chapter 22
22 episodes
The situation surrounding Choi Jun-ho is changing rapidly. At one point, watching the runaway run out of his hands, Jung Joo-ho covered his face with his hands and moaned.
“In the end, it can’t be stopped.”
From the direct pointing of Choi Jun-ho in ‘Up’ to the understanding of brainwashing and the interest of the United States. By now, other large guilds as well as other countries will be busy analyzing a new big fish called ‘head breaker’.
To be honest, Choi Jun-ho is too big a fish to catch in the National Guard.
Even if he said he would take care of his back, he was treated poorly compared to his skill level.
The ability to be level 8 is almost certain, and the young age of being in 20s made it possible to see how bright the future was. It is an attractive property that can receive the best treatment anywhere in the world.
He wanted to keep him tied up, but there was no way to force him, who was only the head of a department.
“But he is dangerous.”
The problem is that Choi Jun-ho is a dangerous person.
Although he was a civil servant of the villain task force, there were times when he felt more dangerous than a villain.
Fortunately, he is not a person who pursues wealth, fame, or power. However, the problem was the radical handwriting and creepy ideas that would have been left even after all the advantages were eliminated.
Will the world ever understand that?
And what if there is even a clash between the powerful and the public?
All of the above-mentioned splendid possibilities will become darkness for the world.
To be honest, he seemed more crazy than Berserker.
I just didn’t say such harsh words because I was under him.
Choi Jun-ho tried his best to keep the circumstances surrounding him from going too radically, but the situation has now reached a level that he can’t stop.
“If I don’t believe in God, I think I will pray to God.”
I hope the world can accept that monster.
Rather than worrying about Choi Jun-ho, Jung Joo-ho was more worried about the world that would be exposed to Choi Jun-ho unprotected.
Smart!
“come in.”
The subordinate who came inside bowed his head and reported.
“The necessary information is ready.”
“already? How are the villains?”
“That’s it, that….”
“Tell me more.”
“Everyone has become like a Wang team leader. One shouted that he would speak out, but it was too late because he spoke in Chinese. sorry.”
“Huh, really.”
Using brainwashing and thinking that it was safe was a strange thing in itself.
The scariest part of Choi Jun-ho is that he has no mercy for the opponent defined as ‘evil’.
“And another instruction came from above.”
“What instructions?”
“Please report on the process of obtaining information in detail.”
“It seems that Choi Jun-ho’s identity has been exposed.”
Is it the work of base iron? I used to make fun of myself for being married. But since we’re the same married man anyway, can’t we take it as a concept of self-destruction? It’s like he’s a badass guy.
As soon as I make a protest phone call, the base iron jumps.
– Not me!
“Really?”
– Rather, I was the one who tried to protect the security. I hid it tightly and tried to use it a few more times, but it sucks.
so hung up on the phone.
It is impossible to conclude that the culprit is base iron. Choi Jun-ho should have been churning all over the place.
Still, it might have been a luxury to wish for perfect security to be maintained.
In the end, realizing that he was running towards the end, Jung Joo-ho wrinkled his expression.

The movement of the Berserker and the puppeteer became visible in earnest. When I asked about the trend of the Holy Guild, he said it was similar.
“Anyway, there are discussions going on inside the guild as well. Reducing the number of hunting has an effect on guild sales.”
What Yoon Hee said was economic logic.
The hearts and by-products of monsters hunted by hunters belonging to the Holy Guild are scattered to workshops and factories around the world, reprocessed and transformed into high-value-added products.
A decrease in the number of hunting meant a downturn in the related industry, leading to a decline in the group’s own sales and a decrease in market vigor. The word economic downturn was a magic word that could overcome regulations no matter what disasters and disasters came.
In this case, a sweeping sweep of villains is fine.
I know the villains I know, but there are quite a lot of heart and by-products that villains hunt monsters from time to time.
“Is your brother serious enough to reduce the number of hunting?”
“It’s dangerous because two annoying villains have joined forces. But if you’re afraid of the villain, you won’t be able to hunt.”
“Am I thinking the same? Now I’m slowly paying for my meals, and I’m dying of frustration because of this all of a sudden. I didn’t really think much of the government policy, so why are there so many restrictions? annoying! ah! That does not mean that there are dissatisfaction with the National Security Agency.”
“Originally, the government is like that.”
Organizations in charge of practical tasks, including the National Security Agency, moved quickly. But above that, the yangbans who had their feet in the political world were ineffective.
It is best for politicians to periodically change the water. It would be pleasant if all the humans on the list on the ledger were blown away.
“Perhaps we have a lot of family members, so if there is no coercion, we won’t cut down on hunting.”
“Then you will be actively hunting.”
“Is that so? The water is also rising these days!”
“It is the most dangerous when you have confidence. Always be careful.”
When hunting monsters, defending a hundred times is not enough. Unexpected accidents can happen when you leave your strength in front of monsters and don’t do your best.
“I don’t do it when hunting, so don’t worry.”
“And be careful, as puppeteers tend to keep an eye on talented hunters.”
“Then you’re saying you’re talented if you’re chosen by a puppeteer?”
“Is that a good thing?”
Who the hell are you so reckless? At my bruise, Yoon-hee said confidently.
“Anyway, you were chosen. Of course, if you see it, you should run away immediately.”
“Did the Holy Guild warn you about the puppeteer?”
“The identity of the puppeteer has never been revealed, and all they do is handle different dolls and have different uses. ah! If you found the level 7 Jung Hae-sol’s body in the past and saw it, run away immediately. Even if you kill them anyway, they’re dolls, so there won’t be any damage.”
“That would be the best.”
It was difficult for me to give advice as I had never met a puppeteer when I was a bloodbath.
One thing is clear, there’s no such thing as a good guy hiding behind the scenes. That doesn’t mean he’s the right guy.
In the end, it meant killing everyone.
“I wear a bracelet when I go out. If there is any danger, call me immediately.”
“Because it’s so extreme. All right, I do.”
“Keep in mind. Even if I help you, you have to believe in yourself when you are in danger. Don’t do anything you can to keep me going until I get there.”
“okay.”
Yoon-hee nodded her head so as not to be joking any more.

When a plan to catch the Berserker and the Puppeteer was devised and the powers were selected from each department, an unexpected guest visited the National Guard Bureau.
“It’s nice to see the future that will light up Korea like this. I am Younghwan Kim.”
A sharp impression and sharp eyes like a snake. An old man with a skinny body.
On the outside, he might look like an old man with a bit of personality, but the weight his name brought was never light.
Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan.
Tinnitus Red Snake.
It is known that once you choose a target, you will surely see blood with its unique tenacity and ruthlessness. He was notorious for being a villain and a large guild when he was young, but he is the only level 8 superman belonging to the government.
Jung Joo-ho, who left the director’s office at the news of Kim Young-hwan’s visit, bowed his head deeply.
“Welcome, Minister. I didn’t expect you to come this far. It is an honor for you to come.”
“It’s been a while, Juho. How have you been?”
“Yes. Good job.”
“I’m here to give you some instructions on the revision of this operation. Do you think the National Guard’s performance is good these days? You’ve been stubborn for a long time, and now you seem to have figured out how to get results.”
“Please go inside.”
Kim Young-hwan, who came inside after being guided, looked around the director’s office and said:
“Isn’t it when you gradually reached level 8 too? You’ve been here for quite some time, haven’t you? You have to follow me.”
“Haha, that step was not easy. These days, I am giving up halfway through.”
“Unfortunately, it is also important to understand your subject. You decided to figure out your subject.”
“There are a lot of people who are ignorant and goofy, wouldn’t it be nice to have at least one person who understands their subject?”
“Looking at his tongue, it seems he hasn’t resigned yet.”
Jung Joo-ho, who pretended not to hear and did not respond, remembered what he had said a while ago and asked carefully.
“However, there are modifications to the operation.”
“I thought of a better operation. It’s an efficient way to catch both the Berserker and the Puppeteer at the same time.”
“·················ogue.”
Seeing the dry smile, Jung Joo-ho felt goosebumps. In Kim’s thoughts, there is no such thing as minimizing damage, only ‘efficiency’ exists.
Kim Young-hwan is the embodiment of living power. He is a cold-hearted person who can sacrifice himself without blinking an eye in order to gain more power.
In fact, 10 years ago, there was an incident in which over 100 civil servant hunters were killed in an operation directly led by Kim Young-hwan.
It was an operation that could have reduced the damage much if it had been more careful with time. However, it was canceled due to Kim Young-hwan’s insistence that he wanted to achieve results in line with the end of the second half.
With such a record, the amendment he would bring was dangerous.
Kim Young-hwan showed a dry smile, whether he knew what Jung Joo-ho was thinking or not.
“There are some pretty famous names these days. Headbreaker?”
“Yes? Yes. He is a junior who still lacks a lot.”
“Still, I might be able to say good-bye to my juniors.”
Jung Joo-ho, who could not accept the meaning positively, hardened his expression.
“First, let’s talk about the plan. I want to talk to everyone, but let’s get them together.”
“All right.”
Feeling ominous, Jung Joo-ho invited hunters belonging to the National Security Agency to the conference room.

the ugliness of lust.
This is the image of Kim Young-hwan I see.
Although he is 70 years old this year, and he is at an age when he has to think about retiring, he is busy exercising his influence with the title of honorary minister.
Although the government had already passed his heyday, he was not able to recommend retirement because he was the only superman belonging to the government.
No, at this point, it would be right for Kim Young-hwan to interfere with the emergence of a new superman.
In the future, I know that Kim Young-hwan will work on the front lines for another 10 years and then retire at the age of 80.
He was an old man who thoroughly stood in a place where he shined and paid for results no matter what sacrifices he made. At the age of 70, the number of women was enormous.
Such an old man couldn’t pass by looking at Jeong Da-hyun.
“Heh heh, how have you been? You have become more beautiful.”
“···yes.”
“There has been a lot of progress since then. But it’s time to get stuck in the wall. It is important to work hard and work hard, but it is a time when choice and concentration are important.”
Jeong Da-hyun flinched at the gaze that was entangled like a snake. The old man was running wild without knowing how ugly he was.
“Come to me sometime. Bringing talents like yours into bloom is also the hobby of this old man.”
“thank you.”
“Minister. What is the changed operation?”
Jung Joo-ho, who could not see the fussing, intervened.
“This operation isn’t bad, but it’s unclear if we can definitely get them both. So I try to edit and direct it myself. If you follow my strategy, you will be able to catch the Berserker as well as the Puppeteer.”
Anxiety appeared on everyone’s faces at the confident voice.
As far as I know, this old man’s commanding ability is below average.
“First of all, because there are so many of us, we build a huge siege network, and the elite forces take the lead and pour overwhelming firepower.”
Kim Young-hwan explained the revised operation in a confident voice. He was sure he could catch Berserker and the Puppeteer, but the faces of the listeners were not bright.
He divided his elite power in half and faced the two, and at the decisive moment, Kim Young-hwan came forward and said that he would hunt Berserker, driving momentum and catch the puppeteer.
It sounds plausible, but in the end, he said that he was going to use the public servant hunters as consumables to drain the power of the villains and then take over the ball.
Jung Joo-ho pointed out that part.
“The damage will be great.”
“The moment the two villains join forces, the damage is unavoidable. You have to catch it when you can, even if it takes some damage.”
It sounds like you’re trying to dominate the ball by yourself.
It is inevitable that sacrifices may occur, but when you open the package, it means that you must sacrifice some strength so that you can catch it yourself.
Is it the realm of talent to be so brazen? To be honest, I’m not shy, so I don’t think I’d be able to do it even if I told him to.
I’ll just go ahead and break my neck.
“There may be victims among you. But don’t worry. I will send them both to Hell under my name.”
“·················ogue.”
I couldn’t contain my admiration for the iron-faced skin that exceeded my imagination.
“Dogsing is an art.”
