Episode 165
At the same time as the sphere of spiritual power stopped moving, all kinds of sharp gazes poured out towards me, the person in question.
“… How did this happen?”
“Who is the author? It’s a face I’ve never seen before.”
In that situation, an exorcist who was familiar with the white family came out and carefully disclosed information.
“I am an acquaintance of a woman from the main family, and I am a cadet of the academy who was invited to this place on a field trip.”
“what? Academy cadets?”
With those words, his gaze shifted to the chaser who had activated the spell.
“Isn’t this pure quack? Is it true that the magic has been properly activated?”
“… I’m sorry, but I can only think there is something wrong.”
However, in spite of such a reaction, the executive officer of the headquarters steadfastly carried out his opinion.
“That, over there. Lord, there was no problem with the shaman’s event. I’m sure. The spiritual power that permeated the body must belong to that child.”
“huh! It’s not even worth it. So, you’re saying that a member of the Ryu family was attacked by that bloodless kid?”
Clearly, the man’s words were the right theory, so there was a subtle tone in the venue. However, just then Baek So-yul opened his mouth again.
“… Isn’t that a bit of a simplistic decision? At least they’re not just academy cadets over there.”
“What do you mean? Do you know anything?”
“My name is Han Kang-yoon. She is a cadet who won the duel with Sophia Charlotte, who is a senior member of the Qinghua Academy and its chief, as everyone is familiar with it. Recently, I even set a new record in the Exorcist Qualification Exam.”
“What?”
I sent an absurd response to Baek So-yul, who smiled lightly.
If you put flashy rhetoric in that way, even if you were a cadet, you would start to get suspicious little by little.
In fact, the eyes of the family members who looked at me suddenly changed the meaning.
“If you are Zhen-Gong Liu and Sophia Charlotte, you are a talented person who ranks first in the world at this point. If I had fought her and won… … .”
“Does this mean that it will be capable of killing a second-class exorcist?”
“However, didn’t you say that the recipe used was the wi-bi-hwa of the Liu family? How can that kid who only dealt with Korean craftsmanship in the academy learn it?”
Seriously, it was also Baek So-yul who threw the answer to that.
“He can handle a variety of magic tricks more than any high-ranking exorcist. If it’s a liquor that’s like Wibihwa (萎憊花), it’s probably cooked enough. Isn’t it Eunseo?”
“yes? that, that… … .”
Eunseo Baek could not raise any objection because she remembered the many strange techniques that I usually showed.
I kicked my tongue and sent my gaze to Baek So-yul, wondering if it was really going to come out like this, but only a bright smile came back.
‘Is it the intention of accusing the crime in the first place?’
After that, it seemed like he was thinking of creating a situation and making me on my side.
It would be unfortunate news to me, but it was not as unrealistic as there are some who force a strong master-slave relationship.
‘… There was more precipitation than I expected.’
Perhaps she took the time I slept to extract spiritual power in some way and make it permeate into the corpse.
The spiritual power actually derived is mine, so I can’t make any excuses in this situation.
It was truly a predicament of desperation.
“If the angler fits this far… … .”
“It’s something you can’t even see.”
The gazes that only contained feelings of vigilance are now slowly starting to mix with hostility.
As I frowned at the thought of disappointment, one of the exorcists on the side of Liu, who was raising tensions, immediately shot me with a restraint technique.
Whoops!
“Jarin Park!”
However, it was offset by the cheongju flower that came close to me before I even moved.
“The Wall of Heaven.”
Whoa!
“… What is this?”
“Are you with that kid?”
I was astonished by the sudden action, and I was about to blink, and Cheongju-hwa opened her mouth without showing a sign of hesitation.
“If you’re going to touch it without any solid evidence, you can’t stand still.”
“… It’s not funny. It’s not a place for little ones. If you don’t want to get hurt, go away immediately.”
“I don’t like it. Are you sure you want to give it a try?”
The situation where they have already put their hands on each other, the atmosphere starts to get out of control.
Cheongju-hwa, who read that air, slowly retreated and asked me.
“Shall I call Blue Dragon?”
“… No, just be patient.”
There is no excuse for the detection of spiritual power, but I didn’t actually kill it anyway.
There must be some way to prove my innocence.
Finally, I sighed, raised my hands and walked forward.
“Let me tell you first, I am not the culprit.”
“… … .”
“However, until the real culprit is revealed, we will cooperate with everyone.”
Anyway, they too are not sure right now, and if an unfortunate incident occurs, then Baek So-yul will take care of it.
So, first of all, buy some time and find a solution within it.
I stared at Baek So-yul with unshakable eyes, and followed the instructions as I walked.
***
Druck.
Whoops.
“Wait in here. There will be strict surveillance, so there will be no way out.”
In the end, I was trapped in an empty room about 5 pyeong, with redemption techniques all over my body.
‘… It’s not easy.’
By now, there must be a discussion about my disposition outside in full swing.
So in it, you have to find a way to somehow advance the situation.
‘First of all, the restraint spell on me is not at a level that cannot be dispelled.’
Even after hearing about me earlier, the magic was not as powerful as I thought it would be.
It really wasn’t weird.
In such a situation, it was very difficult to cancel the magic by oneself, and there were many guards attached to the outside of the room.
But with future knowledge, I can secure enough freedom of my body.
In any case, it wasn’t a bad thing, as it might be necessary to run away if the worst happened.
‘First, let’s summarize the situation in order.’
Of course, it is not me who killed them. If so, what is the real culprit?
‘The murder of Baek Sang-hwi, as in the original, is highly likely to be a character of the Ryu family.’
When I sniffed what Baek Eun-seo was talking about earlier, the work that Baek Sang-hwi was usually in charge of was not much different from the original work.
In other words, the exorcist of the Ryu family, who found out about his infidelity, killed Baek Sang-hwi to keep his mouth shut.
It is highly probable that the original flow has progressed up to that point.
‘Then the next problem is… … .’
As for the other victim, a member of the Liu family, neither the murderer nor the reason why he had to die was seldom certain.
‘In the course of the crime, someone from the same family noticed and killed him again to hide the secret?’
But for that to be the case, the first killing was too quick and perfect.
It is inconsistent that the exorcist of the Ryu family accidentally noticed that the exorcists of the Baek family, who were in the range of Baek Sang-hwi, did not even notice.
‘Why was there a reason to kill the exorcist of the same Ryu family?’
Thinking like that, I suddenly felt a strange feeling and came up with a new hypothesis.
‘No, the second was not killed, was it killed?’
What if the exorcist who killed Baek Sang-hwi was murdered instead of killing the exorcist of the same family?
If you think about it that way, there were a lot of things that were unexpectedly resolved.
‘It must be difficult to find the culprit, because the culprit is actually dead.’
The blocked accident circuit was opened, and the outline of the incident began to be drawn slowly.
‘In the case of Baek Sang-hwi, he was hit from the back, but in the other case, traces of magic were engraved on the front.’
In other words, there was a high probability that he was not wary of the opponent in front of him. At first, I thought it was only because they were members of the same Ryu family.
‘But if the second victim is the culprit who killed Baek Sang-hwi, there is one more person who can break the boundaries of him.’
It was none other than a hundred percent.
‘At first, Baek So-yul was guessing what would happen after that.’
At least, it is impossible if you know the situation in advance or if you do not communicate with the criminal.
In order to use my spiritual power to make a mark on the body, perhaps it would have been better to cooperate with the criminal.
‘And Baek So-yul later killed the criminal in another place.’
According to what was revealed in the original, the exorcist of the Ryu family who killed Baek Sang-hui was at the level of a first-class entry.
He also had a battle with Yoo Ha-on and others who realized his identity, so he clearly remembers that part.
And in order to kill such a first-class, entry-level exorcist with one blow, even if it is a surprise attack, a higher level existence must come forward.
Right now, there are only a handful of people who can do that at Baekrimjeong, even if they are not Baek So-yul.
Having made a rough estimate, I was able to grasp the true circumstances of the situation that had not been revealed in the original work.
‘… Baek So-yul encouraged him from the beginning.’
If it were her, it was quite possible. Because of that, he must have felt satisfied just by falling into chaos of the Baekga he was wearing.
If you think about it, it was Baek So-yul who gave the last blow to the criminal who was fighting with Yoo Ha-on and his party in the original story.
If even that was part of the silence, both sides were right.
Although the evidence was still lacking, I was convinced of my unique sense.
However, it was far from resolving the situation immediately.
‘… How can I use this to change the situation?’
Just as I was in deep thought, the door in the room suddenly opened.
The person who came through there was Ryu Chizen, the representative of the members of the Ryu (刘), who visited Korea by this invitation.
“… What’s going on?”
“After several tests, the executioner’s magic was determined to be effective. In other words, the probability of you being the culprit is extremely high.”
And soon after, the air began to become heavy as a huge spiritual force was released.
Whoops.
Quad Duck.
“what… … .”
“It is easy to check. If you release the restraints and block this blow, it will be judged that you have the ability of a first-class exorcist, and it will become clear that you are the culprit.”
Wouldn’t it be the other way around to just die?
I looked at Liu Zizhen full of absurdity, but he didn’t show any hesitation.

Moreover, looking at the circumstances of the situation, it seemed that the figures of other families also tacitly agreed with the actions of Liu Zizen.‘… Damn, you’ve already concluded that I’m the culprit.’
After understanding the situation, I kicked my tongue out loud, got up and spread the distance with my unconstrained legs.
And towards me like that, Liu Tsuzen’s blow flew in.
“Take it, Zhou Tianlin!”
Whoops.
quagga gag!
The moment of choice was approaching.
