Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 369

369. Abducted to the Underworld

Title: Is Woo Yeon-woo a Jerk or is Rembrary the Jerk?

1) Woo Yeon-woo

Already had a flashy record since his idol days. The heyday of the ‘crazy bastard’ theory.

After starting to act like a hero, he seemed to calm down, but when Rembrary, who overlapped his position and even had the abilities he lost, appeared, he called him over and choked him.

Choked him and stole Rembrary’s song.

He’s a bit subdued now.

2) Rembrary

Seems just as crazy as Woo Yeon-woo, benchmarking Woo Yeon-woo’s crazy days.

I thought he was just copying Woo Yeon-woo, but he proved to the whole nation that he was crazier by stabbing Woo Yeon-woo in the eye on live broadcast.

Sent his crazy subordinate to shoot Woo Yeon-woo. (Turns out it was to get revenge for being choked, and then Woo Yeon-woo stole his song. But Ji Tae-in kept his mouth shut until he exposed this. For a moment, you might think he’s not crazy…)

Stole two cars in B City by sending that crazy subordinate.

Afterward, he showed off his crazy power by running over the CEO of the Mirage Hunter Company with his car. Still proving he’s active.

Who seems crazier?

Gue01: Rembrary wins overwhelmingly.

ㄴ gue02: Do you mean wins overwhelmingly in a good way or a bad way?

ㄴ gue01: Wins overwhelmingly as a crazy person.

gue03: Look at how biased this post is.ㅉ You wrote that Rembrary was lenient with Woo Yeon-woo as neutrally as possible, but completely left out that Woo Yeon-woo lost his healer abilities to save people. It’s obvious, you’re a Rembrary stan [ardent fan].

ㄴ Wri: If you’re going to be like that, I left out all the times Rembrary healed or saved people too.

Gue04: Why are you even comparing? They’re just old crazy and new crazy. Should we compare poop and diarrhea?

ㄴ gue05: Even if those guys are crazy, they’re not as bad as poop and diarrhea, and they’re much more helpful to humanity than you^^

ㄴ gue04: Okay, healer stan, move along.

Gue07: Woo Yeon-woo did save people, but it seems like he only saved people who met certain conditions. Rembrary said he would heal anyone who came to his religion. I think Rembrary is a bit kinder.

ㄴ gue04: Isn’t asking them to come to his religion a condition?

gue08: Just look at Shin Jo-woon and you’ll know the answerㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you even fightingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Meng Wu-shin was looking at a post on his phone where Woo Yeon-woo and Rembrary were being trashed simultaneously when he was startled by a sudden event and lowered his phone below the table.

“What’s going on?”

Rembrary looked around and called out the name of the most familiar face.

“Gam-jae.”

The people who appeared in black suits were all grim reapers.

The grim reapers, who suddenly showed up while they were eating, surrounded Rembrary and bound him with chains.

“Mommy!”

“Let go!”

“Ugh, what is this!”

“Rembrary-nim!”

The people, who had been frozen for a moment by the sudden event, almost simultaneously screamed different things and jumped up.

Mulu reached behind him for his spear, and Ardor reached for his gun at his waist.

However, because of Rembrary’s order not to bring weapons to the table, there were no weapons here.

Shi-young, who had set this house as his space, hurriedly tried to adjust the house to catch the black-suited figures, but it was useless.

By the time Shi-young moved the walls to attack the black-suited figures, Rembrary and the black suits were already gone.

Only the innocent cabinets hanging on the wall fell with a crash.

Shi-young lowered his outstretched hands and looked at Dae-ju, the most reliable of them all.

“What do we do?”

* * *

In the blink of an eye, the group around him disappeared. Instead, what appeared was an endlessly 펼쳐진 [spread out] space. The floor was marble, and pillars lined up at regular intervals. Even at a glance, it was not a normal space.

“What is this all about?”

Rembrary looked around and then asked Sa Gam-jae.

“I’m sorry.”

Sa Gam-jae, who apologized awkwardly, looked more stern than usual.

“I don’t want an apology, I want an explanation.”

“…….”

“Is it something you can apologize for but can’t explain?”

“It won’t be necessary to stay like this for long.”

“That’s obvious.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chains that bound Rembrary snapped and fell off.

The grim reapers holding the ends of the chains flinched, then exchanged glances and wrapped Rembrary in another chain.

Rembrary easily broke that chain as well, but the grim reapers sent another chain.

“It’s useless to do this. Are you going to keep repeating this until I die?”

Rembrary, who couldn’t stand it any longer, wondered why they were doing this and asked sincerely.

“That might be okay.”

A familiar voice was heard from behind.

Bound in chains, he turned his body clumsily, and the King of the Underworld, with red clothes trailing behind him, was approaching Rembrary.

“It’s been a while, Otherworld Saint.”

With each step he took, the red cloths draped over his body writhed like snakes on the floor.

As Rembrary watched the red cloths moving wildly, he broke another chain and asked.

“Was it you, Your Majesty, who ordered me to be captured?”

However, this time, he wasn’t as relaxed as before when breaking the chains.

No matter how strong Rembrary was, his opponent was on par with Redrin. Rembrary could handle the grim reapers, but not the King of the Underworld.

The approaching king smiled, showing both palms facing the sky, instead of answering.

“I hope you like finding mazes.”

* * *

Redrin-nim [term of endearment]. I’ve been captured by the underworld. What should I do?

*Redrin-nim. Please don’t blame your great high priest for being captured by the enemy so easily.

At first, I thought they only sent grim reapers, but that wasn’t the case. At first, I was trying to find a way back while diligently breaking the chains, but in the middle, the god of this place intervened and I was completely captured.

I’m currently in a place with very poor interior design. I don’t know where it is. All around are just flat floors and pillars. But there’s no roof.

Being here has completely destroyed my sense of direction.

When I asked why they left me in a place like this, they said they thought I would escape no matter where they locked me up, so they just let me roam free.

It feels bad, but it seems like the right choice. Seeing that only endless spaces appear no matter how much I walk, it seems like a space infused with the power of this king.

*I was so shocked that I was blank all day, and then Sa Gam-jae came and gave me pizza, saying he was sorry.

I scolded him, asking if he was trying to melt my heart with a pizza like this, and threw the pizza lid at him, and he mumbled, “It seems like your heart is half-melted,” and left.

Redrin-nim. I need Redrin-nim so much right now.

*The pizza is tasty though.

*Sa Gam-jae came and stared at the empty pizza box, so I asked him sharply why he was doing that, and he got scared and said it was nothing.

When I asked him what kind of pizza he gave me yesterday, he cowered and told me it was combination [a pizza with a variety of toppings].

When I yelled that I would show him a painful lesson if he didn’t offer me three meals of pizza, morning, evening, and lunch, Sa Gam-jae trembled in fear and offered me pizza.

I still have dignity even while being captured. I don’t want comfort.

*Sa Gam-jae came to me and apologized profusely, saying that he could only give me two pizzas from now on.

*Sa Gam-jae brought me a ‘Sun Peach,’ saying that the decision to illegally bring in human food had been made. Redrin-nim, I’m being treated so poorly. Where are you?

*Sun Peach is also tasty though…….

*As I was peeling a peach alone, someone else appeared again. I thought it would be Sa Gam-jae, but this time it was the King of the Underworld.

“I was saving the grim reapers who had become birds, but it’s too much to capture me like this.”

When I stated my position firmly, the king apologized and gave me a box of peaches, asking me to consider his position as well.

So I asked, “Your Majesty doesn’t consider my position, so why should I consider Your Majesty’s position?” and he hit me on the back of the head and left.

Redrin-nim, I feel like crying. Where are you?

*I tried to use the dignity of a god on the King of the Underworld, but it didn’t work. Rather, the king scoffed and

“That doesn’t work on the divine level. What dignity is there between gods?”

He explained the reason…….

Besides, the ‘dignity of a god’ that I use is borrowed from the dignity of a god, so from the perspective of a real god, it just looks like I’m lip-syncing the voice of a god, so it’s just funny.

I guess that’s why the ‘dignity of a god’ didn’t work on the Demon King either. But what’s the problem now? The problem now is that Redrin-nim isn’t coming to save me!

“What do we do about our angel? What if our angel dies?”

Joo Kyung cried and shook Shin Jo-woon’s arm.

She seemed very scared when Rembrary, who had been calling him angel-nim, angel-nim in front of her eyes, disappeared bound in chains.

“If he dies, he’ll become a real angel!”

Ardor tried to comfort Joo Kyung from the side, but it wasn’t very successful.

“Hwaaaa! Hwaaaaaaaa! Angel-nim won’t die!”

Joo Kyung cried even louder and kicked Ardor’s shin.

Shin Jo-woon pressed his temples and signaled Mulu and Dae-ju to have a separate conversation.

Shin Jo-woon, who went to his room with the two most silent people, looked at the travel bag that Jang Tae-ri had brought in without permission and asked.

“I’ll ask one more time. So…… Rembrary was kidnapped during a meal, and the people who kidnapped Rembrary are grim reapers?”

Shin Jo-woon sat on the bed with his legs crossed and pressed his temples a few times.

He had ‘eyes’ and had been seeing monsters and goblins that hadn’t crossed the rift for a long time.

However, the story of the underworld that he suddenly heard was hard to believe.

But it was hard not to believe it either.

Mulu didn’t answer because he didn’t know which of the grim reapers was Sa Gam-jae, but Dae-ju, who had seen Sa Gam-jae separately, nodded immediately.

“There were several people, not just one. At first glance, there were almost eight of them, and all those grim reapers were wrapping Rembrary-nim in chains.”

“Why is that?”

He seemed to know why, but Dae-ju avoided answering this part.

“I don’t know that. What’s more important is rescuing Rembrary-nim.”

Shin Jo-woon noticed that Dae-ju was avoiding answering, but he agreed that the more important thing was Rembrary, who had been kidnapped.

So, instead of asking more about the reason why Rembrary was kidnapped to the underworld, he asked another question.

“Let’s say there’s an underworld. Let’s say grim reapers kidnap people too.”

“It’s not ‘let’s say,’ it’s real.”

“So, let’s say it’s all real. How do you get to the underworld?”

“You can go if you die.”

Shin Jo-woon looked at him, wondering if he was joking, but Dae-ju had a calm face.

“Is it real?”

“Yes. But I don’t know if your abilities will remain the same after death, or if you can immediately meet and save Rembrary-nim if you go to the underworld.”

Shin Jo-woon frowned. That answer meant he didn’t know.
