Chapter 397 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 397

In a noisy corridor, Assistant Manager Jin Nasol displays unnaturally healthy skin despite recent hardship. Baek Saheon accuses her of consuming the medicine, arguing that her vague denial implies she took it. Jin Nasol claims she has no memory of it but suspects she might have accidentally taken it with her painkillers. The protagonist realizes he has also likely taken the medicine, noting his own rapid physical healing and a strange new ability to mentally visualize a beautiful melody he heard at the Tuesday Talk Show. He deduces that the administration may have crushed a third pill into the meals to ensure the dosage instructions (three pills over three days) were met, especially since they were encouraged to drink alcohol. After the protagonist reveals his suspicion and offers to lead them through the central administrative system via the mud wall path—promising Baek Saheon a way to secure audit-worthy results—Baek Saheon reluctantly agrees to follow. As they enter the mud wall, an emergency alert sounds, followed by a haunting, beautiful melody broadcasting through the facility's speakers. The trio destroys the local speaker and escapes into the mud wall, blocking the hole with a cabinet. Inside the authorized personnel zone, they encounter an eerie, steel-lined corridor filled with the sound of water. Using his memorized maps of the Namhae branch, the protagonist navigates through a series of forks, eventually finding a sealed door with a handwheel. Jin Nasol forces it open, revealing a corridor lined with one-way mirrors. Looking through a window, they see the worker management room, which is being observed from this side. Hidden under a desk, they discover a researcher clutching several cylinders containing a brilliant golden liquid: high-grade Dream Essence.
