The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism chapter 102
102.
“To find someone with that servant?”
When Kwon Tae-soo arrived in downtown Seosan, he asked.
He looked disapprovingly at the servant Song Min-ho had sent.
“That’s true. It’s not like I’m looking for dowsing, and I made it uncomfortable.”
Now the bell was jingling once at intervals of about 10 seconds.
Seeing as there was no response at all until arriving in this city, it seems that there is a culprit here.
“How is this even there? I will instruct you in the direction, so keep going.”
Originally, I had to determine the direction by checking the frequency of the bell, but I didn’t have to.
Anyway, from the moment I received this bell, the arrow I saw was also pointing to the culprit.
At my words, Kwon Tae-soo nodded and continued driving.
Not long after that, we arrived at a shopping district lined with commercial buildings.
The bell there was now ringing once every three seconds.
Kwon Tae-soo frowned as if the sound was annoying.
The arrow is pointing to the inside of the alley that has entered a little from the main road.
“Looks like this is nearby. Let’s get off here.”
We parked the car in a suitable place and moved into the alley.
After moving only ten meters like that, the bell trembled as if vibrating.
It means that the culprit is in the immediate vicinity.
So I put the bell in my pocket and looked around.
The arrow points to the building next door.
And the figure of the culprit in the building was already clearly visible to me.
“That… ”
The culprit was at a convenience store.
The criminal is leisurely eating cup noodles inside the transparent glass wall.
However, the culprit was much younger than I expected, as I was expecting a middle-aged shaman.
“It looks like him.”
“Is that child?”
It was a high school girl still wearing her school uniform.
Long, straight hair, pale skin that looks like it’s in pain, and a skinny body.
Is that why?
Rather than accepting it, Kwon Tae-soo expressed his doubts first.
“Isn’t that kind of bullsh*t? No matter how young… ”
“no. It seems to fit.”
I said while looking at the level above the girl’s head.
The level shown there is 3.
It was an absurdly low level to be called a Mine.
That’s enough… Is it just at the level of opening the eyes?
It wasn’t that strange.
It’s been said that recently, a person died due to a curse.
Perhaps the karma brought about by that death brought about that student’s enlightenment.
“her… ”
At my words, Kwon Tae-soo was speechless.
He, who had raised the girl he had taken, seemed to be in a complicated state of mind.
“Since it doesn’t seem like Mine, it seems appropriate to talk about it first.”
“… Draw it, that’s how it should be.”
I urged Kwon Tae-soo to enter the convenience store.
When the bell at the door rang loudly, the eyes of the part-timer standing at the counter and the culprit simultaneously turned this way.
And unlike the part-timer staring at the police uniform I was wearing.
“… !”
The culprit opened his eyes wide and jerked his head the other way.
I winked at Kwon Tae-soo at that ridiculously honest response.
“here… what is it. red one. A persimmon with a red one?”
Then Kwon Tae-soo went to the counter and pretended to be looking for a cigarette that didn’t smoke, drawing the part-timer’s attention.
In the meantime, I approached the culprit.
The female student who was the culprit visibly flinched as I approached the sound of my footsteps. Even if she didn’t know that it wasn’t the culprit, she looked suspicious.
He doesn’t look like a person who is accustomed to crime.
“student?”
“Yes, why… ?”
Even when I spoke to her directly, she didn’t look at me until the end.
I just took a sip of the coffee next to the cup noodles to see if my throat was burning.
but,
“Have you ever been cursed?”
“Cheuk!”
At my words that followed, she coughed and spilled her coffee.
She continued talking after wiping her mouth and the table with the tissue next to her.
“No, it is not.”
“I know that it is not. Shall we talk for a minute?”
“that… warrant. There must be a warrant… ”
I don’t know where I heard it, but the student said the warrant.
it’s a warrant
In fact, even after becoming a police officer, I had never received a warrant or anything like that.
That’s why I didn’t need that at all when dealing with demons or monsters.
However, I also work as a regular police officer, and there were things I saw and heard.
“You don’t have to. Do you know what an emergency arrest is?”
“… I don’t know.”
“You can keep them locked up for 48 hours without a warrant. So let’s talk.”
Then the female student changed her expression to look like she was about to cry.
Then he looked at me and raised his voice in a small voice.
“here… Not here.”
“Then can we go to the police car?”
The female student shook her head.
Then he let out a big sigh and opened his mouth.
“Can’t we just go?”
“Can you?”
“madam… Then follow me.”
follow me?
It was a strange answer.
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to run away, and even if they run away, there’s nothing they can’t chase after.
No, since he was the culprit in the first place, he could be dragged if he wanted to be taken by force.
“… Ok, fine.”
The female student’s reaction was more suspicious than that.
The feeling of fulfilling what was instructed in advance somewhere.
Somehow it was strange that such a high school girl was the culprit, but it seemed clear that someone was behind it.
So I accepted her offer, and the girl put away her food and got up right away.
All the while, I noticed her parched wrists.
“No, Grandpa. There are no such cigarettes.”
“Oh, how are you? Then give me this.”
Then Kwon Tae-soo, who had lost his part-time job, also bought a chocolate and left the convenience store.
The student took us into an alleyway away from the convenience store.
A back alley between low buildings.
But someone was already there.
“uh? Hey, why are you here?”
In the back alley were two stern-looking men.
They appeared to be guards of some sort, guarding the iron gates leading into the building.
And one of them looked at the student and pretended to know.
The student looked at us following us.
Then, a look of insignificance appeared on the man’s face.
“Oh, hey again? That’s why you shouldn’t wear school uniforms.”
The man who said that called somewhere, and another man dealt with us.
He came this way with a mean smile.
“Oh, the police are working hard.”
“What are you?”
There was no level mark on the head.
He may be a criminal, but he is just a normal person.
So I decided to talk to them first.
“Us? You can think of us as his guardians.”
At the word guardian, the student’s face was shaded.
“Guardians are a b*tch… !”
“Come on, don’t be angry. Let’s talk to this person.”
As Kwon Tae-soo reacted, the man held out his smartphone.
Are you trying to talk to the person on the phone?
Once I received that smartphone.
“hello?”
“Where are you from?”
The other party asked the same question without hesitation.
So instead of answering, I threw a question.
“Who are you wearing?”
The answer came with a deep sigh.
“I am Lawyer Ha Kyung-jin of Ewha Law Firm. What about that one?”
“This is Inspector Kang Jin-woo of the National Police Agency Special Division.”
“crack… special edition?”
As if he didn’t know much about the special edition, he hesitated for a while before continuing.
“Anyway, that student is a child we are protecting. So please go back now.”
“Are you protected?”
“yes. It’s a minor, and it’s a matter that has the consent of the parental authority, so let’s go there.”
Hearing his words, I tilted my head.
It’s like the men in front of me, and what this law firm is doing.
It was because there were more people involved than I thought.
It seems that what was behind was not a simple group of criminals, but a more organized organization.
So I asked him one last question.
“Who exactly is protecting this student?”
“This is Serene Company. I am a lawyer appointed by Serene Company.”
“Ah, yes. All right. Then work hard.”
I said that and hung up.
If I knew the name of the company, I would have never heard of it.
“Then the cops… ”
“Okay, student. Let’s talk.”
I interrupted the man and said to the female student.
Then the man was taken aback, and the expression of the female student standing in the middle changed.
She was a bit surprised.
“No, didn’t you just hear?”
“I heard. But we come first.”
“What comes first-”
“My authority is higher, you bastard.”
In the case of exorcism, the general law is largely meaningless.
Even if the culprit was not a demon, it was because the investigation process was all managed by a special law.
So I casually ignored the previous call and tried to pick up the female student.
“If you understand, follow me now.”
“no! That doesn’t work.”
Then the two men stepped forward.
They stand in front of me, blocking the gap between the female student and me.
“I don’t know the authority, and I can’t take him.”
“Are you interfering with the execution of public affairs?”
“okay. If you want to catch me, would you catch me?”
They stood with their hands behind their backs with cynicism.
Attitude like what are you guys going to do if it comes out like this.
It seemed that he believed in the gentleman who was the lawyer.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of catching them.
“Brother, let’s put these away.”
“Come on, when did I say that?”
As if he had been waiting, Kwon Tae-soo stepped out.
The men looked at the old man and hardened their expressions.
And the next moment
“Cuck!”
“100 million!”
With a brief agony, they collapsed to the floor like distraught puppets.
In an instant, two large men passed out, and the female student behind them opened her mouth in surprise.
“Will you follow me now?”
At my question, the female student nodded slowly.
After a while, inside the police car.
“First, your name.”
“… Yeon Jiwoo.”
The culprit, a female student, revealed her name like that.
Then, after asking about the school I went to and where I live, I started a full-fledged newspaper.
“You know about the curse, right?”
“… Yes. I know.”
“Where did you learn to curse?”
“I learned from my grandmother.”
“grandma?”
“My grandmother was a shaman.”
The tone was a bit crooked, but Yeon Ji-woo answered the question obediently.
However, she soon looked at me with a strange gaze.
“By the way, uncle.”
“why?”
“Do you believe in curses?”
“then.”
“You know the curse, too?”
“know. I know something even greater.”
“if… Are you a shaman?”
“Not a shaman. The police are here to catch the cursers.”
“… … ”
In response, Yeon Ji-woo made a hard expression, and I explained the contents of the incident in the meantime.
Then Yeon Ji-woo opened his mouth with a slight cynicism.
“That’s right here. Besides me, there are more than 10 people who curse.”
“To that serine company?”
“What is a company? Those bastards are just gangsters. Garbage bastards.”
Yeon Ji-woo reacted sharply when the story about Serene Company came out.
“A gangster?”
“Currently, I pretend to be fine under the name of the company, but it was like that in the past.”
In response, I searched for the name Serene Company on my smartphone.
It was a company that reached out to various businesses, and it was a company of its own size with about 300 employees.
Are these the so-called corporate gangsters?
“Then how did you end up working there?”
Yeon Ji-woo was silent for a while, then slowly started talking.
It was her maternal grandmother who was a shaman who first became involved with the Serene Company.
A long time ago, the boss of the organization that leads the Serene Company visited her grandmother, a shaman, as an ordinary guest.
However, Yeon Ji-woo’s grandmother was a magical shaman who knew some magic tricks that actually work.
The boss of the organization desperately felt the effect and tried to use it as a means of crime.
“Even my grandmother never wanted to do it at first. It’s a curse, that’s why it’s so dangerous. But those babies… Catch my mother… ”
Yeon Ji-woo’s mother is not a shaman, but an ordinary person, and she said that she raised Yeon Ji-woo alone in place of her husband who died early.
The Serene Company held Yeon Ji-woo’s mother hostage and forced her to curse her.
The grandmother, whose daughter was in crisis, had no choice but to accept their demands, and said that was the beginning.
“So, is Grandma still at Serene Company?”
“no. He died because of a curse. Those bastards killed them. My grandmother, even when she closed her eyes, she couldn’t close them comfortably… Now tell me that grandma passed away. really… Dogs… ”
Did something like that happen?
I nodded and continued the question.
“Wasn’t the curse ritual passing the risk to the client?”
“Do you know how easy the curse is? Even if I hand over part of my consciousness to the client and do some sh*t, it all comes back to me in the end. Look at this.”
Yeon Ji-woo walked on one of his arms.
There was an arm that was nothing but bones.
“No matter how much I eat, I don’t gain weight. In the first place, not much goes into it. Even if I try to eat more, I always vomit.”
“Have you not reported it to the police?”
“i did it. I did… There’s a lawyer over there, and I didn’t think it would be useful to talk about the curse, so I didn’t explain it properly… ”
I chuckled and clicked my tongue.
If I’d rather talked about the curse, even the exorcism police would have intervened.
Because he didn’t say anything at all, he was just buried.
“Then, did all the curse-conscious people there get caught like you?”
“Most likely. If you’re sane, you can’t do this.”
At first, I thought it was just a few decent shamans gathering and conspiring.
I frowned at the more serious crime than I expected.
Even so, the opponent is a normal person.
How should I handle this case?
Should I ask Seo In-na?
While thinking about that, Yeon Ji-woo cautiously opened her mouth.
“… But, uncle.”
“why?”
“Perhaps, a person… dead?”
Her eyes trembled as she said that.
To this I calmly nodded.
“uh.”
Then, Yeon Ji-woo’s face hardened visibly.
Then she lowered her head and then wept softly.
I didn’t mean to… Is it like killing someone with your own hands?
While looking at Yeon Ji-woo with pity, I suddenly thought of Kwon Tae-soo.
This old man is not an old man who will just listen to these sounds.
Kwon Tae-soo’s face as he looked back with such thoughts, indeed,
“… … ”
There were no ghosts.
