Chapter 400 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 400

Kim Soleum experiences severe suffocation caused by a 'worker' sticker on his neck, which functions as a proximity alarm to the Namhae Branch. He is joined by Assistant Manager Jin Nasol, who suffers similar symptoms.

While wandering the worker zone, Soleum reflects on the high death toll and finds a curious mention of a "white cotton glove" in the recovery logs.
