episode_0033

Souls collide.

No, we are being attacked one-sidedly.

“Huh, huh…!?”

In fact, I don’t know if this is really pain of the soul.

I’ve seen and dealt with evil spirits, but I’ve never actually seen or felt my own soul.

Moreover, physical pain is also interconnected, so it is difficult to distinguish.

“Ugh! Ugh…!”

“Ah!? Oppa Han-gil! Are you okay!?”

As he moans and trembles violently, Heo Sae-ron suddenly approaches and circles around him restlessly.

“Kuhhh… He Saeron…!”

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I never thought it would turn out like this!”

I don’t intend to blame her.

It wasn’t even her fault in the first place.

Who would have guessed that a scared evil spirit would enter my body?

“Suck, suck…!”

“Huh!? What!?”

Besides, we don’t have enough time to do that right now.

“Quick, quick…!”

“Ah! Uh, what should I do!? ‘Potion’? Can I use ‘potion’!?”

Sigh!

As the ‘potion’ soaks the body, the wounds sustained while fighting evil spirits heal quickly.

I appreciated this, but that wasn’t what I wanted to say.

It’s going to be hard, so I hope you understand.

“Quick, run…!”

“uh!?”

“Run, go…! Take Gyeong-gyeong and No-eul… as far away as possible…!”

“What is that…”

Damn it! Damn it! Blah blah blah!

“Kwaaa!?”

As the grotesque and disgusting-looking snout protrudes more than three digits in size, she lets out a horrified scream and collapses.

This is disgusting even to me.

Like barnacles stuck to the shell of a sea turtle, they protrude so densely that it is difficult to find any openings, so much so that they are hardly considered human.

“Quickly…! Please…!”

“Huh? Huh? But…!”

“Hurry!”

“Oh, I understand! Because I understand!”

shaking!

“Awesome…!”

“Kkigiik…!”

“Ok…!”

I waited for her to move away, somehow suppressing the screaming spout.

“Ugh, wow, it’s heavy…!”

I was frustrated and angry at the sight of Eun No-eul and Gyeong-hyeong being carried away whining, but I felt like if I opened my mouth now, I would be in big trouble, so I just trembled with my whole body and endured.

It was harder because it wasn’t just about holding back the screams.

“Whoop, whoop…!”

You damn evil spirit.

They are dissecting other people’s bodies as if they were their own.

-Kikikick! Kikiki kick! This body is now mine! I’ll take it over and use it however I want!

He even mocks me in a voice that probably only I can hear.

Doesn’t He Sae-ron’s ability last that long?

Crack! Crack! Geek! Squeak!

“Ugh, ugh…!”

Anyway, the more evil the evil spirit did, the more hundreds of mouths ground their teeth menacingly as if they could no longer bear it, and Heo Sae-ron, who was completely white, moved a little faster.

“Oppa! Is this enough!?”

“Whoop, whoop…!”

I nodded to her who was far enough away and took a short, deep breath.

“Fuuu…!”

And, finally.

“iced coffee…”

Like bursting a dam, the mouth of the entire body was liberated.

“Kkkk!!”

“Kraaa!!”

“Kigrrr!!”

“Quaaa!!”

“Turn it off!”

Kwazijic! Kwazizig!

Just to hear it, a terrible scream raged like a storm.

It was no joke, the surrounding floor was cracked wide open and the deeply embedded iron bars were breaking or bursting and scattering.

A chorus of screams that surpasses the limit that I have never experienced before while using this skill.

“Kuhuhuhuhuhhh…!”

Maybe that’s why it shouldn’t have any effect on me, but my whole body is shaking and my mind is scattered as if it were broken into pieces.

-Kwaaa!? What, what! What is this? Ahhh! Kyaaa!

The reason I was able to not lose my mind in the meantime was probably because I heard the screams of an evil spirit screaming in pain.

-AA AA AA! Kaaa!!

He holds on desperately, perhaps because he doesn’t want to disappear.

“Kuuu she she her her she her she or her or or or her her or or it it it it or it or it it it or it it or it or it or or it or her?

In other words, the cry from outside the body to get rid of the evil spirit inside my body and the energy of the evil spirit from inside to survive are in opposition.

Of course, I was caught in the middle and felt like death.

“Cruck, cluck!?”

Patter!

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears…and even pores.

Blood flows out of a hole called a hole.

Senses such as sight, hearing, and smell turn off and on repeatedly.

Consciousness flashes white-hot and then pitch-black, making it impossible to maintain sanity.

“Kahak! Cluck! Cluck…!”

pain.

It’s so painful.

I felt like I was going crazy because I was not only in physical pain, but also spiritual pain.

“Ah, ah…Kahak…!”

In the midst of the pain that I don’t know when it will end, I see the ‘Mirror of Resentment’ emitting ominous flames.

Fuwaaak! Push…!

-Kyaaa!!

Every time the flame fades, you can feel the power of the evil spirit diminishing.

With the mirror of resentment added to the scream, this guy must be dying.

“Kahah…!”

If this continues, the evil spirit will definitely disappear.

However, I also had a feeling that I would never be safe.

“Big, that’s …!

Sensibly, I added my will to the [cries of despair, pain, and grief].

Immediately after, an even stronger scream came out.

“Kkkk!!”

“Kaaa!!”

“Kkkk!”

“Krrrraaa!”

The grotesque and disgusting muzzle opens to the limit and bleeds.

The snouts were screaming so loud that their own teeth were shaking unsteadily, and as if they couldn’t be satisfied with that, they began to encroach on my body.

Squeak! Sigh!

The skin deteriorates in various ways.

Green and red skin with a rough texture that is obviously not human, skin with pus-filled tumors growing thickly, skin with bird feathers and animal fur growing densely, skin with scales growing…etc.

All of these things are combined to turn into a bizarre skin whose type cannot be determined.

Convex convex! Convex!

And from that skin…eyeballs popped out.

“what…?”

The eyeballs were also of different sizes and types.

Some were like cat’s eyes, some were like human eyes, and some resembled those of reptiles or fish.

Dozens of such eyeballs burst through the cracks of the snout.

It gets even more disgusting from there?

This is too much.

“what…”

[pain! More pain!]

[You have accepted some of the karma contained in the skill!]

[Skills are revealed in a more complete form!]

[[The Magic Eye of Condemnation] has been acquired!]

“Ha, haha… this is ridiculous…”

Even though I was in pain, I burst into laughter and activated my ‘emotional eye.’

‘Eyes that reveal karma’

‘To watch is sin, and to judge is God.’

‘Know your sins’

What exactly are you talking about?

‘Emotional Eyes’ sometimes talks like a Zen question, but I don’t know what the problem is.

Is it perhaps related to karma? Or is it that if the level is higher than ‘appraisal eye’, it cannot be appraised properly?

Slurp slurp! Slurp!

Immediately afterwards, all eyes rolled over.

As if looking inside the body.

-Keueuuuu!?

It was at that moment that the power of the evil spirit disappeared in an instant.

“Kgyaaa!!”

“It’s great!”

“Kaaa!”

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the scream that resonated inside his body began to pound him.

-Ahhhh! no! No! You can’t disappear like this! So vainly…

I feel it.

This guy’s soul is shriveling.

It seemed like it was shrinking faster than the force exerted by the scream, but I didn’t have time to think about the reason right now.

“Cough! Cough! Cough…!”

-Ahhhh…ahhh…

As soon as I felt that it had completely disappeared, I collapsed on the spot.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh… whoosh, whoosh…!”

finished.

I finally overcame it.

“Cough, cough…!”

However, I couldn’t be happy about the victory.

My consciousness was completely bleached, I couldn’t think of anything, my body was trembling like an epileptic patient, and blood was still dripping from the hole.

“ah…”

This is dying.

Until then, I didn’t feel like I was going to die even if my head was cut off or my body was torn apart, but now I could definitely feel it.

The feeling I experienced while dying several times is slowly coming to me.

Consciousness becomes dark at the edge and the five senses slowly disperse.

Even though breathing is extremely slow and intermittent, it is not painful and a languid lethargy dominates the entire body.

Now close your eyes and that’s it.

This body too is dying.

No, maybe it’s because my soul was attacked?

“Whoa…”

Whatever it was, I became more comfortable and humbly accepted this result.

Next time, let’s do better…

***

“Oppa! Oppa Hangil? Come to your senses!”

Sigh!

“…Puhaa!?”

I thought I was dead, but I was half-forced to wake up, as if I had been pulled by my hair.

“Huh, huh…? W-what…?”

When I opened my eyes and was out of breath, I saw Heo Sae-ron holding an empty bottle of ‘Potion’, looking down at me.

“Are you awake? Are you in any pain?”

“Huh? Uh…huh?”

My head doesn’t work well.

Surely you must have used all the ‘potions’?

“…This place?”

Suddenly, I looked around and saw that it was not an unfamiliar underground space, but the office of the paranormal response team.

“…? What? Why am I here…? Am I hallucinating?”

“It’s not a hallucination, brother. We all survived. You’ll know when you look next to us.”

“huh…?”

Next to me, Eun No-eul and Kwon Gyeong-gu were sleeping with peaceful faces.

“……”

My head still doesn’t work properly.

“Uh, so…”

“You got rid of the evil spirit and returned to where you came from. Good job, brother. I saw you in action and it was great.”

“…Haaa~”

As soon as I heard Saeron’s words, which seemed to conclude the whole situation and were like the last lines of the final episode of a web novel, all tension eased from my body.

“…I think I need to be blocked from the Constellation community at all costs. It’s so hard that I die every time I enter a post.”

“Ahaha. That’s right. To be honest, I don’t want to go in twice. Oh, by the way, brother. Speaking of which, I think we should check the comments on our post, right?”

“what…?”

I looked at the post because her voice was more serious than usual.

Of the two posts I can view, this is the second post.

[G-666 Title: Honestly, wouldn’t a human from Earth 44 be able to defeat a Specter or a Banshee?]

Since I had already read the content several times, I checked the comments section.

“Hmm…?”

In a situation where the intense keyboard battle between 088, 414, and 136 was over and in vain, another constellation wrote a comment.

[G-000: But how did you get that photo?]

┗[G-099: Wow, is it true that the manager appeared?]

┗[G-666: How did you get it? Did you just use what was in the Akashic Records?]

┗[G-377: Why are you the only one summoning the administrator? Why are you the only one summoning the administrator? Please tell me how to summon me. Please tell me how to summon me too. How did you do it? How did you do it? Administrator, please pay attention to me as well]

[User G-377 will be deprived of post viewing privileges]

000, who chicly eliminated the aggro user, continued his comment.

[G-000: So how did you do that? Don’t you know that the constellation community is on a separate level, and the Akashic Records are also separate?]

┗[G-666: Huh? No, I just felt like I could use it, so I thoughtlessly… Wait a minute]

┗[G-000: …Ah, I got it.]

┗[G-291: Is this really a ‘starless dimension’?]

┗[G-881: Monga…Monga is happening!]

┗[G-472: ‘A dimension without stars’? Silent dimension!? Is it real?]

┗[G-062: Wow, I saw the administrator and it was a huge deal. Are you watching this in real time?]

“……”

What does this all mean…

“…Saeron. What is the ‘starless dimension’…?”

“Do you think I know?”

I looked at Saeron, who was smiling bitterly, and inadvertently closed my eyes.

I’m already having a hard time, but it’s a bit difficult to enter new information.

“Rest for now, brother.”

thanks.

After answering in my mind, I lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, a full day had passed.

***

Those of us gathered in the simple conference room of the ‘Paranormal Phenomena Response Team’ could not hide our tiredness.

“Haa… First of all, good work everyone. Especially Han-gil oppa.”

“It’s nothing. It just happened that way.”

Eunno-eul shook her head at my words.

“If my brother hadn’t realized it was a dream, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything and we would all have died. Sigh… Even thinking about it now, it’s pathetic. That the Queen of Dream Demons couldn’t tell even that…”

“Ahaha…well, isn’t that possible?”

“No, it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. In other words, I didn’t do my job properly. Damn, I never thought there would be a monster that could deceive me so much that I wouldn’t even notice…”

Seeing Eunnoeul grumbling cutely made me laugh a little.

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Those of us who glanced at the burning constellation community in real time consciously avoided mentioning it.

[Looking for a party to find a silent dimension]

[Is there really a silent dimension?]

[Once I find the voiceless dimension, I will first create my apostles.]

[A dimension without stars? My mouth is watering. Fear and despair that cannot be resisted by ignorant humans! Awe and worship!]

[The silent dimension abusers go away! Only lovers gather together!]

[If you go over to the silent level to an abuser, you will be really chased! We must protect it!]

[The voiceless dimension is a baby… You have to love it and protect it…]

“Whoa…”

“..ha…”

“Ugh…”

“Okay…”

We couldn’t view anything other than the posts where our photos were uploaded, but we were able to get a rough idea of what was going on just by looking at the title.

I’ll have to talk about this topic someday, but right now it’s too much to just resolve the issue at hand.

There is no one here who wants to give their head a headache over a new topic when they are already tired.

“Ugh~ But, haven’t we gained anything? It seems like we just went through the trouble of dying… It seems like we can’t even use the power of the constellation…”

Heo Sae-ron, with his face pressed against the table, hangs down as if he is helpless.

“Huh? You can’t use it?”

When I looked at her curiously, she nodded.

“Yes. Wraith, Specter, Banshee… I summoned them all, but nothing was summoned.”

“Really? Why? Umm…”

I didn’t quite understand, so I read the comments on the post where our photo was uploaded.

“That’s strange. The comment clearly says Wraith, Specter, and Banshee, and since we saw them, they should be summoned… Wraith. Wraith?”

I tried calling, but nothing was summoned.

“…Khanpal.”

Patter!

I wondered if the summoning had been completely blocked, so I called something else and it was summoned immediately.

“Wow. Brother. What is that?”

“Ah, this is called Kanpal… It’s like a sweet potato from another world. It’s very delicious.”

“Really!? I want to try it!”

“Ahaha. Okay. I’ll feed you later. Um…but really, why can’t I summon it?”

“Isn’t it because it’s not a living thing?”

Gyeong-gyeong’s point seemed quite plausible.

“It certainly feels like they have already died once and become vengeful spirits. But that has nothing to do with it, right? Look at this.”

I summoned a gun with infinite magazine and held it in my hand.

“Objects can also be summoned. I think there are different conditions…”

“Is it because I was in a dream? I don’t think I saw any other ghosts after I woke up.”

“Is that so? Uhm…”

What Eun No-eul said made a lot of sense, so I thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered the only name I knew there.

“…Rael?”

At that moment, an expressionless ghost of a maid with black hair neatly tied up appeared on the table.

-…?

She twitched her eyes for a moment and looked at us blankly, as if she didn’t understand the situation.

We sat there dumbfounded, unable to accept the sudden situation.

-…!?

Shocked, Rael shook his shoulders like a cat and floated in the air, widening the distance between us.

-Where…is this? How did you summon me?

“…!?”

“…!!”

Only then did we come to our senses and quickly got up from our seats.

“Ha, Hangil! Cancel the summons! Can’t you cancel the summons!?”

“Uh, uh…that won’t work? Maybe? Cancel the summoning! Go back!”

I tried my best to shout at Rael, but even so, the summoned entity never returned to where it was.

“Wait. Wait.”

At that time, Eun No-eul stepped forward.

“Rael. Do you remember us? It was only in a dream that we met?”

-…I am already dead, and I exist in this world against providence. The boundary between dreams and reality is vague.

“I guess so. So you have all the memories of us?”

-…yes.

“Do you know that we got rid of that evil spirit?”

-yes. I watched it all. Inside that evil spirit… I was the one who was swallowed up by that huge evil spirit from the beginning. So when the evil spirit disappeared, it disappeared along with it. But…I don’t know what the situation is right now.

“…You can summon something that has already disappeared. The power of the constellation is amazing.”

“Oppa Han-gil, that’s shameful! He only summoned himself!”

“Huh? No, maybe you too?”

“Huh? Really?”

“I’m not sure, but… give it a try.”

When I gestured to Saeron, she looked at Rael with a skeptical expression.

“…Rael?”

Sreuk!

The moment she chanted her name, Rael, who was a short distance away, appeared before her eyes.

-Wha…!?

“Wow!?”

They jump up and spread the distance like startled cats.

“Ahahaha! That’s fun… Haha, Rael. Are you going to attack us?”

In response to Noeul’s question, she immediately shook her head.

-no. doesn’t exist. never. Because you won’t win anyway.

She looked at me with fearful eyes.

“I see. Then we have no intention of fighting either. So, will you be our comrade?”

-You mean my colleague?…First of all, I would like to hear an explanation of this situation.

“Okay. Then, we need to talk a little first. Sit here.”

-yes.

Lael passed the obstacle and approached us in a straight line. He was wary of us and placed his buttocks on the chair.

Creak…

The sound of weight being placed is clearly audible.

How did they do it? It’s really amazing.

“So…”

Eun No-eul summarized the current situation in a soft voice.

After a while.

-So…are you saying this is a world in another dimension!?

Rael’s surprised voice rang out loud.
