Although he felt uncomfortable with Dokgo Jun’s attitude, it was not the time for Cheon Gu-nam to argue about it.
Even at this moment, my body was freezing and the snow was falling thicker.
He shouted urgently.
“Help me! Seo Kang-rim attacked me and I ran away… … .”
Cheon Gu-nam explained the situation in detail.
This is the story of how he got caught up in Seo Kang-rim’s scheme and ended up like this.
Dokgo Jun just listened to the story with an indifferent face.
He said it with a hint of disappointment.
“Hmm… … I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I think Cheon Gu-nam is too weak to be the main character.”
“……what?”
“If I were the main character, I should be able to overcome something like this without any problems. But I lost to Seo Kang-rim… … .”
Dokgo Jun said with a bright smile.
“Is the protagonist the type who hides his powers?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m the main character. So right now, help me… … .”
“If you’re the main character, you’ll figure out how to get out of there, right?”
“……what?”
Before he could say anything, Dokgo Jun took a step back.
Cheon Gu-nam shouted urgently when he saw that sight.
“No! No! I’m not the main character! So please help me!”
At those words, Dokgo Jun stopped and looked back.
As the snow fell, his eyes shone with a light colder than the frost.
“Aren’t you the main character?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“If you’re not the main character, why should I hire extras?”
“… … !”
Dokgo Jun had an insignificant expression on his face, as if he was looking down at a rock.
He soon started walking towards the snowfield with his hood pulled over his head.
I could hear Cheon Gu-nam shouting something, but it soon disappeared into the wind.
The snow quietly covered the magic mirror.
6. The fourth door
I felt hot blood splashing over my face.
A cow fell down, spraying blood into the air.
Even though ghosts were flocking from all sides, there was no fear.
Before I knew it, the surroundings became quiet.
Thanks to the ability of ‘Balgeom’, the ghosts were eliminated in an instant.
As I was wiping the blood off my sword and checking to see if anyone had survived, I heard a voice coming from the entrance.
“Brother Kangrim! I cleaned up this side too.”
“I did it all, bro.”
“You were just assisting from behind!”
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul were bickering as usual.
In the meantime, someone was seen approaching behind Yun Gyul-woo.
It was dark inside the magic mirror, so I couldn’t see the person’s face very well, but I could clearly see the person’s mouth opening.
“Where is Seo Kang-rim?”
When I heard that voice, I felt as if my soul was frozen.
A voice you can never forget.
It was Baek Young’s voice.
I tried to run towards Baekyoung.
But my feet wouldn’t move.
I looked down and saw dead ghosts holding onto my feet.
No, they were not the Sogwi but the Bihomun sect members.
[Why were you hiding behind?]
[I would have lived if it weren’t for you.]
[You killed us.]
Among the many faces, Yoo Ha-rang, Jang Tae-heon, and Kang Do-hyeon were seen.
They held my feet and wouldn’t let go.
As I was about to yell for him to let go, someone covered my mouth from behind and grabbed my neck.
Shin Soo-ah’s voice was heard.
[I didn’t bring you to this sect.]
I wanted to scream.
But the mouth did not move.
My whole body was tied up and I couldn’t even close my eyes.
-Crunch!
Meanwhile, Baek Young’s sword cut down Yun Bom and Yun Gyeo-ul.
The two people who had become corpses in an instant were staring into space with empty eyes.
No, he was looking at me.
The lips of the two people moved and their voices came out.
[Why didn’t you save me?]

[Why did you get involved with us when you have no power?]
It seemed as if voices were coming from all directions.
The dead whispered in my ears.
[Seo Kang-rim, you killed us.]
* * *
Seo Kang-rim opened his eyes, letting out a ragged breath.
His face was pale and bloodless.
Even as my two eyes were busy looking around, my heart was beating wildly.
It was only after a long time that he realized he was lying in his room.
‘Was it a dream?’
He sat up straight.
He was drenched in cold sweat, like someone drowning in water.
Seo Kang-rim stared into space while washing his face.
‘I had a bad dream.’
I have hardly ever had dreams since I became an adult.
A nightmare I haven’t had in a long time.
A normal person would have let it go, but Seo Kang-rim was serious.
‘Surely this isn’t a precognitive dream.’
Seo Kang-rim couldn’t help but feel anxious, knowing that his dream was in perfect alignment with hers.
I have experienced several instances where something similar, if not exactly the same, as in my dream happened.
‘The miracle has been quiet since childhood… … .’
He was thinking of Baekyeong, whom he had seen in his dream.
And I asked her again the question I had pondered hundreds of times since the day I met her.
‘Where could Baek-yeong be? Even the owner of the house, Shin Soo-ah, seemed to not know Baek-yeong.’
He had never seen Baekyeong, nor heard of her name.
A person with that level of skill would have become famous in no time.
Seo Kang-rim’s eyes shone coldly.
‘If someone is that strong, isn’t it possible that he is the messenger of the Fate Protectorate?’
The Fate Protection Agency kept much information confidential.
Also, since most of them had their faces covered, even if there were white people, it was highly likely that they would not have been recognized.
‘But there is no evidence. It’s just my hypothesis.’
As of now, there was so much I didn’t know.
Just then, he tried to recall his memories once again.
-dripping
I heard someone knocking.
As he opened the door and came out, there were now quite familiar faces standing before him.
“Hyung Kang-rim, are you awake?”
“Brother Kangrim, did you sleep well?”
The people standing in front of the door were Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul.
Contrary to the dream, both of their faces were normal.
Yoon Bom looked at Seo Kang Rim’s face and said in surprise.
“Did I wake you up from your sleep? I’m, I’m sorry… …!”
“No. But why did you come?”
“That’s… … . I want to go hunting with Gangrim oppa!”
Yoon Bom said that and smiled shyly.
His eyes were sparkling with goodwill towards Seo Kang-rim.
They weren’t on bad terms to begin with, but after saving Yun Gyul-woo, the two of them started to show a very friendly attitude towards Seo Kang-rim.
“Ah, Mr. Seo Kang-rim!”
While they were talking in the hallway, a few people passing by approached Seo Kang-rim and spoke to him.
In their previous lives, they were people who were busy ignoring and passing by Seo Kang-rim.
“Mr. Kangrim, I heard the story! You said you saved Yun Gyul-woo yesterday?”
“That’s right! Brother Kang-rim saved me!”
Yoon Bom had a happy expression on her face, as if she had been praised.
Yun Gyul-woo nodded and said.
“I really thought I was going to die. If it weren’t for Kang-rim hyung, I really would have… … .”
As she said that, Yun Gyul-wool looked up at Seo Kang-rim, her face filled with gratitude.
Seo Kang-rim said, avoiding eye contact.
“I found it by chance.”
“Mr. Kang-rim, you’re so humble! You should be prouder! You saved someone.”
“That’s right. Oh my, Han Bing’s Demonic Realm seems really dangerous in many ways. That guy isn’t coming back either… … .”
Seo Kang-rim, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, opened his mouth.
“That guy?”
“That’s what Mr. Cheon Gu-nam said.”
People’s faces darkened at Cheon Gu-nam’s story.
People lowered their voices and whispered.
“You haven’t come back for two days already? What on earth happened…?”
“Oh, I’ll be right back! There might be a rest area… … .”
While listening to that story, Seo Kang-rim’s expression did not change.
As if he already knew this would happen.
‘I guess he’s dead after all.’
Seo Kang-rim released Cheon Gu-nam yesterday without killing him.
Because the aura of death was already emanating from him.
[The killing aura from Cheon Gu-nam becomes stronger!]
Unlike his previous life, murder began to creep into Cheon Gu-nam’s fate.
It was a powerful ghost attack, just like the Baekho attack.
‘It’s been like that since I got entangled with Dokgo Jun.’
Cheon Gu-nam’s fate began to take shape when Dokgo Jun started showing interest in him.
Two people with the worst fortune-telling compatibility.
And with that, bad luck began to fall on Cheon Gu-nam’s fate.
[Because of Dokgo Jun, Cheon Gu-nam begins to show a tendency to overestimate himself and self-destruct.]
[He loses his judgment and jumps into a pit of fire, but there is no noble person around to save him.]
If he hadn’t mistaken himself as the main character and had stopped, he might have lived.
But he was intoxicated with vain strength and could not wake up.
‘There was nothing worth stealing from Cheon Gu-nam’s abilities or talents, so there was no need to go look for his body.’
While Seo Kang-rim was thinking like that, people were still worried about Cheon Gu-nam.
One person let out a short sigh.
“Whew, I told you this place is really dangerous. Then, Kangrim, you too, be careful.”
After saying that, the people left.
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyeo-wool still remained by Seo Kang-rim’s side.
He glanced at the two of them and asked.
“Why don’t you guys go?”
“I want to go hunting with my brother!”
Seo Kang-rim did not answer.
As he made a reluctant expression, Yoon Bom spoke with a slightly pleading tone.
“The fourth magic realm has opened. Sister Su-ah will be going with me, but I wish you could come with me too… … .”
Last time, when we rescued Yun Gyul-wool, Shin Soo-ah also helped, so they became close.
It was a very good situation for Seo Kang-rim.
‘That’s good. If you and Shin Soo Ah become close, you’ll be able to enter the secret room without a hitch.’
However, he himself did not want to get entangled with Shin Soo-ah as much as possible.
It seemed like the three of them would become closer if he left.
“I have something else to do. You guys go.”
“Brother, you don’t hate us, do you… …?”
“It’s not that I particularly hate it. I just have something to do right now.”
The two looked regretful, but eventually nodded.
Seo Kang-rim closed the door, leaving the twins behind, who had been looking back several times while leaving.
‘Because I really do have other things to do.’
He opened the sink and took out an item from inside.
It was an item obtained as a special reward from Han Bing Magic.
An item that appears to be nothing special at first glance.
However, among the trainees, only Seo Kang-rim knew how valuable this item was.
[This item cannot be graded!]
