The Foreigner on the Periphery

Minjun said it simply, but when he actually started, Ha Eun-seong realized that it was not usually difficult. This was because whenever Jenkinson and the secretary had serious discussions about something, the dialogue increased and the amount of filming was lengthened.  

Moreover, Minjun, who guided the acting, was a very strict director. “Hey! You talk too cheap. again!”  

"No, we take a tempo break there. watch this video here This is Chairman Kim Kwang-woo's usual tone."  

"Don't rub your palms. You look nervous. Stop rolling your eyes."  

"Hey, don't shake your legs!"  

"Straighten your shoulders! Manage your facial expressions. No, don’t laugh. Why are you laughing? Are you taking pictures?"  

Filming ended after a longer time than expected. "Wednesday… well done."  

It was the first time he had possessed someone’s body for this long, and it was his first time acting like this.

Feeling mentally exhausted, Ha Eun-seong sighed. However, his body was very good. ‘Then why are you so lighthearted? No matter how good a psychic medium is, this should be enough for a rejection reaction, right?’  

There was no sign of Kim Kwang-woo’s body pushing out a heterogeneous soul, and there was no need to force himself to endure it. He could feel how well his body was adjusting to his menstruation.  

"Wait a minute, go to the bathroom…" Minjun said, pointing in the direction as if it were his own house. "It's over there. Change your clothes while you’re gone. What Kim Kwang-woo wore when he came here."  

They said they would make this video look like it was filmed a few months ago. Ha Eun-seong took his clothes and went to the bathroom as he instructed. In addition to this, he admired it.  

“Wow!” Living or dying, this was the first time he had ever been to a place like this. It was a bathroom with all glass walls. It was a structure close to an observatory overlooking the downtown Seoul skyline. ‘If you think of an old house, this is a palace.'

Ha Eun-seong became a little gloomy as he remembered the stinky public bathroom used by five generations. There are people in the world who live like this.  

“OMG!”  

Standing in front of the toilet, the glass window was located right in front of the structure, and the dazzling night view of Seoul unfolded. Ha Eun-seong, who was exclaiming, looked down at the place where his eyes had no choice but to go and admired it for another reason.  

‘Wow… Orcs are real… Wow… As expected, Orc…’  

When he returned to the office with admiration, Minjun and others had finished their preparations.  

"You know what's next?"  

Ha Eun-seong nodded, slightly nervously. “Yes.”  

While going down to the parking lot, the CCTV faithfully recorded the movement of Kim Kwang-woo (Ha Eun-seong). The attendants had already been suppressed. The scene where he left the Jenkinson headquarters in the same vehicle as when the chairman came was also filmed.  

If one wanted to keep this meeting secret, they could have stopped recording or deleted the video, but Dragon didn’t. A few decades after Ha Eun-seong’s black sedan left the building, the Korean media all started making breaking news.

It was news that a cargo truck and a luxury sedan collided and exploded in the middle of Seoul.  

***  

– Cargo truck collided at the intersection of Mullae District 2 in Seoul…  

All four occupants were killed. It was late, so the road was quiet and there were no fatalities other than the two occupants of the car. What the police noticed was that the explosion was too large. Investigation revealed that the truck had been loaded with explosives. obvious terrorism. The body was horribly mutilated, but the identity of the occupant was eventually revealed.  

DNA of a businessman, known as the richest Orc in Korea, was detected in the sedan, and as a result of CCTV inspection, it was confirmed that he was in the car. All that was left was the truck driver, an ordinary Orc not registered on the police criminal list. On the surface, that was.  

The gang questioned themselves, and it didn’t take long to find out that he belonged to the Red Star. However, there were some things that he didn’t know until the end. The Orc driving the truck was already dead and was holding the steering wheel. The fact that he had already been murdered by Minjun at ‘School’ and that he was being treated as an undead with a relatively intact body was beyond the realm of the police and the gang could find out. "Red Star?"  

When Kim Kwang-woo’s death became a fact, his real power passed to his children. The gang’s head was vainly attacked and killed. If not properly revenge, the discipline and fundamentals of the organization may be shaken.  

"But, why are the Red Star cubs all of a sudden? We were in a truce!"  

Some who had gathered for the countermeasure meeting were confused by the identity of the criminal. He did just that. Not everyone in this place knew about Kim Kwang-woo’s recent past. His eldest son then spoke with a growl. "You no longer need to join hands with us!"  

“Yes?”  

The eldest son explained what only a few knew. On the day of the accident, Kim Kwang-woo went to see the Elder Dragon. The faces of the Orcs, who now knew that the reason was the cheating of a rival dragon, turned blue.  

"My father was sure that Jenkinson would return him safely. He is a wise man. That prediction came true."  

The scene where Kim Kwang-woo walked down to the underground parking lot of Goryeong’s company and got into the car was clearly recorded on CCTV.  

"The Red Stars would have expected my father to go missing or killed there. But just in case it doesn’t happen.”  

Now that the report was complete, Changcheon, which threatened the slum business, would soon be removed. The disappearance of ecosystem disturbance species. If so, would the two organizations that had been based here from the beginning continue to maintain peace?

The other party seemed to have decided that it was not necessary. "From the beginning, I didn't think it would be a long-term partner, but it's going to come out so blatantly."  

He ground his teeth. "Anyway, in the eyes of those communist bastards, we are also a capitalist group to be eradicated. But… you touched the wrong person."  

There was only one way to repay this disgrace. to bring back the wounds they inflicted. The war had already begun.  

***  

The Orc gang’s counterattack proceeded in harmony. Those who knew best the power and arrangement of those who hid in the gutter were those who lived together in the gutter as well. Red Star, of course, insisted it wasn’t their fault, but it didn’t work. The most perfect future they envisioned was that Chairman Kim Kwang-woo was killed by a dragon, and the gang fell into chaos without revenge.  

However, things didn’t go as planned, and as the gang took on damage, they eventually changed their plans. When this happened, he decided that it would be better to completely devour the gang’s sphere of influence and take control of the slums.  

Because Changcheon would soon disappear, and they were the only rivals left. It was as if he had already been caught up in an irreversible torrent. The time for either side to reach out to reconciliation had passed.

The only way to end the war was for one side to be completely defeated and disappear.  

Doo Doo! Bang! Bang! A heavy roar echoed across the street. The rotten smell that filled the alley was buried in the smell of gunpowder. The sound of heavy weapons and magic smashing the building hit his ears.  

The sound of cluttered footsteps fills the gap. scream. Due to sporadic skirmishes, civilians no longer roamed within the Orc community. At this point, the only people going out were members of the organization.  

A gunfight was going on between them. "Damn, shoot! Shoot!"  

This battle also began when the Orc gangs raided the Red Star’s lair. Behind those who built the defense line and responded, a half-collapsed building was barely standing. All the windows called windows had already been smashed, and there was a big hole in the middle, and the fire was spreading everywhere around that place. Traces of rocket baptism.  

It was indiscriminate firing that waited for the Red Star to escape. Doo doo doo doo!  

Fireworks erupted from the gun barrel. A roar like an eardrum about to explode. Bullets poured down like torrential rain, making holes in the walls and floors. The barricades were neither strong enough to block them all, nor were they full.

Phish! A gang bullet went through the head of the Red Star wizard, breathing fire from behind. A wolf beast jumped over the corpse whose jaw had been blown away.  

ㄏ Woo woo woo woo! It used thick leather that blocks bullets as a shield and rushed to the enemy. Werewolves tore and shred every Orc in their hands. Flesh and blood were splattered wildly.  

“Ahh!”  

"Stop it! He’s talented! Support for talented people here!"  

The moment the wolf bit another Orc gang by the neck, a blue sword was lodged in his back. Kwajik!  

The Orc’s body, holding the sword, was full of tattoos indicating that he was a member of the gang. He pulled out a weapon with a shivering sword. The moment he swung his blade and wiped the blood in the air, the wolf was already down. The prosecutor spits on the corpse.  

"Damn it, you bastard bastards!"  

The wolf whose heart was pierced returned to its original form when the state of hydration was released. His identity was also an Orc. Orcs took the majority in the Red Star, gang, or power. Thanks to this, at first glance, this war seemed like an infighting among the Orcs.  

"Kill! Kill them all!"  

It wasn’t easy to figure out how the alternate situation was going and who was winning. There was no large media outlet to infiltrate and cover, and the government responded very passively. The police focused on protecting the public and preventing and expelling the two organizations from fighting in the residential area.  

There had been no direct police attacks on Red Stars or gangs. The intent seemed clear. Meanwhile, police were also unusually instructed to evacuate the homeless to temporary shelters, which ended up not being necessary. This was because the welfare foundation under Changcheon accepted them all into the medical center.  

Existing facilities were not enough, so they rented out buildings outside the Oak Community to accommodate them. Even the poor, who hesitated because they did not believe in dragons, had no choice but to accept the offer this time.  

This was because, even if he stayed like this, he would get caught up in a fight and die screaming. Meanwhile, Ha Eun-seong visited her undercover office on the date requested by Ji Seon-kyung, but she was not there, and only a single encrypted note was left. It was about meeting someone at a different time and a different place, saying something urgent happened.  

= Maybe you noticed? =  

Minjun shook his head and spoke to Ha Eun-seong, who seemed anxious. "No, the gang must have set up a new hideout. The Red Star side must have been too excited, so I will have no choice but to show up to meet you."  

The Changcheon Foundation continued its work to relieve the poor. Contrary to expectations, Jenkinson showed no sign of disposing of Changcheon. "It's going to be a shit line by now."  

This was because their plan worked under the assumption that Changcheon had disappeared. “I can’t give up the means to spy on what’s going on among the old dragons.”  

It was as he had predicted. Ji Seon-kyung appeared in front of Ha Eun-seong, who went to the place left in the memo.  

***  

"The next target is Jenkinson." When Ji Seon-kyung, who had met again, said so, Ha Eun-seong tried to play an embarrassed expression.  

‘Isn't that what the agent said?'  

With a spirit body that had already escaped from Chairman Kim Kwang-woo's body, he blew his mind.  

= You want to infiltrate the Old Dragon Rare again?! = She spoke in a tone that showed her tiredness and stress.

"No, it would be better not to be limited to rare. Follow the old dragon closely. Who you meet and what you talk about . . . you remember everything and report it to me."  

Talking openly instructing. Ha Eun-seong shouted like it was nonsense.  

= It’s dangerous! The missing ghost also disappeared the day I met the old dragon!=  

Actually, he had chosen to act like this even though he knew that such a ghost did not exist.  

=I said that if it was an old dragon, there would be at least one body-sensitive bodyguard to follow! After all, follow the Elder Dragon.=  

Then Seon-kyung Ji threw a cold gaze. "So, you mean you can't?"  

= · · · · · · · ·==

Ji Seon-kyung knew that the current situation was not serious. Changcheon was still alive. At this rate, they could not get anything they were aiming for, and only waged a war of attrition with the gang, which could lead to a reduction in power. It was she who came up with this plan and put it into practice. Therefore, of course, it was Ji Seon-kyung who should be held responsible for the results.  

She had to know what the hell she was dreaming of that red dragon all the time. When Changcheon was going to deal with it… No, she had been given an upper-level order to find out if she had any plans to deal with it.

= No, but this is a little bit.=  

As Ha Eun-seong continued to squirm and smirk, Ji Seon-kyung said this. "It seemed like he really cared for his brothers, didn't he?"  

At that moment, Ha Eun-seong contorted her face in anger. This time she wasn’t acting.  

"Right now, we are monitoring from the outside here."  

=?! =

"Even if I show a slight strange glimmer, a signal will be sent to her colleagues automatically, and Ha Eun-seong's younger brothers will have to see the rough. Did you understand?"  

=You!=  

"So, please give up the thought of forcibly possessing me."  

Ji Seon-kyung was also a spiritually sensitive person, and she knew very well what Ha Eun-seong could do if she put her mind to it. She said, "There is no way my co-workers looking out over the camera will not notice the possession. The moment you made such an attempt, your brothers and sisters…"  

Ji Seon-kyung stopped her speech. This was because she could hear roars and screams from downstairs. Her face turned gray in an instant.  

"No way?!” Ha Eun-seong knew that the moment she had been waiting for had come. Minjun started escorting Ji Seon-kyung on the first floor.  

“This!” She threw a venomous look in her eyes as if she had noticed something.  

"You, maybe?!" Ha Eun-seong thought that she had leaked information as she was a fan of this, she gritted her teeth and shouted, all with a teleport scroll in her one hand. "Do you think they'll be okay with this?!"  

Instead of explaining that Minjun's movement was a sign that her sisters had evacuated, Ha-eun-seong ran towards Ji Seon-kyung. It was the moment right before the scroll was torn when the spirit body had dug into the opponent’s body.  

"Ahhhhh!" Ji Seon-kyung desperately resisted. Her appearance was being broadcast on video, but there seemed to be no way to control it. Her comrades had already been subdued by agents sent by Jenkinson.  

“Get out! Get out of my body…!" Ha Eun-seong had a hard time because of a completely different reaction than when Kim Kwang-woo took her body.

= No, what kind of mental power …! =  

There were two reasons why it was difficult to intercept her initiative. First of all, Ji Seon-kyung was not an outstanding psychic like Kim Kwang-woo. As if she had oiled her spirit body, she grew up smoothly!  

Unlike then when she was absorbed, this body was very resistant. In addition, Seon-kyung’s will and mental power were excruciatingly strong as she knew what kind of life she had been leading until now.  

She was more than an Orc for all the years she had done dirty things! "Ugh…! This crazy ghost… get out! Get out!"  

Ji Seon-kyung resisted, scratching her body with her fingernails and rolling her around. Even though Ha Eun-seong, who was fighting for the lead, was already dead, she tasted her death.  

= Give up! Give up! =

He had to hold onto him so he couldn’t escape until Minjun came. Ha Eun-seong crushed her Ji Seon-kyung’s soul. She took the initiative in this body and she had to bring her own. This was so Minjun could interrogate this woman!  

= Ugh! =

  It felt like her mind was boiling as she was mobilizing all her spiritual power. Her resistance was so fierce. Her mental brawl went on for a long time. He muttered to himself over and over again. You have to hold on!  

"Go away!”

Ji Seon-kyung exclaimed as she spilled her blood from her mouth. Her body was trying to chase away Ha Eun-seong's spirit body, which was nothing more than a foreign object. Eventually, the spirit body that completely overlapped with her body began to separate again.  

Ji Seon-kyung then cried out, "Please… just, turn it off!"  

Ha Eun-seong desperately persevered. The ghost shouted along with the evil spirits that had used up all of their spiritual power.  

= You… get off!=  

"!"  

At that moment Ha Eun-seong saw it. A brilliant flash of light spread through his translucent spirit body. He has seen this light twice so far. Once inside the bank vault, once when the dragon ghost resonates with the imprisoned magic circle. And now, this was the third.  

A bright and beautiful brilliance spread around his soul.  

= No?!=  

There then came a moment of embarrassment.  

=!=  

Ha Eun-seong heard an eerie scream. It was not a sound that resonated through Ji Seon-kyung’s vocal cords. He was a mental scream uttered by something other than himself. And then.  

Mugwort! He felt something slipping out of the stagnant chaos. Although he could not understand the English, Ha Eun-seong sensed that the pressure that had weighed on the spirit body was weakening. It was a cool sense of openness that immediately swept his mind. The stress that had hitherto been pounding and fighting with two souls in a narrow body suddenly disappeared.  

A plateau at the end of a steep climb, a refreshing feeling facing the cool wind that gently surrounds it. Ha Eun-seong gasped for breath in the comfort that was hard to compare.  

"Uh?”  

It was. Ha Eun-seong was breathing.  

"Stolen!" He exclaimed. his body moved. He had complete control over Ji Seon-kyung’s body. His hands were trembling with flesh on his fingernails because of the self-harm he had just done.  

Bang! The door then flew away, and Minjun entered at the right time. There was clear blood all over his body.

“Well?” Minjun immediately noticed the situation because of the fact that Ha Eun-seong’s spirit body was not visible and Ji Seon-kyung sitting in a strange posture without running away.  

"Okay, did you succeed in possessing?"  

Controlling Ji Seon-kyung’s body, the ghost slowly nodded his head.  

“Ah yes.”  

"Okay, wait while I tie you up. You can come out when you are completely suppressed. I will do the interrogation."  

That was their plan. However.  

"Ah, me…"  

“What?” Minjun looked without tying Ji Seon-kyung’s wrist.  

"Maybe you don't have to tie it up."  

"What? Would you like to interrogate the souls within it? If you ask her, will she give you an honest answer?"  

Possession then referred to the state of having two souls in one body. Even when Ha Eun-seong ruled over Kim Kwang-woo, the Orc's soul did not go anywhere and remained in its body. The problem was that, in this state, the body instinctively resisted the intruder, just like the body’s immune system.  

This was why the state of possession did not last long. It was only a matter of time, and in the end, one would have no choice but to return the body to its owner. originally it was  

"There, it's me."  

The ghost borrowed a woman’s voice and spoke. "What?”  

Ha Eun-seong witnessed an unexpected phenomenon. It was a scene where Ji Seon-kyung’s soul was thrown out of his body at the moment when a brilliant light blew from his soul. It should have been the other way around. conceptually absurd.  

Looking around, there were no ghosts or other ghosts around. Ji Seon-kyung’s soul evaporated as soon as it was thrown out. It was thought that most of those who died had disappeared into the spirit realm.  

He would probably never return to the material world again. This phenomenon could be expressed in simple sentences as follows: "Agent, over there. I guess I just sanctified this woman’s soul…?”
