I Became a Cop in the Superhero Genre

02 : This is what the police are in this world

One day in September, when the number of rejections for the transfer report at the district unit was 19.

After staring straight ahead for hours, the helmet on my head is so heavy that my head shakes like a sick chicken.

It had been raining non-stop for several days already, as if it was about to wipe out the world, and the high humidity made the inside of the container stinky, hot, and painful, as if mold had grown.

see. It’s been 2 days and 8 hours since I’ve been stuck in this hellish container. By the time I started to miss the sun and was convinced that if I could get out of here, I could take off my clothes and dance.

If someone sees my tail, they might ask why I’m stuck in a container with such a scary face. Surely anyone who sees my tail now will.

But what can I do? I’m a cop, a detective Even if you are a police officer in the superhero genre, isn’t the job the police do the same? It’s about chasing down the criminals and catching them.

Waiting in the same place for several days or running until the soles of your shoes are torn because you don’t know where the person you’re chasing is is an ordinary, everyday thing.

I am, and all detectives working in Korea are like that. And after working so hard, I felt that it felt really good to catch the bad boy at the end, even if it was a guy like me.

I’m sure it was, but when I remembered what I had just seen, I was thinking furiously that it might be better to just beat them all up and run away.

“… … Vice-captain. He just entered, right?”

“maybe? Together with the 16 people who look like sticks. Eight of them seem to have entered the property before that… … I will turn.”

After seeing the muscular monsters who seemed to be unable to walk around and those who looked like stilts enter the redevelopment complex, I hoped that what I saw now was something I had seen in vain in the rain.

However, the detective sitting in the container with me also let out a blank laugh, not sure if he had seen the same thing, or if it was resignation or despair at my words.

Apart from the other newcomers outside Starex right now, even this guy, who had eaten some time, seemed afraid of this situation.

Well, it’s unavoidable. The guy we’re chasing right now is a supervillain with superpowers who can rip people to death with his bare hands and even eat people like raw meat, so it’s only natural that he’s scary, even if he’s a veteran.

But even such a guy is gathering power.

We first came to investigate why Sikki has been stuck in this redevelopment area for so long, and as expected, he will try to sell medicine as he did before.

I simply thought that he was trying to eat people with that place as his base, but when I came here, that crazy guy was gathering people.

If that monster gathers people, it doesn’t just need detectives or commandos, it needs an army.

You might say that you’re overdoing it. Considering the name value and danger of that guy, the biggest problem is that not only ordinary criminals but also other superpowers may gather.

“Damn it. This is a big problem. I never thought someone with psychic powers would gather people.”

The detective who came to apply panicked and opened his mouth, and I quietly nodded my head at his words.

Until now, there have been no reports of psychics committing crimes in groups, so it would be like that, but I knew this would happen.

Because there was a description of this kind of thing in the novel. But that wasn’t the episode where Sikki appeared, it was a little later.

The reason why I didn’t think that Sikki would gather people in the first place was because his personality was ridiculously dirty, and

This is because in the novel, there was no description that this guy moved with other people, and all he did was fight the main character while he was alone in the redevelopment complex.

I want to know what this is, but I haven’t had time to think about it.

It could be that I misremembered, or that bastard was a gangster in the first place, so it might be that he wanted to move with a few of them.

What should I do now, or what can I do?

I am the only special investigation team dispatched here, and most of them were six juniors who did not have much experience, and they had a pistol in their hand.

In addition, it was a trump card, and the special armor [corruption] made for countering supervillains was thrown away – the answer is simple.

“It’s too much for us. retreat. retreat. That’s something that even a real army needs to call in.”

“… … but.”

At my words, the detective full of a sense of justice made a puzzled face.

This detective was not a special response team that only elites gathered, but he seemed to have a sense of justice no less than him.

But what can an ordinary cop with a pistol wrapped in trash made of corruption do to an asshole who can tear people apart with his bare hands and not even get bullets into them?

If we all go crazy and rush in, it will all be a friendly lunch, so I said firmly to the detective next to me.

“I am the person in charge of the field, so listen to me. Throw off your power protection and run away as quickly as possible.

You can ask for reinforcements next time. If you say something from above, I will take responsibility, so let’s all go.”

It would be nice if I took responsibility for being fired or suspended from this team. Since I was hiding my true feelings, the detective who was listening next to me asked with a mysterious expression as if something was wrong.

“- Protection gear? If Sikki is really in there, isn’t it more dangerous without this… … ?”

“It is difficult to move it. It’s a lung class that can’t even block a kitchen knife. I don’t even know how many people are inside.

If I run into a gang after wearing something like that, what should I do while running away, but can I move around wearing that trash?”

At my words, the detective hardened his face and took off the protective gear he was wearing underneath his uniform and started tossing it in the corner like throwing away garbage.

I thought that if there were more reinforcements, I might not have run away like this, but my reason told me that the result would have been the same even if a few more people were added here.

But no matter how much you think about it, taking all the members of the investigation team for the sake of escorting a high-ranking person going out on a picnic is kind of bullshit.

I thought about it several times and tried to understand it somehow, but realized that I couldn’t expect the police to respond with common sense to the superhero genre, and sighed.

I watched them quietly prepare to retreat, then suddenly turned my attention to the redevelopment complex, where the rainwater was pouring incessantly.

Redevelopment of this redevelopment complex was stopped due to several accidents, and half-abandoned, criminals and people with nowhere to go gathered.

In addition to the wetness of the rain, a very quiet and dreary energy flowed from this place, where people escaped by the police and service workers at the news that redevelopment was going on again.

We’ve been watching the news in this container disguised as construction workers. So far, at least 24 people have been identified, excluding Sikki.

It’s been 8 hours since I’ve been hiding in this container and watching, but there may be people who have entered before that time, and there may be people who haven’t arrived yet.

Worst case – they might have found out we were here. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I can feel the blade in the air. I asked the detective next to me to relax.

“… … There is no possibility that the people from earlier were just people living here, right?”

“yes. Because it is a redevelopment area, people who originally lived there moved in a long time ago.

After that, it was said that only homeless people and bullies were there, but now that there are them, no one, let alone homeless people- Oh.”

The moment he was about to go out, he heard the detective speak with a low voice and said that everything was prepared.

In our line of sight, we saw a seemingly homeless man stumbling around the redevelopment complex.

Is it to avoid the rain? He was about to enter the alley, spitting curses at the sky.

Are they simply homeless or are they gangsters?

I was not sure because it appeared at this timing, so I tried to watch it for now, but no matter how I look at it, the invisible outfit of a bully gathered to enter the ceremony caught my eye.

Even from far away, you can see the clothes worn in several layers and the rainwater dripping down as the rainwater touches the skin. Ha, that person is just homeless.

Realizing that, I immediately ran out wearing the construction site uniform. Then, the voices of detectives making a fuss came from the Bluetooth earphones in my ears.

“[Boo, Vice-captain! come back! Dangerous!]”

“Don’t go in – I’m only going to drag that homeless man out. I’ll pretend to be a regular worker, so you guys should be quiet too.”

“[No, you can’t do that! That’s above the manual, no, more than that, why did you leave the gun behind… … ?! If you get caught, you’ll be in real trouble!]”

“If you go with a gun and get caught by the guy inside, you’ll really fall behind.

He’s famous for his good nose, so he’ll smell gunpowder. So since I left it, if there is nothing special, everyone please wait.”

“[Mr. Ha, why did that person suddenly do that… … ?!]”

I rolled my eyes and surveyed the surrounding buildings, thankful that my voice was hidden by the sound of rain. Not even eating utensils, except for the homeless in front of you, you can’t even see the shadow of a person.

That’s fortunate, but if you accidentally provoke Shik-Gwi, you’ll get a headache, so let’s rescue only those who might be homeless and quickly retreat to let Sik-Gwi know that he’s gathering people.

If the number of people is this high, the commissioner will wake up and send the special forces. No, in this case, is it a development where the special forces are robbed and the New Hope appears and shakes everything off?

Also, in Bonnie’s novel, the background of the episode in which Sikki appears and collapses is said to be a redevelopment complex in Gangdong-gu.

In terms of rounds, it was about 11 episodes, right? It’s been about a month since I’ve been active as a hero.

In addition to getting a reputation and people starting to notice, the fact that they’re doing well gave New Hope confidence.

For the first time in a while, I was seriously injured and terrified when I met Sik-Gwi with an unbelievably cruel personality, and the monster killed and ate a nearby police officer and kept attacking me.

This place was the background of the episode where the protagonist overcomes fear and continues his heroic activities like a protagonist.

In addition, there is an existence that shows interest in New Hope and seems to be plotting something. It is also an episode where New Hope’s Arch Enemy makes a brief appearance.

Even after realizing that even if you have superpowers, you can get hurt and die.

It is particularly memorable because it is the first appearance of the main character who is determined to keep fighting and Arch Enemy.

You must escape from the investigation team before that shit happens.

I thought of the ominous scene where the police officer who was said to have been eaten by the food ghost overlapped with me, and I got goosebumps all over. Shaking my head and thinking, I shouted to the homeless man who was getting close to me.

“Mr. over there~ It’s a redevelopment area, so entry is prohibited! Come out soon! Dangerous!”

“No, you said you would avoid the rain! That- what are you doing with that for a while!”

“No, it’s illegal to enter?! Let’s just have a good time! I’ll be scolded if I’m caught coming all the way here! Em disease! If it’s cold, get a cup of coffee over there! Because there is a container!”

I said it in the most nonchalant tone possible.

Even the homeless man seemed to see me as a simple security guard, and he was talking to me about being ruthless and what does it matter if it was raining?

The government was wrong, the world was wrong, and I laughed out loud while shouting at the young man for being so rude. This man drank alcohol.

I can say that I drank alcohol, but what happens if I scream like this and then a foodie appears? I was worried about

I thought about it for a while at the anxiety that raised my head, and then I spat out the magic words that could bring out such a person at once.

“Ah, I’ll buy you a drink over there! Come out quickly!”

“… … alcohol?”

Fuck you for giving me alcohol, Mr. Cubs Skidree. In this situation, I nod and admire the power of magic spells that always work.

good. Let’s quietly let the homeless go like this. And no matter what they say above, call for support and run away.

In a situation where I couldn’t get out of the special investigation team, I was trying to get away quietly with the homeless, praying for justice to the sky, asking the upper heads to get rid of every last strand of hair because my bald head was getting worse.

Hiss – and I heard the sound of something speeding across the rain. His gaze turned to the place where the sound came from.

in the middle of the gray sky. From where the sound came from, something jet-black was flying rapidly through the rain toward the redevelopment complex.

“[Crow… … ?]”

“What is that… … ? A plastic bag seal?”

Looking at the black thing, the homeless man next to the juniors over the earphones mumbled in a daze.

No, no. Both are wrong. That is not a crow or a plastic bag flying in the wind. that’s-

“Flee now! There is food here!!”

“This crazy bitch?”

Superhero New Hope. She appeared here through the rain. They were screaming at us to run away.

It’s fucking cool, but I fell to the floor while lending a great superhero, and I had a hunch that this situation was fucking wrong.

“Evacuate here immediately!! This is my- Huh? Detective?”

New Hope recognizes me and tilts its head. At the same time, the child’s face turns pale as if he realized something was wrong.

I gritted my lips and wondered whether I should stop it or not, but I remembered that Sikki was quiet even though this homeless man was running rampant.

Unlike the story of the original novel, I had hope that the criminal might have left this place with his subordinates.

But as if mocking my hopes, boom! A sound echoes through the dark alley.

thud! thud! A heavy lump of metal moves, making a sound and vibration that seem to be approaching. The homeless man was dyeing his face pale as if he had a hunch that something was wrong.

Something appeared through the darkly stained rainwater. A man with a huge body.

A gigantic height of more than 2 meters with a muscular body that makes it impossible to grow to that size even if you use steroids to a lethal dose.

Red eyes, no hair, fists the size of my upper body. A monster whose upper body is wrapped in a blue cloth splattered with blood. Sikgwi. It was a monster called by that name.

And I saw more than 30 bullies following him… … Uh, I think that’s a gun now.

It wasn’t quite right, but a few of them were clearly holding homemade pistols made with 3D printers.

While I was breaking out in a cold sweat saying that this was fucked up, Sik-Gwi blew on a bottle and slowly rolled his bulging eyes.

Shik-Gwi looked at me, the homeless man, and New Hope, and threw the bottle on the floor with a smile.

“Huh, I did something because it was noisy. A small sparrow flew in.”

“Oh, don’t talk so harshly. After you get beaten up by that sparrow, you have to make an excuse, right?”

New Hope responds to Sikgwi’s provocation. The red eyes of the two exchanged, and an atmosphere of immediacy began to flow, as if a fight would break out at any moment.

hey, hey There are two civilians here now. … Are you trying to fight even when one civilian and one powerless cop can’t even get away?

Even though there are civilians, they won’t fight right away. I had the hope that I know. That I’ve never had anything come easy while I’ve been doing this.

Suddenly, I saw juniors hiding in containers and Starex cars running out. I told you to stay still, but you said you would run out? why?

I did something- damn it. On the other side, more than the number of people confirmed so far appeared out of nowhere and charged with homemade guns and knives.

Are you running after seeing that? But usually when you see him holding a gun, don’t you usually call for support and run away?

I don’t know if it’s because of the strong work spirit as a police officer or because of the fate of those who have a job as a police officer in the hero genre-

This investigation, which was intended to investigate what Sik-Gwi was trying to do in the Gangdong-gu redevelopment area, quickly became a battlefield.

“Detective please follow me!!”

New Hope shouted and rushed at Shik-Gwi. They seemed to think that there was no way beyond the gathering, and I judged that too.

What will New Hope do, but we have to deal with those janitors. Sipal what kind of bullshit is this?

I might die here

With a teary face, I turned around and threw the high bar I was wearing on my head at the bully who was shooting a homemade pistol, then hit me with a drop kick.

As long as I don’t get caught in the role of being eaten by the Sik-Gwi in the original work, I rushed at it, making a commitment to rewrite and submit the application for transfer to the district unit.
