A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 67
EP.67 Secret Room
"...."
After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that it was a mess..
Leaving behind Starthers, who was still confused and frozen, I quickly scanned the surroundings..
A professional villain does not panic even in moments of crisis and analyzes the situation cool-headedly..
What's different from usual? Isn’t there a hole somewhere to escape??
As I looked around the slope, I soon noticed something different..
clock hanging on the wall.
It was an electronic clock that was turned off, but the light came on and showed the time..
[2 : 58.42]
[2 : 58.41]
[2 : 58.40]
...
Time decreasing as seen on the clock.
Yes, all the secrets are out.!
"Uh... uh...?"
Starders still struggling.
No, what should I do if I get embarrassed like that??
If you are a competent hero, you should be quick, cool-headed, and objective like me in a situation like this..
The Stardust I know wasn't like this..
I never felt this cold!
....Yes, when I think about it, Starders was a Stardust who became more experienced in rolling and rolling in the latter half of the original work..
The current Stardust is showing a foolish appearance, perhaps because it is not yet rolling..
Seup. But no matter what, you can’t do that..
"Starders!"
"Yes?"
As she was looking at me with a very embarrassed expression, I turned my head and pointed at the clock..
"Do you see it over there? Seeing that the time is decreasing, I think I will probably be able to leave when the time runs out. So calm down."
"uh? iced coffee."
Starders finally looked up.
She looked at the clock, frowned, and muttered..
"3hour...?"
"Yes, it only takes 3 hours. Well, it's not that long, so let's wait. Tskcha."
I said that and sat down..
I'm stuck here for three hours, I can't stand there.
My legs hurt.
After sitting down like that, that's when I asked Stadus to sit down and wait..
bang-.
Stardust hits the wall again.
"No, what are you doing??"
"I wait there, wondering if the door will open in 3 hours or if a bomb will explode.?"
As she said that, she continued to pound the door with her fist. And then she'll break down here!
But no matter how hard she tried, the door wouldn't budge..
In the end, she gave up first..
"Tsk..."
She rubbing her hands.
what?
When I looked closely, blood was dripping from my fist..
No, what are you doing??
"No, what should I do if you hit it so foolishly? Your ability is already suppressed.."
"....."
"Ugh, come on. Stop the bleeding with this."
I took out a bandage from the bag and threw it to her..
I gave it to Seo-eun and Soobin to use when they get hurt, and this is how it is used..
"...."
After taking the bandage from me, Stadus thought about it for a bit, then cut a little off and started wrapping it around his arm..
"....I won't say thank you."
"That doesn't mean I'm thankful.?"
"......"
She flinches slightly as if she's hit the nail on the head..
No, I never thought I'd get a thank you, but I didn't expect it to come out like that..
...She's not usually the type to talk to villains like that. She honestly said that even when I threw away her bandage, I was prepared for it to fly in my face again. I accepted it so obediently that I was a little surprised..
what? Is my personality a bit finite at this time of year??
That's probably not true. So are you giving me special treatment??
Why? There's no particular reason for that.
Just as I was thinking this, a bandage flew towards my face..
Well then.
"evil! No, I gave it to you after thinking about it. What did I do so wrong? If I just roll it, where will it go??"
"...."
When I grumbled and glared at her, she slightly averted her eyes to the side. I guess he feels a little sorry too.?
...But actually, there is nothing to feel sorry for the villain..
"Well, let's just sit back and wait. And just looking at it, it looks like it means the door will open in 3 hours. Do you have any ‘intuitive’ feelings??"
"...intuition."
She heard me and mumbled.
Yeah, intuition. You have super senses. Almost a prediction of the future.
Actually, I don't know what will happen in those 3 hours, so please find out..
She frowned for a moment, then relaxed her face..
He probably intuitively felt that it would open in 3 hours..
Phew, that's a relief. Well, Stardust's extra senses may not have fully developed yet... but this much is probably correct..
So we sat quietly.
Still.
Without even moving.
In a small room, just the two of us.
Without saying anything to each other, silently.
"...."
for a moment.
This is hell?
***
An hour passed without saying anything to each other..
All I can hear is each other's small breathing..
Of course, I wasn't the only one who stayed quiet..
I took snacks out of the bag and ate them. It was delicious.
Stadus flinched for a moment when I put my hand into the bag, but sighed as if he was slightly relieved when I just took out the snacks..
why. Was he nervous that I might take out the gun inside??
...At least that won't happen to me, so don't worry..
is not it? If you feel safe, doesn't that mean you don't have a sense of crisis as a hero??
"Would you like some snacks??"
"...nonsense."
I asked because you looked hungry, not because you didn't like it..
From then on, we continued to be quiet and still with each other. It's so awkward I'm dying.
And aside from the awkwardness, after an hour passed, I felt... there was a little lack of oxygen here. I'm having trouble breathing. Is this the sadness of the secret room??
Lack of oxygen is a very big problem. If there is a lack of oxygen, there is a high possibility that the brain will not function and thus will not be able to make rational decisions. In other words, words can come out without going through the brain..
...And of course, I would be in big trouble if I did that. How many secrets am I hiding?.
So I decided to just keep my mouth shut and stay quiet. They say that if you stay still, you will get halfway..
At first it felt awkward and I twisted my body, but as time went by, I got used to it. I had the urge to take out my phone from the bag for a moment, but I resisted because doing so might have exposed my identity. I can't even use teleportation here, so I can't escape..
By now I was getting used to the sound of her breathing, and I was dazed, thinking that I could just stay like this for one more hour..
No, and as time goes by, the two of us are trapped in a small room, so it seems like we can't breathe well. Didn't these bastards from the Bank of Korea even install an oxygen concentrator in the secret room? What on earth are they doing?.
Thanks to these guys, my head is getting more and more dizzy. It's like I'm on drugs. No, more accurately, it looks like he was drinking? Guys, oxygen is so important..
Hey, I'm glad I was stuck for 3 hours. Just when I thought it would have been a real problem if I had gone any further..
Suddenly, she opened her mouth..
"....Mapo Bridge."
"yes?"
I was staring at the ceiling blankly, then looked down again after hearing her words..
She was in a position with her knees together and her legs covered with her hands. She looked down without even looking at me and muttered..
"At Mapo Bridge, you stopped the car from falling.?"
She asks in a slightly mumbling voice..
No, I'm suddenly asking this here.?
When I looked at her closely, my eyes were already slightly closed..
What are you sleeping? I don't think so?
Oh, maybe it's because she's a little dizzy right now too..
....Even though you are physically capable, why are you making such a fuss about not having enough oxygen??
Oh, he also has his abilities suppressed right now.?
While I was playing drums and drums with my non-stop head, she gave me a shout one more time..
"..Car, did you stop?."
automobile? Why did I stop the car? If a car stops, is it a manual car??
Oh, are you talking about Mapo Bridge? I slightly stopped the thing that fell.?
...I mean, I barely saw that.?
I never stopped doing that. Anyway, there is no.
"I didn't stop at anything. Because I am a person who always runs forward.."
"What bullshit..."
After mumbling that answer, she asked another question again..
"Then why did you ask me to save that plane??"
"Didn't you say it then? In order for me to become a villain, of course I need an enemy, a hero, to stand against me. Just because a villain only commits terrorism does not mean he is a villain. A villain only becomes a villain when there is an enemy to stop him. So it was like that."
"....."
She closed her mouth again in response to my answer..
Well, actually, I just reversed the saying that heroes are made by villains. I don't know, my head is dizzy, so I'll answer roughly..
Now my head is starting to hurt, so I'm thinking about being quieter..
She opened her mouth once again.
"Then, the reason why Mapo Bridge was torn down... was because they knew in advance that the monster would come up this time.?"
No, how can she even ask me this?.
It feels like almost everyone has heard it at least once. Wow.
Anyway, as always, I was about to see her to reply that it was just a coincidence..
I made eye contact with her..
As soon as our eyes met, she lowered her head again..
But I just saw clearly.
Her eyes look at me with sharp eyes, as if she wants to find out all my secrets..
"......"
I wake up.
No, are you saying that everything I mumbled and spoke slurred until now was just an act? to catch me off guard?
Shin Haru, she truly is a scary woman. It's like a poisonous snake.
When I came to my senses again, I swallowed..
okay. Now that I think about it, something was strange..
Why did you readily accept forming an alliance with me in the first place??
Now I see that it wasn't done to find out more about me or to steal information.?
I got goosebumps for a moment.
Starders, new day! How far have you drawn the big picture?...
Wait, what was she asking this whole time??
Is it me who stopped the car from falling?.
When asked why I asked you to save the plane.
They asked me if I destroyed Mapo Bridge knowing that a black monster incident would occur?...
When my thoughts reached that point, my face hardened..
If I sum up the questions she asked me,.
Aren’t you doubting whether I am the villain??
Maybe not. Maybe it's just my grandiose delusions and an illusion..
Intuitively, it seems like that, but I don't have a super sense like Stardust that only knows the truth intuitively..
Even so, this is a crisis..
To begin with, as a fake villain and someone who imitates villains, I have always been concerned about the fundamental power of villains..
Your identity must not be revealed.
In fact, everything like terrorism is for her sake, and I just want to save this world....!
then what should i do?
Yes, now is an opportunity..
When you two are together like this, you can completely eliminate any misunderstandings..
It makes her throw away any doubts she has about me and makes her recognize me as a completely evil villain.!
To do that, I would rather go with the straight method..
I giggled, covering the unmasked face with my hand..
"hahahahahahahaha!!!"
When I suddenly smile, she looks puzzled.
It's Stardust, it's Stardust.
A true villain is someone who shakes the spirit of his opponent and turns the situation into his own hands..
In that sense, being the last one can be a tactic..
Now, let's shake things up..
"I'll just tell you... that's right. you're right."
I smiled, looked into her eyes, and opened my mouth..
"I knew in advance that the disaster would happen."
"When I found out, I broke that bridge on purpose.."
She is taken aback by my sudden recognition..
okay. You didn't know I would agree so readily..
Well then, let's go ahead and shake our mouths off..
"So what."
"What do you mean??"
whatever.
