Chapter 296 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 296

Following the completion of project reports, the Daydream team prepares to re-enter Sekwang Metropolitan City. Kim Soleum decides to proceed with a six-person team consisting of Section Chief Lee Jaheon, Assistant Manager Eun Haje, Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae, Supervisor Baek Saheon, Agent Bronze, and himself. They initially intended to visit Hanbit Library, but find it has been replaced by a dark, abandoned subway station due to "corner renovation." Exploring the station, the group finds it in a state of ruin, filled with trash and signs of past evacuation. At Exit 1, the shutter is barricaded with junk and blood. At Exit 4, they find a wooden board covered in colorful sticky notes from students, including a message from Agent Gomyeong confirming everyone is safe and a message from Kim Soleum himself. Inside the station office, the group discovers the corpse of a station employee who appears to have slit his own throat with a mirror shard. Kim Soleum discovers a station employee ID card on the corpse, which, upon cleaning, reveals the name "Heowoon," identifying it as the colleague Jang Heowoon. They also find a 3D blueprint of the station with a red mark shaped like a rabbit doll located on the opposite platform. Before leaving, Kim Soleum catches Baek Saheon stealing a cat-shaped coin purse from the station's lost and found. Kim Soleum uses a combination of pressure and politeness to ensure Baek Saheon will be honest about future finds. Moving toward the marked location, the group finds a machine room. Kim Soleum uses the retrieved ID card to unlock the door, revealing a hallway with burnt walls and black water. The environment is identical to the Cheerful Research Institute from the Daydream underground Annex, revealing that the Institute was originally located within this subway station.
