“What are you people doing here!”
Chairman Choi couldn’t hide his bewilderment. He’d explicitly told everyone not to let anyone into this place!
There were guards protecting the Duke’s Mansion, weren’t there? He couldn’t fathom how they’d managed to get inside.
“Ha.”
…I’m the one who should be asking. Who the hell are you people?
At Chairman Choi’s sharp rebuke, Camilla burst into an incredulous laugh. She was equally dumbfounded and exasperated.
The act being performed here was grotesque enough, but the woman conducting it—
‘Why is that woman here?’
The woman she’d been searching for, the Shaman she’d met in that rural village long ago—she was here.
[Gyu gyu!]
‘…Hold me?’
[Gyu u!]
Just moments ago, when she’d suggested they go find whoever had placed that ominous talisman on the car, King had told her to hold him.
So Camilla had picked him up, and sensing something, Arsian had pressed close to her as well.
Whoooosh!
‘…And when I opened my eyes, I was here.’
Before she could even process what was happening, Camilla immediately pulled out her phone at the sight before her.
In this world, leaving evidence of anything was paramount. She started recording video, waiting for the decisive moment to—
-Smile.
Click!
‘It was her all along.’
Upon discovering Cheon Bosal, Camilla couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
She’d wondered why there were so many shamans operating lately, but they were all the same person.
‘So you’re the one who tried to kill Sia too.’
You’re also the one who tried to harm Yeeun.
Camilla’s gaze toward Cheon Bosal turned ice-cold.
“I don’t know how you people got in here, but this is all a misunderstanding.”
“….”
The phone in Camilla’s hand—Chairman Choi’s eyes fixed on it, betraying his anxiety.
Everything that had happened here was clearly captured on film. If that got out to the world? It absolutely couldn’t happen!
“I’d already made arrangements with the employee over there. I was just getting some blood, and yes, I understand it looked strange, but… I absolutely wasn’t trying to kill anyone.”
“Ma’am.”
Without even glancing at Chairman Choi’s ridiculous excuses, Camilla took a step toward Cheon Bosal.
“Just curious.”
“…?”
“Have you ever killed a child? By starving them?”
“…!”
At Camilla’s words, delivered with a subtle curl of her lips, Cheon Bosal’s face went rigid.
‘Have you ever killed a child? By starving them?’
…She’d heard those exact words before, long ago. From Sia herself.
“What kind of nonsense is that, speaking of this place?”
“Are you spouting blasphemy? Get out of here before divine punishment strikes you down.”
“…!”
“Lady, don’t you think it’s time to change your repertoire?”
I’ve already heard all of this before.
“You… who are you?”
Cheon Bosal’s face twisted in fury.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that you people are committing atrocities right here, right now.”
“Is anyone out there! Drag these people out immediately!”
Chairman Choi shouted and called for his security, but there was no response from outside.
“It won’t work.”
Camilla clicked her tongue lightly as she watched Chairman Choi.
Arsian had already installed defensive magic throughout the entire Underground Space. Both sound and the entry of others were completely blocked.
“And besides, it’s actually you people who would have a problem if someone came in. If you’d like, I can call the Police right now.”
Camilla deliberately waved her phone slightly.
“It was a misunderstanding. It was just a simple superstitious ritual. When you’re in business, you encounter all sorts of superstitions….”
“Then what about trying to transfer the malevolent spirit attached to Mari Choi to Yeeun?”
“…!”
“And trying to kill Sia was also a misunderstanding?”
“That… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Sure. Let’s just say you continue not knowing.”
Camilla had no intention of continuing the conversation with Chairman Choi, so she turned around immediately. The way to clean this up was simple. Why waste words?
‘I just need to take care of that.’
Once I eliminate Cheon Bosal, the woman who orchestrated and planned all of this, it will be over.
Thud.
“…?”
But a hand suddenly gripped Camilla’s ankle tightly as she moved toward Cheon Bosal.
Turning slowly, it was Mari Choi who held her ankle with trembling hands.
“Ple… haa… don’t interfere.”
“…Interfere?”
A cold smile played across Camilla’s lips as she looked down at Mari Choi, who was gripping her with trembling hands while cold sweat dripped down her face.
“Preventing someone from killing another person is interference?”
“That child… haa… Yeeun should have already been dead anyway.”
“What?”
“She was sick… ugh… she should have died back then… haa… but she miraculously survived, didn’t she?”
At that time, I was ecstatic. When I heard that Yeeun, who kept stealing the roles I wanted, had been hospitalized and that there was no possibility of her surviving, I cheered.
‘But then….’
Shortly after, Yeeun miraculously came back to life. A child who should have been dead!
“…So she deserves to die?”
“She’s living an extra life….”
Camilla let out an incredulous laugh. She bent her waist slightly, bringing her face close to Mari Choi’s.
“Isn’t it you who’s living an extra life?”
“…What?”
“You’re the child who should have died long ago.”
A child who should have been devoured by an evil spirit ages ago—that’s exactly who you are. So who’s the one living an extra life now?
Tap.
Camilla coldly brushed Mari Choi’s hand away.
“Are you planning to kill my daughter?”
“….”
But Camilla had to stop in her tracks once more. Mari Choi’s mother, Lee Suyeon, had spoken up with a reproachful tone.
“Can’t you see our daughter suffering right now? How can you turn away so coldly after seeing this?”
“Ma’am.”
“…Ma’am?”
Camilla was dumbfounded and let out a hollow laugh.
‘Why are there so many of these creatures around me lately?’
Playing the victim when you’re the perpetrator?
That Aaron fellow did the same thing—starved children to death to save his wife.
“So it’s fine if Yeeun suffers? The pain your daughter should bear is being transferred entirely to that child? What sin did she commit?”
“Then what about my child? Is it okay for my child to suffer? You’re being too selfish.”
“Ma’am, did you skip Korean class in school?”
With comprehension skills this poor, there’s no point in talking.
Camilla turned away, deeming further conversation with Mari Choi’s mother meaningless.
Footstep.
“Do not come closer. You will regret it.”
Cheon Bosal issued a threat upon seeing Camilla approaching. The light in her eyes gleamed coldly as she thrust the knife in her hand forward.
“Devour her.”
Cheon Bosal commanded the Child Spirits clinging to her side. It was something she had always done through these spirits, wasn’t it?
Clinging to the person she pointed at, tearing them apart and causing them agonizing pain!
People would come back to her, begging for their lives, pleading for talismans again and again.
[….]
“…?”
But the Child Spirits who received Cheon Bosal’s command showed no movement whatsoever.
Instead, they hastily retreated backward, trying to distance themselves as far as possible from Camilla.
It wasn’t just one. All the spirits she had bound trembled in fear and refused to move at all.
“What are you doing?”
Cheon Bosal was flustered by the spirits’ behavior—they had never refused her command even once. They feared someone else more than her?
“Why? Won’t the children listen?”
“…You, what are you?”
Fear crystallized in Cheon Bosal’s eyes as she looked at Camilla. As the spirits who had been her power for so long refused to obey her, her heart sank with a heavy thud.
“Don’t worry. From now on, they will never listen to you again.”
“What are you?!”
Cheon Bosal swung the blade she held with all her might toward the approaching Camilla.
Whoosh!
“Ugh!”
But Camilla’s movements were faster. The bracelet she always wore—the one Ravi had given her—wrapped around Cheon Bosal, binding her tight.
“What is this! Release me, now!”
The harder Cheon Bosal struggled, the tighter the binding constricted around her body, and she gnashed her teeth in fury.
She demanded it be released at once and even called upon the spirits she commanded for help, but they remained fearful of Camilla and refused to obey.
