The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 112

“I made a mistake. Excuse me. My wish is to have a gift throughout my life. “I’ve given up on it now, but hearing it from a beginner, it has a special meaning.”

“it’s okay.”

Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression, which had been very excited, became much more relaxed.

That makes me feel at ease too.

When you reach the level of Cheon Myeong-guk, you know very well that there are no free gifts.

I will let you know when the improved version of Penta is completed.

You help me a lot, but I guess you should at least help me open a gift.

You wouldn’t misunderstand if I said you need heart blood, right?

“But it’s definitely groundbreaking. “It will definitely have a huge impact around the world.”

Cheon Myeong-guk said that research to detect gifts is in full swing around the world. I hadn’t heard of any completion of development before I went back in time, so there was a high probability that development wouldn’t be completed for another few decades.

I slowly moved on to the main topic.

“And I heard that a request for cooperation has come in from China.”

“Oh yeah. “I didn’t tell you because it was a diplomatic matter and had nothing to do with Choin.”

“Can I hear it?”

“yes.”

Cheon Myeong-guk nodded and told me about the request from China.

To put it simply, it was about cooperation in suppressing pirates rampant in the southern seas.

As the sea was taken over by monsters and air superiority was restricted, pirates became active.

I tried hitting the base with a missile, but it ended up irritating the flying monsters, so I refrained from doing so.

In the end, warships had to be mobilized to eradicate pirates, but it was not easy to chase pirates who risked their lives to open sea routes.

Rather, warships fell into traps and became sacrifices to sea monsters.

There are not many pirate invasions on the Korean Peninsula, but they are often seen on Jeju Island.

“I think there is another intention.”

“That’s right. “We are thinking about it in three main ways.”

The reason why China has made this proposal is that the first is to eradicate pirates as stated, and the second is to improve relations with Korea, and the last is to shift attention to the south rather than the north.

“In particular, China is showing a very sensitive response to territorial recovery.”

As South Korea becomes stronger, China’s influence decreases. Not only this, if monsters are pushed north during the process of reclaiming territory, the number of monsters crossing over to China will increase.

In other words, the more territory Korea recovers, the more monsters flock to China.

Korea becomes stronger and China suffers.

This was the decisive reason for China’s uproar.

That does not mean that China is a one-sided victim.

When Jiang Zedong was there, they also tried to take over the North Korean region by deploying all their awakened forces, saying that they had a southward policy.

The result was a failure. He says he thinks this side will make it, so let’s get along. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

There is no way the government is going to give up on reclaiming its territory anyway, so there is nothing to stop it from doing.

I went over the pirate story.

“Is there any possibility that pirates and Taipingmun are related?”

“Very high. No, I’m sure. Otherwise, there is no way the spread of the Taiping Gate would continue as it is.”

Pirates active in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia were linked to villain organizations in each country.

The largest of these is the Taiping Gate, which had a strong influence not only throughout China but also on the Indochina Peninsula.

Their ideology closely resembles the League, and small and medium-sized organizations have even been affiliated with the League.

The current Taiping Moon calls itself an equal collaborator with the League, but the government judges it to be half-owned.

“In particular, there is a high probability that the main body of pirates active in East Asia is the Taiping Gate.”

“….”

After listening to Cheon Myeong-guk, the puzzle was put together and the picture was completed.

If it is simply a villain organization operating in China, I have nothing to worry about. However, soon after, when two level 8 monsters appear, Taepyeongmun makes a surprise attack on Busan.

They landed on a ship driven by pirates.

Busan suffered enormous human and material damage as it was hit in an unexpected situation. There were thousands of people kidnapped at the time.

There is no reason to go first.

This is because we cannot overlook the disaster that will occur in the future.

It’s not that I have a different sense of justice than others. I have become too deeply integrated into this society to ignore the disaster that is sure to happen.

In that case, it would be better to deal with the villains in advance.

And the extinction of the Taiping Gate is a means of damaging the league. I can’t give up this good thing.

I asked Cheon Myeong-guk for data on pirates and the Taiping Gate.

“Superman.”

“yes.”

“What on earth are you planning?”

“It’s no big deal.”

“That can’t be possible. “I know you are planning to do something really big right now.”

Cheon Myeong-guk is already showing a gloomy expression.

Anyone who sees me will think I’m a troublemaker.

You can’t say you’ve seen the future. At times like this, I felt frustrated.

“I plan to carry out an independent operation.”

“Is it related to the Taiping Gate?”

“yes. Nothing is certain yet. I will try it first and report back when the results come out. “Because it could be nothing.”

“No, that solo operation is also reported to the superiors. “Please tell me in detail.”

“Because the president who is the subject of the report is not there. “I’ll let you know when I’m sure.”

“Now wait!”

Cheon Myeong-guk desperately called me, but I pretended not to hear him and left.

I headed to Busan that way.

* * *

What I felt upon arriving in Busan was that the entire city atmosphere was depressed.

The mayor of Busan resigned in disgrace and a by-election was held, and a mayor from the ruling party was elected, but he was wasting unnecessary energy as he clashed with the policies that Seong-soo Yoo had implemented.

As Yoo Seong-su tried to unite the southeastern region by calling for a very large Busan, it clashed with the ruling party’s policy of returning administrative districts to the way they were before.

It may be a noise that occurs as the person picking up and eating the soybean paste changes.

I don’t particularly think the ruling party is correct.

He clashed with Choi Hyo-jik over the lunchbox issue, and Yoo Joong-ho, a league spy, was also a member of the ruling party.

I just think that he is a bastard and if corruption comes to my attention, I just catch it at the right time.

The reason we are close to the president is not because we are from the ruling party, but because our codes match well.

I hoped this mayor of Busan would do the same.

Although there was no appointment, I requested a meeting with the mayor of Busan. Despite the sudden visit, the mayor of Busan welcomed me with a happy expression.

“This is Han Ki-yeol. “It is an honor to meet Superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”

Busan Mayor Han Ki-yeol is a former ruling party floor leader and close friend of Ji Chang-yong, who recently resigned, and is from the presidential faction.

I heard that the ruling party became estranged from the President when they distanced themselves from the Blue House, but I don’t know that much.

All I have to do is achieve the purpose I came here for. If we cooperate well, wouldn’t we be the best partners?

“This is Junho Choi.”

“Why did a high-ranking adept come to Busan?”

“I came here to carry out an independent operation.”

“….”

Han Ki-yeol’s face was tense.

Do you think I came to catch you like Yoo Seong-su?

These days, I feel like there are a lot of people making unnecessary misunderstandings.

“This has nothing to do with the mayor. Rather, I have come to ask for help.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Han Ki-yeol’s expression became much more relaxed.

There is talk going around that the next ruling party candidate may change as the ruling party leadership flies away.

I immediately stated my purpose.

“I would like to receive support from the Coast Guard.”

“Your request may be necessary, but smooth cooperation is possible only if you know what the mission is. “Excuse me, but for what reason do you want my support?”

“There is information that pirate activity has recently become more active in the South Sea of China.”

“I know. It is said that they often appear on Jeju Island, and recently, they have even appeared in front of Geoje Island.”

When I asked how to deal with it, they said all they could do was chase it away.

If you track it down, it will not be easy to capture it because pirates will lure it to where the sea monsters are.

“There is another reason why we cannot easily touch it. If we provoke pirates, the Taiping Gate could attack, so we are refraining from doing so. As you know, Taepyeongmun is the largest villain organization in Northeast Asia with two superhumans.”

It would be a terrible thing if that superhuman were to land in Busan.

Even if the ship you are on is sunk, you will survive like a cockroach.

Since the awakened forces of the Republic of Korea were deployed to the north to advance north, it would not be easy to stop them if the superhumans invaded.

But that will actually happen in the future.

In that respect, Han Ki-yeol is seeing the situation correctly.

At least we are taking a prepared stance. Now that I think about it, in my last life, the mayor of Busan would have been like Yoo Seong-su, so I would have been completely unprepared.

Since they are promoting smuggling and have ties to the league, there is no way they will be on high alert even if pirates come. It’s like leaving the master bedroom door open to a thief.

I unpacked the information.

“Taepyeongmun may land in Busan soon.”

“…So that’s why it happened.”

This is a different reaction than expected.

I thought it would be more surprising.

“Do you know anything?”

“We are conducting a large-scale search for Taipingmun forces in China. They say they are hiding because they are a branch organization, but they say they are hiding because they are under a lot of pressure. Even if they have a hiding place, they have to eat and cover to survive, so they need money, right?”

Han Ki-yeol said that when Yoo Seong-su was the mayor, there was a high probability that a significant portion of the smuggling trade would be from the Taiping Gate.

If you look at it another way, I’ve blown away the Taiping Gate’s money.

“Then the reason we need the Coast Guard’s help is to prevent Taiping Moon’s provocation?”

“you’re right. “I don’t want the back of my head to get itchy.”

They say they are pirates, but they are ultimately villains. If you remove it, the back of your head won’t itch.

Han Ki-yeol’s expression brightened.

“We will cooperate as much as possible.”

* * *

There was a ship crossing the South Sea in the darkness.

The captain standing on the deck shouted with bulging eyes.

“Investigate as closely as possible! “If you don’t, I know you’ll get angry!”

“You can barely make a fuss about something like this…”

The sailors complained, but obeyed orders obediently. I was busy looking for loopholes by checking the movements of ships patrolling the South Sea.

The majority of the crew on board were Chinese.

Although they pretended to be ordinary fishermen, they were pirates from the Water Dragon Corps under the Taiping Gate.

In front of a difficult opponent, he becomes a fisherman, but in front of a formidable ship, he turns into a pirate.

“We will soon be attacked from the gate. “If you want to earn a generous allowance, work hard from now on!”

“Okay.”

It was around this time that the ship they were driving quietly sailed up the South Sea, passed Geoje Island, and arrived near Busan.

There was a ship approaching quickly in the distance. Unlike them, it was not difficult to recognize the brightly lit boat.

“Captain! “Here comes the ship!”

“What ship?”

“It’s a coast guard ship!”

The captain’s expression crumpled.

“Why the coast guard ship? “Aren’t we supposed to be patrolling at this time?”

I thought I had a good idea of the patrol times after looking around a few times recently, but my expectations were wrong.

The goal today was to measure all the way to Busan. However, the situation went awry due to the sudden appearance of a coast guard ship.

The captain, who was looking at the sea off Busan beyond the Coast Guard ship with regretful eyes, spat and said to the helmsman.

“Turn the boat around. “You can shake it off, right?”

“it’s possible.”

The captain nodded in response to the helmsman’s answer.

“I’m going back.”

Because today is not the only opportunity.

It’s annoying, but you just have to fill out the form one more time.

It was time to turn the ship and make plans for the next time. Behind them, the screams of sailors were heard.

“Captain! Something landed on the coast guard ship. “It’s coming this way!”

“What nonsense…”

I could see the captain making an annoyed expression. They saw a human figure get off a coast guard ship and run across the sea to where they were.

The speed was terrifying.

He is an extraordinary talent. Did they know they were coming? A chill suddenly ran down my spine.

“Shoot! “Kick me out!”

Too doo doo!

As soon as he said that, bullets started raining down. Then, a translucent film appeared in front of Inyoung and deflected all the bullets.

Running across the sea and creating a force shield?

He was a talented person who exceeded expectations.

Even the sailors who were shooting felt it.

“Captain Seo! “The bullet doesn’t work.”

“What should I do?”

“Keep shooting! “At least slow down!”

However, the speed of the approaching human being was faster than the moving ship. Bullets poured down like rain, but they did not slow down Inyoung one bit.

This was when Inyoung approached the ship.

Sigh!

I jumped over tens of meters into the sea. With the illusion that the new model was overlapping with the moon, Inyoung took steps as if walking on air and descended towards the ship, drawing a large parabola.

The target was this ship.

“Stop it! Stop it! “Turn that guy into a beehive!”

The crew fired wildly at the command of the abusive captain.

It was then. Inyoung, who had never fought back until now, waved her hand in the sky.

Blue air currents reflecting the moonlight swirled and rushed.

A storm shaped like a knife swept across the deck.

The captain quickly drew his sword and took a defensive stance.

“Kill that guy…”

Patter!

It was hell on royalties. Before my eyes, the captain and the dozen or so crew members standing around were caught up and scattered into thousands of pieces.

Afterwards, the deck turned red.

Blood sprayed onto the faces of the sailors who barely escaped the aftermath.

They were freaked out.

“Hi!”

“Monster! “You have to run away!”

“Where are you running away to?”

But there was nowhere to run. All around was the endless sea.

Meanwhile, the protagonist who caused the blood storm landed on the boat. This is where the captain was standing a moment ago.

Unlike the man who displayed fearsome majesty, he was a pale young man.

The moment they encountered the emotionless eyes, several sailors wet themselves.

The man whose stomach was instantly overwhelmed opened his mouth.

“I take over this ship.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

The first mate protested, but what came back was a thunderbolt made of force.

Puzzle!

Wood clatter!

“Ouch! Wow! “Save me…”

Puck!

Caught in the force lightning, the navigator’s limbs were broken and his head, which was crawling on the floor, was crushed like tofu and he met his end.

Chilly silence fell once again.

The young man who was looking around opened his mouth.

“Who is dissatisfied?”

“….”

It didn’t exist.

“good. Then, let’s see someone who can speak Korean.”

“….”

“If you kill it until it shows up, you will learn.”

“I can do it.”

The helmsman, thoughtful, stepped forward. He revealed that he was Korean-Chinese.

The man who nodded said.

“We’re going to your base.”

“….”

At that moment, all kinds of thoughts came into the helmsman’s head. It would be better to go to the wrong place, buy some time, gather as much power as possible, and deal with him….

Quack!

“Ouch! Hehehe!”

The helmsman, with his shoulders slumped, fell to the floor. He was crawling on the floor like a bug when he made eye contact with the man and trembled like an aspen.

Chi-ik!

The man sprayed the restorative agent. The helmsman, who came to his senses after the pain subsided, lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact.

“If you lie, your head will be next.”

The helmsman, who had seen the Taiping Gate superhumans, realized something.

The man in front of them was crueler than they were, but he was never someone who would show mercy.

If you make a fuss one more time, I will kill you.

There were many people who would guide him to his base even if he died.

“I will go.”

“Let’s go.”

The helmsman, very frightened, began to steer the ship.
