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

When I woke up again, the first thing I saw was a white ceiling—not a blue concrete ceiling. It’s not even painted, it’s really a raw concrete ceiling.

I don’t know the exact name because I’ve never done construction work, but seeing what looks like a frame on the ceiling and various equipment rolling around, it looks like a construction site in full swing.

Why the hell am I here? The moment I questioned it, I realized that the sound in my ears had disappeared. It took a while for me to look around, feeling the silence hit my ears.

When I felt pain in my head and put my hand on it, red blood was oozing from my hand, and in addition to the loss of strength all over my body, I could tell that I had fainted for quite a while, seeing that the floor was covered in blood.

this is kinda weird I sat down and calmly examined my condition.

The head wound burst again and blood was flowing, my heart ached and cold, I felt like I was going to cough, and I felt as if my lifespan had been shortened by several decades.

I had a similar feeling to this when I was hit by a vehicle driven by a fleeing suspect in the past.

Was I hit by a car? Looking back, I don’t remember being hit by a car. As I tried to remember what had happened at the end, the scene before passing out came to mind.

Yeah, I wasn’t hit by a car, I was hit by a guy spraying something like lightning. That’s how he ended up throwing himself to save a criminal suspect from the world’s final boss.

It belatedly dawned on me that the damn accident insurance I bought had a damn thing about not covering damage caused by psychics.

You can’t even get insurance, but the life of a man is broken.

I have never committed a crime in my previous life or this life. Is it because you teased the class president for being bald? Was it a sin so great that it threw me into this catastrophe?

I stopped escaping reality and looked around. There was no light other than a stand-up lamp, and it was so dark that you couldn’t see an inch ahead outside the building.

The cell phone and pistol that were put in the bosom are missing. It seems that it hasn’t been a few hours since I passed out, and there are no shadows of people around.

Okay, I know it’s quiet around here. Now, there is only one problem and one question left.

why the fuck am i here?

If you simply passed out after being attacked by a suspect, you should be in the hospital or lying on the ground when you wake up, but waking up at a construction site you don’t know where is strange.

Either I was sleepwalking and walked all the way here, or someone brought me here. The answer to this is not immediately known.

No cell phone, no people around. I can go to the city center with just a short walk, so going to each other would not be a problem, but my back hurt and it was difficult to walk.

“To be sick.”

He spat out curse words and somehow got himself up. Even if you stay still here, you can only draw a future where you will die because your blood is drained.

Thinking that I had to crawl out of town no matter what, I slowly went down the stairs.

tingling body. As the rather severe pain ran through my body, I somehow turned my thoughts in a different direction. It was an ugly struggle to forget the pain even a little.

Will you accept this if I get sick? If you don’t accept it, I’ll have to pull out all the hairs of the class president. how did i get here? Meanwhile, what happened to that guy?

“uh.”

An important fact that popped into my head while I was thinking about forgetting the pain.

I am now a suspect, but I threw my body to prevent a person who was originally a civilian from rushing at the final boss of this world without losing his mind.

When I woke up after fainting like that, I couldn’t even see the important final boss plucking my nose? This suspect has already sunk somewhere in a reservoir, and I, who dared to push him away, wasn’t brought here to bury him?

“Nimi.”

If it’s really like that, you can’t run away from here.

This is where my short second life ends. If I knew I was going to die like this, I would have taken off my clothes and ran away without thinking about the future.

Right after that, I heard a tang from below, and the sound of an iron pipe rolling. This place is on the third floor in terms of the number of floors, and it seemed that someone was coming up from the dark bottom.

Is that the one coming up from there trying to kill me? With my eyes closed, I prepared a resistance with an iron pipe lying nearby.

The sound of footsteps coming up slowly. But if the current situation is what I thought was right, I could die without doing anything. However, I couldn’t die like this.

My back hurts and my body feels weak due to the amount of blood shed in my head. My physical condition is getting worse and worse, but I was convinced that I could hit one shot.

It was worse than this when I tried 10 to 1 after getting hit by 3 swords. It is certainly.

Right after that, I felt someone approaching me. The stairs of this building, which is still under construction, are kindly dark because there are no handrails or emergency lights.

The sound resonates loudly and shows off its presence, so I held my breath while paying attention to my ears because it tells me where the existence is coming up.

The gurgling sound gets louder and louder. With the feeling that if I was going to die, I would die after eating the taffy, I gathered all the strength I had been sucking into my hands, clenched my teeth and raised my arms-

“Vice-captain, are you here- Wow?!”

“crazy!”

I swung an iron pipe at someone who had come all the way up here. A pain ran through my arm with the sound of an iron pipe hitting the stairs.

At the same time, I looked at the person who came up in a hurry, frowning as I heard the being with a voice I had only heard once awkwardly make a fuss and scream.

Sai, a pistol harness wrapped around a white shirt, was gasping for breath with a pistol in his hand. It looked as if dust had rolled on the floor all over his body.

Did you come to deal with me yourself? who’s the suspect? What else is a pistol?

A situation where all those questions are entangled and tangled under the tongue. I tried to forcefully put the question into my mouth by pressing my tongue, but the words that came out of my mouth were not the questions I wanted.

“… … how?”

“Uh, that, the suspect kidnapped the vice-captain. There were a lot of eyewitnesses in the light, so I finally came while questioning… … Oh damn! This is the old intersection of Cheonho Market! police injured! repeat! A police officer was injured at the crossroads in the old intersection of Cheonho Market! Ambulance and police assistance please! hurry!!”

After hearing what I said, I continued talking to see if she understood by asking me how I came, but soon after she saw the blood I was shedding, she started calling for help on the walkie-talkie.

The sight confused me. Weren’t you trying to dispose of me? But when I calmly thought about it, there was no real benefit to her if she killed me.

Then why am I here? One possibility came to my mind while thinking about it.

Wasn’t what she wanted, just like I thought at first, simply to show her active performance?

The suspect in this case somehow kidnapped me, but that was a coincidence, and Sai could be a plan to raise the stock price properly from the first dispatch by using it to rescue me.

When you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense.

If it were me, I’d be so ashamed I wouldn’t be able to do a play like this. It seems that the face must be very thick to become a world’s dark side.

“Who is the suspect?”

“I thought you would be here, but didn’t you see it?”

Oh yeah. I mean, it’s already been dealt with.

I sighed when I heard the news of the actual death of the suspect I tried to save even at the cost of my waist. Just like that, my whole body was losing strength, and I felt the power of control fly away from my body.

As his body collapsed on the stairs, Sai’s face was blurred in the dim light of the lamp he was standing on.

Sai’s corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his shining blue eyes conveyed the feeling of interest, which seemed to be visible or not.

… … What is that woman really doing? I lost consciousness at the end of that thought.

****

When I came back to my senses, the place I was in was, fortunately, a hospital. In the now familiar police hospital ward, the doctor came to me as soon as I came to my senses and explained my condition.

A cracked pelvic bone, a bruised back muscle, and a reopened head wound? Other than that, he said there were no major injuries.

I never thought that this guy’s strong body would come in handy in a place like this. Anyway, I came to my senses, so I was immediately transferred to a shared room.

I saw other detectives around me watching TV or leisurely spending time in a dazed state as if I had just woken up, and it was only then that I realized that I was alive.

After that, the thoughts that filled my head were that I am lucky to be alive. was After that, I thought about what to do with the hospital bill.

My wallet has become thinner because I did the stupid thing of buying Mina lunch before, but I don’t think I’ll be able to eat lunch this month after paying the hospital bill.

Can I pay the hospital bill in the first place?

As I lay on the bed, swallowing tears at the misery of my wallet, the door to the hospital room opened slowly. What entered after that was between the class president and a smiling face. Two like this. Even if you come, the two guys you hate the most are coming.

I looked at the two of them in disgust, and the class president let out a blank laugh as he brushed up the few remaining strands of hair on his shiny head.

“Ugh. looks worth living As soon as I saw your face, you made a face that ate shit.”

“If you came here to have a fight with the guy who broke his head twice, go back.”

“Seeing that he has a normal temperament, it seems like he can go to the office right away- whatever. I gathered some of my family members here. It will help.”

Saying so, the class president handed over a thick white envelope. It was customary for the members of the special investigation team to collect and give money to the injured person, but it was very thick.

“Because I packed more. Come back quickly.”

“Captain… … .”

I was moved by the class president’s personality, which shined as bright as his hair, and gratefully received the money envelope. It was only a rough glance, but at this level, there would be no need to go hungry even after being discharged.

The sense of duty as a police officer, which did not normally exist, increased by one part of Nayuta. While I was laughing, the class president continued with a tone that was absurd.

“Okay, rest in peace. And say thank you to your assistant shooter. Do you know how much the newcomer worked hard to save you from day one? He said he fought even when he was beaten by the light-sprinkling bastard.”

“… … really?”

Saying that he was a brave fellow, the class president patted Sai on the shoulder, and now I could see gauze sticking to Sai’s face.

Did you have a fight with the suspect? Now I know why he died.

I nodded my head, praying that the suspect would be relieved. Now that it has been proven that Sai’s purpose is to win results, there is one thing I have to do.

“amazing! nice! Looking forward to the future! What a guy!”

The third-rate supporting actors, who are only admiring for putting the main character in the novel of the mass market, will show sucking their buttholes that they dare not touch.

I could see the class president opening his mouth with a face that had a lot to say with a smile, but at the right time, a call came from the class president, and he avoided his seat for a while to be contacted.

And just like that, the only room left between me and me. The awkwardness between me and me subsides in an instant, but am I the only one who feels that way because I’m afraid of her inside?

There are other patients, but each of us doesn’t care and the awkwardness doesn’t get better as we each do our own thing.

Shall I rather ‘pretend’ to lose my mind and say thank you for saving me and give me the position of vice-captain? If you ask the class president that you’re fit for this position- uh, maybe this will be okay?

Anyway, in this world, everyone loses their screws when it comes to the main characters, so I was hoping that this nonsense was possible. Sai talked to me.

“Hey, vice-captain. Can I ask you something?”

“uh? uh. okay.”

“At that time, you saved me when the suspect attacked, right? Why did you do that?”

No matter how much he is a suspect in a crime, he won’t let a guy like you die because he’s not guilty of a mortal crime.

It’s weird to answer honestly, and I’m confessing that I’m wary of this woman, so I can’t be honest. I tried to choose the right words, but

I’m not a guy with good eloquence skills, and I’m not good at brains, so I only spoke words that weren’t lies.

“Because I am a cop.”

My words, which swallowed her back, gave Sai’s dark eyes a momentary bluish tint, but as if what I saw was a lie, she said with the same smile on her face as before.

“I will learn a lot from the vice-captain in the future. I wish you a speedy recovery. This suspect must be arrested, right?”

you killed that guy But at this rate, do we have to wander around for at least a few months to find a suspect who may be sinking somewhere like a reservoir?

How annoying would it be if I said something from above with this? The moment when, while lamenting inwardly, he said with his mouth that we should be arrested together-

“Detective? stay here… … ? The detective said he was hospitalized, so he sent me a visit-“

“… … .”

Mina, who brought a bottle of Bacchus to the hospital, opens the door of the hospital room and enters. The moment Sai and Mina’s eyes met, it felt like the world stopped.

Life is really fucked up.
