Episode 28
Then, as I walked down a street with surprisingly few people, I was able to reach a room.
As I entered the door, there was a middle-aged woman wearing a white gown.
She looked at me with her eyes dimly open behind her glasses and then smiled faintly.
“Welcome. Ha Cheon-seong County. Please take off the handcuffs. “It’s not handcuffs when you’re face to face with someone.”
The moment I said that, I lightly cut off the handcuffs.
Then, I pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down, and Lee Han and Seongah followed suit next to me.
The rest seem to be waiting outside.
“How was the way there? “When I heard the news, I deliberately asked people to avoid the place.”
“For some reason, there was no one there.”
“I tried to be considerate. “Isn’t it really uncomfortable to be looked at by people?”
She laughed and placed a glass of juice in front of me.
“I am Lee Joo-hee, director of the Phantasmal Species Research Institute. Nice to meet you.”
“It’s a river castle.”
After briefly saying hello to Lee Joo-hee, she turned to the two people next to me.
“It’s okay for Mr. Lee Han and Miss Seong-ah to leave.”
“But Warden.”
“It’s okay.”
“Aunt Joo Hee, it’s your nature to not touch your body. “Because I really need this kid.”
After saying her last words, Seongah went outside with Lee Han.
Lee Joo-hee, looking at the two people, smiled.
“I heard about it, but it really seems like the phantom species has progressed. “There are often phantom species on the human side, but this is the first time I’ve seen them with my own eyes.”
“I’m sorry, but I only halved it.”
“I know. “That’s why I called you.”
Lee Joo-hee said that and placed a kit in front of me.
“I made it in a hurry. “This is a kit that will help you find out whether you will become a fortune-teller or not in the future.”
Well, I made something like that in a short period of time.
As I was looking at her with strange eyes, Lee Joo-hee had a bitter smile on her lips.
“I created it in the hope that it would be possible to distinguish between phantom species that might not become a god of decline. What I found out was that all phantom species had the potential to become a god of extinction. “Thanks to you, I will see the light just this once.”
Is it true that the illusion hunters also tried to find a compromise with the illusion species?
“If Sayangshin wasn’t the cause of the epidemic, we wouldn’t be doing this.”
I received the kit from Lee Joo-hee, who was smiling bitterly, and put my finger inside it.
At that moment, blood seeped into the kit along with a tingling sensation, and Lee Joo-hee smiled lightly after holding it up and checking it.
“Congratulations. “It turns out that there is absolutely no chance of you being rejected.”
After saying that, Lee Joo-hee opened a can of juice and asked me.
“Then what should we do next? Do you plan to continue your job as a fantasy catcher?”
“for now.”
“Miss Seong-ah would say she likes it. Because it seems like you like it. If possible, I’d like to research you as well, but… “It’s a pity that Lady Seong-ah has already left the threat.”
“Doesn’t Ho Seong-ah have a pretty high position here?”
“I guess you don’t know about Lady Seong-ah? Lady Seong-ah is the eldest daughter of Baekho, a 4th generation family of illusion hunters. She is a family most famous for its prowess. Recently, I heard that the Baekho family is looking for strong people to succeed them. Her legitimate successor, Lady Seong-ah, doesn’t seem to be very interested in catching illusions, so she probably ended up like that.”
I thought she was from a fairly high-ranking family, but from the start, she was connected to some pretty important people.
And find a successor from such a high-ranking family.
Maybe I should talk about this with Seong-ah.
“What about Lee Han?”
“He is the 8th generation master of the spear mastery and the only son of the Black Tiger family. “He may not be as good as Lady Seong-ah, but Lee Han is also from a good background.”
Is that why the masked guys were having such a hard time?
“This is basic common sense to illusion hunters, but what you don’t know is even stranger.”
The moment a question appeared on Lee Joo-hee’s face, I calmly pointed to my forehead.
“When the phantom species invaded my body, some of my memories were lost. That part is ambiguous. “I even forgot where the headquarters was.”
When I naturally lied, Lee Joo-hee looked suspicious for a moment, but soon got over it.
I guess he doesn’t want to touch it in any way.
“There’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
“I will answer everything I can.”
“Do you know where the phantom species called Hwachoseon is?”
Lee Joo-hee paused after hearing my question.
It was as if he was seriously asking that question.
“I may ask, but you’re not planning on going to Hwachoseon, are you?”
“I’m going.”
“You’re crazy. It’s an act of suicide. “Have you forgotten everything about Hwachoseon?”
“Should I say I forgot, I have no memory at all. But right after my body became like this, I was told to go to Hwachoseon.”
As Lee Joo-hee continued to speak with a moderate amount of lies, she made a strange expression.
“Could it be that there is something among the phantom species that gathers around the flower ship?”
I felt like I had created a new misunderstanding, but it was none of my business.
Because that’s not what I wanted to know.
“Who on earth is Hwachoseon?”
“Hwachoseon is the greatest enemy of our fantasy hunters. It is a phantom species that even the strongest phantom catcher, Hobaeksan, could not kill. “It is no exaggeration to say that because of that one phantom species, the phantom species began to confront humans.”
After saying that, she crushed the can she had finished drinking.
Hobaeksan, the strongest illusion catcher, this woman is good at spitting out the information I need.

‘Is this the role of a worldview narrator?’
Although what she said was basic common sense in this world, I guessed what her role was and listened silently.
“Originally, the purpose of the illusion hunters was to hunt only low-ranking gods, not fantasy species. However, from the moment Hwachoseon decided to fight against humans, numerous phantom species began to attack humans, and as a result, the illusion hunters were destined to have to fight not only the evil spirits but also the phantom species.”
Lee Joo-hee covered her face as if she didn’t want to even imagine, with a heavy breathing sound.
“For some reason, it is resting now, but if the Hwachoseon moves again, there will be no one to stop it anymore. That Hobaeksan is also eventually infected with the infectious disease and dying. So please stop doing things that offend Hwachoseon.”
While Lee Joo-hee spoke in a requesting tone, I thought about what she said and then continued.
“Sorry, my common sense was short. Can you help me a little bit? “A book or a class.”
When I accepted it obediently, she looked a little relieved.
“Starting tomorrow, I will register for classes for prospective fantasy hunters. “At least take that and fill your common sense.”
“I’m fine.”
They said they would provide me with information, so I accepted without hesitation as there was no reason to refuse.
“Then let’s keep in touch here. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. “Once you go outside, a guide will come.”
At the last word, I got up and walked outside.
Before opening the door, I glanced at Lee Joo-hee, and at the end, she said, ‘Don’t even think about touching the flower ship.’ I left her and went out.
“I’m here? Didn’t something happen to you?”
When I came out, Seong-ah, who was waiting in front, started making a fuss.
I left her alone and talked to Lee Han, who I thought I could communicate with.
“Why did I end up like this? I asked you to take a class for preliminary phantom hunters to learn more about phantom species. Oh, and there is no chance of becoming a failure.”
“Yes, we also received the news via text message. “They told me it wouldn’t be a problem if one of us would accompany them for a while.”
“Me! Me! “I’ll go with you!”
As Seong-ah eagerly raised her hand, Lee Han nodded with a bitter smile.
“okay. Seong-ah will go with me, and I will go to report first. Ha Cheon-seong, you too should go in and rest today.”
After parting ways with the two people, I followed the guide and entered the room that Lee Joo-hee had prepared for me.
It was a simple room with only one bed.
I sat up on the bed and immediately looked down at my right arm.
It was said that the arm in which the phantom species had progressed was clearly infected with power.
‘The day went by quite quickly, but there was a lot of important information.’
I slowly began to reflect on the information I gained today.
Once again, I pictured in my head the worldview unique to this level, including fantasy species, spectral gods, and fantasy hunters.
‘I was used to a lot of information being forcibly injected, but this floor still had an unusually large amount of information.’
Sword King. I understand why you stayed on the safe zone floor for so long to gather information.
It was easier to challenge than when I was a witch, but it seemed like it would be more difficult to beat all the floors.
‘It’s a pain to move around this floor recklessly. The best thing to do is to gather as much information as possible as it goes along. Above all, until we find out the location of the flower ship, which is the goal of the floor.’
After coming to that conclusion, I went to sleep first.
I knew that if I disappeared here and now, there would be an uproar, so the Heavenly Emperor decided to be quiet.
* * *
The next day, I headed to the prospective fantasy catcher class with Seong-ah, who had been visiting since the morning.
Seong-ah smiled, and as I walked along the hallway, I saw a student quickly lowering his head every time he met her.
It certainly seemed like Seong-ah was a person of high status in this world.
They showed interest in me walking with Seong-ah, and after I participated in the preliminary illusion catching class, word spread quickly about me.
“Phantomoma?”
“No, it’s someone who has become a semi-phantom species.”
“Is there such a thing as a semi-phantom species? Isn’t this just a human phantom species? Why is it so dangerous… … .”
“Seong-ah is taking you around. “There must be a reason.”
Three days have already passed since I gradually learned the common sense of this world even as many words were exchanged.
Perhaps because I had only participated in class for the past three days compared to the buzz, the students in my class were slowly losing interest in me.
However, instead of the prospective illusion catchers, there were people who were interested in me.
Those were current fantasy hunters.
Some of them often came to visit me, and they investigated and discussed my condition, which had turned me into a half-phantom species.
Perhaps thanks to my quiet behavior over the past three days, his wariness towards me seemed to have decreased little by little.
Above all, in this world I am originally a fantasy catcher.
Even though they were F-class, they had experience as illusion hunters, so their vigilance seemed to have relaxed more quickly.
‘Ah, this is starting to get out of hand.’
Maybe it was because I stayed quiet and took classes for three full days, but I was starting to get tired of just waiting.
‘The Sword Kings said they had already gathered information. This floor is definitely a structure that will take time.’
For someone like me, who has been going through the floors quite ignorantly, this floor was more boring than I expected.
Even in the perception of a fantasy catcher, I thought I was just a fantasy catcher with half of the fantasy breeding process. As usual, I entered the pre-illusion catching classroom with Seong-ah.
And soon I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Ha Cheon-seong?”
“Bambi.”
“Haha, now I’m a magician again, but I prefer to be called that.”
I never would have thought that this guy would have caught up with me.
Well, Bambi is also a veteran returner.
It must not have been that difficult to get here.
fantasy,
