138 – 22: I tried to be an honest citizen again today.
Well, now that the goal has been decided, all that’s left is to move quickly.
The final goal of this request is to destroy the safe known as the Golden Tower and resurrect Grandma Gaeddong.
It has been newly revealed that before that, for your safety, you have to deal with the evil spirit called Jigwi, which was announced in the quest window.
The longer it is delayed, the less likely it is that the cursed grandmother will return to her original state.
Even if you throw away the game story, quest window, etc., I think it’s a bit weird to see her grandmother die, as I’ve known her grandmother for quite some time.
I felt like I was watching a bastard beat up an elderly person with dementia who I knew well and received food from in the neighborhood right in front of me.
If the elderly person died because of such an incident, she would be truly sad and end up paying relief money, but if she saw him doing that right in front of her eyes, wouldn’t Gae Ddong have to save her grandmother?
I received the request with that feeling, but the quest window’s behavior was somewhat suspicious, so I tried to catch that evil spirit first, but-
No matter where I tried to start, the situation was not easy.
A special environment called the backworld where crime is rampant. A vault keeper who protects and manages the Geumjatap. There, there is an evil spirit called Jigwi who starts killing all the people related to Geumjatap.
There were many problems to overcome and find out, so it was not awkward to say that we were struggling.
It’s difficult to access, and I feel like it’s laughing at me because there’s a thread in front of me that I don’t know where it came from.
Actually, I want to check the reaction in the quest window to see what the evil spirit called Jigwi is and then move carefully –

[ The quest’s time limit is displayed as if the conditions have been met. ]
TIP:
—-
Not long after meeting the main character, there was a TIP window that told the time remaining until Gaeddong’s grandmother’s death.
I was very fortunate that even though I had a bad brain, I could read the dead Chinese characters. Let’s keep it a secret that I couldn’t read anything other than Death for about 20 seconds.
The quest window said that there were only 5 days and 4 hours left.
Time is tighter than expected. No matter how hard the academy tried, it seemed like it would be difficult to find out what the evil spirit called Jigwi was doing.
It was natural that it was difficult to find out where the evil spirit, whose origin was unknown, had appeared.
Evil spirits that move under conditions and prohibitions are more threatening than evil spirits that appear randomly, but they are also more difficult to obtain information about.
Nokla believes that the reason people burn to death is because it is a powerful curse that caused even Grandma Gaeddong to fall, so it is a special curse that causes people who rebel against it and add strength to the curse to die.
Thanks to the quest window, I learned that an evil spirit called Jigwi exists. It would have been difficult for me to find out about Jigwi on my own. It is difficult to explain this.
I continued to worry about what to do, and at that moment, unusually for me, the best trick came to mind.
“Because of that curse, the safekeepers would be in danger, and of course they would be in trouble. I’ll save your life so I can take care of that, so if you ask me to show you the safe, won’t you do it?
Anyway, they don’t know exactly how this curse started, so I think they’ll believe me if I tell them I smelled money.”
“…… Yes. It’s definitely a good method. But then, Exorcist Lee Joon will also fall under Sosa’s curse that applies to people associated with the Golden Tower. I think you said you would deal with Sosa’s curse first…….”
“That’s right. I said I would deal with it first. But now that I think about it, I think it would be better to deal with them all at the same time.”
“Certainly it would be nice if that were possible – but is it possible?”
The main character, who was listening to my explanation, made a puzzled face. Now that the main character has not yet discovered where Sosa’s curse came from or who it is, it is natural for him to react like that.
However, there is a method that is very simple in my opinion, something I have learned through coming to this world, experiencing, dealing with, and dealing with all kinds of dirty evil spirits. To be exact, it’s me, so it’s a method you can choose.
To explain this, I mentioned the common sense of an exorcist and the characteristics of this burning death curse that we now know.
“Conditional curses are all powerful and difficult to solve, but the bigger problem is that they cannot be solved in a short period of time, right?”
“Okay…… Right?”
“And according to what has been confirmed so far, this curse is something that is poured out on anyone regardless of the moment it is connected to the safe we call the Monument Tower, but we don’t know exactly when it is activated, right?”
“That’s right~.”
“Then the answer is simple.”
That’s right. It’s a really simple story. I lined up two facts in my head again.
One. I don’t even know what the order is other than that the people involved with this Sosa’s cursed vault die.
Two. An unidentified evil spirit called Jigwi kills people related to the safe.
Just looking at these two facts, we can see that Jigwi is an evil spirit related to the safe.
Then, there is one way to solve everything from Jigwi, who is presumed to be guarding the safe, to the curse of Grandma Gaeddong.
It’s such a simple method and I’ve proven its effectiveness with my own body, so I can’t understand why smarter people than me don’t talk about it.
“There’s no need to think too hard, just make contact with the safe and then destroy it with your own hands while you have some time left, right? “Then, it doesn’t matter whether there is a curse or not.”
That’s right. Curse or whatever, what are you going to do if I smash the safe to pieces?
How are you going to withstand a skill that can kill even a divine spirit, be it a fetish or an evil spirit?
In the end, if an evil spirit called Jigwi tries to break the safe, due to the nature of the evil spirit, it will appear to protect the object related to it, and if you kill the evil spirit that appears before it burns to death, the problem will be solved.
Il Type. Two birds with one stone. There will be no simpler and simpler solution to solve this case.
Thinking like that, I looked at the main character Party and Nokra. Isn’t the reason you called me in the first place because my skill, no matter what the curse is, once you kill it, unlike normal curses, it is resolved all at once?
But why do they look like that? There’s a lot he wants to say, but he can’t and his face is grumpy. Even Wooshin – no, even Blue Dragon – had that kind of expression.
I scratched my chin, wondering if I had said something strange. I soon realized that the quest window that popped up was an illusion.
—-
[ Player. It’s not possible. Why are you telling me to fight, and this time you really want to fight again? In the first place, you should not accept a curse with the mindset that if something goes wrong, you will die. ]
—-
Ugh. When he told me to fight, I tried to fight again, thinking I would do him a favor.
I smiled brightly and put the quest window away. Rather, Yuri Lee is sleeping standing up. I let out a laugh.

An exorcist is a person who overcomes a curse. Maehwa always lived with these words in her mouth.
This is an undeniable fact, and it can be said to have summarized the life that those who embrace spiritual power carry in one form or another.
But there is a limit to the curse one person can bear.
Most exorcists end up not realizing that they have surpassed their limit.
The final form can be anything from an evil spirit to a curse left by someone out of jealousy, jealousy, or other emotions.
In that sense, Nokra felt that what Lee Jun said just now was very unsettling.
“There’s no need to think too hard, just contact the safe and break it with your own hands when there’s still time left, right? “Then, it doesn’t matter whether there is a curse or not.”
It was definitely like that. It was reasonable.
Even if you are cursed, the Monumental Pagoda, which is the cause of the curse, is completely destroyed before the curse is activated to prevent the curse from working.
As we were not sure what Sosa’s curse was, there was no immediate choice other than the method mentioned by Lee Jun, who probably had the skill to kill anything.
However, an average exorcist – even an A-level exorcist – would not think of receiving such a curse personally. Because I’m dead.
An exorcist is not talking about overcoming a curse. He deliberately carries a curse that might kill him. It’s nothing more than a suicide attempt.
Nokra also realized that Lee Jun has a skill that goes beyond common sense and kills even gods, but even if he has that skill, it is strange that he would sacrifice his own life.
Lee Jun has always been a child who is difficult to guess what he is thinking, but he is still strange. He put himself in such danger just because he received a request.
Nokra slightly lowered his sunglasses and looked at Lee Jun with worried eyes.
The boy who relieved her resentment. Thanks to the boy who erased her hell called Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital from this world, she can now comfort the souls of her students who fell victim to her adult patheticness.
You can say he is a benefactor. Due to Lee Jun’s actions, Nokra was barely able to get rid of the old rust lodged in her heart.
I have to say thank you to him. Strangely, his mouth did not drop. The excuse that I’ve been busy since then doesn’t work either.
I was so grateful and grateful, but I couldn’t open my mouth. Until the incident where the old man fell due to a curse occurred, he never had the courage to go looking for him. I wonder why.
Whether Nokra is thinking that way or not. Since the plan that Lee Joon mentioned was the most realistic and feasible, those present at that location decided to follow Lee Joon’s plan.
No one knows his personality, so Ei and Soo-mok, who were originally called to deal with the curse, switched to supporting the main character along with Seo Yoon-seo.
Since it was Nokra’s role to find a way to approach the safekeeper, Nokra left a message telling them to stay overnight and meet again tomorrow morning.
And then, when Lee Jun and I were alone – or more accurately, together with the spirit Wooshin, Nokra cautiously opened his mouth.
I don’t know why I couldn’t even say thank you properly until now, but I still wanted to say what I needed to say.
“- Hey~ Thank you so much. Jun. Thanks to you…… Well, thanks for taking care of Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital. Thanks to you, my children can now rest comfortably.
But…… Hmm, I was just curious. You didn’t go to that place again because of me, right? Well, I’m sorry if that’s the case…….”
Nokra tried to just say thank you, but the tongue moving freely made him lose his breath.
What I was curious about was true. Why did that boy return to that hell? It is true that even if one has the ability and power, it is dangerous.
That’s why she was anxious. If it’s my fault that I end up in that place again – then – that means that I, who became a human being for the sake of my children, is no different from before.
Nokra swallowed her dry saliva and looked at her Lee Jun. The words have already been spit out and cannot be contained again.
Lee Jun rolled his eyes. The boy, who opened his mouth and blinked his eyes, soon answered Nokra.
“Uh, I just went there because I had something to do at that time. I heard that story…… I am really sorry. Honestly, I didn’t care.
I happened to hear about what happened from another kid. I had half forgotten about it at the time. Well, I also had a lot of work to do at the time…… ? So… ….”
“Uh, huh?”
Nokra was slightly embarrassed by Lee Jun’s reaction.
In the past, the spirit Nokra was famous as a spirit who received special treatment from believers and cared very much for them. The news that such believers were exterminated in a hell called Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital was also famous.
Because he was so famous, Nokra, who felt various emotions including gratitude and regret at the thought that Lee Joon may have used his strength after learning about what happened at Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, realized that he was excited.
It was a very big event within her as it was an event that made her decide to become her own person. After hearing that, her face heated up when she saw Lee Jun humbly saying that she had forgotten.
Lee Jun looked at Nokra’s face and scratched her chin for a moment, then smiled and said.
“But I’m glad.”
“Yes…… ? What?”
“Even if it’s something I did for other reasons, it’s good if what I did in people’s lives helped others and relieved them of their difficulties. Are you saying that good things are not good things? It’s late, but may you rest in peace.”
“- hahahaha.”

Nokra burst into laughter at what Lee Jun said.
Humans and relationships between humans are very difficult. An act of kindness may become a curse, or love may become harassment.
Exorcists deal with evil spirits born from such emotions, so they call such a person’s emotions a curse. Actually, that is also true.
But what Lee Jun said now is to scoff at such cold reality and say that good things are good things.
Even though she became human, she still found it difficult to be human. Those words felt very pleasant and she smiled.
