The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism chapter 130
130.
“Me… ?”
Choi Eun-young tilted her head at Seo In-na’s words.
Then Seo In-na’s words continued.
“The content of the request itself is not great. Monitoring and trending of you. That’s why the commission was assigned to such a small organization. But the existence of such a request itself is a problem.”
It was like a stalker request.
However, Choi Eun-young’s expression didn’t change much when she heard that someone was watching her without her knowledge.
As if you knew that.
“Not another cop. Isn’t it obvious why they picked you up and designated you?”
“My kin… Are you?”
“It is very likely.”
be a relative
I don’t know about others, but to Choi Eun-young, the existence of relatives wasn’t very helpful.
Her relatives are a family of pseudo cultists who once ruled an island with the help of demons.
And Choi Eun-yeong was the granddaughter of the leader, but she was the one who destroyed the leader’s family with her own hands.
So, does that mean that the one who made that request was one of the family members of the cult leader who survived at that time?
“So the case that fell on our team is this way. We dig into the back of this request and root out those who are hiding.”
The case doesn’t seem too complicated.
However, Choi Eun-young looked down and opened her mouth in a small voice.
“then… because of me… ”
Choi Eun-young said that as if she had caused a nuisance.
However, Seo In-na shook her head.
“I don’t think so. It looks like a survivor of the head family is with someone who is already dangerous.”
“Are you dangerous?”
“According to the testimony of the guy Inspector Kang captured alive, yes.”
Most of the investigation into Mine captured yesterday was conducted by other police officers.
I also didn’t have time to talk to him all day on holiday, because I only heard about the appropriate crime and immediately reported it and handed it over to another police officer.
And Seo In-na started to reveal the information she found out to me.
“It seems that he only contacted them once, when he accepted the request. But then he saw a monster. As a result of checking, it was concluded that it was a wanted criminal who killed a police officer two years ago.”
“A wanted criminal? Was that just confirmed by testimony?”
“He’s a guy who stands out because of his looks.”
Saying so, Seo In-na posted a picture on the table.
What’s there… As she said, it was not a normal human figure.
“My pseudonym is Graphite. That’s how it came about, the only thing that’s been revealed is a pseudonym.”
It is so strange that even the real name has not been revealed in Korea, where fingerprints of all adults are left open.
I looked at the picture with such a question.
Then, the first thought came to me.
“Is this a person?”
The thing in the picture wasn’t human in the first place.
Its skin looked black and hard like basalt.
Moreover, black smoke rose above it, so it was quite understandable why the pseudonym called graphite was made.
Also, the face completely lost its shape, only two pupils glowing in the rising smoke.
Only then… I can’t even get a fingerprint, let alone recognize a face.
It was understandable why his real name was not revealed.
“It’s not a person, it’s a Mine. In particular, this guy is one of the guys that fits the word Mine the most.”
It wasn’t just exorcists who committed crimes, but those who really accepted demons beyond their limits.
But even so, most demons only change their skin color or grow something on their bodies.
It was the first time I had ever seen a body transform like this.
To the point of losing the reality at all.
“This bastard’s body no longer belongs to a human. That’s why it’s more like a freak with human thoughts.”
“Is this really possible?”
If his body had been eroded by demons up to this point, there was no way his mind would be intact.
It’s normal for most to lose their temper before getting this far.
However, even in this state, this guy seemed to have at least some reason.
So, he must have been committing a crime while avoiding the pursuit of the police.
“Of course, it’s not common… there are often And those mines are especially dangerous. You don’t know what you’re going to do.”
Seo In-na’s explanation continued.
People mobilize various traditions, magic, and sorcery to draw out the power of demons.
However, the demons who have been eroded by demons up to this point use that power much more freely.
He implements traditions that have nothing to do with himself, and uses magic without any magic.
As with real spirits and monsters, he began to deal with demons themselves.
“Anyway, the member of the head family who made the request for Eun-yeong should be seen as moving with this guy. Of course, the size of the organization will not be large. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been able to escape for such a long time. Maybe these two are all. Even so, it will never be a friendly opponent, but… ”
Seo In-na’s eyes turned to me.
Her expression, which had been slightly hardened for some reason, was relaxed.
“Inspector Kang would be fine.”
It sounded like he trusted me at first glance, but it also sounded oddly irresponsible.
But before I could argue something about this, Seo In-na, who was talking to me, turned to Choi Eun-young.
“Eunyoung. Are you going to go by yourself this time too?”
Seo In-na asked Choi Eun-young as if to confirm.
Then Choi Eun-young nodded slowly.
“… yes.”
There was no strength, but it was a firm answer.
Seo In-na showed a confused face for a moment, but then nodded.
“okay. Then I’ll leave this to you two. I’ve found their supposed hideout. Let the investigation begin here.”
Saying so, Inna Seo threw us an address.
that… It was the address of an abandoned factory in a corner of Gyeonggi-do.
* * *
It was a ruin in the mountains.
The large gray cylindrical cylinder and the tower-like iron structure around it were heavily rusted, as if graffiti had been scribbled on by a ghost.
And next to it was a rusty cylinder and a square tower connected by a bridge that seemed to collapse at any moment.
However, even with the exterior ripped off, the inner structure was exposed, and the scenery was depressingly dreary even in broad daylight.
It is the remains of a cement factory with traces of operation until a few years ago.
There,
“… okay.”
A woman in her early thirties coldly put down her smartphone.
She, Eunseo Choi’s forehead was slightly furrowed.
And as she looked into the shade of the factory building, she groaned in annoyance.
“They’re coming.”
“Yeah, I knew it.”
Then, a man’s voice came from within the shadows.
Unlike Choi Eun-seo, her voice is very relaxed.
Maybe that’s why Eunseo Choi shouted at the man at once.
“Yeah- no! We have to move right now!”
“That’s good.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? What’s going well?”
“You didn’t like this place.”
At those words, Eunseo Choi’s expression became even more distorted.
Of course, to her, who had once lived a wealthy adolescence, this abandoned factory was never a favorite place.
But even so, the reason she stayed here for half a year was, of course, to avoid being pursued by the police.
Conversely, hiding places where you can go unnoticed by the police for half a year weren’t that common.
“I don’t like it. I still hate it. But where will you go if you leave here? unless you’re here! Aren’t you in more trouble than me because of that damn face?”
Choi Eun-seo said as she glared at the shade inside the factory.
Then the black shade roared, creating a leisurely laugh for a while.
“Heh heh… yes. I have nowhere to go And like you said, with a face like this, it would be difficult to run away.”
“Then don’t procrastinate, right now-”
“So I’m not leaving here.”
At the man’s words, Eunseo Choi let out a laugh.
“under… Are you finally crazy?”
“Crazy. I am very cool That’s why I can make a much wiser choice than you who are scared and trembling.”
“Is it wise to go after the police here?”
“It is okay to fight. But there’s no law saying you have to go back.”
Understanding the man’s intentions, Choi Eun-seo kept her mouth shut for a moment.
And I thought about it carefully.
Really the battle that will happen after the cops rush in here.
Obviously that man is strong.
but… Even so, is it enough to win against the public power of the state?
“Impossible. You know how many of them will come… ”
“It won’t be long.”
the man said
And Choi Eun-seo knew about the reason.
A small group of demons who were said to have been arrested by the police.
It was not for any other reason that she had entrusted the commission to those insignificant people.
They had a much bigger connection with the Mine organization than Choi Eun-seo or this man.
So Choi Eun-seo, if they were arrested.
It was to entrust them with the aim of focusing the police investigation on that side rather than themselves.
And that intention must have worked right now.
“furthermore… Don’t you know who’s coming?”
“… … ”
That too was true.
Because of that request, the existence of Choi Eun-seo, that is, the existence of the family of the leader, must have been known to the police.
If that’s the case, it’s obvious that no one will come here.
Eunyoung Choi.
Eunseo Choi’s cousin, and the enemy of the family who destroyed her family.
“That crazy b*tch… !”
That alone made Choi Eun-seo an existence that she had to kill without fail.
However, Choi Eun-young became a police officer, and whenever a member of the religious leader’s family came under investigation, she appeared to kill her relative with her own hands.
It was something Choi Eun-seo couldn’t understand.
Not only the grandfather who was the religious leader, but also his parents and relatives, and even Choi Eun-seo herself.
What the hell was wrong with Choi Eun-young?
“Okay, it’s me, but why are you fighting?”
It would be nice for Choi Eun-seo if she could get her revenge.
But there would be no benefit to this man.
But the man answered lightly.
“Why? It’s a matter of resentment.”
“Are you angry?”
“Do you think it would be pleasant for me to be stuck in this abandoned factory?”
A man, Graphite, walked out of the shade of the factory.
Despite her monstrous appearance, Choi Eun-seo did not blink an eye.
“I want to walk down the street as well. I can’t even remember what the main street was like or what the inside of a department store with the lights on looked like. But that… Isn’t it all because of them?”
“So you’re going to vent your anger? Is that a sober judgment?”
“Because when stress builds up, you have to release it.”
Choi Eun-seo let out a short sigh at the words of Graph Yeon, who said it as if it were natural.
It’s not that I don’t understand men’s hearts.
She was no different from his circumstances.
“But they are not easy. Whoever comes, it is too dangerous.”
Choi Eun-seo was checking all the information of the support team 2 to which Choi Eun-young belonged.
The team, starting with the team leader Seo In-na, has martial arts and long-range sniping.
There were cops with specialties that were difficult to deal with.
And the most threatening of them all… A man named Inspector Kang Jin-woo.
At first, he didn’t care too much, but his recent behavior has been unbelievable.
He has already solved over 100 cases.
It hasn’t even been a year since I was appointed, but it was ridiculously fast.
But even so, Choi Eun-seo hadn’t found out much about him yet.
The only thing certain is that he uses a sword.
For the rest, he can throw thunderbolts, shoot fire, control steel, walk on water, and even use the lore of the Dharma Hall.
Unbelievable rumors were spreading, and even his special ability was not properly grasped.
What kind of guy is he, and the police are hiding his skills by going so far as to bluff like that?
“Especially that guy named Jinwoo Kang is dangerous. What are you going to do when he comes?”
“I am rather looking forward to it. No matter how much you take out your anger, the other person has to get along with it to some extent.”
However, Graphyeon said so as if she had no worries.
“anyway… I’ll kill the rest. If you want to stay, I will not touch your share.”
“I’ll turn, really.”
Choi Eun-seo put a hand on her forehead and murmured.
however… Really, if a part of the support team 2 comes here while the other cops are excluded.
It was never without a win.
That crazy bastard, Graphyeon’s skills were real.
Besides, even if she ran away now, Choi Eun-seo still hadn’t even secured a definite escape route.
If so, wouldn’t it be a valid enough option to stop the police pursuit here once and buy time, as Graphyeon said?
After thinking about it for a while, she finally nodded.
“good. then… Let’s do it your way.”
* * *
“… Is this it?”
5 p.m. that day.
I arrived near the abandoned factory at the address given to me by Seo In-na and got out of the car.
Of course, it was Choi Eun-young who came with me.
With a more timid face than usual, she was clutching only her sketchbook.
Looking at Choi Eun-young’s somewhat uncomfortable face, I put the question that came to my mind right away.
“however… Isn’t it necessary for police officer Choi to come?”
The case was different from the last time when I dealt with the double mango.
At that time, it was a kind of after-treatment, punishing the freaks Choi Eun-young had called in the past.
In the end, all the families of the religious leaders we have to deal with are people who were Choi Eun-young’s family.
But trying to cut their necks with your own hands?
normally… Wouldn’t it be better to avoid it?
“no. I am… I have to.”
But Choi Eun-young said so.
I continued to ask questions.
“why?”
“Because it’s something I haven’t finished.”
finish it
can you think so?
But there was no time for other questions.
The remains of an old cement factory were already visible.
And on the roof of the cement factory, someone was standing and looking this way.
A strange figure covered in smoke and stones.
“… I was waiting.”
It was Graphite who spat out the boring line in that state.
