Chapter 279 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 279

In the secret archives of the Gangwon-do branch, Ryu Jaekwan observes Agent Choi performing unauthorized research on cognitive erasure records. Choi acts nonchalant, pretending his presence is due to avoiding paperwork, but Ryu senses his underlying tension regarding the Sekwang Metropolitan City investigation. Ryu realizes that the current Hyunmoo Team replaced the missing Cheongryong Team, which had been tasked with the city's protection. Meanwhile, within the ghost story, Kim Soleum (Employee Dragon) is with Wolf Leader. Kim Soleum meticulously examines a torn talisman to memorize its pattern, suspecting it is the cause of the current instability. Wolf Leader suggests that knowing the future might cause it to happen, akin to the myth of Oedipus, and refuses to ask about the future of Daydream. Braun (the host) whispers to Kim Soleum, suggesting that killing Wolf Leader might somehow wake him up in reality, referencing the current state of Supervisor Park Minseong. As they climb to the school's Infirmary, they catch a student in a school uniform—the transfer student Kim Soleum had previously borrowed a uniform from—who appears expressionless and non-human. Realizing the school rules forbid spoken language and that outsiders are viewed as monsters, Kim Soleum uses a tattoo-based ability to manifest a school uniform and communicate via written notes on A4 paper. Through this, Kim Soleum discovers the horrifying truth: Sekwang Technical High School is not a real location outside, but a space swallowed by the Hanbit Library. The school exists as a localized section of the library, preserved within the bookshelves after being swallowed by the library's 'sanctuary' protection, implying the students were originally human inhabitants of the city.
