The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 135

 

I found myself muttering unconsciously as I looked at the object Uncle held out to me.

 

And for good reason, since it was an object very familiar to me.

 

‘How do you Eight Families manage to scheme so much without getting caught?’

 

I had wondered about this in my third life. The Eight Families, with their overwhelming power and just as much unity and conflict among themselves.

 

How they managed their schemes. Why it never became known to the world.

 

At that time, there was someone beside me who could explain this.

 

‘Honestly, which of the Eight Families, including ours, doesn’t have skeletons in their closet?’

 

That bastard who was my only ‘Friend’ was the young master of one of the Eight Families. A sickly but foul-tempered young master.

 

‘What does this look like to you?’

 

‘…Just a disc? A flat disc?’

 

‘Right.’

 

A moment later, when he manipulated something, amazingly a pattern was engraved on what had been just an ordinary disc.

 

It was the Family Crest of my ‘Friend’s’ family that was holding me captive at the time.

 

‘When we need a contact method while conducting secret business, we proceed like this. We use discs, and other families use different objects.’

 

‘…That’s amazing.’

 

What my ‘Friend’ did wasn’t anything special. Yet it was effective.

 

‘What do the other families use?’

 

‘Hmm… For example, yes, those Sinion bastards who caused trouble recently, they use…’

 

‘Rods.’

 

According to my ‘Friend’, it was a rod that looked ordinary but had an end split into three branches.

 

I had seen that rod afterward, so I remembered it clearly.

 

My ‘Friend’ also told me about Carmen and Buke Family objects, but since that’s not important, I’ll skip it.

 

‘It looks like an ordinary rod, but how did Uncle know to bring it?’

 

I looked at Uncle’s face.

 

He was smiling cheerfully, but his expression was unreadable. I gave up trying to figure out what he was thinking and opened my mouth.

 

“This is a very important clue. Where did you find it?”

 

“I picked it up from the floor.”

 

“Do you know what this is that you brought it?”

 

Uncle rubbed his chin as if finding it interesting.

 

“Hmm, what is this?”

 

This person, really. I know that the Three Brothers, including Dad, have good hearing.

 

So they must have heard me muttering ‘Sinion’!

 

“Uncle brought it because something felt strange about it?”

 

Don’t drag out your words like that, mister.

 

“It’s very faint, but I sense magic arts from it, is that why?”

 

“Magic arts?”

 

You mean traces of a mage? I looked back and forth between the rod and Uncle. Everyone’s attention was already focused on me.

 

“This is… a mark of ‘Sinion’.”

 

“How can you tell?”

 

Dad’s tone didn’t feel like he was trying to scold me. I could only sense pure curiosity.

 

“Could you prepare some hot water for me?”

 

Since we had brought plenty of boiling water near the barracks for disinfection, I soon received a cup filled with hot water without difficulty. Well, I almost received it.

 

Dad and Uncle stopped me, saying they couldn’t give it to a child.

 

‘Only at times like this do they treat me like a kid.’

 

I wasn’t really upset, so I obediently told them what to do. Dad, holding the cup, poured the hot water over the rod.

 

Swoooosh!

 

Amazingly, letters began to slowly appear on the rod that got wet with water.

 

“Ho, was this carved in advance?”

 

Uncle said while rubbing his chin. Strangely, his tone sounded as if he knew something, which felt odd.

 

“Gasp…”

 

Raon, who was watching, held her breath.

 

“You see it? The thing at the very top is Sinion’s emblem.”

 

“I see.”

 

Dad nodded.

 

“The letters written there are…”

 

“Looks like place names?”

 

Uncle answered Dad’s muttering.

 

“That’s probably right.”

 

Then Dad slightly frowned.

 

“Sinion hides important keywords or place names here.”

 

“Wow, Uncle has a question!”

 

Uncle raised his hand high up. It was a bit absurd to see this guy, who probably just slacked off instead of studying, pretending to be a diligent student.

 

“How does our Ppiyak know that?”

 

Uncle said with a grinning face.

 

“Ah, I’m asking because it’s the correct answer.”

 

I was momentarily speechless.

 

“Our second son, Bihu doesn’t seem to remember. But Uncle roughly knew about it.”

 

No wonder his tone of voice was strange.

 

You might think I acted a bit too hastily…

 

“The youngest probably knows too, right? Ah, the youngest would know best. Since he’s from the Intelligence Department.”

 

“….”

 

Well, I knew this moment would come someday. I just didn’t expect it to be this soon, considering I’m still only three years old.

 

“So how did you find out? Uncle is really curious.”

 

Could there be any other pressure that’s not really pressure? There was no coercion anywhere in Uncle’s voice, but I felt uncomfortable.

 

Dad quietly stood next to me and whispered toward me.

 

– Should I beat him up for you?

 

No… Why would you beat up that man?

 

– Or should I knock him out?

 

Are you an ostrich with just your head stuck in a hole? Will everything be fine if you just solve the problem in front of you?

 

I smiled brightly without showing any signs of panic.

 

“I read this in a book!”

 

“A book?”

 

Uncle tilted his head curiously. The nuance was asking if such a book existed.

 

“Before meeting Uncle Poo and Uncle Baek, I traveled around many places. I’ve seen ancient books.”

 

“….”

 

“And Uncle Baek. Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo believe that I’m a Genius Physician and don’t doubt the medicine I made. Right?”

 

You must be full of suspicions. But let’s brush this off and move on like that too.

 

When you think about it, where else would you find a genius like me who’s been doing physician work since age three?

 

Uncle, being quick-witted, seemed to understand my intention and narrowed his eyes. For a moment, the smile disappeared from his eyes, which was a bit chilling even to me.

 

It was fortunate that it wasn’t anger or wariness directed at me.

 

“That’s right. Uncle always believes in our Ppiyak.”

 

“….”

 

“So there are books that record such things too. How very interesting!”

 

…This man is making it so obvious that he doesn’t believe it at all.

 

Still, I’m grateful he’s letting it slide.

 

What will he say next time when I find the emblems of Carmen and Buke? Should I brush it off as the same book then too?

 

Still, it was good news.

 

‘It means that no matter what the Eight Families do from now on, we can find out as long as we have this.’

 

We could even become 007, this is it.

 

“Oh right, Ppiyak, where did you say you got this from?”

 

“You said you picked it up from the floor?”

 

Uncle said he picked up what Hei Jihye’s subordinate had dropped from the floor.

 

Then you should have said that from the beginning, old man. Anyway, it wasn’t strange at all that Hei Jihye’s warriors were the ones Sinion had sent.

 

‘Then should we capture them and interrogate them?’

 

Though it’s not something I can do.

 

I glanced at Dad and Uncle.

 

‘…Those two are so reliable they could probably create truths that don’t even exist.’

 

Anyway, I was considering whether to order them to capture Hei Jihye’s subordinate right now, but before long, this became a meaningless concern.

 

Shortly after, it became noisy outside.

 

I was just listening to how they had lured someone and where they had taken down the subordinate.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

Before Dad’s wind power could even reach outside, the curtain covering the barracks entrance was suddenly lifted up.

 

A man in black clothes stood at the entrance where light was streaming in. His brown robe had dark stains on it.

 

I quickly realized they were bloodstains. Jet-black hair. I could tell just from his eyes, no, just from his height and hair alone.

 

The man smoothly pulled down the mask covering his mouth.

 

“I’m back.”

 

It was Hei Birang.

 

Why such a suspicious outfit…? It was probably what he wore to go see Hei Jihye.

 

But then why did he appear in front of the Lord’s Castle still wearing this outfit?

 

Hei Birang was carrying something large on his shoulder. I realized it wasn’t luggage.

 

Thud.

 

As the cloth unwrapped, what was revealed was an unconscious Hei Jihye.

 

And she wasn’t in very good condition either….
