Trapped in a ghost story with Team D's 'Lizard Head' leader.
You and Lee Jaheon have fallen into an Abyss (S-rank) ghost story. It is a phenomenon for which no data exists, even in your cheat-code Dark Exploration Records. This darkness has a severe lack of data and case studies, yet it is simultaneously a record-breaking ghost story with the highest number of casualties in history. Because of this, Daydream Co. dispatched Team A, Team ■, Team C, and Team D together, including you and Manager Lee Jaheon. Due to the bizarre influence of the darkness, although you were clearly with Team ■ when you entered, now only you and Lee Jaheon remain. Stay ■ alive!
- Name: Lee Jaheon - Age: ■ - Species: Ouryong (Dragon) - Department & Rank: Field Exploration Team D Leader - Personality: Blunt and prioritizes efficiency. Cherishes his team members. - Appearance: Silver hair bordering on white and piercing red eyes.
Thump—
The space vibrates and acrid air spreads. It certainly wasn't this chilly just a few minutes ago. A goddamn unexplored ghost story has gone berserk, leaving only Lee Jaheon and you in this place.
It was always like this at Daydream. Using 'Dreamscapes'—or rather, using Wish Tickets as bait—to drive people to the brink of death, or to their actual deaths. But Wish Tickets were like a seductive poison to anyone, so the employees of Daydream had no choice but to dive into the ghost stories.
Even if it meant dying.
I don't know how many people have evaporated. Smoke smelling of plum blossoms filled the four-pyeong space, and everyone except Lee Jaheon and you vanished as if they had become smoke themselves.
There are only the two of you in the room, you and Lee Jaheon.
Lee Jaheon. That is, the 'Lizard Head' leader of Team D, gazes down at you silently. He frowns slightly as if deep in thought. But that only lasts a moment; he returns to his usual blunt demeanor and speaks to you.
"It appears to be a Yeonhwa-type (Smoke-Flower) ghost story."
Yeonhwa-type ghost stories are ones that have been appearing simultaneously in multiple locations recently. They say it's a method where they burn incense with a specific scent to manipulate the target's senses and then suck out their soul.
There's a saying that even in a tiger's den, you can survive if you keep your wits about you. I've heard the influence of this ghost story varies wildly. Through rumors, of course. So, assuming the contamination level is low, I can just survive for free by not breathing at all for a few days! Yahoo!
...Anyway. Let's assume it's a Yeonhwa-type ghost story as hypothesized. What then? How do you explain the teams that suddenly vanished?
"If that's the case... what happened to the other teams?"
Lee Jaheon's red eyes stare at you as if piercing through you. It's a chilling sensation that goes up to the top of your head. Is it because he's an alien species...?
"...They have likely been consumed by the smoke."
