The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 197

Han Sang-min, who offered me a seat, began to complain about his situation, or to be more precise, about his situation.

Among them, there was one that caught my interest.

“Villain shortage?”

“Now, the number of villains in the metropolitan area has decreased to one-fifth of what it was three years ago. “Most of the villains who died or were arrested and managed to escape the fire chose to flee to the countryside.”

“I don’t hear much news about villains running amok these days.”

Can our country suddenly become this better to live in?

The villains I know don’t know what rehabilitation is.

Berserker was a representative example of rehabilitation, but he had weak villain tendencies to begin with.

Han Sang-min sighed towards me, who was feeling puzzled.

“Don’t you know what three years means? “It’s a change that happened when you showed up.”

How can I not know what those three years mean?

“I didn’t kill that many people.”

“Do you have to kill them all to reduce the number of villains?”

Wasn’t it? After listening to it, I think that’s true.

When I was convinced, Sangmin Han explained the cause in detail. If the number one reason for the decrease in villains is me, the number two is Jeong Da-hyun and the National Protectorate.

Actually, I remember Dahyun Jeong catching the villains like catching mice before turning to hunting monsters. But is that enough to significantly reduce the number of villains?

Then Han Sang-min makes a ridiculous expression.

“I don’t think you realize how scary the name ‘Nachalnyeo’ is to villains?”

“That much?”

“Rather, the name Jeong Da-hyun is more frightening to small children. Still, you only caught those who did visibly bad things, right? Dahyun Jeong was a trawl hunter. “There was absolutely no mercy in his hands.”

There is a reason why Jeong Da-hyeon, who was once a symbol of justice, was given the nickname Nachalnyeo.

It is said that only minor criminals are more infamous than me.

It is said that when Jeong Da-hyun fell into hunting monsters instead of arresting villains, he held a festival without joking.

On the other hand, some people said that we should take care of ourselves so that Jeong Da-hyun does not come here again.

“….”

I never thought Dahyun Jeong would be like that. Han Sang-min was disgusted, but I was amazed at the changes I had made.

[I think the normal kid became strange because of you.]

Don’t you think he’s a well-off civil servant hunter?

[Originally, the civil servant hunter was going around killing all the villains?]

Of course.

[Then why aren’t you arrested?]

I guess Yongyong still wants to call me a villain.

Well, at this point, I’m not taking it lightly anymore.

Hyuna was also looking at me and saying that it was not normal compared to the hematoma.

I will have to point this out at some point.

[Now you trust me.]

No, I trust Hyuna, not you.

[What is that!] I

listened to the whining Yongyong with one ear and ignored it, concentrating on the conversation with Han Sangmin.

“so.”

“huh?”

“I don’t know what the decrease in villains has to do with you being here.”

“Ha, this is all because of you.”

“Why me?”

Han Sang-min took a deep breath and asked me.

“Do you think that if we get rid of all the villains we see, there won’t be any more villains?”

“Are you talking about the theory of spontaneous generation of villains?”

“It’s not like that!”

“then?”

“First of all, to correct your thinking, no matter how much you clean up, it is impossible to completely get rid of the villain.”

“….”

Still, I think the number can be minimized.

“It’s a problem because the world doesn’t work that innocently. Social evils are bound to exist everywhere in the world. “You admit that, right?”

“To some extent.”

I know that the world is not completely black and white.

“In that respect, villains are bound to exist. “This lawless area is not a place where the government has influence, so when vacancies arise, they are filled by those who have not adapted to society.”

“Keep going.”

“But with the appearance of Head Breaker and Nachalnyeo, the number of villains in Korea has dried up. The problem is that foreign villains came in as the positions could not be filled with villains from their own country.”

It is said that the harm caused by this is beyond imagination.

Even in a foreign country, the hand of life at the bottom was cruel and it was easy to go to extremes because there was no going back.

It was said to be good, but as it is difficult to control, it is emerging as a new problem.

Then, why not just sweep it all away and then not accept it?

Han Sang-min shook his head.

“Several cases of smuggling are taking place every day as those who have already arrived here contact their home countries. “It’s so messed up.”

The reason Han Sang-min came here is to properly control it.

That sounds plausible. It felt like I learned about a world I didn’t know about.

“So is it under control?”

“It’s going well! “It’s safe to say it’s the greatest achievement of my life!”

“why?”

“It’s never been in your ears, right?”

“….”

That’s right. Now that I think about it, I only found traces by chance, and I’ve never heard of him doing anything bad while working secretly here. If the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau had given us the information sooner, it wouldn’t have come at all.

“If this is a necessary evil, we have to wait and see.”

“Can’t you leave it to me? Anyway, these guys are irredeemable trash. “I will hand over everything when the time is right.”

Then, you will have to be included in the North Korean pioneering group and provide labor for the rest of your life.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Okay, leave it to me.”

“and.”

“huh?”

“Let’s take a stand on the issue of the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau.”

Although I didn’t say anything, I was able to gain many insights while talking with Sangmin Han.

Complete eradication of villains is impossible, and the vacuum they create will inevitably be filled by other villains.

Since Han Sang-min is an expert, it is right to leave the work to an expert.

In that case, what I need to worry about is the issue of the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau.

We need to point out the fact that information exchange was not smooth even though Han Sang-min, a black agent, was infiltrating.

“I asked you to share information, but isn’t there a reason why you didn’t tell me you were infiltrated?”

“….”

Han Sang-min nodded with a stern expression. I’m sure there are conflicts or conflicts that I don’t know about, but personal feelings shouldn’t come into play when dealing with villains.

“You too, don’t do anything difficult and come back. “If you keep wearing the villain’s mask to control the villain, you will eventually become tainted by that ideology.”

“Be careful.”

This is something I can say because I myself have played a villain in the past.

I left behind Han Sang-min, who nodded, and went out.

* * *

When Choi Jun-ho went outside, Han Sang-min sighed in relief as the world disappeared.

“phew! I lived, I lived. Yes, the third one should be safe. “Even here, if you break all your limbs and become half-invalid, that means you’re dead!”

For a moment, I remembered what Choi Jun-ho said and burst into anger.

“You bastards! If Choi Jun-ho asks for information, I will come to work even on the weekend and provide the information right away, right? “Are you fucking telling me to die?”

Some people wear villain masks for the country and work in the field, breathing in dust, but those who work comfortably at their office desks are lazy.

“Park Gyu-won, you son of a bitch!”

Han Sang-min exuded his spirit by shouting out the name of Park Gyu-won, his classmate and director of the External Cooperation Management Bureau.

I had no idea that the relationship, which had been bitter enemies throughout my career as a civil servant hunter, would turn sour.

Perhaps Choi Jun-ho’s suspicions are reasonable. Because Park Gyu-won has always regarded himself as a thorn in his eyes.

Still, I did my best for the country, no matter how difficult it was. But isn’t it a dog’s death?

Just seeing Junho Choi’s face felt like a nightmare from the past coming back to life.

Han Sang-min, who was in a fever, could not hold back and contacted Yeom Ki-cheol.

“Commissioner.”

-I’m shopping with Mana right now.

“I almost died right now because of the internal chaos.”

-….

“If it is difficult for you to receive it, I will contact your wife and ask for her understanding.”

-Just wait 10 minutes.

Yeom Ki-cheol, who initially avoided contact by saying that he was helping his wife with shopping, contacted Sang-min Han within 10 minutes after hearing that he was going to turn everything over and leave.

-Tell me in detail. Park Gyu-won had an accident?

“I can’t work if I continue like this.”

-Don’t be like that, but talk about it in detail.

“I met Choi Jun-ho again today. “We are carrying out the operation according to the director’s final instructions.”

-….

“Besides, do you know why Choi Jun-ho came? The State Security Bureau requested information from the Foreign Cooperation Management Bureau, but it was delayed. “Isn’t this Park Gyu-won trying to kill me?”

The more he spoke, the more emotional he became and the rougher he became.

-…What should I do?

“I can’t stand Park Gyu-won’s installation. Let’s go inside the External Cooperation Management Bureau. “I will go in and destroy everything.”

-OK.

“Are you serious?”

Han Sang-min, who had not expected Yeom Ki-cheol to accept it so obediently even though he said he was attacked by evil, was rather surprised.

-Yes, I, too, was not pleased with Park Gyu-won’s foreign cooperation management bureau’s actions. If you say that, there must be something more serious hidden there than I think. Since I was the one who recommended Park Gyu-won, it is right that I take responsibility as well.

“also.”

At times like this, it was Yeom Yeom-cheol who showed sharp judgment.

-I’ll call you again. And I’m sorry.

“Well, since you say that, I can’t help it.”

This is why I couldn’t hate Yeom Ki-cheol. Because you make the optimal decision in any situation. I once wanted to be like that, and as my career grew, I realized that I wanted to lead Yeom Ki-cheol’s plan to success.

Yes, Yeom Ki-cheol is his idol and role model.

-Okay, then I trust you… (Oppa! What are you doing here? Come quickly and pick up the luggage. It’s too heavy!) (Okay! I’ll be there right away!) Don’t leave it to me. Well then, I have urgent work to do so I won’t go. I’ll contact you tomorrow.

And just like that, the call was disconnected.

“….”

Han Sang-min’s face, which had been praising Yeom Ki-cheol’s judgment just a moment ago, was bitterly cold.

* * *

I don’t think there are good villains in the world.

The very existence of villains is poisonous. I saw the villain as not being productive and just exploiting someone’s hard work.

In that respect, Han Sang-min’s perspective was refreshing. If you can’t completely eradicate a villain, choose control. In the end, the idea of minimizing the damage by controlling the structure of the world if a villain appears was efficient, even though it was different from my idea of just eliminating everything in sight.

First of all, Han Sang-min was supposed to be in charge of handling the villain organization, so I decided to leave it to him.

Suddenly, I wanted to get advice on this, so I mentioned the villain’s necessary evil theory to Jin Se-jeong.

“I think it makes sense.”

“Why?”

“Currently, public power does not extend to all territory of the Republic of Korea. “The vacuum of public power is being influenced by monsters and villains, and if the existing order collapses, chaos will occur, and the powerless will bear the brunt of the damage.”

However, Jin Se-jeong said that he does not advocate necessary evils. The government argued that power should be increased as quickly as possible to eliminate vacuum in public power and reduce the number of villains.

I guess this is the normal perspective.

“But depending on the field, I don’t think necessary evils are bad for the purpose of raising awareness.”

What field are you talking about?

Jin Se-jeong smiled at me.

“It’s like I respect and like Choin, but I can’t help but write malicious comments for him.”

“….”

Despite all that, it seemed like he was enjoying it a lot.

When I asked about that, Jin Se-jeong said it was a misunderstanding and dismissed it.

You did very well.

“I have one more question.”

“yes.”

“Some people who hate me say I’m no different from a villain.”

[What are you talking about me now?]

Yongyong muttered, but he looked away, pretending not to hear, and asked Jin Se-jeong.

“Do you think I look like a villain to the team leader?”

“yes.”

“….”

I thought you would say no.

It was a shock.

[look! I heard you are a villain. That person only said nice things because of the money you gave him.]

Yongyong’s attitude was more disgusting than Jin Sejeong’s answer.

Is it because of my expression? Jin Se-jeong suddenly smiled.

“Of course I’m joking! “Aren’t you taking this too seriously?”

“I’m curious what your answer means.”

“It’s simple. In fact, there may be many people who think this way. And it’s very difficult to change these people’s minds.”

I think so. I don’t think I’ve ever seen people’s thoughts change.

So, I usually choose to kill rather than persuade.

“I think it’s a difference of perspective, but some people may think that means and methods must go through a systematic process to achieve a goal, while others may be tired of outdated means and methods.”

From that perspective, those who support the former may feel that they are more vicious than the villain.

“If you’re concerned about people around you pointing fingers at you and calling you a villain.”

Jin Se-jeong spoke with confidence.

“You only need to look at and act on people who support you.”

“Is that okay?”

“sure. If Choin changes his behavior to change the minds of the haters, then only the supporters will turn around, right? Rather, it is better to take action after seeing someone who supports the Adept. And who would point that out to a superman’s face?”

Actually, Yongyong and Hyuna could do that because they are gods.

Hematoma This guy is probably trying to rationalize himself.

If you think about it that way, everyone who calls me a villain is not a proper person.

These guys don’t even know what the concept of necessary evil is.

I definitely feel like my thoughts are being organized after listening to Jin Se-jeong.

[That’s not what I see. You’re just crazy.]

Yongyong made his last struggle, but it didn’t reach my ears.

Yes, those who called me a villain probably did that to cause trouble in the first place.

The confusion may come from the difference between a necessary evil and a villain.

Even if some people think of it as a villain, it can’t be helped. If you’re dissatisfied, you can just taste the necessary evil.

“From now on, I will have to act without worrying about what others think.”

“Yes, that’s the charm of a superhuman.”

“It’s a necessary evil.”

Yes, I thought about it for a moment, but it is still right for me to act as I am.

The only thing that has changed is the realization that I am a necessary evil.

In that case, there would be no reason to look here and there.

I have to go to the External Cooperation Management Bureau to overturn it as planned.

[It’s getting even crazier.]

Yongyong sighed next to me.
