Chapter 97: Phantom Company (6)
The Director of the Anomaly Response Headquarters recalled the days before she took on the role.Back then, the Director of the Anomaly Response Headquarters was known as the Vengeful Spirit. It was a simple title, reflecting their role and nothing more.
The Vengeful Spirit lived up to their name—a ghost made for vengeance.
She was equipped with abilities perfectly tailored for revenge.
Countless CCTVs and sensors became her eyes and ears.
The psychics who dismissed modern technology focused only on their tracking skills and intuition, paying little attention to these so-called trivial machines.
While the psychic barriers they deployed could block most gunfire, it didn’t matter. By unleashing turret fire to catch them off guard, and then delivering the decisive blow via the turret’s automated weapons, the job was done.
And if even that wasn’t enough to eliminate a psychic?
Anomalies were invaluable tools for an information-controlling specter. The specter could uncover the rules of anomalies faster than anyone else.
Her hunts always followed this method.
First, lure them into the anomaly…

“Damn it, this is why you don’t trust materialistic gadgets from the mortal realm.”
The man realized he’d entered an anomaly and crushed the GPS in his hand.
The GPS wasn’t at fault. If anything, the blame lay with the man himself, who had ordered his subordinates to destroy the South Korean government.
He scanned his surroundings, recognizing the anomaly as one modeled after a supermarket.
“A supermarket anomaly, huh? I can just escape through the back door.”
Without panicking, the man
Machines couldn’t feel chills, yet the Director of the Anomaly Response Headquarters did.
She refocused her attention on Yoo Hajin.
As someone with a similar fundamental vow, she could sense Yoo Hajin’s enlightenment was exceptionally advanced. Perhaps it was on par with her own—or even beyond.
For reference, her enlightenment was at the extreme limit of the Earthly Virtue. She had yet to unfold the Ghost Gates, but her enlightenment was unmatched.
Enlightenment could be accumulated through both positive and negative means.
In Yoo Hajin’s case, it was likely through the positive route—saving powerful psychics.
Ordinary psychics wouldn’t have made enough of an impact to contribute to his growth.
But Yoo Hajin wasn’t the type to enjoy killing.
If not through murder, then he must have genuinely saved powerful psychics multiple times. Yet the idea that he, like her, was driven by trauma related to family and chose to save others seemed almost impossible.
Logically, the likelihood was too low.
In any case, it was certain that Yoo Hajin’s enlightenment had reached the peak of the Earthly Virtue. However, unless he ascended to the Heavenly Virtue, he would not fully grasp life or yang energy.
Yoo Hajin was in danger.
The Head of the Anomaly Response Headquarters wanted to protect him.
He was a hero who risked everything to protect others, a man who, like her, sought to reverse a cruel fundamental vow and live a different life.
“You and I are the same. So…”
To think they were the same. Decision. This is fate.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, her face flushed red.
But her terminal shouldn’t even have the capability to direct heat to her face.
The terminal had been malfunctioning a lot today.
“I will continue fighting by your side. Activating combat assistance system.”
With that, the Director of the Anomaly Response Headquarters activated a combat assistance system for Yoo Hajin.
The moment the system was activated, Yoo Hajin’s phone was immediately hacked.
