I Became a Framed Villain

65 – Emotion

How long has it been since you entered the ruins of the Forbidden City with great vigilance?

＞ Dear…

“Why is that?”

＞ It’s a little creepy here…

As I walk inside holding my breath, Pandora, who was walking while holding my sleeve, quietly sends me a chat.

“Of course it’s spooky. It’s where the death knight is.”

＞ A death knight?

“I’m not sure either… Maybe he’s the holder of the concept of ‘death’.”

Whispering to her while holding her breath, her rounding Pandora’s eyes.

＞ Isn’t that very strong then?

“Yes, maybe…”

＞ Aren’t you just playing instant death cheats? Big trouble! Can’t deal with that!!

After a while, he starts making a fuss again.

“It’s okay.”

＞ What’s OK? Not okay at all! I don’t want to die!

“Because you’re going to have the rear support anyway.”

Because she said that with a quiet smile, she stopped her words and stared at me.

“I don’t know exactly what your abilities are, but judging from how they behave, they probably aren’t combat abilities.”

“………”

“Then, of course, you should help me from the rear.”

She gives her a grin of her own, and Pandora puts on her dazed expression.

“Looking at the last fight, you’re good at analysis. That alone is helpful enough.”

＞ But…

“Did you bring all the equipment? You can wait around here…”

Then, suddenly, Pandora shook her head.

＞ OK!

“…….?”

＞ Specially guarded with this.

“You say you don’t want to die?”

When she tilted her head at that figure, he grinned and tapped the typewriter.

＞ Well then. But can’t back down!

“Then why…”

＞ Because I hate my friend dying!

In an instant, my eyes shut tight without realizing it.

‘Let’s calm down…’

If there is a side effect of manipulating me through hypnosis, it is that it is difficult to respond to these sudden changes in emotions.

＞ Why do you keep looking at your smartphone?

＞ That’s a bad habit! Then my eyes got bad!

“…That’s you.”

＞ I had my eyeball replaced by a machine in the lab.

It was fortunate that I was looking at the hypnosis video on my smartphone.

If I had just listened to that, my emotions might have surged again.

“You must have had a hard time too.”

Thinking of that, I try to mutter to Pandora, who is making a bright expression while sticking her slightly unusual pupils towards me.

＞ Now is more important than the past!

“…I see.”

Then, her reply came back.

“The present is more important than the past…”

＞ That’s my motto.

“…An interesting motto.”

I think Pandora is similar to me, yet different.

We both have terrible pasts, but Pandora’s lack of relationships is traumatic, and I’m traumatized by relationships with others.

And while Pandora is coming out of the past and moving toward the future, I don’t think I’ll be able to get out of the swamp of the past forever.

‘That’s why, I shouldn’t grab your ankle.’

With that thought, I quietly moved forward.

＞ That’s when it’s great!

“………..”

＞ Why are you still silent? When I first met you, you were stupid like me, but your character is a bit strange these days.

“You know you’re stupid again.”

＞ Noisy!

Then I was joking with Pandora who was walking next to me.

– Go oh oh oh…

“………!”

Suddenly feel the powerful life in front of you.

“Pandora.”

Perhaps I felt that murderous feeling, I unknowingly embraced the frozen Pandora and sighed and opened my mouth.

“…You are here.”

“………”

“Ask for rear support with drones here.”

Then she shakes her head while trembling.

“…The guy in front of me is beyond my imagination.”

＞ But…

“I don’t want to see my friend die either.”

I tapped her on the shoulder and whispered, carefully holding the smartphone to her face.

“So here you are.”

Then Pandora, restless, quietly nodded her head.

＞ Don’t die…

＞ Apparently, Tekken promised to be together every night…

“…Just die?”

＞ So what do you mean!!

I was cracking jokes to lighten the mood until the end, then I quietly moved forward and muttered.

“I’m kidding.”

– Weiing…

Beside me, a Pandora’s drone started following me.

.

.

.

“It comes out soon.”

Kang Ha-neul, who continued to move toward a place full of life, soon stopped and opened his mouth.

“I know it’s there.”

– Geureuk…!

“…….?”

At that moment, Kwyuleuk began to wriggle wildly in his arms.

– Grrr…

– Ohh…

“What is it, the energy these guys emit?”

At that moment, a shadow spread from the pile of ruins, and beasts in the shape of hounds began to head towards him.

“…No, that can’t be.”

However, their grades are 3 or 4 even if you estimate them.

Despite this, Kang Ha-neul and Pandora, who belong to the world’s top villains, were not opponents that would chill the spine.

“Ahahahaha!”

Thanks to that, it was at that moment when Kang Ha-neul was surrounded by doubts.

“I never thought I’d find you here, trauma.

Someone appeared among the demonic beasts approaching him with their eyes shining.

“I can’t believe I could beat our Yui-chan.”

“…Who?”

Kang Ha-neul, who was staring blankly at the man in front of him, tilts his head in pure curiosity, and his expression turns cold.

“The new executive of the Secret Service, who was taken care of by you the day before.”

“…..Ah.”

Only then, Kang Ha-neul, who confirmed the Secret Intelligence Agency mark on the man’s clothes in front of him, frowned and opened his mouth.

“How did you get here?”

“There was a report that something strange was happening here recently. That’s why I came here as an executive.”

“…An executive?”

Soon after hearing that, Kang Ha-neul put on a slightly puzzled expression.

“You?”

“Looks like you’re ignoring me now, but if you do, you’ll get your nose hurt.”

“…What the hell happened to the Secret Service while Ira and I were away?”

“Ha, I guess that’s all I can say right now.”

But the unyielding man stretches out his arms and shouts.

“The abnormal phenomena occurring here were related to you, Trauma!!”

“…….”

“I’ll capture you alive and interrogate you about what you’ve been up to!!”

At the same time, the 3rd and 4th grade monsters began to gather here and there.

“How is it, amazing?”

“…What?”

“I am the only one who can control so many monsters in the whole world! This is something no one else has ever done! It’s enough to be surprised!”

Kang Ha-neul, surrounded by them, bursts into laughter.

“You would have been beaten like a dog if I had stayed with the Secret Service.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“…Has it already gone into information expungement?”

Then Kang Ha-neul quietly takes out his smartphone.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Guys! Ask!!”

“Sorry, rookie.”

He muttered sadly as he looked at the man giving orders to the demons around him.

“…I wonder if it’s as strong as your comrades.”

“What?”

“If it’s a mediocre ability, you should have figured out the opponent first…”

That was the moment.

“What do you mean…”

– So…

The reason why the men and beasts, who were heading towards Kang Ha-neul with their hands in their pockets with bad expressions, all stopped in their seats with their eyes round.

– Puff…..

How much time had passed like that?

The man with bloodshot eyes and the monsters begin to fall to the ground one by one, frozen hard.

“…………”

And then the static began.

“…Snippets, cleaned up.”

Kang Ha-neul, who had been staring blankly at his enemies who had turned into cold corpses in an instant, turned his head at the voice he heard from behind.

“But I’m curious.”

A girl with fair skin and long gray hair stood in front of him, surprisingly naked.

“Why don’t you die?”

As she approaches Kang Ha-neul, she tilts her head.

“…A death knight?”

“Hey, you.”

“Now, wait. Don’t come…”

Kang Ha-neul started to back away from her with a puzzled expression on her face, but she ignored it and opened her mouth again while staring at him.

“Oh no…”

“Can’t you feel the fear?”

“…….”

Kang Ha-neul, who had fallen backwards with his pupils falling, finally muttered with a bitter smile after hearing those words.

“…Caught.”

“You are amazing.”

Kang Ha-neul’s eyes, which show no emotion even though his mouth is smiling, and the curious eyes of the girl begin to cross each other.

.

.

.

.

.

On the other hand, that time.

“…It’s cold.”

Himari, who was sitting blankly on a chair in her empty lot, lowered her head while hugging her own body.

“When are you coming…”

Then, she stared blankly at her own smartphone battery, which now has only a few percent left.

– Tuck, Tuck…

“…Ah.”

Then she lifts her head, hearing the sound of her footsteps towards her.

“………”

Then, Himari, who was lost in thought while blinking her eyes.

“…Laughing, at times like this.”

Then, Himari reached out her hand with a subtle smile on her lips.

“Rumia!”

“………”

And after receiving her call, Rumia arrived at the vacant lot early in the morning after spending all the remaining money on her transportation card.

“…Hello!”

I looked up at her eye smile and responded to her smile with a clear voice.

“Mr. Himari, where are the attendants and why are you sitting alone in an empty lot like this early in the morning?”

‘…Disgusting.’

Even though, a chilly energy lingered in it.

“That’s… So…”

‘I hope you don’t smile at me with the feelings of a senior.’
