82 – 13: Honestly, I don’t want to go to that house. [Slight edit]

“What on earth is this! Plum blossom! How dare you choose a successor like this! “Shouldn’t such important matters go through sufficient meetings?!”

“If you act so recklessly, what will happen to our country in the future?”

Oh my. You’re good at rolling your tongue.

Maehwa snorted as she watched people who were so old that it wouldn’t be surprising if they collapsed immediately due to high blood pressure, raising their blood pressure and shouting.

Until a few years ago, people were making a fuss about creating a successor as if they were singing a song to the plum blossoms, but are they now changing their words?

The reason was clear.

The successor they are talking about is the strongest exorcist, and they want to enjoy all the power by putting a puppet of those old people in their place where they can exert influence with just a single word. This is another way of saying.

Feeling tired, Maehwa glanced up and saw a group of people gathered in a secret conference room along the palace grounds.

As she gets older, the exorcist who protected people with the power she saw in the past is only seen by old acquaintances who cannot be seen and by wildcats who are so full of desire that they cannot tell whether they are humans or animals.

Is it because the destruction of the world has been confirmed that only these people have gathered at the exorcism center created to protect the world? Or was it his own negligence that led to this result?

The exorcist office was created to prevent corruption in the world of exorcists who have all the power in their hands, but why did it end up like this?

Perhaps it is her own sin. She believed they could self-clean themselves. No, I wanted to believe it.

If power stagnates, it rots, and it is too much for one person to hold. She cut off all of her power because the bigger her symbolism became, the bigger she became, the more powerful she became.

Of course she had to. She is always on the front line where she can die at any time, so she shouldn’t have power like that because she can die at any time.

Her role, as she hopes and should be, is not as a politician in power, but as an exorcist who will fight and die for the people.

The person that Maehwa hoped for was like a scarecrow with only her name, but she is still in this position. This is because she survived the deaths of many of her colleagues and predecessors during that long period of time.

Obviously, in the past, exorcism offices played their role properly. No matter what she did, she did her job to protect her people from the evil spirits that were the greatest threat to this country.

Even before they could predict the destruction of the world, they corrupted so quickly. So much so that one could believe that something had rotted their souls.

‘Even if they were cursed like that, they would have made the choice.’

Everyone here is an exorcist, even if they are of a low level. These are people who recognize the curse, have the power to fight it, and can choose.

If such corruption is a curse, they are the ones who accepted that curse.

Exorcists can resist curses differently than ordinary people. And if you don’t overcome it, you die.

Burns spiritual power to fight against curses and defeat evil spirits. Since he is an exorcist, it is natural to overcome the curse. But everyone gathered here forgot even that obvious fact.

To rot like that is like a loser who has given up on fighting. It seems like only a moment has passed for her.

The young child with many dreams has become an old man who is full of greed and has lost his sense of reason. Once again, time passed by for others, leaving her alone. In its worst form.

Maehwa, who had once again swallowed the sighs and questions she had expressed before, smiled and spoke as if laughing at the wildcats in front of her.

“What’s the problem with me choosing my successor?”

“- Well, that is.”

“I decided, in my eyes, who was ‘strong’ enough to take over my position. Then tell me. Could the guys you recommended before replace me?

Can you single-handedly kill an evil spirit that can wipe out this country? It would be great if they could bring in at least one guy like that. “If you bring even one guy that strong, I’ll reconsider.”

At Maehwa’s words, the old people and treacherous people sitting on the cushions groaned.

It was natural, since the people they pushed in as successor candidates were all idiots who lacked ability and only knew how to play politics.

But, as if he could not give up even in this situation, the man in the position of Minister of Exorcism distorted his face and asked.

“…… You suddenly decided on a successor. I understand that when I recommended it to you before, you said it wasn’t necessary. Until now, during that long period of time, you have never once chosen a successor.

But you decided so suddenly, what kind of change of heart did you have? Or in this fight…… “Have you suffered any serious injuries?”

Oh my. Does it come out like that?

Maehwa rested her chin and looked at the Vice Minister who said that.

Now his eyes are cloudy because he is blinded by greed and material greed, but in the past, he was a child who was intelligent and good at judging situations.

The child was trying to use this opportunity to ascertain why Plum Blossom had mentioned a successor at this time.

Well, I knew it would be like this. Along with the announcement of the successor, the extermination of Mama, a god-level evil spirit, is the event that attracts the most attention in this country, and indeed around the world.

Even though the divine-level evil spirit was released from the seal, the damage was minimal. Even though he was dropped to Class A, he is a bizarre being who wields the power of a divine spirit level evil spirit using his spiritual vein.

As soon as such an evil spirit that ignores common sense is exorcised, they will open their mouths about the successor, and they will inevitably have doubts and doubts.

Even though the plum blossoms said this, anyone with brains or sense would suspect that even though Mama’s status has been lowered this time, she is not at the level of an A-level evil spirit.

Even if it wasn’t, if it was an organization that had a close relationship with exorcists such as the Exorcism Office, they would have heard something from those who encountered the demon in person.

It was an enemy of mankind that humans could not dare to confront. An immortal evil that will spread disease across this land and rot life. Anyone who encounters it in person will naturally know.

However, even those who witnessed this incident seemed unable to reach the point where they thought, ‘There is someone who can defeat a divine-level evil spirit.’

In the first place, according to common sense, it makes no sense for a god-level evil spirit to fall, so those idiots are just watching to see if there is something going on.

‘Still, I’m glad you even asked this.’

Maehwa sighed.

Her going away and trying to check something is proof that these idiots aren’t the only ones trying to kill the kid by going as far as she was worried.

If she asked why she chose that bastard as her successor instead of checking her own status first, she would have killed all the bastards here today to prevent the corruption of her ideals. The idea was to stop it.

From now on, she plans to actively intervene and chip away at their power, but she would rather kill them all.

Although relieved that fortunately there was nothing to cause a bloody storm, the plum blossom opened its mouth to check what was especially rotten and rampaging in this basket of rotten fruit.

“You guys really think that I have never decided on a successor? No. I have been trying to create a successor so far. “It’s because they all die.”

This was true. Throughout her long life, she met colleagues, friends, and some of whom she thought of as daughters or sons, some of whom had extraordinary talents.

Each time, Maehwa tried to help her as much as she could, to increase her strength, and to make her her successor. She is all dead.

That is the reason she has endured her long life until now. She lives to this day because no one has the power to succeed her.

Live and die as an ‘exorcist’. This is her prohibition, the curse she is fighting against.

“I know these guys will survive no matter what. I was so sure. And you’re worried that I’m hurt? Of course I got hurt. It’s natural to get hurt when fighting such a monster.

So, how many of you here are level B or higher? Or are there brave people like shamans who risked their lives to do their duty even though they were of low rank?”

“…… “We will provide as much support as possible-“

“There is no need to say that I don’t even remember the last time I personally fought an evil spirit with a sword.”

“Okay.”

As Maehwa said this with a grin, everyone gathered in this conference room averted their gaze or groaned.

Maehwa snorted at those reactions. Now she wanted to achieve what she came here for.

Aiming for an A-class exorcist, and not only that, they are looking for an exorcist who is in league with evil spirits and a traitor to humanity.

I will leave it to the boy to organize it. She finds out who he is and cuts off her bastard’s limbs before she can do it for her.

Compared to these guys, how much of a proper guy is that boy? He doesn’t go wild just because he has power, he wants money, but he’s not greedy, and he knows how to maintain integrity.

It’s unnecessarily adult-like for a childish topic, but it’s also weak in affection. When I looked at him, some of the feelings I had abandoned a long time ago seemed to resurface.

Maehwa stopped her thoughts there when she suddenly felt pain in her chest. Does this mean that this thought is unnecessary for an exorcist?

Tilting her chin, she saw that her blood was flowing out of the bandages wrapped around her body. To avoid being noticed by those present, she smiled even more fiercely and said,

“In the end, if he is weak enough to not be my successor, this is the end of the story. What is important now is not my successor. To appease public sentiment and suppress fear.

In that sense, isn’t it beneficial for me to act like this? “The number of powerful exorcists has increased to the point where people consider me to be the successor.”

Maehwa stopped her words there and looked at those gathered in her conference room.

There were not that many people gathered here, where only those who were deputy directors or higher from the Exorcism Office gathered, and the reactions to her words were varied.

A guy who wants to take advantage of this situation somehow to swallow up power and money. He’s sick to his stomach that the guy who came rolling in took the position he wanted so badly.

From the jealous one to the annoyed one. A guy who is indifferent. Among the many rotten things. The reactions of some guys were particularly notable.

If the situation goes this way, they are even breaking into a cold sweat and looking around as if their lives are in danger.

Lee Kang-du, a B+ grade exorcist at the Exorcism Office branch in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and things along the line.

‘–It’s them.’

He was recognized for his role in catching Red Mask and rose to that position, but he was on the verge of being cut off because it was confirmed that Red Mask had not in fact been eradicated.

It seems like they are somehow holding on through the connections and lobbying they have built up until now, but that may not be long.

No, you will survive. Red Mask’s survival proves that the Exorcism Agency did not properly search for spiritual power and responded complacently.

These guys have already agreed among themselves that the red mask that Lee Joon exorcised is a newly born virtual evil spirit. Even though everyone in this industry knows this.

You may be demoted or pushed to a job in the countryside, but where are you attached?

But even in that situation, that guy is shaking with fear. That means there is a reason why a boy named Lee Jun should not become untouchable.

If you dig into the line between Lee Kang-doo and that guy, you will see a connection with the dangerous religious group ‘God’s End’.

It won’t take that long. Everything is revealed before the boy’s injuries fully heal.

And at the same time, Maehwa does not intend to allow everyone in this room to be in the exorcism office. It may take some time, but there is nothing we can do as they have committed crimes beyond incompetence.

The future she saw may be approaching faster just because these people are here, but that doesn’t mean she can afford it if she kills them right here.

It is enough for me to just be someone who can die at any time. You keep surviving.

Suppressing the emotions welling up in her heart, Maehwa tapped her cell phone with one hand and sent a message quietly informing Nokra that those things would move and to be careful of the end of the gods.

When I received the reply that Lee Jun was so angry that he attacked the tip of the god and destroyed it, Maehwa couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

How did I run into them again? There’s no way those filthy bastards could be defeated so easily, so what did they do?!

Seeing Maehwa’s sudden smile, the people around her looked at her with concern as to whether she was really in bad condition, but Maehwa didn’t care.

He’s a really young kid. But he doesn’t hate it. If she had a guy like this, she might be okay with getting her long-awaited wish.

The one wish that I never dared to tell anyone. Peaceful rest. Death.

Maehwa smiled as she recalled how she had given up on dreaming at some point.
