I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

Chapter 23

23 – GOD HAND(1)

* * *

The abandoned chick cried sadly, cheep cheep.

Crying sadly, it got tired and crouched down.

“Cheep, cheep. From the start, from the start, you shouldn’t have treated me kindly···.”

Grasping its chest in unbearable pain, it hunched its shoulders in indescribable loneliness. Why does it hurt so much? Why am I so lonely?

“What is that child, really···? I haven’t seen its face, but it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere···?”

The CCTV room where Yu Hajin was was intact. They didn’t play any comedy shows showing the news of the world or people being sacrificed right before the destruction. Even within the DMZ, a special paranormal phenomenon, the monitor was working fine. Jina-ri peeked at the monitors in the CCTV room, fascinated by the sight.

Well, to tell the truth, it was because she didn’t want to take her eyes off Yu Hajin and endured her fear to gaze at the CCTV room.

That’s why Jina-ri could see clearly.

She saw him discovering a girl on the CCTV and unable to contain himself, wiping away his tears and immediately rushing to the girl’s side once he confirmed her safety.

Jinari’s heart crumbled with each of his actions.

But Jinari couldn’t catch Yu Hajin.

Jinari hasn’t given anything to Yu Hajin.

But Yu Hajin gave Jinari so much.

The time he saved himself when he was betrayed at the Pian Station.

The time he covered him with a coat during the terrifying Murangheuksu.

The time he defeated the strange phenomena in the team with patrols.

The time he protected himself against Gwiwang.

And the time he comforted him once again.

“Beep beep…”

What qualifications did he need to catch him?

If he had more strength, more power, more wealth, would it have been different? Would he have chosen himself instead of the girl he saw on the CCTV?

“You’re safe, miss.”

That was the moment. The troubleshooter sent by his aunt.

He heard the voice of Gray Spider Goon.

“Has the boss already left?”

“Yes. That person is gone.”

“I see. You must be disappointed. From now on, I will take care of everything.”

Goon approached with a friendly smile.

Jinari also smiled softly when she saw that smile.

“But, Goon-ssi.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“If you’re going to weave a spider web, why didn’t you do it properly? Why did you do it so carelessly?”

After hearing those words, Goon burst into laughter, and Jinari did the same.

There was no need for any more words.

In an instant, Goon contracted the spider web he had installed. It was a spider web that he had reinforced to the extreme through the medicine he received from Jin Ga and the vow he made with his life. Even with just one strand, it could cut an ordinary psychic in half.

And there were hundreds of those strands.

This is truly a deathtrap.

Goon thought so amid the joy of murder.

The phoenix had always been associated with the jujak or the three-legged crow. This deity’s powers were condensed into three things: summer of the four seasons, the south of the compass, and the fire of the five elements.

Jinari had the same power.

Jinari could draw strength from the south, and she was blessed in the season of summer. Her ability to control fire was exceptional.

And now, it was summer.

And Jinari stood in the south.

Because of this, the flames surrounding the girl were strong enough to envelop her entire body.

“That’s not using an embodiment of the spirit. It’s just the release of power. And yet, the damage is that severe…?”

With just that, hundreds of spider webs were incinerated. The gap between herself, a mere spider, and an embodiment of a spirit was so vast. Even if she used doping and exerted all her abilities, there was still an insurmountable difference in power. Upon realizing this, Guon immediately tried to escape.

“So, this is the Phoenix? Is this one of the four strongest embodiments of the East?!”

But he couldn’t escape.

His ankles were already engulfed in flames and burned away.

“Ahhh!”

“Please, tell me.”

Jinari asked, tears streaming down her face.

“Whose destiny did you receive to target me?”

* * *

A woman with long white hair loosely tied walked through the corridors of Cheonji. The woman had a suitable muscular build combined with a feminine figure, giving her a remarkable appearance. Even her face was unreal, as if she could be mistaken for a visual of a female idol from a large entertainment company.

In fact, until the day of her enlightenment, she was the most anticipated trainee at a large entertainment company. Whether it was visuals, effort, or talent, she had everything except being a first-class talent. She was so highly anticipated that she was given the nickname “Super Nova.”

Therefore, it was normal for men to steal glances at her and receive a slap from their girlfriends, and for other women to openly gaze at her with admiration and jealousy.

But everyone in the corridor just trembled in fear.

No one dared to look at her.

Some even fainted.

People were looking at an otherworldly transcendent tiger that appeared too terrifying.

From Noble mtl dot com

She was Cheonseon, known as the tiger in Cheonji.

She was the only one in Cheonji who became Cheonseon after the day of enlightenment.

“S-So, I have to bring this man in?”

The tiger muttered in a melancholic voice.

Then the shadow answered.

+Yes. All the newcomers in Cheonji are his followers. He interfered with the Cheonji Selection Test and turned every pilot into his follower. Like other sects and factions, he wants to secure power within Cheonji through the Cheonji Selection Test.+

+He seems to have a deep relationship with the Young Master. He even directly disciplined the Young Master.+

+He killed the Earls without using any abilities. He must not want us to discover his abilities. But it’s truly amazing. He took down the Earls, who were of the same level as you, with just simple martial arts. Perhaps he is a monster on par with you.+

“It’s a monster of the same level.”

The tiger growled in annoyance upon hearing those words.

“Shut up. Who says you can speak for us?”

+But tiger, aren’t you stronger than us?+

“What reason is there for those who have trained their abilities since the day of the awakening to leech off of someone as young as me?”

+We can only close the gate to the Otherworld with your help. You can only live as a human again if you help us!+

How ridiculous.

The tiger let out a bitter laugh.

Could closing the gate really allow him to return to being human?

Even the heavens trembled in fear at the sight of him, a monster that had reached the extreme. How could such a creature return to being human?

The tiger looked at the cosmetics placed in his room. He had been determined to throw them away since they were no longer needed, but he still couldn’t bring himself to do it.

The reflection in the mirror was still himself. Even if people saw him as a god from this world, he always saw himself. The self that had once dreamt of being an idol.

Of course, when he relaxed his eyes, he saw a monster as well.

“Ugh, I’m not this kind of monster!!!”

His phone was filled with videos taken when he was a trainee. The tiger looked at the comments left there until dark circles formed under his eyes.

People who praised his beautiful appearance.

Kind comments left there.

Until the tiger stayed up all night to see them.

Could there be someone who would say kind words to him again?

Could there be someone who would love a monster like him?

As such thoughts crossed his mind, the tiger closed his eyes and muttered.

“Yoo Hajin, was it? Should I look into what kind of man he is.”

The tiger lying on his bed spoke in a melancholic voice.

It was on the way back from the market.

“We took the long way. Damn, we need to find a job quickly.”

But in this world these days, if you don’t have supernatural abilities, you can’t even find a decent job.

With a sigh, I headed towards Lua Ville.

There was a woman collapsed in front of my Happy House Lua Ville.

I wanted to ignore her, but I couldn’t just pass by since she was someone I knew.

“Hey, Nayu. If you sleep outside, you’ll drool.”

“Nayu, it hurts too much.”

Nayu occasionally groaned like this. According to the old man, it was because she was in tune with the sky, so she was overwhelmed with heavenly pain. Since nothing could stop the pain, Nayu had to continue suffering, he said.

“But the old man was a liar. What’s the deal with the January 5th curse? Maybe it’s because of possession that Nayu is like this.”

“It hurts. Nayu, it hurts too much. It hurts.”

Hmm, what should I do at a time like this?

If it’s because of the possessed ghost, there’s no answer.

I really don’t have a way to help.

But if it’s just a physical pain, I can at least buy medicine.

Let’s start by taking the temperature first.

I gently placed my hand on Nayu’s forehead.

That’s when it happened.

“Ah, ah. Nayu, it feels so good. Nayu’s relieved sigh.”

“Why, why is this happening?”

Nayu suddenly grabbed my hand tightly and trembled all over her body. When I tried to pull my hand away in fear, she whimpered and continued to place my hand on her forehead.

“Nayu, it doesn’t hurt. Nayu can’t hear. Nayu, this feels good. This belongs to Nayu.”

“No, it’s my hand, for now.”

Why would Nayu show such a reaction? She’s even trembling in delight. This is only because I touched her hand. It’s a very abnormal behavior. When have I seen such abnormal behavior before? I’ve seen this kind of reaction when psychic abilities are unleashed.

I pondered for a moment.

And I realized the answer.

So, that’s it.

That’s what it was!!!

“Could it be that I’ve awakened my psychic ability too.”

Finally, finally!!!

It was such a long time of persecution.

Now is the time to return to being Gwon Sung Yuha Jin.

“I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be an ability that gives pleasure to women or possessed beings. It’s truly a catastrophic ability…!?”

If I call it a “hitomi ability,” I might get caught, so from now on, I’ll name this ability “God Hand.”

Do the psychics have any objections? Please come to Lua Ville.

Lua Ville’s Sour Punch Jam will take care of it for you.
