### Summary
This chapter marks the re-entry of the popular "messenger" character, now revealed to be a shaman named Joohwan, who reunites with his former "demon slayer squad" partner, Hong Dohui. This reunion also introduces a ghost king, who has a past connection with Joohwan. Readers have enthusiastically embraced Joohwan and the king as the story's third couple, speculating that the king's spirit has lingered to atone for past wrongs. While Dohui is seen continuing his work against evil spirits, possibly now as a priest, a significant point of reader frustration is the continued separation of the main couple, as other characters find their way back to each other. A new conflict is subtly introduced through Joohwan's prayer beads, which are observed changing from shiny to worn out after he encounters the king's ghost. This detail is interpreted by fans as a sign of lost divine protection, foreshadowing a potential possession and introducing a fresh layer of tension and danger for the newly highlighted pair.
