145 – 23: I felt disgusted when I saw the stalker.
Gwitae appeared at that place for an insignificant reason.
Gwitae, who heard the news that the plum blossom had fallen due to a curse, investigated the incident on his own and arrived at this place.
Someone took Guitae’s plan to defeat Maehwa and used it. Of course, Guitae was curious and wanted to find out who did that.
Imaimangryang’s things have no interest in the human world. Guitae has never told anyone about his plans.
Then why did the plum blossom fall? Or, more precisely, ‘who’ ignited the explosive hidden behind closed doors on his behalf? Remains a question.
There is a curse that burns and kills anyone associated with the safe, just as it protects the safe. Or even evil spirits.
What is the ‘something’ that knows more about the safe than Guitae?
Is it an evil spirit? Is it a person? Would its existence be helpful to you or not? Guitae thought with a cold face.
What should Gwitae say now? He was a little late, but in his confusion of self-identity he had no intention of carrying out his plan to attack the world’s greatest exorcist.
It is true that she is reluctant to kill people because she has now felt a sense of guilt or guilt.
Although she hated the world with emotional rage, she is a girl who can be rational and cool-headed for her goals. That’s why she was frowning at her discomfort, which Guitae couldn’t understand right now.
Throughout her life, Gwitae has only thought about one thing. She said she would curse the world and burn it. She summons hell on earth where humans and evil spirits kill and kill each other on equal footing.
The revenge and curse on the world that welcomed the girl who managed to climb out of the darkness will never change.
Now that she has forgiven the world, it’s not like she wants to quit everything. Only…… She just realized that she wasn’t the monster she thought she was.
I don’t know what kind of thoughts this realization will lead to.
She had been running with only one goal in mind, but now she had an opportunity to stop for a moment. Guitae now noticed one strange feeling.
As she looked back on her entire life so far, including the fact that the number she had prepared to defeat Maehwa was taken away by someone, Guitae suddenly thought.
Her life was truly a life worthy of being called a tragedy. Are you truly trying to curse the world and destroy it simply because of bad luck for a day or two?
Yes, it is possible. Aren’t humans inherently like that? A creature that goes crazy after a few unlucky days and curses the world to be destroyed, but if it has a lucky day again, it forgets everything.
But there had never been any truly minor luck or happy memories in her life.
It could be a cause and effect that occurred due to the curse she had due to her birth. Or maybe she’s just unlucky.
From Noble mtl dot com
Someone planned her life behind her back. It may be just a matter of mood or a delusion of grandeur. No, in fact, it is more likely.
But-
Guitae doesn’t know how she was born. From the moment she recognized herself, the girl was in her pitch-black basement.
The only time I saw the human faces of my parents in the light was when I escaped from the basement.
Since then, she killed the human presumed to be the mother, so she couldn’t figure out why the woman gave birth to her or why she didn’t just kill the child of a demon or something.
The body of the person who would be called Gwi-tae’s mother was eaten by evil spirits without even leaving a body, and the house where Gwi-tae remained was completely burned down.
Since then, she has burned down her house, killed those who stand in her way, and has never looked back on her actions as she has hurt others.
There was no time, reason, or situation for that. It would have been the same if she hadn’t met Lee Joon.
Her well-honed curse and hatred would have endlessly directed her noble nature forward and kept her running until the moment of her death.
Guitae doesn’t know what to call her current state.
But one thing is certain: if her life had continued as before, she would definitely have wanted to kill Maehwa.
And this time, he must have taken advantage of the people who burned to death, thinking it was an unintended good fortune.
Because of her minor realization, her behavior pattern changed, and she encountered an abnormal phenomenon.
It is most reasonable to think that there is someone other than her who targeted her plum blossoms and saw the same thing, or an evil spirit –
The problem is that Guitae has suddenly felt it. Was her life and her choices really purely her own?
She grew up and lived in a world of pitch-black malice, but the moment she hesitated, an unknown being moved around her as if to correct her mistakes.
This didn’t confirm her suspicions that someone had been manipulating her life, but it was enough to make her suspicious.
Therefore, for the first time, Guitae investigated her own past and birth.
She guessed when she was born, and searched through her memories to find her mother’s house, which had already been reduced to ashes.
And what I found – nothing. She knew that there was no way a person like Guitae would have had his birth registered.
But why is there no information about her mother who gave birth to her? The moment Gwi-tae left her underground and came out onto the ground, she killed her mother for the first time in her life with as many curses as she could muster.
A ruin that is impossible to build a home for people to live in due to a strong curse.
It was possible to tell from the traces that there had been a major accident in the abandoned land left on the outskirts of the city. Even the common moss wasn’t blooming, and only a gloomy energy hung over the place.
The traces of her curse still remain, more than 10 years later, showing that this is the hell she escaped from.
It is unlikely that anything will come out even if you conduct your own investigation. Other than her own curse, there were no traces left or anything noticeable. Just like abandoned houses usually do.
However, it was not that there was no income at all. The name of a person who lived on this land. So, along with the name of her mother, there was information that made it clear that there was something about that woman.
“–There’s nothing strange about it.”
It’s good to know that her own mother was a researcher who did research related to psychic abilities.
However, the mother did not leave any records for a long time after she was selected as one of the researchers investigating the cause of the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital together with a university and an exorcism office in the late 1990s.
2005. After recording that he bought this house, he disappeared again.
Considering Gwi-tae’s age, it appears that she purchased this house when she was just pregnant, but she was listed as missing between the late 1990s and 2005 and was murdered by Gwi-tae.
What did you do in the meantime? And he happened to have a being called Gwitae in his body, and there is no record of where he was born. It was as if he had evaporated from the world.
Discomfort comes from doubt. Was his life really being played by something?
A situation where the answer is unknown and no significant breakthrough can be found.
In such a situation, the place where Gwi-tae’s steps were headed was none other than where Lee Jun was.
I don’t know the reason. Her feet moved without any logic.
Lee Jun is moving to lift the curse on Maehwa, and approaching him like that is not a good choice for him or himself.
That’s why Gwitae saw him from afar and planned to walk away, even if just for a moment. He became troubled by the series of unexpected sights.
The commotion in the city occurred simultaneously with the appearance of an evil spirit that appeared to be nothing but the equivalent of the Red Mask, which Lee Jun and Gwi-tae joined forces to take down.
At first glance, the scene of people attacking each other and going wild seemed like the commotion of drunken people, but a strange curse suddenly spread in broad daylight, possessing even the police and low-level exorcists.
At the same time, the cursing and disturbance seemed to have been calculated, taking place close to the area of influence of the fight, but in a location outside of where Lee Jun could notice.
Ghost-level evil spirits are running rampant. The main character she chose, the spirit tree, and the Vatican idiot first chose to move to protect those who were unable to evacuate due to an unpleasant curse that drove civilians crazy.
Considering Lee Jun’s skills, it was a reasonable choice. In that case, he can endure alone until the sudden situation is resolved.
No, it may be dangerous considering the difference in compatibility, but this was still no reason for Guitae to move.
But, funny enough, the reason she moved was because of something he said to provoke her.
I don’t know if it’s true, and it seems like the purpose is to provoke an evil spirit called Jigwi.
The moment she hears those words, her face heats up, her jaw automatically tightens, her teeth grind, and tears come to her eyes.
Guitae appeared in front of Lee Jun, feeling something black bubbling and boiling in his chest, similar to the feeling he felt when cursing someone, but also an unfamiliar sensation.
Seeing him with a surprised face, Guitae expressed his indescribable feelings in words as best as he could.
“Plum and…… Fairly…… “It seems like you were very close.”
Of course, this is not something to say in front of an evil spirit that is presumed to be a ghost.
But the only thing that came to mind was these words. These words clearly indicated that his provocation was the cause of this feeling that even she was not aware of – but doesn’t that seem strange?
Seeing Lee Jun making an absurd face, Gwitae unconsciously covered his face.
First of all…… Since you showed your face like this…… Let’s secure at least that evil spirit.
If you think about it, the evil spirit whose identity was awakened by an unknown being is the only being touched by ‘something’ whose identity is unknown to her.
Yes, I came here aiming for that. I didn’t come here to see Lee Joon. What I just said was just a mistake.
This is why I hate this man. Keep going, because he keeps feeling weird about himself. He doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like it.
Now my thoughts are strangely twisted. Gwi-tae covered his face, which was hot despite the intense heat.
****
Sudden cooperation between Gwitae. I felt a little psychological relief from that.
The victory he achieved when he faced Red Mask before was clearly a victory because he had a noble spirit, and although the evil spirit that appeared this time was also a ghost grade, the victory was definitely there.
Everything the spark touches catches fire, and the flames emitted by Jigwi give the illusion of hot rebar flying from all directions.
Guitae rolled her eyes lightly as she saw sparks flying from all directions, and waved her finger, and at the same time, a red mask popped out from under her feet.
“[ I, Naaa- I, I, I, am I pretty? ]”
“[ Plum blossom! Plum blossom! Ah! Nothing in this world except her!! Not worth it!! ]”
“Does that mean it’s ugly?”
At the same time, the red mask, which had cracks all over its body, made a ferocious sound and opened its torn mouth beyond the blood-soaked mask.
At the same time, the pillars of fire flying from all directions are cut off by something about her and fall, and invisible blades of curses rain down on Jigwi in the air.
Jigwi is hit by the curse of the red mask and is pushed backwards into one of the burning buildings. And in an instant, the building was split vertically in two.
…… I’ve seen all sorts of things since I came to this world, but I can’t get used to something like this.
The sight of strange shadows writhing in hot, bright flames, evil spirits popping out, and being shot at Jigwi like missiles was mysterious, but it was unclear whether it should be described as a superb view.
“Tch. As expected, the level is high, so even if you meet the conditions, you won’t die right away.”
“How did we kill that thing, really?”
I spoke with disgust and admiration. Fortunately, it seemed like everyone had been evacuated from the building where the chimney flew.
…… No, more than that, while things are going like this, why can’t the main character, the tree, and the saintess that were nearby be seen?
As I was wondering, in the distance, a huge wooden pillar, presumed to have been made by trees, rose from the ground and created a wall, as if to isolate the street where I was.
It was to prove that they weren’t dancing and having fun anywhere, but why aren’t they coming here to help? There was no answer to this.
“- Right now, a strange curse has suddenly spread outside that street and people are killing each other.”
“It means that support cannot come here.”
I heard it’s true that the quest window bastard is making things up.
“What happened? I thought to myself that it would be difficult to get help if they saw how upset I was. Still, if we had you, we would win.”
That’s right. Jigwi and I’s compatibility was the worst. If you run without thinking, it’s obvious that you’ll burn to death before you even get close, but if Guitae is with you, the story is different.
Her strength is quantity, and quantity becomes a wall in front of that fire. If Gwitae were alone, he wouldn’t have had enough room to attack Jigwi again, but I can be that one shot.
To put it simply, if Guitae and I join forces, we can defeat that ball of fire.
Guitae touched her lips for a moment at my words and then nodded her head. She took that as a cue and ran forward, ignoring the wall of flames in front of her.
In response to my attack, Jigwi spewed out flames from both her hands, and heat radiated out along with a haze.
I ran forward and easily dodged it, but suddenly a huge chunk of concrete was falling, burning like lava, with a shadow above my head.
The heat ray fired by Jigwi was pulling the burning building from behind and throwing it at me.
“Si-“
At the sight that made me curse, I tried to find a way out by exploding dynamite, but before I could, the huge wall of evil spirits created by Guitae stopped the building from collapsing.
I succeeded in approaching Jigwi while hearing the crashing sound overhead.
I tried to cut off the guy’s head while holding two iron pieces, one in the shape of a dagger and the other in the shape of a long sword, in both hands, but the fire emanating from the whole body hindered the attack.
Damn it. There is too much resistance. I gritted my teeth and swung the knife.
“[ This guy- Wow!! ]”
Jigwi, whose skin literally withstands the burning heat, screams after being hit by a swinging knife. One of his arms and legs were blown off, but he fell back with his remaining arm, spraying flames on the floor again.
It was clear that he had some pretty terrible burns on his neck and chest. This body is so strong that breathing is not a big problem. The burns on my neck and chest were bearable.
“But aren’t burns on the chest and neck usually classified as very serious burns? “Why aren’t you fine?”
“How should I know? “When I was young, I was caught by a strange pervert and had half of my head cut off with a rope saw. I realized the ability to heal through spiritual power, so even if my head was blown off, I was the one who survived as long as I was conscious.”
“…… ?”
I was astonished by Guitae’s words. Unlike me, who was almost stabbed by strange drug dealers and thrown into a strange shredder, doesn’t this mean that he actually almost died by having his head cut off?
Guitae continued to throw out his low-level demons around the red mask, preventing the injured Jigwi from healing his wounds.
The curse of the red mask is a powerful curse that, when answered, rips open the mouth and kills the person without answering questions. However, since it is a ghost-level evil spirit, it did not seem to work properly.
No, that’s not it. Is it because the body of the red mask is unable to use its original output?
The cracked red mask created a pair of cursed scissors, and each time it cut down Jigwi’s flame, the cracks on its body grew in size and it stumbled.
It is an evil spirit that was taken over by Gwitae but tried to kill us by burning its original existence. It’s rather surprising that Gwi-tae uses that.
It looks like he is recovering again by eating down the low-level demons, but the gap where the red mask hesitates to recover was an easy gap for Jigwi to target.
In fact, Jigwi, who was now shedding bloody tears, was glaring at Gwitae with her red eyes glaring as the red mask’s attack subsided for a moment.
I was the one who caused the injury that caused my limbs to fly off, but it was clear that Jigwi knew right away who he needed to deal with in order to kill me right away.
“Hmm.”
The most reasonable tactic is…… I’m going to draw Jigwi’s attention to me, keep Gwitae in check, and when I get the chance again, I’m going to cut off her head, right?
Jigwi eventually became stronger to the level of a ghost after provocation, but it will be difficult for the enemy to win if he does not create an opening through such provocations.
Isn’t this a much better strategy than I thought? Has your IQ increased since coming into this world?
I opened my mouth with a grin, avoiding the pillar of fire that was shooting out as it broke the concrete floor.
“When it’s this hot, one thing comes to mind! Last time it was really hot in the summer! An old man forced me to come along on vacation and took off his clothes in front of me!
I’m lying in bed and I can see everything! It was hard to pretend not to know what I was thinking! Hey tell me what I saw- Holy crap!”
As she was shouting about random things to provoke Jigwi, a train fell on her head.
When I was in middle school, I succeeded in memorizing hiragana and katakana, but I noticed that the train had ‘bound for Kisaragi’ written on it.
That train was not just a train, it was made with a curse.
Inside the train, strange monsters that look like monkeys are looking at me, holding vicious weapons that I don’t know if they are drills or something else.
I don’t care if it’s a Japanese train or not, but the problem is that it’s an evil spirit that Gwi-tae is dealing with. I shouted, trembling on the hot asphalt floor.
“Why are you suddenly throwing a train over a person’s head?”
“Wouldn’t you be angry if you said something like that during a fight?!”
“Even if you see a 10-year-old kid doing a back tumble, he’s trying to protect you by aggro!!”
“Thank you so much!”
“If you thank me twice, I’ll be behind you!”
In a situation where you could be running around at any moment, the kid next to you suddenly does something strange.
The only one who does this is my little brother. If it were her younger brother, I would have called her an idiot and slapped her.
Gwi-tae is embarrassed that a guy who doesn’t usually do things like this is doing this.
You said earlier that people suddenly went crazy in the city center. Did they fall under that curse?
In the midst of the battle, seeing Gwi with tears in his eyes and as if he didn’t know why he was acting like this, I quickly checked Jigwi’s condition with the thought that this was wrong.
Jigwi, who I thought would immediately burst into anger and try to burn the world down, was surprisingly calm.
Her distorted, ghost-like face looked peaceful.
Although half of his face is on fire and the skin on his face is distorted in an ugly way, he is so peaceful that you don’t think he looked like a guy who was swept away by a torrent of emotions just a moment ago.
Why is that guy so calm…… ? The moment I slightly tilted my head and looked puzzled. Jigwi said calmly.
“[ Yes. Understood. The reason the plum blossoms didn’t come to me was because of your presence. A scumbag who defiles the plum blossoms and then makes fun of other women. If it weren’t for you, we would definitely be able to get together. So – I will kill you. ]”
Regardless of the content of the words full of grandiose delusions, the guy’s mood changed with that declaration.
My instincts tell me that I must kill it immediately. I ignored my body burning up and ran in a straight line.
Gwitae seemed to feel the same way as me, and he climbed on top of Jangsanbeom and raised his spiritual power.
“Destruction of magic-“
“- Hmm!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Gwitae’s words intersect with the sound of me swallowing my breath, just before the metal piece touches Jigwi’s neck. Jigwi’s hands came together just before our attack touched him.
He held his left hand tightly and pointed it downward, and placed his right hand in front of his eyes, forming a strange seal. And a small sound came from Jigwi’s mouth.
“[ Unique area development. ]”
“- The evil spirit uses its own territory as a magic trick…… ?!”
Gwitae swallowed up the air and sound as if screaming. After a sound like the muttering of a jigwi, the world changed drastically.
What you can see in front of you is the only thing that has not been engulfed in flames: two wooden coffins placed on firewood. Everything else is burning.
There are three huge fireballs floating in the sky. The strange landscape where the earth and sky were all on fire and only the unpleasant smell of burning human skin was wafted out seemed to be Jigwi’s unique domain.
I think it’s such a dirty landscape. Among them, Jigwi spread her hands wide and shouted.
“[This is the final place where she and I will meet! Although it is a place prepared for her cremation – I will kill you for bewitching her and tricking her! The contract doesn’t matter. I don’t know. It’s none of my business!
You become one of these countless firewood and die for my love. Ah, if you beg for my life, they might let you run away? If you plan on dying like this- ]”
As Jigwi continues to speak, a blue flame burns her arm. Her arms lit up in an instant without any warning, causing her to drop her iron as her muscles clenched along with her clothes.
…… Even if it is not directly hit by a flame, as long as it is inside, it is already in a state no better than cotton soaked in oil?
—-
[ ]
—-
Jigwi is laughing at me with an evil smile. And the quest window as if she didn’t know what to say.
When I saw that, I lifted her burned arm with great effort and then pointed out my middle finger and said,
“But Gaeddong Grandma is not yours. “Her delusions are a bit extreme.”
If her only life was to die, she wouldn’t be here. I laughed at Jigwi and rushed back to her station.
