The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 17
17fury
The villain we arrested leaked information..
With all the National Defense Bureau hunters gathered in the large conference room, Jung Joo-ho started the meeting..
“The league's magic has finally reached this point..”
I started to bring out information that had not been revealed until now..
“Puppeteer, Black Reaper, Executioner.”
“······!”
“This is the list of villains the league is in contact with..”
These three are the pinnacle of villains currently active in Korea..
Puppeteers are analyzed to have low combat power compared to level 7, but they are called immortal gods who never die because they use puppets without revealing their true bodies..
The Black Reaper and the Executioner are also level 7 awakened villains who have slaughtered countless people..
It didn't seem that special to me. Are these guys that we need to be that wary of? I do not know.
Come to think of it, I know where the Korean branch of the league I destroyed is located. I'll have to visit sometime when I have time..
“All three are villains known to act alone. However, if they are in the league, the possibility of them moving together cannot be ruled out..”
“It's hell.”
“Looks like level 8 is the problem that needs to be dispatched..”
“If they had worked together, they would have moved already. It means there is still time. Let's take action before an incident occurs..”
When the meeting was about to end, Jeong Da-hyun raised her hand..
“Director. What happened to the information about the expunger?.”
“The Eradicator was bait. there was nothing.”
“So how do we track down the expunger??”
“It means there is no harvest. It may be a villain that never existed from the beginning..”
“The Eradicator is a villain who has revealed himself..”
“I know, it's just a matter of considering whether it's a new villain that has appeared. Maybe the Eradicator is a villain sent by the League to appease those three..”
“······!”
Everyone was astonished. On the one hand, I felt afraid of the league's endless power. A level 8 villain is coming just to appease? It's unbelievable.
hmm.
As a person who was listening, I could only admire the imagination that stretched to infinity..
If this happens, the league that tried so hard to attract me has achieved its goal, even if only halfway..
“This too is just a guess. What is clear is that even though the existence of the Eradicator exists, it could not be found. You must imagine freely. This information is unusual.”
“Come to think of it, Berserker isn't on the list..”
“He must have been excluded because he was out of his mind. But you can't let down your guard, so if your traces are revealed, make sure you know their location..”
I remember the hidden story I heard from the boss. Berserker, why is he chasing the Eradicator?.
Berserker, Gwangjin Lee. 44 years old, estimated level 7. This villain usually looks noble like a monk, but goes crazy when he enters battle..
He was evaluated as the most dangerous of the villains mentioned above because he destroys everything in sight, regardless of enemy or enemy..
If stimulated incorrectly, it can go crazy, so even government agencies have issued a ban on access..
But there is something strange about the information..
Lee Gwang-jin was also a person I remember from my last life..
Because I killed the villain.
But now that I think about it, I don't think he's level 7..
The guy I dealt with during my time as a hematologist was one of the top five strong men I've ever killed. If I had to classify it, wouldn't he be close to level 8? Or is there a difference between now and 15 years from now, so was it level 7 at that time?.
“It's best not to provoke Berserker..”
If you don't touch it, it stays in silence. This is the perception of Berserker.
That's why many organizations, starting with the National Defense Bureau, are keeping their distance from Berserker..
I'll see him sometime because I need to know why he's looking for the Eradicator. That will be his last time. He's a guy you're going to kill anyway, so I thought it would be a good idea to check how good he is..
When I think about it, there is one more strange thing..
The league said they didn't approach Berserker because he was crazy, but they approached me because I was a blood race..
Did I really think that conversation would work?.
Because I'm less crazy than Berserker?
“······.”
While I was lost in thought, Jooho Jeong concluded the meeting..
“However, Berserker is also a villain that must be eliminated at any time. If they decide they can control it, the league can approach it at any time. Always be careful.”
“All right.”
* * *
On the way home from work after the meeting.
I mentally organized the flood of information that had poured in today, from tracking down the Eradicator to the league..
Secretly chasing the Eradicator was a huge shock to me..
I thought the case was closed by erasing the Big Ten. But she caught on to a small clue and pursued it doggedly..
The problem is that not only I but also Jeong Da-hyun was unaware of the process..
This information led me to a hypothesis:.
Could it be that I am under suspicion??
Joo-ho Jeong thinks of me as a level 8 talent. And the Eradicator was also revealed to be level 8 in his first appearance..
Then you can think like this.
Is it likely that two level 8 superhumans will appear recently, or is it more likely that they are the same person??
It's just my guess, but it's enough to be suspicious..
So I decided to become Agent Black. Since he is directly under the director, he will be able to watch over Jeong Joo-ho from the side..
What should I do if Jung Joo-ho is convinced that I am an eraser?.
“I have to be careful..”
Fortunately, the Eradicator is a disposable villain who came out to end the relationship with Oh Jong-yeop..
If he doesn't appear again, won't people think he's a virtual villain??
How hard did I clean up to avoid getting caught? I feel like there is no reward for my hard work..
“Did I sweep it away for no reason?.”
However, I could not just pass by because I knew how big the Big Ten organization was growing and what kind of evil it was doing to Oh Jong-yeop..
Meanwhile, the place I arrived was where the Korean branch of the league was located..
I think it was chosen because it is located in Bupyeong, Incheon, and is close to Seoul, as well as Incheon International Airport and nearby ports..
“There is none.”
I had some expectations, just in case..
At this time, it seems that the Korean branch of the league had not yet taken its proper form. The building was quite fancy at the time, but now it is an abandoned building that wouldn't be surprising if it collapsed right now..
A new building is being built here. The league must have had a lot of money..
“Hey, what are you??”
As expected, there were five villains inside the abandoned building. There were various miscellaneous items lying around on the floor, no matter where they had been stolen..
After crushing the limbs of an unwanted minnow, we contacted a nearby response team and handed over the villain..
I laughed bitterly at the sight of the civil servants on the response team making a fuss about the seriousness of the situation..
Another case of excessive suppression will be added..
Still, now that the uninvited guests have been removed, I hope the Korean branch of the league will come here in the future..
Is this a long-term investment?.
When I returned home from work, I found my younger sister stretched out..
The guy wearing a white short-sleeved box-shirt and black dolphin pants was watching TV, taking up the entire sofa with all the comfort in the world..
“Oh, I'm here?”
Take a step.
“You seem to be getting more and more lazy..”
“Ah, I didn't know work life would be this difficult. When I go, I feel dizzy..”
“It's worth doing?”
“If you can't even do this, I'll hit you. And you're getting paid a lot. You have to pay for food to be able to show off that you come from Shinsung..”
“······.”
I looked at Yunhee without saying anything for a moment..
“Well, what is it? What's wrong with my eyes??”
“what.”
“Perfect! I felt it. Can you see me thinking about making a move right now? Right?”
“It's not. I just wondered how much I learned from Dahyun..”
“don't worry. The way to deal with villains is perfect. Perhaps because he was influenced by so-and-so, he was very extreme..”
“That's probably how the villain responds. But it is also important to know how prepared you are for monsters..”
“What, what! Why do you say such scary things?.”
If Jeong Da-hyun had prepared for the villain, the Holy Guild would have prepared for the monster..
However, monsters are a completely different type of monster than villains..
The first hunt is when most hunters who hunt monsters die, and at this time, new hunters lack immunity to different types of creatures..
Even with the support of reliable seniors, the hunt is not easy enough for a frozen rookie to be safe..
“The Holy Guild will prepare it, but in my opinion, it is insufficient..”
“Pointing out the level of preparation for the highest guild in Korea right now.?”
“Because it's life-threatening.”
“Oh, I don't know. I received sufficient audio-visual training and was educated on what types of adverse reactions may occur. I practiced first aid, how to take recovery medicine, and how to retreat several times..”
“It's still not enough.”
The best thing is to take them directly to the scene and confront the monster..
But it makes no sense to drop it alone, and if I'm next to you, it's difficult to get proper immunity because you'll be someone to rely on..
It is most clearly imprinted when exposed in its raw form..
“I'll have to find a way.”
“No, can't we just pass by? This is a bit overprotective..”
“I'm doing it because you're my brother..”
My younger brother who couldn't spread his wings because of me. Now that he was at the starting point, all he could think about was helping him fly away..
“······.”
Yunhee stared at him without saying a word..
It seemed like he recognized my concerns..
“Wow, chicken meat! Oh, I almost vomited..”
“······.”
It wasn't.
* * *
I contacted Lee the day before, made an appointment, and met Lee Se-hee the next day. She was as gorgeous and beautiful as I had ever seen her for the first time..
Cross your legs and smile while leisurely holding a cup of coffee.
“How nice it is to make an appointment in advance like this..”
Is this the confidence of full makeup? Yoonhee's confidence before and after makeup was like the difference between heaven and earth..
“Because of my brother's case.”
“ah! Mr. Yoonhee. Is there a problem??”
“How about in the guild??”
“She's an all-rounder. They have good interpersonal relationships, excellent skills, and excellent adaptability. I have no hesitation in accepting new things. To the point where I feel incompetent for not being able to find such talent myself. ah! I was just talking about myself..”
“I heard you're going on your first hunt soon..”
“yes We are fully prepared at the guild level..”
Lee Se-hee mentioned the preparations of the Holy Guild with a confident expression. It was great. If I had an awakened child, I would want to trust and entrust it to them..
“I'm going to train Yunhee, but I'm wondering if it goes against the Holy Guild's policy..”
“Because of the separate training.?”
“What is the guild policy??”
“does not matter. Although our affiliation is sacred, we are each working hard to become stronger. Personally, I invite a coach to supplement my shortcomings. However, inhumane or abnormal training is prohibited. ···No way, no?”
Before I knew it, he was looking at me with narrowed eyes..
What did I do to make you feel so anxious??
It's all for my younger brother..
“Say it quickly. What is it.”
“Can't we just move on??”
“I was going to skip it, but seeing Junho’s attitude, I have to listen. Please tell me. Otherwise, I will tell everything to Yoonhee. Because we have to protect our guild members..”
I can't believe you realized that I haven't asked Yunhee's permission yet. As expected, he is a perspicacious ghost..
“The problem is that I'm being pressured by the monster's energy, so I'm imitating the monster's energy..”
“Is that possible??”
“I'm saying it's possible..”
“······.”
Lee Se-hee, who was thinking while folding her hands and tapping the back of her hand with her index finger, spoke..
“Then try me first..”
“why?”
“It's half my personal curiosity and half my intuition as the head of the Shinsung Guild operation team. If we can artificially imitate the monster's momentum, I think we can reduce the damage much more than we do now..”
“is it?”
There is no need to let go of the test subject that walked in..
And, from what I could see, Lee Se-hee seemed to like being treated rather roughly..
“great. Now, I'll take out my business..”
“What business??”
“No, I didn't even think about handing over that expensive item.?”
Rather, Lee Se-hee was embarrassed and scolded me. I finally remembered.
“Oh, that?”
“The value measurement was completed a while ago. I'm sorry it took so long because it was a product that didn't exist before..”
“are you okay.”
“After setting the price, I was worried about how to pay. As Junho knows, when a large amount of money suddenly comes in, the National Tax Service tracks it..”
“I'll look into it more when I get to the Holy Guild..”
“that's right. We're watching with anticipation to see when we'll make a mistake. So, I decided that in order to pay safely, it would be better to pay in kind. How about this?”
“I’m comfortable with that too..”
“Then it will be easier to talk about..”
Lee Se-hee smiled and said.
“I thought about what item Junho would need the most. So, I looked into what was going on around Junho and saw that Junho was not greedy for money, so I found my own answer..”
Lee Se-hee lifted the 007 briefcase that was lying on the floor onto the table, entered the password, and opened it. It was full of brightly colored healing agents..
“Were you worried about excessive suppression of villains? If you feel worse after being suppressed, use this healing agent. Then, the broken limbs are fully recovered.!”
“Then you won't attack me again?.”
“I guess I should show you an example..”
Lee Se-hee got up from her seat and brought two snacks packed in a box. Then she dropped one on the floor and crushed it by stepping on it with her high heels..
“The villain that Junho subdued is in a kind of state like this..”
The box of snacks I saw was torn to pieces and the contents were crumbled..
“But this is what happens when you use a recovery agent.”
He pretends to spray the healing agent in the air and puts the contents into an intact box..
“Restorative agents are used to restore only the appearance, not the contents. He looks fine on the outside, but he has a bone disease on the inside. To the old-fashioned superiors, it looks like they have successfully subdued him. Isn’t this what Junho needs the most right now??”
“······.”
I stared at the 007 bag that Lee Se-hee held out..
“Normally, the heart of a level 6 harmful monster costs 1 billion, but with a new processing method, we added a premium to it and prepared 100 hearts at 3 billion. If this isn't enough, you can always ask for more. Because we can continue to supply.”
Lee Se-hee finished speaking confidently and looked at me with eyes full of anticipation..
“How about this? The gift I prepared?”
“······.”
Suddenly, the incidents that occurred when I became a civil servant hunter flashed through my mind..
Villains whose limbs were broken by my hands. The number of cases of excessive suppression increased one by one after their screams..
But if you restore it to its original state with that potion,?
It is not a perfect crime... but a complete arrest..
“Sehee Lee.”
“yes!”
“···you are a genius.”
