A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 178
EP.178 Explanation
empty space.
Pure white light filling the place.
A voice resounding in that strange place.
Baby... only you can......
request.
Please... this world..
...sorry.
And, with the last words faintly heard.
Again, the view changed..
red colored sky.
deserted street.
collapsed buildings.
'....Papa...oppa!...wake up...you!...hurry...unni...try it....'
'...I can't...I can't...do anything...with my...power.....'
And, noises coming from somewhere.
and.
'Cough...I'm sorry.......'
'...Rob... third... row... definitely... without me... please....'
Murmurs and sobs again.
'Don't...die...don't you?...Ugh...Ugh.....'
'.......'
'....sorry...'
'No... I give up... I can't... I can't see... me.....'
A tearing noise coming from all directions as if it were deafening..
The sound of something crying, the sky brightening at the same time, the surroundings darkening..
and.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
"Huh! gasp, gasp."
Finally, with that tearing noise, I woke up..
As soon as I wake up, I feel my body soaked in sweat..
Ha fuck, I think I had a dream again.
As I was holding my pounding head, I heard a loud voice coming from somewhere..
"brother!"
"Ugh."
Suddenly I feel a weight next to me.
I barely opened my eyes while holding my head..
"haha. Dain oppa, you’ve finally woken up.."
And on the other side, I saw Hayul putting his hand on my stomach and trying to smile..
"Ugh... oppa..."
"Oh my, Seo-eun, you’re okay now. Why are you crying again?."
"Well, if I had made it a little better, this wouldn't have happened...."
Seo-eun suddenly sheds tears..
Everyone on the other side gathered when they heard that I had woken up, and the room quickly became crowded..
Only after confirming that I had woken up did everyone feel relieved. After calming down to some extent and finally consoling Seo-eun,.
When I woke up and realized that my body was fine except that I was a little hungry, I couldn't help but be surprised to hear Soobin's story..
"yes? It's already been 5 days since I collapsed.?"
"that's right. Dain, do you know how worried everyone was??"
With slightly red eyes, Subin explained the past events with an unusually high voice..
He said that while Stardust and I were fighting fiercely, he watched with concern as they continued to fight because there were no special instructions from me. Then, at an unexpected moment, I was suddenly hit by Stardust's special move and was crushed, so I was so shocked that I ran straight away..
Subin explained that Eunwol was the only one who survived because he flew at the speed of light and rescued her, otherwise it would have been a real disaster. I came here passed out, covered in blood, and my bones were shattered and my internal organs were ruptured. It is said that Hayul managed to heal with great effort..
But the treatment was good, but the problem was that I couldn't get up again. She said that everyone kept me open like that..
"...Brother, from now on I can’t go anywhere alone anymore. If you're going to go, come with us. Okay?"
Seo-eun holds me and says that with her swollen eyes..
And, unusually, Seo Ja-young, who was sitting blankly next to me, also helped out..
"Yes... Seo-eun is right. You move your body too much."
She said that while poking my arm with her finger. Choi Se-hee, who was sitting next to her, nodded her head with a worried look as if she agreed..
So I had no choice but to make a promise on my hospital bed that I would not use my body carelessly from now on. It feels like I've already made a promise several times....
Anyway, I took some time to get myself together again and ate some porridge. After sending everyone away and taking a break, I asked Subin what his reaction was to my surprise attack. Even though it was broken a little miserably at the end, I still fought with Stardust in a fierce battle, so I think there would be a positive reaction...?
So I quietly asked Soobin..
Her answer to my question was shocking..
"...yes? There are rumors of Ego Stick's death.?"
I asked, unable to hide my bewildered expression..
No, why such bullshit nonsense?...
At my reaction, Seo-eun, who was sitting next to me, opened her eyes and spoke while tapping her phone..
"Of course, brother. My brother's injury was captured on the broadcasting station's cameras. Wouldn't everyone think that way? Look."
Seo-eun said that and showed her cell phone screen in front of me. There was an article published there.
[A-level villain ego-stick slander... Egostream has 'no comment'. Suspicion of death continues among netizens...]
Underneath that provocative title is a photo..
The picture quality was a bit poor, probably because it was taken from a distance and enlarged, but I could still see my appearance and the blood very clearly..
"I'm in a mess now, brother. Everyone is saying that my brother is dead.."
"No... would I die that easily? Why is everyone like this?."
"This time I really almost died! Haha... Anyway, that's why it's all over the news and causing a stir.."
"...okay?"
So Seo-eun showed me a few more things. Things like ego stick death being posted as a real-time trend, or Stardust and Robottan videos still occupying the top spot among real-time popular videos on domestic YouTube, and things like that. It's just ridiculous.
....It's a big deal.
I was embarrassed when I saw that. No, if the villain commits a terrorist act, you could get hurt. That makes a leap of logic to say why he might have died. Isn't it common sense that no matter how badly a villain is injured, when he runs away and reappears, he is completely healed? At least that was the case in all the hero movies I saw..
Anyway, I found my phone and quickly searched for public opinion. In fact, there is a rumor going around that Ego Stick is dead. Even the Ego Stick fan cafe is burning brightly..
And I took this matter quite seriously..
...The villain got hit and died while playing as a sidekick? This tarnishes my image too much....
More importantly, if people start to seriously believe that I'm dead, new villains may appear. I will become the second ego stick. Originally, this version of the villain was also a battle for recognition. It's hard to gain popularity, but with rumors going around that I'm dead, this is the best opportunity to attract aggro. I don't know what happens during my gap year. Especially considering that I am the most influential villain in Korea..
...And of course I don't think so, but if Stardust believes that, it could be a bit of a problem. Until she becomes strong enough, she has to treat me as her main enemy and as a goal for her to become stronger, so what would happen if I suddenly die?.
Seeing the Korean people showing abnormal symptoms as a group due to the suspicion of the death of Korea's No. 1 villain, I made a decision..
"It won't work. Let's broadcast right away."
"...Broadcast? now?"
"okay. A broadcast that simply announces that I am alive. There's so much fuss, I can't do it.."
I made a decision..
We decided to quickly end this controversy that suddenly broke out..
No, this incident is just nothing special. It was just a taste of the main event that would happen next, so why is there all this fuss?.
...Of course, I convinced Soobin, who was staring at me, wondering what kind of broadcast he was in when I was in such a bad state, that he was just sitting on a chair and talking..
I turned on the camera and started broadcasting..
Well, the joke ends here..
These people say I'm fine.
***
After the first reports of Egostick's death suspicions.
The Republic of Korea was literally on fire over the suspicion of the death of a single villain..
On the community side, a confrontation broke out between Ego Stick fan cafe Mangodan and Starders fan cafe, and it was a complete mess..
In addition, experts also warned that if Egostick's death was true, there would be a flood of other villains suppressed by him and foreign villains could invade Korea, and the general public also began to take this seriously. There are also concerns about what will happen if Ego Stream runs away after losing its leader..
And that time when it felt like something was going to explode.
Just suddenly, out of the blue, Ego Stick’s broadcast came on..
[Hello everyone, this is Egostick.!]
A broadcast that turned on really suddenly.
On the screen there, a seemingly fine Egostick was seen lazily sitting on a chair and talking..
Well, I tried to play a prank, but it failed, and I will definitely win without doing anything like this in the future..
And after saying that, the broadcast was turned off with the final words, "Terrorism continues!".
A broadcast that suddenly turns on and suddenly turns off, lasts only a few minutes.
However, its impact was enormous..
[[Breaking News] Report of Ego Stick's survival... Looks like there's no problem with his health]
[Ego Stick's death turns out to be a rumor...]
[Ego Stick, ‘We will work harder on terrorism in the future.’ Netizens, rest assured..]
Literally just minutes after the broadcast ended, countless articles started pouring in..
In just a few hours, the suspected case of Ego Stick's death ended neatly..

[If you never once thought that you would die as an egotist, then you are screwed haha.]
That's right, there's no way our mango sticks would fall down like that haha.
If you never had any doubts, it's okay haha.

[Damn hahahahaha]
[Okay, look at the speed at which it goes up ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ What if the mango here was really dead until yesterday? I heard it’s coming up, is that right? My heart feels tight...]
ㄴ[Ah haha, that was just something I said haha.]
[Honestly, if you felt relieved after watching this broadcast, I'd be happy haha.]
ㄴ[ㄹㅇㅋ]
ㄴ[I just smiled as soon as I saw Mango Stick’s face haha.]
ㄴ[If there are no real mangoes, life is no fun, it is absolutely impossible ㄹㅇ... half of the meaning of life is lost.]
[It's not that I like the villain because he's dead, but what is it that I like because he's alive?]
you[? This incident was caused by an A-class hero causing harm to an S-class hero. What are you talking about??????]
ㄴ[This guy is not a Buntang seed from Stardust Cafe.??]
ㄴ[Go!!!!!!! Since ancient times, faith is!!!]

At a time when Korea was quickly regaining stability as if it had been in chaos..
"....ah."
Shin Haru, who was sitting alone on the bed in a dark room, saw a news article and unknowingly dropped his cell phone..
...Relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately..."
She muttered that in a slightly wet voice without realizing it..
The idea of a hero being relieved that a villain is alive was something she could never have imagined..
Who she is now. I didn't have the presence of mind to think about that..
...I'm glad he didn't fall.
she is. All she could think about was that.
