The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 209

[We have to retrieve it.]

After Nakayama returned, Yongyong strongly insisted to me.

“….”

He neither confirmed nor denied those words. I understand what Yongyong is saying, but my thoughts are a little different.

In my head, I organized what Nakayama said and what Jeong Da-hyeon conveyed.

Japan’s attempt was an extension of the secret experiments that countries had been conducting. Even though humans are threatened with destruction by monsters, they have continued to research to replicate their amazing vitality, tough skin, and enormous force use.

If the remains of a divine tree were discovered, it would not be strange to attempt research to restore them. I didn’t know that Korea might also be conducting research in places I didn’t know about. That’s how humanity survived.

When I didn’t answer, Yongyong spoke in an urgent voice.

[We must not allow the existence of a divine beast to interfere with the human world. There is a possibility that the Thunderbird, which received information while we hesitated, made the first move.]

“You couldn’t sense anything that was artificially created, so how do you say the Thunderbird can sense it?”

[….]

“Isn’t it because you don’t want humans to come into contact with divine beasts?”

[…That’s right.]

Watching Yongyong reluctantly answer, I was able to gain confidence.

Shinsu has many personalities, but he is basically arrogant. Their pride that they were different from others was a little, if not very, annoying.

I always wanted to break the bridge of my nose. Well, it seems like that opportunity is not now.

In this case, there will be no clumsy interference from the Thunderbird. In Japan, they succeeded in artificially creating the essence of a divine beast, but it would be very different from the existing essence of a divine beast.

Still, I wanted to see it once. The Japanese government must have poured in a huge amount of support to make it, but isn’t it the owner who picks it up now?

After all, the most delicious thing to eat is to eat it raw without any responsibility.

“Go get it.”

[Really?]

“If we leave it anyway, someone who eats and digests it might appear. “Something annoying might happen, but I can’t just sit back and watch.”

[that’s right! I can communicate well for the first time in a while!]

Is that really the case?

There must be a significant difference between what Yongyong thinks and what I think.

But there’s no need to say that. Although he has a cute dragon shape, he can become very annoying when he puts his mind to it.

And since this is a large number of cases, it would be a shame to go with Jeong Da-hyun.

“I can’t go to Dokdo together.”

I was quite looking forward to it, but I guess I’ll have to ask for your understanding.

* * *

“I’m sorry.”

Dahyun Jeong did not hide her disappointment when she heard that I could not go to Dokdo with her. He added that he wanted to show his progress.

“I feel sorry too.”

I could have watched how it hunted in the sea and looked for more rolling parts.

Dahyun Jeong’s talent is truly dazzling. So much so that it can be said that Jeong Da-hyun is better than Lee Se-hee in terms of talent. It felt like Lee Se-hee was making up for what she lacked with venom.

Anyway, since he is so talented, he has a lot of fun to play. I thought I would find a new point this time, but I was disappointed.

However, since it is related to the remains of Shinsoo, Jeong Da-hyun’s presence is only a hindrance. You have to be a superhuman to be able to help or not.

“I’ll be back soon, so I’m just finishing up my thoughts. Have you met Lee Se-hee?”

“yes. “He was so proud that he had reached level 7 that I easily defeated him with sparring.”

“I’m curious about Lee Se-hee’s expression.”

“It looked very decomposed. I won this time, but I don’t know about next time. “Sehee is a friend who can always turn things around.”

I felt a sense of camaraderie along with a sense of rivalry. It was a feeling I had never felt before, so I felt amazed and slightly envious.

Can’t I feel that way too? But I don’t see a guy who can be called my rival. If you want to be a rival, your skills will have to be similar.

Well, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to grind up a Berserker and give it a try. It’s not to my liking, but if you keep playing hard, you’ll get as much as you want.

[Would you rather ask me to kill you?]

Yongyong has a good understanding of the Berserker character. But there are also parts that were missed. Berserker will not refuse if there is a way to become stronger.

“And speaking of Yoonhee.”

“yes.”

“Have you met him?”

“We decided to meet tomorrow.”

“I was really looking forward to hearing that you were coming.”

“I’m also looking forward to meeting Yoonhee.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“then?”

I said with a smile.

“Yunhee was really looking forward to receiving guidance from you.”

“really? Yunhee has grown a lot. “You said you didn’t like it before.”

“I guess he realized a lot while participating in the northward march. “Please give me a lot of guidance when I meet you.”

“Yes I will.”

With this, Yoonhee will be able to spend quality time with Jeong Dahyun.

As I was finishing the conversation with Jeong Da-hyeon, Yongyong spoke with a puzzled expression.

[But did your younger brother really say he wanted to train with you? Why do I feel like I’ve never heard of it?]

“Of course not.”

[Huh?]

“Because I never said anything.”

It was a small gift I gave to my younger sister who wanted to chat comfortably.

* * *

I immediately left Seoul and went to Pohang with my dog, boarded my anchored yacht, and headed to Ulleungdo.

In fact, when I decided to head to Dokdo, I debated whether or not to inform the President of this fact.

This is because the situation has been tense recently due to minor frictions with Japan. If you know what the cause is, it will be easier to take measures.

But my choice was not to say anything. Regardless of whether the president can be trusted, I did not feel the need to share the essence of the divine beast or the artificially created remains.

This is in the same context as the fact that I did not talk in detail about the essence of the divine tree in Hallasan Mountain before.

I don’t like sharing what I know with others. When something comes to fruition, I like to monopolize it and then think about sharing it, but I didn’t want to create a situation where I had unnecessary expectations.

Anyway, if I drive a yacht and head to Ulleungdo, the news will be delivered. There is a clear difference between what I tell you first and what I find out later.

I know that my actions have many repercussions. The Blue House will probably try to figure out why I headed to Ulleungdo and then analyze what is there when I head to Dokdo. In the process, some people may lose hair and others may have bloody stool.

That is the risk of my existence.

As long as I am in this country, the people of this country must bear that risk.

Still, since I don’t go crazy and kill people, I’m doing my part.

“Choi Choi Jun-ho, Superhuman!”

When I showed up on Ulleungdo Island with a yacht, the Coast Guard greeted me in surprise.

They didn’t come for me, I came for them. Even if the essence of the artificial divine beast sank near Dokdo, I can’t search the entire ocean. So, I was planning to inquire with the Coast Guard and specify the scope.

I asked the frozen coast guards.

“I heard that Japanese patrol boats appear often these days.”

“Yes yes! “Already, there was news that it appeared near Dokdo a while ago, so it is setting sail there.”

“Departure?”

I reflexively turned my head and saw a patrol boat heading out.

“Is that it?”

“Yes, but… uh huh? “Super superhuman!”

Without hearing anything more, I turned and ran away. He then jumped into the sea, hit the surface of the sea several times, and then jumped onto the patrol boat.

The coast guards, who had been loose, were surprised to see me suddenly appear and quickly surrounded me and shouted.

“Who are you?”

Still, the momentum was quite sharp.

“This is Junho Choi. Who is in charge here?”

“Choi Junho? omg! “Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman?”

“you’re right.”

“How do we get here?”

“Rather, I’d like to talk to the person in charge.”

“I am Inspector Lee Seong-gyu, the person in charge.”

It was only then that I realized that the person in front of me had the highest rank among the coast guards.

In fact, I was confused because I didn’t see many cases where the person in charge took the lead like this.

I wish I could see this and emulate it, but I guess that’s impossible, right?

“Nice to meet you.”

“But how did you come here?”

“I came to Dokdo because I had something to see.”

“Why is Dokdo suddenly…”

“It has nothing to do with Japanese patrol ships.”

“….”

The atmosphere froze. The coast guards were whispering and Lee Seong-gyu’s eyes were shaking uncontrollably.

I spoke to them as if to reassure them.

“No harm will come to you. Because it’s something I personally want to resolve quietly. Are you heading to where the Japanese patrol ship is?”

“yes.”

“I have some business to see there too, so let’s go together.”

“Oh, I understand. “Can I report it to the higher-ups instead?”

“Of course.”

So I boarded the patrol boat and started heading to Dokdo. The Coast Guards glanced at me and dispersed to each do their own work, and only Lee Seong-gyu followed next to me as if to assist me.

“Do Japanese patrol boats appear often?”

“This is a total of 21 times. “My concerns are deepening as I see the cycle becoming more frequent.”

“Which part do you mean?”

“They don’t listen to any of our warnings. And they are measuring it as if to show off, but I don’t know specifically what the intention is. “It’s difficult to stop it because you don’t know the other person’s intentions.”

“okay.”

Perhaps the Coast Guard did not know that they were exploring to find the essence of an artificial divine beast.

Well, if you knew that, it would be even greater.

“It’s a Japanese patrol ship.”

Meanwhile, a Japanese patrol ship appeared a little distance away from Dokdo.

The patrol boat asked the patrol boat to leave immediately. But the patrol boat was unwavering.

“They don’t listen to me at all.”

Seonggyu Lee, who had headed to the command room to warn, sighed. The Japanese patrol boat was wandering around taking measurements whether or not the Coast Guard appeared.

On the outside, it looked like a fight, but in reality, it was a desperate effort to find the essence of an artificial divine beast.

Japan has to work hard like that, but I had a divine intelligence detector.

Yongyong, did you find it?

[wait for a sec. It is not easy to find because it is different from the existing one and is faint. Can you move a little further?]

“Can you bring the boat closer?”

“…All right.”

As the patrol boat approached, the patrol boat became aware of its presence. Both sides maintained a distance that allowed them to recognize each other’s faces, creating a breathtaking tension.

Either way, I waited for Yongyong to finish his search.

[I found it!]

It’s been a while since I worked hard.

I nodded after hearing the information about the location of the artificial divine beast’s essence from Yongyong.

There are a lot of eyes watching, so I don’t plan on going to look for it right away.

Anything that could become a witness should be put away early.

In the meantime, the patrol boat that completed the measurement turned its boat around, and the security guard also turned his boat around.

The coast guards seemed relieved that there were no more collisions.

“We can’t do anything about a ship that invades our territorial waters.”

Lee Seong-gyu looked angry as he watched the patrol boat moving away.

“If we sink it, there will be a big problem, right?”

“…yes. “All sorts of troublesome things will arise, starting with diplomatic issues.”

As the compensation given was small and a lot of troublesome work occurred, I had no choice but to do my best as a public servant.

It was really a policy aimed only at maintaining the status quo.

“It’ll be okay.”

“yes?”

“I won’t be able to come to measure in the future.”

“What is that…”

The moment Lee Seong-gyu was about to ask, a loud explosion rang out. Surprised, he turned his head and saw smoke billowing from the hull of the Japanese patrol boat, which then tilted rapidly and flipped over.

These are faces that don’t understand what’s going on.

In the original world, there are only a very small number of things that make sense.

Wouldn’t this also be thought of the same way?

I kindly explained it to the Coast Guards, who were still confused.

“The Japanese patrol ship was attacked by monsters.”

“….”

“You just need to know that.”
