The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 34
Episode 34
Yun-hee, who was looking at me with suspicious eyes, went outside, leaving me and Lee Se-hee alone.
“The recovery agent worked well.”
“This is the most authentic review since it comes from someone who uses it the most. Thanks for the compliments.”
“It’s a natural assessment.”
“······.”
“Are you here because you have something you want to tell me?”
As expected, Lee Se-hee was quick-witted, so it was easy to work with her. It seems like he’s overly smart and attaches meaning to everything.
Today was the first time I realized that such calculations were hidden in my actions.
“I want to make a request.”
“What is it like?”
“Shinsung Pharmaceutical is known to be the best in Korea. “I know that our competitiveness is outstanding even in the world.”
“That’s right, it’s one of the results of the recovery system Junho uses. The US is strong, but the price is very high. Ours is price competitive. “Junho, what you want to request is a restorative medicine?”
“that’s right.”
“Which do you want?”
“I would like to request the development of a recovery agent that can repair severed parts of the body.”
“······.”
“Is it difficult?”
Lee Se-hee’s expression seemed unmanageable.
Isn’t this an idea worth trying once?
“I thought for a moment about what Junho was thinking right now. Uh um. “The intention is to deal with unexpected accidents that occur during battle, right?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“You can do it, but I don’t know if it’s effective. “It can be done with surgery, and even if it is attached, you can’t fight right away.”
“But the imbalance can be corrected. “If you hold the sword with the opposite hand, your combat power will decrease, but losses can be minimized.”
“That’s true, but…”
I threw bait to Lee Se-hee, who hesitated.
“I’m not asking you to do it for free. “We will provide funding for research.”
“Research funds?”
“And I know it’s effective in attaching cuts.”
“Then the research can be greatly shortened.”
“Do you want to do it?”
“If the hint Junho gives is clear.”
In this way, we succeeded in obtaining Lee Se-hee’s cooperation.
Lee Se-hee thought I was attaching the severed limbs, but she actually had a different idea.
Because if you can’t escape, it might blow off your head. If you destroy the head with a mine, you cannot remove it, but if you cut it off and attach it, you can minimize liability.
Because outer packaging is important.
But will the cut marks be erased when reattached?

Cheon Myeong-guk and Jeong Joo-ho met late at night. The two drank soju with mussel soup and grilled fish at a shabby old bar.
“I’m sorry for contacting you suddenly.”
“No, it’s okay. If the manager calls, you have to come. That incident happened in a big way today. “I thought a place like this could be created.”
“haha.”
“···Are you okay?”
Jeong Joo-ho was worried about the condition of Cheon Myeong-guk, who burst into dry laughter.
“it’s okay. “It should be okay.”
What would it be like if you were Cheon Myung-guk? Jeong Joo-ho was thankful to God that he was just a director.
“I pushed strongly for Choi Jun-ho’s contract.”
“I know because I was there too.”
“As you know, the regular contract is for 7 years. Choi Jun-ho and our government need to maintain a relationship for seven years.”
“······.”
“But something happened from the first day. It’s only one day since I signed a contract with Choin Choi Jun-ho. Hehehe! The remaining contract period is 6 years and 364 days. “It is 2554 days and it is now 10 o’clock, so in terms of time, there are 107,270 hours left.”
You have to take care of Choi Jun-ho for 100,000 hours? I felt dizzy just listening to it. The words “I would rather kill you” rose up into my throat.
When I mentioned specific numbers, I understood why Cheon Myeong-guk was drinking.
“Director Jeong, did you know that Superhuman Choi Jun-ho was this kind of person?”
“If I say I didn’t know, it would be like deceiving the director. I knew it. Choi Jun-ho is that kind of guy. But if you thought you were going to crash and hit like that today, no. “He always exceeded my imagination.”
Jeong Joo-ho clinked his glasses as he watched Cheon Myeong-guk raise his glass in silence.
At this moment, their hearts were in sync.
“I can clearly see how much hardship Director Jeong must have endured during this time.”
“It’s only been half a year for me.”
“okay. For me, 6 years and 364 days. “After 100,000 hours!”
Cheon Myeong-guk filled his glass and took a drink.
“Now that I think about it, I doubt whether I will keep my position until then. But if I quit, who will control Superhuman Choi Jun-ho? No, it can be controlled in the first place, right? “I am very afraid of the situation if I lose the reins that give me even the slightest control.”
“Why are you already thinking about that?”
“Because I committed something. Director, what should I do next? “I asked to meet with you today because I wanted to learn something.”
“······.”
Jung Joo-ho did not answer but touched his glass. Cheon Myeong-guk poured himself another drink and drank it down in one go.
“It’s a dirty story, but the incident happened and I saw bloody stool. They said it was caused by extreme stress. It was clean just three months ago. I, who had been healthy my whole life, became like this in one day. During my life as a hunter, I never despaired even when I was defeated by monsters and drifting alone in a foreign country. But now… I’m in a situation where I’m pooping. Phew!”
Jeong Joo-ho took the bottle from Cheon Myeong-guk’s hand and filled his glass. And when they raised their glasses and made a toast gesture, their glasses clinked.
After hesitating for a moment, Joo-ho Jeong made up his mind and spoke with a determined face.
“Chief. “It’s been a while since I lost my hair because of that guy.”
“Such a terrible thing…”
“You have to accept it. I have already been certified as level 8 and have gained immunity from arrest. The more you try to control it, the more it jumps out. Fortunately, he has his own definition, so he doesn’t rush into every issue.”
“We need to figure that out.”
“But wouldn’t a predictable disaster be less stressful?”
“…What you meant was that you can only understand it, but you can’t stop it.”
“yes.”
I felt like I was a patient with a terminal diagnosis.
You have to prepare mentally, not prepare.
Cheon Myeong-guk shook his head.
“But if you get to know him, you can see how he moves. Sometimes, like beans growing in a drought, opinions are listened to. “I recommend you hold on until then.”
“Director… what kind of fight have you been fighting all this time?”
“I think preventing him from becoming a villain was the greatest achievement of my life.”
“I respect you. “For Director Jeong Joo-ho.”
“For Director Myung-Guk Cheon.”
The two, who shared the pain of blood loss and hair loss, became sworn brothers at a long-established bar.
*
As I spoke with Jong-yeop Oh, Jong-soo Oh went to work.
“Hello brother. “I will work hard to repay you so that the life saved thanks to you will not be wasted.”
“Come on. “It’s still a mess. Would you like to clean it up and install a computer program?”
“yes!”
After going outside for a while, Oh Jong-su cleaned up his desk and even installed a computer. And he even brought the documents that had been delivered to me.
“What should we do now?”
“Once I sort the documents, you can organize them. There are things to process on the same day, things to process within this week, things to process within this month, and things to reject. “It will be divided like this.”
“I will stay alert and work hard.”
“And the main job is sorting the communications that come to me.”
Starting with direct contact, email messengers, etc. If I didn’t filter it out myself, the National Security Bureau would be flooded with work, so I brought in Oh Jong-soo to resolve it on my behalf.
There’s nothing we can do if we don’t meet expectations, but if we do well, we’ll get another chance.
“I will do my best. uh? There are already a lot of invitations. There is also a special lecture meeting at a large guild with a special invitation from the Awakened Academy, a civil servant hunter training session…”
“You decide the importance of the issue.”
“Me?”
“I’ll just bear with it. “Your decision will not be reflected as is, so think of it as gaining experience.”
“yes!”
Just as Oh Jong-su was about to go to work, Jeong Joo-ho, who came to work late with a hungover face, called me.
“So what happened to the reporter?”
“We have ensured that justice is served.”
“Will I be punished?”
“Even if I don’t receive it, I won’t be able to show off like I used to.”
“Well, since you have been defined as a villain, if you stand out again… I would recommend that you just commit suicide. Anyway, that’s the end of it.”
“Because it was a taste. “I try not to go all the way.”
Actually, I don’t expect much punishment from the law. It would be more certain to make it impossible for it to live or die.
Some people think it is a private sanction, but I think differently.
Level 8 superhumans have the right to summary judgment. I just use this a little bit broadly and there is no problem.
“···Sometimes, I feel sad when I think about which end you are talking about. Please turn on your blinkers and come in. “Do you know how many people’s lives are being lost because of you?”
I was complaining that my hair was shrinking, but before I knew it, it had changed to longevity.
But Jung Joo-ho was the only one complaining like this. These days, even though he complains, he seems to be enjoying the situation.
I decided to understand that he was being harsh.
“I will try.”
“So what’s your next plan?”
“Now that my level has been recognized, I plan to achieve results that will leave an impression that I am a superhuman. “First, I plan to sort out which ones I will participate in among the various invitation schedules and official schedules that have come to me, and then subdue the organizations involved in the villain uprising in Incheon.”
“Oh oh! “You did that?”
“It also happened because of the league.”
“The above will like it. Yes, it would be nice if you could take care of something like that. ha ha ha! “Our National Defense Bureau will have your back, so run wild to your heart’s content.”
If it’s the National Protection Bureau, you can definitely leave it to them to clean up after themselves.
“thank you. But I guess you drank a lot yesterday.”
“It went well because there were people who shared similar pain. I’m fine, but that person was having a hard time, perhaps because the brakes came on while he was on a roll. That person was too bad. Tsk tsk!”
“I hope it heals well.”
“It’s probably impossible. “The cause of stress is going crazy.”
“That’s too bad.”
“It didn’t work. “I felt sorry for him later.”
I don’t know what’s going on, but Jeong Joo-ho looked at me and said. Because there are things in this world that are impossible to overcome. The best way to manage stress is to relax.
We decided to make a detailed plan if we were going to Incheon soon and then headed out.
As I was returning to my office, I saw Jeong Da-hyun lingering in front of the door. I took Dahyun Jeong and went into the office.
“I wanted to ask for advice.”
“say.”
“I’ve been feeling stagnant lately. Watching Yunhee improve, I also want to do well, but it’s not easy to keep track of things. “I want to ask my brother for advice.”
“Are you using your intuition in your daily life?”
“yes. “I try to keep it up 24 hours a day.”
“If you want to develop your intuition further, you have to develop it to a level of confidence. To do that, you need a variety of experiences. “What you need most now is practical experience.”
I have never seen a practice that brings as much enlightenment as practice.
I think that being careful not to get injured is actually a bit of a play. A battle where blood and flesh splatter and lives are exchanged is truly a place of enlightenment.
Most of the time, the other person’s blood and flesh were splashed more than my own.
“Practical experience.”
“To do that, it would be best to catch the villain. Low level villains are not allowed. A villain who can provide a similar level of tension would be good. “Level 6 is appropriate.”
“I guess I’ll have to look for it.”
“Intuition allows me to instinctively distinguish between enemies I can deal with and enemies I cannot. If we break this down further, we will be able to distinguish between villains who can win or lose depending on the situation. Once you’ve developed it to that point, you’re ready to open the path to the next step. “Can you do it?”
Dahyun Jeong has mainly been in charge of arresting villains in the city.
Arresting villains in the city is a job everyone wants, and even though the villains are not high level, they receive media spotlight.
Jeong Da-hyeon was steadily walking down a flowery path as the flower and icon of the National Protectorate. Meanwhile, I will train diligently and reach level 7 in the future.
I know that Dahyun Jeong will improve as time goes by. But I am not satisfied with that.
This job involves dealing with villains from outside the city. There are high-level villains who travel alone, there are villains who commit heinous crimes, and there are villains who push through numbers.
It is a task to build results in a place where you do not know where and what variables will emerge.
“I also need to catch a monster, so I can at least help you get out of the city with me.”
“I’ll try.”
“good.”
I cheered for Jeong Da-hyun, who strengthened her fighting spirit. If you walk around the outskirts, you’ll probably run into a few people.
*
Recently, Dahyun Jeong has been feeling thirsty.
Everyone around you is growing.
His friend Lee Se-hee is an awakened person who is not far behind him and has been very active in key positions in the Holy Guild, while Choi Jun-ho’s younger sister Choi Yoon-hee is achieving rapid growth by showing what a shining talent is.
And Choi Jun-ho.
A genius who was officially recognized as level 8 at the age of 25.
This man, who was once the second gunner, soared to a place where he could not be chased.
While watching the process, Dahyun Jeong realized her own shortcomings. If I had been more diligent and more fierce, I would have been in a higher position than I am now.
Being left behind is never a pleasant experience. So, I sought advice from Choi Jun-ho and tried to get ahead.
“If you want to stand by my side, I have to catch the villain.”
So Jeong Da-hyun left the city with Choi Jun-ho and looked for the villain.
*
“I thought I was going to die.”
Han Sang-min, a black agent from the External Cooperation Management Bureau, recently recovered from his injury and was able to return to the front line.
It was a difficult day due to injury. At the order of Director Yeom-cheol Yeom, I pretended to be a villain and collected information about them, but the experience that day was a terrible moment that I never want to experience again.
“That crazy guy is level 8, so should I be glad he survived?”
Han Sang-min shook his head, recalling the difficult moments of rehabilitation.
At the time, I thought I had been bitten by a mad dog and cursed, but now that I think about it, just being able to come back like this was a blessing.
Where on earth did a guy like that come from?
Even though I have lived both a civil servant hunter and a villain life, this was the first time I had seen this type of person.
Since he was away due to injury, he was unable to return to his original base. Han Sang-min planned to first stop by the black market and buy the necessary items, then contact the villain organizations and let them know that Blink’s Na Kyung-wook is alive and well.
After visiting the black market, he walked down a deserted road and was struck by a sense of discomfort. Last time, I was attacked by Choi Jun-ho and suffered a terrible fate.
“Deja vu? “I guess not.”
Would the precious body of a level 8 superhuman appear on the black market? I thought it was an overreaction and was about to leave. The sign of popularity coming from behind made me think and put me on alert.
“found. Level 6.”
“Are you Jeong Da-hyun?”
It was Jeong Da-hyun, the flower of the civil servant hunter who was more famous for her beauty than her genius talent.
Although she has a somewhat rigid personality, she is fair and has a great sense of justice. Why is she, who is called the light among civil servant hunters, here?
I understand that they mainly arrest villains who are operating secretly in the city?
Now she is giving off an eerie energy that gives off an eerie feeling.
It had the eyes of a predator looking at its prey.
“Level 6 Villain Blink Na Kyung-wook.”
“Huh? Now wait a minute!”
Han Sang-min became thoughtful as he saw Jeong Da-hyeon approaching with a sword.
*
Jeong Joo-ho was in a good mood after meeting Cheon Myeong-guk the day before.
Finally, someone who has tasted Choi Jun-ho has appeared. When I think about how I had to endure that shitty taste all by myself, I feel like all the old pain is going away.
“I hope you get better since you have bloody stool.”
But Choi Jun-ho’s taste is just beginning. How much will Cheon Myeong-guk be able to endure in the upcoming Choi Jun-ho-style storm wave?
I never thought I would be so thankful to be able to stand aside from the aftermath.
Now, if he gets into an accident, he’s not the one responsible. All you have to do is pretend to moderately apply the brakes from the side, add strength to the operation, and take responsibility for the results.
Still, since I decided to treat him as my older brother, I should at least give him some medicine that is good for bloody stool.
While I was smiling with the thought that it was just me, my smartphone rang loudly. It was a call from Yeom Ki-cheol, director of the External Cooperation Management Bureau, a friend and enemy.
“What’s going on?”
-Hey you crazy bastard!
“Why is this happening all of a sudden? “Did you and your wife fight yesterday?”
– Yikes! This crazy bastard seriously injures Han Sang-min as soon as he returns! You said you were sent on a mission today, you crazy bastard!
“What are you talking about?”
-Load management is no longer possible? uh? Your subordinate seriously injured Sangmin! It takes a year to come back!
Hearing Yeom Ki-cheol’s voice, which was starting to catch his ear, Jeong Joo-ho realized that the situation was not unusual.
But Jung Joo-ho was innocent. Choi Jun-ho, who has a 99.99% chance of causing an accident, knows Han Sang-min’s face. Although he is a villain, there is no way he will mess with him anymore than he has infiltrated for an operation.
Above all, Choi Jun-ho is no longer his subordinate.
“You didn’t make a mistake, right? There’s no way Choi Jun-ho will touch you again. And you must be mistaken, but Choi Jun-ho has established a cooperative relationship with the National Defense Bureau and is not my subordinate.”
-It’s not Choi Jun-ho.
“then?”
-Dahyun Jeong.
“who?”
-Your nephew Jeong Da-hyun turned Sang-min into a half-asshole! You crazy bastard!
“Oh, I guess not. “Probably not.”
-Are you sure it’s not real? really?
For a moment, I felt like my bones were being extinguished. Jeong Da-hyun’s own nephew. He has been famous as a genius since childhood, and has done his work well with upright beliefs and a just personality.
Jung Joo-ho had no doubt that she would become a hunter who would shine in Korea.
I believed that even if he was influenced by Choi Jun-ho, he would use it as nourishment to break his own limitations.
no. Jeong Da-hyun can’t do that. But why can’t she say no to Yeom Ki-cheol firmly?
After thinking that far, Jeong Joo-ho was startled, pulling out his hair without realizing it.
“Oh, no!”
