Chapter 1339

<Episode 1339> 1339. Ghost Romance

[Day 4 Checkpoint has been saved.]

I sighed after confirming the familiar notification window. The chilling cold that froze my body still lingered.

To calm myself, I began to fondle Yoo Sem’s breasts lying next to me. Her large bosom changed shape under my hands.

“Uuung…”

Yoo Sem let out a moan. As I continued teasing her, I thought about Seol Ji-young.

Seol Ji-young had completely fallen for Snow Girl at this point.

Maybe starting all over again would be better. Changing the heroine conquest order to Seol Ji-young. But what if that doesn’t work either?

‘…Maybe Seol Ji-young was already on Team Snow Girl from the start. I only kissed her initially and then died.’

Regress.

Sure, it sounds good, but it’s like erasing everything I’ve done so far. And there’s no guarantee the result after regressing will be better than before.

‘And Seol Ji-young’s power is unexpected. Even after exorcising several ghosts and lowering the ghost energy level, she still possessed enough strength to kill me instantly.’

I couldn’t resist her at all.

Right now, I’d die the moment I face Seol Ji-young.

First things first—I need to survive if I’m going to seduce or do anything with Seol Ji-young.

‘Should I exterminate all the ghosts in this area and lower the ghost energy levels to their limit? At least then I wouldn’t freeze to death when facing Seol Ji-young.’

I thought about the ghosts remaining in this neighborhood. There are five left. Can eliminating these five drastically reduce the ghost energy?

‘…Five won’t be enough. I’ll have to find and exorcise ghosts that didn’t appear in the original story.’

Where can I get information on unknown ghosts?

Shin Oh-jung.

He excels in gathering information, so his help would be invaluable.

“Jina…”

Yoo Sem had awakened by now. Naturally, I burrowed into her embrace. Spreading her thighs, I positioned my erect member at her wet entrance. My hand slid into her armpit as I began kissing her neck and initiated penetration.

“Aaah! Ah!”

Listening to Yoo Sem’s sweet cries, I formulated my plan.

Seol Ji-young is searching for me. Her goal: to freeze me to death. So, I must avoid her at all costs.

‘By afternoon, she’ll come to the motel and try to freeze me. She probably used minor ghosts to track me down.’

Minor ghosts are unintelligent. In other words, as long as I keep moving, they won’t be able to find me.

‘And any minor ghosts I encounter should just be killed on sight.’

Now that the plan is set, it’s time to put it into action.

‘But first, let’s finish this sex session.’

“Ahhhhhaaaang!”

Yoo Sem went off to school, and I headed to Ji Da-hye’s house. Ji Da-hye waited patiently, bound and tied. However, her location had changed—it wasn’t her room but the living room. Her parents lay slumped beside the couch.

“Senior Jina! You’re here! I’ve been waiting!”

“Ahhh, Da-hye.”


“Whoa, hold on a sec. I just stopped by for now… I wish I could stay with you longer, but things got a little messy.”

“It’s okay. I can wait for my senior forever.”

Ji Dahye made a cute sound while pulling her legs together, her tightly clenched womanhood naturally facing my direction. With such temptation, I couldn’t sit still. Grabbing my manhood, I thrust into Ji Dahye.

After doing Ji Dahye and achieving my original purpose…

The car.

The high-end sedan driven by Ji Dahye’s father was the target.

“If I have a car, I can move quickly.”

Mobility secured.

Next, I sent a text to Shin Ohjeong. Even though it was class time, Shin Ohjeong replied right away.

Sung Yoojin: Trying to exorcise a ghost. Any info on ghosts?

Shin Ohjeong: Heh heh. As expected from you. I already suspected you’d be into this. I’ve actually been gathering info on ghosts.

Sung Yoojin: Tell me everything you know.

Shin Ohjeong: Hmm…

Sung Yoojin: Why?

Shin Ohjeong: There’s just too much info. I’m not sure where to start. These days, ghosts are running rampant. There might be something dangerous lurking.

Sung Yoojin: Whatever the danger is, I’ll banish it all. Info on ghosts?

Shin Ohjeong: You heard of the Tall Man? A ghost that kidnaps children playing at the playground.

Sung Yoojin: I know about him. I’m on my way to exorcise him right now.

Shin Ohjeong: Wow! Truly the Exorcist of Justice…! You move fast!

KWAANG!

The car hit something. While driving with one hand holding my smartphone, I glanced to the side. A suit-wearing tall man lay twitching on the ground. I turned the steering wheel and drove over him.

『†You successfully hit-and-ran the Tall Man.』

『†Your merciless ghost-banishing hit-and-run has struck fear into the hearts of ghosts.』

『†The Tall Man, with all his bones broken, has become the Thin Man.』

『†The local ghostly energy has decreased.』

Sung Yoojin: Tall Man exorcism complete.

Shin Ohjeong: Already?! Truly the great Exorcist of Justice!

Sung Yoojin: Stop calling me that.

Sung Yoojin: Any other ghost info?

Shin Ohjeong: Heard of a Ghoul? Similar to a zombie but different…

Sung Yoojin: The one that eats corpses, right?

Shin Ohjeong: You seem to know. Makes things easier. There’s been a report of a ghoul seen on the back mountain eating a deer corpse.

Sung Yoojin: Where do you get such info?

Shin Ohjeong: From a mystery café site. Mysterious stories often pop up there. It’s one of my information-gathering sites.

Sung Yoojin: Location of the Ghoul?

Shin Ohjeong: Behind the public restroom, they say… But I don’t know the exact spot.

Sung Yoojin: Okay. Heading to the back mountain now.

Shin Ohjeong: They say ghouls hide in the ground during the day. Even if you go now, you won’t be able to exorcise the ghoul.

Sung Yoojin: Digging will bring it out.

I pressed the accelerator.

What I trusted wasn’t anything else. I can see and feel ghostly energy. Even if it hides underground, it can’t completely conceal its ghostly energy. If I know the rough location, I can find the ghoul.

“I sense ghostly energy…”

With the shovel I brought along, I dug into the ground. The ghoul was crouching beneath. The pale corpse-like ghoul raised its head. I smashed its skull with my exorcism staff.

BAM!

I don’t know the method to exorcise ghouls. But I have my righteous exorcism staff.

“Ghosts die when hit too.”

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The ghoul curled up in the hole had no choice but to take my attacks one-sidedly. Its weakened state due to the daylight also played a role.

『†You shattered the ghoul’s skull!』

『†Your consecutive exorcisms have caused the ghosts to not only fear but also rage uncontrollably!』

『†The foolish ghoul, with its skull broken, has become even more foolish!』

『†The local ghostly energy has decreased.』

Sung Yoojin: Ghoul


Exorcism complete.

Shin O-jeong: “To exorcise a ghoul in less than 30 minutes… Incredible.”

Shin O-jeong: “Next, we have the Curse of the Death Phone. In a deserted alley, there’s an old payphone. At 2 AM, it rings. If you pick it up, you’ll die cursed.”

Sung Yoo-jin: “2 AM? I don’t have time to wait that long. Any other ghosts?”

Shin O-jeong: “Don’t rush so much! There’s more info about this one.”

Sung Yoo-jin: “What kind of info?”

Shin O-jeong: “You can call a ghost on a specific number.”

Shin O-jeong: “Dial #666-4444 and the ghost of the payphone will answer. Of course, contacting it still curses you to death.”

Shin O-jeong: “But how do we exorcise the payphone ghost?”

Sung Yoo-jin: “No idea. Maybe just smash the phone?”

Shin O-jeong: “There’s no way such a crude method would work…”

Shin O-jeong: “I think we need a proper exorcism ritual. Like a shamanistic ceremony or something.”

Shin O-jeong: “Yukdanbang. Are you watching?”

Shin O-jeong: “You must be watching.”

Shin O-jeong: “Please stop reading nonsense out loud.”

Following Shin O-jeong’s directions, I found the cursed payphone.

I immediately dialed #666-4444 as instructed. After four rings, there was a click, and the ghost answered.

*Heheheheheh. Hehehehe.*

“You f**king bastard. Laughing like some bad omen, huh?”

*SQUEEEEEAAAAAAL! KREEEEEEEAAAK! WAAAAHHHHH!*

“Can you hear the screams of hell? That’s the sound of the spirits you’ve tormented crying out!”

*Sung Yoo-jin.*

“You will die.”

“And it will be excruciating.”

*Hihihihihihihihi!*

“F**k you! Are you in hell? My mom says F**K YOU too! Just because you’re in hell doesn’t mean I can’t come get you! I’ll go to hell and personally kill your sorry ass! And while I’m at it, I’ll take out your whole family! F**KING ASSHOLES!!”

*BAM! BAM! CRASHCRASHCRASH!*

Unable to contain my rage against this arrogant little ghost, I smashed the payphone with my demon-slaying staff.

*GURGLEURGH!!!*

“Tell all your little friends in hell this: The moment I arrive, I’ll rip each and every one of you apart! You bastards better pray to Buddha that I get to hell as late as possible! Do you hear me?! Why aren’t you answering?! Answer me, you piece of s**t!”

*CRASHCRASHCRASHCRASHCRASH!*

*GURRGGHHHHH…*

『†You have successfully exorcised the Payphone Ghost!』

『†The ghosts of hell are praying to Buddha for your delayed arrival in hell!』

『†The Payphone Ghost is currently being beaten by the ghosts of hell for provoking you!』

『†The regional ghost density has decreased.』

Looking at the destroyed phone booth, I pulled out my smartphone.

Sung Yoo-jin: “Payphone ghost exorcised.”

Shin O-jeong: “Whoa… That was quick.”

Shin O-jeong: “Next ghost…”

By sunset, I’d dealt with 13 ghosts based on Shin O-jeong’s intel. I was starting to feel pretty drained.

Maybe it was time to stop for now, but thinking about Seol Ji-young’s strength, I realized this wasn’t enough yet.

Sung Yoo-jin: “Small fries are done. Anything bigger?”

Shin O-jeong: “Two left. One isn’t even related to this town though…”

Sung Yoo-jin: “Tell me both. It might help.”

Shin O-jeong: “One is the Hyakki Yagyō. You’ve probably heard of it a few times. Or wait, since you’re an exorcist, maybe you know more than me?”

Sung Yoo-jin: “Only vaguely. But Hyakki Yagyō happening in Korea?”

Shin O-jeong: “Not exactly. It was spotted in Japan. Some fisherman said he saw a Hyakki Yagyō heading towards Korea earlier today. Honestly, it sounds dubious. Why would Japanese spirits come here anyway?”

In the original story, there was zero mention of the Hyakki Yagyō. Ignoring it completely, I kept tapping on my smartphone.

Sung Yoo-jin: “Any other info?”

Shin O-jeong: “Do you know about Nuri Hospital?”
