The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism - The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism chapter 137

137.

On the way back from the factory site.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like when I came, I was riding in the car driven by Yuna Jin with Hyunah Lee.

But this time a big truck is following us.

Hwarang’s large cargo truck.

It was also a truck carrying animals.

The one riding on it is, of course, the white elk, the white deer.

It was Lee Hyun-ah who called to move the bastard.

“There was a car like that in the gallery.”

At first glance, it’s an ordinary cargo truck with the back covered by a tent.

The inside, which I saw when burning Baekrok, was made of a sturdy cage, and was optimized for moving animals.

A vehicle like a zoo.

However, Lee Hyun-ah said as if it was natural.

“Because there are many large animals among spiritual creatures and divine beasts. And sometimes… Sometimes you have to catch monsters. To secure materials for witchcraft. So, if not often, it is often necessary.”

I mean this isn’t the first time this has happened.

I nodded.

“Then, can you take care of that for one day?”

It was a story about Baekrok.

Lee Hyun-ah nodded lightly.

“Yes, as much as you like.”

“thank you.”

The vehicle quietly slid down the road.

All that remains now is to report the incident directly to the Commissioner of Police.

However, there was still time to spare before reaching the police station.

So, in the meantime, I decided to open the item window and check the information on Ingeom.

Ingeom had three skills added to it before he knew it.

– Immovable Demon: Unable to move for 5 seconds upon casting. Reduces all damage by 50% when attacked while unable to move.

– King of the Goblins: Reduces the stats of all enemies with Oni and Goblin traits, activates coercion.

– One who weighs down the head: Puts the curse of Duoxini in the next attack. Consumes 10 spiritual power. When hit to the head, an instant death curse is activated. The success rate of the instant death effect is determined by the opponent’s curse resistance.

“… … ”

There were three added skills.

The first one, Immovable Demon, seemed to be a defensive skill.

However, compared to the effect, the penalty of being unable to move for 5 seconds is quite large.

Isn’t it a skill that is usually overused?

At the crucial moment, it was useful for blocking the enemy’s great technology.

And then.

The King of Goblins was a familiar King-type skill.

However, since goblins and oni are all monstrosities, it was questionable whether they would unconditionally follow them like the white-rok, a spiritual creature, even if he became their king.

and.

“hmm… ”

The last one, ‘The one who weighs down the head’, was different from the previous skills from its effect.

It’s an active skill with an instant death curse.

Although there was a condition that it hit the head, it could be said that the performance itself was not bad since it would activate even if you brushed it.

Above all, isn’t it a curse-type skill that has never existed before?

I don’t know about spirits or monsters, but it was a pretty useful skill against demons.

Demons rarely use curse resistance against the police or exorcists, even if they use curses.

So this skill is the same as aiming for that loophole.

Of course, at the same time, curses are a target of vigilance for general exorcists.

You have to be careful not to stand out unnecessarily.

“… … ”

I thought so and moved on.

Next was the main quest reward.

What came out as a reward was an item that looked like a ticket.

＜Rare Grade Consumables Option＞

I thought it was a lottery ticket I hadn’t seen in a while, but it was an option.

Anyway, it’s a rare grade consumable.

Considering the rating, expecting an unconventional effect… Is it also greedy?

With that thought in mind, I checked the list of possible choices.

1. Rare grade skill draw ticket

2. Rare grade item draw ticket

3. Attack Enhancement Potion

4. Defense Enhancement Potion

5. …

Then again.

The list numbered well over 50, but, as expected, not many seemed useful.

The only thing that is useful is the strengthening potion.

And it was a recovery potion.

“… It’s a potion.”

If it was a recovery item, it was perfect as an insurance just in case.

If nothing else, I’ll have to do that.

I selected one candidate like that and went through the list.

But among them, there was something I needed.

58. Mole’s secretary

– Create a passage leading to a specific divine area.

– Passages disappear after 24 hours.

“oh… ”

To put it simply, it was an item that paved the way to divine station.

And there was a divine station that I must go to someday, but I couldn’t.

It is Hyunmu’s new role.

As a result of checking for a while while solving the case at the barbed wire fence, Hyeonmu’s new role was further north in the barbed wire fence.

in other words… It means that he was really in North Korea, or at best he was in China or Russia across the Yalu River.

Needless to say, if you are in North Korea, even if you are in China or Russia, it is a burdensome distance to go easily.

However, with this item, there is no need to worry about that.

“… nice.”

I muttered that and didn’t bother to choose an item right now.

Anyway, it is not right now to go to Hyeonmu’s sanctuary.

Hyeonmu controls the strongest yin energy among the gods of the four directions and is said to be in charge of ice.

So it would be wise to go after at least taking measures against the ice.

I thought so and closed the item window.

Looking out the car window, the car I was in was entering downtown Seoul.

* * *

And after a while, the Office of the Commissioner of Police.

“… That is all.”

There, Kang Jin-woo finished his report on the incident.

A perfect achievement of exorcising a two-headed fox and capturing even a baekrok.

“Good job. You did a great job. It would be nice to go back today.”

So Kim Jun-sung just praised his achievements and immediately ordered him to leave work.

Then Kang Jin-woo nodded and disappeared like the wind.

Even though he seemed to be walking quickly as he left the Commissioner’s office.

Kim Joon-seong looked at Lee Seong-min who was next to him with a calm face.

“How are you now?”

“hmm… ”

Instead of answering, Lee Sung-min only let out a drool.

He did not believe Kang Jin-woo’s words.

Of course, one cannot doubt the words of a benefactor without any evidence.

But at the same time, I couldn’t believe it even though I wanted to believe it.

It wouldn’t be such an easy monster to catch.

So, after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to his granddaughter Lee Hyun-ah.

“Did he really catch the two Ooksini?”

“yes.”

“How you fought, explain in detail.”

I sent Lee Hyun-ah with me to do this from the beginning.

However, instead of explaining, Lee Hyun-ah took out her smartphone.

“Here is a video.”

“… Did you think of taking a picture of it?”

Lee Seong-min said with an absurd face.

If Kang Jin-woo had fought with Duoxini, Lee Hyun-ah and Jin Yuna, who would have been there, would not have been safe.

Rather, the things that should have come out to support him were barely looking at their smartphones.

He looked at his granddaughter pathetically for a moment and then snatched the phone.

However, after seeing the video, Seongmin Lee couldn’t help but realize that his idea was wrong.

“hmm… ?”

The video was gorgeous from the start.

From fire and lightning to metal to poison that melts the ground.

Kang Jin-woo in the video showed off his numerous traditions one after another as if he wanted to show off.

“Looks like they aren’t just bright and colorful apricots.”

Kim Jun-seong, who was looking at it from the side, said with a satisfied face.

As he said, the traditions Kang Jin-woo had were by no means a collection of clumsy things.

Traditions that each one has a considerable level to the extent that Duoxini, who has an immovable tradition, evades himself.

But that wasn’t the end.

The ongoing battle with Duoksini.

Lee Seong-min’s eyes widened as he watched it.

“her… !”

Although he is now retired, it was Lee Seong-min who worked as an exorcist for decades.

In the meantime, Kang Jin-woo’s martial arts skills, which shined in the middle, were not even to say that they were phenomenal.

And at the end of the video, at the moment when Duooksini’s head was cut off, even he opened his mouth.

“What am I looking at?”

“Only swordsmanship… It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the country.”

Lee Sung-min was not the only one who was surprised.

Even Kim Jun-seong, who at first was pleased with his subordinate’s competence, had a serious face by the end of the video.

It’s just that there are a lot of traditions that I had, and it’s not all about being great.

Rather, martial arts to the extent that they faded the light of those legends all at once.

These two were paying attention to it.

“It will be a warrior’s succession.”

From nob le mt l. com

Junsung Kim said.

Lee Sung-min also nodded.

“But… What kind of martial god has such a status?”

“At that level, isn’t it the level of a mythical god who dominated at least one civilization?”

The power reproduced by the tradition is concrete even as the time goes by, and at the same time, the more widespread the tradition, the stronger the power.

That’s why swordsmanship of that level had to have at least a thousand years of history and a tradition that had spread throughout civilization, not just one region or country.

Like Indian mythology or Greco-Roman mythology, for example.

And among the myths with that level of awareness, the most likely god among the gods who are the main god of the myth and the god of war is,

“… Is it Odin?”

It was Odin, the main god of Norse mythology.

If it was Odin, who was both the god of war and the god of warriors, he was indeed a god that met all of those conditions.

but.

“Where the heck did Odin’s legend come from…? ”

The legend of the king of all the gods in Northern Europe is not easily obtainable.

Even in the tradition of his sons, Thor and Loki, there are few people who can implement it even in Northern Europe.

But Odin in Korea, which is far away from Northern Europe?

Even if it was out of the blue, it was a very out of the blue story.

However, even after thinking about it for a long time, Lee Sung-min could not come up with another answer.

As the doubt deepened, Kim Jun-seong opened his mouth.

“More than that… What do you plan to do?”

“What, what?”

“Are you going to let him do the work?”

At Kim Jun-seong’s words, Lee Sung-min snorted.

“Sounds natural.”

There was nothing to think about.

Kang Jin-woo was a monster in a good way.

His investigative ability and his fighting ability were flawless.

If you have this level of skill, you can trust it.

No, on the contrary, it wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for him.

As expected, the benefactor that my older brother, who appeared in my dream, gave me fortune-telling.

Rather, it was regrettable that he belonged to the police.

Even if it wasn’t only that, I wanted to make it my own person.

“Then when did the operation begin…? ”

“I will come back soon. We also need to prepare.”

“All right. I’m waiting for you.”

Lee Seong-min, who made a decision, finally kicked off the chair in the Commissioner’s Office and stood up.

And on the way out of the police station hallway.

While thinking about the future, Lee Seong-min suddenly looked at Lee Hyun-ah following him.

It was because all of a sudden a possibility flashed through his mind.

“It’s Hyuna.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“What do you think of Kang Jin-woo?”

At Lee Seong-min’s words, Lee Hyun-ah widened her eyes.

After he became an adult and started working at a company, he was a grandfather who could not easily talk to him unless it was about work.

So, this is the first time I have been asked this question by Sungmin Lee.

But before she could speak, Sungmin Lee spoke first.

“No, it doesn’t matter what you think. What does he think of you?”

“me… What do you think?”

“Does Kang Jin-woo like you?”

“Ah, what are you saying all of a sudden… !”

Embarrassment filled Lee Hyun-ah’s face.

However, Sungmin Lee continued without hesitation.

“At that level, he is the one who will control the exorcism industry, not the Hwarang. Why don’t you like it?”

“It’s not a matter of disliking it or anything like that. I don’t have a relationship with him, so-“

“It’s a problem because it’s not like that! Don’t be shy and be prepared to seize the opportunity when it comes.”

“Now, get ready to catch it… what is that… ”

Lee Hyeon-a only opened her mouth a few times and blurted out her words.

Seeing his granddaughter like that, Sungmin Lee clicked his tongue.

“Tsk… It’s just that I’m so pathetic.”

Maybe it’s because I studied too much when I was young?

Resembling my grandmother, she has an outstanding appearance, but in this area, she was young.

So he looked at Lee Hyeon-ah for a while, then looked at Jin Yuna, who stood behind him.

“Has he not been interested in Jin?”

“grandfather!”

“Eh… Tsk.”

It wasn’t until after Lee Hyun-ah started screaming, Lee Sung-min hurried on his steps again.

After that, Lee Hyun-ah followed with a blushing face.

* * *

next day.

“so… You brought this all the way here?”

Seo In-na said while looking inside the truck standing in front of the police box.

There was also a white elk in a large cage prepared inside the truck.

“Keeek!”

“Ooh, look at the cries.”

Seo In-na frowned at the elk’s grotesque cry.

Still, it’s a spiritual creature, but it’s treated like that.

But that sound deserved such treatment.

Looking at such an elk, I asked.

“How do I deal with him now?”

“Tell the management and they’ll take care of it.”

“A manager?”

“okay. Its correct name is Permanent Dangerous Goods Administration. Normally, we just call it the management department.”

Seo In-na explained about the management department for a while.

When I heard it, I found a cursed phone or a serpent that I had previously found.

It was a research facility to investigate and store good spirits, divine beasts, indestructible ghosts, and cursed objects.

also. Due to its nature as a research facility, it was launched in cooperation with LB Academy, where research on exorcism is most active.

The actual location is said to be in the mountains of Gangwon-do near the LB Academy.

“Then I just need to notify them.”

“hmm… ”

At my words, Seo In-na let out a short sigh.

And after thinking about something for a while, she opened her mouth.

“No, take this opportunity to stop by yourself.”

“Me?”

“Even so, they sent you a request for cooperation several times. But we’ve been so busy. So I just ignored it every time, but let’s go this time.”

Seo In-na said so naturally.

But there was a part that stuck with me.

“A request for cooperation… to me?”

“okay. Originally, there was a lot of interest in you. You can find sacred things just by looking at them, and you can easily deal with ghosts and curses. There, there is no difference between a talented person who dies of pleasure.”

“… … ”

“So, three days from today, dispatch.”

That’s how my dispatch work was decided.

Listening to the cry of an elk in the luggage compartment, I rode the truck to Gangwon-do.
