Chapter 316 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 316

In a surreal courtroom, Kim Soleum undergoes intense questioning by Juror No. 1. During the process, the contaminations (ghost story entities) he previously sequestered in his heart burst out of him, speaking through his mouth. These entities offer nonsensical, obsessive, and inhuman responses, but none admit to Kim Soleum harming an innocent third party. The questioning shifts to the morality of survival, with the entities arguing that life is inherently a series of sacrifices. Kim Soleum undergoes a profound internal realization: the traits he dismissed as mere 'contamination'—his shifting morality and survivalist instincts—are actually parts of himself that he had suppressed out of fear of losing his humanity. He decides to embrace these facets, using the Moonlight Tattoo to organize and reintegrate them rather than just sealing them away. He acknowledges that these emotions and judgments, however extreme, are his own. Juror No. 1 reveals himself to be a projection of Kim Soleum's agent persona, Agent Grapes. Kim Soleum's heart is weighed on the Scales of Evil; despite its increased weight, he passes the trial. As the courtroom dissolves, Kim Soleum wakes up in the Fox Counseling Room. He realizes he has successfully exited the Sekwang Metropolitan City ghost story and, most importantly, has regained his human form and ability to speak.
