I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

31 – The Trend is Government Officials (2)

* * *

Can I lie as a vow?

I pondered deeply.

Jamsoon said that breaking a vow brings terrible retribution, and the Celestial Vowbelievers believed in my lies so much that it turned into reality.

Based on that situation, there was no possibility of lying as a vow. Then, this person really is the director of the Extraordinary Phenomena Countermeasures Headquarters.

Director of the Extraordinary Phenomena Countermeasures Headquarters.

If he is a director, then he must be an extremely high-ranking figure just below the chief of the Countermeasures Department.

And from what I’ve seen in the news, even the person who holds the position below the director of the Countermeasures Department was an impressive individual. They criticized ministers of other ministries and lectured CEOs of major companies.

But a director higher than that director? If I were to save the life of such a director, wouldn’t I be able to receive a recommendation letter or gain a significant advantage in interviews?

Could this be my opportunity?

Is the day finally coming when I can escape being unemployed?

“Ah, the director of the Countermeasures Department. Why would such a person be here?”

My lips curled up involuntarily.

A government official, guaranteed by the four major insurances and a pension.

The most important thing was that, in general, they were not easily dismissed, like a stable source of income.

Even if it was revealed that I had no psychic powers, I could just brush it off and say, “Oh, I’m just a government official.” So what’s the big deal? Can they dismiss a government official just because they have no psychic powers?

And on top of that, a government official from the Countermeasures Department.

Isn’t that the highest elite in the government official world?

In reality, it was a place I never thought I could enter, being practically incompetent.

“You, even in this situation, seem to be maintaining your composure quite well. Are you really an incredibly powerful psychic?”

The man who introduced himself as Director Yidojun muttered. I smiled and accepted his words. He would be my future boss, so I should be kind.

“In a sense, you could say I am the strongest on Earth.”

“The strongest on Earth?!”

I didn’t lie.

Without psychic powers, I would just be beaten up in a fight.

As soon as I heard those words, Director Lee Do-joon grabbed my hand tightly.

“If you’re a powerful Ability User like yourself, you should know better than to disrespect and mock our Countermeasures Headquarters.”

“Dis, disrespect? I didn’t…”

It’s my future workplace, who would dare to mock it?

Whoever it is, they won’t say such things in front of me.

“Nevertheless, can you please help me? I will reward you generously.”

“W-what do I need to do?”

No matter how badly I wanted a job, if it was too dangerous, I had to decline. Let’s listen first and then decide.

“There should be something that looks like a transmission tower nearby. No, that must be the transmission tower.”

“A transmission tower?”

Was there anything like that around here?

I don’t recall seeing anything like that.

“We have to destroy that transmission tower. Please help me.”

“If it’s a transmission tower, it must be made of steel. Well, um, I can break concrete with my bare hands but I can’t break steel.”

“No, I can destroy the transmission tower. Please, please help me. I will reward you generously.”

So, if I find something like a transmission tower while wandering around the neighborhood, I can receive a reward? If it’s a reward provided by the government, it will definitely give me extra points for civil service employment.

Perhaps it will even give me the opportunity to be selected through special appointment as a reward. Of course, since it was a task requested by a high-ranking official, I felt like there must be something fishy about it.

But if the trap is related to ghosts,

So if I can see ghosts, that would be great.

I spoke up.

“Why not give it a try.”

Led by Yoo Ha-jin, Lee Do-joon moved towards the transmission tower.

That strange iron tower that absorbed cars through navigation.

That was the transmission tower.

“We need to remove it quickly, before it gets any bigger.”

“So, what’s the plan for removing it?”

The man, who appeared to be an ordinary human but spoke with the power of a monster, said. Various abnormal phenomena, related to this extraordinary phenomenon, which strives to kill people, disappeared instantly as they attempted to reach this man.

The abnormal phenomenon that infects people’s bodies with grotesque flesh dissolved as soon as it touched the flesh and disappeared, and the drawing that traps people’s minds in hellish places disappeared without a trace as it was staring at it.

“You’re strong. To break through all of this.”

“I, I am a bit strong, you know. Ah, there’s so much of it. No, right? Anyway, it’s there. It’s very visible!!!”

Perhaps this is the manifestation of the transcendent psychic abilities that only the elite members of the foundation can fully unleash. Unlike other psychic abilities who vaguely realize the foundation, the elite members from the beginning can use the ultimate abilities such as bodily manifestation and supernatural sensory perception.

It is probably a defensive power deployment.

With that in mind, Yidokjun asked again,

“Did you ask about a way to remove the transmission tower?”

“Yes. Do you have anything like a bomb?”

“A bomb? Similar.”

Yidokjun took out a small keyboard from his pocket.

The keyboard was dyed black like obsidian and shimmered.

“One of the relics of the Thousand Demons, the Forbidden Artifact.”

“The relic of the Thousand Demons? It looks like a keyboard?”

“It’s just a form that has changed to suit the modern era. This is an absolute psychic who fought against all the psychics in the world 500 years ago. It is a legacy left by a being called the Thousand Demon. You must have heard of the Thousand Demon.”

Of course, Yuhajin only knew about the Thousand Demon and had never heard of the Forbidden Artifact.

In the first place, there was not much information left about the existence of Mara Papayas and the Thousand Demon.

“To find out about the Thousand Demon, there is no choice but to look into that cult.”

Fortunately, before Yuhajin asked about the Forbidden Artifact, the director explained first.

“That’s right, it’s possible that you don’t know about the Forbidden Artifact. Anything related to the Thousand Demon 500 years ago is virtually classified. This Forbidden Artifact is a main weapon that is activated after enlightenment. The more you use it, the weaker your own psychic abilities become. But instead, it is a main weapon that exerts a power different from other main weapons.”

“Hmm. Then what happens to someone who uses the Forbidden Artifact and completely loses their psychic abilities?”

In response to Yuhajin’s question, Yidokjun spoke with a stern face.

“Their soul is annihilated. It’s called ‘Eternal Demise’. The soul is maintained through enlightenment. And enlightenment is equivalent to psychic ability. A soul without any psychic ability cannot exist at all.”

Yuhajin listened to those words disappointedly.

Because she thought that if enlightenment completely disappeared, there would be people who couldn’t see ghosts like her.

“Putting that aside, if I use it, the more I use it, the more my psychic abilities will disappear. Since I already don’t have psychic abilities, I can use it without any risk, right?”

Yuhajin looked at the Forbidden Artifact with greedy eyes.

How long did it take?

The garden, which looked so warm and peaceful, spread out to the right, and on the left, dozens of girls stimulated the man’s desire, hiding their bodies shyly or exposing their bodies pretending to be shy.

“Ah···.”

Yidokjun was so exhausted.

He wanted to rest even a little.

So he took a step towards the garden.

He deceived himself, saying that he was going in the opposite direction in order not to play with those girls. Maybe this phenomenon was induced to make him think like this.

I shouldn’t go any further…

At that moment, someone grabbed him.

“Director, is that the transmission tower over there? The cars look like some kind of superconductor.”

“Oh, um, yes.”

The man who grabbed him was the man who supported him. He didn’t waver at all in the temptation of a special phenomenon as if nothing was visible. If the man hadn’t been a strong telepath, he would have looked up to him with respect.

Director Lee recognized the man who supported him.

This man was not just someone with strong power.

He also possessed tremendous mental strength.

After his judgment of the man was finished, Director Lee could not help but ask the question buried deep in his heart.

“Why are you helping me like this?”

Strong telepaths despise the Korean government. They say that Korea should be destroyed and that their own new government should take over.

If the leader of Cheonji had not prevented such behavior, the government might have already been overturned and a new country established.

“Our government restrains you with the law.”

No matter how strong the telepaths were, they had to abide by the law.

That was the will of the Korean government.

However, strong telepaths tried to overthrow the government in order to take advantage of one reason. That’s why Director Lee regretted speaking as soon as he did.

“Strong telepaths have strong pride and are cruel. What a mistake I made.”

If this person’s mood gets worse, he will immediately abandon himself and leave. Then he will be subjected to ridicule by this phenomenon and die. No, that was not more important right now.

The transmission tower had to be destroyed at all costs.

But it was impossible without the help of this telepath.

So, Director Lee was about to kneel down and apologize, betting everything. But the man’s words stopped his actions.

“Telepaths should also obey the law.”

Yu Hajin said this with a serious expression.

Why did a prestigious person like Director Lee suddenly ask such a question?

Of course, there was nothing else but the interview.

Yu Hajin had already entered the interview to select special recruits.

“Come to think of it, it was strange that a prestigious person like Director Lee was rolling around without subordinates and suffering from this phenomenon. At first, I thought it was some kind of trap. It’s an undercover interview. I finally got a real chance. I have to make government-friendly statements as much as possible.”

After finishing his thoughts, Yu Hajin opened his mouth.

“Were telepaths born and raised alone? Because society existed, a helpless baby could grow up safely, and that child could grow up to become a strong telepath.”

Yoo Hajin said with a smile. And Chief Kook was deeply moved by his words. To say such things after his rude remarks. After awakening his vision for 6 years, this was the first time he had met someone with such kindness, strength, and kindness in their psychic abilities. “If there was no country called South Korea, one-fourth of the psychic abilities users who are going crazy thinking they are strong would not have become adults. If they also know that, they would naturally follow the law, and I think we should help them maintain this country with their powers.” After finishing these words, Yoo Hajin applauded in his heart. With this pro-government statement, he must have earned some points from the chief, right? Ha, it really shows that I’ve been to over 100 interviews. “Really, thank you for your kind words.” Upon hearing those words, Chief Lee Duk-jun raised his head for a moment and then lowered it again. All the things he was going through were being transmitted to the command center through the black box. It was also the tradition of the staff of the command center to collect information about anomalies even if they died. Perhaps information about the man in front of him had already been transmitted. Now he only wished that other staff members at the command center also knew that there was a kind psychic like him and that they did not lose hope. And so, without realizing it, they had arrived in front of a strange transmission tower made of intertwined cars. Looking at the transmission tower, Chief Lee muttered, “You, you are a very likable person. It’s a shame that we only met now.” “Thank you for viewing me favorably.” Yoo Hajin thought with a smile. This is almost a pass. “Harini told me not to get involved with psychics and there are no strong psychics among the civil servants. Strong psychics all lean towards factions or sects. It’s the civil servant society. It’s exactly the organization I want.” The certificate of becoming a civil servant was already visible in Yoo Hajin’s eyes. He started thinking about what to buy with his first salary. At that moment, Chief Lee took out a black keypad from his pocket. It was one of the cursed keys. Holding the keypad, Chief Lee said, “Now I’m going to die. Leave my corpse here and leave.” Yoo Hajin could only gasp at the sudden declaration of suicide by the interviewer. Surely this man, he used the cursed key so much that he almost lost all his abilities and was on the verge of disappearing? “Huh?” Yoo Hajin’s civil servant certificate was about to tear apart. He had to stop that. “Wait, stop!!!”
