Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 151

The phrase “I’m glad you’re alive” carries two implicit assumptions.

First, the speaker recognizes the person they’re addressing.

Second, they had assumed that person was dead.

And that meant one thing.

The security captain had realized that the taxi driver sitting in the front seat—me—was none other than Kim Soleum, field exploration team lead, who had been officially declared dead.

‘...Since when?’

I glanced at the security captain through the rearview mirror.

He was wearing his worn-out security uniform as if it were casual clothes, his cap pulled low over his face.

His expression wasn’t clearly visible.

But somehow... he looked relieved.

A memory flashed in my mind—something Park Minseong had told me.

- Captain J3 has been asking about you sometimes. I didn’t tell him you were lost in the darkness... but a few days ago, he seemed to know anyway.

Someone with his experience must have seen plenty of rookies disappear in the Hundred Dreams Corporation’s field exploration team.

But apparently, because he knew me personally, he had been worried.

"......."

Wait.

- Uh, am I doing this right? I need a ride to Seoul Station High-Speed Rail.

Seoul Station High-Speed Rail.

That was the entry point to the Tamna-bound Ghost Train—the place where I had officially gone missing.

‘No way.’

No, that couldn’t be it.

I fixed my gaze on the road.

And yet... I couldn’t help but ask.

"Ah... did you decide to meet your friend somewhere else?"

"No, I already met them."

"......."

"It’s fine now."

Oh, hell.

He really came to look for me.
