The crazy villain regains his senses - Episode 159
159fury
I returned home and told Yunhee that I would be away for a few days. The guy who usually said that kind of thing looked at me with a puzzled expression this time..
“Secret mission suddenly like this?”
“Uh, I'm going to visit for a few days..”
“Is there a problem with North Korea? I heard there is no problem anymore..”
Is it because you're worried about me? You're all grown up. Now you're worried about me.
“What's wrong with your face? Unlucky.”
“…….”
Well then. It was a mistake to be impressed, even if it was only for a moment..
“Please tell me the reason quickly.”
“It's nothing special.”
As Yunhee said, North Korea is quite stable..
All the necessary strategic points have been secured, and a large number of medium-sized and small guilds are heading north and focusing on eliminating monsters..
As a result, Kaesong, the northern base, is enjoying a tremendous boom. Even though the government tried to develop Kaesong as its main force, it failed to do so, but now that it has taken the opportunity and grown explosively, there are quite a few people who are disappointed..
“They say there are troublesome guys hiding in various places..”
“okay? It might be annoying.”
I think Yunhee asked the question without much thought in the first place. Then I turned my attention to the dog waiting next to me..
“That doesn't matter. Why are you trying to take our Yeppi away??”
Here, Yeppi was Yoon Hee-sik's name for the monster I named Dog-meong..
I told him that I had chosen a catchy name like ‘Dogmeong’, but I was criticized for having no sense..
Is this really strange? When I look at it, it seems memorable and sticks in my mouth..
By the way, after hearing the name Yeppi, I don't think Yunhee's naming sense is anything to criticize me about..
Rather, isn’t a dog better??
[You're probably the only one who thinks it's okay.]
Then Yeppi?
[It's proof that you are brother and sister..]
Yongyong, this bastard... You got it right.
Actually, I still think the doggie is better..
Even if I tell Yunhee, she won't understand, so I guess I'll just move on..
“Why are you taking me away??”
“Since I am the owner, I have to take him with me..”
“Are you taking this little child all that way? I'm going to reject this!”
Since when did you care so much about monsters?.
Part of the reason I want to take the dog with me is because I am the owner, but part of the reason is that I want to make sure I can properly follow the dog while going on a long-distance expedition. If the owner can't follow the path he wants to take, it's better to deal with it early..
Even though I insisted several times, Yunhee nodded as if she knew she couldn't break my will..
“You have to come back without a single hair getting hurt! Yeppi, if the owner tries to touch it, it runs away and comes to me.!”
Well, if you handle it, it might not hurt a single hair..
“At that time, worry about your brother..”
“I'm a human being who gets hurt?”
“Then I won't get hurt?.”
“It could have hurt you?”
“What kind of monster am I??”
When I think about it, the dog is a monster, but I have a lot of worries, and I am a human, but I don't have a single thing to worry about. I feel like I'm being treated worse than a monster..
“These days, I feel even more sorry for monsters..”
I'm also someone who sometimes wants to be worried..
[Say something that makes sense.]
“…….”
He is in a sad life, not recognized by his own brother or his shinsu..
I guess I'll have to give up worrying in this life..
* * *
Heading straight north, I passed through Kaesong and headed to Pyongyang..
Pyongyang, where Ryu Kwang-cheol's traces still remain, was still infested with demons..
I heard that the government was going to completely clear the road to Pyongyang with the help of a large guild, and on the way, I dealt with a level 8 harmful monster and entered Pyongyang..
The city I arrived in after a long time was more vibrant than before..
That means Jung Joo-ho is doing well. It's like Jeong Joo-ho who writes with trust..
Even though he grumbles, he is doing more than his role. He was performing his role 200% perfectly in an isolated situation with only a small number of people..
I met with Chung Ju-ho at the Presidential Palace and delivered a personal letter from the President..
I don't know the contents. Well, I'm having a hard time, please work harder in the future, something like this..
Jung Joo-ho, who read everything, sighed lightly and glared at me..
“What kind of face did you come with??”
Why is it like that all of a sudden??
[That person must have been under a lot of stress. The hair roots are weaker.]
“…….”
Suddenly it all makes sense.
I could see why Jung Joo-ho was on edge at what Yongyong said. As he was doing well in Pyongyang, his hair roots must have been dealing with the stress..
If it breaks here, there will be no turning back..
No, is it already too late?.
Is there really no way??
I once again asked Yongyong how to overcome hair loss..
[That's impossible?]
Too bad. At this level, I can't help but think there is no real way..
I secretly sent condolences to the roots of Jung Joo-ho’s hair..
“I came here because I had some work to do in the north..”
“…Isn’t there anything interfering with work in China? Who made you feel uncomfortable??”
“That's not it.”
Everyone, including the president, thinks I'm going to kill everyone if I mess up..
100%I can admit that it's not 90%, but if you think of that as everything, it's a bit sad..
[What difference does that make??]
Still, one out of ten can survive, right? What a difference it is that even one can survive..
[Stop with the sophistry!]
Yongyong seemed to have no intention of understanding this huge difference..
“It's a bit odd, so I thought I'd take a look..”
“I don't know since when killing someone became an outing, but figure it out. I feel sorry for the other guy..”
Jung Joo-ho also seemed to be moving on without asking any more questions. Then he turned his gaze to the dog, which was furiously wagging its tail..
“What's the dog next to you? You look cute. Come here, jjujju!”
“It's a monster. I'm in the process of taming it..”
“…okay?”
Jeong Joo-ho, who was reaching out for the dog, stopped and hastily withdrew his hand. Everyone's reactions are dramatically different when they see it as a dog and when they realize it's a monster..
“After hearing what you said, this little guy suddenly looks dangerous..”
“It's not very dangerous. Weak.”
“Is that so??”
A typical example was when he clung to my leg and fawned over me. This dog had amazing survival instincts..
Jung Joo-ho also relaxed his guard, as if he did not feel any threat..
“How is the situation in the north??”
“After the hideout was completely robbed, it became quiet. China is facing a power shortage right now. It's a situation where we're in a hurry to put out the lights on our feet..”
“What did you say about Wei Hao Geon?.”
“It probably doesn't reflect Yu Hao's opinion..”
It's quite surprising to see Jung Joo-ho speak in defense.?
“I guess you know Yu Hao well..”
“Uh, there was an uproar in the north some time ago and they came to settle it. They politely asked for our understanding and said they had no intention of provoking us. It's the first time I've seen a Chinese do that. People are very polite.”
It was like that. I thought there would be a lot of regrets because she was in her early teens, but it was unexpected..
China's chronic problem here is the lack of high-level awakened people..
In particular, the number of superhumans was insufficient. At the time, when there were six superhumans, they shouted that there were ten superhumans in total, including those who were hiding, but now that the number has been reduced to three, they are in a situation where they cannot even bluff..
It's a comedy that I took care of those three. Including Zhang Wuyuan and his younger brother, there are a total of five people..
A representative example was the fact that Yu Hao, who had been stationed far away due to a lack of power, eventually came..
“Aside from that, the leadership is in a situation where they have lost their footing since you accepted level 9..”
Yu Hao, who was called the pride of China, was a propaganda piece for the Chinese government. However, he suffered a huge blow to his self-esteem when he was semi-forcibly eliminated from the top teens position..
Since we are a people who live by pride and die by pride, it was taken as a serious insult or something..
So the hardliners still insist that we should march south to Mt. Baekdu..
Yu Hao revealed that he had no such thoughts..
I don't know who is right. Is this a slash-and-burn strategy?.
“Oh, this is just an opinion, so don't worry about it..”
“All right.”
If anyone sees it, it will look like they are trying to find and kill each and every one of them..
The bottom line is that the leadership and Yu Hao have different ideas..
I typed that out and asked another question..
“Is there any other news around Sinuiju??”
“Sinuiju? Sinuiju is a place that was affected a while ago, but I remember it not being a big deal. Does coming this time have something to do with that??”
“yes.”
“Umm. Now that I think about it, I think I heard that there is something similar to a cult..”
This was the information I was looking for. It's a small issue that Jung Joo-ho can't even remember, but after a few years, it becomes big enough to be ignored..
“That's right.”
“I heard it's gone now.”
huh? This is a different story than I thought.
Rather than running around wildly,?
Did Chung Ju-ho disappear when he came to Pyongyang? Or did Yu Hao come and take him out??
“It really doesn't exist, right??”
“I don't know because I haven't been there either. If the local residents agree with each other and keep quiet, we won't have anything else to look for..”
That is still the extent of its influence on Sinuiju. We are engaged in a fierce battle of wits with China..
In the end, I have to go to find out..
The information was poor, but we confirmed the reality, so this is enough..
“All right. I'll go there and take a look at the rest..”
“…Please don't cause an accident. huh?”
“I came because I didn't want to cause an accident. Thanks to this, my story is not mentioned in the political world..”
“Why are politicians so considerate but not me?!”
“That's because it's convenient for the commissioner.?”
“No matter how much I think about it, it's clear that I sold my country twice in my past life. Otherwise, I wouldn't be bothered by my wife at home or by you outside..”
I wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry about that..
But isn't it natural for humans to want to torment them even more when they hear those words??
[Hey, that's probably not it?]
Yongyong, why are you suddenly fighting?.
['Cause I felt like teasing you too!]
Wow, I didn't know that I would agree with Shinsoo..
“and…….”
Jung Joo-ho trailed off and looked at me wondering something..
Then Jung Joo-ho asked me with a sad smile..
“Even divine water can't stop hair loss.?”
“…….”
I thought ignorance was medicine. I guess he remembers asking me to ask Shinsu for directions..
I answered with silence.
and.
Shinsu, who suddenly couldn't cure his hair loss, muttered with an absurd expression when he saw Jeong Joo-ho's sad smile..
[That's why not having hair is such a sad thing.?]
Well, I don't know because I have a brain..
* * *
As I headed to Sinuiju, I remembered how I got brainwashing in my last life..
There was no particular reason why I met the guy who was the cult leader at the time..
After Cheon Myeong-guk's great compromise, I was repeatedly pushed back to the north, and in the process, I went in and out of the Chinese side of the border and returned to the south..
At the time, I was just following the hematoma's lead, so it wasn't my will acting on it. But now that I think about it, I think that my decision to head south may have been partly due to my own will. My whole family was in Korea, and I had to be nearby to see them at least once..
Now that I think about it, I think the reason I didn't meet Ryu Gwang-cheol was because there was no need to clash with monsters..
I met the cult leader when I crossed the Chinese border..
At that time, Sinuiju was engulfed in huge fanaticism, and it did not discriminate between North Koreans and Chinese people..
He was a living god there..
“He was a shallow guy..”
The intention of the guy who invited me was obvious, as if he had heard about the hematoma's reputation. It was an attempt to brainwash them and place them under their control..
But the result was that the guy's head was broken and his gift was taken away..
At the time, believers were used as consumables to kill hematomas that brainwashing did not work on..
The sight of someone laughing and throwing away his life following the leader's instructions, with his own will destroyed, was shocking even to me. He destroyed the personalities of believers and brainwashed them through a systematic and efficient process..
It came to mind, so I have to make sure to get rid of it..
Upon arriving in Sinuiju, the underdeveloped cityscape comes into view. According to what I heard from Joo-ho Jeong, it is a city that China has a lingering attachment to because it has been greatly influenced by China..
Before that, it was a place where Ryu Gwang-cheol was influenced..
So, when I entered the city and looked around, it seemed like there was about half a mix of Chinese and half North Koreans..
It is said to be a very important strategic point, so the government will take care of it..
“I do remember.”
As I looked back on my memories of the time when I had a hematoma, the time gap was significant, but little by little, things started to come back to me. I wandered around the city diligently, and the dog followed me, even though he was panting..
While following a familiar scenery, at some point, I was able to capture a familiar scenery..
It's not far from the cult leader's base..
“Here it is.”
Soon, we were able to arrive at the place where the cult's headquarters was located. It was a place that looked like a luxurious villa facing the mountains..
But it was strange. In a place where strange heat and strangeness should intersect, there was no sign of human presence. It wasn't that someone attacked and wiped out the area, but when I looked closely, I found traces of people leaving quite a long time ago..
“Is there any??”
No, I was sure it wasn't there. Here, he had a tremendous influence on Sinuiju and reigned like a god. Since there was chaos earlier in history, now was the right time for him to prosper, but he escaped from here? Did you try your hand in China first??
Feeling puzzled, I entered the building. I passed through a hallway that had lost human touch and gave off a gloomy atmosphere..
In the past, it was full of blood stains from fanatics scratching it with their fingernails..
“huh?”
And when I got to the waiting room, I saw a person standing there.
50In his early teens, he was a man with the physique of a Mongolian merchant. It looked as if there was a huge rock blocking the way..
He also raised his head and fixed his eyes on me. The two of us exchanged a moment's glance..
“An unexpected giant..”
The man looked at me and spoke in Korean..
Has there ever been a Korean with this level of skill??
“Who is it?”
“me? Wei hao.”
It was Wei Hao, who was in his early teens..
