Chapter 261 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 261

Kim Soleum and his companions board a clean, seemingly normal subway train within Sekwang Metropolitan City. They observe that the passengers are expressionless and non-reactive to their presence. Upon inspecting the interior, Soleum notices that advertisements are dated but unidentifiable, and the train features a subway map. A smartphone notification reveals that the Sekwang Subway is a loop line circling the city's major districts. Soleum discovers that items brought onto the train, such as his torn gloves, are restored to their original pristine condition, suggesting a restoration effect exists within the train. After moving to a less crowded car, Soleum uses his repaired Memorial Pop Socket to gain information, explaining to the group that he obtained it from an elder. He discovers the passengers are actually long-term missing persons who have been completely contaminated by addiction; they are merely reenacting daily routines through meaningless motions (e.g., reading upside down or making knitting gestures) and do not react to stimuli except for whistling. The group experiences tension when Agent Choi's whistling draws the intense, unblinking gaze of the passengers. A heated discussion ensues regarding the identity of Eun Haje (a former reporter/Feast Guest) and the mysterious status of the 'Jisan Village agent.' Soleum experiences a sudden, heavy realization regarding the disappearance of Lee Seonghae, fearing she is trapped in a similar state of contamination on another train. As the train arrives at Midnight Station, which is advertising a Royal Casino, the contaminated passengers rush out of the doors. Facing a crisis of decision, Soleum decides to exit the train onto the platform at Midnight Station.
