50 – Unfit Food (3)

So they ended up eating it.

I smiled as I watched these two men gulp down the curry.

After taking another spoonful of curry, the men looked at me in astonishment. I also looked at them and said a word.

“As expected, it’s effective.”

I thought about the conversation we had yesterday.

This method would not have worked if that conversation didn’t happen.

It was after finishing the curry yesterday. When Gujeon looked at the empty curry bowl fiercely, I said something.

“Hey, are you really possessed by curry?”

“No, it’s not like that. This isn’t a phenomenon that can possess me. If I think this level of phenomenon is dangerous, I can protect my mind.”

“You think it’s dangerous?”

Gujeon quickly washed the curry bowl and spoke.

“Yes, I consider everything related to phenomenon as dangerous. Danger is like a shield for the mind. As long as I raise this shield, I can defend against mental attacks from this level of phenomenon.”

“But what if you see a phenomenon and think it’s safe?”

Lowering the shield means being immediately possessed. That’s why I called this curry a strong phenomenon. It doesn’t look dangerous at all. It can even make a person like that in an instant. Damn it.”

I listened to those words and organized my thoughts.

And I asked one more question.

“So, if you have a moment where you feel safe, the phenomenon will dig into that feeling and possess the other person, right?”

Gujeon nodded at those words.

And through this conversation, I was convinced.

This ‘Curry Chulai’ operation will work.

Gujeon’s sister said that even taking a spoonful of this curry was difficult. But just eating it like this? Then Yi Injo can’t help but think of this curry as safe for a moment.

The result is this.

They had already swallowed a spoonful of curry.

Even now, they were swallowing two more spoonfuls and staggering.

“This, this curry. This is the truth. Take action. Take action quickly.”

“Ah, ack. I see. It’s showing, it’s showing. Before it shows more, quickly.”

The man stumbled, tears streaming down his face.

And like that, he staggered away somewhere.

I didn’t hold them back.

Instead, I said to the boy next to me:

“Let’s chase them.”

“Yes.”

And so, we chased after Lee In-jo, riding on electric scooters, engaging in food terrorism.

* * *

Lee In-jo turned corners a few times and got into a black van.

And as soon as the black van picked them up, it sped off on the road at a high speed. It was difficult to keep up on electric scooters.

But now, I had the genius boy, Gujeon, who attends Cheonji Academy, with me.

I shouted to Gujeon, who was riding behind me:

“Activate the booster!”

“Principle activation!”

Fortunately, Gujeon possessed the principle of output.

It was a principle that could lower or raise the output of something.

And so, we were able to barely catch up to the van.

And so, the 20-minute chase ended.

The van stopped in front of an ordinary-looking commercial building.

And now, I could see the two men, who were now shedding tears, being supported by some men and going down to the basement.

Without hesitation, we followed them. As we went downstairs, a wooden door with strange patterns engraved on it confronted us.

If it had been an iron door, it would have been a bit difficult.

But a wooden door.

Do they really think they can block my fist with just a wooden door? However, the little kid next to me murmured in confusion.

“This… doesn’t seem like an ordinary organization, does it? It’s a Bongmun with the territory of the Cheon Son engraved on a single tree. Even if the entire building collapses, this door seems like it would remain intact.”

“So?”

Without hesitation, I punched the wooden door with my fist.

And in that instant, my fist broke through the wooden door.

And the barrage began.

In just 10 seconds, the wooden door turned into splinters, undergoing a class change.

Seeing that, the rumors were amazed, and the people in the room were also astonished.

“W-who are you?”

“Did you come from heaven and earth? No, that can’t be.”

The room was unexpectedly a large Oriental-style office. To be precise, it was a strange sight, as if the bedroom and office had been combined.

And in that room were about ten men and women.

Most of them were holding bells, dolls, flags, or mirrors, which was cute. One person was holding a decorative sword, but the blade was too dull to even slice an apple.

But the rumors trembled in their voices.

“We, we’re all high-level Seekers. Only those who are doing well in the Three Arrows or Moon Sect use them.”

The old man, who seemed to be in charge, spoke with a slight relaxation after reading the rumors’ fear.

“Who are you to come in so rudely without even knowing who we are?”

“Who are you guys? Anyway, it’s because of you that people almost got food poisoning. We’ve come to claim compensation.”

I replied while stretching.

Then the old man said a word.

“Oh, you came because of that. How pitiful. If you surrender immediately, I will tell you the solution to that matter.”

I laughed upon hearing his words.

And I clenched my fist.

“Well, how about this? If you surrender right now, I’ll stop the compensation within a reasonable amount and give you a suitable remedy and recipe.”

“How arrogant. You seem to have no sense of enlightenment. Did you break that wooden door by a fluke?”

The old man nodded his head and said.

“If you can capture me, then go ahead.”

With those words, a man and a woman came out from behind the old man. The woman shook the bell in my ear, making it jingle, and the man pulled out flags of various colors and tickled me in different parts of my body.

What kind of circus is this?

I paused for a moment at their pathetic sight.

But the woman shook the bell in my ear as if swinging a tambourine, very seriously, and the man gave me a serious expression and tickled my body with the flag.

I had to hold back my laughter and tense my face.

“This is the power of a superior Juju!”

“Wow, this performance is incredible. I really want to try using it for real.”

Even the man and woman were speaking nonsense.

At times like this, I really feel overwhelmed.

What am I doing here right now?

Why has the world changed to this extent?

I let out a small sigh. Then, I held the heads of the woman with jingling droplets and the man with fluttering flags and made them kiss each other.

Of course, the kiss was too intense and they both fainted with their noses bleeding. As they fell, I said a word.

“Ugh, the Juju is quite powerful.”

Upon hearing those words, an old man shouted.

“Author, this person is strong!!! Everyone, pour as much power as possible into your Juju! We can’t win with just our abilities. We need to increase our chances of victory with Juju battles that the enemy doesn’t have!!!”

And so, the show began.

From the man suddenly starting a card game to the woman poking needles into dolls, to the crazy person suddenly shining a mirror on my face and making victory declarations.

I really don’t know how to react in these situations.

I endured the overwhelming feeling and said.

“Ah, it hurts so much.”

As I said that, I truly made the guys feel pain.

For a moment, when the man playing cards completed a royal straight flush, my fist paused. When the man made a proud expression, I couldn’t help but applaud.

Of course, it was a tragedy that the man’s head was in the center of the applause. Only the old man remained, spinning the small rosary with great effort.

“Euurgh!”

I heard the sound of spinning the rosary with great effort. However, just spinning the rosary didn’t suddenly make me collapse.

Crash-

And so, even the old man fell.

The office where only the old man and I remained.

After scanning the office, I said.

“Alright, let’s take everything that could be valuable.”

* * *

After searching the office for an hour,

We found quite a lot in this office.

First, there were documents.

According to these documents, this place was one of the offices of a cult called “Mireukgyo.” Upon a quick examination of the documents, Mireukgyo was a religion that claimed a Messiah named Mireuk would soon appear.

Furthermore, there were documents implying the existence of a celestial being who supports Mireukgyo.

In the storage room of these offices, I was able to find boxes filled with retort foods.

And in the center of the storage room, in a shrine-like place sealed with talismans, the retort foods that caused this problem were respectfully displayed.

I collected the retort foods.

While doing so, I asked Goojeon to cook a few of them.

Because this office had a kitchen-like area.

And the men who had eaten the curry were receiving healing, with talismans attached to them. There was a bundle of talismans next to them, so I collected all of them as well.

While collecting the bundle of talismans, I asked:

“Do you know how to use these?”

“Yes, I learned at Cheonji Academy. Judging by the written method, it seems to be a spell that repels the traces of a very great existence. Anyway, I think it will be effective for my sister. But to imply such a great existence through curry… what could possibly be in it?”

Anyway, with this, I’ll be able to heal Goojeon’s sister.

Now, have I thoroughly searched everything?

No, I haven’t searched their pockets.

I searched them, but nothing special came out.

There wasn’t even a cellphone.

But they had wallets, so I took them as my spoils of victory.

“Well, nothing came out. Should I tell the headquarters to arrest these guys?”

Now, it was time to search the bosom of the old man who looked like the leader. Besides not having a cellphone, the old man didn’t even have a wallet. All he had was a worn-out book.

The book’s title was written in Chinese characters.

When I searched for the characters, the book was titled “Mireuk Jangum Gyeong.”

“Mireuk Jangum Gyeong.”

I flipped through the first chapter of the book.

In the next chapter, there was a picture of a young girl. To be precise, it was a picture of a girl receiving bows from numerous people.

When I saw that picture, I dropped it from my hands.

“No, why? Why is this girl’s picture here?”

Underneath the picture, the words “Greetings to the Reverend Mireuk” were written.

I, I knew this girl.

This girl is my younger sister.

She looked exactly like Harin, my younger sister.

So I ended up saying those words without even knowing it.

“Ha, that’s a picture of the apprentice.”

“Don’t casually mention his honor.”

Then, the old man who had been lying down murmured.

And the man writhed and got up.

Then, he angrily spoke.

“Don’t casually mention his honor…”
