Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 163

Clearing a Darkness under the jurisdiction of Daydream Corporation setting the escape point to their company.

It’s not unusual. But…

‘If we entered through different routes, shouldn’t we be able to exit the way we came in…?!’

I swallowed hard.

Looking around, it seemed that everyone who had been on the escape vessel had ended up in the research office without exception.

No, seriously—why did all the escapees have to get dumped into Daydream Corporation? Shouldn’t the escape vessel at least ask where the passenger wants to go…?

Ah.

‘Wait, was it because the first person to board and set the controls was someone from Daydream Corporation…?’

So the destination was set based on that?

‘That’s entirely possible.’

The problem was that realizing it now didn’t change anything.

Cold sweat ran down my back as I quietly shifted my gaze to Agent Bronze, who was in a tense standoff with Manager Gwak Jaegang.

“Oh, I see from your uniform that you’re from the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau? Looks like you guys received a distress call from our Darkness. Haha!”

“Supernatural disasters are not private property. Please refrain from inappropriate terminology.”

Agent!

“Well, sure, that’s how you might put it…”

Gwak Jaegang smiled faintly from behind his glasses.

“But still, you did trespass into a private company, didn’t you?”

“……”

“Of course, I assume it was a cooperative effort, clearing the place together? Haha, if that’s the case, a simple interview will do, and we won’t need to bill you for anything…”

“Bill?”

“Well, you did use our clearance route! Things like information usage fees, personnel costs, expert consultation fees… Surely, as a government institution, you wouldn’t just skip out on those.”

I wouldn’t have been surprised if Agent Bronze punched Gwak Jaegang right then.

But, surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Agent Bronze simply stared at him with a look of pure contempt and said:

“We did not request any consultation. The escape method we used was already known to us.”

“Huh… Then it wasn’t cooperation, but unauthorized entry.”

Gwak Jaegang smiled at Agent Bronze.

“……”

Agent Bronze silently watched him before slipping a hand into his jacket.

A strange tension filled the air.

Right.

‘This is the middle of the headquarters of a psychotic pharmaceutical conglomerate.’

And not just any part—the research department.

One push of a call button, and the security team could rush in and neutralize the "intruders" without hesitation.

And considering how far gone the security team members already were from being human, even with two veteran agents here, there was still a good chance we’d be gruesomely overpowered.

In other words, we were in the heart of an enemy stronghold where social norms meant nothing.

A chill ran down my spine.

‘A company like this… They wouldn’t hesitate to make a few government workers disappear and turn them into test subjects…’
