“Something else ce5bbc0e4c strange happened. Before, my ability was 95d0e514bd limited to vaguely looking 1fe110f1ad inside people through their f0ab6fcb0b eyes, but after being 2c63ee03f9 discharged from the hospital, 31911fecd1 I started seeing other 9b9fff919f things as well.”26725ddfdf3976a3

“I can see spirits a9c9cb1dd8 without having to look 9721e96823 through people’s eyes. For example, on my b163d54802 way here, I saw 1b39016a71 a man who seemed 7816391e5c like he was possessed b3f64cd1ea by an evil spirit d6428d15c4 that had escaped from dcd5c0419e Yunseul Village.”fe6fcb950c340c3a

Choi Seonwoo had been 3f74c62698 too busy to organize 954d48e201 evangelistic activities, but it 5bdfb81463 seemed urgent now to da22dcbc18 make time to explore 53608e3d0b the island. If someone like 225e63131f the man Goo 96affebace Seungjun mentioned—possessed by cd5c0568a0 one of the 320752ec39 evil spirits that ddd20985ad escaped Yunseul Village—had 46b2ba9547 settled on the bf71409e5e island, it could d73b186c87 lead to a e5795d324f dangerous situation. Influenced by such e4160e98c5 spirits, others with 8bb4895b78 vengeful spirits attached d2df0165d8 to them might 5c026c62e4 also be led 260873faa5 to act on 8e05332664 evil impulses, just e9257fcf08 like Seo Jihan.9df906593ec4ea84
