The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 6

episode 6,

I adjusted to the team smoothly without any special events.

Jeong Da-hyun, who claimed to be my gunner, gave me detailed information on what a civil servant hunter should do.

As with all tasks, a hunter specializing in villains does not mean that he only deals with villains.

In addition to discussing various ways to suppress the occurrence of villains as much as possible, strengthening security, suppressing access to monsters inside and outside the city, etc., we had to know how to view various documents and make sure that cooperation between various departments was organic. .

In addition, various reconnaissance assets are provided, so if an incident occurs in Seoul, a system can be established within 30 minutes from 5 minutes to dispatch to a nearby department.

Although it had some inefficiencies, it was a system designed to keep the city safe. If it had been ‘elimination’ rather than ‘arrest’ of the villain, the efficiency would have been much higher.

“······ Therefore, establishing a cooperative system with other departments is most important.”

Dahyun Jeong emphasized cooperation several times.

“But doesn’t cooperation mean slowing down?”

“that’s right. That’s why on-site judgment is important.”

The person who could make that decision was the civil servant Hunter. Because ‘public power’ was given to do so.

The presence or absence of public authority creates the difference between hunters and villains.

I have no intention of seeking cooperation from other departments, as Jeong Da-hyun requested. If it were a villain, it was something that had to be eliminated, and from the perspective of a civil servant hunter who had to minimize damage, speed battles were important.

This would be the ordinary mindset of a civil servant hunter who protects citizens.

I really liked the idea that qualifications were determined with just one test.

“Then shall we go for lunch?”

I checked the time and it was lunch time. Da-hyeon Jeong and I went outside and went to Baekban House, located a little away from the National Security Bureau. The mushroom soybean paste stew at this restaurant is so excellent that I ate here all week.

“It’s good to have a system, but isn’t it better to catch villains on the front lines?”

“It’s easier said than done.”

“What if it’s not easy?”

“Being a villain hiding in the city means that he is more cunning than you can imagine.”

“······.”

Honestly, I couldn’t understand that.

Dahyun Jeong saw my expression and smiled faintly.

“You will soon find out.”

If I went to work and adapted to the life of a civil servant hunter, I watched Yunhee’s training after work.

It’s not because he’s my younger brother, but because he’s born with talent.

His nimble movements, force affinity, adaptability, and operational ability ranked at the top.

I grumbled that it was difficult because it was a fairly harsh map, but after seeing my skills improve, I persevered.

The more skill I had at rolling, the more I enjoyed rolling. Maybe it’s because she’s my younger sister, but I was motivated to roll.

Looking at that, I remembered that I was the person who blocked Yunhee’s path in the past.

My younger sister was loved by both her parents and her friends because of her hot-headed and never-ending personality.

Because of me, my dream was shattered and I ended up having to be monitored for the rest of my life. All I could do was watch my little sister from afar sometimes.

I didn’t have the courage to face it, but what would it have been like if I had faced it in person?

“You’re just going to nag me, right? She said she failed to properly lead her oppa, who was hit hard, and turned him into a villain. “The best decision in my life was to make my brother take the civil service hunter exam.”

This is the answer to the question of what I would say if I ever became a villain.

“By any chance, don’t think about doing something villainous. Be sure to stay next to Dahyun! “Then you should have done something in the middle?”

For some reason, it seemed like he trusted Dahyun Jeong more than me. But since when did you start calling Dahyun Jeong your sister? It was a thought that just passed by, but I didn’t ask any further questions.

“Thank you for your concern, little brother.”

“Now wait a minute! Why are you smiling so cruelly! Do not come!”

“Who is bothering you? “Let’s practice. It’s fun training.”

“What’s fun about training? mom! “This guy gets his little brother!”

I struggled to find my parents in the countryside, but it soon calmed down.

If it’s too hard, there’s no room for it.

Level measurement.

It is an essential process to go through when becoming a hunter.

Level is a measure of power, and high-level awakeners are evaluated and treated as the country’s main power.

The levels of Awakened who are active on the front lines are 4 to 5, with levels 6 and 7 being high-ranking Awakenings and level 8 being called Transcendent Awakenings.

In particular, level 8 awakeners are the strongest force that no place has more than 10 people except in the United States.

South Korea is currently a country that officially has four level 8 awakeners.

Thanks to its systematic training system and the emergence of outstanding prospects, it is considered one of the world’s leading Awakening powers.

Therefore, those who nurture promising talent do not believe in the existence of ‘geniuses who appear like comets’. A true genius is created by thoroughly revealing and refining talent from an early age.

But today, that common sense was broken. Jeong Joo-ho, with a very stern expression, looked at Jeong Da-hyun.

“···Did you know?”

“I didn’t know it would be like this.”

“Can you believe it’s level 7?”

“You have to believe it.”

“Yes, I have to believe it. “Because the meter won’t lie.”

Level measurements do not represent all combat abilities. However, it is the most widely known method and boasts a high hit rate.

In the level measurement conducted today, Choi Jun-ho proved level 7.

I tested it a few more times with a different measuring device, wondering if it was an error, but the results were the same.

7 in the first level measurement after awakening. Improbable growth process. And support for civil servant hunters.

There was no part that I understood from beginning to end.

If you were in your mid-20s and level 7, there would have been a lot of guilds willing to take you, even if it meant uprooting the pillar.

“What kind of person is the Choi Jun-ho you see?”

“It’s like drawing paper.”

“drawing paper?”

“Yes, it is a pure white painting. “He’s so pure that it doesn’t suit his age.”

It felt like it was worn out somewhere, but I didn’t bother to mention it.

Choi Jun-ho is a character who must be handled with caution. The more you point out that he is somewhat aggressive and force him to control himself, the more he will react.

If we make a mistake, there is a high possibility that humanity will face a huge disaster that we have never faced before.

So Da-hyun Jeong chose the path of protecting Jun-ho Choi.

“But the painting is pure white.”

“It means it can be dyed.”

“Yes, it’s dangerous.”

He can be a loyal civil servant hunter, but if he makes a mistake, he can become a more dangerous villain than anyone else.

The Choi Jun-ho that Jeong Da-hyun saw was like that.

“I need to be by your side.”

“I trust you, but the problem is that you don’t have a past.”

“You just have to figure it out little by little. “If there had been another plan, I wouldn’t have approached it like this.”

“I guess so. I understand. Please watch from the side for the time being.”

Jeong Joo-ho tried to end the conversation with that, but Jeong Da-hyun pointed out a point that could have been missed.

“And there’s one more thing you should know.”

“What?”

“The level measuring device… can only measure up to level 7.”

“…Probably not.”

Jeong Joo-ho shook his head. But I had goosebumps on my arms.

To measure level 8, a measuring instrument located in the central government is needed. Even a level 8 awakened person shows up as level 7 according to the normal meter.

Jeong Da-hyun’s guess is absurd. But it was also something to keep in mind.

“I guess not?”

“I just said it first.”

“First of all, this takes time. “Let’s just report it to the higher-ups and leave the announcement of his level for the time being.”

“yes.”

Two weeks after becoming a civil servant hunter.

Internal work was handed over and level measurement was completed.

My level is 7. After internal discussion, we decided to set the public level to 5.

I don’t really care about the level, but I was a bit surprised because it was different from the level I was evaluated on in my last life.

In my last life, I saw a lot of high-level villains getting their heads blown off by low-level villains while they were bragging about their national level.

So I don’t blindly trust the level. Wouldn’t it be right to view it as the output of the power I can exert?

Today, I went out with Dahyun Jeong. It was finally field work.

They said that we must not let our guard down, and for lunch we had stir-fried pork instead of soybean paste stew. I’m not sure what the difference is, but the solemn atmosphere was conveyed well.

“Last time I said, wouldn’t it be better to catch more villains on the front line?”

“yes.”

“Actually, it’s not that we don’t know about it and that’s why we don’t do it.”

“then?”

“I can’t do it because I can’t. “I can’t exactly catch the villain.”

Can’t catch the villain? It was difficult to understand.

“Compared to the size of the city, the number of awakeners dedicated to villains is small. Most of them are preoccupied with hunting monsters and calculating the value of by-products. “This seemingly peaceful city is actually full of holes like cheese.”

I nodded. When I was a villain, there were dark afterimages of the awakened people who had been persistently pursuing me, but there probably wasn’t enough manpower to cover all the minnow villains.

I went crazy and started killing people out in the open, but there were no villains running around full of life when they saw the awakened people walking around with their eyes wide open.

“The numbers are not enough, but the biggest problem is this.”

Dahyun Jeong stretched out her cheeks.

“Fake face?”

“that’s right.”

Fake face, also known as fake face, is similar to a human skin mask and is a disguise tool made by processing the skin of a humanoid monster. It is also a frequent item for villains. Although it cannot be used for a long time due to its toxicity, it was useful inside the city.

“The number of awakened people is insufficient and the villains hide their identities. “This is why, even if we cooperate with multiple teams, we have no choice but to focus on control rather than prevention.”

“Is there any way to recognize fake faces?”

“We need to do facial recognition at close range. But that is.”

“The backlash will be strong.”

“Because there is a backlash against the awakened.”

Awakened people are objects of admiration, but at the same time, they are like a newly emerged class. Citizens envied the powerful power, wealth, honor, and power they possessed.

However, the underlying inferiority complex is the problem.

Ordinary citizens wanted to keep the awakened people under control and were wary of the creation of a privileged class composed solely of them.

“So, we aim to suppress villains as quickly as possible when they cause an accident through a systematic construction network. “That’s the best.”

“I have a question. “Mr. Secretary, which is more important, the elimination of villains or the safety of citizens?”

“It’s the safety of citizens.”

“Even if the surviving villain becomes a disaster in the future?”

“···What I felt as I faced reality was that I couldn’t have everything. “If you can’t have both, the safety of citizens comes first.”

Straight eyes turned to me. It was the same eye I saw in my last life. Those eyes he had before he died in my hands.

I don’t hate people who try to adapt to reality in order not to give up their beliefs.

“I believe that arresting one villain is the way to ensure the safety of 100 citizens. “That thought has not changed.”

“Junho’s thoughts could easily create innocent victims.”

“Then you can just apologize. Isn’t it better than not being able to get vaccinated because you’re afraid of side effects? For example, look at the person walking over there right now.”

“yes?”

I approached the goal that caught my senses.

“What is it?”

An ordinary-looking man standing there looked at me with a surprised expression, but instead of answering, I reached out and pulled his face.

Sigh!

His face changed from an ordinary face to a grim expression full of scars.

“This is how we can find villains.”
