The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 15

Episode 15

Jung Joo-ho revealed that he had been quietly tracking down the Eradicator.

The appearance of an unidentified level 8 villain.

It was a major crisis that could lead to the destruction of a nation.

After the mass evaporation of the villain organization Big Ten, Joo-ho Jeong said that he followed them through cooperation with the National Intelligence Service, but failed to find any traces.

But that doesn’t mean there were no results.

“Recently, information came in that an organization in Siheung-Gunpo was holding a meeting. And we captured the circumstances in which the information on the eraser was mentioned. The league was also mentioned here.”

“······!”

Everyone looked shocked.

Even Jeong Da-hyun.

Is it because of the expunger? Or because of the word league?

Jeong Joo-ho continued speaking without even having time to answer my questions.

“Combining what the two organizations said, they said they knew about the Eradicator. The two cities’ villain response teams will move first to check whether that is true and how much contact they have with the league. And we are.”

Jeong Joo-ho stopped speaking, looked around, and then spoke.

“We catch the erasers who will be led by the information.”

“Director, we can’t catch a level 8 villain.”

“I’m not telling you to catch them. In the first place, the likelihood of an expunger coming out is low. We are preparing for any emergency. “If the Eradicator appears, our level 8 hunters will move as well.”

Everyone’s expressions brightened at those words.

I felt absolute trust in the level 8 hunter from my colleagues.

Is level 8 really that great?

I was curious to what level it would be.

“Get everyone ready.”

With the answer, the National Protection Agency hunters began to move.

* * *

Starting with Jeong Joo-ho’s declaration, I learned in what form the erasers were being tracked.

The ultimate goal of the National Intelligence Service, which was chasing the traces of the eraser, was ‘appeasement’.

A level 8 villain is a walking disaster that can destroy an entire city if not dealt with early.

Even though they committed massacre, the people killed by the Eradicator are villains. There was the Deputy Mayor of Ansan among them, but the value of a level 8 awakened person was so high that even that could be ignored.

But even as time passed, no trace could be found. The last report was that it seemed to have literally evaporated.

Meanwhile, the word ‘League’ and the word ‘Eradicator’ appeared at the villain’s meeting.

It was the judgment of Jeong Joo-ho and the National Intelligence Service that the combination of the two words could shake up the order of the Republic of Korea.

“Someone might come forward after hearing their name being sold.”

Not very likely.

So, the villain response teams from Siheung City and Gunpo City came out to eliminate the villain organization, and Jeong Da-hyun was dispatched as a reserve force and liaison.

“When the Eradicator appears, never confront it head-on. “First contact us and then stay as far away as possible.”

That was our mission.

Many of the villains operating secretly inside the city were petty criminals, but clearing out villains in areas outside the city beyond the control of the state was akin to war.

In particular, they are big players in the black market, making money by distributing not only firearms but also monster hearts and various by-products.

The way to weaken the villain organization is to eliminate this black market. However, all kinds of interests are intertwined in the black market that was formed to avoid the law, making it difficult to control.

Wouldn’t it be okay to just ignorantly push it away? When I said that, Dahyun Jeong shook her head.

“I don’t know how much power will be gathered together in this power. Villains who are hostile to each other also obtain goods through the black market, so they will join forces to eliminate the black market. “It is an action that goes against the grand strategy of the National Defense Bureau.”

It divides them so that they cannot unite, creates distrust, and subdues them without harm.

That is the method of subduing villains advocated by the National Defense Bureau.

From that perspective, black market raids bring together forces rather than divide them.

However, I think it is the surest way to weaken the villain.

“If I am given sole operational authority, I want to do it. “I will do my best.”

“Am I not allowed to do that?”

“In order to do that, he needs to be promoted, but Mr. Junho has too many cases of excessive suppression, so he can’t be promoted…”

I definitely see why it doesn’t work.

Aside from that, two villain organizations are currently meeting on the border between Siheung City and Ansan City.

Although the expungement team and the league were mentioned, the reason for the meeting was the disappearance of the Ansan organization Big Ten.

Villains began to move to occupy Lee Kwon’s space.

Jeong Da-hyeon and I waited outside Siheung City.

“······.”

I was keeping an eye on what was going on.

I was concerned that they mentioned erasure at the meeting in Ansan.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple impersonation. When I was a hematologist, there were many people who committed crimes in my name. In the end, he was arrested or died by my hands.

But the problem was the evidence that could remain out of my reach.

I cleaned it up pretty hard.

I admit it honestly.

In the past, I was crazy and had no intention of hiding or erasing any traces. Occasionally, when I came back to my senses, I erased it, but it only slightly delayed the chase, and it was hard to say that I had reached an expert level. There might be traces left somewhere.

In the end, what I will do is decided. This is to check the information on the Eradicator who will be revealed at the Villain Meeting.

“Junho, do you think the Eradicator will appear?”

“I don’t think he will show up.”

“I think the same thing.”

I remembered that Jeong Da-hyun was in charge of conducting the scene at the time. Why does she think the Eradicator won’t show up?

“The expunger wants his identity not to be revealed. So, despite the inconvenience, I chose to ‘evaporate.’”

“······.”

“They probably killed them all. The body still hasn’t been found. He is a creepy, cruel and dangerous villain. “You must catch it.”

Seeing Jeong Da-hyun speaking with a stern expression reminded me of my past life.

What happens if it turns out that I am an eraser? Do you think I’m a villain? I didn’t want to find out and confirm it.

One thing became clear.

There is nothing good about the evidence of the expunger being revealed.

“The radio hasn’t come in since a while ago.”

“Iknow, right. “What happened?”

“I will go and see.”

“How about waiting a little longer?”

I shook my head.

“Time is money in mop-up operations. “We will go to the nearby area to take a look and contact you if anything goes wrong.”

“all right.”

After getting Dahyun Jeong’s consent, I opened the door and came out.

The cold air scratched my skin. It seemed like he was criticizing me for creating a false identity. I checked the radio as I headed to the meeting place.

Even though the promised time had passed, no contact was received and there was no response to this call.

Then, when we arrived near the factory, a radio call came.

As expected, a problem arose. The other person said he could not be contacted and asked for help in an urgent voice. I moved after seeing that the radio was dead.

When I arrived near the meeting place, a person covered in blood and torn arms approached me.

“Are you here for support? “My name is Kwak Young-sik, head of the Gunpo City Villain Response Team.”

“This is Choi Jun-ho of the Villain Task Force.”

“Are you here alone?”

“yes. “I came first because I couldn’t communicate with the liaison team.”

“ah!”

Kwak Young-sik must have felt a lack of power, so he looked gloomy.

“How are things going?”

“We were ambushed. There were twice as many villains hidden there as previously reported. “We fought hard, but more than 20 people died and 30 were taken prisoner.”

“Was there an Eradicator?”

“I didn’t see the Eradicator.”

“So it was a meeting of a large organization. “They were caught by the bait they threw and were wiped out.”

“yes.”

Kwak Young-sik bowed his head.

I said while watching him.

“Can you guide me?”

“You mean without going back?”

“First, I will check and report how many villains there are. “Please guide me.”

“···All right.”

Following the reluctant guidance of Kwak Young-sik, I arrived near the abandoned factory where the two villain organizations were located.

There was blood that had not yet dried on the cement floor, as if a fierce battle had taken place a while ago. More than ten people stood guard outside the factory.

“The rest is in there. The number will be over 50.”

“okay.”

“Would you like to go back now?”

My eyes and Kwak Young-sik’s eyes collided in the air.

Knowing the ‘anxiety’ that was always lingering behind his eyes, I took the first step.

“What is this…!”

Kwak Yeong-sik, who was shocked, tried to escape, but my hand touched his stomach first. The powerful mine pierced through my skin, turning my ribs and internal spine into a mess.

Unable to overcome the aftermath, Kwak Young-sik’s eyes trembled as he looked at the gaping ship.

“You betrayed and sold out your colleagues.”

“······!”

“Once you have been betrayed more than 10 times, you will see it all.”

Before he could hear my words to the end, Kwak Young-sik stopped breathing and fell to the floor.

I learned that the most common reason why civil servant hunters die from villains is when there is a traitor within them. Kwak Young-sik put on a nice appearance, but was unable to control the emotions that existed beyond his eyes.

Now the conditions are ready to move alone.

“That doesn’t work.”

I radioed Dahyun Jeong to secure time, but it didn’t work.

If I can’t contact them, I’ll suspect radio wave interference and take action.

That meant there wasn’t much time left.

The number of villains is about 50.

I am the only civil servant hunter.

This is a good situation for an unexpected accident to occur.

“I need to do this quickly.”

* * *

What surprised me the most when I became a civil servant hunter was that I considered the villain’s life to be more important than I thought.

To be precise, they did not like it when awakened people affiliated with the state were reported in the media for excessive suppression.

So, the best is to capture them alive, and the worst is to die or miss them during arrest, even if the worst is to injure them so that their lives are not in danger.

But there are exceptions everywhere.

During a secret operation, when it is judged that one’s own life is in danger, one is not reprimanded even if one kills the villain on the spot.

After becoming a civil servant hunter, I have yet to officially kill a villain.

So wouldn’t it be accepted that even if we kill all the villains here, it is inevitable self-defense?

Still, he went to great lengths to save the villains and arrest them.

Or not.

I had no intention of saving him from the beginning anyway.

After taking care of the villains at the entrance, I went inside and didn’t hesitate.

“Monster!”

The process was the same: at first they rushed in with excitement, but when more than ten people died, they became overcome with fear. But it couldn’t pass me by as I was occupying the direction of the entrance.

I believe in the word repentance. But almost everyone believes that repentance is impossible.

A miracle happened to me and I returned to the past before I committed my sins, but that opportunity is not given to others.

A villain is literally just a villain.

It is much more efficient to prevent accidents by killing them than to help society by keeping them alive. This is the conclusion I came to.

“I don’t have time. “Let’s finish.”

I approached, leaving only the bosses of the two organizations behind. As I approached them, shaking off the sticky blood, the two became thoughtful and retreated.

“Oh don’t come! “Do you know who is behind us?”

“The Eradicator is behind us.”

The Eradicator is in front of you now.

“Tell me what you know about the Eradicator. “If it’s useful, I’ll let you live.”

“I think I’ll tell you…”

Quad deuk!

I broke the heart of the guy whose mouth was still fluttering.

After pushing the crumbling corpse away with his feet, he habitually licked the blood from his hands and spat it out. Gift stamina boost? This is my first time seeing a trash gift like this.

I looked at the remaining boss.

“Actually, I’m not that curious. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything.”

“I will tell you everything. So save me!”

“say it.”

“Burr Berserker is after the Eradicator!”

A completely unexpected name popped up.

“Berserker?”

“Berserker said he had a way to get information about the Eradicator and told us to spread the rumor. He said that if the Eradicator appears, he will deal with it. “He said he wanted to see the Eradicator.”

“······.”

This is a trend I never expected.

Berserker and I meet for the first time 15 years after my last life.

I would have thought that bringing up the name of the Eradicator was Berserker’s intention.

All the puzzles were solved and there were no more questions.

“Thank you for telling me. “Then let’s finish it.”

“I know more! So save me.”

“Nope.”

“Ugh!”

This was when my hand reached over the head of the guy who had fallen on the floor and was crawling.

“Stop, Choi Jun-ho!”

With a heavy voice, Jung Joo-ho’s new brother came out and separated the boss. And I blocked my hand, where the aftereffects of power had not been resolved, with a sword sheath filled with strong power.

Qarring!

The mines became entangled and intense explosions occurred one after another. The blue force crumbled into lumps and turned the strewn corpses into a mess.

When I saw Jung Joo-ho’s face, I stepped back without using my hands anymore. My grip was quite numb.

I thought he was a smart snake, but his skills were also amazing.

“This guy knows information about the League and the Eradicator. I will take charge of this guy from now on. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, Director.”

I didn’t feel like using my hands any more, so I raised my arms up.

“You made quite a mess.”

Jeong Joo-ho sighed as he looked at the factory full of corpses with their heads broken.

I also helped with one arm.

Did you think it was fortunate that at least one person was saved?

It was really unfortunate.

puck!

“······.”
