The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 29
Episode 29
It’s a mystery why he’s alive. He clearly used full recovery and then broke his heart once more.
Was full recovery possible twice? But the only complete recovery I achieved was once.
“How did you survive?”
“I don’t know the details either.”
Full recovery is a one-time gift and disappears when used.
“When your hand pierced my heart and I was dying, a change occurred in the complete recovery that was disappearing within me. The gift stopped disappearing, was reorganized, and was restored. And then it activated again and disappeared. “That’s all I know.”
“······.”
I took a moment to gather my thoughts.
Until now, I thought that blood feeding was taking away the gift. Here, stealing meant the death of the other person.
But after listening to Berserker’s words, I thought that might not be the case. What if blood feeding was copying rather than robbery? What if the other person’s gift still exists in the process of reading information for copying?
In the case of Berserker, it is a one-time gift and cannot be read properly when it expires, so it seems that it was forcibly restored and copied.
Is that why the headaches got worse? I thought it hurt more because I was sane, not crazy.
Up until now, the enemies I had dealt with had died, but Berserker had fully recovered and survived.
I see. I understood everything. It is truly a leech-like vitality.
Still, one question about blood feeding was removed. This time, I will let you go without pain.
“Then let’s die again.”
“Wait a minute, I want to live.”
“Has your personality changed? “He’s not a character who basically begs for his life.”
“After dying twice, my thoughts changed. Death itself isn’t scary, but it reminds me of something I want to do. More than anything.”
Berserker looked at me.
“Through experiencing your strength, I was able to see a path. “I wanted to sharpen my skills once again.”
If I let you live.
“Refining your skills in the underworld.”
“…How can I save your life?”
“Well, that’s fine. “There’s no reason to save you.”
“I will fully cooperate with whatever you do in the future.”
“You’re quitting being a villain?”
Berserker shook his head.
“Even if I repent and go back, the world won’t accept me. This world has put various restrictions in place to control the awakened and make the public feel safe. Among them, I am a special species. There’s nothing you can do. You are stronger and smarter than me, so you have a better position, but it will be similar. “I can understand you.”
“······.”
To be honest, these words really touched me.
Then, this thought occurred to me.
Maybe the world is strange? Maybe I’m normal, but the world is so strange that I don’t understand it.
In that respect, Berserker and I had similar perspectives. But should I keep that crazy guy alive just to have a secret friend?
“Talk was fun too. Actually, it was my first time using a smartphone. If you let me live, I will become your hands and feet in the outskirts. “I want to live.”
The guy on his knees bowed his head.
Seeing that image reminded me of myself with a hematoma.
At that time, I prayed earnestly that somehow just one opportunity would come.
What would have happened if someone around me had helped me back then?
···Maybe not much has changed.
Anyway, seeing his will for life, I decided to give him a chance.
Anyway, he made a full recovery and said he would become my hands and feet, so if he doesn’t listen and goes on a rampage, I can kill him then.
“From now on, just kill the villains.”
“Are you saving me?”
“Oh, and if you know anything about the league, tell me more.”
“I understand it to be a group of strong villains.”
I waited for him to speak, but Berserker instead looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“It’s over.”
“···This is the end?”
“What else is there?”
I am a crazy person for asking a crazy person.
“done. And just because you joined the league, don’t stand out.”
“Seeing you made me lose interest in the league. “Don’t worry.”
“good. Then I’ll give you your first mission. “Kill everyone involved in the league who came to greet you.”
“Sure.”
“Tap me when you’re done.”
I let Berserker go.
* * *
Around the time I returned to Seoul and returned to the National Defense Bureau, I received a call from Berserker.
The remaining forces of the Berserker-League were destroyed. I will send my neck if necessary.
Me-just send me a picture.
Berserker – Got it. Berserker – [Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo][Attach photo]
I took pictures of every single scene of the crazy guy and sent it to him.
. For a moment, I thought this guy might be normal, but this guy was just crazy.
I went inside, said hello to Jeong Da-hyeon and her colleagues first, and then knocked on the door of the director’s office.
Joo-ho Jeong, who was working, looked at me with an expectant look on his face.
“What about Berserker?”
“I didn’t kill him.”
“···It must not have been easy since he is a level 8 superhuman. I’m glad you came back safely. But it’s not that you can’t kill it, it’s that you won’t kill it?”
“Berserker expressed his intention to cooperate and asked for my life.”
“Berserker? “That crazy guy asked for your life?”
“yes. But can I recycle Berserker?”
Jeong Joo-ho’s head nodded at 3x speed.
“Are you saying that now? Of course not! “Don’t be!”
“But he’s a villain…”
“no! Berserker was a man whose mind went back and forth, but his standard of use was clear. The hunter who was killed by this guy was also a guy with dirty behavior. I can mobilize a level 8 superhuman, that’s not a problem. “If you’re dissatisfied, go to Berserker and complain.”
I think it’s a little different from the Berserker evaluation I first heard.
“And you don’t have to reveal it to the outside world. There is that level of autonomy. “You’re not saying that Berserker wants to stop being a villain and return to the city to live as a normal person, right?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then that’s enough. “Let’s use him as a special agent like Blink.”
“We couldn’t kill Berserker, but there was a small achievement.”
I showed Joo-ho Jeong a photo of Berserker destroying the League forces that had landed in Korea.
“…He won’t listen to me, right?”
“Would you like to meet him?”
“No, I don’t think he will listen to me. “It smells strangely similar to yours.”
“······.”
“Don’t feel bad because that guy is crazier than you. haha!”
I don’t know why I keep comparing Berserker.
But does that mean I’m crazy too?
* * *
I took a vacation prior to the level 8 measurement and headed to my parents’ house in Cheongju with Yunhee, who was discharged in good health. This guy has been interfering with everything to make sure he gets healthier by eating special meals at the hospital.
“The car is so dirty. “Can’t we change it?”
“I have no money. “If you’re dissatisfied, you buy it.”
“What kind of car do you have when you don’t even have a license?”
“I was asking you to buy me something to drive.”
“······.”
Having succeeded in keeping Yunhee quiet, I concentrated on driving. He pouted his mouth and openly showed his dissatisfaction, but if he ate his mother’s food, he would soon be relieved.
Upon arriving at her hometown in Cheongju, Yoonhee burst out of the door and charged at her parents standing in front of the house.
“mom! dad!”
“Yoonhee! how have you been doing?”
“I’m glad to see you’re doing well.”
“Yeah, I’ve been fine.”
Is it a good thing I didn’t mention being hospitalized? If I had done that, I would have been nagging for various reasons. You’re quite clever.
“Is Junho here too? “I had a hard time driving.”
“Good job.”
“yes.”
After saying goodbye to my parents, I headed home. Looking at the harmful monster extermination device hanging in the orchard, it seemed to still be effective. I don’t know when the effect will wear off, so I’ll have to kill a wild boar again before I go up.
The time the whole family got together was fun. My parents were truly happy that I became a civil servant hunter and that Yunhee joined the Sacred Guild.
Yunhee took this opportunity to tell her parents that she would come up to Seoul, but they refused.
“We are still young enough to work and raise children. “I’ll think about it when you’re all settled in.”
“It won’t take long.”
“Then why don’t you bring a good man and marry him!”
“Are you busy trying to find a place in the guild? And Choi Jun-ho, that person has his eyes wide open. Would it be easy to meet a man?”
“What are you to my brother? And why Junho? “Junho, are you really interfering with Yoonhee meeting a man?”
“I never disturbed you.”
“That’s not a hindrance?”
Yunhee looked shocked. It was actually me who was frustrated.
I didn’t do anything. I just thought that if I wanted to date Yoonhee, this would be good.
“Ask your brother first, not me! “Maybe I’ll meet a girl soon?”
The parents laughed at Yunhee’s words. It was a laugh.
“Junho a woman?”
“Yoonhee, no matter what, you put a normal woman in a pitiful situation…”
“No! “How amazing are the women who have a connection with my brother.”
Yunhee tried to turn the arrow towards me.
Then the topic of conversation shifted to our life in Seoul. Yunhee explained the process of adapting to the Shinseong guild and explained to me how Lee Sehee and I met, but my parents didn’t believe me at all. Rather, he advised me to watch dramas in moderation. Yoonhee, she needs to stop doing dramas.
In the end, Yoonhee gave up trying to convince her and explained the privileges given by the Sacred Guild, and her parents showed great interest. Access to Shinsung Hospital was something that my parents’ generation would be most interested in.
“Is Junho adjusting well?”
“yes. “I adapted without difficulty because there was a lot of help from those around me.”
“Oh, and my brother’s shooter, Jeong Da-hyun, is famous for being a genius…”
I keep forcing it. It’s best to meet someone of the opposite sex naturally, but this guy made it artificial.
“······.”
I watched the scene quietly. My parents and my younger brother argued, and my parents nagged me, but I didn’t hate it. This time was what I was trying to protect. My goal was to protect this time in the future.
To do that, you have to go up to a higher level and gain more rights.
“Oh, and I’m planning on taking the level 8 test in a week.”
“what······?”
“Level 8. “Didn’t you tell me?”
“······.”
“Why are you saying that now?”
Didn’t I tell Yunhee too?
After a while, even my parents burst out in astonishment.
* * *
The presence of Choi Jun-ho, who appeared like a comet, shook the government. Unsurprisingly, a level 8 measurement challenger appeared from a completely unexpected place.
Level 8 can never appear below the surface. Through systematic education and systematic experience, countless candidates are created from childhood, and one of them rises to level 8.
However, the existence of Choi Jun-ho was an unusual being that suddenly emerged from the ground one day.
He didn’t stand out as a child, and he only became a civil servant hunter for six months. In particular, it is rumored that the Blue House was shocked to hear that he was in the 9th grade.
The emergence of Level 8 was a savior for the government, but it was also a cause for concern. There was insufficient verification of Choi Jun-ho. In particular, the results shown over the past six months were remarkable, but the tendencies were extremely dangerous.
The secretary dispatched from the Awakened Security Office, which oversees the Awakened people, was holding on to this part.
The Blue House Secretary is a first-class civil servant.
Although he was a higher rank than himself, Jeong Joo-ho’s attitude toward the secretary was stiff.
“So you’re saying it’s my fault now?”
“Rather, I’m curious as to why the information wasn’t shared.”
“How could I have known that he was a level 8 expert? “All I did was train him as a new recruit because I thought his skills would be great.”
“Still, it should have been shared with the higher-ups…”
“If I had shared it, would you have believed it was right? “A 25-year-old is level 8?”
“At least you wouldn’t have been treated like an idiot who didn’t know anything.”
In the end, it was a matter of respect. Jeong Joo-ho burst out laughing.
“So what is it up there?”
“I tell them to catch it at all costs.”
“So how?”
“As a public servant hunter, wouldn’t you naturally be greedy for public office? Let’s focus on that part…”
“I don’t think you really mean it.”
The secretary nodded.
“I think we will prepare a detailed negotiation plan after confirming that level 8 is correct. The manager is preparing it himself. Aside from that, it’s hard to believe that you’re level 8 in your 20s. Right now, it’s the same for us and the world that accepts it.”
“You’ll be level 8.”
And that too at a very mature level. But I didn’t say that much.
The rigid government organizations will come to their senses only if they try dipping it in poop or soybean paste.
The newly arrived Director of the Awakened Security Office is resourceful, but it is impossible for him to change the bureaucracy on his own.
If it turns out that Choi Jun-ho is level 8, there will probably be a high premium. If you want to catch it, you have to pay the price. The Director of the Awakened Security Office will also have a hard time.
Still, since we were part of the same family, I gave him some advice.
“We will have to look at Choi Jun-ho’s report and come up with measures.”
“I read it.”
The secretary who said that asked cautiously.
“But was that report real?”
“The expression has been greatly purified.”
“···I see a difficult road ahead.”
“You will have to prepare your mind well. “That way you can catch it.”
“I will report it to the top. The manager will directly participate in the negotiations, so I cannot confirm anything. Fortunately, the manager is resourceful, so you won’t have to worry.”
“Good luck.”
In the end, the secretary only obtained some information about Choi Jun-ho and returned without much benefit. Jeong Joo-ho only reaffirmed the government’s somewhat complacent attitude, but thought things would get a little better once the head of the Awakened Security Office stepped forward.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought that one of the highest-ranking awakened people in Korea would talk directly to Choi Jun-ho.
“I’m going to poop some blood.”
To be honest, I was curious about how the people who encountered it would react when his madness turned to the government.
Choi Jun-ho would be a noob to them too.
It was revenge for the hair that was lost in vain because of that guy.
“I can’t be the only one who can taste Choi Jun-ho. Let’s all taste it together.”
This taste was too special to be enjoyed alone.
