The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

chapter 17



Soon we reached our destination.

The number written on the door is definitely number 1631.

It was the 31st room, which was not on the 10th floor.

“Room 1631, there is.”

“Yes, there is.”

Monica had a sharp fighting spirit, and I said like a sigh.

“No. 31…is this the original design?”

Hotel rooms are suites, so each room is different in size.

Therefore, the number of rooms on each floor is not necessarily the same.

So it could have been that there was room for one more room on the 16th floor.

“That’s not right.”

Monica cut my hopes at once.

Yes, I knew the truth.

Because in my eyes the door to room 1631, no.

Because the space itself, where the door was embedded, looked foreign, as if fog were leaking out.

However, if you don’t use the ability, it looks just like any other hotel door.

What the hell is this?

The space itself has an ideal.

It was a first occurrence.

So it was even more sinister.

A field without a single mob.

And a special door that stood in such a field.

As for the game… it’s really a boss room, isn’t it?

“Are you sure you want to go in?”

“then?”

“No, what do you mean? It looks very dangerous, doesn’t it?”

How to maintain your equipment and potions in front of the boss room in the game.

But Monica looked at me with a sneer, as if asking if she would say such a thing now.

“Exorcism is inherently dangerous.”

“That’s how it is.”

“So, are you scared?”

“Ha, are you scared?”

Monica arrogantly put those words into her mouth.

I’m afraid.

It was absurd.

What do you think of me as a real man in the world?

“little? So you take the lead.”

“···Follow me.”

With a sigh, Monica opened the door.

The way he looked at me felt a little colder.

***

“what···?”

“I will check it myself and report back.”

Suyeon Lee frowned at the words of the teaching assistant who was following Class A.

According to him, the members of Class A suddenly disappeared.

Even inside a closed hotel.

Of course, that was impossible.

“There will be nothing there…”

The training center regularly conducts research on the horses that exist in this theme park.

Since it is used as a training space for trainees, it is necessary to leave a suitable level of hemp.

It was to exorcise the spirit that had become powerful by accumulating karma, just in case.

And all the underground emperors in the Dion Hotel that the trainees figured out.

But even that emperor, didn’t those two exorcise splendidly?

“·······”

Lee Soo-yeon organized her thoughts.

No demons were ever found on the ground floor except for the lobby.

So, unlike the basement, there were no CCTVs installed on the ground.

I thought it wouldn’t be that much of a threat.

In fact, it was because no problems had arisen in practice over the past few years.

furthermore,

“Where exactly did you disappear?”

“It’s at the end of the corridor on the 16th floor.”

The place where they disappeared was also a question for Lee Soo-yeon.

16th floor of a 20-story building.

If you were going to find a horse, it is common to search from the 20th floor.

But why did he go to a floor that was neither one nor the other?

As if you know what’s there.

“No, maybe…”

Lee Soo-yeon confirmed the CCTV video record that was illuminating the hotel’s underground casino.

Turn the video back, the time period when Monica and Kang Jin-woo were still there.

And I found something.

After Monica defeats the Emperor.

It was the sight of Kang Jin-woo picking up something inside the casino.

But I couldn’t figure out exactly what I was picking up.

It was because it was installed at the level of checking the location and safety of trainees, so the image quality was not that good.

“then···”

Did Kang Jin-woo and Monica go to the end of the 16th floor because of the object they found there?

And disappeared there?

Doubt deepened.

Soon, however, Lee Soo-yeon came up with a possibility.

There was a ‘Ma’ that could reproduce the same phenomenon as now.

But that was never a positive possibility.

That moment.

“Inspector!”

The assistant’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.

The urgent-looking voice soon spewed out the possibility Lee Soo-yeon had thought of as a voice.

“Traces of disconnection found!”

Disconnection.

It refers to a space that one cannot normally enter or even observe.

However, if the observer is nearby under certain conditions.

Severance begins to exist for the first time, revealing the side of the devil.

An example of a common ghost story is that there is a classroom that can only be seen at night.

Concealing and hiding the space itself, it was one of the characteristics possessed by demons with a strong sense of closure.

however.

Contrary to the stories in common ghost stories, the horse possessing that characteristic was by no means an ordinary individual.

No matter how bad it is, it is not an easy task to take over the space itself and erase its existence.

Therefore, in terms of age, it is at least Qing age or higher.

Or a space where monsters or monsters could hide, that was the severance.

“I will go.”

So, Lee Soo-yeon moved directly.

Either way, it was an enemy that could not be dealt with at the level of trainees.

***

“Isn’t there anything special?”

I looked around the room and said.

Outside the door, it seemed as if something would jump out at any moment, but inside, there was only worn-out furniture.

I can’t see the level with my eyes, and there is no response to the spirit detection skill.

In addition, the structure of the room was the same as the other rooms, so it was unavoidable that the pulse was lost.

“·······”

Monica also looked around the room suspiciously.

She frowned as she opened the broken closet door.

“Strange.”

Monica touched the furniture one by one with a disgusted face.

But no matter how hard you try, only dust will fly.

Nothing like it came out, let alone an order.

So I’m trying to give up early and go back to where I came in.

“hmm?”

The door I entered was closed.

Did I come in with the door closed?

No, absolutely not.

I didn’t do the stupid thing of blocking the escape hatch myself in a state where there might be something inside.

I tilted my head, and suddenly, with some ominous prediction, I opened the quest window.

Then, as expected, the contents were written there.

<B: Complete the exorcism practice!>

– Difficulty setting is complete!

– Rewards are greatly increased!

“f*ck…”

The quest to beat Kim Da-young was D-class.

It’s a B-class quest out of nowhere.

I guess this was the boss room.

“what’s the matter?”

“uh? Well, the door closed on its own.”

“A misunderstanding, isn’t it?”

I firmly shook my head.

Then Monica’s gaze changed sharply.

She fixed the window and went to the door.

“How is the door?”

Can you feel the power of the devil?

that’s what I was asking

But the door itself had no markings.

i.e. a simple object.

“Nothing.”

“Then I’ll open it.”

Maintaining her sharp momentum, Monica threw open the door.

what was beyond it.

“···room?”

It was another room.

I frowned.

The location of the door was obviously the door we entered.

However, the fact that rooms are connected means that the space is distorted.

Did you know that the spirit could do something like this?

“What is this again?”

“···I don’t know either.”

In response to my question, Monica said that with a proud face.

“Didn’t you have an exorcism experience?”

“About a year… I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Heck, Monica is at most the age of a newcomer to society.

How long did she have to work as an exorcist?

So I decided to rely on my own experience rather than Monica.

“Then let’s go.”

I spoke to Monica, who had only opened the door and stopped.

But this time, she was hesitant to move on.

“wait.”

Monica opened her mouth a few times before pulling out the tablet to see if it would work.

And using a translator, he wrote down what he wanted to say to me and showed it to me.

“You mean the space in front of me could be the inside of the demon?”

Monica nodded.

In other words, going forward is no different from entering the body of a monster.

But in my view it was already too late.

If you’re going to worry about that, you should have done it before you entered this room.

“I have to go anyway. I mean this. After all, it’s a structure where you can’t come out if you don’t move forward.”

“How do you know that?”

“I’ve seen it before.”

“really···?”

Monica gave me a puzzled look.

But it wasn’t a lie.

Devil’s Fantasy Palace, Elf World Tree Labyrinth, Archmage’s Trial, etc.

The technique of using distorted space and time to tie enemies together was a common method in the fantasy world.

And the simplest way I’ve solved them is.

To catch the magician hidden in the maze.

“We need to find the demon that imprisoned us here and exorcise it. And he will be right here.”

“mmm…”

When I said it confidently, Monica let go of her doubts and drooled in serious thought.

“okay.”

Soon she agreed and we left the door and entered a new room.

The room there was almost identical to the original one.

Only one.

Except for another door being made in the wall where there shouldn’t be a door.

And when you open that door, another room comes out.

“Keep going. Don’t hesitate.”

After all, there was only one door leading to it.

A one-way street.

After we passed through more than 10 rooms, the scenery changed.

What came out this time was the hallway of the hotel.

It was where we stood before entering the room.

“Out, did you come out?”

“No, look at the number on the door.”

It couldn’t have ended that easily.

All the hotel rooms lined up along the hallway had only the number 1631 engraved on them.

This also means that it is one of the distorted spaces.

And the change was not only that.

After a long time, my spirit detection skill was responding.

A narrow corridor about 10 meters ahead.

There were three spirits around level 15 gathered there.

“There is a command in front. three.”

“Okay, I did.”

Monica tried to jump right in front of her.

I put my hand in front of her.

Monica’s disgruntled gaze turned to me.

“why?”

“This is their space. You can’t move hastily.”

The labyrinth was always like that.

Having a treasure in front of you meant that there was a trap.

The fact that the enemy’s back was exposed meant that someone was aiming for my back.

“then···?”

“Let’s move forward slowly. Then you will come on your own.”

Over there is a level 15 white spirit.

Since Baengryeong had just acquired intelligence, his behavior pattern was extremely simple.

They only attack humans when they see them.

It was no different from a low-level skeleton.

“Giik!”

When the distance decreased to around 5 meters, they reacted as expected.

“Hey hey hey!”

Along with the return, three white spirits, whose arms were transformed into sickles and spears, flew like a darting arrow.

But this is a narrow hallway.

In addition, Monica’s weapon, which could be said to be stronger than them, was a spear.

A battlefield that is so advantageous to us.

So I grabbed a spanner and stuck to Monica’s side.

There was no way the owner of the labyrinth would leave this advantageous war situation unattended.

“Die!”

And the moment Baekryeong confronts Monica.

The door to the room on both sides, which had been firmly closed, opened at the same time.

What came out of it were two other white spirits.

For an instant, Monica’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.

“Just pay attention to the front!”

I hit one of them on the back with a spanner before Baekryung reached her.

“gig!”

One white spirit disappeared with a short return, and I immediately aimed for the other side.

Although his hand was approaching Monica before he knew it.

“-!”

I was faster than him.

I stupidly broke the exposed head with a spanner.

I felt it several times, but there was almost no sense of impact.

It feels like breaking a thin film.

Compared to hitting a monster, it’s at the level of hitting the air with a club.

However, the damage was surely received, and the two white spirits disappeared from both sides.

“Whoa…”

I let out a sigh of relief.

I laughed at it because it was Baekryung, but it was because it was surprisingly dangerous.

And I turned my gaze forward.

“·······”

Monica was staring at me.

Three Baengnyeong had already been skewered and destroyed.

“why?”

“The door opens. Did you know?”

said Monica, looking at the open door on either side.

“Right before opening. You know what my abilities are.”

Monica nodded.

However, if my skills were fully displayed, I should have known this a long time ago.

Spirit detection had a range of 20 meters.

However, no spirits were detected here, unless they could be seen.

Perhaps it is because this is a distorted space.

“·······”

Meanwhile, Monica looked at me and pursed her lips.

Then the mouth finally opened.

“···thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

Monica said it with difficulty for some reason, but I answered lightly.

“Then let’s keep going.”

The corridor was still strangely long.
