The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 383:

The news from Japan was delivered to me through Jin Se-jeong.

Interesting. Interesting.

If you look up the appropriate word in Japanese, it should be called omoshiroi.

I don’t know what they were thinking, but I never thought they would suggest something like this to me.

“They say they will come into my hands, but I can’t refuse.”

However, I felt somewhat absurd because I had never been hugged like this on my own.

The proposal made in Japan is to determine right and wrong between the current and former prime ministers over who is responsible.

You’re suggesting that to me. No matter how much I thought about it, there were parts I couldn’t understand.

Is this a new method of suicide?

“Can I just go to Japan first?”

After that, everything will work out.

While I was organizing my thoughts, the object I had been waiting for appeared.

A thin man wearing a white robe was approaching from a distance. When the guy with a muscular body put on a gown, it looked like it was going to explode at any moment.

“Jun Ho. You waited so long, right? sorry.”

“No, not really. “I came here suddenly. Are you okay?”

“What can you do with this much?”

The little guy brushed it off as if it was no big deal and began to explain why he had called me.

To put it simply, there was no need to catch villains anymore.

I understand that the more test subjects you have, the better, right?

“You’re already under suspicion for begging me to be Junho, right?”

“There is no evidence.”

“…Even if there is no evidence, everyone in the world will already be convinced that it is Junho.”

“Be sure.”

Anyway, even though there was no proof that I did it, everyone pointed at me.

[Actually, there is no one other than you who would do such a thing.]

Just like with Zhou Quan, there is no evidence, so it is very unfair.

[After you did it?]

Whether Yongyong was embarrassed or not, I continued the conversation with the brat.

“So why don’t we need a villain?”

“We have enough samples! What we need to do now is conduct deeper research using the data we have obtained.”

“okay?”

I responded with an obedient acceptance, but I guess the pimp didn’t see it that way.

“Something seems disappointing.”

“It was quite fun to catch a villain from another country.”

“You think catching villains is fun?”

“As each disappears one by one, the world becomes more peaceful.”

Since I stopped doing it without notice, I guess one little bit of fun has disappeared.

“….”

“It’s already been getting harder to catch villains these days, so it might be better to stop.”

“Good idea.”

It felt strange to be treated like this for something I no longer took action on.

“Now that I think about it, what about America?”

“what?”

“This is the situation these days.”

Then I told him about the proposal I had made in Japan.

When I told him that the current Prime Minister and the former Prime Minister had called me and were trying to determine right from wrong, the gray-faced little man shook his head.

“It’s crazy, everyone’s head is spinning. “Have you two come up with a new way to commit suicide?”

“Why do you think I’m going to kill you?”

“Then are you going to save me safely?”

“I can’t just leave it alone.”

“Look, then it’s right to die.”

I don’t know why I only think about death when my limbs can be broken or my limbs can be lost.

How on earth is my image formed in this guy’s mind?

[I think you are still more amazing in finding an image.]

“So what is America like?”

“…what a mess.”

“Tell me in detail.”

I heard something from Cheon Myeong-guk, but what local people saw might be different, so I asked for a detailed explanation.

The explanation that followed was not much different from Cheon Myeong-guk’s story.

“But if we postpone each other’s responsibilities, we won’t end up in an unfortunate situation that calls out to Junho!”

“Is it bad for me to go now?”

“If you go, someone will definitely die!”

Compared to places where civil war broke out after delaying responsibility, or places where people call me in to dispute responsibility, reason is alive and well.

“In my eyes, it looks like he doesn’t want to take responsibility and is trying his hardest to avoid it.”

“Do you want a quick decision?”

“If it lasts longer, you have to pay interest.”

“I will deliver it to the home country. Make a decision before Junho’s patience reaches its limit!”

The sad little man disappeared in front of me without saying goodbye.

[I’m sure there will be a fuss over who is responsible.]

It seems like I was unintentionally urging this on.

* * *

It was decided that I would go to Japan amidst the flow of things that were going from bad to worse.

I was going to make the decision and move alone, but Cheon Myeong-guk begged me to visit the Blue House before that, so I ended up going to the Blue House.

Cheon Myeong-guk looked at me with an expression filled with worry.

“You can’t kill them all.”

“Why not?”

“Yes, if that were the case, other places could avoid responsibility and go out on a limb.”

He said that was the act of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I was able to recall Zhou Quan’s case from Chen Ming-guk’s advice.

I dealt with a dictator who was more vicious than a villain by disguising it as an airplane accident, and although there was no evidence of my actual involvement, everyone thought I had a hand in the situation.

Since then, no one has come to me to ask for a gift.

Should it have been handled more cleverly?

However, just as the most perfect assassination is to eliminate all witnesses, the most natural death is to leave no body behind.

When you become a superhuman, this task becomes very difficult.

If I had been smart enough, I would have been able to attract superhumans even now.

It’s such a shame.

“I won’t kill you.”

“…You should refrain from trying too hard to turn someone into an asshole.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do.”

“I believe that if you are a superhuman, you will find a good way. “I believe in the superman.”

As he said that, Cheon Myeong-guk put a lot of pressure on me.

If they say it’s not okay to kill it or break its limbs, how on earth are they supposed to deal with it? I wondered if this meant breaking off all its limbs.

I’m worried.

How can we make them responsible without killing them or twisting their limbs?

…Why not just rip out his head?

[Are you saying that?]

Of course, I was joking too. I was joking.

[No one thinks what you say is a joke. Wouldn’t you rather think that my sincerity was leaking out? I can 100% guarantee this.]

…Okay, I know about this.

No matter what I said, the other person would 100% interpret it in an extreme way.

There were times when I felt unfair because there were absurd misunderstandings.

[They say you brought this on yourself. Doesn’t it feel comfortable to do that? It’s all your fault anyway.]

It’s no wonder that Yongyong, who criticizes her, is even more obnoxious.

[I’m just kindly giving you the facts. I recommend that you reflect on yourself instead of blaming me.]

Let’s stop talking.

After accepting Cheon Myeong-guk’s advice and adjusting my schedule, I headed to Japan.

When I arrived at the airport after a short flight, a familiar face came to greet me.

He was a man in his early 40s with an impressive angular jaw and bewildered eyes.

It was Park Young-hoo who accompanied me in Fukuoka. He is said to have been promoted repeatedly until he reached the position of team leader.

“Long time no see.”

“It is an honor to assist the Adept again.”

“I can speak Japanese now, but I’m annoying the team leader.”

“Of course it is something that must be done. “If you stay here, you will face many inconveniences, but I will cover them.”

“I will see if anything happens.”

“…Haha, trivial cultural differences can lead to absurd misunderstandings. “My role is to mediate to prevent unnecessary conflicts, so you can treat me like air.”

You proudly say that you followed up with surveillance.

“Who gave the order?”

Since he belongs to the Awakened Security Office, I thought he was the head of the Awakened Security Office.

“You are the President.”

“is it so?”

“yes. “The President believes in Choin, but since the opponents are such shameless politicians, he is concerned that the situation will turn into the worst situation.”

Since it was a request from Cheon Myeong-guk, not anyone else, it could not have been taken lightly.

As a simulation owner, the accidents he talks about occurred with a high probability. Because appropriate response measures were prepared each time, it never turned into a major accident.

Does Cheon Myeong-guk think an accident will happen today?

“You don’t have to worry. “Nothing like killing or decapitating will happen.”

“….”

I said these words to reassure myself, but Park Young-hoo’s face turned white.

[No matter what you say, it will sound like you are killing them both.]

Is that so? I think it’s not easy to reassure someone.

“Let’s go.”

I got into the car prepared by Park Young-hoo and headed straight to my accommodation.

* * *

News of Choi Jun-ho’s entry was immediately announced at the Prime Minister’s official residence. Prime Minister Higa, who was watching this situation from beginning to end, summoned the Minister of Awakening, who had become a close friend of his.

“You’re here. “What did Choi Jun-ho’s condition look like?”

“It looked pretty good. “I was even joking with the attendant.”

“It’s not as serious as you think. That means we can produce the best results depending on how we respond.”

The ‘best outcome’ referred to here was not the beautiful ending found in a novel where no one is responsible.

This meant not taking responsibility themselves and shifting all responsibility to Takeda.

Of course, the possibility of that happening was slim. However, the plan was to have Takeda’s head blown off even if he gave up an arm.

“Be mindful. “If you can’t convince Choi Jun-ho, neither you nor I will be safe.”

“I know very well.”

“I can’t stress this enough. “If this theory of responsibility becomes ours, both you and I could lose our lives.”

“…the materials prepared are perfect. “With Choi Jun-ho coming, all responsibility will be shouldered by the former Prime Minister.”

These were not words coming from a person who was once called Prime Minister Takeda’s right-hand man and confidant.

Prime Minister Higa smiled in satisfaction because what he said just now was like a declaration of complete separation.

“Okay, it’s nice to see your determination.”

“Instead, I hope the Prime Minister understands that he shares the same fate as me.”

“of course. “This opportunity came to me as a member of a minority group in the first place, so I don’t think it’s enough to share in the fruits.”

It will be the former prime minister’s side who takes full responsibility and falls.

It was a negotiation that I approached with such confidence.

There has been news that Takeda is fully prepared, but the reason why Prime Minister Higa is confident is because there is evidence that the entire process of putting pressure on Shinsung Group was carried out by the former Prime Minister.

The other side would try to shift responsibility for the settlement to this side, but the plan was to appeal to the fact that the level was not specifically raised and that there was room for reconsideration.

I tried to instill bad feelings toward the other person with the material prepared in that way, but an unexpected situation occurred.

“Junho Choi refused to receive the data!”

“why?”

“I do not know.”

“Could it have been taken over by Takeda?”

But that expectation was also wrong. Choi Jun-ho also rejected the materials provided by Takeda.

What on earth is Choi Jun-ho thinking?

When the calculations became complicated, Park Young-hoo, sent by Choi Jun-ho, made a suggestion.

“The Adept’s opinion is that it is difficult to grasp the true truth if each person only repeats their position over and over again.”

“So what do you want to do?”

“Mr. Choin wants to bring both sides together in one place to examine the authenticity of the information.”

“You’re not putting them all in one place because you’re too lazy to look for them, right?”

“…Probably not. Probably.”

There was no confidence in Park Young-hoo’s voice.
