Chapter 231 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 231

Kim Soleum (Roe Deer) chooses to descend into the 96th basement floor of the Cheerful Research Institute to confront the core of the ghost story. He aims to retrieve a specific employee ID card and investigate the dream incubator he originated from. He is accompanied by Ho Yuwon, whose presence is noted as a variable. Upon reaching the 96th floor, the environment initially appears as a peaceful, normal office corridor. However, this normalcy is shattered when flames erupt from an emergency exit, followed by a massive influx of dead researchers fleeing in panic toward the elevator. The elevator becomes a site of mass death due to capacity overflow, and the researchers' remains appear as physical objects in the corridor. The sprinklers activate, but they pour out black, blood-scented water. Kim Soleum experiences a return of the emotion of revulsion. As they navigate the chaos, Kim Soleum discovers a broken dream incubator. He observes a pattern in the basement floors: the deeper one descends, the more the timelines reflect critical work-related incidents of the institute. He hypothesizes that this fire is a significant, perhaps non-natural, event that shaped the institute's fate. Upon reaching the incubator's key card slot, Kim Soleum retrieves an ID card that reads 'Cheerful Researcher: Lee Heowoon.' Ho Yuwon points out that this name matches both a person sent to the Disaster Management Bureau and a new employee, implying the card belongs to Jang Heowoon. Kim Soleum realizes this discovery provides a direct path to uncovering the truth regarding Jang Heowoon and the potential spy.
