Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work Novel - Chapter 216

My dull head thinks, looking at the darkness before my eyes…

The ghost story of the Nameless Brilliant Cult, deleted from the wiki.

But it exists here. Is it…

‘…Is it because it exists even as a deletion record?’

Things that were initially registered on the wiki due to sufficient recommendations but later deleted for failing registration criteria could be found as ‘deleted ghost stories’.

If so…

Is this ghost story truly a power created by the Nameless Brilliant Cult?

Or, was it deleted due to ‘insufficient connection with the Nameless Brilliant Cult,’ making it separate?

…What kind of world structure is this place that called me into this grotesque body…?

Confusion spreads through my slowly crumbling brain.

Smoke wavers.

“…Are you okay?”

A voice is heard.

It’s the one wearing the badger mask.

I feel a gaze looking in from outside the bathroom.

They seem to want to talk.

Standby.

But I must make a judgment.

So, if a ghost story potentially associated with the Nameless Brilliant Cult falls into the hands of Daydream Inc., what kind of influence or side effects would it have…?

…

…

Is that important?

It’s not.

It’s meaningless for me to worry about the origin, fundamental nature, and contradictions of the ghost story. My given task is solely to perform my duties.

That is the purpose of my employment contract; nothing else is needed.

I have one job.

Verification in progress.

To determine if it is a darkness suitable for Daydream Inc.’s dream production.

The three criteria:

1. It must be possible to collect dreams through clearing.
2. It must be possible to increase the probability of survival and return based on the manual.

I can infer.

The most significant clearing method is probably ‘enduring without ever touching the rainwater until the rain stops.’

Enchantment on a rainy day.

Because it’s a ghost story rooted in enticement rather than direct slaughter and violence, there’s a chance of survival simply by protecting one’s mind and locking the door.

As exploration records accumulate, it might be possible to deduce behavioral patterns.

‘Conditions 1 and 2 are met.’

And the last, third condition.

1. It must be easy to isolate or store.

…

I looked into the bathtub filled with rainwater, slowly tapping my chin with my finger.

I made an estimate.

And I reached a conclusion.

Conditions met.

: Suitable Darkness.

And.

Subduing in a transferable form in progress.

I proceeded with my work.

“Roe Deer? Now…”

I covered the rainwater in the bathtub with mist.

What is obscured by the mist will now regain its original form.

By deleting unnecessary descriptions and records.

To its true self.
