My Girlfriend Is a Shaman

21 – Changgui #1

It was rewarding to continue the investigation until late at night.

‘A mysterious man wearing a black jacket.’

There was something I learned while going to see spiritualists with Sarah. The appearance of the spirits was similar to that of the body found at the scene of her death. For example, those who died in a fire are charred, and those who died in a car accident show signs of twisted bodies. Even the clothes they were wearing were often the same as the clothes the corpse was wearing.

His father’s cause of death was a heart attack.

Since he had not suffered any particular trauma, his father’s spirit would have looked like a living person from the outside. Moreover, if he is wearing a black jacket, the probability that he is the same person increases even more.

“Sera! Come quickly!”

I quickly called Sarah. Sarah, who had been keeping her eyes peeled in her living room, woke up with her yawn when I called.

“…What? What’s going on? Did you find an unidentified life form on the mystery site?”

“That’s not it, there’s someone we’ve been looking for! I think a spirit resembling my father has been found.”

“What, what?”

Sarah heard me and rushed to the room where the computer was. From the time I was in elementary school until now when I was in high school, he was the father we always looked for. Sarah was surprised to hear the news all of a sudden after looking for him for seven years.

“Really? I will never forgive you if you lie.”

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who will make a fuss about my father? Sit here and read the article. Someone saw something strange on the side of Chilryongsan Mountain.”

I made room for Sarah. Sarah sat in front of the computer and slowly read the post I had posted. The moment I scrolled to the end, Sarah opened her mouth with an interesting expression.

“A man in a black jacket? And he looked so fine that you could think he was alive?”

“Because it looks fine, the probability that it is my father’s spirit increases. And I told you before. My father was wearing a black jacket when he passed away.”

“I know, but there’s something strange about it. If this is your father’s spiritual home, then why is it on Chilryongsan Mountain? It’s a long way from Seoul.”

Chilryong Mountain.

The mountain was located in Cheolnyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do. Since it is located in the Jeonnam region, it was a mountain quite far from Seoul.

It was strange that my deceased father appeared at Chilryongsan Mountain. However, if he thought about it carefully, he was able to think of a somewhat understandable reason.

“My father is an exorcist. Even if he becomes a spirit, he can still go around trying to save people.”

“You’re traveling around the country trying to save people? If that’s true, you have an amazing work ethic, right? You’ve been carrying out rescue work as a soul for seven years.”

“That’s quite possible. My father is a bit of an eccentric person.”

My guess is this.

There is something evil lurking in Chilryongsan Mountain that threatens people. The father blocked the author of the post from trying to climb the mountain to prevent an accident. If you’re asking what the danger is, there was some information in the post.

‘A dazzlingly white thing.’

After meeting the man, the author witnessed something pure white in the mountains.

The dazzlingly pure white thing came down the mountain and tried to attack the author.

“It’s written in the text here. I was almost attacked by a pure white bastard. My father warned me before I was attacked and saved my life.”

“It’s a reasonable guess.”

Sarah listened to my guess and nodded her head. After listening to what he said next, it seemed like Serado had heard something about Chilryongsan Mountain.

“If it’s Chilryong Mountain… It must be a famous place among shamans.”

“Famous?”

“In the past, it was a mountain that shamans and Buddhists often visited. The mountain’s energy was clean, so it was a good place to pray and practice. But one day, no one stopped going there.”

Sera told me about an incident that happened a long time ago at Chilryongsan Mountain.

“A Parksu died on Chilryongsan Mountain. He was found dead on the mountain 10 years ago. They say his body was so gruesome that it looked like it had been bitten by a wild beast.”

It was said that a shaman who went to Chilryongsan Mountain was found dead.

After that, shamans no longer visited Chilryongsan Mountain because they considered it an unclean place.

“Were you attacked by an animal?”

“No one knows that. The police investigated, but could not find the cause of death. From that day on, strange accidents began to occur on Chilryong Mountain.”

I felt like I knew what kind of accident was starting to happen. There were many cases of hikers going missing or spiritual figures being sighted on Chilryongsan Mountain. The mountain that once had clear energy has now turned into a cursed mountain with echoing sounds.

Of course it was an interesting place for me. As it is famous as a psychic spot, I have been thinking of going to Chilryongsan Mountain someday. Now that I had seen a spirit who resembled my father, this was my chance.

I decided to go to Seven Dragon Mountain and investigate the mystery myself.

“Sera.”

I made up my mind and told Sarah about my travel plans.

“I’m going to Chilryong Mountain this Friday. I’m going to look for my father there.”

“Friday? Are you planning to leave right after school?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Uh.”

Originally, I planned to travel alone. Any mountain in the Jeonnam region was far from Seoul. It was prickling my conscience to take Sarah with me. However, as soon as Sarah heard my travel plans, she opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.

“Then let’s go on a trip with me.”

“Go, together…?”

“Of course we should go together. Did you really think you were going to leave me and go alone?”

I was a little embarrassed because he spoke so casually about going on a trip together.

You probably have your own schedule during the weekend and can’t you just relax at home?

“You’re not throwing it away! The weekend ends when you go on a trip. Your precious weekend will be deleted.”

“What’s the big deal about the weekend disappearing? Do you know how hard I’ve worked to find your father? What happens to me if you go to Seven Dragon Mountain and find him alone?”

“Isn’t it a good thing that I don’t have to suffer any more…?”

“Of course it’s not good, you idiot! All the hard work I’ve done so far has been in vain. I really need to watch the touching scene of a father and son being reunited from the side. I’m continuing this to see that happen.”

I want to watch the scene where I reunite with my father.

That seemed to be Sarah’s wish.

This made it impossible for me to travel alone.

“So let’s go together.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s go together.”

Sarah smiled and held out her hand to me.

I held Sarah’s hand with a shy expression.

There was still time until Friday.

We decided to get the necessary equipment from Hyehwadang.

“There must be a lot to prepare before leaving.”

“There’s still plenty of time.”

Time passed and it became Friday. As it was the first week of the semester, there were no particularly difficult classes in high school. Thanks to this, I was able to focus on preparing for the trip.

Friday afternoon.

We took the KTX from Seoul Station and departed for Jeonnam.

When we got on the train, we were both wearing heavy duffel bags. I was going to Chilryongsan Mountain, which was rumored to be a dangerous area, but I couldn’t travel alone. I put the necessary equipment in the duffel bag.

Various new knives including Gunungkkal.

A bottle containing chunks of rock salt for throwing.

Shamanic items such as bells and mugwort.

In addition, various survival equipment such as MacGyver swords and hammers.

These were the items I brought with me because I didn’t know what would happen at Chilryongsan Mountain. In the first place, it was a famous place where many spiritual people appeared. There might be an attack by spirits, so it wouldn’t hurt to prepare in advance.

“Jinwoo, you took a note too, right?”

“I got it.”

“That’s the most important thing, so don’t forget it.”

He also brought along a notebook containing his father’s story.

But actually, this wasn’t all I brought.

There was one more item that I secretly brought with me without telling Sarah.

━━Rat!

The KTX we boarded departed.

As I watched the scenery quickly passing by outside the car window, I secretly cleared my throat.

“Keuhum!”

I cleared my throat and Sarah looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“What’s wrong? You couldn’t have left something behind, right?”

“No, no, I didn’t leave it behind. I brought something useful.”

“What is it?”

I took out the equipment I had prepared separately from my coat pocket.

“It’s an EMF meter.”

It was a palm-sized machine in the form of a remote control.

There were five LED lights on the top.

It was something called an EMF meter.

It contained a function to detect spiritual values by measuring the surrounding electromagnetic fields.

Sarah looked at the EMF meter I took out and was embarrassed.

“That’s a magnetic field detector!”

“It’s an EMF meter! You can detect spirits with this.”

“No…! Did you pay for something that might be fake?”

“I bought it with my own money. I bought it directly from overseas and it arrived yesterday.”

It cost about 100,000 won to purchase an EMF meter.

Sarah reacted in bewilderment after hearing what I said.

“You paid money to buy such crappy equipment? Are you rich?”

“You’re talking too much about crappy equipment. Are you ignoring the EMF meter now? Machines are more accurate than people.”

“What if it’s not accurate? And my eyes are more accurate than machines.”

“Then I can just sell it as a used product. It’s great because I like the eyes.”

I knew it would be like this.

Sera was distrustful of the EMF meter I brought with her. From a long time ago, Sarah did not trust foreign psychic equipment. Perhaps because he was a shaman, he seemed to trust his five senses more than machines.

If I had disclosed it before departure, I would have been told to leave it at home.

It was a good thing I took out the EMF meter after the train left.

Well, I also acknowledged that Sarah’s eyes were accurate.

However, there may come a time when she needs an EMF meter.

In situations where visibility is limited, it is necessary to detect spirits around you.

“Sera, would you like to buy one for you too?”

“It’s a waste of money to buy that. It’s a crappy machine.”

“Don’t ask me to buy it later.”

It’s an understatement to say that it’s a crappy machine.

If you go to Chilryongsan Mountain, you will be able to check the performance of the EMF meter.
