Chapter 271 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 271

Section Chief Lee Jaheon leads Kim Soleum, Assistant Manager Eun Haje, Baek Saheon, and Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae through the Annex to locate equipment for research. They navigate through the Annex Basement Level 3 by using a non-standard route through emergency stairs to reach Basement Level 2, bypassing security. Due to Kim Soleum's special status, he cannot perceive the exit and must follow Eun Haje through the darkness. Upon arriving at B2F, they encounter Sergeant J3, who warns them to stay quiet and avoid areas under Security Team control. They arrive at E-07, the 'Cheerful Research Institute's Toy Maker,' a ghost story manifesting as an old toy shop containing knit dolls. After Kim Soleum uses a Pleasant Researcher ID card to repair the machine—removing a stuck earring—Lee Seonghae uses the device to manufacture a one-to-one scale knit doll version of herself. The doll briefly exhibits self-awareness before Lee Jaheon tears off its tag, rendering it lifeless. Lee Seonghae uses the doll's legs as prosthetic replacements, successfully regaining the ability to walk. Kim Soleum is unable to use the machine due to his non-human nature. As the group prepares to leave, J3 exhibits unsettling behavior, eyeing the toys, and a Clay Figurine—a failed quarantine ghost story—blocks their exit, emitting muffled cries that sound like Kang Yihak.
