Episode 115

I thought, “Ghost? What kind of ridiculous thing is that?”

Did you close your eyes for a moment and then fall asleep, making the sound of a bell banging?

Otherwise, it would be such a random comment.

“Huh…? A ghost? Why is there a ghost all of a sudden, hyung?”

“I literally felt like I was possessed by a ghost. And I was really into it.”

At that moment, the end of the interview with that reporter came to mind.

They say people are scarier than ghosts.

Maybe that has something to do with it?

“No, what are you talking about all of a sudden, hyung? You’re saying you’re possessed by a ghost out of the blue, even with guests? Are you really not getting any sleep? I think you should get some good sleep first……”

Unlike Oh Sang-seok, who looked at Jin Myeong-gil strangely, Hee-seong thought that it was not something to be taken lightly.

I looked at him with dark circles under his eyes and asked.

“What do you mean by that? Are you talking about scissors or nightmares or something like that?”

“No. That’s not it. It’s really a ghost. A ghost that I can never see, a ghost without a form. I’ve been suffering from that ghost for a month now.”

“……”

“Of course you’ll think I’m crazy. Yes, I understand. At first, I even thought I was sleepwalking. No wonder I even went to a shaman.”

“A shaman? A fortune teller?”

Jin Myeong-gil nods.

“Oh, yes. This is a phenomenon that I can’t explain, so I can’t think of anywhere else. But it didn’t help at all. In fact, it only got worse.”

The story Jin Myeong-gil told was somewhat shocking.

One day, when I woke up, the scenery in the living room had changed little by little.

A pot was suddenly placed on the gas stove, and leftover food was wrapped in plastic and put in the refrigerator.

In addition, the scripts that had been lying around from being read until late at night were neatly stacked on the table.

In addition, a series of things that he did not do were happening every night.

“No matter how hard I think about it, I don’t remember doing anything like that. In the first place, I don’t cook anything at home and just throw away leftover food. Even then, my aunt, who works for me, comes and cleans it up every time.”

“Could it be that your aunt cleaned it up? She said she came twice a week before she quit.”

“No. I asked my aunt too, but she said no. Above all, such things always happen at dawn, so it makes no sense for her to come to clean the house at that late hour.”

Jin Myeong-gil opened his mouth again as if he knew what the two were thinking.

“I’m not drunk, nor am I sleepwalking. I mean, I even took pictures of myself with a camera all night.”

“How do you see yourself sleeping?”

“Yes. But I just lay in bed in that position until the sun rose. Without waking up for even a second.”

“Even on days like that, was there a change in the living room?”

“Yes, I did. After seeing that, my mind went blank and I just sat there. There was no way to explain it other than I was possessed by a ghost.”

“……”

Ghost, ghost.

Can something like that exist in the world?

Of course, eyewitness accounts exist, and YouTubers and broadcasters have used them as interesting material, but I have never believed them.

It is absurd for a dead person to wander the world, and it is even more absurd for such a being to be seen by the living.

Moreover, in this case, physical force was actually used.

If that were possible, I think the whole world would have been in chaos already.

“Why do you think it’s a ghost? It seems more reasonable to think it’s the work of a human.”

I asked because I couldn’t understand why a grown man in his mid-30s, not a child of one or two years old, would suddenly start looking for ghosts.

In a case like this, you would usually suspect someone has broken into your home or someone else.

Then Jin Myeong-gil answered with a pale face as if he still got goosebumps thinking about it.

“It was definitely a ghost. If it wasn’t a ghost, then this phenomenon would never occur. All the cameras I installed went dead. Not once or twice, but several times.”

“A camera? Didn’t you say you checked it earlier? It showed you sleeping.”

“In addition to that, I also installed one separately in the living room. If something, whether a person or a ghost, were to move, it would definitely be captured. I installed several of them in places where they would never be seen.”

“But they all became a dead end?”

Jin Myeong-gil nods his head weakly.

“Yes, that’s right. There was no recording at all, and none of the previously filmed footage was saved. How could I think I’m not a ghost? How could I think this was the work of a human? It’s absolutely impossible.”

Even Hee-sung, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, felt a slight creepy feeling for a moment.

If it was done by a person, they would have to know exactly where the camera was hidden, but that is not possible in the first place.

Jin Myeong-gil said that he didn’t go out of the house or invite anyone for a whole month.

“So that’s why you went to a fortune teller? To ask a shaman?”

“Huh, yes. Once I became convinced that it was a ghost, the only person who came to mind was a shaman. For the first time in my life, I went to a place like that and even got a talisman from a fortune teller. I spent hundreds of dollars.”

“So the multi-million dollar amulet worked?”

Jin Myeong-gil shook his head with a bitter smile at those words.

“As I said before, it didn’t work at all. No, something even more horrifying happened. Just the day before yesterday.”

“which?”

“The amulets were torn to shreds. I had one on the doorway, one on the back of the refrigerator, and one on the inside of the curtains. When I woke up, they were all torn to shreds on the floor. They were literally torn to shreds.”

Oh Sang-seok, who had been listening quietly, made an expression close to shock.

“No… You said that the talisman was stuck on you, but it was all torn apart? Didn’t you hide it somewhere where it wouldn’t be seen?”

“Of course. The shaman had personally decided on the location. When I saw the talisman torn in the morning, I gave up on myself. I thought I couldn’t live in this house any longer.”

“Then you should have told me or the company. You’ve been suffering alone for almost a month… If your house is in this state, it’s serious, hyung.”

Now I think I understand why our family ended up like this.

Things that I didn’t do happened all night and things that I didn’t clean up were cleaned up every time, so it was a total mess.

Perhaps it was a feeling of self-abandonment.

“So you’ve given up on sleep altogether. At least during the night.”

Jin Myeong-gil nodded feebly with his face so haggard that it looked pale at Hee-seong’s question.

“…… Yes, that’s right. It never happens during the day. It only happens in this space when I’m asleep. Only in the living room.”

“Has there been any change in the bedroom?”

“Yes. That’s the weird thing. He doesn’t do any harm to me and is just obsessed with the house. My bedroom camera never caught anything on him.”

“Oh, right. If he even tears up a talisman, isn’t that guy a real evil spirit, hyung? Have you asked the landlord or the real estate agent? Has anyone died or been injured in this house?”

Jin Myeong-gil answered Oh Sang-seok’s question with a bitter smile.

“There’s no need to ask about that. I’ve been living in this house for 10 years, so if that’s the case, it would have happened a long time ago. I think someone must have a grudge against me and did this to me. They’re trying to drain me of blood and make me mentally unstable.”

He asked what was going on with such a sudden story.

“What are you talking about?”

“I even tore the amulet and called the shaman to complain. I said it was useless and asked what I should do. The shaman said, ‘If the amulet doesn’t work, it seems like someone has eaten you alive.’”

“Ah, life? What is that?”

Oh Sang-seok chimed in, greatly surprised, as if he knew what those words meant.

“Flesh, flesh? No, who would do such a terrible thing to you, hyung… If that’s true, isn’t it too dangerous, hyung?”

To kill a living being.

It was a word Heeseong had never heard before.

What on earth are you talking about that makes Oh Sang-seok react so terrified?

Soon Jin Myeong-gil answered.

“I just learned this for the first time, but it refers to the act of casting a curse or spell on someone. The curse can cause things to go wrong, pose a great threat, and even lead to death. That is what is called killing someone.”

“Does that mean someone put a curse on Jin? With malicious intent?”

“Maybe so. But it’s said that ordinary people can’t do it, and that only shamans can do it. So that means that someone went to a shaman and asked me to blow their flesh. And as a result, this is what’s happening.”

Perhaps because I don’t believe in ghosts in the first place, these were things that felt a bit absurd.

Is it possible in real life to put a curse on someone and have it actually take effect?

And that too, must be requested only from a shaman?

Heeseong asked Jinmyeonggil in a question that seemed absurd.

“But you didn’t suffer any damage at all, did you? Rather, you cleaned up the house and put things away, but it doesn’t seem like you broke anything or did anything harmful.”

“Well, yes. At least for now. But who knows? If I continue to bleed like this, I might end up in serious trouble at some point. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t seem to escape……”

Jin Myeong-gil covers his face with both palms while tilting his neck back.

At that moment, a scene he had seen at the front door earlier came to Heesung’s mind.
