It was my first time actually touching such authentic equipment items, so I felt like I was in a fairy tale.
Wow, it’s amazing how much it shrinks.
As I was absent-mindedly touching the ring, a notification window appeared in front of my eyes.
– Wearing the ‘Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse (Grade Not Appraised)’.
– As a result of the wearing effect, the user’s strength has been increased by 10 (minimum value adjusted).
“Eck.”
When I read the message and looked at Seo Ji-han in shock, he quietly opened his mouth as if he was a little embarrassed.
– Actually, I was thinking of telling you when I throw away the blanket in the morning… … .
You said it bothered me that I had to carry something heavy and go through a hard time?
I thought you didn’t care about that.
Oh my god, Seo Ji-han.
When I looked at him with eyes full of emotion, he cleared his throat and started walking ahead of me, telling me to go ahead.
Anyway, as long as the soul stone is in my hand, I can’t fall more than 3 meters.
Seo Ji-han eventually walked a few steps, then stopped and came back.
Who on earth spread such bad rumors about this person?
It’s clear that someone with a dirty, dirty, ugly personality, and who is weaker than Seo Ji-han, spread it out of jealousy.
When I told this story to Seo Ji-han on the way home, he burst into laughter.
It’s my first time seeing you smile so brightly.
Anyway, it was nice to return home with such a refreshing smile like a youth drama… … .
When I saw the poor single room, a sense of reality suddenly struck me.
As soon as I saw the household items lined up here and there, the old windows, and the wad of paper that I had roughly inserted into the crack of the window on my way out, the anxiety I had barely forgotten came to mind.
They said they would be patrolling, so it should be okay.
Will you come again?
If the police were around, you wouldn’t be able to do something so suspicious.
Even if you try to think positively, it’s not easy.
If my mother’s house had been nearby, I would have gone there tonight, but my hometown was on Geoje Island, a long way from Seoul.
– Why did you come back to this house if you were so anxious?
“All my friends live with their families, so it’s a bit difficult to ask them to sleep with me.”
– That’s not it, you just need to stay at the hotel where we ate for a few days and find a place to live.
“ah.”
I was surprised because it was an unexpected choice, and Seo Ji-han clicked his tongue.
– A hotel is a lodging establishment. Not a restaurant.
As I listen to the criticism, I feel a bit unfair.
“If I lived alone in Seoul with my salary and had spending habits like sleeping in hotels whenever I could, I would not have been able to avoid being rich in debt.”
In response to my response, Seo Ji-han just shrugged his shoulders.
It’s definitely a bit scary at night, but should I go to a hotel now?
– Or, there is another way.
“Which way?”
Seo Ji-han pointed to my hand.
To be exact, the lapis lazuli ring you gave me earlier.
– You’re probably the only one who feels anxious even though you have so many good items in your inventory. I thought I came home believing that, but I guess that wasn’t the case.
“That’s not mine, it’s Seo Ji-han’s. “It’s common sense that you shouldn’t use other people’s things carelessly.”
– What do you think? Since it’s a dead person’s property, it’s as if it doesn’t have an owner. Just think of it as yours.
He said that, but I had a hard time doing it.
There is no owner? He died?
Who is this person who is nagging me right now?
At least for me, Seo Ji-han was the person currently next to me.
Not someone who died and left. So, ‘Yeah, since you’re dead, I’ll use this however I want. It’s a bit hard to say, ‘If you’re wronged, you’ll survive.’ … .
“For a dead person, he’s a bit talkative.”
I said it sulkily, but he actually smiled briefly with a happy face.
Then he suddenly lowered his voice and made a secret suggestion as if plotting.
– Or do you want to handle this my way?
“Seo Ji-han’s method… … ?”
I was a little reluctant, so the answer came out hesitantly without me even realizing it.
As if to tease me, he whispered again.
– It’ll be fun.
“fun… … .”
– Don’t you want to punish that bastard?
“Of course I want to do it.”
Umm. There’s something about it that makes me a little uncomfortable.
But I don’t think Seo Ji-han will do anything bad to me.
At least there seemed to be no malicious intent.
No, I think he actually has a slight crush on me.
It may be an illusion, but at least he is much more friendly than his outright wariness and dislike when we first met.
– Do you want to do it?
He is an experienced combat hunter for many years.
For a person like that, something like this wouldn’t be a big deal.
Although I can’t do anything other than advise since I’m currently a ghost, it’s advice from a veteran, so it’s sure to be very helpful.

“I want to do it.”
In the end, I ended up answering like this.
Seeing Seo Ji-han smiling brightly was a little, no, very uncomfortable, but my will to punish that perverted bastard is real.
Honestly, I was kind of looking forward to some advice from the world’s strongest hunter.
– Then sleep first.
“yes?”
– He’ll come at dawn. Well, I think it was about one or two o’clock. I can’t fall asleep because I’m tired of waiting, so I’m going to sleep now. I’m sleeping until 12 o’clock.
Because it was a logical enough reason, I laid down the new blanket I had bought, washed it briefly, and lay down.
Falling asleep wasn’t that difficult.
After eating a lot and wandering around, I was falling asleep due to a combination of hunger and fatigue.
“Okay then, I’ll sleep.”
I caught a glimpse of Seo Ji-han one last time and closed my eyes.
After sleeping for a few hours, I woke up to the sound of a vibration and could vaguely see Seo Ji-han’s transparent body in the dark room.
I reached out to turn off the alarm and tried to get up, but he stopped me.
– Just lie down. Pretend to sleep.
“came?”
– no. But that way you can let down your guard.
As he said, I decided to just wait and lie down, but suddenly I started to feel anxious.
Why don’t you tell me your plans in advance?
“If that person comes, we’ll have to call the police, right?”
– Don’t call the police. It won’t be of much help anyway.
“but… … .”
– I couldn’t even see the patrol car’s shadow.
It seems that the talk of strengthening patrols was just words.
“Then what?”
– I have to catch it first.
“Me? “Can I catch it?”
– Your strength right now is probably twice that of a decent adult male. That’s enough. If necessary, you can use other items.
I’m sure my strength has grown thanks to the lapis lazuli ring.
Even at the supermarket, people were shocked when I suddenly carried a blanket as lightly as a potato chip, so I pretended that it was heavy for no reason.
Maybe it’s because he’s a hunter, but he prefers his fists to the law.
Well, since most hunters are outside the law, their senses are bound to be different from those of ordinary people.
Okay, let’s say it’s okay to catch it.
I don’t know anything about other plans, so why aren’t you telling me?
“What should I do if I catch him…?” … .”
– Shhh, it’s here.
Seo Ji-han suddenly stretched out his hand and covered my mouth.
Since it was a ghost, I couldn’t feel anything, but when it suddenly came closer, I was startled and closed my mouth.
And then, in my silence, I heard a very small rustling sound.
Sasak, sereuk, tuk.
It is the sound of a wad of paper stuck in a crack in the door being pushed into the house and falling.
All the nerves in my body were tense.
I thought it was impossible, but you really came, right?
– I’m looking at you. From now on, do as I tell you.
If I spoke, it would reveal that I wasn’t sleeping, so I just nodded briefly.
But it seems I shouldn’t have done that either.
Seo Ji-han pointed it out right away.
– No need to answer. Just move as I tell you. First, stand up as if you just woke up.
As he said, I stretched out and woke up with the pretense that I had suddenly woken up in the middle of the night.
– Open the door and go out.
Suddenly?
I guess I’ll do it because I’m told to, but is it okay to do this?
“Wouldn’t it run away?”
As I walked out the front door and whispered, he shook his head.
– I’m waiting.
Ugh, pervert bastard.
What are you going to do when I get out?
I got goosebumps and became angry at the same time.
Okay, let’s do it.
It’s very revealing. Just punch me in the face, huh?
To be honest, I was a little scared, so I gathered my strength and went out, but I couldn’t see him.
what? Did you run away?
– Hiding in the alley. Run and subdue it. Push it to the ground and then press it.
I swallowed my saliva, steeled myself, ran into the alley, and there it was.
At this time of night, there was a short man wearing a hat pulled down and covering his face with a mask.
No matter how you look at it, he is a suspicious guy.
– Subdue it.
I just pushed him and knocked him to the floor.
I pushed it lightly and it fell down easily.
As I climbed on top of him and pressed his back hard, the man screamed.
“Wow, what suddenly… … .”
– Shut your mouth.
I covered my mouth over the mask.
The man made noises, but could do nothing but squirm.
Wow, that’s really weak.
By the way, what should I do now? Can I hit you?
When I raised my head, I saw Seo Ji-han looking down at me and the man with a very happy face.
No, to be honest, it’s a very evil laugh.
– Now, follow what I say from now on. Who sent it?
yes? Is there no one coming to visit?
What are you saying all of a sudden? … .
As I looked at him in confusion, he waved his hand and urged me to speak.
– hurry. Who sent it? and say Put your voice down.
I don’t know what the situation is right now, but I decided to do as I was told.
Because I decided to listen to Seo Ji-han’s advice.
“who. I sent it. ji.”
Of course, the words came out very awkwardly, without even the slightest hint of my intention.
Seo Ji-han, who heard my line, looked at me with a puzzled expression.
– Oh my god, don’t ever act again.
