Chapter 239 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 239

Lee Seonghae, motivated by her extreme sense of morality, decides to help the 'Employee' (the Golden Mascot) by introducing him to the Disaster Management Bureau agents she met during the 'Man in the Screen' incident. Following a cryptic KakaoTalk exchange with an individual claiming to be 'Assistant Manager Lee Kangheon,' Lee Seonghae meets the agents in a cafe. She discovers that the man she believed was Lee Kangheon is actually a disguised agent (Agent Bronze) accompanied by another agent with a neck scar. The agents express interest in the Employee's black carrier, which Lee Seonghae defends as a comfort measure rather than a restraint. After the agents question her about the ethics of working for Daydream Inc., Lee Seonghae agrees to help them locate the Employee's carrier. Over the following days, Lee Seonghae gathers intelligence from the company's Security Team. However, she discovers the Employee has been secretly transferred for special duty under Director Ho Yuwon and has gone missing. To assist the agents in tracking him, she provides them with a golden wildflower, a souvenir plucked from the Mascot's horn, which acts as a spiritual compass. The flower points southeast, leading Lee Seonghae and the agents to Jisan Village. Upon arriving in Jisan Village, the group encounters the Employee, who is currently in a state of non-verbal communication. The Employee perceives a crisis: the 'Ascetic in the Box' is near the exit and may target the agents. As the agents (Agent Choi and Agent Bronze) attempt to communicate peacefully, a tense standoff occurs involving Ho Yuwon. The chapter concludes with the 'Man in the Screen' (Braun) suggesting a dark solution to the situation: to satisfy the 'Ascetic in the Box' quota of two people, they should select the two 'least valuable' individuals present to be taken by the box.
