My Girlfriend Is a Shaman

48 – Knowing your future spouse #5

Time passed after the woman in the mirror disappeared.

Da-jeong, who was lying limp on the living room floor, slowly came to her senses.

“Ugh…”

Dajeong opened her eyes and a painful groan came out of her mouth. We helped Da-jeong and laid her down on the blanket. Although she came to her senses, Da-jeong was not in good physical condition. She couldn’t move much, like she was exhausted.

I spoke to Da-jeong, who was lying down.

“Dajeong? Are you okay?”

“I don’t have any strength in my body….”

“Do you remember what happened just now? You suddenly wrote a will and tried to jump outside.”

I picked up the cell phone that was lying on the floor and showed it to Da-jeong. There was a note written on Da-jeong’s cell phone suggesting suicide. It was a note written by Da-jeong herself, who woke up during the night.

“Look at this. There’s a memo here on my phone.”

“Hyung….”

As soon as Da-jeong saw the memo written on his cell phone, his face turned pale. This notepad was a problem that had to be checked and resolved. Because Da-jeong may really want to make an extreme choice. Apart from the ghost’s pranks.

“Did you write it yourself?”

“Oh, no…! I didn’t write this. I never thought about suicide. Why would I commit suicide when my brother is alive?”

“Then?”

“My body was moving on its own. I suddenly woke up, said something strange on my phone, and tried to jump outside. It was my body, but it felt like someone else was moving… At first, I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t. .”

Da-jeong clearly remembered that he had acted insanely. From what I heard, Da-jeong was conscious from the moment she opened her eyes. His body just moved on its own. Everyone was possessed by a ghost. He had no intention of making extreme choices.

“What happened to me…?”

Sera answered Da-jeong’s question.

“You were briefly possessed by the ghost who harmed your brother. Ghosts can easily possess people with unstable minds. Now, a child like you is perfect for a ghost to play with.”

“Well, then what should I do? Am I going to die like this? Maybe I’m going to go crazy?”

Dajeong looked at Sarah with a frightened expression. Maybe I could have been possessed by a ghost again. It was clear that if we left Da-jeong alone and walked around the neighborhood by ourselves, something big would happen.

However, we have not only met one or two people suffering from ghosts.

There was a way to protect Da-jeong.

“When the sun rises, let’s go to Hyehwadang.”

“Where is Hyehwadang?”

“It’s my house. There is a shrine inside Hyehwadang. Unclean things cannot enter the shrine unless they are invited. They say it’s safe there as long as you don’t talk unnecessarily.”

A shrine located in Hyehwadang.

It was a space where spirits were worshiped. As I became closer to Sarah, I learned something: unclean things, such as ghosts, could not enter the shrine of Hyehwadang without permission. If a person who was possessed was inside the shrine, the ghost would briefly leave the shrine.

Unclean things could enter a shrine only if they were invited by a person. In the past, there was a reason why Sarah placed Joo-hyuk and A-young, who were haunted by ghosts, in the shrine. At that time, she was the reason why Sarah told her not to answer the ghost’s call for no reason.

“Is it really safe? Can I trust it?”

“If you’re not sure, just follow me.”

“Okay…”

Dajeong obediently nodded her head.

After a while, the day dawned.

It was Saturday morning.

While the sun is up, the scope of ghosts’ activities narrows.

The time has come for us to move.

“Let’s go out quickly.”

We went outside with Da-jeong.

After that, we took a taxi and went to Hyehwadang. Since it was a nearby town, I arrived quickly. We were able to relax only after seeing Da-jeong enter the shrine.

“I’m waiting for you at the shrine. We’ll contact you once the exorcism is over.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll give you something to eat. If you’re hungry, don’t come out and just eat something.”

Sera handed Da-jeong a bag full of bread at the shrine.

While Sarah was taking care of Da-jeong, I investigated the accident that occurred in Soyeon-dong using Hyehwadang’s computer.

The words searched were Soyeon-dong, young woman, red clothes, mirror, etc. After searching for about an hour using mixed words, I was able to find an internet article that listed the woman’s identity.

“Sera! Come and read this. I found out who the woman is.”

“I’ll take the bread with me.”

Sera, who was in the kitchen, made toast.

Sarah and I read articles on the Internet while eating toast.

「Soyeon-dong mother and daughter murder case」

This was the title of the article.

It was a murder case that occurred in Soyeon-dong, Guro-gu in 2006.

The murderer was a young woman named Lee Eun-sook. She was none other than Lee Eun-sook, but she killed her brother’s wife and her daughter. When the police investigated why she killed her mother and daughter, an unusual reason was revealed.

Lee Eun-sook had been rationally in love with her biological brother since her childhood.

Her siblings develop an affection that crosses the line.

It was a taboo not only in Korea but also in most other countries. Lee Eun-sook’s brother naturally rejected her sister’s heart.

Lee Eun-sook did not give up even when her brother married her. Instead, she developed a twisted affection for her brother and hatred for her brother’s wife and her daughter. Eunsuk Lee often sent text messages containing threats to her brother’s wife.

[Divorce my brother right away.]

[Why do you keep doing this, lady?]

[If it weren’t for a b*tch like you, we’d be happy. Why did you come between our innocent siblings? Why are you treating me poorly?]

[If you keep doing this, I will report you to the police….]

[Report it to the police. Let’s see what happens?]

It did not end with threats.

Lee Eun-sook really went to her with a weapon and murdered her brother’s wife and her daughter in her house. She then showed the bodies to her brother when he returned from work. Her extremely enraged brother killed Eun-sook Lee by strangling her.

Her brother was arrested by the police.

That is how the murder case ended.

Lee Eun-sook committed her murder and she wore red that day.

When she was killed by her brother, she had a large full-length mirror behind her.

“It’s terrible.”

“She wasn’t a healthy woman even when she was alive.”

Sarah and I clicked our tongues after reading an article on the Internet. It was the end of a woman who overcame the taboo between siblings. She had no idea what Eunsuk Lee was thinking when she showed her family’s corpses to her brother. Now that all her obstacles are gone. Did she even say she was leaving to escape from love?

She still knew where her ghost resided.

“It was a full-length mirror. She said that when Lee Eun-sook died, the mirror was reflecting her.”

“Yes. It’s a full-length mirror in the house where the murder occurred. We have to deal with it.”

It was a full-length mirror.

The female ghost inhabiting the mirror was moving through the mirror and causing accidents. It also made sense that most of the victims were men with her younger sister. This was because she held a grudge against her brother who did not accept her feelings when she was alive. So she hurt other men to relieve her resentment.

“It’s a mirror… But how do you burn a mirror?”

“You can’t burn it, right? If it’s a full-length mirror, it’s a bit big. Even if you pour oil on it and set it on fire, it won’t melt easily.”

A minor problem arose.

The problem was that glass mirrors were difficult to burn. Glass had a high melting point. It seemed difficult to use the method of extinguishing the fire by lighting it as had been done so far.

“Hmm….”

I thought about it for a moment. I felt like I had heard from my father a long time ago how to dispose of unclean items that cannot be burned.

“Let me take a look at my notes.”

“Is there a way?”

“Maybe there is?”

I took out a thick notebook containing my father’s story.

Was there a way?

I was a little nervous too.

My father’s solution was written in the notebook I made a while ago.

「… There are unclean items that do not burn easily or cannot be burned at all. When I was in high school, I had a hard time relying solely on the burning method. This happened when I tried to exorcise a ghost that resided in a stone Buddha statue. The statue did not burn well. “It was quite a struggle until I found out another way.”

「After many attempts, I discovered a useful method of worship. First, destroy the object that the ghost resides in. If you break it into pieces, the ghosts inside will inevitably come out. All you have to do is throw a human-like doll at the ghost that appears at this time. The doll must have the ghost’s real name written on it.”

「Didn’t they say that souls can easily reside in dolls that resemble people? It was as he said. If you destroy the object it was inhabiting, the ghost is bound to reside somewhere again. When a ghost comes in contact with a human-like doll, it is sucked in and resides in the doll. Just aim for this moment. If you cut off the doll’s head, the ghost will disappear.”

Sarah and I looked at the note and were impressed.

It was knowledge that contained my father’s experience of experiencing prenatal care.

“Wow, there really was a way.”

“You mean to forcibly put souls into dolls to control them? That certainly makes sense. It’s easy for souls to reside in dolls that resemble people. They used that in reverse.”

Sarah nodded her head as if she understood.

I recommended the doll to Sarah.

“How about Jewoong’s doll? Since it is an amulet doll, it will be more effective.”

“Let’s make it now, Jinwoo.”

We made an impromptu statue using the straw found in Hyehwadang.

It was a straw doll used in Korea to ward off evil. In the first place, Jewoong used it to cast bad luck on dolls instead of people. It was perfect for ghosts to reside in.

Zero in the form of a woman was completed.

It was a straw doll wearing a skirt. We wrote Eunsuk Lee’s name on Jewoong’s body with a red pen. With this, preparations are complete.

The house where the murder occurred was in a residential area near Soyeon Station.

If you walk around the station, you will be able to find out its location.

We took a taxi and departed for Soyeon-dong.
