The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 67

Episode 67

Lee Se-hee greeted Jeong Da-hyun, who suddenly contacted her and came to visit, with a surprised expression.

“What happened here? Do you have any concerns? Should I bring some wine?”

“No, I just came because I wanted to ask you something.”

“What?”

Looking at Jeong Da-hyeon’s stiff face, Lee Se-hee immediately grasped the situation.

“The atmosphere is unusual there these days, isn’t it?”

“Did you know?”

“I guess Junho didn’t tell you? You only told me. “What should I do with this?”

“······.”

Lee Se-hee, who saw a ghost for a moment, hastily apologized.

“I’m sorry. So stop staring. My face is going to get pierced. I’ll tell you right away. huh? “Please let me speak.”

“Say it quickly.”

Where did my friend, who was so full of teasing, go?

Nowadays there are absolutely no ghosts. If I told you that Rakshasa looks good on you, it would be the end, right?

Lee Se-hee sighed deeply and said.

“The government and Busan City are about to clash.”

“···also.”

“There were rumors going around there too?”

“huh.”

“The government doesn’t want the general public to know. The fact that there was no mention of it in the National Security Agency probably means that it will be handled as quietly as possible. Probably only Junho and a very small number of people from the Blue House will come forward. “You know somehow, right?”

“know.”

The Blue House was the one that maintained security when conducting certain operations.

This happened because there were more people who acted as straws with ties to the guild than as public servant hunters who truly had faith and did their work.

In fact, what’s lingering in Jeong Da-hyun’s mind is a different thought.

Why did he tell Lee Se-hee but not himself?

“Are you thinking…?”

“······.”

Both then and now, Lee Se-hee is a ghost. Jeong Da-hyun said yes in silence.

“I would like to say that he secretly told me only, but in reality, it is not like special treatment. Junho told me this because he wanted our group to not be tangled up with the mayor of Busan. Dahyun, you are clean that way, so there was no need to say anything. Are you feeling better now?”

“I wasn’t particularly worried.”

But I couldn’t help but feel relieved and my expression relaxed.

“You worry so much and then pretend not to.”

“Have you been stressed out lately?”

“Tinana?”

“Yes, it seems like a lot has accumulated. “There’s a lot of bone in the horse.”

“Ah, it’s still like this. “It shouldn’t be like this.”

Lee Se-hee gathered her eyebrows and ruffled her hair. It was like a habit, and I tried to get rid of it for a long time, but it just wouldn’t go away.

In the past, it was even worse, to the point where there was a collection of Lee Se-hee’s unsophisticated murders.

“Is it because of the Big Bang series? “Performance is very good.”

“really? ah! Last time, Junho said he would bring us the National Defense Bureau. “While you’re here, please tell me your review.”

“huh.”

Sehee Lee listened to Dahyun Jeong’s review of the Big Bang series for a while.

Reviews from people who have used it on the front lines are very helpful in improving products.

Because the Big Bang series has high output, special attention must be paid to power control, and a guide to fully control the power was essential.

“It’s listed as a point for improvement, so I’ll go over it one more time. After all, it’s good to have friends, right?”

“The person who didn’t take care of the Big Bang series for that friend was the head of Shinsung Guild.”

“I postponed it because Junho said he would take care of it. Could it be that I have forgotten our Jeong Da-hyun?”

“Still, I’m glad Junho oppa took care of me.”

This time, Lee Se-hee’s expression changed suddenly. I thought I had just heard something wrong, but seeing Jeong Da-hyun’s slightly curled mouth made me confident that it was not something in vain.

“What did you say just now? brother?”

“We’ve finished talking and I’ll be leaving soon.”

“for a moment! “Why aren’t you answering what I say?”

“······.”

Instead of answering, Dahyun Jeong smiled. In Lee Se-hee’s view, it was a smile that a winner shows to a loser.

“I’m going.”

“hey! Dahyun Jeong!”

* * *

The day came when Cheon Myeong-guk went to Busan.

This is a business trip that you may not be able to return from.

I wondered if I had to risk my life to go, but I was impressed by the willingness to sacrifice for the sake of not missing out on even one possibility.

Of course, I didn’t sympathize.

“Coming back healthy is the top priority.”

“Thank you for your concern, Superhuman.”

“But the mayor of Busan didn’t seem like he would listen to others.”

Busan Mayor Yoo Seong-su is a typical man who lives with his own taste. Looking at his work so far, not only did he have a low understanding of the Awakened, but he also had a strong tendency to think of them as tools for his own ambitions.

When I saw people boasting about their success, I automatically thought, ‘I was lucky.’

Cheon Myeong-guk laughed bitterly.

“Honestly, I think the same thing.”

“Then there’s no reason to bet on low odds.”

“It’s an effort to avoid seeing blood.”

Why are you emphasizing this while looking at me?

It’s natural to take responsibility for your own choices.

From what I see, most people know the taste after trying it with poop or soybean paste. There were very few people who changed their minds after hearing what was going on around them. Most people came to their senses only after tasting it.

The reason he risked his life in this case was to save as many lives as possible.

“There is no peace without blood.”

If each person has power and has different ideas, the only way to resolve the issue is to confirm the superiority of power and force it to be implemented.

“I just try to see as little as possible. “Sometimes it’s too much.”

“It sounds like you’re telling me to listen.”

“Me? “Not at all.”

“Maybe it’s my imagination. Anyway, the most important thing is life. Don’t sacrifice yourself for others. “I also take good care of the ring.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s abilities have been proven since his last life. If you go out and end up dying, you may end up having to join forces with some strange guy.

So, could it be that the compatibility that has been good so far becomes the worst?

I didn’t really want that kind of development.

“I will take good care of the ring. And thank you for your concern.”

“There is no one who is a good fit for the job like Director Cheon. This is called a favorite, right? “My two favorites are Director Cheon and Director Jeong.”

“······.”

“Is it true?”

“···yes. Thank you for caring me.”

My voice suddenly drops. Well, at least they called me my favorite.

“I have some more preparations to make, so I’ll leave now.”

Is it because I have two favorites? Director Cheon Myeong-guk is surprisingly greedy.

* * *

The president burst into laughter after hearing my complaint.

“It will probably be more difficult for Director Cheon to deal with you than to persuade Yoo Seong-su in Busan.”

“Oh no way.”

“We need to hear Director Cheon’s story about this as well.”

How well do me and Cheon Myeong-guk fit together?

The combination of Cheon Myeong-guk, who solved the problems one by one with an indifferent expression, and me, who took immediate action, was better than I could have imagined.

Joo-ho Jeong and Myeong-guk Cheon feel so comfortable working with me. Is this like a practical joke from their boss?

“Anyway, Director Cheon must be in danger.”

“It would be dangerous. He is classified as one of my close associates, but Yoo Seong-su will not let go of Director Cheon, who has walked on his own feet. “Even if you do well, you will be arrested.”

“Are you going there knowing it’s a trap?”

“That’s why I stopped it. “But Director Cheon knew that if he was caught, even that would be justification.”

“It’s a cause.”

It was a similar category to what Sehee Lee told me about experts. It must be a process to give legitimacy to the government’s actions by having Director Cheon caught.

But even though it was a trap, he walked on his own feet. If he dies, I honestly think it would be a dog’s death, but there is no need to say it out loud and belittle Cheon Myeong-guk’s spirit of sacrifice.

“Director Cheon has always taken the lead in taking action when things are bad.”

“All right.”

“huh?”

“Don’t you want Director Cheon to get hurt as little as possible? “Let’s take care.”

The president raised his hands and expressed his intention to surrender.

“I can’t stand it. That’s correct. Director Cheon still has a lot of work to do.”

“I know. “I have a sense of humor too.”

But I don’t know why people around me keep saying I don’t have any sense.

Anyway, it’s in the middle of enemy territory.

Bringing them back safely is never easy. Still, since I’m level 7, I’ll take care of it as long as I can take care of myself.

“But what do you plan to do?”

“I’m also planning to go to Busan.”

“when?”

“Right now.”

I followed Cheon Myeong-guk down to Busan.

* * *

Upon arriving in Busan, Cheon Myeong-guk habitually looked around.

It was of a size worthy of the second largest city in Korea. However, although there was a sense of controlled vitality, the entire city was rigid.

“They are preparing for war.”

Although it was pretending to be a normal day, there was a sense of war everywhere in the city.

The line between the awakened people wandering around each building was unclear as to whether they were hunters or villains, and the movement of citizens was slowed down.

‘not good.’

Yoo Seong-su said that he helped build Busan’s economy, but in Cheon Myeong-guk’s view, that was not the case at all.

It was filled with all kinds of corruption and condescension, so it was almost like a flashing flash of light. Like it or not, Yoo Seong-su’s reign must come to an end.

Meanwhile, the car he was riding in got closer to Busan City Hall. The more I did it, the more I felt the hostility becoming clearer.

I left the Shinigami Guild and took on a key position in the government, but it has been a long time since I faced this kind of hostility.

The ultimate goal is regime change, so I thought it would be at a reasonable level, but I never thought it would be this blatant.

At that time, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of Busan City Hall.

“We will take care of you.”

Hunters surrounded Cheon Myeong-guk, who got out of the car. The words were guides and escorts, but in reality, it was closer to being dragged along.

“egg plant.”

When we arrived at the entrance to City Hall, hunters armed with firearms and swords were standing guard. Before going inside, we inspected our belongings.

“Please return any weapons or artifacts.”

Cheon Myeong-guk took out a dagger and a healing agent from his chest. I thought it would end like this, but one of the hunters pointed to Cheon Myeong-guk’s ring.

“What is that ring? “I can feel the force.”

“It’s a wedding ring. Should I return this too?”

“You must return all items that have a Force feel to them.”

“It’s my long-gone wife’s ring.”

The hunter was conflicted, but then nodded.

“…I won’t be able to do anything with it, so I’ll turn a blind eye.”

For your information, my wife, who went away, was in the United States. It’s not a lie.

After completing the body search, I went inside. When we arrived at the mayor’s office, Yoo Seong-su and about a dozen hunters were inside the office, which was decorated as well as the Blue House.

“Isn’t this Director Cheon, who is famous for doing his job well? Very nice to meet you.”

“It’s been a while, Mayor.”

“It’s been a while. We have a good relationship even though we don’t see each other often. But looking at what’s going on now, it looks like it’s hard to have a good relationship, right?”

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk neither confirmed nor denied it.

“So, shall we hear why you came here?”

“Any further resistance is meaningless. I encourage you to acknowledge your suspicions and turn yourself in, even now. “We will treat you as leniently as possible.”

Yoo Seong-su, who was listening, burst into laughter. Cheon Myeong-guk watched calmly without changing his expression.

“Did you really come this far just to say that? huh? Are you trying to convince me?”

“you’re right.”

“You have great confidence. It’s really amazing! “In the end, isn’t it all about taking everything without giving up anything?”

“As I said before, please be as lenient as possible…”

“Okay, so what is the source of that confidence? “I’m really curious.”

“This is Junho Choi.”

“You really believe in a superhuman and show that confidence?”

At those words, Cheon Myeong-guk realized why the situation had to turn out this way.

Seongsu Yoo has no idea the extent of superhuman power.

When evaluating by level, it was clear that they were thinking about going from level 6 to level 7 and from level 7 to level 8.

In particular, they do not know how big of a disaster Choi Jun-ho is.

If he were the mayor of Busan, he would have fallen flat on his face right away.

“···The mayor is overlooking the power of superhumans.”

“It’s not scary. But what are you going to do with it? Right now, there are over a thousand awakened people in this city hall alone. “No matter how strong a superhuman is, he is still human in the end.”

The more corpses there are in front of Choi Jun-ho, the more corpses there are.

“So you want to go all the way?”

“You can’t do that. Because I’m a benevolent mayor. So let me give you a chance. “An opportunity to persuade the citizens of Busan.”

“If it’s an opportunity…”

“We’re going to broadcast. “How about a final discussion between the Busan City Council, including the mayor of Busan, and the Blue House special envoy, the Awakened Security Office?”

It seems like you’re going to have fun cooking.

Cheon Myeong-guk nodded while looking at the darkly shining gaze of Yoo Seong-su.

“I will accept it.”

“good. “That’s great judgment.”

An hour later, Cheon Myeong-guk was sitting in the Busan City Council.

Seongsu Yoo and 10 Busan city council members assisting him were seated in the Busan City Council.

The original 47 city council members were replaced by 10 city council members who were unilaterally appointed when Yoo Seong-su was elected. People who were sarcastic about this despised it, calling it Yoo Seong-su’s ten poems.

However, it cannot be denied that it is Yoo Seong-su’s strongest personal force in Busan.

“From now on, we will begin the final discussion between the Blue House Awakened Security Office Director and Busan City.”

The discussion began with a shout from the moderator. Cheon Myeong-guk clicked his tongue when he saw the broadcast camera rolling.

The other side was also well prepared. The intention may be to highlight the conflict and rally supporters. It was a dirty trick that I had no choice but to get involved in, even though I knew it.

The person who got the right to speak first and stood up was a large, dark-skinned middle-aged man with a close-shaven head.

It was Kwak Do-woon, the younger brother of the master of the Whale Guild, the largest in Busan City, and Yoo Seong-su’s right-hand man.

“This is Busan City Chairman Kwak Do-woon. “I am curious as to why the government has continued to ignore Busan City’s requests and is persecuting them like this.”

“The government has never persecuted Busan City.”

“Have you ever been persecuted? “The city of Busan has been requesting support all along, but wasn’t it the government that rejected them all?”

“It was distributed according to the incident rate…”

“therefore! “You mean the government decides the ratio arbitrarily?”

Kwak Do-un’s words became increasingly harsh. Then other city council members also raised their voices and put pressure on Cheon Myeong-guk.

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk closed his mouth in an atmosphere of unilateral push without disclosing data. If I present concrete data here and refute it, will it really be convincing? Were you brought here in the first place for the purpose of turning things around?

When I thought about it that way, I felt like my efforts were futile.

From the beginning, the opponent was trying to see the end from the beginning.

Should we hold back in order to avoid shedding blood, or should we let citizens know the truth?

The former allowed negotiations to continue, but the latter meant catastrophe.

While Cheon Myeong-guk was worrying, the city council members began talking among themselves. They raised their voices against the government’s usual unfair treatment, one-sided extortion, and discrimination.

Later, they did not even listen to the answer and gave their own answers.

“Seeing as there is no answer, I think the government is acknowledging that it has been discriminating against Busan.”

“I am······.”

It was when Cheon Myeong-guk, who could no longer hold it in, was about to open his mouth.

Light sparkled on the ring on his hand, and the shape of a seal was created with particles of light.

After a while, when the light completely disappeared, a familiar face appeared in front of them. It was Choi Jun-ho’s gift transfer.

Only then did Cheon Myeong-guk realize why the ring was given to him, and his eyes opened wide.

“Choi Jun-ho is a superman.”

“Director, why can’t you say that there is no discrimination if there is no discrimination?”

Choi Jun-ho smiled, but Cheon Myeong-guk’s heart sank.

It’s over. They are all dead now.

“Why are you here?”

Kwak Do-un I don’t know why that crazy guy is messing with the real crazy guy.

Choi Jun-ho smiles brightly. Why can I see the scene that is about to unfold? Did I get the gift of seeing the future?

“That guy in particular is so unlucky.”

“dare······.”

Kwak Do-un, who was furious, could no longer speak. Choi Jun-ho, who pulled out Nuri like lightning, cast a storm of blades. Kwak Do-woon, trapped in the fiercely swirling force, was torn apart without even leaving a body behind.

Patter.

Blood and chunks of flesh splashing everywhere.

Choi Jun-ho smiled brightly as he made eye contact with Gusoo-si, who had disappeared from the Tensangsi.

“Now, let’s start the game. It’s a fun game where only I die if you don’t answer my questions, one by one.”
