The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 21
21fury
By catching Blink's Han Sang-min, I was in charge of securing the drugs supplied by the league..
Although the villain was defeated as ordered, one question crossed his mind..
Why am I so busy?.
It's true that I hate villains, and it's true that I perform my duties as a civil servant hunter. But if I were to say that eliminating villains was the greatest task on earth, that would not be the case..
I have no such beliefs or responsibility..
The reason I became a civil servant hunter was because it was comfortable..
But what if you're no longer comfortable? The merits of civil servant hunters are low..
So what should we do next?.
“My head hurts..”
It might have been impossible to move without being revealed like I am now, without any intention of hiding my skills..
Aside from that, the idea of disguising Agent Black as a villain and infiltrating deep into the villain world was quite surprising..
Jung Joo-ho sighs, saying that my existence has been revealed because of this, but I have the choice anyway. Agent Black also became a member out of necessity, and can quit at any time if he doesn't feel like it..
It feels like the name of the league is coming deeper and deeper..
I asked Dahyun Jeong for information about the league..
“Mr. Dahyun.”
“Yes, Junho..”
“Last time, I said the league was a dot organization..”
“yes.”
“So do you know who the head of the league is??”
“It's not accurate. I can only guess that the level 8 villains are the leaders. But I do have information about the three villains who created the League..”
Argos, Hell Master, Black Hound.
They were the origins of the league and are now called the world's worst villains..
“There is nothing known about how the three villains came together. But that combination became a huge disaster for the world..”
“······.”
These three names are villains I have also heard of. Those three still became infamous even after I became a hematoma. But if you've seen it in person, that's not true..
Why have I never seen it before? Is this really a coincidence??
“The strength of these three is said to be unrivaled among level 8 superhumans. Arrest operations were attempted several times in the United States, but were withdrawn after suffering severe losses..”
Jeong Da-hyun must have thought my expression was serious and carefully offered me comfort..
“Still, in Korea, the league's influence is not yet significant, so you don't have to worry too much..”
“Well, I think we should be worried about those villains, not Junho.?”
“······!”
Dahyun Jeong, startled by the voice coming from behind, stood up. When did he arrive? A smiling Lee Se-hee was looking at Jeong Da-hyun with his chin slightly raised..
“hi? Junho, it’s been a while too..”
“Long time no see.”
It wasn't just the two of us, so we treated each other with respect, but Lee Se-hee immediately looked at us with a straight face..
“You can speak comfortably as usual. You suddenly feel so respected, but you feel distant..”
“······!”
While the people around her who were watching pretending not to be surprised were surprised, Dahyun Jeong was showing herself how big those big eyes could grow..
“I have an appointment with Director Jeon first. See you later.”
Lee Se-hee, waving her hand and smiling, headed to the director's office..
and.
All eyes within the National Defense Bureau were focused on me..
what?
*Lee Se-hee was a burdensome partner for Jeong Joo-ho, who had lived his entire life as a civil servant..
Even though she was young, she was like a shining sun, with sparkling talent, excellent resourcefulness, natural background, and beauty..
As the rise of large guilds became increasingly fearful day by day, I could see why control was becoming difficult when someone with a promising future like her took the lead..
Her time will come soon.
“It was a sudden request, but thank you for accepting it, Director..”
“How could I refuse Team Leader Lee’s request? Please sit down. Tea is coffee?”
“yes please.”
After a while, Lee Se-hee held the steaming cup of coffee and took a sip..
“So what brought you here??”
“I came here because of a problem related to Junho and his skills..”
“I know what you mean······.”
“Junho, you’re level 7, right? Maybe he's more than that.”
“······!”
“I think the director has probably taken action by now..”
“Umm!”
What should I say about those eyes that seem to know everything? It was clear she knew how she would react. Nevertheless, no hostility arises. This is Lee Se-hee’s biggest advantage..
Should I say that this is desirable? If she had been 20 years younger, she would have had her liver and gallbladder removed. Of course I'm not getting married. One terrible experience is enough..
“As always, the Holy Guild's information power is beyond imagination. How far did you know??”
“I also have eyes and ears, and I know the general idea..”
“Huh, if this continues, they'll even find out the panties I wore today..”
“Fortunately, I'm not interested in that..”
Lee Se-hee's bright smile followed persistently. In the end, Jung Joo-ho couldn't shake it off and sighed..
“Choi Jun-ho is a Hunter, a civil servant of our National Security Agency..”
“He is also the older brother of Choi Yun-hee, a member of our Shinsung Guild..”
“······.”
“Ms. Yoonhee’s talent is considerable. So much so that she has expectations that if she continues to build up from now on, she will reach level 7, or maybe even level 8. I think we need to be aware of Junho's problems in order to take care of such a promising star. In the grand scheme of things, it's for the good of the country..”
The tongue-in-cheek gesture continued..
“Coincidentally, the Holy Guild is also a sponsor of the National Defense Bureau, and Junho has a relationship with me, so I think that if we work together, we can reach an agreement in a direction that is mutually beneficial. I'm sorry if I just imagined it..”
I was completely caught off guard..
Even if we take a hard line here, we cannot destroy the cause of thinking about Choi Jun-ho and Choi Yoon-hee. Even if you belong to a sacred guild, being a talent who can reach level 8 is ultimately for the sake of increasing the power of the nation..
Seeing Lee Se-hee, who was already confident of her victory, Jeong Joo-ho smiled empty-handedly..
“I was planning on letting him carry out his mission quietly for the time being..”
“The director must be having a hard time..”
“Because of that guy, the amount of hair falling out per day doubled. Doesn’t the Holy Guild develop drugs like this? If you develop it, please let me know. I will gladly support even if it is a clinical trial..”
“···I'll stop by the lab and find out..”
“I would appreciate it if you could do just that. after! In any case, you can rest assured that we will not completely rule out the Holy Guild in future matters. We also want to maintain a good relationship with the Holy Guild, especially with Team Leader Lee..”
“The director is the most trustworthy partner among civil servant hunters. Thank you for trusting me.”
The atmosphere on the outside was friendly..
In reality, he was surprised and allowed a painful blow, and Lee Se-hee gained a great advantage..
Since he couldn't just stand at a loss like this, Jeong Joo-ho came up with a solution he had been thinking about..
“Then, can this team leader make Choi Jun-ho be more self-respectful? I think even that guy would be swayed by that beauty..”
The meaning of Lee Se-hee's smile changed due to her sincere words. If I was confident just a moment ago, I am now bitter..
“Director, you're not saying that to kill me.?”
“···no way?”
“I'll wake up.”
Lee Se-hee, whose confidence had completely disappeared, stood up helplessly..
*After Lee Se-hee entered the director's office, there was a moment of silence between me and Jeong Da-hyeon. I left out the monster heart issue and talked about her first meeting with Lee Se-hee and the meeting with Yoon-hee..
After a while, Jung Joo-ho and Lee Se-hee came out of the director's office. But the expressions on both of their faces were strange..
Did you have a serious conversation??
After saying hello, Joo-ho Jeong went inside and Se-hee Lee came this way..
At that time, there was someone who bravely approached me..
“Hello, Team Leader Sehee Lee. My name is Oh Jong-yeop..”
“ah! Jongsu’s older brother? I heard you are friends with Junho. And he has a great gift.”
“Haha, yes. Thanks to this, Jongsu has hope for a new life. thank you.”
Oh Jong-yeop, who couldn't see Lee Se-hee's sparkling eyes, smiled shyly. A child born alone. He seemed completely confused..
“That's all I did to the best of my ability. It’s right for Junho to receive the thanks..”
“You have a kind heart as well as your beauty..”
“Then who is better between me and Dahyun??”
“yes? That, that, that······.”
Oh Jong-yeop stumbled at the unexpected blow. A child born alone. Tsk tsk.
“just joke. I'll greet you properly next time..”
“yes, yes!”
Oh Jong-yeop stepped aside, and Lee Se-hee, who came to where Jeong Da-hyun and I were, looked at Jeong Da-hyun's face and said to me..
“I'll borrow some from Dahyun. Hey, let's go eat.”
“What are you talking about when you come so suddenly?.”
“I know everything. You're in a slump. In times like this, you can just forget about dieting and eat as much as you want. let's go.”
“Uh, uhh?”
Lee Se-hee and Jeong Da-hyeon disappeared in an instant..
Being genuinely concerned about someone's slump and encouraging them. Is that a friend? I had a really good friend.
“Why why! what!”
On the other hand, I think my friend is a bit lacking..
The relaxed atmosphere was like this for a while..
The next day, news like lightning was delivered..
“Berserker and puppeteer made contact.”
*The moment the contact between Berserker and the Puppet Master was revealed, an emergency alert was issued to all government organizations, including the National Defense Bureau..
In addition, a national guild association meeting was held, and the government argued for a reduction in hunting due to caution against villain attacks, while the guild argued for maintaining the original number of hunts, leading to a sharp conflict..
The two villains are typically villains who travel alone. Berserker was the most powerful of all Korean villains, and the Puppet Master was an immortal villain who never dies. No one could easily have predicted what kind of disaster the union of the two would bring..
“I'll probably try to attack them individually..”
Jeong Da-hyeon, with a bright expression on her face, was standing next to me, as if the conversation went well after going out with Lee Se-hee. She said that if two villains, estimated to be level 7, come together, she will never be able to stop it unless she is a level 8 superhuman, so she will move like that..
“While Berserker is a difficult villain to identify, Puppeteer is difficult. I think both the government and the guild will move to catch the two..”
There was one more reason why you could never use your clumsy power, and that was because of the characteristics of the puppeteer..
'Puppetry', a gift that can bring out the strength and potential of a corpse by acquiring a corpse, increases the power of the puppeteer as the number of corpses increases..
“Maybe Junho needs to make a move..”
“I guess we'll have to wait and see..”
Originally, Berserker was my responsibility, but when Berserker and the Puppet Master joined forces, the initiative passed to the government. I only know a little bit about my skills, so maybe other steps will be taken..
Due to Jung Joo-ho's tendency to not want to cause trouble, he would probably want to mobilize a level 8 superhuman rather than me..
As I thought Berserker was probably level 8, I knew he would eventually come back for my turn, so I decided to watch and intervene..
My predictions were exactly right..
“Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan of the Red Snake will prepare for the cooperation between Berserker and the Puppet Master..”
Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan. The only level 8 superhuman affiliated with a government organization..
At the age of 70, he still has a thirst for power and is said to be past his prime, but his reputation as a level 8 has not gone anywhere..
The mood naturally brightened..
On the other hand, Jung Joo-ho's expression was still serious..
“We will hold on to the Puppet Master, who is difficult to eliminate with hammer and anvil tactics, with our elite forces, and in the meantime, the Minister will take charge of Berserker. The overall management of the operation is handled by the Blue House Awakened Security Office, and we form a siege network along one axis..”
Although it was a short period of time, the degree of completion of the operation was significant..
This is why they lashed out at me like a pack of dogs whenever I showed up with a hematoma..
Key personnel from the three representative bureaus, the National Protection Bureau, Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau, and Anti-Material Defense Front Bureau, will be mobilized, and villain response teams from each region will be mobilized..
“Everyone, wait until the order to start the operation is given. And Choi Jun-ho.”
“yes.”
“Follow me. I have something to say.”
I followed Jung Joo-ho into the director’s office..
“Berserker has left your hands, are you okay??”
“yes. I think there is nothing we can do about this as it is a matter of fact..”
“Yeah, I'm glad you understand. There is something you need to do in this operation..”
“What is it??”
“You will remember the villains we caught in the last operation with the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau. After interrogating there, it was confirmed that there was a puppet master behind it..”
“okay.”
“But I couldn't get the next information. They said there was a ban on it..”
“Those words are?”
I remembered the ability that was banned after I used it on Wang Ju-yeol..
“Permission was given from above. Use your skills to extract information from them..”
“All right.”
It was a good opportunity. I need to use this opportunity to improve my brainwashing skills..
*Choi Jun-ho went out and Jeong Joo-ho, who was left alone, scratched his head..
“Are they already keeping it in check?.”
No matter how hard you try to hide it, the sharp awl sticks out..
Headbreaker Choi Jun-ho's name was well known in large guilds, starting with government agencies..
Perhaps the Berserker arrest operation, which was a secret operation of the National Protection Agency, may have been leaked..
That may be why Red Snake Kim Young-hwan pointedly ordered the Berserker arrest operation to be withdrawn..
“You seem like a greedy old man.······.”
However, given that he was the only level 8 superhuman that the government could mobilize and that he was a minister, there was nothing he could do other than talk behind his back..
Jeong Joo-ho's ordeal did not end here..
A subordinate came in with a knock and brought a report..
“Director.”
“what?”
“I received a call from the United States..”
“Why is America suddenly?”
Although the United States' influence has declined since the emergence of monsters, it is still an ally and hegemony with the greatest influence..
“He wants to do joint operations with Headbreaker in the US.······.”
“refuse.”
“yes? Then at least there is a reason.”
“Say you're busy.”
“Oh, I see..”
The subordinate went outside, and Jeong Joo-ho grabbed his throbbing head..
“There's an uproar with people poking at me from all directions, these are.”
I was slowly feeling the limit coming..
