The mountain had no parking lot, so Cha Gyeol parked in the village and walked 20 minutes to the mountain entrance and then 30 minutes further up the trail. Finding the shaman’s house so easily felt anticlimactic—no, it was infuriating. d82b073cd9abafe1

“Are they all out of their minds?” Cha Gyeol ground his teeth. It was to the point where he suspected they might be putting on a show to deceive him. With each stride of his long legs, more of the house came into view—a tiled roof in perfect condition, tall walls, and an old wooden gate weathered by time. The house, surrounded by trees, looked like something built during the Joseon dynasty. It wouldn’t have been surprising if it were designated a cultural heritage site. It felt as if time had stopped here. The atmosphere was strangely peculiar. 0021b93aab810019

Cha Gyeol knocked on b452fba92e the gate lightly, loosening 920032ed59 the strength in his 39a1632b2d fist. After a moment of 5ea4d24196 dead silence, there was 6c821c15a9 a loud shuffling noise, 14f99662cd as if someone was 245d760c03 frantically putting on slippers. 06b72c4906d32080

The voice grew closer. The person e743959378 must have 5e3f4c64fd been standing b30009b8f9 just behind 9ba7d85c15 the gate. Looking at the 8b75685e8b gate, Cha Gyeol 9d5b555f23 tilted his head f87a6323af slightly, hands in 20c1b9af20 his pants pocket, a747378301 as if he 39558e379c should answer that 71e567695a he was just 25fb1a1c19 a passerby. 6524f0d265bbf72f

From the sound of 2aa91d9aa3 the voice, the person f09d5969a8 seemed pressed up against e02d1097c4 the gate. The voice sounded 4e55f58cc8 like that of 100615d6ee a young girl. She was so 86f7ec1a7a surprised that her e648437327 voice even trembled. The gate looked like 7fbd935e57 it might fall over dbe50a100e with just a few 46dcb00fb6 kicks. Cha Gyeol’s gaze swept f0c9c070c3 over the gate and aa6498437b stopped. It seemed like it 2b4c8295d5 wouldn’t be too much 457c99164a trouble to break through. 191b73ed1982896e

It was 5959f27275 a smooth 72f4f1ac79 and pleasant 2f7b1969ff voice. Cha Gyeol could sense 9abf932cab the hesitation in the de277d5011 woman beyond the gate.

The gate slowly 09bc537589 opened, about the 608e0bcaa0 width of a 14cda3b6da handspan. Eyes peeked out, landing 12abff1fc4 slightly below Cha Gyeol’s d9500ee76e chest—a consequence of her 7d11721eac height. Cha Gyeol patiently 45b41509f4 waited as those ef55e738fe eyes slowly traveled 420c943dd9 upward. The gaze paused at f04014ba12 his jaw for a dd051693bf moment, stopped again at 372fe9f591 his nose, and finally, e2d3ef4610 their eyes met. He watched 7d9ff8ad91 with faint 7b971f4390 interest as b58642f43e her wide 31fd01b480 pupils grew 846a338121 even larger. fbbc45be8541509f

Her exposed eyes were d5f24bf107 strikingly beautiful. They were large 8a0d46908c and elegantly almond-shaped, f0019871d4 giving her a bba17cb093 gentle and melancholic 464a5101a1 look despite their a6ae6447db slightly upturned corners. The whites of her b2f048afab eyes were spotless, without c2b2afdc5c a trace of blood 0ef528ff85 vessels, and her irises f5ae1e8065 were a deep black, 08ce29ae4a almost unnaturally dark even b58f0c101e in the sunlight.

Ghosts again, 054381bd0f here and c4d8f79fc6 there. What nonsense. Cha Gyeol raised his aa2544a1c1 hand and ran it dab107f5be through his hair irritably, 215ed803bb but suddenly, her hand 90412ac674 darted out only to 57c1b971f7 retract just as quickly.
