Chapter 41: Let’s Go! (6)
It was certainly not a place suitable for the living Froes that looked like greenhouses, which brought to mind a barn that was commonplace in the countryside There was no visible entrance, and it stuck out like a sore thu landscape
Chi-Woo suddenly remembered the depths of the cave that he had saved Ru Amuh from; the prison-like crypt reed their ranch He wondered ould be there and what kind of hellish sight awaited him He strutted forward and scrunched up his whole face, quickly covering his nose and lips A foul odor that he couldn’t withstand suddenly sieged his nose
“Urgh!”
He was about to enter one of the greenhouses, but quickly staggered back, tasting bile in the back of his throat As soon as the odor hit his senses, extree, bloodlust, antagonisative e rejection that made his body shudder He almost vomited
‘There aren’t just…one or two of them’ There were certainly y, this was a pool of water filled up to create a swamp Not only would ordinary people escape as soon as they saw the area, but those with spiritual poould also do the same Even the famous psychic tunnel in japan paled in coedthehty God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah…’ If his wise mentor had been with hi to Gods ere irrelevant to this situation instead of running away; and his ain However, this wasn’t a time for him to back down He had already entered their territory While calhts The fact that such an extraordinary nuested that it was a voluntary act He didn’t know the exact circumstances, but there was a possibility that the majority were forced into sub that commonly acted in this manner And that was the one Chi-Woo had to catch The only probleo his way
“W-What is this place?” Chi-Wo said as he reached back for his bag Before he did anything, he had to make sure Eshnunna would be able to escape unscathed “What is this unpleasant place…why did you bring un his act, but Eshnunna didn’t answer She didn’t say anything for a good long while
‘What is she doing?’ Chi-Woo thought she would catch on and respond to hi No, that wasn’t it Chi-Woo saw fear etched deeply into Eshnunna’s face, and he noticed soedat the space in front of hi loosely by his side, and thesaliva like he had lost his ueop Jineon Surisuri mahasuri—” Chi-Woo recanted the Thousand Hands sutra The incantation seeave hi Once he was about 60 et a better look at its interiors, and what he saw rendered him speechless
Skeletons of hu on rods all over the place; interestingly, they were all upside down, and ite therees, and a decoration that appeared to be a religious sy upside down Moreover, they were all plastered with blood—The statue’s broken neck was drenched in blood, and the religious symbol was painted crimson all over
Chi-Woo realized then why his body had instinctively rejected this place, and with such a negative response at that If a temple was a place where one served and prayed to a God, this place was the opposite It was a place that defiled Gods and insulted the an upside-down cross or a statue of Buddha and Virgin Mary with their necks broken on Earth A monk would have been shocked by the impurity of it, while a pastor would have cried out, “Blasphemy!”
“S-Sir…” Stricken with fear, Eshnunnna stuttered She lifted her shaking thu upside down upon several rods that were fixed to the wall, their li The treh-pitched voice, “H-Help…”
Thud! It dropped to the ground
Splatter! There was a wet sound conjuring the i ater And a sed
That wasn’t a sound a body dropping two meters should make Instead, it sounded like sohly thrust it down Not long afterwards, soure had dropped onto It no longer looked like a person The… thing with leathery skin exploded, scra itself back onto the rod Chi-Woo took the display as the warning it was These beings see his suddenly becah the ht a torch And yet they found themselves fallen into a coht Then a fierce, chilling wind brushed past the three of them
–Kkihihihi!
The intense cold was briht shi+vers to the back of his knees and s lih, closed his eyes, and was about to mutter a scripture, but he felt someone snatch it away from him
Szzzz! Pssssh!+
The talisman rose to the air, flipped upside down, and was shredded apart until it scattered away in ashes
“T-that’s the one!” The ed man yelled in fear “That’s the one we talked about! The one who caused all that chaos at Shahnaz ca at Chi-Woo “W-We brought him like you asked us to! Do as you wish, so please…!”
“What? What are you suddenly saying?”
“Shut the fuck up! Die! You fucking bastard! Die, damn it!”
‘What the hell?’ Thethat if it had been an act, he should receive several awards for his acting Nevertheless, it didn’t matter; the man had done what Eshnunna was supposed to do And while his attention was stolen by the ed man’s performance, Chi-Woo felt an icy sensation at the back of his neck
“…”
It was there So feeling that didn’t belong to a living creature He felt as if a predator had secretly approached him from behind and was about to bite his neck with its edhis mouth in quick succession Eshnunna reacted si at the being behind his shoulders Given the sheer energy the beings gave off, even an ordinary who couldn’t see theulped As soh hell and came back fro him, ‘Don’t look back You will die the moment you turn around’
Chi-Woo was fearful, scared Feelings he had forgotten for sootten; he had si the Chi-Woo closed his eyes
‘The talisman didn’t work’ The talisman he tried to use was one that warded off evil spirits As long as he carried this talisman, spirits that accidentally came within his vicinity would disappear without a chance to escape This also et too close to hiet out of the situation unscathed
When Chi-Woo lifted his talisonis to take this out and protect ’ However, his opponent hadn’t listened but instead stole his talisman and made a mess of it That in and of itself was a response to Chi-Woo
‘I guess they have no intention of co’ Chi-Woo opened his eyes wide He didn’t look back He stared at Eshnunna and the ed man as they stared blankly into the air Chi-Woo reached back and sneakily grabbed so His handlike lightning, and a loud thud followed At the sa down on the nape of his neck disappeared
“?” Thehim widened his eyes
“?” Eshnunna blinked in surprise
—? And the being Chi-Woo hit fell to the ground, confused and shocked by Chi-Woo’s attack
“!” Chi-Woo nodded as he felt the sensation of hitting so As expected, his strike was effective; he had made sure of that
‘Why wouldn’t it work? I have this item after all’
Chi-Woo found a half-transparent cluround with its body turned over; he twisted his neck right and left in preparation Chi-Woo had no intentions to converse with this being Instead, he just said, “Great Lord of hell?” Raising his club high in the air, he added, “Please drop the beat”
Chi-Woo remembered his mentor as a remarkable person His mentor didn’t have a separate shrine, so it didn’t seem like he was a shaman He also didn’t seeious asceticis time He didn’t seem like a pastor who preached in church, either However, his mentor was extraordinary; he had a different aura from the others It was a conclusion Chi-Woo had co the way people treated his mentor For example:
“Father~ Please~ Would you be able to help just this once~?”
“Since when have I become your father?”
“Co a hard time with this Help, please?”
Chi-Woo was shocked when one of the masters he had trained under came to visit his nified, strict, and serious person She was known as a tiger lady in the neighborhood, but in front of his mentor, she became a humble and meek house cat
“Sir, I know it’s shameless ofa really hard ti is really evil!”
His mentor couldn’t coldly refuse her constant pleas, so in the end, he oodness’ sake! Since I took hih all kinds of…You know I’ve washed h hisChi-Woo, his ansas ‘Yes’ “If it was just a newbie, I would have refused, but therelike this Okay, I got it”
