"You are murderer,
no matter how beloved"

THEA FELT LIKE her world was falling apart, her mind wandering back to a few moments ago, before Hana told her about one of the people Ji Cheong-sin had recruited. Yes, it was Park Ye-jun, her uncle, the person she least wanted to see of all her remaining relatives. She wasn't ready to face him, but instead, here she was standing in the dark night in a place she barely knew.

"Ji Cheong-sin, Baek Hyang-hui and Park Ye-jun, they three are level-three spirits" Mo-tak said with a serious face

To make matters worse, Ye-jun was a level three and no one other than Hana knew about the relationship between the two.

"The spirits I just saw were level two" Hana added without any expression on her face but with clear concern for her younger sister

"Let's move as a group. Don't fight them alone. I'll be your shield, so stick right behind me... and use me to defend yourself" Mo-tak began to say before looking at each of the three women

"Be careful" Ms. Chu patted his shoulder. Thea took out her flashlight from the pocket of her leather jacket like everyone else before starting to walk "It's like walking into a snake's mouth" Ms. Chu commented

Thea's steps were slow but with a certain determination, shining her flashlight to any side from which some suspicious noise came. She stopped though when Hana grabbed Mo-tak's shoulder, signaling him to stop walking.

"I think it's this way" Hana assured, pointing to her right, so everyone continued in that direction

Thea turned off and put her flashlight in the pocket of her leather jacket when Ms. Chu asked her to and they continued on their way. Although the path had come to an end and they were now in front of a large building. They inspected it a little from the outside and when they least realized it, Ms. Chu let out a loud scream, disappearing from the group's sight.

"Ms. Chu!" Mo-tak shouted, running in the direction in which someone closed a large iron gate

"Ms. Chu!" Hana exclaimed loudly, hitting the metal gate that had been closed before the trio could enter

"Ms. Chu!" Thea screamed with concern, smashing her fist against the iron gate repeatedly

"There's an evil spirit here. He's big. He's quite big in size" Ms. Chu said through the device in her ear

Thea joined the duo as they tried to push the gate open. They put all their strength but it barely moved. Ms. Chu suddenly moaned in pain and made the team even more desperate.
