Chapter 38

    Chapter 38

    Seo-jun crouched down.

    It was a pit.

    Inside the pit, about 3 meters deep, there was a boy covered in dirt, with his eyes closed. One of his legs was broken.

    Seo-jun leaned forward to observe the boy, but Kim Hee-sang quickly covered Seo-juns eyes. Was he dead? He bit his lip.

    Seo-jun, that guy is now

    Bro, my chest is moving. Only my leg hurts.

    Seo-jun saw the boys chest rising and falling as if he was breathing. Kim Hee-sang sighed in relief.

    119!

    Yeah, just a moment.

    At Seo-juns urging, Kim Hee-sang quickly picked up his phone and called 119, then immediately called the assistant director. The assistant director answered before the second ring.

    Ah, assistant director. Theres a kid who got into an accident here. No, its not Seo-jun. He looks like a village kid. He fell into a pit He seems to be unconscious. His leg is broken. We need to call the villagers and an ambulance as soon as possible. Where are we? Were behind the Seonangdang, on the path through the grass, a little further into the woods

    While Kim Hee-sang was giving directions, Seo-jun covered the boys pale lips with his goblin energy, like a blanket.

    With the remaining energy, he covered the pit with a lid to keep the cold wind out. He wouldnt be cold this way.

    The boys complexion improved as some warmth circulated. If he had more strength, he could have done more. He felt sorry and couldnt take his eyes off the boy.

    Seo-jun. Youll fall in too.

    Kim Hee-sang quickly lifted Seo-jun, who was leaning close to the pit.

    Soon, the director and the people arrived. They all looked at the boy in the pit.

    We have to get him out quickly!

    Dont touch him carelessly. You might shock him and make things worse!

    Excuse me, Im a doctor.

    The peoples eyes turned to the outsider who was panting and gasping for breath. He had followed them eagerly when he heard about the accident, but he was exhausted.

    Im the son of the hanok owner. I came to watch the movie shooting.

    At the assistant directors words, the director and the people asked for his help. With the doctors help, the boy was safely rescued and taken to a nearby hospital.

    After the commotion was over, the shooting team resumed shooting. Seo-jun took a nap because it was a night shoot, then got up, ate dinner, and headed to the set.

    It might be a bit hard today.

    If its too hard, well split it up today and tomorrow.

    The director nodded at the assistant directors words.

    Oh, theyre here. The actors.

    Lee Ji-seok and Seo-jun appeared at the shooting location with makeup on. The assistant director and the director greeted the two actors.

    The scene where they exorcised the evil spirit, which would decorate the finale of Evil Spirit, was shot in the hanok courtyard. The equipment to show the power of the baby shaman and the evil spirit was being installed.

    The director took the two actors and explained the equipment and the order of operation in detail. A machine that blows wind. A device that ignites fire. He was amazed to see that they had implemented everything that was in the script with all kinds of devices. Seo-jun asked questions eagerly.

    The staff who were checking the devices that looked like talismans that would light up fire quietly talked to each other.

    But it must be hard to act in a place like this.

    Well, Redbone1 was all green chroma key and they had sensors on their clothes too. The attacks were mostly CG, so they just stretched out their arms. Its amazing that they can act like nothing in that situation.

    Thats true.

    The Battle of the Evil Spirit and the God.

    The staff who were installing the devices felt a bit awkward watching the two actors perform without any effects, unlike the movies with flashy CG.

    It might feel weird when you act, but it will look amazing after the CG work and editing. Please act as naturally as possible. Well, lets start with the full shot.

    As everyone headed to their positions, Director Choi Daeman called Seo Jun.

    Seo Jun, when you say your lines, leave some room for the inner god to speak.

    Yes!

    Seo Jun nodded at the directors words and stood in his place.

    He saw the cameras and the lights, and Lee Ji Seok. Seo Jun whispered quietly.

    Kim Seobang, lets play.

    [Kim Seobangs teasing by the Bell Goblin is activated.]

    The energy inside his body moved softly. The human-like energy danced with mischief and whimpered.

    -Ready,

    It was time to unleash this energy. Just like when he teased Kim Seobang!

    -Action!

    The wind blew.

    The baby shaman wore a bright red shaman outfit that fluttered softly, and the shaman bell he held shook quietly.

    Jingle jingle.

    The baby shaman knew that today was the last day.

    [Long time no see, baby.]

    The man, no, the evil spirit opened his mouth.

    [Youve grown so appetizing, I should have eaten you back then.]

    The evil spirit that took over the mans body chuckled. The baby shaman had been the prey of all kinds of ghosts since he was born, because of the power he inherited from his father and mother. His parents were the ones who protected him from those ghosts.

    The baby shaman recalled the faces of the two people in his faint memory. The two people who always smiled were gone forever by the evil spirits power.

    I beg the heavens and the earth and the gods.

    [No way!]

    Stay away!!

    Soo-hyuks body glowed by itself. He fell to the ground as the evil spirits power pushed him forward.

    In the gap, Soo-hyuk, who had taken over the right eye of the body, looked at the baby shaman who was shedding tears. Soo-hyuks gaze was gentle.

    I beg you, a lowly being.

    [[email protected]^&%&@!!!]

    This is it.

    The god whispered.

    The baby shaman knew everything as the god entered his body.

    The baby shaman saw Soo-hyuk, who was wounded all over while fighting off the evil spirit. Tears blurred his vision.

    If Soo-hyuk had asked him as the evil spirit said, the baby shaman would have granted Soo-hyuks wish and let the evil spirit devour him. But Soo-hyuk didnt do that.

    The baby shaman knew that Soo-hyuk would die if the evil spirit was defeated. Soo-hyuk was a good person. He shouldnt die like this.

    You are too soft.

    The god sighed and showed the baby shaman a different future. The baby shamans eyes, which had been cloudy with tears, shone.

    How is it?

    Good!

    What about me disappearing?

    Even if I cant see you, youll be by my side, right?

    The god raised both hands. I cant win against you.

    A foreign voice joined the baby shamans voice.

    Let that great soul descend upon me.

    The talisman that was in the baby shamans left hand flew away and surrounded the evil spirit. And then it burst into flames. The baby shaman grabbed the bell with both hands.

    [!#$^#!!!]

    Good job.

    Maybe Soo-hyuk had expected that he would die. The baby shaman shook the bell with all his might.

    Jingle!

    The power to burn the ignorant evil!

    The golden aura that received the moonlight charged at the evil spirit like a golden beast. Burning in the golden fire, Soo-hyuk twisted his whole body in the flames.

    The evil spirit screamed. It shrieked. Soo-hyuk also screamed in pain as his soul burned in the hot fire.

    Jingle!

    The power to destroy the source!

    The fire that looked like it was made of gold grew stronger. The black evil spirit struggled to escape Soo-hyuks body as its power faded. Soo-hyuks soul caught the evil spirit that tried to get out of here.

    Thanks to you, I think I learned how to handle souls!

    [!#%#$&@!!!]

    The evil spirit that could not escape from Soo-hyuks hand or the hand of God shrieked and withered away.

    The golden flame that failed to find the evil spirit to burn also circled around Soo-hyuk like a beast looking for prey, then soon calmed down.

    The yard that was filled with screams became quiet.

    In the end,

    It disappeared.

    When the pain was over, Soo-hyuk collapsed to the ground and the baby shaman also slumped down. He looked at the fallen Soo-hyuk with tearful eyes.

    -Cut, OK!

    He came to his senses with the voice of Director Choi Dae-man.

    Seo-jun looked at his hand. There were red marks from gripping the handle of the bell so hard. He felt more immersed than when he practiced at home.

    Seo-jun carefully raised his hand to his chest. His heart was pounding.

    [Smiling Mushrooms Fantasy] was activated automatically, so Seo-jun could use it without worry even when he was absorbed in acting.

    But this time was different. Unlike the first shooting when he just had to keep it inside his body, he had to emit energy all over his body and make it disappear. He also had to act out the goblins energy.

    So Seo-jun immersed himself in method acting, and practiced emitting the goblins energy until it became familiar to his body, in case he forgot to use [Bell Goblins Teasing Mr. Kim].

    But, it went better than I thought.

    Seo-jun smiled brightly.

    Ugh!

    Lee Ji-seok, who had been lying on the ground, gasped for air. Then he slowly got up.

    Oops. Seo-jun noticed Lee Ji-seok, who was covered in dirt. Ji-seok hyung also acted really well. He looked like he was really possessed by an evil spirit.

    As Seo-jun approached Lee Ji-seok to ask if he was okay,

    Clap-

    Clap clap-

    Clap clap clap!

    Wow!

    Applause erupted from the staff. Director Choi Dae-man and the assistant director also gave a round of applause to the two actors.
