156 – 25: I met a new spirit. Actually, it’s not completely new.
A gurgling sound was heard. The sound that proves that air and water are half mixed and the passage is half blocked extends through the sewer to the sink drain.
A house in the Gyeonggi-do area. If the gathering of students living alone near a university is a characteristic, this sound coming from one of the characteristic buildings was a sound that proved that there was a problem with the sewage system –
It was truly a daily sound for those who lived here, sadly. It was a sound that was heard quite often.
“Ah- it’s like this again. What on earth are you saying? Even though I called a repairman, he said there was nothing. “It’s really annoying.”
The woman who owned this room frowned.
The sound coming from the bathroom sink has been going on for a month now, and it was no different from the actual noise.
This sound, which was not heard when the water was turned on or when something was done, but was suddenly heard at will, eroded the spirit of a student who had just become an adult, exactly three months ago as of today.
If you haven’t done anything, you can at least convince yourself that it’s because you didn’t do anything.
Despite calling a repairman several times to deal with the noise, with no results, the woman felt like she was going crazy.
Even now, the water doesn’t turn off properly, so water keeps dripping and pooling in the shower.
“It’s like a damn house. Something new breaks down every time-“
The repair costs will break my spine.
The woman muttered as if she was sighing. She called a repairman several times to stop this obscene noise, but it was no use and she only ended up wasting money on travel expenses. Now the shower also needs to be changed.
This is a big expense for a college freshman living alone, so before calling a repairman, I searched the Internet and tried everything from baking soda to boiling water to tape, but the water wouldn’t stop and the sound wouldn’t go away.
There is no answer. The woman now pretended not to hear that sound, so she took the toothbrush she had in her mouth in her hand and brushed her teeth while simultaneously holding up her cleansing foam.
A day no different from usual. With Christmas over and New Year just around the corner, the woman quickly washed her face before meeting up with her friends.
There were about 3 hours left, but considering the time it took for women to decorate, it was an extremely tight time. That’s why the woman moved her hand quickly.
Grukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkuk! Do-
As if to disturb her, a louder and more horrifying sound than usual came from the hole in her sink.
“Ugh, what is it? I feel bad.”
It was too creepy a noise to be attributed simply to the difference in air pressure and air caused by foreign substances inside the pipe.
It may just be my mood, but now I can hear what sounds like a human voice. The woman recalled a story about evil spirits appearing in sewers and killing people.
In fact, places where water accumulates are places where evil spirits often appear due to the strong negative energy and the fear and ominousness of the space called the sewer.
However, such accidents only occur when people enter the sewer directly, and even that is rare.
As soon as it is confirmed that an evil spirit appears through the barrier that Plum Blossom personally created, an exorcist is dispatched and suppressed, so it is quite rare for something to rise up from the sewer and kill a person.
It’s just an urban legend, but unfortunately, this is a world where people die because of such urban legends.
“…… Should I call a shaman?”
The woman spit out toothpaste foam in her mouth as if shuddering at the ominous sensation surrounding her body and quickly tried to escape from the bathroom.
Her choice was the right one. Her answer was indeed correct: follow the human instinct for survival.
Just…… She was just so unlucky.
In this world, people lose their lives too easily due to lack of luck.
The moment the woman realized her fate was when she saw something about her rising from the water that had accumulated on her bathroom floor.
“[ Big…… Cook! I have a good feeling. ]”
“Huh?”
A human figure rose from the very shallow water collected from the shower.
A small body with white arms, like a corpse drained of blood. Long flowing blue hair. The face resembled that of Wooshin, the spirit served by Lee Jun, the most famous exorcist these days.
I am a woman who does not know much about the world of exorcism other than the very basic information taught in schools, etc., But I knew the face of the spirit that showed up when I was bored on the news and social media.
But the woman did not think that what appeared before her eyes was really the spirit Wushin.
One of the reasons was that she could not believe that a spirit had suddenly appeared in the woman’s room, but the biggest reason that made the woman think so was the face.
I’m not talking about strangely white skin or a fishy smell.
It’s laughter. It was that smile that convinced the woman that what was in front of her was not the divine spirit Wushin.
Until now, Wooshin’s face, which I have seen in photos and videos, has always been with a smile. He smiled brightly, like a being with the face of Wooshin suddenly appeared.
Although he smiled brightly, his laughter was not filled with endless malice and ridicule that made his hands and feet stiffen as soon as he saw him.
The bent eyes contained only disgust and hatred towards living beings, and the fangs visible at the corners of the gaping mouth showed the hostility that the being had.
You have to run away. Instead of continuing the thought, the woman’s survival instinct made her struggle to escape the bathroom.
Just one step to get out of the bathroom. Thanks to the woman moving without looking back, she was able to escape from the bathroom. The woman’s body could not achieve that one step.
“Uh…… ?”
The thing in the form of Ushin was not doing anything to the woman. The woman’s eyes slowly turned to her self holding on to her clothes.
It was her arm. A blue arm sprouting from the drain hole in the sink.
The arm was so swollen and bad that it was hard to tell how it came out of the drain hole, and there were a lot of air bubbles that had formed due to rot, and it was holding on to the woman’s clothes.
A clearly visible entity. It’s not an evil spirit. It smells so strong and disgusting that a woman has never smelled it before in her life. What on earth is this?
“[Gureuk, thatgeuk- eggplant, ma-do-a-ju-e-yeo-e-]”
“Huh? “Huh?”
Every day, the sound I hear from the drain comes from my arm. As the bubble burst and a gurgling sound was heard, the woman had no choice but to instinctively understand the origin of the sound she heard every day.
But that’s the end.
Then more hands reached out from her drain, and the woman’s body was dragged by her arms into a drain a little larger than a coin.
Kwadeuk Kwadeuk! Silence followed by an unpleasant sound. Other than a few drops of blood left in the sink, there are now no traces that the woman ever existed in this world.
The corpse snake in the form of Wooshin, or rather, the blue dragon, laughed at that scene, but suddenly lost its expression and focused its gaze on one place. Towards the outside door of the bathroom.
“The barrier that protects human facilities focuses on the occurrence and movement of evil spirits. This is truly wise. If an entire human body were kidnapped in this way, even exorcists would not be able to detect it.
And technically, the ‘things’ that pass through the sewers aren’t dead – my God, that’s really genius.”
“[ What, work? ]”
The voice that came out of the corpse snake’s mouth in front of a being who spoke to him in a complimentary tone were words so cold that even the air froze.
What is in those eyes is a hostility and hatred that is different from the arsenic shown before.
When a thunderbolt fell from the sky in the distance with spiritual power fluttering, the being who spoke while listening to the thunder, a skeletal man in a pitch black suit, chuckled.
“This is true. I can’t believe you treat me so coldly. Beings who are in the same boat and have the same goal are so cold. “Can’t you just be kind to me?”
“[Why am I, you, trying to touch the captain? ]”
“hahahahaha! You’re saying that when you’re essentially holding his hand because you want to get your hands on him? Ah – after all, love is pure madness that is more distorted than anything else!
She and you both become crazy about one person, which ultimately distorts the world like this!”
The Corpse Snake opened its eyes sharply at the words spoken by the skeleton man who shouted happily – or more accurately, the being who introduced himself as a nameless gentleman.
In fact, these two joined hands for their respective goals. The Corpse Snake only wants to get hold of a man. And the Skeleton Man is for the world she wants.
No matter what kind of mess the world turned into, or how many people died due to the being in front of me and something else joining forces, the Corpse Snake was not interested.
However, the Corpse Snake did not like the fact that in the process, a man named Lee Jun somehow became involved with that miserable clown.
The story about another ‘existence’ needed for the plan it was talking about was also extremely unpleasant for the corpse snake.
“[ That person is mine. ]”
“Of course. It’s yours. “When we wanted to walk the same path, that was the contract.”
“[ … …. ]”
The Corpse Snake sneered inwardly when she heard her man speak confidently.
The reasons for their birth are different, but what they have in common is that they were born out of human malice.
That’s why I have no choice but to know. They only use each other and do not keep their promises.
Evil spirits who claim to achieve what they want through transactions have rules to keep their promises, but in reality, they are beings who manipulate others through deception and lies.
The nature of things in this place is to curse, deceive, play around with, and tell lies to others.
And that being in front of the corpse snake is an extremely clever and excellent liar.
But it didn’t matter. No matter what they are planning, the only one who can get hold of the man who is going crazy because he wants to get hold of even a dragon and become a true dragon.
Thinking like that, the corpse snake put its toes in the shallow water without saying a word and disappeared.
Looking at the spot where the corpse snake disappeared, her man quietly raised the corner of her mouth and lifted her left arm, which had been hidden behind her back.
Then, a pure white bone with burnt marks appeared below the elbow.
“Really. Friend. You are a sinful man. But that sin gives birth to curse and hatred, so indeed you are a righteous being.
I didn’t know that she would refuse so stubbornly. “In the end, the essence is close to us, and just like a fish cannot escape from the water, fate is ultimately determined.”
The skeleton man spoke with confidence. That was because, as long as the woman was able to use her own domain, it proved that her essence was infinitely close to an evil spirit.
I am not talking about simple birth.
There is only one reason why famous exorcists and even the strongest in history, Maehwa, cannot use their unique domain, which can be said to be an extension of the barrier technique.
This is because it does not harbor such alien hatred and curses as to enforce its rules by destroying parts of the world within its territory.
No human being can hate the world to the point of denying it. Such a thing is impossible unless its very essence is negation and curse.
Although it seemed to be shaking slightly now-
“Everything we need is ready. It’s all about to begin, and the dice have already been rolled. Should I say that?”
The skeleton man laughed. She has no reason to hesitate about getting on the boat because the direction the boat, swaying in the wind, is the direction she wants to go.
But did the person who was quietly plotting all this really want this direction? Is the brush still in the hand of the being who tried to change the huge picture of fate as he pleases?
The skeleton man closed his eyes while thinking such trivial thoughts, and as soon as the lights in her room turned off, a being covered in a pitch-black cloth suddenly stood next to him.
The rims of his bright blue eyes had a look of displeasure, and his black, dry, mummy-like hands were scratching the wall and making a clicking sound.
That too for a moment. Everything disappeared like a ghost, and no sound was heard from the drain anymore, as if to suggest something.
