And what's worse is...you'll never find out why or what is doing the Monty Python squash since if you do try to figure it out, you get killed.

The strange face saying "You Idiot" just before the guys started taking photos might be the entity. This story reminds me of 2 things. First is the Ura Baito arc with the kid playing around with a strange doll, in which their actions seem to be projected onto the town the girls were working at. Second is the manga called Kazoku Taikou Satsuriku Gassen, those who've read it will know what I'm talking about.

The is a lot of dangerous threat and mysterious being yet it is a if they can hold back each other. The most notable is the Being in the archaeological excavation; if thing don't go the way It want, It reset everything back. The amusement park creature eat human's time and seem to also be able to control it to a certain extent and would probably get pissed off if human go extinct. Same for the creature of the beach house that like to toys with human, it would be furious if its' toys disappeared.

If anyone wants to try and figure out if there's a real-world connection, the map in the chapter is Ōkawaōkawa, Gojome in Akita with some kanji changed. A friend on my scanlation team found it for me using the readable kanji and geographical freatures like the rivers.

Link to a random shrine near the center of the circle of glove drop locations.
The real world map could have just been used as a base or stand-in for a entirely fictional location, or this arc could be directly referencing the real world location and local lore.

I think this is pretty straightforward, if not entirely understood (which I think is the point).
Some entity is in the center. It's probably dangerous to humanity. For whatever reason, placing gloves in a rough circle around the entity prevents it from escaping that area and limits its actions. It's probably a symbolic ritual connecting gloves with hands. Gloves contain hands, or cover hands, something to that effect. It's a ritual to seal something away.
The entity kills people that have knowledge of it or of its containment, so that's anyone that has pryed into the nature of the job and come to some correct conclusion, which happens several times in this arc. I thought this happened regardless of distance because of the two supervisors that got killed, but they were only 15 minutes away from the containment area, which may have just been within range. If it had unlimited range, you'd think the old man would be killed since he has more knowledge than any of the gray workers could have come up with. The range may scale with the amount of knowledge you have of it. Which is why more complete knowledge of the entity wasn't passed down.
The entity kills people that it catches intentionally aiding in its containment. Appearing to place the gloves intentionally is what triggers this behavior. That's why you need to drop them nonchalantly as though it was an accident. This only happens nearby, in and around the containment area.
Anyone moving a dropped glove causes the entity to kill the individual that placed it. Not the person who moved it. We see this twice, the first guy accepts a dropped glove from a passerby and is killed, while the passerby is not. I think accepting the glove back is what triggered the death, and he would have been fine if he denied that he dropped it.
And at the beginning of this chapter, an old man is picking up many gloves to clean up the street. It looks like he's going to be killed because we see the finger from below, but we don't actually see it over him. Instead, in the next panel, we see it kill a gray worker who didn't seem to do anything wrong. I think the old man picking up multiple gloves weakened the seal allowed the entity to kill the guy that dropped them without him having to accept them back. This effect also only happens near the containment area.
Very esoteric, but not too incomprehensible if you accept that some parts of it aren't meant to be understood.

Yes, and like I mentioned here, I think it's based on range. It could also be time-based.
The weird face was the guy taking a selfie. You can see his peace sign, common selfie behavior. His face is weird because the artist loves that shit, and it's probably the photo setting, like fish eye or something. The person saying "You idiot" was the guy next to him.

Metaphorically speaking, it's just about a rite we all participate in without fully understanding why. Raise the interest rate. Cut tariffs. Lower the 30-year yield curve. Dunk the baby in the bathwater to give him a new name. Sure, we come up with stories about it, but ultimately it's just about silly things humans do because of tradition, and because we believe that if we don't do them, the world will end.
