Jin Seon-mi understood a little, but not completely: "What do you mean? I'm just an ordinary person, I can't even do what you guys do."
"Because of the contract you signed with him when you were little, as long as you call his name, no matter where he is, he will appear by your side, but whether to save him is up to you."
Lee Yeong carefully explained it to her, but he didn't believe it; if Seon-mi didn't summon Sun Wukong, the people of the Heavenly Realm would definitely not stand idly by, and would still find a way to rescue Sun Wukong.
...
"Eun-Tak, the day after tomorrow is Christmas. I'm planning to give Lee Yeong a Christmas gift, but I don't know what to get him?"
Since Sunny was recently looking for a new storefront, Eun-Sang and Eun-Tak happily skipped work again. At this moment, the two were heading towards the shopping center.
"For Lee Yeong, you are the best gift. Why don't you give yourself to him? He'd be overjoyed!"
Eun-Tak smiled mischievously. Eun-Sang and Lee Yeong were constantly showing off their affection, which had a bad influence on her. Eun-Sang was extremely shy because of Eun-Tak's words.
"Stop joking, I'm serious. He's done so much for me, I just want to thank him!"
"Alright, alright, let's go look ahead first."
Seoul Tianxing Shopping Center is located at the border of Seoul and Incheon, becoming a magnet for countless shopaholics within a hundred-mile radius.
However, almost no one knew that this place was originally a mass grave. During its construction, dozens of murders occurred consecutively, and all the victims knelt on the ground, repenting with their hands.
To protect themselves, the government and developers sealed off this information, destroyed the archives, and buried all the victims' bodies in the foundation.
Since then, every midnight, roaring sounds would come from the parking lot. The management thought it was the wind, so they didn't pay attention.
"Do you feel it? It's been colder in the parking lot recently. A few days ago, someone even saw a black shadow. It couldn't be haunted, could it?"
"I heard that many people were buried under here back then. I wonder if it's true?"
"Who knows? Bah, bah, bah. But, don't you think it's too quiet today?"
"Shut up, it's broad daylight. Don't scare yourselves. Be smart, and don't say what shouldn't be said."
At this moment, the team leader's voice came through the radio. The team leader was nearing retirement age and knew some things about what happened back then.
The developers tried many ways to shut him up, but in the end, he only asked for the position of security team leader.
"What are you talking about? Forget it, let's go back now."
"Use this gift to tell them we're back, hahaha..."
The security guards who were originally on patrol were now like walking corpses, emitting eerie roars from their mouths.
...
"Eun-Sang, how about this ruby pendant? And have the boss engrave your names on it."
"Okay, that's the one. I believe Lee Yeong will like it too."
Just then, the entire mall suddenly plunged into darkness, and people instantly panicked, running towards the exits.
But in a moment, an invisible ripple spread from the parking lot, directly engulfing the entire mall and trapping everyone inside.
Next, it was a massacre. The security guards possessed by evil spirits began to slaughter indiscriminately.
...
Lee Yeong had just seen off the crew members when he lost his connection to Eun-Sang.
He had left an imprint of his magic on Cha Eun-Sang, which could withstand three attacks from ghosts.
When Lee Yeong arrived at the mall, he saw a ghost domain formed by soaring Yin energy. It was clear that Eun-Sang was trapped inside, which was why he couldn't sense her.
"Eun-Tak, are you okay? Let's go quickly, find a place to hide!"
Just as the evil spirit was about to attack Cha Eun-Sang, a shadow ninja appeared and blocked the evil spirit. Seeing this, Cha Eun-Sang didn't have time to think and quickly pulled Eun-Tak to escape.
Unlike Eun-Sang, Eun-Tak could see clearly. After hiding in a restroom with Eun-Sang, she prepared to summon Kim Shin for help.
Kim Shin, who appeared in the women's restroom, was a bit stunned. He was about to scold Eun-Tak when Eun-Tak directly threw herself into his arms.
Feeling Eun-Tak's trembling body and the ghostly aura permeating the mall, he understood.
"What's going on? How did you get trapped in a ghost domain?"
"We don't know either. We came to shop, and then we couldn't get out. Those people possessed by evil spirits are still killing indiscriminately outside."
Eun-Sang looked at Kim Shin with a face full of disbelief. Was this Eun-Tak's boyfriend? And what about the evil spirits and ghost domain she mentioned? Could it be... she already didn't dare to think further.
Eun-Tak saw her expression and knew she was scared, so she quickly said, "Let's get out first, Lee Yeong should be looking for you too."
Immediately, under Kim Shin's protection, the three walked outside. Lee Yeong also approached them, following his senses.
In the underground parking lot, four evil spirits were guiding the blood of the deceased to gather underground.
A huge talisman appeared out of thin air, but as more and more blood gathered, the talisman's light began to dim, as if it could disappear at any moment.
Lee Yeong casually shot a crimson fire cannon, burning two evil spirits to ashes, and then saw Kim Shin coming out with Eun-Tak and Eun-Sang.
When Eun-Sang saw Lee Yeong appear, she could no longer suppress her inner fear and cried, falling into Lee Yeong's arms.
"Eun-Tak, thank you, and Kim Shin, thank you for saving Eun-Sang."
Kim Shin didn't know Lee Yeong and thought Eun-Tak had told Lee Yeong his name. Eun-Tak was a little embarrassed to hear Lee Yeong's words, after all, she was also the one being protected.
"I sense a power awakening underground, it should be a powerful ghost; these evil spirits are probably also subordinates of that powerful ghost. They killed so many people to use their blood to break the powerful ghost's seal."
Kim Shin's face was a bit solemn, clearly understanding the terror of a powerful ghost. If it wasn't eliminated, the dead would also turn into evil spirits.
"Just a powerful ghost, to break the seal, it actually caused such a big commotion; it touched my person, no matter who it is, I'll scatter it today."
Lee Yeong didn't take it seriously at all. He only knew that no one could bully his woman.
If Eun-Sang hadn't come out with Eun-Tak today, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He currently didn't have the ability to bring people back to life, nor could he accept the pain of losing his loved one.
"Let's get rid of the evil spirits here first, so they don't jump out and cause trouble when we deal with that powerful ghost."
After saying that, Lee Yeong directly summoned the Ling Shuang sword. Its domineering appearance, coupled with its chilling sword energy, turned evil spirits into ashes wherever the sword light swept.
Kim Shin also materialized the sword from his chest into his hand. As a goblin of nearly a thousand years, and an undefeated general in his lifetime, he wasn't afraid even of a thousand-year-old powerful ghost, let alone evil spirits, which were like food on a plate.
In just a moment, the two of them had slain all the evil spirits.
Kim Shin didn't expect Lee Yeong to have such strength. He was clearly just a human, yet he could rival gods. Was he really too old-fashioned?
"Ah haha... ha... I'm finally out. What if they sealed me for hundreds of years? In the end, I still won... haha..."
