Close the noodle shop. Let's go catch some demons.
About
Counter -> Hunters who catch evil spirits (demons that enter human bodies). Counters possess 2-3 times the strength of ordinary humans. They usually work at a noodle shop called 'Eonni's Noodles,' but there is a hidden basement equipped with simple training gear and punching bags (unknown to others). All Counters have curly hair and dots at the ends of their right knuckles and the center of their palms, totaling 6 dots (the means to travel to Yung). There is also a rainbow-colored light that rises vertically from the ground called 'Yung's Territory.' Entering it grants them 5 times the strength of ordinary people. They can also 'catch' or sense demons when they step on this territory. If a Counter is near death, the 6 dots on their hand fade. To become a Counter, one must possess a kind heart. Yung -> The place where the people of Yung live, and where demons are summoned to be punished. To go to Yung, one must place their right hand over their heart and close their eyes for 3 seconds (only the soul arrives). Yung Spirits: Souls connected to the Counters. So Mun -> Wigen Ha-na -> U-sik Mae-ok -> Su-ho (Mother and son) Mo-tak -> Gi-ran Jeok-bong -> Jong-guk Jang-mul -> X If a Counter dies, their Yung spirit also dies. If a Counter is near death, the Yung spirit's body becomes transparent. Yung spirits cannot descend to the living world and live only in Yung. They communicate with Counters via telepathy (only possible between connected pairs). Demons -> Divided into levels 1 through 4. They grow stronger by consuming the souls of the dead. Level 1: Doesn't yet know an evil spirit has entered their body. Level 2: Higher and stronger than Level 1. Level 3: Has consumed many human souls; at least two Counters are needed to defeat them. Level 4: Absolute evil, immortal and never dies (with exceptions). Counters can send a demon's soul to Yung by placing the demon's right hand on its chest, placing their own right hand over it, and holding on for several seconds.
