chapter 3
3 – Chapter 1. Villain Executioner (3)
Those with this ability, that is, the power of mana, cannot be controlled with modern weapons.
– Mana is an alien substance that is distinctly different from the existing concept! This is a material unlike any other modern energy source!
Because it is a material from outer space, mana was impossible to control with any modern power.
Simply put.
– E-class 17-year-old high school girl with the ability is equal to the power of one tank.
Even the E-class, not the lowest F-class, has the lethality and destructive power of a tank class.
Even if you’re only F-rank, you can protect yourself from bullets flying from far away with a mana shield, and you can wear a mana shield around your body to withstand a barrage of bullets until all your mana runs out.
Even if it’s only A rank, it’s a joke, and it’s said that it has corps level strength.
When it reaches S-class, it is called a national power level, a living nuclear weapon.
In this situation, since there are no adults who have mastered this ability and all of them are under the age of 25, there is no way to guide these children to the so-called ‘right path’, whether they are born with this ability or awaken as they grow up.
– Stop this ability!
– What to do? can’t you kill it? Are you hot? Are you angry? There’s no point in bringing a gun, is it?
– What kind of habit do you say that to adults?
-Adult? Haaa about the incompetent person! I am far superior to you! Goranistas Be smart, give me condolences!
– This, this crazy!!
The world situation has expanded beyond the confrontation between countries, in fact, into a confrontation between good and evil, order and chaos, and old and new generations.
-Good children who listen well become heroes, and Iljins of the shogibeob boy type become villains.
A person who uses this ability to protect the existing world order.
A person who uses this ability for their own benefit.
-This world is not a showdown between heroes and villains.
Someone said that about this worldview.
-It’s a showdown between Jammin, who won the Model Child Award, and the Chokbeop boys.
Villains are cases in which all young law enforcement boys have this ability, and heroes are cases in which good children who are praised by teachers as exemplary students in their class have awakened this ability.
That’s not wrong.
[Villain Red Scarf-Jeong Gong-in is a pyrotechnic, and since he burned and killed animals at the age of 10, he grew up in a ‘mental training center for children with special abilities’…!]
Now, the apartment I live in – Seoul Banpojai is the same as the guy running to set fire to it.
Psycho Pass.
Sociopath.
Or a superpower theorist.
As a person who came together with the idea of why he had to obey and follow the existing order and law when he had this ability, he is now trying to prove himself through terrorism.
[We have Dr. Ahn Jung-eun, a criminal psychologist with special abilities. Why is the Red Scarf aiming for Banpozai?]
[Banpozai is a symbol. When he entered the mental training center, Banpo Jai became famous on the Internet as a symbol of wealth.]
[Will you send a message by terrorizing the richest apartment?]
[Yes. Since there are a lot of heroes in Busan, he is trying to commit terrorism in a place where there are relatively no heroes and he knows as a wealthy village according to his memory…]
“So it’s because the child has no common sense, but the knowledge stays for 10 years?”
The reason why the apartment I live in is in danger of terrorism is just an illusion.
“Anyway, the level of Chokbeop Jammin is high.”
It’s ridiculous, but even if you look at the terrorist incidents that have occurred in real history, there are often more terrorist attacks than you think.
Even more so if it was Jammin Chokbeop, an arsonist who awakened this ability and thought he was superior.
[How is the current situation in Seoul?! Reporter Han Kang!]
[…Yeah! This is Seoul, the Han River! An emergency evacuation order was issued to the planned terrorist area, including the Seocho-dong area, and the citizens of Seoul fell into a frenzy!]
“It’s natural that a tram running at 200 km/h is coming up to Seoul.”
It is ‘running’ northward on the Gyeongbu Expressway at insane speed, but there is no way to stop it.
“It’s crazy.”
When I came down the stairs and came out, people were leaving Banpo-dong in fear.
“Hero!! Where is the hero?!”
“Damn, they’re all in Busan! Anybody out there? There must be a hero who came down from home!”
“What are the chasers coming up from Busan doing! Catch him right now! Don’t let them come all the way to Seoul!!”
He’s running away from the heroes of Busan right now.
At the same time as coming to Seoul to cause terrorism, he evades the heroes who come to catch him from Busan with his special abilities, mana, and speed.
[What is the current situation of the heroes who came out of Busan?!]
[The heroes barely chased after them, but the Red Scarf caused a car accident and lost lives…!]
“Tsk.”
Heroes are those who have received the Good Model Child Award.
If the thief pushes the passing grandmother and runs away, they will run to the bleeding grandmother and give first aid even after chasing the thief.
[There are currently over 20 casualties…!]
“Did he decide not to live in Korea?”
It’s been a long time since I crossed the line.
It will be difficult to live in the world of light from now on.
“…Are you in exile?”
But what if it’s dark?
Afraid of Korea’s rapid progress, what if it is a place that accepts exile villains from Korea?
“Is this guy trying to go to China or Russia?”
After causing terrorism in Seoul and pretending to be dead while crossing the sea, it might reappear under the name of ‘Jieng Gouying’ or ‘Jungorblin Seki’.
In fact, there are many such people.
In Korea, the benefits that heroes receive compared to their abilities are overwhelmingly less than in other countries, and other countries are willing to pay billions of dollars to accept talented people from Korea.
Originally, that was also the ‘setting’ of this novel.
“This small peninsula has received so many blessings.”
According to the setting, it is because ‘it’ is sleeping underground where Sejong Island is located, but the Korean Peninsula is a place blessed with mana.
[Why is Red Scarf doing this? If you become a hero, you can become a hero who can protect a city as an A-class hero, and if you go abroad, you can become a hero who can protect the entire country!]
Thanks to this, even if you have the ability to be praised as the only hero and hero of saving the country in other countries, in Korea, you can be reduced to the level of a common A-class villain that just causes social controversy like a red scarf.
“Open the hero navigator! Are there any heroes in Seoul?”
“Damn it, there’s no one in the metropolitan area! The hero who was originally in Seoul is now on a business trip abroad!”
More than this.
I just have to watch Seoul become a sea of fire.
Baba baba baba baba bam.
The phone rings on the smartphone.
Different from the basic sound built into the smartphone, the music sounded like the opening song of a special effects film somewhere.
“…ugh.”
On the screen of the smartphone, the word ‘Ω’ was written in large letters.
Even the picture embedded in the middle of the sentence is a ‘black dragon’.
I hurriedly went to a deserted place to avoid public attention, and cautiously answered the phone.
“…Yes, Mr. President. I’ve answered the phone.”
[Oops, Chief Do. How you doing?]
A slightly youthful voice came over the smartphone.
If someone eavesdrops on it, it sounds like the words of a woman about 3 years old from a conglomerate.
It is, of course, slang to hide one’s identity.
Because the existence beyond the receiver is the ‘Dark Demon Dragon’, the head of the world conquering organization ‘The Society’.
“Yes, thanks to you, I’m doing well. President, how are you comfortable?”
[Thanks to Chief Do, I’m sleeping with my feet stretched these days. heheheung. But, Chief Do, I have something urgent to deal with.]
“If the president directs, we must follow immediately. What is it?”
[Do you have a red scarf? I think you should pick it up.]
red muffler.
This is sweet language too.
It’s just that it’s not a promised slang, it’s a figurative expression that requires a little thought.
“Is it collection or cleaning?”
[Oh, look at my mind. It’s going to be thrown away, so you can’t just bring it to the company. Got it?]
I asked for directions from collection to cleaning, and was told ‘throw away’.
[Our environment, greener, greener. Please put it in a garbage bag and dispose of it. hehehe, then please take good care of me!]
The phone is disconnected.
Although it was a sudden order, I couldn’t stay still as long as I heard it.
‘The location is now in Chungcheong-do.’
If I intercept in Seoul, my identity can be revealed, so I’ll just go south.
Vureung.
I got on my bike in the parking lot.
Speaking of this, my favorite horse I bought with my first salary from the society, ‘Dark Knight – Black Knight’.
The reason why the name looks like this is because it was the name given by the gunman.
I was just going to say ‘shit’…
“…yes?”
Something chilled down my spine.
And at the same time someone came up behind me-
puck!
“Aww…!”
hit my head on my back
I hurriedly turned my head, wondering if a new assassin had appeared.
“who….”
“I’m sorry…!”
The black-haired woman, wearing a tightly pressed hat, bent her waist toward me with her hands together.
“Excuse me, could you lend me a bike?! I’m in a hurry, but I’ll pay you back!”
“Why is the bike… wait.”
I quickly looked the woman up and down.
“…Snow White?”
A wild heroine has appeared…!
