Season two, chapter eighty-four
"Hand in hand. You & me.
Today, tomorrow, forever"ATHENA SAT BESIDE HER BROTHER, Jun-seo, who was comforting Hana. Their expressions were somber, indicating their dissatisfaction with the ongoing situation. Thea realized that none of them were willing to take on the responsibility of eliminating Ma Ju-seok, even if instructed to do so. Their duties mainly involved summoning evil spirits, saving people, and resolving emergencies without resorting to violence unless absolutely necessary, a scenario that had never arisen until today.
Ma Ju-seok's strength had increased as a result of Hwang Pil-gwang assuming control of his body. Thea considered killing him as the only option, but couldn't go through with it, given his past kindness towards her and their close relationship resembling that of a beloved uncle. Athena found Yung's order to be overwhelming, struggling to fully grasp the scenario as she gazed down at her hands resting on the table.
Jangmul, wide-eyed and in disbelief, questioned the group at the table, "They want you to kill him, not summon him?" His tone was clear and filled with surprise as he observed each member's gaze turned downward
"Yes" Everyone nodded in agreement with solemn expressions, indicating a shift in the mood of the room to a more serious tone
"Oh dear. In that case, forget about Ma Ju-seok for a second" expressed Jangmul, appearing concerned as he leaned against the table."What about all the souls inside him? Will they all disappear along with him?"
"I promised Ms. So that I'd save papa" Ms. Chu interjected solemnly, her gaze fixed on the table, conveying a sense of emptiness in that particular moment "Who knew I wouldn't be able to keep my word?"
"Ma Ju-seok only killed Mr. Park and Hwang Pil-gwang" Mun declared solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he addressed his teammates. "But the problem is Hwang Pil-gwang. He took too many innocent lives" Mun then rose from his seat with determination, refusing to obey Yung's commands "We can't do this. Our job isn't only to catch the evil spirits. It's also to return the trapped innocent souls back to Yung" Mun spoke firmly, making a compelling case to the members
"You're right" Mo-tak silently concurred, gazing at Mun with a solemn demeanor. He then expressed, "That is our job as well. But Ma Ju-seok right now..." He shut his eyes in exasperation and emitted a sigh before reopening them. "No. if we fail to stop Hwang Pil-gwang, there will be more innocent victims. That's the truth"
Hana, with a solemn look on her face, interjected, "I agree." She discreetly held on to Jun-seo's hand beneath the table. "The hell Hwang Pil-gwang created has already begun. Those at the broadcasting station and many other innocent people have already become his victims"
