Chapter 172
Episode 172 Jang Hyeon-deok’s splendid vacation
The time when Kim Shin-hwa was talking on the phone with Tudor.
pouring rain.
thunderbolt. dark sky.
Rainwater reaching up to a person’s waist.
And the pitch-black buildings stretching toward the sky and the dazzling neon lights they emit.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Jang Hyeon-deok’s call van makes its way through the waves crashing down on the road.
“Aaaah!”
How many minutes? No, I don’t know how many hours I’ve been screaming. I thought I didn’t have the strength to scream anymore, but I scream again.
My head is pounding. My forehead is hot because of a cold that has been going on for a few days. I can’t think straight.
Bang bang bang!
Someone knocks on the roof of the car.
“Aaaah!!”
Jang Hyeon-deok screams and turns his gaze to the room mirror. Argh! I just saw it for no reason!
People shaped like demons are hanging on Jang Hyeon-deok’s car. The palms and faces pressed against the rear window, those eyes unique to a madman! Those eyes!
People clinging to the car are shouting incoherently.
“Please open! please! Please open it!”
“Take me with you! please! please!”
At first glance, it sounds like a request for help, but looking at their expressions and behavior, you wouldn’t think so. Do not open it! Die! I’m really going to die!
Jang Hyeon-deok tried to increase speed by manipulating the gear again, but the situation was the same as running through water. No matter how hard he steps on the accelerator, the speed does not increase.
Bang bang bang!
“Stop knocking! You fools! “That’s bulletproof glass!”
“Open! Open it!”
“Keeeeek!!”
“Gyaaagh!”
But it doesn’t stop. The cries of the madmen now degenerate into unintelligible shouts and screams. Ouch, help me!
Crumbling-
But where is this place? It is impossible to determine the location because the rain water fills the person up to the waist. Is this a road? Or is it India? if… … .
Crrrrr!!
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, you are pushed to the left by a wave coming out from the side. The car tilts in an instant. The car flips over!
Jang Hyeon-deok suddenly remembers a thought while inside the call van that is about to overturn.
‘How on earth did this happen?’
* * *
2 weeks ago.
“Do you have a fever?”
Jang Hyeon-deok, who was driving a call van, suddenly touches his forehead. It’s not like a cold or body aches, but I feel a slight fever in my forehead.
“Oh, maybe this is it. Is that it? Hehe… … .”
fever of love.
Jang Hyeon-deok thought of those words. Just thinking about her makes her heart beat faster and her face heat up. I’ve never felt this way in my life.
Jang Hyeon-deok is currently on his way from Ansan to Paju. We’re almost there. I guess I can meet her today too, right?
On the seat next to me are gifts and letters from my younger siblings.
Even if it is a gift, it is not a big deal. Crinkly paper crafts and scribbled drawings.
“Cute guys.”
Jang Hyeon-deok gathered them appropriately and pushed them onto the dashboard.
Okay, now that I think about it, it’s all thanks to you guys? I’ll have to introduce you later.
“Hehehe-”
Jang Hyeon-deok starts laughing uncontrollably. He was recently with a woman… … We are enjoying what is called a feeling.
It hasn’t even been a week since we met.
I met her while choosing gifts for my younger siblings living at an orphanage in Ansan.
“Are you looking for something?”
Those were the first words she said to Jang Hyeon-deok. When I first saw her, I just thought she was really pretty.
“Oh, I need a lot, uh, because I have a lot of younger siblings, but what kind of things should I buy for them? uh?”
Jang Hyeon-deok also thought that his answer was a bit of a guess. But she answered kindly.
“These days, a variety of products are being released for different age groups. “I’ll help you choose.”
“Ah, uh, thank you.”
And that day.
Jang Hyeon-deok became close to her without even knowing how they became friends.
She introduced herself as ‘Yeon’.
“A kite?”
“Yes, please call me that.”
That’s an unusual name, isn’t it? That’s a strange name, isn’t it? That’s a pretty name. Ah, this would be nice.
“That’s a pretty name.”
Is this an alias? But it doesn’t matter. Because this is Paju.
Some people always wear masks. I accepted the mask without any problems, but it was just a pseudonym.
Due to the nature of his job, most of the women Jang Hyeon-deok meets are as belligerent as Kim Shin-hwa, have a personality breakdown like Kim Shin-hwa, or are just as crazy as Kim Shin-hwa.

To put it nicely, they are heroines, but they are too scary for Jang Hyeon-deok to deal with comfortably.
In comparison, Yeon… … .
‘It’s a person. This person is human.’
Paju is full of monsters, death, madness and desire.
To meet such a white, pretty, cultured, innocent and pretty woman in this terrible city.
She always smiled shyly and listened to what he had to say.
“You are truly amazing!”
“It’s so cool!”
“also… … Can we meet?”
We exchanged numbers and talked all night long via messenger.
Kim Shin-hwa still has no contact.
‘I guess we can play a little more.’
Yeon was very curious.
I was always studying various things, and as a citizen of Paju, I was also interested in things like religion and mystical experiences.
“Wow, really? “You were a problem solver?”
She was really surprised when she heard that Jang Hyeon-deok was a strong and great problem solver active in Paju.
‘Oh, this isn’t it.’
But it’s not that far from being a problem solver, so wouldn’t it be okay?
Yeon showed a variety of reactions to Jang Hyeon-deok’s words.
I was amazed by the story that Jang Hyeon-deok had the opportunity to learn magic, cheered at the story of him being an explorer of Tanhyeon, full of unknowns and illusions, and was moved by the story that he saved the citizens of Paju by defeating a terrifying monster.
‘Hehe, are you attracted to a rough and mysterious man who stands on the border between adventure and danger?’
Today is the day I have a date with her.
Yeon greeted him with a clean face without makeup and neat clothes.
“I missed you.”
“uh… … .”
“what? “Why are you doing this?”
“Oh, no.”
It was so pretty that I felt dizzy for a moment.
Cheeks and forehead feel hot. Oh my, my face must be red.
He began his date with her, trying not to look pitiful.
“Hyeondeok’s body somehow smells good.”
“Oh, does it smell nice? Uh, perfume, I mean, I sprayed perfume earlier.”
Jang Hyeon-deok stumbled and took a slight step back. Is it because he sprayed a lot of air freshener to get rid of the cigarette smell?
“Hmm, it doesn’t smell like perfume.”
Yeon pushes her face into Jang Hyeon-deok’s arms.
‘Ugh-‘
Jang Hyeon-deok’s face turns red and he hesitates.
Yeon lifted her head from Jang Hyeon-deok’s chest and looked at his face.
“I somehow miss it, and it smells amazing. “It smells really nice.”
“I see, I see, I see.”
Jang Hyeon-deok avoids eye contact and cannot bear to make eye contact. Yeon continued.
“Hyeondeok, what do you do on the weekends?”
“Well, after all, physical strength management and mental training are important. “Reading, and, uh, working out.”
“Wow, I see. Great. “What kind of sport do you like?”
What exercise? Jang Hyeon-deok does not exercise or anything like that.
On days when I don’t have enough time to visit the daycare center in Ansan, I just lie down at home and constantly watch 30 seconds of provocative videos.
“Uh, uh, uh, so-”
I remember what BJ said in a video I watched a while ago.
‘The sport that can appeal to the opposite sex is, of course, tennis.’
“-tennis?”
“Wow, really? “I really like tennis too!”
Yeon is happy. I did it. After all, the answer to all problems is on the Internet. Yeon spoke before Jang Hyeon-deok could say anything else.
“Then, would you like to join the tennis club I’m attending?”
“yes? A tennis club??”
I don’t know how to play tennis or anything like that. I’m not even interested. And meeting people is just a hassle.
On a free weekend, people get together like some kind of insider and play tennis? Nonsense-
“how is it? “Is it not that good?”
Yeon looks at Jang Hyeon-deok with sparkling eyes.
“Oh, of course. I always wanted to join such a gathering. I guess I’m cheap. Because that’s what it is.”
* * *
1 week ago.
Did I overexert myself at a tennis club or something?
My forehead is hot. It’s not a high fever, but it’s definitely running high. It’s not a cold or body aches, so why is it like this?
“Crrr-cook, sniff, sniff.”
The small, wrinkly fixer sitting in the back seat makes strange noises. Jang Hyeon-deok sees his strange behavior and sighs inwardly.
‘Ha, really, why are all my regulars like this?’
There has been no contact from Kim Shin-hwa yet.
Recently, we have received few other clients besides Kim Shin-hwa, but we have not signed an exclusive contract with Kim Shin-hwa.
It’s just that Shinhwa Kim provided generous remuneration, and because she called frequently on irregular schedules, she reduced her regular sales.
Therefore, when we receive a call from a former regular, we sometimes pick up customers other than Kim Shin-hwa.
Today is that kind of day.
“It stinks. “You have scars on your chest.”
“yes?”
The troublemaker in the backseat expresses his discomfort and takes something out of his messy bag.
A small medicine bag containing pills.
‘Ugh. Why are you throwing that in my car?’
It is Nirvana, a mental enhancer that is taken by psychopaths. The night owl swallowed Nirvana in its dry mouth and blinked several times.
“Keuhum, keum, keum.”
A strange firearm shines in the night owl’s blurry eyes.
Then, this time, he takes out the mask from his bag and puts it on. A mask with a filter that fits completely on the face. It is something closer to a gas mask than a mask.
‘Did you say he was a warlock, or an exorcist? Ah, I miss the wizard.’
Although that customer was a regular, I was actually afraid of being cursed, so I couldn’t refuse. The name used as a problem solver is Night Owl. He is a person who has been on active duty since the Great Collapse.
In some ways, it is more ominous than Kim Shin-hwa and scarier than Kim Shin-hwa.
“Write- hu-.”
The gas mask made the night owl’s breathing even more terrifying.
“It’s bitter- hu- divine fever.”
“yes? “Who is that?”
Who is Shin Yeol?
“It’s a new disease.”
It is also called disease-free (Schamanen-krankheit).
Jang Hyeon-deok also knows this word.
“Isn’t that a disease that shamans get?”
“It’s the opposite.” “It’s a disease that a shaman gets before or after he receives God.”
“But what does that have to do with me?”
“W-hu-you’ve been diagnosed with a new disease.”
What are you talking about?
However, Jang Hyeon-deok is a professional in this industry. He answered with a commercial smile in an attempt to pass over the customer’s nonsense.
“Ah yes. okay?”
“If you pay 10 million won, I’ll introduce you to someone who will perform the ancestral rites.”
“no. it’s okay.”
At this point, the smile disappears from Jang Hyeon-deok’s mouth.
It’s not even ‘Do you know the Tao?’, what kind of trick is this?
‘Do you think I’m a fool to fall for the trivial tricks of this pseudo-scam?’
This is a typical tactic of pseudo-religion. In this way, they will introduce you to someone, lure you in, then lock you up somewhere, brainwashing and threatening you.
Those people are also addicted to hallucinations, nonsense, drugs, and even pseudo-religion. You’ve gone as far as you can.
If I drop you off this time, I won’t have to pick you up again.
“Well, we’re all here. Please get off quickly.”
“Even if you leave the recruits alone, it’s better to take off the breast meat.”
“Ah yes. Because there is a temple I go to. “I will make a donation to the monk there and consult with Buddha.”
“Write- hu-.”
The night owl tilts his head for a moment and looks at Jang Hyeon-deok.
The unfocused eyes typical of a madman. I stare at him for a long time, to the point where I feel uncomfortable, and then nod briefly.
Then, he takes something unpleasant-looking out of his pocket.
‘That… … .’
It’s a big rat.
Jang Hyeon-deok was scared and tried to scream, but soon realized that it was a doll and kept his mouth shut. He is a mouse doll with no left arm and the cotton has come out.
The night owl wraps his collar around the mouse doll and whispers. It’s like secretly talking to a rat doll.
“Do you think it would be better not to get involved? Yes, you are right. I’m scared, I’m scared. scared.”
Jang Hyeon-deok thought with a stiff expression, unable to even express his displeasure.
Ah – why are all my regulars like this?
The night owl got out of the car.
Jang Hyeon-deok could not start right away and buried his head in the steering wheel for a while.
“Oh, that really sucks.”
Should I really close down the business completely and sign up exclusively with the wizard? If I asked the wizard to sign a contract with an annual salary system, would he agree to it?
Let’s earn a living under the wizard and escape this crazy town.
No, let’s just immigrate. How much more do I have to earn to immigrate with my younger siblings?
“Tsk. But when will the wizard return?”
How long can I rest?
It’s all good as a wizard, but the schedule is so unstable that it’s a problem.
It used to be a non-issue, but not anymore.
It’s because of the kite.
“Huhuhuhuhu-”
I decided to meet her this evening.
Suddenly, my face is reflected in the room mirror. Rich, washed-out blonde hair and piercings scattered around her ears. And a face with a bright, pathetic smile.
‘Hmm, you look handsome.’
Although he is handsome, his forehead and cheeks are red.
“Oh my. “Hmm, should I put some BB on my handsome face?”
Today is not just a date. A slightly more important day.
Yeon said that she would like to introduce Jang Hyeon-deok to her friends.
“Oh, you said they were friends who go to the same church?”
There is still plenty of time.
Should I stop by the house for a moment and change my clothes? Put something on your face.
‘Hey, you go to church.’
He is completely different from the other people Jang Hyeon-deok has met so far. A completely different person from the amazing solvers who are absorbed in heresy, shamanism, pseudo-cults, and baseless black magic.
Maybe he’s as cool as he’s portrayed in pictures?
“Haha, should I go to church with you?”
What church did she go to?
Jang Hyeon-deok was lost in thought for a moment while driving the car.
“Um, Hwang, what did you say, Hwangjin Church? Hwangmin Church? Hwangrin Church?”
What was it?
