The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 15

15fury

Joo-ho Jeong has revealed that he has been quietly tracking down the expunger..

Appearance of an unidentified level 8 villain.

It was a major crisis that could lead to the destruction of a country..

After the mass evaporation of the villain organization Big Ten, Jung Joo-ho said that he followed them through cooperation with the National Intelligence Service, but failed to find any traces..

But it doesn't mean there were no results..

“Recently, information came in that organizations in Siheung and Gunpo were holding a meeting. And we captured the circumstances in which the information on the eraser was mentioned. The league was also mentioned here..”

“······!”

Everyone looked shocked.

Even Jeong Da-hyun.

Is it because of the expunger? Or because of the word league.?

Jeong Joo-ho continued speaking without even having time to answer my questions..

“Combining what the two organizations said, they said they knew about the Eradicator. The two cities' villain response teams will move first to check whether that is true and how much contact they have with the league. and we.”

Jeong Joo-ho stopped speaking, looked around, and then said:.

“Catch the eraser who will come out guided by the information.”

“Director, we can't catch a level 8 villain..”

“I'm not telling you to catch it. In the first place, the likelihood of an expunger coming out is low. We are preparing for any emergency. By any chance, if the Eradicator appears, we will also have level 8 hunters..”

Everyone's expressions brightened at those words..

I felt absolute trust in the level 8 hunter from my colleagues.

Is level 8 really that great?.

I was curious to what level it would be.

“get everyone ready.”

With the answer, the National Protection Agency hunters began to move..

* * *

Starting with Jeong Joo-ho's declaration, I learned in what form the erasers were being tracked..

The ultimate goal of the National Intelligence Service, which was chasing the traces of the eraser, was ‘appeasement’..

Level 8 villains are walking disasters that can destroy an entire city if not dealt with early..

Even though they committed massacre, the people killed by the Eradicator are villains. There was the Deputy Mayor of Ansan among them, but the value of a level 8 awakened person was so high that even that could be ignored..

But even as time passed, no trace could be found. The last report was that it seemed to have literally evaporated..

Meanwhile, the word 'League' and the word 'Eradicator' appeared at the villain's meeting..

It was the judgment of Jeong Joo-ho and the National Intelligence Service that the combination of the two words could shake up the order of the Republic of Korea..

“An expunger may emerge after hearing his name being sold..”

not very likely.

So, the villain response teams from Siheung City and Gunpo City were dispatched to eliminate the villain organization, and Jeong Da-hyun and I were dispatched as reserve forces and liaisons..

“When the Eradicator appears, never confront it head on. Contact me first and stay as far away as possible..”

That was our mission..

Many of the villains operating secretly inside the city were petty criminals, but clearing out villains on the outskirts of the city and in areas beyond the control of the state was akin to war..

In particular, they are big players in the black market, making money by distributing not only firearms but also monster hearts and various by-products..

The way to weaken the villain organization is to eliminate this black market. However, all kinds of interests are intertwined in the black market that was formed to avoid the law, making it difficult to control..

Wouldn’t it be okay to just ignorantly push it away? When I said that, Dahyun Jeong shook her head..

“I don't know how much power will be gathered together in this faction. Villains who are hostile to each other also obtain goods through the black market, so they will join forces to eliminate the black market. This is an action that goes against the grand strategy of the National Defense Bureau..”

It divides people so they can't unite, makes them distrustful, and subdues them without harm..

That is the method of subduing villains advocated by the National Defense Bureau..

From that perspective, black market raids bring together forces rather than divide them..

But I think it's the surest way to weaken the villain..

“If I were given sole operational authority, I would like to try it. I'll do my best.”

“Am I not allowed to do this??”

“To do that, he needs to be promoted, but Mr. Junho has too many cases of excessive suppression, so promotion is a bit difficult.······.”

I definitely see why it doesn't work..

Aside, two villain organizations are currently meeting on the border between Siheung City and Ansan City..

The expungement team and the league were mentioned, but the reason for the meeting was the disappearance of the Ansan organization Big Ten..

Villains began to move to occupy the space left by Lee Kwon..

Jeong Da-hyun and I waited outside Siheung City..

“······.”

I was watching what was going on.

I was concerned that they mentioned erasure at a meeting in Ansan..

It doesn't matter if it's a simple impersonation. When I was a hematologist, there were many people who committed crimes in my name. In the end, he was arrested or died by my hands..

But the problem was the evidence that might remain out of my reach..

I cleaned it up pretty hard..

I admit it honestly..

In the past, I was crazy and had no intention of hiding or erasing any traces. Occasionally, when I came back to my senses, I erased it, but it was only enough to slightly delay the chase, and it was hard to say that I had reached an expert level. I didn't know there might be traces left somewhere..

In the end, what I will do is decided. It is to check the information of the eraser who will appear at the villain meeting..

“Junho thinks the Eradicator will appear.?”

“I don't think it will show up.”

“I feel the same way..”

I remembered that Jeong Da-hyun was in charge of conducting the scene at the time. Why does she think the Eradicator won't show up??

“The Eradicator does not want his identity to be revealed. So, despite the inconvenience, I chose ‘evaporation’..”

“······.”

“Probably killed them all. She still hasn't found the body. He is a creepy, cruel and dangerous villain. He must be caught..”

Seeing Jeong Da-hyun speaking with a stern expression reminded me of my past life..

What happens if it turns out that I am an eraser? Do you think I'm a villain? I didn't want to find out and confirm it..

One thing became clear.

There is nothing good about the evidence of the expunged being revealed..

“The radio hasn't come in since a while ago..”

“Iknow, right. What happened?.”

“I'll go see it.”

“Why not wait a little longer??”

I shook my head..

“In a mop-up operation, time is money. We will go to the nearby area to take a look and contact you if anything goes wrong..”

“all right.”

After getting Jeong Da-hyun's consent, I opened the door and went out..

The cold air scratched my skin. It seemed like he was criticizing me for creating a false identity. I checked the radio as I headed to the meeting place..

Even though the promised time had passed, no contact was received, and there was no response to this call either..

Then, when I arrived near the factory, a radio call came..

As expected, a problem arose. The other person said he could not be contacted and asked for help in an urgent voice. I moved when I saw that the radio was dead..

When I arrived near the meeting place, a person covered in blood and torn arms approached me..

“Are you a support person? My name is Kwak Young-sik, head of the Gunpo City Villain Response Team..”

“This is Choi Jun-ho of the Villain Task Force..”

“Are you here alone??”

“yes. I came first because I couldn't communicate with the contact team..”

“ah!”

Kwak Young-sik seemed to have a gloomy expression, perhaps because he felt that he lacked power..

“How are things going??”

“I was ambushed. There were twice as many villains hidden there as previously reported. Although we fought hard, over 20 people were killed and 30 were taken prisoner..”

“Was there an eraser??”

“I didn't see the eraser..”

“So it was a meeting of a large organization. They were caught by the bait they threw and were wiped out..”

“yes.”

Kwak Young-sik bowed his head..

I watched and said.

“can you guide me?”

“Without going back??”

“First, I will check how many villains there are and report back. Please guide me..”

“···All right.”

Following the reluctant guidance of Kwak Young-sik, I arrived near the abandoned factory where the two villain organizations were located..

There was blood that had not yet dried on the cement floor, as if a fierce battle had taken place a while ago. More than ten people were standing guard outside the factory..

“The rest is in there. The number will be over 50.”

“okay.”

“Won't you go back now??”

My eyes and Kwak Young-sik collided in the air..

Knowing the ‘anxiety’ that was always lingering behind his eyes, I took the first step..

“what is this······!”

Kwak Yeong-sik, who was shocked, tried to escape, but my hand touched his stomach first. The powerful mine pierced his skin and crushed his ribs, intestines, and spine..

Unable to overcome the aftermath, Kwak Young-sik's eyes trembled as he looked at the gaping ship..

“You betrayed and sold out your colleagues..”

“······!”

“If you've been betrayed more than 10 times, you'll see it all.”

Kwak Yeong-sik, unable to hear my words to the end, stopped breathing and fell to the floor..

I learned that the most common reason why civil servant hunters die from villains is when there is a traitor within them. Kwak Young-sik made her appearance look attractive, but was unable to control the emotions that existed beyond her eyes..

Now the conditions are ready to move alone..

“It doesn't work.”

I radioed to Jeong Da-hyun to secure time, but it didn't work..

If I can't contact you, I'll suspect radio wave interference and take action..

That meant there wasn't much time left..

The number of villains is about 50..

I am the only civil servant hunter.

This is a good situation for an unexpected accident to occur..

“I need to do it quickly..”

* * *

What surprised me the most after becoming a civil servant hunter was that I valued the villain's life more than I thought..

To be precise, he did not like it when awakened people belonging to the state were reported in the media due to excessive suppression..

So, the best is to capture them alive, the next best is to arrest them so that their lives are not in danger, the worst is to arrest them even if they injure them, and the worst is to die or miss them during arrest..

But there are exceptions everywhere.

During a secret operation, you will not be reprimanded even if you kill the villain on the spot when your own life is judged to be in danger..

After becoming a civil servant hunter, I have yet to officially kill a villain..

So, wouldn't it be accepted that even if I kill all the villains here, it is inevitable self-defense??

Still, he went to great lengths to save the villains and arrest them..

Or not.

I had no intention of saving it from the beginning anyway..

After taking care of the villains at the entrance, I went inside and didn't hesitate..

“monster, monster!”

The process was the same: at first they rushed in with excitement, but when more than ten people died, they became overcome with fear. But it couldn't pass me by as I was occupying the direction of the entrance..

I believe in the word repentance. But almost everyone thinks it is impossible to repent.

A miracle happened to me and I returned to the past before I committed my sins, but that opportunity is not given to others..

A villain is literally just a villain..

It is much more efficient to prevent accidents by killing them than to help society by keeping them alive. This is the conclusion I came to.

“No time. Let's finish it.”

I approached, leaving only the bosses of the two organizations behind. As I approached, shaking off the sticky blood, the two became thoughtful and retreated..

“Oh, don't come! I know there's someone behind us?”

“The Eradicator is behind us..”

The Eradicator is in front of you now..

“Tell me what you know about the Eradicator. If it's useful, I'll save it for you..”

“I think I'll tell you······.”

Quad Deuk!

I broke the heart of a guy who only spoke loudly..

After pushing the crumbling corpse away with his feet, he habitually licked the blood from his hands and spat it out. Gift stamina boost? This is my first time seeing a trash gift like this..

I looked at the remaining boss..

“Actually, I'm not that curious. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.”

“I will tell you everything. So save me!”

“say it.”

“Burr, Berserker is chasing the Eradicator.!”

A completely unexpected name popped out..

“Berserker?”

“Berserker said he had a way to obtain information about the Eradicator and told us to spread the rumor. He said that if the Eradicator appears, he will deal with it. He said he would like to see the expunger.”

“······.”

This is a trend I never expected..

Berserker and I meet for the first time 15 years after my last life..

Who would have thought that bringing up the name of the Eradicator was Berserker's intention?.

All the puzzles were solved and I had no more questions..

“Thanks for telling me. Then let's finish it.”

“Me, I know more! So save me.”

“Nope.”

“Wow!”

This was when I reached over the head of the guy who was crawling on the floor..

“Stop, Choi Jun-ho!”

With a heavy voice, Jung Joo-ho's new brother came out and separated the boss. And I blocked my hand, where the aftereffects of power had not been resolved, with a sword sheath filled with strong power..

Crying!

The mines became entangled and intense explosions occurred one after another. The blue force crumbled into lumps and turned the scattered corpses into a mess..

When I saw Jung Joo-ho's face, I stepped back without using my hands anymore. My grip was quite numb..

I thought he was a smart snake, but his skills were also great..

“This guy knows information about the League and the Eradicator. I will take charge of this guy from now on. Are you okay??”

“Yes, Director..”

I didn't want to use my hands anymore so I raised my arms up..

“You made quite a mess..”

Jeong Joo-ho sighed as he looked at the factory full of corpses with broken heads..

While I also raised one arm,.

Did you think it was fortunate that at least one person was saved?.

It was really unfortunate..

puck!

“······.”

Jeong Joo-ho turned his head back and his expression hardened. The boss I was trying to save was dead with his head half broken..
