Chapter 276 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 276

The party arrives at Hanbit Library station in Sekwang Special City by train. The platform is covered in various A4 printed notices and handwritten memos, including a subway map that lists 'Hanbit Library' as a station renovated from a technical high school and residential district. The wiki describes the library as having opened its doors to bestow knowledge and information on the day of the disaster. Upon ascending the stairs, the party discovers an unnatural, massive cave made of interconnected bookshelves, illuminated by dim red mood lamps. Section Chief Lee Jaheon tests the area for traps with a rope, finding none. The team prepares to enter the bookshelf cave by tying a thread to the railing to mark their path and wearing masks. Assistant Manager Eun Haje provides a badger mask to Supervisor Park Minseong, while the sergeant refuses a specialized mask, opting for a plain dental mask instead. To maintain library decorum, the party agrees to communicate via writing. As they navigate the labyrinthine shelves, the protagonist observes a window showing only pitch-black darkness, except for the glowing sign of 'Sekwang Technical High School.' After about 40 minutes of exploration, the protagonist notices that Supervisor Park Minseong is acting as he did in the old D-squad, causing concern. The protagonist discovers a strange pattern on the floor that can only be read by bowing down in a submissive posture; these are the 'Library usage rules,' which include: do not make the sound of footsteps, do not fall asleep, stare at the window, gain one thing and leave, harbor curiosity, and do not go down to the basement. After the protagonist consciously 'harbors curiosity' regarding the location of Exit 4, a new path opens. In the left fork of a junction, the protagonist spots a silhouette of a person in a school uniform running into the shadows and dropping a book titled '2000s Classic Horror Short Stories Collection.' This book is the key to entering Sekwang Technical High School. As the protagonist investigates, a man in a suit wearing a wolf mask approaches, commenting on the protagonist's ambiguous mask.
