#90 Ghosts love to play pranks (3)
Whee –
Secret gestures came and went.
Five people hiding in the darkness.
People dressed in black except for their eyes began to disperse.
‘It is indeed as reported.’
Recently, more and more people have become interested in this place.
An unidentified hero who suddenly appears.
A person who sees souls with his eyes and receives the attention of great people.
He was a man who was being watched with interest even in the capital of the empire that had sent an informant here.
Ssut –
The leader of the informants moving along the road stopped dead in their tracks.
‘Something is strange.’
There were no guards, no sign of anyone guarding the place.
The fact that a person of this level was left so defenseless made one suspect two things.
‘A person so strong that he doesn’t need defense.’
Or a covert defense so subtle that it wouldn’t be noticed with his skills.
According to the information I’ve researched, there’s not much distance left until we get there.
The crew members he led will also be advancing from their respective locations.
Since they are very talented, everyone would have noticed.
That this place is not an easy place.
Swish –
As he turned his head to look around, his body suddenly froze stiffly.
Bam –
Because someone tapped his shoulder.
“Huh…!”
He quickly turned his head and pulled out his dagger, but there was nothing around him.
‘…You’re strong! How could you not notice until you got this close!’
Informants are particularly sensitive to human presence.
They have been trained to hide their presence, so it goes without saying that they are professional.
If you don’t notice until someone touches your shoulder, the difference in realms is huge.
Swish –
The moment you turn your head to look at the other side.
Bam –
Another touch on his shoulder pierced through his blind spot.
“….!”
The body and breathing stop.
It was confirmed that there was clearly nothing.
That means that he hid his presence and took over the area behind them the moment he turned his head.
‘If you move, you die…!’
It would be easier for someone this strong to kill himself than to close his eyes.
Bam –
This time I felt something on my other shoulder.
The important thing is that I didn’t feel any movement this time either.
That wasn’t all.
A chill running through my whole body.
It was a more terrifying feeling than when I faced life.
“….”
His body froze as goosebumps ran down his skin.
‘…I can’t lose all my crew members like this.’
He opened his mouth as he lowered the trembling dagger toward the floor.
“I am an informant from the Imperial Family. I have not come to harm you.”
There was no reaction from anyone around.
Does this mean that he understood what I was saying?
The informant, who had been hesitating, opened his mouth again.
“I will go back like this, so I hope there will be no meaningless sacrifices.”
As expected, it’s a quiet mountain.
The frozen informant only moved his eyes to look around.
at that time.
Whee –
A whitish shape passed right by.
‘Uh… I’m moving, but there’s no sound at all!’
At the same time, something passed by on the other side.
‘Ha, you’re saying there wasn’t just one?’
The informant swallowed dry saliva.
Gulp –
Those who are so strong that they are impossible to deal with.
It was time to make a choice for the crew.
“I will gather my comrades and leave, so please have mercy on me.”
The original principle was that one should commit suicide as soon as one’s identity was discovered.
But the lives of my crew members were too precious to do that here, not even in enemy territory.
Because they weren’t sent with bad intentions in the first place.
A mission truly just for gathering information.
“I will slowly back away from now on.”
Swish –
Moving feet.
Swish –
Even after taking two steps, I didn’t feel any threatening aura.
That the other person accepted your request.
After confirming the facts, he turned around and started running down the mountain path.
Wheeeeeek –
Trees and ground passing quickly by the side of the eyes.
But he still couldn’t relax.
Because something was following me on both sides, as I glanced at it.
Whee –
‘Are you saying that you can’t feel anything even when running at this speed?’
Juruk –
Sweat ran down both cheeks.
Not even a sound, let alone a sound of movement, could be heard.
It feels like nothing exists.
Even the shape was vague, so the pressure was tremendous.
‘I have to quickly join the crew…!’
The moment you want to increase speed.
Bam –
“Huh…!”
Again someone tapped me on the shoulder.
As expected, there is nothing there.
I turned my head several times, but I couldn’t see anything.
Bam –
“….!”
Bam –
I felt a tapping sensation on both shoulders alternately.
Perfect stealth even while running.
I felt like I was being completely toyed with.
Shudder.
He stopped as he was picking up speed.
“This place is…!”
It clearly ran in a straight line.
But how did this place come about?
The place he arrived was where he started to run away from the strong man.
“This, this is…!”
Whee –
The informant starts running again, kicking the ground.
After running for a long time, we arrived at the same place.
“I clearly ran in a straight line…!”
Juruk –
Cold sweat poured down like rain.
I couldn’t even fathom how this phenomenon was possible.
There was no response to the artifact that detected magic, and her senses were normal.
“then…!”
This time, I kicked the ground in a place that wasn’t the road.
An uphill road filled with nothing but trees and grass.
But the more I ran, the more I felt something was wrong.
Even though I was climbing the hill, my legs didn’t feel any strength.
As if running on flat ground.
He stopped in his tracks in surprise and took a deep breath.
“Huh…!”
The road I was running on was really flat.
That too, the place you just left is visible ahead.
He was running towards that place again.
Creepy –
I got goosebumps from head to toe.
Now even fear was rising.
at that time.
Bam –
Bam –
Bam –
Bam –
A sensation felt throughout the body.
My stiff neck made it impossible for me to turn my head and I could only look straight ahead.
At that moment, something touched the tip of my nose.
“Ugh…!”
How can you touch my nose when I’m clearly looking straight ahead?
The informant began to tremble and back away.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…! I won’t come back again…!”
Bam –
“Huh, I’m an informant from the Imperial Family! If you want, I can prove my identity…!”
The informant was unable to continue speaking.
Because it sent shivers down my spine.
A creepy feeling that comes without any sign of life.
My body, trained for years, has been warning me.
It means there is something behind your back.
“….”
The stiff neck slowly turned his head.
And what caught his eye was.
It was a vague figure holding its head with both hands.
“Ugh…! Oh, undead…!”
Whirlyrick –
An informant who has fixed his dagger.
But before he knew it, what was in front of him had disappeared.
There he saw something amazing.
“….This can’t be happening!”
If I had taken just one more step back, it would have been a cliff.
Even though he didn’t lose his life because he had been trained, it was clearly a great risk.
Heart pounding –
Heart pounding –
My heart was pounding hard, alerting me to danger.
‘I have to run away.’
Once the fear arose, it grew uncontrollably.
So much so that I even forgot which road I was running on.
“Ugh…!”
No matter how much I run, it’s the same place.
I thought I was going down a different path, but I ended up back where I started.
By then, the informant had no time to think about anything else.
Because my head was a complete mess.
As he was running away, he heard a different sound than before.
Bigeye –
Daughter –
“The bell rings…!”
The informant instinctively started running after the sound.
The only other phenomenon that occurred.
Because I thought this was my chance to escape from here.
Wheeeeeek –
Light began to appear in the distance.
A human voice was also heard.
Finally, I escaped from there.
but.
The informant who witnessed the scene felt goosebumps rising again.
“….!”
A small house.
The fire that bloomed before it.
There was a person standing there.
Standing on the tip of the sword with bare feet.
Creepy –
Daughter –
Daughter –
– Hahahaha, good! Good!
A body that steps on the tip of a sword and jumps up lightly.
Even though both feet stepped on the tip of the sword countless times, there was no change in movement.
And then another voice was heard behind him.
“slip!”
“….!”
“You have a protective artifact. Sleep!”
In an instant, his vision darkened and his body fell to the floor.
“Is this the last one? Hmm? I recognize this face.”
“I think I saw it too.”
A crowd of robed people gathered around the fallen informant.
“You’re making a fool of the spirit master by encroaching on the place where the branches of the World Tree are located.”
“Mr. Dupont is right.”
“Oh, wasn’t it our magicians who subdued them?”
Those who had been murmuring soon shut their mouths.
“Shh! You must be quiet before you get kicked out any further.”
“That’s right.”
They have already been kicked out of the church once.
If we were to create any opportunity, we couldn’t afford to cause any more trouble.
“But, it seems like they were dispatched by the royal family, so is it okay to suppress them like this?”
“Hmm…”
“We just put them to sleep, didn’t the subjugation already happen?”
“That is true.”
Dupont, who had been stroking his beard, flinched and gestured.
“It seems the high elves have confirmed our presence. I think we should leave immediately.”
“Take them with you.”
Silence came as five people dressed in black were dragged across the floor.
