74 – 12: I Am Again Today

After Grandma Gaeddong’s speech, what followed was preparation for battle.

There was only one day left, but since Mama, who broke the seal at the academy and came out, was not just an evil spirit but a sick person, preparations to prevent damage were a priority.

At the academy, people in military uniform and academy people were walking around non-stop.

The atmosphere is no different from those preparing for war. It was so strange to me that those people were carrying pig heads, sacrificial food, and unknown tools.

Nevertheless, there was a tension in the air that could not be ignored.

I was just watching the scene alone from the rooftop of the academy building.

Where did Wooshin go?

“Your job, as I said, is to suffocate the damn thing. I’ll take care of all the preparations and fighting – just ask me to wait in the rear and deal with it.

But before that. God Ushin. There is something I would like to ask of you. “Can you please lend us your strength for the people of this land?”

“Can I be the captain?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Yes~”

For this reason, I am away for a while.

Grandma Gaeddong said that not only Wooshin but also trees and trees work together to create a barrier.

It is said that Sumok usually hides his identity as an academy student with the same name as Shinnyeong and an awareness-blocking Jugu.

Because today is not the time for that, Woosin and Sumok are said to be adding strength to protect people as gods.

It is said that one other spirit went into hiding because he did not feel like doing so.

Except for Yeonghyeong, the names of the other spirits are called Hwadeok Jin-gun or Hwadeok-swagi, and I wanted to see their faces to see what they were doing.

I don’t know exactly what Soo-mok and Woo-shin will do, but I’m sure the other exorcists will take care of it.

“But why are you here? Isn’t there a lot more to do? First of all, you’re the top here, right?”

“You idiot. There are people who taught me properly, so why do I have to do all that? If this old man takes charge of everything on his own, it will all fall apart when he dies?

The only thing I do is nominally doing paperwork and traveling around the field to exorcise evil spirits…… And what year was it? I remember that the 2000s had just passed…….”

“Elder… ….”

Grandma Gaeddong was lying down using my lap as a pillow and said something like, ‘A few months ago, I had a hard time because there were so many evil spirits because of something like an end-of-the-century legend.’

It was very uncomfortable to use a person’s knee as a pillow. Even if I forcibly pushed it away, it came back and took my knee by force, so there was no way.

Yes, this is an old man who needs help. Even if he gets angry, he will only make me a bad person.

I muttered to myself and soothed myself, and ignoring the lie that her grandmother had told her, she asked me straight.

“So there really must be a reason why you’re hanging out here. If you have something to say, just tell someone else to do it. Even if it wasn’t, there’s no reason to bother me. “Please don’t just look at me and tell me.”

“…… W-Be strict. Are you sure you’re an adolescent brat? “No matter what, I don’t care about my looks, but I always end up with a face like an old man who has lived in the whole world – uh, is there a problem?”

“Don’t worry, I’m good at standing up like a teenager. Because I don’t have a temper that makes me look at older people s*xually. So what’s going on?”

Grandma Gaeddong was taken aback by my words and clicked her tongue. She soon lost her expression. She asked me

“The exorcist who fought with you before – no, is it a non-exorcist? Couldn’t he call the child? Be prepared with as much money as you can.

If I had worked with you to deal with a ghost-level evil spirit, there would be no need to check my abilities, and now I need at least one more strong person like that, so can you at least tell me a story?”

“That’s unreasonable. “That guy is actually the guy who will take advantage of the guy who shows up this time and tell us all to die together.”

“Is that so? “Ah, unfortunately.”

Although her grandmother spoke as if she was sorry, her face did not look sad at all. That was strange to me.

Gwitae’s purpose is to throw the world into chaos after disposing of all the spirits, and since he is hostile to the Academy, he cannot help with this matter even if I ask him to.

A person of her caliber would naturally be of great help in a situation like this, and I knew that, so I expected Gaeddong’s grandmother to say something more – but she gave up too coolly.

“Kakat. Hey. You’re all good, but your thoughts show too easily on your face. No, I’m not hiding this – whatever. Living in the shadows like that is especially damaging.

Protecting the world as an exorcist? These are the people in those places who explode with indignation when they hear such an unworthy cause.

Don’t you know? “Even if they don’t go completely crazy and become possessed, these people must be so crazy that they can survive at the bottom of the bottom and take care of their fate.”

Grandma Gaeddong looked at me while saying that. I felt like his gaze was telling me that I was crazy too, so I just pushed the old lady who was lying on my knees.

“Kwaaah?! Hey, this guy even used his spiritual power to push me?! Are you going to throw me off the roof?!”

“Please don’t treat normal people like crazy people.”

“? “Are you serious?”

? Why are you reacting like that?

I admit that I have a dirty personality, in addition to being conscienceless, hot-tempered, and severely moody, but I didn’t like it as seriously as the exorcists I met here.

I wanted to correct the illusion of her grandmother, who was a dog with eyes that looked like a person without conscience.

Immediately afterward, the person in the suit hurriedly looked for her grandmother and the opportunity was lost.

Before Grandma Gaeddong left, she told me to rest well tonight, told me the location of the lodgings where I would be staying alone, and left in a hurry.

Do you think they give me special care? I looked blankly at the scenery below from the rooftop.

Under a pitch-black and gloomy sky, it would not be strange if it rained right now.

In the middle of the academy grounds, instead of the withered peach trees I had seen before, I saw gorgeous blooming flowers.

As far as I know, the petals of a peach tree are usually close to pink, but the peach tree blooming in the middle of the academy was shining bright red as if it were filled with blood.

The color was so vivid and mysterious that it gave me the ominous thought that something would be taken away if I kept looking at it. That wasn’t all.

Curses flowed from the peach tree like fog rising. The wind blows, and curses flow with it.

There’s still one day left, and the seal hasn’t even been properly broken, but it’s in that state.

Goosebumps rose all over my body, and my instincts told me that what was buried under that tree was more dangerous than any evil spirit I had ever seen.

The thing down there wants to kill people. Evil spirits that have been sealed for a long time and have accumulated curses are literally a disaster for humanity.

A divine-level evil spirit. An entity that was sealed there for a long time and became a curse.

In front of the tree, the divine spirit Wooshin and the tree were wearing hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) similar to a dragon robe, so it seemed like the somewhat ominous curse was being neutralized.

“But there is a high possibility that this will really fall behind.”

Thanks to Grandma Gaeddong, it was good to get confirmation that the things that tried to kill me before were exorcisms. I’m going to die before I can pay them back.

Why, something like that gets released and it’s damn good. I checked my money with a sigh.

< Cash holdings: 1,187,011,400 won >

1.1 Billion. There are so many. It felt really strange to think that this much money was in my bank account right now.

In the original world, I suffered this much, did all sorts of things, risked my life, and couldn’t sleep as well as I do now, but it took almost 20 years to repay the debt.

But not even a year has passed since I came into this world, and 1.1 Billion?

“Life is so true.”

Let’s go without saving any money we can give you.

There is no need to be greedy. Don’t you know deep down? If I die now in this world, I don’t know if I’ll be able to take the money I’ve saved up until now. Until the end, the favor is definitely repaid.

I took out my cell phone and looked at the saved number of the lady. I hope you are doing well. I’m worried about what’s going to happen, so I should call right now. How will we do it.

I was just wasting my time like a fool, staring blankly at my thumb that couldn’t move at all.

Should I say, finally? The quest window guy started saying strange things again that pissed people off. It’s a little different than usual.

< TIP: Player. Instead of fighting it directly, we recommend taking a detour and choosing a more gentle solution. >

< TIP: An old man said that a wise person is someone who only chooses battles he can win and avoids danger. I hope you make a wise choice. >

“What is this idiot?”

I can’t understand this random nonsense.

Has there been a bug since the last update? It was only after reading the window that appeared before my eyes about three times that I finally understood what it was trying to say.

To put it simply, the quest window is telling me not to deal with Mama and to run away.

Considering that he had previously told me to deal with Mama through a quest, it was strange that he suddenly changed his words like flipping his palm.

“I got a bug, so what did I do wrong?”

The guy who usually told me to just do quests suddenly ran away. It was so strange that he was like this, usually just telling me to do what he told me to do without worrying about whether I was looking after him or not.

…… No, thinking about the time when Red Mask evolved into a ghost-level evil spirit and attacked me, doesn’t this guy also want me to die?

Even so, the window that came up this time was very strange. It was even more so because the person who usually spoke straight about his purpose was going round and round and making it difficult to understand.

Are you thinking of a new way to take advantage of me?

Yes, I ignored what he said too much. Anyone with a brain will find a way.

If there is a bastard who just won’t listen, the law is to replace him with another one or somehow make him obey me.

In this case, since you can’t change someone, you can see it as an attempt to lure me in various ways.

Thinking like that, I tried to ignore the window and move past it as usual.

—–

< Danger: The power of Mama, the sealed spirit-level evil spirit, is recovering faster. >

< A sealed, divine-level evil spirit. The Plague God Mama is an extremely dangerous evil spirit. Even after being sealed by the strongest exorcist ‘Maehwa’, this evil spirit maintained its spirit. The curse accumulated over a long period of time has made it a more dangerous evil spirit than before. >

< TIP: This evil spirit spreads various diseases and poisons, and has learned how to control the power of ley lines over a long period of time, making it an unprecedentedly powerful evil spirit. And it’s wicked. Although he already has the power to break the seal, he deliberately does not break it in order to weaken the power of his enemies. >

From noble mtl dot com

< TIP: After the seal is broken, Mama Plague God shows the fake bowl. She wields the roots of a peach tree that has been corrupted by a curse, hoping to take away the power of the exorcists. This is also to properly handle the power of the devoured spirit vein, so this is the first phase. >

< TIP: In this world, there is no one that is important to you, right? Please think only of yourself. >

“Oh?”

I felt blood rush to my head at the last words written by the quest window.

To Quest Chang, my friend didn’t even exist. Do people look so different to this damn thing? Will other people see this?

There may be circumstances. There may be a reason.

When I see the quest window suddenly speaking with a worried tone about me, there may be something I can’t imagine.

No matter how much we try to convince ourselves, there are things about humans that we cannot accept emotionally.

If you do something that comes to mind right now, you might regret it. No, I definitely regret it. If I make a mistake, my skills will be discovered and it could end up being nothing more than a foolish suicide.

No matter what happens as a result of this, if this damn quest window doesn’t do what you want, that’s fine.

If this is him trying to use his brain to take advantage of me – then you can dance whatever you want for now. Be sure to pay it back. Because I have chosen to move forward rather than regret.

I got up and jumped down the building. Strengthening my body with spiritual power, I jumped over buildings and floors and reached the peach tree.

“Uh-uh, you can’t come here! “The barrier is still in the process of being created!”

“This is a sanctuary where the spirits reside! You came in with feet of clay! “Do you want to be punished by heaven?”

I could hear people wearing military uniforms around me saying something, but I ignored them.

I understood that this behavior was disturbing and rude to them, but I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time to worry about that right now.

I took out all the dynamite from my bankbook and held it in my arms. People around me were shocked and stopped talking when they saw me holding the Han Areum bomb in my arms.

I placed the bombs tightly around a peach tree that was dropping fancy red petals.

I smiled brightly and said to Wooshin, who was looking at me blankly and tilting his head.

“Woo Shin-ah. “Will you do me a favor?”

Wooshin tilted his head and looked at me at my words. I smiled brightly at that and thought.

Quest window said. Mama is deliberately not breaking the seal.

The fighting while avoiding the tree roots that I remember is nothing more than a ploy to take away the power of the exorcists. It is said that if you wait like this until tomorrow, you will be able to control the power of the spirit vein.

They said that if we wait for this, only we will suffer damage. So what should we do?

“Can you hit that tree with the strongest lightning you can? So much so that the trees fly away.”

The correct answer is to destroy that tree first. I took out the cloth from which I had taken the Blue Dragon Sword from the storage room and forcibly pulled the people near the tree.

Wooshin smiled brightly at my request, as if the sun had risen from the ground under a gloomy sky. Flash! The light fell. Qarring! There was heavy drinking and heat.

I smiled fiercely and held a weapon in both hands.
