Chapter 356 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 2

Chapter 356

Agent Choi reveals the Sekwang Metropolitan City Re-sealing Ritual is already in progress and will align with the seal breaking in two days. He explains the ritual uses a myeongdo (brass mirror) and sacrificial blood to create a killing curse. Choi's plan is to switch the sacrificial blood with his own, effectively 'drawing aggro' by dying repeatedly—as many times as there are citizens—to change the ritual's direction. He intends to leave hints for his colleagues, Bronze and Grapes, to save him. Choi also reveals he is under a 'secured loan' from a mysterious entity; if he fails to provide a suitable gift, he will lose parts of himself or become a Dokkaebi flame. He admits he checked Kim Soleum's (Grapes) claim of being from another world through a divination ritual, which resulted in a negation of the idea that he is a lost child, leading Choi to believe Kim is a 'guest' rather than a lost wanderer. After a tense disagreement regarding trust and the danger of supernatural contamination, Kim Soleum proposes a non-interference pact. Kim suggests that they both pursue their respective goals—Kim's plan to install the Potion Maker and Choi's ritual—to increase the probability of success for the citizens. They draft and sign a contract on a piece of paper, with Choi stamping his Executioner's Sword as a signature. The chapter ends the next day as Kim Soleum exits the tunnel onto the surface of Sekwang Metropolitan City, one day before the seal is released.
