Chapter 395 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 395

Kim Soleum observes a suspicious sorting process at the Namhae Branch, where researchers use breathalyzers and CCTV to separate workers who consumed alcohol from those who did not. Soleum suspects this is a controlled experiment involving the 'Beauty Pill' and alcohol. A man who previously targeted Soleum in the bathroom falsely accuses him of drinking to provoke a confrontation. Despite Jin Nasol's attempt to defend Soleum, the researcher orders Soleum to the 'drank alcohol' group. The researcher mocks Jin Nasol for her former employment at Daydream. Soleum, realizing the danger, tells the researcher he might die tomorrow, causing visible anxiety in the researcher's voice. The alcohol group is transported to a containment cell under the guise of a 'sleep pattern collection' study. While being fitted with equipment that Soleum identifies as a 'Dream Essence Collector,' the man who attempted to attack him with a metal bar begins to transform. The pill's true effects manifest: the workers' bodies undergo horrific, musical-themed mutations, turning them into living, breathing instruments—the 'Choir of Purgatory.' A rat-headed figure (the Butcher of Melodies) and a procession of animal-headed figures enter the cell to 'tune' the human instruments. The containment fails, and the cell door opens. Soleum seizes the opportunity to escape, sprinting through the corridors while being chased by both the mutating workers and non-mutated employees. In the chaos, Baek Saheon appears from a ceiling vent and rescues Soleum with a rope, pulling him into the ventilation system. Soleum refuses to help the attacker who grabs his foot as the man transforms. Baek Saheon leads Soleum through the vents toward the worker area, aiming to reach Soleum's room where he previously dug a hole in the dirt wall, hoping to avoid CCTV coverage.
