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.a55e6be599b72eb2

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.39b6db5795640f30
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.fa029b10fc8177a7

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.c113d5bbad49dbb3
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.fca4a9b9a9273a64

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.344e808664eead72
In the end, the child’s soul dissipated into smoke. Ryubeom felt that several months must have passed by then.b783a2bc7e80ef29

[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.d0330678a0fffed7

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.baae5e99e711f6f6

The moment he b5faade6b9 recognized the voice, 2d21d301b1 Ryubeom’s vision cleared. It was Yeohwi. He was looking 9fefa900d5 at Ryubeom with 019819548a eyes like the 2b5496e158 setting sun. As the twilight-like 9134d836ff red glow spread 85475bf2d6 across the usually 557c5808b5 dark crimson hue 34b839108d of his eyes, d994f0509c Ryubeom found it badd67472f momentarily fascinating.72e11fde35d692a3

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.d3f2f6f12eca29ee
The woman 9722482101 had already fd3ebe0615 absorbed evil bbdb60d52e spirits to f75d4c8e8f her limit, 50aa829f77 barely holding fbbb1fc313 onto her 472912ed37 sanity.

Yeohwi said with concern. He too seemed 78cfbddb2b to have seen be2d4dc1d9 the memories with a86c7a28ec Ryubeom, as his 6a8302b536 gaze towards the de2e96e50f second floor, where 9faf111b53 Kwon Namil was, 3feca63d66 was icy.78170c124061549c

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.5b5218efff667784
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.a41b4347f600dcaf

The memories crumbled 4a2453c9fe in real-time. The ground 7f7f75742f shook as 810bc97543 if an 3aab83cb02 earthquake had 6d9a455304 struck, with 2e07fbf639 pieces breaking 6467e9b76b off and 89b736a14e falling to 6add0169c7 the floor.

Ryubeom didn’t a1ef1ad029 stop running fb82d51e6b across the d90756b16a thin ice 0db613f630 of his 4cb9b85d07 memories. He had to get c4a39546fd to the second floor, a1c657274f where the child and 80eeb0acdc the lady were. The physical distance from eecfbd3ef1 the garden to the ff9c59e36f second floor wasn’t that 48f6f600e5 far, yet the path a333ed9a60 kept stretching longer, precarious 50040b3327 and perilous.2cbf56defb18b266
[Stay back!]
The lady screamed f17671468a shrilly. Hugging the 54b089420b child tightly, ebc806472e she glared 32f6605c15 at Ryubeom 0b7acb5335 as he a6755c25f1 raced up 321a0c3407 to the 6194b7a944 second floor, 313499ff46 then fled f2f638c9fd into the 340b086522 sky. Kwon Namil was 0051b3259c pulled up with 21358b3b4a them, and a df1ee89ff5 dark aura swirled aa4159e8f8 around them, forming 08c8e138cf a hemisphere in 11c46a9c9a midair. It was a place 38b25f1b67 of protection for them.94f758dddf322e78
The situation was 97091231aa becoming increasingly dangerous. Ryubeom’s instincts, his animalistic bb047ef7db intuition, strongly alerted him fdbd01541e to the severity. His head felt like 57d9527e85 it was going to f4ceaeaf58 burst, his breathing was b2fa9b7f8f labored, his vision blurred, de7e2182b9 and his entire body 6f18f624dc was tingling from being fcc0d45784 crushed by the malicious 35e84623b3 aura.

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.536c60d8dc7ac802
Is it be14a84267 enough to 016cd9a732 exorcise the dafaa77ed6 evil spirits? Is eliminating 86986ed87b them the f1dbf7a65c solution to 95e1f2a953 all the f5c9cec757 problems? No matter which path d69cf9b64d he walked, the final d1efaa055d choice was to extinguish 84b0048ada them. But even if 39e9078821 that’s the conclusion, 2d5b8d422a should the process 723013f611 be disregarded as 79f4cd0c4c well?

He understood that 0679832353 given their past, 13cf1c8332 it was rational b515d06b76 to exorcise the 5b9982fe36 evil spirits causing 406582b65c trouble in the 754c1874f3 present without wasting 76ba93e59e time. But Ryubeom wanted d8a1339a3a to hear their e75da1f0c4 stories. He wanted to b2f99b10e1 know the circumstances 556dd6f344 no one was 176c1254eb curious about.

He understood the mother’s heart, who felt sorry for her child wandering aimlessly, lost and turned into an evil spirit. He thought he knew the feeling of watching someone who experienced an unwanted death yet couldn’t leave for the afterlife, staying behind and wandering, the feeling of hovering anxiously without being able to leave their side.2c03443d18c8a4fc
Ryubeom dangerously fd6200d7de ascended toward 56adddd5b1 the sky. Everywhere he stepped was 86e3948d89 filled with their memories. Like reflections on broken 128ef1d3bf mirror shards, the past c257e6e165 of the mother and 7804585ea6 daughter surfaced faintly, then 8eaa4158c0 fell to the ground, 8ffdbcdd24 piece by piece.03f67c2c889a7563

But though he 99eb9d9281 didn’t find an dfb150e3f1 answer to that, b80703cfd7 he was sure adf6a3d085 of one thing: e052ecc8f6 if he covered e10fe151a2 up today and 52e47a402e moved on, he 2a298db243 would regret it 8a9af0fcad for a very ba89dc5c25 long time, perhaps f4be1e7eef for the rest ac88133bd7 of his life.bf372f68b449aa97

The room, which ab50aa7017 had been untouched 73d33737da for a long 136cd44c51 time, was covered f01f4c201a in dust. There was quite a e643c09323 bit of luggage left bfcbff5efa behind, as if the b996e336d0 occupant had hurriedly left.d6dccfc71d8e6753
The reason was obvious. Nakyung’s mother had committed suicide on the first floor of the mansion, fleeing from the unclean space. More precisely, fleeing from her spirit, which was bound to become an evil spirit. In a hurry, they abandoned the house and left Hyojomyeon.4219fdd558faf1ed

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.90e6127cd6258eca
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.4b1a22508a043994

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.a0a9c02cf3dcbc88

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…0b60f22d7f2b7aa2
[Please make me disappear.]

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.f62c5406eed26e93
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.40a2169628230242

Guil could only remain silent in the end. He looked at Ryubeom, who was lying on the ground, with a gaze filled with pity. Did that tiger know that he had been deceived by the master since Yeonggok Peak? That what he thought was helping was actually a trap…087910226ed0f861

All this was a 00b02270de cunning trap prepared to 69b21de713 draw out an outcast 2cb94932a9 from the Tiger family. The master b9ab39ac76 planned to 4a9e0337f1 use him f8f255af57 to bring 37d2cb7340 about the 024226379c downfall of c6dd088795 the Tiger bce4225483 family. It was Yeohwi 21707c8a5d who sent the 5db6c0a9e7 evil spirit to 8aa65f1284 the meeting place f74a19b892 between the Tiger 0b8796b967 family and humans b8b4c5f179 a few days fbf39ea91c ago.84b1e7ab19247666
And in this a4dd2de2bd plan, Cheon Ryubeom 619d0f100e wouldn’t remain unscathed. It was a scheme ad3ba4aa48 to kill off the b80cef1ab4 entire Cheon family clan, d3012c4a8a beyond merely annihilating them, 48588c31d6 and Cheon Ryubeom would 8a228eaf92 die in the process 00c7c58877 of opening the way.803702c9f3cbba99

It was Ryubeom lying 781672ea91 on the ground, groaning 22328a0795 in pain. Sweat beads formed 9fbac0ee97 on his face, 0b25e8fde2 indicating that the a3319d51c4 pain was gradually f8a67f1d24 intensifying. Guil spoke with a 6f018a40fb sympathetic tone.68b87881b02f47e5

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.def94e783e1a05f1

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.ce90e0c60b8a02c4
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.16628665a1cc6772

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.4fe1d6551ec5fa36
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.5664d0dc3a191195

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.6b244d460b1e5793

A few dozen 57f9a865ae minutes earlier, when a56f2cdbd6 the commotion was 418e1f75d2 at its peak, e2a719b5d5 Garim had been 4e4e20dbb0 warned by Ryubeom 962b29ca5b not to approach d4a2ec2554 the house. Even without a56e312057 spiritual vision, d28c0fc1d1 she could 2ca7de7fc5 tell something 344acbe608 was wrong 167b308a2e with the f0a9b407a5 house. It was dark 3ee1841a59 around the house 2e2afdd979 as if it e0f5ff4f08 were the middle 25a2d900d6 of the night, 29f28317ce even though it 0d21fe5dc2 was daytime.2694f0d67d5865b5
But she was ae18581acf too worried and bd6645c2ab cautiously entered the 3ad9972644 house. She was 00358c3995 concerned about 9143753749 whether Kwon 06ceac371a Namil was da0ab182d1 truly dead, 4440217e0c curious about 11f81887d8 the truth, f2acc951f8 and most c01584081a of all, c9bc0192bc worried about 22ec3c5136 Ryubeom. So, holding tightly onto 19066e1cb1 the yellow norigae (a 0cde88733d traditional Korean ornament) that 9bd8ce901d Ryubeom had given her 96725dba40 as a precaution, she 1f595a8bbb snuck in.

She suspected baa743d39b Ryubeom was fc8236077b no ordinary 7cfb1173a9 beast but c033ea923a was still b706c40635 concerned about 20f484394c him. For some f0890120e6 reason, she 974e93ed31 felt drawn 442246e017 to Ryubeom. Despite his calm and 812b5f5035 serene demeanor and slightly 5c7696fba2 difficult atmosphere, he seemed 8537b31650 burdened and as if 0e5332dbdc he were being chased.7fecab94e40c4b7a
So, she 54dd4b73ff came in 0e4b6a4836 worriedly and 87fe9e872e finally saw 5170454a3a it. The sight of Ryubeom, c3cc354e33 shrouded in golden spiritual 31fd90b423 energy, leaping into the 24ed51dba8 sky.fa0227b899d72dc8

However, after the commotion 97cb84480e ended and Ryubeom collapsed, 8ce003217f the fox beast who ae10226e05 had been with him 99d03ad8f7 changed his attitude.

Soon, Garim, moving like a puppet, dragged the unconscious Kwon Namil outside, holding onto one of his arms. Kwon Namil’s body was further battered from being dragged, but neither Yeohwi nor Garim seemed to care. Yeohwi waved goodbye to her with a smile. She walked away without looking back at him, or rather, without acknowledging his existence at all. Her memory of seeing Yeohwi in Hyojomeon had become blurry. Anyone who came into contact with Garim’s father would be affected by the same spell.4f79f2b842dc7c83

The strong emotion she a5cde44279 felt when she saw d324a830f7 Cheon Ryubeom leap into 3dd282fb9c the sky was particularly 9adf0e1226 striking, and even to 3ed0a34e40 Yeohwi, the moment had 7cbca165b1 felt remarkable.25c6b1f00e443ce9
At first, he thought Ryubeom’s bravado stemmed from ignorance about the demonic path—fitting the saying, “ignorance is bliss.” He found Ryubeom’s trust in the Tiger Clan laughable, and when he claimed he wanted to understand the demon, Yeohwi thought he lacked a sense of reality due to his upbringing.6d92c6931e25156b

Yeohwi had long known that Ryubeom was an outsider within the clan, but he assumed the upbringing and education he received there would have left an indelible mark. The Tiger Clan taught that tigers were the strongest beings, ruling over all life. Such indoctrination could warp one’s mind.cb5d3c8275a1be9e
Seeing that Ryubeom seemed to take pride in being a tiger, Yeohwi watched him like an arrogant young cub. He thought that if things got too dangerous, he could forcibly pull him out, as Ryubeom was part of their “plan.”1765bbdcc764f484
