I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts - Chapter 46
46 – Caught in the Tiger’s Den (4)
In front of Lua Ville’s elevator, a girl was floating around with a chilling aura.
The man looked at the girl and thought. Indeed, a child’s nature does not easily change. However, her character has improved much more than before.
But her character hadn’t improved to the point where she knew mercy. So the man spoke to the girl, giving her enough time to distract the monster named Yingzong, who was being targeted.
“But why only underwear? It would be better to plant a bug if that’s the case.”
“Yoo Hajin learned about information distortion and contamination. With an advanced level of technology.”
“Really? As expected, what’s different about the genius among the rare geniuses.”
The girl’s eyes stared piercingly at the city. She was probably scanning all the souls at the coordinates that appeared on her phone.

“Still, if it’s these panties, it can send the most important information in the most urgent moment.”
“The most urgent moment? The most important information?”
The man’s mind became distant.
What on earth is the most urgent moment?
Was the man’s chastity so important?
But while the man was taken aback, the girl flew even higher. She was now in a place where the man’s voice couldn’t reach.
And the girl flew into the city in an instant.
“Oh no.”
The man, Park Iljon, who was smoking a cigarette with blood-stained hands, sincerely prayed that someone who angered Yingzong and survived would live on.

The moment Yoo Hajin’s pants ripped and turned into pieces,
The tiger lifted its head.
Jjunggeut- The tiger had a transcendent sense and sensed that danger was approaching. So, instinctively, she assumed the posture of a cat about to jump and smiled.
“Eurureureur.”
With her waist lowered and her hips raised,
It means the unique posture of her body swaying gently.
“Woo, wow.”
Even though Yoo Hajin was about to be terrified by that posture, she couldn’t help but exclaim. And she couldn’t help but exclaim again when she saw the tiger jump and the ceiling break, revealing a clear sky.
“Wow, amazing. We’re halfway underground, what is this?”
Hooddeuk- Yoo Hajin shook her shoulders because of the falling concrete dust. Afterward, she was trying to untie the thick chains that were wrapped around her, whimpering.
They were thick steel chains without any supernatural ability.
So, it was extremely difficult for Yoo Hajin to undo them.
“Kkeueueueuk!”
But breaking the chains was not the only way to be freed from the chains.

The girl called Youngzon stood above the sky and looked down at the world.
And with a loud noise, she saw a monster like a tiger jump out in the slums. It was practically a tiger in appearance, but it looked like a demonic being from another world, distant from an actual tiger.
Each strand of fur wriggled like malevolent tentacles, and in the gleaming eyes, there was the truth of a predator looking at prey.
Hundreds of teeth closer together than a typical tiger and sharp as if looking at just one tooth were enough to pierce the body with a single glance.
And it had only the size of a small building.
But the tight and muscular movements.
Seeing the surrounding evil spirits flee in fear, Kim Sojin said one word.
“So it’s you? The tiger that eats the spirits and turns them into ghosts.”
“Grrr. Erurur.”
“Answer me.”
“Grrr!!!”
Twitch-
How long has it been since she felt this pressure?
Youngzon laughed and spoke, forgetting her anger for a moment.
“You may be able to increase the size of your spiritual body much larger. Do it.”
And Kim Sojin made an agreement.
Since it was in the middle of Seoul, they couldn’t open the portal.
And she couldn’t use some of the highly-ranked souls she had harvested.
Nevertheless, she thought it wouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to kill the tiger. Kim Sojin clasped her hands with a cold expression.
Looking at the much larger tiger, Kim Sojin formed a bond.
“Activate principle. Call forth spirits.”
Then, the souls under Kim Sojin’s control began to appear behind her. The tiger also summoned the domain kings it had devoured without hesitation.
“Roar. Executioners, follow me.”
Kim Sojin sighed as she saw it.
A fight between souls and domain kings.
No matter how you looked at it, there was bound to be some casualties.
“Haah, if there are casualties, that nuisance Yuhajin will threaten me again. It’s annoying.”
At that moment, the tiger’s front paw flew towards Kim Sojin. The girl skillfully evaded the paw and muttered.
“The movement is too obvious. You can’t even hide the intent of your own soul. A master like Yuhajin can’t even predict a single real attack. Ah, it’s no fun. I was expecting something more from a tiger.”
Such an obvious attack.
To Kim Sojin, who could read souls to the extent of seeing the near future in a matter of seconds, it was a powerful but low-level attack. Kim Sojin made an expression of boredom and narrowly avoided the attack.
“To avoid Yuhajin’s nagging, I guess I have to finish you off quickly, right?”
As Kim Sojin easily dodged the tiger’s paw, she took the opportunity to place her hand on the tiger’s left arm.
It was a gap of less than a second. But by reading the tiger’s soul, Kim Sojin knew that during that gap the tiger would not be able to harm her.
“Yin and Yang reversal. Soul annihilation modification. Soul severing.”
Thus, the tiger’s left arm flew off, and as a result, Bak Yourin’s left arm twisted and shattered due to the feedback. Bak Yourin whimpered, tears welling up.
“Grrr! Ah, it hurts!!!”
“It hurts? People make that sound when they’re in pain. But what should we do about it?”
Kim Sojin said with a cold expression.
“If you mess with someone else’s things, you should expect to die.”

Clang, aaah!
Phew, f***!
“Ugh, ugh.”
She succeeded in twisting the chains and removing her arm.
And now, it was time to free her legs.
“This is hopeless…”
However, the bridge seemed to have no answer.
It was tightly tied.
What should I do?
I touched the pocket with my liberated arm.
Fortunately, my smartphone was still alive.
Now all I had to do was use this smartphone to escape from the tiger cave. Should I call 112 and inform them of the terrifying power of the people’s baton to the tiger?
“…”
If I did that, the people’s baton would probably break in the hands of the tiger. Or maybe the people’s baton wouldn’t come out of the pocket because it was scared.
Anyway, the authorities were of no help in this situation.
So, I searched for a way to unlock the chains on Google.
Because Google knew everything.
But even Google didn’t know how to unlock thick chains like this.
But I can’t give up like this.
I searched through different websites.
I even went on NewTube.
“Interesting…”
Damn it, I wasted three minutes staring at a show where they forge chains in a refinery.
I shook my head and searched for Bai Yurin.
There’s a saying that knowing the enemy is the key to victory. Even though I didn’t really know the opponent, it was still helpful.
So, I quickly searched for Bai Yurin.
Bai Yurin. Oh, she’s a child actress.
Then she joined a big agency.
I could find videos of Bai Yurin dancing and pictures of her with friends. She looked really bright in those days.
But the comments were not the same.
<Wanjjang!!! Get rid of the horror gifs!!!>
<Damn, I thought my heart would stop>
From the comments, it seemed like even the old photos were affected by the influence of Yeongan Awakening.
Next, I looked for news.
Until the day of the Yeongan Awakening, there weren’t many articles about Bai Yurin. There were a few entertainment articles, mostly praising her beauty and talent in singing and dancing.
Originally, I would have thought that these articles were paid for by the agency, but I also thought that Bai Yurin must have the talent and beauty to deserve such praise.
And after the day of the awakening of Yeong-an, there was a surge of articles about Baek Yoorin. More specifically, from then on, the word “tiger” began to appear more frequently instead of Baek Yoorin.
Articles about people who collapsed from heart failure after seeing a tiger.
Articles stating that the tiger had been appointed as a divine spirit.
Articles reporting that when the tiger settled in a corner of Seoul, thousands of people gathered to protest the falling house prices.
“Wow, there are people who value house prices more than their own lives.”
I became interested in those articles and decided to read them.
In those articles, Baek Yoorin’s voice appeared. Baek Yoorin, who appeared through a video, revealed her opinions only through phone calls without revealing her true appearance.
“Ah, hello. I’m going to leave for the rural mountains in Gangwon Province. So please don’t curse me too much. I, I’m sorry. It’s not an excuse. B-But…”
“Please, please spare me!!!”
“God? That’s the voice of a god? Ahahahahaha!!!”
As soon as Baek Yoorin spoke, thousands of people fled. It was said that dozens of people died while fleeing and tripping.
After that, there were no more protests.
Instead, minor acts of terror occurred near Baek Yoorin’s residence.
Articles reported that insulting letters and filth were thrown into Baek Yoorin’s house. However, there were no articles about Baek Yoorin retaliating against them.
The next article was brief.
It was news that Baek Yoorin’s only family, her mother, had received an award.
Through the comments, I was able to learn the full story of the article.
“She cried and shouted that her daughter was eaten by a tiger.”
“She used to work four hours a day just for her daughter. It’s really sad.”
“They had a very affectionate mother-daughter relationship. It’s truly heartbreaking.”
Sometimes, unrelated people’s situations stabbed my heart. The sobs of the boy who was shot with a 12-gauge shotgun and the cries of the younger Baek Yoorin seemed to echo in my ears. What is this illusion?
The next article was nothing special.
It was an article claiming that the tiger’s lair was not one of the three most dangerous areas in Seoul, but rather the safest area in Seoul. It stated that there were barely any damages from evil spirits in that area.
There was also an article stating that Baek Yoorin had participated in foreign cities under the name of Cheonji and saved tens of thousands of foreign people.
Those were the only articles.
That was the moment.
Thud, thud, thud. The sound echoed from the ceiling.
And Baek Yoorin, covered in blood, came crashing down from the ceiling.
“Wow. She’s gone insane.”
“That sight was so gruesome that I lost my words.
Bae Yurin was sobbing with a spluttering sound, tears streaming down her face.
Even the wounds inflicted by some cursed thing were getting worse.
“Ah, it hurts… Mom…”
If I leave her like this, she’s probably 120% going to die.
I sighed deeply at the sight.
“Seriously, I’m just a fool.”
I freed my legs with the key that was on Bae Yurin’s waist and lifted her onto my back.
