The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 27
27fury
Berserker opened the door to an abandoned house that would not be surprised if it collapsed right away. The house was filled with a mixture of bloody and musty smells that bothered my sense of smell, but it was a natural part of everyday life..
The place where his steps stopped was in front of a corpse with its head, arms and legs torn to pieces and its chest ripped open. Anyone can see that it was artistically torn apart..
“It's a stupid death for a stupid guy..”
It was a feeling that came out of nowhere..
After acting so proud, such a ridiculous death?.
“No, maybe Head Breaker is that great..”
The reputation of the puppet master known as immortal was real, so it would be fair to say that Head Breaker, who found and killed him, was amazing..
“······.”
Berserker, standing in the room, closed his eyes and accepted the remaining force flow in the room. I could see the scene in the room a few hours ago. I saw a signal emitted from the puppeteer controlling the puppet, blue eyes that seemed to pierce the room, and a thunderbolt piercing through the signal created by the puppeteer..
What was inside was a murderous intent so great that it was hard to even imagine..
A madness that makes you go crazy just by looking at it from the side..
There was a crazy person in the world who found it funny that the world called him Berserker..
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!”
Berserker laughed, shaking off the madness that was trying to devour him..
“I don't know how much of what I saw is real..”
Everything was just chaos.
The puppeteer didn't die because his residence was discovered foolishly. What are the eyes that appear in the room and what is the lightning that penetrates the flow?.
I tried reading it several times, but it didn't reveal everything..
In the end, he gave up and left the abandoned house, and the place he arrived at was about 5km away..
Berserker tried to sense the flow of battle between Doll and Headbreaker amidst the traces of the intense battle..
But this time too, it went wrong. Headbreaker fights with thunderbolts that destroy everything he touches. But no traces were detected here..
rather.
“···Why do I feel the scent of the Eradicator??”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't understand it. However, Headbreaker's fighting style was not felt, and the only thing that filled it was the presence of the Eradicator..
“Are you saying the Eradicator is a head breaker? for what reason?”
Was there a reason for the civil servant Hunter to pretend to be a villain? I tried to put the puzzle together using several clues, but gave up when the picture didn't match..
Instead, he assumed the opponent was an eraser and accepted the force flow..
······!!!
Berserker's eyes widened as a dull pain struck his chest. An unprecedented murderous intent and madness swept through the interior..
Is this really a size that a person can have? All Berserker could do was take a deep breath under the most vicious will to devour it just by recognizing its existence..
“···More reasons to see Headbreaker.”
I wanted to see who this guy was..
Berserker put aside his thoughts and shouted towards the thick grass..
“Come out.”
“······.”
“How long do you plan on watching??”
“···This is an ordinary contact..”
The person who appeared was a man with a normal face and dressed like a salaryman. However, what I felt from him was that he was at level 5 and had the ability to play an active role in the front line of a large guild..
Normally, we would never encounter something like this..
Berserker laughed as it seemed like something interesting was going to happen..
“Where did you come from?”
“It came from the Holy Guild General Operations Team. This is Youngtan Lee, deputy team leader..”
“Did I tell you to spy on me??”
“I was told to convey words and objects accurately..”
“speak.”
“This is a message from a head breaker. He said Berserker would be here and to contact him if he encountered one..”
Then, he took out his smartphone and held it out to Berserker..
“······.”
Berserker looked at his smartphone and stretched out his hand. After a while, the bell rang. I didn't know how to connect the call, so I was able to connect only after Youngtan Lee told me to push to the side. A voice came from beyond the smartphone..
-Berserker.
“Is it a head breaker? I have something to tell you?”
-I'll kill you soon, so don't install it and just stay still..
“what?”
-Set your desired date and time. It will suit that kind of rhythm. Lastly, have a private meal and then contact me again. You can also use Talk. You know how to write?
With that, the call ended. Berserker, who was blankly looking at his smartphone, burst into laughter..
“Hahahaha! You're crazy.!”
Kwasik!
A broken smartphone.
“······.”
Berserker stared blankly at the pulverized smartphone. Lee Young-tan showed no signs of embarrassment and took out another smartphone. Berserker looked at it silently and accepted it..
Also, if it breaks, there is no way to contact me, so I put it in my pocket to prevent it from breaking..
Only then did I regain my composure and smile again..
“Kkekekeke, sounds fun..”
‘Crazy guys.’
The guy who pushed into Berserker's mouth because he wasn't going to die anyway..
The guy who laughs at the idea of killing himself.
They were both the same guys.
Among the crazy people, only Lee Young-tan felt like dying..

After finishing the puppet master, I headed to Shinsung Hospital where Yunhee was hospitalized. Choi Yun-hee, single room. This benefit is given priority even though it is not a major injury. I think this is why people want to join the Holy Guild..
When I went inside, I saw a person wearing a patient gown and blushing with normal complexion..
Is that why I told you not to contact your parents? Since it wasn't a serious injury, I listened to him. It's not like the intestines ruptured or the stomach split open and the contents came out..
I heard from the nurse that he ate three bowls of rice, and that one rice bowl was huge. Even at home, I run out of rice and side dishes quickly. I guess that doesn't change the fact that the culprit made such a fuss and shouted loudly when I asked if he had finished eating. I put down the fruit basket..
“Are you okay??”
“uh? Why did you come? Anyway, I’m being discharged tomorrow..”
“My younger brother is in the hospital. I have to come see if he is breathing..”
““Is that what you would say to your injured brother?” was a joke, and thank you for coming. If it wasn't for my brother he would have died.”
I shook my head as he spoke with an awkward expression..
“No, good job. It held up very well..”
“Still, I felt how poor my skills were. Should I have tried harder? No, I just canceled what I said.!”
Shocked, Yunhee tried to pick it up, but heard it all..
“I'll give you more when you get discharged..”
“No, I said it wrong. It's enough now.”
“I don't think so.”
“Enough? What I said was about gifts..”
“gift?”
“I was just complaining. I thought it would make a difference if there was a gift. Not everyone has it.”
The percentage of hunters who have gifts is very small. However, most hunters with high level skills possessed gifts..
Gifts grant special strength to hunters..
In the early days of the Awakening, some countries even conducted biological experiments to open the gift, but the result was a failure. I'm probably the only one who can determine the type of gift based on blood intake..
I watched Yunhee and threw bait..
“What if there was a way to get a gift??”
“Is there such a way? really?”
I pretended to think for a moment and then nodded..
“there is.”
“Then let me know! I also want a gift. I want to become stronger.”
“It's a bit dangerous..”
“are you okay.”
Is it because of the desire for strength? It bothered me a little because it seemed like I was craving strength in my last life before I became a hematoma..
no. If you continue to pursue that desire, the distracting thoughts will disappear. If you let go of your strength, other desires will disappear as well. I have to use the pretext of opening a gift..
“First, get good treatment and improve your condition. Let's talk again later.”
“okay. I remember everything you said, so don’t say you don’t remember later..”
“okay.”
If Yunhee has the gift, she will be better at hunting..
But I don't want to be surprised when I have to draw blood near the heart.?
I decided to think about the rest later..
“ah! and. What I watched was real?”
“huh?”
“Were you watching me play against a doll?.”
I thought I was in a trance, but I remember the situation exactly..
“no.”
“I think I was watching.”
“······.”
His narrowed eyes pursued me persistently. I think I might try it a few more times in the future, but there's no reason to reveal it already..
“Lady, there is no evidence..”
“Did you dream??”
“No, it was real! And take some of that.”
Yunhee pointed to the large pot on the table..
“What?”
“open it.”
I grabbed the lid and checked the contents..
What welcomed me with its delicious smell was the head of an owl. The pupils moved according to my gaze..
It was a soybean paste stew based on an oulboar head. how is this here?
“Dahyun brought it to me to take care of my health. Her brother recommended it, right? it's crazy? Are you crazy? Are you crazy??”
“This is a health food.”
“I ate rice with soup, but I can't stand those eyeballs following me around. Dahyun says her eyeballs are the most delicious, but how does she eat them? her brother eats.”
“okay.”
At Yunhee's insistence, I returned home with Owlboar's head soybean paste casserole..
It was an unexpectedly large harvest..
* * *
By the time I returned to the National Protectorate, the entire atmosphere in South Korea had calmed down as Kim Young-hwan's death became known through breaking news..
This is level 8 death and no one else's. Although Kim Young-hwan's shadow was dark, his impact was large..
As a result, claims that Jeong Joo-ho was responsible arose, but things quieted down when it became known that I had caught the puppeteer. However, inside the civil service organization, where morale was low, it was lamented that the leadership had completely passed from the government to the large guilds..
Their opinion is that catching Berserkers has become virtually impossible without the cooperation of large guilds. The government said it would invest the budget to develop level 8 superhumans, but blind money will only end up in other people's pockets..
I'll keep an eye on it, but if I get the privilege of not being arrested, I'll screw it up..
Anyway, the situation was moving as Lee Se-hee said. If time passes like this, there will be more things to ask for when the negotiation table is set..
“Welcome.”
In a moment, Jung Joo-ho's face became half-faced. The only reason his expression is not dark is because he saved face by eliminating the puppeteer. Is it my fault that I couldn't identify the body?.
Should I go and get it now? It was too late because it would be bad after a few days. Next time, I'll have to remove the head first..
Even if I brought it anyway, no one would know the puppeteer's face..
“They got rid of the puppeteer, that's true.?”
“yes.”
“No, I mean. They call him immortal. How did they get rid of him??”
“Puppetry uses waves of the Force to control puppets. We found the source of the wave. It was there. The puppeteer's actual strength was of no use..”
“Why didn't you bring the body?.”
“I smashed my head. Lee Se-hee said she could testify if necessary..”
“Is there really a need to go there? It's a pity, but I guess I'll have to accept it.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who was scratching his head, said.
“Still, I survived thanks to you. There was so much chaos after Minister Kim Young-hwan's death. The inspiration is like that too. As you get older and your skills decline, you should take a step back. If you get greedy for no reason, tsk tsk.!”
“I'm glad it was resolved well..”
Officially, Jung Joo-ho is my junior. I hope you stay motivated and help me for a long time..
“Anyway, I live thanks to you. What would it have been like if it wasn't really you?.”
“The atmosphere seems serious..”
“The government is dying. It is true that even though the man's character was broken, he was dependable. If you're going to go in vain like that, you should at least raise up your successor. Tsk tsk! The way I see it, it would be hard to come out anywhere else..”
“······.”
“On the other hand, if you are now level 8, your value will be higher. It's not a bad development for you. It's funny how someone's death benefits someone.”
It's refreshing that the annoying person is gone, but I laughed bitterly, saying that I won't be able to avoid being outnumbered in the future struggle for leadership with large guilds..
“Director.”
“Uh, why??”
“Can you help me negotiate when I reach level 8??”
There is a high probability of rejection. Since Jeong Joo-ho has been a public servant his whole life and has been loyal to the country, he may think that my actions infringe on the interests of the country..
But as soon as he heard what I said, Joo-ho Jeong curled up the corners of his mouth..
“It's Junho. Honestly, I've been waiting for you to say that.”
“yes?”
“Honestly, who knows more about government than I do? I've been a civil servant hunter my whole life, and there's no one above me that I don't know. I know where those people grew up and what they did..”
“Please share that information later..”
I've already found something to sweep away.
“···First of all, if you know that you ate it, cancel it. If you lose your hair, will your memory also disappear? You don’t remember? Anyway, since you asked me for help, I will fully help you. Aren’t you from the National Protectorate? I have to come forward and give it to you.”
I was able to get information. So close.
Still, if you provoke it a few times, the necessary information will likely pour out..
“I thought you would say it was infringing on national interests..”
“What is infringement? Anyway, if you don't get it, everyone else will hurt you. Did you see that the support fund was allocated this time to promote level 8 training? It's all blind money. It's much better to use it to flirt with you than to get into the assholes of strict guys. I will properly punish the government. Just trust me.”
“I believe.”
This guy must have accumulated a lot over the years..
“That's why.”
“huh?”
“I'm trying to catch Berserker.”
“Have you given up yet??”
Jung Joo-ho, who was smiling, was surprised and pulled his hair out..
Is it okay to be like that??
* * *
My relationship with Berserker goes back to my last life..
The guy who came with the crazy thing called the structure of nothingness was a madman who wanted to complete his own world under different standards from others..
It wasn't revealed until just before his death that he was level 8 and the gift holder..
This time, the gift was not revealed, but it was revealed to be level 8..
However, I still remember the things he said when he looked at me to the extent that the thought of him as a unique guy remains in my memory..
“I said it was a stellar moment.”
Berserker chased after talents who could inspire him..
That's probably why I followed the traces of the Eradicator. He said that he was more afraid of death than death and tried to catch a glimpse of the star even at the risk of death..
I don't know if he saw it until the moment he died. But the obsession with power was real. Although he was 60 years old when he died by my hand, his skills did not regress, but he had hidden all kinds of secrets to become stronger..
Berserker - When will it come??
Berserker - I'm already there.
Berserker - Waiting is boring. This is also a seasoning for enjoyment. haha!
Berserker-[Photo attached]
Berserker - If you have time, you can come early..
I guess this guy was upset that I asked him if he didn't know how to write..
3He was sending messages to me a while ago..
Why are you sending me a selfie of me sitting down? The size of the photo was also extremely large..
I left exactly on time.
When I arrived at the agreed upon location, I saw Berserker sitting on a tree stump as shown in the attached photo..
“It's on time. I almost got tired of waiting.”
“who is early and long?”
“I was so excited I couldn't stand it..”
“crazy guy.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
He smiles even when he hears swearing. Maybe what Jeong Joo-ho said is right. This guy is truly crazy. If we hang out together, I think I’ll be colored too..
“Did you fill the hole in your stomach??”
“enough. I also have a question.”
“What?”
“Are you the eraser??”
