143 – 23: I felt disgusted when I saw the stalker.
I was holding the cell phone in my hand and listening to the news broadcast from the cell phone like it was a radio.
Squatting in the corner of the parking lot of an abandoned building with no one around reminds me of the neighborhood gangsters.
A level E evil spirit is rolling around on the floor and saying, ‘Parking is…’ … When I see them saying, ‘Until 6 o’clock-‘, I think that gangsters in this world are the easiest race to be preyed upon by evil spirits.
As if to prove that my thoughts were right, news of teenage gangsters being murdered while misbehaving was reported as if it were daily news on YouTube News.
Should I call this self-employment or something else?
I glanced at people walking around in long padding under the parking lot of the building, then cleared my mind and focused my attention on my phone again.
Late November. 1:42 P.M. The time has come. The moment I thought that, YouTube News suddenly announced a special report.
‘ [This is breaking news! It is said that Guardian Maehwa, who was currently working on the mountain behind the academy, was attacked by an unidentified assailant!
Currently, the scene is in chaos! The mountain is completely destroyed! Nearby citizens confirmed that an evacuation order had been issued following a sudden explosion an hour ago! It is said that the current status of the plum blossoms has not been confirmed!
The academy, which moves to check the site, also maintains silence – ]’
1 Hour ago. It coincides exactly with the time I left the academy. The newscaster on the cell phone screen was trying to pretend to have an expressionless face, but was seen to be shocked and not knowing what to do.
The same goes for other news, and a commotion can be seen among people passing by on the street below the building’s parking lot.
Is it really that shocking to hear the news that Grandma Gaeddong was harmed? Even if the Blue House was attacked by a terrorist attack, I couldn’t help but swallow my nose for a moment at the sight.
I took out the wooden box I had kept in my bank account. The wooden box containing her grandmother’s hair, blood, and fingernails was filled with dark dog poop, and her grandmother’s spiritual power could be felt.
Honestly, I frown because I feel bad that something like this is in my hands.
Aren’t the people who would be happy to have something like this usually be perverts like stalkers?
But that is only for a moment. The sound of screeching wheels can be heard inside the parking lot of an abandoned building, where entry is already prohibited and only a few abandoned cars are lying around.
As the same sound was repeated several times, a white van stopped in front of me and the door opened. And what appeared was the scholar mask we had seen before.
“I never thought I would actually do it. Thank you for your hard work. First of all, what about the items?”
In response to Seonbi Tal’s question, I handed Gaedong a wooden box containing her grandmother’s hair and blood.
Seonbi Tal checks the inside of the wooden box and nods. The reaction was as if my caution was a lie.
Actually, there is news and Gaeddong brought a box containing the grandmother’s blood and hair. I can’t help but believe it.
“Thank you for your cooperation. This proves your ability. Then we also need to show trust. Could you please step back for a moment?”
Finally. I suppressed my eyes from rolling and took a step back, thinking.
Yuri Lee is hiding face down about 5 meters away from here, wearing a convenient fetish that is said to hide her spiritual power and human presence.
If the hidden safe appears with these guys’ skills, after Seo Yoon-seo fixes the safe in reality. I caught the scholars riding with a cloth, blew them away, and then broke the safe.
If all goes according to plan, there won’t be any difficulties. You never know at what timing a stalker evil spirit called Jigwi may appear, so you must also be on guard against that.
As I take a step back while remaining alert, the shadow on the old concrete floor begins to bubble.
Afterwards, a huge door emerged from the shadows. There was only a door left, so I looked at the scholar’s mask to do something, and the scholar’s mask just made a gesture to tell me to open the door.
When I turned the strangely cold doorknob and opened the door, what caught my eye was the unrealistically spacious interior.
My first thought was that this safe was started a very long time ago, so I thought it would be a collection of old coins, old things, and various other things.
Surprisingly, the bundle of bills seen inside was neatly placed on the table. A wad of 50,000 won bills are stacked in plastic and made into a huge block. And there are several such things inside.
In addition, what appears to be a safe is neatly arranged inside, and it is not just a bundle of money, but a strange space filled with a lot of things that look expensive, including paintings and jewelry.
The smell of bundles of rotting banknotes and old paintings and objects piled up, giving off a strange smell.
And most importantly, the unpleasant feeling inside – a curse.
An energy similar to the curse felt from Gaeddong’s grandmother fills the inside.
Whether it’s because of the curse or because of this much cash, I feel overwhelmed.
…… But the money here. Should I burn it all? What a waste.
“It is said that the items collected in the safe so far reach the national budget of the Republic of Korea, but in reality, it is not that much.
Well, it is true that an amount approaching 90 trillion has been collected. South Korea’s annual national budget amounts to 600 trillion won.
Well, in some underdeveloped country, 90 trillion won would be the budget for one year. Additionally, if the request is successful, the deposit will be sent in kind or to your account. “Money laundering for safety is done in a reliable way on our part-“
As I was feeling sad about having to get rid of the 90 trillion won, which I couldn’t tell exactly how much it was even after seeing it in person, the safekeeper continued to explain blah blah blah.
I gently took my head out of the safe while the safekeeper continued talking.
It was clear that this safe with only a door was a structure that could not be stolen by reckless means.
Looking at the other safe guards who are watching this area from inside the van, it looks like they are planning to attack me in return if I do something strange.
Considering that Seo Yoon-seo’s skill is parrying and that her grade has become B, it will be difficult to do anything to Seo Yoon-seo, let alone me, right away.
So, I quietly showed the hand gestures I had promised in advance and urged Seo Yoon-seo to move.
“…… ?”
Despite the promised gesture, Seo Yoon-seo did not move. Rather, what is heard is the sound of something being urgently kicked, along with the loud sound of metal colliding and breaking.
In the corner of my eye, I saw the recognition-impairing cast of clothes that Seo Yoon-seo was wearing burning and flying into the air.
It was Seo Yoon-seo’s unexpected behavior, but I forgot to be surprised and just fixed my eyes in front of him.
Even though the sun was still high above this parking building, it was dark and humid. I chose this place because it is truly fitting that it is the perfect place for ghosts to appear, but-
A little while ago, this space wasn’t so dark that you couldn’t see an inch in front of you like it is now.
I can’t even hear the sound of grass blades rustling in the wind, and it feels like all the light in the world is starting to disappear from the shadows.
There is something. There, something.
I instinctively pulled on the collar of the scholar mask. Scholar Tal couldn’t react to my sudden action and said ugh! I made a sound like that.
As if to prove that my actions were correct, a small spark called Tidig flew across the location where the scholar’s mask was.
The embers, fluttering like small butterflies, passed by Seonbi Tal and me and reached the white van. At that moment, the van was engulfed in flames.
A van explodes with so much heat that it makes you think your skin is burning. The frame of what used to be a vehicle appears blurred in the bright red flames.
The possibility that anyone inside survived was zero.
“What on earth is this!?”
Tal, a scholar who barely survived thanks to me, seemed embarrassed by the sudden situation and made a noise, so I tried to give him a little explanation.
When I saw the state of the scholar’s clothes, I realized that I did not have time to explain leisurely.
The wrists of the scholar’s mask are cut off and half of the body is being burned by something.
And the person sitting in front of the scholar’s mask was a person. Dressed in an old, tattered hanbok, she sits with her back to me, holding in her hands a wooden box containing her grandmother’s hair.
Her age appears to be that of a young man, and there is nothing unusual about her hair other than that she looks scattered and worn out, but those eyes are-
“[ Lee, Gun. This scent – ah, it’s clear. It’s her. My love. Her hair and blood are here. Ah…… It’s fragrant. ]”
“It was you.”
Sensation as if the skin is freezing. A curse that makes you shudder. I relaxed my neck as I took out a piece of iron from the bank account.
After stalking her grandmother since around the Joseon Dynasty, a possessed body awakens with a curse that occurred in modern times.
Grandma Gaeddong said that if it is true that someone planned this, it is a curse that was planned so thoroughly and horribly.
In order to remove the curse placed on Gaeddong’s grandmother, you must approach the safe, but you must overcome Jigwi’s curse, which burns anyone related to the safe.
Jigwi is said to be an evil spirit of love and jealousy.
Gaeddong’s grandmother predicted that the possessed body, which continues its irrational obsession with her loved one, seems to be extending the object of its obsession to her grandmother’s bounty.
So, I was told that there was a high possibility of attacking the day I brought her hair, but I never thought they would attack Seo Yoon-seo first.
I was worried about the condition of Seo Yoon-seo, who is still in hiding. She pondered over the fact that in order to overcome the curse placed on Grandma Gaeddong, she must first save the safekeeper and deal with Jigwi.
Even if his whole body was on fire, he put strength into his hand holding the iron piece with the determination to cut off the hair, and an evil spirit, presumed to be a jigwi, responded.

＜ If you face the evil spirit directly and know its true name, the information about the evil spirit is reflected. ＞
[ A grade A possessed body born crazy in love. Jigwi ]

Ignoring the spear that appeared in my field of vision, I swung the cloth, rotated the sheath, and threw it straight to where Jigwi was.
Jigwi flees from his seat in an instant and his new form becomes blurred. I held the knife with the intention of countering it in any way.
Jigwi passed by me without attacking me or cursing me. It’s like ignoring a leaf flying down the street.
“[What are you? I heard…… Pfft! So, is that you? It’s you. Cluck cluck! It’s a pity! “You don’t even want to fight in the first place~]”
“???”
What are you talking about?
It was the first time. There have been many times when evil spirits have laughed at me or said strange things since I came to this world, but they never tried to fight me.
Evil spirits are beings whose instinct is to attack people when they are in front of them, regardless of whether the opponent is strong or not.
It is not a being that blatantly looks at people as if they are pitiful and laughs at them. That corpse snake also tried to kill me.
“[Ah- Plum blossom. Plum blossom. My love. I know your real name. Only I know. Your everything.
Ah, I’ll wait. I’ll wait. When you come If only you came here, we would all be perfect. …… Previously. I guess I’ll have to sort out these unholy things……. ]”

[Warning]
[ Plum blossom’s death is an essential element in the prepared story. It was fate for her to be killed by Jigwi. It is a destiny that should never change. ]
[ Please note that if you are involved in the story any further than this, we will have no choice but to impose the maximum penalty between closing store functions and using convenient functions. ]
[Any action beyond this is a violation of the contract. What the player wants will not be achieved. ]
—-
In that brief moment of confusion, the quest window chatters.
I thought what was being said was strange, but was this the purpose? I looked blankly into space and thought.
Closure of store functions. Yeah, it was quite a nuisance. If I don’t have a store in this world where I can purchase weapons, I’m bound to experience many inconveniences.
I don’t know what they’re ultimately aiming for by suddenly making such strong threats, and it’s none of my business.
“Ha-“
But what are you talking about? Fate? Destiny?
Really.
All the laughter came out.
“hahahaha!”
When I killed the pig, this quest window guy didn’t say the word fate.
“hahahahaha! Wow! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
Even when handling the red mask. Even when he killed Yeong-hyeong, he didn’t talk about fate.
Even when my friend was trampled to death like trash, he didn’t say anything. But now fate?
“Hey, it’s so f*cking scary. Yeah, it’s f*cking scary. “I’m so scared I don’t know what to do.”
Yes, they say it’s fate, but you should be so scared. I can’t achieve my purpose, I’m deprived of convenience, and it’s fate!
When I suddenly started laughing, even Tal and Jigwi, the scholars I rescued, looked at me as if they were crazy.
I don’t know if it was because of laughter or exasperation, but in any case, thanks to the adrenaline running wild in my head, I generously ignored their gaze.
And looking at Jigwi, I thought for a moment about how I would open my mouth if my younger brother provoked him, and then I said,
“Mr. “Did you say you know Grandma Maehwa’s real name?”
“[ -hehehehe. Then. Only I know. You crazy kid. ]”
“Oh my god, Maehwa’s real name is Gaedongi, so I’m not the only one who knows. “Whenever the old lady had time, she would come visit me and take off her clothes next to me, so I thought she was the only one who knew about me.”
“[ This…… This piece of trash!!!! ]”
From Noble mtl dot com
It really made me laugh.
If fate is that important and the story of this game is that important, you shouldn’t have chosen me.
Do you think I’m afraid of something like that and would avoid it? I smiled viciously and showed my teeth.
