Chapter 21: Ghostbuster (5)
TL/ED – Enuma ID
Office of Task Force 3, Special Operations Division
A woman with black hair and a calm demeanor.
Team Leader Shin Si-on of Team 3 was in the office with her team members and, with the attention of Team Leader Park, displayed a photo of a person and began her explanation.
W е̂b̆ n̂о v́ е̄ l̊ Ѐńu m̆ а̊
A man with black hair and a calm impression. It was a photo of Yo-han.
“Kim Yo-han, an orphan raised in a children’s home, 21 years old, single. He has been evaluated as a diligent man who does his job well at both university and the comic cafe he recently quit. However, he does not participate in drinking or social gatherings and has no notable friendships. He responds well when spoken to but doesn’t take initiative, and since no one has had deep conversations with him, they don’t really know him well.”

Shin Si-on’s calm voice echoed in the room.
“Currently, I believe this is the basic information about Kim Yo-han, the prime suspect in the university murder case.”
Team Leader Park, looking at Yo-han’s photo, asked.
“I heard we lost interest in this case because we were busy with other cases. Did you investigate this separately on your own?”
Ẁ е b.n о̂ v еl̀ Е́nũm̊ а
Si-on nodded.
“Yes, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”
“Do you have any evidence?”
“No, I don’t have any concrete evidence. However, given the situation, he’s the most likely suspect among the students who were in the classroom when the professor was murdered.”

“…So it’s just a hunch?”
Team Leader Park nodded.
Ẅ е̃ b̂n o v ē l̂ _Е̊ n̈ ŭ m а́
“Well, you know how Team Leader Kim from the other team always has tonkatsu for lunch, but once in a while, he’ll have spaghetti.”
Zzzzt- Team Leader Park narrowed his eyes and mimicked Si-on’s expression.
“Why does he always eat tonkatsu but sometimes switch to spaghetti? So suspicious.”
At Team Leader Park’s joke, the new female team member couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Pffft- S-Sorry!”
Si-on’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.

“………”
She spoke in a slightly annoyed tone.
“…I think it’s a situation worth paying attention to.”
“Anyway, it’s a weird case. If there’s no solid evidence, a hunch is enough to investigate further. Still-”
Team Leader Park continued.
“We’ve got other investigations coming up soon, so don’t overdo it.”
E n umа. і̊d̂
“…Right. Understood.”
Si-on tidied up the office and spoke to her team members.

“This is just something I personally investigated. Please don’t worry about it, and focus on your respective cases.”
The team members breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just an information-sharing session. Fortunately, there would be no additional work.
Si-on wasn’t the kind of boss who pushed her team members for results, and she managed the work appropriately. However, the sheer amount of work piling up these days was overwhelming.
Èn̂ ūm а
Si-on organized the materials for the university murder case and then looked over the new case she was assigned.
There was something unsettling about it, a case that had been handed over from the police.
[Weekend Farm – Experience Livestock Farming]
On the surface, it seemed like an ordinary, nondescript farm where you could experience livestock farming…

But several people who had visited the farm had gone missing.
The police had investigated, but no concrete evidence had been found.
Е̇ n̂ um̈а .іd̈
Si-on’s eyes narrowed.
A livestock farm, an ideal place to discreetly obtain animal blood, flesh, and leather.
It could be a wizard’s workshop disguised as a farm.
…Or it could be an organ trafficking syndicate.
Either way, it was bad.
***

Si-on’s unease was justified. Both suspicions were correct.
The weekend farm was not only a wizard’s workshop but also involved organ trafficking.
To make matters worse, they were even selling human flesh.
In the basement operating room of the weekend farm’s villa.
A well-manicured woman with the sharp beauty of a celebrity raised one eye.
“So you searched hard~ but couldn’t find the Grimoire? How unfortunate for you.”
Е n u m̊ å
At the words of Kim Mi-ryeo, one of Chairman Kim’s dogs.
Kim Boo-jang, an intelligent-looking thug, bowed deeply.

“I’m sorry, Miss. It’s just that we’re ordinary people, so…”
“Does that mean you want me to go and search for it myself?”
“No! I’m sorry!”
Kim Boo-jang bowed even further.
W e ḃñо ṽ el Е n̊ǔm̀ а́
He cautiously looked at the copy of the grimoire that Kim Mi-ryeo was holding.
<Cultes des Goules>
The original text was Cultes des Goules – Faith of the Ghouls.
A grimoire exploring immortality through cannibalism.

‘Damn bitch.’
…He cursed inwardly.
Ӗ ňú mа.і̂ d̂
While he was at it, he cursed all of Chairman Kim’s household Assholes together, who resembled the chairman in their harsh treatment of people.
‘These fuckers pretending to be real wizards with the grimoire copies they got from the Chairman…’
They actually think they’re some kind of great wizards.
Kim Mi-ryeo clicked her tongue as she looked down at the foolish commoner Kim Boo-jang, who was bowing at the waist, and gave an order.
“Tsk, forget it. Father said he’d use it for the party. Just take the meat here.”
She gestured with her chin toward the corpses on the operating table, the ones with their skulls split open and brains removed.

Kim Boo-jang carefully straightened up.
“…Understood.”
Not that he intended to reflect too deeply while working for these people for money, but these bastards really always did disgusting shit.
After ordering Kim Boo-jang to clean up the corpses from the operating room-cum-workshop.
Mi-ryeo picked out the pineal gland from among the extracted brain parts.
She followed what was written in the grimoire, mixing it with various ingredients and human flesh to create an elixir.

Then, parting her red lips.
According to what was written in the copy of <Cultes des Goules>.

She swallowed the elixir to open her third eye and elevate her mystical power.
Because of the drugs mixed into the elixir, Mi-ryeo’s body trembled and she briefly hallucinated.
“………….”
…But it wasn’t enough.

To kill her so-called brothers and her father, who had lived far too long.
She needed the real thing, not a fake grimoire.
According to the Agency for Paranormal Response’s intel, the grimoire had definitely appeared in Korea.
But…

‘Why won’t it appear in front of me…!’
She had never in her life failed to get what she wanted.

Frustration boiled over and her teeth clenched.

Yo-han was currently in the mountains.
Not for hiking, but to train in controlling Grizzly’s power.
He followed a mountain trail, then veered off the path and carefully walked until he found a secluded spot.
I took out the grimoire from my bag and summoned Grizzly.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Grizzly, come out.”
“Gyahhh~.”
There was some shade formed by clustered trees.
I quietly watched Grizzly appear under the sunlight.
According to <De Vermis Mysteriis>, Grizzly is an invisible vampire.
But unlike the common vampire myth where they burn under sunlight.
Е̃ n̄ um̂ а .іd
I watched the yawning Grizzly.
“Gyah-haaa~.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
While it’s true he prefers night over morning, he’s still capable of moving around in the daytime.
‘…Is it because of his transparent body?’
This isn’t something I read in a scholarly text, but rather from a comic book.
We perceive the color of an object because light reflects off it.
W ѐ b n̂ оv е̌ ľ Е̇ n̈ú mӓ
And the higher its transmittance, the more light passes through it without being reflected. That’s why we can’t see it.
That’s why a transparent glass wall looks invisible. Though even glass doesn’t have 100 percent transmittance.
If Grizzly’s body were made of 100 percent transmittance…
“…No, forget it.”

The thought felt meaningless the more I continued.
Trying to explain a magical lifeform through science is ridiculous, and what makes it magic is precisely that it can’t be explained by science.
Ẇ_ěb ǹ ôv̈ ё l̈ Е̃ n̆ú mа̇
“……….”
I quietly stared at Grizzly.
It happened a while ago, but I suddenly recalled the words spilled by the Boogeyman before it died at Smith’s mansion.
The one who turns stones into bread, the one who wears Solomon’s crown.
Those two seemed like flattery from the Boogeyman, trying to suck up to me as a wizard.
But the last thing it said still nags at me a bit.

“…The master of the beast from the stars.”
“Gyah?”
Sensing my gaze, Grizzly tilted his head.
“Ha- forget it.”
I lightly laughed at the sight, then scratched and patted Grizzly on the head.
“Grrrr~.”
W̃e b́n̆ о v̇ е̂l̈ Éń ǔm а̊_
I decided to go ahead with what I originally intended.
I looked for a moderately thick tree and tapped it with my fist as if to demonstrate.

“Alright, Grizzly. Try hitting this really hard, like this.”
I already knew Grizzly was strong enough to lift and throw a grown man with ease.
But I had no sense of exactly how strong he really was.
That’s why I decided to gauge his strength before training him in power control.

And the moment I stepped away from the tree.
PAAANG-!!
The tree trunk exploded. It didn’t just break.
The part Grizzly hit literally burst apart.

The tree he punched blew open, and the shattered trunk toppled over.
THUD- crack! KWAANG!
Ӗ n umа̇..і́d
The broken tree collided with others, and a loud crash echoed through the mountains.
I was so shocked.
“Mother- fuck! Let’s get outta here!”
“Gyah!”
Calling for a mother I didn’t have, I grabbed Grizzly and bolted down the mountain.

After coming down from the mountain,
While catching my breath, I checked my phone.
There was a message confirming the reservation for the livestock farming experience I had booked to obtain the parchment.
