Even If I Fall Into a Ghost Story, I Still Have to Go to Work Episode 158

Jin Na-sol raised her head.

Something peeked out from beyond the alley, staring at her.

A tailless baby mermaid.

It threw something at her.

Whoosh.

The projectile glinted in the light.

Without hesitation, Jin Na-sol reached out and grabbed the neck of the employee who had been running toward her like they were fleeing, using them to block it.

“Hik!”

The moment the employee hit by the fragment let out a shrill scream, soap bubble-like glass burst from their entire body, trapping and restraining their head and hands.

And above that, geometric traditional patterns emerged like a stamp being pressed.

‘…Management Bureau!’

[Warning. You are currently interfering with rescue operations in a supernatural disaster.]

[Cease obstruction of official duties and surrender. Surrender. Surrender…]

A recorded warning sound began blaring from the pattern.

The broadcast that the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau always announces when beginning to suppress civilians who interfere with official duties.

It was also an item. Hearing that sound made one’s fighting spirit disappear and feel an authority that should be obeyed.

For ordinary people, that is.

‘How troublesome.’

Veins bulged at the temples of Jin Na-sol, who wore the elite team’s golden mask.

So they weren’t mermaids but Management Bureau bastards disguised as special entities.

“Annoying.”

“Grrgh,”

Jin Na-sol kicked the restrained employee while simultaneously putting on a monocle like magic to identify the agents.

Two beyond the alley.

‘Should I fight?’

No, no. The important thing was to quickly finish the mission and accumulate points. To achieve maximum effect with minimum stamina consumption and increase work efficiency.

In this case, it would be right to stop the troublesome item search and quickly board the escape ship to clear.

But…

“It’s irritating.”

Separated nails rushed forward and embedded in the area beyond the alley.

“…!”

The irritation index that exceeded the critical point combined with chronic headaches and ultimately made Jin Na-sol move.

The nails scraped roughly against the wall and caught on the corner.

Along with a few strands of Agent Choi’s cut bangs.

“Agent!”

“Ick, that stings a bit.”

However, the opponents were Genbu Team 1, skilled in interpersonal combat. Even though they had become children, they skillfully dodged the attack according to their ingrained habits.

“We chase when the wire retracts.”

Just as they moved…

The Butterfly Mask Deputy grabbed the wire and shot back in reverse.

The two Management Bureau agents immediately rolled to the side and returned fire.

Glass hand cannon.

“Agh!”

Jin Na-sol pulled the restrained employee with her index finger’s wire to block.

The Daydream employee hit by the Disaster Management Bureau’s villain suppression rounds screamed.

“Aaaah! Baby mermaid! Mermaid!!”

The stupid kid was making a fuss over getting hit by one Disaster Bureau round that didn’t even kill or wound them.

Moreover, they still only saw it as just a baby mermaid, their brain must have holes…

…Hmm.

‘There actually is one?’

Jin Na-sol used X-ray vision through her monocle.

Behind the two Disaster Management Bureau agents, there was one more.

A baby mermaid.

…!

At that moment. One of the special entities presumed to be ‘agents’ with a slightly larger build moved slightly.

To better hide the baby mermaid.

“Aha.”

Team A Deputy Manager narrowed her eyes.

And threw the restrained employee at the agents while launching the nail’s wire again.

At the baby mermaid behind the agents.

“…!”

Ting.

With a light sound, the nail bounced off.

The Disaster Management Bureau agent had moved.

“Ha.”

Jin Na-sol took that opportunity to slide backward and escape the standoff situation.

Her head, forgetting even the headache, felt a brief thrill. If the Disaster Management Bureau agent had deliberately moved to protect it… there was actually only one reason.

‘The baby mermaid is a citizen?’

This was…

-Manual update information!

High-value points.

Jin Na-sol’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

Forget anger and whatever else, she had to board the escape ship immediately and return. A clear priority had emerged.

‘If necessary, I’ll take the baby mermaid hostage.’

Jin Na-sol naturally broke off a part attached to her nail and threw it forward.

Smoke screen rose up.

Taking advantage of the gap in obscured vision, Jin Na-sol barely slipped back out between the alleys.

Her mind had thought of the most violent and simple method, but her persistent goal-oriented consciousness toward points voiced a more effective and intelligent approach…

“Hey.”

Jin Na-sol used her wire to pull over a new employee who had been peeking at this place while calculating an escape angle.

The woman wearing a pony mask.

“Y-yes?”

“Draw their attention.”

“Me?”

The pony mask, Kang I-hak, pointed at himself with wide eyes as if genuinely surprised.

“You’ll just be restrained and thrown in detention for a bit before being released, you know? You’re still a new employee with no interference records. There’s no justification to throw you in prison.”

“Oh….”

Kang I-hak turned around and grinned widely.

“What a brilliant plan, Deputy Manager! Then let’s try it on Mr. Goat over there! He’s been sitting there quiet as a mouse….”

“One don of gold for each day of detention.”

“I’ll go.”

The money-worshipper smiled brightly and immediately gave a thumbs up.

While smiling.

“But Deputy Manager! If you’re lying, I’ll spill all your personal information to the Disaster Management Bureau and take out an organ-collateral loan under your name on my way out.”

“Go ahead.”

Jin Na-sol left the new employee as an obstacle and started running backward for a quick escape….

Kiiing-

Blades came pouring down.

“…!!”

Bell-adorned cleavers rained down from all directions, blocking the escape route and embedding in Jin Na-sol’s leg.

‘…!’

Terrible pain shot up her leg, paralyzing it.

Most of the Disaster Management Bureau’s anti-personnel equipment was designed to selectively kill villains when minimal death was necessary in supernatural disaster situations.

In other words, weapons that could subdue opponents to kill them in the required manner.

“Ah, seriously!”

A special entity, a Disaster Management Bureau agent in the form of a tailless baby mermaid, was smiling as he pushed Kang I-hak aside and ran toward her.

‘That bastard.’

He was targeting the Elite Team.

Among veterans, there were occasionally agents like that.

Elite Team investigation records and testimonies were valuable information, after all.

Moreover, they fundamentally believed that anyone elite enough to work at Daydream Corporation was definitely a villain.

Once thrown in prison, they could find dirt on anything.

‘Should I kill him.’

Whoever it was had been interfering at every turn.

Jin Na-sol crawled along the floor and reached into her business suit to pull out lethal equipment
