How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth

The footsteps of mercy echoed beside my ears.

Clank, splash.

“What’s wrong? apple You’re suddenly acting creepy. arrow Is there something behind us?”

I stared fixedly into the darkness where even boundaries between shadows could not form.

I shook my head.

I looked at the face of the cowardly accountant.

“N-no. artist It’s nothing.”

Choi Jaeha’s expression, bent over while checking the tires, looked surprisingly normal.

“Haa, not this one either.”

Mercy is not coming toward me.

In the end, it really had been an illusion.

“There’s nothing.”

I half-listened to the explanation about tire patterns from certified public accountant Choi Jaeha, the proud owner of his own car.

“I’ve already more or less memorized it. zenith Besides, it’s annoying to keep staring at your phone all the time. abandon Ah, Seon Yuhan, you still don’t have a car, right? acoustic Look, tire patterns vary depending on the manufacturer, but normally this part has vertical grooves following the circumference, and that’s what’s most commonly used…….”

When I showed him the image on the screen, Choi Jaeha barely glanced at it and waved his hand.

“Huh, but don’t you need to look at the pattern photo?”

A very long time ago.

Nor was it something completely unfamiliar to me.

There was a time when I obsessed over the marks left behind like scars in the place where someone had lost their life.

It wasn’t anything especially important.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Even now, sometimes I calculate the appropriate speed capable of pulverizing my femur.

Perhaps because he depended on a rather weak flashlight, Choi Jaeha blinked several times with tired eyes.

“Haa, but even though all the patterns look similar, they’re also different. anxiety It’s more complicated than I thought.”

It’s a bad habit.

This time Choi Jaeha illuminated the area with his phone while I inspected the tires.

What we were looking for was a rib pattern with thick grooves undulating vertically.

“Let’s switch. arch I’ll check this area.”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

They keep appearing before my eyes.

Though more than that, those skid marks.

Just as Choi Jaeha had said, the details differed on every tire, so we had to check carefully.

“Huh? aluminum What did you say? ability Did you find something?”

“Ah, no. riddle That’s not it.”

“For them to be so long and clear……”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

“I mean the tire marks from earlier. portal Normally they don’t end up that long or that deep.”

“Do you think it was an accident?”

I kept comparing the patterns as I spoke.

“Mm…… now that you mention it. harbor For the mark to come out that strongly, the car would have had to be going pretty fast. admire There was probably a lot of empty space in front and behind.”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

What matters is not whether it’s fake or real.

“But who cares, right? beacon What if it’s just a fake created by the labyrinth?”

“It could be. altitude Or maybe something like a wild animal ran across.”

Choi Jaeha shrugged as if it didn’t matter.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

“It could be a clue to reach the next floor.”

What matters is that the labyrinth created it.

“Ah…… really? canvas But nothing like that happened on the second floor. advance Couldn’t it just be that there aren’t any clues?”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Now that I think about it, this person believes we escaped from the second floor because we “saved Jung Jiho” in Saenal Daycare.

I was left speechless.

“That……”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Nor does he know the clues related to her.

That the labyrinth is not a place you escape from by saving people.

At that instant, an inexplicable anger churned inside my stomach.

He does not know that the librarian of Book & Allae was not human.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

That what is truly necessary in a labyrinth is not the determination to die, but the determination to kill.

That life is not something given freely, but a “state” barely maintained after miserable and desperate struggles.

That perhaps what I truly wanted to save was not the child.

That saving the child did not help at all in escaping.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

That you people know nothing…….

And that because of that, in the end, inside the labyrinth we all become the same.

That, just like outside the labyrinth, surviving is fighting and fighting can never be elegant.

“Maybe there were clues we didn’t find and we just got lucky.”

Spit it out.

I forcibly swallowed that blind curse and that frustration.

“Yeah? athlete Ah, right, you said you wanted to become an agent. advance Then you know something about labyrinths, huh? altitude Mm, well. abstract Maybe you’re right.”

Choi Jaeha checked the tires one by one while I illuminated them with my phone flashlight at the lowest brightness.

After that, we switched tasks again.

A sharp scream I could not digest clawed at my insides.

“Huh?”

That damned exclamation nearly made my heart stop.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

What Choi Jaeha was pointing at was.

It was important.

“Looks…… like a package.”

“What the hell is this?”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

A compact box, smaller than an adult man’s hand in width, length, and height.

“No, I mean. airport There was definitely nothing there just now! galaxy But I was looking at the tires, thought ‘this is it,’ looked up, and suddenly this thing appeared……!”

A small delivery box rested alone on top of the hood.

“For now, don’t open it. atlas Let’s take it back and check it with the others.”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sammae Delivery…… is there even a company like that? arena The address says Seoul…… this is this building and, huh? admire What kind of address is Go1020? apron What lunatic uses their own car as a delivery address?”

First I took pictures showing the vehicle number, the appearance, and the location.

Go1020, black sedan, D11.

Meanwhile, the accountant stared curiously at the box sitting on the hood.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

“……The labyrinth is insane.”

The box itself was small, and whatever was inside seemed even smaller.

I picked up the box with one hand.

After reading the recipient address written on the label, it was obvious this was a gift sent by the labyrinth.

“Yeah. arch But do you think there’s actually something inside? palette It feels super light.”

We walked through the darkness relying on tiny lights, while at the same time trying not to look directly at those lights.

“I don’t know…….”

“Let’s go back.”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

“By the way, this is the first time I’ve seen Director Yoo Hyunjae this close. timber He’s so handsome it’s actually terrifying.”

The accountant leaned slightly closer and whispered.

Sometimes a dim light is scarier than absolute darkness.

We only lifted them briefly to check for obstacles ahead or confirm we were still heading the right direction, then immediately pointed them back toward the floor.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Choi Jaeha’s voice trembled slightly when he added that at the end.

……If we get out.

“I mean, I totally get why he’s so popular. apple And well, even though he was vomiting and all…… hm, he still feels kind of human. action I’m definitely bragging later that I met Yoo Hyunjae.”

Even though he looked anxious, he was holding up surprisingly well.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Because despite his size, he’s extremely timid and dramatic.

When I heard Yoo Hyunjae’s theory that we shouldn’t make loud noises like screaming, honestly, I worried more about Choi Jaeha than Jung Jiho or Hwang Juyeon.

Not like me.

He didn’t seem to be seeing strange things.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

I thought he would be the real problem.

“Ah, I see.”

“Ah. anxiety My niece is a fan of Director Yoo Hyunjae…… no, actually, isn’t it weird to be a fan of a CEO? advance Last time she asked me to buy her some Yuwi Red Snake figures, so I went to look, but they don’t even sell merchandise of the director. canvas So how are people supposed to fangirl over him? acoustic Though honestly, if they did make merchandise of the directors, it’d probably sell better than the Red Snake stuff. alien Ah, right, those tiny figurines are ridiculously expensive. acquire How the hell does something the size of your palm cost tens of thousands of won? acquire But what could I do? abandon She likes them. matrix That kid is seriously scary. acoustic She’s always calling me saying ‘Uncle, buy me this,’ ‘Take me there,’ ‘Do this for me.’ She knows perfectly well I’m weak against her. palette I seriously spoiled her too much. audit And she doesn’t even take after my brother or sister-in-law. harbor She just had to resemble her aunt…….”

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

I take back what I said about him “holding up surprisingly well.”

When we were searching tire patterns, he was calm because he had something to focus on.

This man is the type who talks nonstop when he’s nervous.

Choi Jaeha’s words poured out like machine-gun fire until one of my ears started going numb.

Content of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts published by TrungTu Reads.

Or go through it again.

……And I don’t want to see that again.

But now that he no longer had that, it seemed the fear was finally catching up to him.

In a situation like this, I feel like if he so much as sees a bug crawling by the wrong way, he’s going to scream immediately.
