I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

25 – GOD HAND(3)

* * *

As they went through the Heavenly Examination,

He had learned a bit about how to fight against those with psychic powers.

The first rule of fighting against psychics, was to focus only on the opponent’s body. The only thing he should concern himself with was what he could see with his own eyes – the opponent’s body. So, whether the ground was shaking or trees were shaking, he should not pay any attention to it and focus solely on the enemy in front of him.

The psychic looked at him and something flew at him.

The buildings around him were hit, but he ignored it.

And then, the strike.

“Aura Sphere!!!!”

Usually, this would have caused the psychic to lose their mind.

Objectively speaking, the power in his punch was quite strong.

He had fought high school students as a middle school student and had beaten them. In high school, he had fought the guys who used to bully him and had given them a beating. He had even participated in national level competitions in various disciplines. He had truly been the strongest middle school student.

“Damn it. What kind of ability is this?”

I casually raised my smartphone.

And then, a man covered his eyes instantly.

Without hesitation, I knocked him down in one shot.

But there was someone who followed my movements with closed eyes. At times like this, I had to use the second method to fight against people with special abilities.

The second method is this.

I loosely gathered my hands as if I was about to do something.

“Do you use techniques?!”

Then the opponent also immediately gathered his hands to do something.

This is the second weakness of people with special abilities.

“How dare you fight me and play with your hands?!!”

Sometimes people with special abilities gather their hands to do something.

It’s probably something like martial arts or superpowers that come out in comics.

But gathering your hands during a fight is really a stupid thing to do.

I really enjoy it when my enemies do such foolish things.

So, there were three remaining.

The ones floating around the side seemed challenging.

Damn it, I’m weak against those types.

This is when I use the method I developed today.

The third method to mess with people with special abilities.

“I, as the master thief who steals the currently activated abilities, hereby vow. Steal all the abilities currently in use.”

“That’s ridiculous!!! You can steal someone else’s ability?”

“But I made a vow. That means it’s a truth recognized by the heavens!!!”

“Release all the abilities!!!”

Releasing their abilities is all for my benefit.

That’s how I took care of the remaining three.

Phew, I’m exhausted.

“So, what do we do now?”

I looked at the struggling squad of people with special abilities on the ground.

“The situation has become too big.”

If it’s to the extent that it bothers me, they must be low-level psychic trash.

Were these guys called the neighborhood mafia?

They may be called the neighborhood mafia, but they are definitely top-tier psychics.

“If I were to say that their ability is to predict lottery numbers, it’s undeniable that it would blow my mind.”

I don’t know how these neighborhood punks discovered the power of persuasion, but they didn’t seem like they would easily give up.

I brought a few people who seemed like higher-ups with me to Louville.

The saying goes that prevention is better than cure.

I had the intention to interrogate, no, interview these guys.

“Now, guys. It’s time to wake up.”

As I turned up the wake-up trumpet sound, the subjects began to wake up.

“Where am I? What is this place? Ugh. Ah. Please.”

“Ugh, I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it.”

“I want to leave, I want to leave, I want to leave, I want to leave.”

Why, why is this happening?

When the awakened guys showed strange reactions, I gave them a few taps on the ears… no, I gently touched their cheeks.

“Ahh. Feels like I’m going to die. A little more, please.”

“Ah, I almost died. Seriously. Why are there such evil spirits.”

“Heh, heh.”

Then, there were men who made relieved expressions.

What’s with that expression. Men get happy when they’re tapped on the ears?

Could it be that they’re all masochists…?

No, is this also the power of Godhand?

“BL tags are impossible!!!”

From Noble mtl dot com

Absolutely impossible.

I nodded and began the interview.

“Where are you all from?”

“It’s confidential.”

“I pledge as a TS godhand who can turn men into pretty girls. I will annihilate the fire egg of the guy who doesn’t answer today.”

Then, one of the tied-up men burst out in protest.

“Wait, wait!!! I’m a loyal reader since the third generation!!! Let’s negotiate!!! T, TS won’t do!!!”

“The ones who’ve been through it say it’s absolutely impossible at first, but in the end, they end up liking it. Now, become a pretty girl and start the show…”

“We came from Cheongeopdan!”

Cheongeopdan? I’ve never heard of it before.

As if reading my thoughts, the man said this.

“You’ve never heard of it? If you haven’t, then I can’t tell you.”

“What was I saying? Ah, once you become a pretty girl, you start the show with a bang, so let’s start with the broadcasting equipment right away…”

“Because of my vow, I can’t tell you! But if there’s any part that I didn’t vow about not saying, I’ll tell you everything!”

Okay, that’s how it should be.

“Where is your headquarters?”

“64-gil, Seonghwa Road, Central Special District, Seoul.”

“Captain! Captain!”

I raised my hand to silence the others.

“Why do you want to take Nayu?”

“I can’t tell you. But I really feel like telling you!”

“Do you plan to keep taking Nayu?”

“If Nayu fulfills her duty, I’m considering keeping her here.”

Nayu, huh?

Look how he respectfully speaks to Nayu, who has a strong mind-reading ability.

“No, Nayu will come find us on her own. The time is near.”

“The time is near?”

“When Nayu fulfills her vow.”

He said the vow was a promise with the sky.

What kind of promise did Nayu make with the sky?

It’s obvious without even looking. Something about Nayu’s ability. Like predicting the lottery numbers.

She probably made a promise to win the lottery for us. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what I think.

“I bet if you ask, Nayu will act like she doesn’t know anything. Was the vow made by Nayu’s own will?”

“…It is Nayu’s duty.”

Of course, these gangsters signed a contract forcefully.

I can’t let them take Nayu.

Alright. I roughly understand.

“The truth is right here.

Nayu possesses the strongest, most beautiful, and mysterious ability in a world where she can predict lottery numbers. However, these thugs threatened Nayu and forced her to promise to help them win the lottery later. That’s why these ruffians came running hastily when her power was activated today.

Then, a man next to the captain said.

“You look like someone involved in this matter. You must have heard of the Cheon-Geub-Dan at least once, right? Don’t go against the Cheon-Geub-Dan. Even the Ilwolohaakmoon respects our Cheon-Geub-Dan.”

“Well, I just recently learned about this place called Ilwolohaakmoon.”

“What? If it’s a huge martial arts sect like Ilwolohaakmoon, even worldly people should have some knowledge about it.”

But I didn’t know.

There was a reason for that.

My younger sister gave me advice.

“Op-pa, you should never let anyone find out that you’re different from others. If that happens, both you and this world will be in danger. Marapapyas. Oppa. You must not let that be exposed.”

My younger sister was the best shaman I knew.

What she said had never been wrong.

“To avoid being found out, keep your distance from other fortune-tellers, don’t meet the eyes of shamans, and don’t try to learn about them. Knowing someone means inviting their gaze. So let’s continue to live ordinary lives together, just the two of us. Eat together in the same house. Sleep together. And…”

My younger sister left, but her words remained in my memory.

Keep my distance from people with psychic abilities.

Don’t try to learn about them.

I have lived by those words.

“Damn it. If only I wasn’t born with supernatural abilities, things wouldn’t have gotten this complicated.”

That’s why I came to Luaville, the cheapest apartment in Seoul in the first place. There couldn’t be any strong psychics living in a rundown place like Luaville.

But in Luaville, there was the golden legend card, Nayu.

“But is Nayu going to be okay?”

After hearing those words, a man shouted.

“What do you mean Nayu will be okay? Nayu belongs to our Cheon-Geub-Dan.”

“Who says you own someone? Is this guy from the Joseon era or something? Get out of here.”

“I will never obey you! Even if you turn me into a little girl! Even if you turn me into a cute little girl and corrupt me! Even if you make me experience a casting incident while walking on the street! I will never obey!!! So just try it once!!!”

“?”

“?”

Who is this crazy person again?

Could it be…?

I kicked them and said.”

“Get out of here quickly!!! Whether it’s the Thousand Fears Gang or whoever, they will never take away my life-changing opportunity, no, they will never take away Nayu!”

And so, I chased away the pathetic thugs of the Thousand Fears Gang.

***

Nayu lay still on the ground, listening to the voices of the men in the basement.

Among them, there was a voice that Nayu recognized.

“Nayu, voice appreciation.”

It was the voice of a man named Yu Hajin.

A man who had fought against everything in the world, teaching him about the world and how to live without fighting. In return, he endured countless attacks for the sake of Nayu.

And he kept the Thousand Fears that fell upon him at bay.

“Get out of here quickly!!! Whether it’s the Thousand Fears Gang or whoever, they will never take away my life-changing opportunity, no, they will never take away Nayu!”

That man was now standing against the Thousand Fears Gang, vowing to protect himself. With his skills, he surely knew what kind of influence the Thousand Fears Gang had.

Thousand Fears Gang. A group that prevented the Thousand Fears from falling upon those who angered the heavens. They were closely connected to high-ranking figures in politics and business. They controlled the Thousand Fears and also manipulated the political and powerful spheres, making everyone afraid to challenge them.

Of course, Yu Hajin did not know that the Thousand Fears Gang had such power.

But Nayu did not know this fact either.

“Nayu… unexplained… chest pain…?”

Nayu held her chest.

This pain was new to her.

She had never felt this pain even when fighting against the Noble One.

For some reason, she felt that it was a pain she should not have as a nun who resonated with the heavens. So Nayu closed her eyes tightly and suppressed that emotion.

As a representative of the heavens, she must not have any personal desires.

She must be the one to obtain the Thousand Fears that fall upon the people of the world.

And eventually, she would be able to return to the heavens.

With her eyes closed tightly, Nayu endured the falling Thousand Fears that were separating from her. It was too painful, she wanted to scream, but she held it in. It was too painful, she wanted to cry, but she held it in.

Because that was the duty of a nun of the heavens.

“Nayu, sleeping on the street again. Injured all over. Is your head hurting again? Shall I tuck you in like yesterday?”

A gentle voice echoed.

Ah, it was that man’s voice again.

“Nayu, smiling brightly.”

When this voice was heard, the Thousand Fears stopped attacking and the pain no longer lingered. Even more so, the warmth of his hand made Nayu feel good. With that warmth, Nayu muttered with a sense of guilt.

“Concerned Utterances”

“Huh? Why are you worried about me?”

“You’re extremely worried, I tell you!”

And on that day, in the early morning, a massive number of Cheongeom gathered to strike down the rebellious Mangjong who dared to defy the Cheongeam. It was a rather daunting attack even for the Cheonggeom. Three executives fell while initiating this attack.

United as one, the white punishment swiftly descended into the man’s room.

Even Cheonseon trembled at the danger of that strike, and the man muttered.

“Did I complete yesterday’s quest?”

And so, the man began the most serious contemplation of his day.
