Chapter 256 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 256

A surreal and unsettling matchmaking television program titled "Your Perfect Groom" is broadcast. The show features tall, dapper groom candidates, including Section Chief Lee Jaheon, who appears as an infiltrator and host. The program's atmosphere is jarringly cheerful, masking horrific details: candidate profiles list impossible weights and heights, and their photos appear to be of dressed-up corpses. The audience/experience trainees are also visibly disfigured or tortured, yet they cheer with painted smiles. As the program progresses through challenges like poetry recitation and meal preparation, the "elimination" process involves candidates being physically thrown from a high tower or ejected from seats to their apparent deaths, all accompanied by comical sound effects and bright music that desensitizes the viewers. Eun Haje watches, feeling a disturbing sense of dopamine-driven immersion and ethical numbness. During the grand finale, instead of a bride, a massive, grotesque, pale white hand emerges from the end of the wedding aisle. The hand violently grabs a groom candidate and drags him away amidst screams and chaotic, glitching footage. The broadcast ends with celebratory music and credits sponsoring the show via "Braun's Late-Night Talk Show." Eun Haje realizes the connection between the show, the name "Braun," and the pink rabbit doll carried by Kim Soleum. She contacts the Disaster Management Bureau to inquire about the show, discovering that the doll Soleum carries is named Braun. She looks around the actual wedding venue—now a scene of blood and struggle—realizing the gravity of the situation.
