He threatened to kill the ghost. He held up a kitchen knife and aimed it at the girl ghost’s neck. Sarah said that ghosts are not frightened by swords, but by the energy of the person holding the sword. Surprisingly, the girl ghost seemed terrified after hearing my sincere threat.

━━Tap! Slurp! widely! Slurp!

The girl’s ghost has disappeared. He let go of the hand he was holding on to and started to back away. Even the sight of him stepping back was extremely bizarre. It was like moving in the opposite direction, touching the ground with bent limbs, as if rewinding a video.

The girl’s ghost that crossed the gate disappeared in the blink of an eye, like an insect.

We succeeded in driving out the ghost that had been tormenting us so much.

“Hehe.”

Sarah burst out laughing and looked at me.

“The ghost got scared when it saw you. A 10-year-old ghost was weighed down by your energy and completely ran away.”

Sarah was looking at me with a very interested expression. I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad that a girl who can see ghosts is interested in me. While holding the kitchen knife, I asked Sarah something I was curious about.

“What happened to the girl’s ghost? Where did you run away?”

“He must have gone back to school. No need to worry. Ghosts can’t touch your friend anymore. Now, I will achieve Buddhahood as originally planned.”

“So Joo-hyuk is safe?”

“Your friend is safe.”

We succeeded in saving Joo-hyuk. I finally put the kitchen knife on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. I was wondering what would happen if the ghost I saw earlier didn’t get tired of it and kept targeting Joo-hyuk.

“Hey, guys! You mean it’s all over now?”

Joo-hyuk, who was listening to us, burst into tears and asked a question.

I smiled and said to Joo Hyuk.

“Yeah, it’s all over, dude.”

“Wow! Thank you so much! I thought I was going to die!”

Joo-hyuk, who came back from the dead, bowed his head to us and thanked us. It was the first time in our friendship that I had seen that big guy bow his head to someone else. Anyway, since I saved my friend’s life, I didn’t feel too bad.

Sarah asked me.

“But I have something to ask.”

“Huh?”

“How did you know that the ghost’s name was Park Eun-seo? I wouldn’t have even taught you.”

“I looked through the school newspapers in the newspaper department. 10 years ago, Park Eun-seo’s name and photo appeared in a newspaper. I found it after searching through about 20 volumes.”

“20 volumes? You are quite persistent.”

The current time is 1 am.

I stayed up too late chasing out ghosts.

Sarah let me and Joohyuk sleep at her house.

“Everyone worked hard. You can sleep at my house. The guest room is empty, so you can sleep there.”

“Do you have a guest room in your house?”

“Because my house is spacious. And because of my mom’s work, there are a lot of guests with special stories staying at my house.”

When it comes to Sarah’s mother’s job, she was talking about being a shaman.

We put away things like kitchen knives and dishes and entered Sarah’s house. In one corner of the large house, there was a separate room reserved for guests. There was even a large adult bed, so Joo-hyuk and I were able to sleep there. As an aside, Sarah slept separately in her own room.

After spending the night like that, the morning dawned.

The next day was the weekend.

Joohyuk and I left Sarah’s house and went back to our own homes.

When I went to school early in the morning after the weekend, I was able to meet Sarah in the classroom.

“Hello?”

“Hello.”

Sarah was standing near the desk at the back of the classroom.

This is the unclaimed desk where the dead Park Eun-seo was clinging to.

They said that the ghost that ran away after being scared by me last time went back to school. So does that mean there are still ghosts in the classroom? I looked around the classroom, but I couldn’t see the girl’s ghost that I saw then.

“Didn’t you say that the ghost went back to school yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“But why can’t I see anything with my eyes? If you go back to school, shouldn’t you see a ghost here?”

“During the weekend, I came to the classroom and made Buddha Buddha.”

Have you already achieved Buddhahood?

Although I missed the opportunity to see a ghost, I wasn’t particularly disappointed this time. Because it was a ghost that tried to kill people.

“Nothing will happen in our class now. Things like someone stabbing you in the back or hearing auditory hallucinations.”

“What happens if a ghost appears again?”

“Then something bad will happen again.”

The girl’s ghost attained Buddhahood.

From that day on, the strange things that were happening in our class really stopped. No one was stabbed in the back, and no one heard hallucinations telling them to play together.

A case that had been harassing the class for a month had been resolved.

*

From then on, time passed and it was April.

I became friends with the kids in my class who I used to ignore, and my school life was going without any problems.

However, in the midst of my peaceful daily life, I had one worry.

‘I don’t see any ghosts.’

I don’t see the ghost again. I actually saw a girl’s ghost at Sarah’s house the other day. Since then, there has been no visible ghost, perhaps because the slightly opened ear door has closed. I occasionally looked around for psychic spots that I could visit, but there was no gain.

A store said to be haunted.

A mountain behind in the middle of the night.

A neglected abandoned house.

Etc.

Although I walked around many places late at night, I was fine. In this way, the ear gate may close and never open again. As time passed and I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t help but become anxious.

‘Where can I see ghosts?’

I was in trouble at school. As I was looking to the side without thinking, I saw a girl with silver hair fluttering in my field of vision. At that moment, a thought flashed in my head.

‘Maybe we can see each other again when we go to Sarah’s house?’

At the time, the only place where I experienced psychic phenomena was Sarah’s house. If it happened once, it could happen twice. Maybe I could see a ghost again at Sarah’s house.

“Hey, Kang Sera. Can I come over to your house today?”

“What… ? Why do you come to my house to play?”

“I’m not just going out to have fun. I really want to spend the night at your house.”

When I immediately asked her to let me sleep, Sarah reacted with embarrassment. I talked to Sarah a lot during the month, but we weren’t close enough to go to each other’s houses yet. Moreover, since Sarah was a girl, she had no choice but to be shy.

“What kind of boarding house is our house? Are you going to sleep as you please?”

“I haven’t seen a ghost again since I saw it in your house last time. So, I want to hang out at your house and spend the night. The shaman’s house is a place rich in spiritual energy, so you might see it again.”

“What is the reason? You are a really strange kid.”

Sarah shook her head as if she couldn’t understand my situation. To be honest, I thought he would refuse. Surprisingly, Sarah allowed me to come home.

“You can come to my house. Buy snacks instead.”

“I’ll buy it. Do you have any parents at home?”

“Parents come back tomorrow. So, until today, we are the only ones at home.”

“Are your parents finally coming?”

Sarah’s parents, who were away due to work, said they would return home tomorrow. In that case, today was my only chance to sleep over at Sarah’s house. I’ll have to keep an eye on Sarah’s parents when they come home.

” Just in case, don’t bring Joo-hyuk. It’s really hard to wake him up in the morning.”

“Don’t worry, Joo-hyuk won’t come even if you ask him to. He’ll never want to go to your house again, right?”

As a side note, Joo-hyuk, whom we rescued, was going to school just fine.

It was a good thing because I was no longer tormented by ghosts.

after school.

I bought a lot of snacks from the convenience store with Sarah and went to her house.

It was the shaman’s house with the red and white flags that I saw last time.

A luxurious two-story house with a yard.

We went into the house, immediately took off our bags and started playing.

“Sera. What do you usually do for fun? He said he was home alone because his parents were busy.”

“Watching a movie on TV.”

Sarah, who was often alone at home, seemed to have a hobby of watching movies.

We decided to watch a movie on the large wall-mounted TV in the living room.

“What movies do you like?”

“Get off Disney or Pixar.”

“I think I’m doing it now.”

At that time, a movie that Sarah would like was playing on the movie channel. A movie called was just starting. We watched a movie with a platinum-blonde princess while eating snacks.

[Let it go!!!!!!! Leave the store!!!!!]

It was a movie filled with powerful songs. It was a movie where a platinum-haired princess sang well.

When the movie ended, Sarah expressed her impressions with a very moved expression.

“It’s a masterpiece after all! Even though I watched it again, I never got tired of it.”

“Huh? Have you seen this movie?”

“It’s a famous movie, so of course I saw it. It’s already the third time I’ve seen it, but I’m still impressed.”

Sarah lifted her sleeve and wiped her moist eyes. It seems that he really likes movies, as he was moved even after watching the same movie three times.

“Let it go! Leave it alone!”

Sarah hummed the song even after the movie ended.

“Jinwoo, please do that.”

“What?”

“Ask me to build a snowman with you.”

“Uh, do you want to make it together?”

“I hate it!”

“Okay, hello… .”

“Ugh!”

After chatting and watching a few more movies, it was already night.

I didn’t really experience any psychic phenomena, but it was a fun day.

“It’s time to sleep. You can sleep in the guest room you stayed in last time.”

Both Sarah and I were sleepy and were about to go to sleep.

Suddenly, Sarah’s cell phone rang.

Listening to what Sarah said when she answered the phone, it seemed like the call came from her parents.

“Hello. huh! mom. Why?”

Sarah’s face, as she was holding her cell phone and talking on the phone with her parents, gradually became embarrassed.

“What? Mom and Dad are coming home now? Work ended earlier than expected… ?”
