The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 218
218fury
“The vanguard unit that tried to stop them has been annihilated! Monsters have entered the city. The entire southern force that could block the monsters has disappeared.!”
“…….”
“Western power is leaving the front lines!”
“Eastern Power is also requesting a retreat!”
“You need to give me orders right now! Otherwise the line will collapse!”
The faces of the Northern Army leadership became thoughtful as reports came in from time to time..
The strength of the 9A monster that appeared in Beijing, the world's official name plus plus level monster, was beyond imagination..
All border networks prepared by the Northern Army were neutralized. No, it was correct to say that it did not delay the journey at all. The awakened people of the Northern Army, who were overwhelming the Southern Army, felt a primal fear from the 9A monster..
It was truly a walking disaster..
“…….”
Yu Hao felt infinitely shabby in front of that monster..
“I need to step down.”
“Where?”
“anywhere!”
“The moment we abandon this place, our future disappears..”
“So you're saying you're going to give up everything??”
“…….”
Yu Hao could not continue speaking due to Li Zhenhuo's urging..
It was revealed that the Northern Army could not stop the 9A monster. As long as the war with the Confederacy is not over, we must preserve our military power to plan for the future..
So, what about the 15 million citizens remaining in Beijing??
It meant that if we abandoned this place, we would have to throw all of those people as food to the monsters..
Although he is from an ethnic minority, Yu Hao has sacrificed everything for the glory of China. He just loathed the leadership of the party, but I had no doubt that he would sacrifice everything for the people..
However, in front of the 9A monster, I was just a frightened, shabby awakened person..
“Wei hao!”
“My, I'll go and make some time…….”
“Buying time against that monster? That's just dog death! Wei hao! Remember, we have bigger things to do! We have too much at stake to give up our lives for your fragile sense of justice.!”
Yu Hao could not say anything to Li Zhenhuo, who was shouting as if he was going to grab him by the collar at any moment..
He was right. He said that if he died, the Northern Army leadership would scatter like grains of sand. The party probably intended that and sent the monster here..
1500To keep the citizens hostage and watch his choices. If you try to protect your citizens, you will be killed, and if you abandon them and run away, you will be ridiculed, criticized, and despised for the rest of your life..
The moment I arrived excitedly because I was leaving Beijing, I fell into a trap prepared by the party..
It was easy to throw away one's life when you were just a superhuman, but as the number of people who followed you increased, your life no longer belonged to you..
“Maybe this too is just an excuse.”
Power is a monster that changes people. He who was ready to throw away his life like a straw has become someone who is desperate to preserve his life in the name of a great cause..
How is this any different from the high-ranking figures in the party you most hated?.
Yu Hao closed his eyes, fighting back the nausea that came flooding in. It's a compromise with reality..
“…egg plant.”
“Everyone retreats..”
With Li Zhenhuo's shout, the Northern Army leadership quickly left Zhongnanhai and withdrew north..
The city was in chaos. At the point when they realized that the northern army had failed to stop the monsters, the citizens were each packing their bags and trying to survive..
It felt like everyone was blaming themselves even though they knew they were out of their minds..
“…….”
Just as he was leaving Beijing, Yu Hao's superhuman eyesight caught the sight of a monster..
The size of the monster in the shape of a pangolin was over 30 meters, and a purple haze was surrounding the monster..
When a monster destroys a city, it doesn't mean it kills everyone in the city. This refers to a situation where the city's defense function is neutralized and monsters can no longer be restrained..
In this case, the city is destroyed, but many of its citizens are safe..
But the 9A monster that has appeared now goes beyond that common sense..
────!
The moment the howling spread out around the area with terrifying force, the space itself began to twist. The moment a crack appeared in space along with the feeling that the axis of the world was off, the purple fog that swirled around the monster covered the city at a furious speed..
Passasasa!
The entire visible space was covered in purple fog. And, unable to withstand, it corroded and fell to pieces. Can people survive there? It was hard to imagine how many people would have died there..
“I have to go.”
Yu Hao could barely take his eyes off Li Zhenhuo's touch. Even though he turned his head, he had the illusion that the monster was staring at him..
Who can deal with that ‘disaster’?.
Distant despair covered Yu Hao..

I still didn't like the dog..
Even so, a monster can't be cruel..
After all, if it's a monster, shouldn't it show its ferocious appearance? In that respect, the doggo was less aggressive than most awakened people..
however.
I realized I was overlooking one thing about dogs..
This guy specializes in survival..
The dog seemed to have felt that the eyes on him were not kind recently, so he moved around diligently and tried to carry out my commands perfectly..
It was an action that was strictly in accordance with my will rather than being voluntary..
“Does survival instinct overcome inclination?.”
[Because I have to live it first. After meeting a scary master, the only thing I can learn is perception..]
If I struggle to survive and improve, it doesn't matter to me..
Is this really going to change? Even your inclinations can be changed in order to live..
“There is no need to open your chest..”
[All you have to do is listen carefully, right? That's instinct, regardless of reason.]
“That's right.”
I shouted at the dog that was searching for other monsters with its nose in the ground..
“let's go!”
bruise!
Hunting results were pretty good..
When I returned to Seoul, I met Jin Se-jeong..
When I talk to Jin Se-jeong, I am always amazed. He pointed out things I had never thought of and turned them into great opportunities..
Why did such a talented person quit his job??
“I was just a little tired. It's like politics..”
I thought that the idol world that made Jin Se-jeong leave was so amazing..
“It's fun now. I learned that this kind of integration is possible even if the field is different..”
Today I heard a long speech about doggy dogs..
“Doggy is a great way to raise your image as a superman.!”
Did you even hear it from Lee Se-hee? He started telling me about the advantages of doggy dogs..
Although the dog was a bit unwieldy in size, it was still young, so it had an innocent appearance. Although he is big in human terms, his face can be considered cute..
“The story of Choin saving a dog that was about to be eaten by a predator, and the dog struggling to repay the favor to Choin, is deeply touching to people. A warmth that never existed before was given to Choin..”
“It's not really warm..”
“Even so, there’s no reason to stand up and say that’s not the case.?”
That's not wrong again.
As I nodded, Jin Se-jeong listed things that can be used to create an image as a dog..
I didn't know, but they are even selling goods. Was the dog cute enough to appeal to people??
“In reality, monsters of that size are rare. Cute monsters are also rare. There are almost no tamed monsters. When several uncommon elements overlap, it is bound to be special..”
These are all elements I didn't care about..
“All right. We will do our best to educate the dog..”
“yes? Ah yes! thank god. and…….”
At that time, a loud emergency bell sound rang from the smartphone. It wasn't just me, it was the same with Jin Se-jeong's smartphone. Usually this happens in a disaster such as an emergency evacuation situation, but I was wondering something..
Jin Se-jeong's voice cracked as she unlocked her smartphone before me..
“beijing annihilation……?”
1500The capital city of China, home to 10,000 people, disappeared? It is a place that maintained its former glory even though countless people died due to the appearance of monsters..
I heard a while ago that the northern army had taken over, but it was an unexpected story..
Jin Se-jeong shouted with a thoughtful face..
“It's a monster attack! For the first time in the world, Plus Plus monsters attacked Beijing.!”
“It's a two-horned monster..”
It appeared much earlier than I thought. Yongyong, who was listening quietly, also said with an expression of disbelief..
[How on earth did you appear? That can't normally appear.]
At least you have to obtain something from the Divine Beast to appear..
Yongyong, you are underestimating human power. If Japan created the essence of an artificial divine beast, it is also possible for China to create a two-horned monster..
[humans do that?]
There may be flaws, but imitation is possible..
[how do you know that?]
There is no reason to say that I saw it from the future..
I looked at Jin Se-jeong, letting Yong-yong’s curious words slip away..
“Beijing's disappearance means it cannot stop it on its own..”
“Yeah, that's right. If so, all you can do at that point is to ask the Adept for salvation.!”
“It will happen.”
The courtship will probably be quite desperate..
Since our territory is close to Beijing, we will have to take action..
In times like this, going north might not help..
I spoke to Jin Se-jeong, who was deep in thought..
“The team leader has work to do..”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“The appearance of this two-horned monster will be different from dealing with existing monsters..”
Why do we say that Beijing is disappearing instead of being destroyed?.
That's because the two-horned monster can kill all the humans in the city in a short period of time..
A monster that can literally bring about the end. How could the guys who made it and released it into the world think it was pretty?.
Even if the Northern soldiers said they were different, it was clear that people in that country would do similar things with similar ways of thinking in the same situation..
The only thing that may be significantly different is the hematoma..
“I'll ask for your help to deal with this monster..”
“yes.”
“The cost will be very expensive.”
“…….”
“Team leader, all you have to do is think about what is the most expensive way for me to move..”
Jin Se-jeong was shocked..
I think I said it right, but maybe you didn't understand it correctly??
“Is it expensive? But if we negotiate, more people will die.…….”
“Then wouldn't it be more expensive??”
[and!]
“…….”
“Can I leave this part of the work to the team leader? It doesn't matter if you say you can't do it..”
I waited for the silent Jin Se-jeong to answer. It doesn't matter what choice you make. Even if something like this doesn't happen, it doesn't change that you are a helpful person to me..
“If you find it difficult to make a decision, you can give up..”
“If I do it?”
“We will try to reflect the team leader’s opinion as much as possible..”
“ah…….”
“Would you like to try it??”
“First, let me think about it first..”
“You can give up at any time.”
“…yes.”
Jin Se-jeong’s voice as she answered was weak..

When Choi Jun-ho went out and she was left alone, Jin Se-jeong collapsed..
I had known for a long time that the person I was dealing with was an unusual person. Headbreaker, the world's greatest genius, the world's strongest awakener, etc., the term "global" suited Choi Jun-ho better than anyone else..
It was fun to assist him in creating his image and to take the lead in the midst of various factions and factions. The working environment, salary, and encounter with powerful figures that had never been seen before gave a high level of satisfaction..
But it wasn't the same situation now..
“…….”
Jin Se-jeong looked at the smartphone screen with trembling hands..
The news of the appearance of a plus-plus stage monster and the words of Beijing's disappearance were deeply embedded in my mind..
What is scary when monsters invade a city is that they neutralize the city's defense capabilities. This allows the second and third attacks by monsters..
Citizens are exposed defenseless in front of him without any protection..
Jin Se-jeong has seen a city being trampled by monsters. Lately, awakened people came and hunted the monsters, but countless people died in a short period of time..
Then I realized. People like you who have no power are nothing but expendables who die helplessly the moment those with power hesitate for a moment..
Maybe Beijing is in the same situation he saw..
However, Choi Jun-ho talked about the high price..
Raising the ransom is simple. All you have to do is make the other person suffer more..
Every year here means more cities are destroyed and more people die..
You make this with your own decisions.?
In the meantime, countless people will die?
This was Choi Jun-ho's test. If you give up, it will be easier, but you will no longer be able to be deeply involved in future matters with Choi Jun-ho..
Jin Se-jeong saw the smartphone screen tremble. No, it was his hands that were shaking..
“I am…….”
Jin Se-jeong closed her eyes tightly amidst the violently swirling emotions..
