The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 109
109fury
James Reed's expression became urgent..
“Don't do that, just listen to me.!”
I was so desperate that I received the recipe so I decided to give it a try..
“try.”
“therefore…….”
The reason James Reed came across the ocean to Korea was because of an unusual phenomenon that recently occurred in the United States..
At first there was a strong force reaction. An emergency order was issued in California and awakened people gathered, wondering if it was a new plus level monster. However, soon enough, hundreds of thousands of monsters began to gather at that location..
This put the United States on alert..
The wave of monsters exceeding hundreds of thousands was a huge disaster that had never happened before..
If these monsters attack all at once?
Huge casualties were expected..
Some argued for a preemptive nuclear strike, but it was said that the opposing opinion was predominant because it could end up provoking the demons..
“…….”
At least reason is alive..
If a nuclear weapon had been launched, the worst would have happened sooner. Because it’s like cleaning up the little things that are blocking the progress of the situation..
It seemed like the situation the slut was talking about was exactly what I expected..
Well, that's it.
I said, sitting crookedly.
“So why are you asking me that??”
“Junho is so damn smart! Is there no way?”
“So why are you asking me?.”
“Oh, I know everything.”
I don't know since when did he start acting slyly just because we were friends, this little guy?.
Let’s just listen to the story first..
“We decided to call it the Monster's Grave.”
James Reed's guess was correct.
The monster's grave, the abnormal phenomenon that occurred in the United States was caused by the corpse of a monster..
I remembered my experience from my last life..
As monsters appeared and awakened people appeared, their level began to increase..
As the level 8 harmful monster appeared, a level 8 superhuman appeared, and a plus level that surpassed the level 8 harmful level appeared..
The number of monsters that control more than half of humanity's territory is terrifying. Even if they try to recover lost territory, each country is cautious because it is impossible to know how many monsters are lurking within it..
The speed at which monsters increase is fast, and it takes a long time to raise high-level awakened ones..
As a result, an ecosystem of monsters was created, and as they fought each other, high-level monsters began to appear in an environment where the might of the jungle is fighting..
In particular, as the number of Level 8 harmful creatures increased, there were cases where monsters that ruled as predators in certain areas clashed with each other..
The winner takes the area and the loser is kicked out..
When you escape safely, you can settle down in a new area, but sometimes a seriously injured monster dies while moving..
“It's a monster's corpse..”
“that's right.”
The monster's grave, as James Reed said, is a phenomenon that occurs when an 8th level monster dies..
The heart of the harmful level 8 monster, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the monster ecosystem, otherwise known as the Core, is not contained and runs wild..
The reason monsters are gathering is to target this core. The core is a symbol of strength and the source of power for monsters, so they fight to get it..
If completely absorbed, a new harmful level 8 monster will be born..
When you put it this way, it sounds like a martial artist chasing after Jang Bo-do..
“You know how, right? huh?”
“You probably know that this is a phenomenon that occurs when a monster dies..”
“know!”
“If a monster absorbs that core, it is expected that it will become a new harmful level 8 monster..”
“huh!”
James Reed seems to be hoping for some great solution..
How much easier would life be if something like that came out?.
The world is the norm, the norm.
Didn't I go crazy trying to get stronger quickly by taking various gifts?.
“Then just leave it alone.”
“What? That's it?”
“Doesn’t America know better what the consequences will be if a low-level monster absorbs the core??”
The harmful level 8 core is not soft..
Even if one of the countless monsters gathered absorbs the core, it usually cannot overcome the surge of power and explodes..
“However, if absorption is successful,…….”
“At that time, it will become a Level 8 harmful monster..”
“Those are irresponsible words, Junho.!”
I thought this was a prayer meta, but it’s nothing special.
“The irresponsible thing is that if you put mussels in soybean paste stew, you say it's a Mediterranean recipe and then splatter..”
“…….”
“In this case, it's one of two things. One is to expect the monster that absorbed the core to self-destruct, and the other is to form a small, deadly force to destroy the core..”
Then the monsters attracted by the power of the core will disperse on their own..
Rather, the mixed up monsters could cause self-destruction and drastically reduce their numbers..
America probably already knows this much..
The reason he stabbed me was probably to see if there was a strange way to do it..
Still, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to decide on a choice..
James Reed sighed..
“Is that the only way?.”
“doesn't exist. If you're done with your business, go..”
Still, I have to look at the sincerity of preparing a new recipe..
It's New York-style soybean paste stew, so it has a New Yorker feel to it..
James Reed seems to want me to come to America, but I recently went to Japan and have no intention of going..
We need to open Yunhee's gift, extract the Penta awakening ingredient, and most of all, prepare for the 'attack' that will occur in the near future..
As far as I know, plus level monsters appear from the south and north at the same time, and there are forces that take advantage of that opportunity to attack..
I was wondering if they would just kick out the uninvited guest, but I received an unexpected answer..
“I'm not going.”
“what?”
“I decided to stay in Korea from now on! I plan on staying for a long time! So please take care of me!”
James Reed said with a grin..
Is it not possible to be forced to leave the country??
I looked at Cheon Myeong-guk, wondering what kind of situation this was, and he was looking at me with a helpless expression..
“Reed Cho-in came as the head of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea..”
“…….”
Was it possible for a superhuman to do that??
The troublesome guy ended up staying in Korea..
* * *
James Reed goes outside with Choi Jun-ho, and the president and Cheon Myeong-guk, who are left alone, look serious..
The abnormal phenomenon that occurred in the United States was something that the government could never overlook..
“It's a monster's tomb. Just hearing about it gives me a headache..”
“This is the same phenomenon that occurred in North Korea in February last year..”
“A level 8 harmful monster that was not in the data popped out..”
“yes.”
At the time, the government was shocked, thinking it was the appearance of a level 8 harmful monster..
If the monster moved south, there was a possibility that the surrounding monsters would also push down..
Currently, the frontier city in South Korea is Kaesong..
Since it was a city that had just been restored, there was a debate over whether to spend an astronomical amount of money to strengthen defenses..
In addition, the difficulties the government experienced due to the actions of Kim Young-hwan and the large guilds, who withdrew from the hunt to increase the ransom, were immeasurable..
Fortunately, the newly born monster headed to China. While South Korea breathed a sigh of relief, China was in chaos. Over this, Zhang Zedong insisted that Korea drove the monsters north, and their relationship was not good for a while..
Looking back now, it was surprisingly similar to the phenomenon described by James Reed..
“Let’s say this phenomenon can happen at any time. but.”
The president paused and looked serious..
“I'm surprised that Macho Man even stayed in Korea. It seems that Choi Jun-ho's value in the United States is much higher than we think..”
“The evaluation continues to rise. You'll have to try it yourself.…….”
“There are things like that, but even that can be considered a factor that can be tolerated. There are so many superhumans who do extraordinary things. What do you think, Director Cheon??”
“I think the same way.”
“The possibility that America knows something we don't know is?”
“high.”
“I can't ask out loud, it's an awkward situation..”
“…….”
Cheon Myeong-guk expressed his approval in silence..
Choi Jun-ho's value was at a point where evaluation was meaningless anymore..
Even if asked to trade with five superhumans from other countries, Choi Jun-ho was the top choice in all values..
Young, strong, not calculating, and once he decides, he doesn't hesitate..
It ranked first among the recently announced superhuman ransom prices..
However, it was assessed as being difficult to handle, to the point where it was openly called a bomb..
This was the only factor that lowered the ransom price. Choi Jun-ho proved his worth by running at the top in all other areas..
James Reed's actions stimulated many imaginations, but Cheon Myeong-guk mentioned the situation immediately in front of him..
“The problem now is James Reed. Korea can advertise externally as a trustworthy country, but…….”
“I'm probably worried about being spied on..”
“yes.”
James Reed, who completed his doctorate at Stanford, was one of the most brilliant minds among superhumans..
Even if you look at the same thing, you will see many things.
“But that's not what we're worried about.”
“then?”
“We should be worried about James Reed's life..”
“ah…….”
James Reed is said to be close with Choi Jun-ho, but it's unclear when that relationship will turn sour..
If I had to die?
The President spoke as if comforting me.
“Still, I'm going to make the case these days, so I'll have to look forward to it..”
“I hope so..”
Cheon Myeong-guk said with a desperate expression..
* * *
James Reed, when this guy said he was staying in Korea, I thought he had other plans..
I pretended to be innocent and had a concept, but inside I was a pitch-black guy..
Sure enough, the guy who followed me out of the Blue House noticed me carefully and then quietly approached me and asked me a favor..
“Jun Ho! Please introduce me to Berserker..”
“Why is Berserker?”
“I want to see the villain who killed the debuffer..”
“Why are you looking for a villain in me?.”
“I know very well that Junho is very close with Berserker.!”
“…….”
Should I hit you??
Who is friends with such a crazy person?.
He's just a guy that's nice to pamper me when I feel like it..
Yes, it's perfect if you say it's a one-sided business relationship..
Aside from that, do you know that I interact with Berserker?.
Is this America’s intelligence power?.
“Nope.”
I refused. Because I knew Berserker, there was no reason to introduce him to him..
Then James Reed appealed in a different direction..
“Jun Ho! Isn’t it amazing how well I always come up with recipes? I have a way!”
What he mentioned was molecular cuisine. It was a field that created new shapes or textures through scientific analysis..
“…….”
If you thought I would get this far, you were wrong..
…Of course I'm curious.
But it's not enough to pass over.
In the first place, there was something to take from him..
“Pay with something else. If you agree, I'll introduce you to Berserker..”
“What? tell me what you need!”
“You said you were a doctor?”
“…haha! I took all the exams, but I got it by accident. I don't know.!”
Even if you pretend to be stupid, you won't be fooled..
Just like he researched me, I also researched him..
A superhuman who modified his body thoroughly based on theory. The current James Reed can be considered a product of calculation..
The evaluation is comparable to or one level below the zodiac sign, and is evaluated lower than that of the upper teens..
At this level, he may just be an outstanding superhuman, but he has a brain that others do not have..
This means that the person is a talented person who understands the situation in the field and the research institute at the same time..
All I need is his brain.
Oh, of course, I'm not talking about opening the head and taking out the brain..
“There's something I'm researching, and if you cooperate, I'll introduce you to Berserker..”
“It's so one-sided.”
“If you don't like it, don't do it..”
“Ugh!”
James Reed looks troubled.
Even though everything had already been caught, it was amazing to see that they maintained the concept until the end..
“okay! I'll do it!”
“good.”
I got caught.
I'll have to show him how Korea grinds its balls..
After receiving the promise, I arranged a meeting between James Reed and Berserker two days later..
Berserker, who was reading the chat at first, took the bait when Macho Man James Reed said he wanted to meet him..
You'll have to pay for ruining my contact later..
That's how a crazy person and a strange person met..
“This is Macho Man James Reed. He's a guy who has fine hair and is different on the outside and the inside..”
“Jun Ho! You’re so annoying when you speak.”
“What is so serious.”
On the contrary, it was said in a positive way..
He doesn't know that I specifically excluded him from being evaluated as being cunning in his scams..
I pretended not to hear and introduced Berserker..
“You know Berserker, right? He's crazy. Just assume you can't communicate normally..”
“As always, when I hear things like that from you, I feel like there's something wrong with the world..”
“Yeah, you're a villain.”
And I am a superhuman belonging to the country..
If you're dissatisfied, why don't you go back to the past and become a civil servant hunter?.
Anyway, after my introduction, the two exchanged greetings..
“…….”
Sparks fly from the beginning.
I, a normal person, had to find balance between the crazy and the weird, but it didn't seem easy..
These guys have such outstanding personalities..
Anyway, my role ended with helping the two meet..
At first glance, James Reed's purpose was obvious..
Is it America after Japan? It remains to be seen what choice Berserker will make..
“Then let’s talk comfortably.”
I felt like it was going to be a bother, so my choice was to escape the awkward situation..
* * *
When Choi Jun-ho went out, James Reed's eyes sparkled..
Berserker is a villain whose name we have heard for a long time..
It's a nickname that can be considered crazy, but Berserker's reputation in the U.S. is surprisingly generous..
He has a tendency to fall into the category of moderate evil rather than evil, and if it had been in the United States, he would have been recognized as a superman with a unique personality rather than a villain..
Of course, the standard was close..
However, with the advent of Choi Jun-ho, the tolerance limit increased to near infinity..
Has there been a consensus that everyone can be accepted as long as they are not affiliated with the league and have Choi Jun-ho’s personality?.
“Do you have something to say??”
“Yes.”
How should I tell him to come to America?.
Berserker's eerie voice penetrated James Reed's pondering ears..
“Let’s give it a try first..”
“uh?”
“In the first place, you only have to hang out once to have honest conversations. Don't worry. It's only a minor broken bone, and even if it's severe, only one or two limbs will be blown off. You can stick it if you take emergency measures quickly..”
“…….”
James Reed is speechless.
Choi Jun-ho left and was caught off guard for a moment..
‘This guy is also fucking crazy.!’
In a way, it was natural for there to be a crazy person next to a crazy person..
