The Civil Servant Who Conceals Her Power Is Too Good at Possession Chapter 12

In the original story, Choi Woojin only appears and abducts Kang Ilyeon after Kang Wolyeon has already become a villain.

 

The reason was—

 

‘So this is the key to the subspace where Kang Ilyeon is trapped?’

 

…because he only discovers the subspace key at that point.

 

But why has the original story changed?

 

The only things that have changed from the original story are that Team 5, including myself, survived, and— 

 

‘The Black Market owner!’

 

That man survived.

 

Along with a mountain of evidence.

 

I looked at the fox-shaped keyring in Choi Woojin’s hand.

 

‘That keyring is different from the one in the original.’

 

In the original, Choi Woojin entered through the cat-shaped keyring I used.

 

‘So as someone in the same line of work, he already had a keyring!’

 

I didn’t particularly care how Choi Woojin had managed to access the belongings of an incarcerated criminal.

 

‘That man is the type to do whatever it takes, by any means necessary, to achieve his goal!’

 

“Hello, Kang Ilyeon. Wow… Seeing you like this feels new.”

 

At that moment,

 

Choi Woojin beamed and dropped to one knee in front of Kang Ilyeon.

 

“Wh-who….”

 

“Ah. Me?”

 

There it was.

 

The protagonist’s signature move.

 

Smiling playfully while scheming in the dark!

 

Chills ran down my entire body as I watched him grin.

 

“I’m Wolyeon’s friend.”

 

Liar!

 

“Wolyeon asked me to look after you. Mm….”

 

Just then, the staff member named Alex groggily pushed himself up from the pile of debris. 

 

Alex reached into his uniform to pull out a radio and make a call, but— 

 

Thwack!

 

As if that would happen. 

 

Something like a rubber ball shot from Choi Woojin’s hand, and along with the walkie-talkie, the sound of bones snapping rang out from Alex’s grip.

 

It was an incredible reaction speed.It was an incredible reaction speed. 

 

“Aagh!”

 

Choi Woojin glanced at Alex as he collapsed clutching his hand, then turned back to Kang Ilyeon with the same bright smile.

 

“…It’s a bit noisy here, so how about you come with me?”

 

At that, Kang Ilyeon sent him a wary look.

 

“This is… my home. The chairman told me to stay here. If you’re Wolyeon’s friend, you’d know that.”

 

“Ah… the chairman.”

 

A subtle expression crossed Choi Woojin’s face.

 

He glanced briefly in my direction—

 

Then turned his head away.

 

‘I can’t hear his inner thoughts anymore, this is driving me crazy!’

 

While I was having those thoughts, the slime, which seemed equally terrified by the situation, crawled up my calf and onto my lap. 

 

“Kyuu….”

 

Ah, right. This little guy.

 

“What if I could kill the chairman for you?”

 

“…?”

 

Excuse me? There’s a police officer listening right here. 

 

The original protagonist really was a madman! 

 

“That red medicine the chairman gives you. I have some too. What do you say?”

 

Choi Woojin pulled a glass vial filled with bright red liquid from his coat and shook it lightly.

 

A dark light flickered in Kang Ilyeon’s eyes.

 

“My medicine….”

 

“What would you do if I killed the Chairman and gave this medicine to you?” 

 

This lunatic.

 

He’s tempting an addict with the very thing they’re addicted to!

 

Choi Woojin had shown up far more unhinged than in the original.

 

‘Is this Psycho Version 2.0?!’ 

 

Smiling softly, he continued,

 

“You and Wolyeon could live happily together from now on. You’d never have to worry about disappointing the chairman again. That man… I’ll ‘delete’ him from this earth.”

 

At this rate, who even is the villain?

 

But Kang Ilyeon, as if swayed by those words, reached out as if possessed toward the glass vial in Choi Woojin’s hand.  

 

A glint passed through Choi Woojin’s eyes.

 

He toyed with the ornate silver ring on his finger.

 

‘Warp item.’

 

That ring transports him to the basement of his house.

 

In the original, he had used it to abduct Kang Ilyeon.

 

But just before his hand could grasp the vial, Kang Ilyeon hesitated.

 

Kang Ilyeon eventually looked at me.

 

“The Bureau said they’re holding Wol-yeon.” 

 

Choi Woojin’s gaze shifted from Kang Ilyeon to me.

 

“The Hunter Investigation Bureau?”

 

‘H-he’s handsome….’

 

Completely different from Ikseong’s clean-cut looks—this one’s crooked and dangerous.

 

—Wait, that’s not the point! The protagonist is focusing on me!

 

“So what happens now? One of you… is lying, right?”

 

At that moment, Kang Ilyeon’s voice turned cold.

 

He pulled a whistle from his pocket.

 

A whistle? That’s—

 

Before my thoughts could settle, Kang Ilyeon began to blow it in a steady, rhythmic pattern.

 

Like some established language.

 

At the same time, from among the fallen rubble, black figures with crimson eyes rose to their feet.

 

Slightly taller than an adult human—

 

‘Two golems.’

 

That’s right. Golems were among the things Kang Ilyeon could create.

 

A type of humanoid construct.

 

And those were—

 

‘Weapons.’

 

Unlike my rising dread, Choi Woojin simply observed the golems before glancing back at me.

 

“A puppy investigator from the Bureau?”

 

Puppy?

 

I remembered that the mask I was wearing was shaped like a ‘puppy.’ 

 

Right. The masks here are handed out randomly to guests.

 

“This is a shame. You must have underestimated him because he’s a minor, but our Ilyeon isn’t an easy target.” 

 

Choi Woojin jerked his chin toward Kang Ilyeon, now surrounded by golems.

 

He closed the distance between us naturally, wrapping an arm around my shoulder and murmuring softly near my ear.

 

“From here on out, siding with me will be the fastest way for you to get out of this place.”

 

His fingers brushed the ring again.

 

This was dangerous. 

 

This was an absolute crisis—either abducted, or crushed to death by golems!

 

I survived an explosion only to face this?

 

“I don’t know which of you is lying, but people… when pushed into a corner, they tend to tell the truth. Right?”

 

As Kang Ilyeon blew the whistle again, the golems lunged toward us.

 

A massive hand swung down, poised to crush me—

 

Choi Woojin moved first, lifting me up and dodging to the side.

 

He punched the other golem.

 

A thunderous boom split the air.

 

The golem’s face shattered, its red circular eye—bolted in with screws—popping outward.

 

But only for a moment—

 

Peep—

 

As Kang Ilyeon blew the whistle again, a new golem appeared from behind.

 

‘There were three of them?’

 

Damn it.

 

I realized then that Kang Ilyeon had merely pretended to take my kicks earlier.

 

He had hidden these weapons and was trying to extract information about Kang Wolyeon. 

 

He might even have deliberately leaked information about the so-called new suspect.

 

“Ah, I have no choice then. Ilyeon, I’ll come back for you later. Wait for me. Well then……” 

 

Just as Choi Woojin was about to activate his ring,

 

I pulled the slime water gun from my pocket.

 

It looked, to anyone else, like a child’s toy.

 

Choi Woojin frowned.

 

“Investigator, are you putting on a show? It’s cute and all, but that thing won’t—”

 

Cute my foot!

 

I pulled the trigger.

 

Squelch!

 

With a pitiful sound, green liquid shot out.

 

Not at Choi Woo-jin, but at the slime on my lap.

 

This ‘Slime Water Gun’ that I bought for 100 million won. 

 

The others there wouldn’t have known, but I knew the hidden effect of this water gun. 

 

The slime juice inside wasn’t from an ordinary slime.

 

‘It’s the juice of a King Slime.’

 

When you spray King Slime juice onto a regular slime—

 

“Kyuuuuuuuu?”

 

The regular slime becomes a King Slime!

 

“…?”

 

The slime began to grow.

 

Like a crashing wave, the wobbling belly of the slime covered both me and Choi Woojin. 

 

And in that moment—

 

Activating ‘Your Body is My Body, My Body is Also My Body’!

 

I triggered my skill.

 

“Kyuuuuuuuuuuuuung…?”

 

And I became the slime.
