I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts - I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts chapter 17

17 – The Amazing Smartphone (1)

You, the psychics, are looking at me with the expression of our village’s hero.

I lost my words when I looked at these psychics.

No, you should be the ones to speak.

I’ve chosen to be the support.

And I’m going to go ham in team fights.

I couldn’t say it like this.

I couldn’t reveal that I’m a powerless non-psychic.

Instead, I spoke with a stern expression.

“I’ll take care of the front. The rest of you follow me.”

I wanted to take care of the front. Why?

Because I can’t see ghosts.

People usually look forward, not backward.

If I stood in the back and missed a ghost attacking from behind, I’d be done for. But in the front, even if I can’t see the ghost, the people behind me would react with something like, “That’s Hahyun Oni! No, a malicious spirit!”

What? Is it difficult to escape when you’re in the front?

What nonsense. I already said it, but when you want to escape, just run sideways. Except for the part with the iron fence, the patrol area is an open space in three directions.

In that sense, the front is the best for me.

Then the kids’ reactions become even stranger.

“The forward position is the most dangerous when breaking through the supernatural phenomenon. Heh. How embarrassing.”

“f*ck, honestly, he’s so damn cool.”

“Tsk, it’s nothing special. If I train a little more, I can be a guy like that too!”

What? The front line is the most dangerous?

Come to think of it, wouldn’t it be safer to stand in the middle?

“When I think of today’s celestial energy…”

“Let me stand as the third from the back. I received a divine revelation related to the Guardians…”

However, the telekinetics were already whispering among themselves and setting positions. They seemed to be discussing something professional, so I decided not to interrupt and maintained a solemn concept.

At that moment, a man came to greet us.

The man had white hair.

He was also quite good-looking.

But I didn’t have a hobby of analyzing men’s faces in detail.

“Hello, Master Yu Hajin.”

“Who is this?”

“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. My name is Gu On.”

“Gu On? I’ve heard that name before.”

The chick next to me began to chirp.

That aside, Gu On. I’ve heard that name too.

“You were certainly a detective who received several requests from our family.”

“Oh, I’ve received many genuine requests as well. You are Jin Ga’s daughter, right?”

The chick showed suspicion and asked.

“Why are you pretending to know? What is your purpose?”

“Oh, no. I’m sorry. I should have shown this first.”

Despite the chick’s rude tone, Gu On just laughed as if it didn’t bother him. Apart from that, that chick wasn’t only sharp with me but also with other people.

“Here, it’s Auntie’s insignia.”

“Auntie’s insignia…! Auntie sent it!”

“This time, I received a request to protect Jin Ga’s daughter. In that sense, Master Yu Hajiin, would you allow me to stand behind Jin Ari?”

What should I do about this?

I remembered the black snowflake I saw before.

Certainly, such nonsense was going around.

＜Failed assassination attempt. The master is furious.＞

The next assassination will take place during the second test. It has been decided to hire the assassin Guon who passed the first test.

“Are you talking about the gray spider Guon?”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

Most likely, this Guon is the assassin who came to kill the chick.

But how do I explain this?

Will the chick believe me without any evidence?

“Hey, Chick.”

“Yes?”

“Do you believe in that Guon guy?”

In response, the chick spoke with conviction.

“Yes, I believe. I have my aunt’s mark. She is one of the few people who I consider to be my real family.”

“Yeah, can you trust that mark?”

“Of course. It’s a mark created by a high-ranking telepath, infused with her will. If this guy named Guon goes against my aunt’s will, the mark will immediately vanish.”

I see.

So this woman called Aunt wants to kill you.

How do I convince you of this fact?

Suddenly, when I see this kind of thing, I can’t help but feel that Jamsuni, who mostly listens to what I say, is really amazing.

“So, if I try to keep that Guon guy far away from you, which side would you choose?”

“Cheep…? Why are you asking that?”

“Because I can’t trust this guy named Guon.”

In response, the chick’s face turned angry.

“As I thought, you are just like those people. You’re the kind of guy who tries to imprint and control me.”

“I’ve never tried to control you. I just can’t trust that guy.”

“You said you can’t trust Aunt as well. But you want to rely on only yourself.”

What nonsense is this again?

However, the chick’s expression seemed serious.

“Ugh. Do you think I’m just a silly little chick who only chirps? Ha, do you think I would trust you rather than the man that my aunt sent? Of course, you saved me once, but that was to repay the debt for destroying Chunsu.”

It was somewhat amusing to see the girl getting angry and flapping her arms. Jamsuni had a charisma that even made me feel intimidated when she got angry, but suddenly, comparing her to this chick made me realize once again how amazing she is…

“Fine, I don’t care about what you think of me, but make sure to get rid of this Chunsu guy. And it’s okay to bring that Guon guy too, just stay behind me.”

In my heart, the chick doesn’t have the qualifications to win.

I wanted to just say it’s unfair, but I decided to endure it.

This could be seen as a joint promotion battle between a chick and me.

If the chick dies, I’ll also fall. It’s a situation like a dog.

Truly a catastrophic fate community.

“Hmph, I will never imprint on someone like you.”

Even though the chick showed such insolence,

I knew I had to let it slide.

“Well, luckily I didn’t curse at you.”

Speaking of which, that guy named Guon.

I always have to be careful around him.

Did he say something about a gray spider?

What kind of ability does a spider have?

I searched for the abilities of characters who use spider webs on my smartphone. Oh, I see. There are these kinds of abilities.

When I use my smartphone, people look at me strangely again. Even the grumbling chick chirped?! It looked at me from a distance.

“It’s common sense not to use a smartphone in the supernatural.”

“Why is that common sense?”

“Obviously, the information gets distorted. In that sense, you shouldn’t read books or stare at pictures for too long either. Don’t you know that kind of common sense?”

Ah, is that so?

But I didn’t care about that stuff.

I couldn’t see ghosts.

But I couldn’t let this fact be revealed.

“I don’t care. I have special psychic abilities.”

Ignoring the chick’s words, I headed towards the patrol team. The patrol team was waiting for me. And they each had their own things to say.

“It’s amazing to be able to read in the supernatural. Truly overwhelming genius!”

“Even though we’re not much different in age, such strength. It’s scary.”

I’m scared of your reactions too.

With that, I lowered my head and entered the patrol.

The DMZ is said to be a special zone where numerous supernatural phenomena gather. These special phenomena are so complicated with various laws and rules that it’s practically impossible to create a manual.

That’s why it’s difficult to guess the correct answer.

Therefore, it is difficult to survive.

I can feel the tension of the people behind me.

Even I, who cannot sense ghosts, can feel the tension they are experiencing. I can’t even imagine what they might be seeing.

In that moment, a woman in the middle started yelling, “Would you like to buy a dream? Please buy a dream!”

“What the hell is this phenomenon?”

“There’s no manual, so who would know? Get rid of it first!”

Immediately, the team members tried to remove the woman.

“Hold on!”

I stopped the team members and quickly searched on my smartphone.

What is this phenomenon that forces people to buy dreams?!

—-

＜Korean Supernatural Phenomenon Countermeasure Headquarters＞

＜Dream Seller＞

＜Mental Contamination Phenomenon＞

The phenomenon of forcing people to buy dreams typically occurs in groups where there are colleagues. It is known that one should not attack when a colleague is possessed by this phenomenon. Dream sellers perceive even attacks as a cost to buy dreams.

The method to eliminate dream sellers is to instead force them to buy dreams. It is known that when forced to buy dreams, dream sellers mutter that they can no longer live with dreams and disappear.

I finished reading my smartphone within 5 seconds and shouted.

“Hey, you charlatan over there. How about selling dreams other than that crap?”

“I can’t buy dreams. My dreams are full. Dreams of being killed, dreams of suicide, dreams of black tentacles descending, dreams of being able to die while mistakenly thinking I can survive. Dreams that drive people crazy are stuffed into their heads.”

“Shut up and buy my dream.”

“No, I can’t. Can’t buy. Can’t buy because it’s full. Can’t buy!!!”

After saying that, the woman collapsed.

And she staggered and got up.

“Sob, sob. Ah, I’m alive. I’m alive!”

She said to me while crying.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

I nodded and looked around.

“Don’t act recklessly!”

Do not act recklessly.

“You primitive savages who can’t even use a smartphone!!!”

Does this look like the Headquarters for the Phenomenon Response Bureau of South Korea???

Are you questioning if the website for the Phenomenon Response Bureau, partially transformed into a phenomenon, looks like a shark because they have collected too much information on the phenomenon???

Upon hearing that, the primitive people nodded their heads and began praising me, who possessed the victory of civilization.

“How do you know how to deal with such unheard-of phenomena?”

“It’s because I have a lot of experience. That’s what a real pro is.”

“Impressive. I have no choice but to acknowledge it. Extraordinary person.”

“To survive in such a densely populated phenomenon with evil spirits. This is a miracle.”

By the way, even the psychics are afraid of ghosts.

Should I pretend to be afraid of ghosts too?

But deep inside my heart, something was telling me that I couldn’t stand such a shameful act.

“…?”

* * *

“A miracle indeed.”

Gamro, who was unfolding his return at the center of the DMZ, said. The celestial being who was escorting Gamro received those words.

“What do you mean by a miracle?”

“Not a single casualty has come out of the patrol team.”

“That’s impossible. Wasn’t the patrol team a team that was expendable? Even the GP team and the tunnel team have had quite a few casualties.”

Without being protected by the GP and without being protected by the tunnel, the patrol team was the most dangerous team. To think that not a single casualty came out of the patrol team.

“Yu Hajin, a man named Yu Hajin, is conquering all the phenomena. The others are just following his shadow. He’s saving everyone.”

“No, even he wouldn’t be able to do that.”

In an instant, Gamro’s voice trembled with tears.

“I thought the word ‘hero’ had already lost its meaning in this world.”

“Gamro-nim.”

“But it seems it hasn’t lost that meaning yet.”

Gamro bit his lips tightly.
