The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 67

67fury

Lee Se-hee greeted Da-hyeon Jeong, who suddenly contacted her and came to visit, with a surprised expression..

“What happened here? Do you have any concerns? Should I bring some wine??”

“No, I just wanted to ask you something..”

“What?”

Looking at Jeong Da-hyun's stiff face, Lee Se-hee immediately grasped the situation..

“The atmosphere is unusual there these days.?”

“I knew it?”

“I guess Junho didn’t tell you? You only told me. What should I do with this?.”

“······.”

At that moment, Lee Se-hee saw a ghost and quickly apologized..

“I'm sorry. So stop staring. My face is going to get pierced. I'll tell you right away. huh? please let me speak.”

“Tell me quickly.”

Where did my friend, who was full of teasing, go?.

Nowadays there are absolutely no ghosts. It would be the end if I told you that Rakshasa looks good on you.?

Lee Se-hee sighed deeply and said..

“The government and Busan City are about to clash..”

“···also.”

“There were rumors going around there too.?”

“huh.”

“The government doesn't want the general public to know. The fact that there was no mention of it in the National Security Agency probably means that it will be handled as quietly as possible. Probably only Junho and a very small number of people from the Blue House will come forward. Somehow I know?”

“know.”

When conducting certain operations, the only place where security was maintained was the Blue House..

This happened because there were more people who were acting as straws with ties to the guild than there were public servant hunters who really had faith and did their work..

Actually, what’s lingering in Jeong Da-hyun’s mind is a different thought..

Why did he tell Lee Se-hee but not himself?.

“···I'm thinking that?”

“······.”

Both then and now, Lee Se-hee is a ghost. Da-hyun Jeong said yes in silence..

“I'd like to say that he secretly told me only, but in reality, it's not like special treatment. Junho told me this because he wanted our group to not be tangled up with the mayor of Busan. Dahyun, you are clean that way, so there was no need to say anything. It's a little easier now?”

“I wasn't particularly worried.”

But I couldn't help but feel relieved and my expression relaxed..

“I worry a lot but pretend not to care.”

“I've been very stressed these days?”

“tinana?”

“Yeah, it seems like a lot has accumulated. Horses have a lot of bones in them.”

“Ah, it's still like this. It shouldn't be like this.”

Lee Se-hee gathered her eyebrows and ruffled her hair. It was kind of a habit she had been trying to get rid of for a long time, but it just wouldn't go away..

In the past, it was even worse, to the point where there was a collection of Lee Se-hee's unsophisticated murders..

“Is it because of the Big Bang series? Performance is very good.”

“really? ah! Last time, Junho said he would bring us the National Defense Bureau. While you’re here, please tell me your review..”

“huh.”

Sehee Lee listened to Dahyun Jeong's review of the Big Bang series for a while..

Reviews from people who have used it on the front lines are very helpful in improving products..

Because the Big Bang series has high output, special attention must be paid to power control, and a guide to fully control the power was essential..

“It's listed as a point of improvement, so I'll point it out one more time. After all, it's good to have friends?”

“The person who didn't take care of the Big Bang series for that friend was the Shinsung Guild general manager..”

“Oh, I put it off because Junho said he would take care of it. Could it be that I forgot our Jeong Dahyun?.”

“Still, I’m glad Junho oppa took care of me..”

This time, Lee Se-hee's expression changed suddenly. She wondered if she had just heard something wrong, but when she saw Dahyun Jeong's mouth slightly curled up, she was convinced that it was not something in vain..

“What did you say just now? brother?”

“We're done talking, I'll go soon.”

“for a moment! Why aren't you answering what I say?.”

“······.”

Instead of answering, Dahyun Jeong smiled. In Lee Se-hee's view, it was the smile a winner shows to a loser..

“I'll go.”

“hey! Dahyun Jeong!”

* * *

The day came when Cheon Myeong-guk went to Busan..

It's a business trip you can't return from if you're not careful..

I wondered if I had to risk my life to go, but I was impressed by the fact that they did not want to miss even a single possibility and were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a good cause..

Of course I didn't sympathize..

“Coming back healthy is the top priority..”

“Thank you for your concern, Choin..”

“But the mayor of Busan didn't seem to listen to what others said..”

Busan Mayor Yoo Seong-su is a typical man who lives with his own taste. Looking at his work so far, not only does he have a low understanding of the Awakened, but he also has a strong tendency to think of them as tools for his own ambitions..

When I saw people boasting about their success, I automatically thought, ‘I was lucky.’.

Cheon Myeong-guk laughed bitterly..

“Honestly, I think the same way..”

“Then there's no reason to bet on low odds, right?.”

“It's an effort not to see blood..”

Why are you emphasizing this while looking at me?.

It's natural to take responsibility for your own choices..

From what I see, most people know the taste after trying it with poop or soybean paste. There were very few people who changed their minds after hearing what was going on around them. Most people came to their senses only after tasting it..

The reason I risked my life in this case was to save as many lives as possible..

“There is no peace without blood.”

If each person has power and has different ideas, the only way to resolve it is to confirm the superiority of power and force it to be implemented..

“I just try to see as little as possible. Sometimes it's too much.”

“It seems like he's telling me to listen to him..”

“Do you mean me? Not at all.”

“Maybe it's my imagination. Anyway, the most important thing is life. Don't sacrifice yourself for others. Take care of your ring too..”

Cheon Myeong-guk's abilities have been proven since his last life. If you go out and end up dying, you may have to join forces with some strange guy..

Then, the compatibility that has been good until now may become the worst.?

I didn't really want that kind of development..

“I will take good care of the ring. And thank you for your concern.”

“There is no one who is a good fit for the job like Director Cheon. This is called a favorite, right? My two favorites are Director Cheon and Director Jeong..”

“······.”

“It's true.?”

“···yes. Thank you for caring me.”

My voice suddenly drops. What is it, I just called it my favorite?.

“I have more preparations to make, so I’ll leave now..”

Is it because I said I have two favorites? Director Cheon Myeong-guk, you are surprisingly greedy..

* * *

The president heard my complaint and burst into laughter..

“It will probably be more difficult for Director Cheon to deal with you than to persuade Yoo Seong-su in Busan..”

“Oh, no way.”

“We need to listen to Director Cheon’s story as well..”

How well do I and Cheon Myeong-guk get along??

The combination of Cheon Myeong-guk, who solved things one by one with an indifferent expression, and me, who took action immediately, was better than I could have imagined..

Joo-ho Jeong and Myeong-guk Cheon are so comfortable working with me. Is this like a practical joke from their boss?.

“Anyway, Director Cheon must be in danger..”

“It must be dangerous. He is classified as one of my close associates, but Yoo Seong-su will not let go of Director Cheon, who has walked on his own feet. Even if you do well, you will be arrested..”

“Are you going there knowing it’s a trap??”

“That's why I dried it. But Director Cheon knew that if he was caught, even that would be justification..”

“It's a cause.”

It was a similar category to what Sehee Lee told me about experts. It must be a process to give legitimacy to the government's actions by having Director Cheon caught..

But even though it was a trap, he walked on his own feet. If he dies, I honestly think it would be a dog's death, but there is no need to say it out loud and belittle Cheon Myeong-guk's sacrificial spirit..

“Director Cheon has always taken the lead in bad things..”

“All right.”

“huh?”

“Don’t you want Director Cheon to get hurt as little as possible? Let's take care.”

The president raised his hands and expressed his intention to surrender..

“I can't win. That's correct. Director Cheon still has a lot of work to do..”

“I know. I have a sense of humor too..”

But I don't know why people around me keep saying I don't have any sense..

Anyway, it’s in the middle of enemy territory..

Bringing them back safely is never easy. Still, since I'm level 7, I'll take care of it if you just let me take care of myself..

“But what do you plan to do??”

“I’m also planning to go to Busan..”

“when?”

“Right now.”

I followed Cheon Myeong-guk down to Busan..

* * *

Upon arriving in Busan, Cheon Myeong-guk habitually looked around..

It was of a size worthy of the second largest city in Korea. However, there was only a feeling of controlled vitality, and the entire city was rigid..

“They're preparing for war..”

Although it was pretending to be an ordinary day, there was war spirit everywhere in the city..

The line between the awakened people wandering around each building was unclear as to whether they were hunters or villains, and the movement of citizens was discouraged..

‘not good.’

Yoo Seong-su said that he helped build Busan's economy, but in Cheon Myeong-guk's view, that was not the case at all..

It was filled with all kinds of corruption and condescension, so it was almost like a flashing flash of light. Like it or not, Yoo Seong-su's reign must come to an end..

Meanwhile, the car he was riding in got closer to Busan City Hall. The more he did it, the more hostile he felt..

I left the Shinigami Guild and took on a key position in the government to handle things, but it's been a long time since I've faced this kind of hostility..

The ultimate goal is regime change, so I thought it would be at a reasonable level, but I never thought it would be this blatant..

At that time, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of Busan City Hall..

“We will take care of you.”

Hunters surrounded Cheon Myeong-guk, who got out of the car. The words were guides and escorts, but in reality, it was closer to being dragged along..

“egg plant.”

Upon arriving at the entrance to City Hall, hunters armed with firearms and swords were standing guard. Before going inside, we inspected our belongings..

“Please return any weapons or artifacts..”

Cheon Myeong-guk took out a dagger and a healing agent from his chest. I thought it would end like this, but one of the hunters pointed to Cheon Myeong-guk's ring..

“What is that ring? I feel the force.”

“It's a wedding ring. Should I return this too??”

“All items with a sense of force must be returned..”

“It's the ring of my wife who went away..”

The hunter was conflicted but then nodded..

“···I won't be able to do anything with it, so I'll turn a blind eye..”

For your information, my wife, who went away, was in the United States. It's not a lie.

After completing the body search, I went inside. When we arrived at the mayor's office, Yoo Seong-su and about a dozen hunters were inside the office, which was decorated as well as the Blue House..

“Isn’t this Director Cheon, who is famous for doing his job well? Very nice to meet you.”

“Long time no see, Mayor..”

“It's been a while. We have a good relationship even though we don't see each other often. But looking at what's going on now, it seems difficult to have a good relationship.?”

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk neither confirmed nor denied.

“Now, let’s hear why you came here.?”

“Any further resistance is meaningless. I encourage you to acknowledge your suspicions and turn yourself in, even now. We will treat you as kindly as possible.”

Yoo Seong-su, who was listening, burst into laughter. Cheon Myeong-guk watched calmly without changing his expression..

“Did you really come this far just to say that? huh? try to convince me?”

“you're right.”

“You have great confidence. It's really amazing! In the end, isn't it all about taking everything without giving up anything??”

“As I said before, I will try to be as lenient as possible.······.”

“Okay, what is the source of that confidence? That's because I'm really curious.”

“This is Junho Choi.”

“I can't believe I'm a superhuman and I show that confidence?”

At those words, Cheon Myeong-guk realized why the situation had to turn out this way..

Yoo Seong-su has no idea the extent of superhuman power..

When evaluating by level, it was clear that they were thinking about going from level 6 to 7 and from 7 to 8..

In particular, we do not know how big of a disaster Choi Jun-ho is..

If he were the mayor of Busan, he would have fallen flat on his face right away..

“···The mayor is overlooking the power of superhumans..”

“It's not scary. But what are you going to do with it? Right now, there are over a thousand awakened people in this city hall alone. No matter how strong a superhuman is, he is still human in the end..”

If there are too many in front of Choi Jun-ho, the number of corpses will only increase..

“So are you going to go all the way??”

“That can't be possible. Because I'm a benevolent mayor. So let me give you a chance. An opportunity to persuade Busan citizens.”

“If it's a chance······.”

“I'm going to broadcast. What do you think of the final debate between the Busan City Council, including the Busan mayor, and the Blue House special envoy, the Awakened Security Office??”

You're saying you're going to have fun cooking..

Cheon Myeong-guk nodded while looking at the darkly shining gaze of Yoo Seong-su..

“I will accept it.”

“good. That's great judgment.”

1Hours later, Cheon Myeong-guk was sitting in the Busan City Council..

Seongsu Yoo and 10 Busan city council members assisting him were seated at the Busan City Council..

The original 47 city council members were replaced by 10 city council members who were unilaterally appointed when Yoo Seong-su was elected. Those who criticized this despised it, calling it Yoo Seong-su's Sipsangsi (十常侍)..

However, it cannot be denied that Yoo Seong-soo is the strongest personal force in Busan..

“From now on, we will begin the final discussion between the Blue House Awakened Security Office Director and Busan City..”

The discussion began with a shout from the moderator. Cheon Myeong-guk clicked his tongue when he saw the broadcast camera rolling..

The other side was also well prepared. The intention may be to highlight the conflict and rally supporters. It was a dirty trick that I had no choice but to get involved in even though I knew it..

The person who got the right to speak first and stood up was a large, dark-skinned middle-aged man with a close-shaven head..

Kwak Do-woon was the younger brother of the master of the Whale Guild, the largest in Busan, and Yoo Seong-su's right-hand man..

“This is Busan City Chairman Kwak Do-un. I am curious as to why the government has been ignoring the requests of Busan City and is persecuting it like this..”

“The government has never persecuted Busan City..”

“Have you ever been persecuted? Busan City has repeatedly requested support, but wasn't it the government that rejected them all??”

“It is distributed according to the incident rate.······.”

“therefore! That means the government decides the ratio arbitrarily.?”

Kwak Do-un’s words became increasingly harsh. Then other city council members also raised their voices and put pressure on Cheon Myeong-guk..

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk closed his mouth in an atmosphere of unilateral push without disclosing data. If I present concrete data here and refute it, will it really be convincing? I was originally brought here for the purpose of turning things around.?

When I thought that way, I felt like my efforts were futile..

From the beginning, the opponent was trying to see the end from the beginning..

Should we hold back to avoid shedding blood, or should we let citizens know the truth?.

The former allowed negotiations to continue, but the latter meant catastrophe..

While Cheon Myeong-guk was worrying, the city council members began talking amongst themselves. I raised my voice against the government's usual unfair treatment, one-sided extortion, and discrimination..

Later, they answered among themselves without even listening to the answer..

“Seeing as there is no answer, I understand that the government is acknowledging that it has been discriminating against Busan..”

“I am······.”

It was when Cheon Myeong-guk, who could no longer hold it in, was about to open his mouth..

Light shimmered on the ring on his hand, creating the shape of a seal with particles of light..

After a while, when the light had completely disappeared, a familiar face appeared in front of them. It was Choi Jun-ho's gift transfer..

It was only then that Cheon Myung-guk realized why the ring was given to him, and his eyes opened wide..

“Junho Choi Superhuman.”

“Director, why can’t you say that there is no discrimination?.”

Choi Jun-ho smiled, but Cheon Myeong-guk's heart sank..

It's over. They're all dead now.

“why are you here?”

Kwak Do-un, I don't know why that crazy guy is messing with the real crazy guy..

Choi Jun-ho smiles brightly. Why can I see the scene that is about to unfold? Did I get the gift of seeing the future?.

“Especially that guy, he's so unlucky..”

“dare······.”

Kwak Do-un, who was furious, could no longer speak. Choi Jun-ho, who pulled out Nuri like lightning, cast a storm of blades. Kwak Do-woon, trapped in the fiercely swirling force, was torn apart without even leaving a body behind..

patter.

Blood and flesh splattering everywhere..

Choi Jun-ho smiled brightly as he made eye contact with Gusoo-si, who had disappeared from Sipsangsi..

“Now, let's start the game. If you don't answer my questions, you die one by one, it's a fun game for only me..”
