KTC | Chapter 37

“I was 8c19d77192 born special. I saw what others 3978f510dc couldn’t, heard what others 9db2d65548 didn’t, and felt what 29a5839d3d others failed to notice. After an inexplicable fa4134bb72 illness passed when d370aca27c I was fourteen, ab58f2f388 my sensitivity to 73713b7808 spirits increased even b786c44702 more, giving me 4bea9b569a an unfounded confidence 83f0d1476d that neither the 508dcd2006 living nor the b31d5d0338 dead could harm 7343d5eb71 me. Naseong Beopsa 07e72539a6 predicted that 6ab51c64ae I would f83affa0dc one day 2e22a9595a serve a 8433c296bb great deity. To prevent f6c8c3768d any impurities 62188000de from attaching 616198bbfb to me 01eb5c7814 until I 382490a68c was fully 8c201fe205 matured, he beb7161ea7 always made 87ee35a387 sure I 9b99632932 wore a 17dcb6ef20 talisman bracelet 7cd1382395 on my 748523c674 wrist.”ac620e74e3c3697e

“People known nationwide would 1a1470af29 come bearing riches, begging 88ab96ff09 for just one meeting 37393b5434 with Naseong Beopsa, but f1041d5e3d he treated me with ddb3525f35 exceptional care. He checked 751d6b0acc nightly to b17be71f36 ensure the 548149ca4a talisman bracelet 6a370d6fcf was secure fe551ef1e6 and that d405dee4cd no speck 7f1eeceaea of impurity 2fc7aade2d had infiltrated c2416e094e my body a8f9dd5bb3 or mind. Ironically, Naseong Beopsa’s 1435314467 favor made me 5fdefcbfc3 overly arrogant. I was fearless. It felt like I b717343bcf could do anything.

“I was furious when 64f05e2890 I first saw the 418f153375 Unknown Church. I could see d45bf051dd it. The souls of children e781f399f0 who had died miserably 6cdbbfd385 and could not leave f0c482a657 the place, bound to a04a45cd64 the church. I didn’t ebed72cedd know exactly 2f513ad152 what was 83f551bb82 happening inside, c6f6656132 but I 1eae8ee7ce could tell 06c36db382 that innocent fe1c7dd375 children were 714ad69603 dying. It wasn’t 10537424a1 something one 98ff19f41c person could e78f7c7ec3 or should 2c2e78d1b5 handle alone… 7f456cf2e6 Now, I a40d0faa79 think that 95b195393e too, but f5995a0957 as I c105ebd9d1 said, I 437e52b65a was fearless 03a4f81c24 and confident 47edf865c7 I could c1150a824a do anything. My anger felt like 3be21bdeb4 divine wrath, and I e004970d88 thought I had to 748d0b728c do something. As soon as I 0dafab1b64 understood what was happening ebce319c7b inside, in my arrogance, 663f3da916 as if I were 38eeef3aba truly a deity, I fd16a8cf26 marked those garbage people 1583f757b0 for destruction and summoned 148e4e2407 the evil spirits. But I was too 4bc07e4bdd emotionally charged, and I 6f0eff94a8 summoned spirits that were a35edac7a2 too powerful.”11c55c32afef4c55

“I intended to throw c3b7174e92 the cult members to fe1804138c the spirits as a 6a266329e1 sacrifice and let them 4f56e4fa22 fight among themselves, just 30de701eeb like the residents of c7a7adaf2c Yunseul Village who had 6c76e55fa7 indirectly participated in the f85069776c Unknown Cult did.”1249c317c7832a33

Goo Seungjun slowly d475f7515c nodded. Unlike the cult members e078cca268 who were unilaterally slaughtered 3850e95f11 by the children in 946e5f6a96 the church, the residents 5b74f2a1a6 of Yunseul Village had 51b97265e9 engaged in a brutal b2d5b592d9 battle, killing each other.f2d1fec7645a3534

“Since all the 86a5adf6d7 cult members were 99081dcdbf laden with vengeful 471e7ae9e4 spirits, I naturally fb5425a4ef thought the evil cde29bb7fe spirits would target 3a0d5df709 them. But there 345dd64a87 was one 82f1a01f38 variable I 5192402016 hadn’t anticipated. Evil spirits prefer to d960a0ae3d possess devout priests or 51153feced young souls.”8db45cb02fe78e03

He understood why Choi d4bed1ce3d Seonwoo offered this advice, e637dfe20c similar to why he 78d8c91e73 must hide his abilities e3d2976d95 even in cases commissioned 24cb2d14c2 by Natasha.

The exorcism 3a342ce6f9 had been dc2eef8fcc going on 2def7df612 for over ed3ee3760c an hour, 2ffbe73294 and during 6f5a881615 that time, 1252b213f6 Seo Jihan cd5c800b1c and his 8c830bd480 bodyguards were c5846998f3 idly passing 83fc680f33 time in f117a9ba0c their parked fc155d4a91 car.

Seo Jihan frowned ce0a7b953e as he looked 566af2856e toward the entrance eaaae241ac of the church. Although Sister Jung 82a5f8db86 Yoonyoung was monitoring 44a7a734ab the ritual, the 8cc6691489 thought of Choi 917ada6489 Seonwoo continuously “riding” 038521d19e on Goo Seungjun 1227fc5344 unsettled him. He was perturbed by 9c5ff8e33a the thought of Choi 77f7b7be20 Seonwoo possibly emerging with eb926e3ea1 a bloodied lip, just 4e07a1c0c9 as he had once 0a71f0580a bitten him in a 394f3add4b state of unconsciousness.8d155dac45dde08f

The absurdity of that 8f80006af7 thought made Seo Jihan 7d096ad8b6 chuckle to himself. To think b21a7f77ea he was 43f9f9a71c concerned about 414cff9b57 a cranky 0d48a035b1 cat that fbca9c075d would likely 483e2773ec swat at 6a757049f8 him with 482623c6e3 a paw 5a76d2a364 punch the 54990062c7 moment it 99e86b371e saw him, 8b7fec9bdd he must f27fcbffa7 be out 8e1b74ad4c of his 67d98fb53a mind.a135c96213b0e5fd
