Chapter 332
Episode 332: Human Mutilation
“Hey, Jang Hyeon-deok. “What do you mean?”
This is a question I asked Hyeondeok Jang a while ago.
At that time, Jang Hyeon-deok smiled naturally and answered as follows.
“So, yesterday I met a woman, and she looks like her!”
That’s a very cool answer.
Do you think it’s him?
If it were like usual, I’d be like, ‘Heh, you stupid guy.’ I would have reacted to that extent, but today the situation is a bit different.
“… … .”
While Jang Hyeon-deok and I were away for a while-
There was an unknown intruder in the [Starving Mansion].
Not only did he infiltrate my house with feet of clay-
He harassed Heo Sang-hyeon, who was left home alone, and escaped from the starving mansion without leaving any trace.
“Shinhwa? I wasn’t harassed, I just had a conversation. It wasn’t that bad of a conversation… … .”
This is a challenge for me.
But it turns out that Jang Hyeon-deok sneaked out of the house without my knowledge and told an unknown woman how to access the Starving Mansion?
“Haha, you stupid guy.”
Instead of hitting Jang Hyeon-deok, I said three words in a polite voice.
“You told me not to go out of the house- How can you be a bastard with a hole in your head, so red-faced- What you do is go out and attract a woman you don’t know to your house-”
Puzzle! Squeeze!
A magical spark that leaps in response to my anger.
“Shinhwa… … ! “Please calm down.”
“Ugh. yes.”
“Ah, wizard!”
“what!”
“I wasn’t the one who dragged her in! “It’s just a complete coincidence!”
“Aha, just by chance, an unknown woman I met outside a day ago infiltrated my house the next day and harassed Heo Sang-hyun?”
“Shinhwa, so it’s not harassment… … .”
“Really? “I’m not a fool. Why are you telling me the wizard’s house address?”
“Ha, you’re stupid, right?”
“Ah, then. Place a bet! bet!”
“Ahh- bet? Ok, fine. “Let’s check it out.”
* * *
End of flashback.
So I am here now.
Actually, the foolish bet with Jang Hyeon-deok doesn’t matter.
The problem is that the unknown person is in contact with someone related to me.
‘Hmm, but I have a feeling I’m going to lose the bet.’
Magic is a powerful force, but it is not invincible.
Yang Seo-ho’s deceptive durability ignores all types of magic, and the conqueror’s amazing sword skills cut through even magical techniques.
Although they no longer exist, the cult members of the Gourmet Expedition share the ability to devour magical energy.
And there are cases like Gapureum.
‘You were lucky enough to break through the barrier’s vulnerability? ‘Damn, are you kidding me?’
[Amazing Discovery] and [Accidental Luck] traits.
Gapureum can
‘But that’s not all, is it?’
The current Gapurum is performing better than the journalist NPC I remember.
I guess I’ll have to catch it to check it out properly.
I walked up to Lee Ha-seo’s ear and whispered. The best keyword to convince this crazy doctor of science is… … .
“teacher.”
“to? Shinhwa? Shinhwa? You’re so close… … .”
“From now on, we will be doing human mutilation. “Can you please cooperate?”
“Hah!? Joe, great! I am! What should I do!?”
“Shh, just stay still.”
Lee Ha-seo covers his mouth and opens his eyes wide – tremendous joy and madness flashing in his wide-open eyes.
Well, okay – I activated the magic towards Gapureum, who was sticking his ear to the door to eavesdrop on us whispering.
[Sound wave distortion]
[Shadow Capture]
[Invisible Hand]
Magic that is activated through will alone without any hand gestures or prior actions.
A door shattering without a sound.
Gapureum is dragged around by a shadow that moves like a tentacle.
It’s simple.
“… … !”
Gapureum is opening his mouth and shouting something, but no sound is heard due to the [Sound Wave Distortion] that was set in advance. however-
“Ugh, what is this smell?”
The scent of roses spreading from Gapureum’s body. A refreshing and captivating scent. Magical power that permeates the mind with a dense scent.

[System: The ‘Feast Offering’ trait is activated.]
[A pleasant scent spreads everywhere. The scent of tuberose mixed with the body and breath of Gapurum will give you generosity and comfort. And it causes friendliness.]
[Attempts to check mental strength to resist artificial emotional changes.]
[Mental strength judgment… … . failure!]
failure?
What is my mental strength and magic defense, but I’m failing at this.
I am not the only one who failed the judgment.
“Uh-what? “What are you curious about?”
Lee Ha-seo actively approaches Gapureum, showing his goodwill.
It’s a probability-based decision anyway, so no matter what you do, there’s a 1% chance of failure. But if you consider the message that pops up right before the decision… … .
[System: The ‘Abyss Madness’ attribute is activated. It removes the generosity, comfort, and friendliness attached to your spirit.]
Phrases-
A positive emotion that can only be removed by mobilizing [Insanity of the Abyss]. It’s not like an ordinary seductive scent.
“… … ! … … !”
Gapurum keeps trying to say something.
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
And Lee Ha-seo approaches with a smile as if reacting to that action.
“Teacher, step back.”
“Hmm, but wouldn’t it be better to drop him off?”
“Aha, you liked it right away?”
“S-It looks like you have some questions, and I’d like to answer them… … .”
I get it roughly.
‘Damn, that’s why even Heo Sang-hyeon was played by Gapureum.’
Instead of moving my left hand, I stretched out my right hand and cast a few spells at Gapureum.
[snort]
[Evil gaze]
[Cold Prison of Bones]
Buuuuuung-
It blew away the scent that was spreading through the air and at the same time suppressed and confined the magical effect.
[Golden Sands of Ra]
And the golden sand flying toward Gapureum. It is a magic that causes forced sleep.
“… … .”
“what? hmm? Uh… … .”
As Gapureum falls asleep, Lee Ha-seo looks down at her hands and chest and looks confused.
“teacher.”
“ah! Yes-”
“Could you please lend me a space to conduct human experiments?”
“Aha! Ugh- I like it-”
* * *
Gapureum woke up in a strange place.
‘I just clearly… … To Kim Shinhwa… … .’
Uncomfortable sensation in the back. dim lighting.
And cold lighting mixed with a chemical smell.
‘Where am I?’
dizzy. I’ve already lost consciousness twice in one day. What happened?
I barely realized that I was lying on a cold, hard bed.
“Haaah – Shinhwa! Shinhwa!”
A voice heard from the bedside.
It’s a voice I’ve heard before.
Gapureum forced his hard-to-open eyes open and looked in the direction from which the voice was heard.
A generous-sized white gown with speckled slime and blood stains on the cuffs. Curves of the body that are not well hidden by a gown. Long curly hair with a bluish tint. glasses. Mouth considerably larger than average.
And that horrible, terrifying smile hanging over that mouth.
In addition to the visual information, I was able to recall a few more pieces of information about the person.
Below. I don’t really remember her age, but she was 32?
Surreal transformation and magical trauma healing. He is a mystical surgeon who mainly deals with patients with heterogeneous body structures, and is a genius doctor who boasts world-class skills.
Although he is not an easy person to talk to, I have interviewed him several times before as he is one of the few people who has access to special patients in closed wards.
“What should I do now? Should I bring a drill? Or a laser cutter? Ahhh! The forceps and scalpel are here. By type! “By size!”
I guess you weren’t the type of person to talk that fast.
I am so excited that the words below are pouring out almost like a waterfall.
that’s right. He was in very bad condition.
Bizarre perversions, obsessions, personality disorders, and paranoia.
From our previous conversation, it seemed like he also had pica (a condition where he eats things that are not food).
But why are you so excited now?
“I don’t need anything.”
A beautiful voice that makes it difficult to tell whether it is male or female.
This is also a voice I have heard before. Shinhwa Kim? Is it Kim Shinhwa?
“town!?”
Only then was Gapurum able to check the condition of his body.
They are tied to something like a hard, cold board. Even your mouth!
I can’t open my mouth.
“Oh, have you opened your eyes?”
This is the person who used magic on him a little while ago.
The head is about a hand-span higher than Lee Ha-seo.
‘man? ‘Are you a man?’
He is frighteningly beautiful and mysteriously handsome.
But something is strange.
If you see someone with great looks, you should be able to talk about what makes that person pretty and how they are handsome –
The face Gapureum was looking at right now had no personality to the point where it felt strange.
A face that is ominously lovely, horribly sensual, and irresistibly elegant. But that’s it.
A strange face that cannot be described with any words.
In fact, the face of Kim Shin-hwa that Gapureum is looking at right now is a fake face created by [Bat Mask] reflecting the charm stat.
Kim Shin-hwa is not fully aware of how her face appears to others, but her simply attractive face ultimately makes others see something other than Kim Shin-hwa herself.
“Eup!! town!”
“Ah, reporter. I apologize for having no choice but to use a strong resolution. “You may not have known it, but you were in a very dangerous state.”
“that’s right! But Andromeda’s technology will save you! “Escape from Earth’s bondage – come from beyond that distant galaxy!”
“Umm… … . Hereafter, teacher. wait a minute. I have some work to do before I do that… … .”
“Ah, ah- I see. is it so. Go ahead and do it. Come on!”
“Uhm, I’m sorry. Reporter. Do you remember where you got this?”
Kim Shin-hwa raises her right hand. Large hands with prominent masculine curves.
‘Wow, those are really nice hands. You are a man, right? ‘Your face is really small.’
“No, not my hand, but this.”
“town!”
My aroma pipe!
“Where did you get this?”
“town? Eup-eup.”
The girl who reads tarot at the tarot card house – but what? Where was that tarot card house? And when? Since when did I start using that? Why do I have an aroma pipe or something?
“Ugh.”
Kim Shin-hwa sighs. A sad expression. I want to do whatever I can to help.
But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t remember where the tarot card house is. No, is it really a tarot card house? The very attractive, pitch-black sister… … .
that person? person? The eight black, thin legs that spread out like wings behind her back –
“town! Ugh! Ugh!”
Although Gapurum’s limbs were confined by magical bonds, Gapurum began to glow with a power that exceeded the limits of his body.
Knock-knock-
Blood vessels and muscles writhing beneath the skin.
Crunch-clunk-crack-crack-
Bones that cannot withstand the force of forced expansion and begin to make terrible sounds.
“Ugh, oh my. “It won’t work.”
After saying that, Kim Shin-hwa takes a breath of Gapureum’s aroma pipe and covers her face.
“Whoa-”
Kim Shin-hwa’s sweet breath flying toward Gapureum.
The sweet and faint scent of daffodils contained in that breath.
“town!? Huh? Ugh… … .”
The next moment, Kim Shin-hwa removed the hand that was covering her face and what was there was-
“Hehe, hello?”
Kim Shin-hwa’s head has suddenly come down to a lower level. The long, curved fingers suddenly became short and thin.
And his face-
It was Gapureum’s own face.
“?!”
No, Gapurum? me? Shinhwa Kim? it’s me? Is that charming, beautiful, and lovely being me? Was I Kim Shin-hwa? No, so I am Gapurum and-
“You were very surprised, right? “Would you like to take a nap and not worry?”
Emotions that converge toward oneself rather than toward the outside. Love for yourself. Interest in yourself. Yeah, it’s okay. I like something like Kim Shin-hwa.
I am looking at myself. I am here and I am comfortable.
Gapureum falls into an unbearable sleep again.
* * *
Oh, my bone really hurts.
Gapurum is an NPC with decent characteristics, but that is limited to his performance as a reporter.
You cannot use things like surreal seduction techniques.
‘Perhaps one of the beings of the abyss intervened and shared its power with Gapurum.’
It seems that the aroma pipe that Gapurum had was the medium.
In order to figure out the source of this item and confirm the child’s purpose, it would be best to search through Gapurum’s memories.
I transformed the power contained in the aroma pipe – causing a slight distortion in Gapureum’s mind.
Gapurum falls in love with himself through the power to induce affection.
Gapureum fell for the whispers of me, who had changed his appearance, and opened his mind, and I sympathized with that spirit.
Memories of purum begin to flood in sequentially.
‘Ugh, do I look like this?’
This is my most recent memory.
Looking at it from Gapureum’s point of view, Lee Ha-seo is really scary. Well, it was almost like I had been kidnapped by aliens.
‘This is all for your own good in the end, so just be patient.’
I want to see memories from a little earlier than this. Hmm, how many people have you met?
To the past-
No, further back than this –
Ah, this is Park Gwang-rim.
As soon as I showed interest, Gapurum’s memory began to take on a clear reality.
A view of his office located in Yadang-dong.
And the appearance of Park Gwang-rim reconstructed through Ga Pureum’s perspective.
An anachronistic old suit and a cool fedora that seems a bit excessive. Squinted eyes and a long ponytail.
Slender but angular shoulder line.
Wasn’t he originally just under 180cm tall? It was a little smaller than Jang Hyeon-deok.
Looking up at Park Gwang-rim, who was at similar eye level as me, I felt a little different.
This is Gapureum’s point of view.
Many things seem different when you see them through the eyes of others.
This is Gapurum’s idea.
I know that Park Gwang-rim is much younger than him, but Ga Pureum perceived Park Gwang-rim as a bit older because he felt that he was suspicious and dangerous – a scary middleman in the underworld.
Park Gwang-rim, whose recent drug addiction problem had not been completely resolved, touched his chin with a slightly trembling hand and asked Ga Purum a question.
“Hmm, what information would you like me to give you?”
Korean with an obsessively formal and awkward accent.
Ga Purum, who heard Park Gwang-rim’s words, asked this question.
“Tell me about Kim Shin-hwa. “What kind of person is he?”
This woman… … .
Have I kept asking people around me this?
“Kim Shinhwa? that… … .”
Park Kwang-rim smiles meaningfully and prepares to tell lies for himself and for me.
but-
“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss–”
The power of the abyss mixed with Gapureum’s breath makes the truth flow from Park Gwang-rim’s mouth.
