Why do I hate the horror genre at this size?

That’s because the main characters in horror movies or horror games are always unable to fight back and have to run away all the time.

So, I wasn’t that scared of zombie movies and zombie games that were similar in scope.

Because the protagonist can fight back.

There was a reason why I was able to remain calmer in the zombie world than I am now.

You have to be careful about getting bitten, but you can fight back.

But that’s what I thought while watching a ghost story in human form.

‘Isn’t it okay to just hit him?’

Seeing a ghost story in human form seemed to boost my confidence.

How many people have you fought with so far?

Villains, martial artists, and even gangsters.

It didn’t seem like I was going to lose in a fight with something in the shape of a human.

“Even if you just roughly hit it with your fist…”

Of course, if the exorcism had been so easy, people would not have gathered inside the fire station and evacuated.

But I kept thinking that it might be possible.

Is the difficulty level easy for no reason?

Wouldn’t it be possible for me?

Empty!

Even while I was thinking about it, the ghost story was constantly tapping on the shutter.

Little by little, the sound was becoming faster and stronger.

Hearing that forgettable, repetitive sound, the people inside the fire station were holding their breath and not even able to make a sound.

Every time I heard the sound of the shutter clicking, I just looked at the firefighters and other people with a nervous expression.

After looking at that situation, I finally decided to step forward.

“Is there another exit?”

When I approached the firefighter and asked, the firefighter was shocked and tried to stop me.

“It’s dangerous if you leave now!”

“No, that…”

I answered while choosing words.

“I’m a new exorcist…”

I don’t know if ‘new exorcist’ is an appropriate expression.

In any case, all you have to do is communicate.

As soon as I said that, I heard a voice behind me.

“You’re an exorcist?”

“Really?”

“I lived!”

As soon as I said the word exorcist, things started to get a little noisy behind me.

The story spread like wildfire, and the fire station immediately became noisy.

At least now it seemed like the chance to turn back was gone.

The firefighter and I looked at each other and smiled awkwardly at the sudden commotion.

“Newbie… I’m an exorcist. Is that okay? Do you have any experience with exorcism?”

Even during this time, the firefighter took care of me.

Even in this extreme situation, he seemed calm and considerate.

Because of that consideration, I also felt like I had to solve something.

“I don’t have any experience, but I feel like I have to do it now.”

As the firefighter also heard the knocking on the door becoming more intense, he nodded with a heavy expression.

I don’t know how effective the amulet attached to that shutter was, but I didn’t think any good would come of leaving that ghost story that kept knocking on the door.

Just by knocking on the door, the atmosphere inside the fire station became depressing.

“Then take this with you.”

Then the firefighter told me to follow him and took something out of a box in the corner of the fire station and handed it to me.

There were three things.

“…What is this?”

I looked down at the items in two envelopes and a bottle.

“Salt, red beans, and holy water.”

“…Really?”

I thought I knew why this was handed to me.

Salt and red beans, which have been known to be effective in exorcising ghosts in Korea since ancient times, and even holy water, which is used in religious ceremonies and is said to be effective in exorcism.

I don’t know in the world I live in, but in a world where ghost stories like this are prevalent, these items might actually be effective.

First of all, I gratefully received all three items and took them with me.

And I was guided to the back door.

There was an amulet attached to this side as well, but it was not as big as the one attached to the shutter.

“You can leave this way.”

I nodded.

I should have started by saying thank you for taking care of this and that, but I couldn’t say those words.

Even though I didn’t show it, I seemed to be quite nervous.

I like it ㅡ

The ungreased door opened with a creak.

And then I noticed that there was a huge shadow in front of the slowly opening back door.

I also felt like I was pretending to be popular, which shouldn’t be there.

“…Wait ㅡ”

I felt something strange and tried to close the door, but a huge foot came through the crack in the door.

And stopped the door from closing.

“Finally opened.”

The ghostly figure of the man who had been knocking on the door in front of the shutter was standing in front of the door, twice as large as the one seen on CCTV.

He was looking down at us from above and laughing so loudly that it was disgusting.

The corners of his mouth were exaggeratedly raised, giving him an eerie feeling.

“Ugh…!”

Quadang!

The firefighter behind him was scared and his legs gave out and he fell to the floor.

It seems that the knocking on the door was a trick.

The main body of the ghost story was waiting in front of this door with a much smaller amulet attached.

I was quietly holding my breath, waiting for someone to come out this way someday.

“Uhhhh.”

I tapped Goedam’s arm, who was laughing so loudly that it made me feel bad, with my hand.

Tuk.

“Huh?”

“What are you touching?”

It was touched normally.

The touch and strange coldness felt awkward, but I could touch it.

I thought what would happen if I passed by like a ghost, but this was a different story.

I pushed the ghost story with my hand.

Chin, tap.

The monster pushed by my hand was unable to control its huge body and took a few steps back.

“Ugh?”

He must have never thought that he would be pushed by force, so he made a strange voice.

I walked out the door myself, slamming it shut.

And I talked to the firefighter who had fallen.

“Lock the door and stay still until I come.”

Did the firefighter who fell get up and act quickly?

As soon as I said that, I heard the sound of the door being locked.

I liked the quick movement I felt beyond the door.

“You were abandoned.”

Goedam was giggling and looking at me.

It’s abandoned.

Even if you throw it away, I will throw it away.

I calmly opened the bag and threw the red beans at Godam.

“Ugh!”

“Oh.”

The red bean ghost waved his hand and took a step back.

It seemed to work.

While I was leaving, I also sprinkled salt and holy water.

Likewise, Goedam took a big step back, clutching the part that had been touched by salt or holy water.

” Nick …! ◦ ◦ ◦

Making the sound of phlegm boiling was a bonus.

They said the difficulty was easy, but the effect was very direct.

“Die, die, die, die!”

As I was admiring the effect, the ghost story rushed at me, listing creepy words.

The skin that came into contact with salt or holy water was melting, making it look quite disgusting.

I calmly raised my fist.

The moisture from when I sprinkled the holy water still remained on my hands.

“Come quickly.”

Even at this moment, I was smiling and glaring at the approaching ghost story.

I wasn’t scared at this moment.

It felt like that.

I thought it was a movie about running away from a killer all day, but suddenly the main character finds a gun and it feels like the genre changes drastically from horror to action.

The genre I hated the most turned into my favorite genre.

That exhilarating feeling.

“Grrr!”

“Inhale!”

Despite his huge size, he swung his fist at the solar plexus of the fast approaching monster.

The fast-flying fist flew toward the exact center of Ghostam’s solar plexus.

Pop!

It wasn’t the sound of hitting someone.

It felt like hitting mud or the clay used for making things.

The hand was stuck in his chest, then pierced through his chest and came out on the other side.

“Kuuu!

Even though I was screaming in pain, the ghost story did not go away.

Although his body was pierced, he only screamed but did not die.

“Die, die!”

At the same time, he raised his huge hand and tried to hit me.

I tried to pull it out, but it was stuck deeper than I thought and it wasn’t easy to pull it out.

I was feeling a bit of a chill on my impaled arm.

“…Chill?”

No, it was a little different.

I have definitely felt this humid, damp, depressing energy.

This was a vagina.

Before the ghost’s arm swung around, I kept my hand still and began to absorb the negative energy.

It was the first time in a long time that I had absorbed negative energy.

The energy inside my body was filling up, and I was looking at the sight of the ghost story’s yin energy being consumed by my yang energy.

“Kwaaah!”

The situation was reversed.

This time, on the contrary, he started struggling to get out of my hands.

However, the arm that was deeply embedded inside the guy’s body did not fall out.

I felt my inner strength filling up.

Before I knew it, the guy who was two heads taller than me started to get smaller and return to the size of an ordinary human.

Eventually, he became smaller than me.

[Hidden quest cleared.]

[Defeat Ghostam.]

[Surviving a ghost story.]

As I read the messages announcing a smooth start, I removed my hand from the quiet ghost story.

There was no more screaming, nor was there any harsh tapping on the shutter.

“”Wow…””

I could hear small cheers of joy coming from inside the fire station.

It was the debut of a new exorcist.
