I Became a Cop in the Superhero Genre

01 : I am a cop

I know it sounds out of the blue, but what comes to mind when you think of cops in the so-called superhero genre?

In my case, it’s the background characters that come in droves after the incident.

People who are incompetent enough to question how they graduated from the police academy.

Sometimes, it’s a character who is just enough to be similar to the main character, but eventually gets beaten by a supervillain and awakens the main character.

At worst, a corrupt public official colluding with the villains. Either he or she is jealous of, hates, or antagonizes the hero.

Originally, the job of a police officer is hard work and the image is low, but in a superhero film, the treatment of the police is strangely harsh.

If you think about why, the answer came out. Superheroes need to be active, but what can a hero do if the police are competent?

If you commit a crime, you are caught, you are judged by a legitimate legal system, and there is also a system to prevent crime, but what kind of superhero?

What is that, from what I saw on the Internet, I remember that there was a saying that a society that needs superheroes is a failed society-

… … Let’s put it mildly that we can’t imagine a world without superheroes.

Anyway, what I want to say is that being a cop is a very painful job in a world with superheroes.

don’t understand? good. So let’s try our imagination. Let’s say you’re a police officer with a sense of justice and sincerity. I’m trying to imagine that you, who became a police officer, worked so damn hard that you were recognized for your competence.

What does your future look like after that? Since you have just been recognized for your abilities, do you think you can rise to the top and achieve justice? No, no.

What you will see later is the guys who went up high by taking bribes and politicking, and you will see the pathetic juniors giving shit below.

In the end, you, who struggled in such a halfway position where you were cursed alone, met a supervillain who transcended human beings at the end- you don’t have to talk about it after that.

The life of a sincere cop in the superhero genre is like this.

Since the diligent juniors, seniors, and colleagues I’ve seen so far are similar, I, Seoul Gangdong-gu Homicide Division 1 Inspector Lee Mun-soo, decided to become a lazy cop who only lives by doing what I have to do.

Is it a little strange to say that you decided to become? By nature, I’m a bit out of character for a cop, but anyway.

First of all, there is a reason why I make the sound of banging like the above. It is because I am a reincarnated person.

… … know. I wonder if this kind of guy can be a police officer, but I hope you listen.

Even though I’m a reincarnated person, I don’t have any special psychic powers like those shown in normal novels, and I don’t have anything special like this. I’m just a person with a slightly strong body.

In my previous life, I was unlucky in an accident and died, and when I came to my senses, I was a child. After that, I grew up normally and became an adult.

Concerned about how to live my second life comfortably, I wanted to become a civil servant according to the truth I learned in my previous life that there would be no problem in eating and living once I became a civil servant.

But even in my current life, my head is as bad as in my previous life, and the only thing I can trust is my strong body. That’s why I wanted to become a police officer who could use this body well.

For a moment, he despaired of the fact that he had to pass the civil service exam before becoming a police officer.

I barely managed to pass the civil service exam and enter the police academy by overworking my brain to live and die. In the end, I was able to become a civil servant as I wished.

My body was tired and fucked up, and all of my juniors and juniors were like dogs.

All people, whether in past or present life, are sick people. Engraving the truth, I, with the mind of a Buddha, suffered more than receiving a salary.

I’m having trouble with the sudden appearance of criminals who use supernatural powers, and soon I hear the news that a strange pervert is flying in the sky and beating up gangsters.

As soon as I saw that strange guy’s name was New Hope and the appearance of New Hope, I realized that this world is the world in Secret Hero Rise, like a lightning strike.

In the novel Secret Hero Rise, one day, people suddenly develop strange supernatural powers, which adds to the confusion in society.

I remember that it was a novel about a protagonist who was uniquely gifted with psychic powers, who suffered a tragedy, prevented crimes with his own strength, and grew into a hero.

The city is in chaos, the government is incompetent, the police are corrupt, and the worldview is stepping into a post-apocalypse, but it was a very interesting novel that the main character somehow protects people.

But I am in that world.

Do you know how stupid I was? I thought it was just my second life, but in fact, that world is the world in the novel I saw in my previous life!

Now that I have reached an age where it is difficult to find another way, who will know the sorrow of the man who has found out the true identity of this world?

If I think about it, I could have known more quickly that this world was the world of a novel. The faces and names of the family members of the police station I got to know are familiar, but their personalities are also unique, like characters in a novel.

These days, people with supernatural powers are increasing, committing crimes, and in the middle of a headache, suddenly giving the bastards a nickname from above. Even that nickname is somehow familiar.

Realizing the truth of this world, at first I thought about taking off my clothes, but I soon made up my mind. I will live more quietly as a lazy cop than I am now.

I had a big accident not long ago, and as a homicide detective, I know that I could die at any time, but I didn’t want to die horribly in a fight between psychics.

That’s why I tried to spend my time doing what the cops would do in a superhero movie while taking care of the superhero and supervillain fight and getting a little stabbed by a local gangster.

But damn it, my life didn’t go the way I wanted it to.

Just like now.

“Detective! Minus why was he released! You saw what a terrible thing I did, Detective! how… … How could such a guy be released innocently… … ! There was so much evidence! What the hell is the law of this country, people! Can you do that!!”

A small-sized girl who is trembling and shedding tears, as if she couldn’t stand the anger. A popular hero among people these days. New Hope came to me and shouted as if arguing.

This newcomer hero, who has just started fighting as a hero, seemed unable to understand or have no intention of understanding the current situation in which supervillains were not judged for their evil deeds.

I rolled my eyes and looked at New Hope. He was wearing only a black full-body jacket and an aviation parka, and all he had on was an eye mask that a professional wrestler would use to cover his face.

It was questionable whether he really had any intention of hiding his identity, but that figure was certainly the same as the main character in the illustration in the novel that I remember.

The first time I met this hero was a month ago when I started taking charge of a mass murder case by a wealthy pervert named Minus.

And this morning, after this hero in front of me caught Minus and handed him over to me, Minus was released due to lack of evidence.

In the eyes of the little boy with two small heads, there was even a sense of betrayal, as if I was one with them. This petite kid’s real name is Mina.

A month ago was the first time we met in person because of hero work, but I just wondered what the face of being betrayed was.

I was holding my breath to swallow my anger as much as possible, but the kid said something that provoked me even more.

“Really, even the uncle… … Is it like that? How much did you get? how… … how… … ?”

“her.”

I wouldn’t do this if I ate what I was given.

Grinding my teeth at the kid’s tone of voice, who seemed unable to understand this situation, I took out a picture of the scene of the incident where Minus was arrested and showed it so that this kid could clearly understand the reason for this situation.

The scene photo I took reflexively the moment I went to the scene of the incident after being reported. A photo titled Evidence No. 1. What was in the picture was the appearance of a building that had completely collapsed.

“You completely destroyed the entire building, evidence or whatever, so there’s nothing left.”

What was taken in the picture was the ruins depicting the horrors of a war.

From a common sense point of view, it would be difficult for such a catastrophe to happen unless the missile exploded, but it was not the missile that created this ruin, but the collaboration between the superhero and the supervillain in front of us.

What this picture means is that it proves that the criminal named Minus is a ridiculous monster, but at the same time, it was also the cause of the supervillain Minus being acquitted due to lack of evidence.

“ah.”

As if understanding its meaning, New Hope’s eyes harden into dots. The desire to smoke a cigarette is like a chimney, but the kid in front of him is a minor. He’s a guy with no blood on his head.

I resisted the urge to smoke a cigarette. The venomous miasma in his eyes had subsided, but he still listened to the little boy who shouted and gnashed his teeth as if he couldn’t understand.

“Ugh?! Ha, but you took pictures of the evidence and sent them all! Isn’t that enough!?”

“Zeungeo~? Yummy, what do you think will happen if we take that to court? There are no witnesses. No actual evidence items. If it’s just a photo, that lawyer will say it’s fabrication, how do you beat that?”

At my words, I can see long black hair, and the red eyes under the eye mask are constantly shaking. Seriously, he seemed to think that a few pictures would solve everything.

It’s really ridiculous. I couldn’t stand it there, so I said a word.

“I really thought it would be okay. Hey, have you ever filled your head with rice water?”

Fuck you! Please! Does the law and the police look like fucking idiots just by looking at things like idiot detective Conan?! I’m a really bad guy too!! this is gross!!

Swallowing what I really wanted to say behind my back, I let out a sigh and sent the little boy home.

Well, in superhero movies, the hero was good, but the police and the law are so bad that the criminal is released. If it’s obvious, it’s an obvious story.

But what the hell am I supposed to do in a situation where months of hard work have gone to waste just because I’ve been screaming for months to catch that bastard, but that superhero lady just messed around with me?

It was really unfair and embarrassing, but I forcibly changed my mind and let go of my anger.

As I said above, although I am a reincarnated person, I am just one of many, many detectives who do not have supernatural powers and do not have anything special.

If this happened in this worldview, it had no choice but to be, and the gap between common sense and reality that I know is enormous, perhaps because of the worldview characteristics that detectives are incompetent, so it is meaningless to examine it like this.

This incident is also a simple event in which I will be branded as an incompetent cop by the main character, so even if we meet more than this, he will not expect anything from me, and there will be no meeting.

If you think about it, to meet that hero, you have to be involved with a supervillain like this, but I won’t be able to do that. They say they are making an investigation team specializing in chasing supervillains.

Did I mention it was a special investigation team dedicated to supervillains? It is a team that has been described in the novel. It is said that it is an investigative team that selects and gathers only the best among the police to deal with the supervillain.

In reality, it is a role like a combat power meter that shows the strength of supervillains, and a role that flies on a fictional day. This is a team that brings together the shittiest aspects of cops from the superhero genre.

But isn’t that something I should be concerned about, even in the detective department, as I’ve been relegated and my rating is low? In the special team, there will be people who are better than me, get beaten up by supervillains, and go to the hospital.

I thought so and tried to live as a moderately lazy cop like before, but-.

“Hey Moonsu. Nie is now part of a special investigation team dedicated to supervillains. I don’t have a lot of heads yet, but I’ve accumulated time, so it’s okay, right? do well.”

“Have you been shot in the brain stem?”

The chief suddenly tells me to go after him.

Don’t lie to me in ridiculous situations. how do i get there I would rather stand on duty for a fucking month in a row, so I knelt down to beg for help. But seeing me like that, the chief said as if laughing.

“Your performance is good these days, isn’t it? It seems that the special investigation team had their eyes on you after seeing that you ran the most when arresting Minus.”

Fuck! I thought I would die for my hard work!

I lost consciousness halfway at the futility of the world and the death sentence of the chief. When I came to my senses, I was already a member of the special investigation team dedicated to supervillains, and I had officially moved out.

Soon after, all the people with more time than me were stuck in the hospital, so I was covered with the confidence of being the vice-captain of the special investigation team, which I never wanted.

As I was idly stuck in the police station, mixed with remorse, regret, and despair about life, New Hope, who came to me at night, said with a mysterious face entwined with joy and guilt for some reason.

“Please take good care of me. Detective. Let’s protect the city together in the future. … … sorry. I couldn’t believe the detective, for a moment. I’m so sorry.”

… … Are high school girls these days more sensitive? I can’t keep up with the drop in mood.

I glared at New Hope with an insect-bitten face, but the feeling of being the vice-captain on my head did not go down.

good. Let’s sort it out first. Now I have become a police officer in a superhero genre novel, and among the police, I have become the vice-captain of a special investigation team that is always robbed by supervillains.

So, to sum this up in one word…

“Fuck.”

Recognizing that it was a fucking fucking situation, I submitted a report of transfer to the district unit. Of course, it was rejected.
