chapter 37
07 : Even in this world, the police are chasing criminals.
Villain name minus. My name is Lee Jae-seok.
The first supervillain that New Hope faces in the novel, and the culprit who brought me to this special investigation team, the bastard.
This guy’s psychic powers are hallucinations and hypnosis. The ability to hallucinate not only works on people, but a powerful ability that can fool even the camera.
But the craziest thing about this guy isn’t hallucinations and hypnotic powers, it’s that he’s a son of a bitch who’s been accused of at least 23 murders and 18 murder-mongering, kidnappings, etc., even before he got superpowers.
The investigation was sluggish for a long time as there was no evidence of the crime committed by this bastard because he was smart, the family was the grandson of a conglomerate family, and he was even meticulous.
mid this year. Lee Jae-seok accidentally awakened his psychic powers, and while testing his abilities, he made the big mistake of leaving evidence.
I, who was in charge of the case at the time, teamed up with New Hope, who had been active as a hero for exactly one month, to arrest the bastard-
To think that Shival New Hope would demolish the whole building with evidence that this bastard secretly sliced people up.
Even thinking about it again, all the evidence I could barely find was blown away by New Hope’s goddamn performance. Lee Jae-seok was acquitted and released to society.
But even so, Lee Jae-seok, or Minus, was confined somewhere in the name of self-restraint by this guy’s family because he was hit hard by the media.
But is that guy here? To the police station? at this timing? This bastard has a grudge against me and came to kill me.
I clenched my fist hard enough to bleed. Pain ran from the palm to the brain, but there was no change in this landscape.
This guy’s psychic power is the power to twist and deceive people’s perception, but it is easily broken with a little pain. That’s why it gave me so much pain, but the fact that there is no change means that this scene is all true?
No, you can’t jump to conclusions. This guy has learned how to use drugs and the environment by researching how to use his abilities well while slicing innocent people himself.
Its ability is maximized by using alcohol, sleeping pills, or antipsychotic drugs, and only in a closed room, this guy has stopped New Hope.
If that’s the case, he might have done something before I came to the office. therefore… … Shall we pretend to be crazy and give it a shot? I clenched the handcuffs like knuckles and tightened my fists as I approached him.
That guy has superpowers, but he’s not as strong as the supervillains we’ve met so far.
I can ask how you fought New Hope if you weren’t physically strong.
The battle between this bastard and New Hope, which also appeared in the novel, says that the minus chick fought against New Hope by spraying drugs in a confined room and gathering and detonating illegal bombs and booby traps.
It was written that the reason the building collapsed was that New Hope was being manipulated by Minus’ powers, realized that everything he saw was an illusion, and tried to escape while trying to escape.
Minus made the main character see hallucinations that would be the most painful. Mina almost breaks down when she sees the hallucination of her family resenting her.
It was a scene in which he resolutely devoted himself for the innocent people who were kidnapped and murdered by Minus, and for the first time in his life, it was a scene that I remembered quite vividly even today, a long time ago.
I read what I read as a novel, and when I saw the mess in real life, the feeling I felt was ‘This is ridiculous’.
A kid who even gathered illegal explosives to catch a person is a kid, and a kid who smashed a building to catch it is a really great guy, isn’t he?
Thanks to New Hope’s splendid performance, that minus bastard was eventually released, but that was in the past.
The important thing now is that that bastard is a bastard who will hurt if you hit him once. At the same time, my fist hurts quite a bit.
I clenched my fists and strode towards him. He backed away with his characteristic sloppy smile and said.
“Wow. What do you think I did? I’m just a citizen who visits the police station. what did i kill? Assaulting an innocent citizen doesn’t seem like the job of a policeman of justice?”
“Oops. Do you have any reason to come to the police station office at this time? I’ll give you 5 seconds, so recite it. I’ll break your head first after 5 seconds.”
I’ve been stuck in my car for 3 months to catch this bastard, and considering that I’ve been wandering around, it’s not enough to let him go in one room. As I gnashed my teeth, Minus shrank inappropriately.
“… … You seem very angry. great. Let’s get straight to the point. I’m here to report. It’s because there’s someone who’s plotting against me lately. I have come to apply for protection.”
Saying that, he straightened his clothes. I rolled my head for a moment to understand the meaning of this bastard’s words, then quietly raised my middle finger and said.
“Thank you for your inquiry, citizen. Apply for personal protection to the court over there. It doesn’t look like you’re in any immediate danger, so there’s nothing the police can do about it.
More than that, innocent citizens like Niimi have done something, so even if you get hit by bird poop on the street and search for it, it’s your fate— and search for it.”
One hand isn’t enough. Eat a pair of buckwheat.
Application for personal protection? what good is this It’s good if you find the right legally.
Even if this bastard is a bastard you want to tear to death right away, there is no evidence to say that he is a bastard. So, as this bastard said, that bastard is a citizen protected by the law.
It sucks, but as long as I’m wearing a uniform, it’s true that I have to protect this bastard if someone attacks him. But that’s when it’s right in front of your eyes. Why are you fucking telling me what’s going on in the back room?
Did you know what you would do if you had a lot of money? Did the police look like a bitch? Will I shut my mouth after being hit hard once with what people call the people’s cane?
When I said it without hiding my emotions, the bastard contorted his face as if he was embarrassed and said with an awkward forced smile.
“Wow, you’ve become a little more direct than the last time I saw you? It’s different from what I’ve heard, and it’s different from the reaction I know. When you become famous, there seems to be nothing to see.”
“Fuck you.”
I can’t see anything, la. Certainly, when I was chasing this bastard, I was still paying attention to the surroundings and thinking about it. Social life is like that, and being a public servant is like that.
But these days, the psalmist devil Satan is laughing and screaming next to me, but what do people see in their eyes? Fuck the 3rd generation conglomerate.
When I shamelessly glared at the bastard, Minus withdrew his awkward smile. Then he looked at me without saying anything and spoke in a serious tone.
“Detective. I appreciate your abilities. I mean it. The policeman I met, the psychologist, most people don’t know what I was thinking, they didn’t follow me to the end, but you did. It’s really great.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Do you really have any intention of helping me? Do you have any intention of asking something bigger for this society?”
I’m sick of it. I thought it wasn’t worth listening to anymore and tried to punch him. Suddenly, I felt a little uncomfortable with what this guy was saying and glared at him.
Let’s think about who this guy is.
minus. A man who was the first villain the protagonist faced in the main story, but was released due to lack of evidence, and was forgotten in the novel as if he was half abandoned, but Sai revealed his identity and was found as a corpse.
But that’s from a novel, this place is reality. There is a reason why the serial killer couldn’t kill more and didn’t show up.
Let’s think. Minus is the son of a chaebol family, but after being identified as a suspect in a serial murder case, he was imprisoned and was told that he couldn’t even step out of his building.
But this guy is walking around outside like this and is in front of me like this.
No, in the first place, this guy appears at this timing when I discovered that a fellow detective was trying to prank me by doing behind the scenes? Even if you win, you’re too suspicious.
I looked back. Cha Jin-woo, who was completely stretched after being hit by me, showed no signs of getting up. But the word North Sapa that he mentioned still lingers in my head.
It is not absurd to say that I was instigated by the people above and tried to put drugs in my place.
However, the idiot detective who talked about the North Korean faction and the North Korean faction, who suddenly don’t know where he got the money from, are definitely gaining power. And the minuses that appeared in front of me.
All the evidence in front of my eyes says that the minus bastard plotted something behind my back and went wrong and now appeared in front of me. After all, I wanted to get revenge on me.
My rusty head tells me that since this guy showed up, he didn’t just come out for revenge. If you wanted revenge, you don’t have to show your face.
That bastard is prudent if you put it well, and if you put it badly, he’s a nerd among cowards. An idiot who wants to kill people, but doesn’t like to reveal himself and stand out.
Minus was so quiet and meticulous that even though he was from a conglomerate family, he didn’t do that common thing, so nothing was known until he became a suspect in a serial murder case.
If that kind of guy tries to get revenge on me and fails, he’ll try to use another method, and he’s not the guy who would show his face like this. and that face.
I couldn’t see it properly because of the eerie smile on his face, but when I looked closely, I could see a faint but sure expression of fear on his face.
“… … Did you really come to ask for help?”
“… … no. It’s a story about working together. Would you believe me if I told you that there is a greater evil behind this country?”
oh this kid It’s real. The corner of his mouth, which had been going up all along, slowly went down. What’s wrong with this kid Surely.
And if you ask me to anticipate the existence that a bastard like that will be so frightened and run to the police station to save me, I can only think of one person.
Did he reach Sai while trying to do something using the crumbling Buksapa?
Or, I don’t know if it’s because I got lucky and ate Buksapa to save my life, but this kid seems to be in a situation where he is on fire.
then what should i do Should I help her at least in order to save this child like Goblin and Yunami? If you ask me, I will of course deny it.
What do you think a bastard like that is pretty? Even if the goblin is the same criminal, he keeps the line, but this bastard is just a murder for pleasure.
I feel like I want to kill him right away, but he says he can’t because there is no evidence that this bastard did anything.
“Ah done. If you want help, either use the official protection application program, or admit and confess your wrongdoing and then go to the police station.”
“Did you not hear me? In this country, I have nothing. I know. I can’t imagine it at all. Would the detective understand if I said that he was the one who made the drug that awakens the psychic that is famous these days?”
The minus guy started to say something that I felt desperate as if he was trying to convince me. His narrowed eyes were weakly opened, and he said, ‘This will appeal to you too, right?’
I was not very impressed because I knew that bitch would be behind me anyway. Rather, from his words, I felt intuition that this incident was not planned by Sai.
If it was Sai, he wouldn’t handle things so clumsily, wouldn’t use trivial things like Buksapa, and wouldn’t deal with a guy who was so frightened that he didn’t know what to do with words.
This guy must be doing this because he is genuinely afraid of being unlucky enough to find out about its existence and die. It’s a pain. Chew. But I’m being chased by Sai too, what did I do wrong?
As I kept my mouth shut because I was about to fill up with despair for a moment, he started talking with a grin, perhaps because he thought I was embarrassed.
“I don’t know the name. However, there is a guy in the afterlife who calls himself ‘He’. Detective. Join me and deal with him. It catches the bigger evil.”
If it was possible for you and me, would I be doing this? I said scratching my head.
“No, that’s why. If you want to do that, go to the police and report it. Why are you fucking with me when I tell you to go to court and apply for a personal protection program?”
Oh, this is the police station. I picked up the printed record from my seat and asked the bastard if he would write it. Minus said with a trembling mouth.
“I knew. I thought you were smart.”
He slowly raised his hand. I clenched my fists thinking that we should fight properly now. Other superpowers don’t know, that bastard can be caught. No, I want to catch it.
I catch my breath and ignore my five senses, only one. Trust only your sixth sense and swing your fist-
Fu-wook!
“Huh! Black! Everything, if it wasn’t you… … me too! I am!”
A hot pain in the back. Grinding my teeth at the terrible pain of losing my flesh, I looked behind me, and Cha Jin-woo, who had passed out a moment ago, got up and stabbed me in the back.
The pain of tearing flesh and flowing blood. A drop or two of liquid with a fishy smell falls to the floor. I was conscious of that terrible pain… … .
….
…
.
Instead of losing it, he grabbed Cha Jin-woo’s head and slammed his head on the desk. The desk was smashed, bang! The son of a bitch rolls his eyes and collapses to the floor with a sound.
Fortunately, the organ was deflected. Then no problem. I shook my fist at Minus with the knuckles in handcuffs, and he hurriedly dodged my fist and said.
“crazy?! You were stabbed, but why are you still fine?!”
“bastard. Living as a detective, I get stabbed more often than I get stabbed at an oriental clinic. If this is right, it hurts less than an injection.”
If it’s not a dangerous part, there’s no problem, dude. Honestly, it hurts as fuck, but I didn’t want to pretend to be weak in front of the minus bastard, not even other guys.
I have to grit my teeth and fight to keep my respect. I didn’t pull out the knife to stop the bleeding and I strode closer to him, and Minus fell over waving his arms with his face painted white at the sight of me.
Yes, he confidently appeared in front of me and did something, so he believed in the bastard he bought and appeared. Then look for it now I gritted my teeth and went back to him- Uh wait. Why is my body not moving?
“It must have been really dangerous if I hadn’t unknowingly put medicine on the knife. If you’re this strong, my abilities wouldn’t have worked well in my normal state.”
Minus murmured while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief as he fell.
A body that doesn’t even lift a finger. Did you get hit by Sifal’s ability? when? It was clear that I had taken too much time listening to him.
Rather, how can you use fucking hypnosis and hallucinations to keep your body from moving at all? I want to grind my teeth, but I can’t even move my tongue, let alone my teeth.
Minus came up behind me and put his hand on the knife stuck in my back. Then he applied a little force to the handle and said, opening the wound.
“Originally, I was in danger by that person, and I tried to approach it in a way that helped me—but they say that life doesn’t know the future, right?”
“I’m really sorry. If someone your size cooperated, things would have been easier, but if you don’t cooperate, you’d better deal with it because you never know how it will be used. But don’t worry. Things will be handled neatly.”
Pudeudeuk, the wound opens. He tries to scream out in pain, but ironically, his body doesn’t move as if the sound has stopped coming out of his mouth.
Seeing that even though I felt the pain, whether it was hypnosis or hallucinations, it seemed that this guy had learned a new way to use his powers or made medicine.
You’re a son of a bitch who works so hard to kill people. I hated this kid even more.
“Look, if someone ever gets back here, the detective will be dead on a knife with his fingerprints on it. Of course the cops will check the CCTV—they will only show the man stabbing the detective.”
“The police will investigate – and eventually find out. That man was receiving back money from the Buksa faction, but he was in danger because they were being chased after by the detective’s performance.
He attacked the detective and murdered him with the feeling of getting revenge on him. He then fled and committed suicide at home. That’s how this case will end.”
Minus said that and smirked. If you think about this kid’s ability, what he’s doing right now won’t be filmed. Other people around are still invisible.
fuck. Grinding my teeth, I try to move my body somehow, but it doesn’t move. I can feel the sharpness of the blade embedded in Minus’s hand to the point where it’s creepy.
This guy’s ability tricks the camera, so if I die here, the CCTV will record exactly what he said, and Minus will run away.
This kid was, after all, a supervillain. A son of a bitch who transcends humanity. to die like this I just came to get a card to eat some fucking chicken, like this?
I slowly closed my eyes at the fishy smell in my mouth and the aura of death that weighed down my whole body.
“It’s the police! Stop right there!”
“Chit.”
Someone kicks up and comes in. Minus kicked his tongue and ran away right before he was completely finished.
In my hazy consciousness, I saw the gap approaching me.
She was originally a woman, not a man she had seen so often, and at the same time had a face she had never seen before.
