Chapter 97 – 97. Chance

The ice flower in Jeong So-hee’s hand turns into a small dagger. Eyes full of joy and intensely alive.

The dagger cuts through the air.

The cheers of the spectators pierced the sky as the ice grains fluttered, creating a beautiful sight.

-Waaaaa!!!

Beyond the wall of cheers, Jeong So-hee was looking at me. She’s like she’s trying on a new outfit. Like someone who wants her to evaluate her new self.

It was funny.
I looked at her silently.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Jung So-hee’s feelings.
She must have wanted to be strong. She must have wanted to show it to Song Seong-wu, who abandoned and sold her.

Her own look completely different from her.

“Whoa.”

A sigh escapes her.
I knew very well that her desire was far stronger than my advice, which had only been met with her a few times.

Even so.

‘It’s bittersweet.’

If you think about why you feel so bitter, the answer is surprisingly simple.

It wasn’t like sympathy.

Except for Jeong Ha-ryun, she was the only one.
When I was a janitor, I had a proper conversation, had a party, and left my back.

So I guess I was fooling around without realizing it.

‘Did I have this much affection?’

Cook cook, a self-deprecating laugh flows out.

…So useless.

It cuts open memories and cuts out emotions.
Detached attention is thrown to the floor. I looked back on this situation calmly.

It was better
This is what happened. After executing the provisional contract for Jeong So-hee, he checks S.L.U.S.

There were a lot of people, but it didn’t matter because everyone was preoccupied with looking at the concert hall.

*Jeong So-hee
Class: Warrior[?]
Unique Attribute: [?]
General Attributes: [Swordsmanship (lv.2)] [Enhanced Agility (lv8)]
Mystery : [?][?][?]

[Muscle:35][Agility:38][Endurance:33]
[Spirit: 20] [Magic: 40]

-Likeability: 65
-Contract Status: Temporary Contract

I narrow my eyes and bring back memories.

‘The class remains the same.’

Its unique characteristics also do not seem to have changed.

But.

‘…Mystery has increased.’

If her memory is correct, there was only one mystery she had. But now there are three mysteries. Increased by two more.

It’s safe to say that it’s highly unlikely that she acquired any new mysteries while she quit the Hunter.

That it is
Those two mysteries are probably.

‘It must be a curse.’

My aunt was right.
Just as he was about to put his phone in, convinced that the Zeun group was holding hands with the Pillar Devil.

It was belatedly that her abilities came into sight.

Except for the extra 15 stats you get from the contract… No, let’s not be foolish.

I turned off S.L.U.S and put my phone in.

Jung So-hee, who came off the stage without even knowing that she was cursed, approached me. Steps that were light at first become heavier as they approach me.

I stared indifferently at Jeong So-hee, who was facing me.

My eyes tremble at my completely different attitude. She closed her eyes for a long time and then opened them.

“…I apologize for ignoring your advice. But I couldn’t help it. Because I have to be strong. Certainly…”

“I guess.”

She bit her lower lip when he replied that she wasn’t interested.

“…In the first place… You came to get stimulants in the first place, isn’t it?”

“I didn’t say I was taking it.”

“You want me to believe that? How. How can I believe that I need to be strong How can I believe you… When there is no evidence?”

“Yes.”

“…You wouldn’t understand in the first place. What kind of mind have I been in all this time? Even if you are bullied by your colleagues, how does it feel to have to endure it because you have no strength? How does it feel to be abandoned because you are weak? What is the humiliation of a loser…”

I opened my mouth once, and then there were many words.

I snorted at her and looked away from her.
The moderator called the next winner. Number 1572, it was me.

Move the leg that was nailed like a nail.

I could feel Jung So-hee staring blankly at me like that. Leaving her behind her, I calmly went up on stage and rejected her emcee’s proposal with a single stroke.

“I will not eat.”

“The discount is…”

“Fine. No discount, just pay.”

It was quite expensive, but not too expensive to pay.
After receiving the stimulant, I walked off the stage, leaving the emcee with an embarrassing expression behind.

‘Well?’

An unpleasant gaze suddenly felt.

Intuitively, when I looked at the place where my gaze flew, a person caught my eye, covering his face as much as Jeong Ha-ryun in the past.

I met his gaze for a moment, then I ignored him and moved on. Now that I have obtained the stimulant, my business here is over.

I called Dajin Seol.

-Did you win? Okay. We’ll go there

Unfortunately, there were no rooms available at nearby hotels and motels. After hanging up the phone, I headed towards the park entrance, and Jung So-hee followed me.

“Is there anything else to see?”

“There’s something… I want to ask you something.”

“What.”

“What if… What if I had taken your advice? Did I have to give up on being strong and go back to being a loner? Did you have to remain a loser forever…?”

“Why do you ask me that?”

“Isn’t that you… I… I… I’m not the kind of person to be treated the same as those kids. Did you just… Just say it without thinking…?”

“No, I was just telling the truth.”

“…I got a new ability. Although now… I can’t use it properly yet, I’m still not as weak as I used to be.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“…I do not know. I… I don’t know.”

I stared at her in her confusion.
It seems that the curse is causing me to lose my mind. Originally, the mental level was low, but it was cursed, so it was understandable.

“I don’t think you’re feeling very well, but why don’t you go to the hospital? Or… Go to church.”

With that said, she bit her lip as she was about to say something of her own. Seol Da-jin’s voice came from behind just in time.

“Hey, who is this person again?”

“Sister.”

“Ah…That…Ah, hello…”

“What, Ha-ryun, do you know who you are?”

“Yes, sister. I saw it during the queen ant nest and the D-level exam.”

“Queen ant nest? Isn’t that a hidden gate?”

Jeong Ha-ryun nodded and whispered in Seol Da-jin’s ear. It’ll tell you how you found out.

“…What. Did something like that happen?”

As he shrugged, Seol Da-jin snorted and looked at Jeong So-hee. The eyes were not pleasant. Well, the first meeting wasn’t that good.

“Sorry, I’m busy. Hey, let’s go.”

“Ah, goodbye…Oh, brother let’s go…”

Jeong Ha-ryun in my arms, Seol Da-jin standing on the other side. Jeong So-hee was slowly falling apart while watching me and the lovers.

“Ah…”

A sobbing sound comes out.
Seol Dajin, who looked at her strangely, pulled my arm. I meant to go fast. As I nodded and was about to move on.

Wow!!!

A beep sounded from the smartphone.

It wasn’t just my phone.
The things of the lovers next to you, and the things of Jung So-hee. Alarms went off on everyone’s smartphones throughout the park.

Shortly thereafter, sirens blared from the park’s speakers.

「S-class reverse gate occurred! S-class reverse gate occurs! An evacuation order has been issued for Cloud Park. Evacuate immediately if you are in the park! This is a real situation. Let me tell you again…”

An urgent text message on my smartphone was saying the same thing.

The park fell into chaos in an instant.
The gathered hunters started to leave Burinake Park, and Jung So-hee and we also went outside through the entrance right in front of us.

No, I was going to leave.

Thud!!

“…?”

“Hey!?”

“Brother!?”

If something transparent hadn’t blocked my way.
The lovers who went out casually look back and come back to me.

Thud!

In the meantime, Jung So-hee also bumped into something and fell.

“…?”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Jung So-hee and I weren’t the only ones blocked by the wall. I see people who can’t go out anywhere else and have fallen.

-What is it, what is it!!
-Hey, there’s a strange wall! Oh, help me!

As soon as I thought something was wrong, I looked at the ground at the entrance to the park. On top of the white powder, you can see a line drawn with gold powder.

What comes to mind.

‘Church!’

No way…!

I quickly took out the stimulant I had in my pocket. The white granules in the small medicine bag were turning black.

The moment you want to throw it away and go out again.

“…!?”

Before we knew it, people in black priestly clothes were surrounding us.

“What are you guys!?”

In an unusual atmosphere, Seol Da-jin screams ferociously and strikes a pose. Jeong Ha-ryun also raised his fist.

One of them gestures to be quiet and casts a glance behind me. As if possessed by something, let’s follow them and look toward the outdoor performance hall.

– Imperet illi Deus! Commanded by his name. You won’t get out of here!

I saw Choi Yi-yeon standing alone among the clothes she threw away.

And before that.
Her emcee looking down at her on stage.

“!?”

A black aura rippled through his body and his appearance changed. He appears as a man in a black suit and red shirt.

At the same time.

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

Jeong So-hee, who let out a painful moan, collapsed. The same goes for the others who couldn’t get out.

“Wake up, prepare for purification!”

‘What…’

As I was confused by what had suddenly happened, I felt another popular movement. A white woman and Song Seong-wu enter under the escort of priests behind a transparent curtain.

In his hand was a white sword.

It was then. Yiyeon Choi, who was confronting the one who was the host, shouted.

-Start the majestic exorcism!
