Chapter 374 – Dwelling of the Souls of the Dead (2)
– Lord of Fear.
– Yes, Lord of Despair?
– Can we really change the flow of fear in this way?
– Ha-ha- ha, don’t worry! Human fear comes out of nowhere. People know what evil is.
– Oh…
– Wait a little. Soon the whole world will know what fear of the Masters is.

– We need to study everything… – Si Hoon nodded when he heard about people disappearing without a trace in the village, as well as about the suddenly appeared behind the village house.
Is this house related to missing people? Sure. It is foolish to believe that they are not connected in any way.
– Let’s go right away. You have no other business? Kang Woo asked as he rose from his chair.
Kang Woo spent a week working on the paperwork, so he wanted to take action as soon as possible.
– I have an appointment with a lady from a high-ranking family… but I didn’t want to go from the very beginning, so I’ll just cancel, – gasped Si Hoon.
The more people feared Lucifer, the more interest and trust in Si Hoon grew. The Lord of the Flies tried to plunge the world into chaos, and Si Hoon was considered a hero who could stop him. Everyone wanted to establish a good relationship with him, for some reason they invited him to dinner parties.
– Good. Let’s take Leila too, and on the way to the village we’ll explain to her what’s what.
– Will we take Leila?
Leila was the embodiment of Gaia. If divine power comes to this suspicious house, then they may have the opportunity to decide how to proceed.
“And not all The gods are so holy.”
Lucifer himself is endowed with divine power. In addition, there may be those who help him. Kang Woo thought that he might have the opportunity to increase his divinity.

“Of all the Gods, I can only trust Gaia.”.
– Good. See you.
Si Hoon went outside. Kang Woo turned to Lilith and said:
– Get ready too.
– Will I go with you? – She opened her eyes wide, clearly not expecting to be called.
– You are the best at gathering information. And it was you who reported what was happening. It would be strange to leave you here.
“She has nothing to do here.”
She will be more useful in direct investigation on the spot.
– Um… – Lilith is awkward smiled and said nothing, but then she nodded. – Got it. I will accompany you to this house.
Her reaction was not at all as lively as Kang Woo had suggested. He thought she was harsh will cheer up when he tells her to go with him.
“Has something happened? Well, in any case, we need to start to act, “thought Kang Woo and got up.
***
– Right…
Located at the borders of the country, the village, shrouded in smog, looked so gloomy that it was hard to believe at all that someone lived on this territory. There was no one on the streets, and human voices were heard very rarely. If it were not for the occasional light of candles seen from the windows, then these villages could be mistaken for completely dead.
– How strange…
– They say that this village has a chief. He was the first to report what happened,
– Lilith pointed in one direction.
Kang Woo expected to see a luxurious building, but the house of the head of the village did not stand out in any way. He looked about as bad as the rest of the houses in the area.
– I don’t feel anything… – Leila frowned, shaking her head at
She looked around the quiet village and, lightly touching Si Hoon’s hand, added:
– Let’s go first.
Kang Woo was the first to approach the village head’s house and knocked on the door. It opened slightly, and they saw a man’s wrinkled face. He looked apprehensively at Kang Woo.
– Who are you?
– We have arrived to deal with the missing people.
Old man, not at all changing his face, he looked at everyone in turn and fixed his gaze on Kim Si Hoon.
– Ah! He gasped, and his eyes widened. – Do not… do you really…
He trembled in disbelief. Si Hoon smiled awkwardly and lowered his head.
– My name is Kim Si Hoon.
– As I thought! Empero sod!
– What?.
– Lord of the Sword! A hero capable of destroying evil! I never knew that such a great man would come to our little village! – The elder was so glad that tears came to his eyes.
Si Hoon and Kang Woo could hardly contain themselves.
– Hmm. Po… led… pha! – Kang Woo barely stifled his laughter.
So Si Hoon was called the “Lord of the Sword” by the people.
“How envious.”
– Yours nickname… very cool, Si Hoon. Hehe, – Kang Woo patted the guy on the shoulder and still laughed slightly.
Kang Woo barely survived the name of his squad ( “Heavenly wolves”), and then there is such a nickname.
– Kang Woo, don’t laugh! He shouted.
– Pha ha ha! Come on, a normal nickname.
Si Hoon could not speak to the head of the village that he did not like this nickname, why just with a grim expression, he pressed his lips together and fell silent. Leila, who was standing next to him, took his hand.
– Don’t be ashamed of your name, because it reflects how much people trust you.
– But…
– I like this! – put in Lilith.
– And me, – Leila smiled.
– Lord… phaha, “Lord of the Sword”! Sounds cool, right?
Si Hoon grimaced again because Kang Woo couldn’t help but laugh.
“Daughter-in-law, hold on.”
And not that happens.
***
According to the elder, that house appeared five days ago. It literally came out of nowhere, and three young people who entered it disappeared without a trace. After that, the village was enveloped in thick smoke and other people began to disappear. At the moment, twenty-eight people are listed as missing. Considering the size of the village, this is not such a small number.
Kang Woo listened to his story and immediately made his way to the house.
– Wow… – he exclaimed when he saw the house.
Broken glass, rotten door and holes in the walls in places.
– And the truth is like a scene from the movie horror, – Kang Woo chuckled.
He shrugged and walked on. It was the feeling that this was all some kind of parody of a horror movie that made the house by no means frightening.
– Let’s go in.
Kang Woo opened the door on parole, and the smell of mold hit them in the nose. Then they caught sight of a trickle of blood.
– Some nasty energy is felt… – said Si Hoon, looking at the blood stream.
He readied his sword, and just then the door behind them slammed shut with a crash. In a moment, the house became dark.
– Ha ha ha, seriously?
Kang Woo, on the contrary, was amused by what was happening, and he laughed. With a snap of his fingers, he created lights that illuminated everything. The blazing fire made the house, in fact, much worse. Green mold covered the walls, and moss spread all over the corridor.
Breathing in the odor, the tip of his nose twitched. Kang Woo turned around, looked inward and realized that the corridor, which looked more like a tunnel, is divided into two branches.
– Let’s share first into groups of two and explore the house. If you find something, then report it through the balloon for communication.
The house turned out to be much larger than Kang Woo could have imagined. was not wide at all, which made it simply uncomfortable for all four of us to walk.
– Okay, – Si Hoon nodded, and together with Leila I went to the right.
Kang Woo turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Lilith did not follow him and remained standing still.
– What? Did you find something?
Although Kang Woo asked the question, she didn’t answer and continued standing, biting her lip.
– A, nothing, Lord.
She swallowed and took Kang Woo’s arm.
“She’s been acting strangely lately.”
Kang Woo narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl.
– Lilith, are you… scared?
– N-no! How can I be scared in such a house?! She shouted immediately.
The corners of Kang Woo’s lips twitched. Seeing her reaction, he was convinced of his assumption.
– Wow! I never thought you might be scared.
They’ve been together for a thousand years, but this is the first time he’s seen her like this.
– No, no! Lilith screamed, blushing.
Kang Woo laughed again.
– If you’re so scared, can I go alone?
– I’m not scared! Not a bit. Why are you behaving this way? She crossed her arms in displeasure. – Go already, Master.
– Yes, yes.
Obviously Lilith was a little angry, but Kang Woo didn’t care.
“Is that something new.”
When was the last time he saw her like this? Never.
“I never thought she was afraid of ghosts.”
It’s funny to see how different her everyday look is from the one she showed now. Kang Woo did his best not to laugh.
The sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway.
– Oh-oh… – the further they went, the darker Lilith became.
Kang Woo looked at her and laughed to himself.
“What’s the big deal?”
Even if a real ghost appears, he will quickly deal with it. Kang Woo couldn’t understand why she was worried.
“But it’s still interesting to watch.”
Even if we compare watching horror movies with what is happening now, then Lilith’s reaction is much more interesting to observe. Kang Woo even thought that he really made the right decision by taking her with him.
At this moment, the cabinet in the corridor opened and human eyes, entrails and blood fell from it.
Kang Woo laughed.
– There is such a thing…
– A-ah! – Lilith screamed that there was strength.
She tightened her grip on Kang Woo’s palm and hid behind his back, putting her hand on his shoulder… He felt her hand become wet and clammy.
“What? Wet and sticky…”
-Ah-ah!
Lilith’s hair rose into the air. Kang Woo’s body was enveloped in green tentacles streaming with yellow pus, and tears flowed from all nine pairs of eyes.
– Ah-ah-ah! – Kang Woo yelled after.
– Master!
Green tentacles felt around his body. But, apparently, this was not enough for her, and they got into his mouth, nose and even ears.
-Ah-ah!
“I’m scared too! I also got very scared now!”
