บท 79: The Hungry Mansion (3)
Something clawed at the bumper of the car with blade-sharp claws.
Judging by the spacing and size, it does not appear to be humanoid.
A beast with large paws.
Among the animals found in the wild in Korea, there is no animal that can leave traces of this type.
"Well, it might be possible with a mutant."
[Cthulhu World] is a crazy world where monsters and mutant creatures roam freely.
A poor level of common sense or biological knowledge will only deepen your doubts.
"Whatever it is, it's a little early to come out."
Jang Hyeon-deok's voice is heard from inside the car.
"Well, what do you have?"
"Hey, come down and take a look at this."
Jang Hyeon-deok shook his head silently, but when I frowned and started glaring at him, he got out of the car making noises like squeak and squeak.
"Hey, look. uh?"
"W-that's scary… … ."
"I understand, so look at this. "Is this what it used to be?"
"Ahh! my car! Ugh… … . No, I was fine when I left… … ."
"Right."
Jang Hyeon-deok seems to have lost some of his fear after facing the realistic fear of car repair costs.
The subject, who just a moment ago didn't want to move a single step, is now walking around the bumper, crying.
"Oh my, Bungbung… … ."
"I'll pay the repair fee separately, so just stop."
"But our Bungboong… … Yes? "Wizard."
"huh?"
"But what kind of marks are these… … ?"
It seems strange even to Jang Hyeon-deok's eyes.
"Fingernail marks."
"It's a monster. "A monster had come out."
"I guess so."
"As expected, what I saw wasn't a person."
"Isn't it better if you're not a person?"
"It wasn't a person… … . It wasn't a person... … ."
Jang Hyeon-deok's complexion changes.
'this. Madness is returning.'
My breathing becomes heavy and my body trembles.
"Oh, shit."
Although the madness subsided for a while, it only suppressed the symptoms that emerged.
Madness itself lies latent deep in the mind and can reappear at any time.
"hey! calm down. Stop thinking about useless things! "Deep breath, deep breath!"
I infused magical power into Jang Hyeon-deok's body and reactivated the previously applied enchantment.
"Sigh… … Phew… … Huh... … ."
It seems like things have calmed down a bit.
"Let's go by car first."
"yes… … ."
Jang Hyeon-deok staggered and walked to the driver's seat.
It may happen again later.
In fact, insanity that causes psychosomatic illness cannot be treated so easily. Isn't this level of resistance for an average person? Is it because I have psychic characteristics?
As soon as I sat down in the car, Jang Hyeon-deok spoke.
"It wasn't even a person… … ."
"Stop talking about that now."
Jang Hyeon-deok was probably wrong. I think it would be better to send it back at this point.
"A strange, strange woman. She was definitely a woman."
Jang Hyeon-deok continued speaking while trembling.
"Well, that…" … It definitely looked like a human. but… … Is that really a person? Wow, your eyes are clearly... … ."
Unable to bear his fear, he clutches his shoulders with both hands and curls up.
"The eyes were completely black and too big. Obviously there's nothing... … ."
"You mean he appeared suddenly?"
"yes… … ."
It is the ghost of the [Starving Mansion].
As it is, ghosts without substance cannot do things like get hit by a car or scratch the bumper.
Even outside the mansion?
"Normally, the outside of the mansion was a safe zone."
Rumbling… … Kwaaaaang!
The sound of lightning coming from outside the car is heard.
And the heavy rain is still pouring down.
Deep darkness where not even the moon can be seen.
A thick, wet vagina spread across the entire mountain.
The smell of death emanating from the spirits.
I could roughly guess what happened.
"I guess I picked the wrong day."
No, it was the client who set the appointment date.
It would be correct to say that the enemy prepared as much as I did.
'In addition to that... … .'
[Feast offering].
A penalty trait that increases the probability of encountering an abyssal being.
One of the beings of the abyss who is interested in me is giving strength to the ghosts.
"It would be a different story if we attacked from here."
The development of the game changed due to the intervention of the Abyss.
I looked at the bag in the backseat for a moment.
This is a duffel bag released by a famous sports brand.
I bought this bag because I couldn't fit all the things I prepared in the backpack.
'I've prepared a lot, so it'll work out somehow... … .'
"Anyway, Jang Hyeon-deok, you go back from here."
"yes?"
"The plan went a bit wrong. "I'll get off here, so go back."
"Well, that…" … ."
"I have deposited all the commission money and repair costs with Tudor, so when I return, I will charge them there."
"that… … ."
I took out an item I had prepared.
A large piece of yellow paper with red writing scrawled on it.
A consumable artifact of typical design.
It's a talisman.
"ruler."
"What is this?"
"You wouldn't know it if you saw it? "It's a talisman."
I took out a few more amulets and stuck them on the car window.
"Okay, it'll be okay now."
"really?"
"maybe?"
"… … ."
"Oh, no. It's really okay, so don't worry. As long as you don't get out of the car or answer the ghost, you'll be fine."
"… … ."
"And don't look back needlessly. "If you look back on your way, you might get possessed."
"No, wait. Wait!"
"why. Don't worry, most of them will come after me anyway. All you have to do is make a U-turn, close your eyes, and go straight."
They are attracted by the [Feast Offering] effect.
Even taking that aside, the magic power overflowing in my body is an extremely attractive food for ghosts. He will follow me, not Jang Hyeon-deok.
'Well, it's a bit disappointing. If Jang Hyeon-deok had followed along a little more, he would have been able to proceed much more easily.'
"No, that's not it. "I'm not going back."
"what?"
"I don't know what the wizard thinks of me, but I'm a professional."
Now that I think about it, Jang Hyeon-deok's eyes have changed a bit.
It does not mean that the fear or mental shock has disappeared.
Determination, determination, and useless arrogance are mixed in his eyes.
"It's already been 6 years since I've been driving while dodging bullets in this crazy city."
"so?"
"My job is to take the client to the requested location. "Please don't interfere with my work."
"Hmm… … ."
What kind of bullshit is this guy?
Turn it off quickly because you don't need it. It's more inconvenient to move around with you.
'… … That's a bit odd to say.'
Again, things would be much easier if Jang Hyeon-deok followed suit.
"Oh, I don't know. "Do whatever you want."
"Oh yea!"
… … I'm excited, very.
"good. "Then let's get ready."
It's not like you have to go that far anyway.
I can already see the building over that hill... … 5 minutes? No, about 10 minutes?
If it were a well-maintained road, it would take less than 3 minutes.
It's a situation where you don't know what's going to pop out... … .
Magic power was added to the distortion field that still surrounds the car.
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... … .
The range of the distortion field has increased to a radius of about 5m.
And then activate the detection magic.
[Detect magic power], [Detect sound], [Detect life force], [Detect ghost], [Detect curse], [Detect temperature], [Detect transparent objects]… … .
"That's a pain in the ass."
There are several patterns to this quest.
The most common pattern is that ghosts, which are intangible spirits, appear first.
Otherwise, it's a pattern of people possessing human bodies.
The cries of ghosts can be heard faintly from afar.
- Wow... … .
- together… … together… … .
- Let's die together… … lonely… … .
First of all, the current pattern is one in which ghosts appear.
Ghosts with unpleasant will are writhing in the darkness that cannot be seen.
'If I had stopped at this point and not detected it, would it have been a little dangerous?'
It seems like the ghosts of those who died in the mountains, the spirits of animals, and the miscellaneous spirits that wandered around here have all gathered here.
'Last time, in a place where one or two zombies should have appeared, over 30 zombies appeared, and even a huge zombie appeared in a completely different place.'
"There's nothing we can do."
"Well, is there something wrong?"
"I guess all the ghosts rolling around on this mountain have come here?"
"What should I do?"
"You just drive carefully and drive well."
[Ibn Ghazi's Beacon]
Paaaaat-.
A lump of burning light appeared in a dreamlike shape in front of the vehicle.
"I will stop you from running in."
It is a magic that makes intangible things appear.
Low-level things cannot even be approached at all.
You can prevent the kind of problem like before where an invisible guy jumps out and crashes into your car.
'And a few more besides.'
[Prayer of Protection]
[protection team]
[Retirement of authority]
"I guess this is no problem."
"Joe, great!"
Oh, there's one problem left.
If Jang Hyeon-deok, who was holding the steering wheel, lost his mind, it would be a major accident.
The car started moving.
'There's nothing I can do about this.'
No matter how I am, there is no magic that can prevent delirium.
Isn't there a magic that just instills courage without answers?
There are such things among the cultists' magic.
But that's actually a delirium spell to create something like a berserker.
This is not a spell worth using right now.
The sound of a car moving on a bumpy road is heard.
And in the meantime, the faint sound of a ghost's laughter can be heard.
Chijichik… … Chijijijijijik... … .
The radio turns on randomly.
Strange shapes can be seen writhing in the pitch black air.
"It's becoming more and more of a horror story."
The closer the mansion gets, the more intense the psychic phenomenon becomes.
[System: The penalty characteristic 'Feast Offering' effect has been activated.]
You already activated it, right? Let me know quickly.
bang! Tung… … Tatang!
Bright red handprints begin to appear outside the window.
"Uuuuuuuu… … !"
A strange sound comes out of Jang Hyeon-deok's mouth.
"Just focus on driving! "You can't get inside the car anyway!"
"That, that!"
-Where are you going!
- Come with us!
- together! Together forever!
A strange clamor is heard outside the window.
Bright red handprints increase.
Crack, crack! Ride, ride, ride, ride!!
Dozens of ghosts cling to the car, blocking the view.
You can't come in anyway.
Their dozens of eyes, possibly hundreds, are glaring at us.
They are the dead who are filled with hatred and jealousy toward those who have life.
"Oh, get out! "You bastards!"
[Tindalos' Shell]
Giiiing-.
A brilliantly shining magic circle is created around my body.
It is a second-tier defensive magic.
A transparent barrier shaped like a turtle's shell repels ghosts.
- Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
An eerie scream that makes it impossible to tell whether it is a human or an animal.
Beings who have experienced death cannot overcome this barrier.
"front! In front of Jang Hyeon-deok!"
As soon as visibility is secured, trees and dirt are falling in front.
Buuuuuuung!! Kiiiiig, buaaaaang!
Jang Hyeon-deok's hands and feet move brilliantly.
Instead, Jang Hyeon-deok increased his speed and moved the car in an almost acrobatic manner, avoiding all obstacles.
"Ugh… … "I said I was a professional, right?"
Jang Hyeon-deok is trembling, but he is doing his job well.
"Yeah, man. "You're doing great!"
thud! Kwasik, Kwazajak!
A strange shock is felt from the back of the car.
"behind! "Back, back, back, back!"
"I know!"
Ibn Ghazi's signal was sent flying backwards.
Ibn Ghazi's signal fire reveals the true nature of those who are following us.
Things in the shape of beasts are running.
The number is eight... … No, is it nine?
- Awww!!
- Crumble!
- Kkkkkkkk!
"dingo! "Wild dog!"
"Look ahead, man!"
It's not a wild dog.
Even if it is a mountain road where speed cannot be achieved properly, would an ordinary dog be able to chase a car?
They are ghosts covered in animal skin.
They are chasing with great force.
"Are they the ones who left the claw marks on the bumper earlier?"
"Uh, uhhh... … What should I do!?"
"I told you to drive properly!"
It's simple to that extent.
