The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 26
Episode 26 – Paid Start Episode
3 What caught Lee Se-hee’s eyes when she arrived at the hunting site was traces of a battle that were hard to believe even with her own eyes.
“ah······.”
Not only Lee Se-hee, but also Lee Young-tan and the driver who came with him couldn’t help but exclaim.
More than two hundred dolls were cut in two and dead. The sight of someone dead without shedding a single drop of blood was bizarre and overwhelming at the same time.
I knew it because I was handling a sword.
All of these dolls were cut down in one blow. How? What kind of person can show such inaction?
“First, let’s take care of the injured!”
Lee Se-hee, who came to her senses, gave instructions and took care of the injured together with driver Lee Young-tan. And then he approached Choi Yun-hee, who had collapsed behind Choi Jun-ho.
“I’ll take Yunhee.”
Lee Se-hee, who saw him nodding, felt that there was something strange about him. A much deeper life than before. It felt like I would cut it down right away if it bothered me.
Lee Se-hee, who barely came to her senses, took Choi Yun-hee and returned to the car.
The problem was that the car was full of people with injuries.
Sehee Lee made a decision.
“Go first.”
“yes? But the team leader must also go with us…”
“I will watch the situation from here.”
“It’s not possible. “It’s dangerous.”
Lee Young-tan vehemently opposed it. Lee Se-hee spoke firmly.
“Escorting the injured is more important. Just follow my advice. “It’s an order.”
“···All right.”
“And it’s dangerous here? “Not at all.”
Lee Se-hee said with confidence as she looked at Choi Jun-ho confronting the doll.
“This is the safest place in the world.”
* * *
“······.”
Lee Se-hee, who saw the car leaving, erased the expression from her face.
I was sincere when I said this was the safest place in the world, but what I really meant was that I didn’t want anyone to see this battle scene.
The moment she saw over two hundred dolls lying down, she realized that her vague thoughts were true.
Currently, among the prosecutors who use swords in Korea, there are only three who can demonstrate this kind of inaction.
Two of them are from the guild and one is a villain who is being chased. Berserker will be added this time.
“That’s also true.”
She has been researching Choi Jun-ho for a long time.
A level 7 civil servant hunter suddenly fell from the sky one day. It is a monster that has reached level 8, although its level has not been measured yet.
Although he has reached a level that no one else can achieve in his mid-20s, he is a unique person who does not want a large down payment or more power than others.
Do you want power because you want the privilege of being immune from arrest? However, the direction he looked at was different from others.
Even though he went through an ordinary upbringing, he lacks something. What it is has not yet been revealed specifically.
But one thing is clear.
Choi Jun-ho is a dangerous person.
Currently, he is a civil servant hunter who catches villains, but if the slightest opportunity arises, he has the potential to become the worst villain at any time.
Just looking at the privilege of non-arrest, you can know the direction of their thoughts. The moment Choi Jun-ho goes against his own standards, he will be confronted by big vested interests regardless.
Even if it is the president or the chairman of Shinsung Group.
When I was a civil servant hunter, I was called a head breaker because I had an extreme hand, but what does it feel like when I pick up a sword?
Lee Se-hee expressed her confidence out loud.
“Expunger.”
A shiver ran through my whole body.
It took a lot of time and effort to get to this point.
Choi Jun-ho’s friend Oh Jong-yeop is from Ansan.
Oh Jong-yeop, who was poor, was able to raise money for hospital expenses through the sale of a saber tiger carcass. Although they were meticulously distributed and disposed of, they could not avoid the eyes of the Holy Guild.
Sabel Tiger is a level 6 harmful monster. The heart of the monster Choi Jun-ho gave to himself is also level 6 harmful. What this means is that Choi Jun-ho hunted and handed over the saber tiger carcass to Oh Jong-yeop. Among the items that Oh Jong-yeop sold, the only heart was missing.
In other words, Choi Jun-ho appeared in Ansan to meet Oh Jong-yeop. And after hunting the Sabel Tiger, he handed it to Oh Jong-yeop. The Big Ten, which was destroyed by the expunger that day, is also headquartered in Ansan.
“There are no coincidences in this world.”
Is it reasonable to believe that two level 8 superhumans suddenly appear in the world? Or is it reasonable to think that the two who appeared around the same time are the same person?
Lee Se-hee thought the latter was overwhelmingly likely.
The difference is that the Eradicator wields a sword, and seeing Choi Jun-ho holding a sword changed his suspicions into certainty.
The reason he dispatched his subordinates in a hurry was because he could have been noticed. When the civil servant hunter turns out to be a villain, the situation gets out of control.
Choi Jun-ho spoke as if he could read her thoughts.
“Lee Se-hee.”
When our eyes met, my mind turned white. Overwhelming fear paralyzed my brain.
Even when I realized my teeth were chattering, I couldn’t stop.
“yes yes.”
“Forget what you saw today.”
The moment when a bloody force glimmers on the sword body.
Suddenly!
Both arms of Jeong Hae-sol, a doll rated as level 7, were cut off.
* * *
Oh Jong-yeop’s Slash is a representative line gift that combines the weapon’s anticipation and force to increase cutting power to the extreme.
If mines destroy everything, slashes cut down everything.
The two gifts were difficult to determine superiority or inferiority to, so I used them as I pleased that day. Some days I want to destroy it all and some days I want to cut it into small pieces. Today it was the latter.
The guy forgot his duty and treated Yunhee too much. Only I can control my younger brother. The payoff for the other guy’s roll is death.
The doll with both arms severed stumbled, but its expression did not change at all. Instead, he looked at the cut surface without a single drop of blood flowing out and smiled bizarrely. This guy is crazy too.
“Giggle! Amazing! Amazing! “Are you saying it wasn’t an ordinary level 7?”
Tsutsutsu!
The arm that was rolling around on the floor was pulled to the cut area as if it were connected to a line and stuck there. Do you sew stuffed animals?
“I’m jealous of you! A well-trained body! A doll with an outstanding gift! “I’ll get you drunk before Berserker.”
“Noisy.”
If I rip my mouth off, I won’t be able to talk anymore.
“You’ll soon get sick of hearing this, buddy. “Giggle!”
The doll burst into madness and rushed towards me. No, I tried to run away. However, the slash that rushed faster than that cut off the doll’s arms, legs, and neck. And he tore off his mouth too.
I didn’t like the fact that they kept talking about it even though it had served its purpose.
Kwasik!
I stomped on the head that was rolling around on the floor. The face was crushed, but the corner of the doll’s torn mouth was still curled up and trembling.
The doll’s blows don’t go to the puppeteer.
“Ki… Kick! Even so, I won’t die! “My army of fire and death is on you.”
“Those who shout like that value their own lives more.”
I moved my foot away from him and grabbed him by his hair.
I pushed the force into my head. Brainwashing had turned my brain into a mess, but it was a blank slate where nothing existed.
In other words, the doll is faithful to its duty. If so, there would be a controller that moves like a puppet. The force unraveled like a skein of thread touched every part of the doll’s head.
“found.”
In the doll’s head, invisible, faint waves were constantly occurring and being sent somewhere.
This is the connection between the doll and the guy.
“Is it like Bluetooth?”
“What are you doing…?”
I figured out the guy’s wavelength through brainwashing and followed it with intuition, chasing the increasingly faint force flow. Once I memorized the shape of the wave, I was able to quickly figure out where it was staying.
It was a sealed room in an abandoned house about 5km away from here. I realized that the man inside was the puppet master’s body.
The area where my senses reach. When my force is present, no matter how far away you are, you cannot avoid my eyes. Clairvoyance was activated.
A space over 5km away appeared before my eyes. In an old and broken abandoned house that had been abandoned for decades, there sat a skinny man in his late 40s with age spots all over his face.
I didn’t hide my presence. I will give the most certain death to this brat who was targeting Yoon-hee, going on a rampage without even knowing the subject, and thinking that I was immortal.
I made eye contact with my prey and smiled.
“I found it, you rat.”
* * *
“You crazy bastard! Bastard! “Aaaah!”
Puppet master Jo Hyeong-sik was furious after losing his beloved doll. There were over two hundred dolls. The power that could wipe out a medium-sized guild was defeated by just one person.
The most painful thing was the disappearance of Level 7 Bungwon Jeong Hae-sol. Jeong Hae-sol was his most powerful means of mobilizing force. However, it was torn apart without even being able to resist.
As a result, the damage was extreme. Even if he went to the league, there was a high probability that he would not be treated properly.
“You bastard, someday I will definitely kill you and turn you into a doll. “I will make you kneel in front of me and lick the floor like a dog…”
At that moment, Jo Hyeong-sik stopped talking and trembled as a strange sense of discomfort swept over his whole body.
This is a room where only you are present. It was an abandoned, abandoned house that no one would approach, and it was completely airtight to prevent even an ant from entering.
It is a room that no one can enter without permission.
It definitely has to be that way…
He unconsciously raised his head and was met with huge eyes and convulsed.
“Hi!”
Blue eyes were staring at me from the ceiling. The endless darkness felt like falling into a deep swamp.
What exactly are those eyes?
“I found it, you rat.”
“Head breaker?”
How can he get here?
Does not matter. He is immortal. An immortal who never dies.
Even though he lost over two hundred dolls, there were still many dolls under his command.
In it, he was a ruler, a monarch, and an immortal being. All the hunters were afraid of him and begged for mercy. I reigned as the worst villain, trampling and toying with the guys who thought I was great and went on a rampage.
I tried to shake off the fear like that.
The moment he made eye contact with the headbreaker, all the skin surrounding him peeled away, revealing his unsightly appearance.
This guy is out of standard. You should never fight back. You have to run away. You must survive and become stronger than before and secure a larger number of dolls.
“Ugh!”
Jo Hyeong-sik desperately shook off his blue eyes and tried to leave the room.
But I couldn’t escape. Suddenly, an intense pain came over my chest.
The murderous intent towards him was coming from beyond. The mediator is the connecting part between Jeong Hae-sol and himself. The pain started from my chest and engulfed my entire body, like a swamp that I couldn’t escape from.
“Off!”
I clenched my teeth and tried to disconnect, but it was impossible. Rather, a greater amount of force penetrated through the connection between himself and the doll.
pop! Pubububung!
A series of explosions occurred inside the body, twisting it in a bizarre direction. My mind went blank due to the uncontrollable pain.
“Bwak!”
Jo Hyeong-sik’s resistance as he struggled to live until the end is amazing! It ended with my heart exploding with a shout.
I should never have confronted you.
His head, which had been continuously coughing up blood, fell forward.
* * *
I threw the sword that was out of use on the floor. When I turned my head to the side, I saw Lee Se-hee approaching.
She is a woman with good sense. From now on, his attitude toward me has been particularly cautious. I wonder if I was a bit over-the-top because it was Yunhee’s job. As usual, I gently relaxed my momentum.
“Just… what is that?”
“I killed the puppet master.”
“Nonsense.”
Is it really that surprising that they killed him? He claimed to be immortal in a very flashy way, but in my opinion, it was just an extra effort.
“It’s a little far away. “Go check on the body.”
But he stopped when he realized he had abandoned his motorcycle and transferred. Should I walk? It takes quite a while to walk 5 km.
Lee Se-hee said, probably remembering that I blew up my motorcycle.
“There will be a car with three teams nearby. Let’s move on from that.”
As expected, Lee Se-hee. They know what I need and bring it one after another.
After a while, Team 3 picked up the car and moved to the puppeteer’s residence.
When we arrived at our destination and entered the lungs, we saw Jo Hyeong-sik dead with his arms and legs broken and his chest burst.
I guess it’s because it’s a mine triggered from a long distance. The condition of the body was very intact. On the other hand, Lee Se-hee could not hide her surprise when she saw Jo Hyeong-sik’s corpse.
“Is this person a puppeteer?”
“Do you know his face?”
“No, no one knows the puppeteer’s face. But since Junho said he killed him, that must be the case. “How did you do it?”
“I figured out the wavelength that connected him and the doll, traced it back, and killed him with a mine.”
“······.”
Lee Se-hee’s expression as she looked at me was bizarre. This is an explanation that even elementary school students can understand.
He simply exerted influence through force wherever his will was directed.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Is that possible?”
“I tried it and it turned out to be possible.”
“···Junho, there’s nothing he can’t do. “If you need a witness that Junho killed the puppeteer, I will be the witness.”
“I’ll report it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it.”
When he hit the mine with his foot, Jo Hyeong-sik’s body was torn apart. This is what it means to be hit by a mine.
I came out of the abandoned house, got into the car with Lee Se-hee, and headed to Seoul.
“What do you plan to do next?”
“I plan to catch Berserker.”
“···Berserker is a villain who may have reached level 8.”
“Level 8 is correct.”
Kim Young-Hwan went out of his way to monopolize the ball, but ended up dying after proving that Berserker was level 8.
Soon Berserker’s level will be adjusted upward and he will be on high alert.
Lee Se-hee sighed.
“The situation will change dramatically with the death of the Red Snake. “This is an opportunity for Junho’s value to increase further.”
“What do you want to say?”
“How about putting off catching Berserker? “Even now, Junho can get what he wants.”
He then mentioned rumors about Berserker.
“Berserker is a villain who will stay quiet unless you touch him first.”
Lee Se-hee talked about ways to help me based on the Berserker sightings she had heard so far. But the reason I’m targeting Berserker is because of his Gift. There is no reason to rush, but there is also no reason to delay.
“I’m saying that because I don’t know anything about Berserker.”
“yes? but······.”
“Berserker is already interested in me. “If I don’t step forward, he will step up and complain.”
The more I try to hide, the more aggressive he will become.
Membership in the league was a factor, but there was no way a self-indulgent guy would meekly follow the league’s instructions.
Because he’s crazy.
“Please do me one favor.”
“What is it?”
“Berserker will appear around here. “I need someone to wait and give me a means of contact.”
Lee Se-hee, who had always accepted my suggestions, was troubled this time.
“This is something that the person delivering it has to risk their life for.”
“He will gladly accept it.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because I know a lot about that crazy guy.”
I said with confidence. Probably no one knows more about him than I do, including his gift holder status and his strangely twisted mental structure.
Lee Se-hee nodded as if she understood what I said.
“After all, crazy people communicate with each other…?”
