53 – 09: I met a strange person again today.
“The evil spirit that attacked exorcist Lee Jun was first seen in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do in 1982.”
“The Exorcism Office officially named her Hong Kong Grandmother. It was confirmed to be an evil spirit born after the BFR 200 plane crash that occurred at the time.”
“Aiming only at children before they become adults. It’s quick. Other than that, there are no other characteristics.”
“A total of 174 children were killed at the time. Even if you don’t like it, you can’t help but know how dangerous it is to simply be fast, so it was officially designated grade A by the Exorcism Agency.”
“At that time, the children were too scared to go to school, but in the fall of that year, Grandma Hong Kong, a Class A demon, suddenly disappeared.”

“What…… This is roughly what I confirmed. After further investigation, I heard that something really dirty was involved. “I heard that Bibangsa was planning this – isn’t the meat too undercooked?”
“Don’t you know Tataki?”
Who cooks all the beef? As long as the outside is cooked, you can eat it.
As I hungrily ate the meat, I occasionally handed it to Wooshin to eat. I glanced over to see how much I had eaten so far.
I ordered only the most expensive beef, but there were 3 towers on the plate. I checked the menu once and calculated roughly. If you were a normal salaried worker, it was worth the price of fainting.
I guess this was a bit too much…… ? I noticed it a bit while chewing the meat.
A man named Park Chun-sik, who told me that I didn’t overcook the food, was also making a Pisa plate tower next to his seat.
“You said you were using company money, right?”
“Yes. So let’s use more. “The opportunity to rip off those damn old men doesn’t come easily.”
If you say so, there is no need to decline.
“Here for 3 people…… No, 6 more servings.”
“Yeah~”
When I ordered more, the store employee smiled and took my order.
At first, there was a spirit with horns sprouting from his head and an exorcist in pitch black clothing. And it was a waiter whose face hardened at the combination of the little boy with a hole in his shoulder.
We ordered more than 30 servings of beef, and from then on, he served us in a kinder and softer voice than I have ever seen in my life.
It is said to be the most expensive high-end restaurant in town and even has private rooms, so we are probably the only people in such a restaurant who build a tower of meat dishes.
When I saw Wooshin’s mouth covered in oil while he was patting his stomach to say he was full, I was disgusted and wiped his mouth.
At the same time, I secretly looked at the man.
The man really fed me meat. He did not appear to be doing anything suspicious while grilling meat or having his employees do anything strange.
From the beginning, I thought that Wooshin next to me would not be able to do strange things easily since he was a god.
When I see someone cursing their company and thinking of swiping their credit card saying f*ck it, I think it’s stupid to be so cautious.
But aren’t people naturally creatures who smile on the outside but think about stabbing themselves with a knife on the inside?
I don’t threaten to harm myself by calling on evil spirits like the person I met last time at the exorcism office.
Nowadays, the perception of the exorcism office is so bad that you can think that he is better just because he doesn’t fight for no reason.
When you see a man smiling and saying that they are getting along well, doesn’t that automatically mean that he is a trustworthy person? A thought appeared in the back of my mind.
If his purpose was to drag me into the exorcism office, then it was clear that my memory of him being the only person working properly at the exorcism office was correct.
But for me, that type was rather annoying.
If you’re trying to make a deal with someone by talking to them, you’re better off than someone who strains their neck and yells at you.
It is certain that a person who has a sense of purpose and can suit the mood is competent.
The Exorcism Office wants something from me, so I am laughing and saying that we should just be nice to each other, but the organization itself is now under suspicion.
The people who started with self-harm blackmail and joined hands with Red Mask to kill not only me but also civilians may be one of them.
I think I might have just made an excuse and came to eat grilled meat because I was tired of ordering from above.
No matter what, there is no way that information like that would be handed over to me for free as the exorcism office is paying attention to it.
Scout is an excuse, and he probably approached me like this because he wanted something.
What do you want? As of now, it looks like he’s been watching me, so I think he might be asking for a request in exchange for information.
After organizing my thoughts up to that point, I put the last words Park Chun-sik said into his head and put into his mouth the questions I had.
“If non-radiation is related to the birth of an evil spirit, then how much more dangerous is that evil spirit?”
“Hmm. Normally, if a non-bangsa is involved, you have to be careful because you don’t know what kind of curse it may contain, but the Hong Kong grandmother was exorcised but couldn’t do it, and since she is an evil spirit whose rules and abilities have all been revealed, there is nothing to say that it is especially dangerous.”
“According to the investigation, the evil spirit called Grandma Hong Kong is an evil spirit born after the curse of Bibangsa, who did strange things at the time, failed-“
“If you are the exorcist Lee Joon, who even defeated the Red Mask, who wielded spiritual power and power that surpassed even A grade, there will be no problem.”
“Then that’s enough.”
I nodded at him, thinking that everything he said was true as far as he knew.
There is no reason for someone who is cooperative with me to pass on false information.
If all of this information is false and a contract is sent to me like before, it will be revealed that the people who are targeting the lady and trying to kill me are the Exorcism Agency.
I have already prepared to attack state officials with bombs.
Or a walking nuclear bomb next to me. You can ask Wooshin to take care of all the bastards belonging to the Exorcism Agency by getting struck by lightning.
It is said that networking is something that is meant to be used well. Originally, Korea is a country where everything is solved with personal connections, education, and money, so I should try using those things as well.
With that thought in mind, I smiled softly and said.
“Thanks for the information. But if this is a lie, the Exorcism Office will make it clear that they were the ones who tried to kill me and set off dynamite in the building.”
“Dynamite…… ?”
Park Chun-sik looked at me as if he had been stabbed in the back by my words, and muttered while eating beef dipped in oil.
He made some awkward movements, as if he was moving his jaw to act out something random.
Soon, he said, rubbing his cheek with a tired and worn-out face, as if the world was falling apart.
“Ha…… These are the guys who tried to kill me. I know roughly what the situation is. “As of now, work hours are over, so I’ll just mutter to myself.”
“The fact that the exorcism office is excited and watching over what to do with the newly appeared Class A is something that they must have guessed that I showed up right after they got hurt, so let’s just ignore it.”
“At the Exorcism Office, after seeing that Exorcist Lee Joon defeated Red Mask, who was above the rank of A, the high-ranking people said that they expected him to succeed Grandma Maehwa and become the strongest… ….”
“Those idiots. As expected, it exceeded my expectations. Could it be that the spirit is right next to you, but you forgot to do it? …. I heard that one talent that ruins work is outstanding. That’s right, the damn thing is terrible at field work. Damn things.”
The man ignored the poster prohibiting smoking and put a cigarette in his mouth.
But fortunately he didn’t light a cigarette. He just spoke, leaning his upper body against the chair behind him with only his mouth closed.
“Good. Exorcist Lee Jun, what I am saying from now on is. This is just an old, nobody person muttering freely, and it is by no means an official position. So – don’t come to the exorcism office. No, it’s better to leave this industry quickly.”
“Don’t you think that there are enough people like me to be tied up in this sh*thole? Has class A level strength? Good. “It’s good to be strong.”
“But in this industry, if you touch one wrong thing, even an A-lister goes to the afterlife. “I live on the streets, but isn’t my life still important?”
He smiled wryly, saying that if he was unlucky, only an obscure person like him would survive, but his face was exactly what a middle-aged man with a sad past would make.
I made the excuse that it was just talking to myself, but it was really like advice – I answered, thinking that maybe because this world is a game world, there are a lot of good people.
“Ah. Yes.”
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s a big deal even if I die tomorrow. What’s good? Because I’m talking to myself. That would be good too. How many of the exorcists are sane makes me laugh when I sit around saying things like this…….”
He spoke, scratching the stubble on his chin as if he had given up on everything, and then checked his watch.
I followed him, took out my phone and checked the time, it was 5:30. It was time for civil servants to get off work, and Park Chun-sik’s eyes lit up and he even took off his belt and said,
“Well, now that work hours are over, let’s start eating properly. Wooshin, if you would like to eat something other than meat, how about eating it?”
“I’m full. Done.”
“Oh, I see. Then there is nothing we can do. “Exorcist Lee Jun, do you have anything else to tell us?”
I shook my head at the words of Park Chun-sik, who casually ignored Cheongryong’s cold answer, which was different from his usual image.
It doesn’t matter since I plan on grilling all the meat I ordered…… He asked, wiping his mouth with a tissue.
“So. What do you want in return for information about the Hong Kong grandmother? “If the Exorcism Office had given me that information, I think they would have told me to get something rather than just scouting.”
I’m not very intelligent, but I know that much because I’ve lived my life meeting people on the street and hitting them in the back.
I followed along to see if it was the Exorcism Office itself that cooperated with the Red Mask, or if it was something done arbitrarily by the exorcist who was said to have risen to a high position due to the Red Mask.
Now, when I think about the words and actions of the man named Park Chun-sik, it seems that at least the exorcism office itself, or at least the people on the side where the man named Park Chun-sik is, are not the ones trying to kill me.
Please become a member of the Exorcism Agency, although of course we will ignore it. I thought, if it’s a request that’s reasonably worthy, I’ll accept it.
I think it would be better if I could listen to that person and also get information about the pig who is suspected of being a suspect.
I thought that way and waited for an answer. Park Chun-sik quickly raised his eyebrows. He soon made an audible sound as if he understood something.
“I thought this information came from the exorcism office? Ah. But. “The FM system collects information about evil spirits from the exorcism office and delivers it to the exorcist who goes out to the field.”
“But the investigation team at the Exorcism Agency is not that competent. Since we cannot properly measure grades or check abilities, most exorcists conduct their own research or buy information through brokers.”
“So, I personally collected information about Hong Kong grandmothers. If that’s what you want…… Yes. To put it bluntly, I wish you could get rid of that damned evil spirit.”
“Even if a hundred B-class people like me gather together, they can’t kill even a single A-class evil spirit, right? If that’s what you want, that’s about it? “I would like to ask you a favor.”
I was shocked after hearing his words.
It is beyond common sense to say that the information collected by government agencies is unreliable, so they buy information from people in occupations such as brokers.
It was even funnier that the only reason the Exorcism Office sent Park Chun-sik was to encourage scouting.
If I’m injured or look like I’ve been attacked by an evil spirit, isn’t it normal to think about gaining favor by showing information or something else you need, or at least creating a pipeline through which to communicate?
But if you are a idiot who can’t even think of that –
I felt something snap. If you were to give a name to something that was broken, it would be called faith in the government system.
When I was describing a man named Park Chun-sik that my younger brother told me about, I heard the expression ‘the only person working properly at the Exorcism Office’ and realized that I had slightly misunderstood.
Park Chun-sik is not the only person working at ‘Exorcism Office’.
He was ‘the only person working’ at the exorcism office.
Damn you little brother. Even if I play a game, why is it that the game is set in such a crazy world and the sun goes down…….
“One more soju. “The red one.”
“…… “We cannot just ignore underage drinking.”
I was about to drink soju out of frustration, but Park Chun-sik stopped me by saying something like an adult.
I naturally get shivers at being treated like a child. Instead of giving up like usual, I decided to boldly threaten him.
“Okay. That’s correct. But there’s a Class A guy carrying a bomb who drinks and causes trouble on the street, and he drinks in a place where there are other people to stop him. “Which of the two is more problematic?”
“… ….”
Park Chun-sik agrees with what I said. He sighed and ordered me soju with a look on his face that made me look 10 years older.
I tipped my glass of soju, making a promise to myself that tomorrow I would definitely deal with the Grade A evil spirit Hong Kong Grandma. It’s been a long time since I drank soju, but it was quite bitter, but still edible.
