31The second word upsets the game board (Episode 202)

The number of people in the night market seemed to be well over 100.. 

‘Is this what a goblin night market is like??’ 

- Wow, it’s dreamy.. 

- Lanterns walk around! 

- Even the snowman becomes a lantern haha. 

Snowfall knew about this place. 

‘Gate of fate. It may seem crowded at first glance, but it is not a very difficult gateway..’ 

Still, it was hard to know where to start since the number of fires that Kangseol had was five.. 

And in times like this, it was best to get help from a helper.. 

“ur.” 

- I have no way. The magical part extends so far from my roots that I cannot figure it out in a short period of time.. 

After saying this, Ur remained motionless in the shadow space.. 

Perhaps the shame of not being of much help was what caused him.. 

“then… Jamard, you can find it.?” 

Jamard thought for a moment and said. 

- It is possible if it is one after another. But it will take some time. And some things belong to the fairies and not to you, so tell them to find them.. 

“yes.” 

whilick… 

Whirling… 

Karen and Karuna were summoned to the ghosts' night market.. 

“Did you hear? Breath and spark are in communication with you, so you will find them quickly..” 

pot-! 

Karen responded, awkwardly assuming a saluting posture.. 

“yep! Please leave it to me.!” 

“All right.” 

Kang Seol spoke about Karen’s lively appearance.. 

“If you get into an accident….” 

Jamad said to Kangseol. 

- You left without listening. I guess we should just leave it alone and get on with our job.. 

“…okay.” 

Snowfall walked through the night market, looking for his fortune.. 

A large ogre was holding a jujeonbeak from a stall and puffing out his cheeks.. 

“I….” 

When Kang Seol spoke to him, the goblin swallowed what he was chewing and then answered.. 

“…to?” 

[An unknown spirit is perplexed by your approach. How will you respond??]

1. Just a bite.

2. Have you ever seen me somewhere??

3. It's so delicious to see you eating it..

4. Haven't you seen anyone who feels similar to me??

……

Jamad said to Kangseol. 

- not this guy. 

Kang Seol nodded and said. 

“no. Finish your meal.” 

“to… yes.” 

The soul swallows snacks again. Jamard gave a signal to Kang Seol.. 

- ahead. 

Snowfall looked ahead at Jamard’s signal.. 

“Don't do this.….” 

“Uh huh… Who did something bad??” 

“Don't come near... . leave me alone.” 

“Sweat… don't do that….” 

It was the situation of Gyu-su, a female salt house, surrounded by Parakho.. 

‘Who among them is this??’ 

- It's uncertain. You can only be sure if you approach. 

Snowfall had no choice but to approach the Parakhos and the woman.. 

‘How do I intervene?’ 

- That's up to you.. 

“ah… please let go of my hand.” 

“Ehe? who held my hand….” 

Kang Seol intervened, saying a line he heard somewhere:. 

“Stop it.” 

- Oh wow... What is a cliché? 

- stop hunting! 

- ‘What are you? me? This is a set that includes ‘This woman’s boyfriend.’. 

A large man who appeared to be the leader of the Parakho group approached Kang Seol.. 

“What are you?”  

[An unknown spirit is repulsed by your approach. How will you respond??]

1. The only thing they do in groups is…

2. The other person hates it!

3. It's my boyfriend!

4. I guess you need to take care of it..

……

When Kangseol sighs and tries to choose a useful one among the poor options.. 

- found. 

Jamard brought hopeful news. 

‘what? who?’ 

A little distorted news of hope. 

- It's in front. 

Kang Seol asked the big soul who he thought was Parakho.. 

“if… Haven't I seen it before??” 

“you? I?” 

The Parakhos behind them asked in confusion as time continued to pass.. 

“hey! What's going on?!” 

“Stay still! This guy….” 

Big Horn stared at the snowfall and scratched the back of his head.. 

“I feel like I saw it somewhere….” 

Kangseol grabbed Hon’s wrist.. 

“Don't you remember??” 

“ah… iced coffee!” 

“What are you doing here??” 

“Sorry, sorry... . sorry… . That's what I was trying to do….” 

“What are you sorry about??” 

“that is… therefore… all… I'm sorry for everything.” 

“Let's go.” 

“yes….” 

When the snowfall disappeared, taking the soul with it, the remaining souls looked at the back with a puzzled expression.. 

“What, what??” 

“hey? What about me? Why me….” 

* * * 

Crunch… crunch… 

Karen was obsessed with the night market.. 

“This is delicious?” 

“Is that so? It tastes pretty good?” 

“What is it made of??” 

“Poison Umbrella Frog.” 

“…….” 

“Of course, the poison was removed.!” 

“Oh, somehow it was delicious.!” 

“Should I give you more??” 

“huh!” 

I think I was given some kind of important mission, but I couldn't quite remember.. 

This place was the characteristic of the fate gate and an insidious trap.. 

When you walk through the night market of Inyeonmun, you will temporarily fall into a trance-like state.. 

He gradually loses his memory and eventually forgets who he is.. 

The owner of the gateway created this gateway because he believed that if it were a truly precious item, it should be able to intuitively detect its presence.. 

Anyway, the trap was affecting Karen too.. 

“Oh oh… It tastes amazing.” 

“That's my own work!” 

Kukkuk… 

Karen was in the middle of eating when someone poked her on the thigh.. 

“What kind of bastard are you??” 

“…….” 

“…Little kids?” 

There were some familiar-looking children standing nearby.. 

she asked the children, feeling a sense of déjà vu. 

“Well, you guys want to eat it too?” 

“Yes….” 

Nod… 

“under… Well, the problem is that I'm too nice..” 

Karen gave them food on skewers too.. 

They looked like brother and sister, so they split the food in half and ate it to the fullest.. 

Kukkuk… 

“Seup… Ask for more?” 

“Yes….” 

“Just this time.” 

The skewers piled up one by one, and the promise was not kept.. 

After a while. 

A mountain of skewers occupied a corner of the stall.. 

“what's this… You guys ate this much?” 

“Nu, my sister ate more..” 

“I am a person who eats with my own money!” 

“We, uh, just took what she gave us.….” 

“…Look at these? You guys calculate it and let’s see..” 

Karen asked, putting her hand in her bosom.. 

“Owner, how much is it??” 

“Wow, I ate a lot. where… In total, there are 2 million ghosts..” 

“…ghost?” 

“cancer! why?” 

“Are you sure you don't use gold coins or anything like that??” 

“goldfinch? Where do you use something like that??” 

“Kahaha... Wait a minute, the kids keep causing trouble..” 

She lowered her head and said to her younger siblings. 

“Do you guys run fast??” 

“Us?” 

“no… Not that fast.” 

Karen said with a cold expression.. 

“Too bad. I'm fast.” 

“…yes?” 

“sister?” 

pot-! 

Karen quickly ran away.. 

The owner was startled and pointed at Karen with her finger.. 

“Come on, grab it.!” 

“Sister!” 

“sister! Let's go together!” 

The siblings could barely keep up with Karen's lightning speed, but their owner lost sight of her.. 

Karen took a deep breath and looked for Snowfall.. 

“Huh... Huh... someone is chasing me?” 

“uh.” 

“run away!” 

“They're kids?” 

“huh?” 

Karen looked back and saw the brother and sister she had met earlier staring at her blankly.. 

jamard said. 

“See, I said there was rapport..” 

“Well, you've come to the right place..” 

Karen tilted her head at the incomprehensible words.. 

“huh?” 

“I asked you to find the item..” 

“ah! iced coffee… however?” 

“You came to the right place, right? Two friends.” 

“what?” 

When I carefully checked the siblings' energies, I found that the younger sister was emitting an energy very similar to the sword Karen was wielding.. 

“Maybe it's because they're items related to Magra, but they have a similar vibe..” 

Then your brother will be a fire monkey.. 

Karen smiled awkwardly and said. 

“Ma, I asked you to leave it to me.?” 

At that time, Karuna walked with a soul from over there. snowfall asked. 

“I found it?” 

“yes.” 

“Where were you?” 

“on the lake side….” 

Perhaps because Karuna had been communicating with his weapon, the breath, for a long time, he was able to quickly find the whereabouts of the breath.. 

After receiving Snowfall's order, Karuna found a spirit that radiated energy similar to her own.. 

When he approached the place where he could feel the energy, he saw a woman sitting in front of a large lake.. 

Karuna approached and spoke to me.. 

“what are you looking at?” 

“no, nothing.” 

“…….” 

“Maybe I… I think I was waiting for someone.” 

He gently placed his hand on Breath's shoulder.. 

Breath answered.. 

“is it so… That was you..” 

Unlike Karen, she was quiet and did her job perfectly.. 

Thus, Karuna successfully regained Kangseol’s breath.. 

With this, Kang Seol, who had recovered 4 non-exclusive items, was left with only the last non-exclusive item to collect.. 

While Kangseol was wondering where to start looking for the remaining items, Karen suddenly spoke urgently to Kangseol.. 

“Say I don't exist!” 

“what?” 

“right… Us too….” 

Soak! 

Soak sok! 

Three people hiding next to the group. 

Immediately, a stiff soul approached Kang Seol.. 

“Didn't you see the frivolous soul that was here??” 

“Frivolous… soul?” 

At first glance, it was Karen.. 

“Yes. Since the spirit ran away without paying the price after eating, we are looking for it at the request of the owner..” 

“ah….” 

At first glance, it seemed like Karen would have done that.. 

However, Jamard, who was quietly listening to the story, laughed.. 

“Hey, I found everything..” 

“what?” 

“It's this guy.” 

Kang Seol stared at Hon at Jamad’s words and then laughed together.. 

“It's you?” 

“yes?” 

Let Kang Seol place his hand on Soul’s body.. 

“W-what did you do... uh?” 

“let's get out of here.” 

“ah… yes….” 

Karen and the children who were hiding from the group jumped up and harassed the orderly.. 

“What are you surprised by?!” 

“Ughhh….” 

“surprised! surprised!” 

“fool! fool!” 

When the soul of matter took shape, the snowfall looked like a big family.. 

Anyway, my work here is done.. 

“Now all I have to do is get out of here... Let's ask.” 

Snowfall went to a stall in a corner and asked.. 

“By any chance, where do I get out of here??” 

“excuse me… You can go over there..” 

“thank you.” 

“By the way, please take that away.?” 

“yes?” 

Kang Seol was startled and looked at his right arm.. 

The spirit of a child was hanging in the air, caught by the clothes around the nape of the neck.. 

“…….” 

Hwiik… whirring… 

a struggling child. 

- Ugh, what the fuck is this?? 

- Also, are you a kleptomaniac?! 

- If you let your guard down, you keep holding something in your hand haha. 

Different souls dyed in various colors. 

One, this soul was alone and black.. 

“Oh no.” 

Snowfall put down the child. 

At Inyeonmun Gate, the third gateway to the Ghost Gate, you were not allowed to touch other people's belongings other than your own.. 

‘Because it goes against fate. You will have to pay a severe penalty later..’ 

Kang Seol nodded and decided not to take the child.. 

However, the woman in charge of the stall smiled and said,. 

“also….”

Kang Seol looked at his right hand again.. 

Hwiik… whirring… 

When I came to my senses, I saw him holding up the black soul again.. 

The woman in the stall said. 

“It seems like he's a good match..” 

“…yes?” 

“It seems like he wants it too, so why not take him??” 

“But then….” 

Snowfall, a brief look at the Black Soul. 

And then I lowered my head for a moment and sighed.. 

“ha… Are you willing to go with me??” 

Taking the items out was also a problem, but when the items were taken out 'forcibly' against their will, even Snow Seol could not be spared the aftermath.. 

But this black soul nodded its head up and down furiously, wondering what was so good about it.. 

Nod. 

“I can't help it. then… . What should I do with this kleptomania?….” 

Snowfall headed towards the door in the direction pointed by the woman.. 

I profit… 

Snowfall disappeared beyond the door along with his belongings, and the spirit of the next stall approached the woman left behind.. 

“Are you sane to recommend Yahum’s products??” 

“Hehehehe… You won't be able to take it out anyway. Yahum will definitely punish him severely.!” 

“Oh my... That was the plan from the beginning! indeed… It will be a fun sight to see.”

[We have reached the end of the question.] 

[A linked adventure continues.] 

[This adventure is very dangerous.] 

[All adventures must be completed to obtain rewards.] 

[Start your next adventure.] 

[The twenty-eighth adventure begins.] 

[Adventure 28. Master of the Ghost Gate] 

When Kang Seol opened the door and entered, a blood-soaked person and Philia with dark eyes were waiting.. 

‘Looks like you've been through some hardships.’ 

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia could not welcome Kang Seol happily. Their minds were not so sound.. 

However, since they also belong to the axis of the powerful, they did not show it.. 

ridge… 

Floating… 

“…drum?” 

match-! 

“Gourd?” 

A magnificent drum sound and a sound similar to a gourd were heard, as if a military band from the East had arrived.. 

Hung… 

Hung Hung Hung Hung… 

The dark son-in-law gradually became brighter.. 

Candles were lined up at regular intervals around the area.. 

and… 

“Hehehehe….” 

“Hahahahaha!” 

“It’s been a while… What feels like life.” 

A line of ghosts appeared. People with a body similar to a human but an extremely hideous face.. 

“You came with greed, ugly greed..” 

“What did you want??” 

chuck-! 

chuck-! 

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia held their weapons in their hands and held them out.. 

one of the ghosts said. 

“It's greed! But greed is the ultimate power!” 

“Because being able to do anything is greed! Heeheehee! good night!” 

“But what do you want??” 

Floating… 

The ghost asked Kang Seol. 

“I have no intention of answering you..” 

match-! 

“Go Yan!” 

“Does not matter! Hehehe….” 

One of the ghosts stepped forward. And pointed with her finger to a dawn. 

“you! I won't deal with Whinin of the gust of wind.!” 

“yes.” 

Another ghost appeared and pointed to Philia.. 

“You will be dealt with by Gojom of steel..” 

“…yes.” 

Floating… 

Another ghost stepped forward and pointed to Snowfall.. 

“and you….” 

match-! 

At that moment, a heavy voice like thunder came from behind the ghosts.. 

“Go away... Hehehehehe!” 

“Hey, Yahum!” 

“All of you… It's annoying, please go away.!” 

“Yes!” 

Floating… 

match-! 

The sound of drums and beats. 

The ghosts were terrified and retreated to both sides.. 

Eventually, the darkness that obscured my vision became a little lighter.. 

Slurp… 

“Heo Eok….” 

“That, that….” 

Han Yeo-myeong and Philia were surprised and embarrassed.. 

A ghost the size of an adult ogre was lying on its side, looking at the snowfall and smiling.. 

“Arrogant human being... Were you planning on taking my stuff with me??” 

Kang Seol looked at the black soul and laughed in bewilderment.. 

‘this… Was it Yahum's thing? no wonder….’ 

Yahum straightened up.. 

Floating… 

Although he was big, his energy was very heavy.. 

match-! 

“you… You will get no compensation.” 

“…why?” 

“Because you will not be able to overcome this Yahum. Hehehehe!” 

If someone steals something from the night market, Yahum deals with it directly. Yahum is the master of this ghost gate. 

It's as strong as all the other ghosts combined.. 

“For thieves... I must punish him appropriately... That's right! I have to crush it and make it into a weapon.!” 

Jahum put the stick with the thorns on the ground and said:. 

Snowfall confronted Yahum and said,. 

“You're a thief, let's get it straight..” 

“…what?” 

Floating… 

Snowfall was not intimidated by this situation. That's because he came here from the beginning with the intention of dealing with Yahum.. 

“Not a thief, but a robber.” 

“A guy who doesn't know the topic!” 

match-! 

Whirly Whirly… 

All the souls next to Snowfall returned to their original form.. 

Floating… 

And the black soul turned into black gloves. Snowfall quickly threw off his old gloves and put on black gloves.. 

“Still, armed robbers are better than petty thieves..” 

match-! 

As a shadow surrounded Kangseol's body, a message appeared.. 

[Ghost – Exalted from the World: Yahum’s Demon Gloves are activated..]
