Tweet-!

Jijibaebae-!

Lee Jin-ah’s house was near a mountain, so the sound of birds was loud.

At this level, it would be more accurate to say that the bird was barking, rather than chirping.

Cool autumn morning.

Oinoi shouted.

“The owner of the house is telling you to come out quickly… ! The owner of the house tells me to come out… ! I can’t wait to see what this Oinoi discovers… !”

I am a person who likes to sleep soundly without being disturbed or waking up in the middle of my sleep.

If I woke up in the middle of the night and went back to sleep, I felt strangely heavy when I woke up in the morning.

Perhaps that’s why I felt particularly heavy when I woke up this morning.

“Oinoi, what on earth is going on?”

Oinoi was a nymph who liked to make a fuss.

Because the nymphs themselves have empathy and sensitivity that is twice that of humans, it was common for them to make a fuss when they saw a strange sight.

What else did I discover this morning?

Did you even spot a rainbow in the dry sky like last time?

Or did Kang Kwang’s stocks rise significantly in the morning?

Zek-.

With that feeling, I went out to the living room with my tired body, and Oinoi grabbed my arm and pulled me hard.

“Let’s go quickly… ! This Oinoi was also very surprised… !”

“What on earth is going on?”

The place Oinoi led me to was the kitchen of Jinah Lee’s new house.

When I headed to the kitchen of my new home, I saw all kinds of ramen bags and fruit peels lying messy on the floor, and I saw Hai Rae sitting in the center, munching on a carrot.

“What is all this? Hi, did you clean out Lee Jin-ah’s refrigerator?”

It looks like the refrigerator was opened sometime last morning and all the food and groceries inside were taken out.

Lee Jin-ah, who saw the empty beverage PT bottle and all the fruits gone, rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened her mouth as if slightly surprised.

“What is going on? How hungry were you? “Was it not enough to eat black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork last night?”

“I don’t know! “I’m just hungry!”

Despite saying that, Ha Yi-rae did not stop eating her carrots.

How could she have had so little to eat that she ended up chewing on raw, uncooked carrots?

She is my younger sister, but she sometimes does strange things.

No, if I think about it, it seems like she didn’t do it sometimes, but she did it often.

“Hey… !”

Barrr-.

At that time, Barbar trembled.

Why is that so?

“Barbar, what’s wrong?”

“This feeling is not good… ! It feels like something sinister is crawling on my back… ! And that ominous energy has eight legs… !”

━Hiooong… !

I removed the stomping stick that was stuck to Barbar’s back.

Although it had eight legs, it preferred to ride on people’s backs and move around rather than walk.

Wouldn’t it be similar to how people prefer to get around by car rather than walking?

Anyway.

Hai Rae said that he was so hungry in the early morning that he opened the refrigerator door and ate what was inside as if he was possessed by something.

I felt a little sorry and embarrassed that my sister trashed someone else’s refrigerator.

“Jin Lee, I will reimburse you for the things that Hi-rae ate freely.”

“That’s enough. You can do that if you’re hungry. Rather… Was there something like that in the first place?”

Zek-.

Lee Jin-ah’s eyes turned to the kitchen’s threshold and ceiling.

I didn’t know it yesterday, but now I can see traces of something square attached to the kitchen ceiling.

It looked like soot, and it was just as big as my palm.

“It looks like a trace of an amulet attached.”

It was just as Lee Jin-ah said.

Now I can see that there were traces of amulets attached to the top of the threshold of the house and the entrance to the second floor leading up to the stairs.

There was also evidence that the amulet written in red letters on yellow-backed paper had been torn by someone’s hand.

Lee Jin-ah’s second day as director.

We unpacked and finished the detailed furniture arrangement and adjustments, as well as cleaning.

It was a busy day, and the process of filling up the empty new house was more rewarding than expected, so time passed by so quickly that it was already lunch.

Lunch time.

“Oppa, are you ordering gratin and pasta delivered for lunch?”

Pasta?

What pasta.

For lunch today, didn’t Jinah Lee say, “Since everyone helped us move, I’ll cook the food?”

When I told him about this, my sister Heilae frowned.

“What do you mean? “You told me earlier that you wanted me to have lunch delivered today, right?”

“I said that?”

It was the first time ever.

All day today, I was sweeping and wiping dust on the second floor with kids like Kkungkkung, Angang, and Bangkkwang.

“I never said that?”

From noble mtl dot com

“No! You said that while I was cleaning the kitchen! Let’s have lunch delivered today! Oinoi, Coris, did you hear that too?”

Coris and Oinoi shook their heads.

It seemed like I didn’t hear it.

“Hi, did you eat something wrong?”

Does it feel a little strange that school starts after vacation?

College students are strange in the first week of semester.

But Hairae said, “No! My brother said it! “I clearly heard your voice!” She said, feeling mortified.

━Crumbling… !

It was right then.

A skunk that was running around the large space on the first floor made a threatening warning sound.

Most of the time when Kkeokkeung made this noise, it was when he was bored. How could Kkeokkeung be bored after running around all day?

I went down to the first floor to check on Keungkeungi and arrived at the warehouse room where my luggage was not organized.

“Kkeungkeung, why are you like this? I’m bored?”

━Crumbling… !

Passuk, Passuk!

In a room where the belongings were poorly organized, Kkungkkung was digging around on the floor like a puppy looking for a buried bone.

The wind tore what looked like an old carpet that had been on the floor before we arrived.

“Is this a true story? Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! How boring was it! No, wait a minute—.”

For a moment, I had doubts about Kkeungkeung’s actions.

I removed the carpet from the floor.

Then, I saw something that looked like a square-shaped board stuck to the floor.

“Door? Is this a door leading underground? Hey! Lee Jin-ah! “Come here!”

I called Jinah Lee.

When she was moving things yesterday, she didn’t hear that there was a basement in this house.

“What is this? Cellar? I don’t think I ever heard from the real estate agent that there was a basement? That’s interesting. Should I open it? I wonder what’s there. “If it’s a basement, it could be used as a warehouse!”

Lee Jin-ah seemed happy about the unexpected creation of a basement.

However, the basement door seemed to be tightly locked from the other side, although I don’t know how it worked.

Of course, Jin-ah Lee was such a strong awakener that even I was surprised at times, and she just ripped the lock off with her strength.

Ujikkeun-.

The basement door finally broke.

When I opened it with all my might, a dusty staircase appeared, as if it had been left unattended for quite some time.

“Ugh, what is this smell?”

Lee Jin-ah plugged her nose.

Beside him, Oi Noi raised her hand.

“I am excited because it feels like I am going on an adventure… ! This Oinoi wants to quickly see what’s in the basement… !”

“This Coris is so good that she wants to eat lunch quickly…” ! But if you’re with everyone, it’s fun even if you starve… !”

In the afternoon, just past lunch time.

We all decided to go down to the basement together.

However, Ha Yi-rae expressed her particular disapproval by shaking her body.

“I hate it. “I don’t want to go down.”

Why is it like that?

Do you feel any bad energy in this basement?

“It looks like there are a lot of cockroaches!”

It was a reasonable story.

Of course, as long as Kkungkkung, Kwangkwang, and Angang were there, it was clear that the cockroaches would be kicked out of the house without even having time to exert any effort.

With that feeling, we entered the creaky basement.

The basement was similar in width to the first floor.

Various boiler devices were running in a dark corner, old spider webs were spread out, and dead cockroaches were seen here and there.

The mouse was also dead.

“Maybe it’s because there are mountains nearby. There are a lot of rats. This is a crow… ?”

There were corpses of rats and crows.

Couldn’t this be why the smell was so bad when I opened the basement door? As I was moving forward with the flashlight on, I was momentarily startled.

“What is this?”

Would it be better to describe it as a shrine?

There were a lot of strange-looking Buddha statues and small dolls on the table, leaving behind half-burned candles and caked-on soot.

“Doesn’t it look similar to the shrine that used to be in the gang’s military bunker?”

I once heard Illinois say, “There is no god more powerful than Zeus…” !” I thought of the shrine that was torn down in a riot.

“Is that so? It looked similar, though. “Well, didn’t these things all look similar?”

It was Lee Jin-ah scratching her head.

When I looked closely, there were traces of incense being burned, but the reason I couldn’t properly check this was because Hairae, who was left alone on the ground, screamed loudly.

“aaah!”

“Hey! What’s the matter!”

I ran towards Hairae.

Then Hairae shouted.

“A cockroach has appeared!”

Self-.

Where Hyrae pointed with his finger, there was a shiny black cockroach the size of a thumb!

Did they get out of the basement?

━Boom boom… !

At that time, Kwangkkwang stretched out his front legs towards the cockroach.

Then, something like a spider’s web spewed out from Kwangkkung’s hand and instantly entangled the cockroach.

It was very neat workmanship.

Anyway.

That’s how the basement exploration ended.

“Can you guys please squirt some water?”

I asked the nymphs if they could use “Nymph Bigi, Spouting Water” To clean the basement.

The nymphs nodded at my words and spouted water from their mouths.

Fuuu-!

The grime in the basement was immediately removed by a very strong stream of water.

Ujikkeun-.

However, while cleaning, the Buddha statue, various dolls, scented candles, and candles were swept away by the water cannon and collapsed and shattered!

“Is this a true story? “Isn’t this like some kind of curse?”

I somehow felt an ominous feeling rising through my body. I tend to believe in superstitions and folk remedies.

That was the reason why he drank the water with the amulet burned when he was suffering as a D-class for his last years.

To me, the sight of the shrine collapsing looked very ominous, and it was similar to the feeling of honey ants clinging to my back.

━Zuji… !

However, the nymphs seemed to be fine.

“No god can be stronger than the power of Zeus, the god of the nymphs… !”

“This Coris thinks so too…” !”

Nymphs have no fear.

Soon, Barbarossa, who was watching this scene, also waved his tail left and right.

“This top imp comrade, Barbar, served the Demon King… ! The devil is the devil of devils… ! No curse can harm Barbar… !”

Suction-.

Barbar seemed to catch his breath, and then he shouted.

「Imp Bigi, the liquor of Hwadun Luxury District… !」

Grumbling-.

I was startled by the flames spewing from Barbar’s mouth.

“Barbar, you! I’m thinking of burning the whole house down… !?”

This was truly like the will of fire that continued.

Such intense fire!

“Muhuh, it’s better if you don’t come any closer…” ! Unless you want to turn into ashes… ! No one can stop the fire-breathing Barbar… !”

Crash, crackle-.

The Buddha statues and dolls burned down, leaving behind bizarre soot and eventually reduced to pitch-black ash.

And that evening-.

A problem arose.

“Arrr, purr, arrr…” !”

“Hey… ! It is said that Koreirae is walking around upside down on the ceiling… !”

“This Coris doesn’t know what the hell is going on… ! It’s even making strange animal noises… !”
