Episode 185

Before the typhoon even blew in my head.

It was not long after the movie started.

Phew!!

The movie, which started with an unusual wind, was quite immersive.

Maybe it was because of the environment, but it matched the atmosphere of the movie well.

A return to the conglomerate with occult elements.

“A conglomerate goes bankrupt because of a single mistake in choosing a house site. I guess this is why the site is so important.”

Hansong whispered next to me.

Of course, the content of the movie was fictional, but it was also based on reality and it felt very realistic, perhaps because it fit our country’s sentiments.

The sight of him, a wealthy man, calling in a shaman to perform a ritual reminded me of the sight I saw when I was working at the company.

“The director who created this did a lot of research. He said he learned by going to people who only found good sites and following people who were digging the ground.”

“okay?”

It somehow felt very realistic.

“But isn’t it a little scary?”

“Huh? What?”

“I think things like that could exist in reality too. Like places or objects possessed by evil spirits.”

I don’t know about demons, but there are definitely spirits.

I glanced at Soo-Jung, who was watching a movie while eating popcorn next to me.

Miho and Brownie weren’t really interested, but this one was a little different.

Just like a real child, he was very curious and tried to imitate many things.

‘That’s amazing.’

─Huh?

‘No. Is that fun?’

─Yeah! Where is that?

‘Huh? Well.’

How would I know where the movie is set?

Well, maybe you’ll find out later?

These days, in the case of famous filming locations, the locations are often made public.

‘But why?’

─Um. Just!

The guy thinks for a moment, then quickly refocuses as if to say no.

It didn’t seem like much, so I went back to focusing on the movie.

The story begins with the protagonist’s regression and gradually begins to search for the cause of the things that are happening in the house.

“Eww!?”

There was a scary scene during that time, and the wind was blowing really hard at that time.

At that sound, not only Han Song-i, but also Lee Seon-ah and Kang Do-yoon flinched.

Is this totally 4D?

“Huh? Why is your face wet? Is there water leaking here too?”

“Are those tears shed because you were scared?”

“No way?!”

Even Soo-Jung, who was surprised together with him, almost aroused suspicion by spraying water on the surrounding area.

Fortunately, I realized I had misunderstood.

‘That’s fun.’

The movie was fun and the current situation was also fun.

As time passes, the movie gradually reaches its climax… … .

Woohoo!!

The typhoon outside the window also grew stronger as it made landfall from the sea.

The wind and rain seemed as if they would uproot the trees in the vacant lot.

At that moment, the atmosphere was so tense!

‘huh?’

As I was watching a scene in a movie, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

It was a scene where the few normal-thinking characters remaining in the conglomerate family, led by the eldest son who returned, initially had conflicts but joined forces when faced with evil.

It’s a commonly used cliché, so it’s not a scene that really inspires me…

‘Let’s join forces.’

Such a common scene sent ripples through my mind.

Food obtained through the essence of gluttony and the growth of Manseonggong, which has been a concern recently.

It seemed like a way to achieve both at once had occurred to me.

I took my eyes off the movie and carefully spread out the food.

The content of the movie was already out of sight. The ending was already decided.

Instead, I turned my attention to the five talents that came to mind.

One of them.

Only the talents of Moksaeng were collected separately.

And he combined the talents of the Moksaeng.

Woohoo!!

It seems like the talents are connected and becoming one, but it’s not yet.

‘ceremony.’

The stem of the food was wrapped around the talents of the united wood life.

It was a matter of truly uniting the talents.

Food became a bridge between the combined talents and they became one.

“Ugh!”

As if it was necessary for the bridge, the aura inside my body was sucked in like cotton absorbing water.

My head and body trembled as if a typhoon had struck.

Boom boom boom!!

The sound of the movie echoed throughout the cafe.

Wheeee!!

The sound of the typhoon’s wind could be heard through the window.

And finally, it opened with a sensation that felt like lightning striking my body from head to toe.

‘ah.’

It is the combination of the talents of Moksaeng.

▶Moksaeng (4 stars): Cheonmu

A new talent took the place of the others.

At the same time, the tree grew.

‘It went up two levels.’

Originally, Mok-saeng’s talent was limited to two stars.

But this time, it grew two levels at once.

I don’t know if it was the resistance, but I felt like I had no strength left in my body.

‘Cheonmu.’

A talent that has been newly established, combining the talents of Moksaeng.

It was a talent that was one but not one.

No one explained this to me, but I knew it instinctively.

Perhaps some physical talent will produce different results than before.

“Wow! It’s over! The ending was really scary! Right, Seon-ah?”

“little?”

“For something so small, isn’t that a cold sweat?”

“Tch, you’re drooling.”

I heard Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah’s voices. It seemed like the movie had just ended.

But isn’t it stranger that I drooled instead of sweating?

Anyway, I joined in as if nothing had happened.

“It looks like the typhoon has passed?”

“Huh? Really? When did that happen?”

The wind and rain were still blowing.

Still, it is definitely weaker than when it was blowing hard.

It seems like he’s probably passed this point.

Or maybe the typhoon has weakened.

Anyway, the typhoon passed safely.

“Brother, aren’t you hungry?”

“… … I’m a little hungry. What time is it now?”

“It’s almost midnight now.”

“Really? It’s been quite some time?”

“This was three hours long.”

The movie was longer than I thought.

It was so good that it felt pretty short for something like that.

Of course, in the end, I couldn’t see him doing anything else.

It was a satisfying movie-watching experience anyway, because I got something more important out of it.

“Would you like me to make you some snacks?”

“yes!”

The one who asked was Kang Do-yoon, but Han Song-i answered first.

Somehow, I feel like I’m starting to see more and more of Su-ah in Han Song-yi… … But is it better because she’s bright?

anyway.

“Just wait a minute.”

I guess I’m pretty hungry because I just had a big event.

So, before checking what I got, I decided to fill my stomach first.

* * *

I ate a hearty midnight snack and lay down on the camp bed set up in the cafe.

The other guys all drank beer and passed out.

If Su-ah was there, I would have been careful and eaten moderately, but since she wasn’t there, there was no MT at all.

Webtoon writer, YouTuber, movie actor.

These days, they are adults with jobs that you can’t miss out on wherever you go, but at that time, they seemed younger than college students.

‘A good example of rural settlement.’

Including me.

by the way.

‘Cheonmura… … .’

I showed off my talents while making a midnight snack earlier.

And then I was surprised. The image in my dream had become reality.

A dance of the immortals unfolding among numerous animals and mystical beings just before settling down here.

That happened in real life.

Of course, it wasn’t exactly the same.

Because materials that didn’t exist before were created out of thin air.

But it definitely felt similar.

And it was definitely different from when Mok-saeng’s talents were displayed in harmony and unity.

‘The spirits helped too.’

Sujeong gave water, Miho gave fire, and Brownie gave strength.

But that too was accepted naturally. The results that the difference created were also very different.

Of course, it wasn’t like an elixir of immortality was suddenly created or anything like that.

‘Still, it’s true that a wall has collapsed.’

What had been blocked for so long has been cleared.

Now I understand what Sujeong meant when she said that it can be written like this.

What should I say? Should I tell them to follow the flow?

Using your hands wasn’t something you could just do, and using your body had its own way of doing it.

When you go the right way, the aura of Moksaeng also seeps in correctly.

Of course, following that open path still requires more training.

‘There are still four more left… … .’

It seemed impossible to combine other talents like this at the moment, aside from Moksaeng.

What should I call this?

It used to be available automatically, but should I say that it has now been changed to manual?

Efficiency and effectiveness improved, but it still had to be more delicate.

So, for the time being, I think I should focus on Mok-saeng’s talent, Cheonmu.

After adapting here, I’m sure I’ll become even more talented than before.

And there is even more room to go beyond that.

‘This is the most important thing.’

As the wall breaks down, it seems possible to grow to a higher level.

It seemed to relieve all the frustration I had felt for so long.

It was as clear as a calm, clear night sky after a typhoon had passed.

But after a typhoon passed, the stars seemed to be clearly visible.

“Hmm? What are you doing instead of sleeping?”

“I was looking at the stars in the sky because they were so bright.”

“Stars? Huh? Really? Wow! They look really good.”

The lack of lights around may have had an effect, but today the night sky was particularly clear.

It may seem like typhoons only cause damage, but there is also this.

Hansongi woke up from a short nap and jumped up, looking at the night sky.

And he even woke up Lee Seon-ah and Kang Do-yoon who were sleeping.

“Seon-ah! Look at the sky over there!”

“Ugh… … I’m sleepy.”

“If you see that, you’ll wake up right away. It’s a lot of content!”

“Wake up.”

Wow… … That obsession. Isn’t it amazing?

Lee Seon-ah, who was holding a camera in her hand, stood up while holding Han Song-i’s hand.

And even Kang Do-yoon woke up from his sleep and blankly looked up at the night sky.

‘It feels like summer is ending.’

It felt like another eventful season had passed.

* * *

The next day.

I went down to the house to clean up, take a quick shower, and eat something to eat, and I was shocked.

We didn’t think there would be much damage, but it seems the typhoon was stronger than we thought.

There was damage to several houses in the village, and the news kept reporting on damage caused by the typhoon.

That’s why the village was bustling.

“They say our village is better off. In the village next door, a landslide hit a house.”

“The tossa house? So the police car passed by earlier?”

“Yes. I think so. An ambulance was also on its way. No one should have been hurt.”

I also heard some pretty serious things from Hansong.

It was quite scary to hear that a landslide from the mountain had covered a house.

The only damage to our town was that the windows shook and broke, and peppers that had been left on the roof and forgotten about flew away.

“But… … Cough! … ​​… This is too spicy.”

While picking up the blown peppers, Hansongi kept wiping away tears.

It’s not that it wasn’t spicy, it was really spicy.

Earlier, Lee Sun-ah was picking this up and rubbing her eyes and shedding tears.

“I’ve picked it all up now. Let’s go.”

I quickly picked up everything that was left and headed to the pepper’s owner’s house.

It wasn’t something we necessarily had to pick up, but we did it because it would be over quickly if we all picked it up together.

“Oh my! How can I be so grateful for this?”

“no.”

“Let’s just wait and see. I don’t think I’ll use the peppers anyway.”

“We’re really okay. You don’t have to give us anything.”

“How could that be? Ah! Would you like some eggs?”

I picked up the peppers and didn’t really expect anything in return.

But the landlady insisted on giving it to me, so I had no choice but to accept only a little bit… … .

“This many eggs?”

“There’s a lot. Eat it right away.”

No, I thought you’d give me eggs in a box.

Then, Kang Do-yoon came and whispered to me that she was an old lady who raised chickens and that she had a huge farm on the mountain over there.

No, why does everyone in this town have such big hands and do such big things?

“If you eat enough, ask for more!”

“No way… … .”

It seems like they gave us almost a year’s worth of eggs for an average household.

Still, I said I was grateful and would eat it well, so I took it and left.

But what should I do with this?
