Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 80

Park Rahee is currently in a state where all her limbs are bound.

Perhaps because of that, she assumed a posture where she bent her waist greatly once while lying down, then extended it.

“R-Rahee… d-did you regain consciousness?”

“Stay still! Even if she moves, just leave her!”

“M-moving what! Th-that’s probably just like convulsions or something.”

Seong Hayul stammered while desperately summoning common sense.

“After drinking two Sleeping Potions and getting pressure points struck, there’s no way she could wake up…”

But she sat right up anyway?

Park Rahee raised only her upper body upright, then stared directly at Seong Hayul.

“Don’t get close!”

Fortunately, nobody approaches Park Rahee.

Rather than trusting my words… it’s because Park Rahee’s face is total horror right now.

Her eyes are open but only the whites are visible. Literally eyes rolled back.

Twitch twitch.

Park Rahee is twisting her upper body with eerie movements.

She still can’t move freely. Because the regressor personally restrained her with magically reinforced rope.

“It’s okay, she’s still bound…”

Just as Seong Hayul, lacking learning capacity, summoned common sense again—

Rummmble—

Clatter-crash!

The earth shook and sharp luminous stones dropped from the ceiling with a thunk. Right above Park Rahee, of all places.

With a slight time lag, the rope binding Park Rahee slid loose.

‘As expected, this is how it goes.’

Outbreaks accompany natural disasters, so earthquakes can occur. That earthquake could cause luminous stones embedded in the ceiling to fall. That point could happen to be where Park Rahee is.

A chain reaction with a 0.0000000000001% probability where the luminous stone’s sharp fragments made microscopic scratches on the rope, and the luminous stone’s mana flowed inside to deactivate the enhancement magic.

“H-how…?”

Seong Hayul persistently summoned common sense, but it’s useless.

As a devoted reader of this novel, I can say with conviction.

Right now, brains need to be temporarily removed. Activating your brain is just a waste of brain capacity.

“S-Sora! Wh-what should we do?”

“Keep watching. Absolutely don’t approach!”

The prescient’s Authority only applies to completing his subordinates’ missions.

‘Park Rahee summons the grasshopper’ works.

‘The grasshopper uses its abilities’ also works.

But ‘the grasshopper kills all the students’ doesn’t work. Because the prescient’s Authority can’t move us too.

Additionally, ‘Park Rahee uses superhuman strength’ also doesn’t work. Because a healer like Park Rahee using superhuman strength can never happen even with a 0.0000001% probability.

Thank goodness she’s a healer.

‘That net works well.’

After her hands became free, Park Rahee tried removing the net covering her, but it didn’t look easy.

Though the earlier luminous stone fall created a flaw in part of the net, the expensive item only has a finger-sized hole at precisely that fall point.

Park Rahee can’t squeeze through there.

She stopped even trying to remove the net.

Realizing the material has such excellent elasticity that it doesn’t hinder movement, she left the net alone and moved one hand to rip open her collar.

She pulled out the necklace.

The moment she gripped it with both hands and channeled mana—

Whiiiiir—

The necklace transformed into brass-colored tongs.

Because I’d switched it.

She’s staring at the tongs, but no expression whatsoever can be read from Park Rahee’s face.

After all, she’s currently unconscious, eyes properly rolled back.

‘What will you do next!’

I’m observing intently when Park Rahee grabbed her neck collar again and tore off the topmost button.

Then put it in her mouth.

Is that the bomb’s backup switch?

The moment I recognized that—

Fwooooom—

Darkness exploded.

The complete opposite of dazzling flash—literally darkness.

Like ink bomb going boom, pitch-black erupted.

I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut while secretly marveling.

‘What, it really was a bomb?’

Park Rahee is the terrorist, grasshopper is the bomb, necklace is the switch.

That was just a metaphor though…

But when I opened my eyes again and looked around, there’s absolutely no chunks of flesh or blood pools.

“R-Rahee!”

“What!”

Park Rahee collapsed right back down. Her uniform is also intact. An explosion occurred, but not a physical explosion.

But analyzing the meaning comes later.

“Now! Find the bug!”

“Huh?”

“It’s a bug! We need to find the bug!”

“O-okay!”

I quickly looked at Gyeon Junhwi, who wore a surprised expression but didn’t leave his position by the window.

Right, Gyeon Junhwi needs to stay there.

To watch the outside situation and prepare for potential monster attacks.

“Juwan! Boram! Follow me! Seong Hayul… do what you want!”

Grasshopper extermination squad, deploy!

I approached Park Rahee with my babies in tow. I tried using the butterfly net to wade through the net and search for bugs, but with the room dark and the luminous stones shattered, it wasn’t easy.

I don’t see fluorescent color.

But the grasshopper is definitely there.

Because I absolutely trust <On the Brink of Destruction>’s frustrating nature.

Then—

Eeeeee—

I saw something attempting flight.

Grasshopper is a fly hybrid! It has wings!

It looks like it’s trying to fly away and escape, but it can’t get outside, blocked by the dense net.

Now’s the time!

Tssssss—

I hurriedly approached and fired the insecticide held in my right hand. Amazingly, the wings really dropped with a flutter and the grasshopper fell to the ground.

The grasshopper that fell to the ground began hopping left and right.

Though trapped in the net, it’s somehow trying to find a hole and get outside.

I need to kill it now, but…

‘Too fast!’

There’s no way Yeon Sora’s pathetic body can catch that speed.

“Boram! Juwan! Over there!”

“Where?”

“The part where the net’s bulging?”

Only the part of the net where the grasshopper is struggling keeps bouncing.

My babies ran toward that spot and stepped on the protruding part like whack-a-mole.

But it was useless.

Because the grasshopper managed to find the torn part of the net and popped outside.

Then it stuck right to Han Boram’s ankle.

Bzzzzzzz—

The grasshopper started vibrating and a faint fluorescent glow rose.

This is… freak-out flashing!

“Boram, it’s under your foot!”

“……”

Han Boram shows no reaction whatsoever.

Pause state.

Meanwhile, Yeom Juwan approached and removed the grasshopper stuck to Han Boram’s foot.

“This?”

“Yeah! Give it to me!”

But—

Juwan also entered pause state.

Bzzzzzzzz—

The grasshopper is excitedly conducting full-on freak-out flashing.

Right, that flashing is the problem!

My babies got hit by the freak-out flash!

I rushed over frantically and pried open Juwan’s fingers one by one to extract the grasshopper.

‘Kill it!’

Just as I resolved that and tried squeezing my hand—

Bzzzzzz—

The grasshopper started freak-out flashing round 3.

‘Huh?’

My vision suddenly went dark.

* * *

Darkness surrounds me.

But light is also visible.

Strange clusters of red, purple, orange, blue light.

Scattered glitter…

‘It’s space!’

The mist I saw earlier.

I’d thought it was a peculiar color combination, but it wasn’t mist—it’s like outer space.

The gorgeous colors are nebulae! The glitter is twinkling stars!

My heart is ridiculously pounding.

‘Amazing! This… is my first time in space!’

I’d always wanted to try space travel at least once.

Even working myself to the bone and saving would take decades, so I’d given up, but… good thing I gave up!

Right, what need is there to work myself to the bone saving in my previous life? Die young, possess, and you can do everything!

This is the multi-experience of possession!

Now I’ll do the frog swim in space with my babies…

‘Huh? Where are my babies?’

I look around but nobody’s here.

That snapped me back to my senses.

What the hell am I doing right now?

Since my body went to Andromeda, my thoughts also went to Andromeda.

This isn’t the time for space tourism.

There was definitely something important…

‘Right, the grasshopper!’

Memories gradually return.

I need to kill the grasshopper clenched in my fist.

But…

‘Mm?’

I don’t see my fist.

Not just my fist—hand, arm, shoulder, waist, feet all missing.

I’ve cast off my physical body and only my consciousness flew away to become cosmic dust.

This is quite awkward.

How do I escape from here?

Then, a voice came from somewhere in space.

[Why is only my body this shitty? How am I supposed to live with this kind of body?]

This voice is my voice.

More precisely, it’s the voice of Yeon Sora, who I possessed.

As someone borrowing the body, I’d been curious where Yeon Sora’s original soul went—apparently she was on Andromeda tour.

[It’s not like I was born with this face on purpose…]

[You think I smile like this because I want to?]

[Why do you hate only me when you don’t even know?]

[Why judge by appearances? When did I look down on anyone?]

For a while, self-pity continued.

Apparently for Real Sora, ‘worldview’s weakest body’ and ‘eye-level smile’ were considerable complexes.

‘The setting is a bit extreme.’

My head nods automatically.

I downloaded Real Sora’s past memories, so I know her life to some extent.

This child had school bullying-adjacent experiences because of that smiling face, and after that had a setting where she didn’t smile much.

‘She would’ve been more comfortable just living as is.’

Somewhat pitiful.

Yeon Sora is just born with this setting. Trying to forcibly change what’s innate causes unnecessary stress.

She would’ve lived comfortably if she’d just given up.

[Why does Seong Hayul keep ignoring me? What makes her so much better? She’d be dead already without me, right?]

Apparently Real Sora also observed recent events.

Has she been staying inside my body continuously? Could this be dissociative disorder?

Maybe I’m an evil parasitic soul that hijacked Yeon Sora’s body.

‘Sorry! It wasn’t intentional!’

For a while after that, cursing about Seong Hayul continued, but…

I’m an entity that forcibly stole Yeon Sora’s body. As a sinner, I decided to quietly shut up and listen.

[Han Boram feels bad too… what is that ability? How can a human be so cruel?]

Gore isn’t her taste.

But you know too, right? I’m the one who instigated that. Don’t curse my baby, curse me instead.

[Yeom Juwan is also funny. Weaker than me but who’s protecting whom?]

‘Hm?’

Suddenly I felt doubt.

In Yeon Sora’s past memories, there were only warm feelings toward Yeom Juwan.

That feeling of heart constricting and liking them so much. I know that feeling well.

Real Sora genuinely liked Yeom Juwan. Yet this kind of reaction shouldn’t emerge.

I snapped back to attention again.

‘You’re not Real Sora, are you?’

Right, I was dealing with the grasshopper just now!

The voice sounded too similar so I momentarily got fooled.

Need to add vocal mimicry to grasshopper special skills.

[That Yeom Juwan kid… it’s so obvious he hates me getting stronger, you know?]

[Why do I have to read the room? Do I have to be weaker than Juwan? Self-esteem deficiency has limits too…]

My blood pressure suddenly rises sharply.

This damned grasshopper bastard is daring to curse whom in front of whose face?

I can tolerate cursing me, but I can’t tolerate cursing my babies!

Immediate punishment needed!

But strangely, as my blood pressure rises, bodily sensations suddenly return.

I can feel blood vessels flowing along human form.

My hand also faintly…

[Gyeon Junhwi too…]

Crunch!

* * *

The darkness disappeared.

Before I knew it, my eyes are open, and the cabin appears in my vision again.

“R-Rahee… d-did she lose consciousness?”

“Wh-what do we do?”

Seong Hayul and Han Boram are cautiously approaching Park Rahee. Gyeon Junhwi is watching outside the window.

Juwan is approaching me.

“Sora, you okay?”

When I opened my left fist, the grasshopper was dead.

Juwan looked down at it and widened his eyes.

“What… it really was a bug?”

“You didn’t see earlier?”

“I saw it on Han Boram’s ankle, but…”

“What about before that?”

Yeom Juwan shakes his head left and right.

“Then the darkness explosion?”

“Darkness explosion?”

“Like ink bomb going splat and spreading.”

I use both hands to demonstrate the explosion scene, when suddenly Juwan placed his hand on my forehead and frowned.

“As expected, you… have a fever.”

After that, Juwan pulled fever reducer from his inventory and fed it to me.

The meaning is ‘she’s feverish and crazy, seeing things.’

My baby is an angel so he can’t put such words into sentence form.

Anyway, Juwan didn’t see the darkness explosion.

I obediently swallowed the medicine while compiling clues.

‘Grasshopper… only I can see it?’

Looking back, I’m the only one who saw the living grasshopper. People saw the corpse—Yeom Juwan and Ha Seonwoo both saw it…

This is an extremely important clue.

I collected other pieces using ‘only I’ as a keyword.

Grasshopper only I can see.

Space mist only I can see.

Darkness explosion only I can see.

Temple’s mana marble only I can detect.

And…

The final key connecting all this.

Super-premium fuel only I possess.

‘What was it called again?’

Special mana or pure mana, something like that.

Looks like I need to visit the mad scientist unnie when I get out.

Just as I was organizing new plans—

“He’s here.”

Gyeon Junhwi suddenly opened the cabin door and rushed outside.

Through the open door gap, I saw a figure approaching this way.

It’s Ki Hyeonmin.
