The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 390
390fury
Obviously, the conversation can only proceed with Lee Se-hee. With just a few words from me, Sehee Lee immediately caught what I wanted and immediately took steps to get it..
Shinsung Group, a leader among global companies, has deep ties to each country and is close to people who have held key positions in each country..
“It will take some time for places classified as so-called developed countries. But developing countries can get it quickly..”
It is said that it is a difference in the system, and also in the mindset of the people who held power in their hands..
However, many people have long questioned whether the existence of Shinsu is in the national interest..
If I approach those people, I can quickly get the information I want..
As for Lee Se-hee, once Cheonmyeong-guk is stabilized, I plan to request that it be recognized at the government level..
“Should we meet one by one?.”
Once the list of new beasts is complete, the next step is to visit them one by one. However, these guys can be friendly or hostile to humans, so I'll have to use Yongyong..
But is it already time to discuss the next presidential election? Although there is a general election in a few months, this is the first time I have heard Lee Se-hee make such a blatant comment..
“Thanks to Junho, the ruling party will win a landslide victory..”
“It's not a problem because I had an accident.?”
“It's diplomatically noisy, but there's no bad news at all..”
Of course, there are signs of a war breaking out in a neighboring country, and Cheon Myeong-guk is moving his troops to the border, so the sense of crisis is growing..
But Lee Se-hee explains that no one thinks it will escalate into war..
“There is trust in the current president..”
A person who possesses a simulation gift and is at the pinnacle of the monster called politics who has never once failed in his political activities..
That was the image of Cheon Myeong-guk..
Simulation gifts that allow you to replay what will actually happen in the future while thinking about it have been in the spotlight every day since the appearance of Cheon Myeong-guk..
“But that's only possible because we're the current president..”
This meant that it was able to exert such power because it was an ability honed through blood-drying experiences in all kinds of situations..
“But is it certain that Chung Joo-ho is running in the presidential election??”
“Yes why?”
“There's a rumor that I don't know anything about it yet. It's a rumor?”
It seems like Jung Joo-ho's long-awaited theory is slowly coming out..
But this guy still doesn't seem to know that he was selected as a candidate..
I wonder what their facial expressions will be like when they find out later..
As I was about to break up with Lee Se-hee and leave the Shinsung Group headquarters, a whitish new type appeared and hovered next to me..
It’s for use..
[I'm here.]
“Are you here?.”
[Please welcome me. What kind of person is so cruel?]
“Hyuna and I were swearing so much that they came and asked me to welcome them.?”
There is no such thing as a Jeokban Hajang..
Of course it was only half a joke.
But Yongyong’s reaction was real..
[Uh, huh? why do i curse at you.]
“I deliberately went there first to curse. It seems like I have so much accumulated.”
[…….]
Yongyong looked like he wanted to say a lot, but he didn't say more, perhaps because he realized that it would be difficult to even get his money's worth..
[That was really the intention.?]
“no. I was joking, but I didn't know it was serious..”
[uh? uh?]
“If Hyuna and Shinsu had anything to discuss, I left it for them to discuss, but they just cursed at me??”
[Oh no! I didn't curse at you! Yes, Hyuna! Hyuna cursed at you! I was just listening! I feel wronged!]
It seems that not only humans but also divine beasts use irrational moves to get out of a predicament..
I clicked my tongue looking at the pathetic Yongyong..
“I even sold my friends.”
[no! Why would I lie? Hyuna is more dissatisfied with you than she seems? So listen to me.]
And Yongyong followed behind me..
“So, the result of talking with Hyuna was?”
[doesn't exist.]
“Still, you are confident in front of me..”
[I guess neither I nor Hyunna had thought of such an idea. From the beginning, we only thought about how to handle the power, but we didn't think about processing it and turning it into a deteriorated version..]
“Then, the gift started from the power of the divine beast.?”
[I can assure you that is not the case. The Gift is a power as mysterious as the powers we possess. Neither I nor Hyuna know what principle it came from..]
“Other gods may know.”
[That's right?]
“What on earth do you know?.”
[Oh no! I'm not the only one who doesn't know this. Even other divine beasts won’t know?]
Since I had no expectations from Yongyong in the first place, I was not disappointed..
Wouldn't that be the case if he did that?.
The point was that there were no surprises because it was Yongyong..
[Wow, that's disappointing..]
“Stop talking nonsense.”
In the end, without any gain or loss, I walked on with Yongyong in tow..
There was still much work left to do..
* * *
Although I told Cheon Myeong-guk that I would keep quiet for the time being, there was a clear temperature difference in understanding what was contained therein..
Normally, staying quiet here meant not being noticed by people, but for me, staying quiet meant meeting people around me without leaving Korea as much as possible..
I visited the research center to see how much progress has been made so far..
But the guy's attitude towards me was different from usual..
“Joo, Junho! Come on! Welcome back safely!”
“Did you eat something wrong??”
“Are you saying I'm weird now? The strange one is Junho!”
“I'm normal.”
“Jun Ho! Junho needs to realize what he has done! It's not that I'm strange, it's that Junho, who was so calm as if nothing happened, is begging me to be strange.!”
“what else can i say.”
There is one thing that even small-time men are mistaken about. Previously, the person I was was unchanged..
It's just that the person dealt with is different..
No matter who commits a fatal act, the result is the same. Because of that difference, the attitude towards me changed..
Of course, there are things that cannot be explained by that alone..
“Okay, are you hiding something??”
“uh? Oh no?”
“You know that if you're caught hiding it, you can't fix it.?”
“that is…….”
He was whining like a puppy that needed to urinate, so I wondered what was going on, and then an unexpected guy appeared from behind the slim man..
“It’s been a while, Headbreaker. You look healthy..”
The guy who spoke calmly was none other than Maxim Geddes. I couldn't figure out why this guy who was supposed to be in America came here..
“What to do with only one year. What's going on here??”
“I have something to see you. But Macho Man stopped me and said no..”
“Why is he?”
“You could die trying to see it. If you see that your hand is not coming out, you can see it as meaning that you can continue the conversation.?”
“Is it because of this incident?.”
“It cannot be said that there is no connection. What happened there was also an extension of it..”
Maxim Geddes spoke calmly, but the slim man next to him was fidgeting. Then he looked back and forth between me and the guy and sighed..
Anyone who sees it will think something has happened..
But it is also true that although we are having a conversation, we have no business..
“I don't really have anything to see you with. I need to talk more with this person.?”
“Then I will ask briefly and leave..”
“say.”
“Is our party currently in your range??”
“Well then, isn't it?.”
“There are people who are optimistic.”
“If you see the trick you guys pulled, you'll know how to deal with it.?”
If it is said that the party did it, it moved the U.S. Congress to keep it in check..
Arnold's attempt to take a hard line was also influenced by the party..
The White House was in a position to thoroughly stop it..
So, rather than thinking that the entire United States should be held responsible for American problems, we should think of the White House and Congress separately..
There's a party here.
“If Congress must do something, then the party absolutely has to do something..”
[It's refreshing to say that you're going to kill them both..]
“…also.”
Maxim Guedes has a face that you already expected..
That means that even within the party, they are sensing their fate..
“Wasn’t this what you wanted to hear??”
“right.”
“Then go.”
“I became increasingly concerned about what action to take against us. Even though Phantom knew there was a possibility that you were alive, he couldn't give up his greed. It's putting us all in danger.”
“It sounds like you think differently..”
“I am different.”
“different?”
“'Cause I thought you wouldn't die.”
“It's surprising.”
There was a guy who knew how to distinguish between wishful thinking and reality..
“That's why I was opposed to any tricks here. He also opposed keeping Herbert in check..”
“Then isn’t this different from the direction the party is pursuing??”
“Because we are no longer a group that rules the world from within. Only by accepting reality can we look to the future. In that respect, Phantom is still stuck in the past..”
“It sounds like you want to take Phantom's place..”
After a conversation like this, it wasn't hard to figure out what he wanted..
“right.”
“I have no intention of helping you.”
“I'm not looking for direct help either. I just want you to distinguish between those who wanted you dead when you came to America and those who didn't..”
“You make the distinction?”
“okay.”
“Why should I do such a bothersome task??”
“Because it helps you..”
It was quite imposing, but it dragged me into a power struggle. But I'm sure he doesn't know my style, and I was wondering what kind of confidence he was talking about..
“Tell me what helps.”
“I will tell you detailed information about all the divine beasts that the party keeps..”
[what! How do humans know that in detail?!]
“Shinsoo's information?”
I listened to what he said because it was completely unexpected..
The guy's voice gained strength when he saw my reaction..
“You are not the only one who understands about Shinsoo. We also knew about the existence of the Thunderbird, and confirmed that the power of the Divine Beast could be converted into a gift through the Hell Master. I thought it had something to do with him disappearing for a year..”
“…….”
Certainly, the existence of the party was overlooked in that area. It's a place bigger than most countries..
“But now you're talking about something you don't know.”
“right. Because Phantom was using it as his own asset. He tried to do something, but as far as I know he didn't succeed..”
It stinks. But for me it was a no-lose proposition..
“There's nothing I can't do if you give me what I want.”
“Is the transaction concluded??”
“Separate it well.”
I was not sure how well the distinction would be made..
[They're planning to kill you all by saying you're mistaken..]
No way.
[You still do that.]
* * *
“Well done, very good. You really were a great person. right? huh?”
Yunhee's eyes turned to me like a cold dagger..
“I just killed someone who was supposed to kill me?”
“Wow, it's great to see him insist that he did a good job. right?”
“You think I did something wrong.”
“It's not like that in particular.”
“huh?”
It was a different reaction than expected. I thought he was going to make an ugly face and shoot me as hard as he could..
“I feel like I'm going back and forth between two extremes. You know it reminds me of my old self?”
“Once upon a time?”
“When I first became a civil servant hunter.”
“Ah, those were the purest times.”
It was a time when I was at my best, free from the hematoma. I'm a lot softer now than I was then and I don't think I can ever go back..
Clearly, the less entangled a person is and the less things to consider, the more boldly he can act..
“It's really crazy.”
“I'm not crazy.”
“Anyway, my brother at that time was really dangerous. It was like you didn't know where it would go, but now you're showing signs of it again..”
“It won't happen so don't worry.”
“lie.”
“It's real.”
“Have you been fooled by those words once or twice? If you're going to do something in the future, please tell me!”
[Even though he said that, he didn't look like he was looking forward to it at all..]
I guess he knows he can't stop me. There are some things that cannot be helped.
This is called an unavoidable situation..
To change the topic, I decided to ask Yunhee what I was curious about..
“While we're at it, let me ask you something too..”
“what?”
“You probably know about Shinsoo too..”
[Suddenly we move on to talking about Shinsoo.?]
“Shinsu? I know.”
The existence of Shinsoo itself has already become widely known and has become information that anyone with even the slightest interest can know..
People were both curious and fearful of the new beast, and as it was known to have transcendental power and intelligence, unlike existing monsters, there were voices raising concerns that the peace that had been barely achieved would be destroyed..
[We are not such barbaric creatures..]
Originally, unknown beings stimulate the imagination, so there are some things that cannot be helped..
“Shinsoo has power.”
“It's like a gift?”
“…….”
This is also the reason why I asked Yunhee..
Because it deviates from existing common sense, a great truth suddenly pops out..
“Yes, and that divine beast transformed the gift..”
“Looks like it's illegal modification..”
“If it was illegally modified and given to humans, what do you think was the reason??”
How will Shinsoo's actions look from a simple perspective of everything in the world?.
“I don't think it'll be anything special?”
“what?”
“Literally. To Shinsu, humans are infinitely insignificant beings. Then wouldn’t you be able to give it to me as a way to kill time? Just like we leave food out to attract ants and then clean it up..”
“…….”
I was left speechless by a hypothesis that went beyond my imagination..
