Episode 207
The exorcism headquarters in Korea is famous all over the world, and it is a group with a long history.
Therefore, of course, he possessed the corresponding ability.
It was clear just looking at the process of responding to the second Baekgwi-yak incident.
Because we were able to quickly grasp the situation, reduce damage to a minimum, and eventually build a perfect defense line.
And at that exorcism headquarters, an urgent meeting was now called.
It was because of the rumors about the 3rd Baekgwi Night Trip.
“I am sure there is a possibility. If it happened twice, there’s no way it shouldn’t happen three times.”
“But considering the gap between the last two times, can’t we just relax for now?”
“Why don’t you know that’s the most dangerous idea? Such complacency leads to unexpected sacrifices.”
All of them made sense.
It may be premature to warn of it now, but on the contrary, it could be a huge mistake.
And, a piece of information that was floating around right now was further igniting such an argument.
“What do you all think? Rumors that are spreading rapidly now.”
“About the oracle bones?”
“That’s right.”
Now, in the Korean witchcraft circles, one detailed hypothesis was circulating as to the cause of the White Ghost.
That is exactly what happened with the device called the oracle bone, and according to the structure of the three-pronged box, the last white guinea pig will soon arrive.
And, somehow, this was a situation in which it was accepted as half-true with a lot of support in English.
“Isn’t that something that doesn’t make any sense at all?”
“Compared to other absurd hypotheses, this one is convincing.”
“Of course, I can’t be sure what is true, though.”
Even the top three famous families say there is a movement along the way, so at least it meant that it wasn’t just a rumor without a source.
“Then, do you really need to see that damn thing one more time?”
At that one word, the atmosphere in the hall became somber. I’m already having trouble with post-processing, but if the situation escalates even further here, it might get out of control.
“Eh, even then, rumors are not rumors. Make sure you don’t act recklessly.”
In the original case, the agenda would have passed and only appropriate countermeasures would have been prepared.
Coincidentally, however, at that time, a visitor came to the Exorcism Headquarters.
Tickle!
“Ah, sorry during the meeting! However, the messenger sent by Unyeon… … .”
“what?”
There was no one here who did not know the name of Yun-Yeon, a prophet and famous shaman.
And as if everyone recognized what it meant, they each began to share their gazes with firm expressions on their faces.
“… hello. My name is Hwang Jin, who is serving as a servant next to Unyeon.”
“So, what is the reason for coming here in such a hurry?”
“Unyeon has sent you an urgent message.”
Unyeon woke up this morning with a look as if the sky had collapsed, and what she said to Hwangjin was really simple.
“We cannot see our future. You said.”
“That means, maybe… … .”
“Yes. A great crisis of unimaginable size is approaching.”
Even though Unyeon keeps away from others, she doesn’t say nonsense.
Everyone here knew it all too well.
So, one word from Unyeon was absolutely enough to freeze the members of the headquarters.
“… It seems that the second coming of the 3rd Baekgwi Night Journey is not far away.”
In this way, the emergency inside the headquarters fell, and the members who were dispatched to the outside began to return one after another.
The flames of war, which I thought had only ceased, were about to rise again.
***
September 24.
It’s only been three weeks since the second Baekgwi Night incident ended.
Shocking news came from all over the world.
That is, all the people called prophets around the world are warning of a crisis with one heart and one accord.
Because it was an unprecedented event that had never happened before, the world began to be engulfed in anxiety again.
People refrained from going out as much as possible, and even when they were walking on the street, there was a lot of shade on one side of their expression.
And under that circumstance, a change took place in the academy as well.
“Am I right that I just heard it right?”
Jeonghansol, with a puzzled expression on his face, tilted his head and asked a question.
I did just that. We had just been out hearing the news that the academy was promulgating a temporary closure.
“… Is the Baekgwi Nights really starting again?”
The cadets usually had a reaction similar to that of Jeonghansol. Everyone was trembling because of the severe damage that had happened just a while ago.
But to me, knowing the truth, even their worries seemed like a luxury.
Anyway, this time, if I didn’t stop it, everything would collapse.
“… I never expected the prophets to come.”
Seo Ji-an, who was standing next to him, sneaked up to him and spat out a word.
As far as I know, such an event did not exist in the original. In all likelihood, it was correct to view it as an action by Hell difficulty.
And that really made my heart feel uncomfortable.
‘Is there anything else?’
Considering the cases so far, that side was reasonable.
However, there was nothing I could do right away just because I knew it, so it was not unreasonable to feel frustrated.
“… He is really coming.”
“I will.”
Just as my father, Empress Dowager Seo, warned me about the situation, Seo Ji-an must also be really confused.
After receiving the power of Empress Dowager Seo, she has achieved remarkable growth, but I don’t know if that will be enough.
And it was the same with me.
‘I have to raise the level.’
And by satisfying the conditions, he must again obtain greater power through the test of the Proposal Sutra.
That was my current plan, so there was no reason to hesitate.
And the talent for it already existed here one step ahead.
“… Can you help me a little?”
“Ugh. There’s nothing to do anyway, so there’s nothing that can’t be done, right?”
One of the fastest ways to level up is to stimulate your own body and mind through a duel with a rival.
In that sense, it was no exaggeration to say that Sophia is the most perfect partner at the moment.
For the rest of the week until the academy was temporarily closed, I used the training ground every day to fight Sophia.
Dalian is almost realistic, with no regard for equipment damage and facility damage.

My level, which had risen like that, was already approaching 53.However, nevertheless, he could not cross the level 55 wall, which is the minimum condition to receive the Proposal Sutra’s test.
However, it didn’t matter. After all, a battlefield to fill in the gaps would soon be prepared.
‘… The time has come.’
According to my information, there is definitely a series of beings that start moving at this point.
It was an organized night school where Bihyung, Hecktail, and Xiao Chen belonged.
‘If it were now, the information on the 3rd Baekgwi Night Trip would have entered their ears.’
Then they definitely move. They will certainly do it to achieve their goals.
After finishing training for a week, I immediately left the academy, which had been completely closed, and moved towards the place Hwang Jin-cheol had provided for me.
And Seo-ah, who was with me, spoke to me.
“… Did you see my brother?”
It was clear what that meant. Because Seo-ah firmly believed that I could read the future.
I nodded my head softly and replied.
“I saw it.”
“… Is Korea okay?”
“I don’t know right now. I just do what I can.”
After moving the distance for a while, Seo-ah hesitated and finally brought out the main point she was holding in her heart.
“Recently, sometimes I hear a voice.”
“What?”
“Well, I can’t be sure, but… … .”
It’s probably a witch. Obviously, she said so.
“What are you talking about?”
“There are still other fragments left, so I ask you to find your traces… … .”
It was the first thing I ever heard. This, too, was not mentioned in the original story.
‘Other fragments are obviously referring to the knowledge of the witches in the rest of the area.’
Promoting it directly was something that my common sense didn’t quite understand.
‘By the way, I found it last time.’
Another passage to the maze of eternity, witnessed in the process of finding the Blue Dragon’s Yeouiju.
To this day, it is connected to the nest of the Phantom Priests, and its presence is radiating from the inside.
Another option set in front of me, I hesitated for a moment and stopped walking.
At the same time, it is a content that is in contact with the thoughts I had only a while ago.
And then I was determined to implement it, even at the risk, if there was an immediate need.
However, it did not take long for a conclusion to be drawn.
‘No, now is not the time.’
At least a little more appropriate timing will surely come.
I took a step back and forwarded those opinions to Seo Ha.
“Let’s ignore it first. Don’t worry too much about it, it won’t be a big deal.”
“yes. I will do that.”
So we met Hwang Jin-cheol’s employee, who was waiting at the designated place, and arrived at the place it was prepared for.
And there, Arietta and Baek So-yul, who had all-around faces, were one step ahead.
“… Sister, long time no see.”
“I came to see you because I seldom contacted you, is there anything you can entrust me with?”
“… … .”
To be honest, it was an unexpected sight, but it wasn’t a bad thing because I was going to seek help sooner or later anyway.
I nodded my head, summoned the two of them and opened their mouths.
“I have an urgent matter to move.”
The two of them, who heard the instructions from me, nodded their heads as if they knew right away and left.
And Seo-ah, who was standing by, stared blankly at such a scene and asked me a question.
“… Since when have you been like this?”
“I have something to do.”
Arietta, who boasted overwhelming popularity even in the graduating class, and Baek So-yul, a first-class exorcist who is said to be one of the futures of the white family.
They were almost following me, so it must have been quite embarrassing.
Seo-ah kept tilting her head. As soon as I didn’t know, I blankly packed my things and went inside the house.
And I, who was left alone, continued my quiet thoughts while checking Seo-ah’s information with an emotional function.
‘… … .’
What to put off and what to think about now. The two are clearly separated.
And once everything was in order, all that was left was action.
