A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 223
After the revelation that Ego Stick was Kim Cheol-woo went viral across the country..
Within just a few tens of minutes, people flocked to the place where he said he lived..
It's literally crowded..
There was an uproar, including people who were curious about whether the man named Kim Cheol-woo was really an egomaniac, reporters looking for scoops, and even fans..
The good news is that not much time has passed yet, so only people who lived nearby came..
But on the other hand, the sound was the same as saying that in a few hours there would be more people there than there are now..
To that extent.
The police officers currently guarding the apartment were in a state of death..
"Seniors! Shouldn't we just arrest that guy who is Kim Cheol-woo or something? I'm dying to draw it!"
A police officer asks his superiors that while blocking a crowd of people..
Then his senior, who heard that, frowned and answered.
"Yay! The only evidence we have now is a one-sided appeal from some villain organization, so how can we trust that and arrest them? There's no warrant.."
"still..."
"And anyway, things related to villains are not our responsibility. It's the association's job. So, we just have to keep it until the association gives us instructions. The higher-ups will take care of everything.."
"Tsk. Then until then..."
"okay. First, we need to take care of these people. excuse me! Don't climb over the fence!"
So the police were busy stopping the crowd of people..
This side of the original building was a quiet place, so there wasn't much to do, but they were dying from being busy moving around due to the suddenly falling sparks. They held on, waiting for additional support or personnel from the association..
And fortunately for them, before a few hours had passed.
Finally, someone from the association came..
It is none other than Hero Stardust himself..
"haha. hello."
"Oh my, Mr. Starders! It's an honor to meet you. Now, quickly, this way.."
At that time, the audience was even more excited to see Stardust come down from the sky..
Breaking through the commotion, Stadus followed the officer's guidance and headed to the place where a man named Kim Cheol-woo lived..
As you walk down the apartment hallway, you can see a lake with police officers gathered in front of it..
"Mr. Cheolwoo! I'll take you to a safe place, so come out. Mr. Cheolwoo!"
At a time when the police were knocking on the tightly closed front door, they saw Stadus walking towards them and jumped out of the door in shock..
"ah. Mr. Starders!"
"Yes, hello. I'll take charge of this from now on, so please step aside.."
"Yes, yep!"
So let the police back down.
Stadus thought for a moment, then stood in front of the front door, grabbed the door handle, and forced it open..
'...You can compensate for this later..'
First of all, I have to meet this guy named Kim Cheol-woo..
With that in mind, she went into the house..
"ha..."
As soon as she saw the broadcast “Ego Stick is Kim Cheol-woo!” she immediately ran to where he was said to be living..
But in fact, she was not sure whether the man named Kim Cheol-woo was an egotist..
So she had to know.
Is this guy Kim Cheol-woo really an egotist?.
With that in mind, she went to a closed room in the house..
A weak sense of popularity felt inside.
"....."
She took a deep breath and opened the door without hesitation..
And the shouting you hear as soon as you open the door.
"Ahh! Help me! I, I'm not egoistic.!"
The room she entered like that.
In the photo, a man named Kim Cheol-woo was shivering with a blanket wrapped around his body..
and.
Finally, she saw with her own eyes the man suspected of being egoistic..
"Phew...."
Just like that, I felt relieved..
...This man is not egoistic.
I knew this because she had seen Ego Stick in front of her eyes, had a conversation with him, and even felt his arms around her..
This man trembling before my eyes is not egoistic..
The voice was different, the height was slightly shorter, and the physique was different from Egostick. At first glance, she may look similar to him because her overall height is similar, but being the ego stick expert she was, she noticed it right away. Is it Kim Cheol-woo? This man is not egoistic..
'...I don't know why they grabbed someone else and made such a fuss..'
...thank god.
I'm so glad.
Starders was so relieved..
Suddenly, I felt a doubt.
"....."
...for a moment.
...Why are you so relieved??
Rather, if you're a hero, shouldn't you be disappointed that this man isn't egoistic? It was a golden opportunity to arrest the villain..
Yeah, I'm sure that's true....
Her thoughts, as she was alone and reflecting on herself, were interrupted by the sight of the man sitting in front of her..
"I... I'm not really an ego stick. Help me! If I were egoistic, I would have teleported away a long time ago, so why would I be here? I just work at a bakery..."
"I know."
"Ordinary college student... yes?"
"Kim Cheol-woo, I also don’t think you are egoistic.."
"Me, really? Do you believe me??"
"yes."
"Wow... thank you, thank you..."
She caught Kim Cheol-woo, who was almost about to make a grand gesture, and spoke quietly. Still, this place is too noisy, so we should go to the association and have them investigate. Once the investigation is over and you are found not guilty, then you announce it to everyone and everyone will know that you are not an egotist..
Kim Cheol-woo nodded even though he was confused as she explained things slowly..
"...Will the investigation take long??"
"It probably won't take that long, but I think it will take a few days.."
"Wow... yep."
Kim Cheol-woo, who soon understood his situation, woke up in despair..
Soon, I followed Stardus and went outside..
"came out, came out!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Kim Cheol-woo, please look here.!"
And as expected, the numerous sounds heard as soon as he appeared outside..
He was going down with the help of police officers, looking like he was about to faint..
Stadus looked at the crowd of people and sighed involuntarily..
...Do these people still believe that Ego Stick is this man named Kim Cheol-woo?.
When will they realize that's not the case?.
"Ego stick! Ego stick! ego stick!"
"Kim Cheol-woo, please show me your face just once.!"
That time when she was thinking like that and ignoring all the noise..
Suddenly, I felt like the murmur around me got louder..
"Wow!!"
"Ego stick, ego stick.!!!!!"
"Hey, how did this happen! Everyone, Ego Stick is here!!"
And listening to those noises.
Stardust felt even more annoyed..
no. This man is not egoistic. How long is he going to do this?.
...It won't work.
Should I make a separate, official statement?.
With that thought in mind, she turned her head out of the hallway..
Only then could I see.
"....?"
People aren't all looking this way.
Lift your head up, you're looking up at the sky.
Why on earth are you doing that??
With that question in mind, she took a step forward without realizing it and looked up..
Only then could I see.
"Hello everyone! This is Ego Stick, who came to interview Ego Stick. Nice to meet you!"
With a cape fluttering and a hat and mask on.
A man who is more familiar to her than anyone else, flying in the sky and smiling.
okay.
Suddenly, he appeared from the sky.
'‘Really’ ego stick. he.
"....haha."
Looking at him like that.
Stardust modified all the thoughts in his head..
okay. How to perfectly prove that Kim Cheol-woo is not an egomaniac. All it took was for the man and the ego stick to be in the same place at the same time..
...okay.
As expected, if it were you, you would do it like this.
Cleanly, without causing much fuss.
While Stadus, who had never expected to see him like this, was thinking about this, he was dumbfounded..
For a moment, she blinked at another sight that she finally saw..
"Wow..."
"Oh my, Mr. Cheolwoo. How do you feel about flying in the sky??"
The man, Kim Cheol-woo, who was clearly going with the police officers in front of him, was suddenly hanging in the air next to Ego Stick..
...No, when did you take him there? really...
She chuckled as she thought about that and looked up at the ego stick. okay. I don't think he'll hurt you anyway, so let's just wait and see..
but...
'...Why do you seem to be avoiding my eyes??'
Suddenly she thought of something like that.
...Probably not. no way.
***
above the sky.
As I floated and looked down at the people below me, I remembered what had just happened..
A situation in which an organization I had never heard of pointed out a strange man, claiming to have discovered the identity of Ego Stick..
After roughly understanding how things were going, I made a decision after thinking for a while..
okay. Let's step forward right away.
'....Actually, I had other ideas besides this..'
This is exactly what our Egostream is quickly issuing a statement..
'Kim Cheol-woo is an ego stick. Give him back now!' Something like this. Maybe that would have made the confusion even bigger..
...however.
I didn't want to cause unnecessary confusion..
Even though I am a villain in the first place, I hunt so many other villains that even other villains in our country are wary of me..
Accordingly, Seol-ah Lee analyzed that if I were to disappear, there would be as much confusion as if Stardus had disappeared..
So I had to do this out of necessity..
like that.
In front of an apartment full of people, I was standing above the sky, holding this man named Kim Cheol-woo..
...However, there is something unexpected about flying all the way here..
That’s right, Stardust is also here..
'...I hate you.'
Suddenly, I feel like I hear the girl who was crying the last time we met say that..
I never thought we would meet again like this, but it was very awkward..
Anyway, I turned on the camera and said hello right away, avoiding Stadus' eyes staring at me from the apartment hallway..
Today's goal was set like that..
Since my goal is to let people know that I and the man named Kim Cheol-woo are different people, I set one goal..
...Stardust Avoid eye contact.
