Chapter 209 – Chapter 209- True Blood (2)

When I woke up, the appearance of the room, which was no different from usual, greeted me.

Even the morning sunlight pouring in from the window and the sound of unknown birds chirping.

It was always the same morning and the same scenery.

Because today was such an important day, I felt something different.

Bleeding.

Today I had to face the instability of the world and see if I could fix it.

At the crossroads of the future, the wisdom of prayer, which gives trials, gave as many as three trials.

It must have been because of my choice to offer my blood today.

Not only did she save Areum, but the situation led to blood loss at once.

Looking back at the now horrifyingly well-coordinated situation, the origin foreknowledge must have predicted this future as well.

‘Unconditional favor and kindness to strangers.’

It was a very simple content, but looking back at the results now, it was a chilling prophecy.

First meeting with Areum.

If, at that time, I was wary of Areumi even a little bit, if I had expressed my doubts.

At first, Arum, who was extremely unstable, might have run away from me.

And if again.

In order to find Areumie who escaped like that, the members of the shadows are chasing her.

In order to shake off those shadow members, Areumyi uses dragon words.

If you came to Merlin.

It wasn’t terrible, and a desperate future would have come.

“… Wow.”

It didn’t happen, but it’s just an assumption.

If I ever assumed that the above situation would happen, I got goosebumps on my arms.

“I’m glad.”

In any case, that past did not happen, and could not happen in the future.

Merlin was trapped in my dreams like a Pokémon.

“Turn it off.”

After I warmed up once, I simply washed.

As Kim Ji-hye said yesterday, true blood is offered in the afternoon, but arrives at the shadow family before then.

Another caution, because I had to prepare.

“Whoa.”

After getting ready to go to the shadow family, he put the bankruptcy sword into his bosom.

Unbeknownst to me, the tension was rising.

It had to be.

Depending on whether or not I can solve the true blood today, the option of war was divided.

Although standing at the crossroads of great destiny, looking at the still peaceful family.

I left the house

* *

Shadow crest.

Arriving at the shadow family early in the morning, I visited Kim Ji-hye’s office.

As if Kim Si-hee had been waiting, she brought out the food she had prepared to the big table.

“Let’s eat.”

Having breakfast with Kim Ji-hye for the second time, I was moderately full.

After her meal, Kim Ji-hye smoked a cigarette and slowly removed her lips.

“Kang Han-jun.”

“Yes.”

Kim Ji-hye, who watched me with eyes filled with various sentiments, flicked out her cigarette with her thumb.

Her cigarette ricocheted off Kim Ji-hye, and she disappeared in the air.

It was a familiar sight by now.

“I’ve talked a lot about today, but in case you don’t know, let’s summarize it briefly.”

I nodded.

“The instability of the world. To solve this instability that occurred deep underground, true blood is dedicated. The space dedicated to true blood is magic, the basement of the Yokai Academy. You know that?”

It was something I couldn’t have known.

But Kim Ji-hye, as if she might have missed something, she simply continued to organize the situation.

“The only ones who can enter the underground are 10 members. Among the 10 members, 6 are the evil forces. The other 4 are me and the other neutral forces who are in temporary positions.”

Except for Kim Ji-hye and her evil forces, there were also monsters I knew on the neutral side.

Principal, Shifu.

Shifu, who was also Kim Cha-ryeok’s teacher, was a member of the neutral faction.

The three neutral forces had their own reasons for occupying the House of Representatives.

One was to occupy the seat of a member of parliament, to keep his power in his own way.

One was not trustworthy by all, and was a member of the council.

Lastly, since the headmaster had only a short time left in his life, he offered himself as his doctor and offered his blood.

After I was lost in my thoughts for a moment, Kim Ji-hye spoke to me.

“Today, if you can solve the instability of the world, if you can no longer seek the means of true blood… I said what would happen.”

“You said to root out the evil forces.”

War.

A clash between forces and forces was inevitable.

As I put on a serious expression, Kim Ji-hye gave me words of comfort.

“Don’t think it’s because of you. It was going to happen anyway.”

Profit.

Kim Ji-hye lit a cigarette, and she took a deep breath.

“Surely, from the moment the headmaster died, from the moment the councilor’s seat was vacated, he would have creaked. And again, as time goes by, it will inevitably cause friction somehow.”

Widely.

As if Jihye Kim was annoyed, she flicked a cigarette in the air.

“Because they were like that from the beginning. So, don’t think that it happened because of you. Kang Kang-jun, you’re just coping with future disasters.”

“……”

I calmly ate my heart without saying anything.

Seeing me like this, Kim Ji-hye took out another cigarette and asked.

“It’s a fucking thing. It should’ve been sorted out from the beginning.”

Kim Ji-hye murmured in a voice filled with her dejection and irritation, and uttered a low voice.

For a moment there was silence in the room.

In the meantime, while I was organizing her thoughts, I increased the situation after Kim Ji-hye told me.

“If I confirm that I can cure the true blood, I will not immediately go to war. He said that he would prepare various things first.”

“Yeah, the other side wouldn’t even dream that you could solve true blood. We’ll have to prepare a lot of things.”

Kim Ji-hye nodded at me as if asking me to say something.

“First of all, we have to appease the neutral forces.”

“Right.”

“In the old days, there was a tense war of nerves between six evil forces, three neutral forces, and Jihye noona. Now, the phoenix, who has been cut in half, and Merlin are dead. , Because it can upset the balance at once.”

It was at least 5-5.

“And not only the neutral forces, but also the remaining clans and families in this world are brought here one by one.”

Let me stop talking and take a breath.

Kim Ji-hye took over her words and completed her sentence.

“Unless that person is an idiot, he must have noticed something suspicious. Then, first strike the cancer.”

During the time to attract power, after somehow finding out the dark demon’s abode.

When a war breaks out, wipe out the clan of dark demons that will be the most difficult, and make it from 5 to 5 to 4 to 5 at once.

This was the situation after Kim Ji-hye portrayed it.

After organizing the rough situation, she found that her scale was absurdly large.

“… After tidying up, I’m rather nervous.”

When I muttered bitterly, Kim Ji-hye said.

“It has no choice but to be nervous here, and never be nervous in front of those bastards.”

Jihye Kim advised me with her low sunken eyes.

“They’re dog-like puppies, and if you show them a weakness, they’ll bite you right away.”

“It should be.”

No matter how doglike they were, they were the heads of their respective clans and shaman houses.

Because they knew exactly where they were and what power they had.

I couldn’t take it lightly, and I couldn’t be afraid.

“I have to make up my mind.”

I smiled lightly and patted my chest.

Kim Ji-hye must have felt something strange about my appearance, so she watched me silently.

“And all of this, when you succeed.”

“Yes.”

“If you decide you can’t fix your insecurities, from then on you’ll have no choice but to hold on until you can.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

I asserted

“It’s still just a hunch, but it seems like it will happen.”

The creaking gears were already aligned.

All of the situations that had been going on since Areum should have been for this.

At my confident words, Kim Ji-hye smiled chicly.

“Good.”

After that, I listened to a few more warnings and briefly relaxed at the training ground.

Together with Kim Ji-hye, he started at a witchcraft and ghost academy.

After vacation, it was the first academy to go back to.

* *

Big front door.

It’s been a few months, but now I pass the front gate of the ghost academy, a witchcraft that feels a little strange.

Entering the large main building, I was able to face someone.

“Did you come?”

“I’m here, Grandma.”

Took.

As if it had been waiting in advance, the yokai perched on top of the stairs was Shifu.

Just like when I first entered the witchcraft and yōkai academy.

As if pushing the ground, Shifu slid down the stairs and faced us.

After briefly greeting us, Shifu looked up at me blankly.

A petite body, three thin beards sprouting from his cheeks.

Shifu, who had the appearance of a benevolent old woman with round ears that sprouted up, spoke to me.

“I didn’t know the situation would turn out like this. After all, you look like your father and mother.”

“Okay?”

“Yes, they are the two who created the world and ended the war on their own in the first place. They had many accidents.

Shifu’s eyes staring at me seemed to overlap with two other people.

“Because they are children.”

“Yes, he is the same son.”

Sifu, who had been silently watching me, fluttered his long sleeves and turned his body.

“Come in, we still have some time. Let’s get some tea.”

“Let’s go.”

Jihye Kim slowly followed Shifu.

I also followed him, just as I was about to enter the main building.

Suddenly, Shifu stopped walking.

“…?”

As if wondering why he suddenly stopped walking, I was looking at Shifu.

Shifu said nothing, and continued to look behind me.

I want to see what’s behind me, let’s turn our heads.

Under the stairs.

There was a human figure wrapped around the body with a cowjang made of straw.

Breathing sound, gicheok.

No matter how relaxed I was, I couldn’t feel the presence of that thing that existed at close range.

It was heterogeneous.

It stood out more than anything else because it was an outfit that was far from the surroundings.

The sensations on his skin were telling him that nothing was there.

Dark ears.

It was bound to be a dark ghost for anyone to see.

Swoop.

Without any sign, the Dark Ghost, which came gliding towards us, approached us.

Because the whole body was covered with a straw hat and cowjang, I couldn’t even see the dark ghost hidden inside.

The dark ghost that approached us continued to walk toward the main building without saying anything, as if we weren’t actually aiming for it.

But when it passed me by.

For the first time, I was able to see one of the dark ghosts.

Pupil.

White eyes that had turned to pure white were watching me.

Suddenly, what Hong Ma-dong had said in his dream came to mind.

‘That bastard only makes eye contact with the guy he’ll kill.’

I didn’t say anything, but the dark ghost was very splendid from the beginning of the day.
