Chapter 396 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 396

Kim Soleum and Baek Saheon crawl through a ventilation shaft, navigating by sound and instinct. Despite wearing supernatural earplugs provided by Baek Saheon, Kim Soleum begins to hear a surreal, duet-like musical performance—a melody of high-pitched wind instruments and laughter that sounds like a severed sheep's head being played. The earplugs eventually shrivel and turn into a treble clef shape, rendered useless by the melody. As they emerge from the vent into a temporary concrete hallway, they realize they have escaped the containment zone. However, they discover that the containment cell doors in the hallway are wide open. Kim Soleum concludes that the 'Darkness' is opening the doors not by error, but as a gesture of 'welcoming' the audience to a performance. Kim Soleum compares this to an A-rank anomaly they once faced involving a human-head orchestra, noting the scale of this event is much larger. They reach the worker zone, and Baek Saheon uses a researcher's stolen device to open the doors to the worker rest area, intending to create chaos to facilitate their escape. Kim Soleum proposes using the distraction to save Assistant Manager Jin Nasol, to which Baek Saheon agrees on the condition that Kim Soleum leaves the others behind. Upon reaching the Y490s area, Kim Soleum finds Jin Nasol. To Kim Soleum's horror, Jin Nasol appears unnaturally healthy and glossy-skinned, leading Kim Soleum to realize the worker had actually swallowed the mysterious pills rather than discarding them.
