Chapter 391 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 391

The protagonist wakes up in his shared room (X-Group, 910s) in the worker district, which is covered in traces of white strings, hoses, and bodily fluids following a recent containment failure. He recalls how he survived the incident by hiding in a corner shop and carrying Assistant Manager Jin Nasol to safety. Daydream Inc. has performed a superficial cleanup but has effectively abandoned the survivors, labeling the incident a 'disinfection commotion caused by parasites' and turning the workers' suspicion toward the protagonist. He realizes the company is likely ignoring the truth of the incident to save costs on memory wiping, choosing instead to treat him as mentally unstable. He visits Jin Nasol in the emergency medical room, noting she is hospitalized due to a severed finger. Despite her abrasive demeanor, they share a moment of mutual, unspoken gratitude. The protagonist realizes he has gained knowledge of the facility's escape routes via the central system. During lunch, he receives a bill for 'unauthorized occupation and use' of medical supplies, adding to his frustration. Following a roll call, the company announces a housing relocation for him due to 'rest area maintenance,' moving him to the lower-tier Z990s. He suspects this is a move by the researcher to isolate him from headquarters during an upcoming audit. In the restroom, two workers attempt to bully him, taking advantage of the lack of CCTV. After an initial attempt to play the victim to garner sympathy from management, the protagonist's situation escalates. He violently counterattacks one assailant by strangling him, then stages a self-inflicted injury by slamming his own face into the sink to make it appear he was the victim of a random disturbance. As security arrives, a man in a black goat mask—identified as Supervisor Baek Saheon—enters the scene.
