Chapter 23: Occupying Everything (3)

He guessed that Hayun was killed by a bad guy . Kang-jun decided to listen to Hayun’s grudge .

“Tell me . What is your grudge?”

“That is… Oh my god!”

Hayun was about to tearfully explain her grudge when her body suddenly trembled .

“Oh my god! Why is this happening…? I really can’t believe it . ”

“What?”

What was she suddenly talking about? Kang-jun couldn’t understand Hayun’s attitude .

But then Hayun jumped up and started bowing towards Kang-jun with an expression of respect?

“What are you doing?”

“Thank you very much . My grudge has been released! I will never forget this . ”

Kang-jun couldn’t move . What were these absurd words? Her saviour!

“When did I free you?”

“I only knew now . My grudge seemed to be released the moment I was about to tell you . ”

“I’m glad but that doesn’t matter to me . ”

“Regardless, think about it . You are the reason why my grudge is released . ”

Hayun said with confidence . Kang-jun figured it out the moment he heard it .

‘Did removing the obstacles from Room 413 also affect Hayun?’

It seemed like it . This wasn’t Kang-jun’s intention, but he somehow managed to release Hayun’s grudge .

“Come to think of it, I might have released you during the night . But that’s it . Isn’t it just releasing the grudge?”

Hayun said with tears dripping down her face .

“No . Both things can’t be separated . Due to my pent-up grudge, I have never been able to escape from these constraints . Originally I wanted revenge . It made me turn bad… I would never have been able to get rid of the pent-up feelings . ”

“But why were the feelings released?”

“I don’t know . I can’t understand it but I am now free . I no longer have anything remaining on my mind . Yes . Does that mean my revenge is gone? The pent up feelings are disentangled . I really feel free . ”

“That’s great . So now you can relax and go to the afterlife . ”

“How can I repay the favour if I go to the afterlife? I will help you . ”

“Help me?”

“I don’t understand, but my instincts told me that you can access both dreams and reality! If you allow it, I can follow you in both worlds . ”

Kang-jun was surprised to hear it . How did Hayun know that? A ghost had managed to figure out Kang-jun’s secret!

Then Kang-jun suddenly laughed .

‘Ah, that’s right . Isn’t she a ghost?’

Kang-jun nodded as he thought about it .

“But can you really enter the dream world of Hwanmong?”

“Perhaps . But you probably need me more in this world . I will protect you when you fall asleep . ”

“!”

That’s right . Even if Room 406 was called a safety zone, he still couldn’t feel any peace of mind . For example, the building might fall due to a natural disaster . If Hayun was guarding him then Kang-jun would be protected from such situations .

“Please accept me . My strength is absolutely not weak . I will be very helpful . ”

“Hrmm . ”

Kang-jun was locked in thought for a while .

Hayun was a ghost, but that wasn’t something he would be fearful of now . Was there any need to reject when she was offering to help him so eagerly?

‘I might be able to summon the ghost as a subordinate, just like the monsters . ’

Kang-jun made a decision and nodded .

“Okay . I will accept . ”

Hayun replied with a stunningly pretty smile .

“Thank you . I will be sure to repay the favour . ”

Kang-jun was taken aback . Despite knowing that she was a ghost, his heart was pounding from her smile . She had a killer smile . He had to resist the impulse to kiss her on the mouth .

‘Crazy!’

Well, it didn’t matter . Even if she had resolved her grudge, she was still a ghost!

He wouldn’t be lured by a ghost . He wouldn’t! He restored his mental state .

Kang-jun gave Hayun a mock disapproving expression .

“Don’t smile like that in the future . ”

“Why?”

“Just because . Anyway, don’t smile in front of me . ”

“I’m going to smile . I will smile with all my heart . ”

Hayun leaned her face closer to Kang-jun . Kang-jun turned his head away .

‘Dangerous . ’

Then a message appeared in front of Kang-jun .

[Hayun has joined your household . ]

[The skill Summon Hayun has been created . ]

A skill . It was also a skill with a very unusual name .

‘Summon Hayun?’

She joined his household and there was even a summoning skill?

Kang-jun quickly looked at the skill window .

Summon Hayun

-You can summon Hayun to a particular place .

-5 black magic energy will be consumed .

-It is possible to summon her to the punishment field, battle field and the world of Hwanmong .

‘Unbelievable! It is real . ’

It was like Hayun said . Kang-jun was now able to call her to the world of Hwanmong .

She was also available for the battle and punishment fields . It would be quite useful when meeting an opponent stronger than Kang-jun .

Kang-jun stared at Hayun and said .

“By the way, I said I would listen to your circumstances . How did you die?”

The grudge was released but he was still curious about the circumstances . Hayun grinned and shook her head .

“I don’t remember at all . ”

“What does that mean?”

“Originally it was a very painful day, but now I don’t have any memories of it . I don’t know why I died . ”

That was possible . The memories disappeared along with the grudge .

‘Indeed . It is better not to know what happened . Remembering would be too painful . ’

Hayun watched Kang-jun and said .

“But can I use this room?”

Kang-jun nodded .

“Of course . This is your room from now on . ”

“Thank you . ”

Despite not having the grudge anymore, Hayun seemed more comfortable with Room 413 . Anyway, he only signed a contract for Room 413 so that he could construct a barrack in Hwanmong .

‘That’s right . Research centre! Should I find out if Room 401 is empty?’

His subordinates would become much stronger if he built a research institute .

Kang-jun left Room 413 and headed straight to the management office . But Kwon Myeong-cheol was absent .

‘Where did he go in the morning?’

Kang-jun went to the kitchen but he wasn’t there either . Then he heard some male voices near the stairs .

“Is the ghost still there?”

“I don’t know . ”

“Hyung, take a look . Kang-jun hyung might be dead by now . ”

“C-crazy . I should call the police to come . ”

“Won’t the police think we are crazy?”

“Fuck! Why don’t they believe in ghosts? Sang-min, I think I will give up the manager’s position . ”

“I will find another goshiwon . Look! I am too frightened to even pee at night . ”

The familiar voices were none other than the manager Myeong-cheol and PC room worker Sang-min . They were talking with stiff expressions . Then their eyes widened as they saw Kang-jun .

“Eh? Kang-jun! You are alive?”

“Kang-jun hyung! You are safe?”

Kang-jun was puzzled .

“What are you talking about?”

Then Myeong-cheol and Sang-min’s expressions changed .

“Didn’t you see the ghost standing in front of your room?”

“I saw it, Kang-jun hyung . A female ghost wearing black clothes! She was standing in front of Hyung’s room all night . ”

Kang-jun laughed . They were acting like obnoxious children because they saw Hayun last night .

“A ghost? I haven’t seen it . Look . Where is the ghost?”

Kang-jun pointed towards Room 406 . Myeong-cheol and Sang-min’s expressions turned uneasy .

“Perhaps she went into the room?”

“That’s right . She is probably in Hyung’s room . ”

They were convinced of their words . Kang-jun opened the door to Room 406 and showed them .

“Eh? She really isn’t here . ”

“Where is the ghost?”

“This is becoming dull so I’m going to make ramyun . It is morning so I am going to eat . ”

Kang-jun headed towards the kitchen with them . However, someone was already there boiling the noodles .

Straight hair that came down below the shoulders . Slender legs stretched out under the short dress .

Only the back of the woman could be seen but she was obviously a goddess .
