Break in progress.

And a system message.
âHow long have I been unconscious?!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa twisted her foot as she tried to get up in surprise.

It was because her body felt heavy like cotton soaked in water. In fact, her consciousness was still hazy, as if covered in fog.
âSomething⦠⦠Did I get injected with some kind of drug?â
And Lee Pyeong-hwa finally had that thought.

Come to think of it, she was lying on the floor, and the fog that had been under her feet when she first found Nam Sung-hee had disappeared without a trace.
Maybe⦠⦠It could be the aftereffects of the poison.
âShin Ji-eum Hunter⦠⦠said that it was important to regain her condition in times like this.â
However, she was too impatient to follow the rules.

Surely, that woman Nam Sung-hee didnât drag Jeong Da-on away somewhere, right?
âHey, Jeong Da-on! Hey! Answer me!â
If Shin Ji-eum had seen it, she would have sighed.

Despite falling several more times, Lee Pyeong-hwa almost kept walking down the hallway, checking each empty room.
However, not only Jeong Da-on, but even Nam Seong-hee was nowhere to be seen.
The scabbard on his waist dragged on the floor.

âIf only I hadnât been so stupid⦠â¦!â
Lee Pyeong-hwaâs heart was filled with regret.
Even though he checked every floor like that, Jeong Da-on was nowhere to be seen.

Still, Lee Pyeong-hwa didnât give up.
He dragged his legs that werenât moving well and started climbing the stairs this time.
Just climbing the stairs, which would normally be nothing, made the rain pour down like beads of sweat.

It was clearly not normal, but Lee Pyeong-hwa didnât give up.
Lee Pyeong-hwa gritted her teeth.
âI, I have to help somehow!â

Maybe someone, no, Jeong Da-on himself, would tell Lee Pyeong-hwa that she didnât need to do that.
Jeong Da-on was a much stronger hunter than Lee Pyeong-hwa.
In this situation, even if Lee Pyeong-hwa tried to move, it wouldnât help at all.

Lee Pyeong-hwa also thought that maybe that was the case.
But.
But, maybe.

What if Jeong Da-on needed someoneâs help⦠⦠.
That might be possible, but she couldnât leave this building alone.
With that blindness, Lee Pyeong-hwa continued to climb the stairs. It was almost mindless.

Squeak!
She opened the emergency door on the next floor.
âJeong Da-on!â

And then she went up to the next floor and shouted again.
âWhere are you?! Answer me!â
No one answered her cracking voice, but Lee Pyeong-hwa continued to climb the next floor.

In that way, Lee Pyeong-hwa soon reached the last floor, the rooftop door.
By then, her entire body was drenched in sweat. She really held on with just her mental strength.
âThis is the end.â

With the sound of old hinges scraping, the rooftop door creaked open.
âOh, what bad luck.â
And then, there stood Jeong Da-on, whom she had been searching for so desperately.

The problem was⦠⦠.
âWhere, where is this⦠⦠?â
Of course, she expected a dirty concrete floor like the rooftop of an old building, but what she saw was completely different.

A beautiful blue sea with gentle waves and a white sandy beach.
It was a beautiful foreign beach that looked like it could only be found in a postcard.
âMonaco Beach.â

âHuh⦠⦠? Monaco?â
Jeong Da-on clicked his tongue in embarrassment at the sight of Lee Pyeong-hwaâs bewildered appearance.
âWhile I was briefly extracting Nam Sung-heeâs memories, this⦠⦠I should have woken up a little later. It would have been better if I had come just 5 seconds later.â

â
âWhat, what⦠â¦?â
âThen I could have just passed by without knowing anything.â

Jeong Da-on, who looked back at Lee Pyeong-hwa, glanced into the air for a moment and sighed.
âWhy did I have to activate my skill at this time⦠⦠Iâm so unlucky. Who would call me an inspector?â
âActivate your skill? Who?â

âCheck the system window.â
âUh, uh⦠â¦?â
Lee Pyeong-hwa checked the system window in bewilderment.

It was just as he said.
- A new skill was created.
- Skill âIndomitable Willâ LV. 1

- It becomes easier to recognize the imaginary world of others that has been implemented in reality.
âImaginary world?â
âYes, itâs a realization of the world inside the wizardsâ souls. Usually, itâs hard for inspectors like you to escape from the reality distorted by the wizardsâ beliefs⦠⦠but in very rare cases, the skill manifests.â

It was as if he knew someone else with this skill.
Now, it wasnât surprising how Jeong Da-on had this knowledge.
Lee Pyeong-hwa looked around and asked.

âReally? Then is this your imaginary world?â
âNo, um⦠⦠â
It was when Jeong Da-on vaguely overlooked the trailing words.

Lee Pyeong-hwaâs eyes widened.
âHey, that⦠â¦!â
On the dreamy sandy beach.

A completely incongruous sight unfolded.
A corpse on the sand⦠⦠Nam Sung-hee was lying on the sandy beach.
Lee Pyeong-hwa was startled and ran towards Nam Sung-hee.

âWhat, what, what⦠⦠Death, Ju⦠â¦!â
âYou stutter, so I donât know what youâre saying.â
âAre you dead?!â

â⦠⦠â
Fortunately, before Jeong Da-on could answer, Lee Pyeong-hwa was able to confirm that Nam Sung-hee was breathing faintly by putting her finger on his nose.
He wasnât dead yet.

Of course, that didnât mean he was in a normal state⦠â¦
âT-heâs alive.â
Lee Pyeong-hwa let out a sigh of relief.

âThank goodness⦠⦠You shouldnât die before we hand him over to the police. I have some potions, so letâs at least treat him.â
â⦠⦠â
âInventory⦠⦠Hmm? Why not?â

Jeong Da-on responded to Lee Pyeong-hwaâs question indifferently.
âI told you this is an imaginary world. Thereâs no way it would work.â
âOh, right. Then what should I do? You should use healing magic first⦠⦠.â

Lee Pyeong-hwa, who had been talking incoherently, only then realized that this situation was a bit strange.
If Jeong Da-on could use healing magic⦠â¦
âWhy me?â

Why was Nam Sung-hee lying there on the verge of becoming a corpse?
A cold sweat broke out for a moment.
Nam Sung-heeâs entire body was covered in ashes.

The sight of Lee Pyeong-hwa looking fine before he lost consciousness was nowhere to be found.
Who on earth would have tormented Nam Sung-hee like that?
The answer was simple.

Jeong Da-on tilted his head.
âI donât know why you say that woman should be saved.â
His tone was similar to his usual indifferent speech, but his eyes were very strange.

Lee Pyeong-hwa felt goosebumps for a moment.
The most unrealistic thing in this unrealistic scenery is⦠⦠Jeong Da-on.
Just like Jeong Da-on that I saw in the hallway of the old shopping mall.

- Mass slaughter, it must be fun to watch.
- I donât care who dies or how many.
A cold voice flashed through my mind.

Jeong Da-on spoke in the same voice.
âYou, you almost got killed by that woman just now. But why are you trying to save me?â
If you are reading ⧠NоvеIight ⧠(Original source) this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

âHuh? No⦠⦠Hey, Jeong Da-on. Of course I appreciate you saving me, but when you fight, things like controlling your strength can be difficult.â
Lee Pyeong-hwa tried to loosen his stiff tongue and spoke.

âBut if we leave it like this, people⦠⦠people will die.â

Even as he said that, Lee Pyeong-hwa thought that he looked really stupid.
It was a really frustrating story.
He shouldnât let the person who tried to kill him die.

But that was all he could say.
In Lee Pyeong-hwaâs common sense, that was the obvious thing to do.
Once someone is dying, you have to save them.

Like when I ran around like crazy after the dungeon break went off today.
Like I couldnât leave a building that might collapse without checking that Jeong Da-on wasnât there.
However, Jeong Da-on nonchalantly denied Lee Pyeong-hwaâs words.

âPeople die. The ones that woman killed were also people. You saw that she killed Lee Woon-gyeol, right?â
Jeong Da-on glanced into space again as he said that.
âIn comparison, I saved 682 people today⦠⦠Now Iâve saved 700 people.â

I was confused.
I couldnât immediately grasp what Jeong Da-on was saying.
âThat also means that there were 700 people that this woman almost killed⦠⦠In that case, wouldnât it be better to kill them?â

Blink, blink.
My eyes intermittently darkened.
âHeâs a murderer.â

Was this my vision blinking?
Or⦠⦠Has the sun of this decorated world really gone dark?
âThatâs⦠⦠a separate issue.â

Lee Pyeong-hwa swallowed dryly and answered.
But why is he so nervous?
Right now, thereâs a friend standing before his eyes, not an enemy.

Heâs just discussing things with his friend, but why does he feel⦠⦠pressured to pass the test?
âWhat right do we have to punish? Crimes are judged in court.â
âCan you trust that court?â

âWhat?â
âDo you believe that the law can impose an appropriate punishment?â
Jeong Da-on sneered.

âThe courts of this Republic of Korea are even worse. Those who were born into wealthy families and achieved everything through their own efforts usually become judges. And the family made up of such lawyers is Nam Sung-heeâs family, so naturally, they bend their arms inward⦠⦠.â
âWait, wait, Kkanman!â
Lee Pyeong-hwa stopped Jung Da-on from speaking.

Her body was heavy and her mind was not clear, but she knew what Jung Da-on was trying to say.
It was clear.
So Jung Da-on was trying to kill that woman Nam Seong-hee because she couldnât trust the court right now!

Lee Pyeong-hwa couldnât believe it.
âHey, hey⦠â¦! I understand how you feel, but⦠⦠What are you talking about? Still, itâs not like youâre killing someone! No matter how criminal they are, what right do we have to condemn them so arbitrarily?â
Of course, criminals should be punished.

But thatâs not just to make the victims feel better.
And no matter how bad the crime is, we donât have the right to condemn an ââindividual for a crime.
âThatâs just simple personal anger. Do you think thatâs right?!â

The moment Lee Pyeong-hwa said that,
I felt very strange.
Jeong Da-on muttered.

âThatâs why I hate people like you who are so kind and know how to say the right thing, but donât know anything.â
It was a tone that was somewhat bitter.
And at the moment when Lee Pyeong-hwa was about to respond that her words were too harsh, she realized it painfully.

How much this Jeong Da-on had âlooked afterâ her normally.
âHuk, huff⦠⦠.â
Lee Pyeong-hwa clutched her chest.

It was because she was out of breath.
Jeong Da-on was directly pressuring Lee Pyeong-hwa.
âItâs funny how I try to persuade you⦠⦠Okay, letâs try.â

What was standing before her eyes now was Jeong Da-on, but not Jeong Da-on.
Her eyes were trying to judge the person Lee Pyeong-hwa.
It seemed like her expectations had been met, but at the same time, she seemed disappointed.

âWhat are you really talking about⦠⦠.â
âIf we leave it like this, Nam Sung-hee will survive.â
Compared to Lee Pyeong-hwaâs indignant words, Jeong Da-onâs attitude was very calm.

âAnd I guarantee it. Nam Sung-hee will become even more successful after this. Because the item this woman has is something that the government, the Constitutional Court, or⦠is very greedy for.â
âWhat are you talking about? Anyway, she killed someone, so sheâll get punished! If she doesnât get punished properly, Iâll protest alone! Iâll even let the media know!â
âYouâre talking naively.â

Jeong Da-on was calm even as he talked nonsense.
No, he seemed bored, as if he had repeated the same question and answer hundreds or thousands of times.
âAnyway, letâs say that. So⦠⦠what if Nam Sung-hee, who survived without being punished, kills someone again?â

âWhat?â
âHow many people do you think will die then?â
Lee Pyeong-hwa looked at Jeong Da-on with shaking pupils.

Jeong Da-on asked Lee Pyeong-hwa as if testing something.
âAnd who should be held responsible for that death?â
