The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 133
Episode 133:
Some people said it was 1-2 days past their expiration date, while others say it was 3 years later.
As of today, Yongyong has lost trust in me.
[Even when I tell him the truth, he keeps saying something.]
I just ignore what he says.
I came here like this, but I would be sad if it just passed away.
I had a fight with Berserker. It looks like he’s enjoying his leisurely camping trip, but I know he’s not just sitting around.
Actually, this match was also quite enjoyable.
But is it thanks to the creation of Hyegwangsimeo? I felt that even repeating it to myself created a strong bond that manifested itself as strength.
Even though the force training and tether that were discarded when acquiring Mandokbulchim and Hyegwangsimgeo disappeared, the use of power became more free and the power was doubled.
[Why is an evil human so strong?]
Yongyong was hovering around and being a nuisance, but it didn’t get in the way of beating up Berserker.
It was quite a mess, so I personally sprayed it with a recovery agent.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“There’s no way I’m going to be okay after someone beat me up.”
The guy got up with a groan, looked at me, and sighed.
What is it? Why are you looking at me so pathetic?
“Do you really think I came to beat you up?”
“Isn’t it?”
“It’s not.”
“Then why did you come to see me?”
I was wondering if Yongyong thought you were crazy.
Of course, it’s not just that.
Of course, it had other purposes as well.
This is the real reason I came to Berserker.
“Aren’t you going to stop being a villain now?”
“What do you mean?”
“Literally. “Aren’t you planning on returning as Lee Gwang-jin, a member of society, rather than the villain Berserker?”
In my view, Berserker was just too free-spirited and became a villain.
Now that I have become a superman, it is okay to be given that much freedom.
He doesn’t even seem like a villain to begin with.
“That’s something I’ve never thought about before. “May I ask why you are saying this?”
“I don’t think anything good will come of walking around like this forever. “It’s a hassle to look for them one by one.”
It is said that Berserker’s current skills are such that even if he were to compete against the 12 signs in the league, he would be equal in number. This is enough to keep me under your wing and manipulate you.
[oh! I felt like the sincerity in what he said afterward was about 7 times more serious!]
“For some reason, it seems like what he said afterward was sincere.”
A pair of these caught my eye. It’s okay if you don’t admit it.
“Think whatever you like.”
“I’m half-forced to live the life of a villain, so it would be nice if I could return. But my return is impossible.”
“why?”
“I am the one who killed Korea’s superman, Red Snake Kim Young-hwan. Do you think that a villain who killed a superhuman can return as a superhuman belonging to the country? “No matter how much you wash, some things are possible and some are not.”
I once thought that too.
But if you think about it, I don’t think it’s that big of a problem.
“Why not?”
“what?”
Is there really anything complicated to think about?
All you have to do right now is look straight ahead.
If Kim Young-hwan had been a righteous superman, it would have been a burden, but in reality, he was an old man who was obscenely abusive to the end.
“Anyway, Kim Young-hwan is a superhuman with no skills to reveal money, so what kind of problem will there be if he kills the old man who was involved in such corruption?”
“Well, the guys related to that guy…”
“Are they your opponents?”
“Of course not.”
“If you make a fuss in front of me, I can kill everyone.”
Wouldn’t he be a person who would kill someone who had dealings with the old man who was desperately trying to protect his interests?
“And as long as you don’t get involved with those people, that’s fine. “What I’m saying now is that you want to belong to the country and work with me.”
“….”
[Wow, an evil person can speak loudly.] Regardless
of what Yongyong said or not, I waited for Berserker’s answer.
The guy, who was serious at first, soon nodded as if he understood.
“That’s what I heard. “There is nothing wrong with it.”
“I’m not saying you have to decide right away. “Think about it slowly.”
“I get it. “But you are mistaken.”
“What?”
“Working with you can be more terrible than living as a villain.”
[and! Correct answer!]
“….”
Are we going to fight one more game now?
Berserker must have sensed the cruel look in my eyes and added.
“Of course, I don’t know because I haven’t experienced it. There is a high probability that it will be better than now. “I will seriously consider your suggestion.”
“Okay, I expect a good answer. “Then I’ll go.”
The purpose of coming here has been achieved. Now that I know that Yongyong is an evil person or that he is crazy or something is all nonsense, I will just listen with one ear and let it go with the other.
[Am I really talking about reality? I was trying to give you something that was 5 years past its expiration date, but I reduced it.]

-I’m trying to get used to hunting. I think about the advice my brother gave me every day.
Dahyun Jeong is cruising along. Although he says that it is difficult to fulfill his role as a member of the Hellhound team, he is quickly adapting to dealing with monsters.
I do my best in everything, so the speed of progress is fast. Above all, the possibility was seen in the fact that a specific plan was put forward to exploit the maternal love of monsters.
Jeong Da-hyeon’s hunting skills will improve every day.
“Do your best. Because I’m looking forward to it. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.”
-Yes, thank you!
Dahyun Jeong, Sehee Lee, and Yoonhee are all working hard in their respective fields.
Hunting in the Kaesong area has made considerable progress, and guilds are currently working together to pioneer a route to Pyongyang. In some ways, Jung Joo-ho is isolated, but I think this will be resolved soon.
After finishing the call, I headed to James Reed’s lab.
“Jun Ho! Come on! “It’s been a long time!”
“Is the research going well?”
“I was begging you to contact me because I was already seeing results! hang on!”
James Reed brought me a bottle from a corner of the lab.
“It’s an improved version of Penta! “We succeeded in removing the narcotic ingredients and restoring the ability to awaken.”
“okay?”
Let’s check how effective it is.
I took the bottle, opened the lid, and immediately activated Mandokbulchim.
Chi-ik!
As soon as Mandokbulchim was activated, the contents began to burn.
This was evidence that narcotic substances remained.
It is possible to analyze the ingredients even without taking it directly.
I confirmed one new method of use.
Mandokbulchim wriggled as if asking me to praise him.
“Is there any drug substance left?”
“That can’t be possible?”
“The ingredients are weaker than before. But the medicinal effect remains.”
“Ah, I’m screwed!”
James Reed, with a devastated expression on his face, sighed. Still, this was a quick improvement. If I wait a little longer, the shape I want will come out.
“But since you worked hard, I’ll give you a boost.”
“really? thank you!”
“Instead, we cannot give it to you to study alone, but we will share it with the Sacred Guild Research Institute.”
“I do not care! “I’m completely satisfied with this!”
What a simple guy. Is it the combination of that voracious curiosity and outstanding brain that created the current Macho Man?
It is known that he is confined to the research lab, but seeing as those muscles are still intact, it is not ordinary persistence.
“And Junho, the situation right now is unusual.”
“Is the monster threat only for a day or two?”
“It’s not like that.”
“then?”
“I don’t know if I can say this…”
I must have heard something from America.
“Something is being prepared in America. “That might be a bother to Junho.”
“Why should I be bothered by what America decides?”
“there is. “Because it’s America.”
I think the pride in one’s country is a bit excessive. Although the United States is the most powerful country in existence, it is difficult to exert direct influence on me due to its loose system.
“It’s not coercion. No one thinks that Junho will be forced to move! “What I’m talking about is the cultural aspect.”
I guess this means that America will soon become the standard.
It’s a bit of a trend, but I don’t necessarily follow it.
Sometimes I think about it, there were a lot of guys who thought I was going to jump on the bandwagon.
“Please take note.”
“The problem is that Junho is carefree.”
Even if you say you understand, you mutter, and even if you don’t pay much attention, you mutter, and you wonder where the rhythm should go.
“And speaking of Christine.”
“Anna Christine?”
“He’s disappointed because he said he couldn’t appeal to Junho at all. “Can’t you come visit me and comfort me?”
I think I know roughly at what point I was disappointed.
But I don’t know why it’s turning into a story where I have to comfort him.
I asked because I was genuinely curious.
“why me?”
“ok?”
“Why are you comforting me when I’m not your lover?”
It’s not like comforting a child who lost some candy.
“….”
“You only become stronger when you overcome disappointment in yourself. “Don’t worry any more and just watch quietly.”
People should have the taste of overcoming their wounds on their own.
“Ah Okay.”
James Reed nodded his head in confusion.
* * *
Jin Se-jeong never once thought in her life that she would come to the Blue House.
But that moment came much faster than I knew it.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so nervous.”
The person who called him was the president.
My boss, Choi Jun-ho, said he often met with the president, so I felt close to him, but when I actually met him alone, I felt like my heart was beating uncontrollably.
“You can go inside.”
The rigid formality felt like a place where a head of state would stay.
Jin Se-jeong entered the President’s office and was finally able to see the President.
What can I say, when I first saw the President, he seemed like a friendly old man next door. No, he is older than my father, so should I call him my uncle?
The President smiled at the frozen Jin Se-jeong.
“Nice to meet you, Team Leader Jin Se-jeong. “This is Jeon Han-cheol.”
“Yes, yes! nice to see you! “This is Jin Se-jeong!”
“Don’t be too nervous, just sit back.”
“yes!”
Contrary to his appearance, he had a dignity that was difficult to approach. He is also the president.
“How is work these days? “It’s a completely different field.”
“I can work happily because Choi Jun-ho respects me.”
“That’s a good thing.”
But why did the president call him?
When I was starting to feel curious, the President spoke.
“The reason I called Team Leader Jin today is because I am supporting Superhuman Choi Jun-ho in a fun way.”
How did you know? I felt like my heart was sinking.
Did you do something wrong?
Jin Se-jeong instinctively shrank her neck and looked.
“Is this going to be a problem?”
“Wherever you go, crossing the line can happen. “I have no intention of messing with Team Leader Jin’s methods, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“It’s nothing else, but there’s something I’d like to get advice from Team Leader Jin.”
“What is it like?”
The president himself?
I felt puzzled.
However, his expression completely changed after the next words.
“It’s about the superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”
“…I can answer most questions, but if it’s sensitive information, I don’t think I can.”
“It’s not like that, so you don’t have to worry.”
It was just as the president was about to open his mouth. The secretary came in hurriedly and whispered in my ear.
“….”
As the President’s expression hardened, Jin Se-jeong also became nervous.
It seemed like something unusual had happened.
“sorry. An urgent report came in. I guess this is something Team Leader Jin should be aware of.”
“Me?”
After looking at the documents the secretary brought, my doubts were resolved.
The story was that the U.S. and the World Association of Psychics were planning to create a new level 9.
* * *
‘Not good.’
The President clicked his tongue inwardly.
Finally, what I was worried about happened.
It was safe to say that the United States and the World Superpower Association were in the same league.
This was proven by the fact that Teenage Superhuman and Choi Jun-ho were included in the list of candidates for immediate promotion to level 9.
I thought something like this would happen, so I called Jin Se-jeong, but America was moving too quickly.
The President shared the data with Jin Se-jeong.
“Actually, this is where I tried to borrow Team Leader Jin’s help.”
Jin Se-jeong Idol expert. It was unusual for her, an outstanding visual art director, to be in charge of Choi Jun-ho.
But the results achieved so far have been dazzling.
Her performance was so great that Choi Jun-ho’s social reputation was divided into before and after Jin Se-jeong’s recruitment.
Although his aides opposed the idea, saying he was only calling an idol expert to the Blue House, the president believed in Jin Se-jeong’s abilities.
“…It’s bound to cause problems.”
Jin Se-jeong lamented after reading the entire document.
“This is what we were worried about.”
“Like you said, there will be trouble. I think this is some kind of honorary position. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to refuse. “If we change it to the idol case, it is a method that causes conflict between existing fans and new fans.”
“Idol?”
“Your idol. It’s definitely a happy thing to see your precious idol become the best. But it feels like it’s getting out of my hands, so I can feel anxious and deprived. “If we don’t hold on tightly to this mindset, disappointed fans who feel they are being neglected may leave.”
Jin Se-jeong said that the existing fans here are Korean citizens.
New fans are foreign fans.
First of all, the analogy seemed plausible.
“Please continue speaking.”
“As Level 9 is close to an honorary position, if Superhuman Choi Jun-ho becomes Level 9, he will be forced to pursue a greater cause than he is now. This doesn’t suit us superhumans. Naturally, more conflicts are bound to occur. “If an adept pursues his own interests, it will create public criticism abroad.”
“hmm!”
That was an interesting explanation.
Jin Se-jeong, encouraged by the reaction, continued speaking excitedly.
“So in the Tadol fandom, in order to divide competing groups, they encourage discord to prevent existing and new fans from mixing. “If this gets worse, it can affect the members of the group and cause the team to break up.”
What is broken here is the relationship between Choi Jun-ho and the Republic of Korea.
Jin Se-jeong tapped the document.
“This level 9 may seem like they are treating Choi Jun-ho as a superhuman, but to me, it looks like a means to keep him on a leash.”
Judgment is sharp.
The President confirmed that his judgment in inviting Jin Se-jeong was correct.
The problem is next.
What measures can be taken in the face of the tempting lure of level 9?
“Is there any way to deal with it?”
“Yes, of course there is.”
“Is that true?”
“If you don’t like the board, you can just throw it away. Compared to the idol world, this level of intrigue is cute.”
Jin Se-jeong smiled confidently.
