Chapter 100

“AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”
Yang Hak-soo thrashed about wildly, as if possessed by madness.
Cha Manager and Tae-woo seized his arms and legs, forcibly dragging him forward.
Throughout this chaos, grotesque black veins bulged across his face.
The ghost of Kim Baek-hun, hidden within his body, was attempting to break free.
But the talisman that Ji-seok had affixed blocked his escape, inflicting only agony upon Yang Hak-soo’s flesh.
“Hold on. Just hold on.”
Cha Manager approached the Elevator.

Flicker—flicker—

The spectral energy surged violently, causing the red emergency lights in the Corridor to flash in chaotic rhythm.
“Yoon Manager. The Elevator.”
Taking the Elevator in such circumstances could prove extraordinarily perilous.
Yet Cha Manager shouted directly at Yerim without hesitation.
Supporting Ji-seok, she hurried toward the Elevator and pressed the button.
Whoooosh—kuuuuuuuung—
The Elevator ascended from the First Floor.
Soon the Elevator arrived, and its doors slid open.
Ding—
Screeeech—
The pitch-black interior of the Elevator came into view.
The destroyed ceiling and floor of the Elevator, damaged when Cha Manager had captured the ghost moments before, were starkly evident.
Cha Manager paid no mind and dragged Yang Hak-soo into the Elevator.
Crash—bang crash crash—crash—
He continued to thrash about violently inside.
The interior shook as though it might collapse at any moment.
Yerim immediately pressed the First Floor button and closed the doors.
Engulfed in pitch darkness, the group activated their flashlights and tactical lights to illuminate the space.
Thud—thud-thud-thud—
Yang Hak-soo continued to writhe, and the Elevator shook violently in response.
The Elevator’s LED display flickered erratically throughout.
Gulp—
Tae-woo found himself unable to suppress his tension, experiencing this situation for the first time.
Ssssssshhhhh—
That was when it happened.
Black shadows crept upward from beyond the mirrors on both sides of the Elevator.
Thud-
Then, as if breaking through the mirror itself, palms slammed against it.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-
Multiple palms began striking the mirror in rapid succession.
With each impact, the Elevator shook more violently.
“Damn it. This Elevator is painfully slow.”
Ji-seok muttered while clutching his abdomen, blood dripping from his fingers.
Tae-woo shared the same sentiment.
The descent from the 10th Floor to the First Floor felt unusually sluggish.
Ding-
The moment the doors opened, Cha Manager and Tae-woo dragged everyone toward the exit.
“Yoon Manager. Grab Tae-woo’s LP player from the counter.”
Cha Manager immediately issued the order to Ye-rim.
Ye-rim retrieved Tae-woo’s LP player from the counter while pulling Ji-seok along.
Thud-

As they pushed through the Motel glass doors and stepped outside, the waiting Guihon Trading employees rushed forward.
They couldn’t hide their shock upon seeing Yang Hak-soo, his face marked with black veins, thrashing about in distress.
“Get a grip! Into the car!”
Cha Manager shouted.
The employees immediately flung open the rear door of the vehicle Tae-woo’s group had arrived in.
Thud-
Cha Manager and Tae-woo threw Yang Hak-soo into the back seat and secured his legs with tape.
“Listen, send Director Bang straight to the Emergency Room. Kim Chief and Yoon Manager ride in this car and return to the Company with us. Go.”
He rushed to the driver’s seat, started the engine, and shouted his orders.
Ye-rim immediately settled into the passenger seat, while Tae-woo climbed into the back to restrain Yang Hak-soo.
The vehicle departed, and the Guihon Trading employees remaining at the scene took Ji-seok to the Emergency Room.

Guihon Trading Headquarters Rooftop.
Bang—
The moment the rooftop door burst open, Cha Manager, Tae-woo, and Yerim dragged the thrashing Yang Hak-soo onto the roof.
As if on cue, Incineration Team staff dressed in white robes came rushing forward in a flood.
It was thanks to Cha Manager having contacted them in advance during the journey.
“Phew. Yang, you’ve had quite the ordeal.”
The Incineration Team Chief spoke those words while observing the scene with leisurely composure.
He was already dressed in full shaman regalia, gripping an enormous crescent-bladed halberd in one hand.
I had visited the Incineration Team’s work sites a few times before and witnessed the rituals performed to “incinerate” spirits, but this shaman’s outfit was far more resplendent than anything I’d seen until now.

Kyaaaaaaaa—!!!

Yang Hak-soo continued to thrash about violently.
The Incineration Team Chief pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a long plume of smoke.
“Over there. Over there.”
Cha Manager, perspiration streaming down his face, pointed toward the center of the rooftop—to the spot before the sacred tree, where straw mats and an offering table lay.
They dragged the writhing Yang Hak-soo to that location and laid him down as if tossing him onto the ground.
“Begin.”
Witnessing this, the Incineration Team Chief drew deeply on his cigarette and exhaled white smoke slowly as he spoke in a low, measured tone.
His voice carried tremendous gravity.

Clang—clang-clang-clang-clang-clang-clang-clang—
Boom—boom—boom—boom—

Simultaneously, the sound of festive music erupted from all directions.
The other Incineration Team staff in white robes played various instruments as if possessed by spirits.
Then, the white-robed Incineration Team members who had helped drag Yang Hak-soo here raised shotguns plastered with yellow talismans and formed a circle around him.
Click—
In unison, they chambered rounds and took aim at him.
Cha Manager gestured for Tae-woo and Yerim to retreat, backing away himself.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom—

As the music accelerated, Yang Hak-soo writhed with increasing agony.
The Incineration Team Chief slowly exhaled cigarette smoke through the shortened butt and, using the tip of his crescent halberd, peeled away the talisman that had been affixed to Yang Hak-soo’s head.

Screeeeeech—!!

At the same moment, blood erupted from Yang Hak-soo’s mouth like a fountain.
He was vomiting blood, the spray violent and uncontrolled.
And through that torrent of blood, the spirit of Kim Baek-hun—his eyes blazing crimson—shot upward into the air.
In that instant.
The shotgun barrels of the Incineration Team members, all trained on Yang Hak-soo, swung upward in perfect unison.

Taaaaang—

Then, with flawless precision, they all pulled their triggers simultaneously.
The timing was so exquisite that it sounded like a single gunshot.
Shwaaaack—
Dozens of rounds transformed Kim Baek-hun into a sieve.
Yet his spirit did not dissipate—it began to fall back to the ground.
That was when.
The Incineration Team Chief raised his massive crescent-bladed polearm high and cleaved straight through Kim Baek-hun’s falling body.
Schwick—
Heavy yet razor-sharp, a single stroke reduced him to nothing.
Sssssssssss—
Kim Baek-hun’s spirit dissolved into black smoke before the Incineration Team Chief.
The Incineration Team Chief flicked the cigarette butt from his lips to the ground.
Flick—
The butt pierced through the black smoke and fell to the floor, scattering sparks.
“Looks like a Grade 5 Silent Spirit Ghost. Good work. Head back.”
The Incineration Team Chief slung the crescent blade across his shoulder and walked toward a container nearby.
The aura radiating from him seemed even more formidable than that of Cha Manager.
“Let’s go. Good work, everyone.”
Cha Manager spoke to Tae-woo and Ji-seok after watching the Incineration Team members escort the unconscious Yang Hak-soo away.

A few days later.
Guihon Trading Company 4th Floor Trainee Team Office.
Tae-woo was attending to his duties as usual, writing up reports.
Then Yang Hak-soo, whose complexion had improved considerably, approached Tae-woo with a slight limp.
“Ah, Manager Yang.”
Yerim recognized him first and stood to greet him.
Ji-seok also rose awkwardly and bowed respectfully.
However, his injuries hadn’t fully healed, and bandages still wrapped his abdomen, so his movements remained stiff.
“Ah, never mind the formalities. I came to say thank you. And to apologize.”
Yang Hak-soo patted Ji-seok’s shoulder as he spoke.
“No, sir. By the way, what about Moon Manager and Lee Pil-ho….”
Ji-seok trailed off.
Yang Hak-soo then exhaled a heavy sigh, his expression growing somber.
“Sigh. Moon Manager will probably bounce back quickly, but Pil-ho… I’m sorry. I should have been stronger. I couldn’t protect him, and instead, by my own hand….”
He couldn’t continue.
Tears had already begun to glisten in his eyes.
“Anyway. I’m grateful to all of you, and I’m sorry. Take care of yourselves. Don’t get hurt.”
He then greeted Ji-seok and Yerim before giving Tae-woo a thumbs up.
Then he turned and went around to greet the other team members.
“I heard Manager Yang is resigning. He avoided legal responsibility for the assault and murder charges, but apparently the guilt was too much for him to continue.”
Yerim said quietly.
“It’s unavoidable. Manager Yang cared deeply for Lee Manager, and he killed him with his own hands.”
Ji-seok murmured.
Yang Hak-soo’s greetings around the office were his final farewells before leaving.
“Team 1 is suddenly down two people. They’ll need to fill those positions. I wonder if they’ll come in after the New Year ceremony.”
Ji-seok muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Sure enough, the very next day.
An internal notice went out announcing special recruitment to fill vacancies in each team.
And it was confirmed that Team 4, where Tae-woo belonged, would be receiving one new employee-level recruit.
A few days later, as the new year began, the New Year ceremony was held and the list of promotion exam candidates was announced.
True to Director Cha Jun-ho’s word, Ji-seok from Team 4 was included, but due to his unhealed abdominal injuries, he ultimately had no choice but to forgo taking the promotion exam.
“But Manager, Manager Bang’s injury was inflicted by Manager Yang when he was possessed in the field. Shouldn’t the company provide some solution?”
Yerim protested to Director Cha Jun-ho, but the answer that came back was cold.
“Field injuries happen all the time. While Manager Bang’s situation is unfortunate, if he can’t take the promotion exam due to injury, the company has no choice. Avoiding injury is also a matter of individual capability, so we can’t provide special favors.”
Even when sharing life and death together, an organization ultimately had to remain ruthless.
“It’s fine. I can take it again next year.”
Ji-seok even found himself comforting Yerim instead.
But when Tae-woo heard this, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Tae-woo, who had completed the internship process on a fast track immediately upon joining and already held the rank of Chief, might have received special treatment himself.
While these matters were unfolding, the Human Resources Team conducted special recruitment interviews, and a new employee joined Team 4.
She was a slender female employee with pale skin, glasses, and a ponytail.
What she carried, however, was a spear exceeding two meters in length.
“I’m Choi Min-hye, who will be working with Team 4 starting today. As you can see, my primary weapon is the spear. I received a divine calling as a child and worked as a fortune teller at a shrine before applying through special recruitment. Please show me the ropes. Let’s see—Yoon Manager and Kim Chief, you two take responsibility for training her.”
Cha Jun-ho, the manager standing beside me, made the introduction.
Then he gestured toward Yerim and Tae-woo.
“Hello. I’m Choi Min-hye.”
Her voice was remarkably delicate, giving no impression that she possessed formidable combat abilities.
Cha Jun-ho nodded and turned to enter his office.
“Please have a seat here for now. I’ll speak with the management team about office supplies. They’ll set everything up right away.”
Yerim spoke to Min-hye with a smile.
Meanwhile, Tae-woo accepted her spear and carefully placed it on the weapon rack positioned in one corner of the office.
At that moment, he was able to discern the characters engraved on the spear’s blade.
