118 – 20: I hate the heaven of Jesus and the hell of disbelief.
A cafe near the academy. Built at the intersection of Korea’s great spiritual veins, it is said to be an ominous place where so many evil spirits proliferate that ordinary people cannot go near it.
However, because of its special characteristics, it was used by volunteer soldiers and independence forces during the Japanese colonial period, and since then, it has been frequently used by exorcists for secret secret relationships. There was a second floor here.
The first floor has the same interior as a normal cafe. The second floor is different.
Basically, it is a dark room where only the person in front can be seen.
There are a total of 8 rooms. What happens in each room cannot be known from the outside.
Special castings and techniques are engraved throughout the building, making wiretapping using cell phones or recorders, as well as wiretapping using skills, impossible in the rooms on the second floor.
As soon as you try to publicize the interior scenery or the contract made internally to the outside world, the curse box that is said to have come from Japan activates and kills the person.
Unlike the first floor, this is a special place that can only be used by those who have paid a high price in addition to having their identity guaranteed.
Unlike the first floor, only VIPs could use it. The man in the suit was shaking his legs as if he was anxious and only adjusted his tie.
The name is Ma Seok-woo. An unlit cigarette sways in his mouth, and his eyes quickly look around the room where an ominous curse is felt.
If someone were to see Ma Seok-woo now, they would describe him as an animal chained to a slaughterhouse.
To that extent, the man named Ma Seok-woo was trembling with anxiety.
‘Damn. ‘I still don’t know why I came to this place.’
He has a level of spiritual power that allows him to barely see evil spirits. He was a person who is difficult to call common, but also difficult to call rare.
He himself cannot be an exorcist. He had many ways to make money just by being able to see evil spirits.
That’s why this man chose a career as a broker, earning a commission by entrusting the work of wealthy people to freelance exorcists.
He was an ordinary office worker, but he had a lot of concerns about suddenly making this choice.
It was impossible to live a life like ordinary people as long as one saw the evil being called an evil spirit with one’s own eyes.
If I were to tell you my true feelings, I was lonely.
He kept his eyes down to avoid making eye contact with evil spirits while walking down the street, and this was the only way he could survive, indirectly at least in conflict with people who saw the same thing.
He chose this life to relieve loneliness. Although I was prepared to take the risks that came with it.
-I never thought I would get involved with the Vatican in this way.
It was common to get involved with the Academy or the now-defunct Exorcism Office, and I also worked with exorcists from China or Japan. No way, it’s the Vatican!
“You came first.”
Ma Seok-woo came to his senses and opened his eyes at the sound of a sigh-like voice that woke him from his thoughts.
The one who entered the room was a girl who looked much younger than Ma Seok-woo.
Pure white hair down to the waist and yellow eyes. The strange shape of a cross engraved in those eyes. Wearing a school uniform to prove that you are a student, and a gold cross hanging around your neck.
If you only look at these elements, the girl appears to be delicate and fragile, as if she was taken from a painting or a novel and a simple girl character brought to life.
“May the Lord’s grace fill you. Nice to see you. Ma Seok-woo. My name is Yuri Lee. “Thank you very much for giving us your time.”
The girl who greeted me politely only seemed to be a young lady who had grown up in a noble place.
It didn’t suit him to be in such a dark and eerie place, but the man didn’t relax when he saw his appearance. No, he couldn’t exactly relax.
The gorgeous golden cross hanging around the girl’s neck is a sign that the child belongs to the Order of the Holy Eucharist in the Vatican.
The image of the cross engraved in her eyes was a sign proving that this girl was not just a girl, but a being chosen by God.
He moistened his lips with saliva and carefully chose his words.
“- No. I am rather honored to have you call me here. “Saint.”
“Oh my. “It’s an honor to be called that way.”
At the title of saint, the girl just smiled while covering her mouth, but that smile indirectly said that the title was not wrong.
Saint woman. Ma Seok-woo looked at the girl who did not deny the name she had just mentioned, and swallowed dry saliva due to her nervousness.
Vatican, Christian saint. There is no one in this industry who does not know the weight of the name that exists.
Christianity is a religion that is widespread throughout the world. The reason this was possible in this world is because the God believed in in Christianity does not exist in modern times as a divine spirit, but exists as a teaching and symbol.
Is there anyone who does not know the doctrine of loving one’s neighbors? There is no need to discuss separately how much the Bible and the church have contributed to human development.
But of course it is impossible to become the largest religion in the world with simple teachings alone.
In the face of the inevitable disaster called evil spirits, isn’t there a way that the religion of Christianity has no power in protecting people from the various spirits that exist in each country?
The Vatican expresses the ‘power’ they wield as a miracle brought about in return for faith in the Lord.
People who know the true nature of the ‘miracle’ are afraid of their fanaticism. That power is by no means divine, like a miracle.
“Exorcist Lee Jun hasn’t come yet?”
“Yes. He said he would come on time.”
“I see. Thank you for letting me know. And thank goodness. “If I have time, I could offer up a prayer.”
The girl smiled brightly and folded her hands together and began her prayer.
In this dark and quiet room, a sacred light suddenly bursts out, and the scent of roses begins to waft.
Ma Seok-woo somehow withdrew his gaze from the scent and light and looked at the huge golden barrel the girl was carrying on her shoulder.
The huge barrel that seemed to be made of gold had a cylindrical shape and a height of approximately 2m. It was large enough for two adult men to hold hands.
The cylinder, whose contents are unknown, has a cross and a lamb carved in a circle, and a shepherd holding a staff stands in the center.
It seemed light as the slender girl casually tied it with a rope and carried it on her shoulder.
When the girl carefully placed the cylinder on the floor, the sound she heard proved that it was definitely not a light object.
That huge gold barrel itself is a seal and a casting.
His eyes were limited to seeing, but his eyes were trained to survive in this industry, and he could see up to that point, but beyond that, he couldn’t figure out what the casting was used for.
‘I can’t believe a saint with stigmata brought such a fetish. Did she really desire that person?’
Ma Seok-woo is not a person with enough money and credit to enter the second floor of this cafe.
The reason he was able to be here was purely because the girl in front of him used her strength. A broker who deals with Lee Joon. With just that title, he sits in this incongruous place.
Lee Jun. Class A exorcist. Assisted in the extermination of Mama, a divine-level evil spirit, and exorcised several A-level evil spirits.
He knew that they wanted to somehow appease him, who had single-handedly purified the cursed land of Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital with Hwaryongjeomjeong.
I never thought the Vatican would send a ‘saint’ who was born in the East and bore the ‘stigmata’.
As a girl born in this country, it was not strange for her to sneak in so quickly, but of course I couldn’t help but wonder.
What is so urgent about the Vatican? What on earth are you planning?
The fact that the saint was in such a hurry to approach a back-world broker like Ma Seok-woo shows that the Vatican is not just looking to hire talented people, but is up to something.
And the fact that an organization like the Vatican is plotting something using you means that your life is like a candle in the wind.
This was his failure to recognize in advance and run away when the Vatican approached him with his name hidden.
They say they applied for the request for personal business rather than a request from the Vatican, but isn’t that a lie?
This is how life ends. Why is he lamenting so much, saint? Lee Yu-ri spoke as if she had read Ma Seok-woo’s thoughts.
“There is no need to be so afraid. Ma Seok-woo. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
The Lord spoke of forgiveness and commanded us to show love to our neighbors. Don’t be scared. There is no way we would do such a terrible thing to Ma Seok-woo, who helps us, right?
If you are afraid, I will make a promise in my name. I will not cause any harm to Ma Seok-woo, who helped me. “I will always pray for your salvation.”
Ma Seok-woo smiled brightly and said confidently without the slightest hint of hypocrisy or lies.
The tone in which he repeatedly emphasized Ma Seok-woo, who helped him, was, to put it another way, a threat of what would happen if he did not help him.
But those words are not ordinary threats or lies. In her own way, that girl purely shows favor towards Ma Seok-woo.
Ma Seok-woo lowered his eyes at the golden eyes that seemed to penetrate even the human soul.
People believe that a saint with stigmata received the blessings of God in the Bible and performed her miracles.
You may think that you are an honest and holy person who cannot even tell a lie, but in reality, it is different.
In addition to the Vatican, divine-level evil spirits also appear in countries that believe in Christianity.
The reason humans worship gods is because it is impossible to defeat evil spirits who wield the same power and authority as gods.
In Christianity, we believe in and follow only one god, so we cannot worship such evil spirits as gods. That’s why they give it the name of an angel and call it God’s messenger.
From Noble mtl dot com
When dealing with dangerous evil spirits that cannot become spirits. This religion has found a way to gain enough ‘power’ to become one of the most famous religions in the world.
The method is to seal evil spirits, who are divine spirits and cannot be revered as angels in this religion, in the human body.
The technique, created after a long period of research and experimentation, is called stigmata and appears to humans who can receive the power of a god-level evil spirit.
Being a saint is a guarantee that she has already been completed as a vessel.
The girl is no longer human. Since she is a saint with stigmata, she is not human.
The most terrible thing here is that this is not done by force, but through self-sacrifice out of pure faith.
If the person who would become the vessel rejects it, such a saint or saint cannot be born. Only those who have devoted themselves to God with pure and pure faith can become saints.
Depending on the Christian sect, there are places where the saint is described as an angel. If it were Ma Seok-woo, he would rather use a different expression.
A miracle of God or an angel. Instead of such a hypocritical name, the word “Living sacrifice.”
“…… I believe it. Because these are the words of a saint. “Because that’s what the saint says.”
“I’m glad my worries are gone.”
Saint Lee Yu-ri said this and continued her prayer again. It was clear that Lee Jun intended to stay like that until he arrived here.
Ma Seok-woo wanted to end his relationship with this fearsome saint as quickly as possible, and for him, he was desperately waiting for Lee Jun to come.
But just because he was in a hurry, it was impossible to send a message telling him to come quickly.
He was a man who was always on time as promised, but the promised time has not yet arrived.
And actually, I’m worried even if he comes. Lee Jun’s personality was famous even in the underworld. He doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do, no matter how much he is paid.
Ignoring the love calls from the Academy and the Exorcism Office. He is a boy who was recognized as the person who could become Maehwa’s successor, but rejected it through an Internet broadcast, saying that it was sh*t.
I can’t believe that the position of successor chosen by the strongest exorcist was kicked out through the broadcast of an Internet broadcaster passing by while walking down the street.
They say that all exorcists are crazy, but the boy is probably a very high-ranking crazy person among those crazy people.
Being that kind of boy, he was worried about what would happen to this request.
A fanatic who sacrifices his own body and a boy with a dirty personality. If you make a mistake, you could get caught in a fight between the two and lose your head.
Yes, but there is nothing he can do.
Even though Ma Seok-woo knew that it was impossible, he just hoped that if he refused the request, the saintess would easily give in.
The door opened after such a long wait. Lee Jun opened the door and appeared exactly on time, looking a little more tired than usual.
“Ah, you came first. This is Lee Jun. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Yuri Lee. It’s an honor to meet you. Exorcist Lee Jun. May God bless you.”
“Ah. Yes, thank you. Nun…… Sir? Sister? He-uh, he-he, he. Mr. Ha, what was it?”
“?”
Lee Jun, who bowed politely and spoke, seemed to be trying to maintain his usual manners.
While briefly exchanging greetings, he groaned as if he couldn’t remember something, then gently approached Ma Seok-woo and asked a small question.
“Um, is that a greeting given in religion? What was it? First of all, I was thinking about putting a wooden Amitabha Buddha first if it was like a cult, but suddenly I couldn’t remember that…….”
“…… “Amen.”
“Ah, Amen. Thank you.”
You didn’t intend to talk in the first place.
Ma Seok-woo thought it was a good idea to write a will in advance and come to the imagined future.
