Episode 94 – No. 102, Room of the Curse – ‘Mansion of Horror’ Re (7)
* Third attempt
– Eunsol Lee
As I looked at Lee Se-hyun in silence and held his hand tightly, Lee Se-hyun eventually began to answer.
“Siwoo… . It happened when I was young. It’s been over 10 years. “Siwoo’s mom, do you remember Yujin?”
The man’s confession, which started like this, continued for quite a long time.
I found out about my wife’s affair 10 years ago. The person he was having an affair with was his old friend and the majority shareholder of the company that Se-hyeon was running at the time.
Se-hyeon belatedly tried to punish his wife, but he was on the verge of losing everything due to various documents stolen by his wife and the collusion of a major shareholder with whom he had an affair. Even my son began to suffer from illness at the same time.
… okay. You’ve been through something like a morning drama.
By the way, I’m really sorry, but I’m not curious at all.
If I were your real younger brother, I would have shed at least a tear by now, but I’m not.
More than that, the moth out there is on the verge of making a cocoon, so please speak quickly!
After urging him to show as little as possible, the next story finally began to come out.
“At that time, I climbed the mountain behind the mansion with the intention of committing suicide. Actually, it was more of a small house than a mansion at the time -”
“So what happened on the mountain behind?”
Brother, please hurry up. Now the moth is putting saliva on the cocoon!
“… I feel anxious. While wandering around the mountain behind me, I passed a strange door and arrived at a place where holy light came down.
I met a fairy-like being in that sanctuary. It was a mysterious and beautiful being… .”
There, I was in the mood to vaguely reminisce about the past, so I ended up hitting him.
—puck!
“100 million! Ugh, Eunsol?”
“you! “If you start talking nonsense again from now on, I will blow Siwoo first in the next episode!”
“Okay, I understand, so calm down. Because almost everything has been said. It turned out that he was an apostle of the Great One.
The Apostle gave me a revelation to worship a new god. He said that if I attend Him, all suffering will disappear… .”
The mysterious ‘Apostle’ suggested that Sehyeon worship a new god.
He said that if Sehyeon faithfully worships the new god, all the hardships in his life will disappear.
When Se-hyeon began to worship God, fate mysteriously worked out for him and he was able to punish his wife and her affair partner.
All his wealth came back, and his subsequent business went so well that he gained great wealth.
As expected, my son’s health also recovered to some extent.
‘… Mysteriously, fate didn’t work out, but the apostle shook the human world with his possessive powers and made your wish come true.’
“After that, I built an altar in the basement to dedicate back to him the wealth I had saved thanks to him. I prayed regularly and sincerely -”
“altar?”
“Just because it’s an altar doesn’t mean it’s that grand. only -”
“No, brother. “Where on earth is that altar?”
Please Sehyun! Please stop talking nonsense. Because I just felt it.
We have to destroy that altar too!
“uh? It’s a bit difficult to explain the location of the altar in words. When creating it, the apostle put a lot of emphasis on security, so the path to get there is very complicated -”
—Cookung!
A sound that shook the heavens and earth rang out.
Oh no way!
When I looked outside, I saw that the moth had made a cocoon, got inside, and closed the cocoon.
…
Even if you grab Lee Se-hyun by the collar right now!
“hey! Lee Se-hyun! “How do I get to that altar?”
“It’s hard to explain in words -”
/You escaped!/
… Hotel crazy bastards cutting here? Just by looking at it, that altar absolutely has to be destroyed, right?

[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 30
Current location: Tier 1, hallway
Sage advice: 1]
– Han Ga-in
thud! I woke up in the hallway with the sensation of falling to the floor.
When I looked around, everyone stood up with blank expressions. The sight of everyone escaping from the now familiar cursed room.
After heading to room 105 and sharing what we had discovered, the meeting began with a meal.
Unlike usual, Eunsol seems to be thinking deeply about something. Let’s talk about me first.
“Now it’s almost the end. The conditions for solution have also been outlined.
There seem to be two major conditions for resolution.
First, prevent the ritual of birth of evil spirits.
The method is probably an otherworldly ‘sanctuary’ that can be accessed through the back mountain, or an ‘altar’ located somewhere underground.
I think we just need to destroy both places.
Second, the punishment of opponents.
You can kill the adversary by blocking his possession ability with a bell.
According to the information Ari and Seung-yeop found, the adversary seems to be possessing ‘Lee Si-woo’ at the ‘starting point’.
If you have any other thoughts, please let me know.”
Songi asked a question.
“It’s not just another thought, it’s something I’m curious about. Why is Lee Si-woo’s body possessed?
The person who controls the property is Lee Se-hyeon, so it would have been much easier to do various things if Lee Se-hyun’s body was taken away.
I guess I could have taken it away any time I wanted anyway?”
The old man answered silently.
“As Lee Se-hyun’s external activities are much more extensive, it may have been because there was a high probability of being caught by the Vatican if he occupied Lee Se-hyun’s body.
If the apostle had actually been in Lee Se-hyun’s body, we would have immediately arrested Lee Se-hyun in the second attempt.
However, since I was in a child’s body, I was fooled. “Song, didn’t you also test children with bracelets?”
Songi admitted.
“that’s right. “In the second attempt, I was only conscious of Lee Se-hyun and didn’t think about testing Lee Si-woo.”
As if she had finished worrying, Eunsol joined the conversation.
“I thought about it for a while, but I still don’t know the location of the underground ‘altar’. “Even though I searched and searched through the knowledge of Lee Se-hyeon’s younger brother that came into my head, I couldn’t find any information related to the location of the altar.”
The path to this altar is very complicated due to strict security.
“How should I get there? Can anyone think of a way?”
Grandfather Silence answered with an attitude that it was no big deal.
“What are you worrying about? Aren’t the only two people who know the way there, ‘Lee Se-hyeon’ and ‘Apostle’? “It’s impossible for you to open your mouth, so you’ll have to go after Lee Se-hyeon.”
“Then we have the answer as to how to solve the first condition. Let’s find out the location of the altar through Lee Se-hyeon and destroy it, and then go and destroy the sanctuary on the mountain behind.”
When I looked at Jincheol while saying the word ‘destruction’, Jincheol immediately understood and responded.
“I think the destruction will be done by me. We don’t have bombs, so there’s no way to do it as sure as the stars. “It is a legacy that can even beat the wings of an evil spirit, so it can easily destroy a sanctuary or an altar.”
He continued talking.
“I think it will be easy to kill the next adversary, the ‘Apostle.’ As soon as it started, I secured Lee Si-woo and immediately rang the bell to suppress his possession… .”
I was speechless for a moment.
If you think about it, he is an unfortunate child whose body was stolen by an evil being. Should he be killed?
While I was speechless, Ari answered.
“I guess I can kill Si-woo while suppressing the possession.”
… It’s something that can’t be helped.
The final plan has been completed.
First, destroy the altar and sanctuary with the power of the stars. Find out the location of the altar through Lee Se-hyeon.
Second, kill the apostle of the evil spirit, the adversary who possessed Lee Si-woo’s body while suppressing his ability to possess him as a servant.
Finally, after Grandpa Mukseong gave his warning, today’s meeting ended.
“Everyone, take note! Since the evil spirit birth ceremony is taking place in real time, planning must proceed as quickly as possible.
We must not suffer in the process. “If we are sacrificed, the birth of evil spirits will be greatly accelerated.”
* Fourth attempt
[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 31
Current Location: Tier 1, Room 102 (Chamber of Curse – Mansion of Horror)
Sage Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
As soon as the fourth attempt started, we went to the village, picked up Ari and Seungyeop, and ran straight to the mansion.
Now there is no need for anyone to notice. All you need is a quick fix!
The top priority of the plan is to immediately suppress the enemy possessing Lee Si-woo’s body and prevent him from carrying out any manipulation.
As lightning struck the mansion, Lee Se-hyeon tried to welcome us.
He immediately grabbed Lee Se-hyeon before he could do anything, and the cardinal had the mansion’s employees summon Lee Si-woo.
Before Lee Si-woo could do anything –
—Taaaang!
A harsh metallic sound erupts from the bell I hold.
Lee Si-woo’s expression, feeling something unusual, was distorted as if he were a murderer.
“How on earth!”
Black chains rose up around it, but as expected, their power was poor due to the bell.
There was no need to go to the Jincheol Priest, and I was able to endure with just my own strength.
They tied Lee Si-woo to the bed and started ringing the bell next to him non-stop.
Not long after, Lee Si-woo fell limp as if he had lost consciousness.
Afterwards, we tried to persuade Lee Se-hyeon.
An evil entity possessing Siwoo’s body has been sacrificing the children of the village, and its purpose is to bring down the evil spirit.
The being you worship is an extremely evil being, and the altar must be destroyed, so you must guide it.
Naturally, Se-hyeon Lee resisted fiercely and did not believe what we said at all.
Of course, we didn’t just come with the intention of persuading Lee Se-hyeon peacefully.
Ari silently approached me and hypnotized me.
What should I do now? Should I kill Lee Si-woo right away?
Before I could do anything, the cardinal walked up to the limp boy’s side, holding a pistol.
… I sighed and looked somewhere else.
—bang!
—Ting~!
?
What does this mean? The sound of something bouncing?
When I turned around in confusion, I saw that Lee Si-woo was trapped in a huge crystal that had appeared out of nowhere.
“What is this?”
The cardinal responded in bewilderment.
“It seems like he had a secret tactic for self-protection. “When I fired the gun, this ridiculous stone suddenly appeared.”
Even though I kept ringing the bell, the decision was okay. What should I do if neither guns nor bells work?
Priest Jincheol laughed and approached.
“Well, everyone, leave. “That’s not my kind of thing -”
“You idiot! “You can’t use stars here!”
“to?”
“to? What is eh? go! Can’t you see Ga-in still ringing the bell next to you? Can a species withstand the power of a star that can even twist the wings of an evil god?
The paper will be destroyed before that crystal is destroyed. If the species is destroyed, it will return to its original body in the other world. Do you want to see that damn thing?”
After making an expression of realization, Priest Jincheol struck the crystal with his fist several times.
Didn’t even flinch. This time, they brought rocks and metal pieces from nearby and struck them, but as expected, there was not a single flaw in the crystal.
Finally, the cardinal sighed.
“stop! It seems that it cannot simply be physically destroyed. “I think it would be difficult to destroy it using ordinary means.”
What do we do?
It bounces off bullets and doesn’t even get a scratch even with the power of a Jincheol priest. There is no way to destroy it unless it is big.
If you use stars, the paper will be ruined. However, if the bell is taken outside the range of the star, it seems that the apostle will regain his possession ability.
… While everyone paused for a moment, unsure of what to do, Ari made a decision.
“You can’t keep that decision indefinitely. It will disappear with time. “A few of us will stay behind and ring the bell to hold that guy down, and the rest of us will take Lee Se-hyeon and go destroy the altar.”
In the end, we decided to split the party.
The three of them – Jin-cheol, who had to wear a bracelet on his brother, and Ari, who had to maintain Lee Se-hyeon’s hypnosis – set out to destroy the altar, while the others started pounding the bell and keeping an eye on Sado.

– Lee Se-hyeon
… My mind is blurry.
what am i doing
I don’t know. It feels strange, like I’m dreaming.
Why am I leading the priests of the Vatican, whom I am seeing for the first time today, to the altar?
…
Open your eyes.
Faithful little lamb! My faithful servant Sehyeon.
Those who serve false gods are treating you like a witch.
.
…
Open your eyes.
The temple you built with a faithful heart and guarded with reverence every day is falling apart.
The life of the child you cared for for 5,000 nights is at risk.
Stand up. Only you can turn everything around.
Consciousness began to return. I realized that I was surrounded by hypocrites full of lies.
‘iced coffee! Lord! My Lord! ‘What should I do?’
From now on, follow my words. You are my hands, you are my legs.
