Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts

The footsteps of mercy echoed beside my ears.

Clank, splash.

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

I looked at the face of the cowardly accountant.

“N-no. arch It’s nothing.”

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

In the end, it really had been an illusion.

“There’s nothing.”

I shook my head.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

“Haa, not this one either.”

Mercy is not coming toward me.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

It wasn’t anything especially important.

Nor was it something completely unfamiliar to me.

“I’ve already more or less memorized it. amber Besides, it’s annoying to keep staring at your phone all the time. arctic Ah, Seon Yuhan, you still don’t have a car, right? artist 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…….”

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

A very long time ago.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

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

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

Though more than that, those skid marks.

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

“Ah, no. antenna That’s not it.”

“For them to be so long and clear……”

“Huh? acoustic What did you say? arch Did you find something?”

They keep appearing before my eyes.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

I kept comparing the patterns as I spoke.

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

“Do you think it was an accident?”

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

Choi Jaeha shrugged as if it didn’t matter.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

What matters is that the labyrinth created it.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

I was left speechless.

“That……”

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

Nor does he know the clues related to her.

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

That you people know nothing…….

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

I forcibly swallowed that blind curse and that frustration.

As soon as I picked up the phone again, messages started pouring in one after another.

Bzzz.

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

“Eh? airport Found……, huh?”

“Ple……ase.”

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

That damned exclamation nearly made my heart stop.

It better not be anything important.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

It was important.

“Looks…… like a package.”

“What the hell is this?”

What Choi Jaeha was pointing at was.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

Go1020, black sedan, D11.

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

“……The labyrinth is insane.”

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

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

“Let’s go back.”

I picked up the box with one hand.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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

“I don’t know…….”

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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

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.

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

The accountant leaned slightly closer and whispered.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

He didn’t seem to be seeing strange things.

Choi Jaeha’s voice trembled slightly when he added that at the end. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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.

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

I thought he would be the real problem.

“Ah, I see.”

“Ah. antique My niece is a fan of Director Yoo Hyunjae…… no, actually, isn’t it weird to be a fan of a CEO? ability 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. autumn So how are people supposed to fangirl over him? canvas Though honestly, if they did make merchandise of the directors, it’d probably sell better than the Red Snake stuff. arch Ah, right, those tiny figurines are ridiculously expensive. amber How the hell does something the size of your palm cost tens of thousands of won? acoustic But what could I do? altitude She likes them. acid That kid is seriously scary. adapt 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. autumn And she doesn’t even take after my brother or sister-in-law. advance She just had to resemble her aunt…….”

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

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.

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.

Or go through it again.

……And I don’t want to see that again.

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.

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

Translation of How to Die in a Company That Turned Into a Labyrinth - Chapter 23: The Sender Is Not in the User’s Contacts by Indra Translations.
