Chapter 319 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 319

Kim Soleum, infiltrated as researcher Park Kyung-hwan, encounters Baek Saheon in an elevator. Baek recognizes him as the agent from Jisan Village, but Solem maintains his cover. After a tense exchange where Baek accuses him of potential sabotage, Solem warns Baek to pretend they are strangers to ensure his safety. To Solem's surprise, Baek offers a mutual aid agreement: they will share information found during Solem's investigation in exchange for Baek's help. Baek promises to be on standby via 'paper boat' communication but warns that he will disavow Solem if caught. Solem notes that Baek's personality remains self-preserving but seems to have developed a sense of familiarity toward the 'paper boat agent.' Solem joins the other new researchers for an orientation led by 'the Host' (Team Leader Kim), a familiar figure who had conducted their first-day orientation. The tour leads to the Annex, a core facility containing the Potion Maker machines that utilize Dream Essence. Solem observes a machine with a Wish Ticket button and avoids direct interaction with J3, who is present as part of the Guard Team. Solem suspects J3's presence might be a diversion related to Ho Yuwon's project. After lunch, Solem returns to the 10th floor to find chaos: a Potion Maker has vanished without a trace, and the facility has been placed under quarantine. The Guard Team, including Sergeant J3, arrives to escort researchers for interrogation. Facing a survival crisis and the sudden disappearance of his target, Solem decides to change his plan. As he is taken to the interrogation room, he shouts that there is a bomb in the elevator to create a diversion, intending to use the chaos to attempt the theft himself.
