A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 68
EP.68 Tongsu
"....what?"
"It's true that he knew that disaster was going to happen, so he broke the bridge in advance.."
She looks dumbfounded at my answer.
Yeah, I guess he didn't expect me to admit it so readily..
I think they were trying to put pressure on me by finding a loophole in my excuse and catching me off guard..
There's no way.
"But, so what? Since you know that, what should I do??"
I actually asked that question.
Eggory Biggie. What should I do with the strategy?.
"....No, wait."
She held her forehead as if she had a slight headache from my cool admission..
Why didn't you expect this answer? I guess I didn't know it would come out like this?
Professional villains usually end up on the run..
"....Then how did you know that incident would happen??"
"ah. I should tell you that.."
I crossed my arms, looked into her eyes and spoke seriously..
"Actually, I have the ability to predict the future. Knowing that, I broke the leg in advance.."
"...really?"
no, don't believe it...
"Seeing as you believe this, it seems like you are still a long way from becoming a hero who can make proper portions.."
When I spoke with a sneer, she narrowed her eyes..
"...no?"
"Of course not. Where should I start talking about this? Just think of it as a victory for modern science.."
Take a moment to breathe.
"My 'colleagues' and I had been hacking into the Bank of Korea Group a few weeks ago and discovered that they were cultivating a huge, uncontrollable monster in the basement of their headquarters. So, I analyzed it through simulation and analyzed the scenario when it escaped. So I prepared everything in advance.."
"Breaking my leg was just one part of the many insurance policies I took out. Aside from that, we have set up settings for a variety of situations. The leg just got caught accidentally.."
What is the number of different cases?.
Of course, since I crossed the bridge in the original, I didn't do anything other than break it..
But let me put it this way. Unless you suddenly want to be treated like a prophet.
....Actually, it's almost like seeing the future..
Anyway, I think my excuse worked well..
She looks a little confused. yes, accept it!
Think about the hacks I've done so far. Broadcasting company hijacking, money transfer to national account macros...
Honestly, if this is the case, is it really worth breaking the security of a large company and running a simulation? Of course you can do it, right??
She pondered my answer for a moment and then asked, still with a confused look on her face..
"No, that's weird."
"What's so strange??"
"Why do you care about other people dying or not and why do you stop them? In the first place, you are the one who plays with other civilians and commits terrorism.?"
She glares as if she doesn't understand.
You can just answer like this.
"If something like that happens, the aggro will be taken away.."
"Aggro?"
"Interest. What are the characteristics of villains? This is all just to get attention. Is it called the greatest misfortune of the greatest number? I'm trying to bring despair to more people through terrorism, but if something like that happens, will people pay attention to me? I mean, would people who have already lost family and friends care about strangers talking about them being dead or alive on TV? So I blocked it."
She gave me a puzzled look at my calm words..
Well, that's true..
In fact, if a villain causes a terrorist attack and becomes a hot topic, no villain carries out any terrorist attacks for several weeks afterward..
Because the amount of attention you will receive decreases..
In fact, there are statistics showing that the crime rate is decreasing due to my recent large-scale terrorist attacks..
"...so. I blocked it to avoid losing aggro.?"
"yes. That's correct."
"........"
"What kind of answer did you expect? Do you think I suddenly realized my inner goodness and woke up as a hero who goes out to save people? The truth is actually thinner than you think.."
I just smiled and said that.
....But the real truth is that I did it to save people and prevent this world from becoming a wasteland..
But what on earth would she think of me if I told her this? She, with her unique extra senses, might just figure out my identity..
In fact, all the terrorism I do and the random killing of other villains are all done to protect this world..
Actually, I don't have a hobby of bothering people, I'm only doing this for her..
All of this is just for peace in this world and to prevent her misfortune..
Of course, I don't think she'll figure all this out..
From the outside, I look like an outlaw who plays above the law and a terrorist who harasses the weak..
Still, there is no harm in being careful in advance..
And just as I finished speaking, the door shield began to rise to the ceiling again..
I looked up and looked at the time, and before I knew it, three hours had passed..
The door finally opened.
This awkward room is also an escape.!
She still has a confused expression.
ha. I guess I should say this too. I can't do it because it's frustrating..
"....and. No matter what I do, whether I save people or not, I am an outlaw and a terrorist who plays above the law. So, he is a villain. I'm adding this because you keep thinking strange things.."
So don't doubt me.
I'm a definite villain! It seems like they've been trying to turn me into a black hero for some reason, and I'm very embarrassed. I don't think I've heard that Starthers believes in the theory of sex glands. Why do you keep trying to wash me?.
Her expression seemed to become more suspicious after hearing what I said, so I gave up thinking about it..
okay. You have to experience it to know, you have to experience it to know.
Still, she didn't really refute what I said and just stood up quietly..
what. First of all, what I said is logically correct. What are you going to do with more suspicion here??
...But how did it suddenly become an atmosphere where she was interrogating me and I was making excuses? I just came for the power-up event. How did they get involved?...
So we kept moving forward.
Well, we didn't say much to each other after that. I just advanced, defeating each and every monster that popped out..
...No, I don't know what the situation is..
It's like a hero and a villain exploring the underground together. I did suggest it, but it's a really strange picture..
She doesn't attack me because she knows I can run away immediately. Just watching as if trying to figure out what I'm trying to do.
I don't attack her because I have no intention of attacking her in the first place. It's common sense in this world that villains 'attack' heroes out of ignorance... but why on earth should I do that??
So we continue to have this awkward companionship..
Especially based on the comical conversation in the room earlier, it seems to have become more awkward..
Sometimes she stares at me, and I'm scared. What on earth are you thinking??
I walked behind her like that..
Never took the lead. If you do that, there's a high chance that you'll be tricked and dragged to the bottom of the association..
They attack each other, but they also let each other go their separate ways, so they are walking together under the strange title of a temporary alliance..
On the way, I almost eliminated all the monsters I saw, and now I feel like I've dealt with them all..
Although I couldn't see the monster that was said to move in an instant. Is he already out of here? Well, the other heroes will take care of that..
I just want to quickly grab the Behemoth and run away..
...No.
Now, before she realizes my true nature with her unique intuition.
Might need some education on what a real villain is....?
In the first place, huh? It makes sense for a hero to sit idle and do nothing with a villain by his side like this.?
Are you conscious or not?.
Anyway, that's how we got to the end..
A large space in the deepest part of the underground, a broken water tank there..
"behemoth...?"
She muttered as she looked at the writing in front of the tank..
Yes, she finally learned the monster's name..
There was no one in this space filled with green, sticky things flowing out of the water tank..
There are a lot of broken computers and papers scattered around..
It seems like everyone who was researching here had run away beforehand. I’m really good at standing out..
Anyway, we went to the room next to this place..
This place, which has a high ceiling, is smaller than the place where the water tank was before, but it is still spacious..
In the middle of this room, there was something like an incubator..
Little black tentacles inside it..
ha. I finally found it.
Now all you have to do is grab this and pop it. All you have to do is bounce....
I glanced at Starthers..
He was looking through materials on the desk in the corner, not even paying attention to me..
...I do not like it.
Why aren't you interested in me??
No, this doesn't mean it's weird..
Is it right for a hero to be defenseless like that with a villain by his side??
A true hero must always be wary of villains.
I don't know why you trust me to let me act so freely..
Why are you so fearless??
"...."
It won't work.
Originally, I would have just grabbed the Behemoth and run away while she was looking away..
I have to teach her some of the bitterness of the world..
With that promise, I slowly approached the incubator..
It's showtime.
***
"...What is this again?."
She muttered as she looked at the incubator in the middle of the large room..
This room at the very end of this secret laboratory.
Inside, there was an incubator that looked suspicious at first glance..
And the black tentacle inside it.
This is probably what the Bank of Korea group wanted to protect the most..
I glanced to the side and saw Egostick looking at the incubator with very interested eyes..
"Don't touch it. I'm going to send that to the association first.."
"Yes yes. of course."
He raises his hands up and smiles as if he's not going to do anything..
"...."
When I saw him like that, what happened in the room earlier came back to me..
Even though he had lost all his strength and was helpless, he handed over the bandage and did not touch it at all..
He said he knew everything and destroyed the bridge, but it wasn't specifically to save people..
He added that he was a villain, so don't doubt him..
It all comes together.
She became even more unaware of egoism and what it was..
He is clearly a villain. An outlaw who plays above the law and a villain who causes terrorism against people..
But why.
Does it make you think that everything he says is hiding some truth?.
Why do I become strangely alert when I'm next to him?.
'...Why do I keep thinking like this?.'
She shook her head and shook off her thoughts..
First, let’s focus on what’s in front of us..
She headed to the desk in one corner of the room..
There's probably some information about that here..
and she found.
A report about that.
*
《RKCB-001》
[[Tentative name] Behemoth
*
So when she was reading the explanation.
To be exact, when I let my guard down.
A low voice was heard from the side where the ego stick was..
"wake up behemoth."
The sound of something breaking loudly is heard along with it..
Stardust hurriedly turned around due to the sudden situation..
The whole situation was already over.
The incubator is already falling apart.
And something black and ominous wrapped around Egostick's arm..
In all that confusing situation.
Egotic He was smiling quietly while looking towards Stardust..
Just like that, he talks to her while smiling..
"Mr. Starders. Do you know that?"
The trick is timing..
