Chapter 381 — Got Dropped in a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 381

Kim Soleum begins his research into the 'Red Clothes at Exit 4' urban legend. He analyzes how internet posts act as incubators for ghost stories, where rumors about red clothing with sleeves tied twice at subway exits mutate into genuine fears. The legend suggests the clothes are shamanistic ritual bait used to attach ghosts to people, and internet users report seeing hair or talismans inside them. Some claim people disappear or die after investigating the clothes. Kim Soleum notes that while many treat it as an internet oddity, the phenomenon has real-world consequences, including police avoidance and reports of people collapsing. He reveals the critical truth: the Disaster Management Bureau previously investigated the legend when an agent attempted to collect a sample. That agent fell into a five-day coma, exhibited sleepwalking, and developed a hostile reaction from their dokkaebi flame, eventually jumping to their death after obsessively claiming they had to wear the red clothes. The agent was eventually stabilized through memory-erasure therapy. This confirmed the legend as a real supernatural threat. Kim Soleum, tasked with gathering more data, approaches the research with professional enthusiasm, intending to use his expertise in organizing internet stories into formal documentation.
