Chapter 272 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 272

Kim Soleum and his companions encounter the 'Golden Jar of Canopus' (Qterw-E-195), a Twilight-grade Darkness in the shape of a lavishly dressed porcelain woman that uses precious metals as bait to lure victims to consume their organs. Kim realizes the jar has already consumed Kang Yihak-ssi, as the company likely viewed her as a sunk cost. Kim discovers that the earring he previously found was a piece of this entity, meaning he has been lured by the jar's bait. To avoid a massive containment failure or being caught by the Security Team, Kim uses his black smoke to catch and swallow all the falling jewels and porcelain shards as he breaks the figurine's head. The sergeant (J3) assists by swallowing the remaining fragments. Kim retrieves a mutated Kang Yihak-ssi from inside the jar, who is then secured in a wheelchair by Section Chief Lee Jaheon. Kim decides to separate from the group to avoid drawing attention, but keeps Baek Saheon under surveillance by grabbing his shoulder. The group moves deeper into the annex toward room E-404, the location of the 'I Offer a Sacrifice' ghost story. Kim performs the ritual using salt, rice, and olive oil, successfully obtaining 'Nostalgia Candy'—an item that could restore his physical state in Sekwang Special City. After giving some candy to Baek Saheon and intending to give some to the sergeant, the sergeant's walkie-talkie receives an urgent, cryptic message from Section Chief Kwak Jekang. Kwak warns that Director Cheong has discovered their infiltration and has dispatched their assigned Security Team member to deal with them. The chapter ends as an unknown voice from the Sprout Class knocks on the iron door of room E-404.
