chapter 17
17 episodes
The villain who had been arrested leaked information.
With all the hunters from the National Security Agency gathered in a large conference room, Joo-Ho Jung started the meeting.
“The beast of the league has finally reached this point.”
He began to bring out information that had not been revealed until now.
“The Puppeteer, the Black Reaper, the Executioner.”
“··········!”
“This is a list of villains the league is in contact with.”
The three are currently at the pinnacle of villains active in Korea.
The puppeteer is analyzed to have lower combat power compared to the level 7, but it is called the immortal god who never dies by using the puppet without revealing the body.
The Black Reaper and Executioner are also level 7 Awakened villains who slaughtered countless people.
It didn’t look like anything special to me. Are these guys to be wary of that much? I do not know.
Come to think of it, I know where the Korean branch of the league that I destroyed is located. I’ll have to visit it sometime when I have time.
“All three are villains known for acting alone. But if they are in the league, we cannot rule out the possibility of going together.”
“It’s hell.”
“It seems that level 8 is an issue that needs to be dispatched.”
“If they had joined forces, they would have already moved. It means there is still time. Let’s take action before it happens.”
As the meeting was about to end with that, Dahyun Jeong raised her hand.
“Chief. What happened to the information about the expunger?”
“The eraser was the bait. There was nothing.”
“Then what about tracking the expunger?”
“There is no harvest. It might be a villain who didn’t exist from the beginning.”
“The Expunger is a villain that has been revealed.”
“I know, it’s just a matter of thinking if it’s a new villain. Maybe the expunger is a villain sent from the league to convince those three.”
“··········!”
Everyone was astonished. On the one hand, I was afraid of the league’s endless potential. A level 8 villain is coming just for conciliation work? It’s unbelievable.
Well.
As the person who was listening to the expunger, it was only admiring the imagination that stretched out to infinity.
If this happens, the league that was trying to attract me so much is halfway there, but did it achieve its goal?
“This is only speculation. What is clear is that, despite the existence of the eraser, it could not be found. You must be free to imagine. This information is extraordinary.”
“Come to think of it, Berserker is not on the list.”
“I would have been excluded because I was insane. But we can’t be vigilant, so when the trail is revealed, we’ll try to figure out where it is.”
I remember the secret story I heard from the boss. Berserker, why is he chasing the Eraser?
Berserker, Lee Kwang-jin. Estimated level of 44 at the age of 7. This villain is a villain who usually shows a noble appearance like a monk, but goes crazy when he enters battle.
It was evaluated as the most dangerous among the aforementioned villains because it destroyed everything in sight regardless of enemy or enemy.
If it is stimulated incorrectly, it will run rampant, so government agencies have also issued an access ban.
But there is something strange about the information.
Lee Kwang-jin was also a person I remember in my last life.
Because it’s the villain I killed.
But now that I think about it, I don’t think he’s level 7.
The guy I dealt with when I was a heirloom was one of the strongest among those I killed. If I had to classify it, wouldn’t it be close to level 8? Or is it because there is a difference between now and 15 years from now, it was level 7 at this time?
“It’s best not to provoke Berserkers.”
If you don’t touch it, you’re locked up in silence. This is the perception of Berserker.
So, starting with the National Guard, several organizations are keeping their distance from Berserker.
We need to know why he’s looking for an expunger, so we’ll see him at some point. That would be his last. He’s going to be killed anyway, so I thought I’d check his skills.
Come to think of it, there is one more strange thing.
The League didn’t approach Berserker because he was crazy, but he approached me, a blood-blooded person.

Maybe I thought the conversation would work.
Am I less crazy than Berserker?
“·················ogue.”
While I was deep in thought, Joo-Ho Jung finished the meeting.
“But Berserker is also a villain that needs to be eliminated at any time. You can access it from the League whenever you feel you can control it. Always be careful.”
“All right.”

After the meeting, on the way home from work.
I put together a flood of information in my head, from tracking the expunger to the league.
It was a big shock to me that I was secretly chasing the Eradicator.
Because I thought the case was closed by deleting Big Ten. However, he grabbed a small clue and persistently pursued it.
The problem is that neither I nor Jung Da-hyun knew about the process.
This information made me think of a hypothesis.

Maybe I’m being suspicious?
Jung Joo-ho thinks of me as a level 8 talented person. And the eraser also turned out to be level 8 when it first appeared.
Then you can think like this.
Is it likely that two Level 8 Superman will appear recently, or are they more likely to be the same person?
It’s just my guess, but it’s something I can be suspicious of.
So I decided to become a black agent. As he is directly under the director, he will be able to watch Jung Joo-ho from his side.
What should I do if Joo-Ho Jung is convinced that I am the one to be expunged?
“You should be careful.”
Fortunately, the eraser is a one-time villain that came out to end the relationship with Oh Jong-yeop.
If he doesn’t appear again, won’t people think he’s a fictional villain?
How hard was it to keep it from getting noticed? It doesn’t feel like working hard is worthwhile.
“Did you just wipe it off?”
However, I could not pass it by because I knew how far Big Ten’s organization grew and what kind of evil he was doing to Jong-yeop Oh.

Meanwhile, I arrived at the place where the Korean branch of the league was located.
Located in Bupyeong, Incheon, it is close to Seoul, and I think it was chosen because of Incheon International Airport and nearby ports.
“No.”
I had high hopes, though.
It seems that the Korean branch of the league at this time did not have a proper form yet. At that time, the building was also quite splendid, but now there is an abandoned building that would not be strange even if it collapsed right away.
Putting up a new building here. The league must have had a lot of money.
“Hey, what are you?”
There were five villains in the abandoned building, as expected. There was a lot of rubbish rolling on the floor from where it was stolen.
After crushing the limbs of a Pyramira that was not even wanted, he contacted a nearby response team and took over the villain.
Seeing the officials of the response team making a fuss saying that the condition is serious, I laughed bitterly inwardly.
One more overpressure gun will be added.
Still, the uninvited guests have been removed, so I hope that the Korean branch of the league will come here in the future.
Is this a long-term investment?
When I returned home from work, I found my droopy little sister.
Wearing a white short-sleeved box tee and black dolphin pants, the guy comfortably occupied the entire sofa and watched TV while lying down.
“Uh, are you here?”
One foot lift.
“You seem to be getting lazy.”
“Ah, I didn’t know that work life would be this hard. I feel like I’m going to go faster when I go.”
“Is it worth doing?”
“If you can’t even do this, you have to hit me. And you’re getting a lot of money. You have to pay for the meal to be able to claim that you are of divine origin.”
“·················ogue.”
I looked at Yoon-hee without saying anything for a moment.
“What, what? Why is it snowing?”
“what.”
“Right! felt it Can you see me trying to roll over now? Right?”
“not really. I just thought about how far I learned from Dahyun.”
“don’t worry. The villain countermeasures are perfect. It was very radical because it was stained by someone or someone.”
“That would be the villain’s response. But it is also important to know how well prepared you are for monsters.”
“What, what! Why are you saying such a scary thing?”
If Dahyun Jung had prepared for the villain, the Holy Guild would have prepared a countermeasure against the monster.
However, monsters are completely different types of monsters from villains.
The first hunt is when the hunters who hunt monsters die the most, and at this time, the new hunter lacks immunity to heterogeneous creatures.
Even if the strong seniors support it, the hunting is not easy enough that a frozen newcomer is safe.
“The Holy Guild will prepare it, but in my opinion, it’s not enough.”
“Are you referring to the highest level of guild preparation in Korea right now?”
“It’s life-threatening.”
“Oh, I don’t know. I’ve had enough audiovisual training, and I’ve been educated on what kind of adverse reactions I have. I practiced first aid methods, how to take recovery drugs, and how to retreat several times.”
“It’s still not enough.”
The best thing to do is to take them directly to the scene and face the monsters.
But it’s absurd to drop it alone, and it’s hard to have proper immunity because I’m the one you can rely on when you’re next to me.
It is most clearly engraved when exposed raw.
“I’m going to find a way.”
“No, can’t we just go overboard? This is a bit overprotective.”
“It’s because you’re my brother.”

My brother who couldn’t spread his wings because of me. Now that I’m at the starting point, all I can do is help you fly.
“·················ogue.”
Yoon-hee stared at him without saying a word.
He seemed to understand my concerns.
“Wow, chicken meat! Oh, I almost vomited.”
“·················ogue.”
It wasn’t.

Se-hee Lee, who contacted me the day before, made an appointment, and met the next day, was the pinnacle of splendid beauty as if I had seen it for the first time.
Cross your legs and relax, grab a cup of coffee and smile.
“It’s nice to have an appointment like this in advance.”
Is this the confidence of full makeup? Yoon Hee also said that her confidence before and after makeup was the difference between heaven and earth.
“Because of my brother.”
“ah! Yoon Hee. Do you have any problems?”
“How about in the guild?”
“I am a beauty in all directions. He has good interpersonal skills, excellent skills, and has the best adaptability. There is no hesitation in accepting new things. To the extent that I thought it was incompetent that I could not find such talented people myself. ah! I was just talking.”
“I heard you are going on your first hunt soon.”
“yes! We are preparing everything at the guild level.”
With a confident expression, Lee Se-hee mentioned that the Holy Guild was preparing. It was great. If I had an Awakened child, I wanted to trust it.
“I’m going to train Yoon-hee, but I want to go against the divine guild policy.”
“Because of training separately?”
“What about the guild policy?”
“does not matter. The affiliation is divine, but each of us is working hard to become stronger. I personally invite coaches to make up for the shortcomings. However, inhuman or abnormal training is prohibited. . . . , is it not?”
He was looking at me with narrowed eyes.
What did I do to make you so anxious?
It’s all for my brother.
“Tell me quickly. What is it?”
“Can’t we just go over it?”
“I was going to skip it, but seeing Junho’s attitude, I have to listen. tell me Otherwise, I’ll tell Yoon-hee everything. We have to protect our guild members.”
You realize that I haven’t asked Yoon-hee’s permission yet. He’s also an eye-catcher.
“The problem is that I am under the power of the monster, so I am imitating the spirit of the monster.”
“Is that possible?”
“I mean, it’s possible.”
“·················ogue.”
Lee Se-hee, who was worried as she folded her hands and tapped the back of her hand with her index finger, said.
“Then do it to me first.”
“why?”
“My personal curiosity is half, and as the general management team leader of the Shinsung Guild, I have half the senses. If we can artificially mimic the power of monsters in a similar way, I think we will be able to reduce the damage much more than we do now.”
“is it?”
There’s no need to let go of the subject that walked in.
And, from my point of view, Se-hee Lee seems to like to be treated a bit rough.
“like. Then I’ll get my business out of the way.”
“What dragon?”
“No, you didn’t even think about handing over that expensive thing, did you?”
Rather, Lee Se-hee was embarrassed and beat me up. I remember now.
“Oh, that?”
“I just finished measuring the value. I am sorry that it took a long time because it was an item that did not exist before.”
“it’s okay.”
“After setting the price, I was worried about how to pay. As Junho knows, if a large sum comes in suddenly, the National Tax Service will track it down.”
“If it’s the Holy Guild, we’ll look into it more.”
“Right. When we make a mistake, we’re watching closely. So I decided that in-kind is better to pay the price safely. How is it?”
“I’m comfortable with that too.”
“Then it will be easier to talk about.”
Lee Se-hee said with a smile.
“I’ve been thinking about which items Junho needs the most. So I researched what was going on around Junho, and seeing that Junho wasn’t very greedy for money, I found an answer on my own.”
Lee Se-hee put the 007 briefcase lying on the floor on the table, entered the password, and opened it. It was filled with a brightly colored recovery agent.
“Did you have a lot of trouble with the excessive suppression of villains? If you feel severe after suppression, use this recovery agent. Then the broken limbs will be fully recovered!”
“Then you don’t want to fight again.”
“I have to show you an example.”
Se-hee Lee, who got up from her seat, brought two sweets packed in a box. Then he dropped one on the floor and stomped on it with high heels.
“The villain that Junho suppressed is kind of like this.”
The box of confectionery that was lifted was torn to shreds and the contents were crumbling.
“But this is what happens when you use restoratives.”
It pretends to spray a healing agent in the air, and then puts the contents into an intact box.
“Healing agents are intended to restore only the appearance, not the contents. The outside is fine, but the inside has bone disease. To the old-fashioned superiors, it looks like they have suppressed it. Isn’t that the thing Junho needs the most right now?”
“·················ogue.”
I stared at the 007 bag Lee Se-hee held out.
“Usually, the heart of a 6th-grade monster is 1 billion, but with a new processing method, we set a premium of 3 billion and prepared 100. If this is not enough, you can always ask for more. We can continue to supply it.”
After talking confidently, Se-hee Lee looked at me with eyes full of anticipation.
“How is it? What gift did I bring?”
“·················ogue.”
All of a sudden, I became a public servant hunter, and the incidents and accidents that took place crossed my mind.
Villains with broken limbs in my hands. The number of cases of excessive suppression that went up one by one after their screams.
But what if you restore it to its original state with that potion?
Not a perfect crime, but a total arrest.
“Lee Se-hee.”
“yes!”
“…you are a genius.”
