A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 152
[Hey, I’ll call you when my sister gets back! Take care, okay!]
“Wait, hold on!”
Kang Il-yeon blocked the conversation between the two and swiftly snatched the phone from Lee Yu-gyeom’s hands.
While Lee Yu-gyeom stood stunned by this unexpected A-rank display, Kang Il-yeon spoke.
“Sister!”
[Huh? Il-yeon?]
“Yes! Um, if there’s anything urgent, just use the owl signal! You know, right?”
Owl signal?
What’s that?
While Lee Yu-gyeom and Kang Won-yeon exchanged glances, Lee Yu-ji spoke.
[Got it! Understood! Don’t….]
[Hey, you bastard. Why aren’t you running out already?]
[I’m running out noooooow!]
“Huh? Um… That….”
After the call cut off at an awkward moment, Kang Min-joo spoke with a bewildered expression.
“Was that person just now… that person? That investigator Lee Yu-ji?”
“Yeah. She’s our sister.”
At Lee Yu-gyeom’s answer, Kang Min-joo’s expression became peculiar.
Far more than she had anticipated….
‘She seems kind of scatterbrained?’

* * *
A smuggling container from Russia.
Inside were contraband items and a group of people trapped together.
“Ugh… hic….”
“Stop crying already! You’re driving me insane!”
“You be quiet too! How are we supposed to stay calm when we don’t even know where we’re being sold?”
Sharp-edged people.
They were all individuals who had experienced loan sharks or hit rock bottom in life before ending up on this cargo ship.
Loaded into the container like mere cargo.
And the tension that had been building suddenly exploded.
“Damn it. Keep it down!”
A man sitting at the far end, wearing crooked glasses and a face covered in bruises, finally snapped.
He hurled a box that had been beside him toward the young woman and middle-aged man who had been raising their voices.
The styrofoam inside burst, scattering throughout the dark container.
“What the hell, you bastard!”
The middle-aged man, already on edge, naturally lunged at him.
Despite his scrawny appearance, Glasses Man slammed the middle-aged man down in one motion.
The entire container shook from the impact, causing everyone’s eyes to widen.
“What is that person….”
“That person must be an Awakened One….”
“But why is he here?”
“I’m not supposed to be here like this. I, I, I didn’t do anything wrong… What did I do wrong? All I did was sell some Lamia hides to those bastards when they asked for it….”
Glasses Man, muttering incomprehensibly, kicked the middle-aged man sprawled on the ground several more times as he coughed and groaned.
The middle-aged man then lost consciousness without further movement.
“Damn it! Let me out! You bastards! Let me out!
As Glasses Man pounded on the container, the wall dented slightly.
Everyone trembled in fear at the loud banging.
Someone began sobbing again.
Glasses Man then approached the weeping woman with bloodshot eyes.
“Damn it, keep it down. Why am I trapped in a place like this with you people….”
The moment Glasses Man reached out to grab the woman’s neck.
Thwack!
A foot struck the back of Glasses Man’s head.
Glasses Man crashed to the ground without even a scream.
“Ugh… Hak… You… You….”
As Glasses Man looked up from his fallen position.
“Huh? He didn’t pass out.”
A blonde foreign woman in a leather jacket tilted her head and immediately delivered another downward strike to Glasses Man.
Smack!
As stars flashed before his eyes, Glasses Man lost consciousness.
‘What… what is this…?’
The woman who had nearly been attacked stared at the blonde woman with startled eyes.
“Are you alright?”
The blonde woman asked with remarkably calm eyes, despite having just knocked down what appeared to be an Awakened being.
‘Is she also an Awakened…? But why on earth is she here…?’
It was at that moment the woman had this thought.
From the back, a thin-framed grandmother rose to her feet.
The grandmother, who had been sitting silently in the container until now, let down her long hair and then tied it back tightly as she spoke.
“Hey. Can’t you catch that in one go? Honestly.”
Then she casually pulled out a pistol from her bosom.
‘There was space for something like that?’
Surely all her belongings had been confiscated when she boarded the container!
“It’s getting noisy outside.”
Then a young boy who had been sitting quietly spoke, gazing up at the open ceiling of the container.
Several geese were perched on that ceiling.
“The container’s loud, so they’re probably trying to come in. Anyway, these villain bastards always mess things up. Well, I was already itching for some action anyway.”
And soon a blue-eyed man who looked like a ruffian stood up from his seat.
He then tapped the unconscious glasses man a couple of times and asked the blonde woman.
“Hey, you didn’t kill this guy, right? Ah… he’s still alive. Damn.”
“Is that something an investigator should be saying?”
The blonde woman spoke with clear displeasure.
‘An investigator…?’
That was when it happened.
Incomprehensible Russian words came from in front of the container.
‘Those massive bear-like men!’
The woman could sense it instinctively.
The woman who had been captured because of loan sharks was being kidnapped by Russians.
‘How does it feel to be sold instead of paying money? They said they’d sell organs one by one. Just think of it as that.’
‘Just take one kidney!’
‘There aren’t many organ dealers in the country these days. We’re exporting to Russia.’
The snickering voices of the loan sharks still seemed to echo in her ears.
Those massive bear-like men had seized her, and before she knew it, she was on this small cargo ship.
Disguised as a container.
Still, she had a sliver of hope.
‘Surely they’ll let me live after taking just one kidney.’
Well, her body might be damaged, but at least she’d be alive.
Please!
But then some Awakened bastard caused a commotion, and the Russians tried to open the door.
‘Hey, but be careful. Those guys don’t seem to only deal with living people. I don’t know what they do with corpses, but…’
It was when the woman panicked, recalling the loan shark’s unsolicited advice.
The grandmother, the young boy, the foreign man, and the blonde woman all drew their guns simultaneously.
“…?”
Where on earth did they pull those guns from?!
“Um, excuse me. Everyone should stay back there, in the back, please?”
And despite her foreign appearance, the blonde woman spoke in fluent Korean.
“Hey, would you just sit quietly in the back if you were me? You’d take out every bastard trying to jump out from behind.”
The grandmother spoke in a sharp, crisp voice.
Her face looked somewhat weary.
‘Take out…?’
At those chilling words, the blonde woman laughed and turned her gun toward the trembling people.
“Then I’ll proceed with this, if you’ll excuse me….”
Proceed with what?! What?!
That’s when it happened.
A sound came from near the container door.
At the same time, the young boy looked upward and spoke.
“Five total. Three are armed, two unknown. Gun holders: two on the left, one on the right.”
“Okay. Gu-do handles the rear.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The foreign man—no, Byeon Gu-do disguised as a foreigner—nodded.
The grandmother—no, Pee So-won disguised as a grandmother—took her shooting stance.
The young boy—no, Ma Deok-ho disguised as a young boy—also took his stance, gripping an oversized gun that didn’t fit his frame.
And the moment the door opened.
Bang!
Pee So-won instantly shot the man waiting at the entrance in the shoulder.
The man reflexively pulled the trigger, and his rifle’s bullet shot upward.
When one of the hostages tried to bolt, the blonde woman—no, Lee Yu-ji disguised as a foreign woman—struck him down with a front kick.
“It’s dangerous!”
You’re the one who’s dangerous!
Just as I wanted to shout that.
Bang!
The second one collapsed with his fist clenched while preparing to fire, and Ma Deok-ho handled the last one.
Bang!
The Russian clutched his leg and cursed in an incomprehensible language.
And Byeon Gu-do, who had already caught up with the two in the rear using his skill and arrested them, shook his head at Ma Deok-ho and spoke.
“Look at that sloppy handling. Our Team Leader Pee only shoots exactly where needed. If we bring them in alive, there won’t be any annoying paperwork, right? Huh?”
And soon, the owner of this cargo ship who heard the gunshots.
To be precise, the apartment owner caught in the East Sea stood before the four people with a bewildered expression.
“I told you no bullet holes in my ship!”
“Shut up, you bastard. A criminal like you shouldn’t talk so much.”
Pee So-won said this and handcuffed the criminals she had taken down.
That was the situation.
‘We’re conducting an undercover investigation again, and again, and again!’
Lee Yu-ji furrowed her brow in thought.
She was inextricably tangled up with this cursed Team 5, she mused.
“Lee Yu-ji, aren’t you going to put on the handcuffs? You’re really just running circles around your superiors.”
And with that psychopath too!
“I’m going, I’m going right now!”
But there was no way around it.
‘Fabergé’.
The moment she saw that name, Lee Yu-ji had no choice but to get involved in this operation.
