“ else; Chi-Woo appeared very focused

‘What?’ Chi-Woo chewed on his bottom lip Usually, he would know the ritual was a success if he retrieved the bowl and found the rice inside replaced with body parts such as fingernails; bodily fluids counted as well However, only Abis’ neok</e, so there was really no way of knowing if his ari was a success That hy Chi-Woo had thrown the bowl into the water, not expectinghe had to do so

‘Was it always this deep?’ The thread he had cast continued doard It sank and sank until the thread tightened, and Chi-Woo felt so it back and was shocked to see it break as soon as he felt a resistance Chi-Woo quickly got out of the hole and looked down at the thread The rest of the expedition teah to break the thread In other words, so at it intentionally from the other side

“There really see murmured carefully

“Oneagain in shock

“Be careful If there’s anything strange, tell us,” Apoline said, sounding worried

The second atte a specific depth, the thread broke assessing the estimated depth at which the thread broke, Chi-Woo ht before he thought the thread would break

“Ah!” Chi-Woo’s head was thrown back as his body got sucked in

“Teacher!” Having been on high alert, Ru Amuh quickly clutched onto Chi-Woo and pulled him back If Jin-Cheon hadn’t also jumped in, Chi-Woo would’ve been coet out of the hole and collected his breath

“Boss! Are you okay… Uh, uh…” Nangnang approached him and stammered Apoline also looked pale There were deep handprints on Chi-Woo’s ankles, as if sohtly Chi-Woo clenched his teeth Where he’d stepped into, the water should only reach his calf at best, but he was soaked up to his thighs

“I should’ve been ot into incidents while trying to perforo inside the water in person He could’ve been in serious trouble

For now, Chi-Woo pulled back his thread It didn’t get cut off this ti the bowl had been shredded apart, leaving only small pieces behind, and the rice inside had disappeared without leaving a single grain All he got back was a bowl plastered in mud

“What happened? Did it work?”

“No” Chi-Woo shook his head at Jin-Cheon’s question

“Don’t e of reprieve as Noel wiped theman’s face As the reeds burned away, the whole swae bubbles burst, and ures There were some that didn’t even resemble the human form, but the crucial point was that there were over a thousand of the, Apoline raised both arms into the sky and spread her hands above her head Then spheres of lights the size of pebbles for in all directions The moment the spheres touched the flames, there was a loud burst
