148 – 24: I had doubts
After both I and Seo Yoon-seo survived thanks to Gwi-tae’s help filled with pure goodwill(?).
I then tried to find the safekeeper with my still heavy body.
Jigwi has been dealt with, but the safe, which was the medium through which Gaetdong placed the curse on Grandma, is still intact.
A being who planned this behind the scenes. Quest window with high probability. Or did the guy who did this on the orders of the quest window plan it so that if only Jigwi was dealt with, everything would be solved?
…… Let’s see, this curse was a trap designed solely to kill Gaeddong’s grandmother.
Considering Gaeddong’s grandmother’s personality, her grandmother would have died after coming here, and then the future that Quest Chang wanted would have come true. So you may not need any more traps, but-
The quest window first asked me to investigate the curse placed on Grandma Gaeddong. I don’t know what the quest window is planning, so be sure to do it.
As I looked around to move quickly, a thought suddenly occurred to me, wondering what would have happened if Grandma Gaeddong had died because of this.
Originally, I would have been a bit curious and passed it on, but did he read my thoughts? A window appeared before my eyes as if this was the only time to do so.

＜ TIP: We praise the player for his performance. ＞
＜ TIP: The original fate has been changed due to the player’s actions. As a reward, the original story content is secretly delivered. ＞
＜ TIP: Original story. After Maehwa’s death, the sudden death of the exorcist who protects the country causes great confusion in the country. ＞
＜ TIP: The biggest problem that came with the death of the woman who had protected this country for hundreds of years was that the owner of the sacred object that protected this country disappeared. ＞
＜ TIP: Originally, there was a safe succession procedure. The A-class novelty [Chiljido] Ignores the succession process, saying that it has no intention of recognizing any owner other than Maehwa, which it has recognized as its owner for a long time. This country no longer has even minimal protection. ＞
＜ TIP: In such a situation, there are two options that the protagonist and his colleagues can make. Take a child who has a weak, but blood-related connection with Plum Blossom, and go through a special ‘process’ to make him a fetish that activates the Chiljido. ＞
＜ TIP: Or even if you are a class A exorcist, you have to pass the seven trials where death is almost certain. Just these two things. ＞
＜ TIP: Depending on the main character’s choices, the fate of this world will change again. For your reference, the name of the girl who will be used as a sacrifice instead of Plum Blossom, depending on your choice, is ‘Jia’.
You would have seen this if you had met and dealt with the Hong Kong grandmother. Did you? You did, right? ＞

Zia. My brain was particularly vulnerable to remembering things, but this time, strangely enough, the name and description reminded me of a kid with bald hair.
So…… He’s actually like a distant relative of Gadong’s grandmother.
The fetish called Chiljido is Gaedong, but her grandmother has made all preparations to hand it over in case of an emergency.
Actually, no one other than the fetishist wanted to acknowledge him as the owner, so he was in trouble, right?
Because of that, what is the minimum barrier to protect this country? The same thing disappeared and there was a lot of chaos?
This is what I understood, but there was only one thought that came to mind.
“Are all self-conscious A-class fetishes trash?”
No. Is it trash? I think it would be more correct to say, “It’s trash,” Rather than an interrogative statement.
I glanced at the tip window again. It is said to be secretly delivered. The answer to the future that would have happened if Grandma Gaedong died.
“… ….”
I scratched my chin for a moment, then deliberately turned my thoughts elsewhere.
It’s hard to believe the message that fate has escaped, so as I said, in order to ensure the safety of Gaeddong Grandma, you must find the safekeeper and break the safe.
But the problem is this. Would the vault keeper, who was worth less than Seo Yoon-seo in terms of the amount of spiritual power, survive in this fiery hell?
It was a situation where there was no answer because the safe could never be checked if the person died, but Seo Yoon-seo, who was wiping her rainbow from his face, said to me, putting those worries in vain.
“I overpowered that person and threw him in the corner. He wouldn’t have died. sh*t…… I can still taste it…….”
“?”
Seo Yoon-seo said that and told me the place where he had subdued the safekeeper, and when I got there, I found that the safekeeper had not only been restrained by his arms and legs, but had even taken out the safe.
The safe was even secured with space-locking castings that Gaetong received from her grandmother.
The time it took for the safekeeper to escape from the parking building and Seo Yoon-seo to enter her own territory was less than 5 minutes at best.
While you were injured by Jigwi, you defeated this guy by yourself and threatened that idiot into taking out the safe?
“I really shouldn’t retire.”
I’m not kidding, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more capable than him. He completed this task in less than 5 minutes and risked his life to make a special attack to create an opening.
Really, the person who should never quit for the sake of this country and its people is not Gaeddong Grandma, but this person.
To put it bluntly, this guy seems to be able to survive even if he is thrown into an ordeal that will inevitably lead to death that Chiljido has prepared for him.
I truly admired her and expressed respect for her abilities.
“Damn!! How dare you say something like that! Do you not have a human heart?! The enemy of my retirement!”
She was so angry that she slammed her fist into my abdomen, but the girl’s fist, which did not even contain her spiritual power, could not pierce the abdominal muscles of this abnormally strong body.
Seo Yoon-seo grabbed her fist and rolled on the floor after hitting her in the stomach. Not only is her ability outstanding, but her sense of humor is also outstanding.
If my younger brother had seen her, he would have been impressed by her perfect talent.

Afterwards, cleaning up was simple. I destroyed the safe with a hammer, and the safekeeper handed it over to the main character, who returned shortly after.
The mission is over. Among them, the safekeeper sighed and said in a strangely calm tone.
“If you betray faith and trust, you have to pay the price. I don’t know how it will come about or whether it will really work. I will curse you in any way we can.
If one day you die due to a curse, that curse will definitely contain ‘our’ curse.”
“Hey, you still want to say that I saved you?”
“Because that is that and this is this.”
“As expected, criminals have no conscience.”
Or he’s just pure crazy. Immediately after I left, the memory of the crazy man glaring at me coldly from under his mask, telling me that a bounty of 1 billion was placed on me in the back world, was blown away.
Gwi-tae then quietly left the place, still looking like a weirdo in a T-shirt. She had an urge to ask why she had come to help me, but she didn’t have time to ask.
As if he were representing me, he handed me another phone number and told me to call him anytime, but he said it was his real number, so if I had anything to ask later, I could call him then.
I feel a little weird getting my number from a child who isn’t even an adult yet, but it’s not that important, so I’ll pass on it.
The request was completed, and the protagonists succeeded in subduing and calming the civilians.
The proud news that while the civilians were going crazy and killing each other as if they were possessed by something, our little boy made the biggest contribution [Physically stunning him] With his bare fists.
There are some uneasy feelings about the mixed testimony of the main character, the tree, and a skeleton man appearing at the scene, but for now, the case has been neatly concluded.
So what should we do now?
What is it? I need to get paid.
I supported Wooshin’s butt hanging on my back with one hand, and with the other hand, Gaedong placed her grandmother in front of me and curled her index finger and thumb in a circle.
“I finished the work, so please give me the promised compensation.”
“Okay. What do you want? You saved my life, I’ll do whatever I can! Money?! Is it money?! I’ve prepared roughly 2 billion won, but I’ll prepare more if necessary!
Ha! After all, life requires alcohol! “I regret not being able to take a sip of alcohol while I was passed out!”
As if the last time I saw him weakened was in vain, he gulped down his drink and welcomed alcohol and drunkenness like his own lover.
Seeing this, Nokra silently takes out a razor next to him and seems to be testing whether that person can drink even if his stomach is cut out.
I pretended not to see that and opened my mouth.
“You know I didn’t do this to get money. No. “Considering all the hard work you’ve done this time, I think I should get some money.”
“Kkakat! Okay! Tell me whatever price you want! “After all, the government took out some money to hire you to save me!”
Now that I was fine, Grandma Gaeddong was so patriotic and said that she even shook off the hair from her nose when she refused to give me money. She smiled as if she was telling a story and handed me an envelope of documents.
I slightly opened the envelope and took out the paper in front, and there it was written, ‘[Confidential] Ghost-level evil spirit corpse snake trend and spiritual power tracking report.’
When I first accepted this request, Noklao noticed that I was concerned about corpse snakes, so it was fortunate that he prepared in advance in this way, as it allowed me to obtain information quickly.
But since this alone is not enough to compensate for the trouble I went through this time, I decided to ask for something else in addition.
“I suffered so much this time when my entire body burned out. This doesn’t work. “Please do me one more favor.”
“What?”
“Please take care of the formalities for our little boy to attend the academy.”
“Big, boss?”

Wooshin, who was hanging on his back, seemed very surprised by my words and shook while holding the hem of his clothes, and Gaeddong’s grandmother looked a little surprised.
“…… That would be good for us……. “Why did you suddenly change your mind after cherishing that spirit like a treasure?”
“No matter how much I think about it, I think my child needs to go to a place like school to develop social skills. Well, if anything happens, it will be easy for you to contact me.”
Grandma Gaeddong gently raised one of her eyebrows at the last words I uttered, then lowered them.
I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but he seemed to clearly understand what I wanted.
Wooshin and Cheongryong are sent to the academy. This is something I had thought about before, but the reason I decided to do it was because of the quest window.
Corpse snakes are annoying, but you never know what the quest window chick might do.
…… No, no. This is an excuse. Actually, he’s not scary at all.
Just because of this incident, I realized for the third time that I am a being that never existed in this world, and that I came to this world to die and return to the original world.
Well, now that I’ve realized this again, it doesn’t mean I’m going to distance myself from my little boy.
Would you leave a child who can’t even use chopsticks alone because he’s crazy? Even if you go to the academy, I will pick you up every day after school and keep a light in your eyes to prevent the protagonist from doing anything strange.
It is common for people to experience losing someone close to them in their lives. So, if you’re going to regret it, just do your best.
And the best part is having the child attend a school where he or she can live like a human being.
In addition, while Woo-shin and Cheong-ryong were attending school, I had to trouble the broker to find a way to undo the seal on the black notebook I picked up at the site of Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital.
Thinking like that. Wooshin said hurriedly as he climbed up my back like a cockroach and onto my shoulder.
“Great, Captain, if I did something wrong, I will fix it! I don’t want to be separated from that captain…… !”
“Who will fall forever? I go to school in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon. They live like normal kids. “Dude, you’re so smart, you should learn something at an academy or something.”
“Huiiiiing~!”
“Uh huh. No.”
By biting my cheek with his teeth, Wooshin expressed dissatisfaction and anxiety that I had never seen before, but this is usually the reaction of a child going to kindergarten or school for the first time.
Wasn’t my younger brother like that too? When I was young, when I first went to school, I was scared and clung to it.
I think I did the same thing, but-.
“- Good. Well then, we need to prepare things like school uniforms, so let’s get them ready. We will take care of all the document procedures. “Should I give my status as a human being to your daughter?”
“Then you become Lee Woo-shin?”
It’s a name like an umbrella. I laughed, and Grandma Gaeddong said that if she were a widower at that age, it would be difficult to find the government support she could receive. She laughed along.
At that, Nokra smiled grimly as if she had decided that she would definitely kill her grandmother, but that only lasted for a moment. Grandma Gaeddong said with a serious expression on her face.
“Good. Then I will prepare everything you want. I sincerely thank you for saving me. You are the savior of my life. Next time, if you need anything else, I’ll help you personally. “I’m using everything I can.”
“I feel bad because it feels like fraud to receive compensation beyond what I received.”
“hahahaha! Is it! I see! “That’s how the world should live!”
In my life, anything that gave me a strangely large amount of money or gave me strangely generous compensation was all about fraud or messing around with people.
A lady in the neighborhood said she had leftover side dishes, but she didn’t prepare the food, and when a rich and powerful person says something like that, it’s a bit hard to classify it as a good thing, right?
I comforted Wooshin, who was swallowing his nose and crying because he didn’t want to go to school. [Seeing that Blueryong is still, I guess he’s not that scared of going to school?]
Grandma Gaeddong praised him, saying that it was a good thing to be so cautious, but she made a slightly bitter expression on her face.
“…… But… This is just something I’m curious about. There is one thing I would like to ask. At first I thought you were just a nuisance and not related to the Academy or anything else.
That’s not strange. This can be happen. But…… If you look at it that way, it’s strange that you’re helping me.
I’m not saying you’re the type of person who lets people die. Rather, you are a good person. But my existence holds so much meaning that you, who saved me, will also be bothered. You know it too.
Then wouldn’t it be better to hold the Yin-Yang and Five Elements in one’s hands as I suggested? Or, you can comfortably receive protection at the academy.
Actually, anyone with the level of skill you have now will be able to see what you think and try to please you the way you want…… “Your face still looks like you have no intention of ever having anything to do with this?”
Gaedong Her grandmother asked as if she was genuinely curious rather than trying to argue.
Her grandmother was certainly right. With my current skills, it might be better to go anywhere.
With just three people, I defeated a ghost-level possessed body that is stronger than a national disaster-level A-class possessed body, so who would dare touch me?
If you live while receiving a salary, you will be able to receive more money than what you receive from the quest window after catching the evil spirit.
But I don’t like it. The reason is because it’s actually what the quest window bastard wants, not one.
Rather, this is an additional reason, and there is a bigger reason.
“- A friend of mine died a long time ago. A good guy who gives a hand to a child who wouldn’t be surprised if he dies right away on the street, feeds him, and has a mother who doesn’t have much money and takes care of him.
Some f*cking spirit killed her, and there was nothing they could do about the funeral without her body found. They say he died from the spirit of Sipal and could not even invite mourners.
I don’t have time to think about anything, it sucks, it sucks. People from the academy and the exorcism office came and said this. Don’t even think about going somewhere and talking about this.
My son’s body was not there, but instead of making a fuss, he came in at a funeral where he couldn’t call any of his relatives.
It was sh*t. Sincerely. I understand that those people are busy and that the gods are doing something, but I couldn’t understand their emotions?
So I killed that spirit guy. I hate everything, whether it’s the academy or the exorcism office. If you tell me to act rationally and act like an adult, I have nothing to say. I really f*cking hated it. “Those suit guys.”
Those people may be working or something, but how can human emotions understand all that?
I’ve never honestly told Gaeddong’s grandmother all this, but since she asked me such a serious question, she gave me the answer, so don’t think too much about it.
Gaeddong Her grandmother paused at my words for a moment, then lowered her head. An unreadable emotion flashed in her red eyes.
“I see. I see Then it’s only natural. Understood. …… And I’m sorry. “I couldn’t manage their viciousness.”
“Uh-well, that’s okay. “It happened in the past anyway.”
I was a little puzzled even as Gaeddong received her grandmother’s apology. Is it true that Gadong’s grandmother is apologizing?
Well, I know that her grandmother managed to make an exorcism and take care of the dog poop. But that also happened during the enlightenment period, and I know that after that, they all said that exorcists fighting in the field should not hold power.
Gaeddong said that the reason her grandmother destroyed the exorcism office this time was because their viciousness was so severe that not only was her justification enough, but she also used her grandmother’s name to carry her gun.
It’s not that her grandmother had anything to do with it, but didn’t she say that the pig who directly f*cked me is dead and all the idiots who put him in his place were shut up and thrown in jail without even an apology?
After all, being powerful and famous is not a good thing. Responsibility is also true.
“…… Sigh. Thank you for saying that. I received such kindness, but it would be shameful to just let it go. How do you feel? “I will leave the door open at night, so will you come visit me?”
As Grandma Gaedongi said that, she took out her gummy stick from somewhere and put it in her mouth. At the same time, she even gently loosened the pus on the hanbok she was wearing properly.
Okay, let’s pretend I didn’t see it. I pulled Wooshin forward, who was lightly biting my cheek, and then blindfolded him and told him to send the money to my account.
After her grandmother woke up from her hospital bed, she became more reserved. I decided to forget what I saw today and left the room in a hurry, and the dog-dong grandmother behind me couldn’t hear what she said.
“…… When I was young, courtesans would say things like this to seduce men. After all, I can’t do this with this body… ….”
As she said that, she didn’t see Grandma Gaedongi’s face blushing and looking visibly sour. Yeah, she didn’t see it.
A person may wake up sick and not be in their right mind. If you’re going to mess up your work in the future, may I recommend that you hand it all over to Seo Yoon-seo? I swallowed my nose.
