06 : I ran into something I didn’t want today.

There was a person. There are people everywhere. Even in the scorching heat, humans do not die, but wriggling like insects.

The intent to kiII rises. Instinct expresses disgust and whispers to kiII all in sight.

Kill, kiII, kiII, it was clear that this thirst would not go away. This thirst will only go away if we kiII not only this land, but all human beings who have breath in the world.

Humans call beings with this instinct evil spirits.

In the eyes of the evil spirits, the humans who feared and hated them were laughable.

After all, everything that makes up evil spirits is human.

A shadow reflected in a mirror. Both sides of the shadow. If we do not laugh at fear by pointing our fingers at things that are not as essentially different as the front and back of a coin, what else is there to laugh at?

Humans are stupid. He deceives the essence, and joins because he has no power. Wanting to kiII each other, they create evil spirits while talking about peace.

Aren’t evil spirits pure compared to beings full of impurities like humans?

So, in sympathy with the words of ‘it’ that destroys the human world and creates a new world, he pretended to be victimized by the pitiful human and hid himself.

It was simple entertainment. Even after gaining reason, kiIIing humans was fun, but while he was looking for something more fun, it was because the words of ‘it’ piqued his interest.

A world in which the owner of this world became an evil spirit.

The evil spirit thought that it would be very fun to become the master of the world and hunt humans instead of covering them with pretense and hypocrisy and not being able to continue their lives if they are not protected.

But right now. For the first time, the evil spirit, dubbed ‘Red Mask’ by the people, has no choice but to admit that it looked down on humans.

Evil spirits and humans kiII each other. If you are weak, you die; if you survive, you become strong.

Even though that evil spirit gained a body and gained intelligence, it did not think deeply about what it possessed, so it lost.

Knives were driven into the body and hacked to pieces, and the body was cut off right before being torn apart.

By being weaker than yourself, not anyone else.

Why?

After falling to the edge of nothingness and almost disappearing because I was able to kiII him enough without applying a curse.

After being defeated for the first time since birth, the evil spirit called Red Mask thought in a weakened state.

Hateful. Hate. But I didn’t understand.

I knew that the so-called exorcists use what is called forbidden to increase their power.

The evil spirit of the red mask was also fully aware of it and prepared for it, but its own body was destroyed and defeated.

Humiliation and anger, as if the soul was broken. It didn’t even end there, the red mask was saved by his compatriots and lived an ugly life.

With the feeling of resentment, the spiritual power imprisoned in the body burns. It’s a soul-crushing feeling, but the red mask doesn’t stop him from thinking.

Why was he defeated? A female b*tch’s obstruction? Gibberish. Such an obstruction could not be dismissed as an obstruction.

Then what about that strange male power? It gave the impression that the sword was embedded in the body and forced to die.

Yes, if you make a reason, that might be the most appropriate.

The male who used the forbidden material and the red mask had an equal level of spiritual power. That’s why a male knife was embedded in the red mask’s body.

But that’s not all. That’s not all. Something more intrinsic. The difference in the essentials divided the victory or defeat.

Then what was lacking?

The red mask kiIIed and tortured people in order to restore its weakened body while brooding over the moment that could be called humiliation to itself.

Then the answer doesn’t come out alone. It’s nasty as a powerful evil spirit, but the red mask realized the answer to this question by asking the human torturing it to recover.

What they both had was a desire to achieve something. The will to kiII oneself even at the cost of one’s own life.

The girl risked her life to attract the attention of the red mask. The male, in the state where his body was smashed, stabbed the gap and thrust the knife into his body.

The red mask lacked willpower than those humans.

Evil spirits, whose instinct is to kiII, curse, and play with people, can be said to be tenacious because they never let go of the human they are targeting.

It was not enough to call it will. It is an area close to instinct.

But humans are different. Even if life is in danger, humans try to achieve something even while rejecting their instincts as creatures. That’s why it’s called will.

Then, can’t an evil spirit have such a will?

No, no. It can’t be. The moment he reached that point, the red mask felt that something that formed it was cracking, but he didn’t stop thinking.

Just as demons are shadows of humans, humans are also shadows of evil spirits. Humans and evil spirits are brothers who hate each other because they share what they have.

Humans speak of their will as if it were something sublime and great.

Look. Doing anything to win, using everything.

Isn’t the viciousness of trying to kiII the other person even when the existence and reason that makes up ‘oneself’ is in danger of disappearing is like a ‘curse’?

If so- If so. The fight between humans and demons. Isn’t it a fight in which the winner is divided depending on who curses the opponent more?

The one who bears the most devastating and terrible curse deserves to be the master of this world. This world moves like that.

Quick. The crack in the red mask eventually cracked its shell.

The evil spirit that was given the name of the red mask has surpassed both its name and limits.

“Porridge-, kiII.”

An evil spirit that is hostile towards only one person. As if to bless the evil spirit’s birth, the moonlight disappeared.

From noble mtl dot com

And as if watching it, the black cloth swayed in the dark.

An arm that looks like a dry twig that can be seen through the clothes. It made a laughing sound like scratching iron, with glowing blue sparks rising from where its eyes should be.

The moon that had risen in the sky hid itself above the clouds as if it couldn’t possibly see such an evil.

*****

A morning beyond the tropical night. As I was eating a late breakfast, the main character appeared in front of the house.

To be precise, I’m trying to somehow teach Woo-shin how to use chopsticks when he’s trying to eat a fried egg with his hands.

The main character, who was coming to this house from the road, met eyes with a tree.

Of course, Wooshin tried to run away in a hurry, but what appeared this time was not an unknown exorcist, but the main character of this world.

“Wow…… ? Get used to it Captain. Strange. Similar to me, but different. I feel the energy. Both of them are scary people…….”

Wooshin didn’t run away muttering with blank eyes like he did when he first saw me. I felt the corners of my mouth rise on their own.

Since I posted the report at dawn, I thought it would come by tomorrow, but to be able to come so quickly.

As expected, the main character. The main character is the best I felt like I could buy you dinner now as I am full of gratitude to the person I am grateful for who will take this bomb from me.

Of course, what is the benefit of evil spirits to people? I just want him to leave as soon as possible because it makes me hot and irritable and accidents happen.

More than that.

“Don’t spy on the house from over the wall and come in.”

“Oh, yes.”

“That man. I thought of you from the first time I saw you. You have such a thick face.”

The main character and the tree muttered something, but I passed it in one ear and brought the main character into the room. I welcomed them by handing over the ion drink I bought at the store.

Even though they’re wearing their academy uniforms, there’s no way the two of them came here to play.

As if to prove my thoughts, the main character who entered the room politely opened his mouth with an awkward gesture.

“Hello. Exorcist Lee Joon. Good job. We came from the academy, and we came to check the status of the spirit-class demon that the exorcist was chasing.”

“My name here is A. An A-class exorcist. And this is a tree. I am an exorcist who is currently staying at B+ grade due to special circumstances. Whoa.”

Was the main character already A-grade? I saw the exorcist license handed over by the main character.

In that certificate, it seems that the protagonist became an A-rank almost immediately after entering the academy. I also thought you were the main character.

It was natural. Previously, it was put up to protect me and Seo Yoon-seo from being targeted by Saetani. If the main character was grade C, like this, wouldn’t he have just told him to die?

No matter how much the academy sends freshmen on a mission to exorcise evil spirits, there is no way to send a helpless child in a situation where a bird-like monster might attack.

…… No, right? She can’t believe it because her grandmother is so dog sh*t.

“…… Drink water first. It looks suffocating.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you… ….”

“Did I tell you? Friend You don’t have to be so nervous when you talk! Everyone will bow their heads on their own anyway, so there’s no need to be so nervous!”

“Normal people don’t bow their heads just because they said it.”

I reflexively responded to the tree’s nonsense.

The main character couldn’t stop the tree from talking because he was drinking an ion drink while carefully watching Wooshin next to him. Spewed out

Listening to what you said last time, it seems that the tree is trying to hide that it was a divine being, but it seems that the tree has no intention of hiding its identity.

Ah, even if you say that, you’re just going to treat me like a crazy person.

I scratched my chin and looked at the main character who was watching Woo-shin’s condition with her eyes wide open next to me, and Woo-shin who was looking at the tree with wonder.

Since this demon seems to have an interest in the main character like the original, it’s time for the damn demon to leave.

With a feeling of relief, I wiped the fried bits and oil off its cheek. Then the main character opened his mouth to come up with a reason to take it.

“Fortunately, there is someone other than me that this evil spirit is interested in? Did you sense something from this spirit-class evil spirit?”

“…… Yes. I guess so.”

“Then wouldn’t it be better for you to protect this demon for safety?”

“Yes?”

“It is extremely dangerous to have a divine-class demon in the middle of a city like this. But it’s hard for me to go to the academy—wouldn’t it be better if you and this demon go together?”

“Uh. That… ….”

The main character was still speechless like a child when I continued talking. I better not miss the gap! This is right! When he said that, he nodded his head.

“Are you leaving us with this just because you’re bothered?”

It’s something I don’t want to do, but I should pass it on to someone else.

I laughed at the words of the tree while pointing a finger.

Leaving aside the main character who hasn’t come to his senses yet, I ended up talking to convince this damn demon who had been following me.

“I think you should go with me too. How is it? Those guys are trustworthy guys.”

“…… Leader…… ?”

“What was that? The fear you feel, that guy will solve it all. Believe it That guy won’t hurt you. He’s a guy you can trust.”

It’s clear from the fact that he follows them around in the original story as well.

I don’t remember all of them, but didn’t the guy who was afraid of people try to be friendly with people for the sake of the main character, and in the end, wasn’t he even prepared to die for the sake of the main character?

I still don’t know why he said he wasn’t afraid of me. If you meet the main character like this, you will automatically become friends, and then everything will be resolved.

I won’t be able to meet this terrifying evil spirit anymore, and the next time I meet it, I’ll become a prominent spirit.

So I told him to take care of everything.

“…… Captain, would you like me to?”

“Uh.”

I really wish that was the case. I nodded my head like that. As it is, this evil spirit followed the main character and dreamed of a future where all cases were resolved.

“…… Huh. All right. Leader. Me! I will go with them!”

Thankfully, Wooshin approached the main character with a big nod, just as I had hoped. I clenched my fists and laughed at him.

The main character looked at me for some reason and said as if he was embarrassed.

“Hey, Gwa, are you okay? I just saw it. This child and Lee Jun-ssi……. You seemed friendly.”

“You’ve got the heat.”

Seeing such nonsense. There is probably no one in this world who says that you can make friends with evil spirits.

The main character also tries to be friends with the spirits, not with the evil spirits. …… No, he’s a kid who flirts with even the noblest.

I didn’t want to talk to the main character out of awe.

I told him to drink more ion drinks. The protagonist munched his lips in search of words, then closed his mouth.

Looking like he’s worried about something, let’s say that the longer this evil spirit stays here, the more dangerous people are.

The main character couldn’t say anything more and returned to the academy with the evil spirits following him.

Honestly, very little about handing that kid a bomb like that. Although it was really a little, but with a pang of conscience.

Seeing the quiet and comfortable house, the pain of conscience disappeared in an instant. Yes, I am a conscienceless bastard.

I smiled and waved. Wooshin waved his hand as if greeting me. I thought the face looked a bit sad.

As I said, it’s an evil spirit that can’t be taken care of like a dog from the neighborhood.

I decided to forget about Wooshin and lay down in the living room.

In a room where the heat has disappeared, enjoying the cool air of the air conditioner, we are slowly sinking into sleep. Flash in front of your eyes! And a window popped up, louder than usual.

“What is crazy?”

Unlike usual, the windows shining red. And absurd content. Are you a ghost? It’s not even the hometown of a legend- no, this world itself is the hometown of a legend, Sipal.

I gasped at the absurd creative contents. A word escaped from his mouth as if squeezed.

“ㅡBecause they like passing one bomb, isn’t it a little bit like another one comes right away?”

My life used to be a bit unlucky, but these days it seems to be really serious.

I wrinkled my chin and cried.
