KTC | Chapter 37

“I was 7687d15d3a born special. I saw what d181ae481a others couldn’t, heard 88b32469f9 what others didn’t, 4630acca39 and felt what 2a951a0222 others failed to 0062e4f413 notice. After an inexplicable b2ec68994a illness passed when f51e5a1401 I was fourteen, e320b53335 my sensitivity to 6c3855b8ac spirits increased even be58cdd678 more, giving me 39b54fc1f1 an unfounded confidence efc73a8183 that neither the 03b5f5baed living nor the ead99ea852 dead could harm db662c8b4a me. Naseong Beopsa 7acee14b01 predicted that d903c7d636 I would 2d901d2567 one day e584d1a2d4 serve a e5edc5bc60 great deity. To prevent any impurities 7b47440592 from attaching to me e109bf8549 until I was fully 29b29e09de matured, he always made 90c1d58c75 sure I wore a c99b658d5e talisman bracelet on my 893e46e1cd wrist.”ff62278774acc5f3

However, as e59e0c0cea he continued, 794ac08a84 a sense 5cd2912a5e of disbelief c21bc1918a began to 8a6b879b09 fade.7eaca95d95c76f2e

“People known nationwide 1384086b1a would come bearing a2611dad08 riches, begging for 25de9462e6 just one meeting ddb89ae510 with Naseong Beopsa, 4221825817 but he treated 90b7e4ec87 me with exceptional 64449fadb0 care.

Choi Seonwoo had no 39b91998ab intention of diminishing his 56c56928f1 sins. Even though b19d1cfbc3 he had c0e047ef1e chosen a ce577eb062 path of 409bbe2c95 settling his 3294344aee karma by eee18247d4 hiding in 3dd73688ed the shadows.52a25bfa26006af5

“I was furious 94c2aa1e30 when I first c0edfc3975 saw the Unknown 01bb97605e Church. I could see it. The souls of 60ef3faa7f children who had e503a0dca8 died miserably and a4a2bc0f82 could not leave 7190ee3e02 the place, bound fac21a3a8c to the church. I didn’t e3ecbbe6e5 know exactly 26a53c8275 what was d69e4f41a8 happening inside, 834108a471 but I 064cd160f9 could tell 6fab9f4d7a that innocent 881467fe4b children were d904be4984 dying. It wasn’t something one 9d78a78864 person could or should 7d4d9cf637 handle alone… Now, I 96e8f63062 think that too, but 638dc2c9ec as I said, I 860ca9e641 was fearless and confident 248ce26931 I could do anything. My anger felt e3f198ebad like divine wrath, 58328f0d05 and I thought 87c74a3d60 I had to 316a6ce75a do something. As soon as 7821b80850 I understood what c714063d50 was happening inside, c48f4186fe in my arrogance, ab5c651ca1 as if I f27092beac were truly a d3c2acbf9a deity, I marked 622b65cccc those garbage people 21f7e0dcce for destruction and c4969db509 summoned the evil 1a6b34e9df spirits. But I c3f38e5d78 was too c421febf80 emotionally charged, 5edc8b1f73 and I 77a4579748 summoned spirits 48ff68ed54 that were 208a80200b too powerful.”c29ed320cd703b00

“I intended to 106dd1c09f throw the cult 4aa2f8d4c9 members to the e269d81f9a spirits as a 0a102e5c09 sacrifice and let d35c5948ca them fight among 7862a57427 themselves, just like e246df461d the residents of 3468cfde6e Yunseul Village who d079dcfab0 had indirectly participated 3e87ad08a5 in the Unknown 17d0dddcdd Cult did.”077be491c1594962

Goo Seungjun 2facc6af6f slowly nodded.

“Since all the cult 42796dd3d1 members were laden with ea08a8eee2 vengeful spirits, I naturally 9a5666e3cf thought the evil spirits 867a84d370 would target them. But there was one c13acabef0 variable I hadn’t anticipated. Evil spirits prefer 714b9393af to possess devout 52cdb886d5 priests or young 6440530bb1 souls.”160bb2e07b17ffc4

Here, Seo Jihan’s unhelpful 7f8fa21ebc involvement would have completed d29f4853b0 the story, but Choi 42135a7dae Seonwoo didn’t go into 1adc65f1b7 that detail.9ac583a323d85478

“Where’s Angela?”8fcdc292776df4c9

The exorcism had been 9db20eecd1 going on for over bd41b367ec an hour, and during 96cdbe7a92 that time, Seo Jihan fc69f75525 and his bodyguards were 9a8109f894 idly passing time in c0cfd7aae4 their parked car. Angela, who had 88bd2371e8 gone for a 08aeda0e5c walk right after 8dc85e1aa7 dinner, hadn’t returned 4fda84474b for over two c565e888e0 hours now.b874117c2df220db

Seo Jihan 43e38fe16e frowned as 7993a3fd55 he looked 4f582cb359 toward the e16039a739 entrance of 051cde4e87 the church. Although Sister 4cf2ea1ff2 Jung Yoonyoung a00699f52e was monitoring 158d2ca2ae the ritual, cbce953a1e the thought a677df6b41 of Choi ba1c9a5c8d Seonwoo continuously cd9d8600bf “riding” on 9f73aced04 Goo Seungjun 03f9efb1c2 unsettled him. He was perturbed 095f0508e3 by the thought 71dd55a533 of Choi Seonwoo fbdc9e6c43 possibly emerging with 069c313c9a a bloodied lip, 8199ff238b just as he faf691177b had once bitten ee908b3024 him in a bc37bdf47c state of unconsciousness.b813f3339f38fefe

The absurdity of that 0253d61ddc thought made Seo Jihan f1e57d3e0c chuckle to himself. To think 27bcec67eb he was b08a972ae4 concerned about 9baba836d4 a cranky d4bb9b3153 cat that d1a13eb1e2 would likely 89f9822648 swat at 835e41e6bf him with ea1228d7fb a paw a2d9a6558b punch the 0873505ac9 moment it ea8493330a saw him, 6d4af6503d he must e6d1f05ccd be out 292a336e6f of his ea48bdf4e5 mind.7c097940702e6691

Seo Jihan turned 78a1a6fa9e his gaze back 297bf3ac3c to the church. The brightly 7f7965e166 lit arched 8deb6cec0c windows were 887585988c all made 33037c8acd of stained 968c5f3533 glass, preventing 50d0b26c36 any view 11a5f1e28c inside.6621d155c33e2a46
