The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 109
Episode 109
James Reed’s expression became urgent.
“Don’t be like that, listen to me!”
I was so desperate that I received the recipe so I decided to give it a try.
“try.”
“So…” The
reason James Reed came across the sea to Korea was because of an abnormal phenomenon that had recently occurred in the United States.
At first there was a strong force reaction. An emergency order was issued in California and awakened people gathered to see if it was a new plus level monster. However, soon enough, hundreds of thousands of monsters began to gather at the location.
This put the United States on alert.
The wave of monsters exceeding hundreds of thousands was a gigantic disaster that had never happened before.
What if these monsters attack all at once?
Huge casualties were expected.
Some argued for a preemptive nuclear strike, but it was said that the opposing opinion was dominant because it could end up provoking the demons.
“….”
At least reason is alive.
If a nuclear weapon had been launched, the worst would have happened sooner. Because it’s like cleaning up the little things that are blocking the progress of the situation.
It seems that the situation the Jola Man was talking about was exactly what I expected.
Well, that’s it.
I said, sitting up crookedly.
“So why are you asking me that?”
“Junho is so damn smart! Is there no way?”
“So why are you asking me?”
“You know everything.”
I don’t know since when did you start acting slyly about how close we are, this little guy.
Let’s just listen to the story first.
“We decided to call it the Monster’s Grave.”
James Reed’s guess was correct.
The Monster’s Tomb The abnormal phenomenon that occurred in America was caused by the corpse of a monster.
I remembered my experience from my last life.
As monsters and awakened people appeared, their levels began to increase.
As the harmful level 8 monsters appeared, level 8 superhumans appeared, and a plus level that surpassed the harmful level 8 monsters appeared.
The number of monsters that control more than half of humanity’s territory is terrifying. Even if they try to recover lost territory, each country is cautious because it is impossible to know how many monsters are lurking within it.
The speed at which monsters increase is fast, and it takes a long time to raise high-level awakened ones.
As a result, an ecosystem of monsters was created, and as they fought each other, high-level monsters began to appear in an environment where the might of the jungle is fighting.
In particular, as the number of Level 8 harmful creatures increased, there were cases where monsters that ruled as predators in certain areas clashed with each other.
The winner takes the area and the loser is kicked out.
When you escape safely, you can settle down in a new area, but sometimes seriously injured monsters die while moving.
“It’s a monster’s corpse.”
“that’s right.”
The monster’s grave, as James Reed said, is a phenomenon that occurs when an 8th level monster dies.
Unlike the heart of a harmful level 8 monster, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the monster ecosystem, the force called Core is not stored and runs wild.
The reason monsters are gathering is to target this core. The core is a symbol of strength and the source of power for monsters, so they fight to get it.
If completely absorbed, a new harmful level 8 monster will be born.
When you put it this way, it sounds like a martial artist chasing after Jang Bo-do.
“You know how, right? huh?”
“You know it’s a phenomenon that occurs when a monster dies.”
“know!”
“If a monster absorbs that core, it may be expected that it will become a new harmful level 8 monster.”
“huh!”
James Reed seems to be hoping for some incredible solution.
How much easier would life be if something like that were to come out?
The world is the norm, the norm.
Didn’t I go crazy trying to get various gifts to quickly become stronger?
“Then leave it alone.”
“What? “Is that the end?”
“Doesn’t America know better what the consequences will be if a low-level monster absorbs the core?”
The level 8 harmful core is not easy.
Even if one of the countless monsters gathered absorbs the core, it usually cannot overcome the surge of power and explodes.
“But if the absorption is successful…”
“Then it will become a level 8 harmful monster.”
“That’s such an irresponsible thing to say, Junho!”
I thought this was a prayer meta, but it’s nothing special.
“The irresponsible thing is that if you put mussels in soybean paste stew, you say it’s a Mediterranean recipe and then splatter.”
“….”
“In this case, it’s one of two things. One is to expect the monster that absorbed the core to self-destruct, and the other is to form a small, deadly force to destroy the core.”
Then, the monsters attracted by the power of the core will disperse on their own.
Rather, the mixed up monsters could cause self-destruction and drastically reduce their numbers.
The United States probably already knows this much.
The reason he stabbed me was probably to see if he could come up with some unusual method.
Still, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to be able to decide on a choice.
James Reed sighed.
“Is that really the only way?”
“doesn’t exist. “If you’re done with your business, go.”
Still, I have to give it a try considering their sincerity in preparing a new recipe.
It’s New York-style soybean paste stew, so it has a New Yorker feel.
James Reed seems to want me to come to America, but I recently went to Japan and have no intention of going.
We need to open Yunhee’s gift, extract the penta awakening ingredient, and most of all, prepare for the ‘attack’ that will occur in the near future.
As far as I know, plus level monsters appear from the south and north at the same time, and there are forces that take advantage of that opportunity to attack.
I thought I would just kick out the uninvited guest, but I got an unexpected answer.
“I’m not going.”
“what?”
“I decided to stay in Korea from now on! I plan on staying for a long time! So please take care of me!”
James Reed said with a grin.
Can’t I be forced to leave the country?
I looked at Cheon Myeong-guk, wondering what kind of situation this was, and he was looking at me with an expression that said there was nothing he could do about it.
“Reed Choin has come to take charge of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea.”
“….”
Was it possible for a superhuman to do that?
The troublesome guy ended up staying in Korea.
* * *
James Reed went outside with Choi Jun-ho, and the president and Cheon Myeong-guk, who were left alone, looked serious.
The abnormal phenomenon that occurred in the United States was something that the government could not overlook.
“It’s a monster’s tomb, so just hearing about it gives me a headache.”
“This is the same phenomenon that occurred in North Korea in February of last year.”
“A level 8 harmful monster that wasn’t in the data came out.”
“yes.”
At the time, the government was shocked by the appearance of a level 8 harmful monster.
If the monster moved south, there was a possibility that the surrounding monsters would also push down.
Currently, the frontline city in South Korea is Kaesong.
As the city had just been restored, there was a debate over whether to spend an astronomical amount of money to strengthen its defenses.
In addition, the difficulties the government experienced due to the actions of Kim Young-hwan and the large guilds, who withdrew from the hunt to increase the ransom, were immeasurable.
Fortunately, the newly born monster headed to China. While South Korea breathed a sigh of relief, China was in chaos. Over this, Zhang Zedong insisted that Korea drove the monsters north, and their relationship was bad for a while.
Looking back now, it was surprisingly similar to the phenomenon described by James Reed.
“Suppose something like this could happen at any time. but.”
The president paused and looked serious.
“I’m surprised that Macho Man even stayed in Korea. “It seems that Choi Jun-ho’s value in the United States is much higher than we think.”
“Evaluations are continuing to rise. I would have to work on it myself…”
“There is that, but I guess you can think of it as a factor that can be tolerated. There are so many superhumans who do extraordinary things. “What do you think, Director Cheon?”
“I think the same.”
“What are the chances that America knows something we don’t?”
“High.”
“I can’t ask you outright, it’s an awkward situation.”
“….”
Cheon Myeong-guk expressed his approval in silence.
Choi Jun-ho’s value was at a point where evaluation was meaningless anymore.
Even if I were to exchange him with five superhumans from other countries, I would choose Choi Jun-ho, and he was at the top in all values.
He is young, strong, and not calculating. Once he decides, he doesn’t hesitate.
It ranked first among the superhuman ransom prices announced recently.
However, the evaluation was that it was so difficult to handle that it was openly called a bomb.
This was the only factor that lowered the ransom price. Choi Jun-ho proved his worth by running at the top in all other areas.
James Reed’s actions stimulated many imaginations, but Myeong-guk Cheon mentioned the situation immediately in front of him.
“The problem now is James Reed. “South Korea can advertise to the outside world as a trustworthy country, but…”
“I would be worried about overt spying.”
“yes.”
James Reed, who completed his doctorate at Stanford, was one of the most brilliant minds among superhumans.
Even if you look at the same thing, you will see many things.
“But that’s not what we have to worry about.”
“then?”
“We should be worried about James Reed’s life.”
“Ah…”
James Reed is said to be close with Choi Jun-ho, but you never know when that relationship will turn sour.
What if I die?
The President spoke as if comforting him.
“Still, I’m looking forward to it these days, so I guess I’ll have to look forward to it.”
“I hope so.”
Cheon Myeong-guk said with a desperate expression.

James Reed When I heard that this guy was staying in Korea, I thought he had another plan.
He pretended to be innocent and had a concept, but on the inside he was pitch black.
Sure enough, the guy who followed me out of the Blue House noticed me carefully and then quietly approached me and asked me a favor.
“Jun Ho! “Please introduce me to Berserker.”
“Why Berserker?”
“I want to see the villain who killed the debuffer.”
“Why are you looking for a villain in me?”
“I know very well that Junho is really close with Berserker!”
“….”
Shall I hit you?
Who is friends with such a crazy person?
He’s just a nice guy to pamper me when I feel like it.
Yes, it is perfect to say that it is a one-sided business relationship.
Aside from that, you know that I interact with Berserker.
Is this America’s intelligence power?
“Nope.”
I refused. Because I knew Berserker, there was no reason to introduce him to him.
Then James Reed appealed in a different direction.
“Jun Ho! Isn’t it amazing how well I always come up with recipes? “I have a way!”
What he mentioned was molecular cuisine. It was a field that created new forms or textures through scientific analysis.
“….”
It was a mistake to think that I would get this far.
…Of course I’m curious.
But it’s not enough to pass over.
In the first place, there was something to pick from him.
“Pay with something else. “If you agree, I will introduce you to Berserker.”
“What? “Tell me what you need!”
“You said you were a doctor?”
“…haha! I took all the exams, but I got it by accident. “I don’t know!”
Even if you pretend to be stupid, you won’t be fooled.
Just as he researched me, I also researched him.
A superhuman who modified his body thoroughly based on theory. The current James Reed can be considered a product of calculation.
The evaluation is that they can compete with the zodiac or are one level lower than those in their early teens.
At this level, he may just be an outstanding superhuman, but he has a brain that others do not have.
This means that he or she is a talented person who understands the situation in the field and the research institute at the same time.
What I need is his brain.
Oh, of course, I’m not talking about opening the head and taking out the brain.
“I’m researching something, and if you cooperate, I’ll introduce you to Berserker.”
“It’s too one-sided.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”
“Ugh!”
James Reed looks troubled.
Even though everything had already been caught, it was amazing to see that they maintained the concept until the end.
“okay! “I’ll do it!”
“good.”
I got caught.
I need to tell him how Korea grinds its balls.
After receiving the promise, I arranged a meeting between James Reed and Berserker two days later.
Berserker, who had been reading the chat at first, took the bait when Macho Man James Reed said he wanted to meet him.
You’ll have to pay for ruining my contact later.
That’s how a crazy person and a strange person met.
“This is Macho Man James Reed. “He’s a guy who has good hair and is different on the outside and the inside.”
“Jun Ho! “You talk so loudly.”
“What is so serious?”
On the contrary, it was said in a positive way.
He doesn’t know that he was specifically criticized for being cunning in his scams.
I pretended not to hear and introduced Berserker.
“You know Berserker, right? He’s crazy. “You can see that you can’t communicate normally.”
“As always, hearing things like that from you makes me feel like there’s something wrong with the world.”
“Yes, you are a villain.”
And I am a superhuman belonging to the country.
If you are dissatisfied, why not go back to the past and become a civil servant hunter?
Anyway, after my introduction, the two exchanged greetings.
“….”
Sparks fly from the beginning.
As a normal person, I had to balance myself between the crazy and the weird, but it didn’t seem easy.
These guys have such outstanding personalities.
Anyway, my role ended with helping the two meet.
At first glance, James Reed’s purpose was obvious.
Is it America after Japan? It remains to be seen what choice Berserker will make.
“Then let’s talk comfortably.”
I felt like it was going to be a bother, so my choice was to escape the awkward situation.
* * *
As Choi Jun-ho went outside, James Reed’s eyes sparkled.
Berserker is a villain whose name we have heard for a long time.
Although it is a nickname that can be considered crazy, Berserker’s evaluation in the United States is surprisingly generous.
With a tendency to fall into the category of moderate evil rather than evil, if it had been in the United States, he would have been recognized as a superman with a unique personality rather than a villain.
Of course, the standard was close.
However, with the advent of Choi Jun-ho, the tolerance limit increased to near infinity.
I wonder if a consensus has been formed that anyone can be accepted as long as they are not affiliated with the league and have Choi Jun-ho’s personality.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Yes.”
How should I tell them to come to the United States?
Berserker’s eerie voice penetrated the ears of James Reed as he was pondering this.
“Let’s just play one game first.”
“uh?”
“In the first place, you only have to hang out once before you can have honest conversations. Don’t worry. “It’s only a minor broken bone, and even if it’s severe, only one or two limbs will be blown off. If you take emergency measures quickly, you can attach them.”
“….”
James Reed was speechless.
Choi Jun-ho went out and let his guard down for a moment.
‘This bastard is also a crazy bastard!’
In a way, it was natural to have a crazy person next to a crazy person.
