Chapter 402 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work — Part 3

Chapter 402

In a dark warehouse, Kim Soleum discovers eleven mutated workers whose bodies have been grotesquely transformed into human instruments with bone-like arms and flattened skulls. Among the mutations, Kim finds one unmutated worker who is bound and weeping. Kim offers a cryptic note promising to "look for a way" to save them, but flees to avoid immediate detection. While escaping, Kim is cornered by a Security Team member who reveals herself to be Lee Seonghae (Assistant Manager Dolphin). Lee Seonghae acts unusually cheerful and casual, suggesting Kim save the worker as a labor charge, before returning to her nameless, uniformed state. That evening, Kim informs Baek Saheon and Jin Nasol about seeing Lee Seonghae. Baek Saheon reacts with disbelief and anger, revealing that Lee Seonghae was officially declared dead over a year ago after vanishing during a Darkness event. An analysis of the CCTV footage shows the Security Team member's face was perfectly obscured by the camera angle, suggesting intentionality. The group argues over the implications, with Jin Nasol dismissing the matter as a distraction from their immediate goal. The tension is broken when Baek Saheon receives an email: access to the operating system has been granted. The "worker cleanup"—the disposal of the workers—is scheduled for the following day, marking the end of their wait.
