65 – Approaching the truth.

“…I don’t know what happened.”

Handsome’s body trembled as he thought of Gladius glaring at him while stroking the back of his neck.

“Are you old now too? I guess I’m finally getting old… Ugh. “It’s creepy.”

Despite being his senior and a respectable hero, the reason he said this was simple.

-Hmm, that’s right?

She, who had just heard the whole story about Hyunwoo and was thinking while stroking her chin, left without saying a single word, just walked up to her car, got in, and left.

“I wonder what the hell is…”

Why? Do you have the ability to know that? In the past, she – or more accurately, the golden generation, as they were called, tended to do things, ask for help, and then explain it later.

It was the same when I was a student, and it is still the same now that I have become a hero.

“What could be wrong… Hmm?”

So, Handsome once again tried to enter the police station where the meeting had not ended, but-

“Teacher!”

“What, why are you coming out already?”

“The meeting ended in disarray…”

He soon saw the heroes rushing out of the entrance and Hangyeol coming towards him, and he sighed.

“What is the result?”

“Of course it’s a success!”

“You idiot. Good job.”

“Hey, I did something.”

The meeting ended with Hangyul’s opinion accepted. That’s why he was a handsome man who praised him, but in reality, Hangyeol broke into a cold sweat and smiled bitterly.

In the end, it’s not that everyone followed because he was outstanding. Gladius and the handsome man in front of me. Because they agreed, his opinion ultimately came to light. Hangyeol, who remembered that fact, shrugged his shoulders and joked, but Handsome smiled, stroked his head, and shook his head.

“Still, it’s still been a year since I became a hero… No, to be honest, I guess it’s great that they accepted your opinion as a prospective hero who isn’t even an official hero yet?”

Handsome knew that no matter how sensitive heroes were to things related to rankings, he wouldn’t have listened to his opinion if it wasn’t valid, so he just smiled and praised him.

“If it’s over, let’s go… Why are you doing this?”

Handsome patted him on the shoulder and tried to head straight to the car. But when he looked around and saw Hangyeol on guard, he felt strange and-

“Uh…What about Gladius?”

“Senior? “He just left without saying anything.”

“Really?”

After hearing his words, Hangyeol immediately breathed a sigh of relief and only then smiled and followed Handsome.

“To say it was a lot of hard work… It seems like we will still have a hard time.”

“What is that…”

“hahahaha! “It means to do your best in the future.”

Inwardly, he prayed and prayed for something, but on the outside he followed Handsome and smiled as if nothing had happened.

“…What is this?”

Just-

“A student who suddenly killed a villain and ran away. His life was even ruined by the evil brigade’s villains, and after he disappeared, the villain Guardian suddenly appeared two years later-“

Gladius went somewhere by car accompanied by a driver, and she sat in the back seat, frowning as she glared at the pile of documents.

“It seems strange to anyone, but no one noticed this?”

What he didn’t know was that the reason for her tantrums was none other than the worst result, 180 degrees different from the direction Hangyeol had wanted.

“Ha…f*ck. “I really don’t know what this is doing.”

Throwing her papers aside and looking out the window, she scratched her head and let out her frustration, then began grinding her teeth while looking at the scenery outside her window.

Repentance, who shows hatred towards the evil brigade, and the identity of the powerful people who suddenly appear. It feels like the puzzle is finally coming together little by little.

The only problem is that the puzzles she has to solve are piling up more and more.

“There’s no way that bastard doesn’t know this.”

The villain Guardian is Lee Hyeon-woo, a student who escaped about two years ago.

This is something that even a third person would be able to understand right away. But no one knew about this? No, he who was a simple student suddenly led numerous villains and created an organization capable of confronting the evil brigade?

“…Turn the vehicle around.”

“Where are you going?”

With so many other questions pouring in, she frowned and quickly began to piece together the puzzle of truth in her head.

The abilities are the same. The time of disappearance is also the same. So why does no one suspect anything? The reason is simple. There are a lot of people with the same ability characteristics. The ability to start a fire with both hands and the ability to start a fire in a distant place are different, but the flame-heat type characteristic is the same, so you may have overlooked it and thought that the abilities were similar.

Furthermore – A student who dreamed of becoming a hero and is believed to have killed a villain for his students and escaped. Contrary to popular opinion, a guy who was so good that his colleagues still trust him has become a villain?

Of course, there is that possibility. Because things like that are common. However, it would be hard to believe that an orphan student with no connections and a person who remained open throughout his school days suddenly became the head of a villain organization leading other villains who rose to the ranks of powerful people.

…Of course, not wanting to believe that those who were colleagues and friends have turned into enemies may also play a part.

“Both realistic and psychological factors say he is not a villain-“

Are these doubts in vain? That’s not it either. It’s not that no one knows the truth. At least the Hero Shield – the boy knew the answer. Maybe the same goes for other guys.

But in the end, he trusted Hyunwoo, not the heroes. That’s why he tried to hide his identity, and may have reached the truth about the Evil Brigade and Repentance. There was no way his own friend was targeting them.

Is it a child’s bullying, or is it trust in a colleague?

“Let the kid who believes in the villain be disciplined later-“

It’s not part-time work. It’s all just pointless. There are other things that are more important than that right now, so you can worry about that later.

“There’s no way that bastard doesn’t know this. Okay. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense.”

Former hero Judgment. Seok-Hoon, who hated her so much but recognized her skills, must have known the truth about her. If not, I would have at least suspected it.

Heroes never pass up clues with the word ‘no way’. But there is no way he, the closest person to a hero, doesn’t know that.

“Going to Justice Academy.”

Thinking like that, she continued to think about it and decided to simply go out.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll give you a black bowl.”

Do you know, but are you pretending not to know, or are you truly unaware? You just have to meet it in person. She closed her eyes, looking at the document she had thrown and the picture of Hyunwoo smiling kindly.

You were a student? Dreamed of becoming a hero? Isn’t that the kind of person? There will be unavoidable circumstances? Don’t be a damn thing.

“A villain is a villain.”

From Noble mtl dot com

A villain is a villain. She trusted that guy, the head of the evil brigade. She knew that fact well, having had the experience of being stabbed in the back.

Villains are evil. If her guess is true and Hyunwoo is the villain guardian-

“That kid probably isn’t normal either.”

They said it would definitely be ‘evil’. She thought so.

Meanwhile, at the same time – a dark basement.

A narrow space with no windows, so no light coming in, a gloomy room with only a light bulb emitting faint light.

“Hmm… There’s still a long way left.”

From there, a clear and innocent girl’s voice that does not fit the place resonates.

“Why on earth are you keeping your mouth shut like this? “Is it faith?”

The girl tilted her head as if she was truly curious – Eugene.

The sight of her resting her hand on her chin, tapping the floor with her feet and puffing out her cheeks combined with her unique neat appearance gave a cute impression –

“If it were other people, they would have already opened their mouths. “This is the only way my hands get dirty.”

When you see her words, the faint moans that are heard little by little for some reason, and the blood on her body and the bloody dagger in her left hand, such thoughts are bound to come to mind.

“-Crazy b*tch.”

“Hmm, those words are a bit hurtful.”

Yujin, who is chained in a corner of the wall, expresses his dissatisfaction with a gloomy expression as an expletive comes out of his mouth at one of the villains of the evil brigade.

“Not only is there a separate crazy b*tch – I don’t want to do this either? “If you just plan properly, you will die comfortably without any of this happening.”

“Turn it off…!”

“Besides, what? Are you crazy with just this much? “I have suffered worse things from you.”

“Off-“

“If you can’t bear this much pain, are you asking others to do all kinds of things to you? Anyway, you too.”

When the dagger in her hand pierced his arm, the villain, struggling in pain, let out a groan, and Eugene continued to huff and puff and swing her arm, and the wounds on his body continued to increase and blood began to pour out. It’s fried.

The surroundings are already covered in blood, and it’s surprising that most of them, including those injured just now, are not dead –

“Recovery.”

As the brilliant golden light emitted from her body enveloped his body, his wounds had already recovered in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

You cannot escape even from death. The only way out of this situation is to confess your plan and die comfortably-

“…Kill me, I’d rather kill you!”

“Then I told you to speak up. Or – well, you end up like them.”

Like their current colleagues, they were lying limp on the floor and losing their minds.

“Just try to hold on for a while, like me.”

No matter which one you choose, the worst thing is the same. He grits his teeth and tosses and turns his body, knowing it’s no use –

Chrrr! Clap!

The chains that bound him moved and prevented him from moving, but his futile resistance ultimately failed as planned.

Who can save themselves? Wouldn’t it be better to be more comfortable than this?

“Sleep, wait!”

Thinking like that, he soon opened his mouth and tried to reveal his plan, but-

Puuk.

“Turn it off-“

“Excuse me. Are you finally going to speak?”

This time, on the contrary, his knife goes deep into the throat, as if he is not going to listen to anything he says.

Hook. Deep. Deep.

A blade stabbing so mercilessly that you can’t even scream. The man felt himself becoming dizzy from the pain and only then did he realize the truth.

This damn b*tch doesn’t need information-

“But why don’t you speak? “Your mouth is fine, but-“

He just grinned and needed an excuse to keep swinging his sword.

“…I guess you don’t want to talk about it either. Yes?”

Maybe this is what they- no. Now that he’s the only one left, he won’t stop unless he loses his mind and goes crazy.

“Then we have no choice but to continue-“

Just as he was giving up, just as she was about to continue her devastation-

“-Eujin. There is?”

“…God?”

“As expected, it’s there. “You said you were taking a look at the building you moved into?”

“Ahahahahaha…”

“Tsk.”

Suddenly opening and pouring light. Hyun-woo appears at the same time as the dark scene in the basement is revealed and the blood-covered room begins to shine as it is.

“Come quickly. If this continues, it will be late.”

“Yes? “I said the moving was almost done…”

“Not that. Meeting time. “Have you turned off your phone?”

“Ugh… I’m sorry.”

He looked around the room once, frowning, but then laughed it off and laughed.

“What is there to be sorry about? “Go quickly.”

“Yes, I will follow right away.”

“If you don’t want to follow me, go first.”

“But-”

“I’ll take care of everything afterward. You should also go and get some rest. Or what, do I have to command you again to listen?”

“No. “I’ll go.”

The conversation continues. Soon she lowered her head and ran up the stairs, and Hyunwoo clicked his tongue and quietly closed the door, entering the basement with her.

The tied villain glared at him and took a deep breath, and soon became frightened as he remembered what he would do.

The meaning of cleaning up can also mean cleaning up – but it is not a very good meaning among villains.

“…It was done very extravagantly.”

As soon as Hyunwoo approached, he closed his eyes tightly and waited for his own death, but-

“I wonder if this is right.”

Death did not come no matter how much I waited, so I opened my eyes slightly and looked at him, and was embarrassed to find Hyunwoo looking around without paying any attention to him.

A somewhat bitter expression. Why are you making that kind of expression – even here?

He continued to look at him in confusion, and soon he even thought that he was crazy and had seen the wrong thing-

“…I’m sorry.”

Surprisingly, his thoughts were not much different, and he was lost in thought, muttering an inaudible apology.

-Thank you so much.

A heroine with a beautiful smile.

-A wound? I will treat you. Hey, no need to say thank you. Are you the one who saved me?

One of the only support characters in the game with healing abilities,

-Hmm… Hatred for villains? There isn’t anything in particular. No, I can’t say it doesn’t exist, but I can tolerate it. Why? That’s right-

The only one in the game-

-When I saw Hangyeol saving me, I also came to admire heroes.

An unfortunate character who dreamed of becoming a hero, but dies halfway through any route.

As the image of her smiling widely and opening her hands toward him and the image of her smiling while holding the knife she had just seen intertwined in her mind, he closed his eyes and sighed.

“…I’m truly sorry.”

Why am I apologizing?

Anxiety that the future has been distorted? A sense of guilt for corrupting someone who was originally a heroine but dreamed of becoming a hero into a villain? Guilt for turning her love for Hangyeol into respect for herself?

No, that’s not the reason or that feeling.

Of course, he-

“You make me drink the blood of such trash. “It’s not right for a child.”

“…What?”

As one hero guessed, a maniac who has become twisted somewhere. Because he was a villain who caused harm to the world. How can he possibly feel guilty about what he has already done to a ‘piece of data’?

“Is there anyone out there?”

“Yes, there is.”

As soon as Hyunwoo shouted, the villains opened the door and came in.

“Put all these fiddles in a pack.”

“…You mean the blood of these dirty bastards?”

“Uh huh, you have to be careful what you say. From now on, it’s the kids’ lunch.”

Hyeonwoo headed toward the stairs with a grin on his face, then turned his head towards the villain who was glaring at him in astonishment-

“…In the future too.”

“As you wish.”

I turned my attention again and headed to the conference room.

Kwaek-kwaang!

The door is closed again and the basement becomes dark. There, only the villain who was in confusion and other villains who had begun to collect blood with their abilities remained –

Ugh. Ugh. Sigh.

Soon, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of something being swept up and poured out somewhere.
