A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 298

Karkeas, Korea’s only prison dedicated to heroes.

In order to enter the remote island with tight security, I prepared very thoroughly. Especially since you're not just going in, you're being caught and taken away through official procedures..

So, in preparation for after I was captured by Stardust, here are the things I prepared with Eunwol..

"That's it... Oppa Dain, I bet everything. This will last a week.."

That's right, a lot of protection magic.

Eunwol took up a large underground room and prepared all kinds of magic circles for several days to create magic for me..

Representative examples include magic that prevents the mask from coming off, and magic related to clothing or cognitive impairment. Of course, just because I was caught this time doesn't mean I was completely caught, so this was essential to prevent my identity from being known..

...Of course, even with this said, I couldn't stop Stadus, who has now almost entered the category of post-human, if he decided to take off his mask, so I played a little prank on him..

Besides that.

A number of things, including a pre-recorded tape recorder, were temporarily placed in the coat. Of course, I made a joke so that I couldn't get rid of it carelessly..

All of this is possible because I know in detail the trial process of super-powered villains..

"Dain oppa... you really have to be careful.?"

When Eunwol said that while holding my collar and looking up at me, I smiled and told her not to worry. Nothing bad will happen.

Anyway, so, I got caught as planned..

So now, the temporary detention center in the basement of the association. I was sitting handcuffed in the place where they were temporarily held before being taken to Carcaeas..

"..."

Surrounded by pure white walls, to be exact, a small room in the middle of the basement, surrounded by glass on four sides. To me, it can only be seen as a mirror, but others can see me from the outside..

"....."

I was alone, with a suspicious-looking smile. Go on, be quiet. I was just sitting quietly alone..

Especially because.

"...ha."

This is because Stadus continued to stand in front of me, looking at me with complicated eyes..

"..."

"..."

'hmm...'

Actually... To be honest, I thought I would be taken straight to Carcaeas, but I didn't expect to be facing Stardust for this long, so I was very embarrassed by the current situation..

So, I just sat there smiling even more quietly and saying nothing..

Actually, if you think about it, it would be embarrassing for her. I had been running away, seemingly on the verge of being caught or not, but suddenly, out of nowhere, I was caught in a situation where I thought I could run away. However, my ego stream is not doing anything..

Of course, the reason I didn't pay that much attention was because I knew that the trial process for villains with paranormal abilities was very fast..

Think about it. Even if you have subdued villains with superpowers, realistically there are not many ways to subdue them for long. I'm the one who's being punished, so I sit quietly in handcuffs. If it were other guys, I'd have already made a fuss. My abilities are not suppressed by these flimsy handcuffs..

A named villain with such superpowers. So, when villains with the association's official villain name of Grade A or higher are caught, their trial process is conducted very lightly. First of all, let alone being able to go to court, they are saying that they cannot even appoint a lawyer. They even go as far as to throw the villain into Carcaeas first while they hold the trial in an informal manner without the villain present..

The reason is that a named villain with an association rating has already committed terrorism, so the crime is clear and unreasonable... and the rules for crimes using supernatural powers are quite strict in the first place. In the first place, the judiciary of this world explicitly applies exceptions to crimes involving supernatural powers..

...So, I thought that a name that everyone knows like me would go straight to Cerceas....

"...."

For some reason, I was sitting there waiting for hours in what looked like an association interrogation center..

Now he came all the way to Stardust and was right in front of me, looking at me with suspicious eyes..

Of course, I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything and just smiled..

'....Write it.'

It was difficult to say that it was difficult. No, let's go quickly..

...So I continued to sit, praying that she wouldn't tell me to speak. Well, I haven't prepared anything for small talk. send me to jail quickly...

"...Hey, ego stick."

And of course, my wishes were not granted..

Ha, it's not easy.

So I avoided Stadus' gaze and waited until she left..

...I haven't even been in jail, but it's already been hard....

***

Association underground temporary detention center.

There, Stadus, who had finished Egostick's interrogation, was currently sighing deeply in his heart..

'...Egostick, what on earth are you thinking??'

Association basement, laboratory and detention center.

Ego Stick is locked in a room in the middle of a wide open basement, and among the association employees who are busy walking around..

She fell asleep as she looked through the glass at Ego Stick, who had been sitting inside smiling quietly..

'...It's clear that he has something on his mind..'

I could tell because she was an expert on egoism. It's clear that Ego Stick wasn't caught without thinking. I'm sure there's something up there..

As a representative example, when I first caught it, I tried to remove the mask, but a magic circle glowed around the mask and it wouldn't come off. So I thought, should I try to remove it by force?...

'Oh, the moment this mask comes off, I die instantly too..'

'...what?'

The person who laughed and said such nonsense.

...Of course, even though she knew it was nonsense, she was the one who decided to leave it alone. anyway..

Anyway, she was looking at the ego stick in the room from outside with such a complicated mind..

Around him, association staff were busy.

"yes. He is now in custody. When will the trial results come out??"

"ah! We're waiting right now so we don't know. Ha, wait a minute. Connect to the responsible department..."

They are talking on the phone or something, going back and forth and tapping away at their computers..

"...So, if you talk to us about protests,...!"

In particular, there were some who shouted in irritated voices about the protests..

As she was listening to that, she suddenly took out her cell phone and looked at the portal site news..

[[Breaking News] Ego-stick pardon protest currently underway in front of the Korea Hero Association...]

Only then did she realize that a protest was taking place on the ground outside..

Of course, Stardus was not particularly surprised. In the first place, she always kept an eye on her ego-stick fan cafe, so she knew that there were many people who liked him and almost even believed in him..

After doing some research, the good news is that only those who are fans of Ego Stick have risen up and the scale itself seems to be comparable. However, since all media outlets are reporting this now, it was predicted that the scale would gradually increase..

It looks like Egostick will be taken to Carcaeas soon....

'...What should I do now?.'

In a situation where the basement of the association is a mess and the outside is also a mess,.

Stadus stood blankly looking at Ego Stick sitting in front of the desk in the middle room..

Suddenly, without realizing it, I thought.

"...wait for a sec."

Come to think of it, this is not an opportunity...?

As of now, Ego Stick is wearing handcuffs that inhibit his abilities and he cannot even teleport. I'm not sure if it's because of the power of the handcuffs or not, but in any case, there's no way to run away..

There was no ego stream running towards him like a ghost whenever he and she were alone, and he was completely alone now..

therefore.

I can't even use my abilities.

A powerless ego stick.

In front of her, she is left alone, without any of her colleagues, with her hands tied and weaker than ever..

'...uh?'

And she realized that.

...To be precise, she realized that no matter what she did to him, no one could stop it..

Excited. Exciting.

Without realizing it, I felt my heart pounding..

...Of course, there were association employees watching, but that didn't matter. Because she's going to get bitten anyway..

'...okay. It doesn't matter whether Ego Stick was caught arbitrarily or not..'

To be precise, the situation is that he is in front of her in a weaker state than he has ever been before..

And, she. She had no intention of missing this opportunity..

"everyone! I received a call from superiors! The results of the summary judgment came out, and they said that Egostick should be transported to eastern Carcaeas.!"

The employees who received instructions from above over the phone looked back at Stadus..

"Phew... finally. Let's do that for now. As for the escort assistant... I guess it would be right to ask Mr. Stadus. That Starder-."

...And those people.

At that moment, I stopped mid-sentence when I saw Stardus' bright eyes..

Stadus nodded quietly, then approached the employee holding the receiver with his blonde hair flowing and spoke..

"all right. And tell it to the president of the association.."

"What, what??"

"I, too, will follow Egostick and go to Carcaeas together.."

Of course it would be.

She had no intention of letting go of the ego stick..

Because it didn't matter to her anymore what Egostick's plan was..
