I Became the Hidden Mastermind

051 – Mite # 2

051 – Mite # 2

Why babies cry.

If I think clearly, it was because I was hungry.

I’m going to cry because I’m hungry!

“Juhee! “Do something!”

“What am I doing! f*ck you!”

However, Yang Joo-hee was desperately opposing what I thought of as “Baby Breastfeeding Operation.”

What should I do in this situation?

Knock on the door next door and call the lady who manages the villa and ask for help?

No-.

It was clear that if I did that, I would hear people calling me crazy and the situation would only get worse.

“Baby! “Mite!”

I really wanted to cry too.

How great would a baby be?

If you cry like that, your mom will listen to you.

But I was a high school student on the verge of adulthood, and by this point I should have been able to solve problems on my own.

Yes! f*ck! Can do!

How many ghosts have I defeated so far?

“Wait!”

Baby… Baby and mom….

As I was thinking about that, I suddenly remembered the newly acquired “Mercenary Group” System.

The ghost I defeated.

Isn’t there a hint there somehow?

The one I chose was 「4. It was a “Ghost under the bed.”

According to my memory, this was the mother ghost being copied.

For reference, it was also a ghost that Yang Joo-hee beat up and defeated.

In other words, even if the gambling numbers collapse, Yang Joo-hee’s violence is enough to control the situation.

The ghosts of mothers being copied… To Yoo Da-hee… dispatch!

100P consumed!

All or nothing!

Now it was time to think about what would happen.

Tingle, rattle-.

The sound of bells began to be heard.

“Huh!”

This was the sound of bells in my memory.

“Juhee. Can you hear the bells too?”

“I know! Ha Young-won! “What have you done!”

“… I called my mom….”

Tingle, rattle-.

Knock knock knock-.

The sound of bells stopped in front of our house and there was a knock on the door.

A tense situation in many ways.

Knock knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock.

It feels like you’re going to be screwed if you open it.

Baby Yoo Da-hee was crying excitedly, the bells were ringing, and the knocking was so loud that I wanted to cover my ears.

━Sleep well, my baby… In the front yard and back garden… Birds and babies….

A lullaby begins to be heard beyond the door.

It was a very soft and gentle voice.

It felt so sweet that it reminded me of my mother in the hospital.

“Hey! Ha Young-won! Do you see that?”

Whaaa-.

“I can see it.”

Yoo Da-hee’s body was wrapped in a white light.

Soon, Yoo Da-hee’s body, which had been crying like a mite, was lying limp on the bathroom floor.

I could no longer hear the baby crying, no more bells, and no more lullabies. Everything was quiet.

All… Is it over?

No, it was time to think it was too early to let down our guard.

『Congratulations! You have won against the ‘baby ghost’!

『Settlement for the three surviving people begins.』

『Obtain 150 P.』

『Your ‘ghost under the bed’ has attained Buddhahood.

The ghost under the bed can no longer be dispatched by the ‘Mercenary Group’.』

“Oh wow….”

“… “Why are you looking at me like that?”

After Yoo Da-hee opened her eyes, she spoke to me.

He was smiling brightly, as if he was somehow embarrassed.

I answered simply.

“Look at Yoo Da-hee.”

“I see.”

Booss – Yoo Da-hee stands up.

It was already 7 o’clock in the morning.

“Dahee. Wash and change clothes. “I have to go to school.”

It was a conversation that somehow gave me a sense of déjà vu even as I spoke.

Soon Joohee Yang, who was making ramen for breakfast, came into the room.

“Hey! What are you doing when I tell you to wake up Yoo Da-hee? Are you awake? Hey Yoo Dahee! You are really behind! Do you know how much we suffered yesterday because of you? Uh?”

“… Hardship?”

Yoo Da-hee frowned as if she couldn’t remember anything.

I asked Yoo Da-hee.

“Don’t you remember what you did last night?”

“After going to church… I even remember coming home and eating ramen…. I felt so heavy and tired that I wanted to go to bed early… It feels like I had a really interesting dream… And. “My body is so light!”

Bung bung-.

Yoo Da-hee was happy, twirling her shoulders.

It seemed like he couldn’t remember what happened when he was possessed.

Anyway.

It was important that the possessed ghost was successfully defeated and the incident was resolved safely.

I didn’t expect a shaman ghost to suddenly appear.

“Maybe….”

Suddenly it occurred to me that the shaman’s ghost was frantically searching for something in the hallway of the nightmare.

Could it be that the shaman ghost was looking for a ‘baby’?

Inference.

1. The shaman ghost who committed suicide at school had a ‘baby’.

2. And the ‘baby’ was abandoned by her mother and became a ghost.

3. The baby ghost clung to Yoo Da-hee last night(?)

There was a time when Yoo Da-hee heard a cat meowing near the church and Yang Joo-hee responded, “That was a cat meowing?” I thought it might have been that time.

4. The baby ghost thus possessed was put to sleep by the fake mother played by “The Ghost Under the Bed.”

Is it okay to look at it that way?

It was just my guess, but it seemed plausible.

If you use this information well, it may be helpful in dealing with the real shaman ghost in the “Hall of Nightmare.”

Somehow they carry something like a baby doll and throw it as bait.

Anyway.

We ate the ramen made by Yang Joo-hee and left the house.

But today, there was a black car parked in front of my house.

“Dahee. “The chairman is telling me to stop now and come home.”

A man in a black suit got out of the car and spoke to Yoo Da-hee.

Then she took out her cell phone from her pocket and held it out to Dahee Yoo.

“… ….”

Yoo Da-hee looked at the man and us alternately.

And then he spoke quite coldly.

“I don’t like it.”

The man looked very embarrassed.

Soon Yoo Da-hee added her words.

“But it would be a nuisance to keep staying at a friend’s house. “If you listen to the suggestions I made to my grandfather, I will go home.”

What did Dahee Yoo suggest to her grandfather?

Something like receiving an inheritance from your grandfather before he dies?

When I was imagining various things, Yang Joo-hee also said something.

“Hey. Go home quickly. If you run away from home like that, it will be a nuisance to your family and a nuisance to Ha Young-won. How many people are suffering because of you right now? Well, it’s not a child. “What kind of runaway is running away from home?”

It feels very new to hear Iljin member Yang Joo-hee say those words.

Soon, the man spoke as if he had made a firm decision.

“I will take responsibility and tell the head of the family. Then everyone get in the car. “I’ll give you a ride to school.”

Oh wow.

Will I ever have another opportunity in my life to drive such an expensive car?

I quickly got into the car and Yang Joo-hee followed me.

Yoo Da-hee grumbled, “It’s better to walk,” But as there was no other way, she ended up riding in the back.

Surrr-.

Wow, the car rolls and rolls as if it was really oiled.

The ride is great.

When can I buy and drive a car like this?

Is it possible to threaten the President of the United States with my abilities?

As I was thinking about that, I had already arrived at school.

“Then Dahee. I’ll come pick you up after school. And eternal student.”

The man called me.

Why?

“I’d like to talk for a moment. Do you have some time?”

“Me?”

Why?

What are you trying to talk about?

I thought maybe he was trying to tell a story about Yoo Da-hee.

He might threaten me by saying, “Don’t approach my lady anymore.”

“You guys go first.”

I decided to send Yoo Da-hee and Yang Joo-hee to school and listen to the story of the man in the black suit.

What are you talking about?

When I thought about that, the man opened his mouth.

“I heard Dahee stayed at your house? “Has anything happened so far?”

If it’s a big deal….

Something special.

Have you been possessed by a baby ghost?

Or is it something special between men and women?

Whatever it was, it seemed better to say it didn’t exist.

“Yes. “Nothing happened.”

“Okay. It looks like that. Our matriarch… Dahee’s grandfather is a bit of an eccentric person, so he loves his granddaughter very kindly. Do you know who Dahee’s grandfather is?”

Dahee’s grandfather?

A descendant of a family that even became a count during the Japanese colonial era?

Extremely rich.

I thought that, but I couldn’t say it honestly.

“I don’t know. “I know it’s just a very rich family.”

“hahahahaha. Rich family. Okay. It’s a rich family. Dahee’s grandfather is really rich. Dahee is the only family member. “You look smart, you know what I mean?”

“Are you saying we shouldn’t be friends?”

“No. It’s the opposite. “Please continue to get along well with Dahee and contact me here if anything happens.”

Sch-.

I carefully put the phone number written on the paper in my arms.

It seems to be the man’s number.

I don’t know if it’s my mood, but these days, guys keep giving me their numbers.

Then I suddenly became curious.

“If Dahee is my grandfather’s only family…” How did Dahee’s parents… ?”

“I also came here 5 years ago so I don’t know much. But Grandpa Dahee took care of his son and daughter-in-law… You said you lost it due to something bad. “Dahee is a child who is in a lot of pain, so please treat her well.”

A modern mansion built majestically like a castle.

Even in a place where a famous architect designed a modern engineering reinterpretation of an old castle, a man was sitting in the most extravagant and luxurious room.

Was he in his 70s?

He had a rather stern-looking face with white hair and wrinkled eyes.

In front of the man was a nameplate carved from ivory.

「Spiritual knowledge and economics, the length of the business is 100,000 won」

If you were to translate it, it could be read as “Cheon Dae-gon, Chairman of the Youngji Foundation.”

Cheon Dae-gon.

He was, in name and reality, the chieftain of this Gaeryong city.

Such a man was sitting in his chair, looking at the picture frame placed on the luxurious mahogany desk.

“Are you thinking about your son?”

Someone spoke to me.

When she raised her head, a woman wearing red heels was standing in front of her.

It was really clever of her to show up without making a single sound even though she was wearing heels so high that even walking seemed difficult.

It was Hong Mi-ri, an English teacher at Yeongji High School.

“If only my son had been there, everything would have gone well. That’s what you think, right? “Why don’t you contact us?”

“Miri. Refrain from speaking. My son is dead. How many times have I told you not to bring up that story in front of me? “That guy is dead.”

Cheon Dae-gon closed his mouth.

Hong Mi-ri no longer annoyed the old man.

She had something to say instead.

“Speaking of which, I think the pastor of Yeonggwang Church will contact Seoul. “I don’t think we can proceed with the work in secret if people come from Seoul.”

“… “What about Dahee?”

“After listening to what driver Kim said, fortunately, I think he’ll be coming home today. Really. Kids are difficult, right? If that shaman hadn’t randomly died at school, things would have worked out a long time ago. “Something goes wrong and I have to rely on Dahee.”

Sch-.

The old man got up from his seat.

And then he hit Hong Miri hard on the cheek with his hand.

Party!

English teacher Hong Miri shook her head from a force stronger than she expected.

“Be careful what you say.”

“… Did I say something that wasn’t there? Please leave it to me instead. Chairman. The head of the family. I am confident that I can do better. “I must—.”

“No. You have no talent I wouldn’t know if it was the other twin. You are half “You yourself should know better why I am saying this.”

Deueu-.

English teacher Hong Mi-ri looked more insulted than when she was slapped.

Of course, Cheon Dae-gon did not care at all whether Hong Mi-ri was angry or whether she offended him with sarcastic remarks.

Cheon Dae-gon stroked Hong Mi-ri’s head and spoke sternly.

“A dog, like a dog, should not try to be humble with its owner and should just watch over its home.”

Cheon Dae-gon was not interested in Hong Mi-ri.

Only a very small number of people in the world can capture his interest.

Now that I think about it, there was one thing that bothered me recently.

“You said recently that one of Dahee’s friends is a boy, right? “Not that mayor’s son.”

“Are you that coward? My name is Ha Young-won. There are a lot of other boys, so I don’t know why Dahee dated that guy. “I don’t think he’s someone you should pay special attention to?”

“… You’re a coward. Okay. You can’t fool blood. Because Dahee’s mother liked that kind of thing. But this thing is fear. It is the source of survival and evolution and the measure of all things. “Cowards survive long.”

“… ….”

“Tonight, I’m going to invite Dahee’s friends and have dinner with them. Invite everyone to my house. “I’ll have to see what the guy who became friends with Dahee is doing.”

“What if I say I have an appointment or have to go to the academy?”

“… ….”

Cheon Dae-gon sat on the chair without saying any more.

Hong Mi-ri did not sarcastically any more.
