I Became a Cop in the Superhero Genre

03: Even in this world, the police have a lot of trouble.

Villain Goblin. This guy is not a villain who appears and disappears in the novel, but a guy who appears several times. He comes out as a different guy than the other villains.

Dokkaebi are commonly referred to as ideological criminals who wield power for the purpose of condemning politicians or high-ranking people who have committed crimes, not simply wanting money or going wild.

The mayor of Seoul, who is said to be carrying out the kidnapping this time, was also accused of committing corruption in connection with a criminal organization in connection with the Cheonho-dong redevelopment fund.

However, the case was closed because the person who served as the mayor’s secretary committed suicide after writing a suicide note stating that he was the main culprit of the corruption.

It seems that the goblin didn’t like that. According to the novel, the way the goblin chose to break the power and find justice in the face of power that could not be punished within the bounds of the law was

It is to draw people’s attention by carrying out a kidnapping in broad daylight and expose the crime committed by the mayor to the world.

When I read it as a novel in my previous life, I remember that it was a character that a lot of people liked because he never touched civilians and attacked only those he defined as ‘tampering ducks’.

High-ranking people commit crimes and try to cover them up with power, but a character who fucks them up was a character that was hard to hate.

Speaking like this, I also quite liked the goblins in novels. As I said above, those who don’t know how to come down from a high place are breaking their heads. How can you hate that?

But now. My impression of meeting the goblin in real life was as follows.

“It sucks, really..”

The black walls surrounding Seoul City Hall. It looks like a withered tree branch, and there is an unpleasant structure made of withered hands connected in front.

The police and special forces, plus the capital’s defense forces, were flocking and encamping, and outside the control line, reporters were gathering to inform the current situation.

A sit-in at Seoul City Hall. There is no choice but to make a fuss with this alone, and among the hostages is the mayor who was in full swing, so it is a terrible disaster that the police do not want to even imagine.

What do you really do with this?

From our special investigation team, the special forces, and other high-ranking people are all making faces like they’ve been copied and pasted.

“[There is currently no information about the perpetrators of the sit-in at Seoul City Hall, and according to eyewitnesses who escaped before the city hall was sealed off by that unknown substance,

It is said that the incident occurred after an unidentified suspect wearing a goblin mask appeared at City Hall. Police are currently investigating the suspect, but the safety of those inside is unknown. Add to- ]”

On the TV installed in the tent of the investigation headquarters, the words of the report continue after watching the city hall. As the words continued, I could see the faces of the high-ranking people in the military as well as the high-ranking police officers getting distorted.

The presence of the supervillain at City Hall prompted the Metropolitan Defense Forces to mobilize as well, but the black walls remained intact even when bullets were inserted or bombs exploded, so there was nothing the outside police and military could do.

There was no contact from the inside, and thanks to some people who escaped right before the incident, the suspected being was able to be identified.

The suspect, wearing a goblin mask in hemp cloth, searched all the CCTVs and car black boxes around 500 meters from City Hall.

Since he suddenly appeared in front of City Hall Square, it is impossible to even identify where the suspect came from or who he is.

If I hadn’t known anything in a situation where the supervillain’s actions were obvious, I would have worried about the worst situation in which the madman inside killed all the citizens and even killed the mayor.

That’s also the case, don’t ask since he’s holding a sit-in with people and doesn’t even say what he wants.

It must be more crazy that there is no word from the police or the military other than the real me.

High-ranking executives gathered in another house, and seeing the scene where they were sincerely discussing ways to overcome this situation rather than fighting over issues of control or responsibility, I could tell how seriously they took the current situation-

“Then, this guy’s nickname is-“

“Based on eyewitness testimony, goblins would be better. Isn’t it better to have a name that you can tell just by looking at it?”

“Eh, I don’t even know what kind of ability it is, so can I give it a nickname like that?”

“But you can’t call it a gaksi mask, can you?”

… … What are those bastards?

It seems that we had been discussing the entry method and the purpose of the goblin a little while ago, but when I looked at it again, it was heating up to decide on a nickname.

I was speechless for a moment at the noisy sight of the police and military officers gathering together to decide on a different name, and other police officers and soldiers besides me looked at the officers in amazement.

I knew that most of the high-ranking people in this world view were incompetent people, but in this situation?

It’s not like we’re filming a gag show right now, just before the word “what the fuck” pops out, in addition to the executives’ eyes being strangely open.

At the word gag that popped into my mind, I realized who had created this stupid situation and stiffened my body.

The goblin’s superpower is witchcraft. It is the goblin’s superpower to do bizarre and ridiculous things.

There are some other restrictions, such as not being able to directly harm living beings or not being able to work if the mental power is strong, but it is a powerful and dangerous ability that can twist human perception.

With that ability, it wouldn’t be difficult to turn those high-ranking people into such idiots.

But the problem is that in order for a goblin to use its ability on a person, there is a restriction that it must be in close range, which means-

“Eolsoo!”

That the goblin is right nearby.

Along with Chu Im-sae, something black appeared in a clump like ink pouring on the table where the executives were gathered, and took the shape of a person.

Soon, it changed into the appearance of a monster wearing a goblin mask in white burlap clothes. A monster that appears as if a shadow is cast in the moonlight. Less than a second after the monster appeared, the people inside the tent shouted at the same time.

““Don’t move!!””

Everyone inside points guns at the sudden appearance of the monster and threatens the goblin. But the executives behind the goblins keep talking nonsense as if they were in another world.

The sight of him sitting leisurely with his officers behind him seemed to boast that he could harm them at any time.

… … I don’t have anything to say at a time like this, but the goblin mask is really fucking scary. It’s an ugly visual that I don’t want to see at night.

“Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself as a goblin from Andong who came here to Seoul.”

chin, chin. The people in the tent gasped and tensed at the sight of the goblin banging a danso on the palm of his hand and talking leisurely in a historical drama tone.

I thought it was relaxing alone with the gun pointed at the same way as the others.

In the episode where the goblin appeared, the goblin held the mayor hostage as it is now and openly demanded just two things.

One resumes the mayor’s corruption investigation, and the other interviews with New Hope, a hero who is different from himself, but equally seeks justice.

If re-investigation of the mayor’s corruption is the biggest purpose, then the meeting with New Hope is called out of personal curiosity.

He said he would kill the mayor if he didn’t achieve these two things, but compared to other idiots, he could be said to be on the moderate side.

Of course, from the standpoint of the reader who reads the novel, and from the standpoint of the cops dealing with it and the people at the scene, it’s the same shit.

Perhaps the fact that he appeared in person like this came to put that request into his mouth.

If things continue as the novel develops as I know, then after hearing the news, New Hope appears and talks with the goblins.

In the meantime, the mayor, who had been stabbed a lot, took the citizens hostage for what to do with the goblins. The end of this story is that the market is overheard without any fuss because it was relayed through the camera prepared by the goblin.

In this episode, the cops only play a background role.

Oh, if there’s one thing the cops do, it’s that they’re wary of New Hope, who’s been pointed out by goblins, and provide an opportunity for Sai to become friendly with New Hope?

Thinking about this made me feel a little more at ease.

Even though I was half forced out of the hospital, the goblin episode is an episode where no one gets hurt, so it’s okay to eat comfortably.

There may be subtle differences like during the ceremony, but even if there is a difference in this situation, wouldn’t I have nothing to do in this hostage situation?

As I tried to relax with that thought in mind, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly ran down my spine. As I rolled my eyes, I saw that the goblin mask’s eyes were fixed on me.

Realizing that I had been thinking too long, I fixed my handgun. He grabbed the pistol again and tightened his brow, showing signs of tension.

But even so, the goblin’s gaze doesn’t leave. Did it make you feel bad to see the police thinking about it?

I became more nervous and glared at the goblin, as if thinking about something, the goblin stopped shaking his hand and rested his chin on his chin.

“The reason I came here is because I have a request as a criminal who takes hostages at City Hall.”

“… … What are you asking for?”

At the Goblin’s words, the negotiator in the tent spoke. Basically, they say they do not negotiate with terrorists, but the hostages are many innocent citizens and the mayor of Seoul.

Even if you try to push it by force, the opponent, in addition to being a psychic, can’t penetrate that black wall even with the current troops, and is in a state of not knowing the internal situation.

In the middle of Seoul, some kind of disaster might happen, so even a negotiator would have no choice but to step up.

But such small things are done by other people besides me, and what will New Hope, our protagonist, do?

I blankly listened to the conversation between the negotiator and the goblin, and the goblin began to voice his demands, saying that he had no intention of killing innocent citizens.

“This is what I wish for. First, a reinvestigation of Seoul Mayor Kim Myung-sik’s corruption and murder teacher.”

“And secondly, tell them on the news that this goblin wants to have a peaceful conversation with the hero, New Hope, in that town hall.”

Requirements exactly as I remember. I was thinking that the goblin would go away soon as I felt my hand holding the pistol start to hurt.

“finally-“

“?”

A goblin that rhymes that it is the last time and exudes an atmosphere that there is something additional to ask for.

I had already expected that there might be some differences from the development of the novel, so I waited for what the goblin would say with half curiosity and half worry.

“Seobang Kim over there. I want to chat with you in there too. If you listen to these three requests, I promise that the innocent people will be taken for granted, and that the ducks inside will not be hurt.”

-Calling someone more, is there another bastard who committed corruption among the police?

In addition to New Hope, who is Kim Seo-bang who asked to have an additional conversation? I leisurely tried to find the person the goblin pointed to.

A dagger was pointed at me, but there wasn’t even one or two people behind me, so it must be one of them.

I really felt sorry for Seobang Kim, who was caught up in such a big incident, and wanted to see his face, but for some reason, people’s eyes are focused on me.

Human, I looked at the goblin and asked if I should tell him who Kim Seo-bang was, and the people behind me started to move away from their seats.

—-Oh, something is strange. Even though there are no more people behind me, the goblin’s Danso continues to point at me.

Something is wrong. In the midst of the uncomfortable air sinking into the tent with a sense of unspoken pressure. I asked again with the hope that it would not be possible.

“… … isn’t it me?”

“You are right Seobang Kim.”

“you-“

Mi Sergral.

why me why me I tried to argue, but before that, in accordance with the American spirit of not negotiating with terrorists, I tried to put a bullet in the goblin.

The goblin suddenly disappeared as if it had said everything, and I was immediately subdued.

Among the same detectives telling me to calm down and the detectives trying to find out why the goblin pointed at me, a day when I, who was forced to change my name to Kim Seo-bang, lay on the ground and spit curse words.

It was such an autumn when the sky was high and I was fucked.
