However, all of the victims are criminals, already marked for execution.5The Sealed TaleA storyteller holds court, weaving a tale of a woman’s murder that occurs on a dark, densely foggy night. Elsewhere, a man scribbles on a pad, clearly in a fugue state. He is a 'mudang', or psychic; a condition inherited from his mother. The tales he relays to the storyteller are remarkably identical in every detail to a recent spate of murders, therefore he is clearly the murderer.6Ghosts of YiduA shaman is found dead, his body is strangely riddled with numerous small stab wounds after attempting to perform an exorcism.7The Arcane VillageThe daughter of Lord Choi and her lover runaway together.

Another strange case for Hyung-do.10Return to Dragon PalaceA huge light shines down from the clouds and beams down into the ocean killing all the fish that land ashore in large numbers.
