Chapter 269 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 269

Following the successful rescue, the Disaster Management Bureau confirms that Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae has regained consciousness in reality, thanks to the 'dying in Sekwang Special City Subway' gimmick. The party members wake up in a secret room within the Fox Counseling Room, a space intercepted by Ho Yuwon from the Bureau. Kim Soleum (Roe Deer) wakes up after an hour, appearing as a monster in a black security uniform. Kim Soleum explains the situation to the agents, noting that Go Youngeun (Agent Peppermint) helped facilitate the escape. Ho Yuwon behaves evasively when questioned about the selection of personnel, implying that individuals like Go Youngeun and Jang Heowoon are being tied to his specific project. Assistant Manager Eun Haje suspects Ho Yuwon is using the investigation as a lure to keep people bound to his goals. The group discusses the physical consequences of the Body Casino; Lee Seonghae has regained consciousness but has lost control over her legs, which remain 'held as collateral.' Kim Soleum also loses control of his legs but maintains mobility through a black smoke-based movement ability. Kim Soleum realizes with dread that his emotional connection to the horrors of Sekwang Metropolitan City is beginning to fade, a symptom similar to what occurred before Lee Seonghae's recovery. Lee Seonghae expresses gratitude and proposes using the Annex to manufacture assistive equipment for her legs and Kim Soleum's future needs. Ho Yuwon agrees to help them use the Annex's Twilight Grade Darknesses secretly, provided they have internal cooperation. The chapter concludes with the group meeting Park Minseong in the Security Team's living quarters. Eun Haje reveals the group's new objective: they need to steal something from the company.
