The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 32
Episode 32
In the end, Cheon Myeong-guk returned, leaving a message saying that he would positively consider the privilege of non-arrest.
I guess he decided to believe me when I told him that he could control his strength.
Jung Joo-ho looked at me and was impressed.
“Does it seem like your tongue is flying by the day?”
“thank you.”
“In particular, the two-track strategy with two immunity and non-arrest privileges was truly surprising. and! “If I were the head of the Awakened Security Office, my head might explode.”
“You mean two-track?”
“Weren’t you aiming for the privilege of non-arrest from the beginning?”
It’s not. I seriously aimed for both immunity and immunity from arrest.
When I had a hematoma, there was no need for negotiation. What I presented was the final proposal, and the other party had no choice but to accept it.
But this time, only one of the two could be accomplished.
So, deep down, I was thinking that the negotiations had failed.
“We were also aiming for immunity.”
“That’s honestly impossible. “If you had tried to get it until the end, Director Cheon would have given up, right?”
“Is that so?”
“You might not think so, but the power of immunity is enormous.”
The budget allocated to awakened people each year alone exceeds 100 trillion won.
Joo-ho Jeong said that level 8 superhumans have the authority to participate in operations, but do they have immunity from interfering with the budget? This means that even if a huge amount of injustice is committed, it cannot be prevented.
“I didn’t know that.”
“What were you thinking when you talked about immunity?”
“I tried to change the provisions of the law to catch villains.”
For example, when arresting villains outside the city, preemptive measures are broadly recognized or the right to summary judgment is improved.
Excessive suppression of villains is a problem when it comes to cases caused by miscellaneous criminals operating secretly within the city. Villains outside the city carry firearms and attack in all kinds of cowardly ways, so it is best to wipe them out as soon as they are seen.
“… I’m so glad I wasn’t given immunity.”
Jung Joo-ho sighed.
“It makes sense, doesn’t it?”
“there is. I also think it would be good if it were revised. But honestly, it’s scary to think about how you’ll use that right.”
This is an answer I don’t really like. Rather, because of me, the crime rate is dropping and front-line civil servant hunters are awakening.
Is it really as Berserker said that the world doesn’t understand me?
“It’s a good thing you didn’t talk about Berserker.”
“Because it’s a trump card.”
“But if it is revealed later, there may be unnecessary misunderstanding. “It would be better to reveal this to Director Cheon at the appropriate time.”
“For now, I will try not to get caught.”
“Couldn’t Berserker be making noise?”
hmm. For some reason, it seems like Berserker might be like that.
But one thing is clear.
“Who would believe that crazy guy?”
“······.”
“And Berserker is more observant than you think.”
“That crazy guy?”
“yes. “There was a part of it that was more normal than I thought.”
Jung Joo-ho doesn’t look like he believes what I’m saying at all. Berserker may be a crazy person, but he is a crazy person who can communicate.
You can’t have a face-to-face conversation.
Should I arrange a surprise meeting?
As I left the National Defense Bureau, I stopped when I saw the countless piles of messages.
Berserker – You received a level 8 measurement? Congratulations!
Berserker – You’re level 8. Did you set up the net on purpose?
Berserker – The world will still underestimate you.
Berserker – Some people will get caught without knowing the subject.
Berserker – I’m doing well.

Next time I see it, I’ll have to destroy my smartphone.

My parents, who were negative about going to Seoul when I visited them in Cheongju, gladly accepted the idea of going to Seoul after hearing that I had reached level 8.
Rather than holding on to their children while living in a rural area, they would rather live by looking after their children. It was a reassuring statement for me as well.
“You said you would live separately. “I think I should add a little more.”
“I have to add it.”
Due to the rampage of monsters and villains expanding their territory, housing prices in Seoul, which had become the safest city in Korea, were sky-rocketing. Even if your parents sell off all their assets and move up, it will be difficult to find a decent person.
Yoonhee and I discussed how to add money. Yunhee said she would take out a loan, but stopped her because she would be hunting a monster soon.
“If you say that, I’ll be grateful and stay quiet. “I also benefit from my excellent brother.”
Maybe it’s because he was saving money, but he smiles. Is there any reason to save? Does it look like a man?
“But you don’t need any other preparation to find a gift, right?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“okay?”
“Because it’s like a fingerprint. “It was originally engraved.”
“Wouldn’t it be great if this became known?”
“is it.”
“Why is there such a reaction to such a great sauce? If you tell Sehee unnie, it will be a huge hit! “By commercializing it, my brother can also sit on a cushion of money.”
Yunhee said with sparkling eyes, but she didn’t want to say it because it was an ability related to my gift.
I do not intend to reveal this ability to anyone other than a few trusted people. Lee Se-hee is trustworthy, but since she is essentially a chaebol, I decided to think a little more about it.
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Yunhee gave up obediently.
Today is the day we decided to find out Yunhee’s gift. And in order to prepare for any emergency, Dahyun Jeong decided to help.
Actually, there is no need to prepare to this extent, but since it was my first attempt, I was careful.
After a while, Dahyun Jeong appeared with the sound of the doorbell.
Dahyun Jeong, wearing a black breeze shirt dress, was full of feminine charm unlike usual.
“Welcome, sister!”
There was an uproar over how pretty Yoonhee was, who clung to Jeong Dahyun like a puppy rushing to its food.
“Hello, Yoonhee. “Hello Junho oppa.”
“Huh brother?”
“huh. Because I am no longer going to be a second-in-command, but a person higher than me. I decided to call him oppa. “Choin-nim is a bit awkward.”
“Hmph, is that so?”
It was a little awkward, but I didn’t show it.
“···I heard that a calm cat goes up to the stove first, so Se-hee needs to work hard too.”
“Choi Yunhee, get ready.”
I called Yunhee, who was muttering meaningfully, and then spoke to Jeong Dahyun.
“What I need to do today is because I want you to use a recovery potion in case of an emergency.”
“yes.”
I handed two recovery medicines to Dahyun Jeong. And I explained to Yunhee how to find a gift.
My unique gift, Blood Feeding, steals the other person’s gift by consuming blood. To be exact, it is a copy. The heart’s blood is most effective in copying a gift, and the farther away you are from the heart, the less likely it is to read the gift.
Then, I had this thought.
Wouldn’t it be possible for hunters who couldn’t open the gift to open the gift by reading the information engraved in the blood?
There are two types of gift opening: innate opening and acquired opening. As for acquired opening, I thought that if you find out the direction in which you have potential, it will become easier if you make efforts in that direction.
Today I planned to read the gift information engraved in Yunhee’s blood.
“It begins.”
“huh.”
Sigh!
“······!”
When my finger touched the side of Yunhee’s heart, about a knuckle of my finger penetrated into the skin.
Yoon-hee, whose eyes were so big that they were torn out, stumbled, but Jeong Da-hyun helped her and quickly sprayed her with recovery medication.
I lifted my red-stained finger and drank the blood. In it, we wanted to figure out what types of gifts Yunhee could have.
It’s not perfect because it’s not heart blood, but with the experience I’ve accumulated over the years, I started to identify and categorize gifts that Yunhee can open.
As expected, there were various types of gifts.
Horizontal step that can move a distance of 10m left and right. Cleaning that washes away foreign substances. Gluttony that slightly increases energy storage.
These are all useless gifts. Then, when I finally saw the detected gift, my eyes lit up.
“Choi Yunhee.”
“Wow, I’ve been living so long that I feel like there’s a hole in my chest. It hurts so much. Do you have anything? “It’s not like it doesn’t exist at all, right?”
I nodded my head in response to the question filled with anxiety.
“There are a few. “I found some useful ones among them.”
“What?”
“Indomitable.”
“Indomitable? “I haven’t heard of it.”
It was a gift I had only seen once. Its power was truly powerful.
“It’s a unique gift. Even if you are exhausted and your force is used up, you can still exert your full power until you are completely depleted.”
Awakened people are also humans, so their attack power is ultimately determined by their physical strength and force. The difference between when it is at 100% and when it is at 10% is stark, and the method of inducing the opponent’s stamina to deplete is very common.
However, Indomitable can exert 100% power even at 10%. The enemy you are dealing with must deal with attacks that do not drop in power from beginning to end.
“Isn’t that great?”
“It is impossible to demonstrate full power from the beginning. “It has to be followed by rigorous training.”
Only when those sweat drops accumulate and become a river can you finally demonstrate 100% combat power. Yunhee met my eyes and screamed in horror.
“Wait a minute! stop! “Stop thinking!”
“why?”
“Isn’t this expression a joke? “I thought I was going to roll so hard!”
“Because that’s how you can use Indomitable.”
I also no longer hid my true feelings.
There are no personal feelings. It only helps Yunhee grow further.
“Do not be ridiculous! There’s nothing like having no personal feelings. “You’re excited about me rolling.”
“When did I?”
“The corners of his mouth are curled up now.”
I, too, am tired of peace. How dare you show your emotions like this. No, I made a mistake because it was in front of my younger brother. When I touched the corner of her mouth with my hand, Yunhee screamed.
“Look! You’re excited now! “The corners of your mouth didn’t turn up from the beginning?”
“Dahyun. “Can you help me?”
“Yes brother. I’ve only heard of Indomitable, but it’s a precious gift. Yoonhee, let’s go to the training center quickly. That way, we can open the gift as soon as possible.”
“I thought Dahyun was on my side. I never thought the gunner’s assistant gunner would be fooled. This is why I feel sad for people who are not part of the National Defense Bureau! “I also want to go to the National Defense Bureau!”
“Sehee will be upset when she hears that. “We are all working hard for you, Yunhee.”
“Can’t you just make that effort in moderation?”
“I’ll do my best.”
Dahyun Jeong and I took Yunhee to the training center.
Soon, the training began with Yunhee’s happy screams.

After negotiations with Cheon Myeong-guk, Choi Jun-ho’s request was finally passed by the government.
He was given the privilege of not being arrested and was allowed to work as a government superhuman.
< Birth of the youngest level 8 superhuman! >
< The new superhuman is the person who killed the puppeteer! >
< Government of the Republic of Korea! The youngest superhuman and regular contract! >
< Level 8 superhuman is from the National Protectorate! >
< Korea's advanced education system for awakened people! Surprising the world! >
< The K-awakened education system praised by the United States, amazed by China, and feared by Japan! >
“···It’s been a while.”
Cheon Myeong-guk was relieved to see articles pouring in at a rapid pace.
Although the negotiations lasted for a short period of time, it was a series of bloody moments.
Although the government expressed disapproval about the privilege of non-arrest, time was on Choi Jun-ho’s side.
He is a genius who reached level 8 at the youngest age. Rumors were heard that the United States, which had dispatched an observer delegation, was preparing various support measures, including a budget plan, to bring Choi Jun-ho in, and neighboring countries as well as all countries that could present conditions were keeping an eye on Choi Jun-ho and preparing to rush in.
Large guilds added. It has been said that they are preparing not only the largest unit down payment that has ever been made, but also stock options for valuable affiliates that will be listed.
It is as obvious as seeing fire that Choi Jun-ho’s ransom will increase as time passes. Cheon Myeong-guk, who judged that if he waited any longer, would have no choice but to miss out on both privileges, declared that he would take responsibility and strongly pushed for the grant of the privilege of non-arrest.
As a result, this result was achieved.
“Good catch.”
The symbolism of Choi Jun-ho was truly remarkable. What was special was that he was the youngest level 8 player in his 20s, his skills had already reached a mature level, and he had a wealth of practical experience and achievements.
What Cheon Myeong-guk noticed is that Choi Jun-ho does not have the vanity or needless desire for fame or material wealth that is typical of a young genius awakened.
Sometimes young awakened people crossed the line by asking for private planes or national treasure-level equipment, but Choi Jun-ho had no such greed. In other words, there is little possibility of making additional, unreasonable demands on the government.
The only thing I’m worried about is that his hands are poisonous, but as he said, the number of cases of excessive suppression has decreased noticeably recently, so I decided to trust him.
“I guess my power control failed.”
Because everyone is full of energy and can make mistakes.
Cheon Myeong-guk decided to trust Choi Jun-ho’s good intentions.
“But why did you ask for the reporters’ information?”
I was puzzled by the requests for information from the reporters attending today, but I obediently handed it over.
What could possibly be happening?
The appearance of the new level 8 superhuman took place in the press conference room of the National Assembly headquarters. Cheon Myeong-guk first announced the recruitment of Choi Jun-ho to reporters and then took the time to introduce Choi Jun-ho, who appeared while answering questions from reporters.
“I hope to go along well.”
“I will do my best to catch the villain.”
“······.”
I thought the strangely out-of-focus feeling was an overreaction.
The spotlight in the stadium fell on Choi Jun-ho.
When he first appeared in public as a level 8 superhuman, he was reminiscent of an actor.
He has a handsome appearance reminiscent of a nobleman and a well-toned, well-proportioned body. When he appeared wearing a charcoal gray suit and an all-over black tie, it seemed as if he had appeared at a movie premiere.
Normally, he would be embarrassed when all eyes were on him like this, but he introduced himself without changing his expression.
“This is Choi Jun-ho of the National Defense Bureau. In the future, we plan to move in step with the National Defense Bureau.”
After a brief introduction, it was time for questions.
“This is Kim Jae-deok of Moonsong Ilbo. “I’m curious about your future aspirations.”
“I will do my best to make Korea a villain-free country.”
“This is reporter Kim Song-hwa of Hannuri Newspaper. “You said you killed the puppeteer, but I’m curious about the process…”
“The puppeteer used force waves to control the puppets…”
“Revival content…”
Many questions were asked by the media, and each time there was an unequivocal answer.
In particular, the process of eliminating the puppet master was as exciting as a drama.
‘No worries.’
Cheon Myeong-guk, who was concerned about Choi Jun-ho’s sharpness, also became more comfortable.
Maybe all his worries were unnecessary.
Then, near the end of the press conference, his expression hardened when he saw who had the right to speak.
It was a man in his late 40s with a bulldog-like appearance.
“This is Speed Force reporter Oh Chang-moon. After researching Choi Jun-ho, it is known that he used excessive suppression during his time as a civil servant hunter, causing controversy in society. In fact, there are many villains who are disabled or crippled throughout their lives. “Do you feel sorry for them?”
“······.”
The press conference room fell silent.
Eyes poured in from all directions, but Oh Chang-moon waited for an answer with a calm expression.
Choi Jun-ho picked up the microphone.
“Reporter Oh Chang-moon of Speed Force”
“Yes.”
Although they pretended not to, the reporters looked like they were looking forward to how Choi Jun-ho would respond.
This is because the younger you are, the more likely you are to be caught by such provocations. This tendency will be even more noticeable if you are a level 8 superhuman in your 20s with a lot of energy and no fear of the world.
However, the words that came out of Choi Jun-ho’s mouth were completely different from what the reporters thought.
“When I looked into it, I found out that he had been writing articles criticizing me since I arrested the villain. “It’s excessive suppression, it’s an infringement of authority, the hands are more cruel than the villain, etc.”
“I just reported the facts.”
“That kind of reporter.”
Choi Jun-ho’s emotionless eyes turned to Oh Chang-moon.
“You received entertainment from a villain organization in Seodaemun-gu and advocated drug distribution.”
“······.”
Oh Chang-moon’s expression crumpled. This is because it was the worst event in my life that was widely reported on TV five years ago. As a result, it took more than three years to return to the front line.
Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been watching quietly, stood up in surprise. I never dreamed that Choi Jun-ho would openly point it out.
What are you doing now? Did you blatantly criticize the reporter?
No wonder he asked for the reporter’s information…
“Now, the superhuman who is supposed to protect the citizens is scaring the reporter with a story that doesn’t fit the topic!”
Oh Chang-moon’s actions of yelling as his temper did not come to an end. Before I knew it, Choi Jun-ho was standing in front of me.
“I accept the entertainment provided by the villain and take the villain’s side. “Then you’re not a reporter, you’re a villain.”
Quad deuk!
“Kwaaaak!”
In an instant, both of Oh Chang-mun’s arms broke in opposite directions. And when he touched his shin, both legs also broke.
In an instant, Oh Chang-Moon, whose limbs were broken, screamed and crawled on the floor.
“I think Oh Chang-moon is a villain, not a reporter.”
Choi Jun-ho looked around.
“Who is dissatisfied?”
“······.”
