Chapter 94

A short while later.
Guihon Trading Company 4th Floor Conference Room.
The Team 4 members gathered in the conference room regarded Cha Jun-ho with grave expressions.
Cha Jun-ho sat at the head of the conference table and exhaled a heavy sigh.
“Haaaa.”
His sigh was dry and weighty.
Everyone exchanged glances but said nothing, waiting for him to speak first.
“You’ve all heard the news, right? Team 1 went out into the field yesterday and one person died. Moon So-ryeong, who was with them, fell from the 3rd floor and suffered critical injuries.”
“Yes, we heard.”
Ji-seok answered first.
“The deceased employee is Lee Pil-ho—he was probably in the same training class as you, Ye-rim, wasn’t he?”
“…Yes, that’s correct.”
This time, Ye-rim answered.
“But how did such a thing happen? What about the third person who was with them?”
Ji-seok asked with a serious expression.
At that, Cha Jun-ho took a deep breath and began explaining calmly.

The team was deployed at 10 PM.
As arranged, no guests were checked in, and the owner and staff had all vacated the building.
The three of them began their search from the first floor as usual, but the incident occurred on the 3rd floor.
One of the staff members suddenly became possessed and attacked Lee Pil-ho, killing him instantly on the spot.
Moon So-ryeong was injured while trying to stop this and, as she continued to flee, was cornered and threw herself out the window.
“The possessed employee is Yang Hak-soo. He’s a senior by two training classes—experienced and seasoned. I’m not sure how he became possessed, but Yang is currently missing and has completely vanished from the motel.”
Cha Jun-ho clasped his hands together and spoke with a grave face.
“Yang Hak-soo… isn’t he the one who uses dual swords as weapons? I think he practiced dual-sword technique.”
Ji-seok asked cautiously.
“That’s right. Like Kim Chief, he hunts ghosts with blades—he’s known for wielding two short swords, slightly shorter than Japanese katanas. He’s probably the fastest in terms of attack speed among all our Training Team members.”
Cha Jun-ho said quietly, glancing at Tae-woo.
Both Ji-seok and Ye-rim, knowing Tae-woo’s speed, turned their gaze toward him.
In that moment, Tae-woo felt a premonition flash through his mind—that he would be the one to face Yang Hak-soo.
“But Manager, if he completely vanished from the motel, hasn’t he already fled elsewhere? Why are we going to the motel?”
Ye-rim raised her hand and asked.
“He vanished from the motel, but no one caught him leaving it.”
“What?”
“When Moon was injured, we immediately called in a buster alert, and executives of manager rank and above went straight to investigate. We recovered Moon and Lee Pil-ho while conducting a thorough search of the motel. We checked every CCTV at the motel entrance, all the security cameras around the building, dashcam footage—everything. But there’s nothing. No trace of him.”
“Hmm.”
“Our conclusion is that he’s still inside that motel building. We don’t know if he remains possessed or if Yang Hak-soo and the ghost have separated, but what’s certain is that Yang Hak-soo’s physical body is still in the motel.”
“Is there no possibility that the murderous bastard, Kim Baek-hun’s ghost, fled alone?”
“That seems unlikely. Given that he’s been in that motel for three years since his death, he appears to be bound to the building like a territorial spirit.”
“I see.”
Ji-seok and Ye-rim nodded in agreement.
“Since Guihon Trading currently has the building surrounded, if he’s still inside, he couldn’t have escaped. Let’s go finish this once and for all and rescue Yang Hak-soo.”
Cha Jun-ho spoke with grim determination.
“Yes, understood.”
Everyone nodded in response.
“Kim Chief made a camera—I’ll share the footage from the battle site so you can all review it and plan your strategy.”
“Yes, understood.”
Cha Jun-ho finished speaking and left the conference room.

* * *

“Sigh. This is something else.”
After Cha Jun-ho entered his private office, Ji-seok sat down and exhaled heavily.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye-rim asked.
“Looking at this, it seems like the higher-ups specifically singled us out. Man. This is going to be rough.”
“The higher-ups singled us out? Why?”
“Because of Kim Chief!”
Ji-seok answered while looking at Tae-woo.
Tae-woo suddenly lifted his head with a bewildered expression.
“Ah, it’s not that Kim Chief did anything wrong. It’s just that since he’s the most promising, I figured the higher-ups specifically designated Team 4 to go.”
“Ah, I see.”
Tae-woo answered casually.
“Still, isn’t Yang Hak-soo supposed to be incredibly skilled? How are we supposed to…”
Ye-rim murmured worriedly.
Just then, Cha Jun-ho received a group message via the company messenger.
It was the battle site footage file that Team 1 had captured.
“The manager is going with us too, so don’t worry too much. Let’s watch the footage.”
Ji-seok pointed at the monitor and spoke.
Ye-rim and Tae-woo stood up and watched the screen together from Ji-seok’s desk.
It seemed the deceased Lee Pil-ho had been the one recording.
The scene of their initial entry into the motel.
All the fluorescent lights were on, yet an ominous atmosphere permeated the space.
[The spiritual energy is strong. Everyone stay sharp.]
[Yes, understood, sir.]
[Let’s go up the stairs. Follow me.]
Moon So-ryeong’s voice alternated with Yang Hak-soo’s and Lee Pil-ho’s.
As they moved forward, various forms of ghosts revealed themselves on the screen.
However, they weren’t captured as clearly as they had been during the Technical Department’s tests.
The ghosts’ dissipation was also expressed as white forms scattering like particles.
Despite this, the way they approached at tremendous speed was clearly visible, allowing me to sense how urgent the situation had been at that moment.
Up to that point, there seemed to be no major problems.
But when they reached the 3rd Floor via the emergency staircase, the camera Lee Pil-ho was holding suddenly turned toward Yang Hak-soo.
[Chief! What’s wrong?]
[Yang Hak-soo! What’s happening!]
Amid urgent voices, Yang Hak-soo stood trembling in the middle of the corridor, his body hunched.
[Damn it. Possession! When did it get close?]
[Chief! Are you alright?]
[Lee Pil-ho! Back away! Back away!]
[Chief!]
[I said back away!!]
While Yang Hak-soo continued trembling, the screen shook violently.
After backing up several meters, Yang Hak-soo suddenly collapsed to the floor.
As Lee Pil-ho, holding the camera, tried to approach, Moon So-ryeong grabbed him again.
[You can’t get close.]
The camera turned from Yang Hak-soo toward Moon So-ryeong.
Her face appeared very close to the camera lens.
Her expression was also flushed with intensity.
And in the very moment the camera turned back toward Yang Hak-soo—
Yang Hak-soo stood motionless, dual swords gripped in both hands.

[Chief—!]

At the same time, he charged directly toward the camera.
Slash—slash—slash—screech—

[Gasp! Gasp!]
[Yang Hak-soo! Have you lost your mind?!]

It happened in an instant.
The camera fell to the ground, and in the frame, the arm of the dead Lee Pil-ho dropped limply.
Moon So-ryeong’s figure retreated backward, flashed across the angle, and disappeared.
Then the possessed Yang Hak-soo’s back appeared briefly before vanishing.
“….”
Everyone who watched the footage could only clench their teeth in silence.
And about 2 minutes later.
Yang Hak-soo’s face suddenly popped into the camera’s frame lying on the ground.

[Kekekekekekek!]

Crack—!
Then, staring at the camera with a grotesque laugh, he destroyed it, and the screen went dark.
“What rank do you think it is?”
Tae-woo asked at last.
“Since it’s in a possessed state, we can’t classify it as 4th or 5th rank based on wielding a weapon. But—given what happened to Manager Moon, I’d say there’s a strong possibility it’s 5th rank.”
Ji-seok answered.
“A 5th rank Silent Spirit Ghost? Wouldn’t that require multiple spirits tangled together?”
Tae-woo asked further.
The Silent Spirit Ghosts he’d encountered were certainly forms that had absorbed multiple souls.
At the Jangdok Training Ground, massacred Soldier Ghosts had been condensed together, and in the JY Electronics request, countless spirits from the Unclaimed Persons Cemetery had been clustered.
But the spirit detected at that motel was only Kim Baek-hun, with no mention of other spirits present.
Yet a Silent Spirit Ghost.
Tae-woo couldn’t make sense of it.
But Ji-seok countered as if it were obvious.
“Kim Baek-hun killed people. Those spirits must be clinging all over his soul.”
“Ah, I see.”
“How resentful and furious those people killed by Kim Baek-hun’s hands must be. And even in death, they can’t separate from his spirit. So that accumulated rage could very well have solidified into a 5th rank Silent Spirit Ghost.”
Ye-rim added after hearing Ji-seok’s explanation.
“Wow…. A 5th rank Silent Spirit Ghost born from a serial killer attached to the body of a swordsmanship master like Manager Yang. This is absolutely insane.”
Ji-seok sighed at those words.
“Yeah. That’s why I said this wouldn’t be an ordinary tough job.”
He wiped his face dry and continued.
“From what I can see, the other spirits popping out don’t seem particularly threatening. Since the motel building has 10 floors total, we should be able to find Manager Yang by sweeping from the 1st floor upward, right?”
Ji-seok outlined the strategy while touching his chin.
“Since the Manager is coming with us this time, long-range attacks will definitely be covered. While searching, if minor spirits like Wandering Spirits or other lesser ghosts appear, we’ll handle them cleanly according to the situation. Now, what should we do if Manager Yang appears?”
He immediately pointed at Tae-woo.
“I’ll lure out the Kim Baek-hun spirit, and with Cha Manager and Yoon Manager covering long-range, Kim Chief will rush in to face Manager Yang.”
Hearing this, Ye-rim asked in surprise.
“Tae-woo is supposed to face Manager Yang? No matter how fast Tae-woo is, it might be difficult to match Manager Yang?”
“There’s no other choice. Among us, Kim Chief is the only one with close-range coverage. Didn’t you see what happened to Moon So-ryeong? Long-range alone won’t cut it against this thing.”
“Still, Tae-woo’s experience is still lacking. Going blade-to-blade with the manager…”
“Don’t think of it as the manager. Think of it as a ghost.”
Ji-seok countered with a resolute expression.
Ye-rim slowly turned her head toward Tae-woo.
“Yes, understood.”
Tae-woo nodded with equal determination.
“I suppose it’s time I pulled this out.”
Ji-seok opened a drawer and retrieved something black that resembled a pistol.
“You had something like that?”
Ye-rim asked in surprise.
Ji-seok exhaled heavily with a grave expression and gripped the black object.
It was a taser.
“Even if someone is possessed, once their muscles seize up, they won’t be able to move. If it thrashes too violently, I’ll have to paralyze it with this.”
Ji-seok checked the safety on the taser and set it gently on the desk.
