The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 122

122fury

‘The best gift for a married man is for his wife to go to her parents' house and have some alone time..’

When I first heard that, I was shocked. That's the answer I got from Berserker, a married man, on how to seduce Cheon Myeong-guk..

I asked if it was real.

Then Berserker answered with a serious expression..

‘Do as I say. If I'm wrong, you can hit me..’

…I had a bad attitude, so I was planning to hit him regardless of the outcome..

But the result was beyond imagination.

The stubborn Cheon Myeong-guk was short on worries and made decisions quickly..

It's completely different from his usual cautious appearance..

[It is an all-purpose keyword that can persuade a married man..]

Berserker, you can't underestimate him. Still, I did something, so I'll give it a try..

Anyway, I succeeded in persuading Cheon Myung-guk..

The next day, I decided to go straight to Cheon Myeong-guk's gift search..

“Please, gently, gently.”

“don't worry.”

If anyone sees it, they'll think I'm eating it. Did I not give you that much confidence? All it does is drill a small hole next to the heart. When the restorative agent is used, only a very small wound mark is left that is barely visible..

At that time, I heard a somewhat awkward voice next to me..

“…But is it right for me to be like this?.”

The owner of the voice was the president. In his hand was a restorative medicine..

“The fewer people who know your secret, the better..”

“That's true, but it's awkward because I've never done anything like this before..”

“you can do it well.”

“I will do my best, Director Cheon. Don't be too scared.”

“…Yeah, yeah.”

Cheon Myeong-guk was already out of his mind..

No, you're saying that because there's something scary about putting just one finger near the heart.?

If I told you that you have to beat your heart when copying gifts, I would faint..

“You can spray it when I pull out my finger..”

“I understand. But I have a question, can I ask you??”

“Tell me.”

“They're drilling a hole next to the heart, so wouldn't it be okay to use anesthesia??”

“…ah!”

“…….”

There was silence for a moment..

The President had a curious expression, and Cheon Myeong-guk had an expression of realizing something he did not know..

me?

Of course I didn't know. It would be right to say that I didn't think about it because I didn't have holes in my body..

And with just this much pain?

It is normal for an awakened person to have a few holes in their body..

Even Cheon Myung-guk would accept that much..

“It takes a long time to prepare, so let's just go ahead and do it..”

“Now, wait! Still, anesthesia... omg!”

Without wasting too much time, I stuck my finger into Cheon Myeong-guk’s chest..

The moist, rich feel that passes through your fingertips is evidence of healthy blood. Although I complain of stress every day, my health is fine..

I smiled and waited until my fingers were sufficiently wet before pulling them out..

“Manager Cheon! Don't worry! I'm using it properly!”

I brought blood to my mouth as I watched the president hurriedly use the restorative medicine..

It is revealed here that Cheon Myeong-guk lived faithfully throughout his life..

There were quite a few potential gifts..

What stood out were 'Illustrative Progress', which improves performance in one field, 'Prediction', which combines information in a short period of time and allows you to see the situation immediately after, and 'Yeontu', which allows you to sustain combat power with an abundance of force..

It is a gift that is not easy to open in full. All three are things that shine in a combat situation..

It all seemed unsuitable for Cheon Myeong-guk, who is currently not active in the field..

Then there was a gift that caught my eye at the end..

“simulation.”

It is a higher-level gift than expected, but it is a gift that is difficult to manifest without a wealth of study, practical experience, and practical elements. It's close to foresight, but since it's actually created based on elements, the hit rate will be higher..

A unique gift in terms of grade?

Instead, it is not a combat gift, and it is known to have significant recoil due to handling a large amount of information..

Cheon Myeong-guk, who was frowning due to the pain he felt in his chest, looked surprised when he heard what I said..

“What you just said…….”

“There were several potential gifts.”

They talk about progress, predictions, and fighting, and when simulation is mentioned at the end, their wide eyes become even wider..

I guess I didn't know there were so many gifts for me..

Cheon Myeong-guk’s choice was also a simulation..

“…Since it is a simulation, I think it is a suitable gift for me at the moment..”

The president next to me offered congratulations..

“Congratulations, you found the gift you needed..”

“thank you!”

“So what efforts should Director Cheon make to open the gift?.”

“You just have to work harder.”

“yes?”

“huh?”

They both looked puzzled at the same time..

Anyone who sees it will think I said something wrong..

But isn’t this natural?.

“Gifts are stimulated when they coincide with similar situations. So, you just need to be given a task that matches the situation so that the simulation can wake up..”

To put it bluntly, I was just saying to roll with it..

Even more intense than now.

These were not two people who did not know the meaning of these words..

Naturally, the facial expressions contrasted sharply..

“Now, wait a minute…….”

Why is Cheon Myeong-guk looking at me with a betrayed expression??

Oh right.

My wife decided to go to her parents’ house..

Then I'll be alone, so won't I be lonely?.

I would be less lonely if I was with work..

Getting rid of loneliness is a mountain of work and hellish training..

I think Berserker had something to say about alone time to a married man, but I'm not a married man so I don't know..

The president quickly accepted my words..

“I understand! I'm willing to be a bad boss for Director Cheon..”

“Please.”

Having demonstrated my skill of passing it on to the president, I chose to retreat..

They'll take care of the rest..

“Then I'll leave.”

“You devil! Villain! Headbreaker! Berserker-like person!”

…Are you crossing the line? Did I do something that bad?.

I left the screaming Cheon Myeong-guk and went out..

But this thought occurred to me.

Simulate this gift.

For some reason, it seems to be consistent with the big picture of the grand compromise that Cheon Myeong-guk used to drive me out..

I guess he realized the gift late in his last life and used it on me.?

Oh, no way.

I felt uncomfortable for no reason..

* * *

A few days later, two types of documents about Ryu Gwang-cheol were placed in front of me..

It was information about Ryu Gwang-cheol that came from the United States and was provided by the government. I compared the two.

“It's similar overall..”

Ryu Gwang-cheol is 62 years old and is a man who has been on the elite course since the days when the North Korean regime was in power..

He is filled with the consciousness of the chosen people to his core and calls himself the leader of the people..

It has been revealed in the United States that he believes he has founded his own kingdom and that he absolutely does not want a relationship that is tilted towards any country..

The nickname was given as a Tamer, but the Gift was judged to be a little weaker than that, and it is said that in order to enter Ryu Gwang-cheol's territory, you have to pass through the monster's curtain, making it virtually impossible to conquer..

However, the gift is not omnipotent, and it was written that significant limitations were expected in controlling monsters..

If your skills had improved, the utility of the gift would have also increased..

The informants said that since they do not engage in outside activities, it is impossible to obtain any further information..

After that, it was listed in various activities carried out by Ryu Gwang-cheol..

Forcibly kidnapping surviving residents, subjecting them to forced labor, forced experiments, and throwing away rebellious residents as food for monsters..

My impressions after reading it were simple..

“He's cheap to kill.”

No, this is the villain of villains.?

For a moment I reflected.

I thought hematoma was the worst, but this guy was also worst in another way..

I thought that Ryu Gwang-ho might hold a grudge if I killed him recklessly..

But if what's written in the document is true, there won't be a problem if I kill you right in front of you..

But why didn’t I recognize the existence of Ryu Gwang-cheol in my last life?.

When he was a member of the royal family, he went north and crossed the Yalu River, so his territory would have overlapped with that of Ryu Gwang-cheol..

What that means is that if you leave it alone, something bad will happen..

The changes I made in this life were so great that there was no guarantee that they would proceed..

Moreover, Ryu Gwang-cheol's gift seemed to be different from what I expected..

“Communicating with monsters is no different..”

Did you say you want to manipulate monsters as you please? Did you say you want to communicate with monsters?.

If a monster is useless even if it's alive and won't obey you, it's best to die and leave behind its bones, skin, and heart..

The best thing is to make them obey through mastery of brainwashing, but the hostility toward humans implanted in the monster's consciousness makes that difficult..

When did that cult leader take root? It would be nice to find it now and get all the know-how, but since it is not established, it would be difficult to find it..

I'll have to release some people soon..

I was thinking of using the solitude I took from Namgoonggi, so I've been diligently feeding him Force these days..

As I thought about it, I took out a brown pill from my pocket. After returning, I injected force from time to time, and each time I received it with pleasure and grew..

Even now, I feel good about putting force into it..

“I need to try it out.”

Otherwise, it's not worth existing..

“Let's pay for a meal.”

It's squirming inside as if it understands what I'm saying..

It meant showing off more force..

I don't know what kind of guts this guy has..

“Yeah, eat as much as you want..”

Is this an investment?.

I guess this is what investing at the bottom is like.?

I might be a big hit in the future, so I’ll fool you once..

* * *

In the meantime, something unexpected happened..

Jeong Da-hyeon left the National Defense Bureau and moved to the National Front Defense Agency..

I thought I would still be in charge of the villain task force..

When he was in the National Defense Bureau, he showed affection for him, and he was very wary of getting entangled with his uncle, Jeong Joo-ho..

It was all my mistake.

“I didn't know I would change affiliation..”

“Apparently, the National Defense Bureau specializes in dealing with villains rather than monsters. It seems better to act quickly than to cause harm to those around you..”

“That's right.”

However, what was unique was that it was the National Front Defense Agency, not a department specializing in dealing with monsters like the Anti-Demon Defense Front Department..

Of course, since this place oversees the three kingdoms, the range of movement is wide, so it is a better choice.,

However, it is a problem because words can come out from Dahyun Jeong’s perspective..

“It was moved because of Commissioner Jeong.?”

“yes that's right.”

“Don’t you usually like moving things like this??”

“What do you think?.”

huh? This was not the reaction of the Jeong Da-hyun I knew. He usually showed a self-interested attitude out of fear of being found out..

I looked at him with a puzzled expression and saw Jeong Da-hyun smiling..

“I used to pay attention too, but now that I'm trying to focus on training, I feel like it's a luxury to worry about such things. So I decided to give up thinking deeply..”

“okay?”

“yes. An efficient method was visible in front of me, but I couldn't accept it because of my pride, reputation, and the opinions of those around me. Then this thought occurred to me. Will this help me? After thinking about it for three days, the conclusion I came to was ‘no.’ So I decided to change my mind. Let's be shameless. Regardless of what others think, after I have what I want, I think about it like this..”

“good idea.”

It was a minor change in thinking, but the broadening of my thinking opened up possibilities in more directions..

Jeong Da-hyun’s words continued..

“And the National Front Defense Agency can catch villains while hunting monsters. Commissioner, you can give me more roles..”

“That's right.”

Joo-ho Jeong That guy is just losing his head, but he trusts and entrusts a lot of things to his subordinates..

Since someone as talented as Jeong Da-hyun came voluntarily, of course they would welcome it..

However, since one of the team leaders moved to another department, the National Security Bureau suffered a significant loss..

These days, I'm barely stepping into the National Security Bureau, and Oh Jong-su, who was in charge of telephone work, has also been talked about moving to the office where Choi Jun-ho's team is located soon..

“There will be information about the Northward Expedition soon..”

“yes.”

“There are a lot of monsters in the northern plains as well. There will be plenty of hunting opportunities..”

Currently, monsters are under control in the territory of the Republic of Korea except mountainous areas..

However, North Korea had been neglected for decades, so it was safe to say that the entire territory was a den of monsters..

Jeong Da-hyun's eyes actually sparkled at the words that could have scared her..

“I'm looking forward.”

“You can look forward to it.”

If you don't stay alert, the hunt that will kill you will begin right away..

I was excited to see how much Dahyun Jeong would grow as she faced off against monsters..

* * *

The reason the government chose Kaesong as a base for advancing north is simple..

It is located just east of the Yeonbaek Plain, and transportation is developed so the party responsible for advancing north can make flexible decisions..

Although it has the disadvantage of not being a suitable terrain for defense, it took a long time to build a defense system and was the most useful northernmost base and fortress among the territories currently occupied by the Republic of Korea..

The first goal of the northward advance policy is to seize the Yeonbaek Plain, and furthermore, the strategic goal is to seize the Jaeryong Plain and the Pyongyang Plain..

It was judged that if we could stabilize this area, known as North Korea's three major plains, we could aim to increase food production and unite people scattered throughout North Korea..

However, in the case of Pyongyang, a large number of monsters were gathered so that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is currently a gathering place for monsters..

“Since there are a lot of monsters, there is a high probability that it is Ryu Gwang-cheol's base..”

The government is speculating that Ryu Gwang-cheol may have established his own territory here in Pyongyang..

I took the most valuable land..

The government has declared an all-out war to occupy these three plains and is in contact with several large corporations and large guilds..

Large companies that were hit by the league crisis prepared large-scale investments to secure new investment sources, and large guilds also responded positively to secure interests..

It was time to gradually increase power in the north..

A completely unexpected guest visited Kaesong and headed to Seoul..

They called themselves ‘the later Foreign Minister of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’..

The Blue House's reaction was fierce..

“This is unexpected.”

“I think they predicted the northward advance and moved first..”

“Are you here to check on us??”

“yes. There is a high probability that they will induce an illusion and threaten you through bravado..”

“Even so, it is only a small force. In the past, that might have been too much, but not now..”

And then the president looks at my face. What did you ask?.

“Because I have solid insurance.”

“That's correct.”

Now I also receive insurance coverage. Cheon Myeong-guk, who sympathizes next to me, looks disgusting today..

“First, let’s listen to what North Korea has to say..”

“yes.”

It took no time for the North Korean party to arrive at the Blue House. Even though he has nothing, he maintains a dignified posture as he comes in..

The one standing in the lead was a thin man with a skeleton covered in leather. His eyes were sharp and his posture was well-defined..

Is there a song that survived the monster’s den?.

The President stepped forward and extended his hand to the man..

“I am Jeon Han-cheol, the President of the Republic of Korea..”

“I am Ri Yu-chol, Foreign Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea..”

He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but his skills are considerable.?

Looking at the evaluation here, I would say it's about level 7..

The atmosphere of the first conversation was friendly..

Ri Yu-cheol said that we should improve our relationship by giving each other what we want, and the president responded to this..

What North Korea could offer was the monster's heart and by-products. Instead, they wanted food and awakened equipment..

And he asked the president to stop the preparations for advancing north..

The president neither confirmed nor denied this..

“We will take control of the territory that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has not claimed..”

“That territory is also our territory that requested the Democratic People's Republic of Korea..”

“Are you going to force yourself to claim something you can't get right away??”

“Should I now say that he is coveting our territory??”

“…….”

The once friendly atmosphere turned ugly..

From the beginning, there was a gap that could not be bridged..

The president may have been trying to gauge the thoughts of Ryu Gwang-chol, who calls himself a descendant of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Ri Yu-chol may have been trying to figure out how far we want to go..

The results revealed only differences in thinking..

Neither the President nor Ri Yu-cheol showed any sign of backing down..

“I don't think the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will have the power to stop us..”

“there is.”

As I thought, my speech started to become shorter..

Ri Yu-cheol declared to the president with a stern expression..

“South Korea should know that if they step into the territory of our Republic without knowing that tigers are scary, not only Kaesong but even Seoul could be trampled by a million monsters..”

The choice of words is grand when it comes to asking for food and weapons..

I heard that bullshit and said something.

“Don't you think that a lightning bolt will hit your head and disintegrate it into pieces??”
