𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :

When Na-ra and seo- yul entered the training center everyone was already gathered there including the guards and servants which indulge in confusion.

" Why is everyone gathered here?? "

Na-ra asked to seo- yul who seems to be also confused about the whole situation but all of a sudden another voice surprised them by interrupting.

" They are going to catch Naksu's men in here ."

" Ah! Dang-gu! You surprised me! "

Na-ra exclaimed as she slightly slapped the boy on his shoulder which made the boy make a yelp sound even though he didn't even felt her touch.

Na-ra eyed the room finding two faces from the crowd and suddenly they appeared out of nowhere.

" Uk-ah! "

Dang-gu shouted to make the boy notice him and after jang uk noticing the three of them he walked up to them with mu-deok by his side.

" What is going on? Why are we gathered up here?? "

The boy asked curiously eyeing everyone not knowing what danger is yet to come .

" They are going to catch Naksu's men who is here.. "

This time it was Na-ra who answered the question .uneasiness filling her complexion.

" Naksu?.. "

The boy repeated as he looked down at the maid saving a glance to her and this time once again Na-ra notices it , the special Curiousness that grew on her twin's face not brushing off that again however before she could react to it park jin made the entrance to the training center.

" One of you has helped Naksu's men who sneaked in here today. "

Park jin stated as everyone looked at each other .

" My Lord. Everyone here knows each other. "

" On the outside, you all look like those of songrim.. . That's why I asked someone for help. "

Just as park jin answered to Dang-gu's statement which everyone on songrim thought someone else made an entrance.

It was none other that Jin cho-yeon from jin family. She made her grand entrance by the guards behinds her was currently following her by carrying some kind of box.

Jin cho-yeon greeted park jin and stood next to him then she scanned the room with her eyes finding some familiar faces. Just as she saw Na-ra she sweetly smiled at her signalling her she will talk to her after this after that when she wandered her eyes again there was the other sibling who is only few steps apart from jang Na-ra. Seeing jang uk in the crowd jin cho-yeon's eyes wides in surprise, not expecting the boy to be present there.

" Why is jang uk here?? "

Jin cho-yeon asks her aid immediately but her aid wasn't sure either that why was jang uk in songrim at the moment.

Even though jang uk called of the wedding between them cho-yeon still had feelings towards the boy despite hating his actions.

Without waiting another minute the aid goes upto the box that they carried to songrim and unbox it in front of everyone and in inside it was the none other than the jin family's heirloom Gwigu. Recognizing the heirloom from studying from books Na-ra states her words.

" It's the Gwigu... "

" Right? The Jin family's heirloom?? "

Dang-gu asks for confirmation because he's seeing it for the first time however jang uk doesn't seem to ring a bell and repeats the word.

" Gwigu??as in dog??"

" Yes. "

" It is a ghost sapsali that detects sorcery."

Seo-yul elaborates as everyone looks upto the Gwigu so many faces had amusement while 3 faces was in fear,feared of the outcome that may come in the couple of minutes.

" There is soul shifter among us.. And Gwigu will find that individual. "

" They look like one of us outside ... But Gwigu will find that one who has different soul within them. "

Master park and master Heo exclaims as everyone else looks at each of the people that they were close to in fear in their eyes thinking who may it will be.

" Close the doors. "

Master park orders as the guards obeys as they close it .

" Whoever tries to leave this building. . Will be considered a spy and killed. ..you may start. "

Master park finishes as he steps back and cho-yeon steps up in front of the Gwigu to release it. By using the power of jin family she releases it, a black smoke with fire eyes jumps through the roofs more like observing the people with it's fire eyes. For some reason by looking at that eyes Na-ra got flashbacks of the nightmare, the fire it overwhelmed her and the Gwigu had a quite terrifying look . Na-ra blinked few times to stood in the ground trying to blink away the fire image that she thought of suddenly a hand came to contact her as it pulled her to the back.

" Get back. It may be dangerous. "

Seo- yul said as he stood in front of the girl who is still trying to get rid of the images that played in front of her eyes.

" The alchemy of souls , a type of sorcery, has one weakness. There is a gap between the body and soul. The evil energy seeps out from it and Gwigu can detect that. "

Dang-gu elaborates about the situation more as fear comes in two people.
The next Na-ra knew was the sapsali was already on the floor looking right at their direction and it started to walk upto them and the next she know was it was jumping through their head.

For a second Na-ra really thought it was launching at her and same pair of hands that moved her before again pulled her to the side this time it was hastily which made her nearly fall into that person but she gripped that boy's hands hard enough not to fall and to surprise the sapsali was jumping onto someone who was behind her but he jumped into the roof after striking the sapsali to the ground trying to escape but the sapsali got after him again and when he tried to strike it again by his energy he already started to petrify.

" He is a soul shifter! Get him! "

Master park shouted as every guards and mage started to ran outside to subdue the soul shifter.

" Stay with them. Don't run away again alone. "

Seo-yul stated to Na-ra making her focus on him again as she stared at his eyes for a moment and hastily nodded her head as seo-yul loosened his grip from her and ran outside .

" Yah! Are you okay?? "

Jang uk asked her seeing her pale face as she just nodded at him and they walked outside instantly to see what's happening.
