Chapter 330 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 330

Kim Soleum interrogates the Chief Conductor regarding the origin of the train and the disappearance of Agent Chogae. The Conductor reveals the train is a repurposed 'Defective Train' that appeared suddenly at the station, providing safety for refugees. He admits to helping Agent Chogae operate it but claims the agents vanished while trying to gather supplies for the refugees. The Conductor defends his decision to prioritize the system over individuals, though Soleum notes names crossed out in the cockpit. Soleum discovers Agent Chogae's frayed five-colored escape rope in a drawer, realizing the agent was likely planning a rescue mission to reach the outside world. Soleum searches the engineer's seat and discovers a ritualistic talisman drawn with ash and liquid. Agent Bronze is brought to the compartment to decipher it. Bronze identifies it as a 'Destiny Amulet'—not meant to ward off evil, but to draw something in, specifically to make the train move to fulfill its role. Soleum observes that all subway stations in Sekwang Metropolitan City have names mutated to time-of-day descriptors (e.g., Midnight Station, Morning Station), except for 'Sekwang Station.' Soleum deduces that Sekwang Station remains unmutated because it serves as a major high-speed rail hub, not just a local subway. He concludes that Agent Chogae's goal was to use the talisman to switch the train from the local subway tracks to the high-speed rail tracks, allowing the train to escape the confines of the city entirely. The chapter ends with Soleum and Bronze deciding to attempt this escape.
