episode_0077
by fnovelpiaAre you going to make looking at the list something that never happened?
Is such a thing really possible?
“Would the Grim Reaper negotiate with the fairy? They didn’t even seem to listen to what we said.”
For a day, we tried hard to talk to the Grim Reaper.
The Grim Reaper didn’t even pretend to hear us.
“Don’t worry about negotiations. You can leave it to me.”
However, Hongryeon had a relaxed expression, as if there was nothing difficult.
“Okay.”
Suddenly, I remembered Hongryeon’s identity.
Hongryeon was the daughter of the Jade Emperor.
It can be said that she is a princess of the Heavenly Way with a noble status. Even during her past life experience, the power of Hongryeon, who appeared from heaven with countless servants in tow, was no joke. So doesn’t that mean that he is a powerful person who can make even birds flying in the sky fall?
Does it mean that even the Grim Reaper can be defeated with just one word from Hongryeon?
I was curious, so I quietly asked Hongryeon.
“The fairy is the daughter of the Jade Emperor. So you can’t even mess with the Grim Reaper? Even though I looked at the list, I said I could do something that didn’t exist, right?”
“It doesn’t mean you can’t touch it. When both I and His Majesty Sangje die someday, messengers will come and retrieve our souls. Because death is fate. Everyone is equal in front of a predetermined fate.”
Do spirits also receive guidance from a messenger when they die?
I learned an interesting fact.
“But wouldn’t it be effective to tell the Grim Reaper the fairy’s name? How about telling her not to touch Princess Hongryeon because she is in attendance?”
Hongryeon looked straight at me and added.
“It is a serious matter for the grim reapers that the contents of the list have been leaked. I don’t think I’ll grant you a favor just by selling my name.”
“Then?”
“I have to take action myself.”
Just mentioning Hongryeon’s name wasn’t enough.
I had no choice but to trust Hongryeon when she said I had to come forward myself. If you were threatened by the Grim Reaper, which was no different from a natural disaster, you had to borrow the power of the gods to defeat it.
“So, please take good care of Sarah so that we can contact her again. The reception will soon be over.”
“Are you leaving already? There’s more. If we stay together like this, we can meet the Grim Reaper.”
“Time is up.”
Soon the reception ended.
Hongryeon’s soul escaped from Sarah’s body.
“Huh.”
It was Sarah’s personality that took over the body again.
Sarah, who stumbled for a moment, regained her balance and opened her mouth.
Sera clearly remembered what Hongryeon said just moments ago.
“Tell me to contact you… ?”
“Yes, Sarah. When the Grim Reaper comes, you can call the fairy just in time. Then the fairy will solve everything.”
Even though she figured out a way to survive, Sarah’s expression wasn’t so bright.
Sarah sighed.
“If I could have contacted you at will, I would have done so a long time ago. I’ve never been really successful until now.”
“You just contacted me, right? Is that success or what?”
“I didn’t contact you of my own volition. I can’t control the timing, and the connection is cut off at will, so how can I call it a success?”
In fact, until now, Sarah has never contacted anyone of her own volition. This was because he was not yet able to control the phenomenon of possession by accepting God into his body. So, even when I went to exorcise, I did not receive help from Hongryeon.
But now Sarah’s feet are on fire.
If she did not contact her in time, the Grim Reaper would kill Sarah.
I said, holding Sarah’s shoulder.
“Then I guess I can succeed at this opportunity. Show the grim reaper who the spirit you serve is.”
“I’ll try.”
Sarah nodded with a nervous expression. The only way to survive anyway was to call Hongryeon. There was no choice not to contact me; it was a matter of success or failure.
Time passed and morning dawned.
After drinking coffee and dozing off, we called our homeroom teacher.
It was to tell them that they couldn’t go to school today.
I was being chased by the Grim Reaper and it wasn’t a situation where I could go to school.
Of course, if I were to be honest and bring up the story of the Grim Reaper, I would be treated like a weirdo.
There was a need to cover it appropriately.
[hello.]
“Teacher Yura! This is Jinwoo.”
[Jinwoo. What’s going on this morning?]
I deliberately coughed loudly and pretended to be sick.
“Cough! Cough! teacher… I’m in a lot of pain right now. I caught a cold while playing in the pool yesterday. Cough! Cough!”
[Wow, Jinwoo! Are you okay?]
“It’s not okay at all… . I feel like I’m dying, so I’m going to take a break from school just for today. And Sarah can’t go to school because she’s sick.”
[You and Sarah are both sick? Really?]
“It’s true. It’s strong, so I’m next to you right now and I’ll change it for you.”
I handed the cell phone to Sarah.
Sarah answered the phone and pretended to be sick as well.
“Etchwi!”
[Are you old?]
“Yes, teacher… . I caught a cold while playing with Jinwoo yesterday.”
[What on earth are they doing making a fuss? I understand, so get some rest. Don’t forget to get a parent’s opinion from your parents later.]
“Thank you… .”
Soon the call was disconnected.
I didn’t have to go to school today. If it was a parent’s opinion letter, all you had to do was get it directly from the parent or imitate their handwriting and make it.
For one day, Sarah was able to focus entirely on receiving contact.
“Jinwoo. I’ll wash up and come back.”
Sarah went into the bathroom and took a bath. It was to cleanse the body and mind in order to accept the Holy Spirit. After a while, Sarah came out of the bathroom and put on a pure white military uniform. Sarah, who had just taken a bath, smelled good.
“How will you call the fairy?”
“You have to pray and sing according to the rules.”
We went into the shrine, took out the shaman’s bell, and placed it on the altar.
The bell was a weapon that could be said to be the link between Sera and Hongryeon.
My job was to watch Sarah to make sure nothing dangerous happened.
Sarah began to pray, reciting a sutra asking the spirits to come.
Sarah’s voice reciting the sutra rang loudly throughout the shrine.
“6, 440,000 kidneys, 12 kidneys, left deputy marshal, right deputy marshal.
General Baekma, General Suun, General Roegong, General Yulroe, General Dae-eul, General Taeeulsin
Six-legged, six-armed, kidney, etc. are armored, Om-level Yeoulryeong.”
The type of scripture is Okbugyeong.
It is a sutra asking for the high gods of heaven to come.
It could be said to be the perfect scripture to summon Princess Hongryeon.
*
After that, Sarah sat in front of the altar and continued to pray. Except for the time when I had a simple meal, I prayed continuously from morning to evening. Since I was locked inside the shrine, there was no chance of getting hurt.
The sun that had risen in the sky fell again and the day became dark.
Outside the window, there was already a thick, ominous darkness.
I asked Sarah, who was putting her hands together in front of the altar, about the situation.
“How about a fairy? Do you think you will come?”
Sarah shook her head.
“There is no sign of it coming at all. There is no reaction in the body.”
“I prayed all day?”
“It is not a spirit that can be summoned that easily.”
It was a disaster.
Even though she prayed all day, Sarah was unable to summon Hongryeon of her own will.
It was unclear whether I would be able to contact him in time.
It was when I was anxiously watching Sarah inside the shrine.
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out from outside the house.
━━Rat!
It was the sound of the gate shaking violently. The rattling sound that wasn’t even caused by the wind blowing continued to echo. I couldn’t help but think it was the sound of someone pulling.
“I’ll go out and check. Do what you do.”
“Be careful. Jinwoo.”
Sarah was praying and was unable to move. It would be better for me to find out what happened outside.
To prepare for any unexpected situation, I packed a sword and a diamond sword.
I carefully went out into the yard. It was the yard of Hyehwadang, surrounded on all sides by high walls. The tightly closed iron gate was still rattling loudly.
“Who is there!”
I shouted loudly and called the person outside the gate.
At that moment, the ominous rattling of the gate suddenly stopped.
It suddenly became quiet and there was no sign of anyone outside.
‘Was the drunk guy playing a prank?’
Maybe it wasn’t the Grim Reaper, but a drunk person hitting the door and jumping out. I stared at the gate, holding a weapon in both hands. I was about to go home when nothing happened.
━━Kik Iik
A loud sound came from the stopped gate.
It was the sound of a gate that had been closed being forced open, as if it had been pushed by a huge force. The locks that locked the gate were broken. The latch that was tightly blocking the door from opening bent like a stick of taffy and then broke.
Finally, the front door was wide open.
A man in a coat walked leisurely into the yard holding an axe.
The situation I was worried about happened.
It was the Grim Reaper who visited Hyehwadang during the night.
“Stand there!”
The man in the coat didn’t respond to me.
I tried to silently enter the house while holding the axe.
The Grim Reaper never spared anyone who looked at the list. I heard that if misfortune fails to kill him, he will personally visit him and take him to the underworld.
That man must have come to kill Sarah himself.
I aimed my diamond sword at the man in the coat and recited a spell.
“Vajra.”
Electricity gathered in Geumgangjeo’s claws.
A large amount of electric current flowing through the claws converged into a single point in the air and glowed dazzlingly.
I had no intention of giving a warning or anything like that.
I fired a bolt of electricity at the man in the coat.
━━Pazizik
The attack was successful.
Geumgangjeo was a weapon with high lethality. It was Geumgangjeo’s lightning that blew a hole in the heads of the monsters in Chinatown. This means that it has high penetrating power and can kill even monsters by causing an electric shock.
However, the man in the coat was not hit at all.
Even though I clearly saw with my own eyes a dazzling electric shock pierce the man’s body.
“Get lost!”
I clenched my teeth and fired again. However, even after three more guesses, the man in the coat did not stop walking. I wasn’t pierced or electrocuted.
I confirmed that Geumgangjeo was not working.
It was my turn to at least use a knife.
He quickly pulled out his military sword and rushed at the man in the coat.
I attacked him right in front of him, but there was no reaction from the man at all.
I was just walking silently towards Sarah, who was inside the shrine.
I had to stop it somehow.
I stabbed the military knife into the chest of the man wearing the coat.
This was where the human heart would be.
The man in the coat did not avoid the military sword.
The military sword, curved like a curved sword, pierced the man’s chest.
The sensation of being stabbed through my skin was clearly felt in my hand.
‘Did they kill him?’
Could it be that I killed the Grim Reaper?
Even as I thought to myself, I felt a sense of disbelief.
It wasn’t killed either.
A pale hand came up and grabbed the blade of Gunungkkal.
The hand of the man in the coat pulled out the blade embedded in his body. Even when the knife was being pulled from his body, he showed no signs of pain.
There was no blood flowing from the man’s body.
There was only a tear mark left on the coat.
‘This is too much.’
It was an opponent that neither Geumgangjeo nor Gunungkkal could work against.
The man in the coat turned his head and looked at me with wide eyes.
