The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 344
344fury
The atmosphere in the hall became heavy..
In it, two people were sitting facing each other..
One person was a Westerner with a gentle smile, and the person sitting across from him was a young Asian man..
A gloomy expression appeared on the face of the researcher sitting across from Eric Clarkson, a Westerner..
“This is too much…….”
The amount of report he requested just now was too much for a single researcher to complete..
You can handle all of this? It's absolutely impossible..
Eric Clarkson was not swayed by the negative researcher's words..
Instead, he spoke fluent Korean, which is not suitable for Westerners, along with a gentle expression..
“I guess that means you underestimate your own capabilities..”
“No, Professor. My abilities don't reach that level..”
“Hey, Mr. Kim..”
“Yes, professor.”
“You graduated with honors from Korea University, the most prestigious university here in Korea. During his school days, he was one of the brightest students in his class, and at home he was a dependable son. am i wrong?”
“That's right, but…….”
“Does it make sense for such a son to speak weakly? You are the best talent in Korea. He has a brain that can be called a genius and had an excellent track record before coming here..”
The expression on the face of the researcher called Mr. Kim was full of pride..
Competing in a place where only geniuses gather, my self-esteem was lowered, but it was impossible to get this far without being a genius..
Eric Clarkson nailed it here.
“I believe you will overcome this and become a better researcher..”
“I'll try it.”
“Good. I always believed Our research center has a voluntary work schedule, so come to work at a convenient time. I don't mind leaving work early as long as I get results..”
“But time is running out.”
“Just send it efficiently. Ask for help whenever you need it. I believe Kim can do it..”
Kim's voice was full of faith, and determination appeared on his face..
“…That would be correct. No, that's right. I'm sorry for disappointing you, Professor. I will burn everything I own as soon as you want..”
“Take care of your health. Especially make sure to sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, your health will suffer..”
“yes. Thank you for caring me.”
Mr. Kim, who kept his head down, went outside..
I was given an obviously impossible mission, but a few words from Eric Clarkson made me feel like I would definitely accomplish it..
I'm probably going to have to push myself to do that..
It's always amazing to see.
I was watching quietly and entered the room..
“It's amazing?”
Eric Clarkson, who had already sensed my presence, stirred his coffee cup with a spoon and smiled leisurely..
“This isn't that difficult. Because performance is thoroughly evaluated, a high salary is guaranteed. It is easy to get researchers who still have enthusiasm to work sincerely..”
“how is that possible?”
“It is a matter of imprinting one’s rank based on one’s skills and giving recognition. Men want to show results for those who recognize them..”
It was a tactic carried out by clearly looking into people's psychology..
“Above all, it is important to narrow the scope of decisions and allow them to decide for themselves. Because you make your own decisions, not because others force you to do so. People who have accumulated this level of knowledge have a sense of responsibility..”
It is said that the trick is to exquisitely control the gap..
It was a method that became more admirable the more I listened to it..
I should have done that too.
Then an unexpected word came out..
“He lacked that skill when he took care of us..”
[He noticed it?]
“Did you know??”
“They need us, of course they noticed. Probably all my other friends noticed too.”
“I was immature.”
It was probably a natural result, as they tried to manipulate graduate students into being specialists..
“Still, Junho’s suggestion was so good that we hired people to do the work for us. If those people gain practical experience, they will be helpful to this country..”
“Should I say thank you??”
“No, because we both got what we wanted. are you okay.”
I can't stand it. I learned that fooling an expert is difficult for me as a beginner..
At the same time, I felt like I had a lot to learn..
It's a skill that can make even people who are already bored with graduate school voluntarily change their mind..
What is even more surprising is that the achievement was made in Korean rather than the familiar English..
It was only one case, but there was a lot to see and learn..
“I'll learn a lot in the future.”
“You're welcome as much as you want.”
[Gift kids are dying..]

[There's a reason to become stronger here?]
As I was leaving the lab, Yongyong suddenly asked me:.
“reason? why is that.”
[Just curious. You're already strong enough to make it difficult to find enemies, right? Both humans and monsters. Shinsoo, I don't want to be hostile to you..]
To lie.
There was definitely curiosity, but it seemed like the desire to figure out my intentions was stronger..
“Because I want to meet God.”
[uh?]
“I want to meet God.”
[What does that mean? god doesn't exist.]
Yongyong said it as if he was certain, but I didn’t believe it..
“From a human perspective, Shinsu was similar. It was a transcendent being that existed in a world where only humans and monsters existed. But Shinsoo existed. Then God can exist too.”
[Because there is no God. Why do I keep being convinced that God exists??]
Because if it weren't for God, my return to the past wouldn't be explained..
Since even divine beasts say it is impossible to go back in time, only gods can create this harmony..
“Anyway, there is a God.”
[Let's say so. But why do you want to meet God??]
“Why I want to meet you?”
That's simple..
When I meet God, I want to ask him why he sent me back to the past..
To give me a chance to make amends?
Or as a product of coincidence?
don't know what it is.
But if I meet God, I will be able to answer these questions. This is a fact that cannot be said to Yongyong..
[What, what are you thinking? Why can't I read it?.]
“Well, okay.”
I recently found out that even if I don't repel Yongyong, he won't be able to read my thoughts unless I want to be caught..
Does that mean I have grown that much? Anyway, it's probably a good thing.
“I have something I want to ask God. To do that, you have to become stronger..”
[But why do I have to become stronger to meet God??]
“Of course…….”
I also just think that God exists. But no one knows whether it will exist or not..
Because Yongyong has doubts about how to meet God right away..
In times like this, I have to find it in my own way, with my own methods..
The best thing would be for God to come find me directly..
“If I become strong enough to threaten God, he will jump out in surprise..”
[and…….]
That's the way things are in the world..
If you think it won't affect you in any way, you watch like you're watching a fire across a river, and only then do you react if you think it's going to affect you..
The same goes for God.
They might attack you to eliminate it, saying it's a threat..
I have a desire to deal with God, but more than that, I have a greater desire to solve mysteries..
“God will be similar to you divine beasts..”
[What's wrong, leave me out. Hyuna too.]
“I won't say that.”
That's what they said, but Yongyong and Hyuna are also dark people on the inside..
I don't trust it 100% either..
So, rather than believing what they say and being complacent with reality, I try to have the power to overcome it..
“All you have to do is focus on becoming stronger throughout your life..”
Then, won't I meet God someday?.
Because the me of today is stronger than the me of yesterday, and the me of tomorrow will be stronger..
[…….]
Yongyong looked at me with a bored expression..

After leaving the research institute, I arrived at the Blue House at the invitation of the President..
The first thing I saw was Cheon Myeong-guk's relieved face..
“Well done! I believed in you.”
What you believed in me is about dealing with Berserker..
But unlike the words, the feelings I felt were the complete opposite..
“I didn't believe it.”
“…I truly believed it. I'm sad that you don't know my true feelings..”
“To be honest, some were simulated.?”
Cheon Myeong-guk tried to ignore my question, but he knows that I have been diligently activating the simulation ever since I found out Basakhan's identity as Berserker..
Cheon Myeong-guk, unable to overcome my persistent gaze, sighed and said,.
“9% were dead, 63% were seriously injured, 27% were slightly injured, and 1% were nothing..”
“There is the lowest chance of just passing over..”
“This too is rounded to 1%. It was in the 0% range.”
“Isn't the simulation malfunctioning??”
“This is an accurate decision based on information about Choin..”
Simulation performance is also a thing of the past..
As I learned about Basakan's identity, I started thinking about how to deal with a guy who was avoiding sparring rather than thinking about attacking Berserker..
Of course, I had no intention of killing him at all. Why kill a great guy who comes back to life like a roly-poly even if I beat him as much as I want?.
I am not the one to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs..
“What you are saying now, Mr.…….”
“Ah, it looks like my true feelings have come out..”
“Yes, I heard it all..”
“Anyway, yes.”
One way or another, it's clear that I have no intention of killing Berserker..
“At least I was relieved that Berserker-sama could not be killed by Superhuman-nim. Instead, please control your strength carefully. The human body is more fragile than you think.”
“Be careful.”
Even if that were the case, there was no way Berserker would die so easily. Rather, as your skills improve, your body will become stronger..
Instead, even if you endure well, it would be difficult to increase the frequency or increase the intensity more than necessary..
“Oh, please keep this a secret from Berserker. I've been seeing you letting off steam lately, so I'm thinking of starting with discipline..”
“Berserker, you are now a respected superhuman, so do you have any intention of treating him as well??”
“Not at all.”
“…….”
“Although Berserker appears to be sane, he is fundamentally a crazy person. He's the crazy guy that no one should interact with. If I don't beat that guy up regularly, the madness inside me can come out at any time..”
“is there any other way? For example, drug treatment.”
“Would you admit that a guy with soaring self-esteem is crazy and get medication??”
Right now, he claims that the hematoma is normal..
I know this because I've met a lot of crazy people..
A crazy person never admits that he is crazy..
[I think so.]
Yongyong immediately admits that he has had a taste of human society..
“…That's correct.”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who paused for a moment, also obediently accepted my words. It seemed like he was admitting that Berserker was crazy and that I had been pressing him on a regular basis..
[But it's true?]
Maybe it's real, maybe it's not.
[Eh?]
One thing is clear: violence is a special medicine for crazy people who cannot communicate. I have never found a better remedy for Berserker than violence. So this is the treatment with the least side effects..
[…I started to feel sorry for that person..]
Shinsu pretends to sympathize with humans..
Anyway, after finishing the story about Berserker, I moved on to the next topic..
“So, tell me the business..”
“Did you know??”
“I don't think they called me just to ask about Berserker's condition..”
You could have confirmed that Berserker was safe through other means, but the fact that they called me and asked for help is strange in itself. Of course, I thought there would be other matters besides that..
“Well, that's right. However, rather than a request, I invited you because I thought it was right to share it with you..”
“Tell me.”
“that is…….”
Take a break while activating the simulation until the end..
You're probably thinking about whether it's a good idea to tell me or not..
It was said that even after repeating dozens of times, using it one more time at the end was such a serious issue..
And what came out of Cheon Myeong-guk's mouth was just as important..
“Chairman Lee Young-moon collapsed. This is Lee Young-moon, Chairman of Shinsung Group, whom you all know..”
