Chapter 76

Bang— bang bang— bang bang—

A cacophony of noise erupted from the hazy windows and entrance of the Management Office.
It was the sound of something pounding from outside, demanding entry.
Ji-seok stood motionless in the center of the Management Office, drawing deep, measured breaths.
In one hand he clutched a fan, while the other gripped a rigid bundle of talismans stacked like playing cards.

Crack—

In an instant, one of the glass panes began to fracture.
Ji-seok slowly turned his head toward it.

Craaack—

A spiderweb of cracks spread across the glass, and through the fissures, strands of hair began to creep inward with an unsettling slither.
Yet remarkably, the cracks and hair could not touch where the talismans had been affixed.
Shatter—
At that very moment!
A section of the glass pane shattered, sending shards flying.
And through the opening, the eyes of a ghost weeping tears of blood emerged into view.
Ji-seok, as if he had been waiting for this exact moment, hurled a talisman toward it.

Whoooosh—

The rigid talisman flew in a straight line, piercing directly through the partially shattered glass and embedding itself precisely in the ghost’s eye.
Thud—
The ghost’s head snapped backward violently, then dissolved into black smoke and vanished.
Ji-seok drew another deep breath, his senses now fully attuned to every corner of the space, vigilant for wherever the next breach might occur.

* * *

At that same moment.
Cha Jun-ho aimed his gun at the Female Ghost in the white t-shirt.
Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap—
And he immediately pulled the trigger.
Whoooosh—
But the Female Ghost in the white t-shirt vanished in an instant, and the bullets lodged themselves in the ground and trees around where she had been.
“Damn it.”
Cha Jun-ho muttered under his breath.
“Could it be Jang Min-hee’s ghost?”
Tae-u asked.
“Jeans and a white t-shirt are common enough fashion, but if those were the clothes Jang Min-hee was wearing when she disappeared, it’s hard to dismiss as mere coincidence.”
“Then why does she keep telling us to leave?”
“Think of it as denial of self. Would someone who can’t accept her own death welcome the people who’ve come looking for her corpse?”
“Ah, I see your point.”
“She might even want to kill us to deny her own reality.”
….
At Cha Jun-ho’s words, Tae-u swallowed hard.
“She’s coming again.”
Just then, Cha Jun-ho pointed behind Tae-u and spoke in a low voice.
He immediately took aim and began firing.
Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap—
Tae-u spun around and began slashing at the ghosts.
Slash—slash—slash—
Each time Cha Jun-ho pulled the trigger, each time Tae-u’s blade reflected the moonlight, black smoke erupted.
Vanquishing the ghosts one after another, they slowly advanced toward where the Female Ghost in the white t-shirt had emerged.
Grooooooan—
Just then, the ghost who had disappeared reappeared from the upper level of the tiered cemetery.
She looked down at Cha Jun-ho and Tae-u with disdain, tilting her head back and spreading both arms wide.

Whoooooosh—

Black smoke began swirling violently around her.
Cha Jun-ho slowly lowered his gun at the sudden supernatural phenomenon.
It was something he had never witnessed before.
But Tae-u remained focused on cutting down the ghosts swarming around him.

Grooooooan—

The Female Ghost in the white t-shirt rose slightly into the air.
Then the black smoke swirling around her crashed down to the ground in one violent motion.
Whoooooosh—
Like a black tsunami spreading in all directions, the dark smoke billowed outward from around her.
That was the moment.
Rummmmmble—
The earth roared violently as the burial mounds scattered across the cemetery before Cha Jun-ho and Tae-u collapsed inward.
Then a colossal ‘face’ began rising from the ground.
Its size was staggering.
Rummmmmble—
Grooooooan—
Soon its grotesque form became unmistakably clear.
The massive ghost rising above the Unclaimed Persons Cemetery had its lower body buried in the earth, exposing only its torso, arms, and head.
Its height seemed to exceed that of a five-story building, and a single arm appeared to stretch well over thirty meters in length.
What was as overwhelming as its size was its appearance.
The female ghost with long hair and pale skin had pupils disproportionately small compared to its enormous eyes, with dark crimson capillaries spreading from around the eyes to the temples and eyebrows.
The nose and lips appeared ordinary, yet the overwhelming scale made them seem grotesque.
Grooooooan—
The ghost lowered its pupils to gaze upon Tae-u and Cha Jun-ho.
“It’s Jang Min-hee.”
Cha Jun-ho spoke the moment he confirmed the ghost’s face.

“Get out— get out—”

The ghost looked at Cha Jun-ho and Tae-u, opening its mouth unnaturally wide as it spoke.
Screeeeech—
Its cheeks tore open as its jaw stretched grotesquely long.
It was an utterly repulsive sight.
Kuoooooo—!
Jang Min-hee’s ghost suddenly thrust its arm to the side and swung it with tremendous force.
In that instant, Tae-u recalled the Grade 5 Silent Spirit Ghost he’d seen at the Jangdok Training Ground—that massive arm.
But this was different.
Though Jang Min-hee’s ghost’s arm was thinner and more slender than that colossal limb, it moved with far greater freedom and posed a far greater threat.
Craaaaaaack—
Jang Min-hee’s ghost’s arm swept across the ground, bearing down on Cha Jun-ho and Tae-u.
It was an overwhelmingly menacing assault.
The ground trembled beneath it, dirt and stones scattering in all directions.
Cha Jun-ho immediately retreated and shouted at Tae-u.
“Kim Chief! Fall back!”
But as Tae-u watched the arm bearing down on him, he realized that simply evading wouldn’t work.
Just as he’d experienced at the Jangdok Training Ground, evasion would only invite endless waves of attacks.
It would be better to meet the incoming arm head-on and cut through it.
“Kim Chief, you bastard!”
Cha Jun-ho, having retreated, cried out.
Shink—
But Tae-u didn’t even glance at him. He sheathed the Blood Water Blade and gripped the Ghost Slayer Blade with both hands.
Craaaaaaack—
Jang Min-hee’s ghost’s arm, advancing like a bulldozer, swept across the ground as it approached with terrifying speed.
Tae-u held his sword low and charged toward the arm.
“Uuuaaahhh!”
When he reached close range, he drove power through both legs and leaped high into the air.
Simultaneously, he swung his blade upward with tremendous force.
Shwaaaaaaack—
Then an astonishing sight unfolded.
A wide arc of blade energy erupted from Tae-u’s sword, cleanly severing Jang Min-hee’s ghost’s arm.
Shzzzzzzt—
The severed arm fell to the ground and tumbled across the dirt, carried by its own momentum.

Kyaaaaaaaaaack—

Jang Min-hee’s ghost opened its mouth wide and let out a piercing scream.
Along with that cry, an eerie voice—a mixture of male and female, young and old—echoed from all directions.
Still suspended in mid-air, Tae-u examined the severed surface where the arm had been cut.

Screeeeeeeeech—

At the severed cross-section of the colossal Jang Min-hee Ghost’s arm, countless spectral faces twisted in agony, their mouths gaping wide as they shrieked in unison.
It had been a Grade 5 Silent Spirit Ghost.
Thud—
Tae-u landed on the ground.
He immediately assessed the situation.

Groooooooooah—

As Jang Min-hee Ghost and the countless spirits within her shrieked, the severed arm thrashed about like a living fish.
The sheer mass and weight of it caused the earth itself to tremble.
Cha Jun-ho immediately examined the cross-section of the severed arm.
There too, the faces of spirits—young and old, male and female—were laid bare.
“You bastards—!”
He unleashed a relentless barrage of gunfire directly at the severed arm’s cross-section.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—
Click—
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—
As he emptied two full magazines in rapid succession, patches of the severed arm’s skin began to blacken as if rotting, releasing tendrils of dark smoke.
Sssssssssss—
As the blackened area spread wider, the dark smoke poured forth with increasing intensity.
Soon, the severed arm was completely obliterated.
All that remained was Jang Min-hee Ghost’s main body.
Cha Jun-ho reloaded his weapon and turned his gaze toward her.

“Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out!!!!”

Jang Min-hee Ghost glared at Tae-u with her small eyes, shrieking.
Her expression was consumed by rage.
Screeeech—
With each cry, the dark crimson capillaries around her eyes grew thicker and spread wider.
“Shut up!”
Cha Jun-ho pulled the trigger repeatedly, aiming at Jang Min-hee Ghost’s head.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—
Bullets streamed forth, embedding themselves in the ghost’s head and neck.
With each impact, dark smoke erupted in small bursts, but the ghost neither dissipated nor diminished in size.
Then it happened.

Craaaaaash—

Jang Min-hee’s ghost swung her other arm in a wide arc, crashing it down hard where Tae-u had been standing.
Whoosh—
He jumped backward to evade the attack, then slashed at her torso.
Shhwiiing—
But the damage wasn’t nearly as severe as when her arm had severed another arm.
“That bastard.”
Cha Jun-ho watched with renewed admiration as Tae-u bounded several meters into the air with each leap.
Then, as if a brilliant idea had struck him, a sly smile spread across his face.
“Kim Chief! Think you can jump all the way up to that ghost’s head!”
Cha Jun-ho shouted the question loudly.
Tae-u, who had just landed after his last leap, quickly scanned the ghost’s body and answered.
“Yes! I think it’s possible!”
A single jump to the top would be difficult, but using her body as a stepping stone while ascending seemed entirely feasible.
The moment Cha Jun-ho heard Tae-u’s response, he pulled two round objects from his waist and hurled them toward him.
“Shove these right into that ghost’s mouth.”
Thump—
As Cha Jun-ho spoke, Tae-u caught the objects.
The instant they touched his hands, a chill ran down his spine.
They were actual hand grenades.
The weight and cold touch of the metal conveyed their lethal force unmistakably.
Tae-u looked at him in shock.
“Snap out of it and move!”
Cha Jun-ho barked the command.
Tae-u decided to follow orders and charged forward.
In that instant—Jang Min-hee’s ghost raised her arm again and brought it down on Tae-u.
Craaaaaash—
The earth trembled as sand and rock fragments scattered in all directions.
Simultaneously, the collapsed burial mounds churned and heaved, disgorging half-decomposed coffins.
Tae-u timed his jump perfectly, launching himself high to dodge the attack.
Thud—
Sword and grenade in hand, he ran up along Jang Min-hee’s arm.
Grooooan—
Jang Min-hee’s ghost tried to shake Tae-u off her arm.
So he leaped again, landing on her shoulder.
Then, with one more bound, he vaulted onto the top of her head.
Whoosh—
With another jump from here, Tae-u could propel himself nearly six or seven stories high with his bare body.

Kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick—

The ghost seized the moment, opening its maw impossibly wide as if to devour Tae-u whole.
Squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch—
The cheeks tore open again as the jaw stretched grotesquely outward.
And then—within that gaping throat, I could see countless souls pressed against the walls.
Like drowning people thrashing in water, countless unidentified souls writhed and gasped within the ghost’s throat.

Kyaaaaaaagh—
Graaaaaaagh—

From within that throat came the screams of countless people.
Tae-u’s brow furrowed sharply as he pulled the pins from the grenades with his teeth.
Ting—ting—
The moment the safety pins and clips came free, he dropped the grenades directly into the ghost’s open mouth.
Whoooosh—
Both grenades fell straight down into the ghost’s throat.
And they detonated without hesitation.
Thud-boom—
An enormous explosion should have roared out, but because it erupted within the ghost’s body, the sound seemed muffled and swallowed.
Yet the effect was considerable.
The ghost’s neck swelled, expanding to twice its previous size.
Kabooooooom—
Then, like a balloon bursting, the neck exploded outward, black smoke billowing in all directions.
