The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 18
Episode 18
Lee Se-hee still thought that the man named Choi Jun-ho was an unknown person.
A person who has gone far beyond normal thinking.
And then he says he is sane.
At first I thought it was a deception. But after talking to him, he really thought that. If he wasn’t a civil servant hunter, I would have believed him even if he was a villain.
Nevertheless, the strong skills and technology of unknown origin attracted attention. In order to get to know him, I researched everything and provided what I needed, and it was successful.
Although I felt sorry for the villain who was defeated by Choi Jun-ho.
I felt refreshed because everything was starting to calm down.
Until I entered the training room.
I was curious about what kind of training Choi Jun-ho would give Choi Yun-hee, and I also wanted to build a personal relationship.
However, it was a big shock to come back after going in with a light heart.
“That’s it.”
“······.”
“Are you okay?”
“yes I’m okay. “It should be okay.”
I barely managed to put strength into my shaking legs and stood up. But the shock from earlier did not go away at all.
“I’ll stay here a little while longer.”
“Then let’s go first.”
I fell into my seat while following Choi Jun-ho as he went out.
“···I almost cum.”
It was an honest feeling, stripped of all pretense.
What Choi Jun-ho showed was the power of the monster he imitated.
The endless murderous hostility of a predator towards its prey was clearly revealed. Lee Se-hee recalled the time when she first hunted monsters a few years ago.
I remember being overwhelmed, even though I was fully capable of hunting when I came to my senses.
This is a situation that every hunter experiences at least once. In that sense, the strength of the monster that Choi Jun-ho showed was the real power seen while hunting.
If hunters on their first hunt could experience this, the number of unexpected deaths or injuries could be drastically reduced.
“How on earth?”
I was so surprised that I forgot to ask.
One thing was clear.
The man named Choi Jun-ho is a person who far exceeded his expectations. It was like a treasure chest where you never knew what might pop out. Then, if you make a mistake, you are like a monster that will even eat you.
“Want.”
While saying that, I ended up laughing.
I must have gone crazy. Even though she was a manipulator when they first met, she covets the man who tried to kill her.
Is this why women are attracted to dangerous men? Is this right to be classified like this? I don’t think it was really the kind of life-threatening danger?
One thing that I found strange about myself was clear.
Choi Jun-ho must be caught.
* * *
Lee Se-hee’s advice was quite timely and was able to help Yun-hee adapt to the monster’s momentum.
Why do you have to pose like a dog? Wouldn’t that make it look more realistic? Most monsters walk on all fours. Anyway, Yunhee seemed to have gained a lot of enlightenment after encountering a completely different and unfamiliar force.
“and! “If I did something really wrong, I would be dead.”
I’ve done everything I can with this.
The next step was for me to move like a monster and gain combat experience, but to do it properly, the entire team needed to come together, so I decided to skip it.
When I think about it, I think I might be overprotective.
Still, wouldn’t overprotection be better than neglect? I handed Lee Se-hee the bracelet I had asked for.
“Wow, it’s pretty. What is this?”
“Location tracker. “I wear it every time I hunt.”
“Are you crazy?”
There was a bit of a fight, but we agreed to wear it when we go hunting.
After finishing Yunhee’s problem, what remained was my problem.
The last expunger incident ended with an incident, but two problems arose.
The first was Berserker, a guy who was not supposed to have any contact with me until 15 years later, but he became interested in the Eradicator.
As long as that crazy guy was involved, there was no telling what changes he would make. A guy who doesn’t know where he’s going to end up is the most annoying. I also have to keep my eyes open for Berserker.
Second is the usability of mines.
Originally, mines were a gift specialized for one-on-one use, so there were difficulties when dealing with multiple people.
I was planning to use the sword as it was the most convenient gift for me, but the situation changed with the naming of the Eradicator.
It bothered me that Berserker said he was chasing the Eradicator. I thought that if I continued to use the sword like this, I would be revealed to be an Eradicator.
Then, as I was thinking about one thing, I burst into laughter.
“I too was consumed by peace.”
I sincerely reflected. I swore I would never repeat the crazy things of the past, and I never said I would act soft.
In the first place, if it were me in the past, these worries would have been meaningless.
“Just remove it and that’s it.”
* * *
A dozen villains who were operating in secret in the city were arrested in droves, but unusually, it did not cause any problems.
There was no excessive suppression. Even though Choi Jun-ho was dispatched, everyone was surprised that his limbs were intact.
When everyone asked in surprise, Choi Jun-ho smiled and said, “The genius’s idea changed the paradigm of arrest. He only left an ambiguous statement: “It just costs money.”
Apart from that, daily life went on peacefully.
Dahyun Jeong thought it was the calm before the storm. Little by little, stories about the League emerged as reality, and eyewitness accounts of infamous high-level villains were being heard.
Action will be taken soon. And he pledged to take on a major role in that mission.
“To Director Jeong Da-hyun Choi Jun-ho’s office.”
“yes!”
At Jeong Joo-ho’s call, Jeong Da-hyun entered the director’s office with Choi Jun-ho.
“I had a hard time leading Choi Jun-ho. “I think you are now used to performing the duties of the National Protectorate.”
“It was something that had to be done.”
“Thanks to Secretary Jeong Da-hyeon. “I still have a lot to do.”
Jung Joo-ho hung back as if he had taken advantage of Choi Jun-ho’s words.
“It’s not enough. The skill to apprehend villains! Once dispatched, the seriously injured will generate at least a fever. This time he was fine, so I thought he had changed his mind, but what kind of trick did he pull? “Why is it okay on the outside but shattered on the inside?”
“That’s too much praise.”
“I wasn’t complimenting you!”
Jeong Joo-ho shouted with an angry face.
I have seen that expression myself. I saw it when you said you wanted to move from the Holy Guild to the National Protectorate. It’s like looking at a troublemaker who can’t be saved.
When Jeong Joo-ho treated him as a nephew rather than a subordinate, he said, “You were so gentle! “I never thought the next taste would be Nuclear Buldak,” he complained.
Jung Joo-ho, who had barely managed to control his anger, let out a thin breath.
“Dahyun, you know this, but Choi Jun-ho has the skills to deal with only common criminals like this.”
“···yes.”
“So, I’m planning to entrust Choi Jun-ho with a few solo missions.”
“yes? But, Director! “Junho is still in level 9 and doesn’t have much experience.”
“I feel awkward when you, who believed in your skills so much, talk about your rank.”
“······.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who hit the nail on the head, closed her mouth.
“Choi Jun-ho can do it.”
“If you leave it to me, I will do my best.”
“No, you can’t do your best. “Then I’ll kill them all.”
“I will try to save it.”
“Look, it means that if you don’t try, you’ll all be killed.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who was relieving his stress by making meaningless remarks, looked towards me with a much more relaxed look.
“Anyway, it is simple to entrust Choi Jun-ho with a solo mission. Dahyun Jeong, you are too weak.”
“······!”
It feels like a sharp arrow has been stabbed in my heart. Although his legs were weak and he stumbled, Jeong Joo-ho’s expression was calm.
“Become stronger so as not to be a nuisance to your second-in-command. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“······.”
“Go out. “I have something more to say to Choi Jun-ho.”
“···yes.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who had nothing more to say, staggered out of the director’s office.
I don’t know what kind of spirit I came back to. With a blank face, I recalled the conversation we had a while ago.
They say the truth is clear.
In the end, it happened because I was weak. If I had been stronger and had reached level 7, I would not have been excluded like this.
Yes, what Director Jeong Joo-ho said is correct. I am weak. As a child, he was more accustomed to being called a genius than by his name, and he became famous as a member of the Holy Guild and the National Protection Bureau, but that was all. Those you will have to deal with in the future will include enemies of level 6 and higher, as well as level 7 and higher.
“You have to be strong.”
Biting her lip so hard that she could taste the fishy taste of blood, Jeong Da-hyun strengthened her resolve once again.
* * *
It was my first time seeing Jeong Da-hyun look so despondent. It must be shocking to hear that your skills are lacking. However, if I became Agent Black and took on a dangerous mission, there was a high possibility that she would become a burden.
In the end, you have to improve your skills, so should you help your training since you’ve received help so far?
Come to think of it, he taught Yunhee well and made her a top recruit at the Holy Guild, so he might be quite talented at teaching. I was swearing and rolling around the whole time, but I said thank you after I passed. I need to talk about it.
“Now that the watchman has left, shall we talk openly?”
“I will listen.”
“How far are you going to mess up?”
“How far is this possible?”
“···Hey, why are you being so scary? Can you please look at me? “I’m losing my hair because of you these days.”
I smiled instead of answering. It was meant to be comforting, but Jung Joo-ho’s expression darkened as if he misunderstood.
“I am always grateful to the director.”
“I wonder what sin I committed in my past life. I’ve lived a really good life. after! Even if you go on a rampage, there are conditions. It will not go against the justice advocated by our National Defense Agency, there will be no innocent victims, and it should be an issue that I can handle as much as possible. And tell me in advance. I hope this is enough. “Can you do it?”
“I will try.”
“You don’t say you will do it even if you die soon. Dahyun Jeong, this is the problem, the problem. Why did you bring in such a problem child? No, did I bring you the right one? If it had been somewhere else, I would have messed up more. Okay, let’s say I sacrificed a hair of my head and saved the world. I need to recognize my efforts from above, but I can’t go anywhere and complain. Ugh!”
I wanted to ask if he was making excuses for me to skip it, but I held back.
Although I was out of touch with the world, I knew that it was impolite to attack someone who was losing their hair.
* * *
I thought seriously about what I could do. Then, I realized that I had a meaningful first mission as Agent Black, so I drafted a plan and took it to Joo-ho Jeong.
It is a perfect operation that allows the National Defense Bureau to make a big contribution and at the same time leaves no innocent victims.
However, I don’t know whether Jung Joo-ho will be able to clean up after what he did.
Jeong Joo-ho grabbed the back of his neck after seeing the title of the document.
Berserker arrest operation
“Hey, you’re not really an assassin who came to kill me, are you? Did that guy Yeom Gi-cheol send it to you? Or is it Park Beom-soo? Rather kill me outright! “Stop turning my stomach!”
Jeong Joo-ho, who was screaming loudly, asked.
“Why Berserker?”
“I think factors that are difficult to predict become variables. “I think it’s better to get rid of it in advance.”
“They often appear on the black market, so you want to look around the black market first? Are you planning to even touch the black market?”
“Why not?”
“Let’s put that story aside for now and talk about Berserker first. “Why do you seem to only be aware of Berserker’s movements and not do anything about it?”
“······.”
I think it’s probably because he is one of the strongest villains in Korea in terms of pure force. Lee Gwang-jin, who had a high reputation for his powerful swordsmanship before being called Berserker, is said to have improved rather than lost his delicacy even when he went crazy.
But the words that came out of Jung Joo-ho’s mouth were different from what I thought.
“It’s because he’s crazy.”
“yes?”
“That’s because I’m crazy. You don’t know where it will go. In particular, do you know how much that Berserker’s mind fluctuates? He helps the hunters he was hunting when he feels like it, but then changes his mind a few hours later and kills them. They kill the villains who were moving with them because they are annoying, and they round up monsters and send them to the city, saying it is a no-kill period. “This is not just one or two cases.”
Jung Joo-ho took a deep breath.
“But if you want to catch it, don’t stop me. But know one thing clearly. “In my opinion, that Berserker is the craziest villain I’ve ever seen in the world.”
“······.”
I was quietly silent.
Anyone can see that Berserker is a crazy person. That is a clear fact.
Although I am a normal person now, I was also a crazy villain in my last life.
It was also called the worst.
But the craziest villain is Berserker?
“after!”
I can’t show you what a truly crazy villain is.
My pride was strangely hurt, and I felt frustrated.
