Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 76

“H-how! Rahee!”

“Sora!”

“Snap out of it!”

Multiple voices were audible but I couldn’t respond.

I’m still in paralysis mode.

The entire time Ki Hyeonmin was fighting.

Couldn’t curse at them not to touch my baby, couldn’t launch flame spears to obliterate those bastards—couldn’t do anything but watch.

No, even watching wasn’t easy.

My head happened to be frozen facing forward, so I couldn’t see well when things moved outside my field of vision.

Not that I could see anyway since Ki Hyeonmin was Stealthed, but….

“Seong Hayul, you have Resurrection Potion, right?”

This is why a walking potion shop is great. Surprising that Seong Hayul, who doesn’t particularly like me, readily provided such a precious potion.

After something gulped down my throat, sensation gradually returned to my hands and feet. I can wiggle now.

Meanwhile, Yeom Juwan and Han Boram conducted physical examinations.

“Roll up your sleeves!”

“I-I don’t think there’s blood….”

The situation was this.

I was paralyzed with my arm linked to Park Rahee’s when the yellow twin came over chattering about something, then Park Rahee suddenly got up like she was possessed and walked out.

Since our arms were linked, I got dragged along, and though Yeom Juwan and Han Boram grabbed me, the TA side had more strength.

The TA turned toward Ki Hyeonmin’s direction, then panicked and tried to sever my arm and flee carrying only Park Rahee.

For reference, this is all speculation based on sounds.

My gaze was fixed forward, so I didn’t see either.

“S-S-Sora… y-your hand?”

They rolled up my sleeve—pristine.

Not a scratch. Not a bruise.

And I know why!

‘This is the power of wearable barriers!’

Checking, the gauge on the A-grade barrier bracelet I’d secretly worn was at 2%.

Right, if you’re going where bullets fly, body armor is basic!

Lucky I brought an A-grade barrier.

Even luckier the twins are only A-grade after transformation.

Low-stat TAs accompany 1st floor practicals.

Too high and stage difficulty changes to Hell.

“I’m fine!”

“Th-thank goodness!”

My heart’s also pounding from this close call after so long, but I forced myself to sound cheerful so my babies wouldn’t worry.

But Seong Hayul approached, grabbed both my shoulders, and started shaking me like crazy.

“Yeon Sora! Your dream! Was this it? You said Park Rahee dies if she gets three steps away from you!”

My prophecy inadvertently came true.

‘Didn’t think of that.’

I’d only seen Park Rahee as a grasshopper breeder, but meanwhile her stock had also crashed and she’d fallen to sacrifice status.

They must’ve planted hypnosis or brainwashing in Park Rahee too.

From the twins’ perspective, a sacrifice that willingly walks over on her own feet would’ve been more attractive than one throwing a fit about not wanting to follow.

Not knowing that, I’d just focused more on guarding Seong Hayul.

“Yeon Sora, do you know where Park Rahee went?”

Judging by Gyeon Junhwi’s lips, this is a dangerous situation.

If Park Rahee becomes a sacrifice, an Outbreak triggers. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of monsters will swarm in.

But I… don’t know where Park Rahee went.

“Sorry… I don’t know.”

“Then we’ll have to figure it out ourselves.”

Junhwi immediately spread out a map.

The map distributed by the academy before the practical.

He drew three massive red circles on it.

“Not these red zones. From the remaining areas, narrow down legends or myth backgrounds where monsters appear en masse.”

“Why that….”

“A bug. Gyeon Junhwi’s a bug specialist.”

Even if I said Outbreak, they wouldn’t believe it.

In this worldview, Outbreaks are still rare phenomena, and even the one at the awakening test was a huge issue.

Saying another one triggered in just a few weeks would provoke rejection.

Supporting with beginning-middle-end bug logic worked surprisingly well.

“Ah, a bug.”

“Right, a bug.”

“I’ll explain in detail later. There’s no time. We need to find it within 10 minutes.”

“Got it.”

The time required to draw an Outbreak magic circle is 10 minutes.

Our Junhwi always carries teleportation scrolls, so we can move to that location once coordinates are marked.

Plus the mastermind doesn’t open Outbreaks just anywhere. If they open a rift but the space has no monsters living there, it’s meaningless.

We just need to find the Outbreak hotspot within 10 minutes, but….

‘I don’t know!’

I don’t recognize the place names written on the map.

“There’s an oasis guarded by a giant called Jerzura… but there’s a giant but the interior is an oasis, so it doesn’t count, right?”

“Not that. It needs to be a space where large numbers of monsters inhabit.”

Seong Hayul who studies surprisingly hard.

Yeom Juwan who studied the 1st floor intensively for today.

Gyeon Junhwi who obsessively fact-checks.

While these three examined the map and deduced the location, I stepped back to avoid being in the way.

I need to study.

‘Will it be okay?’

I’m insanely anxious.

Of all people, Park Rahee is the hostage….

The worst possible opponent in a hostage situation.

What if they say ‘put down your sword to save the hostage,’ the sword gets lowered, but Park Rahee approaches and stabs?

‘Should’ve attached a GPS!’

GPS items don’t work in instance areas since they’re parallel spaces.

This can’t be helped…

‘…!’

Something suddenly flashed and I looked at Han Boram—completely pale face, wiggling her fingers.

She’s been enjoying school life lately so I almost forgot, but Han Boram is originally a yandere character.

In the original’s early parts, Han Boram coincidentally appeared wherever Gyeon Junhwi went, but it turned out she’d cast tracking arts.

Sorcery based on the principle that body parts interact with each other even after contact breaks.

If Han Boram collected a tracking target’s hair, eyelashes, and nails, she could track that owner’s location—a human GPS.

This is a unique skill that works even in instance areas.

‘Don’t tell me?’

Han Boram is a miscellaneous DNA hoarder. And Park Rahee and I are precious first friends she made.

Plus at the first sleepover, Han Boram brought a hair and makeup set.

She touched our hair. Applied mascara multiple times. Brought a full manicure set.

Hair, eyelashes, nails.

That was actually… material collection?

“Boram.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Judging by her startled reaction, she also realizes this is somewhat creepy.

Need to talk about this privately.

* * *

“Boram, come with me to find the Drone Eye for a bit.”

“Yeon Sora! In this situation, a Drone Eye makes sense to you?”

“But we can’t just leave it behind, right? I’m not helpful here anyway.”

I took Han Boram far away, retrieved the Drone Eye, then got to the point.

“Boram, you know, right? Where Park Rahee went.”

“That’s….”

She can’t say no.

But she’s hesitating.

Because saying this reveals her yandere tendencies.

But sweetie, this unnie already knows everything.

I pointed at the Deathworm remains scattered everywhere.

“Boram, I was okay even seeing this.”

“Y-yeah…. But….”

Even Han Boram with her blank-slate common sense seems to know that collecting other people’s nails, hair, and eyelashes isn’t good.

But that common sense can just be corrected.

“Actually, I’ve always believed you were protecting me. Because we’re precious friends.”

“Y-yeah… r-right!”

“What matters is the fact you’re protecting, whatever the method. You definitely protected Rahee too.”

“But….”

“What’s important isn’t the method. What matters is the fact you’re protecting. We need to find Park Rahee now to protect her.”

It was effective.

After hesitating, Han Boram opened her inventory and pulled out a small dollhouse.

Inside the dollhouse sat three dolls having a tea party.

Each had purple, pink, and gold hair.

Han Boram, me, Park Rahee.

But…

The Yeon Sora doll’s hair is so voluminous she’s like Rapunzel.

‘So it all went here?’

No wonder my hair wasn’t falling out to a strange degree. I thought that was from rejuvenation.

“J-just a moment.”

Han Boram picked up the Park Rahee doll, closed her eyes, and muttered something.

Shortly after, the Park Rahee doll’s hand bent at an odd angle.

The appearance of being dragged somewhere.

She’s at that fingertip’s direction.

“That way?”

“Y-yeah!”

“Good job. Hide that for now, it’d be awkward if others knew.”

“C-can I hide it?”

“Of course. Things like this should be done when you’re mentally prepared to reveal them.”

“Uh… yeah! O-okay!”

Right, yandere coming-out on Han Boram’s schedule.

How I learned this information can be covered by prophecy anyway.

I hurriedly returned to Gyeon Junhwi and marked the direction on the map.

“This way!”

Maybe because there’s no time, Gyeon Junhwi immediately examined the place names in that direction without questioning.

“Then it’s here. The Well of Barhout. The motif is a sinkhole in Yemen. Also called the Well of Hell.”

My baby, truly amazing.

He’d even studied zones not appearing in the novel.

“W-Well of Hell… that’s a creepy name?”

“In Arabian legend, it’s considered a place to imprison djinn. Djinn are a kind of demon that live in civilization like humans. Meaning they can attack in groups. They look like smoke, so they might not be easily visible to us. Their body form is also gaseous, so tricky….”

“Are djinn appearing because of the bug?”

“Best if they don’t appear, but just in case.”

Gyeon Junhwi took time to explain djinn characteristics and weaknesses. Because if an Outbreak triggers there, djinn associated with the legend will likely pop out.

After the explanation finished, Gyeon Junhwi pulled out a scroll from his pocket.

A teleportation scroll.

“Unfortunately it’s for 3 people, so two have to stay here. Seong Hayul, Yeon Sora stay inside this barrier. Yeom Juwan, Han Boram come with me.”

“No! Please anyone else is fine, just not Yeon Sora!”

“This place with the barrier is relatively safer.”

A 3-person scroll—my baby must’ve lacked capital. But no worries.

“It’s fine, I have one too. Mark the coordinates for me.”

I also came prepared.

Teleportation scroll.

I’d purchased and brought along all the miscellaneous items Gyeon Junhwi prepared in the original.

Gyeon Junhwi looked slightly surprised but shook his head.

“You staying here is safer.”

I appreciate the thought.

But listen.

My babies are going to the Well of Hell where an Outbreak will trigger, and you’re telling me to stay here?

This noona didn’t possess just to watch from the sidelines.

“I’m following.”

“……”

“If you don’t give me coordinates, I’ll mark them randomly, okay?”

“Fine, let’s go together.”

Gyeon Junhwi gave up surprisingly quickly.

Seems like there’s not much time.

He wrote coordinates on my hand—inputting these enables instant teleportation to that point.

But there’s something to do first.

I turned to Seong Hayul and held out my hand.

“My scroll isn’t free.”

“What?”

“If you want to come along, 20 mana potions.”

“You… you!!! Yeon Sora!!!”

“If you don’t want to, stay here. Alone. Where monsters might appear.”

Seong Hayul’s face turned red with fury, but she held out mana potions.

Actually wanted to just ask verbally, but judging by Seong Hayul’s personality in the work, she’d absolutely refuse.

A bit sorry but can’t be helped.

I ran out of mana potions leveling up earlier.

I uncorked a potion, downed it in one shot, then raised the scroll.

“Let’s go.”

To save my babies!
