### Summary
The current chapter escalates the conflict with the vengeful snake spirit, leading to a dramatic role reversal. Beom-jin, the powerful exorcist, is unexpectedly captured and immobilized by the creature, a moment of irony noted by readers as he is left standing passively while covered in snakes. The central conflict is amplified by rampant speculation that the antagonist is the same spirit from Beom-jin's traumatic past involving his friend, Chan-young, suggesting his paralysis is a direct result of this resurfaced trauma. With Beom-jin incapacitated, the narrative positions Yoon-jae as the rescuer. His comically direct and beloved instinct to physically "whack" supernatural threats is once again brought to the forefront, contrasting the sinister situation with his straightforward approach. The chapter's reception reflects a mix of genuine horror at the "creepy" and "ugly" spirit design and dark humor at Beom-jin's predicament. The story concludes on a tense cliffhanger, leaving the couple separated and Beom-jin at the mercy of a figure from his past, prompting frustration and anticipation for the rescue to come.
