I’m the Only One Who Can’t See Ghosts

27 – Cheonma ShinGyo Full Course (2)

My mind is in chaos.

After work, I have to do quests, do laundry, tease Jamsun, and there’s so much to do. But in the meantime, I’m being dragged by these pseudo martial arts practitioners in a black Starax, heading to some shady place.

“Life itself is a blessing, for you are the Cheonma.”

“Existence itself is sacred, for you are the Guru.”

My mind was too chaotic, but I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. If I engage in small talk and get closer to them, maybe these lunatics won’t decide to kill me without a second thought.

I smiled and spoke.

“I’ve heard that everything we do in life is considered a negation. Every physical action is deemed tainted…”

“Life itself is a blessing!!!”

“Existence itself is sacred!!!”

At that moment, the Cheonma otakus started getting excited.

I wasn’t even insulting the character Cheonma.

As the atmosphere became strange, I had no choice but to make an excuse.

“Some chick said something like that.”

“Well, then that chick was wrong.”

The one who said that to me was a girl around the same age as a chick, probably a high school student.

“Yeon-neungryeokja-deul-i malhagil sinsaeng-eun saram-eoseo mannaneun inyeon-eul kkeunhgo saram-eoseo gajil su iss-neun modeun gamjeong-e beoseonaeya sinsaeng-e dadaundeulgido malhajyo.”

“Naboda hwolsshin na-eun san-ae-guna. Geul-eul mannaleo gaggessda.”

A mask filled with negativity trembles.

However, the trembling pleased O Seol-hwa.

Because she believed that she needed to suffer more to atone for her sins.

Bishop O Seol-hwa stood up from her seat and bowed to the Black Star Cup, the sacred relic of the Cheonma Religion that spewed out boundless dark water. The limitless dark water. This liquid, known as the extreme negativity, was the materialization of sacred impurity, just as a sacred demon attains a physical form.

Sacred impurity, quite literally.

The one who could manipulate the limitless dark water, which symbolizes the Cheonma, was the head of the main branch. However, no news had come of such a person appearing.

Nevertheless, O Seol-hwa was waiting.

For someone to raise that cup and ascend to the position of the head of the religion.

Even from here, the Black Star Cup was over 20 meters away.

Yet, the pain started to torment her soul as if it were going to break apart.

“I ask for forgiveness for today’s sins, my Lord.”

O Seol-hwa respectfully bowed her head once again and returned to her seat.

She was a supernatural with such benevolence to bestow mercy upon us.

I truly don’t want to kill her.

But if the client Cheon Geop-dan wished for it, it had to be done.

There was no choice but to do whatever it took to save more lives.

“Still, I want to do whatever I can to help.”

Bishop O Seol-hwa muttered to herself like that before leaving to greet her guest.

This building, called Cheonma Palace, was it?

It was built with black stones and decorated with red dye. It’s amazingly stylish.

Living in a place like this, it’s only natural to be called a Cheonma.

As I looked around, a woman wearing a mask courteously greeted me.

“Welcome to the main branch, Lord Yu Ha-jin.”

“And who might you be?”

“The head of the main branch, Bishop O Seol-hwa.”

A black mask and a black hanbok.

She was a woman who clearly embodied the concept of the Cheonma Religion.

“So, why have you brought me here?”

“I won’t lie. It’s because of a request from the Cheon Geop-dan.”

Cheongeomdan. Those damn thugs.

Since it didn’t work out for them, they brought in an outsider.

“Why? Is Cheongeomdan trying to mess with me?”

“I haven’t heard any request for that yet. The only request is to secure Yuhajin-nim.”

What are they trying to do by securing me?

I am a worthless human as a hostage.

“But if there is something Yuhajin-nim desires, we will fulfill it as much as possible. If it’s a woman, then…”

“Then introduce this building.”

Anyway, it’s clear now.

I had to escape from here as soon as possible.

It was obvious how Cheongeomdan, who almost hypnotized and brainwashed me, would think of me. I had to escape as quickly as possible before retaliating against Cheongeomdan.

“Yes, understood.”

Bishop O Seolhwa politely greeted.

To escape, I had to know more about this building.

Once I knew, I could plan how to escape.

So, with O Seolhwa and a few other important members of the Devil’s Sect, I began the tour of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

First, it was a huge training ground.

“Let me introduce this place first. This is the training hall of the Heavenly Demon Palace, where new disciples learn the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts.”

“So, the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts actually exist?”

“Of course. Starting with Undeath Control, all the techniques that use Negative Energy are the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts handed down from our founding leader.”

Wasn’t the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts only taught to one person?

This is not a martial arts novel!

I wanted to shout in frustration, but as a kidnapped person, I had to stay quiet.

“This is the Herbal Medicine Room. It is a place where various medicinal prescriptions and baths that are imbued with Negative Energy are made. We take pride in being the best at treating injuries received from Psychic Abilities using Negative Energy.”

“I see.”

It was quite a large herbal medicine room. Seeing female doctors occasionally walking around treating patients on foot, it was confusing whether this place was a Devil’s Sect or a Martial Arts Alliance.

Why are these Devil’s Sect people so nice?

“This is the Bishop’s Hall. Four bishops, who are the top executives of the sect, are guarding this place. It’s embarrassing to say this myself, but even if they were to fight against the heavens and the earth, the bishops of our sect would not lose. I’m the same.”

“I’ve noticed that the Heavenly Demon Sect hates Psychic Abilities users. Are the executives all Psychic Abilities users in the end?”

“Two out of the four bishops can open the Gate of Enlightenment. The remaining one has the highest achievement in the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts within our sect. And I can open the Gate of Enlightenment, but I am not a Psychic Abilities user.”

“What the hell is this nonsense again?”

Judging by the reactions of the chick or the pervert fan, it felt like the feeling of someone who can open their ears like a psychic ability. Using the abilities of a psychic even though they’re not a psychic?

When I made a skeptical expression, the bishop opened his mouth.

“A presence other than a psychic can also open their ears.”

“Is that so?”

But even if that’s the case, what can I do about it?

I have to know something about this area.

“Next is here.”

The atmosphere here was different from other places.

While other places were neatly arranged, this place was a space extravagantly decorated. Even the ceiling and columns were adorned with gold leaf.

However, in this huge room, there was only an altar that looked like a fountain. Inside the deep-set altar, there was a black jelly-like substance wriggling, and in the center of the altar, there was a very expensive-looking black glass cup.

“This is the most important place in the main academy. The Unlimited Black Water Chamber. It’s where the most important relic of the main academy, the Black Holy Grail, is enshrined.”

“Is that cup the Black Holy Grail?”

“Yes, that’s correct. Is your soul in great pain? I will soon move it to another place…”

As soon as I heard those words, I ran like crazy.

The most important relic in the main academy?

How can I hold back after hearing that?

I immediately jumped towards the altar with the black jelly-like substance.

That jelly was the slime that was stuck to Jamsuni before.

I pushed through the slime and moved forward.

With that, I quickly obtained the Black Holy Grail.

As soon as I acquired the Black Holy Grail, I shouted.

“Don’t move!!! If I accidentally touch this cup, it will turn to dust like a failed item enhancement.”

This cup is just a fancy-looking glass cup.

It can be easily broken.

Just by holding it, it can be broken.

I had to make sure to convey this fact clearly.

“By the way, I’m the kind of person who can win with scissors even if I throw rock in rock-paper-scissors. If you don’t want to see this wine glass shattered, listen to what I say…”

The atmosphere was strange. As I looked at the executives of the Demon Academy, they were staring at me with expressions of disbelief. And soon, those expressions changed to joy and reverence.

“Eternal glory…”

The man next to the bishop whispered in awe.
