Chapter 48: Peach Blossom Girl (4)


Seol Young took the lead.

The fear and pain felt by the dead were deeply imprinted into his belongings that it was difficult for me to see his actual thoughts. We better try again after calming him down. Especially this time

In the middle of talking, with everyone being elated, he sensed something in his arm.

The ghost mask that he had brought with him.

The reaction it was giving was stronger than before. And it almost fell out.

Not yet!

Seol Young was startled and pressed it hard.

It had a strong will to punish the demon. It didnt seem to understand who was stopping it or why. So it continued to vibrate even though Seol Young was already pressing it.

No. I get to decide when you can come out.

Seol Young carried the thoughts of the seal and suppressed them.

Finally, the mask went silent.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

?

Zaha, who watched this, said,

Did you forget to pray for the dead man this time? Is that why he is angry?

I knew it. Even if it is a keepsake of the dead man, I knew that stealing it would never do any good.

It seemed like he misunderstood something, but Seol Young didnt correct him.

Anyway as you may have already guessed, it was the work of a ghost this time. And it seems like a vengeful one.

A vengeful ghost was a ghost that had a hard time leaving a certain place.

Zaha asked,

And what about the place?

I dont know. It looked like an abandoned house.

Abandoned house.

Or maybe an abandoned building. If it dared to lure and kill the victim there, then that place must have an important meaning.

Seol Young looked around before stopping.

Where do we do it? It should be a quiet place where no one can disturb us

That house?

That would be nice.

Seol Young found a place and pointed at it.

It was a place called Light Hand Pavilion. Almost all the buildings in the area had the word hand, which meant a gambling hall.

Do you have no shame?

Zaha said, but Seol Young just continued to walk ahead.

Gambling halls are normally noisy, but this place wasnt like that. There was no way anyone would not notice them here. This place was quiet, like a temple.

And even if it was quiet, there were curtains around each place so the others wouldnt see the other side. Even if a man was stabbed here, no one would know.

They sat down, and Zaha said nothing. Seol Young looked at the table and reached out his hand.

Here it is.

The fourteen-sided dice.

And he set it down with the drink and laugh out loud punishment facing upwards.

Lets start.

Seol Young took out the things he needed.

First of all, we have to purify the pain of the dead man thats in this keepsake.

A talisman was placed on top of the pocket knife, and it burst into flames. A soft, warm light slowly engulfed the knife.

Next is fear.

He took out two empty yellow talisman sheets and wrote something on them. He combined it with the three pre-written talismans he had and threw all five of them into the air in five directionseast, west, south, north, and center.

Zaha noticed what it was.

Defense?

Seol Young nodded.

Thoughts had no soul, so he was trying to neutralize the fear with a defense talisman.

After waiting for it to happen, a dark aura began to dissipate. The fear and pain of the dead man could never be fully eliminated. Still, it was better than before.

Then let us start.

He is watching the ghost.

What?

Darkness covered the figure, and Seol Young clenched onto the keepsake.

I will try to take a closer look.

He raised his spiritual power and began to chant the mantra of light.

And the surroundings turned brighter.

The darkness around the murderer was lifted, and someones figure was revealed.

His heart sank right then.

I shouldnt look!

Seol Young realized it then.

The darkness wasnt caused by the opponent. It was made by Seol Young himself.

The opponent showed his identity from the start, but Seol Young was the one who stopped it.

To protect himself.

NO!

He tried to stop the spell, but he couldnt open his eyes.

This was no longer his spell. It had been taken over by the opponent.

A woman.

The figure of the womans back with undone hair turned toward him. At the same time, the dice rolled around. The fourteen-sided dice with penalties spun round and round.

NO! If that stops!

Seol Young tried to open his eyes, but he couldnt, as if something was stopping him.

If the dice stop, I die!!!

The penalty dice continued to turn.

Dance without sound.

Dont move no matter how much you are touched.

Call yourself a goblin.

All the penalties would bring terrible deaths.

I need to move before it stops

But he couldnt lift a finger.

Seol Young-rang? Are you sleeping?

His heart felt cold.

The dice was slowing down. It was going to stop any moment now, and before that, the keepsake had to be destroyed.

Seol Young did all he could, and his tongue loosened.

Knife!

All he could do was say one word.

Knife?

Zaha asked curiously.

Not sure what it is about. Break it, I guess?

A powerful force struck Seol Youngs hand. And he could tell even with his eyes closed that it was the Dead Slayer sword.

The keepsake broke.

With the medium gone, the bond to the evil spirit was gone, and he was back to normal.

Seol Young opened his eyes.

[ACKKKKKK!]

A desperate scream came from the knife, which was broken in half. Thoughts couldnt scream, but it seemed to be the pain of the dead man.

It was his agony at the moment of his death.

The talismans that were floating everywhere fell, burning into white ash.

A bunch of red things poured out of the keepsake, which was broken.

Peach blossoms.

An unbelievably huge amount poured out and spilled all over the table.

Peach trees were known to have the power to exorcise and defeat evil

Each of these flowers seemed to harbor a deep grudge, though.

It was an indescribably horrifying sight to see.
