Episode 63
– I apologize if this was a bit excessive.
Does this guy also have mind reading skills?
Meanwhile, the guy continued talking.
-But I think you know very well that you are much closer to a villain than a hunter.
“I don’t know?”
Hunter: Surprisingly, it suited my taste well.
-That’s your opinion. Do the people who suffered at your hands also think that way?
“What are they going to do if they don’t think about it?”
-It will collide with you.
“Then we will all die.”
The light in the blue eyes became more intense.
-The more you do this, the more enemies you will have. If the enemy says they can’t resist you, I’ll mess around with them.
“We need to do a good job of controlling the surrounding area.”
But there was something that touched me differently than I said. And this existed in the context of everything I had done.
It is to increase my allies as much as my enemies increase.
-Choi Jun-ho, don’t you think it’s strange? He only moved for justice, so why does the world try to accuse Choi Jun-ho of evil?
“······.”
Argos’s voice gained strength, as if he thought my silence was consent.
-That’s because the world is wrong. The arrogance of those in power who only try to fit into the world what does not fit their mold has created the current imbalance! This world must be turned upside down! We are the only ones who can make it right!
“It’s the league’s ideology.”
-Now, Mr. Choi Jun-ho is forcing himself to fit into the world. You are satisfied with yourself that this is the best. However, the world will not try to understand Choi Jun-ho and will demand more understanding. There has to be something to give and receive. By restricting, oppressing, and oppressing, the world’s politicians are oppressing the awakened to maintain their power. Choi Jun-ho is also one of the victims.
I’ve never really suppressed anything.
I killed everyone who could be killed, and saved everyone who needed to be saved.
“The attack on me with the black hound was an attempt to appease?”
-I apologize for that. Heinz was also curious about Choi Jun-ho’s skills.
Normally, this would show the limits of patience.
I can see that the Argos guy’s feelings are sincere.
-The league aims for a horizontal structure. If Choi Jun-ho wants, he can take on the position of leader of the league. A bloody fight with a strong person is also possible. With the power that Choi Jun-ho has, he can take anything he wants. Because Choi Jun-ho has the power to do that. Power is qualification.
“It would be a shame. “If you had just said a few words, everyone would have been offended.”
Argos is a villain now called a legend. And to the villains, the League is an object of admiration. Everyone must have been taken aback by those few words.
But I was a worse person than you.
-Choi Jun-ho thinks we are evil.
“Then you thought it wasn’t true?”
-The evil is not just villains. Those in power who exploit people to protect their positions are the true evil. Junho Choi, please join us.
“It’s okay, seeing as the mutt didn’t show up, you must have done something.”
I thought the black hound would appear over the sea as time passed, but there was no sign of it.
It seems like they were using some trick, whether it was moving through space or hiding in the sea.
There is no reason to listen to that bullshit any more.
-Choi Jun-ho, please let us change the world together…
“I guess you thought you were safe because you were far away.”
I held my eyes in my hands. Ultimately, this eye color may be similar to the principle used by puppeteers to control puppets.
I remembered the waves emanating from my eyes and started backtracking. Remember the shape of the wave and expand your senses to track the direction the wave follows.
Then, I sensed that one eye color was leading to another eye color, and that eye color was leading to another eye color. Why are there so many eye colors? In this way, Argos surpassed the limitations of distance. Looking at what used to lead to Russia crosses the Pacific Ocean…
“It’s not even a stepping stone.”
Although it was so faint that its presence was undetectable, it was possible to guess that Argos was in the United States.
I fired mines at the snow. The eyes that could not withstand the force began to explode, and the eyes that connected the waves exploded one after another.
puck! Plop! puck! puck!
More than ten eyes exploded, and at some point, the flow of power stopped. Argos artificially severed the connection.
Unlike the puppet master, the distance was too far to hit the main body.
Instead, he probably can’t do anything stupid to me.
What is it like to be born to be a villain? Depending on your efforts, you can blend into society.
“If you catch my eye, think you’re dead.”
* * *
There were two men in a large room with only a few pieces of furniture. One man sat on a chair and the other stood next to him as if guarding him.
A blond white man sitting on a chair was smiling softly with his mysterious eyes shining. The appearance was noble, beautiful, and sacred, like something out of a myth.
He was Argos, the founder of the League and known to peer into the world.
puck!
The moment the dull sound of the blow rang out, blood flowed from Argos’ eyes. After a while, blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn’t hold back the blood rising inside him and started spitting it out.
“Yuck!”
The black hound who was watching from the side was surprised and came forward to help Argos.
“Are you okay?”
“No, it’s not okay. It must be difficult with this body. “Can I ask Heinz a favor?”
“···I get it.”
Argus closed his eyes as the black hound, who nodded with a stern expression, stretched out his hand over his chest.
After a while, pure white light enveloped Argos’ entire body, and his blood completely disappeared, causing him to collapse like a corpse.
A pure white sphere was created above the rapidly cooling body and moved out of the room. Soon the door opened, and a man who looked exactly like Argos, who had collapsed a moment ago, came inside.
“I heard it was great, but the head breaker is no joke.”
“I’m sorry I caught fire for no reason.”
“It’s true that I’m curious about your skills. good job. “It’s okay now.”
“I said that’s the messenger, you son of a bitch.”
“Haha, the head breaker is amazing because it makes curses come out of Heinz’s mouth. Ugh!”
At that time, blood flowed from Argos’ eyes.
“egg!”
“are you okay. It’s an aftereffect. This happens even when I move my body. “I think he’s similar to Franz, but he’s very harsh.”
Argos said, wiping blood from the corners of his eyes.
“So how was the head breaker?”
“It was so damn strong.”
“That much?”
“Don’t joke about writing a summons because you’re worried about me.”
“I did it because I was afraid it would ignite more fire. Could it be that our Heinz lost? “It’s a black hound and no one else?”
Roy Hines, the black hound, once a fire is lit, he won’t let it go until it’s over.
As a result, countless hunters lost their lives, and his fighting spirit for martial arts was not recognized and he was treated as a villain.
Argos was removed before it caught fire any further.
The black hound clicked its tongue.
“He’s a guy that wouldn’t be good to deal with directly.”
“I think so. “He was born to be a real villain, but he doesn’t know it.”
Argos looked remorseful, but Black Hound spoke firmly.
“Not only is it difficult to guarantee a win even if I do my best, but his gift is good for creating more victims. Korea is more difficult than what you get. “It would be best to postpone this plan until he changes his mind.”
“······.”
Argos was lost in thought. The appearance, with its blood drained and turning white, reminded me of a wax doll rather than a person.
“What about the 12 signs?”
“It will be difficult.”
“That’s right.”
“What are you thinking?”
Argos, smiling whitely, looked very evil.
“I just thought it was time for a change in the zodiac.”
“If you’re going to mess with it clumsily, it’s better to leave it alone.”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“If Choi Jun-ho is a trouble maker like you said, watching him will cause trouble. “If you leave him alone, the world will automatically brand him as a villain.”
The world will never let Choi Jun-ho become a hunter.
That heart, that life, in those hands.
These are all things that can easily be misunderstood as villains.
Having experienced a world where pure fighting spirit was dismissed as a villain’s way of life, Black Hound thought he knew Choi Jun-ho better than anyone else.
‘The world will make you a villain.’
When reminiscing about the past that suddenly came to mind and predicting Choi Jun-ho’s fate, Argos asked with a playful expression.
“You didn’t want to hang out?”
“You just have to stick with it after you join.”
“good. Korea is a difficult place for us to take root right now, so let’s do as Heinz said. Instead, let’s spice things up a bit.”
“okay. You can rest now. “Don’t help me.”
“I said it’s okay. “Don’t worry too much.”
“It’s for the league, not for you.”
“I can’t help it.”
Argos moved with the support of Black Hound.
‘He’s a funny guy, to the point where he hurts me in the U.S. in Korea.’
* * *
I set out to chase Heartwalker, but the League eventually appeared, so I contacted the National Defense Bureau. Soon after, a villain task force was dispatched.
The villain team led by Jeong Da-hyun closed their eyes tightly when they saw the scattered corpses and began searching the surrounding area. They set out to search for any remaining members of the league.
“······.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who was commanding the scene and giving instructions, could not take his eyes off the completely devastated place.
This is where me and the black hound collided. I felt that Jeong Da-hyun’s intuition was developing more and more, as if she were reading traces and flows around her.
“ha!”
By now, Dahyun Jeong is probably imagining a match between me and Blackhound.
It is important to be stimulated here and let your imagination run wild. The use of force is based on imagination, providing a starting point for reaching a higher level as one becomes freer.
Jeong Da-hyun, who had been standing silently for a while, finally came out of the lingering mood and looked at me.
“Who was it?”
“Blackhound.”
“The three evils of the league.”
This is another term for the world’s worst villain who created the league.
Dahyun Jeong made a shocked expression.
“Why is he here…?”
“It means that the Big Bang series was viewed as important.”
I didn’t necessarily reveal the whole truth. I rejected Argos’ offer, but what he said remained in my mind.
He said I had no choice but to become a villain. But I have been struggling desperately to defy that fate. I restrained myself again and again to fight against the madness that could come at any time.
If this thing called fate tries to devour me.
All you have to do is kill that destiny.
I will never go crazy.
“···yes.”
He probably knew in his gut that I didn’t tell him everything. Although there were probably some things she was curious about, Dahyun Jeong did not ask any further questions.
Perhaps because he thought it was a heavy topic, he changed the topic.
“By the way, she betrayed her brother when he did her a favor.”
“I couldn’t suppress my greed.”
“Don’t worry too much.”
…I’m fine.
Heartwalker called me in my last life and that was it. Because it was his processing method, I tried to give him a chance, so I showed him favor, but he betrayed me and got rid of him. That’s it.
I think there was a strange misunderstanding, but I didn’t try to resolve it.
“I have a question.”
“say.”
“As I was reading about the fight against Blackhound, there were a few places where the flow was interrupted.”
“I’m in a bit of trouble right now.”
“is that so?”
It was difficult to ignore Jeong Da-hyun’s sullen expression.
“That’s the way it is now. I have to go straight to the Blue House. “Let’s set up a place soon.”
“yes!”
Dahyun Jeong answered with a bright expression.
* * *
“······.”
After returning to the Blue House, I repeated the explanation I had given to Jeong Da-hyun to Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been waiting since dawn.
“Then the league will never come back?”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
“you’re right. I asked a stupid question. “Anyway, what was it like dealing with the worst villain, Black Hound?”
“It was strong.”
“Can you tell me specifically how much it is?”
I said, recalling the level 8 I had tried my hand at.
“It’s stronger than Zhang Zedong’s Berserker. “He is overwhelmingly stronger than Kim Young-hwan.”
The interesting point is that of the three, only the villain Berserker is alive. It’s a tough life that survived even after my heart was shattered twice.
I wish they would open it quickly.
“Wow, you really did a great job. “I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
After finishing reporting on the league, Myung-Guk Cheon changed the topic.
“Are you thinking of donating the Big Bang series to the National Defense Agency?”
“you’re right.”
As the Big Bang series continues to sell out, Lee Se-hee has assigned something to me.
I first donated the first batch I received to the Awakened Security Office. So Cheon Myeong-guk said thank you. The next quantity was planned to be donated to the National Defense Agency.
He lost his hair because of me, so I should at least compensate him.
“Did you tell Director Jeong Joo-ho by any chance?”
“I have to do it now.”
“Then how about calling the Blue House and talking?”
Why are they suddenly calling us to the Blue House? Is there any reason to do that?
“Wouldn’t it be simpler to do it over the phone?”
“After all, it was donated by Choi Jun-ho, so wouldn’t it make for a good painting if it was packaged well?”
“I see.”
It may be an unusual situation, but publicizing good things can help improve your image. I tend to forget this a lot, so it’s good to be reminded of this.
Cheon Myeong-guk’s words did not end there.
“And I have a favor to ask of you. This time, we plan to promote Director Jeong Joo-ho to the head of the newly established office. “He is a high-ranking vice minister.”
“It’s something to celebrate.”
“But Director Jeong Joo-ho is steadfastly refusing.”
Actually, Jung Joo-ho doesn’t have much greed. I’m also cautious.
Cheon Myeong-guk said with a cautious expression.
“So, if you come to the Blue House this time, won’t you help me persuade them?”
“Me?”
Do you want to hear what I’m saying?
“yes.”
“Can I help you?”
“Of course. “If Choi Jun-ho’s words are spoken, Director Jeong Joo-ho’s thoughts will also change.”
“All right.”
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression widened. Is it something he would like that much?
By the way, Jung Joo-ho got promoted. I will see you often in the future.
Jung Joo-ho will like it too, right?
