Chapter 277 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 277

Kim Soleum (Roe Deer) finds himself alone in the Hanbit Library after being separated from his party. He is confronted by a man in a black suit and a Wolf mask. Kim Soleum recognizes the man as J3, specifically the former Elite Squad-B Leader from decades past, appearing here as a manifestation of the library's 'Darkness.' To maintain safety, Kim Soleum uses written communication. He attempts to pass himself off as a rookie from D-Squad, but the Wolf Leader reveals that in his era, Daydream Inc. only had Elite Squads (A, B, and C) and all others were expendable rank-and-file workers. Kim Soleum corrects this, explaining that in the 2020s, squads extend to Z. The Wolf Leader acknowledges the truth of the timelines meeting. They form a cautious partnership, guided by Kim Soleum's yarn. After experiencing a spatial loop where they return to the starting point, Kim Soleum deduces that the library reacts to user behavior. He uses the yarn to find a hidden message left by the library itself, which forms an anagram: "One Who Heads Towards the Path of Worship?" Following this clue, the Wolf Leader pulls a book from a shelf, revealing a dark, red-lit passage. Kim Soleum realizes the library's rules suggest they must obtain something to leave. He decides to touch the trigger book, <Masterpieces of 2000s Horror Short Stories>. As they read it together, they are both pulled into the ghost story within: the Sekwang Technical High School graduation. Inside the story, Kim Soleum finds a faded envelope containing a blue Dokkaebi flame. The flame reveals a message from the 'Cheongryong Team' of the Disaster Management Bureau, stating they failed and asking not to be searched for. The chapter ends with the Wolf Leader questioning if Kim Soleum is an agent of the Disaster Management Bureau.
