KTC | Chapter 40

8ac2cee2fb7583b08c6fIf it’s not a case like Seo Jihan, where the seal has been gradually loosening over time, it’s a hundred times better not to stir things up.

89967411200f23272863“If the evil spirits that escaped from Yunseul Village were already on the brink of extinction, it means there are definitely stronger evil spirits out there,” Goo Seungjun realized as he listened to Choi Seonwoo’s words.

e88ec0e248a36c872bf6“That’s right. The really strong ones can’t be driven away by simple means. It takes robust and skilled exorcist priests working together to conduct a solemn exorcism ritual. And even then, sometimes they fail.”

70224c76e13fa650e9bd“But the evil spirit I brought back from Yunseul Village was one that the shamans all said they couldn’t handle.”

4a920e94d3e0732db57d“Since High Shaman Yuksun passed away, they were probably all scared. It’s like getting a fright from a wooden lid after being scared by a snake.”

079beec567acf45d7d4aThe spirit wasn’t that powerful; any properly gifted shaman could have easily dealt with it. That’s why there were thoughts of transferring it to Seo Jihan to handle.

d766e969eabf6cfa801fAfter a brief chat, Choi Seonwoo left the church. The dawn air, growing chillier, brought shivers to his sweat-soaked body.

69ae77bb4dea336184f0“The atmosphere feels odd.”

40ee1e243ba506408dcbChoi Seonwoo stood in the courtyard, looking around. Seo Jihan was nowhere to be seen, only his two bodyguards stood idly. Noticing the two coming out of the church, the bodyguards hurried over.

c1b92721af7b7b43db73Goo Seungjun chuckled and belatedly straightened his disheveled clothes. The approaching bodyguards bowed slightly towards Choi Seonwoo and were about to speak when an exhausted Choi Seonwoo addressed them first.

c27cc0e17ff4d367904b“Some jerk has been terrorizing the island. Ah, Young Master Jihan said to show him that bastard first when Father arrives. We have two of our bodyguards keeping watch over him at the priory, so let’s head there first.”

5f25ca16f5c746988b2fAn unusually fiery Choi Seonwoo sprinted towards the priory. A feral cat abuser on Shindo was unprecedented. Certainly, the work of an outsider.

1ef694ec3b714bad6745That bastard, how should we reprimand, no, correct him?

a11e08a95a95a52d5290As his sweat-soaked stole cooled off, he began to tremble, unsure if it was from the cold or his anger. Choi Seonwoo forcefully opened the door of the priory, and the sight in the living room made all his anger and stray thoughts seem to drain away like the tide.

5fde26902266445efb3e“Is he dead?”

79d3ab65c448615ae690It was a reasonable question from Choi Seonwoo. Anyone would think so seeing the man collapsed over a pile of recyclable trash bags and rice sacks, surrounded by bodyguards in kitchen latex gloves.

508ca7c031e6a7fc8179“No! He’s still alive!”

524e0b432cfebe8dd355“This trash is the cat abuser?”

e05a2d44d10c126ec88dHe already knew before asking. The ghosts of small animals fluttering around the bloodied man were clearly visible. That these animal spirits were so distinct meant they hadn’t been dead long.

4de96a65da9c33e6d044Choi Seonwoo couldn’t bring himself to strike the man in his anger. Instead, Goo Seungjun, who had caught his raised hand in mid-air, kicked the man’s head himself. Turning around in a mix of disbelief and resignation, Goo Seungjun shrugged.

4e7ab63772133680eebdThis man had previously poisoned the stray cats around his home. Easily succumbing to the provocation of a minor evil spirit, he had immersed himself in wicked deeds without a second thought.

8dbecbbfcd1fbc9ea295So the evil spirit from Yunseul Village had attached itself to the village chief’s son. What now?

c7ac646a1aadd27e2ca2Choi Seonwoo focused on the village chief’s son, specifically the evil spirit inhabiting him.

06f353242f51a6fa1775The parishioners had mentioned that the village chief’s son had returned home, bringing his pregnant wife with him. There had been a brief moment of excitement at the prospect of a new baby on the island, but he had no idea things would turn out this way.

61b9a28714c67c56f010“It’s strange… Ghost killing isn’t something just anyone can pull off.”

c1cbdd2c201fdcd836adChoi Seonwoo couldn’t understand how the evil spirit had managed to bewitch this man. If the evil spirit had taken over the village chief’s son’s body and actively led him to commit evil acts, it would have had enough power to perform a ghost killing. But there was no sign of a recent vengeful spirit around the village chief’s son. This meant the evil spirit hadn’t yet managed to fully manifest through its host.

30716b93deef9268b6e6It was frustrating. Viewing the village chief’s son indirectly through this man’s memories made everything appear as unclear afterimages.

2bc5020688cd3b29baa6“No… That’s expected, so there’s no need to ask about that.”

fe9984b8f80768eae949Followers of the Unknown Cult had indeed killed many children in grotesque ways, so it was natural for vengeful spirits to cling to them even after death. Just as Choi Seonwoo himself could control evil spirits but struggled with vengeful spirits, the evil spirits were similar.

a1257640616a76b9a8c3“Oh…”

cab70733ee66fbb10e06While pondering how to further inquire, Choi Seonwoo noticed a momentary whirlwind of chaos in the blood-red eyes of the ghost-killing evil spirit.

0af94712e9f7d94db7cc“This guy’s insane. He ate a vengeful spirit without fear?”

9237a37037ff0caa8ed8Choi Seonwoo muttered incredulously. The spirit had barely made it out after a long period of corrosion. It should have been conserving its strength, waiting for a chance to induce its host to commit acts of blood to gradually regain power. But it seemed it had recklessly consumed a vengeful spirit in its haste.

e5f0c4ef0d281775de1d“Yes. After I dropped her off, I saw it in the side mirror. The evil spirit was eating the female vengeful spirit. I thought it was curious that a ghost would eat another ghost, but is that problematic?”

14b24bfbc79cb32f4f5dIt appeared the evil spirit sensed a threat from Choi Seonwoo’s presence in Goo Seungjun and, without further ado, consumed the easiest vengeful spirit available to recharge its strength.

3ff6a55ba9a6a77b2848Meanwhile, it hadn’t touched the spirits of the children attached to it, which wasn’t entirely foolish. Had it devoured even those young vengeful spirits at random, the evil spirit’s own ego might have completely collapsed.
