The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

I looked at the flashing address.

The location is Gyeonggi-do, and it was an ordinary family house there.

The phone number was canceled 7 years ago.

It was a good enough reason why the police hadn’t been able to find it until now.

“hmm···”

As expected, finding clues was easy.

But the problem starts now.

Out of so many addresses, it’s so strange that I suddenly choose to go here.

So from now on, I had to derive the correct answer, this address, with plausible reasoning.

“·······”

I thought for a moment, pretending to go through the other lists.

4428 is entered in the phone number, and numerous addresses that have been entered.

However, there were many companies and shops among them.

Then… is there any way to separate the normal dwellings first?

After thinking about it for a while, I quickly found the answer.

Unlike an office or a company, if it was a home, there was one more thing that could be checked by a national institution.

“excuse me···”

“Tell me.”

“Can people who lived at this address be searched?”

“It is possible as long as it is the address on the resident registration.”

It was also as expected.

So I added one more condition to it.

“Then finding out which of them is stored in the police internal database?”

In other words, among the residents of the address, was there anyone involved in the crime?

It’s voice phishing using a smartphone, so no matter how you look at it, it’s not something a monster would do.

In other words, it was my judgment that spirits or demons were involved.

Also, since spirits inherit some of the memories and characteristics of the deceased, it is possible that he was a criminal during his lifetime.

Needless to say, if you were a Mine, you would have been specific to the police, so you made this request.

At my words, Sophia nodded.

“It will take some time, but it is possible. Please wait a moment.”

I eagerly awaited the result.

Although he demanded vigorously, there were enough loopholes.

After all, it was all just a possibility.

So even if the list came out, there might not be an answer I knew.

“Here it is. The scope has narrowed quite a bit.”

As Sophia said, the number of addresses was around 40 now.

From petty crimes such as theft and petty fraud, to some serious crimes such as attempted murder.

And fortunately, among them was a highlighted person.

It was a man with a criminal record, who died five years ago.

“Do you think the culprit is among them?”

Of course there is.

‘Cause I can see it in my eyes

But I nodded my head in a serious manner.

“I think the possibility is high.”

“Why?”

I told Sophia what I was thinking.

There were obvious loopholes in it, but Sophia didn’t say anything about it.

It’s a case with few clues in the first place.

So no matter what reasoning you put forward, it couldn’t be perfect.

If the evidence was overflowing enough to make a perfect reasoning, someone would have already solved the case.

“Then why did you only search for general households?”

“In the case of a company or store, it is not possible to investigate even the employees. There is no particular reason, but I left it out because it would be impossible to look up.”

At my words, Sofia smiled and nodded.

“That’s right. We don’t even have a list of the company’s executives and employees. Of course, if the business has not been closed by now, you can request each one individually, but it will take time.”

“Then, are you going to look back on all of this now?”

Han Seong-min, who was still, asked.

Addresses were spread across the country.

Among them, there are about 10 in Seoul and another 10 in Gyeonggi-do. The rest were other provinces.

From here on, I won’t be able to pull out the address I want at once… so I’ll have to put in this much effort.

“Okay, let’s look around Seoul first.”

I grabbed the list and moved right away.

It was Wednesday, two more days later, that we arrived at our destination after checking from so close.

*

“Oh, it’s the waist.”

Standing in front of the police car again after lunch, Han Sung-min stretched and muttered.

It just made my back hurt.

The whole two days he spent mostly driving.

“Are you okay? Can I drive for you now?”

“It’s okay, don’t. I have nothing to do anyway, so I have to do this.”

Han Seong-min said that and waved his hand.

The result of watching these two days.

Contrary to his rough-looking appearance, he had his own shame.

“Anyway, I’ve covered Seoul with this.”

“okay. I have to go here now.”

“Huh, it’s getting farther away.”

I pointed to an address.

The destination was Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, at the far end of Gyeonggi-do.

Because of that, it’s quite a distance from Seoul.

“But why do you have to go far away? Gyeonggi-do hasn’t been around yet.”

“That way, when it ends, it won’t end somewhere close to Seoul.”

“Ah, that’s right. Your hair is good.”

Actually, I stopped by there because I knew the correct answer.

Han Seong-min, who did not know that, nodded and said so.

We got into the car and started moving.

Then, I suddenly asked him.

“But how did you become an exorcist cop?”

“What, are you asking that right now?”

Han Seong-min said with an absurd face.

I mean, I was asking what crime did you commit to being here?

But I had a good reason.

“Last night, the team leader said that. Originally, he should have told me, but I want you to listen to him first.”

The team leader and I, who are in executive positions in the team, are implicitly in a position to manage the prisoners who are on the same team.

That’s why Seo In-na had to explain the prisoners’ crimes and sentences to me, but she didn’t want to do that herself.

Prisoner…no, she respected her teammates, she wanted to speak for herself rather than relaying the words behind the backs of her teammates.

“Anyway… a useless thing…”

That’s what he said, but Han Sung-min didn’t hate it.

He let out a cough while the car stopped at a traffic light.

“Hmmm, then what should I say first?”

“From the crime and sentence.”

“You speak very much like a detective.”

“Because he is a detective.”

“Huh, that’s right.”

Han Seong-min smiled and continued.

“Seven years in prison for assault and death. I’m in my third year in prison now.”

The car moved again with a low engine sound.

kill the assault

In other words, it was a story that Han Seong-min beat someone to death.

“Why, did something happen?”

“What kind of circumstances are the circumstances.”

“There is a situation, so the team leader must have told you to listen.”

Han Sung-min sighed deeply.

Then, slowly, he opened his mouth again.

“I was originally a bully.”

“I thought it would be like that. Did you even rip off the money?”

“Why am I taking the money? It’s not that I don’t have money. It just happened because I destroyed the people who were quarreling.”

His story was like this.

Han Seong-min had frequent fights since he was a student.

It was because of his attitude that he would destroy all those who quarreled with him, regardless of the target.

From a rogue upperclassman to a real neighborhood bully.

Because of this, his high school days were full of fights, but he never broke down.

It was because Han Seong-min was strong.

But then something happened.

One of the guys who held a grudge against Han Sung-min couldn’t defeat him, so he wanted to get revenge on his family.

“But those bastards were real assholes. They say they have my sister with them. i don’t have anything like that It turned out that it was a girl who lived in the same apartment.”

“so?”

“So what… If I don’t go, isn’t it obvious what I will do to her? So I went where I was told to come. But those pups were quite numerous. Dangerous use of weapons. So I couldn’t control my strength.”

Han Seong-min spoke calmly.

It was a story about killing people there.

“How many people have you killed?”

“···three.”

Somehow, I thought the sentence was a bit high for an assault and death with a story.

Hearing his story, I nodded.

“Then, do you have four years left?”

“yes.”

“What will you do after 4 years?”

Prisoners like Han Seong-min are given options when their sentences are over.

Will I continue to live as an exorcist or return to being a normal person?

However, he seemed to have no intention of returning to normalcy.

“What am I going to do when I go out? I have to eat this and live.”

“Yeah, that might be better. I also prepared for a job, but it was filthy difficult.”

“Surely, I started as a police officer, so the salary is too low.”

“You have to deal with that.”

“Wow, he easily says he’s an inspector.”

“Yes, because I am the Inspector.”

“her···!”

Han Seong-min made such a noise as if he was stunned.

After that, small talk ensued.

A long time after the car ran on the road like that.

We arrived in front of an old abandoned building in a corner of the countryside.

“According to the address, this is it…”

Han Seong-min looked around.

But there was literally nothing nearby.

There is just a small road with cars in front.

There was also a nearby village, but it was also a location far away from it.

“This isn’t a house, it’s almost a warehouse.”

The building was a two-story building made of red bricks.

However, there were not many windows, and it was full of desolate atmosphere for a home.

and,

“…on the right on the second floor. There is something inside.”

As soon as I got out of the car, my spirit detection skill was already responding.

That said, it’s not a demon, but a spirit.

Also, the figure of level 28 told us that he was an emperor.

“Hey, are you really there? The Inspector is also something different. I really didn’t know you could find it.”

“what? Did you think you wouldn’t find it?”

“I thought I was just a high school student again.”

Han Seong-min giggled and took out his divine instrument.

His treasure was an iron baseball bat.

The grade I see is rare.

When I checked the attached stats, it was a decent miracle with moderate stamina and strength.

In response, I also put my hand on the star cloud sword.

The entrance was quite wide, so I planned to charge at the same time as Han Seong-min.

“Didn’t you learn that these things are made for prisoners? I’ll go first. If the inspector scratches you, listen to what the team leader says.”

Saying that, Han Seong-min opened the door first.

I didn’t bother to stop him.

Han Seong-min’s level is 44, much higher than Choi Eun-young’s.

Unlike Choi Eun-young, who was said to have played an active part in the support team, he, a complete combatant, was never at the level of being defeated by the hwangryeong.

“The building is dirty once.”

Han Seong-min, who entered the building with curiosity, glared at the surroundings.

The inside of the building was dusty, as if it had been neglected for a long time.

Also, there are sparsely neglected furniture, just standing on it.

And a corner of such a building.

The stairs to the second floor were blocked by a steel door.

Although it was old, it was a door that I couldn’t penetrate with my sword.

However, Han Sung-min’s ability was demonstrated in front of him.

“Did you put this as a door?”

Han Sung-min’s whole body turned silver.

His ability is to transform his body into the metal he touches.

And now he had a steel bat in his hand.

With his whole body turned to steel, he slammed the door.

Quadruped!

The door was greatly distorted with a single blow to the body.

and,

“aaa!”

He rammed it again with a shout, and the hinges of the door could not handle the force and tore off.

No matter how old the door was, it was an iron door, but to pierce it so ignorantly.

Even so, there was not a single wound on Han Sung-min’s body.

I thought I knew why only Han Seong-min was uninjured on a business trip to the provinces.

“Ha, I can’t hide anymore.”

Han Seong-min, who smashed the door, triumphantly went up to the second floor.

Then, for the first time, I saw the figure of the spirit nesting on the second floor.

“uuu!”

Reinforcing bars… No, the spirit that looked like its entire body had been pierced by wires let out a groan.

However, Han Seong-min did not care about this and rushed forward.

Then, he proudly swung his sacred weapon, a baseball bat, at Lyeong.

Wow!

“Keep it off!”

A bloody explosion of bone and leather overlapped with the screams of spirits.

Han Seong-min’s attack was simple without any technique, but the power contained in it was truly enormous.

In a single blow, the emperor’s arm was torn apart as if it had been broken.

“Ooh! Dying!”

At this, the spirit went mad and moved the wires threaded all over the body.

Each wire is as thick as a human thumb.

Nearly 10 of those things were swung around, splitting the air.

The wires that protect its surroundings as if it were protecting the Spirit.

Kwadeuk!

Some of them hit the walls of the building, and the old bricks crumbled away helplessly.

A level that would break even the bones at once if a normal person gets hit.

however.

“The ghost’s catch technique…!”

Han Seong-min approached Hwang-ryeong without hesitation.

Then, undoubtedly, the fierce power lines hit him, but Han Sung-min did not shake.

His body, which had been transformed into steel, was already much harder than wires.

“Get behind me, kid.”

And he swung his bat at the anima.

puck! puck! The sound of a piece of metal hitting a piece of rotten meat was heard one after another.

When the sound ended, the emperor had already turned into a dented can.

“I catch it ignorantly.”

“It’s not ignorance, it’s simple.”

Han Seong-min said that and finally broke the hwangryeong’s earthenware pot.

Pooak!

The illusion that something flowed from the emperor’s head disappeared for a while.

“Is there anything else?”

“There are no more spirits.”

Saying that, I entered the room on the second floor where the emperor was hiding.

If this emperor really was doing voice phishing, there must be some evidence.

But inside the room… there was something glowing black.
