Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases

And I had lost a hand.

One more was on the verge of death.

And now she was telling me I had passed?

Two people had died.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

What she held in her hand was an identification card.

As if my reaction didn’t matter to her in the slightest, Myeong Haebin calmly stretched out her arms, stepped over Lee Jaewon, who was still lying on the floor, and held out her hand to me.

“Allow me to introduce myself again. album I’m Myeong Haebin, from Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Get lost. amateur I never interviewed for a company like that.”

Without a doubt, it was her.

Printed on the black plastic were the name Daecheonmyeong, her name, and her photograph.

But her words barely registered in my ears.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Now it really did seem like I was back in the real world.

I took out my phone.

I could call 119.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“And what do you think they’ll be able to do for him at a hospital?”

“Save him.”

Myeong Haebin’s smile tilted slightly to one side.

Explaining what had happened would be difficult, but at least I could get Lee Jaewon to a hospital.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

As if I wanted to prove it to her.

“Anyone can see that his entire body was torn apart by bites from human teeth. abstract And you, Boss, lost a hand.”

Then she lowered her gaze toward Lee Jaewon, whose face was already unrecognizable.

I raised my left arm, completely covered in blood, and opened and closed my fist several times.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Even so, maybe modern medicine can still help him with skin grafts. arch But you, Boss, do you really want to spend the rest of your life with a prosthetic?”

She was cold.

The Myeong Haebin standing before me no longer seemed like the person I knew.

“If you join our company, we can completely heal that hand. auction Much better than a prosthetic. antique Ah, and while we’re at it, him too.”

Devoid of any trace of humanity.

It was hard to believe that Haebin, who had always been so kind to everyone and so well-liked by everyone.

Could say something like that to me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

With a bitter laugh, I continued speaking.

I wasn’t expecting an answer.

“Haebin. harbor Do you know what my dream is?”

I lowered my gaze toward my motionless left arm.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Just that.

Something anyone would consider boring and ordinary.

“To live a normal life. sphere Work like anyone else. riddle Buy a house with a bank loan. apron Have a dog. album That was my dream.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

How had I ended up like this?

It had been my lifelong dream.

But for me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

As if it already knew what my answer would be.

Like an unwelcome visitor, the phone vibrated again.

Bzzzzz—

[Completion Condition: Join Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases.]

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I heard Lee Jaewon’s agonized breathing.

‘Why is it so hard to live a normal life…?’

“Kugh… Ghk…”

Everything around me seemed to be forcing me to accept Haebin’s offer.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Before Lee Jaewon died, I forced out the words that seemed stuck in my throat.

“I’ll do it. arch But first… heal Jaewon.”

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Myeong Haebin, who had been staring intently at me without taking her eyes off me for even a second, grinned from ear to ear.

“Really?! orbit Of course! apron I’ll keep my promise!”

After closing the front door, Myeong Haebin inserted her black identification card over the doorknob.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Several people wearing black masks walked inside without making the slightest sound.

And opened on its own.

Although a moment earlier the door had seemed like a completely solid slab of metal, it absorbed the card.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Haebin, completely accustomed to them, began speaking to them.

Even though she was right in front of me talking.

“It’s this way. …He’s a civilian. portal The one standing over there is… …so…”

Entire parts of her sentences disappeared, as if someone had erased fragments of her voice.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

My vision began to blur.

My knees stopped supporting me.

Had I lost too much blood?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Was Myeong Haebin’s whisper as she caught my swaying body.

And my consciousness faded away.

The last thing I remember.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

It was an impossible sentence to forget.

“What a relief. anxiety I didn’t want to have to kill you, Boss.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Everything looked completely new.

When I regained consciousness, I was in an unfamiliar room.

“…Hah!”

There was only a bed, a bookshelf, and a desk.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I picked up the phone that had been placed neatly on the desk.

And the atmosphere was strangely cold.

There was a sticky note attached to it.

‘Where the hell am I…?’

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

And she said there was nothing wrong with it?

I had no idea what exactly she meant by saying she had checked it.

Boss, since I saw that you kept looking at your phone, I checked it just in case. attic There’s nothing wrong with it, so you can use it without worrying. acquire — Haebin

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I had agreed to work at Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases.

The moment I saw the white text projected against the black screen, a chill ran through my entire body and the memories of the previous day came rushing back all at once.

Of course.

[Congratulations on completing your onboarding into the company.]

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

And then.

My hand.

That’s right.

[The reward has been delivered.]

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I jumped out of bed and raised my arm.

My left hand was completely intact, as if it had never been amputated.

“…Ah, thank goodness.”

What had happened to my left hand?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Only after touching it over and over again was I able to calm down.

Then.

It was impossible to forget the moment it had disappeared with a single bite.

Much less the pain.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Had the company created it?

What exactly was that application?

It didn’t seem like it.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

[ ]

The application, whose black icon had no name, still displayed nothing but a completely black screen.

In that house, Myeong Haebin had never taken out her phone.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Do you belong to this company too?”

No matter how many times I tapped it.

It didn’t respond.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Haha.

“I thought so…”

I really had gone crazy after all.

How could a phone possibly answer me?

And yet I was talking to it like an idiot.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

A single line of text appeared with perfect clarity.

[You have only one answer remaining.]

[That is not an important question.]

Had it really just answered me?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I had dozens of questions. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

But I could only ask one.

All traces of sleepiness vanished at once as my mind desperately searched for the best option.

My hands began to tremble.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Then.

If it said questions about the company weren’t important.

[For Kim Hanmu to continue cleaning “paranormal phenomena.”]

“What do you want from me?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I felt a knot tighten in my chest.

The text disappeared like a mirage.

“…Hah.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

No.

Maybe this was actually better.

I almost would have preferred it if it had asked for my life.

It meant that application needed me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Just as it had in that house.

It could keep helping me.

As long as I remained in this company.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Haebin had said it.

‘But now they’ve already given me my hand back. shadow They already got everything they wanted from me. portal If I said, well, thank you very much, now I’m going home…’

‘They wouldn’t let me, would they?’

That she didn’t want to have to kill me.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

That cliché existed for a reason.

Bang.

“You know too much.”

Better not to invite unnecessary trouble.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

On the other side was a living room just as cold as the bedroom.

Still completely tense, I opened the door to the room.

Creeeak.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Fuck… That scared me.”

It looked like a completely normal home.

The lights were off.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

On the floor were only my shoes, perfectly clean and lined up.

“……”

I jumped in surprise when the automatic entryway light suddenly turned on.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

It was a gray and gloomy corridor.

Creeak.

I cautiously poked my head out into the hallway.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“I’m dead tired. echo My night shift ran straight into the morning shift, and I didn’t even get to rest.”

But there were people walking through it.

There weren’t too many people.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

People holding coffee.

“Then transfer to the Dismantling Team.”

“No way. agent I want to live a long life without drawing attention to myself.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

It seemed much more normal than I had expected.

But.

Since this was supposedly a company dedicated to paranormal phenomena, I had been prepared for anything.

Completely normal conversations.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Shortly afterward.

The hallway opened into an enormous space.

“…Wow.”

Only then was I able to relax my shoulders a little and keep walking.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

The circular plaza was gigantic.

〈At the end of every night, there is always dawn. avalanche We are the ones who behold that dawn.〉

The ceiling was so high that I couldn’t even see it.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Compared to the hallway from before.

Enormous carved columns, so thick that not even four grown men could wrap their arms around them, supported the entire structure.

There were a lot more people here.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

All I knew was that I had been hired.

They all wore similar uniforms and hurried back and forth.

Where was I supposed to go now?

Wait.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

A large hand slapped me on the shoulder.

“Hey, are you new? sphere What are you doing standing around here instead of going in?”

Just as I was thinking about stopping someone to ask…

I had no idea about anything else.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

He was a middle-aged man with dark stubble already visible across his skin.

Unlike me, who was only wearing a white T-shirt, he wore a work uniform with blue stripes.

“Huh? august Well… yeah, I guess…”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“No, it’s just that I didn’t…”

“Going in where?”

“To the new employee orientation and team assignments, of course. galaxy What’s wrong? voyage Don’t tell me you lost the others.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Then he grabbed me by the shoulder with complete familiarity and started walking.

The man let out a booming laugh.

“What do you mean you didn’t?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“You talk like you’ve already been through one.”

“I know dealing with paranormal phenomena isn’t exactly easy.”

“Wake up. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. arrow I’m sure you ended up here for some reason too. apron Bah, never mind. shadow Even if I explained it to you a hundred times, you wouldn’t understand.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Well.

The man raised one of his thick eyebrows.

He looked at me as if I were a chick that knew nothing about the world.

Within this company, I suppose he was right.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t exactly start bragging in front of someone who was clearly a veteran.

“Once…”

But I had also risked my life to make it out of one alive.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“You know Haebin?”

Then he seemed to realize something and pointed at me.

“Ah. advance You’re the special case Haebin brought in?”

So I gave him an evasive answer.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“I don’t even know who you are.”

“Of course I do! anchor What a coincidence running into you. galaxy Come join our team.”

“Me? anxiety I’m Team Leader Yong, from the Dismantling Team.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

(Daecheonmyeong New Employee Orientation)

I was about to ask what exactly the Dismantling Team was.

When we found ourselves in front of a conference room.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Through a small window, Myeong Haebin could be seen standing on the stage beside a banner.

“…Some of you may have come because you need money. abandon Others because you’re interested in paranormal phenomena themselves. portal And others because you’re pursuing a wish that’s impossible to fulfill.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Team Leader Yong opened the door and gently pushed me forward by the back.

“Well, that was just my wish. shadow Let’s go in.”

Her clear voice echoed throughout the room.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

We managed to sit in the last row.

But apparently.

I really was late.

Since the entrance was located at the rear of the room, we went unnoticed.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

The question-and-answer session had begun.

The orientation was already over.

“All right! riddle Any questions?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“About the types of paranormal phenomena you mentioned a moment ago…”

One after another, they raised their hands to ask questions.

The others, like me, were wearing only white T-shirts.

“Is it true that the Exploration Team receives a higher salary bonus?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Bad luck. beacon You missed the entire orientation.”

I thought Team Leader Yong would leave.

But he remained seated beside me, laughing in amusement.

Most of them were things I didn’t even understand.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Why make things difficult for yourself? arctic You’ve got an excellent veteran right here.”

“I’ll just ask Haebin about it later.”

Excellent?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Rather than an exemplary veteran.

Though I shouldn’t judge people by appearances either.

He looked like some random middle-aged guy sprawled on his couch at home, flipping through channels with the remote.

“What exactly does this company do?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Team Leader Yong rubbed his hands together, satisfied.

“Oh. legend Now that’s a basic and very important question.”

“You see. attic Daecheonmyeong is a company that sends its employees directly to confront paranormal phenomena in order to resolve them.”

Then he cleared his throat before answering.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“That’s right. meadow Because that’s the only way to resolve a paranormal phenomenon.”

“And can employees die during that process too?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Sends them directly?”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

That was a yes.

But in practice.

He didn’t answer explicitly.

“Why do you always go straight for the sorest spot? aluminum That hurts, kid.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Why keep working here knowing they could die?

“Then why do something like that?”

Even so, there was something I didn’t understand.

Was it because, once you were inside, the only way out was by dying?

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

I could understand it.

If that was the reason.

Team Leader Yong stroked his rough chin before answering.

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

“Just because of that?”

“Because if we do nothing, paranormal phenomena will eventually devour innocent people. abandon We’re here to prevent that.”

I still had many questions.

“At least I am.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

A moment ago, Team Leader Yong had invited me to join his team.

But.

But Myeong Haebin’s voice, as she continued answering the new employees’ questions, echoed through the room again.

“All right. apron We’ll now begin the team assignments.”

Translation of I Became a Professional Horror Story Cleaner - Chapter 4: Daecheonmyeong, Specialists in Resolving Paranormal Cases by Indra Translations.

Hadn’t I heard earlier that the Dismantling Team was especially dangerous?

Now that I thought about it.
