Chapter 257 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 257

After the conclusion of the Groom Training Ghost Story, Kim Soleum (Roe Deer) observes the survivors of the experience trainees. Only eleven out of fifteen survived, a 30% survival rate. Kim Soleum reflects on the brutality of the event, noting that deaths occurred for the sake of television ratings. The host, Braun, expresses satisfaction with the live broadcast ratings and hints at producing a second season. As the faceless crew dismantles the set, Kim Soleum observes the destroyed altar and a mysterious black hole from which the 'bride' emerged. Control of the body is returned to Section Chief Lee Jaheon. Kim Soleum advises Jaekwan to remove the presence of Braun from his mental system to ensure safety, which Jaekwan complies with, despite Braun's protest. As the survivors exit through the main gate into the sunlight, Kim Soleum finds himself in a white space, having been transported by the Cosmic Shopping Mall's mechanisms. He meets the Lizard, a greenish-brown alien reptile representing the 'We' (the collective consciousness of the Cosmic Shopping Mall). Kim Soleum requests to speak with Lee Jaheon directly, which the Lizard facilitates by explaining that Jaekwan is part of 'us.' Kim Soleum then negotiates his reward for the successful rescue. Instead of a material item, he requests help in regaining a human body. The Lizard confirms this is possible by utilizing the body of a human whose self has been lost and promises to deliver this reward once preparations are complete. Kim Soleum also asks that his assistance be credited toward his shopping records, resulting in an upgrade to VVIP status and a golden 'Thank You Card.' Kim Soleum finally wakes up on the floor of his residence provided by the Disaster Management Bureau. He finds himself surrounded by Team Hyunmoo 1, including Agent Choi, who had been monitoring his vital signs. Kim Soleum reports the successful rescue of the Manager Lizard and recovers a small rabbit doll that had fallen from his pocket during the ordeal. Agent Choi shows him the doll and asks a question regarding Braun.
