Possessed in a Thousand Novels - Possessed in a Thousand Novels chapter 45

7. Two Possessors (9)

“… “He’s a possessor.”

Siwoo answered and swallowed dry saliva.

It was not a situation that had not been assumed at all. In other worlds, there were several Siwoos who were discovered to be possessed, and they even participated in a group study on how to respond to it.

However, when I actually faced the situation, my body did not react properly.

“Okay. Well, you know better what it means, right?”

Cheolsu grinned. The confidence in his question was already beyond the level of fact-checking.

A question that tests Si-woo’s response, already certain that it is true.

In front of that question, Siwoo desperately recalled the conversations they had in the chat room.

A common pattern of being discovered possessed in modern society. Second.

Detected through information collection by intelligence agencies.

“… “Isn’t surveillance of civilians illegal?”

“This country is not a country that doesn’t really say it’s illegal. “Each administration just changes its methods slightly.”

Cheolsu’s refreshing answer was mixed with the resignation of someone who had looked directly into the bottom of the country.

“Well, our country doesn’t openly build the Geumsun Project like China or run the Prism Project like the United States. Without even planting unnecessary backdoors in electronic devices. So, don’t think that our country’s National Intelligence Service is too bad.”

“Well. “I really can’t believe it.”

“No, you can trust me. “Our country doesn’t have the budget for that.”

“Ah.”

“Why would the National Intelligence Service ask KakaoTalk to submit information? That’s because I don’t have money. If I had money, I wouldn’t go through the trouble of doing something like that. But then they got caught, so these days, it seems like they’ve changed their direction to just legislate by attaching a plausible justification to the bill…”

Seeing Cheolsu’s comfortable appearance, Siwoo’s tension eased little by little.

Yes, if you think about it, there are several Siwoos who are possessed by espionage, so there is no need to be too scared just because the opponent is the National Intelligence Service.

He already knows that people in intelligence agencies are just ordinary civil servants who eat away at the government.

Siwoo, who had finally regained his composure, smiled and asked.

“But why on earth did I get caught?”

“First of all, special circle. “That was the biggest thing.”

“Ah… “It was strange because I couldn’t find any cases of this when I searched the Internet.”

Siwoo also found that part suspicious.

There is no mention of special circles in papers, news, or even trash articles on the Internet, but Cheolsu knew about special circles in detail and gave me various advice.

I had a suspicion that this might have gone beyond the level of mere erudition.

“It has to be that way. That’s originally used by intelligence agencies. “You have to go through a special procedure.”

“Okay. “So you were eavesdropping?”

“There are those, there are cases where the parents’ identities were missing, and there are cases where admission documents or scholarship application details were falsified. So I thought it was suspicious. And then I got caught.”

“… “Why are there so many?”

Siwoo was so preoccupied with being possessed that he didn’t think much about that part.

But if you think about it,There was one more student than there should have been, but that couldn’t have ended with just giving out student IDs and slightly changing the teachers’ memories.

“There are a lot. However, the documents were manipulated in such a strange way that even I couldn’t tell. If I didn’t know the budget execution process in detail, I would have missed it without knowing. Of course, I thought there were 21 people in class 1. Even though all other classes have 20 students.”

“It seems like those aspects are automatically corrected when you are possessed.”

“Because you didn’t possess the original person like Jo Yu-jin. “If I were possessed without these things, problems would have arisen a long time ago.”

“… Also. “You know that too.”

It may have been just speculation, but Siwoo chose to just admit it. It was a fact that would soon be revealed if investigated properly anyway.

On the other hand, there was also the idea of creating the impression of cooperation as much as possible. No matter how comfortable the other person seemed, he was ultimately an agent of the National Intelligence Service, so there was no benefit in going against him on trivial matters.

“Yeah, I thought that was it… Neither of you seemed worth using. “I don’t think I have any useful future knowledge.”

“I was an ordinary person even before I was possessed. “I also came from a world without magic.”

Siwoo answered with a bitter smile. This is because nothing is wrong when you look at the current situation. Even if it is a hidden piece, it is only meaningful at an individual level, and both Eugene and Si-woo were ordinary people before being possessed and did not have great abilities, so from the NIS’s perspective, they were just special civilians.

Of course, if we knew what knowledge was hidden in Si-woo’s chat room, that evaluation would have been completely overturned, but since Si-woo was too busy studying and did not practice any other abilities, the National Intelligence Service had no way of knowing.

“Yes. So originally, I was just going to designate it as a person of interest. By the way… “It was a bit strange.”

Cheolsu’s voice was still pretending to be friendly. The tone is light, as if talking about something insignificant, and indifferent, as if it doesn’t matter what answer you get.

However, Siwoo was confident that Cheolsu’s true intentions would never be like that.

“The games and novels you possessed… In something like this, there is a ‘main character’ after all. “The main character is usually a special person.”

Therefore, Siwoo tried to find out in advance what Cheolsu was going to ask. If you try to judge after receiving a question, it will be clearly read.

Numerous assumptions passed through Siwoo’s mind. Many choices were given, and many judgments were divided.

“And the fact that you possessed yourself as a student at Stella Academy means that there is one main character within the academy.”

It was not an easy decision. There were some cases where it was difficult to say that one side was right, and there were other decisions where the impact of that decision was too great.

But I had to judge easily.

Because he didn’t have time to think for a long time.

“By the way, there is one student that you both give special treatment to.”

Meanwhile, Cheolsu’s question was right around the corner.

At that point, Siwoo’s judgment was concluded.

“Elia. “What is that kid’s real identity?”

In front of sunglasses where you can’t see your eyes.

Siwoo quietly closed his eyes.

“Why doesn’t he look at KakaoTalk like this…”

Eugene holds the phone and spits.I rolled over on the platform.

At first, I thought about just deleting it. Because I moved my fingers so impulsively, I felt regret as soon as I sent the message.

But when I thought about it, deleting it was even weirder. Of course, you could just say, ‘I sent it by mistake,’ but Eugene didn’t like that.

To begin with, the other person already knew Eugene well. Judging by the way she showed me, it didn’t seem like she had been possessed by her for years like she had been, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t read her mind at all.

Eugene was so confused that she ended up passing the deadline for deletion.

Still, she was fine up to that point. She had the intention of sending a message anyway.

However, Siwoo did not check the message.

“You didn’t read it? There’s no way he can sleep at this hour. Ah, really, why do I have to be so anxious…”

Eugene buried her face in her pillow, holding her phone tightly with both hands. Even if she tried to do something else, she couldn’t concentrate at all and only thought about random things, so it was better for her to stay like this.

In the darkness her pillow presented, Eugene struggled to let go of her time. She looked at the numbers, thought about Elia, and even imagined what Siwoo would say.

Even though we spent a long time like that, the time that passed was not even 5 minutes.

Eugene became more and more exhausted as he waited again and again. By the time the 30 minutes passed, she thought she should have gone to sleep, but she felt it was a waste to wait until then, so she waited even longer.

After an infinitely long period of suffering for Eugene, a vibration was transmitted to her palm.

-Siwoo: Your future?

She finally got the message she had been waiting for from Si-woo, but Eugene didn’t read it right away. She was afraid that if she read it right away, she would find out that she had been waiting for her message all along.

Time to naturally check notifications on your phone while studying. About 5 seconds. Eugene let his finger wander on the screen for a moment, then clicked on the message and left a short reply.

-Eugene: Oh

– Siwoo: I know that, but… It won’t be a good future for you

-Eugene: It’s okay, just tell me.

-Siwoo: Um… Should I tell you this…

-Eugene: Say it quickly.

-Eujin: I have to go to sleep soon.

Despite Eugene’s repeated encouragement, Si-woo did not say the next word for a long time.

Then, Eugene’s heart became increasingly anxious. She wonders if the future is worse than she expected.

From the beginning, Siwoo’s attitude towards her was very hostile. Still, she is the main character of the novel.

If it had something to do with her actions in the future, it wasn’t that she didn’t understand Shiwoo’s attitude.

‘No, but I am the main character. ‘How many bad things can happen?’

No matter how difficult the main character goes through, doesn’t it end up being a happy ending in the end?

If not, it’s okay. Even if Elia doesn’t accept her heart… Maybe she could endure it enough.

There was a time when Elia could only be seen on her screen. Compared to that, anything can be bad. Elia said that since she is the next saint, it will be difficult to see her after she graduates, but she still visits once a month. No, if that doesn’t work, she can do it at least once a year. Even if it’s just a faceIf you can see it. If only we could confirm that Elia exists in this world, that she is alive and breathing in the same world as her.

That alone would have been a happy enough life for her.

‘If you think about it, doesn’t it mean that he actually doesn’t know me that well?’

As the thoughts reached that point, doubts arose in Eugene’s mind.

If you think about it, it was like that. In the first place, there wasn’t a bad ending she deserved. No matter what happens, it was obvious that my life would be better than before I was possessed.

She was already on a solid path to success at a prestigious academy called Stella Academy. That alone is on a whole different level from what she used to be.

But when I saw her hesitate like that, I thought she was doing it because she was overinterpreting something that didn’t matter to her.

-Eugene: Are you really not going to say anything?

Still, just in case, Eugene urged once more. Anyway, I’m curious.

She also thought that she had nothing to lose.

When Eugene asked that question, Si-woo answered, perhaps only then had her thoughts been organized.

-Siwoo: First of all, family issues. You expected this too, right?

-Eugene: Well, that’s right.

Of course, Eugene had expected that much. If the same situation repeats itself, it is natural that we will become distant from each other.

-Siwoo: Elia doesn’t accept your confession.

-Eugene: … I can bear that too

Siwoo’s words brought tears to my eyes for a moment, but Eugene pretended to be okay.

In the first place, that hasn’t happened yet. If she did better from now on, her results might have been different.

That’s why Eugene actually bluffed.

-Eugene: Is that all?

-Siwoo: And, this is the worst thing…

Eugene’s anxiety grew again at Siwoo’s words.

What on earth is it that makes it worse than that? Could it be that Possession is cancelled? Or does it mean that a natural disaster will occur?

And the moment I heard Siwoo’s next words.

Eugene’s mind went completely white.

-Siwoo: Elia will be ruined. Because of you.

Her last words, blaming her, stabbed her deeply into her lungs.
