Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 79

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dimly lit interior.

Earth walls with a reddish aura.

We’d entered the ‘Gatekeeper of Hell’s cabin’ we’d set as our destination.

‘My baby really is amazing!’

Moving precisely inside a building like this isn’t actually easy. Even using teleportation scrolls, you usually land somewhere near the main gate or front entrance.

“W-w-we… made it to the right place, right?”

“We’re alive!”

“Haah… I really thought we were dead.”

“It’s not over yet.”

While the team members sprawled on the floor, Gyeon Junhwi approached the window. Since there’s no glass, it’s not really a window but just a hole in the wall.

Gyeon Junhwi reached his hand through that hole and channeled mana into <Nine-Tailed Fox Nest>.

Sssss—

White threads began playing cat’s cradle on their own, creating a fence. From now on, the illusion magic will apply and we’ll be invisible to monster eyes.

Only then did tension ease slightly from Gyeon Junhwi’s face.

“We’ll be fine for a while. I’ll keep watch, so rest.”

“N-now final… cough-cough!”

“Han Boram, are you okay?”

Han Boram is coughing like crazy, so Yeom Juwan rushed over and handed her a drink. After that, the two whisper something to each other—the atmosphere of mutual encouragement for doing well.

Comradeship is sprouting between the two who’d been subtly competing over ownership of Yeon Sora!

“Yeon Sora.”

Meanwhile, Seong Hayul gestured at me while looking my way, then cautiously held out a bottle.

A bottle containing bluish liquid.

“What’s this?”

“Shh!”

She glanced at my babies once, then looked at me again and whispered.

‘Pour it on your hand. Healing Potion.’

She means treat the hand I cut earlier while giving my babies buffs.

It actually hurts and stings quite a bit, but I’ve been covering it with my sleeve to hide it, worried Juwan might notice.

Grateful, but…

‘It’s free?’

‘Ugh, seriously!’

‘How much?’

‘It’s a gift, so hurry up and heal! If they see, there’ll be more crying and fussing!’

Why is she acting like this today?

But since it’s free, I readily accepted and sprinkled it on the injured area—new flesh grew in real-time and my arm was restored.

Whoa! The effect is insane! As expected from <On the Brink of Destruction>’s best potion peddler!

“Thanks!”

“Shh!”

I don’t know why she’s trying to hide doing a good deed.

I also checked on Park Rahee—she’s obediently unconscious.

Yeom Juwan and Han Boram are still whispering.

Gyeon Junhwi is watching outside the window.

Somehow… this feels like the atmosphere after finishing one episode and taking a break.

“How’s the situation outside?”

I casually approached Gyeon Junhwi and peeked my head out.

Our side of the sky is blue without a single cloud, but near the rift, dark clouds are billowing.

Ki Hyeonmin is in the center of that.

Alone.

‘Again…’

My chest aches.

Because Ki Hyeonmin’s calm demeanor witnessing the Outbreak came to mind.

This absurd frustrating plot that left even two possessors flabbergasted… is routine daily life for my baby.

He seemed more flustered when I was covering things or when Gyeon Junhwi noticed the hidden piece.

The team members also started adding their worries.

“Will Ki Hyeonmin be okay alone?”

“Let’s hope so.”

“What if Ki Hyeonmin can’t close the Outbreak?”

“Since the signal was detected externally too, a rescue team will come in 24 hours.”

“Then what about Ki Hyeonmin?”

“……”

“……”

Actually, in novel terms, this is the climax section. The rift opens and monsters pour out—a life-or-death moment.

But we’ve evacuated safely, while Ki Hyeonmin single-handedly invaded the monsters’ stronghold.

“That crazy bastard, there’s no way a freshman could close an Outbreak alone.”

“B-but Ki Hyeonmin f-fights well! He’ll be okay!”

“Still, if we’d gone together…”

Yeom Juwan didn’t finish the sentence.

Because we could barely last 40 seconds against djinn even combining several people’s strength.

If we followed, we’d only be in the way.

“Judging by the rift not growing larger, he’s already attacking the core.”

Gyeon Junhwi wears a bitter smile.

He did everything he could, but with the developments flowing this way, he seems drained and his confidence took a hit.

‘It’s okay, you can handle this to the end! Even when situations far shittier than this strike, you’ll grow accordingly and overcome them all!’

…is what I can’t say aloud.

I turned my head to survey the interior and spotted a room over there. This cabin is a two-room.

I returned my head to its original position and looked at Gyeon Junhwi—my baby was also doing the same mental rotation.

“……”

“……”

Yeah, we need to talk.

But not now.

Secret rendezvous after the Outbreak and djinn problems are solved?

After finishing that eye contact conversation, I moved my feet.

“I’ll go check on Park Rahee.”

Ki Hyeonmin has Ki Hyeonmin’s duties.

Gyeon Junhwi has Gyeon Junhwi’s duties.

And I have things only I can do too.

* * *

I approached Park Rahee lying next to Seong Hayul and inspected her condition more closely.

Rope restraints? No issues.

Strange mist? None.

Still unconscious? Good.

But just in case, let me ask.

“She didn’t move during transit?”

“How could she move after drinking Sleeping Potion?”

“Potions aren’t 100%.”

“It’s fine. I also… gave her some.”

“What?”

“Sleeping… Potion.”

Seong Hayul scratches behind her ear while looking at distant mountains.

When I said we needed to knock her out, she was jumping around protesting, but secretly she also double-dosed her.

‘That… side effects will be no joke…’

Sleeping Potion brings tremendous headaches like a hangover when you wake up.

Double dose means double hangover.

At this point, Park Rahee is starting to seem pitiful… no! Sympathizing with a subordinate is forbidden!

‘Should’ve picked the right side from the start. Who told you to stick with the mastermind?’

I forcibly spat out grumpy inner thoughts to control my weak heart.

Let’s not forget. This is the universe’s strongest Frustrationland.

Weak humans who sympathize with enemies get catastrophically killed immediately.

“If Park Rahee wakes up, let me know.”

“She absolutely won’t wake up for the next 4 hours.”

“There’s no ‘absolutely’ in this world.”

“Our potions have a 0.000000001% failure rate, you know?”

“Exactly. So it’s not 100%, right?”

There’s no such thing as 100% in this world.

Sometimes people die from minuscule probabilities. Sometimes people resurrect from minuscule probabilities too.

People call that a miracle.

Triggering such minuscule probabilities in succession to catalyze a chain reaction of miracles—that’s precisely the prescient’s Authority, <Absolute Destiny>.

‘That reminds me.’

Similar to a movie Dad used to like.

A movie about survivors who miraculously escaped a plane crash eventually dying one by one.

Pouring alcohol into a cup, but that cup happens to be cracked so alcohol flows to the floor. That alcohol happens to flow into a monitor causing the screen to explode. The exploded fragments happen to lodge in the neck. Grabbing a towel to stop the bleeding, but it happens to be a towel on a knife holder so the knife falls and lodges in the heart—insane Rube Goldberg chain.

One of the masterminds, the prescient, can trigger such insane miracles.

Of course, there are restrictions.

‘It’s still early stages, so he can probably only use it on his subordinates, right?’

The Outbreak triggering was also because of the Authority.

Generally, spirits can’t possess when a soul stone remains inside an awakened body, but the yellow TA is an evolved experimental subject with special characteristics.

Whether spirit arts evolved or the body evolved. Somehow minuscule probabilities occurred in succession, making the dead corpse rip out its own heart and trigger an Outbreak.

The important part isn’t that!

‘I could see it with my eyes?’

That mysterious mist emerging from the TA’s body.

Maybe… I can see the moment Authority manifests with my eyes?

Can’t deny I’m running my hope circuits a bit, but if that’s true, this is a tremendous advantage.

Then I need to verify!

I immediately opened my inventory and dumped out all the necessary supplies.

<Once stepped on, even raccoons can’t escape! Super-Strong Sticky Trap!>, <Just spray and wings fall right off! Flying Pest Exterminator!>, <Even fruit flies can’t penetrate! Ultra-Fine Mesh Net!>, <Automatically hunts all moving bugs! Carnivorous Tentacles!> Etc.

“Yeon Sora, what are you doing now?”

Seong Hayul is looking at me with a deeply furrowed brow.

“Bug prevention.”

“What?”

“Bugs are insects. I’m catching insects if they come out of Park Rahee.”

Right, gotta catch grasshoppers!

I bought <On the Brink of Destruction>’s best-selling pest control products for today!

“Haah… that I’m having conversations with this lunatic… truly a stain on my life, a stain.”

Well, I knew you wouldn’t help anyway.

I turned my head toward my babies.

“Juwan, Boram. Can you help?”

“Y-yeah! Bugs are insects! S-Sora’s a genius!”

“…R-right.”

Boram with her clean slate common sense is giving me full support. On the other hand, Juwan… seems to desperately want to believe.

Actually, Juwan’s difficulty level is higher.

How hard is it to believe a friend while going against common sense!

That effort is just so admirable and lovely.

“Then help me set up this net.”

Thus began the Great Grasshopper Extermination Operation!

We laid Park Rahee in proper position, covered her with the ultra-fine mesh net, then meticulously hammered nails around the edges to secure it.

We deployed carnivorous tentacles and sticky traps all around that.

This world has many rare flora and fauna, so there are quite interesting products—these carnivorous tentacles were supposedly taken from a legendary carnivorous plant called ‘Ya Tebeo.’ They catch and eat all moving insects. I’m rather quite extremely curious to see this.

“Here, hold this.”

I handed Juwan and Boram insecticide and butterfly nets one each, then sat quietly waiting for Park Rahee to move.

We waited for quite a while without movement, but I still waited. Because blessings come to those who wait!

“Gyeon Junhwi, what do you think about Yeon Sora’s crazy act?”

Seong Hayul seemed to be seeking agreement from Junhwi, but my baby responded with a cheerful smile.

“Who says bugs can’t be insects? No harm in preparing.”

“Even you, Gyeon Junhwi? Weren’t you someone with common sense?”

“Normally yes, but… this practical has completely defied common sense.”

“Insects will definitely come out.”

“Ugh, that crazy girl!”

I’m certain.

Today, right at this timing, grasshoppers will emerge.

My basis?

Because that’s the most frustrating development.

‘The author won’t miss this opportunity!’

Considering <On the Brink of Destruction>’s frustratingess, I’d be disappointed if grasshoppers don’t appear here.

The grasshopper’s abilities are barrier release and monster army formation.

If grasshoppers pop out now, they can release the Nine-Tailed Fox Nest, rush out to the djinn to perform mass summoning, and catastrophically kill us all.

Such a golden opportunity—there’s no way an author who’s a frustration enthusiast, addict, zealot, fanatic would just let this pass.

Park Rahee will stubbornly get up and summon grasshoppers.

No matter how hard we feed her potions, press her pressure points, tie her with rope, hide the switch. She’ll gloss over it with flimsy plausibility like ‘it happened because of the prescient’s Authority.’

Preventing grasshopper emergence is impossible.

Therefore, cleanly give up on prevention and kill the grasshoppers the moment they appear!

Killing is 100% possible.

I’ve already killed them twice.

‘Come out, come out, come out.’

I gripped the butterfly net while continuously chanting internally.

How much time passed like that.

‘It’s here!’

I saw strange mist rising above Park Rahee.

That mist I saw earlier. Black, red, purple… every color mixed together with even glitter sprinkled on—strange mist.

As expected, I can see Authority with my eyes!

“Juwan, Boram! Get ready!”

“Huh?”

“Wh-what for?”

No need to add explanations.

Because Park Rahee moved the moment my words ended.
