### Summary
Returning from the lighthearted Alternate Universe special, the main narrative pivots into a supernatural action arc. Following his fatal confrontation with the ghost, Hong Dohui is now being coerced into service as a "demon slayer" or agent for an afterlife bureaucracy. This new role is framed as a punishment for killing the previous antagonist, a justification that readers find illogical and exploitative, believing the afterlife authorities are simply taking advantage of Dohui's power. A mysterious and handsome new character with distinct triangle markings under his eyes has been introduced, seemingly as Dohui's guide or colleague in this new ghost-hunting duty. Fan speculation is rampant that this new figure is Dohui's father. This plot twist has shifted the manga's genre, drawing comparisons to \*Demon Slayer\* and \*Goblin\*. While readers are captivated by the stunning art and the new character's design, there is underlying anxiety for the central couple's relationship, as Dohui's new responsibilities and secrets create a communication barrier with Seong-jae.
