136 – 22: I tried to be an honest citizen again today.
How long has it been since I sent a message saying that it would be a good idea to send Lee Yu-ri to a mental hospital when her mental illness seemed to have worsened? Has it passed?
As the sky began to darken in an instant, as if proving that it was November and the weather was still hot and the days were getting shorter, I received a call from Nokra saying that they seemed to have found a way.
I am now going to the academy because I was told that there were things I could confirm by meeting rather than just delivering it over the phone.
Actually, I was relieved that the call came sooner than I expected.
This is because it was scary to keep Yu-ri Lee, who literally said she would do anything with a light in her eyes, like this.
He must have evolved to have luminous elements in his eyes, so he will shine brightly and sacrifice his entire life for atonement. He says he will follow the path he has chosen, not what someone else says.
The sight was so scary that even Wooshin was slightly scared.
“Captain. “It seems like the light coming from that person’s eyes is getting stronger.”
“I think we touched the wrong crazy person.”
This is why vegetables are not good no matter what. It seems like the vegetable counselor made a mistake and created a crazy b*tch with a different vector. The problem was that the wild counselor was me.
As I left the cafe and headed to the academy where I was supposed to meet Nokra, I was even more horrified to see Yuri Lee glowing even under her covered hood.
When I first met her, she had that kind of vibe that she was a saint-mysterious-but now, if I touch her in the wrong way, I feel like I’ll be caught in that spot and hear about the greatness of the Lord for hours.
Lee Yu-ri seems to have become the strangest category of religious person, not simply asking people to pay money or come to church somewhere, but simply to listen to the greatness of Jesus and spend hours listening to it.
The taxi driver also saw the super nun with a light in her eyes and made a face saying that there are a lot of strange things in the world these days.
How on earth do those eyes shine so brightly? I was curious, but I didn’t want to touch her, so I made a promise to her that I would definitely return this woman to her original cell.
“Welcome! As soon as I arrived, it seemed like I was in a hurry, so let me explain… …. Umm, it’s good that the saint next to me got strength in her eyes, but it’s too bright~ Let’s turn on the lights and talk for a moment~ I made it dark to set the mood, but it’s too bright.”
Nokra turned on the light in a slightly embarrassed tone.
It was a bit dark, but it was a space where you could read what was there and the letters, but the light was so bright that it hurt Yuri’s eyes, so it was an obvious choice because she couldn’t see anything.
Conference room. There were no windows, the doors were thick, and the walls were heavily covered with sound-blocking cladding.
Looking at the spiritual power flowing gently through the walls, it seemed like a space that had been blocked from secret eavesdropping from the outside, just like what I had seen before on the second floor of the cafe.
Since we are talking about something related to Grandma Gaeddong, it is natural that we need a space like this, but-.
“So what did you find? “Can we move right now?”
“Ugh, it’s urgent, but there’s something I need to prepare first, so let me explain.”
As Nokra said this, he lifted something from her arms, lifted it from the foot of Juseom, and placed it on her desk. It was a wooden box containing a bundle of fetishes and amulets.
“…… Fetishes and amulets?”
“After hearing what you said, we confirmed the location of the bounty safe that is suspected to be the medium of the curse – a safe that we temporarily call the Golden Tower.
However, the safe is not simply stored somewhere underground, but is stored in a subspace, and the person who handles that space is managed by someone called a ‘safekeeper’ who has a special casting or skill.
Of course, even if you suppress the vault keeper and his group by force – in the worst case scenario, if the vault keeper commits suicide, it will be impossible to secure the curse medium.
So what we prepared is this. “These are fetishes and amulets prepared to forcibly interfere with and fix this space.”
With those words, I was able to immediately realize what Nokra had planned.
So, Nokra went to the safekeepers who were guarding the safe and had them take the safe, which was said to be stored in subspace, out to the outside.
Use the amulet and fetish to prevent the safe from returning to subspace and then destroy the safe. That’s Nokra’s current plan.
We have found out where the safe keepers are and prepared to anchor the safe to reality, so now we just have to find a way to meet them and find the safe.
…… No, before that, the question is whether I can use this talisman properly.
When I used the amulet, which is said to be able to create a barrier even for a child as long as it has spiritual power, it turned into a bomb. Thanks to that, I got to know the starfish and Jangsanbeom, so I clearly remember them.
“Can I use this?”
“I put a lot of effort into controlling this so that I could use it more simply! The amulet itself contains spiritual power, so it is a special product that even people without spiritual power can use!
This is a product that Mr. Hwadeokjin personally inspected and said that it performs well, so it’s okay~”
“…… That’s amazing. They say that in Korea, there is a spirit with the power to make castings, so casting technology is developing faster than in other countries. “I guess it was true.”
Lee Yu-ri says she is amazed that such an amulet was created.
Nokra smiled happily and told me to relax as I had brought a lot of amulets so I could practice just in case. I held the amulet in my hand again with the feeling of just in case.
I know that everyone has different talents, but it was a bit shocking that I was the only one who could not use a talisman that even a 5-year-old child could use.
When strengthening the body, it feels like cramming spiritual power into the body or weapon according to its capacity, whereas using an amulet feels like adjusting it so that it can be put into a smaller circuit.
This body is probably someone who has difficulty handling delicate operations. Unlike me, who was called a genius at cutting tiles when I was learning how to work with tiles, I don’t seem to have good dexterity…
If Nokra can boast so much, you can probably use it no matter how dexterous[?] You are. To check, I held the amulet in my hand and tried to infuse it with spiritual power.
The flame of spiritual power burns in the amulet. The letters drawn in red glowed brightly and it felt different from before.
Yes. It’s a fetish that even people without spiritual powers can use, but even though I’m an exorcist, I can’t use it…
Bam!!
“… ….”
Wooshin gets caught in the explosion with me! Amidst noise, smoke and explosions of alcohol. When I came to, my body was stuck on the ceiling like in a cartoon.
Like me, Lee Yuri was seen rolling on the floor in a blur, and Nokra was the only one who was fine because she quickly ducked under the desk as if she had expected this.
Nokra rolled his eyes. She put her sunglasses back on and said with a mysterious expression.
“…… Yeah, yeah. Uh. As I said before, everyone has different specialties, right? You don’t have to be so sad…… ? “Well, I probably made this wrong- I’m the one who should say sorry-“

“Stop.”
“No…… Jun, that’s-“
Stop it.
I fell through the ceiling and landed on my face on the floor.
Boom! I fell and it must have hurt, but why? My heart hurt more than my face.
*****
Pitch-black interior. The sound of car wheels whizzing by and light illuminate the space where old, worn-out items and items that appear to be newly made are scattered around haphazardly at regular intervals.
If someone sees this place, they might think of a rotten space, but surprisingly, there is a fragrant wood smell inside.
There are no rules when it comes to hanging objects. There are items that are old enough to be in museums, and new home appliances that are being advertised on TV right now are lined up in a haphazard manner.
A luxurious-looking wooden table placed in the middle of such a space. On the table is tea with the fragrant scent of flowers.
The wooden table is shiny and lacquered, and although there are no patterns engraved on it, the grain of the wooden table itself looks like a work of art.
The person sitting at such an expensive-looking table and holding a tea cup sipped the tea in his mouth, ignoring the darkness as if the dim light of the car’s headlights was a distraction.
It is incomprehensible why the car did not wet the clothes even though there was not a single piece of flesh attached to any part of the body except the skin on the face, but there was no one here who would question that.
“[ What a satisfying day – true passion! Will! Strength! The worst curse! The times and fate are leading us to where we belong! Now we have proven that we are the owners of this land!
…… Well – I’m not denying that fate sometimes makes efforts to make it inevitable rather than inevitable. Tsk tsk tsk.
We still have a mission left to lead the man at the center of his destiny to where he should be. ]”
Her man smiled as he carefully placed her fedora hat on her lap.
“[Lee Jun. My close friend my friend He is the strongest in this era. Even excluding his unique skills, he can’t be beat! Even that plum obviously fights him, the outcome is not certain!
The record he has already shown, his fighting spirit, and his madness prove his strength! Yes His existence is another wall and a great ordeal in front of our grand dreams!
He is an invincible being and should never be dealt with! Humans and demons! We can never tolerate each other! A relationship where they kill each other, not just a simple prey and predator!
Even if humans see the plum blossom fallen, they can feel reassured just by his presence!
Normally, that would be the case! If it’s normal!! Ah! Destiny! How did we bring this ridiculous and terrible reality to this place? Was the beacon of hope seen in the midst of a strong storm actually the beacon of the devil leading to death? ]”
Bang!
As the skeleton man became excited and raised his voice, a curse flowed out, and, unable to overcome the curse, he cracked! A broken teacup.
When the glass shattered, the skeleton man made an audible sound and ate it as if he was disappointed. She soon grinned and glared at the being in front of her.
In the pitch-black darkness, nothing can be seen, but there is something. The skeleton man knew.
It is something that is always hidden in the darkness of the night, and makes you feel an ominous gaze watching you even in places where there are no evil spirits.
A blazing flame and a dried, mummy-like hand emerge from the darkness and rise onto the table. What you hear right away is a sound like something passing by.
It was a noise that wasn’t even language, but the skeleton man, who seemed to understand the sound, smiled and spoke as if he was even more satisfied.
“[ That’s right. I am not sure whether my remaining compatriots will be able to kill him even if they join forces to defeat him.
Just having the divine spirit Wooshin by his side is annoying, but Lee Jun is strong even on his own. ]”
The skeleton man thought as he put on another pair of gloves to replace her tea-stained ones.
They say the world is in balance, but. The Skeleton Man thinks differently.
The balance of the world has been shattered for a long time since the being called Plum began to protect this world.
No matter how strong evil spirits and divine-level evil spirits appear, humans continue to increase and do not decrease.
It grows like a bug and doesn’t shrink no matter how much you kill it, so wouldn’t it be right to call it a bug?
The skeleton man is not particularly angry at that. The more bugs he has, the more happily he can enjoy this world.
Human hatred! Anger! The best gourmet food that shows different reactions even when thrown in the same situation, and shows different flavors even though it looks similar!
You can’t believe they’re all killing this! There’s no way you would do something so wasteful!
That’s why he ignored Lee Mae-mang-ryang and the being in front of him when they suggested that they together turn the world upside down. There was no interest at all.
If I hadn’t seen the man named Lee Jun in person, he would have continued to be like that. I would have thought the balance was off.
ㅡNot knowing that the balance was already in place!
A possessed body is a being frozen in time when it first became such a being.
Although he had spiritual power, he could not control it. It was only winter when the Skeleton Man suffered and cursed the world and became a monster.
Although he was always cold and a chill wrapped around his body, Lee Jun. The moment I saw him, an even more pleasant storm broke out in the winter that trapped the skeleton man. A truly delightful storm.
“[There is only one trial left for us in this game. Pushing him, who is currently the strongest man in the world, to his limits.
How can I do this? The gods have lost their demi-god powers, the world is in chaos, and people are burning in the flames of madness or dying from maniacal obsession.
Nevertheless, he is strong. Even if all of our remaining compatriots rush in, they will suffer so much damage that they will no longer be able to continue their dream. When you’re alone – if you fight. ]”
The skeleton man pursed his lips. Even if all of the remaining demons of Lee Mae-mangyang rush to push a man named Lee Joon to the limit, it is unclear whether they will be able to push him to the limit.
Limitation here does not mean ‘killing.’ There is no point in killing it. You must not kill him.
“[It is important to make people do whatever it takes to survive. Yes. The purpose of living needs to be for yourself. Whether it’s revenge, fear of death, or anger.
He has faced death so far, and even death has been an option, and he has only lived so far because the being who insulted him wanted death.
That’s so-so fun! That’s not the limit. In the first place, even death was an option for him.
Limitations are the will to live in any state, that kind of feeling. It was difficult for him because he felt like he had already experienced a life worse than death – but not now. ]”
If there is nothing to regret in this world, there is no desire to live. It’s a natural thing.
But now he has a reason to want to live, and there is a being he must kill for that divine spirit.
And because such a thing came into existence, he was able to become an even more ‘special’ being.
How, how miserable is this curse?
“[It would be impossible to deal with her head on – her own body had already taught her what to do to deal with that man. ]”
As the skeleton man said this, he lifted something from under the floor. It was a charred corpse with only part of his head and a few pieces of neck and flesh remaining above his chest.
It barely maintains its shape thanks to amulets and special spells, but it doesn’t look strange even if it breaks at any time.
The evil spirit that was called the nine-tailed fox in the past and left its name in history books is like this now. It’s a miracle that we were able to pick up even these pieces from the divine spirit Ushin’s attack in the first place.
If an E-class evil spirit tries to eat it, it will be helplessly devoured, but it can still use this skill. Although it may only be once – you can use it once. That was enough.
“[ Attracts people, disturbs them. Actually, this is the best option. However, we must not blindly kill humans.
He knows that he cannot save everyone, and if he decides that the fight to save them is pointless, he is a man who will attack even at the risk of getting blood on his hands.
But if we know his line, if he doesn’t cross it and we use the cards we have – we can achieve what we want. ]”
The skeleton man laughed. The blue flame in the darkness also curved as if smiling.
The light from the headlights of a large car illuminates the interior right away. When the light that had illuminated the inside so brightly that it was impossible to see went away and the inside became dark again, there was nothing left inside.
It was as if nothing had been here to begin with, and only the broken teacup remained cold on the table.
