The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

There aren’t many people who can wait for an escaped escapee.

It’s probably the same demon criminal organization that helped break out with a high probability.

So it was not good for us to procrastinate here.

You never know when they’ll come in here.

However, Na Ha-jung had the exact opposite idea.

“I know that. So, if we wait like this… isn’t that saying more demons will come?”

She was planning to kill other demons who would come to find the dead here as well.

But in my judgment it was too risky.

“I can’t win. Do you know how many people will come? And I have to inform the gallery. If what they’re after is a member of a criminal organization, there could be a big battle.”

“·······”

Despite my words, Na Ha-jeong did not move.

So I also said it emphatically.

“Okay, pick up the body and follow me. It is an order.”

“···yes.”

I pointed to the corpse of Majin and said, and then Na Hajeong followed me.

I checked her level just in case, but there was no red mark indicating hostility.

I immediately returned to the place where the exorcists of the gallery were.

*

“You said you caught him?”

The gallery was still fighting fakes.

So, the exorcist at Hwarang didn’t believe my words easily at first.

After explaining the demon’s corpse and the whole incident, he nodded as if he was convinced.

“I see. These children…”

He frowned in displeasure.

It was as if they were being manipulated by a criminal organization right now.

“Somehow, I felt like I was being dragged along. No matter how tall it is, I can’t hold it for this long. I will inform the company right away.”

Saying so, the exorcist of Hwarang called his colleagues together.

while he was away

Na Ha-jeong, who had been forced to leave the abandoned village at my command, looked at me with a refreshing smile as if she had never done that before.

I asked her

“By the way… is the ability to transform into a wolf common? Or is it possible to imitate the abilities of others?”

Hwarang’s testimony that they are still chasing wolves.

That is, besides the demons we killed, there were other demons that could turn into wolves.

Na Ha-jeong then answered simply.

“It is the latter. I haven’t seen the ability to copy someone else’s supernatural ability… but there are divine creatures and monsters that can do that. It is relatively common to have a tradition of deceiving someone by changing into someone else’s appearance.”

I nodded.

If they were really playing around with such a god, it was understandable that they hadn’t been caught yet.

Since it has another ability besides the ability to transform into a wolf, it must be much more difficult to track.

“Then, how will the Hwarang come out?”

“I will withdraw immediately.”

“I guess so, right?”

From Hwarang’s point of view, the moment the prisoner died, her work was over.

It is purely the duty of the police to investigate and arrest the criminal organizations related to him.

but···

That’s what I was supposed to do, never was.

I immediately took out my phone and called team leader Seo In-na.

And we reported exactly what we had investigated.

OK,

“Withdraw for now.”

Seo In-na also gave such an order.

It was natural.

We’re here to catch the escaped, not to take on the mysterious organization trying to get him out of the back.

I don’t know how big the organization is, but I couldn’t stick my head into its jaws.

Then, Seo In-na asked me for a few things and hung up.

“We want to withdraw too.”

At those words, Na Ha-jeong’s face faded for a moment, but she nodded.

It seemed reluctant, but he must have a good understanding of his subject, who could not go against the instructions.

Just then, the exorcist from Hwarang approached us again.

“The company has set a policy.”

“okay. What is it?”

“The headquarters ordered all members to withdraw. What are the police going to do?”

It was an answer as expected.

So I nodded and conveyed some of the requests I had heard from Seo In-na to them.

“If there is no hostile movement from them, we will withdraw. But before that, I have a favor to ask of you. First of all, the tracking team will give you information about the Mine you saw today-”

He said this and that, but in the end, the police wanted only one thing.

It is to cooperate with the investigation of how the Mine criminal organization got involved with the escaped prisoner.

In response, the Hwarang side nodded lightly.

It might be annoying from their point of view, but there was no reason to refuse if the work was finished to this extent.

“of course. Lee Hyun-ah, the managing director of the gallery, promised cooperation at the company level. and···”

Saying that, the man handed me a business card.

The name written there is… Lee Hyeon-ah.

He was the person the man had mentioned as the manager of the gallery.

“It seems that our managing director highly regarded the Inspector’s abilities. then.”

As if it wasn’t his business card, the man said that and left.

You thought my ability was high?

Well, it wasn’t anything strange.

It was like I went alone and caught the escaped prisoner while the exorcists from his company were digging.

But what does it mean to give only your daughter and business cards?

“Oh, that’s a scout.”

As I was staring at the business card, Na Ha-jeong, who was next to me, said.

“A scout?”

“yes. After all, I can’t speak openly to someone who is a police officer.”

“Hmm…”

I didn’t mean it badly.

I took good care of that business card.

I don’t really have any plans to change jobs, but it wouldn’t be bad if I had a relationship with an executive at a large company.

by the way.

“Did this really come from a criminal organization?”

As I muttered that, I looked at the teeth embedded in the dead devil’s chest.

The ghost, still emitting ominous black smoke, was shining viciously on my hand.

Seeing that there was no mention of this at all, it seems that it was not an item owned by the Hwarang.

In fact, even if it was from the Hwarang side, the ghost was an item subject to confiscation anyway.

“It is difficult to see ghosts, but the Inspector has already found two?”

“Because I have a good ability to find such things. I will take care of this.”

I pretended to leave the artifact in the police car, while looking at the item description window.

＜First Fang of Lycanthrope＞

The sharpest of the 22 teeth left by the first werewolf.

Puts a werewolf curse on a human.

“hmm···”

Is it because it’s a precious thing?

It was a useless thing to me.

Even if I tried to use it forcibly, it had no effect on me, who has ＜Heart of Light＞, as long as it gave me a werewolf curse.

So I tried to close the window as it is, but now I see a completely different button flashing.

That’s the crafting button on the cube box.

The cube box has synthesis, reinforcement, and production functions, and among them, the production function, which was locked until the end, was opened.

＜Obtaining key materials unlocks the crafting function!＞

Acquiring key ingredients?

Are you talking about this ghost?

I just tried using the crafting function.

Immediately after that, the item window opened first, and the weapons and equipment I had appeared.

Among them, only the star cloud sword is active.

When selecting Star Cloud Sword, lycanthrope fangs were automatically selected as the material, and the result was displayed.

＜Stellar Cloud Sword of Annihilation＞

epic item

60-90 attack power

strength +15

Agility +15

wound effect

Attribute [King’s Guardian] Acquisition

When I checked the stats, the attack power and stats were slightly higher than before.

Other than that, an option called ‘apply wound effect’ was added.

The moment I thought, what is that?, help came out.

＜Wound effect: Damage caused by a weapon with this effect cannot be healed for a certain period of time. Also reduces the recovery ability of hit enemies by half.＞

“oh···”

It was an effect that blocked the enemy’s regenerative power.

After catching werewolves, you can craft weapons that can catch more werewolves.

For some reason, it felt like I had left the equipment on the top of the mountain to climb the mountain comfortably.

Come to think of it, a lot of games were like this, so I couldn’t complain.

Besides, there is nothing to lose by producing it anyway.

but···

“How do I steal this?”

The problem was that this ghost wasn’t fully mine yet.

In principle, when the police retrieve valuables, they send them to the Special Investigation Headquarters.

After that, they say they will take appropriate measures, such as sealing or destroying it, but I haven’t heard the exact details yet.

Although there is a way to just press the production button and pretend not to know.

The stumbling block was that Naha-jeong also knew the existence of this ghost.

I don’t think it will work even if I tell them not to.

Even if Na Ha-jeong said so, I still couldn’t believe her.

If that’s the case, I’d rather openly watch the match with Seo In-na, the team leader.

“What are you doing?”

At that time, Na Ha-jeong approached.

It must have seemed strange to me to be stuck behind a police car saying that I was bringing a treasure.

I closed the car door that I had left open casually.

“it’s nothing. Rather, we will watch a little and go back.”

It’s just one possibility, though.

The Mine organization could have attacked the exorcists of the retreating Hwarang.

So, after making sure they were completely evacuated, we went back to the police box.

By the time we arrived at the police box, the sunset was already setting.

***

“mmm…”

Cha Seo-hyun slowly opened her eyes in a vague sense of helplessness.

I could see the white ceiling and the white screen next to it.

Cha Seohyun, it wasn’t her house.

Because she likes dark colors, she used dark blue wallpaper.

“·······”

In the silence, Seohyun Cha searched for memories.

And soon I opened my eyes.

The last memory she has is the moment when she was surprised by a face mask that was disguised as a human.

“This is…!”

Seohyun Cha immediately got up and looked around.

But it was a hospital.

Another bed was visible beyond the white screen.

Sunny sunlight was pouring in from the window on one wall.

Unlike her last memory, the scenery was so peaceful.

“Isn’t it… a demon?”

Cha Seohyun muttered softly.

Then, a nurse passing by the hallway found her, and the nurse immediately called a doctor.

After that, it didn’t take long for Cha Seo-hyun to grasp the situation.

It seems that he lost consciousness in the magic area and was possessed by a spirit, but was rescued after that.

“I see…”

Seohyun Cha was at the police hospital.

This police hospital is the only official hospital in Korea that can treat injuries caused by horses.

That’s why the police hospital did not refuse to treat exorcists belonging to each agency in addition to the police.

Because of this, Cha Seo-hyun, a member of the court, was also hospitalized here.

“Is there any place where you feel uncomfortable?”

It was Choi Jang-mi, a doctor at the police hospital, who asked the question while examining the chart.

Looking at the sharpest rose for a doctor, Seohyun Cha answered.

“yes. There doesn’t seem to be any pain…”

Cha Seohyun tried moving her body around, but all she felt was creaking.

There was no place where I felt a lot of pain.

Then, Jangmi Choi nodded.

“There was no problem with the body even on examination. You’re lucky. To survive even after being possessed by demons.”

Cha Seo-hyun had nothing to say despite Choi Jang-mi’s words as if they were curious.

Because the doctor’s words were so realistic.

“Even though I lost consciousness for a long time because my body was eroded by magic, you can leave the hospital right away after watching for a day or so.”

“Are you discharged…?”

“I have already contacted the court. The guardian will come soon.”

Choi Jang-mi said that and left the hospital room.

Seohyun Cha was sitting in a daze, pondering what the doctor had said, and soon someone opened the door and came in.

It was Lee So-wol, the exorcist of the courthouse.

“Sister Sowol! What have you been up to here-”

“What am I going to do!”

As soon as Lee So-wol arrived, he slapped Cha Seo-hyun on the back.

Cha Seo-hyun was in pain to the point where she could hear the sound, but she shut her mouth when she saw Lee So-wol’s expression.

A frowning face as if angry.

However, Cha Seohyun did not know that it was a facial expression to hide her emotions.

“Stupid b*tch…!”

“… I have no face.”

Seohyun Cha had known Sowol Lee for a long time.

Therefore, it was possible to fully predict how much Lee So-wol was worried about him.

Lee So-wol looked at Cha Seo-hyun with her head down for a while, then sighed.

“done. What about the body?”

“No problem. You can be discharged in one day.”

“I see.”

Lee So-wol sighed once more.

Unlike a moment ago, the feeling of relief was buried.

“Do you know what happened?”

“I heard from the doctor. I was possessed at the magic station…”

“okay. But that’s not all.”

At those words, Cha Seohyun tilted her head.

The doctor only knows that Cha Seo-hyun was possessed for treatment.

I didn’t know by whom or how I was saved.

“What do you mean?”

Lee So-wol told Cha Seo-hyun about the process of her rescue.

It was Nam Tae-soo and Lee So-wol who saved Cha Seo-hyeon, who wouldn’t have been strange if he died at any time.

And… it was a certain policeman I had never heard of before.

“Are you saying that he released my possession?”

“okay. If it wasn’t for that cop, you would have died by my hand.”

“·······”

“So I said I would pay the debt to him. But… Come to think of it, it’s not a debt I have to repay.”

Lee So-wol said that and handed a business card to Cha Seo-hyun.

Inspector Kang Jin-woo.

It belonged to the policeman who had saved Cha Seo-hyun.

“So you go and come.”
