370. Temple (2)
‘This is ominous.’
Kim Joo-hee had her fortune told.
It’s not something you can do every day.
Her fortune telling was something that could be done once a year at best, or once every three or four years at worst, when her senses and timing were right.
Because I am neither a professional fortune teller nor a prophet.
Anyway, today was that day.
With her back buried in her office chair, Kim Joo-hee looked at the card in front of her.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
Where there is shadow, there is light.
Since I turned around, I am still.
Walk forward and go backward.
The meaning of the divination was ambiguous.
If we interpret it, it means that bad luck and good luck are together.
smart.
“Something has arrived that you need to check.”
While I was lost in thought for a moment, my subordinate knocked on the door and said.
The black market was now operating in a systematic manner.
Thanks to this, most of the work was done by the employees.
But not everything could be like that.
There are many moments throughout the day when her insight is needed.
‘I need to develop my emotions more.’
It’s a time when even ten bodies are not enough.
Kim Joo-hee swept the desk with her hand and threw the card into the trash can.
A divination card that has been used once cannot be used twice.
Because the negativity was burning, I had to throw away the card I had used.
She decided not to pay much attention to the horoscope.
‘Because not all horoscopes are correct.’
The point is that it has to be full of timing and feeling. In a case like today, it was about half and half.
No, it was a bit of a strange horoscope.
Half of it speaks of danger.
The other half contained rays of light shining into the midst of danger.
It’s dangerous, but it’s not dangerous.
It was a sh*t horoscope.
Kim Joo-hee knows that not all of her points are correct.
Sometimes, it’s not even as good as the tarot cards you see on the street.
She decided to ignore today’s point and answered.
“Yes, got it.”
Soon she got up and went out.
Items classified as special in the logistics warehouse are then gathered into a tightly secured warehouse.
As we arrived there, the armed man in front bowed his head.
After that, several gears installed by Kim Joo-hee herself were activated.
It was a place protected by science and magic.
It was only natural, as it was a place full of goods that would attract the super rich of the black market.
The so-called super rich are those who spend billions of won on even a small amulet.
I heard that these days, amulets are more popular than sports cars.
A small amulet the size of a pinky fingernail that is attached to the inside of an expensive watch is especially popular.
The utility of a talisman is only one: ‘protection’.
An expensive product that instantly creates several layers of curtains.
The only one who could make it was Kim Joo-hee, not the four major alliances.
Because it’s not common to find someone with that level of skill and vision.
Thanks to that, I’m saving up money these days.
“What is it?”
After passing through all security systems.
From iris recognition to shape-shifter checks, everything is done.
The inside of the security warehouse was deserted.
It was originally a place where only a few expensive items were stored.
“Yes, the appraiser is currently checking the item.”
The secretary said.
Hearing those words, I took two steps inside.
Kim Joo-hee stopped walking. An ominous intuition disturbed the magician’s senses.
“Take it.”
There was a person inside.
No, there used to be a person.
The secretary and employee frowned and let out a short groan.
Kim Joo-hee snapped her fingers as she spoke.
She is one of the world’s leading spell creators.
That doesn’t mean he had no spell-using talent at all.

A bracelet-shaped gear worn on the left wrist is activated.
Ji-ing.
It was a type of gear that would immediately activate a defensive spell if someone attacked.
“Boss, this is… … .”
The secretary was rarely flustered.
What kind of place is this? Even the most severe curses can’t be activated.
This is a place where spell defenses are put in place in various forms. It is a place where so much effort is put into it that even if a cursed object enters, it won’t even activate.
But then I saw bubbles popping on the skin of the appraiser who was checking the items.
The cheeks become saggy and sag, and the entire skin turns a greenish yellow color.
“Grill.”
Kim Joo-hee said.
It’s a cannibalistic monster.
It was also a creature created by a fallen spellcaster.
Turn people into monsters in an instant?
Such an item could not have been common.
Above all, it is rare to break through this place that you have created yourself.
An item that activates by penetrating dozens of layers of protective spells and curse-removing gear.
In Kim Joo-hee’s knowledge, there was only one such thing.
An item imbued with an ancient curse.
“You’re crazy.”
She finished her guess and stuck out her tongue.
Items containing ancient curses do not appear unless they are of the level of the four major alliances.
Therefore, the fact that something like this came out means that they were targeting this place.
“Everyone get out. This warehouse is sealed.”
“yes!”
The secretary quickly ran back.
I have taught you well in the past.
If anything happens, take care of yourself first.
‘Still, I need to take care of it too.’
I feel secretly sad.
Of course, she doesn’t collapse all at once from a curse of this magnitude.
It wasn’t a problem just to buy time.
Parsac.
The bracelet on her right wrist crumbled into dust.
“… … It’s not good.”
Curses are divided into several grades according to their intensity.
Starting from 5th grade, up to 1st grade and special grade.
Among them, the ancient curse, the curse that seemed to have sprung from the pyramid, was out of standard.
A curse of an out-of-spec grade.
Her cursed protective gear began to crumble, drying up and falling to pieces like a wet newspaper.
Soon blue spots began to appear on the back of my right hand.
The ancient curse, ‘The Temptation of Cannibalism’.
After the emotional ghoul turned into a ghoul, the top of a small iron box was torn off.
It is the embodiment of a curse. It is a process of exercising a kind of physical force.
This is a strange phenomenon that can be seen from the special curse.
The figure was visible inside the torn iron box.
A grotesque, gaunt forearm and finger were visible, reduced to nothing but skin and bone.
His fingers were unusually long and his skin was blue.
It is a collection of curses that contain the temptation of cannibalism.
“Kururur.”
The emotional man who had turned into a ghoul lowered his posture. He looked like he was about to jump in at once.
Exactly!
Kim Joo-hee snapped her fingers with her left hand.
The bracelet activates and casts several layers of protective spells in reverse.
Soon the protective spell became a prison spell, enveloping one of the ghouls.
“Kueeeee!”
The bastard flailed his body.
“president!”
The secretary shouts from behind.
“Hye-min, call me. It will only take a day at most.”
Kim Joo-hee answered while looking at her changed right hand.
From now on, she will stop the curse. But she won’t be able to hold out for long.
But we can’t just leave it like that.
If left alone, everyone living in this area will turn into ghouls.
The ancient curse is such a weapon.
It was a forbidden spell that should not be used.
“The sooner the better.”
Kim Joo-hee said, pushing the bottom of the security warehouse door with her foot.
Squeak.
The door closes.
“Yes, definitely!”
The secretary shouted through the crack in the door.
Empty.
Kim Joo-hee closed the door and sat down, slowly catching her breath.
From now on, it was a race against time.
If you endure the curse without being eaten, Hye-min will come.
I just have to hold out until my daughter comes.
At the same time, two thoughts occurred to her.
One was that if you made a curse protection talisman, it would sell like hotcakes.
The two thought that if he had prepared to this extent and was willing to use magic, Hye-min would not have left him alone.
Kang Hye-min realized that she was trapped in a strange trick only after walking around the same alley for the third time.
‘Is it true?’
Although she is a spell user who can solve everything with intuition, she also needs knowledge.
There were many things I learned under the pressure of my mother.
Studying is for Gwangik.
Magic to the mother.
Her daily life was a continuation of learning.
Because I was so engrossed in magic, it was inevitable that I fell behind in my studies.
‘What should I call an excuse?’
If Gwangik heard that, he would definitely say that.
He is such a cruel person to himself.
‘You treat other women so well, don’t you?’
He is especially kind to women whom he meets as enemies.
It was the same even after I caught the most handsome guy.
“There’s no need for torture. I can just talk.”
The gentleman was kidnapped.
Hye-min looked for Jin’s weaknesses while having random thoughts.
To her, something magical is a question with an obvious answer.
The problem comes next.
Hye-min is not stupid.
Even he himself does not stop himself with just a spell.
Then what should we do?
‘A force led by the Transformers.’
If not, then.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to send an immortal force.’
If not that too.
‘Binding feet using special superpowers.’
Nothing will be easy at all.
He was targeting her. That much was clear. Hye-min took a deep breath and prepared for the fight.
The battle was a done deal, and I was going to use what I considered to be the pinnacle of my personal tactics without even asking who would show up.
‘The first strike wins.’
In front of her, all preparations done.
At the end of the alley, streetlights blinked and flickered. A middle-aged man in a suit walked out through the blinking lights.
His face was clean, as if he had just shaved.
The same goes for clothing.
He wore a smart suit, matching Oxford shoes and a tie.
He walked out slowly, looked at Hye-min, and took a deep breath.
There were complex emotions in that breath.
“It’s been a while.”
He said. Hye-min, who had prepared to win first, stopped her hands because of a strange feeling.
“who?”
“Your mother didn’t even show me her face. What a shame.”
The man spoke and smiled bitterly.
He showed no intention of attacking her. He had no hidden supernatural powers or spells.
There was no sign of troops.
“Hye-min, it’s me.”
The man speaks. Hye-min felt an ominous feeling spread throughout her body.
I feel like I shouldn’t hear the answer.
“It’s Dad.”
If it was a surprise attack, then it was a surprise attack.
Above all, a surprise attack is effective.
It was a bloody attack, not a brute force attack.
Kang Hye-min put her hand down instead of attacking.
“dad?”
I’ve been curious since I was little. What kind of person is my father?
Is what mother said all that father said?
딸을 버리고 단체를 택한 비정한 인간, 개새끼, 쓰레기.
The man my mother had called trash was standing before my eyes.
“Can we talk?”
My father said.
“Se Choi-teuk must take responsibility for his actions.”
In the middle of COEX, a man with a bomb wrapped around his body shouts.
“NS’s existence will destroy humanity!”
There was even a man screaming in the middle of an amusement park.
He held a stamp bomb in each hand.
This is a spell bomb that is activated by order.
It is a special war relic that, when it explodes, drives everyone around it into a state of shock.
Forbidden objects and forbidden substances were popping up everywhere.
“I’ll be in control of this plane from now on. If you have any complaints, just get off.”
Hijack the plane.
Hijack the train.
They were shouting out for the special forces from all directions. It seemed like all the terrorists from Prometheus had gathered in Seoul.
An explosion occurs.
“Gyaaaaaaah!”
People are screaming incessantly.
A black hole opens up between the explosions that occur during this time.
It was also Prometheus who opened that hole.
This is the hole accelerator they developed.
“I ask you, Se-Choi-Teuk! Was what you did truly for the good of humanity?”
Shout out the special phrase “Seochoi-teuk” in the center of Gwanghwamun.
It was chaos. It seemed like the end had come to the citizens of Seoul.
The one who reported all of this in real time was not the leader of Prometheus, but his subordinate.
‘It’s a success.’
The terrorist attack against Seoul was planned for nearly a year.
They hid people and planted them everywhere.
Of course, there are many who were caught by the police or government in the middle and went to prison or died.
But there were many who held on just as long.
It’s always easier to attack than to defend.
Prometheus risked his life on this task.
I poured my all into it.
The leader himself also stepped forward.
‘It’s all for one last move.’
The chief was clever. He burned all this for one purpose.
For that, the time of the terrorist attack had to be announced in an instant.
The subordinate did so.
And if the tail was long, it would get stepped on.
“It’s you.”
An armed immortal stood before his eyes.
He is a man who is called a hero of the first generation.
“Nammyeongjin.”
“Is the old monster still alive?”
There was an old grudge between the two.
Because they were both enemies in the first generation.
“If you’re the leader of Prometheus, then you should be at least as good as him.”
The subordinate chuckled at those words.
He didn’t care if his position was discovered.
All of this is to bring light to humanity.
Anything that blocks it is an obstacle. Just remove it and that’s it.
“You’re wrong. Nam Myeong-jin.”
“what?”
“I only need one of his arms.”
Nam Myeong-jin frowned.
Who is this author?
Among the first generation of Transformers, there were few who did not know this man’s name.
Come on, snow leopard.
A man who transforms into a snow leopard and killed the most invaders during the first generation.
“Just die or get caught. If you cause an accident, you have to take responsibility. That’s what an adult should do, right?”
Nam Myeong-jin did not express his surprise. Hiding one’s true feelings is an immortal’s specialty. Nam Myeong-jin was a human who could hide his true feelings better than most immortals.
“Yes. I must offer you as a sacrifice to the temple.”
“They say that a madman’s medicine is a whip.”
Wood crunch.
Soon, white hair grew all over Dawa’s body, with black spots appearing here and there.
It took an instant for me to transform into a transformer.
That’s the moment he transforms.
A net with an electric current fell over his head.
It’s a timing that no one can react to.
“You didn’t really believe I came alone, did you?”
Nam Myeong-jin said with his arms crossed.
After that, Jeong Ho-nam approached.
“The outside is also being cleaned up.”
“Well done, Vice President.”
Jeong Ho-nam has become vice president in no time.
Electricity flows through the snow leopard’s entire body.
Phage, phage, phage!
“Kurrrrrrrr!”
He bared his fangs fiercely.
Soon his body floats above the net with electricity flowing through it.
“… … The podium has gotten better since I last saw it.”
Even though its entire body was covered in black fur, the snow leopard was still tearing at the net with its claws.
