He was currently “seeing” memories. Like a dream, he witnessed events that he hadn’t experienced himself. Even though he was merely observing, the pain of those involved felt so vivid that it was agonizing. Something kept welling up inside him, an emotion that he couldn’t quite identify as either sorrow or anger.1839eb112a339f19

The woman had become a vengeful spirit to protect the child. She had deliberately died in front of many people, feeding on their fear and terror, adding her own grief to remain as a malevolent ghost. She wanted to stay by the child’s side, even in that form.e3a59ffa7cbaa091
The scars inflicted on her soul by the blade used for exorcism didn’t easily fade away. Although the child had lost most of his senses and couldn’t communicate, the woman kept causing strange phenomena, desperately trying to protect even half of his soul. She had absorbed the village’s fear and transferred it to the child, like a mother bird feeding her chick.61e8fb1919baa7e5

But as time passed, the child’s soul continued to diminish. The woman absorbed nearby evil spirits to grow stronger, imitating famous ghostly figures to gather more fear from the villagers.b7bd33f8e49538b0
This behavior was also an attempt to mimic what Na Gyeong’s spirit had done earlier. Perhaps she wanted to understand why the child had done such things or to communicate with him in that manner. It might have been a way to ensure the child’s existence remained in the villagers’ memories.767db6bad493b88b

As she grew stronger, the woman kept searching for the Kwon family. However, the master and his wife had left for a foreign country, and no matter how hard she searched, she couldn’t find Kwon Namil.9018b373cd119f4a
In the end, the child’s soul dissipated into smoke. Ryubeom felt that several months must have passed by then.09da2e813678e27d

[Must kill first…]
So he understood. The reason why the strange phenomena in Hyojomyeon had intensified over the past few months was to consume more fear, and also… to somehow resolve the child’s grudge before he disappeared. Although the child couldn’t be spoken to, the woman probably believed that what Na Gyeong wanted was revenge against Kwon Namil.560d661fa9252917

“Ugh…”f7b48de4dff53e8e
Ryubeom groaned. As the past memories overlapped with the present, a headache set in. He saw the vengeful spirit of the woman holding onto Kwon Namil, and the child’s spirit standing still in front of them, the images swirling confusingly before his eyes. The woman, desperate to relieve the child’s grudge before he disappeared, was on the verge of breaking Kwon Namil’s limbs.f0b5391143f810f6

The moment he recognized 9eaa00e81f the voice, Ryubeom’s vision 1d9f0bb5c2 cleared. It was Yeohwi. He was looking f991ac8897 at Ryubeom with 8ca52a1931 eyes like the 9b1c73ebd8 setting sun.

The “path” Ryubeom had seen had become faint. The sticky darkness that had enveloped the entire house was now fragile, like glass about to shatter. The path Ryubeom had walked was the “memory.” This meant that the woman’s will was fading, signaling that she was about to become a fully malevolent spirit.d02bf2acc66b78cc
The woman 2109bd5c8a had already 5cb109217a absorbed evil 92ad4ce5ec spirits to d0488fa637 her limit, 5773bdbf01 barely holding d85de9037a onto her d927a40a93 sanity.

Yeohwi said with 3a39229af7 concern. He too 19fcab1fc8 seemed to ea3d278614 have seen c985d58073 the memories 7ec115c5a4 with Ryubeom, 7239edb463 as his c063123ed8 gaze towards c1b7333fa2 the second 8af1791202 floor, where 0d017b8dee Kwon Namil d7c3746531 was, was 8d2dff38bc icy.5baf1f63c42cc4bc

Yeohwi’s analysis was sound. The reason the woman had stayed in Hyojomyeon for the past decade was because Na Gyeong was bound to that place. She couldn’t leave, and her search for Kwon Namil had been limited to brief glances.75e799854d1d341a
But if the child’s soul completely disappeared, the woman would have no reason to hesitate. Driven by an even greater urge to kill, she would seek out Kwon Namil, and even his protective amulet wouldn’t be able to withstand her grudge. Moreover, Kwon Namil had already attracted numerous vengeful spirits elsewhere, making him a prime target.b8b2092f20dea8ef

Without hesitation, Ryubeom pushed 67f0331970 Yeohwi downward.

Ryubeom knew that the 5873e2a151 bracelet Yeohwi was wearing 2ffc8f4c77 had powerful protective energy, ade5232601 but he had a dc6361f56f strong intuition that the 61c3ffdcf5 path ahead was dangerous.

Ryubeom didn’t stop running 278c24a85c across the thin ice a3b6da087a of his memories. He had to get 4b847368ca to the second floor, 426617fe24 where the child and 74342636d0 the lady were. The physical distance from db43bb967e the garden to the 53f8c47bd9 second floor wasn’t that 30b0ba1335 far, yet the path 518ec200c1 kept stretching longer, precarious 3e24b758f6 and perilous.b0d1dc07f6391983
[Stay back!]
The lady screamed shrilly. Hugging the child 619eb6f688 tightly, she glared 4d8496fee5 at Ryubeom as 9b9f52cc17 he raced up 772a6760ea to the second 023d58ff58 floor, then fled db68855d33 into the sky. Kwon Namil was pulled 06ed63360c up with them, and 5fcebca854 a dark aura swirled cdc83df138 around them, forming a 0dc4798216 hemisphere in midair. It was acc00d211b a place 0952f4befd of protection 5318584fac for them.c94a51f55d371d03

It was a path he might die on. But more than that fear, Ryubeom was seized by a more intense curiosity. Questions he couldn’t shake off followed one after another.89ac2af44b02c643

He understood the mother’s heart, who felt sorry for her child wandering aimlessly, lost and turned into an evil spirit.

Nakyung had been looking for this jewelry box from the beginning. That’s why she wandered around the mansion, even after becoming a vengeful spirit due to the villa explosion. But the one place Nakyung couldn’t enter was Kwon Namil’s room.d51cbd965909c3e0
Because it was a place she could never approach in life, if she got too close, she would immediately be shot with a BB gun and have to run away. The fear from that time lingered deeply, so even as a lingering spirit, she couldn’t bring herself to explore this place. After half of her soul was exorcised, she couldn’t come near it even more.2f53fab4fb782cc8

Ryubeom felt it when he first discovered Nakyung here. When he saw Nakyung on the stairs of the mansion’s first floor. She was in a state where it wouldn’t have been strange if she had already vanished, and the reason she had held on so far wasn’t because of the fear from the people the lady offered as sustenance… but because of the jewelry box. She was holding on with that single grudge.59473cd5fdd238a2

[Thanks to you, the child didn’t leave as an evil spirit.]
Though her voice carried a faint self-deprecation as she admitted she hadn’t understood her child’s heart even as a mother, in the end, she shook her head as if feeling relieved. Then, she asked Ryubeom for a favor…142a50ab924b340d
[Please make me disappear.]
“……That’s…”ca0b51909f73771d

Ryubeom hesitated. He knew he had f81343d55a to perform the exorcism 73e4e08d52 eventually, but now that d4a742d80e he was at the 54f624e194 end, his emotions were 27f9b84e25 complex.

Ryubeom replied calmly. He had noticed, given that the strange phenomena at Hyojomyeon had lasted for over ten years, yet there had been no loss of life during that time. To protect the child’s soul, the lady harvested the fear of people but refrained from using rough methods.4e9913ee1f6da153
She could have harvested fear more quickly by killing people, but she didn’t, and she even suppressed other spirits she absorbed to prevent them from doing anything excessive. Perhaps she refrained because taking a life would have turned her into an evil spirit, and she wanted to remain with the child as rationally as possible… or it might have been her innate nature.eb1319125d2b8ddd

All this was a 3286d81d61 cunning trap prepared to 0bec821134 draw out an outcast f7a933744a from the Tiger family. The master planned to 6c170f54f0 use him to bring 423dc888f7 about the downfall of 617d443e51 the Tiger family. It was cec57f0151 Yeohwi who 9b9db35b55 sent the 9f4878a5ac evil spirit 46083386fe to the 16791bb540 meeting place 2bb44b69b9 between the 07fd82bb2c Tiger family 6a74ad9c18 and humans 5eb6d8ed54 a few 24e93cab08 days ago.4857c9fcace93116

“Do you really think they entrusted him to actually fix it?” Yeohwi replied indifferently. The concerned tone he had once used in front of Ryubeom was gone, replaced by a voice full of mockery.9ea6a46d99c06dc8
Since coming to Hyojomeon, Yeohwi had discussed the demonic path with Ryubeom several times. Although Ryubeom hadn’t explained the background in detail, Yeohwi could roughly infer the situation from Ryubeom’s expressions and the events at Yeonggokbong.645119c413c46c0b

Telling a single beast to resolve the strange occurrences happening across the country was essentially a death sentence. If interpreted more charitably, it meant the clan expected him to keep a low profile while pretending to address the issue because the atmosphere within the clan was not favorable. But considering Ryubeom’s wish was tied to it, it was more likely the former.8728492e95f2d8d3
Ryubeom believed that if the demonic path were truly a serious and dangerous issue, the Tiger Clan would have intervened directly. Yeohwi had almost laughed at this. Ryubeom’s faith in and pride for the Tiger Clan were so great and naive that it was laughable.0d9be8e708f7ee33

The demonic path wasn’t opened due to their fault, so why would the Tiger Clan step up to take responsibility? From the moment they claimed to solve it, they would be accountable, and the eyes of other beast clans would be on them. Any failure or weakness shown would only tarnish their reputation.2f47c66fcf593e7a
Moreover, most powerful clans weren’t adversely affected by such problems and had their territories to protect. For the Tiger Clan, it was the vicinity of Gwanaksan and Yeonggokbong. They needed to focus their energy on managing their territory, so there was no reason to waste their spiritual power on problems in other lands.cd86ebe95d3ae93a

It wasn’t that they expected much from him. If they were serious about resolving the issue, the elders would have taken action, or at least assigned the task to other cousins. The intent was merely to show that they were concerned.2980e35a001f5c5c

A few 5183760f61 dozen minutes 0f5de30e3f earlier, when 7dd2cb89f8 the commotion 9e71de4f71 was at 68860c37f8 its peak, 1f64d70eba Garim had f540a3fdcf been warned 2cddb484d0 by Ryubeom bdf57fea0a not to 35e8df7e39 approach the 280ab261bc house. Even without 94aea50ac4 spiritual vision, 34c1beb330 she could c27ae4559e tell something df1cc94060 was wrong 71326891ea with the ea2be5fe5f house.

But she was too 0cf5671d23 worried and cautiously entered 2647ea6945 the house.

So, holding tightly onto 222647b660 the yellow norigae (a 51cc11992d traditional Korean ornament) that d461bb04af Ryubeom had given her 59b68b4e50 as a precaution, she 66cb4d54f6 snuck in.
