The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 218

Episode 218

“The vanguard unit that was trying to stop us has been annihilated! Monsters have entered the city. The entire southern force that could block the monsters has been destroyed!”

“….”

“Western Power is leaving the front!”

“Eastern Power is also requesting a retreat!”

“I need you to give me orders right away! Otherwise, the battle line will collapse!”

The faces of the Northern Army leadership became thoughtful as reports came in from time to time.

The strength of the 9A monster world’s official name Plus Plus stage monsters that appeared in Beijing was beyond imagination.

All border networks prepared by the Northern Army were neutralized. No, it was correct to say that there was no delay in the journey at all. The awakened men of the Northern Army, who were overwhelming the Southern Army, felt primal fear from the 9A monster.

It was truly a walking disaster.

“….”

Yu Hao felt infinitely shabby in front of that monster.

“You must step down.”

“Where?”

“Anywhere!”

“The moment we abandon this place, our future disappears.”

“So you’re willing to give up everything?”

“….”

Yu Hao was speechless due to Li Zhenhuo’s urging.

It was revealed that the Northern Army could not stop the 9A monster. As long as the war with the Confederacy is not over, we must preserve our military power to plan for the future.

So what about the 15 million citizens left in Beijing?

If this place was abandoned, it meant that all of its people would have to be thrown as food to the monsters.

Although he is from an ethnic minority, Yu Hao has sacrificed everything for the glory of China. I had no doubt that he would sacrifice everything for the people, even though he only loathed the leadership of the party.

However, in front of the 9A monster, he was just a frightened, shabby awakened person.

“We Hao!”

“I go and buy time….”

“Buy time against that monster? That’s just dog death! Wei hao! Remember, we have bigger things to do! “We have too much at stake to give up our lives for your meager sense of justice!”

Wei Hao couldn’t say anything to Li Zhenhuo, who shouted as if he was going to grab him by the collar at any moment.

He was right. If he dies, the Northern Army leadership will scatter like grains of sand. The party must have sent the monster here with that intention.

To keep 15 million citizens hostage to watch his choices. If you try to protect your citizens, you will be killed, and if you abandon them and run away, you will be ridiculed, criticized, and despised for the rest of your life.

The moment I came in excited because I was leaving Beijing, I fell into a trap prepared by the party.

It was easy to throw away one’s life as a mere superhuman, but as the number of people who followed him increased, his life no longer belonged to him.

“This too might just be an excuse.”

Power is a monster that changes people. He, who was ready to throw away his life like a straw, has become someone who is desperate to preserve his life in the name of a great cause.

What is the difference between him and the high-ranking figures in the party he most hated?

Yu Hao closed his eyes, fighting back the nausea that came flooding in. It is a compromise with reality.

“…egg plant.”

“Everyone step down.”

With Li Zhenhuo’s shout, the Northern Army leadership quickly escaped from Zhongnanhai and withdrew north.

The city was in chaos. At the point when they realized that the Northern Army had failed to stop the monsters, the citizens were each packing their bags and trying to survive.

It felt like everyone was blaming themselves even though they knew they were out of their minds.

“….”

Just as he was leaving Beijing, Yu Hao’s superhuman vision caught the sight of a monster.

The size of the pangolin-shaped monster was over 30 meters, and a purple haze was surrounding the monster.

When a monster destroys a city, it doesn’t mean it kills everyone in the city. This refers to a situation where the city’s defense function is neutralized and monsters can no longer be restrained.

In this case, the city is destroyed, but many of its citizens are safe.

However, the 9A monster that appeared now went beyond that common sense.

────!

The moment the howling spread out around the area with terrifying force, the space itself began to twist. The moment a crack appeared in space along with the feeling that the axis of the world had shifted, the purple fog that swirled around the monster covered the city at a furious speed.

Pasasasa!

The entire visible space was covered in purple fog. And, unable to withstand, it corroded and fell to pieces. Can people survive there? It was hard to imagine how many people would have died there.

“I have to go.”

Yu Hao could barely take his eyes off Li Zhenhuo’s touch. Even though I turned my head, I felt like the monster was staring at me.

Who can deal with that ‘disaster’?

Distant despair covered Yu Hao.

* * *

I still disapproved of the dog.

Even so, a monster can’t be cruel.

After all, if it’s a monster, shouldn’t it show its ferocious appearance? In that respect, the doggo was less aggressive than most awakened people.

however.

I realized I was overlooking one thing about dogs.

This guy specializes in survival.

The dog seemed to have felt that the eyes on him were not kind recently, so it moved around diligently and tried to carry out my commands perfectly.

It was an action that was strictly in accordance with my will rather than being voluntary.

“Does survival instinct overcome inclination?”

[Because I have to live to see it first. [The only thing I gain from meeting a scary master is perception.]

If I struggle to survive and improve, it doesn’t matter to me.

Is this really going to change? Even your inclinations can be changed in order to survive.

“I’m saying there’s no need to open up your evil voice.”

[You just have to listen carefully, right? That’s it, regardless of instinct or reason.]

“That’s right.”

I shouted at the dog that was searching for other monsters with its nose in the ground.

“let’s go!”

bruise!

The hunting results were quite good.

When I returned to Seoul, I met Jin Se-jeong.

When I talk to Jin Se-jeong, I am always amazed. I was able to point out something I had never thought of and turn it into a great opportunity.

Why did such a talented person quit his job?

“I was just a little tired. “It’s like politics.”

I once again thought that the idol world that made Jin Se-jeong leave was amazing.

“It’s fun now. “I realized that this kind of integration is possible even if the field is different.”

Today I heard a long speech about doggy dogs.

“A dog is a great way to raise your image as a superman!”

Did you even hear it from Lee Se-hee? He started telling me about the advantages of dogs.

Although the dog was a bit unwieldy in size, it was still young, so it had an innocent appearance. Although he is big in human terms, he has a cute face.

“The story of Choin saving a dog from being almost eaten by a predator and the dog struggling to repay the favor to Choin is deeply moving on people. “The adept was given a warmth that never existed before.”

“It’s not really warm.”

“Even so, there’s no reason to stand up and say that’s not true, right?”

That’s not wrong either.

As I nodded, Jin Se-jeong lined up things that can be used to create an image as a dog.

I didn’t know, but they are even selling goods. Was the dog cute enough to appeal to people?

“In reality, monsters of that size are rare. Cute monsters are also rare. There are almost no tamed monsters. “When several uncommon elements overlap, it is bound to be special.”

These are all elements that I didn’t care about.

“All right. “We will do our best to educate the dog.”

“yes? Ah yes! thank god. And…”

At that time, a loud emergency bell sound rang from the smartphone. It wasn’t just me, it was the same with Jin Se-jeong’s smartphone. Usually, this happens in a disaster such as an emergency evacuation situation, but I was wondering something.

Jin Se-jeong’s voice cracked as she unlocked her smartphone before me.

“Beijing disappears…?”

The capital of China, home to 15 million people, disappeared? It is a place that maintained its former glory even as countless people died due to the appearance of monsters.

I heard a while ago that the northern army had taken over, but it was an unexpected story.

Jin Se-jeong shouted with a thoughtful face.

“It’s a monster attack! For the first time in the world, Plus Plus monsters attacked Beijing!”

“It’s a two-horned monster.”

It appeared much earlier than I thought. Yongyong, who was quietly listening, also spoke with an expression of disbelief.

[How on earth did you appear? That thing can’t appear normally.]

You have to obtain at least something from a divine beast to make it appear.

Yongyong is underestimating this man’s potential. If Japan created the essence of an artificial divine beast, it is also possible for China to create a two-horned monster.

[Humans do that?]

There may be flaws, but imitation is possible.

[How do you know that?]

There is no reason to say that I saw it from the future.

I looked at Jin Se-jeong, letting go of Yong-yong’s curious words.

“Beijing’s disappearance means it cannot stop it on its own.”

“That’s right. “Then the only thing you can do at that point is to ask the Adept for salvation!”

“I guess so.”

The courtship will probably be quite desperate.

Since our territory is close to Beijing, we will have to take action.

In times like this, going north might not help.

I spoke to Jin Se-jeong, who was deep in thought.

“Team leader, there is work to be done.”

“Yes, please say so.”

“The appearance of this two-horned monster will be different from dealing with existing monsters.”

Why do we say that Beijing is disappearing instead of being destroyed?

That’s because the two-horned monster can kill all the humans in the city in a short period of time.

A monster that can literally bring about the end. How could the guys who created it and released it into the world think it was pretty?

Even if the Northern soldiers were different, it was clear that people in that country would do similar things with similar mindsets in the same situation.

The only thing that could be drastically different would be the hematoma and me.

“I will ask for your help to deal with this monster.”

“yes.”

“It will be very expensive.”

“….”

“Team leader, you just need to think of a way for me to move at the most expensive price.”

Jin Se-jeong was shocked.

I think I said it correctly, but did you not understand it correctly?

“Is it expensive? But if we negotiate, more people will die…”

“Wouldn’t it be more expensive then?”

[Wow!]

“….”

“Can I leave this part to the team leader? “It doesn’t matter if you say you can’t do it.”

I waited for the silent Jin Se-jeong to answer. It doesn’t matter what choice you make. Even if something like this doesn’t happen, the fact that you are a helpful person to me doesn’t change.

“If the decision is difficult, you can give up.”

“What if I do it?”

“I will try to reflect the team leader’s opinion as much as possible.”

“Ah…”

“Would you like to try?”

“I’ll think about it first.”

“You can give up at any time.”

“…yes.”

Jin Se-jeong’s voice as she answered was weak.

* * *

When Choi Jun-ho went out and she was left alone, Jin Se-jeong collapsed.

I had known for a long time that the person I was dealing with was an unusual person. Headbreaker, the world’s greatest genius, the world’s strongest awakener, etc. The term “global” suited Choi Jun-ho better than anyone else.

It was fun to assist him in creating his image and take the lead in the midst of various noble circles and factions. The working environment and salary were unprecedented, and meeting a powerful person gave me a high level of satisfaction.

But it wasn’t the same situation as it is now.

“….”

Jin Se-jeong looked at the smartphone screen with trembling hands.

The news of the appearance of a plus-plus level monster and the words of Beijing’s disappearance were deeply embedded in my mind.

What is scary when monsters invade a city is that they neutralize the city’s defense capabilities. This allows the second and third attacks by monsters.

Citizens are exposed defenseless in front of him without any protection.

Jin Se-jeong has seen a city being trampled by monsters. Lately, awakened people came and hunted the monsters, but countless people died in a short period of time.

Then I realized. People like yourself who have no power are nothing but expendables who die helplessly the moment those with power hesitate for a moment.

Perhaps Beijing is in the same situation he saw.

However, Choi Jun-ho talked about the high price.

Raising the ransom is simple. All you have to do is make the other person suffer more.

Here, more sorrow means more cities in China are destroyed and more people die.

You create this by your own decision?

What about the countless people who will die in the meantime?

This was Choi Jun-ho’s test. If you give up, it will be easier, but you will no longer be able to be deeply involved in future matters with Choi Jun-ho.

Jin Se-jeong saw the smartphone screen shaking. No, it was her hands that were shaking.

“I…”

Jin Se-jeong closed her eyes tightly amidst the violently swirling emotions.
