Chapter 70: Silver-haired Exorcist (1)

Kang-jun headed down to the parking lot and tried the Skia space once again .

‘Can my car really go in here?’

He couldn’t just believe Han Yeon-soo without trying it himself .

The screen lit up .

[Would you like to store the Venta S Class in the space?]

[Store] [Cancel]

At the same time, the car disappeared from in front of his eyes and a cute car icon showed up on the screen .

‘Indeed . ’

Kang-jun was delighted . When he clicked to release it, the icon disappeared and the car appeared .

He was very interested in the Skia .

Han Yeon-soo had explained the simple operations, however, there were more details when he touched the smartphone .

‘Oh, it is possible to use the space with my voice . ’

He could use voice commands to store and take out items .

In other words, he had to touch the button on the screen when he first stored it . Once it was registered with the Skia, there was no need to shine the light from the screen on it a second time .

“Store the Venta S Class!”

He spoke to the Skia and the car really disappeared into the space .

“Release the Venta S Class from the warehouse!”

And the car reappeared .

'This is a very useful feature . '

Another useful feature was if he put the back of the Skia on his wrist, it would turn into a watch shape! He could even see a small screen in this state . The screen was smaller but the functions were still the same .

That wasn’t all .

It could also be connected to a smartphone . In other words, if he entered the phone number of his smartphone into the Skia, he could send and receive calls using it . Likewise, his other apps and information on the smartphone were automatically transferred to the Skia . Of course, it was possible to use the Internet and banking as well .

‘I don’t need to carry a separate smartphone . I can just leave it at home . ’

In addition, the Skia absorbed the mana around it as energy so no charging was required .

Kang-jun read the Skia’s manual which was in the form of an app .

‘Amazing . This is a smartphone that can be used indefinitely . ’

Kang-jun left the Skia in the form of a watch around his left hand and boarded his car .

He left the parking lot .

At that time, dozens of people blocked Kang-jun’s way .

‘What is going on so early in the morning?’

Bang! Bang!

He beeped his horn but they didn’t move . Rather, they headed toward his car .

"Is Lee Kang-jun an exorcist?”

"You are Lee Kang-jun, right? Please have a quick interview with us . ”

This! They were journalists . There were also fans who had come to see Kang-jun .

Kang-jun didn’t even know that a fan club had been made .

“Wah! Kang-jun oppa!”

“Oppa~ so cool!”

Kang-jun watched the crowd with a grim expression and reversed the car .

‘I can’t go this way . ’

He quickly unlocked the door of the parking lot .

Kiiing!

It was possible because it was the private parking lot used by the building owner, Kang-jun . There were separate parking lots for tenants .

Kang-jun got out of the car and instantly put it in the space .

He walked toward the emergency exit, then ran toward the rear of the building . He wanted to look for a suitable place to pull out the car from the space .

“Kyak~! Kang-jun oppa!”

"So awesome!”

"Oppa! Please sign this!”

However, there seemed to be people waiting at the rear door . They were busy taking photos of Kang-jun with their smartphones .

'What on earth is going on? Why am I so famous?’

Kang-jun had heard of people becoming famous overnight but he’d never imagined it would happen to him .

But right now, it wasn’t important to be a celebrity .

If he lost time in this manner, he wouldn’t be able to hunt as many evil spirits .

He wanted to just push them to the side .

“Get out of the way . ”

"Out of the way . "

A van that celebrities normally rode in appeared on the road .

Then eight people in black suits pushed through the crowd and arrived next to Kang-jun .

"Boss Lee Kang-jun, this way . ”

"We will escort you . ”

Kang-jun was puzzled .

"Who are you?"

Then a familiar voice was heard from the rear .

"It is me . I’ll explain from the car . "

Jang Seo-yeon? Sovereign Avia . The people in black suits were bodyguards that she hired .

"Now, please move out of the way . ”

"Out of the way!"

“Move . You’ll get hurt . ”

The bodyguards blocked the fans and reporters . Kang-jun walked quickly and boarded Jang Seo-yeon’s van .

The van left immediately . Kang-jun managed to escape thanks to her but he was still confused .

“What's going on? Why are those people suddenly acting like that?”

“Hoho! Isn’t it amazing?”

Jang Seo-yeon laughed . She was wearing a training suit with her hair tied back like the first time he saw her .

She showed Kang-jun the screen of her smartphone .

"Now, you will understand if you look at this situation . ”

“This . . . !”

Kang-jun cried out as he saw the screen . Various articles, blogs and SNS sites were talking about a silver haired exorcist .

The problem was that Kang-jun’s photo was there! He’d been seen driving a Venta S Class .

People had seen Kang-jun and called him the silver-haired exorcist .

In the last few days, he had been taking care of many evil spirits, so it was natural that rumours would be made .

However, he didn’t know he would attract this much attention .

There were also speculations that Kang-jun had originally lived in a goshiwon and managed to become a building owner in Gangnam through making money from his exorcist work .

"These people have nothing to do . Why are they so interested in other people’s business?”

As Kang-jun grumbled, Jang Seo-yeon laughed and showed him other things .

There were photos of Jang Seo-yeon everywhere and she was called the Exorcism Goddess .

The exorcists continued to be the subject of conversation as people continuously searched them up in real time .

"The sovereigns are attracting attention now due to the evil spirits . Of course, people don’t know that they are sovereigns and call them exorcists . ”

Kang-jun nodded .

"By the way, how did you know to come?”

Kang-jun knew her house wasn’t far away . However, it was surprising she had brought bodyguards because she expected him to be in such a situation .

Jang Seo-yeon smiled .

"I hadn’t been expecting this morning’s situation to happen . I was just coming to see you when I saw the crowd . ”

"You were coming to meet me?”

"Yes, I have something to tell you . ”

"What is it?

Inwardly, Kang-jun was impatient . He had to go hunting .

"I'm sorry but can you give me another 10 minutes? I have to show you something . ”

“Yes . ”

Kang-jun nodded . He didn’t know what she wanted to show him but 10 minutes wasn’t that burdensome .

After approximately three minutes, Kang-jun and Jang Seo-yeon’s van stopped behind a large truck .

"We’re here . "

Jang Seo-yeon got out of the van and Kang-jun followed her .

At that moment, the door of the truck container opened and stairs automatically descended .

“Come in . ”

Jang Seo-yeon entered the container .

There was a large screen on one side as well as various computers and unknown devices . Two people were working on something inside .

Jang Seo-yeon guided Kang-jun toward a sofa in the centre .

"Sit down . "

"What is this place?”

"I made it to support our allied sovereigns . I call it the mobile support centre . It is equipped with all the facilities we need . We can also take a break and sleep in it . There are agents with excellent skills in analyzing information that can find us incidents of evil spirits . ”

Jang Seo-yeon pointed toward the people working .

On the big screen, many red dots were blinking .

"All this time, the sovereigns had been reacting to the evil spirits but after the evaluation, all of them will be searching frantically . ”

"For the moonstones?”

“Yes . Everyone will be moving, so we need to have rapid information and mobility . ”

"That's right . ”

Kang-jun finally understood what Jang Seo-yeon had prepared . Of course, it couldn’t compare to Kang-jun’s detection app, so he didn’t need her help .

However, that only applied to information . Mobility was different . The bodyguards would help clean up any situations .

They would make things more comfortable in many ways .

Jang Seo-yeon said with a warm smile,

"Lucan! The van from before is a present . Additionally, I will give you one secretary and eight guards who will be your hands and feet . You don’t have to feel pressured since I will be paying them . ”

"Paying? You don’t need to do that . ”

"If it hadn’t been for you, I would have been punished during the evaluation . Thanks to you, I gained one level and received a bonus of 1 . 4 billion won . ”

She seemed very pleased .

"Our alliance is a give and take relationship . It is natural to repay something that I received . ”

As well as two large vans, he received a secretary and eight bodyguards .

They would wait beside Kang-jun and receive information from the support centre about where to go next .

Kang-jun just had to stay in the car and get rid of the evil spirits .

The secretary would take care of matters such as contacting the police or calling 119 . It was the same for seeking legal advice .

Kang-jun laughed somewhat bitterly .

'Why didn’t I think of this?’

It was no longer a burden for Kang-jun to hire a team of secretaries and bodyguards .

He wasn’t accustomed to using people that way, so he had never thought about it .

However, using resources like these was very natural for Jang Seo-yeon .

In fact, it was very hard to find the right people . A specific type of know-how was needed .

Anyway, there were no more reasons to talk about who was paying .

Kang-jun nodded .

“Okay . We are in an alliance so I won’t feel burdened . By the way, the information on the screen is a little slow . There is an incident nearby . ”

Kang-jun compared the map on Skia to the one on the big screen . Jang Seo-yeon was confused .

"What are you looking at?”

“Skia . ”

“Skia?”

Jang Seo-yeon couldn’t see the Skia around Kang-jun’s hands . Kang-jun seemed like he was just gazing at his wrist .

Kang-jun thought this was absurd .

"You can’t see it?”

"Is there something on your wrist?”

“It seems like you can’t see it . ”

“Yes . Please tell me what it is . I am curious . ”

Kang-jun discovered that the Skia was only visible to him . Of course, the exception was Lawyer Han Yeon-soo .

'She must be able to see it to give me the Skia . ’

Kang-jun smiled and got up from the sofa .

“I’ll tell you next time . Anyway, I can find incidents faster . As a sign of my sincerity, I will give you useful information often . ”

"Then please give it to me . ”

Jang Seo-yeon noticed that Kang-jun had a special mechanism .

However, she politely didn’t ask Kang-jun anything else .

‘It is good as long as he gives me information . ’

Jang Seo-yeon smiled and shook Kang-jun’s hand .

"I'll get in touch . Then, I wish you good luck today . ”

“You too . ”

Kang-jun exited the container . A woman in her 20s, wearing a neat suit, then ran toward Kang-jun .

"Hello, Boss-nim . I am Secretary Kim Hye-na . ”

At the same time, a strong man in his 30s also greeted him .

"I am Hwang Chang-min who will protect Boss-nim in the future . I am the leader, so you can just call me Team Leader Hwang . ”

“It is great to meet you . Let's depart . The address . . . ”

Kang-jun called up the address of the dot on the screen .

“Boss-nim! The closest spirit possession is in Jamwong-dong, but this address is in Apgujong-dong . ”

Kim Hye-na was confused because Kang-jun’s information was different from what Jang Seo-yeon told her . Kang-jun just grinned .

"I will specify the position . Please only tell me other information . ”

“Yes, I understand . ”

Kim Hye-na didn’t ask twice . It was the same for Hwang Chang-min .

The two vans immediately departed .

Kim Hye-na and Hwang Chang-min boarded the same van as Kang-jun .

Hwang Chang-min sat in the passenger seat and spoke to the driver, while Kim Hye-na was next to Kang-jun .

The van in front only had bodyguards on board and Kang-jun messed around with the detection map while sitting in the second van .

Seuk . Suuk .

If he clicked at a specific point on the map, the address would pop up .

‘This isn’t a red dot but a black one . ’

If a person was possessed by an evil spirit, they would do something violent . As soon as others discovered it, they would post it on websites in real time or report it to the police .

However, black dots were where creatures came through a weakened barrier .

So, Jang Seo-yeon’s support team hadn’t figured it out yet .

“We've arrived . "

They were at a parking lot near a large apartment complex .

It was a clear day but this area was covered with fog .
