Room 102, Cursed Room Mansion of Fear Re (1)

* Second Attempt

Han Kain

It was confusing but I soon pulled myself together.

Now! Lets calm down for now, and talk about the roles that were given to all of us. I am a probationary exorcist dispatched by the Vatican, a deacon, which seems to be right below a priest.

And Im the exorcist training you and helping the cardinal, Jinchul-hyung replied. A wonderful priest that doesnt know anything about the bible.

Elena followed up.

Songee and I are sisters. It says we are very spiritual but doesnt look like we were given any other abilities. Its just another way to put our blessings.

Next up was Grandpa Mooksung who took out a box with a shout.

Im the cardinal dispatched to punish evil! Although I havent been to a cathedral before, but anyway, inside this box is the Bell. This must be a crucial item to advance with the room, so keep that in mind.

Lastly, it was Eunsol-noona.

I have changed from the niece of the owner of the mansion to a younger sister. My role is that of a younger sister skeptical about her brother being possessed by a demon.

I was about to write them down on the note but I remembered that I didnt need to write it down on the note.

After all, I had the system window, which I could control and view any time at will.

[User: Han Kain (Wisdom)

Date: Day 28

Current Location: Floor 1, Room 102 (Cursed Room Mansion of Fear)

Sages Advice: 3]

In curiosity, I wrote 1 in front of the number of Sages Advice to change it to [13]. What if this allowed me to have an infinite supply of advice?

Unfortunately, the 1 was removed immediately.

It gave me the feeling that the system window was of a much higher status and class than the pen. It wasnt something that I could edit with the likes of this pen.

I pulled one of the sides of the system window like what I did when applying it as a filter, and wrote letters on it. This time, the letters werent erased.

It seemed that I got myself a new notepad.

Before writing down the roles of everyone on the new notepad, I checked where Seungyub and Ahri were.

[Teammate Location Information (*)

Park Seungyub: Village near the Mansion

Kim Ahri: Village near the Mansion]

Village near the mansino? Were they not inside the mansion this time?

I wrote down everyones name based on their roles.

/1. Team Exorcists

Cardinal: Kim Mooksung

Priest: Cha Jinchul

Sisters: Elena, Yu SongeeRread latest chapters at n/ov(e)lbin(.)co/m

Deacon: Han Kain

Sister of the Owner of the Mansion: Lee Eunsol

2. Team Village

Kim Ahri, Park Seungyub/

This was everything for now, and I could make edits to it once I figured out what Ahri and Seungyubs roles were.

After writing everything down, I told everyone inside the car that Ahri and Seungyub were inside the village next to the mansion.

Soon, once everyone settled themselves down and we talked about our roles, we shared what we knew with each other and started contemplating our next course of actions.

I wasnt expecting us to be the exorcists, but in the grand scheme of things, I dont think that changes anything.

Our objective is probably to figure out the truth behind Lee Sehyun, the owner of the mansion. First of all, lets go to the village as exorcists and gather some information.

Eunsol-noona raised a question.

Before we do that, we first decided to have someone escape, didnt we? What should we do?

Our original plan was for everyone to head to the mansion while one person drove the car away from this region for an escape.

However, there was a problem.

Going around the village with Priest Cha, we focused on gathering information.

Just like our first impression, most of the people inside the village were moderately rich people planning for a second life after a retirement in the city.

There were two main pieces of information that we gathered.

Firstly, about people going missing.

It was mainly kids in early teens that were going missing. Most of the people inside the village were retired and the average age was therefore quite high, but there were naturally some young couples and kids.

There were already 4 young children that had gone missing. They were the source of happiness and energy in the village, and the people of the village were therefore very disheartened and depressed.

After hearing about the circumstances, it made sense why they would contact priests instead of the police.

Apparently, the children were inside the house like usual before disappearing all of a sudden, and in some cases, they just vanished from the surveillance camera that they were on.

Besides, kidnappers would generally call the family after kidnapping the child of a rich household for ransom, but there hadnt been any of that.

The villagers were certain that some supernatural powers were in play.

Secondly, about Lee Sehyuns reputation.

Unlike us who knew about his suspicious circumstances and his corrupt self in the future, Lee Sehyuns reputation was very good among the villagers.

He was well-known as a young yet amazing entrepreneur that acquired wealth in various industries, and appeared to have contributed significantly to the building of this village.

Essentially, he was the representative of this entire village, and it was by no coincidence that his younger sister was sent off to represent the village and seek external help.

Simply hearing me ask skeptical questions about Lee Sehyun was enough to put the villagers in a bad mood. Priest Cha had to apologize to them that it was a mistake from his junior deacon.

How were we supposed to show the correlation between the missing incidents and Lee Sehyun?

Where were the missing kids? Were they locked up inside the basement of the mansion? Or were they dead already?

Before anything, we had to go to the mansion.

We headed back to the village hall and found Sister Songee and Sister Elena, who had already gone through the other side of the village.

Dear sisters. Is there anything you have figured out?

Oppa?

Please refer to me as Deacon Han.

I warned Songee about her way of calling me, but that was when Priest Cha lamented from the side.

Seriously! This guy is so into it right now. Hes probably going to keep telling you off until you fix up your way of referring to him.

I think Deacon Han has the right approach. That was when Sister Elena intervened. We have to move around like detectives and there are many eyes on us around the village and the mansion. Please be careful too, Priest Cha.

It appeared that Sister Elena understood where I was coming from unlike Priest Cha who still couldnt be serious.

As expected, Priest Cha dropped his head after that one sentence from Sister Elena, who then continued on to explain what she found out.

There was a cathedral in the direction we went to. It was different from how it was almost in ruins during our first attempt. I also met the father there.

Did the father know anything?

Nothing. He wasnt someone experienced with exorcism, grimoires or anything supernatural.

He was a normal person and seemed quite nervous around us. He asked us to take care of the serial missing incidents, but not much else.

Sister Songee then said, We found Seungyub and Ahri. They were turned into children of the village. The villagers were all trying to hide their kids due to everything happening and it was hard to even see them.

We barely managed to meet them after introducing ourselves as sisters from the Vatican.

Children of the village? I asked. Did they become younger by any chance?

Yes. They both looked barely 10. Both of them were so cute!

Have you talked to them?

Seungyub seemed very frustrated and wanted to help us at the mansion. Ahri just said she was doing okay.

Both of them happened to become children in a village where kids were going missing. There was no way that this was by coincidence.

Priest Cha, who seemed to have thought the same thing, said from the side.

Deacon Han. What if they are the next targets? Should we bring them in and protect them?

Hmm. Priest Cha, its something we thought of immediately after hearing that, so I am sure that Ahri is thinking the same thing too. She has enough power to protect herself, so theres no need to be too concerned.

Im not that concerned about Ahri either. Im more worried about Seungyub.

In any case, its hard for us to do anything about it. Their parents are there, so priests cant suddenly show up and take the kids away. First of all, lets head to the mansion. Its time for us to meet Lee Sehyun.

It was time to go to the mansion.

As soon as she heard that, Songee voiced her concern.

I was possessed immediately after touching the statue on the first attempt. What should we /genesisforsaken
