The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 8
8fury
While Wang Ju-yeol was talking with Choi Jun-ho, Jeong Da-hyeon was called by Jeong Ju-ho and entered the director's office..
“Excessive suppression, reporting after prior action, passing direct superiors, etc. were committed in a very flashy manner..”
“······.”
A deep sigh came out of Jung Joo-ho’s voice..
“Still, I managed to cover it up somehow..”
“What is Team Leader Wang’s reaction??”
“It was a mess. He asks me to explain why he proceeded with the work over me. In fact, I was the team leader and told the director..”
“sorry.”
“Choi Jun-ho, it's a bomb that doesn't know when it will explode, so I didn't know you would do that..”
“······.”
Jeong Da-hyun kept her mouth shut. Jung Joo-ho's eyes were persistent, but he never opened his mouth..
“You were the one who said you would treat Choi Jun-ho well, Dahyun. tell me why.”
“It is true that Mr. Junho is twisted. But at the same time he's right.”
“I know what you're saying?”
“If this happens. If we had not proceeded with preemptive measures and post-reporting, would the drug organization have been completely busted??”
“······.”
“You've seen the ledger. Starting with guild officials, high-ranking government officials and children of conglomerates. If I hadn't relayed it to the director, it wouldn't have been made public like this..”
“What I'm talking about is a matter of procedure..”
It was that problem that caused Wang Ju-yeol to go crazy..
But both Jung Joo-ho and Jung Da-hyun know about that..
If the ledger went to Wang Ju-yeol, it may not have reached Jeong Ju-ho..
He is the leader of a special team that deals with villains on the front lines, but no one knows that he is a corrupt public servant Hunter..
“Someone I know said that.”
“what?”
“They say civil servants won’t get fired for doing this..”
Dahyun Jeong showed a dizzying smile..
* * *
Jeong Da-hyun, who made Director Geary grab the back of his neck, has never been as refreshing as today..
Wang Ju-yeol gave me a menacing look from a little distance away, but I didn't pay much attention to him since he was someone I always clashed with in the first place..
Rather, I was filled with a sense of efficacy that I had accomplished the mission from beginning to end..
This feeling lasted until I returned home. The extermination of drug gangs with Choi Jun-ho left a lasting impression so strong that it lingered in my mind..
It is clearly a series of actions that exceed the authority of excessive suppression and reporting after taking preliminary action..
But one word from Choi Jun-ho solved everything like magic..
“Civil servant hunters will not be fired.”
right. A civil servant hunter is literally a civil servant. Unless it is a very serious mistake, it usually ends with a light disciplinary action..
Wang Ju-yeol, who is clearly hanging out with a large company and receiving bribes, is making a loud noise. Therefore, the probability of dismissal due to minor reporting omissions that occurred while performing duties was zero..
The process of discovering a villain while patrolling the streets and leading to the extermination of a drug organization. It was proactive, bold, and fast. After becoming a civil servant hunter, I felt like the frustration I felt in the tight system was relieved all at once..
It's all thanks to Choi Jun-ho.
Instead, there will be a record of ignoring the system, but it doesn't matter..
The place I moved to from the Holy Guild, where wealth and honor were guaranteed, was the National Protectorate. If I didn't have the conviction to catch the villain, I would have been satisfied with playing a part in the sacred guild..
In the end, the reason to be an obedient subordinate is to not go against the will of the personnel authority..
But if you give up promotion?
It is possible to freely act according to one's beliefs..
When I left the Holy Guild, I already gave up tens of billions of dollars that I could have earned in the future. It's very easy to give up something else.
Why did I only realize this simple thing now? I feel like a fool.
“To catch a monster you have to be a monster.”
Now I understand.

I want to be an older brother that Yunhee can be proud of..
Because the sins I committed in my last life were so great, I had a strong desire to atone. So, in order to create an image, he boasted about his first achievement after becoming a civil servant hunter..
My brother doesn't cause accidents and works diligently as a public servant..
what wonderful words this is.
Until Yunhee came with a tablet..
“This is about my brother.?”
The screen in front of me listed article titles with somewhat different content than what I talked about yesterday..
Civil servant hunter, controversy over excessive suppression?, eradication of drug gangs, the violence hidden behind it, loss of power, where are the human rights of villains?, National Protective Service, silence on excessive suppression, 'controversy', etc. It was creating controversies..
Among them, the highlight was an article entitled “The National Protectorate protects its own members to protect those who lack ethical awareness!”.
“Go Ye-jin? I need to remember this.”
Yunhee, who was muttering in an eerie voice, turned her gaze towards me..
“Well then.”
“······.”
I was about to say that it was unfair, but when I saw Yunhee's expression, I gave up on making excuses. It seemed like I had no intention of believing it in the first place..
“Dahyun Jeong was also there..”
“I guess they dragged Dahyun in too.?”
“Why does it make sense like that?.”
“No, if it weren't for my brother, there's no way Dahyun would do that. Just looking at it, it happened because of my brother..”
“Don't talk, don't talk.”
“Well, I don't care what the reporters say..”
“huh?”
It was a different answer than expected.
“Just looking at it, the media is the problem. When a civil servant hunter arrests a villain, he can use excessive force. He is pointing out that again..”
“I didn't know you would take my side.”
“No, just looking at it, it means that the villain has been defeated. But what kind of big mistake are you talking about? In my opinion, the media is the biggest problem..”
This was a problem not only experienced by public servant hunters but also by large corporations and large guilds..
“I listened to what my brother said and thought about it carefully. But large guild hunters are also in a similar situation. Every time, the media criticizes me for not taking into account the damage around me when hunting monsters. But if you think about it, hunting as quickly as possible is the way to reduce damage, right? Damage that occurs in the process is unavoidable. My brother and Dahyun were alone together, so he must have been trying to subdue her. These scoundrels didn't take that into consideration. is not it?”
“that's right.”
“If you are accused of being a perpetrator while executing official duties, will you be able to work properly next time? Tsk tsk.”
“······.”
Yunhee was more energetic than me..
Still, I was certain of one thing..
“thanks.”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I feel anxious for no reason.”
“just. And I was curious, so.”
“What?”
“Civil servant hunters don't mind if subordinates report corruption of superiors.?”
Of course, I said that with Wang Ju-yeol in mind..
Yunhee's expression turned white as if she realized the context..
“···What are you thinking now? Isn't that what I think? huh?”
Even if I said no, they wouldn't believe me?
Instead of answering, I just smiled.

After clearing up the drug gang, Jeong Da-hyun and I achieved several achievements..
As if the experience that day had loosened her grip, Dahyun Jeong changed..
If they had passed the line of suspicion until then, they began actively searching for people with suspicious behavior or suspicious clothing..
In the meantime, an innocent citizen came forward and apologized, but they succeeded in arresting a villain with an attempted crime and a minor criminal record..
It was a positive change.
But the enemy was inside. It was Wang Ju-yeol. Even though we are in charge of the special team that apprehends villains, they are keeping me and Jeong Da-hyeon in check, who are increasing the number of cases, more than necessary..
Of course, I had no intention of just watching that happen..
I quietly watched Dahyun Jeong..
Possessing the gift of intuition, she has keen senses. One of the most useful gifts I used when I was a hematologist was the intuition I gained after killing Jeong Da-hyeon, which responds sensitively to the holder's senses..
In particular, this intuition exerts its greatest power in crisis situations..
I was able to escape dangerous situations several times with this ability..
Then he realized that I had an intuition and tried to eliminate me by creating a siege from which I could never escape..
Intuition cannot avoid even inevitable risks, but if it is supported by competency, its uses are endless..
I remembered Dahyun Jeong’s last moments in her last life..
Even though she must have known in her gut that it was dangerous, she set out to catch me. I was impressed by her willingness to burn herself to the very end..
Blood Jong's personality laughed it off as bullshit, but the moment he tried to live an ordinary life, he realized that the sacrifice had a noble meaning..
Honestly, I don't even agree with that..
The reason I accepted her offer and came to the National Defense Bureau was simply out of respect..
I just believed that if my efforts and her upright justice were combined, I would continue to live the life of a proud son of my parents and a proud brother of Yunhee..
A life of peace. For that, the stability of the surrounding environment was essential. Wang Ju-yeol is the one interfering with that and must be removed..
But Dahyun Jeong and I had different opinions on that issue..
She thought that unless there was conclusive evidence, it was better to leave Wang Ju-yeol alone..
After watching this, I decided to take action first..
When I looked on the internet, I found this saying: Just pick it up and pay it back. Wang Ju-yeol is a corrupt public official, so just catch him and find evidence..
Jeong Da-hyun's body trembled as if she sensed an abnormal air current..
“Junho, no.?”
“Of course not.”
“yes.”
I was 100% sure. Dahyun Jeong didn’t believe me..
This gap in thinking will not be narrowed right away..
After avoiding her persistent gaze, I returned to headquarters and finished work..
However, the destination was not home. I, who had been leaving work later than Wang Ju-yeol for a few days, noticed that he was moving differently than usual and followed him..
* * *
After quietly finishing work, Wang Ju-yeol clicked his tongue. I am very unhappy with the recent series of circumstances..
“Anyway, these guys are the problem these days..”
It all started with Jeong Da-hyeon, swayed by a mediocre sense of justice, who kicked off his path to success and joined the National Protection Agency to catch a villain..
How dare you refuse full support from the largest sacred guild in Korea, which can earn billions of dollars every year?.
Above all, it was even more annoying because Jeong Da-hyun was also Jeong Joo-ho's great-grandniece..
She was a thorn in the side who had everything, including skills, beauty, and a good deal of support, that even subordinates could not touch..
Still, Dahyun Jeong can handle it. Even though he ran around screaming for justice, he was just a kid who didn't know anything about the world..
The problem was the guy who came in as second-in-command. That guy was the start of the problem.
A guy who has maimed ten villains since he was an aspiring civil servant hunter. They even crippled the interviewer who appeared in the practical test because he was too clingy..
As for whether I got better after becoming a civil servant hunter, that wasn't the case. On their first patrol, they maimed 24 villains belonging to a drug gang and completely ignored the reporting system..
Usually, even if a new recruit has a rough temperament, he or she will be refined as he or she adapts to the organization, but this guy is beyond imagination..
From the first day, you show yourself how to live. It was clearly directed at himself..
“Those guys didn't make the ledger.?”
Any organization must create a ledger, even if it is for its own security. Because I know very well that negotiation is possible when circumstances arise. However, Da-hyun Jeong and Jun-ho Choi did not report anything. Jeong Joo-ho, who reported directly to him, also showed no sign..
That made Wang Ju-yeol nervous..
Human imagination breeds fear, and it is not for nothing that they call it the devil of doubt..
Wang Ju-yeol, who suffered from the invisible truth, came to one conclusion..
“Dahyun Jeong, Junho Choi.”
These two are concealing evidence in some form and acting independently..
Especially Choi Jun-ho. This guy must be dealt with..
Those we will meet today are also included in that..
Small guild masters who are committing illegal activities behind the scenes. It is a paddle that can be used quietly behind the scenes while being able to strike whenever you want..
They mainly manage the black market, illegal gambling halls, and drug distribution, but this time, a drug organization was blown up and the flames fell..
‘The only thing that bothers me is his skills.······.’
For some reason, even I couldn't look up his level measurement data..
It was announced publicly that it was level 5, but this could not be confirmed with data..
“Dahyun Jeong is going crazy.”
“I can't move like this. Everyone just looks at me.”
“The team leader must step forward..”
Guild masters I met at a high-end Korean restaurant complained. Since the main income was in the back world, the cooperation of the special team leader was absolutely necessary..
Wang Ju-yeol, who was listening silently to the contents, made a decision. I need to get rid of the creepy Choi Jun-ho. Jeong Da-hyeon, who is torn between being superior and having a sense of justice, is confident that she can control it in her own way..
“Of course I should step forward. Instead, you should eliminate one person..”
“Are you really talking about Jeong Da-hyun??”
“Anyway, Dahyun Jeong is a bit······.”
Wang Ju-yeol shook his head at the guild masters' disapproval..
“It's not Dahyun Jeong. He's a new guy who goes with this guy. That guy is next to Jeong Da-hyun and is going on a rampage with him..”
The expressions of the three brightened at those words. It's a different story if you're a newcomer other than Jeong Da-hyun..
Hunter, a civil servant with a poor sense of justice, has already been in trouble many times..
“If you are just a newbie, you can get rid of it without any rats or birds..”
“If you're going on a rampage, I'll kill you for jumping into the organization's headquarters..”
“Instead, please make sure to keep your promise to look after me. We only trust the team leader..”
“Of course.”
Grumbling.
At that time, the door to the room they were in opened. He was a young man in his mid-20s. He entered the room with a calm expression, as if it were his own home..
“Who are you?!”
“How dare you come in knowing where this is?!”
“get out!”
The guild masters screamed at the sudden intrusion. If it was a cry for the appearance of an uninvited guest, Wang Ju-yeol was frightened when he saw the young man's face from the front..
“Choi, Choi Jun-ho! why are you here······.”
“Didn’t I tell you about my specialty last time? He is confident in chasing, surviving, escaping, and killing people. And recently, I've developed a special skill that I'm more confident in..”
Before we knew it, Choi Jun-ho had arrived in front of Wang Ju-yeol. He was completely frozen by his ghost-like movements..
“Criminal arrested. And collect evidence.”
“bloke!”
Wang Ju-yeol, who inevitably went there, aimed at Choi Jun-ho's neck with a move that was uncharacteristic of his size..
As expected from a skill level 6 player, his movements were fast and strong, but.
Quad Deuk!
Wang Ju-yeol's shoulders slumped with an eerie bursting sound..
