A head that is separated from the body and flies.

A red scar on the young man’s neck.

The strange habit of eating bugs.

It is now clear what the young man’s identity is. We had read related records while researching Asian monsters.

I shouted to Sarah.

“Only Bidou!”

Bidouman (飛頭蛮).

It was a human-looking monster that appeared in Chinese legends. A red scar on its neck and a detached head that flew around were unique features of Bidou. I heard that they catch and eat bugs.

The skin of Bidouman’s head and body, which were separated, were dyed blue.

That was Biduman’s original skin color as seen in the bronze mirror.

Bidouman’s head, dyed blue, was flying around the store like crazy. Bidouman’s head whirled around us. We fired a lightning strike with the Geumgangjeo, but hitting the head was not easy.

The electric shock that Sera and I fired burned Viduman’s hair.

Bidouman’s head, which was flying round and round, opened its mouth wide.

Bidouman screamed as if he were retching. At that moment, writhing centipedes came out of Bidouman’s mouth in all directions. More than ten centipedes landed around us. They were all living centipedes.

“Was there a centipede in your mouth?”

“So I couldn’t say it!”

There was a reason why Biduman, who had been transformed into a young man, could not speak. This was because he had a lot of live centipedes in his mouth.

Sera fired a bolt of electricity at the centipedes. I took out my sword and cut down the centipedes crawling at my feet.

Spitting out centipedes was Bidou’s unique hidden ability.

Bidouman kept spitting poisonous centipedes at us. We were busy dealing with the centipedes crawling under our feet. But Bidu wasn’t the only thing we had to deal with.

The female leader’s body twisted and turned into a huge bird. Feathers sprouted from all over its body, its arms turned into wings, and its slender legs became those of a bird. The face of the female president hanging above her neck did not change.

A huge bird with a woman’s face on it.

Gohyeokjo revealed his true face.

“Heeheehee.”

Gohyeokjo burst out laughing and rushed towards us. It has become larger than when it was the female president.

‘Isn’t it easier to hit with lightning because your body has gotten bigger?’

I fired a lightning bolt with my Geumgangjeo towards the Gohaekjo. The bird raised its huge wings forward like a shield. The lightning I fired clearly hit the wings of the fishing bird.

However, there were no holes in the wing that was struck by lightning. Only burn marks remained on the wings. Gohyeokjo still did not stop charging.

‘You blocked the lightning with your wings.’

Geumgangjeo’s lightning had the penetrating power to pierce solid ground. However, Gohaekjo’s wings blocked the electric shock like a shield. Even though I was struck by electricity, it didn’t seem like I was electrocuted. Those wings had the power to block magical attacks.

It was not a monster that could be easily subdued.

A bird of prey approached me and flapped its wings. I raised my sword and blocked the wings. The moment the sword and wings collided, a heavy sensation passed through my hands. The wings themselves were weapons.

From behind, Bidouman’s head spit out centipedes at me.

“Vajra!”

Sera fired a bolt of electricity with her diamond sword and burned the centipede. Sera and I turned our backs and faced only Goheukjo and Bidou. Every time Gohyeokjo swung his wings inside the store, tables were smashed and furniture collapsed. The charred corpses of centipedes were spread out on the floor of the store. It seemed like this Chinese restaurant could no longer operate as a restaurant.

“I get excited because I rebel! You look more and more appetizing.”

The bird, which was swinging its wings like a weapon, drooled as it looked at me. Even as the bloody fight continued, Gohyeokjo could not control his appetite. I fired a bolt of electricity at Goheokjo’s saliva-soaked face. Goheukjo raised his wings to block the lightning strike.

Behind, Sera continued to deal with the centipedes that Bidouman was spitting out. Centipedes constantly poured out of Bidouman’s mouth.

However, the fight inside the store did not end.

At one point, a police car’s siren sounded outside.

The police were coming towards the store. The noise was excessively loud as the monsters smashed the table and went on a rampage. It was no surprise that the police officers who received the report came on patrol. The moment the siren sounded, Gohyeokjo frowned.

“Are you a police officer? It’s getting annoying.”

The store’s windows were covered with curtains. People couldn’t look inside the store from outside. But soon the police would force open the door and come inside.

There was not much time left before being discovered.

The bird made a strange move by spreading both wings wide. Then, a large number of feathers came out in all directions from the entire body of the bird.

‘I can’t see.’

Thick feathers were fluttering wildly inside the store. Because my vision was blocked, I couldn’t attack properly. However, even monsters were unable to attack.

Bidouman’s head, which was flying, was attached to the body again. Bidouman got up from the floor and ran towards the back door of the store. Goheukjo likewise followed Bidouman and ran to the back door. Sera and I launched a lightning strike, but Gohyeokjo raised his wings to defend himself.

From the moment the siren rang, those monsters had no intention of fighting anymore.

The reason the bird was spreading its feathers was to look for an opportunity to escape.

Leaving the store in shambles.

“Now those disgusting guys’ business is ruined.”

“It was ruined.”

Sarah and I chased after the monsters. When they arrived at the store’s kitchen, the monsters changed back into human form, opened the back door, and ran out. The road leading to the back door of the Chinese restaurant was quiet and deserted.

The female leader, who had returned to human form, was naked. This was because the uniform he was wearing had burst while he was transforming into a giant bird. The sight of the female president running while exposing her naked body was quite provocative.

“Wow, your butt is so big.”

“Is it Jinwoo? Where are you looking?”

“What do you do with what you can see?”

“Kuh… .”

The female boss, naked outside, was running with the young man. Even though it was nighttime, if I kept running around, I would get caught by people and cause a commotion. However, not long after, the female manager and the young man who had entered an alley disappeared. It was an alley with walls on all sides.

“They disappeared?”

“Where did you go?”

If the female leader had turned into a bird and flown away, we would have definitely seen it. But in the alley, the two monsters disappeared without a trace. Sarah and I were able to quickly figure out where the monsters had gone.

“I feel like I’ve entered a ghost’s path.”

“Ah. Was there a ghost road here? It was close to the store.”

“The monsters probably settled close to the ghost road on purpose.”

In Chinatown, there was a space called Ghost Road where ghosts and monsters could come and go freely. It was a hidden space that was not easily visible to the human eye. It was clear that the ghost road we were looking for was within this alley.

They must have entered the ghost path because they thought we couldn’t follow them.

But we had a bronze mirror that could reveal hidden ghost paths. Sarah and I took out a bronze mirror and scanned the alley.

It was the moment when Sarah held a bronze mirror and reflected it on the wall of the alley. It was clearly a space with walls when seen with the naked eye, but the scenery reflected in Sarah’s mirror was completely different. The wall had disappeared and a clear path was reflected in the mirror.

“Jinwoo. This way.”

“I’m watching too. I can see it, but how do I get in?”

“Can’t I just run and hit it? Let’s go the Harry Potter way.”

“What kind of Harry Potter is this.”

“You know that. A strange platform that appears when you go through the wall.”

I know what you’re saying.

In any wizard movie, if you recklessly rush towards a wall, a mysterious space appears. Sera guessed that the ghost road could be traveled in a similar way. Before I could even touch the wall, Sarah opened her mouth.

“I’ll go first. I really wanted to try this.”

“What? No, wait a minute.”

“Let’s go to Hogwarts. Jinwoo.”

Sarah relaxed and ran towards the wall. I saw Sarah running towards the wall with all her might, regardless of direction.

“Hey!”

There was no time to stop it. The moment Sarah’s body hit the wall of the alley, I became cold. But surprisingly, Sarah was not hurt. Sarah ran with all her might, passed through the wall like a ghost and disappeared in front of me.

‘It’s real, right?’

Sarah passed through the wall.

I couldn’t stay still. I also ran towards the wall. The moment I touched the wall, my body was sucked into the wall.

I broke through the wall and jumped out the other side.

Sarah’s method was successful.

“Phew.”

Sarah, who broke through the wall first, was smiling with satisfaction in front of me. She was truly a girl who loved movies.

I looked around.

A mysterious street appeared before my eyes. This was the exact place where the report was posted on the mystery site.

At first glance, it was a street that perfectly resembled the scenery of Chinatown. All the buildings of Chinatown were erected on this street. However, even though the street looked the same, there were no people passing by here. There were no tourists or Chinatown residents in sight.

‘Ghost Road’

It was literally like being possessed by a ghost.

We arrived at the ghost road.
