Possessed in a Thousand Novels

4. Detective Intrusion (1)

-London Siwoo: What should he really do with the fishing village?

-London Siwoo: When you see a kid who was quite sane until the 6th time he tried to escape, do something like that.

-London Siu: You seem completely brainwashed now?

-Zombie Siu: But there’s nothing we can do.

-Zombie Siu: I’m busy surviving on my own right now.

-London Siwoo: That’s not the problem. If he takes a picture of Cthulhu or Dagon and posts it in the chat room, the entire chat room will be paralyzed. It’s just;;

-Urban Siwoo: No chat deletion or other features like that?

-London City: There is no chat deletion function here… The moment Cthulhu came out, you could say it was screwed.

-Experiment: But we haven’t yet confirmed whether Cthulhu can be affected just by looking at a chat room photo.

-Experiment Siwoo: Shouldn’t we experiment with that first?

-London Siwoo: How do you experiment with that? If it fails, everything is lost.

-Experiment: You can experiment with something similar.

-Experiment Siwoo: Something like a hypnosis app

-Hypnosis Siwoo: ㅇ?

-Experiment Siwoo: Hypnosis Siwoo, take a video of the hypnosis app screen and upload it. The owner of the app said that it does not cause hypnosis. It’s okay if you darken the beginning and end of the video and the thumbnail, so there’s no chance of someone scrolling through the chat room and seeing it.

-Hypnosis Siwoo: ㅇㅋ

-Hypnosis Siwoo: (Video)

-Hypnosis Siwoo: I sent it to you, but… Even if this doesn’t work, there’s no guarantee that Cthulhu won’t be effective.

-Experiment Siwoo: That’s natural. It’s just a minimal confirmation.

-Experiment: If hypnosis works, Cthulhu will work 100%, so you must thoroughly prepare for Cthulhu.

-Experiment: If hypnosis doesn’t work, we leave open the possibility that Cthulhu won’t work, but of course we have to prepare for Cthulhu.

-Experiment Si-woo: And since even Si-woo from another world is judged to be the ‘owner’ of the hypnosis app, we can also consider the possibility that it does not work.

-Hypnotized Siwoo: Oh… But then who participates in the experiment?

-Experiment Siwoo: There is one person here who has the effect of instantly recovering from all status ailments, right?

-Experiment: @ Tutoshiu

-Experiment Siwoo: Just before entering the waiting room, watch the hypnosis app video and report whether it works or not.

One peaceful, sunny morning.

At a general store on the outskirts of Ruzrina, the capital of the Luzan Kingdom, an old man with white hair handed a cane to a young man.

The old man was Hans, the owner of a general store, and the young man was Si-woo, who made a living by doing odd jobs and running errands for Hans.

“Siwoo. “The cane has come out, so bring it to old Jackson.”

“Yes. “You’re Jackson, who walks around with a cane every day, right?”

“Okay. “Please come back quickly.”

Siwoo followed the old man’s words and left the general store holding a cane.

Siwoo’s feet never stopped moving. Ruzrina was a city so sparsely developed that even people who had lived there their whole lives sometimes got lost, but he never got lost.

It was thanks to the map posted in the chat room.

‘Ruler, Here it is the third alley, and then turn left…’

Of course, it wasn’t a real map. Because it was impossible for a young man like Si-woo to obtain top-of-the-line items such as maps. Not only maps but also the parchment on which maps were to be drawn were high-end items used only by nobles, so it was impossible for ordinary people to make maps themselves.

However, it was possible to create a map using the chat room function.

This is because sending images or videos in a chat window is sending ‘thoughts’, not attaching actual data.

In other words, even if it does not exist in reality, you can upload a picture created in your imagination to a chat room.

Just like using a program like Paint or Photoshop.

Siwoo used this to film his route-finding process every day and watch it in a chat room to create a simple map. Siwoo, who became an explorer, corrected it to make it look better, and Siwoo himself has improved his sense of distance and tricks, and his accuracy has now improved to the point where he can compete with a real map.

This map was also the secret to Siwoo being able to find food and lodging at the general store for a long time.

Of course, that wasn’t the only secret.

“Summon a spirit, Sylph.”

Silver wind gathered above Siwoo’s hand and took the form of a girl as small as his finger. It was a spirit art learned from spirit Siu.

These spirits were of greater help in daily life than in battle. How helpful the undines and sylphs were, especially in the summer. In this place without air conditioning or fans, the cool water and cold wind were like a blessing from God.

Additionally, spirits contributed greatly to the creation of maps.

Sylph made his body transparent and walked around the streets following Siu’s gestures. As Siwoo headed to Jackson’s house, he shared the Sylph’s senses in real time and added the route to the map. It was a bonus to add a montage of the impressions of the people living in the house.

Through this, Siwoo was able to easily find the house without getting lost, even if it was his first time visiting it.

This was the reason why Siu, who had lived in the capital for less than a year, was able to faithfully carry out the role of his errand boy.

As she frantically drew up her map, she saw Jackson’s house right under her nose. Siwoo collected the sylph, reverse-summoned it, and knocked politely on the wooden door. Originally, it would have been a weak sound that could only be heard if you were close by, but thanks to Siwoo’s sound diffusion magic, the sound spread evenly throughout the house.

This was a consideration for Jackson, who is sensitive to sound.

“Jackson. “The cane you requested has arrived.”

Then, from afar, the sound of a cane being tapped on the floor was heard. The footsteps following the cane were deliberate and calm.

Soon, an old man with his eyes covered with a cloth opened the door. The gruff voice of the old man checking the product cracked.

“Is this wand light enough?”

“Yes. “I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”

“Okay. “When I tested the last one, I didn’t feel much of a difference in weight, but my arms hurt from carrying it around all day.”

Jackson received the cane from Siwoo, waved it a few times, and nodded his head. Siwoo also sighed in relief at the sign of satisfaction. This was because the cane that Jackson said was heavy was one that Siwoo personally sold.

Because Jackson had a lot of money, he was able to get away with it, but he still felt a sense of responsibility as a seller.

Siwoo received three copper coins from Jackson. ThatThe feeling of completing a responsibility was better than the money.

The way back was peaceful. Since the map of this area had just been created, Siwoo walked leisurely.

At that time, the chat room in the corner of my vision blinked. It means there is a call looking for him. Siwoo opened the chat window, hoping to find information about the development of his captivity.

That expectation was not betrayed.

-Akashiu: Yayyayayaya

-Akashiu: @ Forosio

-Akashiu: While watching the web novel, I remembered the story about life as a prisoner.

-Neupansiwoo: That crazy bastard got possessed while reading a web novel, and then he sits there reading a web novel again. f*ck.

-Akashiu: You are just like me, so what are you arguing about? If you were possessed by the Academy, you wouldn’t have been able to endure it either, right? To be honest, it’s because Pastor Siwoo is also a pastor, otherwise he would have been drinking by now.

-Pastor Siu: ? That’s a bit

-Shaolin Siwoo: ㄹㅇ I really want to eat meat

-Hwasan Siu: Isn’t it okay for Shaolin monks to eat meat?

-Shaolin Siu: So, this f*cking idiotic novel distorts historical facts.

-Shaolin Siu: I can’t even eat meat, but I have to train hard.

-Shaolin Siu: Does this make sense?

-Akashiu: Good luck, monk Geiya…

-Forosio: crazy

-Forosio: Wow, did you finally find the development?

-Akashiu: ㅇㅇ The subject matter and content of this novel are almost identical to Life in Captivity.

-Akashiu: It’s being serialized in real time, so not that much content has been serialized yet, huh?

-Forosio: That’s fine, so say it quickly.

-Akashiu: The first is a murder case, and when does it happen…

──────────────

Siwoo’s eyes widened when he saw Akashiu’s chat.

It was impossible according to his common sense, but it was also frighteningly consistent with the contents of the original novel that he remembered freshly.

It is the time of the lowly men of this world. During the day, only humans can come out of the house and lead a living.

On the other hand, night is the time of demons. A time when demons hiding in the shadows during the day due to the power of the demon king come out and become active. Humans must stay inside their houses at night, and then the houses are completely closed by the power of the goddess and protected from demons. Inside the protected home, humans cannot harm other humans.

And yet, so blasphemous.

The victim was about 7 hours ago. He was killed during the ‘demon time’.

*

Siwoo asked for Hans’ understanding and set out to find the murder scene.

It wasn’t difficult. Because Siwoo had a map he made himself. The abstract description was enough to estimate the location.

While visiting the scene of the incident, we exchanged opinions with other Siwoos. How can I fit smoothly into the main story? How should we investigate to arrive at a logical result?

After about 20 minutes of discussion, a rough guide was established.

“… Is not even a word…”

“…Even if I think about it, that’s the only thing…”

As I walked to the approximate location, I could only hear shouting from one house. Siwoo clung to the wall of the house and peeked inside through the window.

Inside the houseThe two sheriffs who responded to the report were shouting back and forth.

“No, that doesn’t make sense?”

One of the sheriffs shouted in frustration.

“Look at this! How can a body cut like this be a suicide? “This is an obvious murder!”

Then the other sheriff’s face turned red, as if he had been insulted.

“So, are you saying that humans were killed during the time when the goddess was under her protection? “You have to say something that makes sense!”

“You can tell by looking at the condition of the siban (stains that appear on the corpse)! “This body was murdered during the night?”

“Then how are you going to explain the goddess’s protection?”

“Well. “What is certain is that there is a criminal in here!”

The sheriff who claimed murder glared at the bereaved family. The bereaved family members trembled.

The sheriff, who claimed suicide, blocked their path.

“Don’t accuse the wronged person of being the culprit, but think more rationally. “Just because you died at night doesn’t mean you were injured at night!”

“Oh, I can’t believe you survived until night with such injuries. “What a miracle!”

The sheriffs growled at each other. If left alone, there would be another murder case.

Even both answers were wrong.

Siwoo, who could not hear their argument, kicked open the door and entered the house. The sheriffs who were raising their voices looked at Si-woo in surprise.

Siwoo looked at them and raised his middle finger majestically.

“Your investigation is a failure! “Detectives rule here now!”

A man invades a lily couple?

Now the trend is for detectives to invade the crime scene.
