“Would you like to have some dessert? “This is where the butler works, and it’s a very good cake restaurant.”

Pastor Aesoo Cheon ordered a drink at a cafe.

I was in the middle of a ranch meeting and there was only one drink, so I didn’t have to order anything new.

I didn’t really want to eat it.

What I’m curious about is that Pastor Aesoo Cheon, who I thought had no relationship at all, and my mother knew each other.

Now that I think about it, I think she said her mother’s hometown was Gaeryong City.

She didn’t just come down to her hometown and get a job?

Sch-.

I glanced at the man sitting across from me in the corner of the cafe.

He was a stocky man with broad shoulders.

Age is approximately early 50s.

It was the image of a retired firefighter, police officer, or soldier.

No one would have thought he was a pastor if he had not worn a shirt and a Roman collar. Look at how thick the trapezius muscles are. I don’t think I can win even if there are 10 people.

Pastor Aesoo Cheon said.

“You’ve grown a lot. The last time I saw him, he was a baby as small as a fist. Time flies so quickly. How about Chaeyeon? “I heard he comes and goes?”

My mother’s acquaintance.

He is someone who knows about me when I was young….

I had been fighting with ghosts and experiencing all kinds of abuse for the past few days, so I couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

You’re probably not fooling me.

I answered appropriately.

“Is your mother okay?”

“Is that so?”

Sch-.

Pastor Cheon Ae-su took out his cell phone.

It was the latest model she saw advertised when she went to fix her mother’s cell phone recently.

“Look at this. In the past, your mom and dad were exactly the size you are now. “Did you tell me that your dad and your mom met in the high school class at our church?”

「1St Yeonggwang Church High School Gaeryong Mountain Retreat」

In the photo, several people were holding placards in their hands and smiling brightly.

He was similar in age to me, but I could feel the traces of time.

“Look. “This is your mom and this is your dad.”

“… ….”

“You don’t like talking about your father, do you?”

I paid attention to those around me.

Jojal jojal, jojal jojal.

Inside a cafe where people are chatting wildly.

It’s a little late in spring to turn on the air conditioner, but it’s very hot.

The glass I sipped out of awkwardness was left with nothing but ice.

“Eternal. I’m sorry about your father. Chaeyeon also had a hard time after that day. Still, I hope you get over it and live a new life. “Everyone has a chance to live a new life.”

Everyone has a chance to live a new life….

That story suddenly reminded me of the story of the ‘facility butler’.

According to Jeongseok, there is a criminal in this Yeonggwang Church who cut off a high school girl’s head and didn’t pay for it?

The moment I remembered that, I came to my senses.

If I continue to be swayed by the pace of ‘Pastor Cheon Ae-su’, I will end up showing only my cards.

Let’s calm down.

After-.

I took a deep breath in my heart.

Is it because of the effect of the newly acquired Strong Heart?

I was able to calm down faster than I thought.

“Pastor. “I want to ask you something. How long have you been at this Yeonggwang Church?”

“I am the founding pastor of this church.”

“From what I heard… I heard there was something like a Seonangdang tree before this church was built. Is it real? “I’m writing a report on the history of Gaeryong City.”

Even though the report was a lie, I didn’t feel any remorse.

I guess I have to live first!

We need to gather a lot of information!

“There was a big tree. It was very ugly. Construction had to start, but no one wanted to cut down the trees. They say they will be punished from heaven. So I cut it down myself with an ax and a chainsaw.”

“Oh.”

“My office chair and desk are made from that Seonangdang tree.”

… If it were me, I don’t think I would have done something like that because I was scared of being cursed.

He was a very fearless person.

“Then what happened to the head shaman? Isn’t there a shaman at the head of the family who worships the Seonangdang tree? “What happened to that shaman?”

“Shaman?”

Pastor Aesoo Cheon frowned.

The pastor actually asked back.

“Why shamans? They are people that are not good to be close to. “Most of them are fake and follow very wrong spirits, so don’t even wonder.”

Yes. There’s no way a pastor would like to talk about shamans.

It was a natural reaction.

I was also expecting this kind of reaction, so I said what I had thought of in advance.

“I heard that my friend Juhee’s maternal family was a shaman for generations. Should I say that I am curious as to whether Joo Hee would have become a shaman if she had not gone to church? Of course, things like shamans are all tricks and lies.”

“It’s a lie. It’s not necessarily all lies. “There are even stories in the Bible about ghosts, devils, and Satan entering people’s bodies to deceive and deceive them.”

“Hmm.”

“Do you know what the most terrible of ghosts is? It is the spirit of suicide. These spirits cause people to despair and commit suicide. The head shaman of Seonangdang committed suicide. “He hung himself at school.”

A shaman who hung himself at school!

Just as I expected, the Gaeryong native shaman was the bell ghost I saw at school!

“Did you commit suicide because of the shock of cutting down the Seonangdang tree?”

“No. The church was opened only after the shaman committed suicide. I bought the land that was for sale and built the church. Approximately 16 years from now… It was 17 years ago. She was a very young woman. “She was twenty.”

Twenty?

The calculation is a bit strange? Yeongji High School was built 40 years ago.

Then, shouldn’t the head shaman of Seonangdang, who had a shaman battle with Yang Joo-hee and her grandmother, be quite old?

“Was it a different shaman than the one who fought with Joohee’s grandmother when Youngji High School was being built? I found it in Mayor Gaeryong’s autobiography. Here.”

I took out the autobiography I received from Jeong Seok from my bag and showed it to Pastor Cheon Ae-su.

Pastor Aesoo Cheon looked at the part I pointed to and laughed.

“Hey. Have you read the former mayor’s autobiography? You are very serious about your assignment. Good. Let me tell you, the person who fought with Joo-hee’s grandmother was the mother of the shaman who committed suicide. She must have been like that. There was a bit of an age difference.”

“Ah.”

“When the school was built, opinions were very divided. I remember that time too. The Japanese shaman and the original head of the family killed each other with swords. That’s right. “The school construction was going to be canceled.”

“Really? “Looking here, I heard that the new shaman performed a Nureum exorcism and the construction was completed safely?”

“Okay. The head of the family, who was opposed to the school construction, suddenly passed away. I don’t know the reason or the cause. She just passed away suddenly. Remember. The lady had a very young daughter. The girl eventually followed her mother and became a shaman… He hanged her. Why do all shaman daughters want to become shamans? Tsk.”

That’s what it is.

Then shall I ask you one last question?

“Then why did the shaman commit suicide? “Did she find something or something?”

“Well. I don’t know much about that either. I was pastoring in Seoul when the shaman hanged her. Gwanak First Presbyterian Church. “It’s a very magnificent church, like Jericho.”

Sseuk seu-.

It was Pastor Cheon Ae-soo stroking his chin.

I was able to intuitively realize that Pastor Aesoo Cheon had vaguely answered my last question and lied.

It meant that Pastor Cheon Ae-su was also a liar, which meant that he was an ordinary adult.

Because all adults lie.

“What did you talk about with the pastor like that?”

On my way back home after my time at church.

Yang Joo-hee seemed curious about my long conversation with Pastor Cheon Ae-su.

I spoke honestly.

“My mother’s story. “I heard my mom used to be a member of the high school here.”

“Really? “So your mom went to high school at church and she gave birth to you?”

… ….

It happens again.

I was embarrassed so I just gave it a quick answer.

“Hey. Joohee Yang. “Why are you pad lipping?”

“… “What kind of pad lip is this!”

“Anyway. We also talked about the shaman of Seonangdang. I heard that the shaman who fought with your grandmother suddenly died? And the shaman’s daughter also became a shaman, but she hanged herself and died at Yeongji High School.”

“Wow. What kind of story is there? Horrible.”

Yang Joo-hee frowned as if she was displeased.

If you think about it quietly… Is the family of indigenous shamans losing a power struggle to Yang Joo-hee and her grandmother, a Japanese shaman from overseas, and the family is completely ruined?

Yang Ju-hee’s mother’s family took over the position of an indigenous shaman and continued to rise thanks to the support of the Cheon clan.

But… The granddaughter, Yang Yang-hee, disappeared somewhere in the old school, and because of that, her family was ruined, and when she came to Yang Joo-hee… He was a bully who stole her friend’s cutter knife.

I suddenly became curious.

“Hey. Your maternal grandmother… “How are you?”

“He suffered from dementia and passed away a few years ago. My mom had a lot more trouble than I thought because she suffered from dementia from a young age. “She lived in our house and she passed away some time after her sister disappeared.”

I see.

It was a fruitful Sunday as I learned more information than I expected.

Mr. Cheon was the owner of the mansion.

The fight between shamans.

High school girls disappearing from Yeongji High School.

The hallway of nightmares.

I felt like everything was connected.

Then what am I, Ha Young-won?

Am I a complete outsider in this case?

I don’t know why I’m playing ghost defense with a strange status window.

I guess I have no choice but to explore the “Nightmare Corridor” Further.

On my way back home, I told Yang Joo-hee about “The Corridor of Nightmares.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Like that game you played last time?”

“Okay. It just feels that way. There are a lot of ghosts. So, you better be prepared. I might really pee myself. Still, you’ll go with me, right? “You might find your sister.”

I was now full of motivation.

Hallway Exploration Team Ha Young-won, Jeong Seok, Yang Joo-hee Let’s go!

There was only one seat left….

You can’t include people like Jeong So-jin or Kim Geon-ho.

Sch-.

I looked at the message I sent to Dahee Yoo.

「Are you okay? How is it?”

The ‘1’, the receipt indicator, has not yet disappeared from the message I sent yesterday.

I thought about calling her, but it seemed like I was being too clingy, so I stopped.

“Hey. Hey Joohee. “Then let’s meet later in my dreams.”

“Ah. “It’s so f*cking cringy.”

After taking Yang Joo-hee home, I returned home.

Today, I really have to enter the “Nightmare Corridor” For the second time!

With that thought in mind, I was about to go up the stairs… There was something pitch black crouching on the 4th floor stairs in front of our house with the lights off!

“Oh my god! It’s a surprise!”

I was really surprised.

It felt like I was bouncing 2 meters into the air.

To be honest, if I hadn’t had a strong heart, I might have died of a heart attack.

Has a ghost appeared again?

As I was shocked, the light on the 4th floor suddenly turned on and I saw a familiar face.

“Oh. You. “It’s Dahee.”

“… ….”

The identity of the stranger crouching in front of our house was Yoo Da-hee.

Yoo Da-hee said.

“… Eternal. “Can I let you sleep at my house?”

“… “You’re sleeping?”

When I looked closely, I saw that Yoo Da-hee wasn’t even wearing shoes.

Standing on the floor with feet wearing stockings.

For some reason, the clothes are school uniforms.

“Dahee. “What the hell is going on?”

“I left the house.”

Oh wow.

Running away from home.

“Since when have you been like this? You should have at least contacted me.

“Since this morning. Cell phone… It was confiscated as soon as I got home yesterday. So I just sneaked out.”

I was dizzy.

Have you been waiting for me from this morning until evening? I guess there was a mix-up because I was at church.

Then suddenly, I began to have doubts.

The richest girl in the province runs away from home and waits for me like a wet puppy in front of my house?

This is impossible unless it is a dream or a delusion.

“… “Aren’t you a ghost or something?”

Because I used both bottles of “Silent Perfume,” The effect of hiding from ghosts was still continuing.

But isn’t there something that happens once in a while?

Tuk-.

The light on the stairs on the 4th floor, which had been turned on by detecting movement with a sensor, went off.

Yoo Da-hee spoke in the darkness.

“… “You got caught?”

“Mom!”

“Phew! I’m kidding. “Youngwoni, you are really funny.”

Forgot-.

The light came on again.

I somehow felt like I was possessed by a fox, but Yoo Da-hee was laughing hard.

“Who said that? It is said that ghosts are dead souls, so their hearts do not beat. Eternal. “If you’re that scared, feel my heart and see if it’s beating or not.”

Sch-.

Yu Da-hee hid his hands behind his hips and pushed out his bulging chest under his school uniform vest.

I suddenly felt dizzy!

A high school girl is asked to touch her breasts to see if she is a ghost or not! Does this make sense?

Isn’t this too convenient for Ha Young-won?

Am I dreaming right now?

Yes! What if this is also an advanced trap?

I have no choice but to check and move on.

“Then…” Are you really checking it?”

Sch-.

I take my time… hand… Stretched!
