episode_0010

As soon as I realized that the delivery man was intending to attack me, my blood pressure rose to the point where the back of my neck felt stiff and my head began to spin rapidly.

what? Is it a robbery? Has the fact that I am a self-employed person already been rumored in the neighborhood?

“……”

I looked him up and down, but everywhere I looked he just looked like an ordinary delivery man.

‘A highly trained martial artist.’

‘Solid giant tree’

‘Deep-rooted old tree’

‘Symbol of rebirth and life’

‘At the moment, there is absolutely no way to win.’

“……”

The emotional eye seems to think a little differently.

I swallowed dry saliva without thinking, but consciously exhaled evenly to feign composure.

“……”

First of all, I don’t see anything that could be a weapon.

All I had in my hand was a bag of chicken with a fragrant, sweet smell.

The problem is that he still plans to attack me.

I don’t plan on hitting or swinging.

However, I don’t mean to stab or attack him.

‘I’m trying to shoot something.’

Even at this moment, I can clearly feel the diagonal line aimed at my eyebrows.

All you’re holding is a chicken, but you’re saying it’s a long-distance attack?

It is so heterogeneous that the function of the eye tattoo is questionable.

By the way, the eye tattoo is much better than I thought.

I had no idea it was possible to know such things in such detail.

“customer?”

“Oh, yes. Here.”

According to my feelings, the opponent I couldn’t defeat even if I confronted him head-on had an unidentifiable long-range weapon, so I carefully handed over the card so as not to provoke him for no reason and quietly got out of the line of fire.

“……”

However, the diagonal line slowly follows.

If it were a laser pointer, a red dot would have appeared between the eyebrows by now.

Even, two oblique lines were added to the solar plexus and abdomen.

To make matters worse, it’s not just one person?

I did my best to hide it, but I guess I looked quite suspicious in their eyes.

Beep beep!

As he swipes my card into the reader, a cheerful sound rings out.

“Whoa…”

The good news is that although there is hostility, there is no murderous intent.

Because of that, I was able to deduce their identities more calmly.

There is a possibility that there is a gang of professional robbers operating as a group in Korea, which is famous for its good security, and the possibility that the Paranormal Phenomena Management Bureau has come to visit me after noticing my abnormality.

There were only two that came to mind right away, but my reason and instinct were strongly pushing the latter.

“Here it is. Enjoy your meal~”

“Ah yes…”

The moment I was about to accept the bag of chicken he offered, my hair stood on end.

Now, here it comes!

“Sigh!”

I moved my body reflexively and ran into the house, pulling the front door open at the same time.

Seaaaa…!

Immediately after, something intangible, neither a bullet nor a tranquilizer bullet, passed by and produced blue smoke.

‘Ghost bullet. It has powerful hypnotic and paralyzing effects.’

Push!

It was sad to hear the sound of the uneaten chicken kissing the floor, but unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to worry about that now that I heard the results of the evaluation.

Hypnosis and paralysis at the same time? What kind of fraudulent bullets are there!?

“this…!”

The delivery man, who reacted half a beat late, belatedly stretched out his hand and inserted it into the gap in the door.

Quang!

“Ugh…!”

He hit his hand hard and made a groaning sound, but even then, he tried to pull the door open, giving me goosebumps.

Crunch!

I couldn’t fasten the lock, but I was able to fasten the door chain just in the nick of time.

Rattling!

“Damn it! Open this!”

“Now, wait a minute! Why don’t we try to resolve it through conversation?”

“Shut up and open it!”

Clang, clank, clank! Pudddeuk!

His strength is so strong that he screams as if a thin chain will be torn apart at any moment.

“shit…!”

I hurriedly ran into the room, locked the door, and opened the point shop.

First of all, what I needed most now was status abnormality resistance and mental resistance.

“That’s right, now I know what’s what…!”

Fortunately, Emotional Eyes kindly informed me about the effect of skills whose meaning I did not know and whether they were positive or negative.

While I was busy rolling my eyes, I was able to find a skill that was perfect for me.

[Cry of despair, pain, and grief: 100 points]

‘A scream filled with the karma and hatred of someone who has achieved a great feat’

‘Even if it is in a state containing transcendental power, it can be removed immediately. All actions that affect the mind and soul can be excluded, regardless of whether they are real or non-substantial. It leaves a profound impact on the listener. It creates terrible resentment, but on the contrary, it is very useful.’

“This is it!”

Elimination of status ailments, protection of mind and soul, and even attack functions?

I don’t know what creating grudges is, but it’s useful anyway.

It was truly a skill that performed beyond expectations.

Except it’s 10 billion!

“It’s the police! If you surrender quietly, they won’t take your life!”

That’s right!

At that time, the deliveryman’s voice rang out along with the sound of metal crunching.

Can’t you say something like that before attacking?

And you lie about being a police officer.

What kind of police officer would fire paralyzing and hypnotic bullets that have no substance?

“Useup, should I buy this…?”

Even though the situation is urgent, my hands are shaking.

It’s as if 10 billion dollars are flashing before my eyes.

Is this the power of money?

My hands can’t move at all.

“…huh?”

At that time, the eye tattoo on the back of my right hand began to glow softly.

“Quietly surrender…! Ugh, my neck hurts. Well, I guess there’s no need to push me too hard. The other person looks like an ordinary person…”

The delivery man’s voice, which had been as fierce as an angry cow just a moment ago, suddenly became calm.

Even the tone is full of drowsiness and annoyance, so much so that the rapidly formed tension melts away like snow.

“…!?”

The blood drained from my face.

It’s so foreign and strange.

This is by no means a normal emotional change.

And I realized late that it was the same for me too.

Why didn’t you buy the skill right away?

Could it be that I am currently undergoing a mental attack?

“Tsk…!”

As soon as I felt a sense of crisis, I immediately tried to purchase the skill… but my hands didn’t move.

It was none other than me who stopped.

It is your own decision and choice.

It just doesn’t feel that way.

“No, I have to buy it…but…!”

Off the top of my head, I can think of dozens of reasons not to buy this skill.

Even though it is clearly an urgent situation, the sense of crisis somehow calms down.

You feel annoyance and annoyance, your body relaxes, and a strong sense of resistance arises.

“…Plutz!”

I forcefully chewed my lips and moved my hands.

Overcoming the resistance and forcing my body to move was much more difficult than I imagined.

[Points: 695]

It feels like my heart is breaking as the points are reduced to nothing.

Damn it!

“Aaaah!?”

However, the pain in my heart was simply overshadowed by the pain of having my heart torn apart physically.

“W-what…?”

When I looked down, my chest area was wide open.

When it opens up this wide, of course the ribs and internal organs should be visible, but inside there is only a deep abyss.

“ah…?”

I realized too late that it was a strange and hideous-looking snout.

It had a terrible appearance, as if the mouths of various animals, humans, and insects had been mixed up in random order.

The dirty teeth were also a mixture of sharp and blunt teeth, which doubled the disgust.

“Suuup…!”

That snout takes in breath.

Even though I obviously sucked in a huge amount of air, there was no change in my body.

“…!!”

I instinctively realized what that snout was going to do and quickly covered my ears.

and.

“Gyiah ah ahhh !!”

A scream like from hell rang out.

The power of the sound waves was so terrifying that it shook the entire space and physically destroyed surrounding objects, creating the illusion that we were in the middle of a natural disaster.

But what was even more terrifying than that was the emotion contained in that scream.

A melody that is so terrible that it shakes the listener’s heart and makes them blush.

“…ah.”

I realized later that it had no effect on me other than those feelings.

It was loud enough to hurt my eardrums, but it didn’t matter even if I removed my hand.

“Oooh…?”

Rather, it felt as if the base of my consciousness was expanding, and there was an indescribable sense of refreshing coolness.

My mind becomes clear, fatigue and tension disappear as if washed away, and strength surges from my body.

The motivation that had died down due to the mental attack is boosted, and at the same time, the sense of crisis and instinct begin to function normally.

“…It’s amazing.”

It seems that [cries of despair, pain, and grief] identify trivial things such as fatigue and tension as abnormal conditions and eliminate them.

“But how long will this go on? Oh, can I do it like this?”

Surprisingly, I was able to naturally learn how to handle it, so I got rid of its screaming snout.

Tsuzu, that is, tzzu!

A snout that quietly closes its mouth and disappears according to my will.

Although the flesh was clearly cut and protruding, there were no wounds on the chest.

“……”

Heavy silence, as if a storm had passed.

When I carefully opened the door and went out, I saw the delivery man lying down and twitching.

As he watched, a woman’s voice was heard coming from the device he was carrying.

-Mr. Sim Han-gil. Right?

“…That’s right.”

-Let’s talk. We also want to resolve the issue amicably, so please be patient.

“No, the subject who attacked me indiscriminately…”

-I will apologize for that. We will also provide ample compensation. And this may only be an excuse, but we had no intention of killing Mr. Severe Gil. All we were trying to do was amnesia or mental interference using suggestions.

“Is that even worse…?”

I thought about it for a long time, but ultimately came to the conclusion that talking was the best option.

Even if he had money, he didn’t want to become a fugitive being chased for the rest of his life by an unknown organization called the Management Bureau.

“Ha…okay. Let’s talk.”

-thank you. I’ll head there right away.

After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps entering the front door.

“You’ve been waiting for a long time, Mr. Sim Shim-gil. My name is Eun No-eul, and I am the head of the Seoul branch of the Paranormal Phenomena Management Bureau.”

“Yes? Oh, yes…”

I had my eyes wide open, ready to fight if the situation arises, but the moment I saw her face, all my fighting spirit disappeared and all I could do was reply blankly.

Oh my goodness, I have never seen such a pretty woman in my life.

Her appearance looks as if a divine being personally took care of her appearance.

Just looking at it makes me ecstatic and a pink fire ignites in my heart.

The frivolous blonde hair that has started to turn black at the roots is a bit blemished, but even that is transformed into a positive one, packaged with humanity and friendliness.

The overall impression was sharp and ferocious, reminiscent of a tiger, but surprisingly, it was not difficult to approach.

No, maybe it’s because the sex appeal of her long, thick eyelashes, red, plump lips, and dizzyingly steep curves is enough to overwhelm her intimidation.

Even if you know that the thorns will prick you, you inadvertently want to grab them.

‘The most beautiful one.’

‘Eater of the source.’

‘At her beauty, flowers will wither and heaven and earth will shake.’

Even the evaluation within the appraisal comes out like this.

“Mr. Sim Han-gil. I will explain everything to you, so would you please come to the management bureau branch first?”

“Uh…yeah? Oh, that’s right. Yes. Of course I have to…”

The moment I was about to answer in a daze, the eye tattoo on the back of my hand glowed softly.

“Huh? Ah, ah…!”

Her relaxed face suddenly changed.

He blushed as if he was in love or had met someone he was destined to meet, and began to squeeze his chest and twist his body.

Puz that is!

“Kaaaa!?”

And this time, the shoulders widened and an extremely bizarre snout appeared, resembling a combination of the mouths of a human, an animal, and a fish.

No, I know the effect of this skill is good, but how can I not feel the pain every time I use it?

“W-what!?”

“what…!”

As surprised as the people in the administration were, I was also surprised.

It was surprising that I had just realized that there was another person behind Eun No-eul, but it was also because I had just realized that I had been mentally attacked.

“Kkkk!”

“Aaaah!?”

“Aaaah!”

A terrible scream that no one expected.

The people in the management bureau almost flew away and fell down, and I also reflexively covered my ears.

But soon I remembered that it had no effect on me and I sheepishly put my hand away.

“S-Stop! Stop!”

“I’ll stop if you promise not to attack me mentally. Oh, by the way, you can increase the output of this, right?”

Damn it! Tsujeook!

“Aaaah!? It hurts!”

As an extra bit of bravado, I created additional mouths on my forearms and chest, and I jumped in excruciating pain.

“I won’t! So please!”

“Joe, it’s good.”

It was only after hearing her urgent cry that I was able to control the skill.

“……”

“……”

“……”

When the screaming died down and all the snouts disappeared, we awkwardly looked at each other.

“hmm…”

I looked at her face again, but I didn’t feel the same overwhelming ecstasy as before.

It was still pretty and beautiful, as if royalties were not a thing.

Could it be that what I was experiencing was something like ‘fascination’?

“Ha… Mr. Sim Han-gil. First, go to the management bureau…”

“No. You’re not going?”

“…yes?”

She looked at me in confusion, but I was adamant.

Are you saying you followed there knowing what would happen to you?

“You said you were going just now, right?”

“Of course, the fact that you said you were going to go while you were mentally attacked doesn’t apply. I won’t go. Absolutely. If we’re talking about it, let’s talk about it here.”

“…Mr. Sim Han-gil, didn’t you say you wanted to resolve things amicably?”

“That’s true. However, going to the Bureau…”

“Ha…I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but we don’t recklessly kill or imprison ‘humans’. Rather, we protect them.”

She stood up shakily, brushed her frivolous blonde hair and smiled mischievously.

“Besides, don’t you want to know about the ‘constellation community’?”

“…!!”

“If you keep going like this, you’ll be in trouble again. It won’t be long before you’ll be dragged into the ‘post.’ You don’t want that, do you?”

He nodded as if fascinated by the way he spoke, as if he knew everything.

“So are you accompanying me? Please. I don’t want to use force either. Seriously.”

She spoke as if pleading and gently took my hand.

Why is this girl like this all of a sudden?

“Uh…yes?”

“Do you by any chance have a girlfriend?”

“……”

Only then did I understand the situation.

The ‘enchantment’ brought back by my eye tattoo has not been resolved.

“oh…”

Does crying only work for me?

“Hmm…”

In this way, the situation has improved considerably.

Honestly, I want to know some information, so I can go, right?

I don’t know how much I can trust the charm…

“Oh, that’s right. Before that, I’ll take a test. First, you have to prove that you are a ‘human being’ before you can be treated accordingly.”

What she held out was a wooden doll the size of a thumb.

“If you place it on your palm, the kokeshi doll will draw a circle or an

The wooden doll had its arms crossed very clearly.

“……”

“……”

We looked at each other in heavy silence for a while.
