The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 37

Episode 37

The Berserker guy got excited when the possibility of obtaining the Unstoppable Strike opened up.

“If only I had this, I would have a more heated battle with you…”

The guy who was smiling with a face tinged with madness was looking at me. Before I knew it, my eyes were filled with the spirit of victory.

Should we try it now?

I tried to tell him that if he attacked me, I would be willing to hang out with him. I had a thirst for everything.

But he came to his senses faster than I responded.

“…No, there is no reason to commit suicide now.”

···A ghost-like child.

Anyway, after settling the bill, Berserker packed his bags and said goodbye.

“Call me again if you need to. That little lamb has a lot of talent, and I’m willing to cooperate so that he can have a stellar moment. And unlike others, I seem to have quite a talent for teaching. “Kkkkkk!”

Am I weird if I think that the guy who benefited the most from today’s meeting was Berserker?

I shook off my thoughts and spoke to Jeong Da-hyun, who was staring blankly at Berserker’s camping car moving away.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

The two of us headed to Seoul.

“······.”

There wasn’t much conversation during the car ride. Dahyun Jeong seemed to have a lot to think about.

In my case, I had time to think about not killing everyone.

Saying that he wanted to steal it was actually a joke, and it was surprising that the eccentricities he had done so far were engraved in his blood, creating the possibility of opening a gift.

It would be nice if I had that same possibility in mind.

I couldn’t actually read the gift engraved in my blood. Why is that so?

Then a laugh came out.

Even though you have ten gifts, you are still being greedy.

Dahyun Jeong, who had come out of her thoughts as she entered Seoul, opened her mouth.

“Berserker was a more interesting person than I thought.”

“okay?”

In my opinion, he’s just crazy.

“It gave me an opportunity to think about villains again. If you look at him without any preconceived notions, he just seems like a pleasant person.”

“Because being a villain doesn’t mean being evil.”

There were various ways in which he became a villain, such as being influenced by people due to his surroundings, making a momentary mistake due to his family environment, etc.

However, even if he is not evil at first, the moment he becomes a villain, he is eventually tainted by evil. As long as the world doesn’t accept it, I, the Blood Clan, and Berserker are all evil.

I returned to the time before I became evil, but once you step into evil, it’s not easy to get out.

“At some point, I felt like the definition within me became ambiguous. “As it becomes more difficult to distinguish what is right and what is evil, I begin to wonder if this is right.”

“Trust what you see and feel. Because your standards are unwavering.”

“yes. and······.”

Dahyun Jeong seemed to have something she wanted to say.

“What?”

“How is dual gift possible?”

A dual gift literally refers to an awakened person with two gifts. This appears to be a very slim probability.

“It’s basically difficult. Because awakeners basically specialize in gifts. “If you awaken other gifts, their effectiveness will decrease.”

Therefore, few awakened people with dual gifts have reached a high level.

“Then your brother… no, you asked something pointless. sorry.”

“Because my case is different.”

I had ten gifts, but they were all specially made by ‘someone’.

To put it in a good way, it is copying. To put it in a bad way, it is robbery.

“For now, focus on making Level 7 sense yours. “If you just get a feel for it, you can climb right up.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Dahyun Jeong nodded, her eyes shining with determination.

* * *

This is what I felt when I saw Yoonhee, but I felt like the on/off switch was clear.

When he went to work at the Holy Guild, he did his best in everything, but at home, he was glued to the sofa as one.

Actually, I think I am very different from Yunhee. I feel like I’m always walking around with a switch on, but as I’m recognized as level 8 and the treatment around me changes, that seems to have gotten worse.

I am quite satisfied with my current situation. However, at this point, he is in the honeymoon period and is enjoying his position as a superhuman. Now, the duties I have to fulfill will begin to come.

The country invested enough money to use my power, and I agreed to it.

Although there may be push and pull in the transaction, I also had no intention of forcing unilateral losses on the other party.

Anyway, how do I roll that thing?

When I was thinking about getting rid of the guy who was stuck on the sofa, he noticed me like a ghost and shouted.

“Stop stop! “You were going to nag me right now, weren’t you?”

“Are you a ghost?”

Was it not indomitable as a gift and opened mind reading?

“In the first place, is there anyone who trains harder than me? His indomitability! Indomitable! “Why didn’t you just name the gift ‘Invincibility’?”

I picked up the Samgang Five Rings somewhere and wanted to pretend I knew.

Considering that, Yunhee’s resistance was stronger than expected.

It felt like it would explode if I touched it now, and I was curious to see how it exploded, but I gave up thinking when I saw the life flowing from its eyes.

“Have you looked for a nice house?”

“When I spoke to the office, they filled out a few conditions and immediately recommended it. “You just need to have the money ready.”

“It will be ready soon.”

“Some people prepare thoroughly and barely manage to hunt, while others just go for a walk and catch them. The world is so unfair.”

“If you want to be like me, just work hard.”

Instead, you have to live a pretty dynamic life.

But Yunhee, who had lost her sense of fun, asked me cautiously.

“But did you catch the monster by yourself?”

“Huh why?”

“No, just. “I thought there was no one saying anything around me.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“okay? “Then I’m glad.”

As she said that, Yunhee moved her body as if she had something to say to me, but she never opened her mouth.

What do you want to say?

The fact that Yunhee reacted like that meant that she really wanted to tell me, but felt uncomfortable saying it out loud.

I think it’s related to monsters, but I thought I’d ask later to set the mood.

“I’m going.”

“huh.”

Putting aside my doubts, I checked the time and went outside. I had an appointment with Lee Se-hee today.

There was an event for Shinsung Group today, so Lee Se-hee, who had prepared in advance, looked more glamorous than usual.

Since we met through work, we immediately started talking about work.

“The value of the heart of the monster given by Junho is far superior in terms of efficiency at the same level. “It was 3 times last time, but if we add a premium, it could go up to 5 times.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“yes. In that sense, how about doing business with us? “If you monopolize this crafting method even for a short time, you can make a lot of money.”

Lee Se-hee said that although the craftsmanship I learned is an advanced technology, the technology cannot be monopolized for a long time. So, the goal was to solidify the brand during the preceding time and become number one in the industry in the field of monster heart crafting.

“Not everyone can do this.”

“Yes, but all of our group’s craftsmen are top-notch.”

That being said, you have to have an innate sense for this. I don’t have that sense, so I activated it with an incredible amount of force.

There must also be assistance.

“First, let me introduce you to someone who can perform this technique better than me.”

“There is such a person? “Why didn’t I know until now?”

“Because it’s in the shade.”

“Ah, a dark black market….”

I told Lee Se-hee that I would soon bring the Heart Walker from my last life.

Since you taught me the technique, I will solve it by canceling my decision in this life. Even though he is a wealthy guy, if you listen to the scale that Lee Se-hee talks about, it seems like he can satisfy his greed.

When asked to continue talking about business later, he nodded while showing a hint of disappointment.

“And how about hunting monsters?”

“How do you feel?”

“I was wondering if there would be any difficulties.”

“I don’t have any?”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Is there any problem?”

I felt puzzled because it was a field I had never thought about before.

“No, there is none. I’m glad there’s no problem. “Shall we go then?”

Lee Se-hee pretended to be in a hurry and turned away from me. Earlier, both Yoonhee and Lee Sehee’s behavior felt suspicious.

Today, Shinsung Group opens the Shinsung Department Store Premium Gallery for the awakened.

I was also invited to this event and decided to escort Lee Se-hee.

“however······.”

“Do you have any problem?”

“Do you want a ride in my car? Hmm, it doesn’t matter.”

Would it be okay to wear hundreds of millions worth of jewelry and go in a compact car?

The hem of that loose-fitting dress might get caught.

Lee Se-hee said with an absurd expression.

“Of course I have to go to my car.”

* * *

Shinsung Department Store’s Awakened Gallery, led by Lee Se-hee, is a place where all the supplies needed for Awakened people are stocked.

Starting with the armor needed to deal with monsters, various types of weapons, recovery agents using the Force and condition recovery agents such as antidotes, as well as various disposable items and survival items are on display.

In addition, a store was opened to purchase the hearts and by-products of monsters, allowing awakened people to purchase the items they need in one place.

Among them, the highlight was the armor created in collaboration with luxury brand designers from around the world. It captures the attention of awakened women by combining practicality and beauty at the same time.

We are now in an era where fashion shows are held wearing armor.

Lee Se-hee, who appeared on behalf of Chairman Lee Young-moon, who recently refrained from going to the front line due to health issues, was the center of the event.

I stood next to him and looked at Lee Se-hee, who was enjoying the spotlight pouring in from all directions.

“how is it?”

“Everyone who has an awakened lover will come here?”

“answer. I was aiming for that. Performance has now been leveled upward. Then, competitiveness depends on how pretty it is.”

At least for female awakeners, this definitely works.

And just as good-looking rice cakes taste good, male awakeners also preferred nice-looking rice cakes, even if they were a little more expensive.

It was a time when there were 10 million aspiring hunters. The government wanted the public to regard awakened people with transcendental power as heroes rather than enemies. Because the power of the nation can become stronger only if more people become hunters.

Therefore, Hunter, a handsome and talented woman, was enjoying more popularity than most celebrities, and the design of equipment was becoming more important day by day.

If it were me, I wouldn’t stand out so much… This was the mindset of a villain on the run. Since I’m attracting attention as a level 8 superhuman, I also have to like flashy things.

Looking at it again, it seems pretty.

Lee Se-hee was also very good at interviewing and tactfully explained the activities of Shinsung Guild and what Shinsung Group aims for.

“huh?”

At that time, there was a murmur from one side, and a neatly dressed young man with a tall appearance approached. The man, whose entire body was adorned with luxury goods, looked to be in his late 20s and had a friendly smile, but had a sinister feel to it.

“It’s been a while, Sehee. How are you?”

“···Why is my brother here?”

The person who gave a friendly greeting was Lee Se-chan, Lee Se-hee’s older brother and the eldest son of Shinsung Group. And they were competing for the Shinsung Group.

“My younger brother has achieved such great results, so you should come.”

“Thank you for coming.”

It was a conversation between siblings, but it felt awkward. Lee Se-chan, who caught a glimpse of Lee Se-hee, looked at me and introduced her.

“Nice to meet you. “This is Se-hee’s older brother, Lee Se-chan.”

“This is Junho Choi.”

“Of course I know. “The youngest superman who is the talk of the town.”

The voice was somewhat ridiculed.

I held the hand that Se-chan Lee held out. I could see the veins on his hand bulging and he was giving strength. It was so strong that one could gently scratch it with one’s hand. I looked at his face to see what he was thinking, and his expression was bizarre.

“Our Sehee has no experience with men, so her eyes for seeing people are weak. There are a lot of men around who want to look good. They’re all pointless guys. Sehee lacks the ability to distinguish between them. “If you listen carefully to what you say, things will get better.”

This is what’s killing me right now.

Actually, I’m quick-witted.

“This team leader is the most resourceful person I have ever seen. People only see what they see, but people with a narrow perspective may not be able to understand people with big intentions. “It’s a clear difference in capabilities.”

Lee Se-chan’s expression distorts.

“Are you saying that to me?”

“It’s up to the listener to decide.”

“This half piece…”

Half? What do you mean?

Could this be a new nickname? I still don’t like Head Breaker or Eradicator. What is half? Is it because I folded it in half and threw it away?

I decided not to think too deeply.

“and.”

I put too much force on his hand, which was shaking, so I applied more light pressure.

“Turn it off!”

“People in high places are under the illusion that they will not suffer any harm. “I have a chronic illness, so every time I see an idiot like that, I feel the urge to trample him so he can understand his problem.”

If you apply a little more force here, Se-chan Lee’s hand will shatter. As I looked at my hand, which was maintaining its shape to the point where it was dangerous, I also felt that my strength control had improved.

“Would you like to take a look?”

“Hmph! “Inhale!”

Se-chan Lee managed to shake his head once. When I relaxed my hands, I stumbled and my legs gave out and I almost fell.

“Manager!”

“Let’s go back.”

People gathered around Lee Se-chan, surrounded him so as not to show his distraught appearance, and left the place.

By the way, it’s only half.

Lee Se-hee, who noticed that the atmosphere had become strange, approached.

“Junho, what happened?”

“not a big deal.”

I don’t know why people have to get hit to come to their senses. When a monster dies, it leaves behind a heart and by-products, but humans don’t even have that.

I glanced at Lee Se-hee with the camera shutter.

“The reporter over there is taking pictures. “The main character should shine brighter today.”

“yes.”

As soon as Lee Se-hee heard what I said, she naturally posed.

After the event, I met with Cheon Myeong-guk to report on the villain elimination.

He looked gaunt on the first day and wondered if there was something wrong with his health, but he soon recovered and was active.

“Starting from villain eradication operations to various events. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It was something I had to do.”

“However, foreign villains…”

I felt puzzled as I watched him trail off.

“Wasn’t it resolved?”

“There is a high possibility that it will cause headaches in many ways.”

“If you missed the right time to kill, how about issuing a citizen card and registering as a resident?”

“Citizenship card and resident registration?”

“Then they are our people.”

“…It’s a very attractive method.”

Cheon Myeong-guk muttered with an expression filled with admiration. I didn’t understand why they were worrying about how difficult this was.

“How was your day as a superhuman?”

“I am satisfied.”

“We also have a helicopter ready when we need to get out of the busy city.”

“It will be easier to dispatch to the operation area.”

“I’m just trying to give you what you need. And you, too, must play your role as a superhuman belonging to the Republic of Korea.”

Cheon Myeong-guk stopped talking and looked at me quietly. It’s a face that wants my answer.

“Of course I will play the role given to me.”

“thank you.”

“It’s a mutual exchange.”

“however······.”

I said to Cheon Myeong-guk, who hesitated as if he was troubled.

“You can tell me.”

“Actually, there have been some concerns recently regarding Mr. Choi Jun-ho.”

Concerned about me? Could it be that the Eradicator’s whereabouts have been revealed?

The only people who can guess its identity are Lee Se-hee and Berserker.

Berserker Is this guy talking about how I have a bad appetite?

“Superhumans belonging to the state protect state power from external and internal threats and protect citizens from threats from villains.”

“I know.”

“Last one here. Superhumans belonging to the nation must protect citizens from the threat of monsters.”

“······.”

Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me and said, I don’t know what the problem is.

Catching monsters is a natural thing.

“It is good to eliminate villain organizations and protect national power. However, when a nation-affiliated superhuman truly shines, it is when hunting monsters.”

He said that the reason large guilds grew to the point where they could even surpass state power was because of monster hunting.

Ultimately, it’s money. Because the by-product of monsters is money.

As they invest with that money and manufacture equipment as a by-product, their power grows.

But why are you saying this to me?

“Some people are talking about Superhuman Choi Jun-ho’s monster-hunting abilities.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s a half-superhuman who can’t hunt monsters…”

Is that why Lee Se-chan called me half-hearted earlier?

Thank goodness. I thought it was a strange nickname like Head Breaker or Eradicator.

Is that why Yunhee showed that attitude towards me?

Now I finally understand.

“Please tell me in detail.”

“···It’s just a rumor going around behind the scenes. “I hope you don’t mind.”

“yes.”

What followed was literally an absurd fabrication.

I became a level 8 superhuman, but my only experience was catching low-level villains, and my greatest achievement was eliminating puppet masters, but puppet masters were famous for being immortal and their combat power was only low.

In particular, the reason I don’t go out to hunt monsters is because I suffer from ‘monster phobia’, and the government has signed a personal protection contract to catch superhumans who can’t even hunt monsters.

The proof is that they don’t go out to hunt monsters.

Officially, I have never gone on a monster hunt.

Cheon Myeong-guk watched me carefully.

“If there is a secret to not being able to hunt monsters, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. We will do our best to help.”

I think this guy also thinks there is a reason I am hiding.

I just feel absurd.

When I was a blood race, they exaggerated that I would destroy the world, but now they treat me like a half-hearted person who can’t even properly kill a monster.

I just laughed.

“I will prove it soon.”

Having lived in the past, I remember.

A month later, the 8th monster, ‘Nuri’, appears in Seoul. Then everything will become clear.

Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression brightens a little at my words.

“And Chief.”

“yes.”

“Can you make a list of the people who said that now and give it to me when I catch the monster?”

“······.”

“I’m just curious. “I’m curious. I’ll just take a look.”

“······.”

It doesn’t look like he believes it at all.
