The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 3

Episode 3

“A neat ending.”

I thought so.

As of today, there are no hematomas in the blood.

In the past, if it were me, I would have torn every foot in sight to pieces and killed them.

But now only the shoulder and arm have been smashed.

Instead of being swayed by madness, I took matters into my own hands. The villains wriggling like bugs on the floor were proof that I was normal.

Armed police officers waiting outside entered. One by one, the villains were arrested and the fearful citizens were stabilized.

He dragged Unrak and threw him at the armed police, who quickly arrested him.

“brother! are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

“Why on earth did you rush in so recklessly! “What if something goes wrong?”

“Were you worried?”

When I asked with a smile, the corner of Yunhee’s moistened eyes went up.

“Then why would you regret not dying!”

“I’m just unfamiliar with being worried.”

“···No matter what, I am still your younger brother. “Of course I’m worried!”

“For something like that, there was a lot of nagging.”

“If you don’t want to listen, you should be nice.”

I wanted to answer that of course I would have to say it to know because I couldn’t express it through actions, but I didn’t say anything more when I saw my brother was worried.

It tickled a little.

This scene felt unfamiliar.

Standing proudly at the place where the crime occurred.

Many of the villains have committed crimes, but there are also many who cannot withstand discipline and control. In that respect, both the former and the latter apply to me in my last life.

If you are wanted as a villain, it becomes impossible to walk proudly in this society. The freedom that can be enjoyed as a citizen is taken away. Now that I am not a villain, I have that freedom. This freedom felt maddeningly lovely.

At that time, there was a commotion outside and a woman with a knife in her hand came inside.

Hair neatly tied up in a ponytail, neatly dressed in a black suit, and beautiful looks.

Her gorgeous aura was reminiscent of an actress, but her calm, sunken eyes were like a well-forged sword.

Yunhee recognized her and looked surprised.

“uh? “It’s Jeong Da-hyeon!”

Not only she, but others also began to recognize Dahyun Jeong.

Amid the commotion around her, a woman approached Choi Jun-ho.

“This is Jeong Da-hyun, secretary of the National Defense Bureau’s Special Team and Villain Task Force.”

Jeong Da-hyun had a history of moving from a member of Korea’s largest Shinsung guild to a civil service hunter, and was considered one of the most promising awakening talents in Korea.

For reference, the Holy Guild is where Yunhee is aiming.

Dahyun Jeong reached level 3 a year after awakening, and currently reaches level 6 two years later. Considering that level 7 awakened people are the country’s core personnel and level 8 people are treated as the best in the world, the speed of development was astonishing.

With her beautiful appearance, strong sense of duty, and outstanding skills, she was selected as the person who will protect the Republic of Korea in the next generation.

In fact, 10 years later, she becomes one of the best hunters in Korea.

I remembered the moment I encountered her in my last life.

‘You must be killed because you are a villain.’

If he hadn’t followed in my footsteps, his talent would have blossomed even more.

Her gift is ‘intuition’. And it was also a gift I took through blood feeding.

“This is Junho Choi.”

“Are you the one who subdued the villains here?”

“Yes I did.”

“Excuse me, but where do you belong? Avant-garde? Reaper?”

There was a deep sense of caution in Dahyun Jeong’s voice. I couldn’t understand her reaction. They only incapacitated people so they couldn’t resist, but they didn’t kill a single person? Shouldn’t we rather be praised? But is coming back a boundary?

ah! Could it be because of intuition?

Dahyun Jeong’s intuition was very annoying when it came to enemies. It was thanks to intuition that they blindly followed me without leaving any evidence.

Still, I was proud. After returning to the past and washing away all my evil deeds, I was just an unemployed person who had ruined my parents’ backs for two years in my hometown.

“I am a civil service exam student.”

Jeong Da-hyun’s eyebrows twitched.

“Are you a civil service exam student?”

“Yes, I am preparing to become a civil servant hunter.”

“Are you preparing for level 5?”

“no.”

“Then level 7?”

“I’m preparing for level 9. “I also bought books to study.”

“······.”

Choi Jun-ho completely conquers the civil service hunter A to Z that he purchased at the bookstore today! A civil servant hunter completed in one volume! When Dahyun Jeong held up the reference book, her mouth closed.

Yunhee, who was worse off, came forward.

“Hey, Dahyun. It’s real. “My brother came up from the countryside yesterday to become a public servant hunter after preparing for a job for five years.”

“okay. I thought he was a hunter with great skills and affiliation. sorry.”

That was what he said, but the way he looked at me had a searching look in his eyes.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“yes.”

“Why do you want to become a public servant hunter?”

Currently, most aspiring hunters aim to become hunters for large corporations rather than public servant hunters. When looking at financial aspects, prospects for treatment, etc., there are almost no cases of applying to become a civil servant hunter unless one has a strong sense of duty.

So, did you think you lacked that sense of duty?

“I couldn’t get a job. So I changed my goal to becoming a public servant hunter.”

“Is that all?”

“Do we need another reason?”

“No, this is where I crossed the line. First of all, thank you for saving innocent citizens from villains.”

“······.”

This was done to pretend to be an ordinary citizen, but it makes me feel like my heart is tickling.

In her last life, Jeong Da-hyeon was a hunter who protected justice and was respected by the awakened people and citizens. He was one of the hunters who most persistently pursued me when I was crazy.

“And can you give me your contact information? We will make a recommendation to the higher-ups and push for the award of a commendation. “Today’s heroic actions will help you become a civil servant hunter.”

“thank you.”

In the past, they had a relationship where they had to kill each other, but now they were supposed to be colleagues.

In that case, it would be better to erase even the slightest doubt.

I gave him the number and said it to reassure him.

“For your information, I am not a villain. “I’m not a suspicious person.”

“······.”

“It’s so salty.”

“······.”

done. This would have cleared my doubts.

* * *

Jeong Da-hyeon, who finished the bank attack that took place today, looked around the scene.

Even though all the villains were cleared away, the horrors from before were still visible.

Attacks have become unusually frequent recently.

The damage is increasing due to the villains’ increasingly cunning movements.

Among them, innocent civilians are the ones suffering the most.

In today’s incident, many people could have died.

A rigid special teams system. She didn’t like it because she had become a public servant hunter to apprehend as many villains as possible.

“Choi Junho.”

Dahyun Jeong thought of the man she met today.

The protagonist who maimed all ten villains with his merciless hands.

You can tell just by looking at it for a moment.

What Choi Jun-ho inflicted on the villain was one-sided violence.

The appearance reminded me of a villain rather than a hunter who should serve the citizens.

Becoming a monster to catch a monster.

These are examples that Dahyun Jeong has seen countless times.

However, its purpose varies depending on how the knife is used. A sword that can stain the world with blood can also be the best sword for hunting villains.

Her gift ‘intuition’ spoke strongly.

If we don’t catch Choi Jun-ho here, it will be an uncontrollable danger.

After looking into Choi Jun-ho’s career, there wasn’t much to see.

After trying to get a job at a large company for several years, he returned to his hometown after failing.

All I had to do was return to Seoul to become a civil servant hunter.

However, the problem was the unknown areas not included in the report. Dahyun Jeong, who trusts her intuition more than the information given, decided to follow the warning her intuition gave her.

“I have to manage it myself.”

* * *

After returning home, Yunhee expressed her desire to be taught by me.

He revealed that he felt a lot from watching him subdue the villain today.

“But isn’t it excessive to maim him?”

“at all.”

“why?”

“If I had given mercy to the villains, they would have caused greater damage to the citizens.”

“······.”

“There is no ending that satisfies everyone.”

The moment a foolish villain becomes a cunning villain, it becomes a disaster that citizens cannot bear.

I often thought about that even when I was going crazy. If I had died before I gained full strength, a disaster like this would not have happened. I wish a stronger hunter had come to kill me.

“Are all villains evil people?”

“There are innocent people too.”

The world is never just. So, there are people who become villains because they are in unfair situations.

“But they are only a small minority. And in the end, they become no different from other villains.”

“difficult.”

“Constantly worry about what your justice is. “Keep in mind that rather than saving one innocent villain, that villain could massacre 100 innocent citizens.”

“okay.”

I noticed Yunhee’s gloomy expression when she returned to the room, but I decided not to care. It was a growing pain that everyone had to experience at least once.

Actually, I was also mocking myself when I said this.

Aren’t I the ultimate villain among those villains?

When I still close my eyes, the faces of people who died by my own hands come to mind.

Although I lost control of my body, I ripped out their hearts with my own hands and sucked their blood. I, who have become stronger, am the pinnacle of evil.

Even if something was done while crazy, the past does not disappear.

It felt disgusting to see him seize an unexpected opportunity and give advice as if he knew better, but he wasn’t naive enough to miss the opportunity.

“I live a normal life, a normal life.”

I tried it today and it seemed possible.

* * *

The reason why I realized my abilities in my past life was due to a combination of coincidences and coincidences.

Gifts are only unlocked when conditions are met.

However, in most cases, it is not possible to determine which attribute is related, let alone satisfy the condition.

In my case, I happened to know that it was a blood-related ability and there was nothing I didn’t do to unlock the gift. I personally cut myself, drank the blood, and applied it to myself. Then, he became addicted by drinking the blood of a monster.

Since I couldn’t open the gift and my level was low, what I could do was limited. In the end, I gave up looking for a job and started working as a monster cleanup crew.

The monster disposal team secures by-products after the hunt is over. This is because the price of monster skin, meat, blood, etc. varies greatly depending on the freshness.

Then, sometimes aggro occurs and the cleaning team is attacked by monsters.

It was a similar situation when I woke up. While they were securing by-products, they were attacked by monsters that smelled blood, and since they were far more numerous than the hunting team, they were on the verge of annihilation.

At that time, I ate the heart of the monster I was holding in my hand to survive. I don’t know why I did that, but I acted as my instincts guided me, and it became an opportunity for my abilities to awaken.

I was the only one who survived there.

Both the monster and the hunter are dead. And that ability became mine.

It was the moment when Hematoma, the worst villain who was crazy about blood, was born.

* * *

Time passed quickly after purchasing the reference book to become a civil servant hunter.

I gave Yunhee help in using the Force and studied mainly from reference books.

Meanwhile, a commendation was given for defeating the villain at the bank. Jeong Da-hyun also personally participated and congratulated him on the occasion.

“As you stepped up for the citizens, you will be given extra points on the civil service examination.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

“What. “I feel sorry that I can only do this.”

“It’s really okay.”

“yes.”

When the award ceremony was over and I went out, Dahyun Jeong followed me.

“Excuse me, but may I know when I will take the civil service hunter exam?”

“I’m thinking two months later, if not three months later.”

“Is it later than you thought?”

“There are circumstances.”

Actually, reading the reference book was a bit slow.

The civil service hunter exam is held once a month, and the competition rate is 3:1. However, considering the actual number of absentees, the ratio drops to 1.5:1 when the number is 2:1.

There was a moment of silence, and Dahyun Jeong asked.

“What do you think about the villain task force?”

“I think it’s a great place.”

“Then, if you pass the test, how about joining our villain task force?”

“I’ve never thought about it.”

“ah.”

Dahyun Jeong sighed. I added because I thought she misunderstood.

“It’s not that I don’t like the villain task force. As far as I know, only the elite among civil servant hunters go to the National Protection Agency. But I don’t know if it’s possible with my scores.”

“It’s not that you don’t like it. “That’s a good thing.”

“Because passing comes first.”

“Yes, I was impatient. “I apologize.”

“it’s okay.”

Jeong Da-hyun smiled at the answer without any change in expression.

“The way Junho subdued the villain that day was impressive.”

“Is that so.”

“yes. Still, wouldn’t it be better to have a little mercy in your hands? “Three of the subdued villains were in critical condition.”

“ah.”

Only then did I realize my mistake. It wasn’t all about not killing on the spot. We should have kept in mind that he would be incapacitated and then go to a serious condition.

No matter how much better the healing agent’s performance is, if you die, you won’t be able to say anything.

For interrogation, holding one’s breath was essential.

In that respect, Dahyun Jeong was a professional. Because we are talking about control at hand, taking into account interrogation after suppression. As a villain in the past, I thought all I had to do was hold my breath, so I ended up showing my clumsiness.

Next time, I thought I would just use moderate force and just destroy the limb.

“I made a mistake on that part.”

When I realized and agreed, Dahyun Jeong’s expression relaxed.

“What. Junho will definitely become a great hunter.”

“I will work hard.”

From what I remember, Dahyun Jeong didn’t destroy the villain’s limbs. Is there a difference between a clean and a sure method?

Dahyun Jeong seems to have been a bit more extreme than I thought.

We both smiled at each other.
