**Title: When you place candles on either side, it measures three if one is used. The rice grains roll between them, and the flickering light causes a distraction. I concentrated my thoughts, recorded it as a spell, and the energy moved, resonating around to manipulate the spirit, making it write this down. This is the method of commanding the wandering ghosts to input my writing. As I write with my body inverted, it carries traces of the soul, differentiating the experiences of the inspired and uninspired. Therefore, you shall bury these traces in the verses to prove that this isn’t written by a human. Then, under my command, erase this writing and let it serve as my limbs in the ritual.**

**Content:**
In Seoul, there exists a spiritual hotspot known as the Ghost Building.

**5. When the elevator doors close, you must press the floor numbers as I’ve written.**
First, press the 8th floor.
Then, press the 6th floor.
Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in order.
Then, after pressing all the lit buttons, count the number of people in the elevator and remember that number. You need to combine the panel numbers to match that same number.
**Once again, I say.**
Do not press the number of people in the elevator; instead, you must combine the panel numbers.
For example, if there are 5 people in the elevator, do not press ‘5’, but press ‘3’ and ‘2’ to make 5.
The method doesn’t matter.
You don’t need to insert symbols in between.
Just input the numbers in accordance with basic arithmetic.
If there are 6 people in the elevator, you have flexibility in your preparation.
The method must be strictly followed.
If you cannot adhere to this, there will be penalties, I suppose.
Then, use different numbers excluding 6. If you press 6 more than three times, something bad might happen.
You could press ‘3’ and ‘2’.
You could press ‘4’ and ‘2’.
You could press ‘5’ and ‘1’.
You could also press ‘7’ and ‘1’.
**Simple, right?**
Think of it as a transparent universal symbol that can become anything among basic arithmetic without being visible between the numbers.
**But.**
Do not place small numbers in front.
The larger numbers must come first, and the smaller ones must follow.
Make sure to remember that.
The small numbers must go behind. If the big numbers go behind, we’d end up with negative values—because we are allies.
**7. If you pressed the floors correctly, the elevator should go up.**
If a passageway to another world opens while going up, the lights inside the elevator will flicker a few times.
The flickering numbers will be the same as that of the passengers aboard.
Isn’t it fun?
…
…
**15. Is there anything you are leaving behind?**
Did you forget something?
You’ve gathered everything, haven’t you?
Really?
Is there truly nothing left behind?
You’re really going home with everything, right?
I sincerely hope that is the case.

**A box carrying a person moves.**
Like a ladder connecting above and below.
It carries a person, moving up and down.
However, this ladder is truly peculiar.
And so we must discern whether it leads up to the sky or stretches like a spider’s web to hell.
Ah, just because it came down from above does that mean it leads up to everything?
Even if it goes to the same place, will it be the same for those riding it?
If so, are the vines stretching into Purgatory and the spider webs reaching into hell the same as the ladder extending into this world? Are you truly saying there is no difference?
Even if it bears original sin, that’s a different story than repenting.
It is true that those who have sinned, paid their dues, and suffered, and those who have not are indeed different.
For this reason, it is wise to thoroughly understand the essence of the stretched line.
If the Buddha extended a single thread of spider silk to save sinners, then holding onto that means you are a sinner claiming to suffer in hell.
If the brilliant light glimmers on the ladder above, you refer to yourself as a servant of that righteous being, bearing original sin to receive judgment from Him.
Should it go upward, even if there is a swamp-like abyss above it—
Ah.
Is ascending indeed correct?
Even if you go up, there’s neither direction up nor down; is it truly right to go there?
You must understand this well.
This elevator reflects precisely that.
Depending on the essence and form of the people aboard, it will differ.
This is how we differentiate and treat guests differently from intruders….
Yet, those who try to ascend or descend those stairs without such distinctions are…
[ …around, aren’t they? ]
**The underground has a peculiar charm that can cause a feeling of unease.**
Unlike the word “above,” which evokes images of a sunny sky with rich greenery, the word “underground” conjures thoughts of dampness, mold, and uncanny things lurking about.
Is this due to education?
Or perhaps instinct branded in human DNA?
No.
Perhaps it’s simply because they do not wish to revert to those prehistoric humans who hid in caves or lived underground.
Living like animals could leave a trauma embedded in the unconscious, making them reject it.
Then perhaps the desire to aim higher and ascend is derived from an instinct to escape from that.
Thus, descending into the underground is something to be avoided.
Even if a small child, trembling at the sight of dark stairs, bursts into tears…
Even though I’ve become a robust adult male, trained, and lost my fears…
Going underground still creates an eerie feeling…
**[ I should have been the team leader. ]**
Thus, it isn’t strange for two Chinese individuals descending into the underground to grumble quietly.
**[ The atmosphere is already spooky. Damn. I really don’t like basements. ]**
**[ Same here. Whenever I come to a confined space like this, I remember being stuck in a tiny area studying back in elementary school. It was a nightmare. ]**
**[ Ah, I have memories like that too. It was quite the experience… Being locked up like that doesn’t make one study better. Hmm. Maybe that’s why I also hesitate about underground places. ]**
**[ Well, I guess so. We’re not at an age where we believe a jiangshi would pop out from the basement, right? ]**
**[ No, maybe a jiangshi really exists. It’s the shaman’s dwelling, after all? ]**
**[ Hmm. That could be possible. The temperature feels oddly cold… They could indeed be keeping corpses in a cold environment to prevent decay. We should be careful. ]**
**[ Let’s keep our spiritual senses stretched just enough. We should speak lightly so as not to trigger any artifacts or such. ]**
They continued to chatter about the atmosphere and shared childhood stories while going down the stairs. It felt a little too light-hearted for a serious mission.
However, even while conversing quietly, maintaining minimal tension and constantly reminding themselves of their mission suggested that it wasn’t a result of carelessness but rather of complacency.
Or perhaps that ease came from a little carelessness.
Where they were was the infamous Magic Desert, known for its few shamans, and it was a place regarded as a minor nation by them, the Republic of Korea’s young shaman’s dwelling.
Three key factors made for an easy-going atmosphere.
Magic Desert.
Minor nation.
Plus, it was a young shaman at that.
It would indeed be unreasonable to be vigilant.
Moreover, if that shaman had a desire for attention enough to appear on TV and was connected with conglomerates…
It would be fair to conclude that he wasn’t a notably capable shaman but rather a performer whose main job was in broadcasting. In fact, the Communist Party had assessed that shaman Park Jinseong posed a relatively low risk.
Yet, despite this, their presence here was due to the fact that Jinseong was a shaman.
And not just any shaman, but one connected not only with the conglomerates but also the National Defense Council and the Patriot Corps.
The saying goes that rich families endure through three generations.
Even though various tragedies had turned it into a mess and rendered it a magic desert, surely the lineage hadn’t been completely severed. If so, the National Defense Council and Patriot Corps would surely hold onto whatever little magic remained.
Then naturally, wouldn’t they want to hand it to the promising new prospects?
What China desired was precisely that.
The remaining magic in the desert.
Or fragments of magic.
And….
Ways to manipulate Park Jinseong or any relevant weaknesses.
