Chapter 234 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 234

The chapter begins in an elevator filled with the rhythmic chants of the Happy Ending Sect. The space shifts into a dark, damp basement containing Kim Heowoon's bisected corpse, displayed in a coffin decorated with chrysanthemums, sunflowers, and origami paper. The environment uses hallucinatory gaslighting techniques—light, scent, and sound—to manipulate the viewer into seeking salvation through the sect and its deity, Ireum-nim. A blank ritual parchment lies in the light, inviting the observer to turn their own existence into scripture. Kim Soleum remains unfazed by the psychological manipulation, recognizing the tactics. A schoolgirl officer of the Happy Ending Sect appears from behind the coffin, asking if Kim will write the scripture. As she speaks, her head falls off her shoulders and rolls toward Kim, transforming the environment into a pulsating red fleshy corridor filled with veins and the message "Let's Go Together." Kim realizes the sect has targeted them for recruitment. When Kim decides to subdue the perpetrator, Ho Yuwon intervenes by responding to the hallucination's prompt, causing the giant head to swallow the elevator. Kim regains consciousness in a gray, cement-walled underground air-raid shelter. Ho Yuwon proposes a temporary truce: he will look for information regarding Sekwang Metropolitan City while Kim seeks a way to break her contract, framing it as official company overtime. They follow a procession of ordinary-looking people through the corridor. The people are carrying dozens of corpses toward a massive underground cavern used as a Final Ritual Chamber. They are placing the bodies into coffins to perform a ritual where they pray for the deceased to find peace in death. The ritual involves followers testifying that they murdered loved ones to grant them "happiness" to become members. Kim Soleum interrupts the ritual by reclaiming Kim Heowoon's corpse and stashing it in her wrist tattoo. The schoolgirl officer welcomes Kim to the Happy Ending Sect.
