Chapter 95

7 PM.
An alley in front of Happy Motel in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province.
Black vehicles and Guihon Trading employees in formal attire were already positioned throughout the area, surrounding it completely.
These were security personnel primarily deployed for protecting key company personnel, not Training Team or Settlement Team employees capable of capturing ghosts.
They knew of the existence of ghosts and the true nature of Guihon Trading, but they possessed no spiritual sight and were equipped only with standard self-defense techniques and martial arts skills.
Their deployment here was to quickly subdue Yang Hak-soo if he revealed himself.
However, they were people incapable of handling it if a ghost suddenly emerged.
There was good reason for Guihon Trading to deploy these personnel without exorcism abilities to the perimeter rather than the Training Team.
Possessing exorcism ability meant having spiritual sight and sensitivity, which also attracted the attention of ghosts.
If an extraordinarily powerful ghost capable of injuring Moon So-ryeong so severely was inside, stationing a Training Team member nearby could result in secondary damage if that member became possessed.
Therefore, Guihon Trading’s upper management decided to surround the area with security personnel lacking spiritual sight, while deploying Team 4 members—the rising elite—into the building itself.
Cha Jun-ho briefed the team members on these details during the drive to the motel.
Screeeech—
Upon arrival, Tae-woo, Ji-seok, Ye-rim, and Cha Jun-ho all stepped out of the vehicle and looked up at the motel building.
“The ghost stench is overwhelming. Damn thing.”
Cha Jun-ho wrinkled his nose and shook his head.
“This is absurd. Ha.”
Ji-seok also glanced at the building and shook his head.
Despite being told the remodeling was completed only a few years ago, the building’s exterior appeared severely deteriorated.
Rust covered the metal materials, the windows were clouded white like those of an abandoned house, and mold crept up the concrete exterior walls.
“Everyone, grab whatever equipment you can. This doesn’t seem like an ordinary one.”
Cha Jun-ho spoke.
Tae-woo and the team members immediately moved to the back seat and trunk to gather their gear.
“I’ll lead the way in first. Then Bang will follow me, Kim Chief after that. Yoon Manager will cover our rear.”
Cha Jun-ho explained while inspecting his pistol and rifle.
“If it appears, I’ll provide long-range cover according to Bang’s strategy, then Kim Chief rushes in when it closes distance. From the rear, Yoon Manager provides long-range cover, and when it approaches, Kim Chief moves. Got it?”
“Yes, understood.”
Tae-woo nodded solemnly and booted up his smart glasses and ghost microphone.
“Bang needs to position himself at the center of our formation like a pivot. Bang will coordinate by summoning, sealing, and pushing back the ghost, so if Bang falters, our entire formation falls apart. Understand?”
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Ji-seok nodded and took a deep breath.
As Tae-woo listened to Cha Jun-ho’s explanation, he thought they resembled raid players heading into a dungeon.
It felt like melee damage dealers, ranged damage dealers, and healers or magic users forming a party to enter a dungeon.
The only difference was that Cha Jun-ho, who looked like he could fill the tank role, was holding a gun.
“The police have been notified, but upper management already coordinated with them in advance. They said to clean up the scene after we leave. So don’t worry about police showing up—go wild.”
“Is it acceptable to cause damage at this site?”
“I don’t care about sales, compensation, or offsets. The order is absolute—eliminate that murderous bastard, no exceptions.”
Cha Jun-ho chambered a round with a sharp click.
It was clear the higher-ups were furious.
“There should be a microphone at the counter that broadcasts throughout the motel. Use it to play music like you did at the Mureongsan Unclaimed Cemetery. Something good.”
“Understood.”
Tae-woo secured his revolver and blood-stained sword to his body, then strapped the record player across his back.
“All set? Let’s go.”
Cha Jun-ho led the way into the building.

* * *

Upon entering the motel, a darkened counter sat on one side, while a vending machine and coffee maker occupied the opposite wall.
Though all the facilities appeared new, cobwebs and mold clung to every corner of the structure.
Cha Jun-ho swept his gun across the interior the moment he stepped inside, scanning rapidly for any sign of ghost or human.
Confirming the space was empty, he gave a subtle nod, and Ye-rim and Tae-woo vaulted over the counter.
“I’ll turn on the lights.”
Ye-rim spoke softly before flipping the switch.
Whiiiiiing—
Flicker—flicker—
Electricity hummed to life, illuminating the counter and corridor.
But the lights flickered unstably, as if something was wrong.
It was a phenomenon rarely seen in recently renovated buildings.
Meanwhile, Cha Jun-ho stood before the elevator, watching the LED display.
It indicated the First Floor.
He pressed the button, and the doors slid open with a grinding sound.
Naturally, the elevator was empty.
“Captain. Should I start the music now?”
Tae-woo asked at that moment.
Cha Jun-ho turned his head toward the counter.
“Yes. Start it now.”
As he answered, the elevator doors closed again.
That was the moment.

Twang—!

A dark hand suddenly shot through the closing elevator doors and grabbed them.
Cha Manager, startled, stepped back and aimed his rifle into the elevator.
Whirrrr—
The doors opened again, but the elevator remained empty.
Ji-seok and Tae-woo at the counter watched the elevator in silence.
An arm extending to open the doors meant physical contact was possible.
Yet with the doors open again and no form visible, it could only be a ghost, not a person.
In other words, a spirit of Grade 4 or higher had appeared.
“Do something. Turn it on.”
Cha Manager spoke quietly, his gaze fixed on the elevator.
At his words, Tae-woo switched on the microphone and started the LP player beside it.
Beethoven’s music began flowing through the player’s speakers.
It was Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
Cha Manager listened to the music, then bent forward slightly to examine the elevator ceiling.
His rifle barrel tracked his gaze as it moved.

Sssssssss—

That was the moment.
A grotesque ghost burst through the fluorescent light in the elevator ceiling.
It had pitch-black eyes and long hair hanging limply down.
The instant Cha Manager saw the ghost, he pulled the trigger.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—

As bullets flew rapidly, sparks erupted from the elevator ceiling with a deafening roar.
Boom-boom-boom— Crash— Clang—
The elevator ceiling tore open, and fluorescent lights and interior panels shattered.
Simultaneously, all the fluorescent lights throughout the building, including the elevator, went dark and switched to a crimson glow.
Thud—
The ghost that had appeared in the ceiling fell into the elevator.
Already riddled with bullets, holes gaped in its head, shoulders, and neck, but it only leaked black smoke—it did not dissipate.
It was clearly a high-grade spirit.
“Insolent bastard.”
Cha Manager cursed as he looked down at the ghost that had fallen into the elevator, then pinned its body beneath his boot.
Thump!
Holding the rifle in one hand, he unleashed a barrage of gunfire directly into the ghost’s head.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—

The ghost couldn’t dodge and its head was riddled with holes.
Click—
Once the bullets ran dry and the rifle bolt locked back, Cha Manager retreated.
Gooooooo—
The ghost collapsed in the center of the elevator with its head blown open, wisps of black smoke drifting from it as its hands twitched.
Sssssssssss—
Soon, black smoke engulfed it from the head down, and it vanished.
All that remained on the elevator floor were the bullet holes.
Tae-woo watched the scene unfold with a puzzled expression, wondering if it was really necessary to be this brutal to a single ghost.
But Cha Manager stepped back with his chin raised, finally fixing his gaze on the closing elevator doors.
“That thing’s already watching us. We need to show it exactly what’s coming for it.”
He said this quietly while replacing his magazine.
Only then did Tae-woo understand why Cha Manager had destroyed the ghost so brutally.
“Grab the master key. Let’s go.”
Cha Manager spoke with a slight twitch of his lips, then took the lead toward the emergency staircase.
In the meantime, Ji-seok, who had grabbed the master key, tossed it to him.
Catch—
Cha Manager caught the master key with practiced ease and pocketed it.
“Let’s go.”
Ye-rim gestured to Tae-woo to move, then stepped out from behind the counter.

* * *

Second Floor of Happy Motel.
As soon as the emergency staircase door opened, Cha Manager, Ji-seok, Tae-woo, and Ye-rim filed in one after another.
The corridor was bathed entirely in crimson light.
He stood ready, his rifle trained down the corridor, waiting calmly.

Whiiiing— Whiiiing—

A cold wind swept across the Corridor, brushing against the necks of the group as it passed.
Cha Manager gave a subtle nod to the team members behind him, then stepped forward one pace at a time.
The Corridor was shaped like an inverted ‘U’, stretching straight ahead once they exited the elevator and emergency stairwell door.
Moving straight to the far end, the Corridor opened into passages on both sides.
Guest rooms were arranged along both sides of the Corridor in this layout.
Since the Motel was currently not accepting guests, all the guest room doors stood wide open.
As Cha Manager advanced, he remained vigilant, scanning each open room as he passed.
He swept his gaze quickly across each guest room from the Corridor without entering, passing by swiftly.
Then Ji-seok, Tae-woo, and Ye-rim followed, scanning each room from the Corridor as they passed.
After crossing the Corridor and passing several guest rooms this way, a strange sound echoed out.
It came from a guest room they had just passed.

Brrrrrrrrring—

It was the ring of an in-house telephone installed in each guest room.
Everyone stopped and turned their bodies toward the room they had just passed.
When Ye-rim turned her head toward Cha Manager, he gestured with his chin to move forward.
Ye-rim nodded and slowly approached the guest room.
Her gun barrel tracked precisely with her line of sight.
Click—
Then she activated the tactical flashlight attached to her firearm.
A bright beam illuminated the doorway.
Brrrrring—
The ringing continued.
Ye-rim swallowed hard, then thrust her gun barrel sharply into the room.
The flashlight beam swept across the interior, but no ghost was visible.
Yet she could sense it.
There was a ghost in this room.
Tae-woo’s Ghost Radar was also clearly indicating that something was present in this room.
Whether it was Yang Hak-soo or the ghost of Kim Baek-hun remained unclear.
Whoosh—
Ye-rim entered the guest room.
Passing the Bathroom directly beside the guest room door, the bedroom with the bed came into view.
