I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

29 – Full Course of the Thousand Demon Religion (4)

* * *

I sat at the table in the Bishop’s office and pondered.

These thick ledgers and documents, they all reek of money.

As soon as I smelled the scent of money, laughter escaped from me involuntarily.

“hehehe.”

I will now show them.

The Thousand Demon Arts, the Extortion of the Thousand Demons.

I unfolded the first page of the ledger. Bishop Osolhwa, who politely folded his hands, was standing beside me. If there’s something I don’t know, I should ask right away.

“Wow, the profits are this high?”

I never expected to see such an enormous number as 10 billion. Is this for real? My heart is pounding like crazy right now.

“From the donations of the believers, contracts for battles, and profits from appropriate diversification of investments.”

“Indeed, diversification.”

And I continued to skim through the ledger.

Upon closer examination, I found that there was a deficit of over 1 billion.

“Huh? A deficit of 1 billion?”

“I apologize, my Lord. It’s our mistake.”

I quickly glanced up from the ledger.

First of all, money is being spent on a place called the Thousand Demon Academy.

“Where is the Thousand Demon Academy?”

“It’s an educational institution that teaches children who have suffered from abilities.”

I quickly turned on my smartphone and looked up the Thousand Demon Academy. It seemed to be a place that teaches children who have experienced disabilities due to their abilities.

Unbelievable.

Even parents were so afraid of retaliation from those with abilities that they abandoned their children.

Like Jamsun and Nayu.

“If a child who has been attacked by someone with abilities is considered a child who stands against them, can the academy handle that retaliation? They say those with abilities are cruel and obsessive. So, they should retaliate thoroughly as well.”

“To protect the people from those who have awakened.”

In that moment, the gaze of Osulhwa became sharper.

“That is our law.”

“I see. Then, what about the Thousand Demon Medical Center?”

The Thousand Demon Medical Center also costs a lot of money.

What is this place doing again?

“The Thousand Demon Medical Center…”

After listening to a lecture from Osulhwa for an hour, I felt something. These guys are not sorcerers. They are just a self-defense group and a volunteer organization. If they live so kindly, why do they have to carry the character for ‘demon’ with them?

I also looked into real estate, but it was the same as the books.

Everything was putting up a good front.

Or maybe the only corrupt business in this town is the real estate.

“Sigh.”

Even if I call myself trash for abandoning my younger brother, I couldn’t bring myself to embezzle this much money. For me, if I don’t have money, I can just starve for a day, but these people would die immediately without this money.

But I wasn’t one to give up so easily.

Who am I right now? The leader of a pseudo-religion, aren’t I?

And such leaders usually live off the donations of their followers.

“I’ve looked at the books and real estate. Before leaving, there’s one more thing I want to do.”

“Please speak, Lord.”

I can’t leave like this.

If I leave without making a single penny, I won’t be able to sleep tonight due to frustration.

I’ll be so frustrated that I might unplug the ethernet cable when Jamsoonie plays Ranked Game.

“Gather the believers who want to meet me. I will give them offerings.”

“If you mean the believers who want to meet you… everyone wants to see Lord.”

“There are those who are in a hurry. People who feel like they can’t wait any longer, like they’ll go crazy if they don’t meet the leader right away. Bring those people.”

If they are people who are desperate like that, they’ll probably be satisfied with my inexperienced acting.

And if they can make offerings, they must be well-off believers.

If I’m receiving donations from those believers, I won’t feel guilty!!!

From Noble mtl dot com

I’ll become even poorer!!!

And so, my Thousand Demons Religion sponsorship broadcast began.

* * *

The man, who was simply referred to as the nameless one because he had no name, ran through the corridor. The blood of the demon king he had just killed was splattered all over his arm, but he had no time to clean it.

“Someone who lifted the Black Star Goblet has appeared?”

It had been 500 years.

It had been 500 years since the birth of the Celestial Demon Body.

Just thinking about that fact made the heart of the nameless one beat rough.

Excitement and anticipation and fear.

It was a feeling mixed with these three emotions.

Who would the new leader be?

Would they change the direction of the Celestial Demon Religion?

Would they despise the weak and only spare the strong?

Would they be cruel and show no mercy?

Would they distort the legacy of the previous leaders that the nameless one had been loyal to?

If that’s the case…

The nameless one was surprised by the rebellious emotions he had and lifted his head. He had to meet them once. He had to personally see what kind of existence they were.

That’s how the nameless one looked at them from a distance.

A man who could truly be called handsome was sitting on the leader’s seat.

“You gathered the dying followers before their souls disappeared.”

The dying followers.

They were the followers who had been attacked too harshly by the supernaturals, and even the healing of the Celestial Demon Religion couldn’t save them. Their souls were on the verge of extinction, corrupting to the point where even their fellow followers shunned them.

They were such pitiful beings with nothing and only the annihilation of their souls remaining.

But the leader treated them very kindly.

“Wow, ten thousand won donation, thank you… No, thank you for the ten thousand won support.”

The leader also treated the girl with the terrible soul in front of them kindly.

Of course, it couldn’t be helped. Yu Hajin couldn’t see ghosts.

To Yu Hajin, the girl in front of her was just her sponsor.

And if she wanted to continue the broadcast for a long time, she had to be kind to her sponsor.

But the nameless one didn’t know about that fact.

To speak kindly and not hurt the followers even when seeing their disgustingly rotten souls like that.

The nameless one had to look at the ceiling for a moment, overwhelmed by the emotions surging inside him.

And in the next scene, Daehobup couldn’t shut his mouth.

“A ten-thousand won reaction is a thousand demons embraced.”

The leader embraced the girl with a completely corrupted soul.

Daehobup himself was hesitant to even touch a soul like that.

But the leader didn’t hesitate.

As he did, the demonic spirit filled with terrible lust that clung to the girl’s soul scattered and disappeared in an instant. Feeling liberated, the girl who received the embrace started sobbing.

“It’s unbelievable. My Lord. Thank you. My Lord. My Lord. My eternal Lord.”

“If you liked it, subscribe and like. No, if you liked it, let’s meet again next time.”

The leader met the congregation on the brink of annihilation.

This time, it was a young boy protecting his cursed mother.

“Candy? Thank you for the candy support. Your mother is very sick, right? Well, if it’s candy support, I should pray for your mother to get better. Come, mother, hold my hand.”

My Lord, who received the candy and treated the boy’s mother.

My Lord, who doesn’t hesitate to hold on even to such a terrible soul.

“A hundred thousand won! Thank you for the hundred thousand won support. Come, is your grandson sick? Can I hug your grandson just once? And a hundred thousand won seems too much, so let’s just take half. Come, let’s take a picture with your brother. Come here. Sit on my lap. Thousand demons shot. Understand that I can’t show my face.”

They say that someday, all three thousand realms will attain enlightenment.

But as long as the thousand demons exist, today is not that day.

That day will not come as long as they exist.

Daehobup looked around his surroundings.

Beside Daehobup, three other bishops were shedding tears.

And the high-ranking officials of the main church standing behind them were the same.

And he himself was shedding tears as well.

“My Lord. My Lord.”

“I will just follow. My Lord.”

“My eternal Lord, the Lord who will be obeyed by the ten thousand demons.”

Daehobup suddenly found himself kneeling.

The other three bishops and officials were the same.

After giving them a nod, the leader quickly escaped from the Thousand Demon Palace.

“Today’s broadcast ends here.”

“What? Lord, Lord?”

The momentarily startled bishops couldn’t hold onto the leader.

I escaped from Cheonma Religion like that.

It wasn’t until nine o’clock that I could get off at the bus stop near Luaville.

It’s been a while since I’ve worked this late.

“But it’s alright.”

Laughter spontaneously burst out. I think anyone would laugh if they had one million won in cash, sponsored by Cheonma Religion, and with candies. Who would have thought I had such a talent?

“Oh, should I debut as Vtuber?”

Debuting with the concept of Cheonma.

When the broadcast starts, I’ll appear shouting Cheonma’s reign, and when banning the scammers, I’ll shout Cheonma Deathbeam.

“Should I buy broadcasting equipment?”

The laughter doesn’t stop.

Today, I should call Jamsooni and Mr. Ahjussi and have a barbecue party.

And so, I arrived in Luaville.

“Hey! Why are you so late! Did you take the wrong way? Hurry and come!”

“Uh, Jamsooni, come in.”

Today, of all days, why does Jamsooni’s straightforward tone of voice sound so nice?

Money is really, really amazing.

“Jamsooni. Shall we eat meat today?”

“Pork belly? Great, I love it. I’ll handle the green onions… wait, no. Did you meet a woman?”

“I met both women and men in various ways.”

I pulled out the one million won I received as sponsorship from my pocket.

“Anyway, the important thing is the fact that I earned a lot of money. Nayeoya!”

“Nayeoya, go quickly!”

Nayeo, with her blue hair and blue eyes, came running down the stairs as if she were sliding. Lately, Nayeo has been listening to me very well. If I build a little more rapport, maybe she’ll tell me the lottery numbers?

“hehehehe.”

Lottery, one billion won, penthouse!!!

I spoke to Nayeo, imagining a happy scene.

“Nayeo, shall we eat meat today?”

“Nayeo, tasty meat nom nom!”

Something smelled hot at that moment.

Turning my back, I saw Jian Sun burning my one million won.

“Yo!!! What are you doing???!!!”

“Where did you get such a dirty thing? It seems like you’ve been with some very dirty things. You should have cleaned it better. The smell still remains. We can’t handle this money properly, so give it to those lowlifes and they’ll be disgusted and spend it all in one day. You’re too strong, so you don’t understand the hearts of the weak.”

“Money, money is all dirty. Yo!!!”

I was rolling around in front of the burning one million won.

Nayu was amazed by it and rolling around next to me.

“Nayu, rolling around!”

“So when are we grilling the meat? Should I go up and make the fire?”

“Damn it, Kim So-jin!!!”

My Super-Taekmin night was smashed into Jian Sun’s head.
