chapter 10
02 : I am still living in the game world. Today, tomorrow too.
After a child with spiritual power enters the academy, two duties arise for those who are recognized as exorcists.
First. To not use your powers to kiII innocent civilians.
Second. To fight against evil spirits at the risk of one’s life.
For the reason that they possess spiritual power, humans force children who have not yet reached adulthood to fight for their lives.
Although the current reality is that adults have no choice but to force their children to do so against the unavoidable disaster of evil spirits.
At least, people are giving numerous benefits to children who enter the academy.
Tax reduction or various free education, pension. And many other benefits.
There are many benefits to the extent that it is said that as long as a child with spiritual power enters the academy, his life is guaranteed as long as he does not work and hunts down evil spirits.
Nokla thought so far. Are they really worthy of being obtained by sacrificing children’s youth and lives?
Although I can say absolutely not. She can’t deny that she can’t protect this world unless she’s a child with spiritual power.
The number of people who can handle spiritual power is too small.
In such a situation, evil spirits continue to appear.
No matter how much the people of the academy teach and train, young shoots are useless in the face of the threat of evil spirits.
Nokla has lived to see such things and try to prevent them somehow. And it produced several results.
Among the beings called divine spirits in the present age, we created a system that allows children to be entangled with relatively proper spirits, not trash of poor quality like O.
When freshmen go on missions, they must be led by a teacher to go out.
The bad habit of throwing new students who have just entered the academy into the field of extermination of evil spirits, which is no different from limbs after checking their skiIIs, was also eliminated.
It could have been easier for her since her original identity is identity.
No one can deny that she has developed a system for children in this country.
But the reason the whole system works is because of the risk and pain exorcists will have to bear.
Because there is a price to be paid for taking the risk.
Because I do dangerous things. Treat that much
This is the most difficult story in the world. At least the above made sense, so people listened to her.
Among the students, there are students who simply accept the fate of becoming an exorcist because they have spiritual power, and there are also students who express dissatisfaction with it.
There are many cases where even such children put up with the many benefits that can be obtained just by graduating from the academy.
But. Even if you don’t receive any benefits or respect. What do people say that a child who fulfills the duty of an exorcist fights for?
Nokla shoved the thought into her heart and checked whether what the boy said was true- no.
Considering it to be true, she told the spiritual power investigation team what the boy had said about the evil spirit.
Doubt about the appearance of the possessed body. Characteristics of the victim mentioned by the boy. To unique skiIIs.
Even the demons that moved as if they were gathering in that huge hand, and the hand that kept appearing no matter how much I got rid of it.
When the boy’s words were put together, everything the exorcists thought was strange was explained, so she was more reliable.
The hand demon that appeared each time probably served as a detector to see if there were people nearby that it might be targeting.
In order to find the person you’re targeting, you’ll need to identify and check the curses emanating from negative emotions, so you’d need a detector like that.
The demons must have been attracted by the curse flowing from the detector.
If this kind of information is gathered, even a child as an exorcist will be able to find it.
In the first place, the exorcists belonging to the academy were aware of the existence of a special evil spirit that took the children and manipulated them and was chasing them.
Until now, I didn’t think I was hiding my spiritual power, so I was fooling around.
If you know the existence of the characteristics and skiIIs the boy told you about, then you can find them on the contrary.
The method is to use reports from civilians.
Even without spiritual power, people can instinctively feel the existence of evil spirits.
Things like getting goosebumps while walking down the street at night or feeling stares.
Perhaps for some reason, if you suddenly don’t want to go on the road you used to take every day, you feel the presence of an evil spirit standing at the opposite end of your survival instinct.
Even if the possessed body, which is the most difficult and dangerous among evil spirits, hides spiritual power, even people’s instinct for survival cannot be ignored.
That’s why I can find the possessed body.
Recently, there has been a sudden report that there is an evil spirit, and it is to find a place where the evil spirit is found, but the spiritual power is not felt.
Normally, if you don’t feel spiritual power despite the existence of evil spirits, then the evil spirits that don’t even have the power to kiII people simply appear and then disappear. I will pass it on.
If there was a skiII that could hide spiritual power, it would be a little different. When I examine it again now, I wonder why I can’t feel spiritual power. Aren’t there so many evil spirits gathered?
If that happens, there is a high possibility that it will interfere with the defeat of the possessed body.
“…… No, simple evil spirits are not the problem.”
No matter how many evil spirits that are at the level of being possessed by the flowing spiritual power of evil spirits, no B-class hunter can win.
However, the ice body that appeared this time is dangerous.
Creating a division called a hand demon. It is a clever existence that hides its spiritual power and does not reveal its existence to anyone.
In addition, to protect children without kiIIing them means that there is a place to protect them.
That would mean that this possessed body has already manifested a ‘special domain’ that only a few of Class A demons can manifest.
“Damn it.”
Nokla closed her eyes tightly.
Inherent area is the worst space in which the skiIIs possessed by evil spirits are displayed at their maximum power, and even the limitations of those skiIIs are nullified.
25 Years ago was the last time a possessed body was strong enough to manifest its own domain.
The possessed body occurred in Hunan Province, China, and was barely eradicated with tens of thousands of victims, including Chinese exorcists, Taoists.
If an evil spirit with its own realm was born in the middle of Seoul, Korea, the word disaster would be insufficient.
A special evil spirit that is born when a child with spiritual power holds a curse on the world beyond his or her own. Ice body.
Nokla thought while looking at the sky that was slowly getting hotter.
Although it was frustrating that in this emergency, all she could do now was wait for the accurate results of the investigation to come out.
More than that, what fretted her was about her and her boy.
I know a lot of strange things. A boy with spiritual power living on the street without food.
I know that the hand demon is fake. Do you even know that skiII? Conceptually, it is impossible.
Unless you are familiar with the child who was still human before becoming a possessed body.
“Since you suddenly followed me, I thought there was something… ….”
Let’s rule out emotions and judge rationally. It is to anticipate the most reasonable possibility of this situation.
Let’s take a look at the boy’s comment again.
The boy also knew about the parents of the child who became possessed.
It was said that he was able to escape only thanks to the characteristic of not kiIIing children.
The second thing about parents. Is it possible?
Class A doesn’t stop with human casualties, but it causes a national catastrophe, so you ran away against such a monster?
Yes, it is possible. When you just transformed into a possessed body, there are cases where your reason as a human remains. In that case, nothing is impossible.
In fact, similar cases exist in the past.
Usually in such a situation, the possessed body first exterminates those who abused it.
The story that only those who were kind to the possessed were spared and sent back intact is often passed down as a legend among exorcists. There are also actual records.
Then the boy actually fought against his acquaintance who became a possessed person. That the possessed body survived because it showed mercy.
If the boy had been one of the people who bullied the possessed child, or had been a stranger, he would not have survived.
Nokra, who had reached that point, began to understand the boy’s actions.
Every night. Without missing a single day. A boy who hunted all the evil spirits he could see.
Even though there is no such thing as a request to receive money, the behavior of the boy who was dealing with the demons was strange even if he was simply cleaning up the ruins to spend the night.
Maybe he was looking for a boy who became a possessed body. He goes looking for him and meets him.
After a lot of thought, I tried to find the child who had become a possessed body by using myself, but it didn’t work out-
Inadvertently, a child who was cursed by a possessed body was witnessed in his own house, as if the real god, not a spirit-like being, had played a cruel prank.
The possessed body that has already lost its reason must have been no different from an evil spirit.
In addition to seeing the boy once, the evil spirit started targeting the boy first because the boy met the standards of children the possessed body was aiming for.
At first glance, the behavior of the possessed body, which is trying to save abused children like itself, even though it has already lost its reason, seems pitiful and good-natured.
The good intentions of those who have become evil spirits are not the same as good intentions. A law that is sure to harm living humans.
He didn’t notice even though he was there. She was just surprised that the girl who appeared as the delivery man had spiritual powers.
Although her eyes can see many things, she is oblivious to the curse that quietly hides her body.
I felt something- but I was surprised that a child with spiritual powers was working as a delivery driver, so I didn’t pay close attention.
Even foolishly. If I had looked more carefully, I would have noticed. Nokla rubbed her eyes, raising her sunglasses slightly.
If he had had his ‘eyes’ intact, he would have noticed everything.
Nokla felt a little of her remorse welling up within herself. She shook off hastily.
Until now, I had vaguely expected that the boy was constantly wandering around outside for some reason.
The so-called exorcists all have their own stories. It becomes a line that does not allow the exorcists to cross it.
Therefore, there was nothing Nokra could do other than cheer for the boy to overcome the past that oppressed him.
I never thought it would be like this. The stomach is stuffy and the sour taste rises. Nokla swallowed and held her breath.
A boy who is expected to have known the child before becoming a possessor to the point where he knows what kind of person his parents are.
How did the child feel when he tried to find the possessed body even after miraculously surviving?
Did he walk the streets alone to stop being his friend?
The question of who exactly became the boy’s possessed body is no longer meaningful. There is no reason to even find out right now.
The child who was already the source of the possessed body is dead. The parents must have died too.
Isn’t it probably in the worst shape and strewn about somewhere in its own realm?
She thought so. Still, deep down she hoped that this prediction was her mistake, that the boy had misunderstood something or even lied.
If it ends with a child’s lie and a foolish delusion, there’s nothing wrong with leaving only one page of the poem.
All you have to do is to laugh and be annoyed at what lies to a boy are so scary.
But on the other hand, if what she thought was true…….
Tiriri-
Nokla heard her phone ring and rolled her eyes. It was a call from the Spiritual Forces Investigation Team.
Twenty-three minutes have passed since her initial report to the current contact.
As soon as she reported what she heard from her boy and said that a possessed body might have appeared, she said that she, who was the most competent in the country as far as her search was concerned, took on this task.
That’s why it was only natural that they contacted me within 30 minutes.
She connected her phone, hoping that she was lying.
“[ – That report was correct. In the direction of Myeongil-dong, the unique area of A-class demons was discovered. She succeeds in checking the inside with the doll, and can be judged by the body of the possessed inside to check the body. The skiII is as it was reported, and the team dedicated to exorcism judges that it is a high-risk situation.]”
“[ Named the possessed object by the team dedicated to the commandment of evil spirits. As of the current time, all exorcists of Grade B or higher will be gathered to exorcise the Class A evil spirit Saetani. ]”
She let out a deep sigh at the call she heard.
The world was truly a cruel world.
