I Became a Cop in the Superhero Genre

04 : You can’t quit being a cop in this world

I looked at the blue USB in my hand.

A girl suddenly appeared. According to Shin Yu-mi’s testimony, there is also information about the ‘reason’ and the person who is the ’cause’ of supernatural powers.

I don’t know why a female student named Shin Yu-mi, no, her brother, Kim Yun-sik, the missing suspect, had it.

If this is real, even if it’s one in a million, or even one in a billion, the thing I’m holding has a risk level that, no matter how much I try to devalue it, can’t go down below the detonation button of a nuclear bomb.

But it’s in my hands right now.

In my heart, I wanted to get the key to this hell, even holy water, and then burn it while praying to God, but I couldn’t bear it.

A total of two reasons. First of all, there is the case of the poor kid who came to ask for the criminal to be caught when his family died.

After getting rid of the rest, it’s because the question is whether Sai will leave me alone.

Someone will ask what it means to get rid of the USB that contains its identity. Of course that is true.

If what’s inside is real evidence, usually just ‘pretend’ and get rid of it would be the only way to save me and the reporter Shin Yu-mi.

Since you said you didn’t know the contents, that would be enough.

‘Normal’ is that.

Now I have been reinstated without any damage even after doing the unprecedented madness of hitting the current mayor.

In the news and community, attention is focused on the only integrity police in Korea. The person who seems to have arranged all of this behind the scenes is none other than my assistant shooter Sai.

That is, it means this. This is the reason why she purposely gave me results until now. To entice this poor girl.

What would a child think if he heard the story of a police officer who was honest, courageous, and helping victims who were ignored by ordinary cops?

Wouldn’t that person be able to help him, he would have hope. Even if you can’t trust me, how much can an ordinary child endure alone in the face of the fear of being chased by someone?

Perhaps that child came to someone like me because he was trembling but had no other way.

Immediately after handing me the USB, Shin Yu-mi said that she was currently running away from an unknown place using her supernatural powers.

The words seemed to be threatening that even if they betrayed him, they would not be found, and the girl then handed her a number and left.

He didn’t say how he awakened his ability or what kind of ability it was, but it was clear that it was a very strong ability, considering that he was alive and well even after coming into Sai’s field of vision.

Of course, you can’t evade Sai’s pursuit with only strong ‘psychic powers’. And there is only one reason to be sure that all of this is Sai’s plan, despite other things that don’t make sense from common sense.

It is because doing a little irrational action for the ‘fun’ of trampling on a girl who is trembling in fear is an action worthy of ‘between’ in the dark world of this worldview.

That’s why, if I break this USB recklessly, it’s likely that I’ve ruined the plan between them, and they’ll kill me saying that I don’t need it anymore.

Conversely, if you spread this on the internet- you’ll die horribly though. The police cannot be trusted, the media cannot be trusted, and there is no trustworthy person in the special investigation team.

No, to be precise, no one has the ability to solve this case. Let’s say you go to find evidence of a crime she committed and bring a warrant.

Saiga, who is the only psychic in this world and the strongest psychic, who the author says cannot harm a hair even if he sends an army.

I saw the warrant and said, ‘Oops, I was wrong. I will handcuff myself and go to prison-‘Or should I kill everyone present and run away?

In this sense, the only thing I can trust is New Hope, but it’s not as strong as the New Hope I saw with my own eyes, and Minaga Sai.

If this world went as it was in the novel, I would think that I should hold on until then, since the same strong evil will end up with a happy ending in which justice defeats justice.

can i really win between? Even if Mina wins, it will be because she has accumulated experience step by step and gotten stronger over time.

What I’m going to ask for help right now is to throw a level 10 protagonist in front of a level 100 final boss and tell him to beat it. It just means dying together.

“- shit.”

curse comes out The shoulder brother, who was strangely close to me, did not approach me because he liked me, and I found out what he was up to, but there is no way to get back.

Is the only possible thing to do is to turn off the time as much as possible?

… … No, should I first check if the USB is genuine? If the contents in this are fake, all the worries above become useless.

I carefully turned on my laptop at home with trembling hands and tried to connect the USB. Seeing that such a dangerous thing is inside but not locked, the expectation that Kim Yun-sik is just paranoid-

“… … Is it real?”

I hurriedly pulled out the USB and tossed it on the floor to sprinkle salt on it.

“In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!!”

Shivering in fear and despair, about 5 minutes after throwing the salt, a field of white snow appeared in the living room of the house. fuck.

******

The morning was bright. When I realized that this world was a world in a novel, in the face of the ideal crisis, I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the sun rising without a sigh of sleep.

I even bought duct tape and put it in my inside pocket, afraid that a robber might break into my house and take my USB, and now I feel like I’m going to cry because my tail is so funny and pitiful.

The person who wrote the contents of the original novel, that is, the future events and the criminal, was also inserted into the crack in the wall in the corner of the room. He even bought this USB with duct tape and fixed it in his inside pocket.

I am not relieved, I am anxious for no reason, the sky is so damn clear that it seems to be teasing me, and my dissatisfaction with the world grows to the point that it even reaches the sky.

Seriously, why should I be like this? What sins did I commit in my previous life?

I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong except that when I was eating chicken, my brother took the leg he was trying to eat and ate both by himself.

“Vice-captain, it seems you haven’t had a good rest. huh.”

As I was standing in front of me wondering what life is, what life is, and what a chicken leg is, I heard the voice of someone I absolutely did not want to hear right now.

The moment I heard that voice, my head, which had been dazed by fatigue, woke up in an instant, and a chill ran through my body as if cold ice had touched it.

As if I hadn’t woken up yet, I had half-closed eyes. Her hair was frizzy as if she had slept in the night shift room without going home last night, and the toothbrush she was holding in her mouth was dripping with foam.

Single detectives who are far from home or who are too lazy to go sleep in the night shift room, and it was the usual appearance when we met in the morning.

I felt like I was waiting, knowing who I had met yesterday and what I had, and I was afraid even with my half-closed eyes.

Of course, on the outside, I pretended to be at peace as much as possible and exchanged formal greetings with Sai.

After talking about work, did you eat, etc., I can’t think of anything to say. As I was fiddling with the place where the USB was located on top of my coat out of anxiety, Sai asked in a puzzled tone.

“Why are you like that? Like someone who is tired of something.”

“… … Because I’m really sick of it.”

“Ah, that’s all right. don’t tell People still have to hide things like that.”

Talking nonsense, the relationship was disgusting, and they entered each other again.

I watched as we fell apart, then let out a sigh of relief as she disappeared from sight.

I let out a sigh of relief and rubbed my chest against the stuffiness I felt in my chest. Doesn’t it look like a hedgehog crouching down in fear?

I know what I’m in now, but I can’t continue to be frightened like this, and I can’t survive the beast of Sai in this way. If so, now is the time to solidify your resolve.

The choice is whether to fight against the monsters who manipulate public opinion, politics, and the prosecution as they please, or kneel down and beg for their lives.

No matter which one you choose, you will have to endure all the hardships in the future, but shouldn’t you choose a place where you are at least likely to live?

Even if I choose the latter, I don’t think Sai will save me. No, I’m sure you don’t intend to save it. What would save me, a mediocre detective, for being pretty?

If you are asked to choose between a future in which you will surely die and a future in which you have a slight chance of surviving, you will probably choose the latter.

– I’m really sorry about my situation.

While cursing and annoyed, we are thinking about how to catch the final boss of this worldview. A scene from last night flashed through my mind.

[‘Detective. please I don’t want anything else. please… … Let’s see what’s inside. That, Lee, if this helps you, find my brother when you have time… … . ‘]

On top of being a lazy, far from sincere cop, I’m a son of a bitch who only thinks about catching the world’s worst criminals when my life is a flashlight and I can’t get away.

Since he is wearing a police uniform, and has decided to do what suits the uniform. What should be done first

I picked up my cell phone and sent a message to Yumi Shin that I saved yesterday.

****

The first thing I did after sending a message to Shin Yu-mi was to check the wiretap or location tracker attached to me.

Yagi appeared at the place where I was eating with the class president before, so I thought many times that the madman might have attached a wiretapping device to me.

I actually checked several times, but nothing came out every time.

However, since the person I am going to talk about this time is a person, I had to explore more carefully and carefully, and it was an essential action.

I checked all the cell phone apps, and it was confirmed that I did not have a location tracker or wiretapping device attached to me at this time.

The location is not tracked in real time, but there is a way to find out if I show suspicious movements. Even if you’re like me, it’s natural that you’ll keep an eye on the guy who wants to take advantage of you.

So now- I have to take my eyes off of me even for a moment, but what should I do?

After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with an amazing method. It is, like any other detective, saying that an acquaintance is caught up in a case and trying to overlook it, and goes to a place where the eyes cannot reach.

There are no documents to be sorted out today anyway, and isn’t this country a world of academic ties? If someone you know has an incident and offers to help you, the police family will just let you go.

“You, an acquaintance? Hey, aren’t you the one who came to sell your organs?”

“Would you like to disappear the rest of your hair?”

-Anyway, I told the class president that I was going to visit for a while and got permission. After that, I was going to go straight to the place, but I decided to tell the assistant shooter Sai.

If it disappears without a word, you can suspect it. So I said to Sai-

“Vice-captain, are you an acquaintance? Vice-captain. It’s not like he’s asking you to buy something… … ?”

“Did I do anything wrong to you?”

What are you looking at me for?

I contemplated whether or not to kill the bastards who reacted in disbelief to the fact that I had acquaintances, but I let go of my anger and ran the car aimlessly moving here and there.

It was the last thing I did to check if someone was chasing me, but as expected. I didn’t see a car chasing me or anything suspicious.

It was rather unsettling that there was nothing. Saying that good is good, he changed his mind and turned around and headed to a familiar place.

The place I went to was a common alley in my neighborhood, but it was a place characterized by being strangely tidy, with no trash on the floor.

If you walk a bit, this place is crowded, there are no CCTVs, no cars, and most importantly, even the common gangsters don’t wander around.

The biggest reason is that New Hope is the route for going to and from school.

I put a cigarette in my mouth, lit it after a long time and inhaled the smoke. It was because it would be difficult without cigarettes now.

Failed to rob a bank near Cheonho Station. Suspect Kim Yun-sik, who later attacked the police and disappeared after fleeing.

I knew that this man had been murdered by Sai, and because I was afraid of her, I concluded that she was missing without proper investigation or questioning.

As a result, Kim Yun-sik, who somehow found out about the relationship and trembled with fear, was cold somewhere without even finding a body.

Yumi Shin, the only remaining blood relative under the sky, is still looking for her family because I did not work properly, and in addition, she is being chased by strangers because of a single USB.

The first investigation result of different surnames and no family and Shin Yu-mi’s testimony were different, so I investigated deeply with a curious mind, and found out that Shin Yu-mi and Kim Yun-sik were actually half-siblings.

I wondered why I couldn’t find out in the initial investigation, so I investigated more, and it seems that Kim Yun-shik’s family register was completely dug up and that the relationship was cut off quite a long time ago.

Or the Situation Room bastards are idiots. No, in this case, I could have figured it out with just a little more research, but it was my fault for not doing it.

Yes, what I have to do is apologize and protect this victim.

I don’t think it would have changed anything no matter what I did, but that’s something a guy in a police uniform shouldn’t say.

pestilence. I swear to God I’ve never thought of myself as a special, exceptional cop.

It was embarrassing to look at myself for doing such a dog thing.

I’m really ugly As he drew in his breath, disgusted by his own tail, he felt the smoke filling his lungs. Smoke with a deep sigh-

“Uh, detective?”

“Big!”

As I was about to let out a sigh, I heard Mina’s voice. Why are you here when you don’t have any chance to pass by this place on your way to school?

“That’s right… … Do you think it would be nice to pass by here? It just felt like that.”

As I glared at Mina, Mina slurred and scratched the back of her head. A face that seems to be here because it really feels that way.

But you’re late because you feel that way? Kids these days are great. I was dumbfounded and couldn’t think of anything to say.

“… … Aren’t you late now? good.”

“Yeah- Ah, but why is the detective here? polka dots? Is it okay for someone who is a symbol of integrity?”

“I’m scolded.”

The word symbol of integrity seemed to ridicule me especially today, but I couldn’t express that to him so I kept my mouth shut. For some reason, Mina’s expression was strange.

“… … Who are you meeting?”

Hard to say how, strange. He was smiling, but his red eyes seemed to shine brighter. Standing at the entrance of the alley, I think it might be because of the backlight.

“Because of the incident. I can’t listen to kids like you. Go quickly.”

“… … yes.”

Mina didn’t like my firm words, but she nodded and left. After making sure she left the alley and went all the way to the main street,

-It’s time. After making sure no one was around, I turned on the prepaid phone. And I slowly dialed the number I had been given, the child’s number.

– Tour

“[Hello, good morning. is a detective. Did you check the contents of the USB?]”

The call only rang once, but the call continued. What was contained in that electronic voice was a little bit of expectation and fear.

Hearing that voice, I felt a pain in my chest, as if to let me know that I also had a conscience.

“- okay. I have something to say about it.”

“[…] … What do you mean?]”

In the voice of the girl who asked me back, a hint of doubt and wariness hung over me.

I looked around for a while to make sure no one was there, and why I was here. He spoke slowly to apologize.

“I checked the contents. The story your brother told is true, and I also knew that there is a person who arbitrarily triggers the awakening of psychic powers that are currently happening across the country.”

“[Then, is the sword starting the investigation? My older brother-]”

Shin Yumi’s voice tone rises. Then I could feel the expectation of being able to catch that person and find Kim Yun-sik, but I shook my head.

“no. I didn’t come here just to let you know that the investigation has started.”

“[yes?]”

“I came today to tell you that your brother is most likely already dead and that we cannot start an investigation right away.”

“[that is… … what.]”

I heard a trembling voice over the phone. damn it The swear words came out of their own accord.

He also thought I was his last hope and reported it to the police, but what the cop says is ‘there’s little you can do and your family is probably dead’?

If I were Yumi Shin, she would have tried to kill me first. really. But that’s what I’m saying! fuck.

“The guy who kills your brother and causes the psychic awakening is dangerous. From the prosecution, the police, the National Assembly to the media, everything is under his hands.

No matter what you try to do with the contents of the USB, it will be buried in an instant, and you and I will die without doing anything.”

The more the words continue, the more the silence over the phone hurts. I know how terrifying this is. ‘Cause I’m so damn scared

But because of that, I hurriedly continued what I was going to say before this kid hung up.

“So, please wait. I will definitely find a way to catch him.”

“[…] … yes?]”

There is no way yet, but if the major events that she planned continue, Sai’s existence will inevitably be revealed on the surface, and if that happens, there will be a way somehow.

… … Honestly, I wish it were.

“If I don’t catch him, I will die. So I’ll catch… … I will definitely find out where your brother is. therefore… … I’m sorry I couldn’t help but say that.”

Finally, at the very end, I put an apology in my mouth.

After that, no matter what you curse at, you have to listen in silence. And let’s find a way to protect this child. I waited for the child to speak with a cigarette in my mouth. What I heard next was-

“[Ugh… … black… … !]”

“… … ?”

crying sound? The child is crying. I thought I was going to get angry, but suddenly I’m crying.

Are you crying because you can’t hold back your emotions? I tried to calm him down somehow, but he started crying louder.

In the midst of such panic- I saw a black shadow flying over the high building that makes the alley.

ㅡMina, that guy, what are you doing here without going to school? I frowned.
