Suddenly, Nam Hee-chul stops.
Nam Hee-chul: Ah... I'm bored... Shall we start now....
이남주
Male Lead: What are you saying you're starting?

Yeri: I know....?
Nam Hee-cheol starts moving again.
Nam Hee-cheol enters the apartment.
이남주
Male Lead: Is this an apartment?
예리
Yeri: Why did they come? Is this their house?
Nam Hee-chul goes up in the elevator.
이남주
Male Lead: Let's wait outside!
예리
Yeri: Right!
20 minutes later
이남주
Male Lead: Aren't you coming?
예리
Yeri: Let's wait just a little longer!
Just then, a man wearing a black hat and mask comes out carrying a large bag.
예리
Yeri: Hey! Isn't that the guy?
이남주
Male Lead: Uh... it's similar! Let's follow!
Namju and Yeri chase after him again.
Nam Hee-cheol enters the alley again.
10:40 PM
이남주
Male Lead: What are you doing at this hour?
예리
Yeri: I know, right.....
at that time
Kyaa...... Ugh......
A woman's scream is heard for a moment and then cuts off.
이남주
Male Lead: W-what! Wasn't that a scream just now?
예리
Yeri: I think that's right. Let's hurry!
Namju and Yeri turn the corner of the alley.
But there is no one.
이남주
Namju: What? Where did Nam Hee-chul go?
예리
Yeri: You probably haven't been able to get out of here yet! I'll go to the right, so you go to the left!
이남주
Male Lead: Got it!!
Yeri goes to the right and Nam-ju goes to the left.
이남주
Male Lead: Where on earth are you?
There are bloodstains on the floor.
이남주
Male Lead: No way?!
The male protagonist follows the bloodstains into a factory.
이남주
Male Lead: Here...?
Then a sound is heard.
Woman: P-P-Please... save me...!
Nam Hee-chul: Ha...ha...ha!!! I love this moment so much, when you're begging to be spared!! A little more!! Beg a little more!!
Nam Hee-cheol says with a smile.
Woman: Please... save me!! I'll do everything you tell me to!!
Nam Hee-chul: Ha...... Really? Are you going to do everything I tell you to do?
Woman: Yes... please save me!!
이남주
Male Lead: Damn it.... It's not the right timing yet.... I'll have to sneak in when they let their guard down...
Nam Hee-chul: Then if you cut off five of your fingers with this knife, I'll spare your life!
Woman... th... that's...
Nam Hee-chul: Why? You can't do it? Then you should just die!!
The moment Nam Hee-chul was about to stab the woman with a knife
The male lead runs over and kicks Nam Hee-cheol.
Nam Hee-chul: Ugh.....
이남주
Male Lead: Are you okay? Get out of here quickly! And call the police!!
Woman: Yes, thank you!! Be careful!! I'll call the police right away!!
The woman goes outside.
Nam Hee-chul: Ah... f*ck, what are you? You ruined everything!!
이남주
Male Lead: Shut up! Do you think you'll get away with this? I'm killing you with my own hands today!
Nam Hee-chul: Hahaha, you like me? Oho... Looking closely, aren't you a student at our university?
이남주
Male Lead: You know a thing or two? I can see ghosts, you know? There were two female ghosts on your shoulder, so I followed you around for a bit!
Nam Hee-chul: Ha... So you have such a goddamn ability? Well, it doesn't matter. If you die here and that woman is killed, it's over, right?
이남주
Male Lead: Hahaha, if you can kill me, go ahead!
Nam Hee-cheol lunges at Nam-ju holding a knife.
When Nam Hee-cheol swings the knife, Nam-ju dodges but gets a cut on his face.
Nam Hee-chul: Hehe.... I wonder how long you can last? I’ll make an exception for you and smash your whole body to pieces to kill you!!
Nam Hee-cheol runs to stab Nam-ju in the stomach.
However, the quick-footed male protagonist easily dodges and kicks him.
Nam Hee-chul: Oho.... You're pretty good....
Nam Hee-cheol rushes in again.
이남주
Male Lead: (Ugh, at this rate... I'm going to be in danger!!)
After dodging Nam Hee-cheol's attack, the male lead picks up an iron bat that was nearby.
이남주
Male Lead: You're dead now!
Nam Hee-chul: Haha, bring it on!
Nam Hee-cheol rushes in and stabs Nam-ju in the leg.
이남주
Male Lead: Aaaah!!!
Nam Hee-chul: Hahaha... I think it's over now? You can't even move!!
The male lead swings the bat.
It hits Nam Hee-cheol's shoulder.
Nam Hee-chul: Ugh... that hurts!! It's over now!!
Nam Hee-cheol rushes toward Nam-ju.
이남주
Male Lead: (Ugh... Is it over....)
at that time
Nam Hee-chul: W-what! My shoulders feel heavy!!
Nam Hee-cheol is unable to move.
이남주
Male Lead: What is this?
Upon closer inspection, two ghosts are pressing down on Nam Hee-chul's shoulder.
Ghost 1: Hurry up and take this guy!!
Ghost 2: Rend Our Grievance!!
The male lead stands up, runs to Nam Hee-cheol, and hits him on the head with a bat.
Nam Hee-cheol collapses and faints.
이남주
Male Lead: *Phew*... *Phew*... Thank you....
Ghost 1: No.... I think our grudge has been resolved thanks to you....
Ghost 2: Thank you so much....
이남주
Male Lead: I will definitely send this guy to prison....
Two ghosts nod, ascend into the sky, and disappear.
이남주
Male Lead: Ha... This is tough... Ugh... My legs...
There is blood on my leg.
Wiiiiiiing
I can hear the sound of a siren.
이남주
Male Lead: Looks like they've arrived.....
The male lead collapses.
