A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 243

* * *
The moment the main gate was breached, the Hunter Investigation Bureau swept through the interior of the sanctuary with remarkable speed.
The primary architect of breaking through the main gate was a Recker with the account name “Martyr.”
-Is he a warrior sent down to save the Republic of Korea from the Hunter Cult?
└Do you really think Baek Hee-ryeong is right to oppress Hunters like this?
└Oh look, another devout Hunter Cult believer here lol. Seriously lol
-Wow, but Kwon Ik-seong suppressing Martyr right away was so cool.
Look at him fighting with bare hands even while getting hit by an A-rank iron mace ㅠㅠㅠ His respect for the rules is amazing..
They said it wasn’t grade A, it was grade C.
└Sir, move along. Please read the context
Because he destroyed police cars and caused chaos, the other protesters transformed from demonstrators into rioters, and the Reckers present split almost exactly in half.
One side threw caution to the wind and joined in the rioting.
The other side quietly slipped away and disappeared.
Both groups ended up helping the police and the Hunter Investigation Bureau greatly.
The police could now arrest civilians without hesitation, and the Hunter Investigation Bureau used that gap to penetrate into the sanctuary.
And in that moment… Lee Yu-ji awoke.
“…Sob… Manager Kwon, I’m so sorry…”
Those were her first words.
Because her last memory was her hammer flying directly toward Kwon Ik-seong’s torso.
At first, it was simply an accident.
Her hammer, which had been flying toward the police car, struck Kwon Ik-seong’s side directly.
‘Oh, that must hurt.’
While she hesitated, Kwon Ik-seong seized the moment and grabbed her hammer barehanded.
I had momentarily forgotten.
That Kwon Ik-seong was A-rank!
Lee Yu-ji had braced herself to be beaten by Kwon Ik-seong, but surprisingly, he didn’t subdue her violently.
He simply wrapped the hammer around her and pulled her close, then said this:
‘How many minutes are left?’
…Quite the perceptive AI, aren’t you.
And Lee Yu-ji answered promptly.
‘Two minutes.’
‘Then let’s hit one more time.’
Who? Me hitting you?
Lee Yu-ji was flustered, but Kwon Ik-seong didn’t seem bothered and released the hammer from his hand.
In that instant, the hammer swung back in the opposite direction and struck Kwon Ik-seong’s other side directly.
Ham I-na, watching from behind, shouted:
‘Manager!’
‘I’m fine, so go in first. I’ll catch up shortly.’
The moment Lee Yu-ji heard those words, she understood.
That’s right.
In this current situation, she had become a wrecker inciting a riot, helping the Hunters Bureau breach the sanctuary.
Which meant that recklessly attacking Kwon Ik-seong would actually aid the current operation.
But…
‘Sob, how could I…’
There simply wasn’t time for such thoughts.
‘Hyah! Die! You demon bastards of the Hunters Bureau! Kiyah!’
And the bizarre desire for attention churning within her drove her forward.
She even filmed herself attacking Kwon Ik-seong with a small camera.
‘Do you see! This is the spirit of martyrdom! The martyr spirit!’
Thus her last memory was landing a proper strike with her crowbar directly against Kwon Ik-seong’s chest.
Ha ha…
But when she regained consciousness, what unfolded before her eyes was the figure of a martyr subdued in an instant.
“…?”
How did that happen so fast?
Though she could roughly guess what occurred.
With Kwon Ik-seong’s reflexes, subduing a low-rank Hunter like that in 0.1 seconds would be child’s play.
“Hey. What are you doing. Let’s go.”
Pee So-won spoke after confirming that Lee Yu-ji had regained consciousness.
When Pee So-won devised this operation, she hadn’t been without concern for Lee Yu-ji.
A possession skill, of all things.
Honestly, even looking at it again, it’s a strange ability.
I don’t even know exactly what its dangers are.
But one thing is certain.
‘Lee Yu-ji will definitely resolve this.’
Because her partner is that kind of person.
And Lee Yu-ji truly did resolve it.
Like a Dark Knight.
Though admittedly, she was a bit clumsy for a Dark Knight.
“Ugh! Be careful! It’s breaking!”
She casually destroyed the wrecker car with a side kick while shouting like that.
She jumped using boosters attached to her sneakers while standing on that wrecker car, crying out such things.
“Farewell, everyone! I am the one who protects all of this world…!”
“What are you saying?”
“…No, I just wanted to try it.”
Anyway, a strange one.
Pee So-won thought this as she entered the sanctuary.
Naturally, danger lurked within the sanctuary as well.
Behind the golden statue treated as the most “sacred” place in the sanctuary was where the vehicles Ma Deok-ho had mentioned were lined up densely.
To retrieve the data inside, I’d have to break through that barrier, but if they use special magic stones or dangerous weapons of that caliber before I do—
“…Please go ahead, Deputy Director.”
…Such calculations had already been perfectly arranged and shattered by Ma Deok-ho, Ham I-na, and Kwon Ik-seong, who had lined up the destroyed vehicles in a row.
Pee So-won furrowed her brow as she observed those men.
No explanation was necessary.
Around Ma Deok-ho gathered all manner of cats living near this sanctuary, while Ham I-na smiled brightly as she kept what appeared to be security guards well-restrained nearby.
Of course, Byeon Gu-do had been properly scratched by that single remark.
“Did you fasten the handcuffs properly this time?”
“….”
Byeon Gu-do closed his mouth upon seeing the tension building in Ham I-na’s iron-like forearms.
Still, the bastard had some sense.
Park Min-bae emerged from the vehicle parked at the edge and spoke.
Holding a laptop and a dashcam.
“That over there, it looks like an underground bunker?”
The location Park Min-bae pointed to while watching the dashcam screen was a golden statue.
“An underground bunker?”
“Yes.”
As Park Min-bae turned the screen, it showed several priests and Sa Gong-seong quickly disappearing behind the golden statue.
Seeing that, Pee So-won muttered.
“These rat bastards….”
Those who heard the Deputy Director’s words began gathering their equipment.
Unaware that all of this was being livestreamed through a camera that Lee Yu-ji had seized from a YouTube tow truck channel after destroying a tow truck, which she’d placed in the front pocket of her tactical vest.
Is this the Hunter Church Recca channel? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I came to see because I heard this house caught fire.
-Yo, did you see those Hunter Cult bastards agitating? Did their eyes roll back?
Hahaha, did Sagongseong and the priests hide under that statue? That’s so pathetic ㅠㅠ
-It’s the Taekwondo Girl! I love Taekwondo Girl L!
-That woman is that woman, that bitch
-No, she’s the Macchiato Girl
-How many nicknames does Lee Yu-ji even have.
-One name, five hundred nicknames.
-The Captain of Hunters Bureau has charisma
-She’s the Deputy Director of the Hunters Bureau though?
Hahaha, is this the Hunter Church channel or the Hunter Country channel?
And with the livestreamed raid on the Hunter Cult sanctuary, the Hunter Cult channels descended into complete chaos.

* * *
Sa Gong-seong was arrested in an emergency by the Hunters Bureau while facing an intense media barrage.
It seemed he had intended to make a solemn statement on his own—
Ah, wait a moment. Please don’t touch that. I developed tennis elbow from playing tennis, you see?
…With the arrest being broadcast live, solemnity went straight out the window.
Sa Gong-seong became the object of ridicule for everyone.
Haha, I got tennis elbow from playing tennis, you know?
-Ah, I developed a headache from believing in the Hunter Cult, you see?
-Ah, I developed a resignation from working at the company, you see?
Having left behind a catchphrase, he silently entered the Hunters Bureau without even a photo opportunity, his face and hands covered as he avoided the cameras of reporters stationed in front of the building.
Among the materials discovered in the sanctuary were ledgers of the Water of Salvation that the Hunter Cult had been selling, lobbying records, and so forth—all laid bare.
‘They kept their accounting remarkably meticulous.’
However, Seol Ok-gyun was not found inside the sanctuary.
Based on what the priests said, his location appeared to be either China or Southeast Asia.
It meant that international cooperation would be necessary.
Still, now that Sa Gong-seong and the priests’ use of cyber terrorism to threaten public authority and their multi-level scheme to infringe upon many people’s property rights had been exposed, the situation was flowing in our favor.
However, I—
“Your name.”
“Lee Seon… is my name.”
I was now facing my greatest adversity.
Seon-i had been indicted as one of the rioters in the protest.
