The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

The morning after processing the escaped water.

I reported the matter to Seo In-na.

It was because Seo In-na was also out at the scene yesterday evening, so we couldn’t meet.

“Yes, I saw the report. Superintendent Kang and I, police officer, both worked hard. And the investigation into the criminal group involved will begin today. The organized crime investigation team decided to contact Hwarang right away.”

Seo In-na said that after hearing my report.

First of all, it seems that we have to wait for the results of the investigation here.

“It’s a precious horse I brought yesterday.”

So, I carefully solved the question that I had been harboring since yesterday.

“How are ghosts handled?”

“yes.”

Seo In-na tilted her head at my question.

It’s like saying why would you ask such a thing?

But soon the answer came.

“If you send it to the headquarters, it will be transferred to the analysis team. From there, judge the necessity of the ghost.”

“Necessity?”

“Even if it’s a noble object, it’s something that has tradition or spiritual power in the end. There are things that can be used as materials for witchcraft or experiments, or even used as sacred things with just a few magic tricks. I’m looking into that.”

At her words, I nodded.

Do you mean to use anything that can be used, even if it’s a monster?

“After that, if it is judged that it is not necessary, we will dispose of it, and if it is impossible to dispose of it, we will seal it. But why ask?”

“I want to use that ghost yesterday.”

“you?”

Seo In-na’s brow furrowed slightly.

“You’re not saying you’re going to use the power of a werewolf, are you?”

“Ah, that’s a curse.”

I waved my hand and said.

Then Seo In-na tilted her head.

“then?”

“I think it will match my weapon.”

“You mean your sword? Um… well, it’s not unheard of to have a synergistic effect with each other, but what about ghosts? What is the basis?”

“It is my ability. Spiritual powers seem to go well together… I’m not sure, but I want to try it.”

I spoke vaguely on purpose.

Do spirits come together?

Because it was a random word.

“hmm···”

However, Seo In-na could not easily doubt my words.

That’s right, someone with the ability to detect spiritual power is like that, but he probably has nothing to say.

“Okay, I get it. Then send the demons up and tell the analysis team directly.”

“Analysis team?”

“Because the nobles are in their jurisdiction. If you get permission from there, I have nothing to say.”

So naturally, Seo In-na handed over the decision to the analysis team.

Since she doesn’t have the ability to judge the danger of ghosts, it was a wise move in a way.

So, should I contact Sofia from the analysis team?

That was when I was thinking about it.

“Hey, hey… Inspector Kang.”

Choi Eun-young, who had just entered the office, called me.

“why?”

“You have a visitor…”

“customer? who?”

Seo In-na, who was next to me, reacted first to the word “guest” rather than me.

“It’s Cha Seo-hyun from the courthouse…”

“Ah… it was time to come. Let me show you to the conference room.”

At Seo In-na’s words, Choi Eun-young nodded and went down to the first floor again.

In the meantime, I asked Seo In-na.

“Is it time to come?”

“Yeah, you saved my life. He must have come to say thanks.”

Saying that, Seo In-na looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

The time was past 9:30 in the morning.

“I have nothing to do with you today except paperwork, so you can go downstairs and leave for a while if you need to.”

“Really?”

“Why are you complaining? There should be days like this.”

Seo In-na said that and stretched.

Luckily, it’s an uneventful day.

I grabbed two cans of coffee from the office and went straight down to the meeting room on the first floor.

Then there was the woman I had beaten with a baseball bat at the horse station.

He looked similar to Choi Eun-young, only slightly younger than me.

Long straight hair and clear features.

She was dressed in a suit, but with a hard expression, she was a woman with a somewhat stern expression.

“Are you Inspector Kang Jin-woo?”

“yes. I am Jinwoo Kang.”

When I said that, Seohyun Cha stood up from her seat.

And straight away, he bowed his head 90 degrees to me.

“hello! I am Cha Seo-hyun, whom Inspector Kang Jin-woo saved.”

A courageous greeting that even feels spirited.

I put a can of coffee in her place and opened my mouth.

“Ah…yes. Let’s sit down and talk.”

“thank you! Oh, please share this with the other cops.”

Then, Cha Seo-hyun handed out a drink set for a gift to me.

Pretty expensive looking stuff.

I took it and sat down.

Then Seohyun Cha sat facing me and started to open her mouth.

“Today, I came here to express my gratitude on behalf of the court as well as myself.”

“Yes, you did. It’s nothing.”

“no. I heard the whole story from Sowol Lee. If it wasn’t for the Inspector, I would-“

So for a while, gratitude to me continued.

One of the feelings of gratitude were words that were well conveyed.

Listening to me list the things to be grateful for in detail, one by one, to the point of being burdensome, made my face heat up.

And it wasn’t until another five minutes later that she finally brought up the story I wanted.

“So I’d like to repay the Inspector, but do you have anything you want?”

You’re finally here.

But what I would ask for was already decided long before I came down here.

“I want to learn the Buddhist teachings of the Dharma Hall, is that possible?”

“of course.”

Cha Seohyun answered simply without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, it was because this kind of request was quite frequent against the law party.

Didn’t police officer Han Seong-min know about Buddhism?

In the first place, the Dharma Party was using the Buddhist sword itself as a kind of gift.

Basically, it is forbidden to transfer to anyone other than an exorcist affiliated with the Dharma.

Only exorcists like me who helped the Dharma Hall will be taught some of the Buddhist teachings in return.

“However, it is not easy to reach enlightenment even if you are taught the Buddha Way. Even the first step, Arahant, usually requires a training period of more than one year… is that okay?

“Yes, it is fine.”

I had already heard from Seongmin Han about the transmission and enlightenment of Buddhahood.

According to him, Buddhism itself was similar to learning swordsmanship or spearmanship.

After all, it was about mastering a long series of movements over and over again.

And the realization of the Buddha Way is to reproduce it perfectly, and it was an act of carving the tradition on one’s body.

Of course, it’s not as simple as it sounds, but what about me?

“Also, what can be passed on to outsiders is Arhats and the eight noble minds above them.”

“Yes, I know.”

At my words, Seohyun Cha nodded.

There was no way that the Dharma Party would reveal all of their weapons, so it was an appropriate restriction.

“Because of the rules in our temple, the transmission of Buddhist teachings must only take place inside the temple. So, if you come to us at any convenient time, we will begin the training.”

“Is it possible right now?”

“Are you talking about… yes. of course.”

Even so, Seo In-na was not allowed to go out.

Perhaps she also expected that I would demand the teaching of the Buddha Way against the Dharma Hall.

“Then let’s go right away.”

“All right.”

After that, I moved to the temple of the head of the world with Cha Seo-hyun.

It was the temple where the pre-meeting was held before.

And Cha Seo-hyun guided me to the training hall in the temple, and especially to the private room.

“First, I will demonstrate. I will give you detailed instructions again after that, so please keep an eye on it.”

I nodded.

Then, Cha Seo-hyeon immediately unfolded the Buddha Way corresponding to Arhat in front of her.

That’s… what is it?

It was not a move that corresponds to a common martial art.

“·······”

At least the first movement was similar to the mysterious swordsmanship used by desert elves.

A swordsmanship that created the illusion of a sword like a mirage in the desert, a martial art characterized by disparate movements that were completely different from other swordsmanship.

However, Buddhism completely lost its form as a martial art from the middle.

It’s an art rather than a martial art.

In other words, it was close to a stunt that lost practicality.

After all… is it as expected?

In fact, if Buddhism was simply a type of martial art like swordsmanship or spearmanship.

In this world without aura, it wouldn’t take years to recreate just the action.

However, the transmission of Buddhism only aims at self-mortification and enlightenment.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like their doctrine that in order to attain liberation, one must endlessly fight against the worldly passions.

They deliberately hid their traditions in a place that could never be reached unless they practiced for a long time.

“How was it?”

Seohyun Cha, who reproduced those long and difficult movements, asked.

I replied with a smile.

“It won’t be easy.”

“You will. But I will guide you wholeheartedly.”

Cha Seohyun said with a rather serious attitude.

But unfortunately, my answer just a moment ago was a lie.

I chose the Buddha Way for two reasons.

First, it was because reaching Arahantship, that is, even the most rudimentary enlightenment, could lead to a considerable level of physical ability.

I thought I was getting weaker while dealing with werewolves.

This is a great way to compensate for this.

And the second… because it looked easy, of course.

What about martial arts, and how about arts and crafts?

A deliberately twisted movement?

There was no such thing as another world. No, I wish there were more.

It was a characteristic of those ignorant bastards that, because of auras and whatnot, they randomly incorporated processes that were even more bizarre than the movements of the Buddha Way into swordsmanship.

And I learned hundreds more of that ignorant swordsmanship.

Because of this, I was convinced that I could recreate the Arhat’s Buddha Way just by seeing it with my own eyes.

Of course, if you do it yourself, it will be a little different, but isn’t there a teacher?

If Seohyun Cha pointed out a few ambiguous parts, reproducing that level of motion would have taken an hour, not a year.

“Then let’s try it.”

I deliberately imitated with clumsy movements in front of her.

However, only the parts that I could not fully grasp were clearly confirmed by Seohyun Cha.

30 minutes after that.

“I’m going to practice alone for a while.”

“Is that so? It won’t be easy.”

“it’s okay. See you in 30 minutes.”

“If so…”

With that excuse, I sent Seohyun Cha out of the training ground.

And it perfectly reproduced the Buddha Way of Arahant that I remembered.

OK,

＜I realized the Buddha Way of Arhat!＞

＜Skill: ‘Arhat’ has been added.＞

– Arhat

When activated, all stats except spiritual power +30

“It’s like this.”

The Buddha of Arhats who reached enlightenment all at once.

It seemed to me that the transmission was treated as a skill.

In addition, if all stats are 30, level 20 is a figure that needs to be raised.

Although only the basic stats increased, it was a satisfactory increase as expected.

and after a while

I asked Cha Seo-hyun, who returned to the training ground.

“Could you please tell me the next one?”

“Next is Mahuraga of the Eight Busins, but… that is not allowed according to the law of the temple. If you do not reach the previous stage of enlightenment, you are not qualified for the next one.”

Is it such a system?

Then he could have just revealed that he had attained Arahant’s enlightenment and asked for the next step.

This wasn’t even the police, and there was no reason to be noticed by other forces.

But I didn’t want to prolong the time, so I decided to ask something for reference.

“Then maybe. For those of you who are very talented, how long does it take for Arahat practice?”

“Anyone with talent… you mean?”

After thinking for a moment, Seohyun Cha continued.

“I heard rumors that there are people who reached enlightenment in a week.”

it’s a week

Then I’ll have to say I’ve mastered it in a week and come back.

“That person is Maitreya Buddha, the supreme teacher of our sanctuary. I hope I can meet Inspector Kang someday.”

“·······”

Looking back, it didn’t seem like a week.

Let’s come back in just 15 days.

“All right. Then I’ll practice alone… No, I’ll ask a police officer and I’ll be diligent.”

“You want to go back?”

“yes. I came out for a while because the team leader was considerate.”

“All right. I will guide you to the exit.”

That’s how I came out of the Seoul branch of the General Headquarters with Cha Seo-hyun.

Then, in front of the police car, she handed me her business card.

“You can tell me anytime if you need my help.”

“Ah, yes.”

I reacted moderately, thinking it was a polite remark.

but.

“Distributing the Buddha Way is a reward from the Dharma Party level. I haven’t been able to give you a personal response yet. But honestly, I have nothing to offer. Instead, Inspector Kang saved my life, so I will risk my life to help Inspector Kang someday.”

Listening to what followed, she was not talking empty words.

His eyes were also very determined, and he couldn’t find any playfulness at all.

At that stern attitude, I nodded.

“yes. I will be sure to contact you when necessary.”

I got into the car, and Seohyun Cha bent her back at a 90 degree angle to me.

That waist never straightened until my car started.

*

And a week later, dinner time.

“…it’s annoying.”

I muttered that after sending a lot of hard-written documents to the analysis team.

All this unfamiliar paperwork was done because of the monster, perhaps a fang of a lycanthrope.

A few days ago, the artifact that was passed on to the analysis team was eventually judged to be disposed of.

Thanks to that, I was able to get it back in the name of an experiment without difficulty.

In the end, he went directly to the analysis team and was able to safely produce the Myolrang Star Cloud Sword.

However, this required paperwork according to regulations.

Because of that, I had to fill out several useless documents, such as request forms and test results reports.

Still, since he was able to strengthen his weapon to this extent, it wouldn’t be a loss.

“Is our team all there?”

At that time, team leader Seo In-na entered the quiet office.

The sun had already set for a long time, but no one had returned from work.

It’s not exactly.

And Seo In-na said to us like that.

“Everyone, come down to the conference room.”

“What’s wrong with the sword?”

Han Seong-min, impatient, asked.

Then Seo In-na looked at him with a strange expression.

And that gaze passed Han Sung-min and reached me.

“It was a big case. Do you remember the corpse that a police officer and Inspector Kang brought from the station?”

“Yeah…that’s it, what.”

“His identity has been determined.”

With the words of the team leader, the quest icon suddenly flashed.

And the text that popped up in the quest window was… again the main quest.

Last time, the quest that left only clues about the corpse of Majin was about to proceed again.
