[Use the item ‘Gangneung Drop’!]
[The effect is strengthened due to the influence of the Ox Hour!]
The spirit drop was an item that could summon the spirit of the dead.
There are many restrictions on calling the spirits, but due to the influence of the auspicious hour, calling them became much easier.
[Call out the name of the soul you wish to summon!]
There were many dead people I wanted to call, but there was one person I needed to meet most urgently.
When I called the person’s name three times, the bell started vibrating like crazy.
I could feel the magic power in the room stirring.
[The soul is summoned according to the command of ‘Seo Kang-rim’!]
* * *
At some point she could notice that her surroundings had brightened.
The scorching heat of hell was fading away, and the unique smell of this world was beginning to waft in.
The physical energy that surrounds one’s soul.
Also, there was a face sitting in front of him that he had seen before.
“Seo, Kangrim… … ?”
She made a sound through her body for the first time in a long time.
No, to be exact, it wasn’t his own body.
Seo Kang-rim looked at the spirit in front of him and said.
“The clown band Cheon Yeo-ul, right?”
“… … Yes. I didn’t know you’d see it like this, right?”
The soul that Seo Kang-rim possessed was the clown, Cheon Yeo-ul, who died in the flower garden of Seocheon.
Cheon Yeo-ul said with a faint hint of hostility.
“I didn’t know you would call me. How did you do it? And why… … .”
The small rabbit doll in front of him wiggled.
“Why did you send me to a place like this!”
Currently, Cheon Yeo-ul’s soul was possessed by a doll.
And it was all wrapped up and tied up tightly.
Seo Kang-rim was looking down at the doll while holding a knife.
“There’s no place to specifically do it. It’s the same for my body, right?”
“But still! What the heck is this? The voice is strange too… …!”
A voice was coming out through a speaker built into the toy.
It was a pretty funny voice, once it was altered.
Seo Kang-rim opened his mouth, ignoring the squeaking Cheon Yeo-ul.
“I had a lot to ask you, but it was difficult because you died. That’s why I sent you away.”
“… … I don’t really want to answer that.”
Cheon Yeo-ul turned her head sharply.
Then, as if he was bouncing off the air, he spoke in a playful voice.
“If you let me go, maybe I’ll change my mind?”
“I’ll be annoyed if you run away.”
“I’m already dead, and I have nothing to lose. I have no reason to cooperate with you.”
She still maintained her shameless attitude.
If it had been incarnated into a human body, it would have made all sorts of strange facial expressions.
“Even if you torture me, my body won’t hurt. I have nothing to lose. If you let me go and teach me properly, I might be able to help you.”
As Cheon Yeo-ul said, there was nothing to gain or lose from someone who was already dead.
Seeing that reaction, Seo Kang-rim reacted as if he had expected it to happen.
“Shouldn’t we be grateful just for saving us from the fires of hell?”
“Oh, the hellish brimstone is hot. It’s pretty comfortable, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. I didn’t think you’d tell me so easily.”
Cheon Yeo-ul smiled faintly at Seo Kang-rim’s reaction.
She continued speaking calmly.
“I see you understand now. Okay, then let’s solve this first… … . Huh?”
At that moment, Cheon Yeo-ul twisted her body as if in pain.
Even though it’s a doll and can’t feel pain.
Seo Kang-rim’s voice began to pierce her soul like a knife.
“Cheon Yeo-ul, stop talking nonsense and answer my questions honestly.”
[The ability ‘Voice of Brainwashing’ is activated!]
The power stolen from Yoo Seon-min, ‘the voice of brainwashing’.
This ability was applied to both the living and the dead.
As Seo Kang-rim’s voice seeped into her soul, Cheon Yeo-ul began to groan in pain.
“Ugh, ugh… … ! Do, do you think I’ll give in… … !”
“I didn’t know it would work the first time.”
Because Cheon Yeo-ul had a high fate level, she was not immediately brainwashed.
But Seo Kang-rim wasn’t that impatient.
“If you keep brainwashing them, they’ll soon open their mouths.”
The dawn is long, and even if it is not today, there is tomorrow.
It was clear that if she continued to be brainwashed repeatedly, Cheon Yeo-ul’s mind would eventually collapse.
Cheon Yeo-ul also knew that fact, so she could no longer show off, and instead swore.

“This, this shameless… … !”
“Yes. I am shameless. Obey my orders, Cheon Yeo-ul.”
“Ugh, who would obey… … Kkaaaang!”
[The ability ‘Voice of Brainwashing’ is activated!]
[The spirit of ‘Cheon Yeo-ul’ begins to erode!]
Every time the ‘Voice of Brainwashing’ was activated, the doll screamed.
Because the room was so soundproof, the screams couldn’t get outside.
[The ability ‘Voice of Brainwashing’ is activated!]
So, after the cuckoo hour, the hour of death, and the hour of death, it became the hour of death.
The rabbit doll lay limp as if dead.
Seo Kang-rim’s voice was heard through the pale dawn.
“Stand up.”
When Seo Kang-rim’s words were heard, the doll somehow managed to get up from its tightly tied state.
When he untied the string, he jumped up and stood at attention.
He was quiet and showed no signs of running away.
“Sit down.”
“yes!”
“Roll.”
“Yep!”
“Bark.”
“Woof woof!”
The doll was following commands like a well-trained dog.
Seo Kang-rim said after blocking the rolling doll with his hand.
“Cheon Yeo-ul, answer my questions honestly.”
“Yes, Master! Speak!”
[Brainwashing is complete!]
Cheon Yeo-ul, who had been rebelling all night, eventually gave in.
Now, no matter what I asked, I could get information that Cheon Yeo-ul already knew.
There were many things I wanted to ask, but there was one thing that concerned me the most.
“You said that you were trying to destroy the research center in order to suppress the power of the gods in the Seocheon Flower Garden.”
“yes that’s right.”
“Is that the context in which you commit terrorism?”
As Seo Kang-rim watched the clown’s actions, he felt that something was inconsistent.
Cheon Yeo-ul clearly said that the clown group was trying to break the power of the gods for the sake of humans.
But it was a contradictory act to commit terrorism and kill people.
At Seo Kang-rim’s question, the rabbit doll jumped up and screamed.
“We also feel wronged about that part! It’s not us who are committing terrorism, it’s other guys who are impersonating us!”
Seo Kang-rim was listening to Cheon Yeo-ul’s story calmly.
There was no sign of surprise at all.
The fact that there was a fake clown was already a situation that was understandable enough.
The masks concealed their identities, but they also made it easy to forge them.
If he showed up wearing a mask and claimed to be a clown, everyone would have no choice but to believe him.
“Then do you know anything about the identity of the fake clown?”
“that…….”
Cheon Yeo-ul hesitated for a moment before confessing what she knew about the fake clown.
Seo Kang-rim’s brow furrowed while listening to the story.
It was something I had expected to some extent, but when I actually heard it, my mood got even worse.
What is certain is that the fake clown is Seo Kang-rim’s enemy.
He couldn’t just leave alone those who were after his blood and those who were after his comrades.
Seo Kang-rim thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“You didn’t want to kill me. Why?”
“It was an order from our leader, Mogabi. He said not to harm Seo Kang-rim even if we encounter him.”
“What is Mogabi’s true identity?”
“I don’t know about that. We only met while wearing masks… … .”
The rabbit doll had a puzzled face.
Since I was brainwashed, it couldn’t have been a lie.
Seo Kang-rim continued asking questions quietly.
“Then how can I contact the clown’s residence or other clowns?”
“Our residence changes every time. Oh, after the mission at the Seocheon Flower Garden is over, I was planning to join the mission at the Messiah Monastery.”
Messiah Monastery?
As he tried to remember the name, which sounded familiar, Seo Kang-rim suddenly remembered where it came from.
It was the place where Father John belonged.
“We’re also tracking down fake clowns. We’ve detected some suspicious activity on the monastery side, so we’re going to investigate that.”
It seemed like the fake clown was trying to mess with the people around John this time.
If you went there, you would be able to meet a clown, whether fake or real.
I asked her a few more questions, but Cheon Yeo-ul didn’t seem to know anything more.
“Okay, I understand. Let’s go back for now.”
“Yes, Master! Call me anytime!”
After Seo Kang-rim sent the soul back, he put the doll deep inside a drawer.
It’s the Messiah Monastery.
When they first left the training facility, Seo Kang-rim had asked about Yohan’s affiliation.
[Do you plan to return to your monastery now, Father John?]
After the Day of Awakening, each religion gained immense influence.
Instead of forming sects or companies, clergy tended to work within their own religion.
As a priest of God, John should have naturally returned to the organization he belonged to.
But John did not return.
[That, that… … If it’s okay, can I work with Brother Seo Kang-rim? My guardian angel said it would be good for the time being… … .]
John tried to cover it up, but it still felt like a lie.
That would be the case, because even before his return, he had not returned to the monastery and instead immersed himself in Dokgo Jun’s sect.
There were even rumors that he had been excommunicated.
‘I think I should go and talk to Father John first. And… … .’
Seo Kang-rim looked at the spirit drop still in his hand.
An important item that can summon dead people.
There were many names I wanted to call it, but since the Gangneung bell was a consumable item, I couldn’t use it carelessly.
After much thought, he shook the bell and quietly called out someone’s name.
“Seo Hwa-gyeong, Seo Hwa-gyeong, Seo Hwa-gyeong.”
It was the name of a master who died many years ago.
I wanted to meet Seo Hwa-kyung, but I wanted to solve my questions more.
Seo Hwa-gyeong died leaving behind a will that said, “Of the fates I can choose, I choose the best path.”
I thought it was suicide, but Baek Young appeared nearby a few days before Seo Hwa Kyung died.
In that case, it is highly likely that he was murdered by Baek Young rather than committing suicide, but the will written there was inconsistent.
‘If the program succeeds, we will know exactly what happened.’
Seo Kang-rim called Seo Hwa-kyung’s name three times.
Then, immediately, the bell of the river began to tremble low.
