Chapter 37
“You’re saying this monster was depicted in the Nameless Ritual Sacrifice Rites?”
Both of us looked at each other in surprise, struggling to find the right words. Finally, I broke the silence.
“I went to that village near the Gyeongha River just before the fire broke out. And I saw this monster there.”
“You actually saw it? That sounds preposterous.”
“Do you think I’d make up something like this if I hadn’t seen it?”
“……”
Mang-ryang seemed reluctant to deny it, but he couldn’t. The probability of my made-up drawing coincidentally matching the illustration from the Nameless Ritual Sacrifice Rites was too low. And the odds that I’d seen the Book just to tease Mang-ryang were even lower. He had no choice but to believe me.
“Tell me about what happened.”
“Alright.”
