A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 093
I wandered between the containers and leaned my body against a nearby tree.
That’s when Kang Si-bang spoke to me.
[Don’t break the branches.]
“Why?”
[That’s the Big Brother.]
Big Brother… you mean…?
I gazed at the trees with a peculiar feeling.
Could he be talking about that Sacred Tree?
All of this is that one tree?
Is it possible for that tree to exist both above and below like this?
[They’re the Big Brother’s descendants, but they’re all connected anyway. You dare to spill the Big Brother’s blood? You punk!]
…Yes, my apologies.
I quickly pulled my body away from the tree.
In the meantime, I spotted a container with few people around it.
When I gestured with my chin, Kang Si-bang squeezed his body through the crude doorway of the container and slipped inside.
The voice of the disappeared Kang Si-bang reached my ears.
[No one’s here!]
Kang Si-bang soon opened the door from inside.
It seemed he’d used his sticky properties—I could see his body stretched out lengthwise.
I ducked under Kang Si-bang’s elongated form and passed through, surveying the interior of the container.
Inside the dark container, I could see unknown boxes and what appeared to be auxiliary materials.
I examined the boxes with a lantern I’d prepared in advance.
20XX. XX. XX. Vladivostok. (Slime Concentrate)
[Damn it!]
Kang Si-bang seemed to be crying as he clutched the box.
I say “seemed to be” because instead of tears, slime juice dripped from Kang Si-bang’s eyes, and the viscosity was so high that even when it touched the ground, it didn’t fall from his eyes.
“Si, Si-bang…”
While I patted Si-bang, I used my capitalist—no, bureaucratic—upper body to survey the surrounding boxes.
Most of the boxes had their contents listed along with detailed dates of arrival or departure.
20XX. XX. XX Tianjin (Lamia Leather)
20XX. XX. XX Nampo (Succubus)
(Handle with Care)
Particularly, the boxes containing items marked “handle with care” emitted a slight vibration.
As if there was something actually alive inside.
The price of just one box would likely be tens of millions of won in Korean currency, and the number of boxes filling this container was at least 100.
And I had no idea exactly how many containers like this existed in this cave.
Even accounting for raw material costs and shipping fees, not everything could be liquidated—
‘This doesn’t seem to be just hundreds of billions of won.’
If what’s in these containers isn’t everything, then accumulated it would be in the hundreds of billions of won range.
If I just count the tax money alone, we’re already talking hundreds of billions of won—
“Have you lost your mind?”
I muttered without thinking and closed my mouth.
A shadow flickered outside the door, and then I heard voices.
“We can move all of this today, right?”
“Damn it. What choice do we have if we don’t? The higher-ups are ordering us to.”
Two people.
I roughly calculated the number based on the differences in footsteps and voices I could hear.
“Is this… are we shutting down the business?”
“Maybe?”
“Hey, I brought a Subspace item. Want to grab a few?”
“Hell yeah. Sounds good.”
Anyway, bad guys always stab each other in the back.
Thinking that, I shook my head in the darkness.
At that moment, the door creaked open.
I turned off the lantern and hid in the deepest shadows with Kang Si-bang.
Soon, Kang Si-bang made his body semi-transparent like camouflage.
‘So this is the Great King Slime…’
Quite an impressive form.
I might actually be with someone unexpectedly strong.
Soon, two men who looked like ordinary trading company employees entered and examined the boxes.
Then they selected several boxes and placed them into a Subspace item.
During this, a walkie-talkie at the waist of the Gray Shirt Man crackled to life.
“Ah, you startled me!”
“Damn, that scared me. What is it?”
“What do you think? It’s the Team Leader.”
The Team Leader?
I tried to remember every piece of information I heard.
“Yes, Team Leader. Yes, yes. We’ve collected all the ledgers. We’re having the guys move the goods.”
The Gray Shirt Man flashed a secretive smile at his colleague beside him and tapped the box.
The box, which seemed to contain a succubus, responded with slight vibrations as he tapped it.
As the Gray Shirt Man turned around with a casual attitude, I could see a file folder in his left hand.
‘That’s the ledger.’
If I just grab that one thing, I can uncover the thread connecting this entire smuggling operation.
‘I can’t photograph and move everything here.’
What I need is concrete evidence.
With that thought, I moved into action.
As I looked at Kang Si-bang, he tilted his head in confusion.
I mouthed the words to him.
‘Close the door.’
…?
Kang Si-bang tilted his head in confusion.
Right, I’m invisible right now.
I realized that and quickly adjusted my approach.
I brought my hand to Kang Si-bang’s soft body.
The response came immediately.
[What are you doing! X Room!]
Just stay still for a moment.
With that thought, I began writing letters on Kang Si-bang’s body.
‘Go close the door. As quietly as possible.’
[Why?]
‘Just do as I say.’
[Seriously…]
Kang Si-bang grumbled but dutifully pressed himself flat against the wall and moved toward the door.
Without drawing attention from the two men.
And the moment Kang Si-bang’s hand reached the doorknob.
I didn’t care about making noise—I immediately toppled the box that Gray Shirt was leaning against.
“…What the—!”
The boxes tumbled down all at once, and Gray Shirt fell forward.
The ledger in Gray Shirt’s hand and the walkie-talkie scattered across the floor.
“Damn it, what are you doing? Keep it down…”
The man in the black jacket beside him showed no intention of helping his colleague up, only concerned with the noise.
But in that moment, both men fell silent.
Both their pupils were instantly drawn to a single point.
Toward the mist that had burst from the box I’d just knocked over.

* * *
“Hello, mister.”
“Hello… hehe…”
Gray Shirt was staring at a half-naked woman right now.
For reference, that woman possessed an exceptionally voluptuous figure.
And Black Jacket was currently—
“Oh my! Aren’t you L, sir? I’ve seen all the photos you took!”
…witnessing an illusion of a famous idol.
And Lee Yu-ji quietly observed the scene.
Two men grinning widely and drooling.
And subsequently, witnessing them say such strange things.
“I’m a fan, and you’re an idol! If we do this… it’s okay!”
“In such a public place… thank you.”
[Damn it.]
I really wanted to vomit.
I could hear Kang Si-bang’s curses in my ear, but I didn’t pay attention to such things.
Fortunately, Kang Il-yeon had prepared a universal sealing knife beforehand to ensure the succubus’s box opened smoothly.
Besides, even if the succubus escaped, she was the type to have her aggro drawn more by sight than by sound.
So I had prepared it in advance with the calculation that she wouldn’t draw aggro toward my transparent form.
Lee Yu-ji gathered the scattered walkie-talkie and ledger from the floor.
And I spoke toward Kang Si-bang, who was locking the door.
“Let’s go now.”
[Okay.]
Kang Si-bang unlocked the lock on the door.
However, before the words even finished, a sound came from the walkie-talkie.
[Container 3, everything normal? Why no response? Anyway, we’re transferring it.]
Container 3?
Isn’t this the one…?
What does transferring mean…?
Along with those words, my body soon began to move.
No.
It wasn’t my body moving—it was the ground beneath my feet.
The floor tilted, and I felt gravity’s resistance diminish strangely.
A sensation like my heart was dropping downward.
Which meant—
[Damn it, we’re going up!]
The entire container was being moved.
Lee Yu-ji reached toward Kang Si-bang as the tilting container shifted.
More precisely, I handed the ledger to Kang Si-bang and said.
“Eat this!”
As Lee Yu-ji spoke, Kang Si-bang swallowed both her hand and the ledger simultaneously.
A sharp tingling sensation shot up from my fingertips.
Neurotoxin.
Damn it.
This was the kind that knocks you out on contact!
The moment Lee Yu-ji realized this and understood she would lose consciousness, she acted.
‘Your body is my body, my body is my body!’
There was no other way.
And when I opened my eyes—
I was no longer inside the container, but something outside of it.
Along with an inexplicably calming sensation, I heard someone’s voice.
[These foolish humans are up to their strange antics again.]
And she answered to those voices.
[Indeed.]
…?
‘Why does my voice sound so wise?’
