chapter 19
04: I’m kinda f*cked up. I’ve been thinking and thinking about it. Definitely f*cked.
Catch the A-class virtual demon red mask.
After setting my goal, the first thing I did was to find information about the red mask ghost story spreading around the world.
The most important thing in dealing with virtual evil spirits is to know the ghost stories that make up virtual evil spirits.
Although the only urban ghost story I know is the red mask and the spoiled old man.
It’s because I don’t know if the red mask ghost story spreading in this world is the same as what I know.
In the first place, this world is a crazy world that appears as reality when ghost stories spread a little.
Is the red mask really what I know in such a world? Probably not.
It is illegal to spread stories like ghost stories in this world, and horror movies do not exist, so it is difficult to predict how the red mask ghost story will change.
To be honest, I was a bit surprised that there were no horror movies or anything like that.
If you think about it, what if the only horror movie I know, like ‘The Ring’, was caught on the screen in this world.
It was only natural that there would be no horror movies because the demons from the real ring would feed on people’s fears and pop out.
Which country would allow the creation of a horror movie monstrosity?
Slanderers who create and spread scary ghost stories or stories for fun are considered crazy even among slanderers. It’s just a low-intelligence idiot who says no matter how much I won’t get caught.
Even if it’s the former, it’s actually not for fun, but the purpose is to spread ghost stories to create a specific evil spirit and send it to the person who wants to curse it.
It’s only those who have skiIIs or skiIIs that can deal with evil spirits and are trying to increase their strength.
It is said that unless both of them have the same overwhelming skiIIs or uniqueness as Gwi-tae, the end will end in a gruesome death.
To be honest, I wouldn’t take the latter. In a world where real ghosts pop out, ordinary people who write down ghost stories seem more terrifying…….
Anyway, for the same reasons as above, I’m having a hard time researching information about the red mask.
The reason was simple. It was because of information control.
The A-class virtual evil spirit Red Mask actually appeared, and there are records saying that there were hundreds of victims and deaths seven years ago.
Information that can be found in places like Internet cafes is virtual demon Red Mask, who defeated the exorcist, and which spirit the exorcist believes in.
And it was only about what famous evil spirits the exorcists who believed in that spirit had defeated.
There is no mention of what kind of power the red mask has or how strong it is.
It’s easy to see what the exorcists want in this world, given this bizarre information bias.
It seemed to be aimed at reducing the fear of evil spirits as much as raising faith in them by letting people know how great, strong, and good they are.
Is this really why you were telling your friend to shut up even after he was kiIIed by that damn thing?
Since I came to this world, I felt that my liking for this world, which had existed in negative units within me, was falling even further.
Of course, even before I came to this world, it was a negative unit.
If you wake up in the morning and listen to game OSTs over and over like military wake-up music, you will harbor hatred even for games you haven’t played before.
Especially if it’s a game where you listen to content you’re not interested in, like a lecture for an hour every day, forced by your f*cking little brother!
I held my breath to calm my anger and thought with my eyes fixed on the thick monitor that is unique to PC rooms.
The news is proudly claiming that the red mask was exorcised by an unknown exorcist.
However, the quest comes to mind, and the red mask appears intact even in the story his younger brother told him, and he is the guy who tries to kiII the main character.
Then all I can think of is that the exorcist lied, or that he was born in a ghost story.
Even if you search the Internet, there is no story about the red mask that has already disappeared a long time ago.
Although it is illegal to create and spread scary stories.
In this world where evil spirits exist, there is no way to prevent people from posting what they have seen or experienced on the Internet, even if it is an illusion.
That’s why if such a story spreads through social media or personal blogs, it will be known in an instant, but-
Even when I searched mainly on social media, I did not find a distinctive keyword called red mask.
Since virtual demons are born in stories, their characteristics are bound to stand out, but being so quiet-
It means that the person on the Internet news who says ‘Lee Kang-doo, the strongest exorcist of the Exorcism Agency who single-handedly defeated the red mask, an A-class virtual evil spirit!’ Is a liar.
There are many reasons for this lie. He proudly interviews and brags about it.
“Wait a minute. Perhaps the Exorcism Office is more than an asshole…… ?”
Looking at the bald pig man interviewing with a proud smile, I shuddered at the ominous burst like fireworks.
Originally, I planned to make money by working as a mercenary for the Exorcism Agency, but I start to worry about whether the tangerine-like guys who have rotted and withered when I touch them will be able to make a proper decision.
Occasionally, among people, there are young people who live according to their desires moment by moment, throwing away reason, proper value judgment, and the concept of follow-up.
Exactly, beings like my uncle who have already been searched for are examples.
And now. Although I have little information, I began to worry that the government department called the Exorcism Office might be the place where people like that uncle gathered.
If that’s really the case, let alone the mercenaries, you could get caught up in their self-destruction.
…… No, it’s still too early to judge. It is a law to judge what to do once you contact it.
I rubbed my upper teeth lightly with my tongue and continued my search.
There is only one eyewitness story about the red mask left, and the last time 7 years ago when the A-class virtual evil spirit, the red mask was subdued, is not seen.
The reason why the red mask, which was not really exorcised, has been quiet for 7 years is obvious when you consider the noble talent of possessing the skiII to deal with evil spirits.
After spending about 10 more minutes turning the pages, I was able to confirm information about the power of the red mask as if by a miracle.
“…… He’s split like some kind of Power Ranger and damn it.”
Red Blue White Green You’re so f*cking amazing.
Obviously, the red mask I knew was a woman who suddenly asked if I was pretty while walking down the street and teared her lips apart no matter what I answered. When did she become a Power Ranger?
I moaned as I hit my head on the table in the PC room.
It is obvious that this blog post remained because it is absurd and worthless even to the exorcists.
“Damn it. Is there anyone who knows a little about the red mask…….”
If I were to say that I could have known information about such a dangerous evil spirit, Green Lantern and Dog Poop Grandma were all I could think of.
I don’t even know their phone number, so I can’t contact them to ask questions.
I wonder if it would be wiser to just give up on the investigation and go find the red mask first.
Against a virtual demon that can be kiIIed by a dog if you don’t know the gimmick.
It is not a low-level virtual demon that suddenly appeared like Mr. Cuckoo, but you will die if you do not know anything about the red mask, an A-class virtual demon that no one will know about.
As expected, it would be better to go back to Nokla’s house and ask questions.
I won’t tell you easily, but let’s earn sympathy by saying that there is a person among our acquaintances who is being targeted.
Even if you don’t lie like that, given her personality, she’ll tell you anything if you get down on her knees and ask for it.
I have decided to give up on obtaining information through search. She still has time to go to the internet cafe.
“Oops. Are you curious about the red mask?”
I was startled by the sudden voice and my legs slipped. I looked at the owner of the voice I had heard before, who sat down unsightly.
There, Gwi-tae was standing next to me smiling, curling the corners of her eyes as before.
No matter how much I think about it, I’m not the kind of person who would come to a local PC room. Why are you here? I felt my heart throb with surprise,
Rather than that, there was a problem now. Gwitae’s skiII is a skiII named ‘King of Evil Spirits’.
As I said before, no matter how strong the evil spirit is, it is a special skiII that can be perfectly subjugated and manipulated if the sorcerer manages to injure it once.
It’s as powerful as it sounds. Did I mention it’s a skiII where if you do it wrong, you’ll be eaten by the curse of an evil spirit and become something like another possessed body?
It’s as dangerous as it is powerful, so it’s a skiII that you can’t even use unless you’re a really special born like Gwitae-
My younger brother in a state of strangulation told me how wonderful Gwi-tae is as a hidden heroine.
So what’s the problem now?
My guess is that currently Gwi-tae has a Class A virtual demon red mask, but she was caught 7 years ago searching for a demon that she concealed.
If that was also shown to the person preparing the academy raid…… Hmm?
For a moment, I raised my eyebrows with a sense of discomfort as if a thorn had been caught in my throat.
Fun fate…… The academy raid event I remember was an event that also appeared in the original work.
In addition to the unprecedented academy, other famous academy students in Korea gather together to check each other’s skiIIs and call it a ‘retreat’ and fight with each other.
An event in which a group of evil spirits suddenly appear at the retreat with a red mask as the lead, claiming to sow confusion, and the main character fights a proper A-class evil spirit for the first time…… It would be
Is this what Gwi-tae planned?
I remember this event because there was an animation where my younger brother grabbed me by the neck and forced me to look at him while I was about to sleep.
At that time, it was not someone’s will that the red mask attacked the academy, but the red mask and its evil spirit companions…….
I think there was a reason why the red mask didn’t do anything for 7 years- I can’t remember.
I also don’t remember why they attacked the academy. Damn my ass.
But the important thing is that Gwi-tae appears in this episode when the red mask completely removed by the main character, powered up with the power of friendship and love, is dying.
And what I said was clear- I was really lucky. Did I say I wanted you??
…… Oh, well, no problem. He was also just lucky and got a red mask.
Then there’s no problem if I look at this. I loosened my tense body and rubbed my neck. Asked the guitae
“Did you follow me by any chance?”
“Oh, no, I just came here by accident. But I saw you. I want to ask what you think about what I said yesterday~”
“What did you say yesterday?”
“…… Great. I can see who you are. I have no friends. You?”
“There was, but he died.”
As if laughing at me, Gwi-tae asked if she had any friends, but at my answer, she distorted her face as if she had been hit in the back of the head.
Then, as if contemplating something, he sat down next to me and stared at me.
…… To say that he was the worst slanderer in the world, he was clumsy and easily swayed by emotions.
Gwi-tae’s personality, as his younger brother told him, was a madman who cursed the world, scattered curses everywhere, and just wanted everyone to suffer – looking at that, it was far from that.
There’s no way my brother would lie. There must be something I don’t remember. Or is that child growing up like the main character?
The inside of the PC room where only the sounds of games and the voices of screaming elementary students resonate.
I rolled my eyes for a while at this spot where the awkward air subsided because of Gwi-tae who kept looking at me.
“Do you know anything about the red mask?”
“Oh! Are you curious about the red mask?! Because I’m interested too! Great! Let me tell you!”
Gwi-tae changed his face at my question and continued to explain the red mask with a smile.
He looked like a child meeting someone with the same hobby as him for the first time.
Does he have any friends?
According to what I checked on the Internet, there is only one week left until the next event, the day of the ‘retreat’.
As I put the red mask’s information into her ears, I thought she might be someone who had no friends.
Well, since she has no friends, she must be a crazy b*tch who wants the world to become hell. I nodded and patted her chin.
