A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 28
EP.28 Seeds of doubt
[..So now, when the ego stick is taking its time, let's go, okay??]
After a phone call with the association president, she was flying.
Recognition is hindered,
It comes and goes as quickly as possible, so it can't be said that time is delayed that much..
If there had been no ego stick, it would not have been surprising if there had been hundreds more casualties..
"haha..."
She flew tens or hundreds of kilometers across the sky..
She wondered if it was too late, if everything was already over, but she continued to fly..
The in-ear earphones connected to the association's staff were flying at such high speeds that I could no longer hear them. But she couldn't slow down her speed. She didn't know how many more people would be harmed during the short period of time she was dawdling..
So when she arrived at the place where the villain was causing trouble.
The villain had already fallen.
And nearby, there was someone who calmly picked up a firearm that had fallen on the ground and put it in a bag..
The number one thought on her mind these days was egoism..
"Wow... gasp..."
I turned my head and looked at the situation..
A huge figure with a crocodile-like face was lying down..
There is some kind of green smoke floating around the crocodile monster, and the egotic guy is wearing a gas mask, so it looks like he used some kind of biochemical weapon to deal with it..
Where on earth did that guy get something like that, and how did he think of disposing of it that way?.
Swallowing the rising doubts, she simply confirmed the facts to him once again..
"...Did you knock it down??"
"Yes, that's right. I knocked it down."
Her brows naturally furrowed at his nonchalant answer. I don't understand. Why did he suddenly appear and kill that crocodile monster? What does it mean to him to act like that??
Putting all those questions together, she could only ask:.
"....Why?"
When she asks that question, the egotist opens his mouth and begins to speak softly, as if he had prepared the answer to the question in advance..
"Well, I was just relaxing, and suddenly the broadcast showed some kind of weirdo making a fuss? He was just singing Starders and he was eating popcorn thinking that our Star has become very popular these days, but why not mention me??"
The gunman called Ego Stick.?
While Shin Haru was thinking, “Maybe he didn’t hear me because he immediately left the scene and took senior Chae Hyeon with him,” Ego Stick continued..
"Are you saying I'm biting and sucking with you or something? Did you feel a little worse? what did i do."
Her face also frowned at his words..
what? Am I biting and sucking with him? This is a ridiculous slander. From the beginning, we were enemies.
...But when Egostick said that he felt bad too, I felt a little bad. something unpleasant.
"And according to my dictionary, the guy who joked about me needs to be educated. To set an example, he played with it a bit.."
Was that really the point?.
Her expression relaxed without her realizing it..
Yeah, that crazy guy can do that..
What he has shown so far has been impulsive and destructive..
It seems that when someone weaker than Egostick mentioned his name, he got upset and killed him..
That's when she cleared up all her doubts.
Suddenly, he telekinetically manipulated the camera that was filming them, and turned its back to face him..
And what you say to yourself in a small voice.
"...And I say that because I muted it. From now on, don't even think about just going out like you did today. The moment you do this, life will become very difficult.."
what?
she was very embarrassed.
How do you know I thought that way?
When she had a momentary brain freeze, Egostick was already looking at the camera and waving his hand..
"ruler! Well, that's it for today's broadcast. I'm very tired because I left suddenly today without a plan. Something big is coming next month, so look forward to it. See you next time then. hi~."
Wait, the big one is next month.?
No, how on earth did he know what he was thinking earlier??
"for a moment!"
Before she could hastily ask him, he was already gone..
The rooftop was empty except for the crocodile monster sprawled out next to him..
"...What on earth?."
***
And a few days after that.
The incident was quickly forgotten by the public..
The incident was also closed within the association, with disciplinary action being taken against the BC rank heroes who did not come forward even though they could have been on the scene at the time..
"ha. I really would have been in big trouble if Ego Stick hadn't come back then. This guy is a crazy dog. If a crazy dog bites us, it's a big problem, but if it lunges at the enemy, there's nothing more reliable than that! haha."
Leaving behind the carefree laughter of the association president, she came out of the office..
"Phew...."
After completing all reports and leaving the building, she looked up at the sky and sighed..
It's a good thing. It's a good thing.
Why is my head so complicated?.
Walking down the street, she looked into the school community on her cell phone..
I searched by entering Korean characters in the search box within the community..
[ego stick]
Posts that don't appear very often.
Puzzled, she thought for a moment and searched differently..
[mango stick]
Then, the posts that were being searched came pouring in..
[Mango stick! Mango stick! mango stick!]
[I'm craving mango sticks today.]
[Baby Mangboong has joined the Mango Team... Is it possible to get hot??]
[These days, Mango Stick seems to be much better than most heroes.]
[Mango Stick seems to be from our university (there is evidence))]
[In the past, I praised Mango Stick and defended the villain. They gave me a one-month suspension, so why aren't they doing it all now?]
[Mango Stick predicts terrorist attacks next month...real fact]
Numerous posts were all about praising ego sticks..
As she continued to scroll through the posts with a determined mind, there was a post that caught her eye..
[These days, you've been shaking the mango stick and ruthlessly sucking at villains, but if Korea continues like this,...]
Yes, there is someone here who, like you, has identified the problems with the current social phenomenon..
She clicked on the post expectantly..
Then the text content that appears.

"a c."
She just pressed back..
In the end, she turned off her phone with no results, resting her chin on her head and looking out the window at the car running..
....Everyone likes ego-stick except yourself..
Where did it all go wrong??
'...Didn't he at least have no casualties? Also, the ego-stick guy is hunting other villains these days, so the crime rate has decreased. Let's leave it alone for now. Anyway, it's hard to catch him because he has the ability to move instantaneously....'
'what? What if he causes another terrorist attack? Haha, then wouldn't it be okay for you to stop it again? I only trust you. Our association believes in you.."
....The president's words kept floating around in her head..
Since the head of the Korean Paranormal Association said something like that, ego-stick may actually be harmless..
However, if you look at what he has shown so far, he is the embodiment of unpredictable thinking..
In fact, if he hadn't stopped it, everyone on that ship and those tied to the tracks would have died..
If someone had died due to egoism, would people have praised him then as they do now??
"...."
Yeah, it couldn't have been that way..
She leaned her face against the window and closed her eyes..
Ego stick, how on earth did this guy know that he was planning to show his face?.
Did you read your own thoughts? Like a mind reader?
No, that can't be true. You probably don't have that ability..
Then how on earth did you know? Did she know that she was at the festival at that time??
How do you know? So does that mean you also know my personal information? That I am a new day?
"..."
Yeah, that's not the point..
The important thing is that Egostick is a solid villain. She will catch him. Just like other villains.
she promised again.
But before she knew it, a seed had been planted in her heart..
Maybe other people are right and maybe you are wrong. That seed of doubt.

"...Subin, your brother hasn’t woken up yet.?"
"huh. But now my vitals are much better. I think you'll probably wake up soon.."
"Sigh... Seriously, what on earth does this idiot believe? You're acting carelessly like this...."
Ego stick. Leaning on the bed where Da-in was lying, Han Seo-eun looked at him..
What on earth does this man believe and rush at him so recklessly without any warning?.
....After all, Stardust, it must be because of that bitch..
"....."
When Han Seo-eun thought of Stardust, she felt something uncomfortable rising in her heart..
Even though Dain has never said it directly, she instinctively deduced it..
It's the same as this time, and it's the same this time too.
Dain said he would do anything for Stardust..
What on earth is so good about Stardust??
Rather.
"Cluck, cluck."
"brother!"
Before she could finish thinking, Dain woke up..
It's been three days since he collapsed..
