97 – 15: I found what I wanted to do in this world today.

Gwitae rubbed the screen of his cell phone and pondered the current situation. Lee Joon’s sudden resignation as successor. Hiding. The resulting confusion among people.

Gwitae was surprised by Lee Jun’s behavior, but he also had a thought.

Didn’t he also hate this world and harbor his own will like himself?

Look. The current era is one in which Maehwa makes the decision to cut out the rotten pus called the Exorcism Office, exorcists and civilians fall into chaos, and society itself may be shaken.

The existence of Plum Blossom’s successor was a story that helped people who were inevitably feeling anxious to divert their thoughts, albeit slightly.

A boy and a girl who were designated as the successors of Maehwa, the world’s strongest exorcist.

Both of them are said to be Class A at a young age, and they have made a great contribution to defeating the seal-designated divine spirit level demon Mama, and are favored by the divine spirits Tree and Ushin, respectively.

One of them is the protagonist of this world, chosen by Gwi-tae himself. And the other one is a man with the strongest and worst skills that even she didn’t expect. Lee Jun.

Lee Joon suddenly said he was giving up his position as successor. Rather than holding a formal press conference, he made a quick announcement using a little-known Internet YouTuber’s broadcast and then disappeared.

In Guitae’s opinion, this would have been a choice that distorted the big picture that the plum blossoms had been preparing.

As mentioned above, announcing her successor before she crushed the exorcism office may have been a choice to slightly divert people’s attention from the confusion and fear that would follow.

How would people react if the most powerful candidate, a being who went straight through the hell that is Gonjiam Mental Hospital and purified himself, was kicked out of the position of successor?

People’s psychology is so funny that they have the perception that an exorcist is someone who protects people no matter what, perhaps because of the existence of Maehwa, who was the guardian of this country for a long time.

But this time, all the people who were supposed to be successors ignored him and disappeared into hiding, so the people who were talking about how he was suitable for the position of successor became very funny.

Considering his personality, it wasn’t strange, but Guitae wondered what might have happened there. There may be a reason for this sudden resignation from the position of successor.

Resignation followed immediately after the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital was purged. What Guitae remembered was the cause of the curse called Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital and something in it.

Gwitae knows that in the space called Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, there is a fetish that maintains that space.

She also says that it is a guess in the exorcism office’s report, but Guitae knows that it is not a guess but a fact.

The method of subduing evil spirits and strengthening oneself is something that many people have tried and failed at the same time. Ordinary people seemed to view Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital as the result of a miserable failure.

She believes that the creation of a space that can be called its own is already a success.

No, this is not simply a success, but proof that strengthening evil spirits through fetishes, which she was curious about, is realistically possible.

According to the investigation, the curse of the evil spirit that the man tried to use was an evil spirit whose only ability was to create a barrier that could possess people. The man had the skill to fix objects.

And these two abilities turned Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital into hell due to their unknown fetishes.

A hell created by the synergistic effect of two skills. Conversely, as long as the fetish at the center is secured, ordinary humans can use the unique area.

Gwitae thought there. If Lee Joon really secured the casting, then wouldn’t he have wanted something from the beginning?

Assuming that he completely cut off contact with the Academy because he got what he wanted, his strange behavior was understandable.

Gwi-tae knows very little about a man named Lee Jun. It seemed like he didn’t exist at all before he first appeared, but he seemed so familiar with street life.

He became an A-class exorcist and earned at least hundreds of millions of dollars by carrying out orders to exorcise evil spirits, but strangely enough, he did not rent a room and lived on the streets.

And his actions were irrational and bizarre. Gwitae thought there must be a reason for such behavior, and since such strange behavior usually leads to madness, she secretly had hopes.

He is a rational person, but can we say that he does not have curse and hatred within him?

If you think rationally, her prediction is just a guess, but even an exorcist is still human. He has feelings.

It was only natural that he would make irrational choices based on the situation that bound him and his life so far.

No, these are all excuses. Guitae wants him to be angry and angry now.

People are similar to exorcists, but even though people who kill people still exist in the world.

Forgetting that exorcists are also human beings with emotions and lives, they talk arbitrarily about the title of exorcist.

As the exorcist named Lee Joon talks and evaluates whether or not he can become Maehwa’s successor, he has no interest in what kind of life he lived in the past.

Isn’t it natural to be angry? Although it is not strange if it is disassembled.

I became interested in the existence of a strange water ghost that had appeared in the waters off Busan in Gwitaedo Island, so I put off visiting him until later.

To be precise, he didn’t answer the phone, so there was no way to contact him.

Even if I send a message, I don’t see it, and I don’t receive any contact. Even if you contact them, all you get back is a notification that your cell phone is turned off.

She arrived in Busan, with Guitae muttering to himself that he had just turned off the phone. As if guided by something, she encountered her man named Lee Jun again.

It wasn’t her who came to visit, but her partner who came to visit. At this, Gwitae felt puzzled at himself for feeling satisfied for no reason. In any case, the fact that he came to see me meant a lot.

Gwitae’s prediction may be true. He, too, may be harboring anger and scheming.

With such expectations in mind, Guitae asked Lee Jun, who had brought him to the restaurant, with the most even expression on his face, and put his expectations into his mouth.

“The next Choi Kang, who threw down his position as successor and went into hiding. There must be a reason why you came to this place – I’m looking forward to it.

Is there a reason you came all the way here and turned your back on everything? Kikikick, I’m really looking forward to it. I didn’t notice it either, but yes. Of course. There’s no way you don’t have resentment in this world.

If you show that level of name value and ability, and build relationships, you can easily destroy them all. No, it’s not just that – you’ve secured the ‘object’ that maintains Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital?

Your skills, various castings. If you can get some help with those things – great. “If I can, I will help you complete your painting.”

If you want to do something in this world, I am willing to help. She has her own intentions, but wouldn’t she be able to give that much consideration to joining hands with someone with abilities like Lee Joon’s?

She waited for his answer, imagining the things she would do ‘together’ with him in the future, but the man answered with a calm face, as if laughing at her expectations.

“I brought him here to feed him, but he was having some strange delusion.”

“Yes…… ?”

“I came here to rest and by chance I found you and called you to eat. Eat. Don’t think strange thoughts. “We’re going to eat this and go to another town over there.”

“Well, what is that…” … ?”

His calm face tells her that her expectations were wrong from the start.

Although Guitae felt regretful about him, she also questioned his actions, but that was not what was important.

Afterwards, he said something as if he had noticed the existence of the swimsuit he had bought like a fool because he was excited about coming to the beach for the first time in his life.

I wondered how he realized that, but what was important was what he said next.

“Are you here to catch the water ghost that appears here? “I’ll help you catch it.”

“Yes?”

Lee Jun suddenly offers to help him. The moment I woke up, I wondered if I had heard wrong.

He is not against you, but he is not helpful either. It is a relationship that continues by drawing appropriate lines.

Even though that alone was the first person she had ever seen. He is a person who covers himself and does not hate or hostility.

Even among ordinary people, people with good sense are afraid of her, but there was no one in her life who would buy her food or anything other than Lee Jun.

He was the first person who approached me and didn’t want something from me.

But that doesn’t mean Guitae had special feelings for him…… No.

He was a person who could even kill spirits, so it didn’t matter whether he was sincere or not.

I said so. But now you’re going to help me? He probably doesn’t have the same thoughts as you, so why? What on earth are you thinking?

At that, Gwitae felt her heart beating strangely. A strange feeling as if my heart was floating and beating on water. Gwitae was momentarily taken aback by this strange reaction of his body temperature rising with his heartbeat.

But that is only for a moment. She suddenly remembered the past when she saw Wooshin, the spirit, drop his chopsticks, sigh, wipe the grease off her mouth, and hand her a new one.

It is often said that it was a heartwarming sight that reminded him of his family, but Guitae has never had such a warm experience.

Her childhood was all about memories of her being chained up and picking up food waste. The person she called her mother was crazy, and she could not even be called a human being.

She was raped by an evil spirit and gave birth to Gwitae herself. As a result, he is a pitiful person who has lost everything that a human being should have.

I didn’t know why that person came to mind right now. She ‘cursed’ herself to death for the first time in her life.

There is no reason at this moment to think of a person in her life who was of no help other than knowing what was inside Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital and leaving behind information.

“…… So what do you want from me by helping me?”

“Nothing.”

“Ha. Well, I understand. “I will make sure you know that.”

Hearing that he seemed angry about something, Guitae felt his pounding heart sink and sink into the muddy mud. Her lips rise gently.

Yes, the reason Gwi-tae came here was because she was interested in the water ghost that appeared in the sea of Busan and had very special powers.

Lee Jun said he came here simply to avoid public attention and rest, but he changed his story and said he would help him, so there must be a reason. There is no need to ask that.

If you continue to maintain this relationship, he might one day join hands with you.

And…… And. When I see the divine spirit Wooshin, something comes to mind and then disappears as if in a hurry. Guitae tilted his head at that strange sensation.

Soon, he decided to think only about his own purpose in the sea of Busan. Ignoring the pounding in her chest, she decided to get up from the restaurant.

“Then let’s move quickly. It’s hard to meet the water ghost we’re looking for alone, so we’re lucky we met him…….”

The conversation stopped there. The water ghosts that appear here only appear under special conditions.

And that condition is an evil spirit that appears when physical contact, such as holding hands with someone in the water, continues for a certain period of time.

It can be said that the rumor that became the basis of the evil spirit is the story of a person who was abandoned by a friend and drowned.

If one of two people in contact discovers an evil spirit and abandons the other in order to survive, the act is interpreted as a magical ritual of offering a living sacrifice, and one of them is sure to die.

Gwitae was interested in a method that was not thought to be the work of an ordinary evil spirit.

What is important is this. Contact for more than a certain period of time. In the water.

“Uh… ….”

It wasn’t that difficult, but the mention of the swimsuit he suddenly mentioned a moment ago popped into Guitae’s mind.

There is no reason to wear a swimsuit just because you have to go into the water. And the man in front of her doesn’t even care what she wears.

But why are you so worried? Why does my heart beat again in a different way than before? Why does it feel so painful to be with a man in front of me, as if I’m cursed?

Gwitae bit his lip tightly due to an unknown sensation.
