The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 289

289fury

James Reed had no particular thoughts about the Thunderbird cult..

The United States is a place where there are as many different religions as there are diverse racial compositions, and with the advent of monsters, pseudo-religions that sell the apocalypse have emerged..

Some have radical ideas, and some try to avoid it, but I thought it was a natural phenomenon that occurred in a world that could have been destroyed..

Naturally, the Thunderbird-related pseudo-religion also remained at that level of awareness. It's just a religion that people with no place to go turn their hearts to..

“…….”

However, following James Turner, I realized that I had been thinking naively as I watched the man fall down with his head broken in front of me..

“He's a sneaky guy..”

It was Choi Jun-ho, who had just recently smashed the head of the mayor of Seattle and calmly let go. James Reed was fed up with the process of getting to this point..

We've already seen them chase down villains in LA, but the cult gave them a completely different feel..

Although he was disgusted by the sight of people going crazy with faith and rushing towards him with their eyes turned upside down, Choi Jun-ho didn't care and smashed the heads of all the fanatics. And I caught his tail and reached where the mayor of Seattle was..

If it were you, would you have simply believed that the mayor of Seattle was involved??

No, I would have been worried somewhere in the middle. And you were probably trying to figure out what the appropriate level is..

But for Choi Jun-ho, that line did not exist. As soon as it was determined that they believed in a pseudo-religion, all those involved were put to death..

“Actually, I guess this is the Thunderbird's territory..”

“…I didn't know it would be like this.”

“I don't plan on blaming you. You wouldn't think a normal Shinsu would do something like this..”

“under!”

We know that thunderbirds are unique. Unlike other divine beasts that rarely interfere with worldly affairs, a transcendent being that exerts influence in various ways. But this time, it was intervening in a way beyond imagination..

What exactly is Shinsoo’s intention? And when he deviates from that intention, the consequences will be?

It wouldn't matter if Choi Jun-ho defeated the Thunderbird, but if it was the other way around, I was afraid that he might incur God's wrath..

“what are you going to do?”

“First, I need to tell you that this entire city is under the influence of the Thunderbird..”

“I'll do it.”

“And since there is a market in the direction where the tail is exposed, there is a high probability that the people below are fanatics, and it may extend as far as Washington state. We'll have to take action on this as well..”

“okay.”

Perhaps, once this report is published, a large-scale audit will be conducted. Since I have seen what I have seen, I will take a close look at the extent of the influence of pseudo-religion..

“In that case, the cleaning would have been half-hearted..”

Looking at the calm Choi Jun-ho, James Reed felt like he was infinitely lacking..

“sorry.”

“What are you sorry for??”

“I pretended to know everything but couldn't really help. It was rotting to the point where it got so serious that I didn't even notice it.…….”

I said this with sincere reflection, but what came back was a snort..

“If you try to hide it, it won't be easy to find no matter what you do. It's not your fault. Before I came here, I didn't know how sneaky the Thunderbird was. He probably knows that I came this far..”

Are the thunderbirds already sensing their presence? A part of my heart felt cold when I thought that he must have guessed his intention..

“Dangerous. I have to step down.”

“Of course you should.”

“Junho is?”

“I have to go see him. That was the goal from the beginning. I wish they could at least come meet me to save me the trouble of looking for them, but they wouldn't be so friendly.?”

Rather, looking at Choi Jun-ho's excited face, James Reed realized that his way of thinking was completely different from his own..

While doing body modification myself, I was often told that I was crazy, but whenever I saw Choi Jun-ho in action, I felt an insurmountable difference..

“it's crazy…….”

“As a graduate student, you and your friends are even crazier..”

I could never empathize with Choi Jun-ho’s last words..

*       *       *

The brat was sent back for follow-up reasons. The fact that a city that has been running peacefully for so long has actually become the territory of a divine beast will be quite shocking, so normalizing it will be accompanied by quite a lot of noise..

“Am I finally alone?.”

There was significance in the fact that he became alone after sending away his petty man. Although she was a useful resource, it was tiring to follow her and talk to her about everything..

Since we finally had a reason to separate, everything went smoothly..

“Just thinking about this is proof that I'm being lazy..”

If it were me in the past, I would have cut it off as soon as I thought it was annoying and ran towards my goal..

But now I can think about it.

All of this was a side effect of returning to sanity and adapting to society..

My changed response made me feel like I had come back to my senses, but at the same time, I felt like it was annoying. I felt like it was a hassle to pay attention to being considerate of someone when I was busy looking for someone to kill..

The absence of Yongyong, who cared about someone and always talked to him, is rather unfamiliar..

In particular, the absence of Yongyong, who could provide a lot of useful information in the current situation, was regrettable..

I'll follow you a little closer.

“It's not there when you need it. He seems like a useless guy..”

If only the waters had been opened, a stream of information about the Thunderbird would have come out. I was curious as to what this guy named Shinsoo was thinking..

Yongyong, Hyuna, Dragon, and even the guy who calls himself God, all Shinsoo move with their own purpose..

“I guess I'll have to listen to it myself. Previously.”

I frowned as I sensed the hematoma that was raging inside me earlier..

I didn't like the fact that the guy who had been hiding away from me was now openly revealing his presence..

I tried to just ignore it and move on, but it seemed like there was no sign of giving up. He felt that he should silence the actions that were disturbing Sangyeong..

“If you're bothering me about something that doesn't matter, I want to get rid of it..”

Then I realized that it wasn't fair since I was going to be swept away as well..

Is there any way to stop this guy from doing anything? Would you rather cut off a limb? It would be painful for me too, but I thought it wouldn't be that bad if he didn't recover. Because in the world of imagination, you can survive without eating or sleeping..

Thinking that I had to think of a good way, I quietly entered the world of imagery..

Soon a hematoma appeared in front of me..

“It's hard to get a glimpse of your face. It's only after I call you that that I can barely see your face..”

It's my face, but I don't know why it looks like I want to hit it like that. He was smiling triumphantly, as if he was sure that he couldn't be shaken off, but I kept feeling like I wanted to break that expectation..

“Is your purpose to disturb me??”

“No way. On the contrary, no one wants your victory more than me, right? If you die, I die too, so I need to support you so you can live a long life..”

“You know how precious your life is..”

“You have to live long to have many interesting experiences. If it weren't for you, how would I go back to the past and become an old man in the back room??”

Sharing everything can strengthen bonds, but it can also create feelings of disgust..

This is absolutely not homophobia.

There's no way I'm the same kin as this crazy guy..

It's just a lament that comes from not being able to separate from a leech that was born from a once-in-a-lifetime mistake..

“Stop talking nonsense. Explain why you went on a rampage.”

“I thought about it, and I figured it might be better to help you.…….”

“I said I didn't like that?”

“Don't show personal feelings.”

“There is no reason not to put it forward. If you're done with the bullshit, go in..”

The smile on Hematoma's mouth was erased..

“Do you think you can win if you stick with Shinsu like this??”

“of course.”

“In my view, you lose.”

“…….”

“And because of your stubbornness, I too will die. Your guy made a stupid choice and deserved to die, but he doesn't want to get caught up in it and die. If he was going to commit suicide, he would rather hand himself over to me. I'll kill Shinsu cleanly and return to you..”

I listened to him until the end..

“Are you done with the bullshit??”

It seemed like they were trying to scare me somehow, but it didn't seem to have any effect. If you're going to hold the hand of a hematologist because you're afraid of the thunderbird, it's better to die..

The hematoma shouted as if it had read my thoughts..

“You son of a bitch! You can't do it now!”

As I gave up my regrets, the hematoma stood up in a vein in my neck and screamed..

“Isn’t that something you have to do to know?.”

“Even if you don't try it, there is a certain thing! You are weaker than Shinsoo!”

“But you can win?”

“Because I'm not weak like you.”

“Are you done with the bullshit? I'm going now.”

There was no need to listen any more, so it was time to go back without hesitation..

“I'm going crazy. Then just use me instead.!”

“What does that mean??”

“Use me to get rid of the Thunderbird.!”

“…….”

Was it true that you didn't want to die? Hematology has promised full cooperation in eliminating Thunderbird without making any promises..

Then the story will be different. He knows as much about me as I know about hematomas. If you exclude selfishness and cooperate fully, the usefulness is endless..

Voluntary graduate students should be used from head to toe..

“If you ask so earnestly, there's nothing I can't grant you..”

“Ha, you used your own life as a hostage to threaten me. There won't be a crazy person like you..”

“There's no reason to listen to such a crazy person..”

“They say a crazy person doesn't know he's crazy. That seems to be true. A fake becomes infinitely smaller in front of the real thing..”

“Stop talking nonsense, we have agreed to cooperate, so just provide the labor I need until I catch the Thunderbird. If you want to live.”

“…Bastard. Okay, let's cooperate at least for survival this time..”

No matter how many times I look at the severely distorted face of a hematoma, I never get tired of it..

I feel like my bad feelings are being healed because of him..

If it continues like this for 30 more years, I think the sediment will be removed by about 1%..

“We will recognize your experience and treat you like a team leader rather than a junior graduate student. Best regards, team leader.”

“Stop talking about that stupid graduate student. Aren’t you tired of playing with things that are out of date??”

“I'm not sick of it.”

“It's time to make these idiots useful. I think three days will be enough..”

“Two days. Deal with it all in there.

“…At any moment, I will drive you out and take over your body. You'll lock yourself in a corner and miss the past..”

“If you can, try it.”

That's how the hematoma joined..

*       *       *

Hematoma is like two sides of the same coin to me. As I watched him in my last life, I regretted it and longed to return to the past. On the other hand, no one knows more about its existence than I do..

This also applied in reverse. After I regained control, the hematoma watched everything I did beyond my consciousness, waiting for an opportunity..

He knows everything I have. The guy kept his promise. While I was working on my condition in the safe house for two days, I succeeded in building a solid system using Mandeuk, Gwangsimi, and Jeryeon during the two days I gave them..

“You weren't even using half of your power properly..”

“…….”

I didn't like his boastful attitude, but it was also hard to deny..

The guy who built a system to obey his commands made it possible for me to freely use the gifts I had..

Even if he disappears later, the system still exists, so I can eat it all up..

Originally, everything in the world tasted best when eaten raw..

“Even with this, we cannot guarantee victory. But it could make for a fun fight. It's a pity that I'm not the one to taste it.”

“Instead of you, I will feel free to taste your hands..”

“You're talking nonsense until the end..”

“If you're dissatisfied, turn it off.”

“…….”

After defeating the eater, I came out of the safe house and entered the Thunderbird's territory..

Just because it was the Thunderbird realm, the world didn't suddenly turn upside down or anything. On the outside, there seemed to be no change. No, to be exact, it felt like it wasn't any different. The eerily subdued silence and the artificial force wave disguised as naturalness cannot even be detected unless it is at a tolerable level. And it'll go deep into Thunderbird territory and be cooked just the way it wants..

“That's right, he's a sneaky guy..”

It was as if he had put on dark tint to avoid revealing himself. When the veil that was intentionally hidden was lifted, the presence of the thunderbird was detected..

In an environment created so that only he could see, his gaze was precisely fixed on me..

I lifted the curtain and made eye contact with the thunderbird..

“How long are you going to hide it? Do you want me to go to your nest??”

Paaaaat!

As soon as I said that, a storm raged. The wind was so strong that it was difficult for a strong young man to hold his body properly..

In the wind, I was able to spot a thunderbird that had already arrived in front of me. The guy, who was over 100 meters tall, slowly shrunk while covered in strong winds, and soon turned into a human figure similar in size to me..
