chapter 50
50 – Forced Streaming
A shaking subway inside.
A boy named Maru Kim was watching a game video with his earphones plugged in as usual.
Then the screen suddenly changed.
“Oh, what is it?”
Looks like you’re not alone. People’s annoyed voices came from all over the place.
I tried manipulating the smartphone, but the screen did not change. He pressed the power button next to it. I was thinking of rebooting. Even that didn’t work.
“It will turn.”
He thought about removing the battery, but realized that it was impossible. That’s also true, smartphones these days come as an all-in-one.
The video continued. Toilet somewhere.
It was mosaic-treated, but I understood at a glance that a murder had occurred. It was such a brutal scene.
The one who appeared on the screen was a handsome man who would be considered handsome even by the same man. And they were two beauties that fit the word Gyeonggukji color.
“Uh, Cha Yeon-hwa and Baek Eun-sol?”
Kim Maru’s parents were prosecutors. She often hangs out with celebrities in the political and business circles, and she herself is often forced into parties. I saw them both there.
Cha Yeon-hwa was similar to when she was famous as a model, but Baek Eun-sol was somehow different.
Eunsol Baek, whom she met before, had dead eyes. She seemed to have no interest in the world. Not now. She was like a normal woman, her face full of emotion.
“It looks much better. But what are you doing?”
The answer was given immediately. A man and a woman in their 50s attacked the three people who had walked out of the bathroom.
Kim Maru memorized many of the villain’s faces under the influence of her parents. Most of the gangsters in the video were wanted villains.
“This, no way… Are you streaming a crime scene?”
Who?
For what purpose?
Since there is a chat window function, she opened it once.
[Is this live?]
[Live broadcast of the murder scene hahahahaha]
[Chunlim TV broadcasting janitor’s story?]
[f*ck! It was a phonegame promotion match! Get my in-game screen back! Shibaaa!]
[Wakyapa! The black haired girl is so pretty]
[Do! Is Baek Eun-sol your friend? Don’t recklessly relay Baek Eun-sol’s portrait right is precious.]
[Where did my screen go? Where did my screen go? Where did my screen go? Where did my screen go?]
[You’ve been kidnapped.]
[It was said that it was a mosaic, but the level of broadcasting is too high. I think it can have a bad effect on children’s emotions.]
[So now, is this real?]
-Is this real?
-It’s annoying because the screen changes.
-Who is pretty.
Most of the responses were similar.
The battle began in earnest.
Cha Yeon-hwa interfered in the space and tore off the limbs of 5 villains. Although it was mosaic-processed, it was quite a gore scene.
Baek Eun-sol used Baek Kwang’s protection to burn or freeze the villain at a speed that could not be captured in the video.
“…… Fights well.”
But it was only in the first moment that they had the upper hand.
It’s not easy to use powerful protection. The number of villains the two women subdued has exceeded a dozen, but there are still many villains left.
As if the villains had no fear of pain, they rushed at them recklessly. The distance closed all at once, and the fight turned into a hand-to-hand combat.
The clothes of the two beauties were torn and ripped off by a knife.
It’s only been a minute since the fight started, but the villain’s momentum was intense. Cha Yeon-hwa was stabbed in his abdomen and Baek Eun-sol was stabbed in his left shoulder.
Did the weapon contain poison that inhibited hemostasis? Blood continued to leak out, but neither of them had time to use the potion. A fierce battle ensued.
A dirty line came out in the video.
The villains said to the two beauties, “It’s a pretty good look.”, “It must be easy to violate.” It was such an insulting remark.
There were many such people in the chat window.
It’s worth seeing that it’s peeled off.
I want to wear that too.
“Crazy bastards.”
No matter how much anonymity is guaranteed for an online chat window, people shook their heads at the hate between dicks.
Honestly speaking, the handsome man was the most miserable. Because blood was often gushing out of the body.
But somehow, as if there were no wounds, he recovered in an instant.
From that appearance, Kim Maru noticed the identity of the handsome man.
“Is it a healing factor? Then this man must be Bi Eun-hyeon!”
It’s just that he didn’t know about Bi Eun-hyeon, but he was famous since he was an ordinary person.
From his innate appearance, he was slapped on the cheek by an elf, and he was even co-representative of the world’s most famous alchemy workshop, V&T Industries.
The three people appearing in the video are known as freshmen who broke the Baekwoon entrance exam record. In other words, they were talented people who were evaluated as the future of heroes.
“I understand now.”
Kim Maru thought.
Perhaps this is a declaration of war by the villain forces against the hero.
The existence of villain forces has been treated as a conspiracy theory until now. However, a similar number of villains appeared at the same time. It could no longer be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.
‘The purpose must be to kill talented people who will become a threat in the future.’
In reality, Riel was broadcasting live at the request of Bi Eun-hyeon, and the purpose of the villain side was also unrelated to the hero. However, people who watched the broadcast judged similarly to Kim Maru.
The fight is now over 10 minutes.
The corpses are scattered, and the ground is covered with blood. In fact, there were many places where there were puddles of blood. Maybe that’s why you could feel the fishy smell over the video.
“What does a hero do? We have to save the kids quickly!”
In the subway, the woman shouted.
“Yes, it should have appeared by now! They are our future!”
The other man also shouted.
Generally, the dispatch time of a hero is known to be 3 minutes. In fact, it is rare that a dispatch takes place in such a short time.
A hero with a strong professional spirit like Baek Yeon-ho would go to the scene of the incident, even if he was alone, as soon as he received a report from his area. Most heroes wait until at least three people are gathered.
Because it’s safe.
I can’t say this is necessarily bad. If you rush in alone and die, no one will take responsibility.
They are people too. In some ways, it was natural to secure one’s own safety before being dispatched to the scene of an incident.
However, because of this response, the dispatch of heroes was often far outside the stipulated time.
Still, there are many A-class or higher heroes residing in the capital or downtown area, so the response is quick.
However, this was not the case in the outlying areas where the three people were dispatched.
Even if you report it, the hero’s dispatch will be delayed.
Safe Zone.
This was the reality of the hero system that Bi Eun-hyeon was trying to accuse through Riel.
Puff! Cha Yeon-hwa was overtaken. It was the moment when the female villain, who had picked up the dagger in reverse, was about to insert her sword.
“Ugh!”
Bee Eun-hyeon’s palm was pierced by a dagger instead, protecting Cha Yeon-hwa.
Riel took that moment close-up like a scene from an action movie.
It is said that the body can be regenerated, but the pain is felt as it is. Even so, he throws himself to protect his comrades.
A sample of self-sacrifice.
Citizens’ expressions brightened. However, a nail bat was swung at Bi Eun-hyeon’s head. As he fell down, the faces of the citizens were distorted again.
“You can’t die, if you die.”
There were a lot of people muttering that while watching the video.
Healing Factor is also a blessing.
It was a natural concern that there would be limits to use.
As if responding to a wish, he rose again. He started the fight by brandishing his stiletto.
Puppuppuppup!
Four swords pierced the body. Even if you hit him, he recovers like an immortal and attacks again.
I’d rather stick a knife into it and restrict its movement. Unfortunately, that was a misjudgment.
“Can I put precious weapons on me?”
When the Healing Factor was activated, the part of the blade embedded in the body completely disappeared.
I grabbed the embarrassed villain’s face and slammed it to the ground.
Boom!
Her head was broken and the villain couldn’t move anymore.
You are still just a student.
Skills are not overwhelming compared to villains.
But Bieunhyeon was like an iron pillar that never fell.
Watching the video, Kim Maru’s heart thumped.
He himself is a congenital awakener. He possesses a blessing that is useful in battle. But he hated being sick, and he was afraid to fight.
Even if I don’t respond, the hero will protect me in case of emergency. I believed so.
But it wasn’t.
Heroes in reality were slower to mobilize than expected.
In the end, the only thing that can save oneself in a dangerous situation is oneself.
I realized through the video I am watching now.
***
While fighting, I sent Riel telepathy.
[How is the reaction to the video?]
[Good.]
A hologram window appeared before my eyes. It was statistical data that monitored and recorded the reactions of those who forcibly watched the video.
The heroes of this world are too familiar to the public. It was safe to say that he was no different from the police officer in charge of the Awakened.
For that reason, when an incident occurs, everyone waits for them to be protected.
In fact, even when monsters invaded the world, there were so many people who had the power to confront them but only insisted on being protected.
It can’t go on like this.
I wanted citizens to have a consciousness against evil.
Fortunately, that seems to have been done to some degree…….
It’s already 15 minutes before the engagement.
‘No matter what, the hero is too late.’
[Did you report it?]
[I did that a long time ago.]
[Why is it so late?]
[I checked the CCTV.]
[Uh.]
[That…… , All the heroes who were dispatched were killed.]
Riel stuttered her slightly.
[Currently, an S-class villain is coming here.]
